Sun Lingji shook his head helplessly. This Jueming Cliff is constantly foggy and poisonous insects are rampant. Being in it is a challenge. Although there may be a secret to the reappearance of the Tyrant Ape Clan, there is no way to go up the mountain, and there are pursuers at the foot of the mountain.
Continuously, coupled with the fact that he was infected by the aura of the other world and had to suppress it with realm energy, resulting in a sharp decline in strength. Even if he really discovered the secret of the Tyrant Ape Clan, he would still be powerless. Therefore, for Sun Lingji, the biggest trouble now is
Or an alien atmosphere?
"The mountainside is so dangerous now, and I don't know what kind of danger it will be on the top of the mountain. And how Mao Qi and Yu'er are doing now. Alas, this plan still can't keep up with the changes." Looking at the endless fog in front of me.
, Sun Lingji sighed softly and thought to himself.
Using the realm energy to travel day and night, Mao Qi also felt exhausted, but when he thought of Sun Ling's extremely dangerous situation, Mao Qi could not stop, and finally arrived at the Jueming Cliff area in the afternoon of the second day.
From a distance, Jueming Cliff is like a long sword stuck in the earth. The towering mountain top is surrounded by clouds and mist, and the foot of the mountain, which was originally covered with thorns, is covered with densely packed camps.
"With so many tents, if a fire is set, they can burn for at least seven days and seven nights." Mao Qixin suddenly thought.
"Hey! Is this friend here to cut down trees too?" A middle-aged man with a beard asked after observing Mao Qi for a long time.
"Cut down a tree?" Mao Qi was interrupted and asked doubtfully.
The middle-aged man was also confused by Mao Qi's rhetorical question, and thought to himself: "This kid has been leaning against the tree, and has been stunned for so long. Isn't it just to chop down the tree? I'll test it again, if it's really not to chop down the tree.
, then this tree in front of me is mine." As he thought about it, a faint smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face.
"Young man, are you just here?" the middle-aged man continued to ask.
Seeing how enthusiastic this man was, Mao Qi smiled and nodded.
"Is it also for the treasure of Jueming Cliff?" the middle-aged man continued to ask.
"I'm just here to open my eyes." Mao Qi became a little alert and replied vaguely.
"Young man, let me tell you the truth. The tree you are leaning on is worth at least 10,000 spiritual crystals. How about you and I cooperate and each of us gets half of it?" The middle-aged man rambled on, feeling that the more he talked, the more he said.
The further away, the other party seemed to be impatient and simply said straight to the point.
"Can this tree be sold for ten thousand?" Mao Qi became curious and thought he could get some useful information from his mouth, so he asked.
Seeing that there was something exciting about taking down this tree, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he became even more enthusiastic.
"Little friends, I don't know. Not long ago, a Taoshan coalition army came to Jueming Cliff. It was said that they discovered the treasure of the Tyrant Ape Clan. But before they could gain a foothold, the coalition forces of the three major tribes followed closely, and the two sides fought a battle.
, the Taoshan Allied Forces withdrew into Jueming Cliff and destroyed the only bridge on the Yushe River. In order to cross the river, the three major tribes allied forces paid high prices to buy wood. Just yesterday, the three tribes allied forces even increased the price ten times.
It is said that the longer the trees, the higher the price." The middle-aged man was talking with flying colors.
"Just for 10,000 spirit crystals, you are willing to sacrifice your life for the alliance of the three major tribes?" The middle-aged man's words made Mao Qi very annoyed. Mao Qi looked down on this kind of people who could ignore everything for money from the bottom of his heart.
"Hey! I'm living in troubled times, and I have no strength. It's not easy to survive. How can I have extra thoughts to think about it? It doesn't matter who I work for. It's hard to make a living!" The middle-aged man sighed.
road.
"Okay, I won't participate in this tree. You can take it all." The middle-aged man sighed helplessly, leaving Mao Qi speechless. An ordinary citizen's greatest hope is to be able to support his family. What's more, from now on
From what he said just now, Mao Qi knew that the Taoshan coalition forces were still safe for the time being, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you sure you don't want it?" the middle-aged man said, not believing his own ears. The value of this tree is at least two years of his family's income.
"No more." Mao Qi replied easily.
After receiving Mao Qi's confirmation, the middle-aged man's face showed excitement. He opened his arms and tried to hug the tree. Then he looked up at the crown of the tree. He murmured to himself: "It's better now. Damn it!"
Finally there is help.”
After the middle-aged man thanked Mao Qi for a while, he picked up the ax and started chopping down the tree.
Seeing the middle-aged man's hopeful look, Mao Qi was also happy. He simply sat down and chatted with him about his daily life while adjusting his breath.
"Uncle, is your family sick?" Mao Qi heard the middle-aged man muttering to himself and asked with sympathy in his heart.
"I was attacked by a monster a few days ago and suffered some injuries. As long as I have this money, I can be saved." The middle-aged man said with a smile to Mao Qi.
"Uncle, I think this tree is quite suitable for being a beam. I'm planning to build a house. Sell it to me for 15,000 spiritual crystals. Come back and help me chop it down in a few days." The middle-aged man said.
The smile moved Mao Qi a little more, because this smile was like his father's smile. He didn't know how many times it had appeared in his dreams. Every time it appeared, he would feel particularly warm.
Mao Qi's words made the middle-aged man feel like something was falling out of the sky, and he was so excited that he didn't know how to answer.
"I can also help treat your family's injuries." Mao Qi added when he saw the middle-aged man's expression of disbelief.
"That's great." The middle-aged man came to his senses and said quickly, fearing that Mao Qi would regret it.
"Sir, you are such a kind-hearted person. To tell you the truth, I am also worried about whether the three major tribes' coalition will fulfill their promise." After carving a mark on the tree, the middle-aged man opened up a chatterbox and started talking more.
The simple middle-aged man had no defense against Mao Qi. This made Mao Qi feel even more compassionate.
"Then you still cut down trees for them." Mao Qi asked.
"Isn't there nothing we can do? If we don't have this money, we can't afford a doctor, and we can only watch my wife suffer. You saved my family, and I don't know how to repay you." The middle-aged man said.
"You're welcome, I'm not an adult. I heard that there is a treasure in Jueming Cliff. I originally planned to share the leftovers here, but looking at the posture, I didn't have a chance." Mao Qi said in a deceptive way.
"Sir, please listen to me. This Jueming Cliff treasure is pure nonsense. My family has lived in this ghost place for generations, and I can always see people hunting for treasure. In the end, no one can come back." The middle-aged man reminded sincerely.
road.
"Haha, I'm just talking casually. There are a lot of plants here, so they shouldn't be barren." Mao Qi smiled and looked around.
"Your Excellency, you don't know. Except for the thorns that grow well here, nothing can be grown here. Moreover, the monsters here are very ferocious. Our village is often attacked." The middle-aged man regarded Mao Qi as a good person, so he asked Mao Qi's question.
Tell everything you know.
"Why don't you move out of here?" Mao Qi suggested.
"It's not just to avoid cannibal tax collectors. Although this place is barren, we can still support ourselves. If we really want to go out, the taxes alone will make it impossible for people to live." The middle-aged man said helplessly.
Along the way, Mao Qi asked the middle-aged man a lot of questions without leaving any trace, and finally found out the purpose of the three major tribes' coalition forces to collect trees. Since the three major tribes' coalition forces had not launched a general attack, Mao Qi planned to adjust in the village overnight and think about it tomorrow.
There is a way to find the Taoshan Allied Forces. As for the Jade Snake River, it is not an obstacle to Mao Qi.
Following the middle-aged man, they walked here and there for a long time before arriving at what they called a village. There were a bunch of stone houses densely arranged here, surrounded by several circles of sharpened wood. The dilapidated and narrow roads separated the stone houses from each other.
The houses are separated, and a thick layer of mud is smeared on the stones to block the sunlight, making the house dark. From a distance, it looks like a cave.
"Sir! This is ridiculous." Looking at the simple village, the middle-aged man said sheepishly. "Sir, wait a moment, Murasame, help your mother out quickly. We are saved."
"Got it." A clear voice came from the dark room. After a while, two figures staggered out.
"Not long ago, a monster attacked our village. With everyone's concerted efforts, although the monster was driven away, my wife was scratched." The middle-aged man explained beside him.
"This monster is so abominable." Mao Qi said sympathetically. But as soon as he finished speaking, Mao Qi's expression solidified. His Dantian was quietly moving, and his realm energy was roaring. He stared at the mother and daughter who were supporting each other not far away.
, asked in a cold tone: "Who are you?"
"Sir, we, we..." The middle-aged man looked at Mao Qi's suddenly gloomy face and a pair of malicious eyes, and suddenly became panicked and didn't know how to answer.
"How did you drive away the monsters? It's best to tell the truth." Mao Qi said in a still cold tone. Although he did not feel the middle-aged man's realm fluctuation, Mao Qi had already spread his spiritual consciousness.
"Sir, I used the sword I made to drive away the monsters. I didn't lie." The middle-aged man said in panic.
On the other hand, mother and daughter, from the time they saw Mao Qi until now, the expressions on their faces have not been flustered.
"Who are you? Why are you contaminated with the aura of another world?" Mao Qi stared at the injured woman and asked in a bad tone.
"Who are you? My mother has been injured like this, and you are still so cruel." Seeing Mao Qi's cold eyes, Murasame was not afraid, but felt a good feeling in her heart. Because what she saw was Mao Qi's kind appearance.
, and the righteousness that is hard to conceal in his eyes, he doesn’t look like a bad person at all.
Mao Qi's cold shout suddenly made the originally quiet village lively. The villagers came out of the dark rooms one after another, alert.
He looked at Mao Qi, holding a strange weapon in his hand.
The mother and daughter walked until they were in front of Mao Qi and stopped. Mao Qi was a little surprised by their calmness, but he was not afraid.
On the contrary, the middle-aged man became uneasy and looked at Mao Qi with vigilance. Because he found that Mao Qi was always staring at his daughter.
"How do you know the breath of another world?" The injured woman sat on a stone and asked calmly.
But the middle-aged man had already stood beside the mother and daughter, looking deceived. He regretted not getting the spiritual crystal first. He held it in for a long time before saying: "I thought you were a good person, get out!"
"If you can tell me the truth, I think I can cure your injury." Although he knew that the woman in front of him was not simple, he could judge that she had nothing to do with the aura of the other world, and she was not a member of the Tyrant Ape Clan. So Mao Qi felt that
, since we are not enemies, there is no need to become enemies for so long.
"Brother Dan, who is he?" The injured woman ignored Mao Qi and asked the middle-aged man softly.
"I, I don't know either. He said he wanted to build a house with wood and asked me to help him cut the wood. The price he offered was higher than that of the coalition forces. He also said he could help you heal your wounds. I didn't expect that he would fall out as soon as he came." Qu Dan.
He said angrily. But he couldn't figure out why Mao Qi turned against him. From the beginning to the end, he had never provoked him.
"Hmph! Treat my injury, you're not being polite. We won't believe a villain who doesn't mean what he says, get out!" The injured woman looked at Mao Qi coldly, and directly rejected Mao Qi's kindness.
"Hu Di, let him try." Qu Dan thought that Mao Qi could cure diseases, and said with some expectation in his heart.
In fact, Hu Di is also guessing about Mao Qi's identity and the purpose of coming here. He can tell at a glance that he has been infected by the aura of another world, and he dares to say that he can be cured. He should be considered a master. But according to his own understanding, so far,
No one can understand the aura of another world, let alone a young man in his early twenties.
He sent spiritual crystals and healed his wounds for no reason, but he was doing it with good intentions. After thinking about it, Woody turned his head and glanced at Murasame. Although Murasame was a bit shabbily dressed, his facial features were exquisite and his figure was slim and well-proportioned. He was considered to be a first-class person.
Beauty; I looked at Mao Qi again, with a medium build, not outstanding appearance but quite attractive. The most attractive thing is the temperament and confidence exuding from her whole body.
"My conditions are not too high. I can give in one more step and ask all of you injured people to come out for free." Mao Qi said with a faint smile.
The reason for Mao Qi's sudden change was that he had just made a secret investigation and found that there were less than ten people with state fluctuations here, and three of them were injured. These people were no threat to him at all. Mao Qi simply chose to do a good deed and help
People will help him to the end. As for what he wants to know, after he heals and the other party feels sincere, he will definitely tell him on his own initiative.
Seeing that everyone still didn't believe it, Mao Qi threw fifteen thousand spiritual crystals at Qu Dan.
"Go away, we don't believe you." Faced with Mao Qi's constant overtures, Woody became more suspicious of his bad motives, so he still insisted. However, his tone of voice had softened a lot.
"I can really cure you, I just want to help you. What's more, just the nine of you have no chance to defeat me." Mao Qi looked at Hu Di and said again.
As for why Mao Qi must have a warm face but a cold butt, it's because Mao Qi feels that they must know the secret of Jueming Cliff.
"Young man, please don't be ridiculous. We have more than 9 people here." Qu Dan took the spiritual crystal thrown by Mao Qi, trusting Mao Qi again in his heart, and said with a smile on his face. Because Qu Dan felt that in front of him
