Skinny Dog led Jin to the place where the fat sheep came from. He was a little excited.
Was it really because Jin had nothing to do? Was it really just because of curiosity? He didn't think so. How could there be nothing to do in the Treasure Forest? Even if there were no tree stalls, they could sell to others. The word "sell" came after the word "buy" came first.
Jin would go there because she was interested in these fat sheep. Recently, because of the situation in the Treasure Pavilion, the number of magic weapons flowing into the Treasure Forest increased sharply. Everyone wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. How could Jin, a senior trader in the Treasure Forest, miss such a rare opportunity? Compared with buying and selling, robbing and selling again was more profitable.
Skinny Dog didn't have great skills, but he believed in his eyesight. Although everyone said that Sister Jin relied on being careful in the Forest of Treasures for 20 years, she was very careful. But he always felt that Jin must have some skills that others didn't know. That was her biggest reliance. So recently, there had been more business. When many people began to form groups to do business without cost, Skinny Dog also wanted to have a chance. But he didn't have great skills and was timid. After thinking about it, he felt that it was the most reliable to follow Jin. Even if he couldn't take advantage of Jin, he wouldn't lose. Skinny Dog believed in Jin's cautiousness, and he believed in his opinion of Jin even more.
Now it seemed that everything was going in the direction he expected. Jin was interested in these fat sheep, so he would help her. If there were benefits, he would take some. If there were no benefits, there was no loss, right?
Skinny Dog made up his mind and walked faster and faster. These fat sheep were particularly ostentatious and had attracted the attention of several groups of people. Skinny Dog was afraid that it was a little late to go there. Jin focused on stability. It was impossible to fight with a bunch of people, so she must find a perfect opportunity. If he went now, could he catch up with the oriole behind?
Skinny Dog was thinking while walking. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong behind him. He looked back and found that Jin, who had been walking behind him, had disappeared.
Skinny Dog was about to shout, but he was hit on the head. Skinny Dog was scared to death, but he immediately recognized that there was no hostility from the strength of this blow. He hurriedly turned his head and saw Jin waving at him behind a tree.
Skinny Dog hurried over and saw Jin pointing at the tree. Skinny Dog understood. Using his hands and feet, he managed to stand on the branch suspended in mid-air. Looking around, he almost fell down.
There were so many people. Within a radius of dozens of meters, there was practically no tree without someone squatting on it. Seeing Skinny Dog join the fray, some of them ignored him, some of them looked at him warily, and some of them looked at him fiercely, already using their eyes to warn him.
Among these people, Skinny Dog noticed many familiar faces and couldn't help but shrink his head. Skinny Dog was not one of the top merchants in the Forest of Treasures. Now that he was directly facing so many ruthless people, Skinny Dog could not help but panic. He hurriedly looked down, hoping that Jin would come up to support him. However, seeing that so many people were paying attention to him at the same time. In this case, even if Jin had some unknown skills, she was still weak.
Skinny Dog was regretting it, but Jin had already jumped up the tree and landed lightly next to him. She had already sensed these people on the tree, so she was not surprised at all. Seeing more and more people, an awkward atmosphere spread in the middle of the forest. Everyone was thinking about a question in their hearts: With so many people, how should they kill the fat sheep when they come?
There were no rules in the Forest of Treasures. In this situation, who dared to make the first move? The one who made the first move was also a fat sheep in the eyes of others.
Everyone would think of this. So after Jin and Skinny Dog joined the fray, many people who were ambushing on the branches and treetops suddenly began to retreat. After a while, the people who had ambushed before were reduced by more than half.
Gave up?
No one would think so. Those who stayed on the tree seemed not to care, but in fact, they were carefully watching where each group of people went.
Some probably didn't want to get involved in this mess anymore, so they really left. But most of them just changed their posture and found another place to hide; and some faced forward, ready to make the first move.
Except for those who really left, everyone else was very careful. Just like the people in the tree wouldn't believe that they would leave easily, they wouldn't think that they could fool so many people by pretending.
Everyone did their best in acting, and it was breathtaking. In the end, the people who stayed on the tree and watched from above couldn't see anything. Skinny Dog felt more and more hopeless. At least he knew where the people were before, but what about now? After a while, did they leave or not? Where did they go? They didn't know anything!
Of course, the people who stayed on the tree wouldn't accept the situation where the enemy was in the dark while they were in the light. They also made adjustments and finally dispersed. Originally, the best ambush point was destroyed because of the awkward tacit understanding between the two of them.
Skinny Dog looked at Jin on the side, not knowing what she would do.
Jin didn't move. Seeing that everyone had dispersed, she just smiled and then looked into the distance.
The Treasure Forest was located in the south central part of the mainland. The climate was mild. Even in winter, the forest was still lush. Looking from the tree, there were large areas of cover. Skinny Dog looked in the direction that Jin was looking at, but there was only green in front of him. The low-level ability of x-ray vision couldn't cope with such a large number of cover.
"They're coming." Jin suddenly said when Skinny Dog didn't see anything.
"What's coming?" Skinny Dog looked confused. He looked at Jin, but found that Jin's expression was also a little confused.
It shouldn't be!
Jin was indeed a little puzzled.
Coming down from this tree, there were four groups of people who wanted to make the first move. They circled around to intercept and kill them. These four groups were not alone. They were all teams of about five people.
Which of these four groups of people would make the first move? Who could make the last move? Would one of the parties change their plans at the last minute? Jin was about to extend her perception further and continue to explore, but she found that she couldn't find these four groups of people.
In that direction, what she perceived was five people coming in this direction and some clanking sounds.
Are they really carrying Divine Weapons in their hands?
Jin now completely believed what Skinny Dog said. This must be an ignorant child from a family. He only knew about the Treasure Forest from the adults, but he didn't know the depth at all.
But which family's child would have so many Divine Weapons?
They came from Xuan Jun City. There were many forces in Xuan Jun City that the Treasure Forest absolutely didn't dare to provoke. The Treasure Forest became ungoverned only because there would be endless friction between the three empires. It was their mutual checks and balances that led to the current situation. As for the businessmen who mingled in the Treasure Forest, they had never been a factor for them to consider.
So this fat sheep who broke into the Treasure Forest with Divine Weapons in their hands should have some kind of powerful background. That's why they dared to be so ostentatious, right?
But if this was really the case, then these fat sheep were really wrong.
His identity and status would cause many people to be wary of him. However, the Treasure Forest had no lack of fugitives. Especially with the recent influx of Divine Weapons, it attracted many criminals. Some of the people squatting on the tree just now were old faces, but many of them didn't even know Jin, who had been in the Treasure Forest for more than twenty years. They were all vicious people who came to the Treasure Forest recently. In this ungoverned Treasure Forest, identity and background in front of such people would only make them more cautious and not leave any flaws.
So those guys wanted others to make the first move, so they didn't make a move, right?
