Chapter 376: First Contact
Hu Ying and his entourage took the unconscious Wang Lun back to the village they accidentally discovered when they were doing the task before, and then found a relatively secluded small courtyard to settle down, and Gong Xiangdong set up a warning array, and this setting was also directly set up double, one was placed on the periphery of the village, which belonged to the warning and defensive formation, and the other was set on the periphery of the courtyard, this time it was directly a magic circle that triggered the counterattack, and Gong Xiangdong, a strong man in the middle of the transformation realm, shot directly, The power is also self-evident. After setting up these two insurances, Hu Ying and the others began to cultivate in this courtyard.
Just when they were cultivating, the major families in Houtu City also decided to recruit Wang Lun and their team, which was not ordinarily strong in combat effectiveness, and the people sent to recruit were naturally those who had been following Wang Lun and them, but since Wang Lun and they returned to Houtu City, these people scattered and returned to the family to report the situation, and they didn't leave anyone to keep an eye on Wang Lun's movements, in fact, it's not that they don't want to, but if they don't know how to deal with it on the family side, if they keep an eye on it too closely, In case of startling the snake, it will be difficult to explain what happened, don't look at these people who don't like each other, but they are still very consistent in dealing with things, at least in dealing with this matter, it is quite consistent. But the consequence of this is that no one is staring at them is that they have completely lost Wang Lun and their movements, as for the later Wang Lun and their battles, after all, they are in a house that has been abandoned for an unknown amount of time, and the location is not obvious, so there is not much movement, in this world, although there are not many cultivators, but they are not few, and they do not get along with each other much, and it is not uncommon for them to fight if they disagree, as long as they do not hurt the innocent, The patrols on the city lord's side will not interfere, firstly, these people are basically ordinary people, and there are almost no cultivators, and secondly, it is also for the sake of a mutual face.
Since the family wanted to recruit this team, but the goal was lost, these stalkers remembered a place, which was this village. However, this time they wanted to take the initiative to contact Wang Lun and them, and it was a little inappropriate to stare in the dark, so they revealed their identities one after another, and then swaggered into the village. Some of these people were cultivators, and the alert array set up by Gong Xiangdong outside the village was responsive to the entry of cultivators, and suddenly there were warnings in all directions, which scared Hu Ying and the three of them enough, but they didn't hear a panicked sound outside, so Hu Ying went out to investigate, and found out about the existence of these people.
"The situation outside is a little complicated, but it can be seen that they are coming for us, but they don't seem to want to destroy this village, and they are relatively polite to the villagers, and it can be seen that some of these people don't like each other, and even say that there are contradictions that can be fought, but they are trying their best to restrain themselves, and they don't seem to want to make any noise. Our group hasn't been in Houtu City for a long time, and we happened to find this village, but these people in Houtu City shouldn't have said that they just discovered this side, even if they just discovered this side, then it can be determined that they came with us, so I deduce that these people must have come for us, but now I don't know what they want to do, what are their intentions? ”
"This ......" After Hu Ying finished talking about the situation outside, the three of them were silent, but soon Shi Qiang broke the silent atmosphere, "I think I understand, it must be that we are a little too ostentatious when we are doing tasks, so it has attracted the attention of the big family of this Thick Earth City, you think that such a mysterious place has appeared in this Thick Earth City, and the major families are also very eager to find out what is inside, but the situation of Thick Earth City is here, basically it is mainly based on yellow sand, and it can be said that resources are quite scarce, Some of the combat power that the big family of Houtu City has cultivated with great difficulty must be unwilling to fold in such a place full of unknown dangers, so they must need to use external forces to complete the work of exploration, which is why there are so many wandering cultivators in Houtu City, among the three of us, I won't say it myself, the cultivation and strength of the two of you are also among the best among the wandering cultivators, so these families will definitely send people to contact us, and even promise heavy profits to recruit us. ”
Hu Ying nodded, "What you said is very reasonable, according to this idea, we can be regarded as fragrant and gluttonous now, and now these outsiders in the village must be the first batch of people who came to talk about the mouth, since they are here, then they can't be allowed to return empty-handed, not to mention that our mission is only to explore the situation inside this mysterious cave that suddenly appeared, but it does not stipulate that we cannot rely on external forces, and we are already a little too ostentatious, if we still have no backers." , It's hard to say what will happen later, now Wang Lun is in a coma, although it is caused by excessive force, but he will not wake up for a while and a half, we have no way to put himself here alone, so it is better to find these backers to talk about the conditions, so as to delay some time. ”
Shi Qiang and the two of them also nodded in agreement, but the matter of contacting these people outside was still handed over to Shi Qiang, if you want to talk about combat power, Hu Ying and Gong Xiangdong must be no problem, but if it is about brain power, no one in their group can stand out, Shi Qiang, don't forget, that is an authentic scout, playing routines, if he is all into the routine, then even if Hu Ying and them are on it, it will be in vain.
In the case that both sides are interested in contact, soon, Shi Qiang and the people from all walks of life who have entered the village to inquire about their news are connected, after all, the family of Houtu City can be regarded as a big family, and there will definitely be conflicts in the interests of the family, and they themselves are very aware of this matter, in order to avoid Shi Qiang and his group of people from extorting bamboo when they contact one by one, they unanimously decided to contact Shi Qiang together, so that the hole cards of the major families are transparent, even if they can't negotiate, they won't lose too much, What's more, to recruit these four masters who don't know the details, there is no need to take out all the things at the bottom of the box.
In this way, Shi Qiang and they met in a relatively open courtyard, and as soon as they met, the representatives sent by the families of Houtu City directly said the purpose of this trip, Shi Qiang was not very surprised because he had guessed this matter before, but after a little contemplation, he said: "Since the purpose of everyone is the same, then let's make it clear, I and the four of us came here because of the appearance of a mysterious cave in the precious land, and according to rumors, This cave is likely to be left by a great god in ancient times, that is to say, in this cave, it is very likely that there will be a great god's inheritance or treasure or the like, and the city lord also widely issued hero posts, attracting people from various cities to explore, so the goal of our trip is this, but we are not familiar with this place, I hope to find a family with a background as a dependent, but the premise is that we are a cooperative relationship, not an employment relationship, for the cooperative relationship, That is, we can promise to bring a group of people and horses into the cave, but only ensure the safety of one of the most important people, and this team cannot be twice as large as us, nor can it have a higher cultivation than the highest cultivation person in my team, and we will not interfere with any treasure found by this team, and if it does not threaten our lives, we will protect this team. ”
After hearing Shi Qiang's request, these people immediately fell silent, and Shi Qiang also sneered on the side when he saw this scene and did not speak, in fact, this is very simple, the purpose of these people coming to Shi Qiang is actually to find them as thugs, protect the good seedlings in their family, and then go into the depths of the cave to explore, so that these good seedlings can get inheritance or treasure and enhance their combat power. Instead of what Shi Qiang said, it is cooperation, and Shi Qiang also proposed that there should be no more people in the team than they cultivated, which is obviously to hold this team of people hostage, since they are good seedlings, it is generally the hope of the family's future, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is even the heir, who will rest assured that the future of their family will be handed over to these four people who don't know the details?
Shi Qiang waited for a while, and after seeing that no one showed the intention of making a decision on the spot, Shi Qiang also clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention, "Okay, I also see everyone's difficulties, let's be honest, in fact, none of you here today are people who can call the shots, but the family behind you sent them to contact first, but everyone thinks about the same, so they also gathered here, so let's see it personally, There won't be any abnormalities in this mysterious place for a while, why don't you all go back and discuss it with your own family, let's book it three days later, if your family helmsman is interested in cooperating, let's still meet in this courtyard, what do you think? ”
When everyone heard this, they were not verbose, and they got up to say goodbye, and Shi Qiang also sent him off with a smile, until the whole courtyard was empty, Shi Qiang did not leave in a hurry, but looked at a corner where no one had been at all.
"This friend, since you've already come over, why don't you show up and meet you?" Shi Qiang said to the "air".
He's not insane, but there's a guy hiding here.
