Chapter 52: See Xiao Hongyu Again
When the sun set, Li Xiaomo and his party finally arrived at the rest point.
The rest point looks like a small village, with more than a dozen wooden buildings. The building is surrounded by improvised wooden walls with watchtowers at the four corners.
Peng Hao told the demon hunter who came here for the first time that this rest point was established collectively by some consortiums. Here, medical care, accommodation, supplies, and goods can be found, on the one hand, to facilitate the demon hunters to go out hunting, and on the other hand, those consortia are also to make a difference here.
Many demon hunters are not willing to waste time returning to the city, because it is too delayed, so they will sell to the nearby consortium acquisition team. Of course, the price is lower than the market price. But it also saves them on transportation costs, with a safety crisis on the road.
Demon hunters buy supplies, heal injuries, stay and eat here. There will also be a certain increase in price. So, those consortia are making money from demon hunters.
However, for people who lick blood from the knife all year round, this little money is nothing. On top of that, there is a garrison here, where you can rest in peace without worrying about being bitten off by monsters while sleeping.
Li Xiaomo listened carefully and looked at the small supply point.
In the end, Peng Hao gave a summary.
"You have to remember that in the wild, the most dangerous thing is not the monster, but the human. Maybe you don't understand it now, but one day, you will understand the meaning of this sentence. ”
Many demon hunters who went out for the first time had puzzled expressions, and some demon hunters felt the same way.
Li Xiaomo's eyes flickered, of course he understood the meaning of this sentence. In his last life, he had seen too many cases of deception, and he had seen many examples of stabbing in the back. If he hadn't been cautious and kept one hand in everything, I'm afraid he wouldn't have survived the crossing and died at the hands of his kind.
When entering the rest point, Peng Hao paid a fee. But instead of coins, he used the horns of more than a dozen unicorned rabbits. Li Xiaomo was a little surprised, Ye Wenlong, who was walking beside him, told him that this was a ticket, and after coming in, he would be protected by the garrison of the supply point, so he would be charged a certain reward.
The hard currency circulating here is the monster material, of course, other things can also be used, but the monster material is relatively easy to obtain, so it is used as a reward by the demon hunters.
Inside the supply point, it is forbidden to fight, and if anyone makes trouble here, they will be driven out of the supply point. Therefore, Ye Wenlong reminded everyone not to cause trouble here.
Li Xiaomo listened while looking at the surrounding situation.
After a short time, everyone arrived at the accommodation area. The so-called lodging area is a small wooden house with a large wooden bed board, which is very hard and very simple.
But in the wild, it's better than sleeping on the ground.
As soon as Li Xiaomo sorted out her things, she saw a familiar figure at the door.
In front of the wooden door of the room opposite him, stood a young man with a sad face. He put his hands behind his back, bent over, and seemed irritable.
Li Xiaomo was a little surprised when she saw him. Xiao Hongyu? How did he end up here?
The young man opposite is Xiao Hongyu, who has a relationship with Li Xiaomo, Hong Jingtao's cousin. Last time, this guy enthusiastically invited his family to have a good meal, this is a good person, a very good person.
Seeing Xiao Hongyu, Li Xiaomo showed a smile and walked over.
Xiao Hongyu seemed to feel Li Xiaomo's gaze, and when he turned around and saw Li Xiaomo, he was also a little surprised.
"Why are you here?"
Without waiting for Li Xiaomo to speak, Xiao Hongyu first asked suspiciously.
Li Xiaomo shrugged her shoulders and replied:
"Oh, isn't this escorted, it's nothing, come out for a stroll and relax."
The corners of Xiao Hongyu's mouth twitched, and Li Xiaomo suddenly saw that his energy value had increased by 50 points.
"You're escorted? Where's the delivery? ”
Xiao Hongyu looked at Li Xiaomo with a strange expression, as if he thought Li Xiaomo was bragging.
"Where's the guarantee? It's hard to say yet. I'm full of blood, I heard that the eight colleges and universities are chosen at will, hey, worried, I don't know how to choose, otherwise I wouldn't have come out to relax! ”
Li Xiaomo held her hands behind her back, shook her head, and looked helpless and depressed.
Then, Li Xiaomo's energy value increased by another 50 points.
"You...... You...... Congratulations, congratulations. ”
Xiao Hongyu barely squeezed out a smile and said without saltiness.
And in his heart, Xiao Hongyu scolded vigorously. This bastard is clearly showing off in front of himself, which is really shameless. What's so great about a full blood? Even if it's a special recruitment from eight universities, what's the big deal? Aren't you one of the eight universities? This bastard kid is still so annoying.
"That Xiao Jingtao! Why are you here? ”
Li Xiaomo pretended to ask casually.
Xiao Hongyu was stunned for a moment, who is Xiao Jingtao? He was stunned for ten seconds before he could react. Damn, this grandson cheated himself last time, and he even forgot his name?
Looking at Li Xiaomo with a dark face, Xiao Hongyu suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice:
"My name is Xiao Hongyu!"
"Oh oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't have a good memory. Especially those passers-by A, B and C, they can't remember! Hehe, don't be angry! ”
Xiao Hongyu almost slapped him. What do you mean by this bastard? How did you become a passer-by? How can you say that you are also the top student in last year's college entrance examination, and now you are a passerby?
Bastard, even if you kid is the limit of blood, you don't have to be so arrogant, right? It's really annoying to me!
Xiao Hongyu stared at Li Xiaomo with an unkind face, but Li Xiaomo patted Xiao Hongyu on the shoulder as if he didn't see it at all. As if the two of them were very familiar, he asked:
"What's the matter, Xiao Xiao! Did you run into any difficulties? Look at your face, which is longer than a donkey's face, it's really ugly. If you have something, you can open your mouth, although I can't help you with anything, but it's happy to say it. You say, don't you? ”
The corners of Xiao Hongyu's eyes twitched, and anger rose up.
This bastard, it's just shameless. He is older than him, and he even licks his face and calls himself Xiao Xiao? Is this bastard's brain in water? So big and not small? What else is there to tell him, nothing can help you talk to you? Are you idle?
And most importantly, this bastard even attacks him personally? How did your face become a donkey's face? Bastard, bastard, this kid is looking for death, isn't he?
Xiao Hongyu's eyes were about to burst into flames, and his already depressed mood was even more depressed at the moment.
If it weren't for the supply point not allowing casual action, Xiao Hongyu would slap Li Xiaomo, the bastard, to death with a slap at the moment.
This grandson is really annoying to speak.
For Xiao Hongyu's angry gaze, Li Xiaomo didn't seem to see it at all. slapped Xiao Hongyu's shoulder vigorously, and the strength became more and more powerful, giving Xiao Hongyu a shaky pat.
I couldn't stand it anymore, Xiao Hongyu slapped Li Xiaomo's palm.
Li Xiaomo grinned, and was about to speak again, when the door behind Xiao Hongyu suddenly opened,
