Chapter 9 Crocodile Swamp I

"You're here just in time, someone posted a quest yesterday that requires a lot of clover. ”

Shopkeeper Ren said with a smile: "You know that clover grows in the crocodile swamp, there are many crocodiles in the crocodile swamp, although the strength of a single is not strong, but it is better to win in a large number, this task is not something that can be completed by one person, you need to form a team, you better find a few people to form a team." Now all the bounty hunters are doing this quest. ”

After Xia Yu listened to the words of the shopkeeper Ren, he turned his head to look at the people in the tavern, and saw that some of the people in the tavern had already chatted together in groups of three or five, and they had obviously successfully formed a team. There were still a few people standing scattered on the side, and they hadn't yet succeeded in forming a team.

"We need a strong man to face the crocodile beast head-on, I wonder who wants to join?" just then someone shouted from the corner of the tavern.

Xia Yu's eyes looked in the direction of the caller, and he saw two young men about twenty years old standing together in the corner of the tavern, slightly short, very shabby clothes, and very raw faces, as if they were bounty hunters who had just arrived.

The few people in the tavern who had not yet formed a team glanced at the two of them, and they both looked disgusted, and turned their heads away.

The two of them saw that no one cared about them, and their faces were very embarrassed.

"I'm willing to join, what do you think of me?" Xia Yu said as he walked in front of the two of them.

The two looked at Xia Yu standing in front of them, dressed in gorgeous costumes, hand-cranked paper fans, handsome and handsome, with a light in his eyes, he looked like a child of a rich and noble family.

The two couldn't make up their minds, they looked at each other, and one of them said with a simple face: "What we need is a strong man who can confront the crocodile head-on, I'm afraid you are not suitable, childe." ”

"Haha, you can see that I am the bounty hunter who just joined, my Xia Yu's name is known to everyone among the bounty hunters, I am one of the strongest among the bounty hunters, everyone here can testify. Xia Yu said with a smile.

The two looked at Xia Yu, and then looked at the people in the tavern, but they didn't object to Xia Yu's words, and the honest young man said: "Since you are a strong man, you are welcome to join, I am Wu Po, this is Wang Sheng, and they have just become bounty hunters." ”

"Well, now we are a team, my name is Xia Yu, and I am a senior bounty hunter. ”

Xia Yu shook the paper fan, looked at the honest Wu Po and the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks Wang Sheng, and said with a boss attitude: "There is nothing wrong with you following me, you will definitely make money every day, now let's go." ”

Xia Yu was in front, Wu Po and Wang Sheng were close behind, targeting the crocodile swamp.

The crocodile swamp is sixty miles west of Yucheng, and the three of them kept talking all the way, Xia Yu also knew that the two were from poor families, and heard that someone bought a large number of clovers, came out to try their luck, and made some money to supplement the family, and they wanted to enhance their own strength.

Sixty miles of road was at the feet of the three people, and soon they arrived, and the three of them also turned strangeness into familiarity.

The three of them looked at the endless swamp in front of them, and a smell of decay came to their faces.

There were already several squads in sight looking for Clover.

"There's already someone in this area who has already made their way there, so let's go over there. ”

Xia Yu pointed to the front right and said.

At the edge of the crocodile swamp, you can meet groups of three or five squads everywhere you go, these are people looking for clover.

"It seems that there is no clover to be found at the edge of the swamp, and even if there is, they have taken it away, so we have to look deeper into the swamp. Xia Yu said with a frown.

"The depths of the swamp are very dangerous, not to mention the crocodiles, even if we are not careful, we will not be able to get out of the swamp. Wang Sheng said worriedly.

"Wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and if you don't pay, you won't get it. ”

Xia Yu said: "You follow behind me, pay attention to your own safety. ”

The three of them walked very slowly, using branches to find their way and bypass some dangerous places.

The three of them drifted apart, and soon no other team was in sight.

On a high ground in front of them, under the sunlight, a dozen and a half foot-high clover grass moved with the wind.

"Shamrock. Wu Po shouted excitedly.

Xia Yu looked at Wu Po and Wang Sheng's excited looks, and was about to run over to pick.

"Slow down, don't be impulsive. ”

Xia Yu stopped the two of them, carefully observed the surroundings, and sure enough, there were a few crocodiles lurking in the mud puddle not far away, and the crocodiles were mixed with the surrounding mud and grass, and it was difficult to find them without looking carefully.

Xia Yu smiled and pointed in the direction of the crocodile.

Wu Po and Wang Sheng looked in the direction that Xia Yu pointed, and also saw the lurking crocodile, and the originally excited face showed a look of fear, Wu Po said: "Thanks to Brother Xia Yu, otherwise, Wang Shengkeng and I would definitely have gone and never returned." ”

"I'm going to deal with the crocodiles, you pick the clover, remember to be careful. Xia Yu said.

The crocodile had already discovered Xia Yu and the three of them, and seeing that the three of them did not continue to move forward, they all crawled out of the mud and pounced on the three of them with their long mouths.

Xia Yu saw the muddy crocodile pounce on him, his fists clenched, and he came out again and again.

The crocodile came and flew back faster than it had come.

Although the crocodile had rough skin and thick flesh, under Xia Yu's fists and feet, their bodies were shattered, and blood flew and fell to the ground.

Wu Po and Wang Sheng stood not far behind Xia Yu, and when they saw the crocodile broken like a toy in Xia Yu's hands, they were all envious, and they were even more sure of the correctness of following Xia Yu to form a team.

Xia Yu turned to look at the two of them, and said with a smile: "What are you doing in a daze, go pick clover." ”

Wu Po and Wang Sheng nodded at the same time, ran to the high ground, picked off a dozen clovers, and then ran to Xia Yu's side and handed the clover in his hand to Xia Yu.

"You take it and divide it when we go back and hand in the task. ”

Xia Yu smiled and said, "Let's continue to move forward." ”

Wu Po and Wang Sheng both had joyful smiles on their faces and nodded at the same time.

Along the way, the three of them found a lot of clover, and of course, there were also a lot of crocodiles besieging the three of them, but under Xia Yu's fists and feet, all the crocodiles died.

Xia Yu looked up at the sun that was about to set and said, "Let's go back, that's the end of today." ”

Of course, Wu Po and Wang Sheng were obedient to Xia Yu's decision, and along the way, the two saw Xia Yu's bravery, and they had already admired Xia Yu's five-body throw.

Xia Yu was in front, Wu Po and Wang Sheng followed closely behind, and put them back along the same path.

On the way back, the three of them were very relaxed, talking and laughing all the way, and finally returned to the fortune tavern before the sun set.

When Xia Yu put today's harvest of one hundred and fifty-three clovers in front of the shopkeeper Ren.

Shopkeeper Ren said with a smile: "The harvest is good, ten gold coins per clover, a total of 1,530 gold coins." ”

"Boss, you divide the gold into three equal parts. Xia Yu said.

Shopkeeper Ren smiled and gave Xia Yu the equal loading of gold coins into three bags.

Xia Yu took the gold coins and put two of them in the hands of Wu Po and Wang Sheng.

Wu Po and Wang Sheng looked at the bag containing the gold coins in their hands, and had a feeling of panic in the gods, Gao Po said: "Xia Yu, you have contributed the most this time, so you should have a little more." ”

"Yes, Wu Po and I just ran errands with you, we shouldn't share so much, it's enough for the two of us to ask for a bag of gold coins. Wang Sheng also said, and returned the bag containing the gold coins in his hand to Xia Yu.

"Listen to me, we are a team, no matter who contributes much, the division of labor is different, and it should be divided equally, if you don't take it, you will look down on me, and there will be no chance of cooperation in the future. Xia Yu said with a straight face.

Wu Po and Wang Sheng looked at Xia Yu's serious face, put away the bag containing the gold coins, and stored ten thousand gratitude in their hearts, knowing that Xia Yu deliberately gave the two more gold coins.
