Chapter 499: A Not So Good Competitor

The dark night is as usual, but if you walk in the streets, you will find that there are a lot of people here, just like everyday.

The long-term sunless state has already brought bad consequences. In this era when most people have no clocks and "life schedules", without the sun's guidance on daily life, chaotic work and rest are inevitable.

Today's streets in Shi Lai Ling, there are people on the street at any point of time, there are hawkers and shops, but there are not many people, just like the normal daytime life of ordinary people, they are divided into two or three parts.

It's just that people on the street are often emotional, yellow and thin, and the long night is a kind of devastation to most lives.

In the temporary residence specially vacated by the lord, Lu Pingan was bandaging Xia Qin, and her right hand was slightly injured.

"How is your strength?"

"Normal. But it's a little weird. Which one was killed, the body exploded with strong acid."

Lu Pingan nodded, then he knew it well.

A group of outsiders came, but they were not their own people.

The Sindraks, with a triangular head and six arms resembling arthropods, are said to be able to use acid-like, poisonous, and water-like extraordinary abilities. A powerful extraordinary race that can cross star realms is also a competitor of human beings.

They did not have the teleportation of the "God of Travelers" across the world. Most of the original means of transportation could not be used directly due to the different world rules. They came from the king's capital with one foot and one foot.

This is also the daily life of most outsiders, spending most of their time on the road.

It may have been several months or even half a year since we arrived at the destination at the beginning, and the situation has changed drastically.

Their explorations are often counted wherever they go.

"They, those Sindak bugs, should just pass by to see the situation. In their team, there are some locals, not many in number, but they are quite gorgeously dressed, and they look like rich people."

Xia Qin added a few words, although the injury is a bit uncomfortable, but this level is also a daily routine, and there is no need for an extension.

She met those outsiders on the street.

Then, there were some quarrels that happened normally. In the end, it turned into a direct fight.

"How are they?"

"After two minutes of fighting, they were separated by the Cavaliers. Two of them died and I was slightly injured."

Judging from the results, the Xindak people suffered a loss, but Lu Pingan knew Xia Qin, she was not the one who took the initiative to provoke trouble, and she would not kill at will under normal circumstances.

"I can tell they're going to kill me"

The ins and outs of the matter were quickly restored. The other party took the initiative to provoke, and the quarrel directly turned into a fight, and then tried to kill someone in the street.

Xia Qin didn't get used to them either, and directly killed the two of them, and then the knights came out to be peacemakers.

"This is a temptation"

The quarrel was just an excuse, it was clearly a test, to test the strength of Lu Ping'an and his team.

What if Lu Ping An is not strong enough? Why hesitate to root out weak competitors? Even if it doesn't become a street murder, it will come to your door later.

The other party's directness and decisiveness also taught Lu Ping'an and the new group of explorers a lesson. Once the relationship between foreign explorers encounters a conflict of interest, it may become quite cruel.

"Where are they?"

"On the other side of the hotel in the business district, two foreign mercenary groups have been hired, with some strength. We don't have many people left behind, so it's a bit troublesome."

"Didn't you go to the lord's side?"

"I went, and there were a few local foreign nobles who went with me. According to the eyeliner, I came out in five minutes."

"Hehe, that old guy really knows how to behave."

Just judging from the fact that outsiders bring locals in the team, they may also be selling "boat tickets".

But obviously, the terms they offered couldn't be compared to Lu Ping An's side.

What's more, the old lord has already placed his bets. Smart investors may hedge their bets, but it is clear that the bargaining chips put forward by those outsiders are not enough to even enter the game.

The lord knew the general situation after only a few words of conversation. In order to avoid misunderstandings by Lu Pingan, he drove them away on the spot.

From the perspective of the second group of outsiders, Lu Ping'an and his party are naturally obstacles. Their temptations are natural, and they may not give up after suffering a loss.

In a sense, Lu Ping'an and his party were lucky. Xia Qin was the one who was approached. As a melee class, she was pretty good.

".Wait a minute, let me talk to them."

Being actively attacked, Lu Pingan was not so easy to talk to, he was going to have a good chat with them and their bones.

While they were trying to test Lu Ping'an and his party, they also gave up on themselves. It was only a group of garbage that Xia Qin killed two of them face to face, so why keep it? Give them a chance to poach their own corner? Give the natives a chance to bet on both ends?

reason? Excuse? Does that matter?

The current Lu Pingan is already the nominal adoptive father of the new local lord (who has fallen ill), kill those things, and then find any reason.

But Lu Pingan hadn't set off yet, but the new news had already arrived.

"Run away? It seems that it's not stupid."

"I heard that the lord ordered them to leave within three days. As a result, they left the city in less than three hours."

That cunning old guy, since he has confirmed that those Xindak people don't even have the ability to lower prices, naturally he won't stay in the city to "affect the overall situation".

If the guess is correct, the old lord will take the initiative to come to visit the "injured victim" in a short time.

And those Xindak people are not stupid. After confirming that they are unable to compete with Lu Pingan and his party, they also saw the lord's attitude and made a decisive decision to go to the next stop.

"Where did they go?"

"It seems that it is the gray forest. It is said that they want to go there to collect medicine."

Hearing this, Lu Pingan showed a subtle smile.

At this point in time, go to Gray Forest? To deliver food to those undead, polluted monsters, or bloodvines who are crazy hungry? This is really a group of good people.

But don't say it, Shilailing is just a rural place. Compared with the territory here, the gray demon forest is more famous and valuable.

As a foreigner, if he came to this border area not far away, it is very likely that he came for the forest.

Those Xindak people were probably just passing by, trying to get as much as they could, but now they ran into trouble and ran away.

If the relationship between the two parties is good, Lu Pingan is also willing to exchange some information to find out what is going on outside. But now, it is unknown how many of them will come back alive.

"Tsk, let Maomao take a trip. It's just picking up the corpses, and it's somewhat rewarding. Since you are obliged to be cannon fodder, you can also take this opportunity to find out if there is any change in the forest after we left. I always feel that something is wrong."
