Bleach Stronger by AFK Chapter 309: Greed
, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Death God who hangs up can become stronger!
The farther Ishizawa goes to the outskirts, the more desolate it becomes, and even the buildings become few and far between. There are deserted fields on both sides of the field path covered with weeds. Further away, there are a few dilapidated houses that look like warehouses.
Looking at the scenery passing by outside the window, Lin Lichuan couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion in his heart. From the situation here, we can see the vicious reputation of the Ring of Sighs. Just the occasional beasts that wander out can make people in nearby cities miserable. , to the point of decline, one can imagine the seriousness of the beasts in the mountains.
No wonder even as powerful as the Blue Sky Dynasty could not open up a road connecting the inside and outside of the Ring of Sighs.
Noting Lin Lichuan's expression in the rearview mirror, the fat man in the driver's seat smiled and said: "This place was not so desolate before. It's just that in recent years, the activities of beasts in the Ring of Sighs have become more and more frequent for some unknown reason. Incidents of hurting people in the fields are increasing year by year, and the troops stationed in Shize are unable to go to the mountains to exterminate the beasts, resulting in the suburbs being basically empty of people, so they are deserted."
"Didn't Shi Ze ask for help from Long Han Federation?" Lin Lichuan looked away from the window and asked casually.
The fat man curled his lips and said: "Of course I begged, but it was useless. The Federation ignored us at all, but that's right. This place in Shize is a bottomless pit. With the Ring of Sighs, it won't develop no matter how much money is invested. , Those officials are very smart, and of course they would not do such a thankless job. To be honest, if I hadn’t had no money, I would have left this ghost place long ago."
"Do you earn little in this line of work?" Lin Lichuan asked.
The fat man's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he glanced at Lin Lichuan through the rearview mirror. The latter's calm face made him a little confused. He didn't know if Lin Lichuan's question meant something, so he was silent for a few seconds. He smiled and replied: "Driving a taxi means you can make ends meet. If you don't starve yourself to death, you don't have to think about getting rich."
After saying this, the fat man fell silent and stopped talking for the rest of the journey.
Half an hour later, the scenery outside the window has turned into a brown wilderness. The ground is full of sand, stone and loess, and not even a single tree can be seen. Looking around, you can vaguely see the endless mountains in the distance. Huge mountain silhouette.
"Two guests, I can only drive as far as here. The probability of encountering wild animals will be much higher if you go further. I can't take risks in a small business. Please be considerate."
The taxi stopped, and the fat man turned back and smiled dryly at Lin Lichuan and Lu Qiu.
"Thank you." Lin Lichuan nodded, "How much is the fare?"
"20 gold yuan." The fat man replied.
Longhan Federation is close to the Qianyuan Business Alliance. Although it also has its own currency, in places like Shize, the Qianyuan Business Alliance’s gold dollars circulate more widely than the Longhan Federation’s own currency.
After paying, Lin Lichuan and Lu Qiu got out of the car and looked up at the outline of the huge mountains in the distance.
That is the famous Ring of Sighs in the mainland.
Even if they are extremely far apart and can only see the outline, they can still make people feel the weight and majesty coming towards them.
"The star disaster ruins discovered by our family are located in the core area of the Ring of Sighs. From here, it is about 800 kilometers away." Lu Qiu said softly.
Lin Lichuan couldn't help but secretly gasp when he heard this. According to this estimate, the width of the Ring of Sighs Mountain Range is probably more than a thousand kilometers, not to mention the length, which can surround the entire central area of the continent. The length is definitely more than a hundred times the width.
Only the power of nature can create such a strange landscape.
Just when Lin Lichuan was sighing secretly, a low and noisy engine roar suddenly sounded, waking him up.
Looking through the sound, an open-top off-road vehicle full of people was approaching rapidly in the distance. It seemed that it was heading towards him and others.
The fat man in the taxi heard the sound and stuck his head out to watch curiously. However, after seeing the appearance of the crowd on the off-road vehicle clearly, his expression changed.
"Shit, this guy Ladd is really crazy. He was told not to have any ideas about these two people, but he didn't listen. He even got involved with the Scorpion guys. He is really crazy about money. Scorpion Is that Scorpion person easy to get along with? No, I have to leave quickly!"
The fat man quickly retracted into the car, started the engine and wanted to leave, but suddenly there was a muffled sound in his ears, and the taxi suddenly skidded, almost causing the fat man's head to come into close contact with the steering wheel. Angrily, he looked out the window and found that the taxi's tire was dented, but it had been shot.
"Damn stinging scorpion!"
He stared with a livid face at a young man in the passenger seat of the off-road vehicle who was slowly withdrawing his pistol.
Hi!
The off-road vehicle made a beautiful drift and stopped near the taxi. Six men jumped out of the car one after another. The leader was a man wearing a black vest with scorpion tattoos on his exposed arms. It looked like A young man in his mid-twenties with a sinister expression.
As soon as his feet landed, he immediately looked at Lin Lichuan and Lu Qiu. When he saw Lu Qiu's face clearly, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but lick his lips.
"It's really a good product!"
The skinny man next to him, Ladd, smiled flatteringly: "Boss Stinging Scorpion, I'm not lying to you, this woman is a rare beauty!"
Scorpion's eyes were fixed on Lu Qiu, and he only hummed in response to Rad's words.
The latter didn't care either. From the corner of his eye, he just caught a glimpse of the fat man who was being pulled out of the car, so he walked up to him and said with a proud smile: "Fat man, I told you to do it, but you didn't do it. , now it’s too late for you to get in the car, but don’t worry, the boss of Scorpion also follows the rules and will let you go when the matter is done.”
The fat man glared at him fiercely, gritted his teeth and said: "Sooner or later you will be killed by your greed!"
Ladd smiled disdainfully, taking the fat man's words as jealousy.
"Did we encounter robbers?" Lu Qiu turned to Lin Lichuan and asked.
Lin Lichuan looked at Scorpion and the others with a half-smile, and replied: "If I guess correctly, these people are not robbers, but a gang specializing in human trafficking."
"You are quite discerning."
Scorpion glanced at Lin Lichuan in surprise, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the cold light inside them flashed away.
"Ladd said that you are probably a transcendent. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that he guessed it. Ordinary people can't be so calm in this situation."
"But it doesn't matter even if you are a transcendent, you will be unlucky if you meet me."
While speaking, a large amount of dark substance gradually exuded from the surface of the skin of the Stinging Scorpion's arms, solidifying in a blink of an eye to form a hard cuticle, and the palms of the hands turned into giant scorpion-like claws with sharp and sharp claw tips. There was an icy blue light shining in the sunlight, which was obviously extremely poisonous.
And a huge scorpion tail also extended from his back.
In the blink of an eye, the Stinging Scorpion turned into a half-human, half-scorpion monster, exuding a heart-stopping cold aura.
Including Fatty and Ladd, everyone around them subconsciously showed expressions of fear and awe upon seeing this.
Only Lin Lichuan and Lu Qiu still looked calm.
"Arthropods with the ability to shape-shift are really rare." Lu Qiu looked at the Scorpion's arms with interest.
Lin Lichuan nodded in agreement. This was also the first time he had seen a person with the ability to transform into a poisonous scorpion. Moreover, the young man named Stinging Scorpion in front of him was also a transcendent at the peak of Silver. In a backward place like Shize, he had already It is extremely rare. He is probably one of the underground forces in this city. It is no wonder that this person is so popular.
As if he sensed something was wrong from the calm expressions of Lin Lichuan and Lu Qiu, Stinging Scorpion stopped talking nonsense, his eyes suddenly turned sharp, and he suddenly jumped out and rushed towards Lin Lichuan, a pair of sharp and sharp poisonous weapons The pincers grabbed the latter's head with the strong smelly wind.
At the same time, the scorpion tail on his back also stood up, and the tip of the tail shining with blue light was faintly pointed at Lin Lichuan, ready to go.
The target of Stinging Scorpion is only that woman. As for Lin Lichuan, he is worthless to him, so he will kill her without hesitation.
In just the blink of an eye, the tip of the pincer struck in front of Lin Lichuan. At the same time, the scorpion's tail on the back of the stinging scorpion suddenly stabbed out like an arrow from the string. The force was so fierce that it even tore the air, stirring up a shrill scream. Howling.
Ladd and others who were watching the battle saw the scene and smiled ferociously, their eyes flashing with excitement and cruelty, as if they had already seen the scene of the unlucky man's head exploding.
The poisonous sting of the Stinging Scorpion is famous in the underground world of Shi Ze. So far, dozens of extraordinary people have died from this blow, including many of them who are also Silver-level extraordinary people.
Seeing Lin Lichuan motionless, as if he was frozen in place, watching the giant pincers and scorpion tail attack him, Scorpion breathed a sigh of relief, secretly laughing at himself for being too sensitive, and the man in front of him was just a fool. .
However, the next second, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and in a flash before his eyes, Lin Lichuan had disappeared, and both the giant claws and the scorpion tail were gone.
"Oops!"
The Stinging Scorpion was stunned for a moment, and his heart skipped a beat.
In shock, he immediately stopped his forward momentum and twisted his body as hard as he could. At the same time, the scorpion tail suddenly fell back and stabbed behind him with all his strength.
I have to say that his reaction was very correct. If the opponent he faced at this time was a transcendent of the same level in the past, this counterattack would be enough to save his life. Unfortunately, it was not the case.
As soon as he made a move, Stinging Scorpion suddenly felt a pain in the back of his heart. His whole body suddenly froze, and he felt that all his strength flowed out of his back like a tide.
"Damn it, Ladd, you **** bastard! You killed me!"
At the last moment, Scorpion only had time to flash such a thought in his mind, and his consciousness was immediately overwhelmed by the darkness that surged in like a tide.
Poof!
The body of the Stinging Scorpion collapsed to the ground limply.
Looking at this scene, the excited expressions of Rad and the others suddenly froze, as if they were being strangled by the throat and unable to make any sound, and their faces all showed expressions of incredible horror.
"How could..."
It took a long while before one of them murmured in horror, but midway through his words, Lin Lichuan, who appeared in front of him at some unknown time, had his neck broken.
Seeing this, the remaining people woke up one after another, screaming and running around, but were chased and killed one by one.
Ladd was the last one to fall to the ground and die. At the last moment when his consciousness disappeared, what came into his field of vision was the figure of a pale fat man leaning on the side of the taxi.
A look of remorse settled on Ladd's face, and then he took his last breath.
Silence returned to the wilderness, except that there were six more corpses on the ground.
Seeing Lin Lichuan's gaze, the fat man was shocked as if he had been stabbed by a poisonous needle. The fat on his body was trembling. His face was pale and he waved his hands repeatedly: "Sir, sir, this is not the case. It’s none of my business, I’m not, not their accomplice!”
However, Lin Lichuan didn't even look at him. He turned back to Lu Qiu and said softly: "Let's go."
Lu Qiu smiled slightly and said softly: "Okay."
After saying that, the two bodies floated out of thin air at the same time and rushed into the sky. After a slight pause, they flew towards the Ring of Sighs at high speed.
The fat man stared at the two people leaving with his mouth wide open~IndoMTL.com~ his expression was dull.
"K-Knight!? These two people are actually knights? Oh my god... The scorpion really hit the iron plate this time, and died unjustly, not unjustly!" ”
After muttering nonsense for a long time, the fat man came back to his senses. When he saw the body on the ground, he shuddered violently. He didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly rushed to the open-top off-road vehicle not far away, started the engine and left. This **** place.
"Sure enough, greed kills people. If it weren't for greed, Ladd would have died in the wilderness. You still have to keep your eyes open in the future, and you must not offend the strong dragon crossing the river!"
The fat man was secretly glad that he had not agreed to Ladd's proposal before, otherwise the body lying there now would have been his share.
Bang!
While I was rejoicing, the off-road vehicle suddenly shook violently, flew backwards, and hit the ground with a bang seven or eight meters away.
The fat man was knocked to the ground and his head was bleeding. In his daze, he suddenly felt his head tightening, and someone had already grabbed his head and pulled it out from under the car.
