Lin Xiao heard Zhao Yueru talk about the situation of the underworld forces on the Lost Island, but the specifics were not clear, and asked, "What kind of tax do they collect?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Lin Xiao suspiciously, "Little brother, you're new here." ”

"Yes. ”

"No wonder it's not clear, Li Tian will collect a business tax, that is to say, as long as you set up a stall here for a day, you have to pay a day's tax, regardless of whether you have income or not, as for how much, it is up to them to decide, in addition, if you want to set up a stall here, you must also pay them the stall fee, these days, all of them have been looted by themselves, it is simply eating people without spitting out bones. ”

"Doesn't the Law Enforcement Hall care?"

"Law Enforcement Palace?" The middle-aged man sneered twice: "It's just a raccoon dog, the Law Enforcement Palace has to be managed, and it won't be the turn of so many underworld forces." ”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man glanced at Lin Xiao: "You won't have been here for a long time, right?"

"More than half a month. ”

"No wonder. The middle-aged man shook his head: "You wait, they will find you soon, in addition to the annual management fee of the Law Enforcement Palace, the people on the Lost Island will also collect taxes from the underworld forces in various districts, like you are in the middle of the Guiyuan Realm, you have to pay five high-grade Yuan stones a month, as for you are new, I am afraid that they will raid you fiercely for the first time." ”

"Isn't there anyone who resists?"

"Resist? Do you know the strength of the Li Tianhui? Our No. 3 Island is divided into ten districts, and the black force in our district is the Li Tianhui, and the one who rules the Li Tianhui is a half-step king named Li Wang, and there have been people who have tried to resist the Li Tianhui, but the next day the corpse was hung on the city wall and dried for three days and three nights, as for the number of people who were disabled and scrapped, I don't know how many, such a thing is too common on the Lost Island. ”

The middle-aged man admonished: "You have just arrived, I believe they will not let go of your fat sheep, give you a piece of advice, don't fight against the Li Tianhui here, you can occupy a district of Island Three, who knows what Li Tianhui has to do with the Law Enforcement Hall secretly, offend them, and in the end it is only you who suffers." ”

"Lao Luo, you said too much. Someone on the side reminded him, looking at Lin Xiao's eyes a little guarded.

Unspeakable, the middle-aged man was startled and closed his mouth.

"Thank you for the reminder. Lin Xiao hugged his fists and walked back, he couldn't help sneering in his heart, the Lost Island is really a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, in addition to paying Yuan Shi to the Law Enforcement Hall every year, the surrounding underworld forces also have to come to collect taxes once a month, and by boat, going to other islands and entering the central island need to pay an entrance fee, maybe it is a drop in the bucket for him, but for those who have survived on the Lost Island for a long time, it is full of pressure.

As the middle-aged man said, Lin Xiao didn't believe that the Law Enforcement Hall would not know how much tax these black forces had collected, and he thought that most of the Yuan Shi collected would have to be handed over to the Law Enforcement Palace, and these black forces would drink some soup at most.

Back at his mansion, Lin Xiao continued his retreat.

Three days later, Lin Xiao was recuperating in his room, when there was a sudden commotion outside the mansion, and at the same time, there was a rapid knock on the door.

"Lin Xiao, open the door quickly. Zhao Yueru's hurried voice came.

"What's the matter?" Lin Xiao opened the door.

"The people of the Li Tianhui have come to collect taxes, and the Li Tianhui is the underworld force in our district, you should be careful. Zhao Yueru had a hint of nervousness and worry in her eyes.

"Li Tianhui?" Lin Xiao nodded.

In the open space outside the mansion, a large group of people gathered there, and in front of the crowd was the last time Lin Xiao saw a thin middle-aged man with a scar on his face.

"Yueru, I haven't seen you for a month, you're getting more and more beautiful. Seeing Zhao Yueru, the corner of the leading thin middle-aged man's mouth showed a lewd smile: "I miss you very much these days." ”

Zhao Yueru's face changed, and she handed over a bag: "This is the yuan stone we handed in this month, you guys will leave immediately." ”

"Don't worry. The thin middle-aged man smiled evilly.

"Wang Yi, what else do you want, dare to move our eldest sister to try. "A lot of people in the crowd were excited.

"Rest assured. The thin middle-aged man glanced at everyone and sneered: "I heard that you have a newcomer named Lin Xiao here, which one is it? ”

"It's me. Lin Xiao walked out expressionlessly.

"Is it you kid?" The thin middle-aged man looked at Lin Xiao twice, his eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake: "You should know the rules." ”

"I've already put his five top-grade Yuan Stones in my bag. Zhao Yueru said.

"Yueru, don't pretend to be garlic with me. The thin middle-aged man glared at her coldly, and then looked at Lin Xiao: "Boy, since it is the first time for you to join our Lost Island, you need to hand over a thousand high-grade yuan stones this month, take them out obediently." ”

"So much. Everyone gasped.

"Wang Yi, this is too much. Zhao Yueru frowned.

"Duo, hehe, Yueru, what do you have to do with him? If you agree to my request, I can consider exempting him from taxes this time. The thin middle-aged man's eyes were like poisonous snakes, extremely cold, and he looked at Lin Xiao and Zhao Yueru carefully.

"A thousand high-grade yuan stones, give. "Without waiting for Zhao Yueru to speak, Lin Xiao had already taken out a thousand high-grade yuan stones, such a person is a mad dog, and he will bite you no matter what.

"Hehe, are you very sensible, they all say that outsiders are very rich, and what they say is true. The thin middle-aged man stared at Lin Xiao with a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Lin Xiao, be careful, that Wang Yi is not a thing. After the other party left, Zhao Yueru reminded worriedly.

"I know what to do. ”

Lin Xiao sneered, Wang Yi is just a small role, he doesn't care about it yet, the most important thing for him now is to restore his strength to the peak, he doesn't want to cause any trouble for the time being, and when his strength recovers, how much the other party eats, he will spit it out ten or hundreds of times.

In the following days, Lin Xiao cultivated every day, and the spatial power in his body was refined and eliminated little by little, and his strength gradually recovered to its peak.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

In the past month, Lin Xiao has learned more and more about the Lost Island, and he has gradually had some plans and ideas in his heart.

On this day, Li Tianhui was thin and middle-aged, and he brought people to the place where Lin Xiao and them lived.

"This is the Yuanshi of this month. Zhao Yueru handed over the Yuan Shi.

The thin middle-aged man put away the Yuan Shi with a smile and said, "Yueru, have you thought about the matter between us?"

"Don't even think about it. Zhao Yueru snorted coldly.

The thin middle-aged man's face sank: "Yes, my Wang Yi is also an elder of the Li Tianhui, marry me, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking spicy food in the future, think about it, how many people can treat you like me." ”

The thin middle-aged man touched Zhao Yueru's face.

"Slap" Zhao Yueru opened Wang Yi's hand, stepped back and progressed, looking vigilant.

"Wang Yi, what do you want. The crowd that followed Zhao Yueru surrounded him.

"What, do you want to rebel?" The thin middle-aged man stared at the big men surrounding him, sneered again and again, and then looked at Zhao Yueru coldly: "You dare to do it to me?" Zhao Yueru, let me tell you, my Wang Yi's patience is limited, give you the last month deadline, you think about it carefully, think about it, how your father was abolished back then, hum." ”

The thin middle-aged man shook his hand, turned around with his subordinates, and wanted to leave.

"Wait, did I let you go. Suddenly, a cold voice came, flat and indifferent.

"Who is it?" the thin middle-aged group turned their heads and shouted angrily.

A man from the crowd walked out.

"It's Lin Xiao. ”

"Lin Xiao, what do you want?"

Zhao Yueru and the others were taken aback.

"It's you kid, what, do you want to be prestigious? The thin middle-aged man sneered, stopped his steps to leave, and returned: "Based on what you just said, this time you must hand over another thousand high-grade yuan stones, otherwise, you don't want to be safe." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm not here to hand in the high-grade yuan stone, but to ask for the high-grade yuan stone, 10,000 high-grade yuan stones, not one is missing. Lin Xiao said lightly.

"Hahaha, are you kidding?"

"Dare you speak to us like that. ”

"Haha, Lao Tzu has joined the Li Tianhui for so many years, and it's the first time I've heard such words, kid, aren't you crazy, do you know who you're talking to. ”

"10,000 high-grade yuan stones, the export of what he said. ”

A group of people behind the thin middle-aged man surrounded them, laughing one by one, they couldn't believe their ears, Zhao Yueru and the others were also dumbfounded, they didn't know what was wrong with Lin Xiao, and they were anxious in their hearts.

"I'm not kidding, I can't hand over 10,000 high-grade Yuan Stones, so don't even think about walking back today.

After so many days, Lin Xiao had almost touched the situation of the Lost Island, and he already had a plan for his future plans in his heart.

"Stinky boy, look for death. ”

"It seems that I don't know how powerful our Li Tianhui is, give him a lesson丨 and see. ”

Seeing that Lin Xiao was so arrogant, how could the members of the Li Tianhui who had always been domineering stand it, and before the thin middle-aged man could speak, the two subordinates at the peak of the middle stage of the Returning Yuan Realm had already jumped out and joined forces to attack Lin Xiao.

"Be careful. On the side, Zhao Yueru exclaimed in surprise, without hesitation, gritted her teeth, and rushed over.

An unbelievable scene happened to her, in the face of the joint attack of the two, Lin Xiao's body did not move, he didn't need to draw his knife at all, and slashed out with a palm at will.

bang

The attack formed by the two of them shattered, and the powerful palm power directly penetrated through the body.

Poof

Lin Xiao's true yuan was so terrifying, even an ordinary random blow was not something that the two of them could withstand, the two of them flew up at the same time, blood spurted wildly in their mouths, like a kite with a broken string, flew out upside down, smashed two big holes in the ground, and wailed in pain.

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye, and at this time, Zhao Yueru's assistance had not yet arrived.

"It's so strong. ”

"It's amazing. ”

"How could this Lin Xiao be so strong. ”

The surrounding group of people were all dumbfounded, they had lived with Lin Xiao for so long, and it was the first time they found that Lin Xiao's strength was so terrifying, but after the shock, there was boundless panic, Lin Xiao taught him! It was no one else, but a member of the Li Tianhui.
