He could choose not to fight Xu Hong, but Bai Xiaowen had to kill Zhao Zhixiong's teammate, Tai Shuisheng.
Tai Shuisheng was just an elite-level Awakened main tank. It would not take much effort for Bai Xiaowen to kill him. A group of summoned creatures approached step by step, forcing Tai Shuisheng out of the main battlefield. Then, Zhang Ting and the others temporarily hid.
Seeing that Bai Xiaowen was up to no good, Tai Shuisheng was a little afraid. He took a step back and said, "Can you let me go?"
He looked around. When he was sure that there were no natives of the Spirit World, he quickly said, "I'm willing to carry out the loser's clause. I'll pay you 5,000 psionic energy points. Please let me go this time … Also, if you allow me to stay in the Jiajing Plane, I'll double the price. I'll give you 10,000 psionic energy points!"
"I didn't expect you to be so rich." Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised, but he still shook his head firmly. "However, I won't let you go."
"Is it because Zhao Zhixiong is dead that you're worried about silencing him? Don't be like this. I can guarantee that I won't tell anyone the cause of Zhao Zhixiong's death! No one will find you! " Tai Shuisheng retreated again and again. He gritted his teeth and a talisman appeared in his hand. "I have a returning item. You … you can't kill me."
Tai Shuisheng took the initiative to set the talisman in his hand to display it to Bai Xiaowen.
[Ground Escape Talisman: After use, the user can ignore the requirements of the main mission and be teleported out of the Spirit World. It can be used in combat. If the main mission is not completed when used, the gains in the Spirit World, including but not limited to psionic energy points, equipment, and items, will disappear.]
The returning item was very precious. Tai Shuisheng could not bear to use it, so he intended to bargain with Bai Xiaowen. He wanted to use the loser's clause to get his life back.
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and quickly weighed the pros and cons.
He wanted to kill Tai Shuisheng to prevent future trouble, but after seeing the Ground Escape Talisman in Tai Shuisheng's hand, he knew that it was impossible. At least in the Jiajing Plane, he could not kill him.
Previously, when he killed Zhao Zhixiong, he had planned for Zhao Zhixiong to be attracted by the huge benefits and not run away immediately. Then, Bai Xiaowen cooperated with Shadow Assassin to kill Zhao Zhixiong by surprise.
Now, Tai Shuisheng was like a frightened bird. As long as Bai Xiaowen made a further attack, he would immediately use the Ground Escape Talisman to escape.
After Tai Shuisheng escaped, in order to take revenge on Bai Xiaowen, he would definitely reveal the news of Zhao Zhixiong's death to the guilds that he belonged to.
Bai Xiaowen raised his hand and said calmly, "You have a good relationship with Zhao Zhixiong, don't you? He was so generous to you. Don't you want to take revenge for him? "" That's right. You'll get a life-saving return item. "
Tai Shuisheng looked indignant and said, "You think he treats me well? He only treated me as a follower. Every time I charged at the front and bled, he would leisurely shoot arrows from the back and take away most of the contribution points! He picked all the spoils of war and left me some scraps. I secretly saved this Ground Escape Talisman. Zhao Zhixiong doesn't know about it at all! "
Bai Xiaowen thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I can accept your proposal and use the loser's clause."
Tai Shuisheng's face lit up with joy. The difference between the Awakened who often wandered in the Spirit Realm and whether they had a Ground Escape Talisman or not was huge. For example, this time, if Tai Shuisheng did not have a Ground Escape Talisman, he would most likely be killed by Bai Xiaowen. With the Ground Escape Talisman, he could use it as a basis to negotiate with Bai Xiaowen.
The next time he encountered a situation where he was hunted down by an Awakened, Tai Shuisheng could do the same. He could pay a part of the psionic points to redeem his life.
However, before Tai Shuisheng could be happy for too long, Bai Xiaowen quickly added, "A Ground Escape Talisman should be worth a lot, right?"
Tai Shuisheng understood the meaning behind Bai Xiaowen's words. He hesitated for a moment and said, "It's worth … about ten or twenty thousand psionic points."
Bai Xiaowen sneered. "I'll pay twenty thousand psionic points to buy your Ground Escape Talisman. Are you willing? Do you think I don't know the market price? "
With that, Bai Xiaowen showed the Ground Escape Talisman to Tai Shuisheng. Li Shuyi, who was next to him, also showed him a Ground Escape Talisman.
Tai Shuisheng's eyes widened. A hint of greed flashed in his eyes, but he suppressed it.
In fact, Bai Xiaowen really did not know the market price of Ground Escape Talismans. He just speculated that it could not be so low and wanted to trick Tai Shuisheng. Tai Shuisheng himself did not have the experience of buying a Ground Escape Talisman. This Ground Escape Talisman was exchanged with merit points in the Spirit Realm. It was not taken from a psionic energy auction on Earth.
"The current situation is that if I don't agree to the loser's clause, you will be forced to use the Ground Escape Talisman. If I agree, you can save it, "Bai Xiaowen said.
Tai Shuisheng was not stupid. He tried to seize the initiative. "But if you agree to the loser's clause, I will ensure that the secret of Zhao Zhixiong's death by your hands will not be known. There will also be no follow-up revenge. This is beneficial to you."
"Revenge? Do you think I will care? "Bai Xiaowen laughed." Isn't he just a rookie from a Class A guild? Am I worse than him? If you want to be reasonable, Zhao Zhixiong ambushed me and tried to kill me first. There are hints from the Spirit Realm's rules as proof. If this matter is brought to the officials, I will be in the right. "
Tai Shuisheng said in a muffled voice, "What do you want? Name your price."
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "First of all, you have to pay 10,000 psionic energy points to buy your life. Don't feel bad. Compared to a Ground Escape Talisman, 10,000 psionic energy points is very low. "
Tai Shuisheng instinctively wanted to refuse, but when he saw the Wrath Claw sharpening its claws, Fatty's small eyes flashing fiercely, and the number of summoned creatures that made his scalp tingle … he gave in. 10,000 psionic energy points was not a small sum for him, but it was not like he could not afford it.
"Secondly, you have to promise that you will not reveal anything that happened in the Jiajing Plane. You will not reveal any information about the cause of Zhao Zhixiong's death! This will be notarized by the Spirit Realm's rules. You will pay the notarization fee, "Bai Xiaowen added.
The notarization fee was not much, only a few hundred psionic energy points. Tai Shuisheng tacitly agreed to this condition. The corner of his mouth twitched as he asked, "Anything else?"
"That's all. Agree to these, and you can keep your Ground Escape Talisman and leave the Jiajing Plane, "Bai Xiaowen said.
Tai Shuisheng hesitated for a moment, but he still agreed.
The two of them quickly signed a notarization agreement. Then, Tai Shuisheng traded 10,000 psionic energy points to Bai Xiaowen according to the agreement. Bai Xiaowen also lifted the siege of Tai Shuisheng by the summoned creatures according to the agreement. Tai Shuisheng took two steps forward and looked back again. Then, he quickly slipped to a place not far away. After waiting for ten seconds, he left the Jiajing Plane.
"There are still some hidden dangers. Tai Shuisheng might not be able to keep the secret, "Bai Xiaowen said.
Li Shuyi was puzzled. "If you violate the agreement, you will never be able to enter the Spirit Realm. Is Tai Shuisheng really willing to bear this price? "
"Tai Shuisheng definitely won't be willing to bear this price himself, so he will definitely keep it a secret for us. He will also fabricate a story about Zhao Zhixiong's accidental death. However, I don't know if this story will satisfy the important person behind Zhao Zhixiong. If they see through it, the person behind Zhao Zhixiong will definitely investigate, and Tai Shuisheng will become the breakthrough point. Perhaps when the time comes, he will not be able to act independently. "
Bai Xiaowen paused. Despite having such concerns, Bai Xiaowen's choices were very narrow. Being able to squeeze 10,000 psionic energy points out of Tai Shuisheng was already the most optimal choice.
This was better than taking the risk of killing him and letting Tai Shuisheng escape from the Jiajing Plane. Then, he would take the initiative to report all of this to the important person behind Zhao Zhixiong.
Li Shuyi also understood why Bai Xiaowen made such a choice. He smiled and said, "Alright! Even if the other party finds out, it's not a big deal. We are not to be trifled with. "
Bai Xiaowen exhaled lightly and cast aside his unnecessary worries. He smiled and said, "That's right. There's no point in thinking too much. Let's go. Don't let the two pirate leaders, Chen Dong and Ye Mazi, wait too long. "
… …
Golden Gate Island was not big. It was only 150 square kilometers. Bai Xiaowen, Li Shuyi, Zhang Ting, and the other two elite captains started tracking.
With the Wrath Claw around, it was not difficult to find traces of the escaping Chen Dong and Ye Mazi.
After tracking them to the vicinity of a cliff, the Wrath Claw let out a low whine.
"What's wrong?" Li Shuyi asked through the team channel.
"We're almost there." Bai Xiaowen and the Wrath Claw had a telepathic connection. There was no difficulty in communicating with the Wrath Claw. It could be regarded as a level 8 orc language. "However, the Wrath Claw discovered a new situation. The two scents it was tracking have converged at this location."
Li Shuyi: "So you're saying that Chen Dong and Ye Mazi converged at the same place when they escaped?"
"That's right." Bai Xiaowen nodded.
"Two pirate leaders. Although they're both injured, they're not easy to deal with. They should still have some pirates under their command. "Li Shuyi was a little worried. He glanced at the three elite captains beside him.
"The difficulty of this mission is C-level. If we're honest, we'll only be responsible for keeping an eye on them. Once the government has suppressed Xu Hai and the other pirates, we'll send elite soldiers to kill the two pirate leaders. This is the easiest choice. However, the reward is also the lowest," Bai Xiaowen said. "If we personally kill Chen Dong and Ye Mazi, the difficulty of the mission will increase. Of course, the evaluation and reward will also be higher."
"So, your decision is …" Li Shuyi looked at Bai Xiaowen with a faint smile.
Bai Xiaowen squeezed his fingers: "Let's go. It's just a C-level hero mission. Even if the difficulty is increased, how much harder can it be? If we can't complete it, then no one in the two-man team of intermediate hunters can. "
…
On a low mountain ridge, the two pirates, Ye Mazi and Chen Dong, looked at each other and sighed. Beside them, there were several elite pirates following them. All of them looked frightened.
"I didn't expect Monk Xu to be so vicious. He wants to destroy both of us in one fell swoop. His appetite is too big!" Chen Dong said indignantly.
"Brother Chen, I've long said that Monk Xu is not a good person. Do you believe me now? After we escape this disaster, we'll reorganize the fleet and kill Monk Xu! "Ye Mazi's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
Chen Dong said, "Monk Xu is not doing well now. He was stabbed by his own cousin and is in the middle of an internal strife. That's why I was able to escape … I'm not like you. I don't have a secret technique to escape from the battlefield."
Ye Mazi's slightly fat face was pale. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The price is too high."
Suddenly, Chen Dong narrowed his eyes and looked at the sea in the distance: "That's not right. Why are there so many ships?"
Ye Mazi looked in the direction of the sound. After seeing the flags of the incoming ships, he was shocked: "These, these are all warships of the imperial court! Monk Xu is indeed colluding with the imperial court. This time, he wants to sell us both to the imperial court! "
"Brother Ye, don't worry about it so much. Let's change our appearance first and quietly sneak back to Golden Gate Port to see the situation … If things are still okay, we'll lead our men to fight our way out! If there's no hope, we'll quietly slip away in the chaos. As long as there's life, there's hope. After a few years, we'll still be able to gather a group of people! "
Chen Dong still had a trace of luck in his heart because he saw the scene of Xu Hai being stabbed by Xu Hong. He felt that the alliance between Xu Hai and the Ming army might not be so close.
However, the moment Chen Dong stood up, a sense of crisis welled up in his heart. His sense of danger, which had been honed through life and death for more than ten years on the sea, made him almost unhesitatingly turn sideways. At the same time, he felt a pain in his side ribs. A short sword had pierced his ribs.
Chen Dong let out a muffled groan and slapped out with the back of his hand. This slap was so powerful that it sent the attacker flying several meters away.
Ye Ma scolded, "Sneaky bastard, die for me!" He raised his broadsword and slashed down with all his strength.
However, before Ye Ma Zi's blade could hit its target, a bolt of lightning accurately struck down from the sky and interrupted his movements!
The ambusher quickly retreated after her attack failed. It was a woman shrouded in black mist. It was Bai Xiaowen's Shadow Assassin.
"You two made me look for you."
A voice sounded. Chen Dong, Ye Ma Zi, and the other pirates looked over and saw Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi appear at the corner of the valley with a group of summoned creatures.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Chen Dong asked coldly. He had been stabbed by the Shadow Assassin. Although it didn't hit his vitals, it was still very painful. Normally, this pirate leader would have already ordered his subordinates to rush over and tear the attacker to shreds.
However, now that Chen Dong had fallen from grace, he didn't dare to be so fierce. He could only swallow his anger and understand the situation.
"I'm a disciple of the Taoist sect. I can be considered half a member of the imperial court," Bai Xiaowen said slowly. "This time, I'm here to kill the two of you, or to be killed by the two of you."
Li Shuyi almost laughed out loud.
Chen Dong's heart was burning with anger. Bai Xiaowen's status as a member of the imperial court made him even more fearful. He placed his fingers behind his back and quietly sent out orders. The few elite pirates saw this and understood. They quietly spread out and looked around.
Not long after, the elite pirates replied with a hand gesture to Chen Dong.
"Only the few of you?" Chen Dong's courage was boosted. He had thought that the imperial army was lying in ambush nearby, but who would have thought that there wasn't.
