Chapter 21: No Disaster
If it was just Chu Hao alone, then he would never dare to go deep into the Blackwood Forest. But if there are so many people together...... He didn't mind going into the forest to see it.
"What cave?" Chu Hao asked.
"A mine cave that has been abandoned for a long time, don't worry, there is no danger in it, as long as you don't get lost down there!"
Chu Hao thought about it, and then agreed, he really wanted to go into the depths of the forest to have a look.
The girl walked back to the convoy with a smile and gave Chu Hao an introduction.
This girl's surname is Yang, her name is Yang Suyun, she is from Yuecheng and is from a big merchant family. However, except for Yang Suyun and her servant "Cheng Lao", the other 15 people in their group were recruited by girls in Yuecheng.
This kind of trick can be found in every city, usually in the square in the center of the city, where most of the mercenary groups are stationed to facilitate the acceptance of tasks. There are also a lot of skirmishers hanging out there, taking on tasks that don't require teamwork to complete.
For example, Yang Suyun's mission, go to an abandoned mine to find the remaining ore, in fact, as long as you can kill in the Blackwood Forest, the next thing is to depend on luck.
The Yang family paid each person an "appearance fee" of 10 taels of silver for this, and for each piece of mineral they found, they would give an additional amount of money according to their weight - which was equivalent to a commission.
Moreover, it is quite high.
Chu Hao had seen it, and Yang Suyun took out a piece of ore for reference, which was white all over, but there seemed to be clouds and mist in it, which he had never seen before. This ore is called cloud stone by Yang Suyun, what is the specific use, Yang Suyun did not say.
However, as long as this ore reaches one gram, Yang Suyun will buy it for 10 taels of silver!
Good value!
Chu Hao couldn't help but be surprised, of course the Yang family would not do a loss-making business, so Yang Suyun was willing to buy it at a price of 10 taels of silver and one gram, which means that the money they earned should be much higher than this price!
What is the use of this ore, it is so valuable!
Yang Suyun's tone was very tight, and she didn't know if she could keep the secret or if she didn't know at all.
It stands to reason that Chu Hao can't touch Yang Suyun and his party, but who let him turn around on the periphery of the Blackwood Forest, and actually went around to the end of Yuecheng.
The group headed deeper into the forest, each with great caution.
In the forest, there are not only terrible beasts, but also some inconspicuous little insects that are even more dangerous!
They are highly poisonous, and if they bite them, it is quite bad! It is impossible to carry too much medicine when you go out, and if you are bitten by a poisonous insect, five out of ten people will die.
The people in this team are very mixed, the old ones like "Cheng Lao" are in their 60s, and the youngest Bahu is even a year younger than Chu Hao, but most of them are middle-aged.
Such a guerrilla is generally not too strong, not qualified to enter the mercenary group, can only find this kind of work that does not require much strength, otherwise, 10 taels of silver can not invite people out of the city - even if there is a considerable commission, but obviously this mineral will not be easy to find!
When going out, most of the people are pursuing the principle that it is better to say more than to see more, obviously it is a team of nearly 20 people, but there is little communication when they walk along the way, most of them are bored to rush their own way, anyway, after entering the mine, they are also looking for their own separately.
Because of the dangers in the forest, they don't travel very fast, and it takes about two days to reach the mine. That night, they stopped to rest, only to be attacked by a fierce beast.
This is a fifth-order mid-level fire cloud leopard, and the animal hair on its body is like a burning flame, which is both beautiful and full of danger. Under the joint efforts of everyone, this fire cloud leopard was forced to retreat, making everyone break out in a cold sweat.
- It's also a shame that this fire cloud leopard is pregnant, and he didn't go all out, otherwise even if he forced it back, he would have to pay a few lives!
The fierce beasts in the Blackwood Forest are not too strong, and there is no Mahayana realm, so this fire cloud leopard should be at the overlord level. It's just that Chu Hao and the others don't have any strong people, so they just force the Fire Cloud Leopard to retreat, otherwise it would be Fu Xue, the female tyrannosaurus...... I guess you will be able to eat leopard meat in the evening.
After this time of fighting side by side, it became obvious that everyone became much more affectionate, and the battlefield was the easiest place to form friendships.
"Ding Hao, your money is good!" Ba Hu walked to Chu Hao's side, his eyes staring at the Red Shadow Sword.
- Ding Hao is a pseudonym used by Chu Hao.
Chu Hao smiled slightly, this sword cost him 30,000 taels of silver, a penny for a penny, of course it was good! He nodded and said, "Thank you!"
"Sell it to me!" Bahu's eyes were full of greed, "A thousand taels of silver, how about it?"
One thousand taels?
You can't even buy a tenth!
Chu Hao shook his head and said, "I don't have the idea of selling swords!"
"Ding Hao, I really like this sword!" Bahu emphasized, his tone already revealing displeasure.
"I also like my sword very much, and I have no idea of selling it!" Chu Hao also emphasized.
"Three thousand taels! How about three thousand taels?" Bahu did not give up.
Chu Hao frowned, he didn't think that Bahu was a good person, but now this guy seems a bit of a scoundrel.
If you like it, you will be sold it?
"Not for sale!" his voice froze.
Ba Hu looked at Chu Hao, and after a while, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile, and said, "Ding Hao, I have grown so big, no one has ever dared to say no to me!"
"Then you heard it today!"
"Hahaha, you'll regret it!" Bahu laughed, but his young age was full of arrogance, "You are only a first-order Hinayana realm, and you are not worthy of this sword at all! You will regret it! I can pack a ticket!"
There was murderous intent in his eyes.
Chu Hao's heart sank, this young man must have been spoiled, and he had no concept of good and evil at all! And this was outside the city, even if he took out the blood wolf order, he would be able to deter the other party?
This young man is a third-order Hinayana realm, and his strength is more than a star and a half stronger than Chu Hao! Now, of course, he only dares to make a verbal threat, but after entering the mine, ...... There's so much space down there, and a dead person is like throwing a stone into the sea, and you can't even find a corpse!
Chu Hao was also murderous, and he had the idea of killing people for the sake of a sword? This young man's heart is really unbearable!
The third-order Hinayana realm is indeed stronger than him, but if there is a fierce battle of life and death, it is not certain who will live and who will die! After all, how sharp is the Red Shadow Sword? The environment of the mine is extremely complex, and strong strength does not necessarily mean that you will be able to have the last laugh!
The corners of Chu Hao's mouth also showed a smile, and he said, "Then wait and see!"
"Look for death!" Bahu whispered, his face full of disdain, and walked away.
This is truly a disaster!
Chu Hao looked at the back of Bahu leaving, and secretly thought in his heart, in this world, it's not that you can be safe and sound without causing trouble! Unless you are really poor, no one may beat your idea!
A Red Shadow Sword made Bahu move his killing intent, so he sat on Fumanlou, a chicken that can lay golden eggs, how many people stared at him, eager to get rid of him and hurry up? Among them, the one with the strongest killing intent should belong to Liu Heng's family, because as long as Chu Hao is dead, then Fumanlou will be theirs!
Strength, he needs strength, strength that can be coveted by anyone without fear!
He was thinking about it, but he had a feeling of being stared at, and when he looked back suddenly, he saw that Yang Suyun's beast pet was staring at his ass, baring his teeth and drooling.
Seeing Chu Hao turn his head to look over, the fierce beast grinned a little more, full of hostility.
"Look at it again, stew you and eat dog meat!" Chu Hao said with a smile, he not only offended the villain, but was also targeted by a vicious dog - this kind of fierce beast is called the big-eared red dog, which is a relatively docile fierce beast, easy to domesticate, unlike most fierce beasts, it is never possible to live in harmony with humans.
was glared at by him, and the fierce dog immediately ran away with his tail between his legs, and he must have gone to find Yang Suyun to sell cuteness and coquettishness again.
After another day, the team finally arrived at the mine.
The mine is so large that the entrance alone is ten meters high and can accommodate a horse-drawn carriage to enter and exit freely!
If all the output here was cloud stones, what kind of astonishing wealth would it be?
Chu Hao thought in his heart, whether the cloud stone is the main mine or the associated mine, this difference is huge!
"Everyone brings food and drink, one is three days' worth at a time, and then come out to replenish it when we are finished! We will probably stay here for ten days, and if it is any longer, the food and water will be gone!" Yang Suyun said to everyone while asking the goods on the carriage to be unloaded.
After receiving food and water one by one, everyone entered the mine.
Chu Hao looked at Bahu, the young man had been clasping his hands to his chest, and he was also staring at him coldly, like a poisonous snake that chooses people to devour. He carried food and water on his back and entered the mine.
The first part was fine, but soon the light faded away, and all that was left of the cave was pitch black, with only flickering torches casting faint light in the distance.
The air quality in the cave is not bad, and there is still wind blowing out of it, and there is probably another entrance, or a dark river or something.
Chu Hao didn't light the torch, and when he came to the entrance, he didn't know how many people had walked through it, and it was almost impossible to find the Cloud Mist Stone here, and he had to beware of Bahu.
Whoever holds a torch in the dark is simply the most conspicuous target.
Chu Hao walked quietly, in fact, he didn't want to clash with Bahu right now, after all, his cultivation in the first-order Hinayana realm was a hard injury. No matter how wicked you are, you can only hate in the face of the absolute power gap!
Not only is the entrance to this cave large, but there seems to be another world inside, with intricate branches like an ant's nest.
Chu Hao is not afraid of taking the wrong path, his analytical ability is amazing, as long as the road he has walked, he will sketch it in his mind, as if he is building a model, showing the three-dimensional map of the entire mine.
Bahu should not be able to catch up with himself - if the two really have to meet, it can only be said that it is too much of a coincidence.
