520. Chapter 517 Protection Tax

In the main cave hall of Biluo Cave, baskets of pearls, corals and other seabed specialties were piled up all over the place, although he was very shocked in his heart, Du Long still tried his best to show an indifferent appearance.

"That...... Patriarch Yu Liang!I don't know what price these goods in Guidong are going to sell?!" Du Long looked at the seabed specialties all over the ground, and asked a relatively low-level question, how could he still have the appearance of a shrewd businessman.

"Presumably Brother Jin also saw it, these goods are carefully selected by my people, look at these pearls, they are full and round, and they are big, look at those corals, all of them are the most precious red corals, with unique shapes and jade-like textures......" Yu Liang, the mermaid patriarch, obviously not the first time to sell things to undersea merchants, began to praise his goods endlessly.

After spending a lot of saliva like this, he finally said to the point: "Since my clansmen have taken out all the high-grade goods this time, therefore, let's exchange a piece of low-grade spirit crystal for a basket!"

"A piece of low-grade spirit crystal in exchange for a basket of these jewels?!" Du Long's eyes widened in astonishment, and Xia Qinglian on the side also looked a little incredulous.

"Well...... If Brother Jin is not satisfied with the price, we can still discuss a little bit......" Yu Liang, the mermaid patriarch, obviously misunderstood Du Long's meaning, and thought that the price he quoted was too high, so he hurriedly changed his words: "If you purchase more this time, then it is not a problem for us to be cheaper by one or two percent!"

"Patriarch Yu Liang, don't say anything, I want all these in the hall!" Du Long waved his hand and said, "As for the price, your life is not easy, and you don't need to be cheaper, just exchange a piece of low-grade spirit crystal for a basket!"

"Uh......" This time it was the turn of countless mermaids and krakens at the scene to be dumbfounded, the businessmen who came to Biluo Cave to buy seafood have always tried their best to lower the price, today is good, there is a person who not only does not lower the price, but also takes the initiative to make profits? !

You must know that normally, the wholesale price of each basket of these jewels is between half a piece of lower grade spirit crystal to one piece, and the price difference mainly depends on the quality!

And Du Long didn't look at the jewelry items at the bottom of the basket at all, so he decided to buy all the goods on the scene at the highest wholesale price in the usual way?!

"Golden ...... Brother Kim!...... No...... Don't you want to check the goods?!" At this moment, Yu Liang, the mermaid patriarch, was already so excited that he couldn't even speak.

"No need! There are a total of one hundred and thirty-six baskets of goods here, give it! These are two medium-grade spirit crystals!" Under the scanning of the ring spirit beauty, Du Long knew very well that the quality of the more than a hundred baskets of jewelry taken out by these simple mermaid demons was absolutely fine, and he also generously paid the money to prepare to receive the goods.

With trembling hands, he took over the two medium-grade spirit crystals, and the mermaid patriarch Yu Liang said with an embarrassed face: "This is ...... Brother Jin, dare to ask if you have any spirit crystal coins or low-grade spirit crystals? We can't distribute these medium-grade spirit crystals...... Besides, we can't find it!"

"Okay! no problem!" Du Long nodded briskly, walked directly to the hall, waved his hand and swept the baskets of pearls in front of him into a space ring specially used to hold goods, and then left the basket woven by the sea vine luo containing pearls.

I saw him wave his hand again, and there was a crisp sound in the main cave hall, and soon, the two baskets were filled with spirit crystal coins, and Du Long turned his head to Yu Liang and grinned: "Hehe, Patriarch Yu Liang, there are a total of thirteen thousand six hundred spirit crystal coins here, you count them, if there is no problem, then I will receive the goods!"

Yu Liang, the mermaid patriarch who came to his senses, hurriedly returned the two medium-grade spirit crystals in his hand to Du Long, and then began to arrange for people to count the spirit crystal coins in the basket, and the mermaid men and women who were responsible for counting the spirit crystal coins had their eyes shining brightly, and they seemed to have never seen the use of baskets to load spirit crystal coins, which was the same as the feeling that Du Long was used by them to load jewelry in the basket just now!

The currency of the underwater world is the same as the human world, it is also a gold coin, and the upper is the spirit crystal coin, and then the upper and lower grade spirit crystals, don't underestimate a low-grade spirit crystal, that is a hundred spirit crystal coins, 10,000 gold coins!

If the quality of a basket of jewelry is poor, the loss is a matter of minutes, of course, the goods collected by Du Long today will definitely not lose money, and if they are sold in the human world, they will definitely be able to earn several times, or even dozens of times!

Although he really wants to help these mermaids and give more money, he must also help people a little bit, otherwise, his so-called businessman's identity will definitely arouse suspicion!

After a group of mermaids and men counted the number of spirit crystal coins, Du Long casually put a basket of jewels into a space ring dedicated to storing goods!

"Haha! Prepare for the dinner, I want to entertain the two bold businessmen!" Yu Liang, who was particularly satisfied with this transaction, commanded in public, and immediately a mermaid was ordered to go down to prepare the dinner.

"Brother Jin! I really didn't expect you! You are such a bold maritime merchant, in short, in the future, the top goods produced in my Biluo Cave, Yu Liang will definitely leave it to you, as long as you are willing, from now on, we are willing to supply you with the best quality goods for a long time!"

"Hehe, Patriarch Yu Liang is polite, to be honest! The quality of this batch of goods in Guidong is really good! Recently, Chifeng Palace has established business contacts with the human world, and the prices of various undersea specialties have soared, and I have made a lot of money this time!"

"Having said that! There are tens of thousands of miles from this cave to Chifeng Palace, and there are many dangers in the sea along the way, although the merchants under the sea make money, it is not easy to make this money! For the children of the mermaid clan in Biluo Cave, as long as there are spirit crystals that can speed up their cultivation and growth, and they can survive with peace of mind, they are very satisfied!" Yu Liang, the leader of the mermaid clan, instead explained the difficulties of the merchants under the sea.

This business is done, it is estimated that the mermaids in Biluo Cave have encountered such a situation for the first time, in the past, trading with the sea, the other party would always say how difficult it was for themselves, but now it is good, everything is reversed!

Soon, a sumptuous wine banquet was placed in the Biluo Cave!

Drink the wine made from the local unique sea fruits, and eat a variety of seafood and a few refreshing sea vegetables raised by the mermaid tribe, the unique food makes Du Long and Xia Qinglian move their appetites and eat with relish!

"Report ......" Just as the guests and hosts were gathering for a feast, a hurried voice came from outside the main cave hall, and then a mermaid guard with a steel fork rushed in in a panic.

"Why are you so flustered?!Don't you see a distinguished guest in the cave?!" On the main seat, the mermaid patriarch Yu Liang looked at this guy who rushed in to report the news dissatisfied.

"Patriarch! they ...... They came, and the trio led a group of masters to rush in! They were confronting our people outside, and they demanded that the patriarch pay the protection tax as soon as possible, otherwise he would ...... It's going to slaughter our Biluo Cave!" the mermaid guards finally explained the cause and effect clearly.

"Alas, it's time to come after all! Fortunately, this time there is the income from the purchase of a large number of goods by the Jin brothers, otherwise it will ......" On the main seat, Yu Liang stood up after a long sigh.

"Patriarch Yu Liang, I don't know how much protection tax these people have to charge?!" Du Long said curiously: "Is it just given away?!"

"The last time someone came to say that they wanted us to prepare 10,000 spirit crystal coins, if we don't give them away, I'm afraid that the countless clansmen in my Biluo Cave will ...... Alas, it's better to spend money on peace...... Who told us that our arms can't twist other people's thighs?!" Yu Liang sighed and said, "Please wait a while, Brother Jin, I will go out and pay this protection tax, and I will continue to drink and feast with you when I come back!"

"Anyway, I can't sit still here, so it's better to go outside with the patriarch and take a look!" Du Long would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity, so he stood up, and Xia Qinglian on the side naturally followed.

Yu Liang naturally would not refuse Du Long's request, so he led Du Long and his wife, as well as a large group of adult men of the mermaid clan, to rush out of the Biluo Cave in full armament.

Dozens of meters above the sea field, the sea surface is dyed golden red by the sunset, and the sea water is also dyed golden red, which is beautiful!

At the bottom of this sunset seascape, dozens of patrols of the mermaid clan raised their weapons and angrily aimed at a group of kraken powerhouses, among this group of krakens, the leader was a crab demon with the strength of the third order of the elixir.

I saw that this crab demon was extremely arrogant and unscrupulously released the aura of the strength of the spirit pill level on his body, this kind of breath that was not in the flow for Du Long, for this Biluo Cave, which was the strongest only in the spirit sea level, made all the mermaid patrol members feel frightened!

Soon, Yu Liang led a group of mermaid demons to arrive from the direction of Biluo Cave, which made many mermaid patrols at the scene secretly relieved, as if they had found the backbone.

"Yu Liang, are you ready to protect the taxes?!I specially notified you a few days in advance, if you dare to shirk the slightest, hum!" This elixir-level crab demon was arrogant, and just glanced at Du Long and the others curiously, and then snorted coldly at Yu Liang, who was surrounded by the crowd.

"Protection tax?!" Without waiting for Yu Liang to speak, Du Long, who was intent on coming out to trouble these people, took the lead in interjecting: "Who are you? Why do you collect protection tax privately under the jurisdiction of the Blue Sky Cave Heaven?!"

This crab demon frowned and looked at Du Long and Xia Qinglian, looking the two of them up and down coldly, and for a long time he didn't feel what strength the aura exuded from their bodies reached, and couldn't help but wonder: "Who are these two people?!Yu Liang, you don't want to invite outsiders to fight against our gilded cave, right?!"

"No, no......" Yu Liang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "These two are maritime merchants from the Bikong Cave, and they have just purchased some goods in my Biluo Cave, this is the protection tax of 10,000 spirit crystal coins, and please accept it with a smile!"

I saw Yu Liang take out a bag of spirit crystal coins in pain, this is the hard-earned money of countless clansmen in Biluo Cave for a year, if it weren't for this damn protection tax, these spirit crystal coins could improve the strength of the mermaids in the whole cave!

In the underwater world, countless krakens are still trying to earn spirit crystals, spirit crystals are money, and they are also important materials needed for cultivation to improve their strength!

"Haha!" Without waiting for the crab demon to reach out and take the bag of spirit crystal coins, Du Long suddenly laughed out loud and took the lead in snatching the bag of spirit crystal coins in Yu Liang's hand: "Patriarch Yu Liang, give this ten thousand spirit crystal coin protection tax to these unpopular pirates, it is better to hand it over to the subordinates, I will ensure that your Biluo Cave is safe and sound!"

The countless mermaid clans on the scene, as well as the krakens who came to collect the protection tax, were all dumbfounded, and they all stared at the guy who unceremoniously took the bag of spirit crystal coins with wide eyes in disbelief, including the mermaid patriarch Yu Liang!

Today's first chapter...... I drank last night, and I owe a chapter, so I have time to make up for it
