Three standard units of Life Crystals were equivalent to 300 years worth of Life Crystals.
Fatso was stunned by the man's sudden demand. He did not expect the three adventurers to turn against him.
Lin Huang, who was standing aside, said calmly, "Are you guys planning to rob them?"
"Who said we're robbing you? Pay us and we'll bring you into the Fog Canyon to find the Life Seed monster. It's a fair deal! "The balding man who blocked their way smiled.
"We don't need you to lead the way. Can you move away now?" Lin Huang finally understood what they were trying to do. They were not robbing but forcing them to buy and sell.
Even if they were to complain to Adventurer Paradise, they could not do anything to them.
"If you do this, I can only call the complaint number now," Fatty threatened.
"Little Fatso, there's a reason why we're blocking your way." The man with the beard laughed.
Fatso wanted to call the complaint number but the three adventurers did not stop him. He was shocked when he opened the communication page as there was no signal.
"You have two choices. First, each of you pay us three Life Crystals and we'll bring you into the Fog Canyon to find your Life Seed monster. We'll then send you back to Fog City safely. The two of you, promise not to leak this matter out. It will be good for everyone if we let this matter go. " The man seemed to think that he was going to take advantage of Lin Huang and Fatso. He increased the price again from three Life Crystals to three each.
"Do you believe our verbal promises?" Lin Huang guessed that he had something up his sleeves.
"Of course not. You'll have to repeat your promises after what I say." The dark-skinned middle-aged man stuck out his tongue as he spoke. Black runes began to appear on his tongue.
"You're ruining the profession of a Spiritual Speaker." Lin Huang could tell that it was the mark of a Spiritual Speaker.
A Spiritual Speaker was a rare profession. They had the power of language and could use it to curse or control people's actions. Some of them could even decide a person's fate and life with just a word.
The dark and skinny middle-aged man in front of him must have only grasped the tip of the iceberg. Otherwise, with the income of a regular Spirit Speech Master, there would be no need for him to engage in this sort of robbery.
The man glared at Lin Huang. "I'll double your price to six Life Crystals."
"Tell me, what's the second option?" Lin Huang ignored him and asked while raising his brow.
"The second option is for us to kill the two of you and take everything from you. Then, we'll throw your corpses into this canyon and let the monsters eat your corpses to destroy the evidence. Then, we'll go back three days later and tell Adventurer Paradise that you didn't arrive at the agreed rendezvous point. "The dark and thin middle-aged man's face was gloomy as he stated the second option.
When Fatty heard that, he immediately panicked. "We'll choose the first option!"
"Wait a minute." Lin Huang held Fatso back and glanced at the three of them. "These two options are not good enough. I'll give you the third option."
"Brat, you must be tired of living!" The balding man scolded.
"It's okay. Let him finish." The man stopped the balding man.
"The third option is for you to leave now and we'll pretend that nothing happened. We'll never know each other again." Lin Huang continued, "This is the best I can offer. You'll regret it if you don't accept it."
"You're a noble?" The three of them frowned. Only a noble would dare to say something like that.
"No, I heard him calling you Lin Huang. Your surname is Lin!" The man shook his head. "There's no noble with the surname Lin in the entire Division7! How dare you lie to us?! "
"I've never said that I'm a noble and I'm not lying. I'm just someone you can't afford to offend. I suggest that you guys consider my third option, "Lin Huang said to the skinny man as he knew that he was the one who had the final say in this matter.
Lin Huang did not want to expose his abilities in front of Fatso. Fatso was too talkative and could easily expose his secrets.
"Boss, why are you hesitating? This brat is obviously lying to us! If he's really capable, he would've attacked us already. Why would he waste his breath on us?! " The balding man saw through Lin Huang but he did not know that it was not that Lin Huang was incapable but that he did not want to attack them.
The man thought that Lin Huang's words made sense. He was furious. "How dare you lie to us. Let's kill these two brats!"
The three of them charged at Lin Huang and Lin Huang with their weapons in their hands.
"Sigh …" Lin Huang sighed helplessly.
Bai, who had white hair and a black mask, appeared in front of Lin Huang.
Out of the four bloody wings, three turned into sharp blades and attacked. They were so fast that Lin Huang could not even catch them with his eyes.
Three red rays flashed in the air. The bearded man and the balding man's silver-colored weapons were broken. There was a bloody wound on their waists. Their upper and lower bodies were separated from their waists. They were cut in half.
The leader of the group was sent flying. His gold-colored weapon collided with Bai's wings and he was sent flying.
In the process of flying backward, he saw his two brothers cut in half at the waist in an instant, and his scalp went numb. He took advantage of the momentum and rolled into the misty valley.
"I've told you that you can't afford to offend me but you didn't listen to me …" Lin Huang shook his head. He did not bother to look for the two bodies. They were so poor that there was no need for him to pick up their bodies.
Fatty stood rooted to the ground for a long time before he snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Bai from head to toe. "Is this a vampire?"
"Sort of." Lin Huang did not plan to explain that Bai had evolved into a vampire. It was better for Fatso to know less about his secret.
"A four-winged vampire? Isn't that gold-level? How did you manage to control such a monster? "Fatso asked as he saw the four blood wings on Bai's back.
"It's not gold-level, it's just a mutation." Lin Huang shook his head.
"You can kill a silver-level in seconds and you're not gold-level?!" Fatso had more questions in his mind. He even started to doubt Lin Huang's combat strength.
"Stop asking, let's go in." Lin Huang interrupted him.
"Will that guy attack us at the entrance of the valley?" Fatso asked worriedly. They could not see far away from the thick mist.
"Don't worry, he's scared out of his wits. He can't wait to get away from me. Why would he attack us here?" Lin Huang shook his head. When the skinny man ran away, he looked like he was terrified. He must have run as far as he could.
"Don't you want to see if there's anything valuable on the bodies? They're silver-level after all. "Fatso asked.
"You can pick them up if you want. They're all yours." Lin Huang was not interested.
"Remember what you said." Fatty hurriedly picked up the corpses in high spirits. He rummaged through their bodies for a while, but didn't find anything valuable. After a while, he stood up and looked at Lin Huang. "It seems like you knew that there's nothing valuable on them."
"They even kept the bodies of iron-level monsters in their storage rings. How much valuable do you think they have?" Lin Huang smiled and shook his head.
"That's true." Fatso recalled that they had been picking up the monster bodies along the way.
"It's past four in the morning. Let's find a place to rest." Lin Huang did not recall Bai. Instead, he asked Bai to lead the way while he and Fatso followed behind into the valley.
The valley was still covered in thick mist. They could not see anything more than ten meters away.
If it were someone else, they would definitely be nervous in such an environment. However, Lin Huang had Bai with him, so he was not worried about what would come out of the thick fog.
In a level-4 wild zone, only gold-level monsters could threaten Bai. As long as they did not go too deep into the valley, they would not encounter gold-level monsters.
"Fatso, why did you follow them in such a hurry? Were you threatened by them? "Lin Huang asked.
"Yes, I told the front desk that I wanted to look for a team when I entered the Adventurer Paradise and the three of them came to me. They said that they needed someone to follow them and they had to leave immediately. Of course, I didn't want to. We've only arrived in Fog City for a few minutes. I wanted to rest and look for a team with a flying mount. "
"They said that as long as they were around, other teams wouldn't accept my mission. I had no choice but to look for the front desk staff. She said that the three of them were experienced. If the three of them came to me, no other team would accept my request for at least a month. They said that although their abilities were average, even gold-level people wouldn't want to mess with them. I could afford to wait for a month, but I couldn't let you stay here too. That's why I agreed to join them. "
"I thought that I would be free when we arrive at the destination. I didn't expect them to not only force me to buy and sell, but also kill me to rob me! "
Fatso's explanation was similar to what Lin Huang had guessed earlier.
"If I knew that your summoning monster was so powerful, I wouldn't have looked for a team." Fatso glanced at Bai as he said that. He was envious of Lin Huang for having such a powerful summoning monster.
"I don't want anyone to know about my trump card unless it's absolutely necessary," Lin Huang explained.
"Don't worry. Although I, Fatso, am a chatterbox, I'll keep my mouth shut." Fatso zipped his mouth.
"I'd be a fool to believe you …" Lin Huang thought to himself. "I was worried that you might tell the others, that's why I kept it from you."
At that moment, Bai stopped and pointed at a rock wall in front of them.
Lin Huang nodded. "Alright, let's rest here. Help me dig a hole."
After a night of running, Lin Huang had been running for more than six hours. He was indeed tired. Although Fatso had only been running for three hours, he was tired.
After a while, Bai had dug a hole. It was narrow on the outside and wide on the inside. They had to bend down to enter the hole, but they could stand up straight after entering.
After the two of them entered, they were quite satisfied.
They took out their portable tents and Fatso went in.
Lin Huang recalled Bai and summoned the Demonic Dandelion Vine, turning it into a vine to seal the entrance.
