There is food and drink, the room is ventilated from all sides, and the scenery outside is pleasant.
But the others who followed were not so good.
One or two, staying together with a group of strange beasts. At night, the bugs were as big as a fist. One person slept so deeply that when he woke up, he was almost mummified by mosquitoes. If the superpower next to him hadn't discovered it, he might have died on the spot.
possible.
"It's so uncomfortable, this night..."
A group of people got up and cursed. They never wanted to come to this damn place again.
"Yes, this place... is not inhabited by humans at all."
"The most important thing is that the smell of those strange beasts is so strong, I feel like I am not falling asleep, but being fainted."
obviously.
They had a very uncomfortable life, whether it was yesterday's dinner or the place to rest.
What's even worse is that if the four beast kings don't agree today, won't they continue to live there?
While they were discussing, they happened to pass by where Li Xiu lived.
Li Xiu stretched, holding a small bottle of wine in his hand, and opened the lid. The charming aroma of wine spread among the crowd, and many people who liked wine looked over with wide eyes.
"Woo~"
Not far away, an ape brought a carefully prepared breakfast. Li Xiu said thank you and sat at the table to eat alone. The treatment was so different that a group of people almost vomited blood.
Why?
We all came together, why is Li Xiu treated so well?
And they...
He eats the same thing as pig food and sleeps worse than a dog...
Here in Li Xiu, there are birds chirping and flowers fragrant, as well as fine wine and delicacies...
At night, there are strange animals taking good care of you.
"Tell me, is it the beast king who doesn't like Li Xiu and deliberately flatters and kills him?"
"It's possible that if this happens, we will definitely have objections to Li Xiu and be ostracized by everyone..."
"Having said that, I feel a lot better."
A group of people, comforting themselves.
Then we came to the open-air square yesterday. The four beast kings also arrived, but the negotiation did not start.
A group of team members wondered: "Everyone, Beastmasters... what they said yesterday..."
"No hurry! There are still people who haven't come yet."
"Someone didn't come?"
"Who?"
At the same place, Li Xiu slowly came over and sat at a table by himself.
Only then did everyone understand who the four beast kings were talking about.
One or two, staring and gnashing their teeth.
Even the words he used to comfort himself before were of no use now.
"Okay, now you can talk about things that are common in my place. This matter is not impossible to talk about, but...there are conditions!"
"condition?"
A group of people looked at each other in confusion. When they came, they all knew that this was a fatal mission.
Even the Eighth Princes were very perfunctory and just said a few words to them.
Who knew that the negotiation was successful now?
But this condition...
They don't have the right to decide either.
"Fellow beast kings... we..." The eight teams looked troubled.
"Um?"
The four beast kings seemed to have seen something, and their faces suddenly turned cold: "Don't tell me, you have no bargaining rights. Since you are sent here, you should have some authority, or... you are not sincere at all? Are you here?
Are you kidding us?"
"hehe!"
Having said this, the faces of the four beast kings turned cold.
The members of the eight teams were all frightened to death.
They are not here to make fun, they are here to die... But who wants to die? If the problem can be solved peacefully, then the conditions are...
Anyway, when the time comes to bring the words back, whether the eight princes agree or not is their business!
"I heard that you humans can mine something called purple coins, which contains energy, and it has a great effect on alien beasts. Let's do this... you bring 10 million purple coins, and three hundred kilograms.
The medicinal liquid that can be used by alien beasts, this time, even if it is agreed."
"What?"
A group of people who originally wanted to muddle through were furious when they heard the price.
Ten million purple coins?
Equivalent to one billion blue coins and one hundred billion white coins...
For such a price, even if it takes Wang Chuan's total income for a month, it's almost this amount.
The four beast kings want 10 million purple coins?
Not to mention the eight princes, even their marshal did not dare to agree.
As for the 300 kilograms of liquid medicine, the entire Wangchuan River only produces 50 kilograms a month...
They need to save for six months to raise enough. With so many things, it is equivalent to draining the entire Wangchuan area at once. This kind of condition is too outrageous.
Seemingly seeing the embarrassment of the eight teams, the four beast kings continued: "Don't worry, we are not talking about this single right of passage, but a permanent right of passage. Of course, in addition to the one-time payment, every
Every month you must pay one million purple coins and thirty kilograms of liquid medicine as tolls!"
But even if the four beast kings said so, the eight teams would not dare to agree arbitrarily.
They could only look at each other, no one dared to speak.
Just when everyone was in a dilemma, Li Xiu stood up and agreed: "There is no reason for us not to agree to the four beast kings' generous terms!"
"That's it. We've decided to tell the Eighth Princes when we get back. We will definitely be able to reach cooperation!"
Li Xiu had discussed it with the four beast kings last night. At worst, he would change the price afterwards until the eight princes could accept it.
After all, negotiation is like negotiating business, it can be high or low.
But when the others saw that Li Xiu actually agreed on behalf of everyone, they immediately stood up. As a result, the four beast kings looked at him coldly, and these people were frightened by the cruel eyes and sat back.
"Very good! It's rare for a human being to have a person who dares to take action. Since we have agreed, let's have a good meal and then go back to life."
This time, the four beast kings did not make things difficult for everyone, and they had enough food and drink.
During this period, Li Xiu and the four beast kings looked at each other, as if they were happy to cooperate.
That day, everyone left the valley and went back to resume their duties.
On the way, a group of people couldn't bear it anymore and angrily shouted: "Li Xiu, what are you doing? Why do you agree to help us? Do you know what this means?"
"Do you know how outrageous the conditions proposed by the four beast kings are?"
"Yeah! Then, how come no one jumped out to object at that time." Li Xiu rolled his eyes at these people. He didn't dare to speak at that time, but now one or two jump out to be heroes?
"I...we just..."
Everyone was speechless. Looking at Li Xiu who was immersed in his journey and no longer cared about them, they were so angry that they planned to make a good report on Li Xiu after they went back.
So, it took them another three days to return to the camp.
The Eighth Princes, who were waiting for news from the reconnaissance team in the camp, were actually surprised and sent Li Xiu and others out. They had already prepared to get news of the death.
Unexpectedly, all these people came back safely and no one died.
Even Marquis Wu, who proposed this action and planned to kill Li Xiu, frowned and began to ask about the people who bribed him.
A little while.
Wu Hou exclaimed: "What? Are you crazy? Do you dare to agree to such conditions?"
"what happened?"
The other seven princes frowned, wondering what the fuss was about. They didn't have the majesty of Wu Hou at all.
Seeing that the others were dissatisfied with him, Marquis Wu sneered, thinking that you wouldn't get any better if you stayed here for a while, and said: "Ask yourselves!"
The seven people didn't say much, and each asked about their returning team.
It doesn't matter if you don't ask, everyone was shocked by this question.
"Ten million purple coins? Three hundred kilograms of liquid medicine?"
"Go crazy!"
"The lion opened his mouth? Who agreed?"
"he!"
Everyone pointed at Li Xiu.
Li Xiu was not panicked at all: "When I came out, I asked, as long as I can get the right of way, I can agree to any conditions. Is that what you said?"
Only then did the Eighth Princes remember.
When Li Xiu set out, he asked what conditions he could give.
In the end, Wu Hou said: "Conditions? It's up to you, as long as the Green Bull King can agree." But the problem is, this is a situation where everyone thinks they will die, and they don't think they will succeed.
So it doesn't matter whether the conditions are conditions or not. Who knew these guys would succeed? This is outrageous.
"But...but you want too much." Wu Hou gritted his teeth, itching with hatred, but he didn't know how to defend himself.
All the soldiers were looking at him. Are they going to go back on their word?
The seven princes also lowered their heads and said nothing. Anyway, it was you, Wu Hou, who agreed.
Just let him pack it.
Marquis Wu also saw what others were thinking and cursed these people in his heart for being despicable and shameless.
But he could only eat Coptis chinensis without being able to speak, and he felt so uncomfortable that he felt as if he would be dizzy after a mouthful of blood.
It lasted for more than ten seconds before he finally let out a cold snort, turned around and walked away.
Before leaving, he did not forget to give Li Xiu a hard look.
Seeing this scene, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that this matter is over.
But still no one dared to come forward and contact Li Xiu.
This time, Li Xiu has tricked Marquis Wu into a trap. Marquis Wu will definitely not let Li Xiu go.
They didn't want to bring disaster to Chi Yu. On the contrary, Nan Hou, who was not dealing with Wu Hou, burst out laughing when he saw this scene: "It's great! I haven't seen Meng Honglang's expression for a long time. You did a good job!"
Nanhou came to Li Xiu and patted Li Xiu on the shoulder.
I am very satisfied with what Li Xiu has done.
What's more, Li Xiu is still one of Nanhou's own: "Don't worry, if Wuhou wants to take action against you, I won't stand idly by. You are mine. If someone finds out, I can't even protect my subordinates. How will others see me?"
?Who dares to serve me?"
"From now on, you will be the captain. When you go back, I will choose a city for you and let you manage it!"
Li Xiu nodded quickly and agreed.
Becoming a captain means that he has access to more things.
For example, the secret of the elemental heart.
…
That night!
Li Xiu was sitting in the tent when a man came outside.
"Hello Nanhou!"
"I've met Nan Hou!"
The tent was opened, and Nan Hou walked in. He was tall and thin, wearing lavender clothes, but he himself was a ninth-level extraordinary being, and it was said that he had just broken through last month.
"Li Xiu, let me see your information. Are you an eighth-level extraordinary person?" Nanhou looked at Li Xiu curiously. He was an eighth-level extraordinary person and his strength was not low. Under the Eighth Prince, it would be easy to get into a high-level position.
Why did you come to him out of nowhere?
However, he had also investigated and found that Li Xiu had angered Marquis Wu because he refused Wu Hou's invitation and became his subordinate, and his favorable impression of Li Xiu immediately increased a lot.
But the strange thing is...
He couldn't sense Li Xiu's level unless...
Li Xiu is stronger than him, or...
He has practiced the art of concealment.
"Extraordinary eighth level! I am considered a master in Wangchuan, but entering the red tide is nothing. Even my ninth level strength is difficult to move forward in the red tide."
"By the way, Li Xiu, do you know why we have to organize people to hunt in the red tide once every month?"
Nanhou suddenly asked.
Li Xiu's eyes flickered, shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
"Haha! In fact, it's not a secret anymore. It's just that on weekdays, no external news is allowed. Heart of the Elements, do you know?"
"Heart of Elements? Isn't that taboo...it's not allowed to talk about it."
"Indeed, but that just doesn't allow the people below to talk about it. At the level of the captain, it doesn't really matter. It's all recognized. Our commander... has entered the tenth level of the extraordinary for more than half a year. Back then, the red tide had just
When he appeared, the commander got a lot of benefits from the red tide!"
"The strength is even more impressive, leaving everyone behind!"
"Tenth level of extraordinary!"
"That was the strongest fighting force at that time. Otherwise, why do you think the Federation didn't send people to take over this place again? Aren't they afraid of the commander's strength?"
"So...the Heart of Elements is to allow your commander to break through the tenth level and step into the unknown?"
"That's right! We have already collected two elemental hearts, and they are all in the hands of the commander. We only need the last one...the commander can successfully step into the unknown..."
"When the time comes, the commander will lead us to fight out of the red tide!"
Now, due to the revival of spiritual energy, it is no longer within the control of the Federation.
When the time comes, there will be plenty of opportunities for us to flex our muscles.
"And we are all heroes, and our future is limitless, do you understand?"
"understood."
Li Xiu nodded, but he didn't take Nan Hou's words to heart, but only remembered the previous sentence.
The two elemental hearts are all in the hands of the military commander?
This is important news. Is the tenth level of extraordinary extraordinary awesome?
He is also at level ten.
However, for safety reasons, he did not intend to act alone.
"Thank you Nan Hou for informing me. I will definitely work hard under your hands from now on, through fire and water!"
"Haha, do your best! There are many benefits for you."
After drawing a big cake for Li Xiu, Nan Hou left.
Li Xiu was not idle either, and entered the red tide again alone.
This time, he came directly to a mountain and condensed a pair of silver-white wings from behind... In fact, he had wanted to try it for a long time. With his ability of liquid metal, could he fly by condensing wings?
After a while, as he flapped his wings, his body lifted off the ground little by little. It was a little unstable at first, and slowly...
After he got familiar with it, his speed skyrocketed!
In just two hours, we arrived at the valley where the four beast kings were.
