Chapter 6: The Wicked
Almost dozens of miles away, Ye Xin threw away the carriage, untied a horse's leash, turned over on the horse, changed directions, and galloped away.
It was difficult to find a place to rest in this vast wetland, but Ye Xin had been wandering around for two years and was very familiar with the terrain, and after more than an hour, a fallen giant tree appeared in front of him.
The trunk of the giant tree is more than two meters high, and the center of the trunk has been hollowed out by someone for unknown reasons, forming a tree hole, Ye Xin looked left and right, and led the horse slowly into it.
Tie the reins to a treetum at the entrance of the hole, and then continue to walk inside, the inside of the hole seems to be very warm, the wind and rain are blocked from the outside, and the hole has ventilation holes, not only ventilation, but also lighting, and more importantly, you can observe the outside situation from the hole.
Ye Xin sat down, and then breathed a long sigh of relief, and released the Soul Sealing Thorn in Tianyuan City one after another, which had already consumed his Yuan Power, and before the Yuan Force recovered, he didn't dare to go too deep into the wetland, the fierce beasts here were as terrifying as the pursuers who might appear.
Ye Xin began to adjust his breathing, I don't know how long it took, he suddenly opened his eyes, first listened to the movement outside, and then looked out through the ventilation hole.
Seven or eight hundred meters away, four figures appeared, the first of which was a burly man, followed by a young man and a middle-aged man, and finally a short man.
Ye Xin's eyes were like knives, and he used the fastest speed to summarize the information he could find and make a judgment.
The strong man who walked in the front was dressed in tatters, but in some key places of the body, he was protected, with an iron ring around his neck, and the big boots on his feet were made of the bear skin of the stone bear, which could effectively prevent the attack of snakes and scorpions.
The strong man should be a hunter in Tianyuan City, very experienced, knows how to survive, and only wears an ordinary leather jacket in front of him, because he has the ability to protect himself in a head-on conflict, and also understands that the fierce beasts standing in front are not terrible, and the real horror is all kinds of lurkers.
The expressions of the people behind were a little depressed, the little man at the back seemed to be injured, and there were traces of blood on his body, judging from their outfits, they must be outsiders, and they had just arrived, and they didn't understand the horrors of wetlands and ancient forests, and they actually tiptoed when they walked in the swamp, hoping that they would be less stained with muddy water, so they liked to be clean, and they should have been pampered before, and the strong man walked very casually, because he knew that he had to retain his physical strength as much as possible in the wetland, and had coped with the dangers that might arise at any time.
There is no horse to travel, some incomprehensible.
In fact, many samurai infuse their legs with Yuan Li and run much faster than horses, but they can't last long, and they will consume Yuan Li a lot, so horses are a necessity here.
The next moment, Ye Xin found a resentment in the eyes of the strong man, but he didn't dare to attack and tried his best to endure it.
Ye Xin understood, the strong man may have been hired as a guide, they encountered danger, and the strong man should have warned in advance, and the people behind were proud of their high skills and didn't care, but they suffered a big loss, and in order to save their lives, they had to abandon their horses and run away on foot.
Then, they are not chasers, Ye Xin breathed a sigh of relief, if Fei Qi returned to Tianyuan City in advance, the chasing soldiers he sent would definitely be elite warriors born and raised in Tianyuan City.
In his previous life, he relied on his strong observation ability to become a first-class negotiator, which was also his biggest capital for survival in the past few years, if he only relied on strength, he would have died hundreds of times.
In a moment, the four people outside walked into the tree hole one after another, and the strong man walking in front saw Ye Xin's back at a glance, his body suddenly tensed, his breathing stopped, and his hands tightly grasped the handle of the battle axe.
Although his back was to the entrance of the cave, Ye Xin could also feel the nervousness of the strong man, he knew that the other party must recognize the black robe, after all, most of the warriors would only experience in the wetlands and the periphery of the ancient forest, and this place was close to the most dangerous area of the wetland, and there were only a handful of warriors who dared to break here, and the characteristics of the black robe were very obvious, and it was not difficult for the other party to guess.
However, the other three people who followed were very casual, they successively crossed the strong man, walked towards the cleanest inside of the tree hole, saw Ye Xin's back, and the young man in red leather armor shouted: "Boy, we use this place, you go outside." ”
The strong man let out a faint almost **-like gasping sound, and his hands turned vigorously on the handle of the axe.
Ye Xin stood up, turned around slowly, and saw all the changes in the four people with his eyes hidden in the dark, in great detail.
Maybe it was because Ye Xin's hands were stained with too much blood, and the murderous aura was too heavy, although he didn't refute it out loud, but several people on the opposite side more or less felt the danger, the young man in red leather armor reached out and touched his sword hilt, the middle-aged man's eyes exuded a fine light, and the little man at the back raised his hand unobtrusively, and there was an iron pipe hidden under his wrist, and the mouth of the iron pipe was aimed at Ye Xin.
Ye Xin walked out slowly, although he was not afraid, but this kind of trivial matter was not worth the risk for him to do it.
As Ye Xin walked past them, a purple mink suddenly poked its head out from behind the shoulders of the young man in red soft armor and screamed at Ye Xin.
Ye Xin was nothing, but the young man was taken aback, and immediately shouted in a low voice: "Shut up!"
The purple mink closed its mouth very obediently, and Ye Xin walked straight over, walked to his horse, and sat down slowly.
Seeing that Ye Xin was really convinced, those people looked at each other, and then they all showed a slightly self-deprecating smile, because they seemed too nervous about their performance just now.
The strong man sat down with his back against the cave wall, his eyes staring at his giant axe without blinking, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and the other three people talked and laughed in low voices.
For a moment, the young man glanced in Ye Xin's direction, then approached his companion and lowered his voice to the lowest: "That kid has a finished Yuan Crystal on him!"
"How do you know?" the middle-aged man couldn't help but be moved, and asked urgently.
"I'm a sable who is good at discerning treasures, and I can't be wrong!" replied the young man.
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and beckoned to the strong man, "Big man, come here!"
"What's the matter?" the stout man frowned.
"I'll come here if I tell you to come!" the middle-aged man was a little displeased.
The strong man stood up helplessly and walked over with his giant axe.
"Big one, that kid has a finished Yuan Jing on him, you go over to discuss with him and ask him to sell the finished Yuan Jing to us. The middle-aged man said in a low voice.
"I'm only responsible for showing you the way, and it's not my business. The strong man flatly refused.
"What the hell are you......" The young man couldn't help it, and he was furious.
The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and stopped the young man's impulsiveness, he glanced at the strong man deeply, and then got up and walked towards Ye Xin, while the young man and the little man exchanged glances, and also stood up, separated left and right, ready to respond at any time.
The middle-aged man walked up to Ye Xin, was silent for a moment, smiled, and then slowly squatted down and looked directly at Ye Xin.
"Brother, tell you something. The middle-aged man said to himself.
When he saw Ye Xin for the first time, his instinct seemed to have a premonition that something bad would happen, so he was a little nervous, and when Ye Xin was convinced, he obediently gave way to the place, so that he understood that it was just an illusion just now, and now he was full of confidence.
"What?" Ye Xin's tone was a little stiff.
"You have a finished Yuan Jing on you, so sell it to us. The middle-aged man said: "I won't tell you, we are the people of the Chen family in Zhengzhou City, this time the luck is not good, something happened, I'm afraid I can't explain it when I go back, if my brother can sell us the finished Yuanjing, it can be regarded as a great help to us, and if I have the opportunity to come to Zhengzhou City in the future, I can go to the Chen family to find me, and I Chen Tianhao will have a lot of thanks." ”
Ye Xin almost couldn't believe his ears, and he couldn't figure out where the other party's confidence came from.
There are not many top mercenaries in Tianyuan City, and their way of acting is somewhat similar to that of fierce beasts, people don't offend me, I don't offend people, and they can't easily clash with each other.
The same goes for those terrifying large beasts, they carve out their territory in ancient forests and wetlands, for no necessary reason, they will not go out casually, if other life breaks in, they will not rashly show their horror, but first use their roar to intimidate their opponents, forcing them to withdraw voluntarily.
Samurai who truly understand combat will use it as a last resort.
Victory always comes at a cost, and trauma often means death.
Ye Xin didn't know what to say for a while, the atmosphere became very quiet, the young man and the little man were staring at Ye Xin, and the strong man's cheeks twitched violently twice, maybe only he knew what kind of danger he was going to face.
"That's what you're talking about?" Ye Xin took out a wooden box from his waist and slowly opened it, containing irregular oval crystals, each of which contained a ball of light that slowly swam, as if it were a living life.
"That's right. The middle-aged man's eyes lit up.
"What price do you offer?" Ye Xin dumped Yuan Jing on the dirt, and by this time, he was still trying to treat the other party as a rational warrior, looking for him to make a fair deal.
"A finished Yuan Crystal is one hundred gold coins. The middle-aged man said.
"Heh......" Ye Xin was amused, the purchase price of the finished Yuan Jing in Tianyuan City fluctuated between 1,000 gold coins and 10,000 gold coins, and the price given by the other party was too ridiculous, and it was simply to grab it.
"Brother, we are now good at talking and discussing, don't be embarrassed. The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
"Have you ever been to Tianyuan City before?" Ye Xin said.
"Nope. The middle-aged man said, "What?"
"That's right. Ye Xin said: "Take Yuanjing and give it to you." ”
