Even Han Fei was a little surprised that this man knew where they came from and the purpose of their trip.
Bai Ranran asked, "Why do you say that?"
The middle-aged man glanced around and motioned those who were about to attack to step back.
He said, "If you have been in the wilderness for a long time, you must know the existence of the Sea Monster Fortress. And your strength indicates that you are extraordinary. Judging from the protective jade slip just now, that should be a super strong master at the late-stage of the Star Transformation Realm. In this wilderness, it is theoretically impossible for such a strong master to appear. Since you have appeared, there is only one answer. You are from the Chaotic Wasteland. "
Bai Ranran asked, "So, you allow us to leave?"
The middle-aged man nodded slightly, but then said, "You can leave, but you have to pay something. Of course, I am kind enough to explain some basic knowledge of the wilderness to you, so that you don't know anything about it. This is a deal. "
Their hearts sank slightly.
Hearing this middle-aged man's words, Pan Ying secretly took out another jade slip. "What is the Sea Monster Fortress?"
The middle-aged man chuckled. "In the entire Sea Realm, there are five divine lands. Among them, the wilderness occupies the largest area. In the wilderness, there are some special places, such as your Chaotic Wasteland, Ghost Strait, Sea of Gods and Demons, Floating City, Boundless Mining Area, etc. It can be said that all the forces in the Sea Realm are actually built on the wilderness. And the wilderness is boundless and dangerous. Whether it is independent cultivators or the major forces, they have never stopped exploring it. And in the wilderness, the most common kind of wilderness gathering place, do you know what it is? "
How did Han Fei and the others know? Including Bai Ranran, none of them had ever been out of the Chaotic Wasteland.
Even Pan Ying, as a core descendant of the first lord of the Scavenger City, had never learned any information about the outside world.
Perhaps this was the intention of the major forces in the Chaotic Wasteland, but in any case, they really knew nothing about the outside world.
The middle-aged man knew that Han Fei and the others couldn't answer, so he said, "In the wilderness, there are only two situations: hunting and being hunted. The Sea Monster Fortress is a gathering place for many strong masters, relying on sea beasts, to resist strong enemies, and to hunt conveniently. Its essence is still plunder. "
Bai Ranran asked, "Does that mean that Senior is determined to rob us?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I know you have extraordinary origins, but no matter how extraordinary you are, your battle prowess is just for show. I don't want to offend the experts behind you, but it doesn't mean that you can leave in front of us without paying anything. Therefore, he had to pay the price. Meanwhile, I won't be stingy in explaining the rules of the wilderness to you all. "
Han Fei suddenly asked, "How did you find us?"
That was what Han Fei had been curious about. Although they could hide in the void, they were moving fast. It would not be easy for the enemy to locate them and approach them quietly.
The middle-aged man didn't evade the question. He said, "Perception is the easiest power to be deceived. Perhaps you're too used to the Primal Chaos Wasteland that you don't know that it's a place where the strong prey on the weak. Cultivators can use all sorts of methods to avoid detection. That's all I have to say. As for how to avoid detection, if you are willing to pay a certain amount of resources, I won't be stingy to tell you. "
Han Fei's heart moved. He didn't want to spend money to buy information. As for how to avoid detection, as long as he was willing, he had many ways to find out.
As for whether Bai Ranran and the others were willing to spend money, he didn't know.
Bai Ranran asked, "Senior, how many resources do you need?"
Bai Ranran needed to weigh the price. Although they were confident that they could escape, the price of escaping was also not low.
How could a late-stage Star Transformation protective jade slip be so easily obtained? For example, the value of Pan Ying's jade slip was indescribably high. If they had to spend a few jade slips of this level just to fight this battle, it would be too much of a loss.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Five people, one million strands of chaotic energy each. This is only one. I heard that the Primal Chaos Wasteland produces energy crystals. One million strands of chaotic energy per person. "
Han Fei's heart moved. From this person's asking price, Han Fei felt that this person actually had a certain understanding of the Primal Chaos Wasteland, but it wasn't deep enough. This meant that he had never been to the Primal Chaos Wasteland.
A normal peak-stage Sea Expansion Realm cultivator probably couldn't take out a million strands of chaotic energy. Only people like Han Fei, who had a shocking amount of chaotic energy, could absorb it from the endless void.
As for energy crystals, who could take out a million of them casually?
This middle-aged man must have seen that Han Fei and the others were talented and powerful, which was why he dared to ask for such an exorbitant price.
"Ridiculous!"
Pan Ying shouted in a low voice, "Do you know how many resources this is? You dare to ask for it? Do you really think you can do whatever you want with seven or eight Heaven Opening Realm cultivators? "
With that, Pan Ying held a jade slip in one hand and said, "Believe it or not, I can pierce through you and make you get no resources at all."
"Hahaha ~"
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Little girl, it depends on the situation. How many do you have for a full-strength attack of this level? I can say very bluntly that I can block three more. Maybe you have a fourth, a fifth, or even a tenth. But … Don't forget one thing. You have just come out of the Chaotic Wasteland. If you use these resources today, what will you do when you encounter other enemies in the future? "
Before Pan Ying scolded him, the middle-aged man continued, "You can block the sea monster fortresses, but what about the mobile fortresses? That's a large wilderness settlement composed of multiple sea monster fortresses. There are dozens of Heaven Opening Realm cultivators and hundreds of Sea Expansion Realm cultivators. Even the most exaggerated mobile fortresses are guarded by Venerable Emperors. Do you want to scare them with your jade slips? "
At this time, someone sneered and said, "You brats, you won't lose anything if you suffer a loss now. Save the treasures for later use. Why waste them here? "
Someone said disdainfully, "Little girl, do you really want to fight to the death? Is this what you want?"
Bai Ranran glanced at Pan Ying and Han Fei, and then looked at the middle-aged man. "The 30% of the resources you just mentioned is my limit. Otherwise, let's fight! I promise that none of you will survive. "
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly. "Little girl, don't be so stubborn. 30% is too little, at least 60%. "
However, Bai Ranran snorted coldly. "Pan Ying, Li Shenhao."
Immediately, five or six jade slips appeared beside each of them. Bai Ranran sneered. "What will happen to us in the future is a matter for the future. Now, I'm giving you face by giving you the resources. Don't be greedy. "
Bai Ranran originally wanted to say that she would only give them 20%, but after some consideration, she realized that if she only gave them 20%, the other party was likely to choose to fight first.
By then, they might be able to beat them back, but it wouldn't be worth it. Just as the middle-aged man said, they had just left the Chaotic Wasteland and still had a long way to go. If they used all their trump cards now, what would they use in the future?
Therefore, it was meaningless to fight such a battle. Why should they fight?
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, then suddenly said with a smile, "Fine! Young people nowadays are really difficult to deal with! 30% it is! "
This time, Bai Ranran shouted, "Give it to us!"
They could indeed give these resources, but they all felt a little aggrieved. Especially Pan Ying, she really wanted to go up and kill all these people.
But Han Fei was different. He could understand this kind of robbery. This was like pirates. They made a living by robbing as much as they could. As long as they intimidated you, they could always get some resources. Everyone had their own rules of survival. If possible, not everyone would become a pirate.
However, no matter what this middle-aged man did, he had robbed Han Fei of his things. And Han Fei had never been a person who would allow others to rob him of his things.
After Han Fei and the others all gave him the resources, the middle-aged man nodded slightly, and those who had surrounded Han Fei and the others all returned to the back of the big octopus. Then the void around them twisted, and they all disappeared.
The middle-aged man looked at Han Fei and the others with a smile and said, "I look forward to our next cooperation."
After saying that, the giant octopus's body turned transparent. Its tentacles reached into the void, and its huge body drilled into it. In an instant, it disappeared without a trace.
Pan Ying asked, "Sister Ranran, what should we do now? If we often encounter these sea monster fortresses along the way, won't we be robbed sooner or later? "
Bai Ranran said, "There are loopholes in his words. In this wilderness, there can't be such looting sea monster fortresses everywhere. At least, there will be special places like cities, which can be used for the exchange of materials and for the rest of the wilderness wanderers. This man just deliberately made the wilderness look ferocious. "
Li Shenhao asked, "Then our top priority is to find a large gathering place for wilderness wanderers, right?"
Bai Ranran nodded. "Yes! We are too unfamiliar with the wilderness now. It's not a good idea to go on like this. "
And Han Fei said indifferently, "I think we can go separately."
"Separately?"
Pan Ying immediately said, "If we go separately and encounter such a sea monster fortress, we will have nowhere to run."
Han Fei said indifferently, "He didn't answer my question. How did he find us?"
Pan Ying asked, "Just by chance?"
Bai Ranran shook her head. "No! With our strength, even if the perception of a Heaven-Opening State being sweeps over us, our hearts will be stirred. So, first of all, we can rule out the possibility that the other party detected our location with their perception. "
Li Shenhao suddenly said, "Is it possible that the creatures in the surrounding sea have their spies? And then they tell them that we have been here in some way? "
Pan Ying said, "How is it possible? How many spies do they have in this vast wilderness? You know, they are always moving. "
Bai Ranran suddenly said, "It's the Sea of Stars. They must have observed us through the Sea of Stars."
Han Fei nodded. "That's the fundamental reason why they all hide in the Sea of Stars."
