Chapter 13: The Pit Viper

Chen Jie's original habitat was tended by him for a few days. It became the Garden of Eden in this treacherous place.

Now what Chen Jue sees is a mess. His crafted vessels, which were both artistic and functional, were suddenly a mass of broken bricks and tiles. The various spices and condiments he extracted were also missing.

All the traps he had set with his heart were broken. Wells, vegetable patches and flower beds were all smashed.

The only added scenery throughout the original habitat is a few people hanging from a large tree. That is, several of his teammates hung in large characters in a very uncivilized way from the tree.

Chen Jue saw all this. He felt like he was out of this world. A sense of existential nothingness and absurdity.

At this moment, the sun shines through the leaves, dappled points of light, dotting this ruined paradise in a very abstract way.

Keep your head up. Looking at what looks like a few dying teammates. He laughed and said, "Your home was smashed, and you were picked up by others to make a barbecue on a tree." Can you tell me. What great things have you done, and which god have you offended?"

Several people on the tree heard Chen Jie's question, and they came to life one by one. They didn't see Chen Jue come in just now. There are too many people coming and going these days.

A little later, it will be the opening day of this museum. As long as they can't afford to pay their soul bones, they will be hung on a tree by the 'pit viper' for exhibition. It is also called the "Original Performance Art Exhibition".

saw Chen Jie's return. I heard his question again. The two women were sobbing low in shame. The three men looked at Chen Du weakly.

They never believed that Chen had fought a duel against a powerful pit viper. He's the boss here now. Before going out, everyone who is ready to go out must pay for the excess soul bones.

If you have it, you don't have to pay it. Without soul bones, it is the fate of these 5 twin brothers and sisters.

The sword flashed, and the five bodies fell to the ground with a thud.

The woman hurriedly covered certain parts to find something to cover her body. The men found a few large leaves on the spot to temporarily hide their indecent bodies.

Chen Jue looked at the embarrassed state of several people, shook his head and asked Sanyi, who came over first, "Who came to our house as a guest and made you into a work of art?"

Sany was about to answer Chen Jie's question. The wooden fence standing outside was suddenly kicked fiercely, making a loud noise.

Chen Jue turned sideways and looked at a square object with a height of 2 meters and a waist circumference of 2 meters and walked in. He was followed by eight strong men with broad shoulders and round waists, and huge axes in their hands.

Chen Jue turned sideways and tilted his head to look at a few people.

The behemoth, which weighs modestly and modestly weighs more than 300 kilograms. He has a pair of eyes that seem to be closed like a thin line. Asked, "You came in before you bought a ticket." It's not in line with our rules. Then fine them 10 Imperial Coins? Oh, you put them down. This sin is great. That's 100 gold coins to save your life. ”

Chen Jue pretended to be surprised. With a pair of eyes wide and somewhat innocent, he asked, "Oh." I don't have any gold coins, I don't have soul bones, so what should I do?"

Fang Fang glanced at Chen Jie. Puzzled, he asked, "You don't have anything." If you go out, you will also be executed. If you don't go out, the army of the Nine Shadows will also kill you. So what are you doing alive now?"

Chen Jue said innocently and cutely: "Fat brother, I don't have any gold coins you can give me." I don't have a soul bone, you can give it to me. Isn't it?"

The square was amused by Chen Jie's words. He said extremely gently, "Hehe, of course, of course. I'll give you whatever you want. ”

Chen Jue had a smile like a flower on his face. Stretch out a hand and spread it out towards the square. said: "Then you can give me 1,000 gold coins and 20 medium-sized soul bones now." Then you give it to me now. ”

The square's childlike face shows a hint of brilliance. Said, "What do you want to do with a dead man?"

Chen Jue narrowed his eyes slightly. Said with great interest: "Ahem, if you don't pay me so much." It looks like you're going to be a dead fat man, a dead fat man. ”

The fat man was not angry or annoyed, and asked quietly, "Why should I pay you gold coins and soul bones?"

Chen Jue looked at the fat man. "First of all, this place is mine," he said. Shouldn't you be compensated for breaking my things? Second, if you hang my people from a tree, shouldn't you soothe their wounded hearts? In the end, you dare to blackmail me. Isn't it comforting and comforting too?"

Hearing this, Fang Fang laughed a little exaggeratedly: "Haha, did Lao Tzu get up early today? With that, he winked at the eight strong men with giant axes.

Suddenly, there was a burst of wind and thunder in the sky,

Suddenly, the flying daggers in the sky filled the entire heaven and earth.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared strangely.

The bodies of the eight strong men stopped, and the giant axes fell to the ground.

Blood flowed from the countless holes that covered their bodies, and then eight loud bangs smashed out smoke and dust that covered the sky.

This is the flying knife stunt that Chen Jue learned from the ghost wolf Xu Tian now.

In his hands, of course, there is a completely different atmosphere.

Double one, double two stunned, three one, three two, three three stunned.

The square is directly petrified.

Chen Jue walked over, stretched out his hand, spread it out, and said, "Do you want to give it now?"

The square continues to petrify.

Chen was helpless. He took out a dagger and knocked him on the head. Continue to ask: "Do you give it now, if you are still intoxicated now." I'm going to dissect you. ”

The square woke up at the right time and glanced at Chen Du with infinite resentment. said, "Now I can't give it to you." Because what you want isn't with me. It's all with my boss pit viper. ”

Chen Jue nodded and said with infinite understanding: "Oh. That is true. Since you're so insignificant, be my fertilizer here. After Chen Jue finished speaking, the dagger in his hand seemed to tremble unintentionally.

A thin red line appeared on the neck of the fat man.

Gradually, a red liquid slowly leached out of the red line.

A massive human head rolled to the ground with a thud.

Chen Jue turned around and watched the countless crowds of people outside the fence in the distance. A smile like sunshine spread across his face. Then he bowed deeply to the people in the distance. As if grateful for their response to his gracious performance.

Chen Jie's extreme vision at this time quickly scanned the things on these people's bodies. There really is nothing. It's a little bit better than a beggar.

He raised his arm to look at the skull. The numbers above are still changing.

33512 kills, 103.02 evolution.

He didn't know how much of his result would rank among their trainers for the current term, but he believed it wasn't the highest.

At this time, Chen Jue glanced at the five teammates who were cleaning up the house. So he took out 5 small soul bones from his [Midu Space] and beckoned Trinity to come over. It was handed to him.

Sany was stunned again. Then an expression of ecstasy appeared on his face. I thought they were doomed. Now suddenly cheerful. Peak loop turn.

Chen Du patted Sanyi on the shoulder, stood up, and said to Sanyi, "Have you seen that pit viper?"

"Nope. Trinity replied simply.

Chen Jue thought about it for a moment. And he said, "We can get out of here the day after tomorrow." You will have to learn to protect yourselves. But before you go out. I'm not going to let anything happen to you. ”

Sanyi's eyes flashed with emotion, followed by disappointment. Deeply disappointed.

Chen never paid attention to Sany's emotions. He stood up. Walk over to a big tree and sit down.

He was speculating about when the pit viper would attack him, or give up for now. Wait for them to get out before striking a fatal blow at him?

Leaning against the round and broad trunk of the big tree, Chen Jue closed his eyes.

......

Nine Shades City, a city that was gradually established based on the Nine Shades Training Camp. The population reached 4.5 million, which was equivalent to the size of a second-tier city in the Jin Empire.

Although the Nine Shadows City is not currently part of the administrative division of the Empire, its infrastructure and related industries are extremely developed.

The streets in the city are wide, with many shops, high-rise buildings, and rows of stairs.

Due to the huge stakes involved. The underground industry here is extremely developed.

It is said that its entertainment industry, special services, gambling and pornography industry are worth up to 1 billion gold coins. It is equivalent to one-tenth of the total output of the entire empire.

It's heaven and hell.

Prohibited goods dealers, speculators, adventurers, hunters, politicians, prostitutes, and all sorts of other characters flock to it.

It's an adventurer's paradise and a place to sell money.

This spontaneously formed agglomeration. There is no nominal ruler.

Each industry has its own trade unions, and the security companies throughout the Nine Ghost City are responsible for the security affairs of the entire Nine Ghost City.

On the surface everything is in order. In fact, it is a dark tide.

To the west of the city there is a tall 80-story skyscraper. That's the tax office of the Nine Shadows. It is the Jiuyou Training Camp that exercises the responsibility of tax collection and collection.

A city that does not exist on the map of the Empire, a place that is not listed in any of the administrative divisions of the Empire. However, a luxurious tax collection authority was established. There is no list of taxes paid in this place in the annual revenue of the Empire. In other words, the huge amount of taxes collected by the Nine Shadows City every year is gone.

Is this normal?

And the director of this tax bureau is the director of the Jiuyou training camp - Wei Yongqi. A lieutenant general who was once a member of the Empire's top series elite legion.

Yan Tianxi, who is currently the general affairs director of the Jiuyou Training Camp, manages the State Administration for Industry and Commerce in Jiuyou City.

The administrative director of the Nine Shadows Training Camp is Han Biyan from the Han family, and she is now in charge of the entire administrative system of Nine Shades City.

Zhao Fucheng, from the Zhao family, was the military representative of the Imperial Ministry of Defense stationed in the Jiuyou training camp. Because the Nine Shadows Training Camp itself is a subordinate department belonging to the Imperial Ministry of Defense.

Nominally, all matters related to the Nine Shadows need to go through this military representative. He is the de facto ruler. If everyone else is willing to obey.

Provost Vulture is the only one who is not a member of the Nine Shadows Upper Echelons outside of the Four Great Families.

At this moment, he was sitting in an office on the top floor of the Academic Affairs Building of the Nine Shadows Training Camp. On his desk is a box of Guwana cigars.

The fat pig sitting across from him was frowning to the vultures about the harvest of this time.

The vulture had a flat expression, and after listening to Comrade Fat Pig's work report carefully, patiently and meticulously, he made an important instruction: "Continue to strictly implement my policy, and last year's bidders must join the code." In the first year of this year, it's just 10 percent. It's clear that it's last year's price. Anyway, this won't go into my pocket. ”

Fat Pig heard the leader's instructions and immediately understood the profound connotation. So I immediately sent my understanding. He said in a tone of infinite adoration, "Your Excellency. The command is determined. Those of us who do things have a clear sense of direction and a firm sense of mission. ”

The vulture nodded in satisfaction. Said: "According to relevant news, more than 60,000 people will come out this year, and about 180,000 soul bones can be brought back. When the next batch of 50,000 trainers arrives, they will bring back more than 30,000 soul bones after entering the Great Forest. We had a great harvest today. ”

The fat lard's shiny big face was full of excitement. said: "The villain follows the right person, and there is also a small gain." ”

The vulture smiled and nodded. continued to ask: "I heard that Zhao Rui has been staying in Zhao Fucheng's military representative office since he negotiated a contract with you two and a half months ago. Have you found out his purpose?"

Fat Pig's face was a little gloomy, and he said fiercely: "It seems that he is in a hurry, and he is not at ease with our verbal agreement, so he has stayed here and has not left." ”

The vulture said disdainfully: "If you want to catch me, go dream." Lao Tzu just wants to be both a bitch and a memorial arch, and when that Chen decision comes out, he will find a reason to execute. Hand over the body to him and finish the business. ”

Fat Pig frowned and said, "My lord, if it is not a normal death, then this will become our future handle." ”

The vulture said nonchalantly: "If you have the strength, you can set up a torii, what does he do? Lao Tzu didn't believe that old man Wei was specifically trying to attack me. Lao Tzu has also sent him a lot of money in recent years. He dared to turn his face on Lao Tzu. It's a big deal to stab it to the sky. Lao Tzu is declaring his sovereignty in a high-profile manner this time. This is Lao Tzu's strategy of throwing stones to ask for directions and vibrating the tiger across the mountain. Boy, you know what?"

Fat Pig heard this. Immediately smiled. Then he asked with doubts: "This Zhao Rui doesn't want anything, but he wants the complete body of a little pariah." And it costs a lot of money. I really don't understand. ”

The vulture laughed and said, "I heard that Zhao Ping and the people of the Ancient Alliance are very close. That Zhao Rui's master was a master of the Egyptian Empire of the Ancient Alliance, and many of their secret methods were forbidden techniques that were strictly forbidden by the Five Continents Continent. Most of Zhao Rui's purchase of corpses is related to the use of forbidden arts. You want to remember to keep the handle. Maybe it will become our talisman in the future. ”

The fat pig will understand and nod his head. At the same time, there was a chill in his heart.

His wife's affairs are a secret. In the end, it is the vultures who will benefit.

This puzzled him. He eventually decided to abandon further pursuit. Always hold the vulture's thigh unswervingly. Earn more money and go into seclusion with a clean slate.

This is his grand ideal as a small pawn.
