An hour later, the sun gradually turned westward and the sunshine was no longer harsh. People in the store began to go their separate ways in twos and threes. After a while, nearly half of the people in the store were gone, and there were only four or five tables with less than twenty people left.
Qing, Duan and Chen were about to escort Xi Bao on the road, but Qingshi suddenly noticed something unusual, so he winked at Duan and Chen to signal them not to leave in a hurry.
The atmosphere in the store suddenly became a little strange. No one was talking anymore. Many people were looking towards the stairs on the second floor intentionally or unintentionally, as if they were waiting for someone to come down from upstairs.
Sure enough, in less than half a quarter of an hour, a man came down the stairs. This man was tall, wearing a black robe, with a beard on his face, messy hair, and a leather belt covered with fine scales around his waist. , carrying a broad and heavy sword on his back.
Seeing this person appear, some people couldn't help but straighten their sitting postures, but the three people in the northwest corner suddenly changed their expressions and stood up together and walked towards the door of the store.
"Stop!" the man said, "If you want to leave, leave early. If you see me show up before leaving, what do you mean?"
"Boss Luo!" The leading man among the three turned around and said, "We brothers originally planned to contribute and share the pie, but now we know that the convener is you. We don't want to participate anymore, so let's say goodbye!" After that, this The three of them will continue walking out.
"Wait!" Boss Luo slowly walked towards the three people and said, "You know me! Why don't you want to work with me? I have a bad reputation? I'm not trustworthy?"
"That's not true!" said the leading man, "We were originally from Lord Vidor. You killed Lord Vidor, and we were responsible for failing to protect him. At that time, several of our brothers also died in your hands. . We dare not expect to seek revenge from you, but we are also unwilling to be sent by you and do things for you."
"Oh~" Boss Luo smiled slightly and said, "I see, it's beyond my expectation that the old monster Wei Duo has such kindhearted people as you under his command. Alas, what a pity! Since you don't want to do it with me , then you shouldn’t have come. Under this situation, do you think I will let you go?”
"We will withdraw as soon as we see you," the leading man said. "We don't know the purpose of your action, so why don't you let us go?"
"You saw me and knew that I organized this operation," said Boss Luo. "You have no choice but to work with me or die. You don't have to come if you accept the summons. If you come, you can't regret it. You can come whenever you want. Just leave! I'm afraid there is no such rule! Since you have a grudge against me, if you withdraw now, you might turn around and report the news to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. How can I let you go?"
"You..." The leading man wanted to retort, but someone behind him stopped him.
The man stopped the leading man and smiled flatteringly at Boss Luo: "Boss Luo, let's do it with you!"
"It's too late!" Boss Luo said, "Since you are not sincere, I will not keep you by my side. You can commit suicide!"
"Walk!"
The leading man suddenly shouted loudly, and with a wave of his right hand, a cold light hit Boss Luo directly. At the same time, he swayed out of the window, but the other two people quickly turned around and walked out of the house.
Boss Luo didn't move, he just waved his hand to collect all the cold light in his hand, and then waved it out again.
Everyone could see that the cold light wielded by Boss Luo clearly drew an arc in the air, and its speed was more than twice as fast as when his original owner sent it. As the cold light flew out of the broken window, there were three muffled groans outside the house, and then three sounds of human bodies hitting the ground.
"Anan," Boss Luo said to the guy who brought Qingshi and the others water, "tidy up."
"Tch~" the guy Anan sneered and said as he walked out the door, "You don't have the ability to do anything, and you still want to eat this bowl of rice with a hob? You obviously have no spine and became the monster's lackey, but you pretend to be loyal! Pretend to be honest. You can't pretend to be thorough..." He muttered and walked out of the door, beckoning the two guys outside the door to come over and help, and together they dragged the bodies of the three people away.
Boss Luo ignored the situation outside, looked around at everyone in the room, and said: Is anyone still going to leave? If you don't want to leave, please take out the summons order. "
Everyone at each table took out a small black wooden sign and placed it on the table. Qingshi looked at the wooden signs and took out an identical wooden sign and placed it on the table. Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian raised questions. With his eyes wide open, Qingshi gently nuzzled towards Xi Bao, indicating that the brand was obtained from Xi Bao.
Boss Luo waited for a few seconds and saw that no one at the table spoke, so he all took out the summons order. Then he nodded with satisfaction and said: "Since we all want to do this, let's get to know each other first! I am Luo Luoshan, the convenor of this business. I was originally the leader of the Jiuzhaigou Lianlian Village in Daqi Mountain. Call me 'Boss Luo', Lian Jiuzhai was destroyed by the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance for nearly twenty years, and I have been a lone thief for twenty years. I can't handle this business by myself, so I need to find some helpers."
After speaking, Boss Luo looked at the four people at the first table in the east.
The leader of the four people was an old man with a hunchback, and the other three were all strong and strong men. The old man said calmly: "I, Mr. Li, only recognize money and not people, and my three apprentices only recognize me. Since we are here, no matter who the convener is or what the specific job is, as long as We will do it as long as it doesn't violate the rules of the meeting. However, the reward must be weighed."
"It turns out to be the Divine Camel of the Wilderness!" Boss Luo nodded and said, "Don't worry, Old Man Li, the pay for this job will be generous and you will definitely be satisfied. As for what it is, please wait a moment."
After Boss Luo finished speaking, he looked at the two people at the second table and said, "If I'm not mistaken, these two are the brothers Tong Zhi and Tong Lu, the 'Black and White Shuangsha', right?"
One of the two men was wearing a white robe and the other was wearing a black robe, and they looked evil.
"That's right!" The man in white robe simply replied, "We only recognize money and not people."
"Where are these people?" Boss Luo looked at the five people at the third table. "Could they be the 'Five Elements Catcher' who is sixth on the bounty hunter rankings?"
"Boss Luo has great eyesight!" said a burly man among the five people. "Jin Yi, please speak on behalf of us brothers and sisters. We are just like Mr. Shentuo, we will definitely do it, as long as the price is right."
"Hmm~" Boss Luo said, "It is said that the five of you are each proficient in one of the five elements. When you fight against the enemy, you can only defeat the enemy without being counterattacked. This is quite interesting. You are the boss, the golden catcher, and the earth catcher should be the boss. Fifth, right? This business is definitely tempting for you two. Just be patient and let me ask the last few. It will be over soon. "
"These three are really giving me a hard time!" Boss Luo turned to the last table, Qing Duan and Chen, and said, "Looking at your attire, you three are also bounty hunters, right? But you don't know what to call them?"
"My name is Hai Ya!" Qingshi said, "These two are my brothers Mang Ju and Kesu Yun."
"Huh?" Boss Luo frowned, "Hai Ya...I remember, you seemed to have been with Fuya and Fomako before! Didn't you say that they have been dead for more than ten years?"
"Hehe!" Qingshi said with a sly smile, "I just pretended to die to avoid my enemies. I wandered the far north for more than ten years and accidentally got a great opportunity, so I came back not long ago."
"Oh!" Boss Luo said, "Now that you are back, the enemy has naturally been solved. Why don't you continue to team up with that pair of shemales?"
"I originally took my two brothers to defect to them," Qingshi said, "However, I found that Fuya and Fomako were no longer worthy of following. So we did it ourselves. The three of us have now formed the Tianxuan Sect. ', I'm not just a bounty hunter, we do all the business that makes money."
"Tianxuanmen?" Boss Luo said, "Fuya and Fomako are no worse than the Five Elements Catchers. If they want to join, I will agree. You three... I'm afraid you have to prove whether you have That strength.”
"These three people can even capture Xi Bao, the Sliding Gopher," Jin Yi said. "This speaks volumes! To be honest, this time we came to the desert wasteland, Xi Bao was one of our targets. , but even though we met him, we couldn't hold him back. I admire these three of you for your good skills!"
"Brother Jin, thank you!" Qingshi said calmly, "This guy's body skills and hidden weapons are not easy to deal with."
"Oh!" Boss Luo looked at Xi Bao, who was sitting upright, unable to move or make a sound, and said, "Is this Xi Bao?"
"Not bad!" Qingshi said, "Our brothers captured him. I wonder if we are qualified to participate in this deal and get a share of the pie?"
Qingshi now understood that this Xi Bao should have received the call to participate in this business, and this person was probably a lone thief.
"Yes!" Boss Luo said, "But if you capture Xi Bao, won't you go back and collect the reward?"
"There's no rush!" Qingshi said, "Now that I'm here, I might as well do it one more time. The key is to see if the business is worth it. We are the same as Senior Shentuo and Brother Jin on this point."
"Okay!" Boss Luo said, "In that case, let me tell everyone. This business trip is to go to the underground dragon palace ruins of the 'Desert Dragon' to find the dragon's inheritance and relics."
"Desert Dragon!"
Except for Qingshi and the others, the other three teams all exclaimed.
"Boss Luo!" Old Man Li said, "The Desert Dragon is just a legend. Are you sure you can find his underground dragon palace?"
"I can't guarantee it!" Boss Luo said, "Even if I find it, I can't guarantee that I can enter and get the treasure smoothly. If the thing is so simple, why should I call all the experts together to do this business?
"However, I have opened a shop in this desert for nearly ten years, and my main purpose is to find this dragon's treasure. I have spent nearly ten years exploring it, and I am somewhat certain about it.
"What I can guarantee is that, regardless of success or failure, you will receive corresponding rewards. If things go well, each of your four teams will get 10% of the treasure. As for how this 10% of the treasure is composed, you must obey my decision in the end.
"In addition, when I come back, I will give each of you alive 500 high-grade spiritual stones, and each of the dead will compensate you with 300 high-grade spiritual stones. This is a guaranteed income, regardless of success or failure."
"Agree!" Shentuo took the lead in expressing his stance.
Others also agreed that such a reward is indeed generous. The key is that if you really get the treasure of the Desert Dragon, you will make a fortune.
"Okay!" Boss Luo nodded and said, "Since everyone has no objections, I will tell everyone the detailed plan in a moment. Now everyone has a rest for a while, and I will treat everyone to roast lamb."
As Boss Luo spoke, several waiters in the store brought several large pots of roasted lamb to each table, as well as a large amount of bread and a taro-like food, as well as large jars of water.
These things are actually supplies for them. According to Luo Luoshan, this expedition may take a long time at best. The food, water, etc. stored in Qingshi's storage containers were more than ten times more than this. Looking at these rotten and hard barbecues, they had no interest at all, but they still put them away.
"Haiya!" Boss Luo said, "What are you going to do with Xi Bao?"
"Boss Luo," Qingshi said, "since you open this store, is it okay to keep Xi Bao here for a few days? Just throw it in the cellar and give him some food and water in three to five days." .”
"Of course it's no problem," Boss Luo said, "But I have a better idea. You can just sell him to me. But you have to sell him for dead! Although it doesn't cost much food and water, it's more expensive to raise. It’s troublesome, it will be even more troublesome if we send someone to escort us to Xiandu.”
"agree!"
Chen Tianye agreed casually and hit Xi Bao on the head with a light palm. Xi Bao was killed instantly without any pain. Chen Tianye gently picked up his limp body, threw it at Boss Luo's feet, and said, "There is nothing better or more convenient than this. Bring me two hundred and fifty high-grade spiritual stones."
"What a good move!" Boss Luo praised, "Just by looking at this palm, he is indeed better than Fuya, I'm afraid even Fomako is not as good as him." After saying that, he gestured towards Anan.
"It's just a dead mouse, what's so clever about it?" Anan threw out a bag of spiritual stones and said with a straight face, "Here! Take it, two hundred and five."
