Chapter 62: The Secret of the Iron Box
After Chu Ge's side recovered, the dust in the canyon had also settled, and the grass and plants in the entire canyon were covered with a thin layer of dust. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThis place looks like it has been through a great war, and the destruction is unsightly, compared to the previous one, it is heaven and hell.
Seeing this messy and ruined medicine field, Chu Ge began to worry: "If it is like this, all the medicine fields have been destroyed, will you lose money if you don't get paid?"
At this time, Chu Ge suddenly remembered something, and after standing up, he slowly walked towards the rock that he cared about very much.
When he walked to the rock, he saw that inside the cracked rock, there was a tin box that was more than half a man high.
"Strange, how can there be an iron box here?" Chu Ge walked to the middle of the pile of rubble, and felt very curious when he saw this iron box.
He took a closer look and found that the iron box was still very new, as if it had just been cast not long ago, which made him even more puzzled.
At this time, Xu Bo and the others had already started the harvesting operation, but they didn't pay attention to those medicinal herbs at all, but instead harvested the ghost stinging snake corpses in this slowly place.
The ghost snake essences were dissected by them with a knife and placed in a crockpot they had brought.
"These guys really know how to use resources. Seeing their actions, Chu Ge couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, Su Ling also walked over, looked at this iron box, and was also very curious, and asked, "Senior Brother Chu, what is in here?"
Chu Ge shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either, and then stepped forward to open the iron box.
Su Ling immediately stopped: "Senior Brother Chu, be careful, I don't know if the things in here will be dangerous." ā
Being reminded by Su Ling like this, Chu Ge suddenly remembered, the Thunder Beast Heavenly Slaughter had told him before that there were soul beasts in this rock, so if there was really a living thing, it must be in this box, and Chu Ge was also cautious, for fear that something would happen.
When he nervously opened the sealed iron box, he found that there was a golden snake egg and a golden snake corpse inside.
As soon as Su Ling saw the contents of the box, he immediately blurted out: "This is the ghost stabbing snake queen." ā
"Is this the Snake Queen?" Su Ling's words surprised Chu Ge, and he looked at the contents of this box in a daze.
Su Ling walked in, looked more carefully, and said, "I've heard of it before, but few people have seen the snake queen. This ghost stinging snake queen is responsible for hatching the next snake king, but I didn't expect it to be here. ā
Chu Ge looked at the snake egg in the iron box and said: "Needless to say, this golden snake egg must be the next snake king, no wonder those ghost snakes dare not approach this boulder, it turns out that they are afraid that the snake king egg will be harmed." ā
Su Ling turned his head, turned to look at the actions of Xu Bo and the others behind him, and whispered to Chu Ge: "Senior Brother Chu, I feel as if we have been deceived. ā
Chu Ge understood the meaning of what Su Ling said, because from just now, he felt that this guy from Wancaotang was too strange, the medicine field was destroyed, they didn't say a word, not only that, but they didn't care about it completely, but concentrated on collecting the remains of the ghost stinging snake.
"The purpose of these guys is not to be a medicine field at all, but to meet these ghost stinging snakes from the beginning. They used the snake queen and the snake king egg to lure these ghost stinging snakes over, gathered them together, and then in the name of entrusting the guardian to collect medicinal materials, let us take the initiative to help them solve these ghost stinging snakes, and they made a lot of money from it. His uncle's is too hateful. When Chu Ge thought of this, he suddenly became very angry in his heart, feeling as if he was being tricked by the nose.
At this moment, Xiao Liuzi walked over to this side and thanked Chu Ge again and again: "Two, thank you for your great help, we can wipe out these snakes in one net, and never suffer in the future, although the medicine field has been destroyed, but it will be safe in the future." ā
After Uncle Xu came over, he looked at Chu Ge and said with a smile: "Yes, the people of Qilin Academy really live up to their reputation. ā
Chu Ge forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and responded with a smile on his face: "In this case, then your hall is not responsible for the fact that the medicine field has been destroyed." ā
Uncle Xu waved his hand and said calmly and naturally: "Brother Chu, don't worry, this medicine field is partially damaged, and it is also within the scope of our consideration, we will not care about this matter." ā
When Chu Ge heard him say this, he suddenly took a long breath and said, "Huh...... I'm relieved, I'm worried about losing money. ā
"Brother Chu laughed. Xu Bo said with a smile.
Chu Ge waved his hand and said, "That's okay, now it's safe, you can start harvesting the herbs." But thank you for helping us sort out the loot. ā
Xiao Liuzi looked puzzled and asked, "Your loot?
Chu Ge thought to himself that you are pretending to be with Lao Tzu, then I will pretend too, so he put on a calm and casual look, pointed to the ghost stinging snakes on the ground and said: "It is the snake skin and snake gall and essence of this ghost stinging snake, as far as I know, this ghost stinging snake is full of treasures, so many, it should be able to sell for a good price." ā
After Chu Ge said this, Su Ling comprehended, turned around and pointed to the iron box and said, "Senior Brother Chu, we are so lucky, I didn't expect that there are still the corpse of the snake queen and the snake king egg." ā
Chu Ge pretended to be surprised and said, "Yes, hey, this trip is really not in vain." ā
The smile on Uncle Xu's face was like mud, and he dispersed at once, and said a little anxiously: "Brother Chu, you are responsible for receiving the payment, these snake corpses should be regarded as ours." ā
When Chu Ge heard this, he was immediately unhappy, and said extremely unhappily: "Uncle Xu, this is not good. This is what we have done, not to mention that your commission is only to protect the harvest, and now that you are safe and we have completed our mission, of course these ghost snakes are ours. ā
Seeing that Chu Ge didn't budge, Xiao Liuzi's face also fell, and he said a little unhappily: "How can this be done, these ghost stinging snakes are in our medicine field, of course, they must be counted as our Ten Thousand Souls Hall." ā
Chu Ge saw Xiao Liuzi's unyielding look, and he was just proud in his heart, so he didn't need to say anything, and said sternly: "You still open the door to do business, why are you so unreasonable, if you say so, then I can still say that these snakes are raised by me." Even if you pretend to be entrusted, you still say such shameless words, and you are not afraid of being embarrassed when you say it. ā
Xu Bo and Xiao Liuzi who said these words completely lost their temper, they both knew that they were at fault, and they never thought that these two teenage dolls were so sophisticated, they thought their plan was seamless, but who knew that they were bitten back.
Seeing that they were weak-hearted, Chu Ge immediately struck while the iron was hot, and said with a vicious look in his eyes: "I don't want to cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of causing trouble, once I get into trouble, I can't guarantee that I will do anything." ā
Chu Ge's words were too weighty, and several people in Wanling Hall were immediately shocked, you must know that they have seen Chu Ge's terrifying strength, if they really provoke it, look at this destroyed canyon to know what the result is.
"That's it, Brother Chu, let's talk and discuss, let's go back and talk to the boss and see what he does here." Xu Bo still took the lead in giving in, after all, they didn't have an advantage in terms of reason, let alone fighting.
Chu Ge is not an unreasonable person, so he agreed.
When these people saw Chu Ge sixteen or seventeen years old, they thought he was a little child, but they didn't know how Chu Ge spent his childhood, in an environment where he had been bullied and humiliated, he had seen too many of this kind of tricks.
