Watching the three of them walk away, Duan Wutian touched his bald head and said, "Qingshi, what are you planning?"
"Stupid donkey!" Chen Tianye said, "Of course it's time to make up for the mistake you made!"
"What mistake did I make?" Duan Wutian stared.
"Qingshi almost convinced them to take the money and leave," Chen Tianye said, "Why are you talking so much?"
"That's true!" Duan Wutian said curiously, "I'm just surprised, Qingshi, you bargained with them for three hundred and five hundred, and they seemed to intend to take the money and leave, but I generously gave them one thousand each, and they But he didn't appreciate it, and instead wanted to beat and kill him. Why?"
"Brother Qi!" Qingshi laughed, "If I give them three hundred and five hundred, they will be moved, because the three of us are only worth nine hundred in total. Compared with picking up five hundred for nothing and risking your life to earn nine hundred, it is probably the best choice. The former.
"But if you increase the amount to such a high amount all at once, they will immediately understand that we are wealthy men. Therefore, killing people and taking wealth is their only option. No matter how high the risk is, they will not care."
"Oh!" Duan Wutian suddenly realized, and said, "These guys have never been beaten, why should they be bribed? It would be better to just kill them and bury them in the ground."
"They are more than just a group of bounty hunters!" Qingshi said, "Killing them is easy, but there is no benefit. If we bribe them, they will naturally not reveal our whereabouts to other teams to avoid being ridiculed. .In this way, they will intentionally or unintentionally mislead other teams to make us more stealthy and safer."
"Oh~" Duan Wutian said, "I understand. Now you let the three of them run away because you want them to be mistaken for the three of us by other teams. This is a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, right?"
"Ouch!" Chen Tianye exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Duan Tu, your big bald head has finally come to its senses!"
"That's right!" Duan Wutian said proudly, but asked doubtfully, "Are you praising me or scolding me?"
"Okay!" Qingshi said with a smile, "This move of mine is to disturb other people's sight. It can barely be said to be a way to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Now, we are about to transform into a team of bounty hunters! This should be called... ....Hmm...change your appearance and hide the truth!"
Qingshi took out the metal plaques and found that there were twelve pieces in total. It seemed that Fuya's team originally had more than seven people, and five of them should have been beaten before tonight.
After taking a closer look, Qingshi decided to steal the identities of three of them. He named himself Hai Ya, Chen Tianye as Mang Ju, and Duan Wutian as Kesu Yun.
The three of them took off their robes and put on local fashion clothes, and then put on a hooded cloak. These clothes were all obtained from Tu Ming. Almost all of his subordinates were naked, but the various clothes in his storage were piled up like mountains.
The three of them changed into new clothes, and each of them also carried a bow and arrow and hung a sword on his body. Qingshi learned from Fomako that monster bounty hunters like to bring evil beasts as helpers, while humans like to use puppet assistants. So, Qingshi took out two 'puppet guards' and modified them. He took out the two crossbow machines of a ballista puppet and installed them on them. In this way, they looked like a professional team of bounty hunters. Of course, they gave their team a name: Tianxuanmen.
Two days later, the Tianxuanmen team of three arrived at the eastern edge of the Great Wasteland. They could already see the rolling sand dunes in the east. According to the map provided by Bai Lao, the east of the Great Wasteland was a large desert. The environment It is no less harsh than the Great Wilderness, but there are more than a dozen large and small oases in this desert with a radius of tens of thousands of miles. Therefore, there are several commercial roads running from north to south in the desert, and there are many inns and stations along the road.
Since they were a professional team of bounty hunters, they naturally did not have to travel at night. The three of them set out early in the morning. It was not until almost noon that the three of them found a large ravine and prepared to go in to escape the harsh sun. And windy sand.
Qing Duan and Chen jumped into the bottom of the dry ditch, while the two puppets stayed on top. Chen Tianye took out a piece of canvas and hung it on a dead branch on the cliff. He set up a pergola and was about to sit down on the ground to rest when Qingshi suddenly shouted: "Who is it? Come out!"
I saw a lean man sticking his head out from behind a big rock and saying with a smile on his face: "Those who are passing by, rest here for a while."
"What's your name?" Qingshi said carelessly, "What are you doing here?"
"Three heroes have been invited," the man said. "I am Bao Xi, the messenger sent by King Hu Lun to the Great Immortal Yueshan, the seventh elder of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."
"Since you are a messenger!" Qingshi said, "Why didn't you take the main road and come here?"
"Hehe!" The man laughed a few times and said, "Why don't you guys follow the official path? Everyone has his own way of doing things, so why bother asking each other."
"Haha!" Qingshi laughed and said, "We are bounty hunters. We came here just to catch those criminals who committed crimes and hid in Tibet without taking the main road, such as... you guy."
"That's unreasonable!" The man was furious, "Why are you so recklessly framed? I am a member of King Hu Lun, how can I allow you to bully me! I have been traveling for a few days and wanted to find a quiet place to take a nap, but I didn't expect to meet so many of you. What an unreasonable fool, huh! I don’t know what to say!”
After saying that, the lean man turned around and leaped onto the ground. The speed of his movements greatly exceeded Qingshi's expectations.
"Catch him!" Qingshi shouted and flew up. Duan and Chen naturally followed.
The man jumped out of the ditch and was about to run wildly when a string of crossbow arrows came. He quickly dodged to avoid it, but the crossbow arrows came fast and in large numbers, forcing him to dodge while drawing a scimitar to block them. These crossbow arrows were naturally fired by Qingshi's two puppets.
The man was dodging and blocking the crossbow arrows and was overwhelmed. Qingshi and three others had already surrounded him. As soon as Qingshi raised his hand, the two puppets stopped shooting and began to pick up the crossbow arrows that fell to the ground.
"What are you going to do?" the man shouted in a stern voice, "Do you dare to rob King Hulun's letter?"
"If you are really the messenger of King Hu Lun," Qingshi smiled, "we will naturally let you go and apologize to you. However, I always feel that I have seen you somewhere, maybe on the wanted order!"
As Qingshi spoke, he raised his hand and took out a large stack of wanted posters, and began to pretend to compare them.
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you," the man scolded, "Get out of the way!"
He suddenly shook his hands, and a large black light hit Qing, Duan, Chen and the others. He jumped up again and ran away quickly. Not only did this man have outstanding physical skills, but the black light hidden weapon he fired was even more powerful. Incredibly, its combat power is even higher than that of Fuya. Unfortunately, he met Qing Duan and Chen.
Naturally, Wu Guang did not hit Qing Duan and Chen, and it was naturally impossible for the man to escape from the encirclement of the three of them. As soon as he moved, he suddenly felt a cold sensation under his ribs, and his feet went soft and he fell to the ground. But he was hit by Chen Tianye's sword.
While flipping through the wanted poster, Qingshi stepped forward and squatted down, raised his hand to turn the man over, looked at it carefully, then dangled a few black steel poison needles in front of his eyes, and then held up a wanted poster. .
"The painting is really bad!" Qingshi shook his head with a smile, and then said, "Xi Bao, male, seventh-level Jindan, thin and small, with snake eyes and an eagle nose, and a scar one or two feet long from the left shoulder to the left breast. He was good at using hundred-refined scimitars and black steel poisonous needles. In the 373rd year of Shenmu New Year, this thief poisoned Lord Haolu and six of his family members, and killed thirty-seven of his slaves, men, women, and children... ..The reward is four hundred high-grade spiritual stones alive and two hundred fifty dead!"
"Hahaha!" Chen Tianye laughed, "He is indeed a wanted criminal, and the bonus is quite high!"
"Hahaha!" Duan Wutian also laughed, "Do you still say that you are a messenger?" As he said that, Duan Wutian stretched out his hand and tore open his left shirt, revealing a shocking scar.
"Damn you guys..." Knowing that he was doomed, Xi Bao opened his mouth to curse. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was slapped by Qingshi and passed out.
"Okay," Qingshi said with a smile, "Now everything is ready. We no longer need to walk through the wilderness and take the main road instead."
"I'm talking about Qingshi," Duan Wutian said, "How do you know who this guy is? You didn't read the wanted posters beforehand."
"You guessed it!" Chen Tianye said, "If this guy is hiding in a place like this, he is naturally a wanted criminal like us."
"That's not necessarily true," Qingshi said, "However, since we have met him, he naturally has to act like this. If he is a wanted criminal, he has sent us a disguise. If he is not, we will pretend to interrogate him, and naturally he will So as to dispel his doubts and prevent him from suspecting that we are wanted criminals and leaking our whereabouts."
The three of them began to turn towards the north direction. The three of them walked casually in front, followed closely by the two puppets. One of them carried a large sack on his shoulder, which naturally contained Xi Bao.
After walking for more than ten miles, the team turned onto an east-west avenue. After continuing along the avenue, we soon walked out of the Great Wasteland and began to enter the Great Ancient Desert.
Another two days passed, and the three of them were walking along the road that sometimes appeared and disappeared, and had gone deep into the desert. Just after noon that day, after climbing over another large sand dune, they finally saw the road ahead. A large area of yellow and green.
Qingshi took out his telescope and looked carefully, and found that it was an oasis. There were not only green spaces with sparse shrubs and wild grasses, but also hundreds of strange-shaped trees.
At the edge of the woods, there is a stone-wood structure house. The house has two floors, a straight citron and a flat roof. It is large in scale. You can vaguely see people moving in the yard outside the house.
"Do you want to go there?" Duan Wutian said, "How about going around."
"Yes!" Chen Tianye said, "It looks like an inn there. It is estimated that many people will gather there to replenish water and food. We are not short of anything, so there is no need to go there."
"No," Qingshi thought for a while and said, "Since we have discovered that place, it is estimated that the people there have also discovered us. If we don't go there, we will feel guilty, and it may lead to pursuit, so let's go there!"
An hour later, the three of them walked into this desert oasis and arrived in front of the big house. They saw a wooden sign hanging on the door wall, with the four characters "North and South Inn" engraved on it.
Walking into the gate, I saw the huge yard covered with yellow sand, and the low walls were piled with broken items such as wheel sets and rusty iron pots. Two men dressed as waiters were repairing something in a corner. When I saw them coming in Don't pay attention.
Under a simple straw hut stood a dozen odd-shaped puppets, which looked similar to the two ballista puppets of Fuya and the others. Judging from the exquisiteness of workmanship, they were far inferior to the two humanoid puppets of Qingshi.
Qingshi knew that the puppetry skills in the Shenmu Continent were not bad, but they focused on practicality and did not seek to resemble humans in appearance. In addition, their tool skills are very poor. They do not have storage containers with large spaces, nor are they able to put large items into special storage containers. Slightly larger puppets cannot be put into storage containers. middle.
Qingshi asked the two puppet guards to walk under the pergola, release Xi Bao, and then walked towards the door. Chen Tianye lifted the thick curtain and Qingshi walked into the house, followed by Duan Wutian and Xi Bao.
The space inside the house is very large, with more than a dozen large square tables and dozens of benches. The light is dim and the smell is unpleasant.
Qingshi glanced around and found that there were at least thirty people in the room. Most of them seemed to be fierce and tough people, so they were divided into seven or eight tables. Behind a long counter, three people dressed as store owners stood.
The room was quite lively, with many people talking and laughing loudly. As soon as Qingshi and the others came in, almost everyone stopped talking and looked at them together.
Qingshi and the other four walked to an empty table and sat down on all sides.
A waiter came over from behind the counter and said expressionlessly: "What do the customers need?"
"Hmm~" Chen Tianye asked, fearing that something was wrong and revealing his secret, "What do you have here?"
"We want wine," Duan Wutian said loudly, "Just bring a few jars of your good wine."
"Wine!" The guy was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Do you think of our inn as the lord's fairy palace? These days, if you can't fill your stomach to full, who the hell has extra food and is willing to use it to make wine? Besides, forget it. Can you afford the wine? Are you here to cause trouble?"
"Is your grandma looking for a slap in the face?" Duan Wutian was furious, "How dare you talk to grandpa like that?" He grabbed the guy and wanted to beat him.
Chen Tianye quickly stopped him and cursed in a low voice to tell him not to cause trouble, and then Duan Wutian sat down angrily. After he sat down, he wanted to take the wine out by himself, but Qingshi glared at him sternly, and he realized something was wrong, so he had to give up angrily.
"Water! We just want clean water." Qingshi smiled slightly and said to the waiter, "My brother was dizzy from the sun. He probably dreamed that he had surrendered the prisoner and received the reward, so he wanted to eat well and drink spicy food! Hey! , wake up! This is not the capital of immortality, we are still in the desert!" The last sentence was naturally directed at Duan Wutian.
"Even in Xiandu!" I heard a rough man at the table next to him laugh, "The bounty for your prey can't even drink a few bowls of good wine!"
Everyone laughed. Xi Bao was wearing handcuffs and leg irons, so everyone knew he was prey.
Duan Wutian couldn't help but feel embarrassed, so he could only touch his bald head in embarrassment and pretend to giggle a few times. When the waiter saw this, he went back with a bad face and soon brought a large pitcher of water, but he only carried it in his hand and did not put it on the table.
"Five hundred low-grade spiritual stones!" the guy said, "Give me the money."
"Grandma's," Duan Wutian became smarter this time, took out a money bag and counted out five medium-grade spiritual stones, slapped them on the table, and cursed with a smile, "This is fucking more expensive than wine. Well!"
Everyone burst into laughter again, saying that it was indeed the case.
The guy took the spirit stone with a straight face, then put the big pitcher on the table and turned around. Seeing that no one seemed to doubt their identities, Qingduan and Chen all took bowls to pour water to drink. The lively atmosphere in the store returned to the atmosphere. Qingduan and Chen also chatted with others. I took the opportunity to get a lot of information.
