Chapter 214: Blackmail

Chiyang Avenue is the only "safe road" in the flood wilderness area, there are at least a dozen checkpoints on this Chiyang Avenue, each checkpoint will have a checkpoint set by several sects, they say that it is to stabilize the safety of this area, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is to collect protection fees to make extra money.

In this regard, many passers-by are not angry about this, after all, every time they cross a distance, they will enter the checkpoints set by some sects and have to pay money, but those passers-by dare not be angry, after all, this Chiyang Avenue is the safest road in the entire Honghuang region, as long as you pay the money, you can be safe. On the contrary, you can do it without paying, but it won't let you pass. So those who are not angry can only pay the money helplessly for the sake of safety.

And in this area, there are a total of three major sects of people who have built a checkpoint here, and it is stipulated that people from another sect will be stationed here every ten days, and these days a sect called Ye Quangu is guarding here.

At this time, there were a total of ten people stationed here, and the leader of these people was named Zhu Xiaobo, but he was in a very unhappy mood in the past few days.

Originally, this level was a place to fish for oil and water, after all, this place was the only way to the Abyss Forest, whether it was to collect elixir or hunt spirit beasts, you had to pass through here.

And when Zhu Xiaobo heard that Ye Quangu's people wanted him to come and garrison here, he was very happy. You must know that in this place, under normal circumstances, he can receive at least a thousand gold coins in ten days, and he can completely deduct one or two hundred gold coins from his own pocket.

But who knows, during this period of time, all the spirit beasts in the Abyss Forest went crazy one by one, attacking people when they saw them, and many others did not dare to go inside. For fear of misfortune, only a small number of powerful people will enter it, and the total number of gold coins he has harvested in the past few days is less than two hundred, so it is strange that he can be in a good mood.

A few days ago, he saw a few people coming out of the Abyss Forest, and he originally wanted to blackmail him. But who knew that the other party was a person with status, and he couldn't help it, so he just symbolically received a few gold coins, which made him feel even worse.

Nima, I don't know what the hell the spirit beasts in the abyss forest are doing recently, what kind of madness is it for some reason, and the old man who is harmed has so little income, how can I explain to the valley master, alas......

Zhu Xiaobo was indignant in his heart. While drinking with his head down, he habitually raised his eyes to see Arimu passing by, and just when he looked up, he saw three teenagers walking towards him.

I saw that the proportions of the three teenagers were very distinct, one in the middle was a thin teenager with a little evil face, while the other two were strong and sturdy, and they were not easy to bully at first glance, and the other was a little fat man who was about the same size as him.

The three people who came towards them were, of course, Ling Tian, Wu Chen, and Yao Fatzi. The three of them had just hidden their storage rings before they arrived at this level not long ago.

And Zhu Xiaobo's eyes lit up when he saw Ling Tian and the others. His eyes emitted the light of gold coins, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a wicked smile, and he stood up directly from a chair and shouted at Ling Tian and the others, "Hey, you three, stop me!"

Ling Tianzheng was laughing with Wu Chen, when he suddenly heard Zhu Xiaobo's shout. He stopped, looked up, and saw Zhu Xiaobo walking towards them with a sinister smile on his face, carrying a wine gourd.

Seeing this, Ling Tian raised his eyebrows slightly. smiled at the fat man beside him: "Heh, I said fat man, that guy can't be your brother, right?

The fat man rolled his eyes and scolded: "Let your mother fart, that guy will be my brother? You don't look at how ugly he looks, how handsome I am fat man, how can it be brother!"

Although his voice was not deliberately raised, it was just the usual volume of speech, but Zhu Xiaobo still heard it, and the original evil smile on his face froze, became very ugly, and then became gloomy again, he originally only wanted ten gold coins for one person, but now when he heard the fat man say this, he wanted to blackmail!

"Where did you come from, where are you going?" Although Zhu Xiaobo said this to Ling Tian and the three of them, his outstretched finger was pointed at the fat man, obviously he was preparing to find trouble with the fat man.

"Hehe, we're going to Southridge College, and we're students there. Wu Chen was really afraid that the fat man and that Zhu Xiaobo would clash and cause unnecessary trouble, so he spoke before the fat man spoke.

"Nanling Academy?" Zhu Xiaobo's face changed slightly, he knew that this Nanling Academy had a resounding reputation in the Hehong Desolate Domain, even he Ye Quangu's valley master didn't dare to provoke easily, and although Ling Tian and them were just students, they were not something that a little minion like him could afford to provoke.

However, when he thought that the fat man said that he was very ugly before, Zhu Xiaobo felt very annoyed, although he was not a very important person in Ye Quangu, but he was also a small leader, and his subordinates were usually polite to him, although he himself admitted that he was a little ugly, and it was not his turn to be very ugly, and when was a teenager who said that he was ugly?

So he snorted coldly, and deliberately found fault and said, "You said that you are from Nanling Academy, do you have any evidence?"

Since he had only come here to guard in the past few days, he didn't know that Wu Chen had entered the Abyss Forest a few days before he came, so he couldn't recognize Wu Chen as someone from Nanling Academy.

"Absolutely. Wu Chen frowned, he could already see that this Zhu Xiaobo was deliberately finding fault, and he thought that the other party was just a little unhappy after hearing the fat man's words, but he didn't expect to be aggressive.

In fact, don't look at Wu Chen who looks honest, in fact, his temper is not very good, it belongs to a strong temper, just a little bit, if you play hard with him, he will really compete with you.

Immediately, he didn't give Zhu Xiaobo any good looks, took out the student ID card of Nanling Academy made of resin from his arms, shook it in front of Zhu Xiaobo's eyes, and snorted coldly: "See?"

As soon as Zhu Xiaobo saw the card in Wu Chen's hand, his face changed, although his status was not very high, he still recognized this kind of card. He has seen a lot of this resin college card before, how can he not recognize it?

I didn't expect these people to be students of Southridge College, and it seems that they won't be able to make some extra money this time. Zhu Xiaobo said in his heart.

However, his heart was still very unhappy, and after seeing the sneering face of the fat man on the side, his mood was even more unhappy, and he was very annoyed that the fat man said that he was ugly. He deliberately made things difficult and said, "What about yours?"

"Me?" The fat man was stunned, he didn't expect this Zhu Xiaobo to do such an extra thing, but he really didn't have any proof, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.

"What? you can't be nothing, right?" Zhu Xiaobo didn't expect that his superfluous actions would be crooked, but he obviously didn't realize this, in his mind, since Wu Chen was a student of Nanling Academy, then the little fat man in front of him must also be, although he saw that the fat man's face was a little ugly, but he didn't think much about it. I thought it was the fat man who was upset because of his own targeting.

At this time, Ling Tian, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly said out loud: "Our student was accidentally lost when he was stuck in the Abyss Forest to perform a mission, and now we can't prove it, if you have to pursue it, we can also pay first, but it's best not to delay our time, otherwise it will be difficult to say if the academy investigates and knows that it was you who influenced us to carry out the task." ”

Ling Tian also felt that Zhu Xiaobo in front of him was quite annoying, although there was still a long time before the academy enrolled. But Ling Tian didn't want to be delayed here because of this trivial matter, it was because he said this.

Zhu Xiaobo heard Ling Tian's voice and looked at him. He hadn't cared about Ling Tian before, but now when he saw Ling Tian, he suddenly felt that this person seemed to be very difficult to deal with, but what he felt a little strange was that Ling Tian was actually holding a white cat...... This made him a little surprised, but for what Ling Tian said before, he immediately began to hesitate.

He's trying to find trouble with the fat man, yes. But he obviously regarded the fat man and Ling Tian as real students of Nanling Academy.

And he also knew that Nanling College had always arranged for students to do tasks, and there had been a few blind people who delayed the students of Nanling College to do tasks in the past, which finally led to the failure of the other party's mission, and in the end, although Nanling College did not directly blame those who belonged to a certain sect, but that sect was afraid of being retaliated against. And directly killed those few people who delayed the task of the trainees, leaving aside the relationship, indicating that this was not their doing.

Zhu Xiaobo didn't want to end up like those blind guys, but in his heart he was very unhappy with Ling Tian's tone, aren't you just a student of Nanling Academy, you dare to be so arrogant with Lao Tzu!

Immediately snorted coldly, and said in a somewhat tough tone: "Hmph, since you have opened your mouth, then ten gold coins per person, hurry up and get out of Lao Tzu after paying!"

"Huh...... Good. Ling Tian smiled coldly, didn't say any nonsense, took out a small cloth bag from his arms, and gave it to Zhu Xiaobo directly: "Then, here are twenty-five gold coins." ”

As soon as Zhu Xiaobo received the bag containing the gold coins, his brows furrowed slightly, because he only felt that his tentacles were cold, but after hearing Ling Tian say that there were twenty-five gold coins in it, he automatically ignored this strange feeling.

It's just that he didn't know that he would be in pain for the next few days, because the cold touch just now was actually a cold aura. And this cold aura has entered his body, and he will be tormented by this cold aura in the next few days!

Ling Tian felt that this Zhu Xiaobo was very annoying, so he planned to punish him a little.

Zhu Xiaobo obviously didn't know this, and he flipped the bag of gold coins in his hand, and there was a hint of triumphant smile on his face.

Because he originally thought that Ling Tian would not give him so many gold coins, but would not give him a gold coin according to the rules, but he didn't think that Ling Tian would really give him so much, he knew the truth that he would accept it when he saw it, what he was doing was just money, and now that he had earned it, if he went to Ling Tian to trouble them again, then he would be in trouble......

So he didn't say anything more, and directly stuffed the cloth bag containing the gold coins into his arms, and then a smile appeared on his face, made way for him, and said with a smile: "Haha, since that's the case, I won't delay your time, a few of you go." ”

The three of them didn't say much anymore, and walked directly to the front, and after the three of them walked out of a distance, the fat man said to Ling Tian with some displeasure: "I said Brother Tian, why did you give that kid money? That guy obviously wants to blackmail us, why did you pay the money?!"

"Hehe, we're new here, so if we can avoid trouble, we should avoid it as little as possible. Ling Tian smiled indifferently, and then a strange smile appeared on his face: "Besides, it's not so easy to blackmail my money!"

Neither the fat man nor Wu Chen understood what Ling Tian meant by this, and they both looked at Ling Tian with some confusion.

Ling Tian shrugged his shoulders and didn't explain anything, but said, "Okay, don't think about that, let's go, find a place to settle down first, I haven't taken a shower for several days, and my body is weird and uncomfortable." (To be continued......)
