Chapter 184: In exchange for information
"You're a fool!" Hearing the number of one million, Chen Xiao was really taken aback. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]
"Your question involves a huge cause and effect, and a million fragments are not expensive."
Looking at the reaction of the mysterious businessman, Chen Xiao immediately understood that the so-called one million fragments were just something that this guy didn't want to say.
"In that case, please let me go." Chen Xiao shrugged and asked to leave.
"Wait, I have another piece of information here, I believe you will be interested, and this information, I plan to collect only five fragments from you." The mysterious merchant said.
"Oh, what kind of intelligence." After Chen Xiao paused for a moment, he weighed it in his heart and asked.
"This information may be able to save your life, exchange five fragments for a life, and you have already made a lot of money." The mysterious merchant spoke.
"Why should I believe you?" Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment and said.
"First of all, I don't want you to die, and secondly, you are my customer, I am an honest businessman, not a black businessman, and I will not trade with you only once. With your current strength, you can obtain breath shards, and I believe that your shards will be easier to obtain in the future, so I would like to maintain a long-term relationship with you. The Mystery Merchant explained.
Chen Xiao's mind was racing, and after considering the pros and cons, he nodded and said, "Deal." ”
As he spoke, five breath fragments appeared in his hand at the same time and were placed on the counter, and when the mysterious merchant saw the five fragments, his eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly put away the fragments and said: "You will definitely not suffer, the information I want to tell you is that I am a black businessman, so you were deceived by me." ”
Chen Xiao suddenly had a sudden bruise, and was about to have a seizure, but he heard the mysterious merchant laugh and then said: "I'm joking, but what I'm going to say next is not joking with you." ”
Chen Xiao's chest rose and fell violently, and he took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and waited for the mysterious merchant's next step.
The mysterious merchant said in a stern tone, "I foresee the future. Starting in a month, the city you are in will become a Shura purgatory, and no one will be able to survive here. And this is only the beginning of a much larger crisis. ”
Chen Xiao's brows furrowed, although the mysterious merchant said it in general terms, he found that he didn't have any suspicions at all.
"What is the source of the crisis?" Chen Xiao asked.
"Five fragments of information, I've already spoken. I can't tell you anything else. The mysterious merchant shook his head, didn't give Chen Xiao any chance, and said goodbye directly: "I hope there will be a time to meet again." ”
Hearing the last words of the mysterious merchant's words, the shop and the mysterious merchant in front of him disappeared directly from front of him in an instant, as if they had never appeared.
And he was still standing where he had killed the black boar before, and Xiao Ru and Xiao Ai next to him, as if nothing had happened, stood quietly aside.
None of this was an illusion, and the mysterious merchant disappeared from his face so abruptly, without the slightest warning.
Now. Chen Xiao was thinking about the information given to him by the mysterious businessman, and in a month's crisis, Ludao would completely fall and become purgatory?
If there is a thousand-year-old dryad and a phantom spider, this is not an exaggeration at all, but it is worth noting the last sentence in the mysterious merchant's intelligence.
The beginning of a greater disaster made Chen Xiao feel chills in his heart.
Could it be that this is a conscription that nuclear weapons will not be able to kill phantom spiders?
Chen Xiao couldn't help but think in his heart that there were less than eighteen hours left before the military dropped nuclear weapons. Tomorrow after noon, the answer will be known.
With doubts, Chen Xiao returned to the villa on the top of the mountain.
By this time, it was approaching evening. However, Chen Xiao was not in the mood to prepare dinner.
When I returned to the top of the mountain, I began to have a fierce sparring with the two little Lori.
Since he met the mysterious businessman, he has a lot of questions in his mind, and the urgent desire to improve his strength is growing crazy in his heart.
At the moment, he didn't want to waste any time. The strength is growing step by step, bringing not a sense of security, but a greater crisis again and again.
The strength of mutant creatures has grown beyond that of the Awakened, and if you don't catch up quickly, let alone the future, seeing the sun tomorrow will become a luxury.
The evening sparring was very intense, and the top of the mountain was also the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire, and the elevation of the mountain peak was being reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The highly concentrated sparring soon exhausted them, but soon the three of them began to fight together again.
The wall of fire, the ice dragon, and the sword power kept alternating on the top of the mountain, and the blood dripping from the ground was soon swept away along with the earth and stones on the top of the mountain.
was injured, all three of them were injured, and Chen Xiao had several more wounds on his body, each of which was gushing blood.
Xiao Ai's magic shield was shattered several times by Chen Xiao's assassination swordsmanship, and Xiao Ru also had a few more blood marks on her body.
Under Chen Xiao's forced orders again and again, the three of them began to kill each other, and every attack was performed with all their might.
If someone who doesn't know them sees it, they will definitely think that these three people have some life-and-death feud.
Outsiders would never have imagined that the relationship between the three of them, because of such a battle, has been somewhat detached from the nature of sparring and has become a real battle, a battle in which no one has left their hands.
This battle lasted until the bright moon hung overhead, for a full six hours, the three of them only rested less than two disappeared, and the remaining four hours were spent in battle.
Again, all three of them fell to the ground exhausted, next to a high wall of earth and stone, and the top of the hill next to the villa, the height of the peak dropped by three or four meters.
High temperature and ice let. Bare. The exposed rocks became brittle, a result of Ai's release of the wall of fire and the roar of ice.
Chen Xiao and Xiaoru were the real culprits who caused the height of the mountain to drop, and the strong knife force crisscrossed the mountain top for several hours, cutting off a large amount of soil and rock.
The three of them stopped again, and after finally recovering a little strength, they supported each other back to the door of the villa.
The valve of the faucet was opened to the maximum, and a huge stream of water washed the mud and exhaustion on the three of them.
When he returned to the villa to change his clothes and came out again, Chen Xiao only had one feeling, that is, cool.
The feeling of almost prostration all over my body has been replaced by full strength.
Chen Xiao found that he had fallen in love with this kind of battle that completely put life and death aside, and his whole body and mind were completely let go.
Although there was still a short distance from skill upgrades after hours of fighting, Chen Xiao no longer put skill level in the first place to improve.
In such a battle, it is not only the level of skill that is improved, but also the sense of battle.
A real strong man does not emerge from the training ground, but comes out alive from the battlefield.
At this moment, Chen Xiao recognized this sentence very much, and after a day of fighting, he already had a feeling of being reborn.
Even he already felt that his fighting style was progressing towards his own state of learning skills.
This is the most worthy of celebration, because skills will improve sooner or later, but the progress of combat awareness is very valuable.
The day's training plan was completed, the black boar was successfully killed, and the bonfire barbecue that was a reward for the day's hard work was lit on the top of the mountain.
"Your strength is so strong, do you still need to work so hard?" Yao Rui, who didn't know where he came back, walked to Chen Xiao's side and spoke.
Glancing at the slightly indifferent man beside him, the bloody qi had not yet dissipated from him, obviously he had just returned from the killing.
"The world we live in is getting worse every day, I just don't want to be eliminated, haven't you always stopped improving your strength?" Chen Xiao said.
"Yes, seeing that your strength is getting stronger and stronger, I naturally can't stop." Yao Ruidao.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're a military man, or an Air Force officer." Chen Xiao said.
Yao Rui nodded and said, "That's right, I used to be a soldier. ”
"Now the army has 100% recruited all retired soldiers except for the disabled, why didn't you report it, and the officer ID I saw at the beginning is not what a retired soldier should have." Chen Xiao said.
"I don't want to go back." Yao Rui replied and fell silent.
"Do you have any plans?" Chen Xiao asked.
Yao Rui nodded, and after staring at Chen Xiao for a moment, he said with an extremely serious face: "I will continue to be strong, find the murderer of my wife, and kill him." ”
When Chen Xiao heard this, he didn't know what to say, and after being silent for a long time, he enlightened: "You have been surrounded by hatred, which will make you lost, sometimes letting go is the right way." ”
"It's my business, you know who my wife's killer is, do you?" Yao Rui asked persistently.
"Yes, I do, but I won't tell you, and you don't want to know the truth from me." Chen Xiao nodded, he didn't intend to deceive him.
"Why, why don't you tell me, do you know that person, or is that person you?" Hearing Chen Xiao's refusal again, Yao Rui's face showed a look of struggle, and he soon yelled at Chen Xiao frantically.
Chen Xiao ignored the excited Yao Rui, but shook his head and said, "I have a certain responsibility for your wife's death, but the murderer is not us, so I saved you again, I hope I can compensate you." ”
"Then how can you tell me who the murderer is?" Yao Rui's spirit was a little manic, and his reason had been thrown aside.
"I'll tell you when you can beat me." Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment and said.
"That's what you said, and one day I'll beat you."
Yao Rui put down this sentence, and left this place without waiting for Chen Xiao to say anything.
Maybe he waited until now to leave, just for Chen Xiao's words. (To be continued.) )
