Chapter 24 Am I a Cannon Fodder?
After a cup of tea, Chang Bao came in with a middle-aged male monk.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, this is the seller, Brother Jiang Chao!"
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, please sit down!"
Jiang Chao looked quite anxious, and asked anxiously before he sat down: "How many spiritual stones will you give?"
Wang Hao and Wang Yanfeng looked at each other, and Wang Yanfeng stretched out five fingers and said: "If the spiritual medicine is fine, we will give this number!"
"Five hundred spiritual stones, too low, I want eight hundred! This is the main medicine of the foundation-building pill!" Jiang Chao said excitedly: "If it is too low, I won't sell it!"
"But it is only eighty years old, at most six hundred spiritual stones!"
Chang Bao on the side said: "Fellow Daoist Wang, Fellow Daoist Jiang is not easy, add a little more!"
Wang Yanfeng groaned, "Okay, seven hundred spiritual stones, no more!"
Chang Bao said to Jiang Chao: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, seven hundred spiritual stones are not a small amount, even if you go to other houses, it won't be higher!"
Jiang Chao thought for a moment, and then agreed, "The day after tomorrow morning, I will wait for you at the entrance of the market!" After that, he said goodbye to Chang Bao and left.
Wang Yanfeng told them that this transaction method requires confirmation of the goods before paying, so Jiang Chao needs to take them there, otherwise a casual cultivator can make up a story to cheat hundreds of spirit stones, and it will be a mess!
"I'm here, so we'll go together this time. You'll be on your own in the store in the future, so be careful!"
"Well, Uncle Ba, don't worry, I'm very lucky," Wang Hao thought to himself. He would not take risks except for Ningyuan Fruit!
The matter was settled, and the two began to prepare separately. If they went deep into Duanyuan Mountain, they had to prepare a large number of talismans and healing and detoxification pills, such as Huiling Pill, Qingling Pill, and Chixue Pill. It's best if they don't need them. If they don't have them or the quantity is insufficient, they will die!
There are pills in the pill shop. Just take them and keep a record. If you don't need them, you can return them. The talismans need to be purchased outside.
With the identity of the store manager, Wang Hao no longer had to be timid in doing things. He directly sold a batch of spiritual medicines to Qingyuan Pavilion and bought 100 talismans. In addition to the top-grade magic tools and second-level low-grade spiritual talismans won in the fight, he was mentally confident!
Two days later, Jiang Chao arrived as promised, and the three of them went straight to the Duanyuan Mountains without any nonsense.
Duanyuan Mountain stretches across a million miles, blocking the communication between the South China Sea cultivation world and the Xuanyuan Continent, hence the name.
Qingniufang City is only a small part of its southern foothills. It is said that there are fourth-level monsters, but they only move around the edge, and second-level monsters are not often encountered.
After a while, the three disappeared in the dense jungle.
Jiang Chao and Wang Yanfeng were cautious, but Wang Hao was not worried at all. He had already opened the evil map, and there was no boss's skull logo nearby.
However, as the three of them went deeper, the situation began to change. The plants became more and more dense, and there were more animals. Although they were just some ordinary monsters of low quality, Wang Hao's map did not show them, but with so many of them, it was inevitable that the three of them would make a fuss when dealing with them, which would attract more monsters.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, how far is it?" Wang Yanfeng asked after killing a group of wolves.
"It will take at least a day and a half to travel!" Although the Qigong cultivators could not fly, their travel speed reached hundreds of miles a day. In a day and a half, they would have to go a thousand miles deeper.
"If they go a thousand miles deeper, there will probably be a second-level monster!" Wang Yanfeng said worriedly.
"Hehe, fellow Daoist Wang, aren't you talking nonsense? If there were no such risk, the borage would have been discovered long ago. How could it be our turn?" Jiang Chao said to himself: "Don't worry, I have been here twice and have never encountered a second-level monster!"
Wang Hao was skeptical. His map showed a green skull in front, and the first-level monster was a small white skull, which meant that there was at least a second-level monster there.
"I don't know if Jiang Chao is lucky or if the monster just happened to move here!" Wang Hao thought to himself.
Fortunately, Jiang Chao did not go straight, but took the two of them on a detour, and when they passed a big river, they walked along the river again!
"My two Taoist friends, there are many monsters in this river, so be careful and try to restrain your breath!" He jumped directly into the river.
Wang Hao and Wang Yanfeng looked at each other and followed into the water. The three of them swam along the river bank. After a while, Jiang Chao got out of the water and used the earth escape technique to hurry on.
Wang Hao finally understood that Jiang Chao was a capable person. By entering and exiting the water, he successfully bypassed two small monster groups.
The scattered cultivators struggling to survive should not be underestimated!
Even if Wang Hao had a real-time map in his mind and asked him to lead the team, he could not choose a better route.
However, the deeper you go, the more monsters there are, and these monsters are active, and sometimes you have to fight a big battle when you meet them.
The three of them tried their best to avoid getting entangled. When they reached the destination, they were exhausted physically and mentally, and there was not much mana left. Jiang Chao pointed to a green half-man-high plant behind a boulder: "This is Borage. The two of you have found the way. Can you give me the spirit stones?"
Wang Yanfeng signaled Wang Hao to go and check the situation. Wang Hao put on a protective shield and pinched a dozen talismans in his hand. Generally, there are monsters guarding the spiritual objects in the world. There is no monster near this Borage, but Wang Hao still added an insurance for himself.
Easy to touch, the farm icon lights up, Wang Hao smiled with relief: "Uncle Eight, everything is normal!"
After Wang Yanfeng got the response, he took out 700 spirit stones, "Friend Jiang, happy cooperation, I hope you can contact us if you have any news about spiritual medicine in the future!"
Jiang Chao took the spirit stones and smiled: "As long as the price given by the Wang family is fair, the matter of spiritual medicine is easy to talk about!"
"Please wait for a moment, fellow Taoist," Wang Yanfeng said as he took out the tools and prepared to transplant borage!
Jiang Chao kept smiling behind Wang Yanfeng.
"Something is wrong, is it so smooth?" Wang Hao suddenly woke up after getting the borage seeds, his heart pounding.
"Come and help, we can leave this damn place after transplanting!" At this time, Wang Yanzhao had already picked up the spiritual shovel and started digging the soil.
"Uncle Ba, wait!"
"It's too late to wake up now, the formation is up!" Jiang Chao in the distance laughed grimly, pinched his hands, and a transparent yellow light shield immediately covered Wang Hao and the others.
"Is it the first time I go out that I encounter murder and treasure grabbing?" Wang Hao cursed speechlessly.
Wang Yanfeng put down the spirit shovel and said angrily: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, we two have not sinned against you, why are you like this? Now that you have taken away the formation, I can guarantee that nothing has happened!"
"Tian Nai, do you think I will stop?"
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you can't deal with us alone even with the help of the formation. There is still a glimmer of hope if you turn back soon, otherwise..." Wang Yanfeng continued to talk nonsense with Jiang Chao, while signaling Wang Hao to quickly recover his mana to deal with the next battle.
"Hehe, what about us?" Before he finished speaking, a woman in green and a black-faced man jumped out from behind Jiang Chao.
"You dare to ambush our Wang family cultivators, you are looking for death! The Wang family will not let you go."
The black-faced man laughed: "After this job, I will naturally leave Qingniufang City, so don't worry about it."
Looking at Wang Yanfeng who was talking nonsense, Wang Hao felt that his side was becoming more and more like the villain cannon fodder, and the other side was the protagonist. This uncle was really unreliable!
