Chapter 129: If you want to be as quiet as white jade, you can sing lifeless songs
Originally, there were only a dozen shops in the desert town, and on weekdays it was just a place for adventurers and passers-by to settle down or replenish supplies, but these days there are many big people, and it is bustling with activity.
If you want to go to the demon city from here, you can only go through the only official road that runs through the desert town, because the left and right sides of the town are swampy areas for hundreds of miles, not only are there man-eating crocodiles and various poisonous snakes infested, but people and animals walk in the swamp, only the fate of being swallowed by the swamp silt.
A few days ago, dozens of guards of the fish-man family chased and killed a few members of the bloody hunting team, and after making a big fuss in the town, it was not long before people saw the group of invincible guards returning to the town in a very embarrassed manner, and rode away on the horses stored in the town's stables without stopping.
Could it be that the adults of the fish-man family actually suffered at the hands of those embarrassed blood-colored team members? People speculated wildly, but no one dared to say more, although this is the southern border of the demon city, but from time to time there are still big figures from the city lord's mansion and the family, and if they are not careful, they will lose their heads, but no one wants to. As for whether the Scarlet Team members had been killed by the Guardian Adults or had fled into the Blood Desert, people didn't dare or disdain to care.
Although the town is small, the goods in each shop are very rich, and each of them has a flag on the roof, or embroidered with a harpoon, or embroidered with an axe, or directly embroidered with a red chaotic figure.
The harpoon is the banner of the Fishman family, the axe is the banner of the Hunting Axe family, and the virtual image of the figure is the banner of the Demon City Lord's Mansion. No one dares to fight the idea of these shops, unless they don't want to live.
At dusk that day, nine more powerful Fishman Family Guards hurriedly rode their horses, but they quickly left in a hurry, all of them seemed to have walked to the edge of the Blood Desert, but their faces were extremely ugly, which the town bosses who were accustomed to observing words and expressions still noticed.
What happened to make the adults of the fish-man family come here again and again, but they didn't even stay in the shop they took care of for a moment, and they came and went in a hurry, very strange.
People were thinking, could it be that there were some great treasures and strange beasts in the Blood Desert? Or were those few Scarlet team members not killed, what did they have a dispute about?
Suddenly, it seemed that dark clouds began to gather over this remote desert town, and the air became oppressive and solemn, and people saw deep worry and horror in each other's eyes. Although the safety of their property and shops is protected by the three major forces of the Demon City, once the adults of these three families fight with others in the town and cause damage and losses, they can't find a place to get compensation at all, so they can only knock out their teeth and swallow blood.
Hopefully, the quarrels and scuffles don't happen in the town, and the bosses prayed secretly.
Who knows, in the early morning of this day, a group of members of the blood-colored hunting group returned to the town from the direction of the blood desert, this group of blood-colored team members were all wearing neat blood-colored uniforms, and there was no sign of bloody battles on their bodies, and they should have been tired, they were all full of energy, just like they had just gone to a pleasant place and returned from a carriage tour, and the ease and indifference were by no means disguised.
How is that possible? For the first time in so many years, people have seen people returning from an adventure in the Blood Desert look like this.
Thirteen members of the Scarlet Regiment, seven men and six women, walked straight into the wine shop, ordered a large table of wine and food, sat together, and ate hot as if no one was around.
Suddenly, two red-haired old men in brocade clothes, dressed in fine armor, opened the door with great majesty.
The two of them had a golden waist card hanging around their waists, and within the realm of the Demon City, only the guards of the Fishman family hung this kind of waist card.
The boss was just about to step forward to greet him, but he was glared at by one of the old men with fierce eyes, and he was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, and his heart was already half cold.
"Sure enough, I came to trouble this group of Scarlet people, why was Lao Tzu so unlucky, he didn't expect to turn this group of Scarlet people out? Now it's the steward of the Fishman family, how can it be compared to the previous batches of guards? ”
The shopkeeper almost wanted to cry without tears, and looked at the group of people in the blood group almost in despair, but saw that the group of people were still eating and drinking with laughter, and did not notice the arrival of the two stewards.
"You are the detachment of the Scarlet Regiment, who is the captain?" the old man suddenly shouted at Meng Yang and the others.
Tina stopped the other team members who wanted to stand up and motioned for them to continue eating, she stood up and turned around to meet the eyes of the two seven-bead powerhouses without fear, and calmly responded: "Yes, we are the fourth detachment of the Scarlet Hunting Group, and I am the captain Tina." I wonder if this senior has any advice?"
"Advice? Hmph, don't dare. You blood-colored hunting group is really promising, you dare to ride on the head of our fish-man family to demonstrate, where do you put the demon city family in your eyes?let me ask you, you did that thing, right?what about your helpers?what do you want to do with this matter?" Another red-haired old man turned his hand and carried a copper hammer in his hand, took a few steps forward, and glared at Tina coldly.
Tina was stunned and said, "Please forgive me for being stupid, I don't know what the predecessor said?"
"You robbed the prey of one of our family's adventurers in the Blood Desert, and killed and injured many people, and when our family escort came to interrogate this matter, you actually invited a strong hand to secretly injure many of my guards, do you still want to deny this matter?" the old man shouted angrily, killing intent condensed between his eyes.
At this moment, Meng Yang laughed and stood up, walked to Tina's side, and looked directly at the two Seven Beads powerhouses without humility or arrogance, and said, "These two stewards seem to have misunderstood, right? A group of unidentified adventurers actually tried to take advantage of our great loss of strength to snatch the prey, so a dispute broke out. Later, we learned that it was an adventure team of your family, and we thought of visiting the demon city again, explaining the matter, but then we met a guard of your house, they didn't listen to our explanation at all, so they killed us, and as a last resort, we had to flee back to the blood desert, and only today we had to return to the town because of no provisions. Besides, our blood-colored people have always been so poor that we can afford to ask for the help of the strong? Asking outsiders for help is not the practice of our blood-colored hunting group! Please be aware of the stewardship. ”
The two red-haired old men didn't expect to encounter a sharp-toothed blood-colored team member, they were speechless for a while, looked at each other, and the old man snorted coldly: "How can the old man believe your words, no matter what you say today, you have to give us a reasonable explanation, otherwise, hum." ”
Meng Yang's pupils shrank: "Don't the two stewards believe what they say, do they have to bully others? My bloody head can be broken and bleeding, but I will never bow my head! I hope the two adults will think clearly before they start, are you going to start a war between the fish-man family and the blood-colored group?"
"Shhh
The two old men in charge gasped, they didn't expect a blood-colored detachment to have such a tough attitude.
Since this kid said so, he must have used a secret method to pass the news to the Scarlet Headquarters a long time ago. The blood color has grown from more than 100 people to several thousand people over the years, and its power should not be underestimated, if it is really because the prey and the blood color are openly torn apart, I am afraid that the three major wandering hunting groups will join forces, and it will be a big trouble.
Seeing the hesitation of the two old men in charge, Meng Yang said softly: "Our Scarlet Detachment is preparing to travel all over the Seven Cities of Honor, accepting the entrusted tasks of the family and the City Lord's Mansion, and we will never grudge against anyone, but we are never afraid of anyone maliciously bullying. Since the two stewards have come forward in person, we have to give face. I have a proposal, how about the two stewards?"
The two old men responded with a cold snort.
"Our Scarlet Quad can do a highest-level entrusted mission for your family, these three Blood Mantis are a gift from our Scarlet Squad to the Fishman family, we don't take your family's deposit, if we complete the task, we will only take half of your remuneration, how about it? But from now on, I don't want any unpleasant things to happen between Scarlet and Fishman!"
Meng Yang said in a deep voice, and with a shake of his hand, the corpses of three almost complete huge blood mantis mantis fell in front of the two old men in charge, making a loud bang.
The eyes of the two old men in charge lit up, such a complete blood mantis, it is really good, if the head of the family dedicates it to the city lord, I don't know if he will be rewarded with soul stones?
"Okay, we can call the shots in this matter, the past grievances and entanglements will be understood, and we will accept the gifts, and no one in the fish-man family will have trouble looking for blood from now on. Our family's highest-level task is to hand over a Muddy Water Beast, which is the pass token of our family's hunting area, you know the rules, we will go back to report to the family master, and wait for your good news!"
The two old men in charge put away the three blood mantises, flashed out of the tavern, and after a while, they heard the rapid sound of horses' hooves all the way north.
A huge crisis was eliminated like this, and the boss was shocked into a cold sweat, and under the joy of joy, he made an exception and gave Meng Yang and others a jar of wine.
Meng Yang said to Tina: "Captain, it's better to let Xiao Ming and Xiao Sheng go to the Demon City to next the tasks entrusted by the three major forces, let's take a break here, and when we get the token, we will finish these tasks and then return to the Demon City." ”
Tina was a little stunned, the original plan was for everyone to return to the demon city first to resolve the grievances of the fish-man family as much as possible and then discuss the matter of taking over the task, but she didn't expect Meng Yang to deal with the grievances cleanly here, and also received the task issued by the fish-man family.
Drunken Moon leaned into Tina's ear and whispered a few words, Tina's eyes showed ecstasy, and then said in a deep voice: "Okay, Cui is not angry, you go to the hotel with Xiao Si and Xiao Ji, and it will be hard for Xiao Ming and Xiao Sheng to go to the demon city to pick up the task." ”
The scholar and Ming Shaoxin inquired about the rules and details of the task, took Tina's blood-colored seal, walked out of the store, and disappeared without a trace in a flash.
Eleven people stayed in the only inn in the town, and the four and the base were in charge of guarding, and Meng Yang laid a Horcrux ban outside the room, and then escaped into the Nine Rings and got busy.
He was going to use this time to make a goose feather armor for the other eight team members. Of course, in the past few days with Tina and the others, Meng Yang has already figured out the soul power attributes of the eight people, and the Yan Ling armor made is also equivalent to tailor-made, which is a very simple thing for Meng Yang.
Eight pieces of Yan Ling armor, because it was tailor-made, Meng Yang could not be cast at the same time, so it took a day and a night.
escaped from the Nine Rings, called Drunken Moon, and handed over the eight pieces of Yanling armor to her to take down and distribute, and the scholar and Ming Shao had not returned.
During this interval, Meng Yang involuntarily resounded the verse spoken by Ka Ye.
You can find it in the middle. Wang San's tacit trick is only Wang Liu.
If you want to be as quiet as white jade. Staying alone.
The remainder of oneself must be rid of lust. This spirit boy is as bright as a candle.
I can sing lifeless songs. I don't know how to live in a day. Hugh seeks.
Clarity of the heart is true news.
What does this verse mean? Meng Yang was puzzled, thought for a long time, and suddenly noticed that there was a fluctuation of soul power in the sky, but it was Ming Shao and the scholar who had returned from the demon city.
Let's go and complete the entrusted task first, and get the qualification to enter the Demon City Hunting Area.
