Chapter 180 Mirage
Yi Shuihan looked at the energy crystal in his hand. This thing was of good quality. Unexpectedly, the devil star actually had a nice name "Tianjing."
"Are you sure you want to use this Tianjing as my employment reward?" Sasha didn't dare to believe it completely, and her eyes swept around her in a hurry, for fear that others would steal her business.
"Yes, I hope to know some information about this star, especially the situation around here. You should be very familiar with this place, right?"
Sasha said excitedly: "Yes, I am a native and transformer here. It's wiser to find me." After a pause, she said shyly and very serious: "Can you pay me a fifteen percent commission first? This is the routine of bodyguards in the city of Juyue. If you think too much, you can pay three percent less. Sasha will protect your safety with her life."
The little girl said something serious. Yi Shuihan was stunned and then burst into laughter. He said while laughing: "Shasha, this crystal is yours. Don't act so well and feel as if you are homeless?"
Unexpectedly, Sasha looked sadly at the solar collecting panel under emergency repair in the distance and said, "Most of the residents of this city are renovated people. They can survive in such a harsh environment. In fact, we all paid a heavy price. A fatal crisis lurked in the sand. Half a month ago, my uncle died in the battle with the Mirage Beast. He is my pride. The renovated people here are often hired by merchants in craters to venture in the sand. We are both bodyguards and hunters. As long as we pay, Sasha will definitely work hard for you."
Yi Shuihan restrained his smile, patted Shasha's shoulder kindly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for your uncle's death in battle. Now I also tell you solemnly that this crystal belongs to you. But you have to take good care of me, little bodyguard."
With a gentle smile, Yi Shuihan walked towards the city gate, threw up the crystal stone in his hand, and fell cleverly into Sasha's hand in an arc.
Sasha was slightly stunned and looked at the crystal in her hand in surprise. The crystal was something that all the devil star residents needed very much, especially their transformation of people. In the past, unless they were big actions, the employer used this thing as a reward, but usually used the unique scales of the mirage beast as currency. The mirage beast is also called a treasure beast on this desert planet. In addition to the scales being used as currency, there are many treasures in the body that are worth using, especially the beast's brain is a hundred times more precious crystal core than the top-quality galaxy crystal. It is really something that all transformers dream of.
The streets of Chouyue City are simple and bare. Occasionally, you can see some broken bottles and jars in front of the twisted rock house. Perhaps it is used by people here to collect rainwater.
Sasha jumped and followed Yi Shuihan, shouting happily: "This crystal is really great, it can match Sasha's hard work to absorb solar energy for half a year. Dear employer, welcome you to our Cunyue City. I only collected 12% of this Tianjing, and I will give you the rest."
The crystal was really divided by twelve percent. Yi Shuihan noticed that Sasha's hair had only gently stroked it and had already divided the crystal.
"Your hair is very strange." Yi Shuihan praised. It seems that this hair is not a wig.
Sasha said happily: "My hair is actually a weapon, but the more important thing is that they can absorb solar energy and enhance the energy of the body's cell. The conversion of solar energy into cell energy through some special methods. Even Sasha can't figure out the principle. However, with this 12% of the crystal, it is stronger than sitting in meditation to absorb solar energy for a month."
After saying that, Sasha wanted to return the remaining crystals to Yi Shuihan, but was stopped.
"Haha, little girl, it's very dangerous to be with me. You should keep the crystals in place. You will take care of all the expenses here. When I think we can terminate our employment relationship, I will give you a crystal of the same volume to repay you."
"Oh my God?" Sasha was shocked and pouted and explained honestly: "Actually, Sasha has taken a big advantage. Usually, just 12% of this crystal can hire us, a very excellent transformer for a month. According to the two pieces of heavenly crystals you promised to land, the lowest is. I mean the lowest! You can hire me for a year and a half!"
Yi Shuihan didn't want to continue arguing about this issue. Xiaoxiao said it didn't matter, so he asked again: "Why don't the people in this city settle in the crater?"
Sasha touched her hair and said, "We are transforming people! The crater is where rich aliens and wealthy businessmen live. Besides, there is not safe, sometimes even more terrifying than the sea of sand. To be honest, this devil star is not safe yet. The transformed people were not allowed to live with human society. Our ancestors fled here and have reproduced for countless generations. Some powerful transformed people can walk alone in the sea of sand! Sasha will also reach that level in the future, and even collect enough mirage beasts to go to the merchants in the crater to exchange for long-distance ship tickets. I heard that my grandfather's grandfather once took a long-distance spaceship, but he did not return here to pick up his family. The conditions for the devil star are too difficult. I heard that the treatment of transformed people in the outside world has been improved, and some humans have even specially transformed them."
Yi Shuihan asked again: "Is there any special area south of this stone city and crater?"
After thinking for a while, Sasha replied: "At the beginning of the year, there will always be a red light soaring into the sky. I don't know what it is. I heard from the old people that treasure hunters came to this planet a long time ago to find out what it was. Unfortunately, they all went there but never returned. The transformed people don't like to contact that area, because a kind of steel sand fish grows in the area that emits red light. It is very powerful. The hard thorns on the mouth are more than three meters long. Legend has it that the steel sand fish there has a very long life span, and there are even more powerful characters hidden in the depths of the sand sea. The merchants living in the craters racked their brains and couldn't figure out what the red light was. Perhaps it was a supernatural phenomenon of the gathering of steel sand fish. In any case, there are many rumors about the steel sand fish.
"Oh? This is a clue. Can you take me there?"
"Big brother, you are an adventurer from an alien. Maybe your abilities are outstanding, but Sasha advises you not to go. There are many dangerous lands in the sand sea, which are not easy to deal with. According to rumors, the danger coefficients of the places you are going are at the forefront."
Yi Shuihan nodded, said thank you, and walked straight towards the only hotel in the city. If there was still a place in the world where the tomb robbers dared not go, then the others would be even more out of reach.
The hotel's signature is ragged and you can vaguely tell that it is an old neon light. However, it is hit by the wind and sand, and it is shaking and showing some light to show that it is still open.
Sasha was generous in negotiating with the hotel owner, and finally exchanged twenty-five mirage coins for a clean and high-quality room.
At night, the temperature suddenly dropped and the hotel began to become lively. People came and went, and almost the entire small town residents gathered here.
The hotel is also doing bar business. The most famous here is the fairy wine. The raw material for manufacturing is a poisonous cactus produced in the sand 900 miles east of the city. This plant absorbs underground bitter water, cuts off clusters of gray and black thorns and will flow out the poisonous water. After the poisonous water is discharged and stored in the body, it will then go through fermentation and distillation. It finally becomes a wine. Even though the wine is astringent and sweet, it is very favored by the desert. Therefore, the hotel's business is very good at night. It is so good that it often fights for the configuration of a glass of wine.
The resources in the desert are too limited, including this unique cactus of brewing wine, so the hotel has a credibility configuration. Those who have owed money three times naturally have no chance to drink. The economic situation is generally impossible to drink a lot. Only Erics, the best master in the city, has the chance to drink enough. This master usually gives up three cups of quotas and asks everyone to compete for it. The hotel owner does not stop it, but the tables, chairs and benches are hurt. Everything is compensated by Erics, and it is worth a lot.
"Hey, madman Eri, why haven't I seen you for a month recently?" When a burly man entered the hotel, all the drinkers around him started to greet him.
"Haha, of course I, Eri, will always be the craziest person in Chouyue City. I will gain a lot this time." After saying that, I glanced mysteriously around, and finally my eyes fell on the table at the innermost position. I was a little surprised and rushed over with a big stride.
"Crazy. You're back." Sasha seemed to be very familiar with this big man.
"Sha. I'm sorry, I'm late. I just heard that your uncle was half a month ago..." When he said this, Eri tilted his head and said "ah" heavily, not as proud as he was when he came in.
"Which one of us in the city of Guanyue is not to live on our belts. Uncle keeps the weapon and I will ask it to come in handy." Sasha's tone was very firm. Yi Shuihan sat next to her and savored the immortal wine, secretly praising the exquisite girl for being very strong.
The inside of E, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his eyes were very vivid. Yi Shuihan had already discovered that this person's body was full of explosive power, and his muscles were so elastic that he was a little too good, even surpassing most martial monks.
"I still want to comfort you, but I didn't expect the little girl to comfort me in turn." Eri's voice was loud, like a bell, shaking the table so hard that it was trembling.
Sasha smiled and asked in a low voice: "Eri, what kind of spoils have you obtained this month? I remember that there were two times before, and you were so proud to enter the hotel."
"This time I've gained a lot, don't be envious later." Eri turned to Yi Shuihan, who was drinking on his own, and said, to ask who this was.
Sasha muttered a few words in a low voice, Eri looked at the passengers from the sea of sand alone, and their bodies were spotless. As the number one master in the city of Juyue, he was not comparable to a little girl. He suspected that he was a powerful businessman who came out of the crater. The so-called powerful businessman was actually a low-level martial monk.
"Okay, it's time to open your eyes. Everyone comes here to make you jealous of my madman's achievements."
When everyone heard this, everyone gathered together, and Yi Shuihan, the most unattractive table, was favored.
Eri picked up the animal hide cover from his feet. It was a handmade package, covered with grease, which seemed even a little disgusting to Yi Shuihan. However, Eri's eyes shone like a bride, and gently opened it.
"How about it, eleven beast cores, twenty intact mirage beast hearts, and then look at these animal fats, they are all top-notch."
There was a sound of horror around him, and everyone including Sasha took a few breaths of air conditioning, which was really impossible to digest the impact.
"Hehe, the record is good. Boss, each person has a glass of immortal wine today, I'll treat it." Eri looked at everyone proudly, with a proud look in his eyes.
It is said that wealth is not revealed, but the transformation of the city of Juyue all comes from the same ancestors, and their long-term life in the sea of sand has made them very united. Everyone has a kind heart. Besides, Eri has always been crazy and is confident in his own strength, so he is used to being swaying in the city.
Yi Shuihan glanced at it and found that the beast core looked like a date core, dark black and not large in size. Eleven pieces could be easily held in the palm of the palm. The mirage beast's heart was not big, and half a fist, the only thing worthy of praise was blood vessels condensation, as if they were still alive, and they stimulated hope to pulsate again in a specific environment. As for the beast fat, it was not strange, it was just cute in color, yellow in essence, and a bit like a cake.
The people present may be very envious, but they dare not take these things. Yi Shuihan did not take these things seriously, but one thing suddenly took action. People who watched the transformation from outside almost didn't understand what was going on, and they found that all the good things wrapped in Eri were plundered. It was just a flash of light and shadow in the hotel, which was too bizarre.
Eri was stunned and shouted, "Thief, let me go back to you."
Sasha was closest to her. She saw clearly what was going on, but was so surprised that she couldn't stop talking.
Yi Shuihan was angry. He didn't know when the green crystal pestle on his waist was cracking the gap again. The fat man's body recovered a little, and it was the place where he robbed him.
"Woooo, Fatty needs it." A mental ripples that were not real came, and then the guy retracted into the green crystal pestle, and he had no intention of seeing people.
Eri was angry. It was his hard work that almost died outside in a month. It was gone, which was even worse than killing him. In desperation, he grabbed Yi Shuihan's neck and shouted: "Hurry up, give it back to me quickly, otherwise I will throw you into the scattered sand fish."
Yi Shuihan didn't say that he was caught so easily, mainly because he ignored it. The hateful fat man swallowed other people's things without permission. How did this make it happen? Even if the evolution needs it now, he has to slowly make up for it. How can this situation end now?
"Don't be excited, let's sit down and say it slowly. I will compensate you." Yi Shuihan tried to be kind to him.
"Bah, are you paying for it? Where did you hide those things? Spit it out quickly." The inside was ashen, and his big hands almost cut Yi Shuihan's neck. The force was definitely not something that ordinary people could afford, but no one noticed this unusual detail.
"I really can't get those things out anymore, but I can exchange them with items of equal value."
"What? Can't take it out? I just saw a shadow in your clothes swallowing my baby. Don't lie to me." Eri's eyes turned red and he almost lost his mind. He suddenly threw his big hand up and wanted to swing Yi Shuihan.
Sasha finally realized that she was a bodyguard. She really didn't expect that this happened to the employer and the number one master in the city. The creed that had been cultivated for many years worked. She almost rushed forward without much thought, hoping to save the employer. The folding cross knife behind her was launched, causing a storm to go straight to the wind.
As soon as Eri swung Yi Shuihan, he found that Sasha's little sister next to him had attacked. There was a flash of thought in his mind. Then he realized that the employer was her employer who used the rules to transform people. He always had to defend his interests regardless of whether the employer was right or wrong. This knife was unavoidable and could only hope that his muscles were tough enough. However, although Sasha's small size, her strength was obvious to everyone in the city.
The sword energy is too fast, giving people no chance to breathe. Some people are faster, so fast that they cannot be calculated based on reason. It seems to appear out of thin air, breaking into the blade, gently grabbing the blade of death in his hand, like grabbing a toy for a child.
Shocked, Sasha was stunned, Eri was even more confused. Why did the thief who wanted to fly out of the wheel in his hand appear in front of the Death Blade and save his life?
"I'm really sorry, I didn't take away your things on purpose. At worst, you can tell me what the Mirage Beast looks like. I'll help you get the corresponding items back." Yi Shuihan said sincerely, but it's unknown whether the people around him listened to it.
"You? How did you do it?" Eri almost crossed his eyes, staring at the iron hand of Sasha's cross knife.
"It depends on the coordination of strength and speed, and you can actually do it." Yi Shuihan said the truth. However, even if Eri had that physique, it was not a simple matter to simply grasp the weapon. It requires understanding and further training.
"I'm not as good as humans, just say whatever you want." Eri recognized the facts, but became discouraged. With less than a second just now, he had already deeply realized that the young man in front of him was higher than him, or that the two of them were not on the same level at all.
"Big brother, you are so awesome. Sasha can only be a tour guide with you." The transformed girl admires heroes very much. She can save Eri, which itself means that Yi Shuihan has superb strength.
Sasha put his knife behind her back, pushed Eri down and apologized quietly. After all, she was a fellow villager. Although sometimes there were conflicts for the interests of her employer, she was helpless as a bodyguard.
Eri shook his head, saying that Sasha's approach was normal and reasonable, and he didn't mind it.
"Okay, Eri, I'll give you a satisfactory solution, Sasha, do you know where there are mirage beasts nearby?"
"The mirage beast god is ecstasy. If the elder brother wants to hunt them, it is best to go to the south edge of the crater. Some mirage beasts often go to the craters. Those wealthy businessmen have opened hunting grounds, but that belongs to private territory and are absolutely not allowed to step a step. So they can only look for them outside the hunting grounds."
Yi Shuihan took out more than twenty energy crystals, all of which were the best and gave them to Eri and said, "You can take these first, and you will be compensated for you first. When I come back, I will definitely return the items I took."
Although the transformation of people has some abilities, they are very different from martial arts monks. In Yi Shuihan's eyes, there is no difference from ordinary people. Fatty possesses something from Eli, which is called Yi Shuihan very shameless, and it is someone's blood and sweat.
Eri pushed the energy crystal back and said, "I won't accept this thing. As long as you promise me one thing, you don't need to return the things you took."
Chapter completed!
