Seeing the hesitation on Yin Yi's face and the hesitation on the part of others, Ye Zhongming knew that the request he made might make it difficult for these free Bourbon leaders.
"Are you having any trouble?"
Indy is the leader of the team with six people left. He is a free explorer in Ailiu City, one of the countless cities in the endless wilderness. The people around him are all his good friends and they are also free explorers. , they formed a fixed expedition team.
Just like any living place, Ailiu City is also a place with levels and classes.
There is a high-ranking city committee, a powerful alliance of explorers, and domineering nobles and craftsmen.
People like Indy are not at the bottom of Ailiu City, but they can't even reach the median, and are only slightly better than the proletarians such as beggars and hard laborers.
This time, they came here to obtain red scarf fruits. These fruits are very useful. After taking them, they can help young people have a greater chance of becoming explorers. Their effect is similar to the one-star evolution potion. If taken by an explorer, it can also enhance some of one's own abilities. The longer the red scarf fruit matures, the better the effect will be.
However, the red scarf fruits that have grown over the years are all in the center and highest part of the red scarf tree crown, and there is no way for ordinary explorers to get them.
Obviously, Indy and his team of explorers found nothing this time, and one person died.
"Ye, you want to go to the border. It's very far there and you can't walk there. And any way to get there requires... a lot of money. But we..."
Indy was a little embarrassed, which made Ye Zhongming a little surprised.
This... doesn't seem to have anything to do with him, right? How could he feel embarrassed about his poverty? Could it be that he wanted to help Ye Zhongming pay for his travel expenses?
"I think you have some misunderstandings. I will figure out a solution for the money issue myself." Ye Zhongming could only explain in good faith, and his affection for these people increased a little. At the same time, he also lamented that although this is not the end of the world, These people will treat others as friends after they have known each other for a few days, which makes it difficult for them to gain an advantage in the competition.
"Ah?" Yin Di and others were stunned for a moment, then coughed twice and said: "Actually, we might be able to do some tasks together and make some money, so that we can save enough for travel expenses."
After saying that, as if he was afraid that Ye Zhongming would disagree, Indy quickly said: "You don't need to do a lot, just do some things that our previous dead companion did. If we all cooperate with each other, we will definitely make money. "
Ye Zhongming blinked and suddenly felt that he was naive.
……………………………………………………
Ye Zhongming admires the scenery of Heima Valley. There are beautiful weathered rocks of different shapes, a salt lake that is half water and half ice, tall succulent plants, and patches of velvet meadows. Of course, There are also tall red scarf trees.
In the Heima Valley, red scarf trees are not uncommon, but most of them are connected together in patches. Their fallen leaves and red scarf fruits fall and rot due to some natural reasons, forming a unique mulch.
These mulch soils are the favorite environment for insects like ants. The previous insect towers were formed by these insects attached to the fallen leaves.
It can be said that the Red Scarf Forest is a gathering place for these ants. No matter how much life invades, they will be attacked wildly.
Now, Indy kept nagging on the side. He really didn't expect that Ye Zhongming would come back here to get the Red Scarf Fruit.
"Ye, although we only found three red scarf trees, they are all adult trees that have grown for many years. The range of the tree canopy is very wide, and the range of fallen leaves is also very wide. There are a lot of hey ants, and several of us have failed. After this once, it won't help to go again. You... I know you are short of money and want to go to the border, but if your life is gone, you will have nothing."
Facing Indy, Ye Zhongming smiled and said, "Why did you choose the red scarf fruit before?"
"Because it's valuable."
A female member of the team said: "Red scarf fruits have always been in short supply in the city. The special ones are those that are very old and are even more valuable."
"Although what Yaqin said is not absolutely correct, with our ability, the most valuable thing we can obtain is the Red Scarf Fruit, the remaining rare materials or ores, and the world-famous Hey Ant Emperor, that is not something we can get involved with."
The two female members are usually responsible for the sales and intelligence collection of the team. They have a lot to say when it comes to this. The second female member is called Rankin, and she is the most powerful explorer in the team after Indy.
"That's right. Since red scarf fruits are the most cost-effective, of course we are going to hunt them."
Ye Zhongming shrugged, as if it was a matter of course.
"It requires a lot of preparations, such as plant blankets to hide the scent, insect repellent liquid, etc. Now we have nothing. It is wishful thinking to get the red scarf fruit."
Without Indy's good temper, one male member had a bad tone. He didn't quite understand why the captain was so interested in this man of unknown origin. Is it just because he was good-looking? Besides, judging from his appearance, this person is obviously not from the same race. If his identity is unknown, there will be a lot of trouble in the future.
What's more, I don't understand why this person came to hunt for red scarf fruits on his own initiative, and the captain had to follow him. Wouldn't it be better to let him fend for himself?
Ye Zhongming didn't care what this person thought, because this was normal, and Indy's behavior was abnormal.
After glaring at his members, Indy wanted to continue talking to Ye Zhongming, but suddenly found that this man began to speed up. The remaining members looked at each other and paused for a while. After Ye Zhongming had already walked far away, Decided to follow up and have a look.
They didn't go far to begin with, and soon the group returned to the place where Ye Zhongming first met these people. The three red scarf trees were not far away.
"You will be discovered when you enter the outer part of their canopy, and the insect tower inside will appear immediately, making it impossible to get in." Indy was still trying to dispel Ye Zhongming's idea, "Oh, we accidentally discovered this place during an expedition. I thought There are only three red scarf trees. It will be easier to obtain red scarf fruits. Unexpectedly...it seems that we still overestimated ourselves."
"Ye." Indy said, turned to look at Ye Zhongming, and comforted him with a deep and affectionate look: "Look, we have said so much, we just don't want you to be... here in vain... Lost his life..."
Later, Indy's voice became quieter, and the last few words were inaudible.
Because he saw that two huge white beings suddenly appeared above the head of this man named Ye!
