Chapter 45 The Little Locust Tree
After greeting each other, the four of them set out on their way, heading east along the river, where there was a relatively large intact land mass, on which a city had been built.
It's hard to imagine a city standing on the shore of the sea in the modern world, and it doesn't make much sense.
Jiang Qiu accompanied the yellow bow to the end, wearing almost.
Monk Sun couldn't help but turn his head to look, Liu Haoming, who was walking aside, shook his head gently, Monk Sun could only give up, but intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the tattoo on Jiang Qiu's left arm.
Jiang Qiu said softly: "Brother Huang, I have a general understanding of the situation in Broken Slope City, but after all, this place belongs to the territory of Hua Shaoguo, and the Dao Gate is also a force that should not be underestimated, will they cooperate with Tianyang City to join forces to drive away all the hunters and monopolize the treasures here?" Then I really can't complete my mission. ”
Huang Gong didn't have a good impression of Jiang Qiu, but as a person under the same force, he paid some attention to the meaning of the same family, and did not make a sound of ridicule, and said indifferently:
"They will definitely send someone here, but there is no need to worry about this, I have heard that Shen Youchu, the proudest little princess of Bingmen, has an indescribable affection for a genius of Daomen, but this genius can't beg for it, but it delays his cultivation, it is said that this genius may be comparable to the Willow Demon."
Jiang Qiu was shocked: "Such a demon? ”
Huang Gong sneered: "The so-called genius is just a young bird that has not grown up, and this young bird of the Daomen has died, and the genius who died still wants to compete with the willow demon?" ”
"Originally, if the two of them were able to get married, maybe Hua Shaoguo could use this to expand cooperation with Tianyang City, and this time they could also join forces to occupy Broken Slope City to resist outsiders like us, not to mention the treasure, we are all lambs to be slaughtered. But emotions are too subtle, making the two geniuses who could have worked together to go one step further become undying enemies. ”
"How did that sentence come about, when love is strong, hatred arises?"
"I can't ask for it, I can't do anything about it, it's sad and lamentable."
Huang Gong blinked, "Don't be afraid if this happens, our Seven Star Club is not a vegetarian, and someone will take care of the two of us." ”
As for the deeper inside story, Huang Gong naturally would not reveal it to this person.
But Jiang Qiu was already convinced, and exclaimed: "Brother Huang is really knowledgeable, he knows this kind of knowledge, and there will be someone to answer it, unlike me, who is completely free-range." ”
Huang Gong smiled, with some admiring glances from Jiang Qiu.
When the four of them came to the city of broken slopes, they did not need to clear the customs papers, nor did they need to pay tolls, there were many people coming and going, and their mouths were talking about the blood red sky, and there would be the words of the birth of the treasure, depending on their appearance and service, there were people from the three major countries, among which the Huashao country in Asia had the most people.
However, the four of them did not stay in the city, but walked through the city and went further north, to the place known as the Thousand Islands Plain.
Jiang Qiu looked up at the sky, the sun had climbed to the top of his head, and he was inevitably a little anxious in his heart, according to this progress, he would definitely not be able to return to Tianyang City tonight.
But where does this strange joy come from?
Compared with Tianyang City, which has strict rules and is cautious in everything it does, it seems to be more 'free', unrestrained, and can use any means at its disposal.
Jiang Qiu doesn't have that kind of homesickness, he can live like a fish in water anywhere, but he can't rely on anything completely on his own, and it's the first time.
In Tianyang City, Jiang Qiu can use the law and his own social circle, in Broken Slope City, everything is useless, only with big fists and flexible brains can he live comfortably, but it is like a good place to go lawlessly.
Crimes can be seen everywhere in the city, and I haven't heard that there is a city lord here, so naturally there are no guards, just an hour ago, when he was passing through Broken Slope City to the Thousand Islands Plain, Jiang Qiu saw an elderly grandmother carrying a human head through the downtown area, and no one cared about it.
Ha!
Jiang Qiu couldn't say he liked it, but this sense of 'freedom' deeply attracted him.
......
......
At noon, the four of them cautiously walked out of Broken Slope City and came to the Kuril Plain in the north, and a few of them first went to a nearby high mountain to overlook.
The Thousand Islands Plain lives up to its name, with curved waters flowing backwards into the plain, dividing the shattered earth into different chunks, like islands isolated in a crooked river.
The four of them glanced at each other, and continued to walk towards the north without saying a word, and near evening, they came to a place that was only a hundred miles away from the appearance of the treasure.
At this moment, Huang Gong took the lead in slowing down, and Liu Haoming then stopped, stretched out his hand and pressed the iron ruler on his waist.
Then Monk Sun stared at the compass in his hand nervously, only to see a trace of white mist rising, which meant that there were beasts infested nearby, and when he looked at it, there was a collapsed pavilion in the distance, and several mangrove trees seemed a little abrupt.
Jiang Qiu was the first to know about the situation of the pavilion, after all, within a radius of three kilometers, there were more than a dozen black crows hovering endlessly.
Dare to blatantly light a bonfire in the Thousand Islands Plain, either you are a child of a rich family, or you have a big background, you can't be a stunned young man.
A burly man walked out of the pavilion, and Jiang Qiu recognized at a glance the Huashao National Highway Gate costume he was wearing.
It's Chen Daqi.
In the first year, Jiang Qiu participated in the big competition of Xusheng Academy, and he had seen this person, and he had argued with him in math problems, and he had also competed with him in triathlons, and he was an opponent that should not be underestimated.
There was a man and a woman behind him, snuggling together from a distance, like a couple in love, and they didn't know what their identity was, but they could actually let a superpowered person in the Daomen escort them.
In addition, an old man sat in the pavilion drinking tea, squinting over, and the four of them were suddenly cold, and cold sweat soaked the clothes behind them.
Jiang Qiu's voice was not loud, and he asked an inappropriate question, "Brother Huang, are we going directly to the pavilion?" Or ......"
Huang Gong was silent, tightening his bags, but Liu Haoming had a headache.
Jiang Qiu looked carefully.
Monk Sun was the most nervous, and the yellow bow was the most ordinary, and suddenly it dawned on him, it turned out that the strongest of the three should be this inconspicuous yellow bow.
On the way forward, Jiang Qiu had observed Huang Gong's breathing, which was soft and long, not short and short like Monk Sun's, but every time Liu Haoming turned around, Huang Gong would deliberately pant for breath, thinking that he was also a good hand at pretending to be a grandson.
Jiang Qiu asked and answered himself, alleviating the embarrassment between several people, "I think, the other party is not a good person to get along with, this team alone is a bit strange, let's take a detour, right?" ”
Monk Sun nodded repeatedly, "This is the best, we are here to seek wealth, not to fight with others." ”
Fortunately, Chen Daqi was just guarding near the pavilion and did not pursue the four of them deeply.
By the time it was completely dark, two or three stars hung in the sky, and the four of them had already walked more than 20 miles.
Monk Sun knew some skills in identifying directions, and after identifying the direction, the four of them teamed up to steal a small fishing boat and set off along the waterway all the way north.
During this period, in order to avoid embarrassment, Jiang Qiu asked, "Master, does your compass also have the function of automatically seeking enemies?" ”
Monk Sun nodded and said: "What you get by chance is not worth mentioning, it is of average quality, and people who are a little stronger can be perceived." ”
He deliberately didn't mention that the white mist was rising because of the beast.
Monk Sun had lingering palpitations for the four people in the pavilion, it was not for nothing that humans and beasts were mixed together, but if the treasure was born and could live in harmony, it would be a bit terrifying.
Jiang Qiu admired: "This is a good thing, there are not tens of millions, you can't come down, right?" ”
Monk Sun smiled: "Almost." ”
Liu Haoming was not in a good mood at this meeting, he originally thought that the treasure was a low-hanging fruit, but when he met a random person, he could be scared so much that he didn't dare to move, if this was the case, how could he get this treasure?
Jiang Qiu should be the most relaxed one, he hadn't heard of the Arcana before he came, he just came to hunt the wurm beast.
The river road was even more winding, slightly detouring more than ten miles of waterway, except for Monk Sun, the other three did not leave too much hot sweat.
That's the benefit of a sorcerer.
Heaven and earth come and go freely, and there is a ability and body worthy of ambition.
I didn't meet anyone on the waterway, and all the way to the place where the treasure was born, it was a quiet and towering cliff, and there were several big characters engraved on the cliff wall.
[Don't ask for harvest, just ask your heart.] 】
Monk Sun muttered, "Pretend to be a ghost." ”
Then he came to the bottom of the cliff, there was a crystal green locust tree, the monk picked a locust leaf, gently crushed it and threw it into the compass, the compass pointer stopped abruptly, and couldn't help nodding, very satisfied. Then the monk walked slowly along the cliff, observing the surroundings from time to time, studying the stars, and finally said, "That's right, this is it." ”
The three of them all breathed a sigh of relief, but Jiang Qiu stared at the not very tall locust tree, a little puzzled, and then asked, "Why is there a locust tree here?" ”
Monk Sun shrugged his shoulders, "Maybe it's the seed that a little bird brought over?" ”
Monk Sun grabbed a handful of soil, put it in his mouth and tasted it a little, "The soil here is not sour, the sea water has not completely eroded, and it is normal to have some trees." ”
Jiang Qiu was surprised, "I don't know if it's worth it." ”
Liu Haoming rolled his eyes, "What is a broken tree worth?" ”
"But this one that grew up at the gate of the Supreme Treasure is worth some money, right?" Jiang Qiu retorted, and Liu Haoming immediately sneered: "Then you can uproot it." ”
Jiang Qiu scratched his head with a smile, he didn't really do it, but tried to pull out a locust leaf, and found that he could pull it down, instead of not losing leaves all year round like the huge locust tree in Tianyang City, but simply, he pulled down all the locust leaves of a locust tree that was not tall in the first place, and his pockets were full, and he didn't forget to try to pull out this locust tree, but he didn't succeed, as if his strength was too small.
Seeing this scene, Huang Gong scratched his head.
He didn't remember that there were such poor people in the members of the Seven Star Society, and Jiang Qiu didn't dress like a child from a poor family, why did he want this kind of acacia leaf that could be seen everywhere?
Not only him, but the other two were also a little skeptical, could it be that this locust tree was also a treasure?
