Chapter 179 Lion King Huma
"Why are you making such a fuss!" Yang Yi yelled, "This backwater village is still under construction and it is impossible to refund the money.
"How can that be done? Our guild has invested so much money in the early stage." Someone complained. If the fishman village doesn't pay back the money, the mission sent by the guild will not be completed.
"No, pay me back immediately. You fishmen, don't think that we adventurers are easy to bully."
"Yes, pay back the money immediately! We players are not easy to mess with if we unite."
Yang Yi took a look and saw that some people were getting arrogant at the entrance of the Fishman Village with their noses in their faces. He himself was still angry, and these people were completely at gunpoint.
"Old Blind Eye, catch those who make a lot of noise and beat them up."
"Yes, Lord."
The old blind man picked up his weapon and rushed out first with a fierce look.
When the others saw it, they quickly shut their mouths and took a few steps back to avoid being hurt.
After a while, several people were surrounded by murlocs and beaten up.
Yang Yi also ran up, punched and kicked him, and took out his anger on these people.
After a severe beating, Yang Yi was very satisfied and his anger had subsided a lot. Now the world was finally clean.
"We Ratchet fish people are reasonable." Yang Yi said, but the eyes of the people present clearly did not believe this.
"No matter what. As a human being, um - to be a fishman, you have to be trustworthy. We have agreed to invest in the construction of a backwater village, and we Ratchet fishmen will continue to build it. We will remember the money you invested earlier, When the village is built, I will give it to you in proportion.”
Yang Yi briefly explained his idea, meaning that as long as the village is built, the money invested earlier will not be counted.
"In that case, our guild will no longer vote."
"We don't plan to invest any more money."
Several people expressed their thoughts. In fact, when they came, they knew that they would not be able to get back their previous money. Yang Yi said this, at least they can still hope that the village can be built in the future, so the money invested in front of them will not be in vain.
Yang Yi suddenly felt a little regretful. Why didn't he write a higher liquidated damages when drafting the contract? Otherwise, he would have made a lot of money in vain.
Everyone has expressed their opinions, and the basic unanimous idea is not to continue investing in the backwater village. It seems that everyone does not have high expectations for this village to be built.
These people all said they would no longer invest in backwater villages, but Yang Yi actually didn't care. Even Yang Yi himself has little confidence in the current situation in Backwater Village, let alone others.
"That's it. Since no one wants to continue investing money, let's all disperse. I have to go back to sleep." Yang Yi said.
At this time, a person raises his hand in the crowd, just like raising his hand to speak in class.
"Mayor Poseidon, we still want to vote."
A girl who was thin and looked like an underage girl raised her hands and shouted weakly.
Yang Yi was surprised. He didn't expect anyone to be more confident in this backwater village than him. He looked at the girl with her hands raised in the crowd and saw that the girl was thin. This is very common. These days, whether on Earth or in the world of Azeroth, everyone is having a hard time. This kind of body shape is the most common.
Really couldn't see anything special, so Yang Yi took a look with the Lord's Eye.
[Name]: Two Holy Sword Knights
Ha, Yang Yi laughed.
Just by looking at his name, he knew that he was from the Knights of the Holy Sword. He was probably a classmate of the Knights of the Holy Sword.
"This little girl is very discerning. If the Backwater Village is built in the future, the benefits of your guild will be indispensable."
"Thank you, thank you Mayor Poseidon." The girl completed the task and received an additional promise from Yang Yi, and was a little excited.
Others looked at the girl named Two Holy Sword Knights with strange eyes, as if they were saying: Poor little girl is still too young and has no experience in the world, so she was deceived by the ugly fish-man. .
Yang Yi told these adventurers the answer, and then, regardless of whether they were satisfied or not, they all had the fighting murlocs blast them away.
These guilds and forces did not want to continue investing in Backwater Village, and Yang Yi did not want them to hold so many shares.
After everyone left, Yang Yi returned to the fishman village. It was still morning time, so he went to sleep again.
By the time Yang Yi woke up again, it was already evening again.
"Finally no one bothered me to sleep. It was a great sleep."
Yang Yi stretched and had a good sleep.
After getting up, Yang Yi ate something casually, and then asked the old blind man and Swart.
It was a calm day in the Backwater Fishman Village during the day, and nothing happened. On the other side of the lake, the adventurers who stayed here last night also left one after another, and now there are no adventurers left.
Yang Yi actually has nothing to do in the backwater Murloc Village, but he still plans to stay for one more day before returning to Ratchet Town.
Because according to time calculation, the food and other supplies delivered by Ratchet Town to the backwater fishman village should be arriving soon. Yang Yi also wanted to take a look at the purification of the lake water. According to the tauren Gao Shan, if the purification ceremony is carried out tonight, the lake water will be completely purified.
Whether transporting supplies or purifying the lake water, Yang Yi didn't need to do anything. He was bored and came to the lake.
Brak is at the lake. With the help of the alchemical potion, his injury is almost healed now. Previously, Yang Yi gave Brak the task of organizing fishmen to catch [mutated fish], and so far he has caught a lot of them.
As usual, Yang Yi asked the fishman to bring a few dog-headed slaves and asked them to try to eat the mutant fish one by one.
However, the result disappointed Yang Yi. He counted and found that there were seven or eight reactions after these dog-headed people ate the mutant fish. These reactions were good and bad, but they did not last long and soon returned to normal.
"This mutant fish has too many effects after eating, and the effects are random. It is better to poison them all to death after eating, so that at least they can be sold as poison for money."
Yang Yi is only interested in making money now. He thinks that this unique [mutated fish] must have other uses, but the thorny fishman does not know yet and has not yet opened up the value of this fish.
It seems that this mutant fish cannot be exchanged for gold coins for the time being, so Yang Yi lost interest in it and started fishing out of boredom.
Yang Yi finally waited until the next morning, when the supplies from the ratchet town arrived safely at the dead water oasis, and the lake water in the dead water oasis became clear again after three consecutive nights of purification rituals by Jerrick Gaoshan and Mur Leijiao.
The matter of Deadwater Oasis came to an end, and Yang Yi planned to return to Ratchet Town.
Before going back, Yang Yi originally planned to say goodbye to Bain and Jerick, but the two rode kodo beasts to the fishman village. It turned out that they also came to say goodbye to Yang Yi.
Jerick Gaoshan was going to escort Mur Leijiao back to Mulgore, and Bain was going to continue his trial.
Bain came to the Barrens for his own trial, and he had already wasted a lot of time on the matter of Deadwater Village.
"Poseidon, I originally came to Thunder Peak following the migration of grassland kodo beasts, and that's why I met you. Now the kodo beasts have given birth and migrated south, and I should follow them and leave." Bain said to Yang Yi.
"Bain, do you plan to continue tracking the traces of the kodo beast named Laktamani?" Yang Yi asked.
"Yes, we minotaurs are born hunters. Roaming and hunting are the highest honors of minotaurs. Laktamani is the most powerful kodo beast in the Barrens, and its hoof is the symbol of kodo beast's power. My trial is to bring back Laktamani's hoof to prove my ability to track and hunt." Bain said.
Yang Yi didn't quite understand why these nature-loving and peace-loving minotaurs were so interested in hunting. It is said that minotaurs hunt wild beasts because of the call of Mother Earth. Anyway, it always makes sense.
"Unfortunately, I still have things to do and can't go hunting with you. I really want to see how powerful the most powerful kodo beast in the Barrens is." Yang Yi said.
Bain smiled when he heard Yang Yi say that he wanted to hunt together. Hunting is Bain's favorite activity and topic, but as the son of the minotaur chieftain, he is often helpless like Yang Yi.
"Poseidon, in addition to the kodo beast Lactamani, there are many powerful beasts in the barren land, such as the wind snake Vahitapan, the thunder lizard Owatanka, and the steppe lion Echiyaki, etc. We will have the opportunity to go hunting together in the future." Bain said.
"Steppe lion Echiyaki?" Yang Yi suddenly felt that he had seen this name somewhere.
Yang Yi thought about it and remembered something, so he took out a piece of parchment from the linen bag around his waist.
Spreading out the map, Yang Yi looked for it and found the words "Echiyaki" marked in the northwest direction of the intersection. Then Yang Yi continued to look for other powerful beasts that Bain mentioned. However, Echiyaki was marked on this map, but Bain mentioned Lactamani, Vahitapan and Owatanka. I don't know if the annotator is not interested in them, or if he doesn't understand them so he didn't mark them on the map.
"Baine, Jerick." Yang Yi looked up and asked Baine and Jerick, "Do you know 'Xuma'?"
Yang Yi asked a name marked on Thorn Ridge, which is the closest mark to Ratchet City on the map.
"Black Mist, which is what we Tauren call Xuma, is the lion king of the grassland lions. It moves silently when hunting prey, like a thin layer of black mist floating on the ground. Every time it attacks, it is fatal, and its prey has no time to feel fear and pain before their souls are gone."
Baine talked about it like a treasure. He likes hunting and also likes to listen to the stories of hunting and wild beasts told by the Tauren of Hunter Highlands.
"Lion King Xuma is the master of the grassland, a mixture of mercy and death. Its soul is contained in its heart. Listening to the beating of its heart, you will see the future of the grassland."
After Baine finished speaking, Jerick immediately continued to speak loudly, just like the two Tauren had rehearsed many times.
"Is this Huma really as powerful as you say?" Yang Yi was shocked by what Baine and Jerick said.
"Haha." Baine and Jerick laughed heartily at the same time.
"This is a story told to us by the Tauren elders of Hunter Highlands in Thunder Bluff. You don't know that they like to tell young Tauren like us about hunting the most." Baine explained.
"Ha, it's true, it turns out that they are telling stories. I said that there can't be such a powerful prairie lion as you said, if that's the case, no hunter can hunt it." Yang Yi also laughed.
"Let me ask you, is the activity location of this lion king Huma on Thorn Ridge?" Yang Yi asked.
"Yes, Huma's whereabouts are extremely secretive, but it is said that someone has found it in Thorn Ridge. Poseidon, Thorn Ridge is very close to Ratchet Village. Let's go hunting together next time if we have a chance." Bain said that he was very interested in hunting the lion king Huma again.
"Okay, it's a deal." Yang Yi said.
"It's a deal." Jerrick said.
Yang Yi actually hoped to catch this lion king Huma as his hunter pet. After all, Bain and the others just said it was so powerful, but the more powerful the beast is, the more difficult it is to tame it. Thinking about the female prairie lion that had been locked up in the taming pen of Ratchet Town for several months and had not been tamed by himself, Yang Yi really couldn't imagine how to tame the lion king Huma.
Bain, Jerrick and Yang Yi agreed to hunt together next time, and then said goodbye to Yang Yi and left the Dead Water Oasis.
Yang Yi watched the two minotaurs leave, and then he explained to the old blind man. Tell him to immediately take the fishmen and jump into the water to avoid the Centaurs that he cannot defeat, and don't rush to fight the Centaurs to death when he is angry.
After explaining the matter, Yang Yi also set out to leave the Dead Water Oasis and return to Ratchet Town.
As soon as Yang Yi returned to Ratchet Village, he learned that something happened in Ratchet Village.
Caitlin, the female pirate captain imprisoned in the prison, escaped.
This is the first jailbreak case in Ratchet Village, and Yang Yi personally investigated it.
When he came to the prison where the prisoners were held, the door of Caitlin's cell was open, and there was no one inside.
Originally, this cell held more than 20 pirates, and later those pirates went out to work as slaves of Ratchet Village, and only Caitlin stayed, and now she has also escaped from prison.
"When did you find out that the people were missing?" Yang Yi questioned the prison guard.
"Mayor, I found it at dawn." The guard replied.
"Who opened this lock?" Yang Yi asked.
"We didn't open it." The guarding fishman answered tremblingly.
Yang Yi didn't say much. He first observed the cell door and found that the door lock was broken. This kind of destruction was not to use violence to forcibly break the door lock, but it was like someone cracked the structure of the lock and disassembled the lock piece by piece according to the structure.
"Someone opened the lock with the lock-picking skill."
Yang Yi knew that the stealth player had the lock-picking skill, so he immediately suspected the magic thief Marisa who was imprisoned in the prison with him. This woman seemed too calm after being imprisoned in the cell.
Yang Yi walked quickly to the cell where Marisa was imprisoned.
Marisa did not escape from prison. She just looked at Yang Yi quietly without saying anything.
Yang Yi looked at the minotaur and the little girl in the cell next to him.
"Did you open the lock?" Yang Yi asked.
"I don't know what you are talking about. We are still here. If I could open the lock, we would have run away long ago." Marisa spread her hands.
Marisa firmly denied it. Yang Yi had no evidence and could not do anything just by guessing. .
