Chapter 278 Negotiators
First, it happened very suddenly.
Second, the distance between me and Yang Yu is not too close.
The combination of the above two situations made it impossible for me to save people in time.
Therefore, the white bone claw that suddenly appeared could only rely on Yang Yu to save itself.
What if I can't help myself?
Die!
At the beginning of the moment, I thought that Yang Yu was dead.
But when the bone claws can touch the dandruff of the yang fish, this little scholar who goes his own way on the surface, is absurd and proud, but is actually a little timid and cowardly...... The momentum of the whole body suddenly soared into the sky!
That's right, I'm also a second-generation martial artist, how can I not practice one or two life-saving stunts?
I saw a number of qi spikes visible to the naked eye, from the tail keel of the yang fish along the spine to the upward ejection, the whistling qi spikes hit the bone claws in a row, so that the speed of its downward grasp suddenly stagnated.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Yu rolled forward, dodging the bone claw attack, and while taking advantage of the situation, he copied the blue box placed on the ground into his arms.
Wow......
The bone claw missed, and then shrank away, leaving a rippling sound.
Yang Yu stood up in shock, and looked with me at the source of the bone clawβthe large pot of boiling liquidβand yes, the bone claw came out of the large jar.
Could it be that there is a white bone spirit hidden in the medicine jar?
"I said, Lord Wizard, are you a fish?" There was a silence for a while, and then I asked a leisurely question.
Stimulated by my words, the noodle soup in the medicine jar gradually became waves.
Immediately after, a wet, semi-white ossified skull slowly emerged from the medicinal soup.
I see......
The 'man in the soup' had two straw pipes stuck in his nostrils.
When he immersed his whole body in the medicinal soup, as long as the grass tube was slightly protruded from the soup noodles, he would naturally be able to breathe the air outside.
Due to the fact that there are a lot of impurities floating on the surface of the medicinal soup, without deliberate observation, as long as the two grass pipes are not too protruding, ordinary people really can't notice it.
"You ...... Be...... Who? "The 'man in the soup' asked me expressionlessly, listening to that tone, it seemed that the sudden attack on us just now had nothing to do with him.
The identity of this 'man in the soup', Yang Yu and I both guessed.
We can't even guess - we found this place after his scent - one of the survivors of the Miao Witch War in Xiaolin Town, just heard that the impressive Blue Village wizard who lost his muscles as he walked!
The reason why he was hiding in the medicinal soup was of course not to ambush us, but to treat the Gu poison that covered his whole body.
"We are the people of the Eagle Claw Gate!" I didn't plan to play with him, so I got straight to the point as soon as I came up.
"You can find it here?" The people in the soup said quite unexpectedly.
"Isn't it difficult?" I asked rhetorically.
"That's right." The people in the soup seemed to be a little annoyed, "I already knew that I shouldn't believe you outsiders!" β
"You mean 'they' outsiders, right?" I said coldly, "You can't blame them, after all, not everyone has as hard bones as you." β
"Whatever happens between you, it has nothing to do with me." "I just had a business with them, and the business was already done, and I don't even know what happened......
"I'd like to believe you." I said, "Actually, for me, even if you do it yourself, what does it matter?" You're a murderous knife at best, not the mastermind behind the hilt. β
"Then what do you want to do here?" The man in the soup asked.
"What do you think I want to do?" I asked rhetorically.
"If you want to kill me...... Then there wouldn't be so much nonsense. The man in the soup said slowly, "Either looking for me to detoxify, or getting some news from my mouth, right?" β
"That's right, it's not right." I say.
"Oh?" The soup is humane.
"Actually, I want to do a business with you." I said, "Don't you like business too?" β
"Since it's business, ...... Just make an offer. "The tone of the people in the soup gave me a glimpse of what it means to be rational.
"Oh, shouldn't you make the price yourself?" I said.
"A smart businessman should know how to make the other party make a price." The man in the soup smiled inexplicably.
Of course, the fact that he has a weird smile is probably because he only has half of his face left.
"Okay, I'll make a bid." I nodded, "But before I make an offer, I want to make two things clear......"
I held out two fingers.
"First, although your virus is quite powerful, it's a pity that I have been eliminated."
I withdrew a finger.
"Second, you told me all the news I want to know."
I withdrew my other finger.
"So...... Now you're worth the price! β
With that, I threw out a copper coin and slammed it on the medicine jar, spinning and falling into the dust.
The face of the person in the soup suddenly changed.
But suddenly, he laughed.
"Boy." Tang Zhongdao said, "Although your acting skills from beginning to end are flawless, it's a pity that you still show a little bit of horseback." β
"Acting? Horse feet? I pretended to be puzzled.
"Hehe, although you pretend to be in control of the overall situation, as if you have taken care of most things, and you just came to me to do the finishing work......" Tang Zhongren sneered, "But what you said just now shows that you don't know anything at all!" β
This time, it was my turn to change my face.
Even though there was a flash of inspiration just now, the big boss (a famous actor in the troupe) was on his body, and the bluffing tactics still failed.
"Of course, I'm not going to tell you what's wrong with that sentence." The man in the soup said, "With doubts and regrets, you can go and chat with the Black Mountain God!" β
When I heard him say that, I knew something was going to be wrong.
But what's wrong with it?
Could it be that he can still jump out of the medicine jar and fight me and Yang Yu for 300 rounds at the same time with a skeleton?
Or is it ......
"People from outside the mountain, I really can't believe it!" A familiar voice came from outside the door.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, a lean man appeared in front of me.
"Is that you?" I was surprised, "You're a hidden master?" β
"Ashamed, ashamed." The lean man said, "I came in entirely because my Ninety-Nine Prefecture dialect is relatively good, and the Great Wizard and the wizards are waiting outside the door." β
"Oh, negotiator." It dawned on me.
"Negotiator?" The lean man was stunned for a moment, "This name sounds quite pleasant, but unfortunately, we have nothing to negotiate, you only have two choices - die, or be beaten to the ground by our wizard, crumbling and then die." β
"There's always a third option." I muttered, "For example...... I'll take this sorcerer dipped in a potion jar hostage, and I'll talk to you about the conditions. β
"Hostage-taking?" The lean man smiled, "That's a good idea, but it's a pity that the wizards are one step ahead of you." β
"Get people out of the way?" I glanced at the man in the medicine jar.
"Grab the hostages earlier!" The lean man said.
