Chapter 130 The map is in hand
After taking the gold, Simon quickly took a bite and looked at the tooth marks on it and said happily, regardless of whether it was clean or not.
“Thousands of kilometers away from Dongzhou Port, there is a large island hidden in the fog. It is said to be cursed. Any ship entering the fog will lose its way, and no one can leave, and There will also be dangers on the periphery, and from time to time a huge head like a mountain will poke out of the water and devour passing cargo ships."
"For thousands of years, countless cargo ships have disappeared in that area. In the sea, all those who die will be cursed, and their souls cannot rest in peace. They are trapped there and become water ghosts. They climb onto the cargo ship in the middle of the night to look for the scapegoat. "
"Isn't it just a head as big as a mountain? Is that the tortoise-like monster you are talking about whose cultivation is as high as the sky?"
Chen Shicheng frowned and asked, "In that case, how did you come out alive? I'm afraid you heard a legend somewhere to cheat money. Right?"
"How can you doubt my credibility!" Simon said angrily, "The cargo ship I was traveling on strayed into that area and sailed aimlessly for half a month. , and then I encountered that huge head sticking out of the sea and swallowing the cargo ship I was on. Hundreds of sailors were killed and injured. I can guarantee that it was a turtle-like monster. "
< br>After saying that, his expression changed, he took out a sheepskin scroll from his body, and said flatteringly, "It was also because of the huge waves caused by that head that I escaped to heaven, and I was able to land ashore with a secret treasure. This is the map I drew afterwards. It marked the location where the turtle head appeared. Now you only need to spend a little more money to buy this map. You see."
He is indeed a profiteer. !
First reveal some small information to make people take the bait, then tell them how difficult it was for them to escape, and finally the lion opens his mouth!
"Let me take a look at the map first!" Chen Shicheng stretched out his hand to grab the map.
“That’s not possible. You pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand.” Simon quickly put away the scroll vigilantly.
"Tell me, how much does this scroll cost?"
"As expected, it only costs 500 taels of gold." Simon said with a greedy look.
Chen Shicheng's face couldn't help but twitch. At this price, converted into RMB, you can buy a two-bedroom apartment with one living room in real Shanghai. Why are you licking your face and saying it's not expensive?
“This price.”
“This price is absolutely worth it.” Simon quickly persuaded, “Sir, think about it, as long as you have this map, no matter what you want, Whether you find the turtle monster or avoid it and set foot on the big island, there must be treasure on such a mysterious island. 500 taels of gold is definitely a profitable deal."
Chen Shicheng heard this. I sneered in my heart, this profiteer only mentioned the benefits, but didn't say a word about the dangers.
How can that island be accessible just by talking about it? Not mentioning the surrounding fog and giant turtles, just mentioning the sailors who have died there for countless years and turned into water ghosts, can make ordinary people lose their lives, even monks. , will also be in a hurry, and without any means, it will inevitably lead to death but not life.
This guy is probably trying to trick himself into dying, and then sell the information to others!
"How can I be sure that your map is authentic? What if you are lying to me?" Chen Shicheng thought for a while and asked in a suspicious tone.
"You can absolutely rest assured that for this kind of order involving a large amount of money, I can provide the blood contract for free, and it will definitely not be fake."
Simon saw Chen Shicheng being a little moved, He quickly took out another sheepskin scroll from his body.
[Blood Contract: Both parties sign a contract with essence and blood as ink. The party that violates the contract will suffer real damage that cannot be exempted. In the lighter case, all cultivation will be lost, and in the worst case, the soul will be scattered. 】
This profiteer really has something good in him!
Chen Shicheng remained calm and glanced back and forth at Simon's stall, then shook his head and said, "Do you only have these rags here? This makes me doubt the authenticity of your map and blood contract. "
"There is something else!" Upon hearing Chen Shicheng questioning himself, Simon quickly took out two more items from his body, a ruby and a respirator in order to facilitate the deal?
“Look, this is the blood magic stone, which can be embedded in equipment. The price is 70 gold.”
“This is the latest alchemy equipment produced by goblins. , can breathe freely underwater like a fish, and the price is 100 gold. This is unique equipment to us, it is not common in your country, and the price is definitely not expensive!”
"It's just so so."
Looking at the two pieces of Western-style equipment, Chen Shicheng knew that this profiteer must have something good to offer, but his main target was still the map, and the others were just incidental. It's not good to keep pestering him, otherwise it will be bad if the other party becomes suspicious.
"Give me the map, and sign the blood contract by the way. Our deal will be completed." Chen Shicheng said nonchalantly.
Hearing this, Simon was overjoyed and hurriedly took out the map and blood contract.
But the moment the map appeared, Chen Shicheng grabbed the thing in his hand at an extremely fast speed, followed by eight steps to catch the cicada, and disappeared at the end of the alley.
“.”
Simon was startled by this sudden situation. He looked at his empty palm blankly. It took him a while to react, and then he became sharp and desolate. The shouts resounded throughout most of Dongzhou Port.
“Someone is coming, robbery, I won’t live!”
At this moment, no matter how loud Simon shouted, it was of no use, Chen Shicheng had already run out of the end of his sight, coming Arriving at a deserted corner.
This incident is very serious. The soldiers at Dongzhou Port are very angry. Someone dares to rob here openly. They simply don’t take them seriously. This is Chi Guoguo’s contempt!
Because of being slapped in the face, the patrolling guards burst out with incomparable enthusiasm. In just a matter of seconds, a wanted order was issued.
Countless patrol soldiers holding torches and holding weapons were running quickly through the city lanes. The leader was holding a wanted poster, comparing every pedestrian who stayed out at night.
From quite a distance away, Chen Shicheng used his superhuman vision to see clearly the portrait on the wanted poster. It was exactly the rugged man he had transformed into at this moment.
But what’s the use?
He calmly used the relic to change his appearance, and also changed into a pair of coarse linen clothes, no different from ordinary passers-by. Then he deliberately walked around the patrolling soldiers a few times, pretending to be a coincidence. passing by.
As a result, the patrolling soldiers just checked the wanted poster and immediately turned around and ran away, ignoring him at all.
Seeing this, Chen Shicheng couldn't help but become more and more satisfied with the "kaleidoscopic" relic.
Although there is no enhancement in combat effectiveness, the mask's ability is not very effective at certain times. It can be called a must-have artifact for killing people and stealing goods!
