The three well-founded lines not only convinced the old man, but even Jiang Qiao, a madman who wanted to save his wife, had nothing to say.
Jiang Qiao also knew that three generations of his family's sneaking into the inner world was not just a task of rescuing his wife.
Even cruelly speaking, rescuing his wife is just one of many tasks. It may be a bit unkind to say this. But before tonight, they were not even sure whether his wife was still alive. After all, ten years ago,
The captives on the surface have long become raw materials for the development of special medicines.
To take a step back, even if various deductions and intuitions indicate that the wife is still alive, where the wife is imprisoned is also unknown, with too many unpredictable factors.
Compared with the battle for survival between the two places, one person's life and death seems so insignificant after all.
Perhaps for Jiang Qiao and Jiang Yue, her life is more important than anything else.
But they also knew after all that if they could save just one person, the crisis in the surface world would not be resolved, and everything would be in vain.
By relieving the crisis on the surface world and completely defeating the conspiracy of the Inner Earth Clan, one person, or even hundreds of millions of people, will be able to survive.
Having locked onto the clue of Bachelor Tongye, Jiang Yue was not in a hurry to follow him 24 hours a day.
On the other hand, Tang Li and his group had to pay attention to their business with Shi Xiaowei. According to their agreement, this was undoubtedly a large-scale operation against the surface world.
In the past, the Geocentric Tribe entered the surface world to plunder, and the largest scale was only a few hundred people. But this time, the target was directly aimed at the survivor base with tens of thousands of people.
There is no doubt that the Earth Center Clan's appetite is expanding. As small-scale sneak attacks continue to be successful and they taste the benefits again and again, the Earth Center Clan is also intensifying, advancing the speed and scale of plunder.
And if this plundering operation of tens of thousands of people is allowed to be completed, the future will be even crazier and the appetite will be greatly increased. By then, the disaster in the surface world will really come.
Jiang Yue raised this question.
At the same time, he asked: "Grandpa, can our Lao Jiang family's secret incense method be used again?"
Mr. Yunhe smiled bitterly and said: "Didn't I say it last time? That was the last time. If you want to use it again, you can only go back to the surface world and arrange it again. This secret method is very complicated, and it is very cumbersome to arrange it."
Sangou interjected: "It would be great if this could be like the past. A mobile phone can solve it."
After experiencing the communication capabilities of the Sunshine Age, everyone really misses that era.
But this is the inner earth world. Even if the communication in the surface world is restored, deep in the earth's core, no matter how strong the communication signal is, it will not be able to cover it.
This kind of thing can only be thought of.
"Dad, don't you have many fellow Taoists? Can you arrange for the people on the periphery to return to the surface world to give a warning? With tens of thousands of people, this is a big deal. If it is really done by the Earth Center Clan, it will be a huge blow to the surface world.
, and it is an unprecedented victory against the Earth Center Tribe. It will definitely be greatly encouraged."
Mr. Yunhe nodded slowly: "Returning to the surface world is not easy. The inner earth world has its own unique passages, and we can also dig new ones. In the inner earth world, we have limited mobility and without the support of various equipment, it is impossible to dig new ones.
Passages. As for the old passages and abandoned passages, we don’t have much control over them, and many of them may still be strictly guarded. If we send messages back to our comrades in the inner earth world, I’m afraid they won’t be able to match the speed of the team of adventurers from the inner earth tribe. etc.
Our people worked so hard to get back to the surface world, and they may have fought back and forth several times."
This is also true.
Take Jiang Yue and the others as an example. The passage they used to come to the inner earth world is very far away from the Titan city. Not only are they separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, but they are also separated by the disaster of earth smoke. If they want to return to the same place, there are no one or two.
It's impossible to reach it by taking a detour.
As for other passages, they don't know about them at all.
The problems faced by Jiang Yue and others are also the problems faced by other surface lurkers. Even if they know two individual channels, they are still limited.
Moreover, these passages are most likely to be heavily guarded. Passages like those that are completely abandoned or temporarily in a vacuum state are completely dependent on luck.
The old man also knew that his words might affect the emotions of several people.
Immediately he said: "I will use secret methods to contact my fellow surface lurkers on the periphery. If someone masters the nearest passage, this matter can be saved."
"I'm afraid this won't be easy. The nearest passage to the Titan City-State must be the passage that the Titan City-State uses. I'm afraid it will be difficult for surface Taoists to use this passage to return." Jiang Yue analyzed.
The old man nodded: "There is no other way. But there is still a question, which survivor base are they going to attack, which country and which region in the surface world?"
Jiang Yue smiled bitterly and said: "That Colonel Shi is very cunning. I'm afraid he won't inform Tang Li in advance before the final departure. I guess he is also worried that those adventurers have other tricks."
This is another trouble.
If Jiang Yue found out which survivor was attacked now, there might be a time difference of about two days that he could use.
When the Earth Center Tribe adventurer team sets off, we will find out the specific information. This is equivalent to starting from the same starting line as the Earth Center Tribe and competing for speed.
This is obviously extremely unfair to the surface lurkers. After all, this is the territory of the Earth Core Clan, and the passage leads from the Earth Core World to the surface world.
Starting from the same starting point, how can the lurkers on the surface be faster than the inner earth tribe when they have to evade so many eyes and ears?
The old man said: "Let's just do our best on this matter. It's impossible for the surface world to stay still for such a long time, and there will always be progress. Adventurers like the Geocentric Clan want to launch a large-scale sneak attack with such a small number of people.
A base of tens of thousands of people really has a huge appetite. If they succeed, it means that human beings on the surface have not made any progress at all. To put it mildly, a base of tens of thousands of people will be eaten up by a team of more than a thousand people. Old man, I can only say eight
This word expresses sadness for his misfortune and anger for his inability to fight."
Sangou, who had been silent until now, nodded in agreement: "Grandpa is right, tens of thousands of logs are enough for the Geocentric Clan to chop down their hands. If a base with tens of thousands of people can't withstand the attack of a thousand people, how can we call people to do it?"
You deserve to be caught all in one fell swoop."
If it had been the beginning of the weirdness, when the Sunshine Era had just entered the Weird Era, when no one was awakened and everyone's combat effectiveness was almost zero, it would have been reasonable for this kind of thing to happen.
The surviving humans on the surface now are all Xiaoqiang who survived several times of evolution and narrowly escaped death. Although they are not said to be powerful in combat, they are by no means free to be slaughtered.
The three generations of their ancestors and grandchildren who have lived in the city-state of Titan naturally know which end is light and which is heavy.
They have so much to worry about in the world on the surface. They can only do their best, but if they really can't take care of it, they can only say four words and leave it to fate.
Early on the next morning, Jiang Yue continued to purchase elixir materials for the Abyssal Tribe. However, it was obvious that the elixir materials were becoming more and more difficult to acquire. Several people almost broke their legs running, and they could only barely meet the quota requirements.
, and the purchase price has doubled several times.
Jiang Yue calmly said to Mr. Ming during the delivery: "Sir, we have tried every means to purchase elixir materials. Today, the clerks in several stores are whispering privately that they may not be able to buy them tomorrow. No matter how early we go,
It’s all in vain. Therefore, we can only work for Mr. Ming on this errand until today. I’m very grateful to you for taking care of me these days.”
Mr. Ming seemed to have expected it, and was not too harsh. He said calmly: "You mushroom people are more reliable than many errand runners. I am very satisfied with your performance. There is no need to buy the elixir materials for the time being, but you
If you are willing, the Abyss Tribe can provide you with a long-term job, and you will be under my command, are you willing?"
Jiang Yue said hurriedly: "If you are willing to work for the Abyss clan, I am naturally willing to do it a hundred times."
"Well, in that case, you will do one thing in the past few days. Go to the major elixir stores to find out who is behind the purchase of these elixir materials, including the purchase channels of these elixir stores, etc... This is the job
Okay, I will protect your future. Do you trust me?"
Jiang Yuedao: "Of course I believe it. To be honest, the income that Mr. Sir has allowed us to earn these days is already a figure that we did not dare to imagine in the past few years."
Mr. Ming was very satisfied with this attitude: "Well, you go and do this errand. It's not difficult to make money by hanging out with the Abyssal Tribe. What you need is face. Think about it, if you mushroom people go out, what will others do?
What’s the attitude towards you? But if you put on the Abyssal Clan’s clothes and bear the Abyssal Clan’s brand, what’s the attitude of others towards you?”
"That must be one heaven and one underground." Jiang Yue sighed with emotion.
It's not that Jiang Yue can't do without Mr. Ming's job and really wants to get something from the Abyssal Clan. It's that he doesn't want to lose this relationship with the Abyssal Clan.
Therefore, after accepting this errand, Jiang Yue could legitimately continue to contact the Abyssal Tribe.
The errand Mr. Ming asked him to do was actually the second line planned by Jiang Yue. It can be said that this errand did not affect his actions at all, but could be combined with this line to carry out reconnaissance legitimately.
The three of them walked on the street and went from store to store. There was no purchase task today anyway, and they had no sense of urgency. They just took matters into their own hands.
After visiting several elixir shops, the clerks who had received their benefits had long recognized them and would not follow them in vain.
Tell them directly, don't even think about buying those magical medicinal materials today. There is no stock today, there won't be any tomorrow, and there probably won't be any stock for a while in the future.
As for when the goods will be available, it depends on the specific situation. Anyway, the store clerk can't tell, and even the boss probably doesn't know how the market will change.
All in all, it is out of stock.
Not only one family is like this, but every family is like this. I don’t know whether they received any notification or received some unknown pressure.
All in all, it is no longer for sale. However, the external caliber is that it is out of stock. But is it out of stock? At least Jiang Yue doesn't believe it.
Facts also proved Jiang Yue's guess. There were still a lot of goods, and they were waiting in the warehouses of major stores, but they just wouldn't sell them.
It's just that Jiang Yue didn't have time to find out the reason for a while.
Of course, you can use your toes to think that the reason here is probably related to the Titan Academy. I am afraid that the Academy has exerted some pressure.
"Second brother, how about we light these warehouses on fire?" Sangou couldn't hold himself back. He thought of the three lines mentioned by the second brother. Isn't this the second line?
Jiang Yue smiled and said, "What's the hurry? Where are we now? How many warehouses can you burn down by yourself? Besides, there are more suitable people than us to do these things."
"Second brother, you mean the Baoshu tribe?"
"It's not just the Baoshu tribe. There are a lot of people who don't want to see the Titan Academy develop."
Sangou chuckled and said, "I think the Abyssal Tribe is also very unhappy."
"You can see it, so what does that mean? It means that Titan Academy's appetite is too big this time, and it has already made people angry."
"Besides, burning down the warehouse is not enough. There are also purchasing channels. To cause damage, it is best to destroy the source together. Let them be completely unable to repair within a cycle..."
"Hey, second brother, it has to be you. If Titan Academy offends you, you will be unlucky for eight lifetimes."
After a day's visit, the two visited almost all the hundreds of shops in Titan City, including where their warehouse was, and clearly drew a route map.
In fact, although shops are distributed in every corner of the city, the warehouses are actually relatively concentrated. They are a special area used to store goods. There are special facilities and formations to maintain the aura of the elixir materials from being lost.
These facilities and formations must be maintained at a high price, which means that the warehouse cannot be too dispersed. If it is too dispersed, each store cannot bear the cost alone. The price at the consumer terminal will also be very scary, which will inevitably affect the business.
The warehouses are so concentrated, which is great good news.
With this good news, Jiang Yue and others returned to the tavern. As soon as they walked in, Jiang Yue suddenly frowned and sensed a strange aura.
He glanced around casually, but saw no obvious abnormalities.
Later, Jiang Yue's eyes fell on a small table in the corner. There was a lone adventurer there, who looked very depressed. Judging from his behavior, it was clear that he did not want to offend the public and deliberately went to the inconspicuous place.
Sitting in the corner.
This person is 100% from the Geocentric Clan, and looking at his dusty appearance, he seems to have some strange injuries on his body.
Jiang Yue quickly found his father who was sitting in the tavern and asked: "Dad, did you use the control charm?"
Jiang Qiao said blankly: "I have been acting together with you these days, and I have never acted alone."
"Could it be Grandpa?" Jiang Yue was muttering, when Old Yunhe popped up, "I thought it was the puppet of the Geocentric Clan that you controlled. Isn't it your handiwork?"
Jiang Yue smiled bitterly and said, "It's definitely not me. If it was me, I'd know better."
It turned out that there was a familiar aura about the Geocentric clan member that Jiang Yue saw underneath, and it was clear that someone had given him a control talisman.
This is the unique method of the Lao Jiang family.
