Chapter 3188: Encountering Thieves

Chapter 3188 Encountering thieves

When they heard that Ding Hao and Dongcheng Ling were both rune mages, the villagers in the small fishing village became excited.

In their view, the Rune Master was a superior figure. Originally, these villagers only admired Ding Hao and the others, but now it has been elevated to worship, and they looked at the two people with different eyes.

Ding Hao and Dongcheng Ling were quite satisfied with this reaction. They came to a new world. If they could get the worship of the villagers, it would be more convenient to do anything.

At the moment, Dongcheng Ling continues to stay in the small village and learn the Tianwaitian runes.

Ding Hao followed the caravan and headed to the town to sell items.

This world also has storage devices, but items containing runes cannot be put into storage bags. Therefore, the items they sell require large and small vehicles to transport, and a long fleet consists of more than a dozen vehicles.

On the largest vehicle in the middle was transported a very complete white skeleton of a huge saw-toothed fish beast.

This huge skeleton is tens of meters long and three stories high. It was transported in a special cart; all the fish meat and skin on the surface of the skeleton have been cut off, leaving only a skeleton as white as jade. This is Necessary for refining certain precious treasures.

This complete skeleton is also the most precious item they transported to the town this time. After selling it, everyone in the small fishing village can get a good income.

The bones are very hard. Ding Hao sat on the top of the fish skull and followed the caravan, looking at the city in the distance.

This was his first time coming to a city in the world of Tianwaitian. He wanted to see what was for sale here. He also thought about buying some cultivation items he wanted. He was quite excited about the upcoming sales and shopping trip. To look forward to.

But when the city in the distance was approaching, the convoy suddenly stopped.

More than a dozen escaping lights rushed from all directions. When the escaping lights turned into runes, they disappeared immediately, and a dozen figures blocked their path.

Half of these dozen figures are like Tian Sheng, with black runes carved on their bodies, which are rune flesh armors; the other dozen figures are wearing rune armors, but these rune armors are obviously better than those of the villagers. The rune armor they are wearing is much more high-end!

The rune armors worn by the villagers were all uniformly black and looked like a waistcoat, which looked very unsightly. However, the rune armors worn by these people were made of soft metal materials that reflected silver light. The clothes look shiny.

"No, the thieves blocking the road are here again!" The villagers in the caravan were a little confused.

These thieves who block the road make a living by robbing, and all passing caravans are exploited by them. When they are in a good mood, they can pass by paying some tolls; when they are in a bad mood, they can even massacre the entire caravan together. Loot all the property!

"Where's Mr. Tian?" The leader among the dozen figures is a tall man wearing rune-based armor. A long knife engraved with strange runes in his hand looks very powerful and powerful. It’s scary, there isn’t even a weapon of this level in this small fishing village.

"Tian Sheng, he..." When the villagers at the head of the caravan saw these people, they were so frightened that they trembled.

At this moment, the leader heard a man's voice coming from above his head, "Tian Sheng didn't come this time. I'm in charge here. What's the matter with you? Why are you blocking my way?"

"Is this person stupid?" A thief behind him wearing silver rune armor, holding a knife, snorted coldly, "He's a newcomer."

"Newcomer?" The leading thief looked up and saw a young man sitting tall on a huge fish head.

The villagers in the caravan quickly introduced, "This is Senior Ding Hao, the new strongest man in our village!"

"The new strongest person?" the leading thief sneered, "For every new person, we will give you a slap in the face! So the previous rules are not counted, and the passing agreement reached by Tian Sheng and us is also invalid! Today we are setting new rules!”

"Yeah?"

Ding Hao turned over and fell from the fish's head lightly.

The toes landed on the ground at a moment's notice, looking very light.

The leading thief's eyes were focused, he looked Zhao Yan up and down, and then sneered, "It seems that his methods are slightly better than Tian Sheng's, but it's a pity that you don't have a powerful enough rune weapon in your hand! Therefore, it is impossible for you to defeat him. Me, if you want to challenge us, you are seeking death. Young man, I advise you to be honest!"

"Okay, okay!" Ding Hao smiled and nodded, "What was the agreement Tian Sheng reached with you in the past? What kind of agreement do you want to reach with me today?"

"In the past, Tian Sheng asked us to charge one-tenth of the toll for our goods." The leading thief snorted coldly, "But for you, a newcomer, we will charge five times the toll today! That's where you are. Half of all the goods must be handed over to us!”

"What!" All the villagers present were dumbfounded.

In the past, paying one-tenth was already a lot, and everyone was deprived of a level out of thin air; but now it is too much, and half of it is taken away directly!

Then everyone transports the remaining goods to the town, and then is exploited by the rune mage and pays the town's taxes. Then there will really be very few left! It looked like a good harvest day at first, but now it seems that it is all joy in vain!

"You are a bit too powerful with your show of force!" Ding Hao mocked.

"It has to be a bit high!" The leading thief laughed with his subordinates, and then said, "In fact, how much toll is collected depends on my mood. If you kneel down and kowtow to me, maybe I will only charge you three levels when I am in a good mood!"

The thieves have an unwritten rule, that is, for the caravans escorting goods for the first time, they should double the tax to make these escorts completely submissive; this way, it will be easier to collect tolls in the future!

But just this time, they met Ding Hao.

Ding Hao said, "Actually, I came here today to give you a chance! If you return all the property you extorted from the fishing village caravan, I can still spare your life; but if you insist on not changing your ways, I will also give you a good warning!"

"Arrogant!" The leading thief sneered, "Young man, arrogant words will not have a good result! Now I am angry, so no one in your fishing village caravan can leave this time, leave the goods behind, and get out! Otherwise, I will be in a bad mood and will start a massacre!"

"What!" The villagers in the caravan all looked pale. They heard that these people wanted to take away all the goods, otherwise they would start a massacre. Everyone looked at Ding Hao in panic.

Ding Hao smiled coldly, "Then you will die!?"
