Chapter 178: Withdrawal of Investment and Refund of Money

"One hundred gold coins?" Mu Xiaolan was surprised. This was a lot of money.

"Huh, is it too much? This young master is fine staying here. I don't need you to save me. At most, I will die and resurrect." Lu Xiaoming was still rude to Mu Xiaolan who came to save him.

Mu Xiaolan didn't say anything. He signaled Scarface Ajie to pay the ransom.

Soon, Yang Yi got a hundred gold coins.

"This ransom is really a good business to make money. It seems that the Thorny Fishman will develop in this direction in the future." Yang Yi felt that he had found a good way to make money.

Yang Yi asked the old blind man to put away the gold coins, and then the fishman let Lu Xiaoming out.

"There is another one here, claiming that the ransom is 50 gold coins. Did you pay it too?" Yang Yi pointed to Gui Hao in the same fishman's net.

"I don't know him." Mu Xiaolan didn't even look at him.

"You..." Gui Hao hesitated and finally didn't ask for help.

It is reasonable to rescue him from the brutal fishmen first since they are all Earthlings.

Yang Yi also guessed that this was probably the case. He pointed to several other captured Qin Kunhui members and said, "There are a few more here. Do you know them?"

Mu Xiaolan looked at them and said, "I don't know them either."

Mu Xiaolan pretended not to know them and left with her people.

"Master! Sister Lan! Save us!"

The captured Qin Kunhui members shouted for help.

"A bunch of useless trash, just stay in the fishman village and be served as food and wine by the fishmen."

Lu Xiaoming, the leader, also left with a few angry words.

"It seems that these people are not worth much. Lock them all up. If no one comes to pay, let them starve to death."

Yang Yi asked the fighting fishmen to take these captives away. He knew that Qin Kunhui would come to redeem them sooner or later.

These adventurers were unwilling to be imprisoned and suffer by the fishmen. After they were taken to the temporary detention place, they disconnected from the world of Azeroth one by one. Some hurried to find someone to plead with Lu Xiaoming, while others planned to go out and find someone who was easy to bully to beat them up.

The adventurers who should leave have all left. Yang Yi arranged for the fighting fishmen who would be on guard in the second half of the night, and then asked the other fishmen to go to rest.

After that, Yang Yi took the old blind man and the fishmen who were on guard to the place where the adventurers had just fought.

"Old blind man, take your people to look around here carefully. This lord suspects that there is something wrong here."

Yang Yi intuitively suspected that what Lu Xiaoming and his friends were looking for was here. He just saw Lu Xiaoming and a group of people searching in this area for a long time, and later Gui Hao and his friends also came ashore from the nearby lake.

"Maybe it's because the things were found, but the spoils were not evenly divided, so the two sides fought." Yang Yi guessed.

Yang Yi didn't guess all of them correctly, but his intuition was not wrong.

The old blind man took the fishmen to search carefully nearby, and when he walked to the lake, his search expertise came into play.

The old blind man found that there was something wrong with the soft soil under his feet.

"There is something here, dig it up quickly." The old blind man handed over the fishmen.

The soil by the lake was very soft, and the fishmen gathered around and quickly dug a big pit.

Yang Yi also came over after noticing the movement. He found a square instrument in the big pit dug by the fishmen. The instrument was not big, only as high as the fishmen's knees. There was also an iron pipe connected to the underground under the instrument, and black sticky oil occasionally gushed out around the iron pipe.

"This instrument is made roughly enough. Could it be that this oil-leaking thing made the lake water black?"

Yang Yi took a closer look, and then he touched the instrument here and there, and he really found something.

This was a card inserted in the instrument. Yang Yi pulled the card out with great effort. After the card was pulled out, the instrument stopped working, and the black sticky oil stopped gushing out.

Yang Yi wiped the mud and sand on the card with his hand and found that many characters were densely engraved on the card.

"I can't even read the meaning of these characters. They don't look like ordinary text."

In Yang Yi's opinion, the characters on this card look a bit like some unanalyzed data, or they may just be a bunch of garbled codes.

Yang Yi took the card back and forth, but found nothing new, so he stuffed the card into his linen bag.

Not long after, Gui Hao's junior brothers ran back again.

After escaping, the junior brothers gathered at the place they had agreed to wait for Gui Hao, but after waiting for a long time, Gui Hao didn't come back, so some of them went to inquire about the news, and some went offline to find out the situation.

The news that Lu Xiaoming was redeemed from the Murloc Village spread quickly, and the junior brothers soon learned that Gui Hao was also captured by the Murlocs.

So they ran to the Murloc Village with the ransom.

Yang Yi saw someone else coming with gold coins, and in accordance with the principle of keeping his word in business, he accepted the money and released the person without hesitation.

In fact, people like Lu Xiaoming who came to the world of Azeroth just wanted to eat, drink and have fun, and didn't want to improve their own strength at all, so if they died, they would just wait for the next time to be resurrected. For adventurers like Guihao who have worked hard to train after coming to this world and have high strength and level, it would be a great loss if they died once and had to start over again.

Afterwards, Yang Yi asked the old blind man to rest, and then he continued to patrol the night.

Blake still needed to recover for a day or two, and the old blind man had to organize the fishmen to rebuild the village during the day, so Yang Yi had to do the night watch task by himself.

"When will Benbolba and Mojimus become adults? And the two sisters Gujigudong also need to grow up quickly, otherwise I will not be able to be the boss."

Yang Yi led the vigilant murlocs for a few rounds, then asked Swart to lead the murloc ambush team to pay attention to the adventurers on the other side of the lake, and then he walked forward himself.

Jerrick Gaoshan and Moore Leijiao came to the lake again at night to perform a water purification ceremony after yesterday.

Yang Yi stepped forward. The purification ceremony was mainly conducted by Moore Leijiao. Jerrick Gaoshan was on the side to protect Moore's ceremony from being interfered by external forces.

"Hello, Jarrick. Did the ceremony go well?"

"Hello, Poseidon. There is no problem with the purification ceremony at the moment. The lake will be completely purified in one day."

"That's good. The lake water here will be the main source of water for the backwater murloc village and the tauren in the future. It will be of great help to us if it can be purified."

Yang Yi didn't say that the fishman village had just found an instrument related to the oil in the lake, but he suddenly thought about it. The man Jerrick specially found from Mulgore was named Moore Lei Jiao. Since the tauren can purify this lake, this tauren must know that the lake water is polluted by oil.

"My lord almost made a mistake. The minotaurs are dishonest. They knew clearly that the lake was polluted by oil but didn't say anything. It seems that not all minotaurs are upright."

Yang Yi was bored when he saw Jerrick Gao Shan guarding the purification ceremony alone. Of course, Yang Yi himself was also bored, so he stayed and chatted with Gao Shan.

"Jerrick, I heard that the tauren in Thunder Bluff are actually divided into many clans?" Yang Yi asked.

"Yes, I am a tauren from the Mountain Clan, Baine is from the Bloodhoof clan, and there are many other clans. Because each of our tauren clans has a small population, we must unite to survive. Now the tauren in Thunder Bluff It’s the Bloodhoof clan that’s leading,” Jerrick Alpine explained.

"What about the tauren of Grimtotem? Don't they belong to the tauren of Thunder Bluff? I heard Bain say that the tauren who came here to build the Deadwater Tauren Village came here because their home in Stonetalon Mountains was destroyed by Grimtotem. I had no choice but to move here." Yang Yi asked his doubts.

Hearing Yang Yi mention the Horrible Totem, Jerrick Gaoshan couldn't help but frowned: "The Horrible Totem Clan is also a member of the Thunder Bluff Taurens. The Horrible Totem Clan and the Bloodhoof Clan are the larger ones among the Thunder Bluff Taurens. Two clans."

"Then why did Horrible Totem destroy a village of Thunder Bluff tauren?" Yang Yi was puzzled.

Jerick Gaoshan knew that Yang Yi was going to ask this question. He flicked his cow's tail irritably twice before saying: "The name Horrible Totem has a long history, but its history as an organization is actually not that long. . Our chief believes that all tauren should be united, but the Grimtotem has not really accepted the leadership of the chief. What happened in the Stonetalon Mountains is still under investigation, and some members of the Grimtotem have been killed by Thunder Bluff. wanted."

Only then did Yang Yi gain a little understanding of the affairs between the tauren clans. It turned out that even the Thunder Bluff tauren who joined the tribe were not monolithic, and only maintained a fragile unity within them.

In fact, Yang Yi still had many doubts in his mind that he had not asked Jerrick Gaoshan face to face. That was why the tauren from the dead water tauren village did not rush down from the mountain with Jerrick to rescue Bain during the day. Bain's identity is the son of the Thunder Bluff Tauren chief. Logically speaking, they should do their best to rescue him.

Another thing Yang Yi was confused about was that most of the tauren who moved from the Stoneclaw Mountains to the Deadwater tauren village had dark manes. Yang Yi learned from the forum that adventurers who had dealt with the terrifying totems in Stoneclaw Mountains or Thousand Needles said that in addition to being warlike, these tauren also had an obvious characteristic, that is, they were big. Some of them have black manes, so these tauren are called black bulls by adventurers.

In fact, Yang Yi doubted that the black cows in Leiming Niutou Village were not peace-loving and easy-to-get-together tauren like Bain and Gao Shan, because when Bain first introduced Makaba Flathoof, this backwater The attitude of the village chief of the Tauren Village is not very good.

Yang Yi seemed to think that even if the Black Bull of the Deadwater Tauren Village did not join the Horrible Totem organization, it was still related to the Horrible Totem, because the Stonetalon Mountains itself was one of the main residences of the Horrible Totem.

Yang Yi believed that Bain Bloodhoof would not intentionally harm him, so he did not take the initiative to exclude the black cows in the dead buffalo tauren village, but decided to pay more attention to the movements of these black cows in the future.

That night, Yang Yi chatted with Jerick Gaoshan about the Tauren clan, and then he returned to the backwater murloc village and continued to keep vigil with the murlocs until dawn.

The next day, Yang Yi was woken up in his sleep again. This time he was so angry that he was about to explode.

"What happened?" Yang Yi asked angrily.

"Town, mayor, alien human beings." The murloc patrolling the beach who woke up Yang Yi was so frightened that his legs went weak.

"You bastard, you are here to act wild again. Let's see if I don't shoot their heads off..."

Yang Yi grabbed the hard short bow and walked out angrily.

A dozen adventurers wanted to enter the Murloc Village, but they were all blocked by fighting murlocs.

Yang Yi came over with anger, and these adventurers were still mumbling.

"Lord, these outsiders say that our fishman village can no longer be built, and they want a refund." The old blind man reported the situation to Yang Yi.

After listening to the report of the old blind man, Yang Yi pushed aside the fishmen who were blocking the adventurers and walked out. He found that he didn't know these people in front of him. It seemed that the leaders of the big forces and big guilds didn't come in person. They just sent their younger brothers to come for the noisy repayment.

The adventurers were very well-informed, especially the adventurers in front of him, because they invested in the Dead Water Village, so they also learned about the situation of the thorny fishmen, so everyone at the scene recognized Yang Yi.

Of course, Yang Yi, the fishman lord, also looked conspicuous, with golden fish scales, and it was impossible to keep a low profile standing there.

"Look, the fishman mayor is out!"

"Mayor Poseidon, what should we do with this village?"

"If the centaurs come again, how can we defend it?"

As soon as everyone saw Yang Yi, they all asked.

"What else can we do? The village will start to be rebuilt today. If the centaurs come again and we still can't defend it, the worst case scenario is that it will be demolished like this time, and we will continue to rebuild it when the time comes." Yang Yi answered these people's questions very straightforwardly.

This was not Yang Yi's angry words. In fact, he couldn't think of any other way. Yang Yi didn't want to give up this dead water oasis, but there was no way to defeat the centaurs, so he could only waste time with the centaurs.

In fact, these adventurers knew from the beginning that it was difficult for the fishman village to defend against the attack of the centaurs, so they mainly hoped that the tauren could help resist the centaurs. But after the attack of the centaurs, many investors lost hope, because they saw that the tauren in the dead water tauren village looked indifferent when they saw the centaurs coming to attack the village by the lake, and they didn't want to come down to help the fishman fight against the centaurs.

The tauren didn't intend to help, and the tribe's reinforcements were far away and couldn't help the nearby fire. They had no good way to deal with the centaurs' tactics of destroying and running.

"How can this be."

"Then our guild will not invest, and return the gold coins to us."

"Yes, return the money."

Hearing Yang Yi say this himself, the adventurers immediately quarreled. In their view, the money invested in the early stage will be wasted.
