Chapter 56: The Shadow of the River
(Cat flutter Chinese) The words of the person outside simply made us feel inexplicable, at this time Cao Da stood up and said to us: "Let's go, let's go out and have a look." ”
Everyone nodded, and then followed Cao Da out of the house, only to see that outside this room, there was a burly man with two girls, standing at the door of our house proudly.
When he saw us come out, he glanced at us condescendingly, and then said, "It's just a few of you newcomers, right, I tell you, if you want to get mixed up in this place, you have to pay protection money, otherwise, you will be good-looking." ”
I was a little puzzled and asked, "Excuse me, why did you give you protection money?" ”
He said coldly: "If you don't give it, then you will bear the consequences, anyway, my words will be put here, there were a few people before, they were unwilling to pay protection money, and then what they received, do you want me to show you?" ”
I frowned and looked at the man in front of me, I always felt very uncomfortable in my heart, I had just come to this place, and I was threatened by others, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
This place is obviously so dangerous, everyone should unite at this time, but it is really disgusting that they actually take advantage of their own time here for a long time and bully newcomers.
Dongfang Qingyun was obviously a little unhappy, and he said coldly: "If we don't give it, what can you do?" Don't threaten us, everyone is in this kind of place, no one can call anyone, don't think I'm afraid of you. ”
The burly man shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, if you are not afraid, then I will tell you what will happen, maybe at some point, suddenly a powerful monster will rush towards you." ”
I frowned and said, "How is it possible, the monster is not your pet, why should it obey your orders?" ”
The burly man smiled and said, "You must know, I have been in this place for ten years, that is, I know what these monsters like and what they hate, I can completely let them not attack me, but attack you, you have to think about it, these are the advantages of the seniors." ”
We all looked at each other, and at this time, none of us took the burly man's threat as a joke. Because if he really stayed for ten years, maybe he could really figure out some ways here, that is, if he provoked him, it would be extremely unwise for us to come.
At this time, the burly man was a little frightened when he saw us, and he continued: "And I haven't been with you, I only have such a few people, haven't you thought about it?" Maybe I can call a lot of people with a single order, although the mortality rate here is very high, but with the accumulation of years, there are many people who actually stay, and I know a lot of people. ”
At this time, we finally had the same hostility as we had at the beginning, because the burly man's words had to make us think deeply. In this place, his status is obviously much higher than ours, and judging from the momentum he exudes, this guy's strength is not something we can deal with, maybe we can defeat him when we go together, but the problem is that if we go head-to-head, we are definitely not his opponent, because from his momentum, I can see that he probably has the strength of the third level of immortals.
I sighed and said, "Well, what's your protection fee?" But I have to be clear first, we can't get things like spirit stones in this place, so it's best not to charge protection fees like money. I mean, since you're collecting protection money here, you know what to charge. ”
The burly man saw that I was so obedient to him, and nodded with satisfaction: "The one who knows the times is Junjie, if you are like this from the beginning, where else do you have to make so many moths, just like your spirit stone, we don't need this thing, because it is useless here, and it cannot be used as currency." ”
"And what do you want?"
"Of course, it's a practice, if you defeat the monster here, won't you be able to get the exercise? All I want is as simple as that, you have to hand in one exercise to me every month, and that's it. ”
My eyes widened and I said in disbelief: "I have to give you one every month, can you be more greedy?" ”
As soon as I said this, the burly man and the two women beside him laughed directly, only to see the burly man look at me pitifully, and then said: "The newcomer is so sad, he doesn't even know the rules of this place, how many monsters do you think you have to deal with in a month?" Why do you think we have a 95 percent chance of dying? Let me tell you, because you can be attacked by monsters all the time, and this is not kidding you, maybe sometimes monsters will attack you for a month, and the longest record is one of my brothers, who was attacked by monsters for a year and six months, and of course he died in the end. ”
This...... It's just incredible.
I stupidly handed over the exercise I had obtained before and threw it to the burly man, who took the exercise and looked at it, and then said with a little appreciation: "Is the strength of your newcomers quite good, you can actually defeat the Rhino King." I have to say, you are already quite blessed among the newcomers, since you are so obedient now, then I will tell you three suggestions, remember, if you can keep these three suggestions of mine in mind, your chances of survival here will be greatly improved. ”
We all looked at the burly man expectantly, waiting for his advice, only to see him say slowly: "First, try not to make a fire, once the fire is lit, it will attract monsters." Second, when attacking a monster, don't let it scream, I also heard screams yesterday, so I came to find you, but have you ever thought that not only I can hear the screams, but other monsters can also hear the screams, that is, try to fight as quickly as possible, find out its weaknesses, and kill it with one blow. As for the third one, that is to listen to me obediently, I will never treat others badly, as long as you can obediently obey me, I promise, I will bring you benefits. ”
I couldn't help but ask, "Then how are we going to pay you protection money in the future?" Did you come to us, or did we come to you? ”
The burly man smiled and said, "I'll come to you, you just have to wait, no matter where you are, I can find you." ”
After that, he swaggered away with the two beauties, leaving us with only a long back, I scratched the back of my head, and said a little embarrassed: "I really didn't expect that I just came over and blackmailed someone else." ”
Cao laughed and said, "Things always have to be seen on the good side, after all, we have also learned a lot." ”
"Oh, yes."
At this time, I suddenly remembered an important matter, so I hurriedly shouted to the burly man, "Excuse me, can I ask you a question?" ”
The burly man turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
I saw that he had responded to me, so I hurriedly asked, "I want to ask you a place, do you know that there are two mountains together, one of which is like an eagle, and the other is like a ball, and there is a long canyon in the middle?" ”
After hearing my question, the burly man's face suddenly changed, and he was still arrogant, his face became extremely pale for a while, and he asked in astonishment: "What are you asking about that place?" Could it be that you are a friend of that person? ”
I asked, confused, "What is that friend, is there anything there?" ”
The burly man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then said with a little trembling: "I know your place, I don't understand what you want to do there, but I advise you not to go, there is a monster over there that is living in seclusion, don't go near there, everyone who comes near him is dead." ”
"Is there a very powerful monster?" I asked, confused.
He shook his head, the horror on his face becoming more and more obvious, and said softly, "That's not a monster, that's a person." ”
"Alone?"
"Yes, a man who has been living in seclusion in that place for fifty-seven years. No monster or human can disturb him, and if you mess with him, it will cost you your life. ”
I asked, "Who is he?" ”
The burly man said softly: "I don't know about him, I only know that he seems to be only as tall as one meter seven, surnamed Jiang, this person has a bit of a strange temper, and he will always be a shadow, waiting for his master to return." ”
