Chapter 59 - The Black Market for Tomb Robbers
After the president and his party set off for the desert, Chu Bai has been patiently and secretly observing Sha Xiao's every move in the guild, and the scene that seems to be the erosion of demonic energy that happened in the trial cave on Lingjian Mountain has been haunting Chu Bai's heart, although he has purified Sha Xiao Liang from head to toe, but he still hasn't let go of his heart.
After secretly observing the sand boy who was locked in the dark room by the chairman for three days, he still didn't find anything, so he released the sand boy from the dark room at noon on the third day, reunited her with her family for an afternoon, and had a long talk with her alone after they separated. And Sha Xiaoliang seems to have realized his mistake, and his attitude has become a lot more modest and kind.
The next day, Chu Bai got up early, and when he was flipping through the guild's task book, trying to find a suitable task to take Sha Xiaoliang to do the ultimate trial, he received a spiritual letter from Chi Muyan, which said that the two surnamed Hong had a dispute with a group of sand thieves due to a misunderstanding, and were besieged in the warehouse behind the tomb robbers' black market, and asked him to take Sha Xiaoliang to support quickly, and by the way, he also gave her the last personal ultimate trial.
After reading Lingxin, Chu Bai couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Chi Muyan's time calculation is really accurate, no wonder he would suddenly propose to go to the desert for trial!
Although Chu Bai didn't guess what he was having, he also knew that Chi Muyan's actions must have a deep meaning, so he hurriedly called out to Sand Xiaoliang and rushed to the tomb robber black market with her.
Since the location of the tomb robber's black market is just below Shenzhou Island, Chu Bai and Sha Xiao obediently rode Feitian and quickly rushed over, Chu Bai first let Feitian hover over the tomb robber's black market for a few weeks to check the specific situation, and found that there was indeed a group of sand thieves who were holding muskets and blocking the entrance of a cave, and there were always sand thieves watching every move in the cave.
Large firebirds and vultures often fly over the black market of tomb robbers, and some have built nests on nearby cliffs, so when Hatsubai's flying sky hovers here, although it casts a shadow, it is not noticed by the sand thieves, and Hatsubai takes advantage of the fact that the sand thieves below have not noticed the strange appearance of the shadow, and let Feitian land on the cliff near the warehouse.
After the flying sky fell, in order to avoid being discovered by the sand thieves below, Chu Bai quickly took it back into the spirit summoning stone, and then watched from behind the rock wall with the sand boy for a while, and whispered: "This is the first mission you and I have carried out, and it is also your first actual combat mission, and the last ultimate trial of the individual." Now that two of our companions have been framed by the Dark Guild and have had a misunderstanding with these sand thieves, and have been blocked in the warehouse below by the sand thieves, what do you think we should do next?"
Sand Xiaoliang thought for a while, "I should explain the misunderstanding clearly, why don't the people inside use spells to control these sand thieves first, and then explain it to them?"
Hatsubai pointed to the cave below, "Because the two people inside are not proficient in spells, they are likely to be attacked by sand thieves without knowing what the situation is, so they were blocked in the panic, and if you look at the distance from here to those sand thieves, you will know that they are not within the attack range of spells at all." ”
Sand Xiaoliang glanced down and found that it was indeed too far away, so he asked in a low voice, "Then let's dive down first, inquire about some relevant information, and then find a way to control these sand thieves?"
Hatsuhahiro nodded, turned around and beckoned to Sha Xiao to follow, and the two of them jumped down the staircase-like cliff together, bypassing the mountain rocks that surrounded the tomb robbers' black market, and walked in through the front entrance.
As soon as he walked into the entrance of the black market, he heard two guys from the adjacent shop talking about these sand thieves, and after listening carefully, he glanced at the sand boy, and the two walked to a tea stall next to him and sat down, listening to the conversation between the two in detail.
"Say, why are these sand thieves still squatting here, who is in this warehouse who has offended them?"
"Didn't you see what these sand thieves were wearing? This is obviously the sand kite of the flood kite, and they must not be a good person who is being targeted. ”
"That's not necessarily, you didn't look at the person who held the sand kite token yesterday, and you know that he must not be a good person when he looks at his appearance, maybe this sand kite today is no longer the sand kite of the past. ”
"Looks, that person was wearing a mask yesterday, were you scared and confused?"
"Scared, I'm obviously tired and confused, okay, I blamed them for squatting here all night last night, and our boss also asked me to guard his goods at the door day and night, you see my dark circles are out......"
Between the conversation between the two guys, Chu Bai took out two hooded cloaks, handed one of them to Sha Xiaoyan, the two of them pretended to be a past business traveler drinking tea and resting at the tea stall, while listening carefully to the conversation between the two guys, after listening for a while, seeing that their topic had turned elsewhere, Chu Bai and Sha Xiaoliang exchanged glances, got up and put on the cloak and pulled the hood, ready to walk towards the warehouse deeper in the black market, but was suddenly stopped by the guy at the tea stall.
"Two bosses, you can't go over there, there were two bosses drinking tea at my place yesterday, but somehow, suddenly rushed in a group of sand thieves and a masked man, raised their guns and beat them, don't you still block people in the warehouse behind you, don't you go over and provoke them again." ”
Chu Bai first chuckled at the guy, and at the same time took out the vice president token of the War Dragon's Fang, quietly covered it from behind with a cloak, lit up in front of the guy, and made a silent gesture to him, whispering in his ear: "Thank you little brother for reminding us, but we are the people of the war dragon, and we came to deal with this matter, and I ask the little brother to keep quiet." ”
When the guy saw the token, his eyes widened and he opened his mouth to shout, but he was choked back by the movements and whispers of the first white, and quickly covered his mouth with his hand and nodded again and again.
After Chu Bai and Sha Xiaoliang nodded to the guy again, they walked in the direction of the warehouse, and the guy stood in place for a long time before finally whispering: "Obedient!
Chu Bai took the sand boy to the vicinity of the warehouse, and when he was already within the range of the restraint technique, Chu Bai made a few gestures first, asking the sand boy to stay behind the nearby rock wall and hide, waiting for the opportunity to act, and he went over to attract the attention of the sand thieves, after the sand boy nodded, he found a protruding rock wall to hide behind and continued to look around, while Chu Bai pulled his hood and continued to walk towards the sand thieves who were squatting at the entrance of the warehouse.
When Hatsubai got closer, the sand thieves who were in charge of guarding on the side also spotted him, so he gestured to the other sand thieves, telling them that someone was approaching behind them, and the sand thieves behind immediately got up and shouted at Hatsubai with their guns raised: "Hey, the merchant over there, don't get any closer! Otherwise, we won't hurt you, and we won't be responsible." ”
Chu Bai hurriedly raised his hands, still holding the white phoenix feather folding fan in his right hand, "Uncles, I just want to pick up some goods from the warehouse behind, and I don't have any weapons on me, so please let me go." ”
Chu Bai smiled and spoke, while continuing to approach the group of sand thieves, although the sand thieves looked at Chu Bai did not have a weapon on his body, and did not know that the folding fan in his hand was secret, but with many years of experience in identifying people as a sand thief, he saw the clue from his calm attitude, and threatened with a gun: "Didn't we hear that we said that you were not allowed to get close? Believe it or not, if you take another step forward, Lao Tzu will immediately shoot you!"
Chu Bai still stood still with a light smile, his right hand suddenly shook, and he unfolded the folding fan, and then horizontally, and a strong wind suddenly rose out of thin air, raising the fine sand on the ground, fascinating the eyes of the sand thieves.
The sand thieves panicked for a while, and shot in the direction of their memory, and countless iron bullets suddenly attacked Chu Bai, but he easily blocked them with a folding fan, at this time, the sand thief also jumped out from behind the rock wall where he was hiding, and raised his staff, and a little green light immediately appeared under the feet of the sand thieves, and those light points gradually expanded and extended, and then countless green vines grew from this piece of green light, entangled the hands and feet of the sand thieves, and fixed them all in place.
Before the sand thieves could understand what was going on, they were all captured, and shouted unwillingly, "Who are you? What are you doing with our traitors? Why do you suddenly stop us?"
Chu Bai took out his token and lit up in front of the sand thieves, "Whether the two people inside are traitors or not, when your boss comes in the afternoon, he will naturally explain it to you." ”
The sand thieves listened to Chu Bai's words and their faces froze, and after a moment of silence, there was a chaotic discussion.
"Boss, didn't the masked man say that our boss had been killed by these two men?"
"Boss is still alive, so the masked man is lying to us!"
"I knew our boss wouldn't die so easily!"
"But why is the boss's token in his hand?"
"He must have scammed it from the boss, or stolen it at all!"
Chu Bai looked at the group of sand thieves who were tied up by five flowers and had the leisure to discuss here, and shook his head helplessly, and waved his hand to the sand boy behind him, signaling to let them go.
The sand thieves were still excitedly discussing their boss, and they had completely ignored other things, Chu Bai glanced in the direction of the warehouse again, and found that the two surnamed Hong inside still did not move, so they bypassed these sand thieves with some worry and walked towards the warehouse.
After Chu Bai walked into the warehouse, he found that it was pitch black inside, so Chu Bai put away the phoenix feather folding fan in his hand, and tapped it lightly in the palm of his left hand, and the folding fan immediately emitted a gentle white light, illuminating the road ahead for Chu Bai.
Chu Bai took the glowing folding fan all the way slowly, and found that in this rock cave, many small rooms have been artificially separated, and many large locks are hung on the thick iron door, and the words 'owned by the Zhang family, dedicated to the Wang family' are written on the door.
This rock cave is not too deep, and it stretches straight, and when Hatsubai is nearly halfway there, he has already seen the end of the cave, but suddenly he finds that there is a motionless black shadow on the right side of the end of the cave.
At first, Chu Bai thought that the two surnamed Hong were hit by the muskets of the sand thieves, and they were seriously injured and fell there, but they hurriedly rushed to the front in three steps and two steps, and under the light of the folding fan in their hands, they suddenly realized that their worries were completely floating clouds in the sky.
I saw that at the end of the warehouse, the two living treasures surnamed Hong were leaning together and falling asleep, Chu Bai didn't know what to say, so he simply kicked each of them without saying a word, kicking them awake.
The two living treasures rubbed their sleepy eyes and looked up at the helpless Chu Bai, and asked, "Huh, why are you here?"
Chu Bai sighed, turned around and walked out of the warehouse, and replied in a mocking tone: "This morning he sent a spiritual message asking me to come to support you quickly, but I didn't expect it to disturb your dreams, why don't you sleep in it for a while, and when they come in the afternoon, you will come out again?"
The two living treasures were stunned at the same time, and blurted out a question, "They?"
Chu Bai looked back and smiled, "Have you forgotten? The protagonist of the new era has already gone down the mountain, I only brought one here, and there are four more on Chi Muyan's side!"
