Sun Licheng thought about it and said, "I choose the valley in the south. ”

The so-called greater the risk, the greater the benefit, Sun Licheng felt that Adolf did not need to pit himself to death now, so he was ready to give it a go. If you want the valley in the north, what is the difference between that place and the forward camp?

Hearing Sun Licheng's agreement, Adolf's face suddenly bloomed, and he patted Sun Licheng on the shoulder: "Yes, young people are courageous." As long as you can restore that mercury mine, the future of the tribe is absolutely limitless. I can't be mistaken. ”

After chatting for a while, Adolf asked Martin to lead Sun Licheng to choose slaves.

Seeing the slaves that the Xingyue Tribe had prepared for him, Sun Licheng was a little surprised, because in addition to the twelve goblins, there was also a goblin, which was too strange.

Martin smiled and said, "There is nothing strange about this, this guy committed a crime, killed someone, and after being caught, the tribe was gracious, and he was not put to death, but reduced to a slave." I looked strong, so I gave him to you. ”

Sun Licheng chuckled in his heart, he didn't know what Martin's so-called kindness meant, but his face was still full of smiles, and he thanked him again and again.

"Looks like I'm going to have to be careful, both goblins and these goblins have to be on guard, who knows which is the eyeliner they've planted in. ”

Sun Licheng laughed with him while secretly reminding himself in his heart.

After selecting the slaves, Sun Licheng used the two bronze utensils he carried with him to exchange some supplies for the Xingyue tribe, and Martin generously gave another part in the name of the tribe, so that each of these slaves carried a rattan basket behind him, which was full of things.

Now that the preparations have been prepared, Sun Licheng took everyone to say goodbye to the Xingyue tribe and set off with the guide.

After Martin sent Sun Licheng, he returned to his father and saw that his father was holding the bronze ware exchanged by Sun Licheng and kept observing.

"Father, Sun Licheng and they are gone. ”

Martin reported.

"Very well, how is Sun Licheng's performance? He didn't express his displeasure because we gave him a goblin slave, did he?"

Adolf put down the bronze and asked softly.

Martin shook his head and said, "I don't see anything, everything is natural for him." However, according to what you said, I didn't mix sand into it, but just said hello to the guide and asked him to send Sun Licheng to the future and monitor them for a while. ”

Adolf leaned back in the bearskin chair, twisted himself to make himself more comfortable, and then said with a smile: "The city is very deep, this guy doesn't look like a young man at all, I don't believe he has no ideas." However, now I don't mix sand into it, not only is it easy to startle snakes, but it is also unnecessary. ”

Adolf saw Martin bring a bowl of water, smiled and took a sip, and continued: "If Sun Licheng succeeds this time, then we will have one more mercury mine channel, and if he fails, or dies, there will be no loss to us." He's really going to build the tribe, and we have a chance to get people in, and now, I really want him to succeed. With one more amount of mercury, I guess Dawu will be happier. ”

Hearing this, Martin suddenly realized.

"But father, I still don't understand why you gave Sun Licheng so many things? I don't think it's necessary. ”

Martin thought of his question and asked.

Adolf smiled and said, "I want to tell Sun Licheng directly, let him go to the southern valley, it is difficult to ensure that he pushes back." Now he is given two options. When a person is faced with one piece of meat and two pieces of meat, it may be difficult to make a choice, but when a person is faced with one piece of meat and ten pieces of meat, he will almost subconsciously make a choice. I increased the bargaining chips in the southern valley, that is, let Sun Licheng choose to go there by himself. A dozen slaves and some food not only made him go to the south willingly, but if he did settle there, he would owe us a great favor. ”

Hearing this, Martin couldn't help but nod.

............

The guide didn't say much, and Sun Licheng's thoughts were also on the valley in the south, and everyone seemed very quiet all the way.

This section of the road was very difficult to walk, and Sun Licheng had to jump off the wolf king and walk with everyone.

The slaves, dressed in rough animal skins and carrying heavy baskets, followed the guides. In this place, danger is everywhere, Sun Licheng is not afraid that they will run away, and the slaves without weapons who enter the jungle alone will definitely die if they give food to those fierce beasts. Although there is little food and heavy work to be done here, at least there is no need to worry about life.

"Patriarch Sun Licheng, beyond that mountain beam is our destination. ”

After two days, the guide pointed to the hill in front of him and said to Sun Licheng.

Sun Licheng nodded, waved his hand, and shouted to the team, "Keep going!" and secretly gave an order to Dog Meat, telling it to return to the advance camp and summon Mr. Skillful and them over.

After walking for another two or three hours, Sun Licheng and the others saw a huge valley mouth appear in front of them.

Before entering the valley, Sun Licheng felt a cold wind blowing in his face, which made him feel excited. When he looked at the slaves around him, he noticed that everyone's faces were not very good.

"It's a little strange that the wind is coming. ”

Sun Licheng said secretly in his heart.

At this time, the wolf king seemed to sense some danger, bared his teeth, and prepared to attack in the valley.

"What's going on?"

Sun Licheng turned his head and asked the guide.

The guide's face changed and he said, "About a year ago, something strange appeared in this valley, quite a few people died, and then the tribes that lived in this place moved away. Until now, people have not dared to enter the valley easily. However, Patriarch Sun Licheng, you are a hero and should be able to get rid of those things. In other words, it used to be prosperous here, and mercury was definitely a good thing, and all tribes needed it. ”

After Sun Licheng heard this, his heart sank, but there was no turning back when he opened the bow, and he chose to go on no matter what.

Outside the valley, he felt a gust of yin wind, and after Sun Licheng entered the valley, he found that it was even more gloomy inside, and there were signs of withering life everywhere.

Not only is there no grass on both sides of the valley, but the original giant trees have become dead wood, which is blown by the wind, like a child crying, making people's hair stand on end.

Looking up, the sky was cloudy, and the afternoon sun stingily sprinkled a little bit of sunlight on the ground, shining in the valley, like a ghost fire.

With a click, Sun Licheng felt that he had stepped on something, and when he looked down, it was a miserable white arm bone. Just when he felt a little awkward in his heart, the slave in front of him screamed and sat on the ground, and in front of him was a dead goblin corpse, which looked very terrifying because it had been eaten by other beasts.

"Patriarch, some say that this place has been cursed and has become a place of death. ”

Sun Licheng walked to the front of the team, frowned and looked at the corpse on the ground, and the guide whispered in his ear.

"Alas, since I came to this world, why have I never encountered a good thing?"

Sun Licheng kept complaining in his heart.
