Chapter Seventy-Nine: How Much Is a Head Worth?
The autumn wind suddenly rose, with a cold killing intent, swept across the northwest of the Thousand Islands Plain, and every inch of the well-known island was wrapped in it.
There are no 'ridiculous' walls like the Broken Slope City, and there are no high-rise buildings behind the walls, but you can see orcs shuttling through the streets and alleys, and humans live in them, and there are constant conflicts.
If you talk about the famous attraction, it is none other than Lok Long Slope, which is located in the center of the island.
Former shadow magician Zhao Zilong is buried here.
The tombstone is more than a foot high.
It is said that when it was first erected, it was a wordless monument, and his descendants came here five years after his death to engrave a line of writing for it.
"The sun should shine on the world, the rain should fall on the world, and there should be human beings in the world."
Three sentences seem to explain why he made a move.
Despite this, it's a small town no matter how you look at it, not a big city.
The autumn rain is falling with the last rays of sunset on the horizon.
The small town and the small tavern are full of tourists who are blocked by the wind and rain at this time, and it is extremely crowded and lively.
There are more than a dozen off-road vehicles parked in front of the courtyard, and there are traces of knives and guns on the cars, and in the covered bridge to the east, there is a pale golden long sword inserted obliquely, which divides the cold wind that poured into the courtyard in two, making people infinitely reverie what kind of battle has happened here, so that a sword can have such a murderous aura.
In the halls of the tavern, it is not uncommon to see strong men in undershirts or vests coming and going, either to show off their strength or to have other ideas.
Here, the least background is the same, and the most background.
Because behind every person and every force, there is a beast.
When Qingjiu arrived here, there was no empty table, but he was not in a hurry at all, because he knew that there were not many things in the world that money could not buy after all, so he went to the counter first and asked for two glasses of wine, found a person sitting alone, handed over a glass, and asked with a smile: "Share a table?" This glass of wine when I please you. ”
The man paused, agreed, and had a gentle touch.
Qingjiu has a liquor in its name, but he doesn't like to drink, but he belongs to the type that can be very drunk.
A big man with a white face and a sturdy body walked over, stood behind Qingjiu, and said with a smile: "Big brother, the room near the sun in the south of the hotel is vacant, and I have also booked it, so you can rest at any time." ”
Qingjiu couldn't help but smile and said flatly: "Little cow, it's hard work." ”
The corners of Min's mouth couldn't help twitching, but according to Jiang Qiu's plan, he only needed to transform into a human form and be a bodyguard, and he didn't need to make a move on anyone, and he also participated in it through Jiang Qiu's persuasion.
After a while, Min suddenly said, "Big brother, there are also people from the Golden Lion Gang who live here, as if they just harvested a treasure from outside. ”
Qingjiu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? Who is the one taking the lead? ”
Min Dao: "It's the younger brother of the gang leader, and I heard that it's called Jin Fenglei." ”
Before Qingjiu could speak, the person at the table said: "It's not easy for this bad embryo to survive until now." ”
Qingjiu thought for a while, and according to the jargon among the hunters that Jiang Qiu handed over to him, he asked, "Have you ever been in the ground?" ”
"No, I didn't."
"Is it selling sheep?"
"Not really." The person at the same table put aside the wine handed over by Qingjiu, and took a sip of the wine he bought, "I like to eat young sheep." ”
Qingjiu gasped, he heard Jiang Qiu say what the sheep represented, so he didn't say anything more, just drank a lot.
Although Qingjiu was talking to him, his eyes kept staring at the transparent and patterned glass door in front of him, as if he was waiting for someone.
Min Dao: "Jiang Gongzi said that he promised one thing, and he can't come to Zhiming Island for the time being." ”
Qingjiu smiled and said, "Although I know that this is the result, I just think Jiang ...... Childe is not too conformist, he should use his own methods to enter the island, but he gives me the feeling that he is a bit like a lone wolf in the wilderness, guarding the last bit of the bottom line, doing the work of burning, killing and looting. ”
Min also smiled, "But he's not a lone wolf. ”
Qingjiu sighed, understanding what Min meant, "Who said it wasn't." ”
Before the words fell, he saw three people enter the tavern through a door in the back, and the three of them spoke loudly, discussing the dazzling scene of the magic weapon falling to the earth like a meteor before the formation landed, for fear that no one would know that they had found the treasure in their hands.
Qingjiu recognized that the strong man with a red wax face was the deputy leader of the Golden Lion Gang, 'Golden Wind Thunder', but he didn't seem to want to be seen by him, so Qingjiu lowered his head again, took out a fiery red crow feather, and floated in the air to practice calligraphy.
It's a little bit of his fetish.
Fortunately, Qingjiu didn't look at him for a long time, and Jin Fenglei didn't look at anyone directly, so he asked for some wine and food and began to eat and drink.
It's just that Jin Fenglei has the 'fine' tradition of Hua Shaoguo, and he also said the same thing as Jiang Qiu when he separated from Wang Sun, and he began to brag to each other after a few glasses of wine.
Therefore, the meal failed to plug their mouths, and after drinking the wine glass, Jin Fenglei instead raised his voice and laughed loudly: "Mouse, do you remember the day we met the Four Treasures of Taizong in Guiliyuan?" ”
Another person smiled: "Of course I remember, that day our brothers found a treasure, it is rumored that as long as you hold the treasure and stand on the earth, you can be invincible, no matter what kind of injury you receive, you can heal quickly, those four pickled goods actually dare to come to us to show off their might and try to seize the treasure, and say that as long as we kowtow, you can let us go." ”
The third person also laughed: "In the end, we play games with them, and only one person can live out of four people, and I really see their ugliness in order to survive." ”
The second person who spoke out joked: "I remember that the last person thought he could live, but he was still killed by you, if it is about the strength level, it is not that I brag, and the four of them together are not as strong as our brother Jin." ”
Jin Fenglei raised his glass and laughed, but his laughter suddenly stopped, because he saw the glass door open, and two orcs walked in, like rain and cold wind blowing in.
The two beasts were almost identical, with the same countenance, the same height, and even the same clothes.
Although the people in the tavern couldn't see their faces, when they saw their dress, they had already guessed the identities of the two, and they all lowered their heads to show respect.
Only Qingjiu's eyes kept staring at the door, because when the door was opened, a crow with a black body but red tail feathers swaggered in, and was stopping in a corner at this time, staring at everyone indifferently.
Qingjiu smiled lightly, and then turned his gaze to the two who came.
I saw two beasts with withered and ugly faces, looking like clay statues of failure, with small ears and large noses, occupying almost a third of a face, but their eyes were vicious and sharp.
There was no deviation in the movements of the two people, they took off the coat on their bodies together, folded the coat slowly together, walked slowly across the counter, and then walked to Jin Fenglei together.
The silence in the tavern was terrifying, as everyone had heard of the Snakebelly Honey Arrow Duo, and it was rumored that the two beasts had a trait that if they did not die at the same time, the other beast would be resurrected in a very short period of time, regardless of the damage it received.
The snake belly and honey arrow stared at Jin Feng Lei tightly, like a steel brush, and carefully brushed Jin Feng Lei's body several times.
Jin Fenglei didn't want to weaken his momentum, so he had to stand up and reluctantly smiled: "The names of the two have long been heard, and I don't know ...... to come here today."
The pale face of the snake suddenly said: "Human, I heard that you are the golden wind thunder of the Golden Lion Gang?" Dare to do it to me? ”
His voice was sharp, rapid, and seemed to be able to smell some kind of fishy sweetness, like the smell of blood, Jin Fenglei heard the hair all over his body, shook his head and said, "Don't dare...... Don't dare ......"
The other beast honey arrow sneered: "Since you don't dare, don't you know that Taizong and his party obeyed the orders of our two brothers?" ”
His hand lightly swiped over the tabletop, leaving three deep and long claw marks, and he said word by word: "Leave what you have received from the original return, and spare your life." ”
The second man, known as the mouse, suddenly stood up, raised his glass and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the two of you are mistaken, how dare we swallow the treasures that have been returned to the original place, they have already been sold, if you want money, the three of us brothers still have some spare money, you see ......"
Before he could finish his words, the hand of the honey arrow had already pressed his head, and he rushed all the way to the wall and gently pressed it, and the mouse was lifeless, and then the blood fell like rain, spreading little by little along the trajectory of the rush.
Everyone's eyes were straight, and their legs seemed to be playing the lute, shaking constantly.
But Jin Fenglei is the deputy leader of a gang, he likes to eat young sheep, and he still has two hands, he suddenly pulled out a long yellow cloth from his waist, twisted it a little and put it flat on the table, and said: "The eyes of the two are really vicious, and our brothers did bring back the treasures that returned to the original, but I think it is not enough for the two of us to take our things." ”
Jin Fenglei smiled gloomily: "The power behind Taizong and his party is you, don't we have it in the Golden Lion Gang?" Isn't it still the strength of your orcs that are still damaged by fighting around? For a treasure, as for it? ”
The orc honey arrow smiled sympathetically, "Who is behind you?" Tell me about it, and see if it scares me? ”
Jin Fenglei said: "The blindness of the Lion Regiment. ”
"Besides, everyone is out to mix, even if you are a beast, you have to abide by the rules, if you want to leak a few hands to convince me of the ability, I will also go back to the errand to show that I am not wronged in losing."
As he said this, the man had stepped back, his eyes staring hard at the wine glass on the table, and the people around him thought he was going to do it, but who would have thought that he would pick up the wine glass and pour all the wine in the glass into the air, and the wine drew an arc over the table.
If it's just a spill, anyone will.
However, this arc is almost a perfect arc, and there is no deviation in sight, and then Jin Fenglei pinched this arc, only to hear the hissing sound of breaking through the air, the white arc is like a sword light, but in the blink of an eye, the square table is divided into six equal parts.
The most surprising thing is that perhaps his arc was too fast, and the table did not fall until the third person did not touch it, and the table fell to the ground with a bang.
Jin Fenglei showed a smug look on his face, "Every time this arc is perfected, the stronger the cutting ability, as long as the two of you can let me see a more intelligent ability than this, I will immediately give the treasure away, otherwise please leave the two of you, there are more than 5,000 people in the lion group, and it is a big threat wherever you put it." ”
His ability is indeed not weak, and his words are beautiful, but Qingjiu secretly said funny, in this way, the competition between the two sides is to see who can cut the table faster and more accurately, instead of cutting his head, otherwise the side of the beast will leave a notoriety of rioting and killing.
Honey Arrow didn't speak, and the snake belly laughed: "The carpenter is good, but this can also be regarded as a threat?" ”
Speaking of this, he took a long breath, slapped each other with the honey arrow, and in the tableware that just landed, all the metal tableware flew lightly, and then the snake belly used a little index finger on the tableware, and the naked eye can see that the metal tableware first turned white and shiny, and then turned red, and then it was the red that represented the high temperature and turned the tableware into molten iron, drop by drop on the ground.
Even those who don't know how strong or weak they are can see which is more difficult, chopping up wooden tables or turning iron cutlery into molten iron.
Jin Fenglei's face was as pale as dirt, because he had roughly guessed what kind of ability the two beasts were, and he had no chance of winning alone, he quietly took a few steps back before he spoke: "Two, I admit defeat, today is my mistake, the baby is on the table, please take it." ”
The snake belly suddenly said: "It's a pity that one of the three of you brothers has died, so play a game?" The two can only live one, and who lives depends on their ability, but there is one point, they can't use their abilities. ”
After speaking, the snake belly threw a table knife in front of Jin Fenglei and the other person, with a faint mocking smile, "I think, even if the lion group comes, we can't leave all of us behind, so you two must participate in this game." ”
Qingjiu sighed silently, "Is this fate?" ”
Jin Fenglei's face was blue and white, he looked at his brother who was following him, and said sadly: "Hurry up, I'll cover you." ”
The other person seemed to be slow to react, and subconsciously responded, "Big brother, you go first." ”
Before he could finish speaking, a dinner knife had already pierced his neck.
He could no longer speak, only giggling.
Jin Fenglei wiped the blood off his hands with his clothes, then took a deep breath and changed it into a smile, "Two, I should be able to leave, right?" ”
The snake belly plucked out his ears and sneered: "But I remember that at the end of your game, you never let anyone go?" ”
Jin Fenglei didn't know whether it was anger or fear, and his body kept shaking.
The hand of the snake belly shook, and there was an extra table knife in his palm, but the light of the knife was as dazzling as a white rainbow, he stood in the middle of the tavern, and said proudly: "If anyone thinks that my disposal is unfair, even stand up, or think that anyone can be stronger than me, I will not only give him the treasure with both hands, but also give him the head." ”
His femme fatale eyes stared around, but no one responded.
This is the current state of Chimei Island.
Either the background is so deep that no one dares to touch it, or the strength is so strong that no one dares to respond, and the people here have learned to keep their heads down and do things, so no one will feel that it is a shameful thing to take refuge in the orcs.
But suddenly someone outside the door shouted, "How much are your heads worth?" ”
