Chapter 109: Recruitment
In a corner of the city.
With a "bang", a thin figure was slammed on the earthen wall, and the fragile earthen wall suddenly sank.
"A few people, spare the old man, there is such a piece of blood crystal in the old man's hand, and it has to be used by the two of us in turn. The weak figure didn't care about wiping the blood from his mouth, but he crawled to protect the little girl standing on the side.
"Looks like you're asking for money. ”
"Get out of here, dead old man, call out the blood crystal in your hand, if you don't hand it over, believe it or not, I'll kill you. The man looked angry and kicked the little girl with a fierce kick.
The old man hugged the little girl and rolled out two or three meters away from the man's kick.
"Damn, you don't want to live anymore, do you? ”
The man stepped forward again, grabbed the old man by the collar, and punched him in the face.
A tooth spurted out with a mouthful of blood.
"Don't, don't hit my grandfather!" cried the little girl.
Not far away, several men with blood crystals were looking at the men in front of them with great interest, and from time to time let out applause similar to cheering.
"It's asking for money. After two punches in a row, looking at the old man who was almost only gasping for breath, the man frowned, and sneered in a strange way, "Hey, that you." ”
The man hooked his finger at the three people standing behind him.
"I heard you want to join us. ”
"Yes, yes. A pale-faced man trembled up and down like chaff.
"Give you a chance, beat them both to death, and you can join us. With a smile in his eyes, the man stepped aside to make room for the man.
The two people behind him also made a look, and pushed the man to the front with a wicked smile: "Boy, if you want to join our Jackal Gang, be bolder, our Jackal Gang doesn't need cowards." ”
The little girl in the old man's arms looked nervously at the man who was pushed in front of her, her eyes were full of fear, she didn't know what she had done wrong, they were going to kill her.
The little girl was clutching a blood crystal the size of a fingernail in her hand, as if praying to God.
"Hey, Assam, don't you want to join us. Now the opportunity is in front of you, as long as you beat that old man to death, you can join us, okay, that's a good idea. ”
The companions standing on either side also let out a burst of unbridled laughter.
When the man called Assam heard this, his body trembled more and more violently, he just wanted to live, not kill.
In this city, the lives of the poor are worthless.
As a rich person, you can live in many ways, you can drive a luxury car, soak in white and rich beauty, go in and out of high-end hotels and get high-quality blood crystals to soak in wine, you can live a completely detached life, but on the contrary, as a poor person, your fate is nothing more than three paths, mining, ganging or dying.
"Old man, don't blame me, if you want to blame the world, blame this world. Assam looked at the fist in his hand and raised it high in the air, but when he looked at the pure eyes of the little girl, his fist never fell.
Not only that, but he couldn't even hold his fists.
"You boy, if you don't want to die, do it for me. The man who had stood to the side turned pale and pulled out a dagger from his waist.
Assam was so frightened that his feet trembled, and his fist tightened in mid-air.
"Ahh
Suddenly, there was an extremely miserable roar from behind.
"Bang!" a figure flew over Assam's head, and slammed straight into a wall of mud, and the wall made of loose yellow mud was smashed into two parts.
"Who is it?"
Assam's crotch trembled, and when he turned around, he saw two figures, one tall and one short, standing behind him not far away.
At this moment, one of his companions, who had been standing behind him, was pinched by the throat by the tall man.
Slowly lifted off the ground like a duck that had lost its feathers.
"You, you, we're the Jackals, if you annoy us. ”
"Jackals?" the man in the crowd was a little surprised, as if he was wondering what was going on.
Assam's feet were a little weak, and the two of them, who had always regarded him as a little brother, were now lying on the edge of the earthen wall and wailing.
And the eldest brother who was the leader was pinched in the hands of the man in the cloak,
It's not good, the soles of his feet are a little weak, and he can't wait to turn around immediately and run away.
"Assamese, what are you doing, beat them up for me!" The man who was carried seemed to have discovered Assam's intentions, and scolded viciously, "If you kid dares to run away for me, we will find you even if we search the whole city......"
"Yo, you gangsters, you dare to intimidate others in front of Miss Ben. ”
A female voice came from the small man's cloak, interrupting the man's voice abruptly.
"Hmph!" the little man walked up to the tall man, looked up at the other party who was lifted, and shook his seemingly small fist upwards.
"Wait ......" The tall man seemed to be about to stop him, and before he could say anything, the fist slammed in.
With a bang, the fist wind smashed the man's body, and the man flew straight out in mid-air as if he was blown away by a hurricane, his head hit the earthen wall dozens of meters away, and his body was strangely crooked into seven or eight sections.
"In other words, can you control the point, and if you do this, who will dare to give us news. The tall man glanced at the short girl.
"Hmph, I'm not satisfied, I'm just in this temper. The short man snorted with his little fist.
Can't afford to provoke it, don't look at this fist white and tender, but he has seen this fist directly blow up a sandworm with his body armor.
"No, isn't there another over there? The short man snorted at Assam.
Assam's feet shook uncontrollably, he couldn't hold it anymore, his butt crooked, and he sat down on the ground.
The tall man glanced at the limp Assam and waved at the short man.
"Don't worry, leave it to me. The short man laughed, clenched his fist, and made a loud noise, she dragged Assam's collar seemingly casually, and dragged Assam to the corner of the side despite his struggles, and the laughter made Assam's whole body tremble, like a devil in hell.
"Thank you, thank you, hero. ”
The old man came back to his senses from his horror and looked at the two with a pale face, although he didn't know where the other came from, but at least the other party saved his own life.
The old man struggled and slowly supported his body, and with the little girl, he seemed to want to kneel, and the little girl also realized that the other party had saved them, and got out of the old man's arms, as if she wanted to kowtow instead.
However, before the old man's knees reached the ground, the tall figure floated in front of him in an instant, and a warm current flowed from the other party's held arm.
The old man suddenly felt that his body didn't seem to hurt anymore.
"Old man, you are from the East. The tall man looked at the old man's appearance and smiled slightly.
"Shaoxia is also an Oriental. Hearing the local voice, the old man looked up in astonishment, and two cloudy tears flowed from his eyes.
When he met his old acquaintance in a foreign country, and the other party saved his life, the old man was sad and happy.
The tall man didn't explain, and took off the cloak on his head, revealing the appearance of an Oriental, but it was Wu Wei who had come from thousands of miles.
The little girl looked curiously at the yellow-skinned man who looked a little like herself, and smiled on her face.
Home of the elderly.
Bai Mo was playing with the little girl, and the silver double ponytail was flicking and flicking, which was extremely dazzling.
Such beautiful silver long hair is like a star, which is really extremely rare, so along the way, Wu Wei and Bai Mo have always been wearing cloaks, but even so, they will always meet hooligans and ruffians who can't open their eyes, among them, there is the so-called Jackal Gang.
Therefore, as soon as Bai Mo saw those ruffians and hooligans, he lost his seriousness.
"That kid over there," Wu Wei glanced at Assam, who was standing in general, even if this kid hadn't made a move before, otherwise it would be a question of whether he could stand up now.
"Yes, yes. Hearing this, Assam hurriedly trotted over, all the way with a slanted eye at the side of the playing white ink, although the man in front of him seemed to be the leader, but in his eyes, this seemingly harmless little girl is what scares her the most, yes, she is simply a devil!
Oh my God, how can there be a devil in the world with such an angelic face, this is the devil's demagogy, it must be.
"What are you looking at, don't you want to live anymore?" Bai Mo noticed the other party's gaze and glared back viciously.
"Don't dare, don't dare" Assam was glared at by the other party, his legs and feet were weak, and he almost knelt down.
"Hmph, that's pretty much it. Bai Mo was triumphant, stepping on small steps and jumping forward all the way.
The old man's home has a small courtyard made of earthen walls, surrounded by earthen buildings, which can be used to shelter from the wind and sand, and the only disadvantage is that every time the wind and sand pass, the ground in the courtyard will be filled with sand.
"It's a small town, and there aren't many people, but there are a lot of them. Who knows that since the well of gods and demons, this place has been a lot more lively, there are people everywhere who come to mine, there are more people, the security is poor, and this place is not as safe as before, but this day, we still have to live after all. ”
The little girl had fun with Bai Mo and reached out to grab Bai Mo's double ponytail.
When the old man saw it, he was so frightened that he grabbed the little girl and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, don't blame the young man, the child is not sensible." ”
"It's okay," Bai Mo was quite close to the child, scratched the little girl's nose, and took out a piece of candy in his pocket, and smiled.
"You don't want to feed people. ”
"Don't worry, Miss Ben is still clear about this. Bai Mo crossed his waist proudly.
Wu Wei asked, "Does the old gentleman know how to get to the well of gods and demons?" ”
"Are you going to the Well of Gods and Demons?" the old man immediately understood when he heard this, "Yes, the two of you are very human at first glance, and you came to this small city for the Well of Gods and Demons." ”
"It's just that the well of gods and demons is a demon cave, and every month, I don't know how many people give their lives to go to that demon cave, but in the end, they can't even find their bodies. If nothing else, let's just say that about ninety percent of the young people in this city went, and in the end, only twenty percent came back, all of them died, all died, even the little girl's Abba died in the well of gods and demons. This well of gods and demons is mysterious and unpredictable, and the two benefactors still have to be cautious. ”
Wu Wei knew that the old man had good intentions, but going to the Well of Gods and Demons was a must-practice.
"In this world, since the well of gods and demons came, all cows and sheep have been sick, and many people have also been sick, and later I learned that only by eating that blood crystal can I relieve the pain. ”
"Eating blood crystals can alleviate the erosion of the qi of gods and demons?"
"Yes, even if you can't eat it, if you can wear the blood crystal on your body, you can alleviate it. As he spoke, the old man coughed repeatedly.
Absorbing blood crystals can indeed increase cultivation and resist the death of gods and demons, but the use of blood crystals is undoubtedly to quench thirst by drinking a donkey, although it can suppress the erosion of the death qi of gods and demons for a while, but in the long run, people who use blood crystals will also die of madness after all.
Wu Wei glanced at the little girl who was playing with Bai Mo, and took out a piece of blood source crystal from her body, compared to blood crystal, the purity of blood source crystal is much higher, even if it is eaten, the damage to the body is not so great.
"This is reluctant," the old man had a gentle and mellow personality, and when he saw that Wu Wei was going to give him the blood source crystal, a look of panic suddenly appeared on his face.
Although the old man couldn't tell the difference between blood crystals and blood source crystals, such a large piece of blood crystals was also very expensive, so how could he be embarrassed to accept it.
"It's okay, just think of it as the cost of room and board for the next few days before we find a way to go to the mine. ”
Hearing this, the old man reluctantly nodded in agreement.
"If you insist on going to the well of gods and demons, I know a way, every week the foreman of the well of gods and demons will come to the neighborhood to help recruit miners in the well of gods and demons, in the past only recruited people in a few nearby towns, now there is a large demand for miners, and there are more points to run, if you want to go, you can go to the nearby towns to inquire, maybe you can meet in which town. The old man pondered for a moment, he knew that the two of them insisted on going, and he must not be able to stop it.
"Well, I've heard there's going to be a wave of recruits here tomorrow. Assam on the side suddenly opened his mouth and looked at Wu Wei tremblingly.
"Tomorrow?"
"Yes, eight o'clock in the morning, at the East Street Entrance. ”
