Chapter 293, From the Wasteland to the Desert

Watching the three of them walk away, Duan Wutian touched his big bald head and said, "Qingshi, what are you thinking?" ”

"Stupid donkey!" Chen Tianye said, "Naturally, it's time to make up for the mistakes you made!" ”

"What mistake did I make?" Duan Wutian said with a glare.

"Qingshi was about to convince them to take the money and leave just now," Chen Tianye said, "What kind of mouth do you have?" ”

"That's right!" Duan Wutian said, "I'm just very strange, Qingshi, you bargained with them for three hundred and five hundred, they seemed to have the intention of taking the money and leaving, but I generously gave each of them a thousand, but they didn't appreciate it, but they wanted to fight and kill." Why? ”

"Seventh brother!" Qingshi smiled, "If I give them three hundred and five hundred, they will be tempted, because we are only worth nine hundred in total." Compared with risking and desperately earning nine hundred, picking up five hundred for nothing is most likely to choose the former.

"But if you increase the amount so high all of a sudden, they immediately understand that we are rich people with a lot of money, so killing people and taking money is their only choice, and they don't care about the risk, no matter how big the risk is."

"Oh!" Duan Wutian suddenly realized, and said, "These guys don't have to fight at all, why do you want to buy them?" It's better to just kill it and bury it in the soil. ”

"Bounty hunters aren't the only ones!" "It's easy to kill them, but it's no good. If we buy them, they won't reveal our whereabouts to the rest of the team, lest we be ridiculed. In this way, they will consciously or unconsciously mislead other teams and make us more secretive and secure. ”

"Oh~" Duan Wutian said, "I understand." Now you let the three of them run away because you want them to be mistaken for us by other teams, this is a ploy to divert the tiger from the mountain, right? ”

"Oops!" Chen Tianye exaggeratedly exclaimed, "Duan Bald, your big bald head is finally enlightened!" ”

"That's it!" Duan Wutian was triumphant, but asked suspiciously, "Are you praising me or scolding me?" ”

"Alright!" Qingshi smiled, "My move is to disturb other people's sight, and it is barely enough to say that it is to divert the tiger from the mountain." Now, we're going to transform into a squad of bounty hunters! This should be called...... Well...... Makeover, hide from the world! ”

Bluestone took out those metal signs and found that there were a total of twelve, it seems that this Fuya team was originally more than seven people, and it should have been five before tonight.

After taking a closer look, Qingshi decided to steal the identities of three of them, his name was Haiya, Chen Tianye's name was Mangju, and Duan Wutian's name was Ke Suyun.

The trio took off their robes and changed into local style suits, and put on a hooded cape over it. These clothes were all obtained from the bald man, and almost all of his own men were unclothed, but the various clothes in his storage were piled up.

The three of them changed into new clothes, and each of them carried a bow and a sword. Aoshi learns from Fomako that demon bounty hunters like to bring evil beasts as helpers, and humans like to use puppet assistants. So, Qingshi took out two 'puppet guards' and modified them, and took out the two crossbow machines of a ballista puppet and installed them. In this way, they are very much like a team of professional bounty hunters, and of course, they have a name for their team: Tianxuanmen.

Two days later, the three-person team of Tianxuanmen came to the eastern edge of the Great Wasteland, and could already see the rolling sand dunes in the east, according to the map provided by Daddy Bai, the east of the Great Wasteland is a large desert, and the environment is no less harsh than the Great Wasteland, but there are more than a dozen large and small oases in this desert with a radius of tens of thousands of miles, therefore, there are several trade routes that run through the north and south in the desert, and there are many inns and post stations along the road.

Since it was a professional team of bounty hunters, there was naturally no need to rush at night, and the three of them set off early in the morning, and it was not until nearly noon that the three of them found a big ravine, ready to go in to avoid the scorching sun and sand.

Qingduan Chen and the three jumped into the bottom of the dry ditch, while the two puppets remained on it. Chen Tianye took out a piece of canvas and hung it on the branch of a dead tree on the cliff wall, set up a pergola, and was about to sit down on the ground to rest, when Qingshi suddenly shouted: "Who? Come out! ”

I saw a lean man poking his head out from behind a big rock, and said with a smile on his face: "Passerby, rest here for a while." ”

"What's your name?" Qingshi grinned and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

"The three good men have been invited," the man said, "and in Xia Baoxi, it is the messenger sent by King Hulun to the Seven Elders of the Ten Thousand Immortals League, Yueshan Daxian. ”

"Since it's the Messenger!" Qingshi said, "Why don't you take the big road and come here?" ”

"Hey, hey!" The man laughed dryly a few times and said, "Why don't you take the official road?" Everyone has their own way of walking, so why bother asking. ”

"Huh!" Qingshi smiled and said, "We are bounty hunters, and we came here precisely to arrest those criminals who have committed crimes and are hiding in Tibet and dare not take the main road, such as ...... Guys like you. ”

"How can it be!" The man was furious, "Why are you planting a false accusation indiscriminately? I am the man of King Hulun, and I will not allow you to be insulted! I was on a journey for a few days, and I wanted to find a quiet place to take a nap, but I didn't expect to meet a few of you unreasonable people, hum! I don't know what to say! ”

After speaking, the lean man turned around and took a leap to the ground, and his body was so fast that it greatly surprised Qingshi.

"Catch him!" Bluestone let out a loud cry and flew up. Duan Chen and the others naturally followed.

The man jumped out of the ditch, and was about to run wildly, when a string of crossbow arrows came at him, and he quickly dodged to avoid them, but the crossbow arrows came so fast and numerous that he drew a scimitar to block while dodging. These crossbow arrows were naturally fired by the two puppets of Bluestone.

The man was dodging and resisting the crossbow arrows, and he was overwhelmed, and Qingshi and the other three had already surrounded him. As soon as Bluestone raised his hand, the two puppets stopped shooting and began to pick up the crossbow arrows that had fallen to the ground on their own.

"What are you going to do?" The man exclaimed, "Do you dare to rob King Hulun's letters?" ”

"If you are really the messenger of King Hulun," Qingshi smiled, "we will naturally let you go and apologize to you." However, I always feel that I have seen you somewhere, maybe on top of the wanted warrant! ”

As he spoke, Qingshi raised his hand and took out a large stack of wanted notices, and began to pretend to compare them.

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you," the man scolded, "Get out of the way!" ”

He shook his hands, and a large piece of black light hit the three of Qingduan Chen, and he jumped up again, flying to the side, this man not only has outstanding skills, but the black light and dark weapon launched is even more powerful, and its combat power is even higher than Fuya. It's a pity that he met the three of Qingduan Chen.

Wu Guang naturally did not hit the three of them, and it was naturally impossible for the man to escape from the encirclement of the three of them, as soon as his body moved, he suddenly felt a chill under his ribs, and fell to the ground with a soft foot, but he was hit by Chen Tianye's sword.

Qingshi looked at the wanted notice, walked forward and squatted, raised his hand to turn the man over, looked at it carefully, and shook a few black steel poison needles in front of his eyes, and then held up a wanted notice.

"What a terrible drawing!" Qingshi shook his head with a smile, and then read, "Xi Bao, male, Jin Dan Seventh Section, thin and small, snake-eyed and eagle-nosed, with a two-foot-long scar from the left shoulder to the left breast. He is good at refining a scimitar and a black steel poison needle. In the 373rd year of Shenmu Xinyuan, this thief poisoned and killed the lord of Haolu and six of his family members, and killed 37 men, women, and children of his slaves...... Bounty, alive, four hundred high-grade spirit stones, dead, two hundred and fifty! ”

"Hahaha!" Chen Tianye said with a smile, "Sure enough, he is a wanted criminal, and the bonus is quite high!" ”

"Hahaha!" Duan Wutian also laughed, "Do you still say that you are a messenger?" As he spoke, Duan Wutian reached out and tore open his shirt on the left side, revealing a shocking scar.

"You damn ......" That Xi Bao knew that he was in danger, and opened his mouth to scold, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was slapped by Qingshi and fainted.

"Okay," Qingshi said with a smile, "Now that it's all done, we don't have to walk through the wilderness anymore, and we take the big road instead." ”

"I said bluestone," Duan Wutian said, "how do you know this guy's wanted criminal?" You didn't read those wanted notices beforehand. ”

"Guess!" Chen Tianye said, "This guy is hiding in this kind of place, and he is naturally a wanted criminal like us." ”

"Not necessarily," Qingshi said, "but since we have met him, it is natural to play such a play, if he is a wanted criminal, he will send us a disguise." If he is not, we will pretend to interrogate him, so that he will not suspect that we are wanted criminals and reveal our whereabouts. ”

The three of them began to turn due north, and they walked in front at random, two puppets following closely behind, one of them carrying a hemp bag on his shoulder, which naturally contained Xi Bao.

After walking for more than ten miles, the team turned onto an east-west avenue. Then he walked along the avenue, and soon walked out of the Great Wasteland and began to enter the Great Ancient Desert.

Two more days had passed, and the three of them had gone deep into the desert along the road that had been hidden and had come and gone, and just after noon that day, they had climbed over another large sand dune, and at last they saw a large area of yellow and green in front of them.

Bluestone took out his binoculars and took a closer look, and found that it was an oasis, where there were not only green areas with sparse shrubs and wild grasses, but also hundreds of strange-shaped trees.

At the edge of the woods, there was a two-story stone and wood house, with a flat roof and a large scale, and people could be vaguely seen moving in the courtyard outside.

"Do you want to go over?" Duan Wutian said, "Why don't you go around it." ”

"Yes!" Chen Tianye said, "It looks like an inn, and it is estimated that many people will gather there to replenish water and food, and we are not short of anything, so there is no need to go there." ”

"No," Qingshi thought for a moment and said, "Since we have already discovered it, it is estimated that the people there are likely to find us, but if we go over, we will seem to be weak-minded, maybe it will attract pursuit, so let's go over!" ”

An hour later, the three of them walked into this desert oasis and came to the big house, and saw a wooden signboard hanging on the door wall, engraved with the four big characters of the North and South Inn.

When I walked through the gate, I saw that the huge courtyard was covered with yellow sand, and the low fence was full of broken items such as wheels and rusty iron pots.

Under a simple grass hut stood a dozen or so strange-shaped puppets, which looked much the same as Fuya's two ballista puppets, and in terms of the refinement of workmanship, they were far worse than the two humanoid puppets of Bluestone.

Qingshi knew that the puppet technique of the Shenmu Continent was not too bad, but they focused on practicality and did not pursue the appearance of resemblance to people. In addition, their magic skills are very poor, and they have neither a storage device with a lot of space, nor a spell that can fit large items into a special storage device, and a slightly larger puppet cannot be put into the storage device.

Bluestone asked the two puppet guards to walk under the pergola on their own, release Xi Bao, and then walk to the door. Chen Tianye lifted the thick door curtain, Qingshi walked into the house, and Duan Wutian followed behind with Xi Bao.

The space in the room is large, with more than a dozen large square tables and dozens of benches, dimly lit and smelling bad.

Qingshi swept his eyes and found that there were at least thirty people in the room, most of whom were fierce and fierce people, and they were divided into seven or eight tables to sit. Behind a long counter, three people dressed as shopkeepers stood.

The room was originally quite lively, and many people were talking and laughing loudly, but as soon as they entered, almost everyone stopped talking and looked at them together.

The four of them walked to an empty table and sat down on all sides.

A guy walked over from behind the counter and said with a blank face, "What do the guests need?" ”

"Hmm~" Chen Tianye was afraid that he would say something wrong, so he asked rhetorically, "What do you all have here?" ”

"We want wine," Duan Wutian said loudly, "You just need to bring a few jars of good wine." ”

"Wine!" The guy was stunned for a moment, and then sneered, "You regard our inn as the Lord Asgard?" I can't fill my stomach these days, who the has extra food to use it to make wine? Besides, can you afford even if you have alcohol? You're here on purpose, aren't you? ”

"Is your grandmother looking for a cigarette?" Duan Wutian was furious, "Dare to talk to grandpa like this? "If you get past that guy, you're going to beat him.

Chen Tianye hurriedly stopped him, scolded him in a low voice and asked him not to cause trouble, and Duan Wutian sat down angrily. After he sat down, he wanted to move the wine himself, but Qingshi glared at him sternly, and he realized that something was wrong, so he had to give up.

"Water! All we need is clear water. Qingshi smiled slightly, and said to the guy, "My brother was dazed by the sun, probably dreaming that he had already handed over someone and received a bounty, so he wanted to eat and drink spicy!" Hey, wake up! This is not the fairy capital, we are still in the desert! The last sentence was naturally said to Duan Wutian.

"Even if it's in Xiandu!" I heard a rough man at the table next to him laugh and said, "You prey bounty can't drink a few bowls of good wine!" ”

Everyone laughed, Xi Bao was in flail and shackles, and everyone naturally knew that he was the prey.

Duan Wutian had a bad seizure, so he had to touch his bald head in embarrassment, and pretended to giggle a few times. When the man saw this, he went back with a stinking face, and soon brought a large jar of water, but he only carried it in his hand and did not put it on the table.

"Five hundred spirit stones!" The guy said, "Give the money." ”

"Grandma," Duan Wutian became clever this time, took out a money bag and counted out five medium-grade spirit stones, slapped them on the table with a snap, and scolded with a smile, "This is more expensive than wine!" ”

There was another burst of laughter from the crowd, and they all said that it was true.

The guy took the spirit stone with a straight face, and then put the big jug on the table and turned to go. Seeing that no one seemed to suspect their identity, Qingduan Chen and the three of them all took bowls to pour water to drink, and the lively atmosphere in the store was restored.
