Chapter 265: Luring
However, no matter how unwilling Luo Di and the others were, there was nothing they could do. They had no choice but to lower their heads. If this were to continue, those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds would probably throw them into the cave and feed them to the ferocious beasts.
Thus, all of them could only begrudgingly sign contracts with Xia Ping. Each person had to pay five hundred million federal coins. They had a total of twenty to thirty, so they had to pay a total of fifteen billion federal coins.
"Not bad, not bad."
Seeing Luo Di and the others sign the contract, Xia Ping was very satisfied. He said, "You people, although your moral character is bad and you do not have any conscience, you can still respect your teachers." "You know how to repent."
"As the saying goes, it"s good to learn from your mistakes." "If there"s a chance in the future, I"ll teach you a lesson and cut the price by half."
Educate my a.s.s!
Luo Di and the others grimaced. They wanted nothing more than to bite this shameless Xia Ping to death. He had extorted 500 million federation coins from each of them, yet he was still making sarcastic remarks.
No matter how stupid they were, they wouldn"t give 500 million federal coins to someone else to beat up. Wasn"t this asking for a beating?!
If there was a chance, they would definitely not let this kid off.
However, they didn"t dare to say anything. Otherwise, if they were too arrogant, they would probably be beaten up again by these shameless people.
"Yes, yes, yes." "This is all our fault."
"If there"s nothing else, we"ll be leaving." "I"ve been a little busy recently."
One by one, the Xuzhou examinees shouted. They wanted to leave, not even wanting to stop here for a second.
"Are you serious?" You"re leaving so soon? Should I get someone to send you off? After all, there are many monsters along the way, and it"s very dangerous. "Don"t worry, we don"t charge much."
Xia Ping said harmoniously.
"No, no, no. There"s no need to send me off."
"Big brothers, you still need to hunt for fire lizards." We"re busy, so there"s no need to send us off. "Although some of us have lost a leg, we can still leave by ourselves."
"Yes, no need to send me off. You"re too polite. "Big brothers, please do your own thing."
Hearing those words, the faces of Luo Di and the others sank. Just now, they had been extorted 500 million from each of them. If they were sent off by those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, who knows how much money they would have lost? They might even end up losing all their underwear.
They supported each other and limped away from the mountain. Even though they were injured and some of their legs were broken, they didn"t dare to stay here any longer.
They were afraid that if these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds changed their minds, they would be in trouble.
In a few minutes, this group of people disappeared from this mountain peak. Even though they were injured, they fled faster than rabbits.
"It looks like they"re fine as well." Otherwise, they wouldn"t have been able to run so quickly. "I"ve worried for nothing this time," Xia Ping lamented as he looked at the group of Xuzhou examinees leaving.
Jiang Yaru and the others looked at Xia Ping with contempt. If they were threatened like this, it would be strange if they didn"t run fast. They would have crawled away from this dangerous person.
However, Shi Fei and the others were feeling extremely refreshed. Having lived for so many years, they had rarely been so awe-inspiring. They had always been treated as a laughing stock by Roddy"s group of b.a.s.t.a.r.ds.
But now he was a slave who had turned over a new leaf. Even though this b.a.s.t.a.r.d Xia Ping was a little despicable and liked to extort people, he was still a decent person if he was one of them.
"Alright. Ignore those people. "Let"s go in and hunt the Firet Lizards." Xia Ping waved his hand and led the way into the cave.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Immediately, a group of people walked in. They discovered that the surroundings of the cave were dark. Only some fluorescent gra.s.s grew on the walls and could barely give off light.
If he went any deeper, it would be dark.
The entrance of the cave was huge, covering a thousand square meters.
However, what made things more difficult for them was that there were dozens of tunnels around the cave. They did not know where each tunnel extended to, and the terrain was very complicated.
"c.r.a.p, this is going to be troublesome." "I didn"t expect so many tunnels to appear here."
"Those Fire Lizards like to drill holes. From time to time, they would drill here and there. As time pa.s.sed, the mountain peaks became covered in tunnels, and the terrain became very complicated.
"If you enter and don"t know the way, you might get lost and never come out."
"The problem is that the Fire Lizards are hiding in the depths of the cave." "They won"t come out without entering."
Luo Di and the others must have been worried about this earlier. That is why they were lingering around the entrance and did not enter.
The crowd discussed this amongst themselves, finding it difficult. After all, they weren"t familiar with this place. If they were to randomly enter, get lost, and then be attacked by the Fire Lizards, that would be disastrous.
"We don"t need to go in at all." "We just need to lure these Fire Lizards out."
Xia Ping rubbed his chin.
Wu Tong was stunned when he heard that. "Attract them? "May I know how to attract these monsters?"
"Simple."
With a snap, Xia Ping immediately took out something from his body. It was the Gemstone Fruit. This was the remaining small piece of Gemstone Fruit that he had yet to finish eating.
"Gem fruits?!"
Seeing the fruit, Wu Tong and the others" expressions changed. They recognized the fruit and looked at Xia Ping in shock, asking, "Where did you find such a fruit?"
"That"s a secret."
Xia Ping did not intend to answer their questions. He looked at the entrance of the cave and said, "This Gemstone Fruit has a natural attraction to monsters. Even the Fire Lizard cannot withstand the effects of the Gemstone Fruit."
"Once they catch a whiff of this scent, they"ll definitely come running out." At that time, we"ll be able to hunt the Fire Lizards here without going too deep into the cave."
He clearly remembered the scene a few days ago in the oasis, where countless monsters were swarming madly. From this, he could see how attractive the gemstone fruit was to ordinary monsters.
"Let"s retreat first." "We"ll deal with these Fire Lizards outside the cave."
With that, Xia Ping led his men out of the cave and looked at the only cave entrance. If the Fiery Fire Lizards came out, they would have to come out from this tunnel.
Then he placed the gemstone fruit on the ground.
Immediately, the gemstone fruit gave off a rich fragrance and quickly entered the cave. It pa.s.sed through dozens of tunnels and reached an unknown location.
Rumble!
Only three minutes had pa.s.sed when a terrifying tremor came from the ground. It was as if the entire mountain was shaking. The gravel on the ground was shaking crazily, and sand was rolling.
"What"s going on?" Why is there such a huge commotion? "How many fire lizards have come out?" Sensing the commotion, Wu Tong and the others" faces turned green.
To be able to produce such a quake, it took more than ten or dozens of them, perhaps hundreds of them.
"The effect seems to be slightly better." Xia Ping touched his chin.
