Chapter 262 You Have to Add Money
Heifengzhai, the central stone tower.
In a certain stone chamber, a white-haired old man sat cross-legged in it.
The old man has white hair, a pale face, shriveled and wrinkled skin, and bulging eyelids. He looks quite old, and his energy is almost exhausted.
"Ouyang Zhen, an old man, actually asked me to take over to guard the Black Wind Village. He actually excused himself on the grounds that he was busy with work. The key is that the gang of idiots in the clan believed it!" the old man muttered in a low voice, showing resentment .
Every time he thinks about this, he feels a fire burning in his heart.
His name is Ouyang Shang, and he is a seventh-rank master of the Ouyang family. As for why he lost his temper, it was naturally because of some incidents between the four major financial groups and Heifengzhai.
Heifengzhai is a stronghold jointly developed by the warriors of the Demon City. It is a stronghold of great strategic significance together with the other world and the Demon City.
It is because of this place that the warriors of the Demon City can enter the other world to hunt and kill alien beasts, and they can rest here, without worrying about being exposed to the wild for a long time and dying from the attack of alien beasts.
But because of this, someone needs to be in charge here, and the person in charge must be able to control the general scene, so there must be a master.
And because the Martial Artists Association needs to be in charge of the Demon City, the job of guarding this place falls to the hands of the four major financial groups, and each family takes turns arranging people to sit in the city.
This sounds like a good job, and I can come to a foreign world where the world is full of vitality to practice.
But this is actually a thankless task, because there are things happening every day in Heifengzhai, and the master sits here, so he can't practice in seclusion for a long time, and must be distracted to deal with chores.
No matter how strong the vitality of the world is here, it is useless, and it cannot be closed for a long time.
The time for the masters to retreat is not just a few days or months, they can easily take half a year, a year, or even several years. If someone retreats to death, this time limit is even more outrageous.
So coming here to guard is actually a hard job.
Originally, it was Ouyang Zhen's turn this time, but the other party asked the Ouyang family's board of directors to discuss the matter on the grounds of handling the consortium's business. .
Unfortunately, Ouyang Shang was shot and became the top guy.
"damn it,
If I hadn't been attacked by the enemy back then, resulting in the depletion of energy in my body, my cultivation has been unable to improve for decades, and my lifespan has been reduced by more than half, then those idiots in the clan would have let me do this dirty work! "Ouyang Shang shouted to the sky, venting his dissatisfaction.
The senior members of Ouyang's family knew that although Ouyang Shang was a master, his cultivation had already reached its peak, and because he was injured in his early years, he didn't have a long life, so he could just be used as a tool man.
Ouyang Shang also felt the injustice of the Ouyang family to him, but as a family member, he is more aware of the ruthlessness and ungratefulness of the big family.
For them, only profit is the pursuit, and sending a disabled grandmaster to the top of the bag, leaving a mature grandmaster to sit in the family, wouldn't it be beneficial.
Just when Ouyang Shang was feeling restless, a white light lit up in the corner of the stone room and began to flicker.
"What's the matter!" Seeing the white light, he stood up impatiently and walked towards the door.
This white light is a communication device, and it is used to remind him that there are important matters that need to be dealt with.
In the living room.
"Elder, people have brought it!" a subordinate reported.
Ouyang Shang sat in the main seat in the hall, and one of his subordinates led a man in a suit into the living room.
"Xiaxuan Wu'e, I met Elder Ouyang Shang!" After the man entered the living room, he politely cupped his hands.
"Xuan Wu'e, why are you looking for me?"
Ouyang Shang didn't know Xuan Wu'e, because when the other party entered the magic capital, he happened to come to Heifengzhai, and the news from the two places was not connected.
"Elder, I have something important and I need to talk to you alone!" Xuan Wu'e didn't say it clearly, but gestured around with his eyes.
"Bold, you came to see the old man, and you didn't say what it was. Are you just looking for something to do, and you are making fun of the old man!" After hearing this, Ouyang Shang showed a burst of impatience, and immediately became angry.
Fortunately, Xuan Wu'e had done an investigation in advance, and knew that the elder of the Ouyang family had become moody due to longevity and other reasons, but he was not annoyed, and there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Elder Ouyang Shang, Xuan came here this time to make a deal with you, and the deal is..." He cupped his hands at the other party, and then said in a low voice.
His voice became lower and lower after speaking, and the last few words were almost inaudible.
But Xuan Wu'e knew that the master's strong ears were amazing, and he could actually hear the last few words.
"Really?" Ouyang Shang heard it as expected, and rolled his eyes, showing a look of emotion.
"You all stand back, I want to have a private talk with this visitor!" He abandoned the left and right, and received Xuan Wu'e alone.
The two sat down and started talking.
While chatting, Xuan Wu'e revealed the purpose of his visit.
"What, you want me to do this, if it is exposed, wouldn't I be punished by the Martial Arts University and the Martial Artists Association..." After hearing the other party's plan, Ouyang Shang's eyes widened, and he couldn't even breathe. The controlled explosion came out.
The reason why he lost his composure was naturally because what the other party said was so shocking that a grand master almost peed in terror after hearing it.
Xuan Wu'e remained calm, as if he wasn't the one who said the plan just now.
"Elder Ouyang Shang, what I traded with you is a heaven-defying elixir that can last your lifespan for thirty years. Compared with such treasures, what is a mere life worth?"
"That can't be done, those people are..." Ouyang Shang's eyes flickered, a little moved, but also a little scared.
"In that case, I'm sorry to bother you, please leave!" Seeing this, Xuan Wu'e sneered and stood up straight away.
Ouyang Shang originally wanted to take down the opponent by force and ask for the whereabouts of the elixir, but seeing Xuan Wu'e's calm demeanor, as if he had a plan for the future, this idea was quickly dismissed.
Then he planned to use this matter as a threat to force the other party to call out the elixir.
But there are only the two of them here, if they have revealed the matter themselves, and the other party is not an idiot, how can they admit such a thing.
"Wait!" Ouyang Shang experienced a battle between heaven and man in his mind, and finally the desire to survive overcame his reason.
"Has Elder Ouyang Shang thought it through?" Xuan Wu'e turned around slowly and asked with a smile.
"Hmph, I didn't expect you to find this old man to conspire with such a treacherous thing. Do you really think that this old man will obediently listen to you?" Ouyang Shang sneered and said in a sinister tone.
"Then according to the Elder's opinion, let this matter go?" Xuan Wu'e sneered in his heart, but he put on a puzzled gesture on his face.
"No matter how you say this old man is a master, and the risk of this matter is not small, if you are not careful, you will be doomed!" Ouyang Shang said righteous words, but in the end the conversation turned around and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
"So, if I want to take such a big risk, you have to pay more!"
Old stuff, greedy enough!
Xuan Wu'e cursed secretly in his heart, but there was a smile on his face, because the other party agreed.
...
Outside the Black Wind Village, in the grassland area.
Heifengzhai is surrounded by a vast grassland, the farther you go, the taller the grass grows, even surpassing the size of ordinary people.
So after walking for more than an hour, Lei Yi and his group saw only green grass.
In the team, the only ones who could have vision were the mentor King Kong who was over two meters tall, and Chen Yingying and Wu Dan who sat on his left and right shoulders.
"Chen Yingying, did you find anything?" In the team, Fei Bo had walked for a long time and was panting from exhaustion, so he could only ask.
"There is no danger nearby. There is a slope 500 meters ahead!" Chen Yingying pointed to a place ahead and said.
Everyone continued to move forward, and soon came to the slope to repair.
There are not so many weeds here, and the field of vision is also wider.
Fei Bo sat down, his face was sweating from the exhaustion of walking.
The other people on the side were also exhausted, only King Kong, Lei Yi and Ingrid didn't react much because of their cultivation base or frequent weight training.
Just as a few people sat down, there was a "soso" sound from the grass in the distance.
This change made everyone tense up, only King Kong remained calm.
"Something is coming, it's small and fast!" At this moment, she closed her eyes and listened to the movement around her, and Chen Yingying suddenly said, pointing to the front left.
In the grass ahead, a mouse about the size of an ordinary human's arm swooped out. The sharp teeth reflected the cold light, and the pair of mouse eyes were even more bloodthirsty.
The beast ran very fast, but Lei Yi reacted faster, raising his hand with a hand knife, and knocked the mouse down.
"Hey, after a long time, it turned out to be a 'guinea pig', it scared me to death!" Seeing this, Fei Bo and the others patted their chests and said happily.
The guinea pig is a first-order alien beast with very weak strength. It looks similar to an ordinary bamboo rat, but it is slimmer and moves extremely fast.
The strength of this beast is almost at the bottom of the first-order alien beasts, and it is at the bottom of the alien beast food chain.
But this beast has another characteristic, its ability to reproduce is particularly strong. Among the grasslands around Heifengzhai, this kind of beast has the largest number.
If there were no other exotic beasts to act as predators, with the number of guinea pigs breeding, the entire grassland might be covered with rats in a few days.
"Be careful, this guinea pig is not looking for us to die, but seems to be fleeing in a panic, and finally ran into our team!" Just after killing the guinea pig, Lei Yi reminded.
Since the fleeing prey was near them, the predator was also there.
King Kong nodded at this, and the people who came secretly said that they were different. This kind of experience is much better than the other little brats.
But Lei Yi knew that these experiences of surviving in the wild were instinctive reactions that he had learned a long time ago and engraved in his body, and had nothing to do with the previous experience.
He entered the Guxiu Immortal Realm before, but was carried by Lu Wushuang to an unknown place.
In other words, this grassland is also the first place for him to set foot.
