Chapter 12: The Death of the Rabbit and the Sorrow of the Fox
The next day, Chen Hao was still the same as yesterday, and it took one morning to collect more than 300 grains of gas gathering sand.
After noon, Chen Hao only collected the Qi Gathering Stone, and he planned to hand over about five millimeters of Qi Gathering Sand at night, and add another Qi Gathering Stone. In this way, it will be more than enough to offset the increase in the task quota.
If he stupidly has to collect more qi and sand to hand in, it will inevitably make Cui Minggui think that the task quota is still set low, and it will increase soon.
Besides, Chen Hao only needs the Qi Gathering Stone now, and he has already taken a good look at a magic weapon in the "Qiankun Catalogue":
"Little Ruyi Shuttle.
Classification, offensive magic weapons.
Characteristic 1: Armor piercing, when attacking, it ignores defense and armor except for Dao law protection.
Feature 2: Easy to control, reduce the consumption of divine thoughts during control, and increase the controllable range to 20 zhang.
Additional features, none.
Material, corundum.
Price, one hundred and seventy-five junior demons. ”
Last time, when Zheng Chuxiang killed the demon beast chasing him, most of the magic weapons he used were magic weapons.
That amazing and easy blow made Chen Hao envious all the time. is also a scum in the qi training period, and with a magic weapon, people can throw out dozens of streets of their own combat effectiveness.
As for why Chen Hao knew that Zheng Chuxiang was also in the Qi refining period, it was because he already knew some basic common sense now. Like this kind of cave-level secret realm @ one @ book @ read - novel xstxt, the cultivation beyond the qi refining period is inaccessible. Because a secret realm is a small world in itself, and this super small world has a limit to the level of power that can be accepted.
Why do you choose the little Ruyi shuttle? because it's cheap.
Chen Hao has flipped through the "Qiankun Catalogue" several times, and only the small Ruyi shuttle is the cheapest.
Of course, this cheapness is relative. One hundred and seventy-five junior demon spirits are not easy for Chen Hao now.
Then let's collect it hard, and if you stick to it for a month, you should be able to get enough demons you need.
When you have a magic weapon, hum, like some low-level demon beast, you can solve one at once, and a lot of junior demons will come. When the time comes, you can redeem whatever you want.
Chen Hao thought of the happy place, and his enthusiasm became more and more sufficient.
In the end, Chen Hao left himself an hour's time. Because, he also needs to cultivate.
At this hour, Chen Hao hid in a safe place, studied the "Five Elements Returning to Tibet", and at the same time carried out the cultivation of the "Divine Observation" stage.
With such meticulous cultivation steps, it is not comparable to the garbage exercise of "Soul Technique". It's no wonder that one can cultivate to the foundation building, and the other can only reach the fifth layer of refining weapons.
Once a person has a predictable hope, even if he is suffering for the time being, he will become positive and optimistic.
When he returned to the small courtyard of the collection group at the end of work, Chen Hao felt a little strange.
After Cui Minggui finished collecting everyone's materials, Chen Hao found that several people were missing.
Ma Yin, Liu Dafei, and the people who surrounded him last night, a total of six people, did not come back.
After eating the dinner that had been rough, Cui Minggui took the initiative to enter Chen Hao's bedroom.
Chen Hao was the only one in the room.
Cui Minggui made a rare composed, glanced at the empty room, and said to Chen Hao: "Have you heard what Ma Yin said to them?"
Chen Hao shook his head.
"I'm not worried that they will escape, but I'm worried that their lives will not be guaranteed!" Cui Minggui sighed.
Chen Haocai didn't believe that he would be so kind, even if he was worried about the lives of a few people, he was just afraid that there would be fewer people to work.
Cui Minggui knew that Chen Hao was a newcomer, and he was alone when he worked on weekdays. It's understandable that I didn't get in touch with anyone else.
What's more, Chen Hao once gave himself three Qi Gathering Stones at one time. It takes a lot of luck to be able to get three aeoliths in a day. And Chen Hao didn't save it just in case, but handed it over to himself. This made him have a good impression of Chen Hao, and it also proved that Chen Hao didn't bother much.
Cui Minggui shook his head and left.
"They ran away after all. Chen Hao thought. He felt a little hot in his heart, and suddenly he felt that he was about to lose his patience.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Hao forced himself to calm down.
Thinking of the stupid Liu Dafei, Chen Hao still hopes that they can succeed.
Although Ma Yin didn't believe in himself, he didn't do anything excessive to himself after all. Chen Hao would not be so distrustful that he would feel how hurt he was. I never intended to be complicit in them, and it didn't matter if I believed it or not.
Nothing was said all night.
In the morning, the Lord of the Treasure Pavilion came over to take a look, but he didn't say anything. There were less than ten people left, and they still went out to work silently as before.
But Chen Hao didn't know that his good luck had run out for the time being so far.
Zheng Chuxue has collected enough little water demon tails, and today he no longer goes to Sand Lake to hunt. The Sima family, which originally occupied the oasis and its surroundings, has returned.
When Chen Hao was about to arrive at the oasis, someone flew over from afar.
That's right, it's flying.
The man was riding a wooden bird under him, and although it was slow and clumsy, it was actually flying off the ground.
It is forbidden to fly within a certain range of the city and its surroundings, so Chen Hao has never seen a flying magic weapon before, and at this time, it is the first time he has seen someone who can really fly, and his heart is full of curiosity.
The man flew in front of Chen Hao, a young man wearing a brocade robe. He shouted to Chen Hao with a domineering expression: "New here, hurry up and get away! I read that you don't understand the rules when you first arrive, and this young master doesn't care about you." ”
Chen Hao was stunned.
The man frowned: "What's the matter, do you want to wait for Young Master Ben to give you a ride?"
Several people in the distance also seemed to be looking this way.
It seems that the people who chartered the venue have changed, and this time the people have a bigger appetite, even near the oasis.
Helpless, Chen Hao had no choice but to turn around and leave.
Chen Hao is not a soft egg, but he is not mentally retarded. He will not make unnecessary provocations, that will only bring humiliation on himself.
Since this world is like this, the only way to do that is to work harder. When you can stand high enough, you will naturally not have these worries.
Although it is difficult to understand the thoughts, but after leaving the "rich mining area" and returning to the "poor mining area", the appetite that was originally raised seems to be unsatisfied. Chen Hao was a little sullen.
On the way back, Chen Hao opened the "Qiankun Catalogue" and looked at the eleven junior demons he had, and couldn't help but feel a pain in the egg.
That's a bit far from the goal of 175. And after leaving the surrounding area of the oasis today, Chen Hao once again didn't find a single gas gathering stone for the whole day.
It seems that relying on the collection of Qi Gathering Stones to exchange demons is not very optimistic, and we have to think of new ways.
Liu Dafei came back, and with him came back, there were four people and a corpse.
The body was Ma Yin's.
The beginning and end of the matter is very simple, Ma Yin and others, in the face of Cui Minggui's new system, feel powerless to carry out the original plan. Fearing that this plan would be discovered, the crowd decided to flee in desperation.
They were lucky enough to escape from the city, but were stopped by the patrolling monks of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
Carrying out secret plans for a long time and huge pressure made Ma Yin's spirit close to collapse. The punishment of being caught back scared him.
So he broke out, he was going to resist, he was going to fight!
The patrolmen unceremoniously killed the dangerous elements who were not capable of doing so on the spot.
The rest were stupefied, which saved their lives.
The patrol monks inquired and learned that they belonged to the Treasure Chamber, and sent them back today. Of course, the Treasure Pavilion owner will pay some fees for this.
Ma Yin's body was placed in the courtyard, his eyes were wide open, and there were no scars on his body. But sheer death alone was enough to deter the silent slaves in the courtyard.
This is also the effect that Cui Minggui wants.
So he let the corpse sit there, receive it as usual, and cook as usual.
Of course, Liu Dafei and the other five people were tied up and thrown in the yard, and there was no dinner to eat.
After the meal, Cui Minggui gathered everyone together, and a few torches were lit in the courtyard, and the flickering firelight flashed on everyone's faces, which looked a little eerie.
"You see?"
The crowd was silent.
Cui Minggui didn't mind and continued to give a speech: "I won't say anything ugly. You all know what kind of place the big city is, and the entire Fang City of the Heavenly Dao Alliance can't be compared with the big city.
"Heavenly Dao Peak is the core of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and the most powerful people in the entire Heavenly Dao Alliance live on it. And the big market, as the nearest market, is equivalent to the vegetable market of a country's capital......"
Cui Minggui's analogy is a bit nondescript, but no one can laugh.
"The national capital is heavily defended, including its wet market. In other places, maybe you can get out and get out, and here, I tell you, don't even think so!
"Even if you have to think so, I can only advise you, once you are stopped and questioned, don't think about resisting, this will save your lives. Even if you come back, you will be punished, and the pavilion master and I will not take your life.
"Liu Dafei, Ding Yi, Zhang Fengnian, Li Ling, Qian Xu, the five of you are selling slaves, trying to escape, according to the laws of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, the Pavilion Master can execute you! From tomorrow onwards, you will be members of the first hunting group in the Treasure Pavilion.
"You should cherish this opportunity and atone for your sins with solid deeds. Look at Ma Yin lying on the ground, this is the lesson! Okay, go back to sleep! Liu Dafei, the five of you, follow me to bury the corpse. ”
Cui Minggui rarely makes such a long speech in a serious manner, and he could have played a topic for a long time, not only did he say it nondescriptly, but he also felt that there was nothing to say about it. So with a wave of his hand, he asked everyone to go back to sleep.
Chen Hao returned to bed, and his mood became extremely bad again. In addition to the sad feeling of the rabbit dying and the fox, Chen Hao also saw more clearly the difficulty of wanting to be free here.
It seems that there is only one way to go, building a foundation.
