Bone King's Universal Grocery

Chapter 196 Seven Heroes Inn
"Boss Li, something happened, something happened in the wasteland!" Lin Qiansheng from the Lin family's ancestral home hurriedly flew to the small courtyard where Li Hong and the others lived.

"What happened? Don't worry, speak slowly."

"It's like this. Boss Li officially launched an attack on the barren land yesterday with the army of the Tang Dynasty. The barren area has made preparations in advance and launched an attack relying on the favorable terrain. Now the entire barren area has been engulfed in flames of war. bingo."

"The war started so soon? I didn't expect that, but it's okay, we can start fishing in troubled waters earlier, Qiu'er, you go and inform Mingyue and the others to pack up our things and we are going to go to the wasteland."

"Boss, are Misha and Jixiang Ruyi going with us too? There is a lot of chaos in the barren land, and their cultivation base is relatively low. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go rashly."

"Qiu'er, how dangerous do you think war is? With the two of us here, are you afraid you won't be able to protect them?"

Qiu'er was taken aback when she heard the words, and then realized that her combat power was comparable to that of a fairyland, and with His Majesty by her side, it seemed that there was really no need to worry. Qiu'er stuck out her tongue embarrassingly, and turned to go to the inner courtyard.

At noon, Li Hong and his party took the Lin family's teleportation array to a small town at the edge of the wasteland.

The wasteland and the capital are separated by tens of millions of miles. It is already evening in the wasteland at this time, and the town looks extraordinarily quiet under the afterglow of the setting sun, like a dead city.

Li Hong manipulated his mental power to cover the entire town and found that most of the residents in the town were hiding underground, only a few merchants were still doing business in order to make a fortune from the war.

And among these merchants, there was an inn. There were only seven ordinary people in the inn, but they did not seek refuge underground, and still opened the door to welcome customers. This made Li Hong interested in them.

"Your Majesty, according to the map, we are still far away from the center of the wasteland. It is estimated that it will take about 10 days to fly there. Are we going to travel overnight tonight?"

"No hurry, I just found an interesting place, let's go there tonight."

"Interesting place? This kind of border town near the battlefield is full of people. How can there be any interesting places?" Mingyue asked beside him.

"I said yes, so come with me!" After speaking, Li Hong led the crowd towards the inn.

The town is not big, Li Hong and the others arrived in front of the inn after flying for about 1 minute.

Mingyue glanced up at the name of the inn, frowned and said, "Seven Heroes Inn? What a strange name, and the door is still closed? Is there anyone inside?"

"Of course, you go knock on the door and try."

Mingyue hesitated for a moment, but didn't go forward, she always felt that Li Hong seemed to be tricking her.

Seeing this, Li Hong walked to the door of the inn by himself, and knocked lightly on the door.

"Who is that?" A slightly trembling male voice in the inn asked.

"Staying here."

"Sorry, we're closed!" Another male voice resolutely refused.

"Who said it's closed, don't talk nonsense, how many guest officers are there! It's better to stay in the hotel at the top! We are... woo woo woo!" A woman asked.

Before the woman could finish her sentence, someone covered her mouth: "Shopkeeper, you are crazy! There is a war going on outside! If the one who comes is a soldier, we will all be finished!"

"Hey, all of you are timid. It's getting dark today, and soldiers have to camp and sleep. How can you come here?"

"Ahem, how many people! Can you open the door?" Li Hong at the door asked with a dry cough.

"No!" The six people inside replied in unison.

"Open!" Only the shopkeeper insisted on opening the door.

"Pfft~~" Mingyue couldn't help laughing: "Qiu'er, did you hear that? The people here are really interesting."

"What's so interesting? A shopkeeper who is greedy for money, and six fellows who are dragged down. I think they are quite pitiful."

"Why do you say that? We won't kill them."

"We won't. What if we actually encounter the army of the Tang Dynasty? His Majesty also said just now that they are ordinary people with no cultivation. If they really open the door, they will only have a dead end."

"Qiu'er, you are wrong. If you really met the army of the Tang Dynasty, you would have kicked the door open. How can there be so much nonsense?"

"It's you who's wrong, Mingyue, haven't you noticed? The doors of this small town have been sealed in advance, and they can only be opened from the inside. If you want to break through from the outside, you must at least return to the first realm. How can a weak chicken of level 1 to level 3 break through this door?"

"I'll go, I just found out that there is a seal on the door of this small town after you said that. The wasteland is too rich! Ordinary small towns can have this level of seal protection."

"I think so? The door of the inn is open!"

After Mingyue heard the words, she immediately turned her head and looked towards the inn, and found that the person who opened the door was a plainly dressed woman. The woman was about 30 years old, and she looked good, but she looked a little rustic.

"What are you guys doing? Come in quickly!" Li Hong shouted to them.

Only then did Ming Yue come back to her senses, and took Mi Xia's little hand into the inn.

Entering the inn, Mingyue found that the seven people in the inn were four men and three women. Except for the shopkeeper, everyone else looked nervous.

"Guest officer, where are you from? Where are you going?" The shopkeeper asked Li Hong tentatively as they sat down.

"We came from Liberty City, and we are going to the center of the wasteland."

Hearing Li Hong's answer, the shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and said to the guys, "I'll just say I'm not a soldier!"

The guys became a little more relaxed.

"Guest officer, there is a war in the center of the wasteland! I'm afraid it won't be a good time to pass?"

"We just want to take advantage of the war to make a fortune. If we don't fight the war, we can't pass it!"

"The guest officer is to make money? But I heard that Liberty City is not very rich? Why do you want to risk your life to make money?"

"The wealth of the Liberty City does not mean that we ordinary people are rich. Unlike you in the wasteland, you all say you are poor, but in fact you are very rich. Every household in a small town can use such a powerful seal."

Li Hong's words came to an abrupt end here, because he sensed that everyone in the inn, except for a boy dressed in coarse linen, had a change in their breathing rhythm.

However, the people in the inn quickly adjusted their emotions, and the breathing rhythm returned to the way it was just now. The shopkeeper's smile did not change at all, and his tone was still full of enthusiasm: "What is the guest talking about! We The seals here are uniformly distributed by the officials in the wasteland, and if you have money, you have to be rich in the government and the big shots above, and we small people who do business are the same as the guest officials, just earn a little money and barely make ends meet!"
