Chapter 53: New Life
In a cold and damp place near the middle of the Youyun Mountain Range, Ye Ran squatted down and carefully plucked the blood-red plant hidden under the roots of a decaying tree, this is a mushroom-like herb, with an amazing recovery effect, but the growth requirements are extremely demanding, this search took Ye Ran a lot of time, fortunately he did not encounter any danger on the way.
"The third task is done!" Wiping the dirt off his face, Ye Ran looked at the blood-colored mushroom with some excitement, and then put it into the storage talisman.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the distance, and the weak voice of an old man,
"Slow...... Slow down...... My old bones are falling apart. ”
"Slow down, no matter how slow it gets to dark, we won't be able to reach our destination!" said a young man impatiently.
"That's it, uncle, you're going to die anyway, and it's not a big deal to suffer a little sin!" the other man continued.
"Yes...... But......" The old man paused, and after gasping for breath with some difficulty, he continued, "If you do this again, I ...... I'm not going to give you my son's powerful spiritual skills......"
Ye Ran quietly lurked to the side, secretly peeking at the three people standing in the woods.
Two young, imposing men stood, on the back of a burly man, carrying an old man who was about to die, dressed in rough linen clothes, with gray hair and wrinkles piled up on his face, looking a little frightening.
The old man on the young man's back looked like he was about to reach the end of his life, and he was panting hard, and the sound of heavy breathing made people's hearts tremble.
Even if the old man has grown old like this, the young man who carried him on his back had no pity at all, but carried it in a somewhat rough posture, and did not care about the strength of his hand, for him it seemed that as long as he could carry it, the task would be completed, and as for whether the old man could bear it, it didn't matter to him at all.
Hearing the old man's words, the two young men immediately became anxious,
"Uncle, what are you talking about, our two brothers treat you like our own father, and we have sent you thousands of miles away to this dangerous Youyun Mountain Range, and now you are like this to the two of us?"
"That's right, uncle, it's useless for you to keep that spiritual skill anyway, it's better to give it to the two of us, and it can be regarded as an explanation for your dead son, our brother." ”
The old man took a few deep breaths, and then said tremblingly, "I gave you all the wealth of Yun'er, and those riches are enough for you to use in this life, don't you want to help me with this little favor? ”
Ye Ran, who was hidden behind the grass, pondered the Yun'er in the old man's words, which was estimated to be his dead son, that is, the brother of the two young men.
"Help, why don't you help? Uncle, it's all to blame Wan Qing for being too impatient and didn't serve you well, don't worry, I'll let this kid serve you patiently and gently, and definitely satisfy you." A thinner man said immediately.
And Wan Qing, who was carrying the old man on his back, was immediately unhappy when he heard this, he looked at his brother Wan Lan, who was one year older than him, and said dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean by this? What do you mean that I didn't serve well? I don't look at who carried the uncle all the way, when I was in the city before, I asked you to hire a maid with some spirit crystals, and you were reluctant to use this spirit crystal, but now you blame me!"
When Wan Lan heard this, she was immediately displeased, and immediately quarreled with Wan Qing.
Ye Ran, who was hiding behind the grass, glanced at the old man with a painful face, couldn't bear it, and immediately walked out.
The two who were arguing heard someone coming, and immediately stopped arguing, and looked at Ye Ran in unison, with a thick vigilance in their eyes, after all, the people who haunted the Youyun Mountain Range were all characters who licked blood with knives, and few of them were good people.
What's more, Ye Ran is the kind of guy who wears a black robe, wraps himself tightly, and is mysterious, this kind of person is even more worthy of vigilance.
However, when they saw that Ye Ran's cultivation was no more than the ninth layer of the Quenching Body Realm, the strings in their hearts suddenly relaxed, and the guys of the ninth layer of the Quenching Body Realm were simply like ordinary people in the eyes of the two monks of the third layer of the Pulse Expansion Realm, and they had no combat power at all.
"Who are you?" Wan Lan asked with a cold face and an unkind tone, since the other party's cultivation was low, there was no need for him to be polite to the other party.
"Good...... Good. Ye Ran paused and said, and then continued to add, "Businessman." ”
"What kind of bullshit businessman, talk about people, don't give me any tricks, be careful that I kill you!" Wan Qing, who was stimulated by his own brother Wan Lan, had nowhere to get his stomach on fire, and when he saw Ye Ran, who was low in cultivation, came over and said something godly chattering, he suddenly had a place to put out the fire.
"Uh......" Ye Ran pretended to be cowardly and took a step back, and then said with a trembling voice, "I...... I saw that the two sons seemed to be in some trouble, and the younger ones came to ask, and there was absolutely nothing else. ”
"I was originally working in the city, because I was pit by others to the Youyun Mountain Range, resulting in a few spirit crystals, but I was pitted a lot, and now I am penniless, as long as the two sons are willing to give a little spirit crystal, the small can do any work. Ye Ran immediately thought of the wording.
"That's right. Wan Lan looked at Ye Ran, touching her chin and thinking.
And Wan Qing immediately shouted, "I have a job to do, can you take it?"
And Wan Qing saw Wan Lan's thoughtful appearance, and immediately became unhappy, "What's the matter? You are reluctant to give out those spirit crystals? Otherwise, uncle, you will carry it?"
Wan Lan saw the anger on Wan Qing's face, and suddenly panicked in her heart, and then nodded hurriedly, "Yes, you can hire this kid." ”
"Boy, do you want to do the work of carrying people?" Wan Lan pointed to the old man on Wan Qing's back.
"it!" Ye Ran nodded, this was what he was waiting for.
"How many spirit crystals?" Wan Lan looked at Ye Ran and muttered in her heart, if this guy opens his mouth, then I won't hire it, I'd rather be tired.
"One hundred spirit crystals...... Fifty spirit crystals!" Ye Ran saw that Wan Lan looked like a small belly and chicken intestines, and immediately changed his words, this fifty spirit crystals were simply a free help, Ye Ran didn't believe that he didn't accept it.
"Deal!" When Wan Lan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and being able to save the spirit crystal was simply a blessing for him.
"That's good. Seeing that things were somewhat successful, Ye Ran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"By the way, why are you wearing such a big robe?" Wan Qing looked at Ye Ran's strange outfit and immediately asked out loud.
"That'...... That's because I was contaminated with the venom of the purple poison toad in the mountains, and there were some ugly marks on my body, so the little one wrapped his body tightly. Ye Ran rolled his eyes and immediately gave an answer, "Does Childe want to take a look?"
"No, no!" Wan Qing's face changed suddenly, the person who was stained with the venom of the Bipurple Poison Toad, he had also seen that hideous and terrifying appearance, and now he felt palpitations when he thought about it, but fortunately, this poison would not be transmitted to others, and Wan Qing did not let Ye Ran leave because of this.
"Hurry up and carry someone. ”
"Okay, good, the little one is coming. Ye Ran stepped forward quickly.
