Chapter 47 Encountering a black shop on the road, a swamp village
Lin Dong was stunned for a moment. No matter how stupid he was, he understood that this was a black shop, or a shop that specialized in blackmailing outsiders.
There seems to be a lot of food on this table, but in fact there is not much money at all. Ten gold coins are enough.
However, the restaurant owner actually asked for 10,000 gold coins, accompanied by four or five burly men. Isn't this a threat?
Lin Dong blinked and saw the diners around him leaving one after another. He suddenly smiled and asked: "Do I look easier to bully?"
"Of course." The restaurant manager put one foot on the stool, brushed the few hairs on a large black mole on his face with his hand, and said condescendingly.
"You look unfamiliar, so you are not a local. You are young, sixteen or seventeen years old, which means you are not experienced in the world, but you are still so good at eating, which means you are a warrior.
To sum up, you have no backing, you are easily fooled, and you should be able to take out so much money."
puff!
Lin Dong drank the water calmly, but before he could swallow it, all the water spurted out and splashed all over the restaurant owner.
The four or five strong men suddenly stood up, shaking their muscles, their eyes widened like bells, and a fierce aura pressed towards Lin Dong.
The restaurant owner wiped his face, waved his hands and said, "What are you doing? Don't scare the children. We are just asking for money and will not harm anyone's life. Please sit down."
Several strong men plopped down and sat down, and the restaurant owner continued: "Little brother, I have said everything I need to say, will you give me the money?"
For the first time, Lin Dong understood the tough folk customs of Haiyue City, and he was very reasonable when blackmailing people.
But no matter what, they dare to bully them because they look too weak.
You still have to rely on your fists to conquer the world!
He stood up slowly. After standing up, he was a head taller than the restaurant owner. He looked down at the other person and said in a cold tone.
"Who told you that if you eat too much, you must be a martial artist? I wonder what kind of punishment you will receive if you blackmail a spiritual practitioner?"
boom!
After Lin Dong finished speaking, a ray of vitality condensed on his body, like a strong wind blowing, and the dishes on the table flew away in an instant, clattering to the floor.
The little golden abacus slapped the shopkeeper directly on the face.
At this moment, the restaurant manager was dumbfounded, and even the strong men sat down on the ground with a plop, rolling and crawling towards the distance.
The owner of the restaurant suddenly removed the abacus from his face with a strong movement of his hand. His teeth turned into a grin, and his face changed into a smile.
He stretched out his hand tremblingly, straightened Lin Dong's clothes, and then said: "Sir, please calm down! Actually, we are here to ask, do you need anything else?"
Don’t worry, this table is completely free for us, as long as you are happy!”
Lin Dong snorted coldly, slapped ten gold coins on the table, and was about to leave, but after thinking about it, he stopped again and asked.
"The amount of drug in your food is not enough. The formula is rubbish. It may be effective on ordinary people. Don't use it next time."
After saying that, he patted the restaurant manager on the shoulder, turned around and left.
It wasn't until Lin Dong walked out of the restaurant that the shopkeeper looked grim. He didn't blackmail the person, especially since everyone in the room had just run away without giving him any money.
The shopkeeper couldn't hold it back and started crying!
At this moment, Lin Dong was full of wine and food, and bought a map in the grocery store. According to the markings on it, Haiyue City was right in the middle of Huanhai Sect and Blood Moon Sect.
Moreover, the shopkeeper of the grocery store is a good man. He told Lin Dong that this city is the last turning point to the two major sects, so there is a mix of fish and dragons here all year round, and deceptions and abductions abound.
If you want to go to the two major sects, you must first pass through a swamp. The swamp is covered in miasma. Unless you fly across it from the sky, people like Lin Dong will not be able to get through it.
The two major sects also have their own recruitment locations in Haiyue City, but they only have the opportunity to recruit once a year.
It's just out of date now, so most of the young people like Lin Dong who wanted to take a chance died in the swamp.
It was precisely because of this that the shopkeeper of the grocery store reminded Lin Dong like this.
Lin Dong sensed the other party's kindness, gave him a few more gold coins, and turned around to leave.
Following the direction on the map, he left the city and walked all the way to the Ziyun Mountains. On the way, he met some people who were also running towards the Huanhai Sect.
Lin Dong remained calm and walked straight to the swamp.
This swampland is shrouded in a poisonous miasma that is thousands of feet high. It is difficult for ordinary people to pass through it.
But because there were so many people walking, we suddenly found a path in the swamp.
At this moment, people arriving one after another gathered on this road.
Wherever there are people, there is trade. It is precisely because of the gathering of these people that there is actually a simple village here, which not only provides a place for people to rest, but also sells various cultivation resources.
"Young heroes, if you want to pass through the swamp, detoxifying pills are indispensable equipment. I dare not say if there are too many, at least they can detoxify common poisons.
I come here to make good friends with all the young heroes. You can get one for only 100,000 gold coins, or you can trade it for ten low-grade Yuan stones.
Quantities are limited, while supplies last!”
"The best ebony brand. When you enter the swamp, you will be hard-pressed to guard against all kinds of mosquitoes, rats, and ants. Dealing with this little poison is the most troublesome.
Don’t be afraid! As long as you have my top-quality ebony cards, you can easily dispel these little poisons and give you a peaceful world."
"Everyone, the poison in the swamp is certainly terrible, but there are medicines to cure it, but there are also powerful monsters in it. In addition to powerful mortal beasts, there are also more terrifying spiritual beasts.
Therefore, what I sell here are protective spiritual weapons. With my spiritual weapons, you can kill spiritual beasts and cross the swamp safely."
Hearing these people's hawking, their words were so vivid that Lin Dong, who had just arrived, believed them.
However, when he saw those spiritual weapons and ebony cards, most of them were fakes, and even the bottles of the elixirs were stained with blood.
This was obviously recovered from the swamp, as most of it was found on dead people.
Lin Dong was shocked and gave up the idea of purchasing.
At this time, Lin Dong saw a chubby young man jumping onto a big rock, his whole body trembling.
He didn't care about this, but directly spoke: "Rely on your parents at home, and rely on your friends outside. As the saying goes, more friends open more roads, and fewer enemies save a life.
Everyone, we are all people with dreams, we all want to reach Huanhai Sect and become a man on the mountain.
There is still one person left in my dream team. If anyone wants to join the spiritual practice, they will leave as soon as the number is full!" The little fat man shouted for a long time until his voice became hoarse, and no one asked.
On the contrary, there were several teams on the opposite side, each of which had beauties recruiting young people who passed by, and the effect was much better than his.
"Handsome man, come to our team. You will be accompanied by beautiful women on the journey, so you will never be lonely. There will also be strong men to escort you, so you are guaranteed to succeed!"
A team extended an olive branch to newcomer Lin Dong, but Lin Dong did not want to join any team.
He already knew clearly that the width of this swamp was about a thousand miles. He exhausted all his energy to fly, and could only fly two hundred miles at most.
In other words, he needs to stop in this swamp at least four times. It seems safe, but there is a big crisis hidden in it.
Therefore, he needs an absolutely safe place to stay so that he will not be killed when he recovers his strength.
