Chapter 379 Boss Yang in the Ice and Snow Town
This is a small town made of ice and snow.
It is called a town, but it is actually only a street less than 100 meters long.
On both sides of the street are either taverns or brothels.
After all, for these sea-hunters who make a living in harsh environments all year round, only alcohol and women can make them feel relaxed.
Such a strong demand naturally makes some people see business opportunities.
So despite the extremely harsh environment, driven by money, people still come here every year with women and strong liquor to do business.
These people will not disperse until the polar night comes.
Therefore, this town does not even have a name, and sea-hunters call it a happy nest.
At this moment.
In the largest tavern in this town, many sea-hunters are already drunk, but they are still pouring wine into their mouths.
That scene seems to be trying to drink themselves to death.
At this time, the cold wind is howling outside, and the temperature has dropped to the extreme, but the tavern is surprisingly warm.
It's just that the stench of the sea-hunters' bodies that have not been washed for years, mixed with the strong smell of alcohol, is enough to make anyone who just came in from outside frown.
The owner of the tavern sat behind the counter with a smile, as if this dirty air was the most fragrant smell in the world, and he was so happy that he couldn't open his eyes.
The tavern owner has a big belly that is rare here, and his chubby face looks very rich, but if you look down on him for this, you will be asking for trouble.
After all, no one who can open a shop and do business in such a place is a good person.
Otherwise, he would have been chewed to pieces by others.
Looking at the almost full tavern at this time, the owner was thinking in his heart whether he should recruit some women to be bartenders.
This can stimulate consumption, and secondly, the sea-hunters after drinking will definitely look for women, so that he can make more money.
But it's probably too late this year, so wait until next year!
He must recruit some women next year anyway.
Just when the boss was thinking about how to expand the scale of his business, the thick door curtain was suddenly opened.
The cold wind that had been lingering outside for a long time took advantage of the opportunity to enter, and instantly sobered up most of the sea-hunters who were closer to the door.
"Damn, where did it come from..."
Some people opened their mouths to curse, but after seeing the appearance of the person who came in clearly, they swallowed the rest of the words.
It's not that the person who came in was so fierce.
On the contrary, the two people who came in were both good-looking.
Especially the young man walking behind, who was so clean and handsome that even the most popular girl in the town was ashamed of himself.
But it was precisely because of this that these sea-hunters dared not act rashly.
The reason was very simple.
Being able to come to the Wuwang Sea in this icy and snowy place was enough to prove their strength.
In addition, the cleanliness that seemed out of tune with the surrounding environment further proved that the strength of this young man was extraordinary.
Because in order to maintain this state, you must have strong strength.
Otherwise, do you think these seafarers don't want to live a decent life?
It's really because the conditions and strength don't allow it!
Just when these seafarers were silent, the tavern owner's face changed.
Because he recognized the man walking in front.
Didn't he come here last year? Why is he here again this year?
And what's the matter with this young man behind who is hard to see through?
These thoughts flashed through his mind, but soon his face was full of smiles, and then he stood up and said with his hands clasped.
"Hero Liu!"
Jing Rou did not use her real name when she was here, but used a pseudonym.
This is also the usual practice of people here.
"Manager Yang, this year's business is better than last year!" Jing Rou laughed.
"TOEFL TOEFL, just to make a living." Yang Zhan said with a smile.
As he said that, Yang Zhan took out a wine jar from under the counter and poured a glass for Jing Rou and Zhao Ya respectively.
"Authentic Shaodaozi, drink some to warm yourself up."
When he picked up the bowl, he saw that the wine in the bowl was clear and strong.
After drinking it in one gulp, it was like swallowing a mouthful of charcoal, going down from the throat all the way to the stomach, and after a shiver, the coldness on the body was instantly dispelled.
Even Zhao Ya had to admit that in such a place, the soft yellow wine was useless, and only this kind of strong wine was enjoyable.
Yang Zhan watched with a smile.
After Zhao Ya and Jing Rou finished the wine in the bowl, he said, "Did Liu come here for the miracle creature again this time?"
"Yes, this is one of my junior brothers. He is very curious about the miracle creature, so he came to see it."
Jing Rou looked around the seafarers in the tavern, but didn't see a familiar face, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Although it is very dangerous to make a living by the sea on the Wuwang Sea, you can be killed by the cold or an accident if you are not careful.
Besides, after making enough money, many people will choose to quit.
But it's not so bad that I can't even see a familiar person.
As if he noticed Jing Rou's surprise, Yang Zhan sighed slightly.
"Master Liu is looking for the old boss's people."
"Yes."
"Don't look for them, they are all dead."
"Dead? How did they die?" Jing Rou was shocked.
Yang Zhan sighed, "This happened a month ago. At that time, the old boss was leading his team to catch fish at the seaside. Unexpectedly, a thick fog suddenly appeared at the seaside. When the fog dissipated, people only saw bloodstains and pieces of clothes left on the ground. As for the old boss and his men, they were gone, but they must have met with an accident."
After hearing what Yang Zhan said, Jing Rou was stunned.
He was very shocked. After all, the old boss had been making a living at the seaside of Wuwang Sea for decades and had never had any accidents. How could he suddenly disappear without a trace?
At this moment, Zhao Ya suddenly asked, "Is it common for this kind of fog to suddenly invade the seaside?"
"It is extremely rare, so people say that this is the old boss's life that the Dragon King wants. After all, he has lived his whole life relying on the output of Wuwang Sea. It is a good death for him to die in Wuwang Sea in the end. It's just a pity for the strong men under his command." Yang Zhan said.
Zhao Ya seemed to be thinking.
At this time, Yang Zhan smiled at Jing Rou, "But if you, Mr. Liu, want to buy Miracle Creation, I can help you make a connection."
"Who?" Jing Rou said in a deep voice.
"Kong Xiangdong!"
"Crazy Kong?" Jing Rou murmured in a low voice, with a strange expression on her face.
"That's right, but Mr. Liu, don't worry, this leader Kong has a good relationship with me, and he is not as cruel as the rumors say that he can't communicate."
"So if Mr. Liu trusts me, I can help you make a connection."
After listening to Yang Zhan's words, Jing Rou did not respond immediately, but turned to look at Zhao Ya.
Zhao Ya smiled slightly, "Okay, in that case, then trouble Manager Yang!"
"No trouble, what's the trouble." Yang Zhan laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared.
There are naturally hotels in the town, but the prices are very expensive, so except for merchants who come here to buy dried fish and other items, ordinary people are reluctant to stay.
Zhao Ya and Jing Rou certainly didn't care about this little money. After confirming the next meeting time with Yang Zhan, the two of them walked out of the tavern.
The strong wind outside stopped at some point, and the sky was rarely filled with stars.
Looking far away, there was a red glow in the distant sky.
Jing Rou introduced: "That is the sun that has not completely set. When it is the polar night, even when it is sunrise, it will be like this. By then, the temperature here will be unimaginably low. Not to mention opening the meridians, even the masters of the Yuanhai realm can't survive here for a long time."
"The Wuwang Sea at that time is the real white hell!"
Zhao Ya didn't speak, but walked slowly along the street.
There was a faint sound of playfulness in the brothel on the side of the road. The fish oil lamp hanging in front of the door exuded a hazy glow, which set off this lonely town like a dream.
But at this moment, Zhao Ya suddenly bent his finger and ejected an iron bullet directly into the darkness.
A shrill and short scream came from the darkness.
But the next moment, from every corner of the street, crossbow arrows rained down on Zhao Ya and Jing Rou.
Jing Rou was shocked.
"What's going on? Who is ambushing?"
He really couldn't figure out who was ambushing him.
After all, he and Zhao Ya had just arrived in this town.
Could it be that smiling tavern owner Yang Zhan?
Zhao Ya was not panicked at all. He waved his hands, and the strong palm wind instantly blew away the attacking crossbow arrows.
Then he rushed to the dark corner in one step, but there was nothing except a pool of blood on the ground.
At this time, Jing Rou also rushed over and asked unkindly: "What's going on?"
"My attack has killed this person, but his body was still taken away by someone."
"What about the other places?"
"No need to go, there is no one there. These people did not hesitate at all after shooting the arrows and ran away directly." Zhao Ya said lightly.
Jing Rou's face was uncertain.
Because he didn't know who did it.
The most important thing is that the opponent had sneaked up to such a close distance and shot arrows, but he didn't notice it at all.
Could it be that his alertness as a warrior was also frozen with this extreme cold?
"It's some kind of secret method!" Zhao Ya suddenly said.
"Huh?"
"The reason why they can conceal their own breath so perfectly is because they used some kind of secret method!"
Zhao Ya squatted down and observed the frozen blood on the ground. A strong curiosity appeared on his face, just like a child seeing a new toy.
"There is no trace of medicine, so how did this secret method do it?" Zhao Ya whispered softly.
Jing Rou's face also became serious, "Who could have done it?"
Zhao Ya shook his head, "I don't know, but there is someone who should know."
He turned around and looked at the tavern.
A moment later, the furious Jing Rou took the lead and rushed directly into the tavern.
Unexpectedly, the tavern owner Yang Zhan seemed to have anticipated their return, and even the smile on his face did not change.
"Master Liu, please be patient, I know what you want to ask, please listen to me next."
Jing Rou calmed down after hearing this, staring at Yang Zhan with a bad look, wanting to see what this person was going to say before making a decision.
"First of all, I want to congratulate you two for passing the test, because the group of people who just attacked you are the subordinates of Chief Kong!"
"Kong's men?" Jing Rou became even angrier.
"That's right, Chief Kong has a habit. If you want to deal with him, you must see if you are qualified. Only when your strength meets the standard, he is willing to talk to you! And the two of you were able to survive the siege and sneak attack by the crossbowmen just now, which in itself has proved your strength!" Yang Zhan explained with a smile.
Jing Rou was furious, "What if we are careless for a moment?"
"Then you can only blame your lack of strength and bad luck!" Yang Zhan said lightly.
Zhao Ya suddenly said: "So when we were talking to you in the tavern just now, the news had already spread, right?"
"Yes!" Yang Zhan nodded without hesitation.
"Hero Liu, there is no need to be so angry. Chief Kong was very satisfied with your performance just now. He has sent a message and will meet you tomorrow afternoon."
Jing Rou also calmed down at this time.
In such a place, no matter how powerful you are, it is difficult to fight these local snakes. In addition, he still needs this Yang Zhan, so he can only swallow the anger in his chest and nodded.
"Okay! I'll wait for him!"
After saying that, he was about to leave.
At this moment, Zhao Ya suddenly said, "Boss Yang, the bowl of Shao Dao Zi just now impressed me deeply, so can you sell me a jar? I'll have a drink in the hotel tonight."
Yang Zhan glanced at Zhao Ya and saw that he looked calm. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay!"
Finally, Zhao Ya walked out of the tavern with a jar of wine.
Although Jing Rou felt a little strange, she didn't say much.
This time there were no more accidents. They arrived at a hotel smoothly and stayed there.
This hotel was also built with ice blocks, but the difference was that the walls inside were inlaid with a layer of wood, and the floor was covered with thick carpets. In addition, there was a blazing stove, so the temperature in the room was very high.
Jing Rou was exhausted from the journey, and she lay directly on the bed after arriving in the room.
Zhao Ya sat at the table, opened the lid of the jar, poured out a bowl and tasted it quietly.
Looking at his actions, Jing Rou couldn't help her inner curiosity and asked.
"Xiao Ya, what are you doing? Is there something wrong with this wine?"
"I have some doubts, so I have to try it!"
Jing Rou did not lie down when she heard this, she turned over and sat up, and also came to the table.
"But just now we drank a bowl each in the tavern, and nothing happened!"
"This Boss Yang is not stupid, how could he do such a stupid thing as poisoning the wine." Zhao Ya said.
Jing Rou was completely confused now.
One moment he said there was something wrong with the wine, and the next moment he said Yang Zhan would not do such a stupid thing, what exactly does this mean?
As if sensing Jing Rou's confusion, Zhao Ya looked up and smiled at him.
"I said there was something wrong with the wine, not that it was poisonous, what if there was something else in it? For example...something that can make the secret method effective?"
