Chapter 122: Mercenary Lei Ao
Before I knew it, nearly ten days had passed. Ye Feng traveled leisurely, and his life was dull, and he could only focus on cultivation at ordinary times. It's just that when I crossed the prairie, I happened to encounter a huge snake demon at a convenient time, but I didn't have time to wipe my ass and ran for my life in a hurry. made him tremble when it was convenient for the past two days, not because he was afraid of death, but because he was afraid of an ugly death.
In the end, the northwest of the Julong Continent is a remote place, with few people and most mountains and deserts. For several days, everything was deserted. After a few more days, Ye Feng came to a desert known as Shuhar. As long as you cross this desert, you will reach the prosperous area in the center of the continent. The hot weather made Ye Feng a little uncomfortable, originally the Tenglong Mountains were northern, and the climate should be cold. But perhaps there is a gathering of aura, trees are thick, and there is rarely a great cold and heat. The Shuhar Desert, on the other hand, is very hot during the day and extremely cold at night. Let Ye Feng cry out and be unbearable.
"One hundred and fifty gold leaves, too expensive!" said an old man in surprise to the thin man in front of him, and a beautiful little girl next to him took the old man's hand.
"Hey, it's too expensive? That's the price of going to the desert now! Seeing that the old man was not very rich, the thin man looked snobbish, too lazy to take care of it, and said with a lewd smile, "Eh, your granddaughter is good-looking, if you are willing to accompany the uncle for one night, it doesn't hurt for the uncle to help you with the travel expenses!"
"Don't you think! you toad!" the old man was furious when he heard this, and protected his granddaughter behind him. His granddaughter hurriedly pulled him away, afraid of causing trouble here. Before leaving, the woman glared at the thin man fiercely, and the thin man unconsciously shivered under the sharp eyes.
"What's the big deal? Uncle is rich and afraid of no woman?" Looking at the back of the old man and the girl leaving, the thin man spat on the ground fiercely, and just a white young man walked past the old man. With years of experience, the thin man rolled his eyes and immediately concluded that a fat customer had come to the door.
Before entering the desert, there was a small town called Shuhar Town. Because it is a necessary stop on the way to the Shuhar Desert, many people use it as a stop to buy essential supplies. There are also quite a few mercenaries gathered, waiting for the caravan to be hired. Ye Feng thought in his heart, he was not familiar with the place and his experience was insufficient, so it was better to move forward with the caravan, otherwise he would be wronged if there was an accident in the desert.
Despite this thought, a closer look shows that there are not many people in the town. Most of them are residents of the area, and there are a few mercenaries waiting for work. Ye Feng had been walking on the street for a long time, and there were few caravans, let alone those who happened to be heading south.
"Is this different from what my mother said?" Ye Feng frowned, touching his chin and worrying. When he used to wander with his parents, his mother also told him a lot about local customs, and he had a good memory, and he couldn't forget what he said.
Suddenly, a slender hand slapped Ye Feng on the shoulder, "Hey, little brother!"
Ye Feng turned around and saw that it was a thin man, with a pair of mouse eyes and dark skin, which was proof of living in a hot place all year round. "Little brother is looking for a mercenary?" the thin man grinned, revealing the shrewdness of a businessman.
"It's not. I'd like to find a caravan to the south, and an experienced guide would do the same. Ye Feng was distressed, and when he saw someone asking, he said it.
"The little brother doesn't know. Now the Shuhar Desert is rampant with thieves, and demons and monsters appear from time to time. Ordinary mercenaries have been killed a lot, caravans or something, they don't dare to take this road. The thin man smiled, "It's been so many days, and there is a team of salt merchants, who just went to the south two days ago. Others, no more. ”
"Huh, what should I do then?" Ye Feng asked anxiously when he heard this, he encountered obstacles at the first stop of going out, but it was not smooth.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm related to my little brother. I'll do my best to help you!" the thin man grinned, revealing two rat teeth, "I know a famous mercenary here, and he has many experiences protecting caravans through the desert. If you need it, I can introduce you on your behalf. Well, the cost is relatively high, you know!"
Ye Feng thought to himself, firstly, he didn't know how powerful the desert bandit monsters were, and he didn't dare to hold it up, and secondly, if he was traveling with a master, wouldn't it be better if he could also ask for advice and study?
The thin man smiled, but he didn't expect a big fat sheep to come, this person has white skin and tender meat, most of them are the sons of the rich man in the countryside, this kind of person is not slaughtered, how can he be right?" "Don't bother, I like to help those unruly young people the most!" The thin man laughed again and again, "As for the commission, it may cost five hundred gold leaves." ”
"No problem!" Ye Feng was neat, there were really a lot of gold leaves left by his father, and I don't know where he came from, anyway, it was enough for Ye Feng to squander. Seeing that Ye Feng was so refreshing, the thin man secretly wondered if he was too merciful, and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his flesh, and he had to squeeze out a smile and said, "Okay, okay! I'll take you to see the mercenary now." ”
"No need, I'm coming!" a lazy voice came, but the thin man's face twitched. A young man in his twenties strode up, tall and lanky. His eyes are lazy, he has a short beard on his cheeks, and he holds a long knife in his hand, which has a bit of a ronin flavor.
"You're just looking for me, aren't you? The man said to the thin man. The thin man snorted angrily in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Yes, yes." Aren't I going to introduce the guests to Uncle Lei Ao?" "The thin man is a mercenary intermediary in the neighborhood, but he likes to kill people indiscriminately, and he is irresponsible, and casually introduces mercenaries to passengers. Anyway, as long as he takes the money, he doesn't care about the lives of others, and he is a bastard with no professional ethics. I met Lei Ao two days ago and wanted to slaughter him, but Lei Ao was also an old man who had been walking for many years, but he gave him a good beating, and now he was afraid when he saw Lei Ao.
"That's good, it's your brokerage fee. Lei Ao took out five gold leaves from his bag. Biya's heart is dripping with blood, although the Shuhar Desert is rampant, but no one dares to go. With the current market, one hundred gold leaves is already the top of the sky, and you can earn four hundred gold leaves as soon as you change hands. I don't know that the business was robbed by Lei Ao, so forget it. But this slamming the door, just give him hardware leaves, how can he accept this?
"I said, Uncle Lei Ao. It's like, a little less, isn't it?" asked Biya cautiously with a smile on her face. Lei Ao casually pulled the long knife and said, "This market is like this? Isn't the price the agent going anywhere?
Biya's body trembled, and he hurriedly said, "No need, no need!" After saying that, he excused himself and walked away, and before leaving, he heard Lei Ao say to Ye Feng: "Little master, this road is extremely dangerous, five hundred golden leaves may not be enough!"
"Is it okay to have six hundred?" Ye Feng was extremely refreshing, and even made Biya almost vomit blood to death, such a fat sheep, just like that. But he didn't dare to compete with Lei Ao, and only cursed him millions of times in his heart. It's really soft and afraid of hard, and hard is afraid of horizontal.
