These six mushroom men had actually set their sights on Jiang Yue and the others the moment they saw Jiang Yue and the others taking out the rough stones and exchanging them for 800 silver coins at the castle guild.
Originally, they were just making money from the sidelines. They were an adventure team on the surface, doing some tasks to maintain their daily expenses. In fact, the frequency with which they receive tasks and complete them is simply not enough to sustain their lavish eating and drinking. Of course, he did a lot of sneaky and bullshit things behind his back. Even killing people and seeking wealth and death was not the first time.
For these six mushroom people, any ethnic origin is nonsense. There are at least 100 million mushroom people in the entire inner earth world, if not 300 million. Do they all feel like one family?
Although the mushroom people group is huge, it has never been an existence that pays attention to the blood of the group. Unity or anything like that is even more nonsense.
There is a saying in the surface world that is quite suitable for the mushroom people.
When a fellow countryman meets a fellow countryman, shoot him in the back.
These six mushroom men are typical shots in the back.
Moreover, they considered this shot to be safe. Based on the experience of the six of them in cold-blooded shooting and scheming, it was not easy to deal with three mushroom people of the same ethnic group.
This is why they have followed us here. They felt that this no-cost transaction was absolutely certain and impossible to miss.
If it were a powerful ethnic group and a small team with extremely strong combat capabilities, even if they were three people, these six mushroom people would definitely not dare to make any ideas. Because most of them are going to death.
Not to mention 800 silver coins, even if it was 8,000 silver coins, they wouldn't be that bold.
But the other party was just three mushroom men, so no accident was possible.
Not only do they want to settle the 800 silver coins, they also have a bigger ambition, which is the rough stone. These three mushroom men are like rough stones as soon as they are released, and the first impression is that they must have more rough stones. Otherwise, only one rough stone would be so generously taken out?
800 silver coins, and the temptation of more rough stones.
The six mushroom people simply couldn't find any reason not to do this deal.
Originally, dealing with three mushroom men seemed to them to be risk-free. But now that they have come to such a place, the trouble they face is not the three mushroom men, but the potential threat that this manor may bring to them.
The most critical part is how to leave.
As long as their retreat is well prepared, they can take action at any time.
However, these six mushroom men couldn't even imagine it. Every move they made was actually within Jiang Yue's expectation.
When these six mushroom men approached Jiang Yue for the first time to show their hospitality and get close to them, Jiang Yue had already observed them through mind reading.
It is true that mind reading cannot fully read the other party's thoughts, but it can still be judged on the most basic orientation of good and evil, whether there is any evil intention, and whether there are other intentions.
Jiang Yue could tell at that time that someone in this group had bad intentions.
After seeing through it for the first time, the reason why Jiang Yue didn't fall out directly was because he didn't want to expose his strength or cause too much trouble.
He originally hoped that these six guys would retreat and stop entangled. He is not overbearing enough to kill anyone with bad intentions.
As long as the other party doesn't look for trouble, Jiang Yue will most likely not take the initiative to look for trouble. Their original intention of coming to the inner earth world was not to compete with such small characters.
But these six mushroom men persevered and followed them to the manor.
This left Jiang Yue speechless and at the same time, murderous intent arose in his heart.
Especially tonight, this group of mushroom people gathered together in a sneaky manner, including the ridiculous deeds of those who went out to investigate, which made Jiang Yue even more certain that these six people had a big plot against them.
Jiang Yue also knew that it was Meng Lang who took out the original stone. All troubles originated from that moment.
However, I was forced to do so at the time. The three of them have no currency in the inner earth world at all. The only valuable thing that they don't worry about exposing human identity is probably the rough stone.
The one he took out was already the smallest of all the rough stones, but he didn't expect it would cause so much trouble.
He originally thought that the rough stones in the inner earth world should be relatively abundant. If you take out a small one yourself, it shouldn't attract much attention.
Unfortunately, I took it a little bit for granted. The preciousness of raw stones in the inner earth world is no less precious than in the surface world.
These six mushroom men were sneaking around the room, sometimes gesticulating, sometimes showing a fierce look, and sometimes looking ferocious.
At this glance, I knew I wasn't holding anything back.
Although Jiang Yue didn't know what they were talking about specifically, judging from their expressions and mouth shapes, these six people must be discussing how to attack the three of them.
Jiang Yue secretly laughed.
These six ignorant mushroom people were completely obsessed with money and had no idea what kind of existence they had offended.
Of course, Jiang Yue had just arrived and had no intention of actively killing anyone.
That night, he knew clearly that the six mushroom men must be discussing some conspiracy when they gathered together, but he did not take the initiative and fell asleep very peacefully.
Early the next morning, Jiang Yue woke up and found that Jiang Qiao had also woken up.
Jiang Qiao didn't sleep too deeply last night. He has been wandering in the surface world for so many years and has experienced countless moments of life and death. He is no longer the simple scholar-type official he was before, but an experienced awakener. The survival ability and self-defense instinct are also quite amazing.
"Xiao Yue, those six mushroom men were sneaky last night. They didn't seem to separate the three rooms. I don't know what they were planning. I suspect that they have been following us all the way here, and they are still plotting against us."
"Dad, there is no doubt, they are just trying to get us."
The third dog also woke up at this time: "These dogs, who gave them the courage! Second uncle, how about I go over and kill them?"
Jiang Qiao hurriedly said: "This is not a place for fighting and killing, and now is not the time to take action."
On the second day after arriving, he was beaten and killed. Master Hu has his own rules. Killing a few mushrooms is a small job, but the situation here is not easy to deal with.
Jiang Yue said calmly: "Sangou, calm down. These six mushroom men are just clowns and pose no threat."
Sangou complained: "But second brother, we can't really work in this medicine garden until the contract expires, right? Let me take care of these medicine gardens, I might as well go back to Panshiling to farm. What a piece of shit is that Mr. Ba? How dare you tell us what to do? You made me unhappy, so I set this bullshit medicine garden on fire."
Isn’t this just farming? It’s even harder than farming.
In the past, the land that was farmed belonged to one's own family, and it had nothing to do with other people's land.
But this medicine garden was not taken care of well, and yet we are still being held accountable?
There is no such thing as this in the world. If Jiang Yue and Jiang Qiao hadn't spoken, Sangou would have sprayed Naba on the spot. Who is used to this bad habit?
Jiang Qiao glared at Sangou: "Sangou, don't make such a fuss. This is the Earth's Inner World, not Star City, not Panshi Ridge. If you mess around, your second brother and I will have to send you back first. Go to the surface world.”
When Sangou heard this, he immediately withered and said with a smile: "Second uncle, I just talk to vent my anger, why do you still take it seriously?"
This kid has a two-skinned face, especially in front of Jiang Qiao and Jiang Yue, he is a real treasure.
Jiang Qiao had nothing to do with him, but looked at Jiang Yue: "Xiao Yue, what do you think?"
"Dad, first of all, we must know that searching for my mother in the inner earth world may not be completed in a day or two. This process may require many twists and turns. And the reason why I agreed to Ga Ye's invitation is why I came here This place. There’s no absolutely good reason.”
Not a good reason?
Jiang Qiao smiled bitterly: "It can't be random, right? I know you want to contact more places, contact more people, and collect more information. But we are trapped in this medicine garden now, and I am afraid that we will be there all day long. We can’t contact more people. Apart from the six mushroom men, there may only be people who deliver food to us. It’s estimated that we won’t be able to collect much useful information from these people.”
Jiang Yue could tell that although his father's tone was calm, some anxiety behind these words was still quite obvious.
"Dad, I said there's no good reason, but I didn't say there's no reason at all. We can't just wander around randomly and just take care of where we go."
"So you have your reasons for coming here?"
"Yes, I have done some deductions with great deduction skills along the way. Why would I refuse invitations from other teams? Because I can't deduce any valuable clues from them. And Ga Ye's invitation includes entering this manor , I have deduced some clues. These clues may not be able to give clear directions for the time being, but it is basically certain that if you go in this direction, you will gain something and it will be a correct move."
It's like walking in a maze. Maybe you make countless wrong choices while walking around in the maze.
But there must be a correct path out of the maze.
Jiang Yue is currently unable to fully deduce the correct path, let alone design the correct path.
But every step you take, whether you have inspiration or a clue, the great deduction technique can still give you some hints.
The Great Deduction Technique is one of the three techniques in the "Nine Techniques of Stealing the Sky". It is comparable to the Great Shuttle Technique and the Great Time Technique.
After the Nine Heaven-Stealing Techniques have been upgraded several times, these three techniques have become somewhat intrusive.
Since the great deduction technique shows that agreeing to Ga Ye's invitation is not a wrong choice, it is even a correct step, even if it is impossible to see through the situation at the moment, Jiang Yue will naturally not back down.
It's like walking in a fog. You can't penetrate the fog to see the whole truth of things, but you can slowly uncover the fog and reach the truth by following the right direction.
"Then what should we do next? Those six mushroom men will probably take action sooner or later. How should we respond? We can't be passive and not fight back, right?"
"If they really don't know how to live or die, why should we send them on their way?"
Jiang Qiao felt relieved when Jiang Yue said this.
"It's easy to handle if you have confidence in your mind."
While they were talking, the manor servants who brought them breakfast arrived outside.
Although the food is average, three meals a day are quite punctual.
The six mushroom men also walked out of the house one after another, looking in high spirits, and their rest was not at all affected by last night's gathering.
"Everyone, Mr. Ba has told you to wait here after breakfast. Someone will come soon to teach you how to serve these elixirs."
After being reminded by the servant who delivered the meal, after they finished eating, they cleared away the tableware and left.
Not long after, as expected, a master who cultivated elixirs came to the medicine garden with two medicine boys.
The appearance of this old master looked close to that of a human being, but the first impression he gave Jiang Yue was that the old master looked like an ancient elixir, with that kind of fairy-like temperament. It's easy to make people feel good.
The old master was probably a skilled master, and he didn't have that kind of sour preaching, and he didn't have any arrogance.
Instead, he uses a very down-to-earth tone and very concise language to teach them how to serve these elixirs and how to maintain them on a daily basis.
How to water, how to fertilize, how to decontaminate...
According to the theory of cultivation in the surface world, the concept of decontamination does not exist at all. No matter what crops are planted, there is no problem of decontamination.
But the elixir of the inner earth world is a different concept.
Decontamination is the core part.
The so-called decontamination refers to how to keep the elixir spiritual and prevent its spiritual power from being eroded by various pollution from the outside world.
The pollution sources come from all aspects, including many natural factors and man-made factors.
After Jiang Yue and the others listened, they vaguely understood why the mushroom people were asked to take care of these elixirs.
Because these elixirs cannot be served by ethnic groups with murderous intentions and violent bloodlines.
In the inner earth world, there are thousands of ethnic groups, but in fact they can only be distinguished into three categories.
One is the blood-eating type, also known as the mad type. The general understanding is those groups that prefer animals.
The other type is the pure heart type, also known as the pure type. It is generally understood to be a group that prefers plants.
The third category includes all categories except the other two categories, including ethnic groups formed by the various natural spiritual powers of heaven and earth, also known as spiritual systems.
According to classification, mushroom people are actually a pure ethnic group. Naturally, they have a greater affinity for plants like elixirs. And it is more suitable for the growth status of elixir.
Of course, there are thousands of pure ethnic groups. The mushroom people also have unique advantages among these thousands of pure ethnic groups.
Mushroom people have a characteristic that they are particularly good at absorbing all kinds of dirt. And they are less susceptible to poisoning.
In other words, the poison-carrying properties of the mushroom people allow them to automatically absorb the sources of pollution around the elixir, allowing the elixir to be naturally purified and ensuring that their spiritual power will not be lost to the greatest extent.
"Haha, these are some of the things I have figured out recently. I recruited a few of you to try out the effect. If the effect is good, your mushroom people group will get more opportunities in the future. This is for you, It's also a good thing." The old master said with a smile.
