Chapter 206 Mirage
Yi Shuihan looked at the energy spar in his hand, this thing is of good quality, unexpectedly, there is a nice name "Tianjing" in this devil star.

"Are you sure you want to use this piece of Sky Crystal as my employment reward?" Sasha still couldn't believe it was true, and looked around nervously, fearing that others would steal her business.

"Yes, I want to know some information about this star, especially the situation around here. You should be very familiar with this place, right?"

Sasha said excitedly: "Yes, I am a reformer born and bred here, it is very wise for you to find me." After a pause, she said shyly and very seriously: "Excuse me, can you pay me 15.00 first?" % commission, this is the practice of the bodyguards of Yuyue City, if you think it is too much, you can pay [-]% less, and Sasha will protect your safety with her life."

The little girl said something serious, Yi Shuihan was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing, while laughing, he said, "Sasha, this spar is yours, don't act so resigned to death, okay?"

Unexpectedly, Sasha looked sadly at the solar panels being repaired in the distance and said: "Most residents in this city are rehabilitated people, and we all paid a heavy price for being able to survive in such a harsh environment. There is a deadly crisis lurking in the sea. My uncle died half a month ago in the battle with the mirage beast. He is my pride. The reformers here are often hired by businessmen in the crater to take risks in the sand sea. We are both bodyguards and Hunter, as long as you pay, Sasha will definitely work for you."

Yi Shuihan restrained his smile, patted Sasha on the shoulder kindly and said, "I'm the one who underestimated you. I'm sorry, and I also express regret for your uncle's death in battle. Now I also solemnly tell you that this spar is It's yours, but you have to take good care of me, little bodyguard."

Smiling lightly, Yi Shuihan stepped towards the city gate, threw up the spar in his hand, and landed it in Sasha's hand skillfully in an arc.

Sasha was slightly taken aback, and looked at the crystal in her hand in surprise. The crystal is something that all the residents of Devil Star need very much, especially when they transform people. Usually, employers only use this thing as a reward unless there is a big action, but usually they use it. The unique mirage beast scales are used as currency.Mirage beasts are also called treasure beasts on this desert planet. In addition to the scales that are used as currency, there are many valuable treasures in the body, especially a crystal nucleus that is a hundred times more precious than the best sky crystal in the beast's brain. The stuff people dream of.

The streets of Xunyue City are very simple and bare. Occasionally, some broken bottles and cans can be seen in front of the twisted rock houses, which are probably used by people here to catch rainwater.

Sasha jumped and followed Yi Shuihan, and exclaimed happily: "This crystal is so good, it can be worth half a year's hard work of absorbing solar energy by Sasha. Dear employer, welcome to our Xunyue City, this crystal is mine!" Only 12.00% is charged, and the rest will be returned to you.”

12.00% of the spar was split out exactly. Yi Shuihan noticed that Sasha's hair had only been stroked lightly, and the spar had been divided.

"Your hair is very strange." Yi Shuihan praised, it seems that this hair is not a wig.

Sasha said happily: "My hair is actually a weapon, but the more important thing is that they can absorb solar energy to enhance the energy of body cells. This 12.00% Tianjing is stronger than sitting quietly and absorbing solar energy for a month."

After speaking, Sasha wanted to return the remaining crystals to Yi Shuihan, but was stopped.

"Hehe, little girl, it's dangerous to be with me. You'd better put away the spar. You'll pay for all my expenses here. When I think we can terminate our employment relationship, I will give you another piece." Crystals of the same volume in return."

"Oh my god?" Sasha was stunned, pouted and confessed honestly: "Actually, Sasha has taken advantage of it. Usually, only 12.00% of this spar can hire our excellent reformer for a month. As you promised Calculated by the two pieces of Sky Crystal, the lowest, I mean the lowest! You can hire me for a year and a half!"

Yi Shuihan didn't want to continue arguing on this issue, so he smiled and said he didn't care, and then asked: "Why don't the people in this city settle in the meteor crater?"

Sasha stroked her hair and said, "We are reformers! The meteor crater is where wealthy aliens live, and it's not safe there. Sometimes it's even scarier than the sea of ​​sand. To be honest, there's nothing wrong with this devil star It’s safe. Transformers were once incompatible with human society. Our ancestors fled here and multiplied for countless generations. Some powerful transformants can walk alone in the sea of ​​sand! Salsa will reach that level in the future, and even collect Enough mirage beasts went to the merchant in the crater to exchange for long-distance boat tickets. I heard from my uncle that my grandfather’s grandfather once boarded the long-distance spaceship, but he didn’t come back here to pick up his family. The conditions of the devil star are too difficult. I heard that the treatment of outsiders has been improved, and some humans have even deliberately transformed themselves."

Yi Shuihan asked again: "Is there any special area to the south of this stone city and the meteor crater?"

After thinking for a while, Sasha replied: "At the beginning of the year, there will always be a red light soaring into the sky, and I don't know what it is. I heard from the old people that treasure hunters came to this planet a long time ago to find out what happened. There is no return, and the reformers don’t like to touch that area, because there is a kind of steel shark growing in the area that emits red light. It is very powerful. The hard spines on its mouth are more than three meters long. It is said that the steel shark there has a long lifespan. It's extremely long, and there are even more powerful characters hidden in the depths of the sand sea. The merchants living in the crater racked their brains and couldn't figure out what the red light was. Maybe it was a supernatural phenomenon of the gathering of steel sandfish. Anyway, There are many rumors about that red light.

"Oh? This is a clue, can you take me there?"

"Big brother, I can see that you are an adventurer from an alien planet. Maybe you have outstanding abilities, but Sasha advises you not to go. There are many dangerous lands in the sand sea, and it is not easy to deal with. Let's analyze you according to the rumors. The risk factor of the place to go is at the forefront.”

Yi Shuihan nodded, thanked him, and walked towards the only hotel in the city. If there is a place in this world that he dare not go to, then others will be far behind.

The signboard of the hotel was tattered, and it could be vaguely recognized that it was an old neon light. However, it was full of holes from the wind and sand, and it was crumbling and showing some light, indicating that it was still in business.

Salsa negotiated generously with the hotel owner, and finally exchanged 25 mirage coins for a clean and superior room.

At night, the temperature dropped suddenly, and the hotel became lively, with people coming and going, and almost the residents of the entire small town gathered here.

The hotel is also running a bar business. The most famous here is Immortal Wine. The raw material is a kind of poisonous cactus produced in the sandy land nine hundred miles east of the city. The hard thorns will flow out poisonous water. After the poisonous water is drained, the pulp in the body is stored, and then after fermentation and distillation, it finally becomes a wine. , so the hotel's night business is very good, so good that they often fight over the configuration of a glass of wine.

The resources in the desert are too limited, including this unique cactus for wine making, so the hotel has issued a credit allocation. Those who have been in arrears for wine three times will naturally have no chance to drink, and those with average economic conditions will definitely not be able to drink to their fullest. Only the whole city The number one player, Erics, has the opportunity to drink enough. This player usually gives up the three cup quota and asks everyone to fight for it. The owner of the hotel does not stop it, but the tables, chairs and benches are injured. All compensation by Erics, and the value is not cheap.

"Hey, Crazy Eli, why haven't I seen you for a month?" When a burly man entered the hotel, all the drinkers around exchanged greetings.

"Haha, of course, I, Eli, will always be the craziest person in Xueyue City. This time I have a big harvest." After speaking, he glanced around mysteriously, and finally his eyes fell on the table at the innermost position, a little stunned, The striding meteor rushed over.

"Madman, you're back." Sasha seemed to be familiar with this big man.

"Sasha, I'm sorry, I came back late. I just heard that your uncle was half a month ago..." At this point, Eli tilted his head and let out a heavy "ah", not as happy as when he came in.

"Which one of our reformers in Xueyue City lives with his head pinned to his trouser belt. Uncle kept the weapon, and I will use it." Sasha's tone was very firm, and Yi Shuihan sat next to her and tasted it. Immortal Wine, secretly praised this delicate girl for being strong.

Eri's complexion is dark, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Yi Shuihan has already noticed that this person is full of explosive power, and his muscle elasticity is a bit too good, even surpassing most martial arts monks.

"I wanted to comfort you, but I didn't expect the little girl to comfort me instead." Eli's voice was loud, like a bell, shaking the table.

Sasha smiled and asked in a low voice, "Eri, what spoils did you get this month? I remember that there were two times before. You were so proud when you entered the hotel."

"It's a great harvest this time, don't be envious later." Eli turned his head and pouted at Yi Shuihan who was drinking by himself, meaning to ask who it was.

Sasha muttered a few words in a low voice, and Eli took a few glances. The passenger who came from the sand sea alone, and his body was spotless, as the number one expert in the city of Luyue, his knowledge was not comparable to that of a little girl. , I suspect that it is a powerful businessman who came out of the crater, and the so-called powerful businessman is actually a low-ranking martial artist.

"Okay, it's time to open your eyes, everyone, come here, let you have a look at my lunatic's achievements."

Upon hearing this, all the people around gathered together, and Yi Shuihan's most unobtrusive table was favored on the contrary.

Eli picked up the animal leather case from under his feet. It was a poorly crafted package, covered with grease, and even disgusting to Yi Shuihan, but Eli's eyes were shining like a bride, Uncover gently.

"How about it, eleven beast cores, twenty intact mirage beast hearts, and look at these animal fats, all of them are of the highest quality."

There was a sound of horror around, and everyone including Sasha took a few breaths of air-conditioning, and they really couldn't digest the shock.

"Hehe, the record is not bad. Boss, I invite everyone to have a glass of immortal wine today." Eli looked at everyone proudly, his eyes full of arrogance.

It is said that the wealth is not revealed, but the reformers in Xueyue City are all from the same ancestors. The long-term life in the sand and sea made them very united. Everyone has a kind heart. Besides, Eli has always been crazy and is very confident in his own strength. , so I am used to showing off in the city.

Yi Shuihan glanced at it. The animal core looked like a jujube core. It was dark black and small in size. Eleven of them could be easily held in the palm of the hand. The heart of the mirage beast was not too big either. It was half a fist, the only one worthy of praise The place is the constriction of the blood vessels, as if they are still alive, sparking hope to pulsate again in the specific environment.As for the animal fat, there is nothing unusual about it, only the color is lovely, fine yellow, somewhat like a cake.

The people present may be very greedy, but they didn't dare to snatch them, and Yi Shuihan didn't take these things to heart, but there was something suddenly shot, and the reformers watching from the outside hardly understood what was going on, and found that there was something on the Eri package. All the good things in the hotel were looted, it was just a flickering light and shadow in the hotel, it was too bizarre.

Eli was taken aback, and shouted: "Thief, return my treasure."

Sasha was the closest, but she could see clearly what was going on, but she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

Yi Shuihan was angry, because he didn't know when the emerald green crystal pestle he was carrying around his waist cracked again, and his fat body recovered a little, and it was it who robbed him.

"Wuuuu, Fatty needs it." An unreal mental ripple came, and after that, the guy shrank into the green crystal pestle, and had no intention of coming out to meet people at all.

Eli was irritated, it was his painstaking effort that almost died outside for a month, and it was just gone, which was more uncomfortable than killing him.In a hurry, he grabbed Yi Shuihan's neck and shouted: "Hurry up, give it back to me quickly, or I will throw you into the school of Honggangsha fish."

It's not that Yi Shuihan was caught so easily, the main reason is that he didn't care, the hateful fat man swallowed other people's things without permission, how did this happen?Even if it is necessary for evolution now, it has to be added up slowly. How will this situation end now?

"Don't get excited, let's sit down and talk slowly, and I will make compensation." Yi Shuihan tried his best to speak nicely.

"Damn, you pay? Where did you hide those things? Spit them out quickly." Eri's face was livid, and his big hand almost cut off Yi Shuihan's neck. The force is definitely not something ordinary people can bear However, no one noticed this unusual detail.

"I really can't take out those things anymore, but I can exchange them with items of equivalent value."

"What? Can't get it out? Just now I saw a shadow in your clothes swallowing my baby. Don't you try to lie to me." Eli's eyes were red, and he almost lost his mind. Shui Han was picked up.

Sasha finally realized that she was a bodyguard, and she really didn't expect such a thing to happen between her employer and the city's top expert. The creed she had cultivated over the years worked, she rushed forward without thinking much, and was about to save her employer.The folding cross knife on the back started violently, causing a wave of knife wind to go straight away.

As soon as Eli picked up Yi Shuihan, he found that little girl Shasha beside him launched an attack. A thought flashed in his mind, and then he realized that it was her employer who picked up Yi Shuihan, in order to reform the rules of people. To defend her interests, this knife is unavoidable. I can only hope that the muscles are strong enough. However, regardless of Sasha's pocket size, her strength is obvious to all reformers in the city.

The saber air is too fast, there is no chance for people to breathe, someone is faster, so fast that it cannot be calculated logically, as if appearing out of thin air, breaking into the blade abruptly, and gently grasping the death blade in his hand, like grasping a knife children's toys.

Shocked, Sasha was stunned, and Eli was even more confused. Why did the thief in his hand who wanted to fly out appear in front of the death blade and save his life?

"I'm really sorry, I didn't take those things away on purpose. At worst, you tell me what the mirage beast looks like, and I'll help you get back the corresponding items." Yi Shuihan said sincerely, but whether the people around listened to it was unclear. unknowable.

"You? How did you do it?" Eli was almost cross-eyed, staring at Sasha's cross-knife iron hand.

"It depends on the coordination of strength and speed. In fact, you can also do it." Yi Shuihan told the truth, but even if Eli has that physique, it is not easy to simply grab a weapon. Comprehension and further training.

"I'm not as skilled as others, so you can do whatever you want." Eli recognized the fact, but became disheartened. Just because of the less than a second just now, he had realized that the young man in front of him was higher than himself. In other words, the two are not at the same level at all.

"Big brother, you are so powerful. Sasha can only be a tour guide with you." The reincarnated girl worships heroes very much, and being able to save Eli means that Yi Shuihan has superb strength.

Sasha put the knife behind her back, pushed the dumb Eli, and apologized softly. After all, she is a fellow villager. Although sometimes there are casualties in conflicts for the interests of the employer, but as a bodyguard, it is very helpless.

Eli shook his head, saying that what Sasha did was normal and reasonable, and he didn't mind.

"Okay, Eri, I will give you a satisfactory solution, Sasha, do you know where there are mirage beasts nearby?"

"Mirage beasts are haunted. If you want to hunt them, you'd better go to the southern edge of the crater. Some mirage beasts often come to the crater. Those wealthy businessmen have opened up hunting grounds, but it's a private territory, and outsiders are absolutely not allowed to set foot there. So you can only look for them outside the hunting grounds."

Yi Shuihan took out more than [-] pieces of energy crystals, all of which were of the highest quality, and gave them to Eli, saying: "You take these first, and I will pay you in advance. When I come back, I will return double the items you took away." .”

Although reformers have some abilities, they are very different from martial monks. In Yi Shuihan's eyes, they are no different from ordinary people. It is shameful for Yi Shuihan to take possession of Eli's things, and it is his blood and sweat.

Eli pushed the energy spar back and said, "I won't take this thing, as long as you promise me one thing, you don't need to return what you took."

"Tell me." Yi Shuihan was curious about what Eli would ask for...
