The only thing that can be redeemed is that all Zhang Long speaks is Chinese.
Captain, they probably don't understand.
"That's one of my companions, he's injured.
The reason why I don't let you know about his existence is that I'm afraid of you hurting this creature next to him."
Obviously, Simmons and Nicholas were also watching the video played on the tablet, but their attention was quickly attracted by the deer. After all, the deer really looked like an elf in Western mythology.
"Are you thinking too much? How could we hurt your friend and such a beautiful creature? I think this creature is really a great creation of nature, it is so beautiful.
I feel like it's completely deserted on such a deserted island.
It’s simply a waste of the wonder of the Creator.”
As expected, Zhang Long heard from the captain that he wanted to capture the deer and sell it to the outside world for a big price.
Or maybe he doesn't sell it at all and operates it himself. After all, it's a cash cow.
In the eyes of these mercenaries, interests come first. After all, they are the ones fighting for money.
Zhang Long couldn't help but panic a little when he heard what the captain said.
He also knew that there was no way he could stop these mercenaries.
What are their methods like?
Zhang Long knew very well that although he had a very sharp ancient sword, he could not be a match for the mercenaries with modern firearms.
So Zhang Long was also thinking urgently about how to dispel the captain's idea.
"Actually, your idea is correct.
It is true that the sudden appearance of a creature like her that has never been seen before will be a explosive topic and attract the attention of the world. It is much richer than that rich person.
A rich person may be able to give you a lot of money, but that elf-like creature is just a living cash cow. But I don’t know if you have ever thought about it. There is a saying in China that every man is innocent.
It is a crime to possess a jade.
This means that although you yourself are not guilty, if you have too much money or too many valuable things, and you do not have the ability to protect those things, and you attract the covetousness of many people, then
There's no way you can keep those things.
So when you are faced with plunder and robbery, you probably won’t be able to protect that elf-like creature. Not only will it not bring you happiness, but it will be a disaster.”
After listening to what Zhang Long said, a mocking look appeared on the captain's face.
"Listen, we need a lot of money now. We can sell her at a low price, as long as it meets our psychological price or even lower. If its value is 100 billion US dollars, then maybe 100 million US dollars.
We can sell her, then we will be safe.
You must know that poor people are not qualified to take a long-term view."
Zhang Long also feels that what the captain said is absolutely right. We are already too poor to take the blame. We will starve to death on the streets tomorrow. How can we have so many plans?
However, Zhang Long felt that the captain was willing to reason with him, which meant that there was still room for recovery.
Suddenly, Zhang Long also had an idea.
"It turns out that although this place is just a small island, at least there is a civilization here and a small kingdom here.
As any kingdom, it will never be without wealth.
And those fish-headed people, obviously they have a concept of fish being something precious.
It is different from us, so the wealth of that kingdom has not been taken away or destroyed by the fish-headed people."
After listening to Zhang Long's words, the expression on the captain's face also changed slightly.
"You mean there is a huge treasure here."
"I don't know if it's huge or not. There must be a treasure there, and if you want to cash in this kind of thing, it will be much easier, and it won't be very eye-catching. It fully meets the requirements of making a fortune silently.
If you let many people know that you are rich,
Maybe there are many people who are down and out, like you now, and don't think about future plans, trying to take advantage of you.
But you are very low-key, and no one else knows you are rich.
Then the number of people who have ideas about you will be greatly reduced."
The captain put down the tablet in his hand, thought for a while, and said to Zhang Long: "If you put it like that, I think we are quite interested, but where are the treasures of the former kingdom?
Do you have any clues?
If there are no clues, it’s not like finding a needle in a haystack, it’s simply more difficult than finding the rich man.”
"Of course I have!"
As he spoke, Zhang Long took out his long sword.
"That's it?"
Seeing the captain and Simmons, they had mocking smiles on their faces.
Zhang Long was also angry. He stood up with his long sword and casually chopped down a nearby tree.
Although the tree is not very thick, it is not thin either. The pig is as thick as a human arm.
But after Zhang Long slashed with his sword, he didn't hear much movement, and the tree was broken in response to the sword.
This was unexpected by the captain and others.
"It looks dark, like a piece of iron.
It seems that it has not been tempered, and I didn't expect it to be so sharp."
Zhang Long saw the captain's eyes and knew what he was thinking, so he turned the hilt of the sword upside down and handed it to the captain.
The captain borrowed the sword to take a look, and sure enough, the sword's body was completely black, and there was no edge at all on the blade.
Judging from the appearance, it is really unbelievable that he can actually chop down a tree as thick as an arm, and it is exactly like cutting tofu with a knife, without making any sound.
The captain went over with his sword and slashed at the broken tree again.
Sure enough, it was still broken.
No effort required.
"Awesome! But what does this mean?"
"I got this sword by chance, which also means that there is a treasure hidden somewhere in this cave."
Zhang Long also told the captain exactly how he was swallowed by the big earthworm and then discovered the sword.
"I know that the place where I was swallowed by the big earthworm fully proves that the treasure should be not far from the place where I was swallowed by the big earthworm."
Originally, Zhang Long had not thought about this place at all, but in order to make the captain and others give up the idea of harming the troops and their camp, Zhang Long also made up an excuse casually. Unexpectedly, he became more and more fluent in it.
