Chapter 1336: Gambling on Life
() "Guests from afar, your arrival has made the whole Gobi flourish." Shepchenko has been active on the border of the Song Empire all the year round and has learned a lot of idioms, but there is no way, it is better to find a rich party to exchange green ears for money.
Ten greenskins can find veterans on the Song Empire's side to exchange for enough food for one person to eat for a month, and at most two bottles of wine on the Kislev Kingdom's side.
Shepchenko's chosen meeting place was a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the sword immortal Li Xiao had already reconnoitred in advance and had no ambush, and the sincerity of the horse thief was very real.
More than forty horseback thieves lined up in the circular valley, each wearing a different buckle armor, as if deliberately reflecting their own personality, more than a dozen even had layers of linen wrapped around their heads, and even their eyes only leaked a slit.
Xu Yichen left everyone outside the valley, and only took Ma Chao into the valley to meet each other.
"You want to see us?" Xu Yichen stood there like a statue, casting a huge shadow in the sun.
Shepchenko only knew that a demon hunter of Seris descent would pass by, but he didn't know who the demon hunter was, he had connections in the Kingdom of Kislev, but he was blind on the side of the Song Empire.
Shepchenko's attitude towards the Seris was not accurate, and he was not sure about his companions, and he didn't even know whether the opposite side would strike first or the companions behind him if he would kill him first.
But Shepchenko's ability to abandon everything and run into the Great Gobi alone to survive proved that he was a decisive man, and the leader of the horse thieves gestured to his companions to let them rest down here, and then approached Xu Yichen single-handedly.
"I'm Shepchenko, the leader of the horse thieves, and I took the liberty of asking for a meeting this time for the sake of one of the demon hunters in your team, and we need his help." Shepchenko turned over and dismounted, bowing his head slightly to the giant's Xu Yichen.
He had seen too many green skins of this height in this land, and he was not surprised at all by a human of this size, and even felt the urge to slash at it.
Ma Chao glanced at Xu Yichen in some surprise, he already knew that this big man's previous profession was a demon hunter.
Shepchenko also greeted Ma Chao slightly, and said with a smile: "It's also a pleasure to meet you, Ma Chao, I hope you didn't speak ill of us in your own country." ”
Ma Chao just lowered his head and returned the salute to Shepchenko, without speaking, as a horse thief who participated in four or five meetings, Ma Chao didn't even know the name of the leader opposite before, he joined the horse thief just because he took a fancy to the various bonuses of this profession, as well as his reputation outside the gate.
"What's the matter with you looking for demon hunters?" Xu Yichen did not continue to be aggressive, since the other party was looking for a demon hunter, then he used the identity of a demon hunter to deal with it.
"A little more personal business, I'm afraid it's better for us to talk in person." Shepchenko said without humility or arrogance: "I hope you can make it convenient, I am willing to pay for this, as the largest human force in the Great Gobi, we have the most accurate map here." ”
Shepchenko had heard some legends about demon hunters, and their lair was said to be not far from the kingdom of Kislev, but he had lived on the eastern front all his life and had limited knowledge of the mysterious supernatural forces on the other side of the kingdom of Kislev.
He knew that these people were very tough, had special weapons, and had been fighting Chaos, and he also knew that they sometimes took money to do things, and Shepchenko just hoped that the demon hunter he wanted to meet this time would collect money to do things, instead of completely purifying them.
"I'm the demon hunter you're looking for, and now I can talk about something directly." Xu Yichen took out the cat school talisman that was about to crack from his arms, and put it away in front of Shepchenko.
Ashamed to say, he suddenly found that he had nothing on him other than the feline resentment amulet, which could be halved at any moment, and he said that the Great Sword of War was a Valyrian steel weapon, and someone had to believe it.
Shepchenko was stunned for a while, looking at Xu Yichen with some complexity, when he did this, he could only see the other party's appearance clearly when he raised his head, although he knew that the demon hunter would drink a certain potion to cause the body to mutate, but he really didn't expect the mutation to be so serious?
Those Plague Wind believers haven't become so big, have they?
Shepchenko calmed down and glanced at Ma Chao: "Can you please ask this brother to back down a little, what we are going to talk about is not suitable for others to hear." ”
Ma Chao didn't move, but looked at Xu Yichen, waiting for the other party's order, Shepchenko didn't mean to be angry, the horse thieves were originally just the shells of their gang of sons of the four winds.
Xu Yichen gestured slightly, and Ma Chao turned his horse's head and took a hundred steps back.
"Dear Demon Hunter, I heard from a priest of the God of War that your blood has the miraculous effect of purifying chaos?" Shepchenko looked at the musket on his waist, and then at the sword, which was full of jagged teeth and exuded a terrifying aura, wondering if it was an illusion that he always felt that the weapon exuded the smell of blood.
He was thinking about how he could express what he wanted to express tactfully, so as not to be killed by the giant in front of him, who seemed to be a good at doing this kind of thing.
Xu Yichen spread out his palm, and a silver flame stretched and bloomed there like a lotus, and Shepchenko could feel the threat of the flame to him even from a meter away.
The huge demon hunter looked down at Shepchenko: "It's not just blood. ”
Shepchenko swallowed, this was not what he wanted: "My lord, we need your help!" The power of chaos is raging within us, but we are not the lackeys of chaos, we are surviving on the Great Gobi just to not give in to the god of the four winds! I want to use your blood to banish the curse that the God of the Four Winds has placed on us! ”
Xu Yichen carefully distinguished the smell of Shepchenko's body, and the chaotic stench was indeed different from what he had smelled before, a little lighter.
"My blood can directly cause damage to Chaos creatures, and the last Chaos Demon who drank my blood burned to ashes in front of my eyes, do you still want to do that?" Xu Yichen looked at Shepchenko and put one hand on the sword of war.
Ever since the last time Nicks realized that he had been tricked, the sword spirit had entered a state of self-isolation and refused to speak up.
"I'd love to give it a try!" Shepchenko glanced at the children of the four winds behind him and said firmly.
