Chapter 312: Stinky Old Man



Zhu Dazhi and Zhu Zhuqing had both fought in dangerous places and had no sympathy for these passers-by. But Feng Xiaotian had never experienced this and still had kindness in his heart.

Han Yu did not give a clear answer, but left the choice to him, "Xiaotian, we can see the city from here, and it is only a day's journey away from the city at most. If these people come out of the city and realize that they have to cross the desert, they will definitely bring enough water."

"Moreover, they have been moving deeper into the desert and have no intention of returning to the city. I speculate that they are most likely fugitives from the city. Because they are in a hurry, they did not make any preparations before fleeing into the desert. Facing the situation where they will die if they return to the city, they might as well choose to go deeper into the desert. Once they find a water source, they at least have a glimmer of hope."

After a pause, he continued, "Of course, what I said was just a guess. As for whether it is true or not, I don't know. And these people are soul masters. It's up to you to decide whether to save them or not."

After saying that, Han Yu led his men to continue moving forward, but Feng Xiaotian just stood there stupidly.

If Han Yu's guess was correct, if he saved these wanted criminals, more people would be killed in the future. But if they were ordinary people, he would feel guilty if he didn't save them.

Han Yu had no intention of urging him. Feng Xiaotian needed to make his own decision. Moreover, he would also be responsible for his decision.

In the end, I don’t know what Feng Xiaotian was thinking, he chose to give up the rescue and followed the team.

"Your choice is wise." Han Yu smiled faintly and said, "There is a faint smell of blood on these guys. Even if they are not wanted criminals, they are not good people."

"Teacher, you had already seen it?" Feng Xiaotian asked in surprise.

Now the wind is in his favor, and his perception of the aura is not as obvious as when the wind is against him.

Han Yu nodded calmly, then pointed forward, "There is a shop not far ahead. You will find out after you go in and ask around."

Han Yu and his companions stopped in front of a shop called "Gutu".

A store opened in the desert is certainly extraordinary.

When Han Yu saw the name of the shop, he was very excited. The owner of the shop was the old gentleman he remembered.

Entering the store, the old interior furnishings are clearly visible.

This shop only has three simple counters. One counter sells water, one counter sells dried food, and the other counter is empty.

Han Yu looked around the hall for a moment and saw the owner of the shop.

This is a burly old man, but he possesses the strength of a Soul Emperor.

In a place like this, this kind of strength is definitely a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers can be found.

Unfortunately, after looking at the other person for a moment, Han Yu did not detect the existence of the seal on him.

Perhaps noticing Han Yu's gaze, the old man snorted coldly: "The food and water are clearly marked with prices. If you can afford it, buy it. If you can't, get out!"

"A bottle of water costs one gold soul coin, why don't you go and rob it, old man!" Zhu Dazhi said angrily.

The price of air-dried food was even more outrageous. A two-pound piece of beef jerky actually cost twenty gold soul coins. Compared to the prices of goods outside, the price of water was a hundred times more expensive, and the price of meat jerky was nearly fifty times more expensive.

Han Yu thought that this pricing was reasonable.

It's still half a day's journey from here to the city, and the old man's shipping costs are there.

"Since none of you have had good meals these days, I'll treat you today. Let's enjoy the meal." Han Yu waved his hand and threw an old-fashioned Gold Soul Card with a face value of ten thousand to the old man.

The old man took the Golden Soul Card, raised his head and looked at everyone, "You can eat as much food and water as you want here."

Then, he pointed at Han Yu and said, "You, follow me."

It is obviously impossible that such a generous expenditure was only used to buy food.

The empty shelves in the store are the third type of merchandise here - maps. The old man will personally entertain only those who can afford it.

A soul master with strong mental power can engrave a map in his mind just by looking at it. The old man would not be so stupid as to put the map on the counter for people to use for free.

"You guys eat first, I'll wait." After saying that, Han Yu followed the old man into a warehouse inside the store.

The old man got straight to the point and said, "Tell me, what kind of map do you need?"

Han Yu shook his head. The map the old man could provide might not be as detailed as the map provided by the Spirit Hall in his hand.

He came here for the fourth commodity here - intelligence! "Old sir, what's your name?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"No need to bother, Huang."

Han Yu said: "Mr. Huang, the map is useless to me. If you can provide the city of Falx and the distribution of surrounding forces, I can offer a high price."

The old man narrowed his eyes, crossed his arms over his chest, and snorted coldly, "Young man, you want to buy information? I advise you to leave as soon as possible. There are all kinds of people here. If you think you have some strength and can make a living here, there will definitely be your body on the street tomorrow morning."

Han Yu was not panicked.

He is invincible under the gods, and above the gods he can achieve a one-for-one exchange.

"Mr. Huang, this is none of your business. Life or death is all my own karma. If you are willing to provide information, I can certainly give you a satisfactory price."

It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. Although the old man couldn't sense Han Yu's specific soul power level, the other party's age was there, and his soul power level was at most a little higher than his.

After thinking for a while, he slowly stretched out two fingers, "Two million gold soul coins, or two high-level resources suitable for earth attribute cultivation."

Han Yu curled his lips and said, "If the old gentleman asks for too much, then we will have nothing to talk about. I believe that after we enter the city, I will offer a thousand gold soul coins, and there will be many people willing to talk."

If you go to the city to ask, you will be easily targeted. But here, there is obviously no such problem.

Han Yu is not a sucker. He will not buy something that is worth more than the money.

The old man "chopped" himself, "Five hundred thousand gold soul coins, or a resource of intermediate or higher level suitable for earth attribute cultivation."

Han Yu did not accept it. He took out a stone from his soul guide and said, "This is a mountain-shaking stone, worth about 20,000 gold soul coins. It is considered an intermediate resource for earth attribute cultivation. This is the maximum price I can offer. If the old gentleman disagrees, the transaction will be cancelled."

The old man did not express his opinion, but asked: "Tell me, what do you want to know? I will only answer two questions for you, and I will tell you everything I can."

Han Yu placed the Mountain-shaking Stone on a shelf nearby and said, "The more detailed the distribution of forces in the city, the better. I need to know how to get along with those big forces."

Han Yu couldn't tell the old man about the investigation of Wuhun Bank. Even if he asked, the old man wouldn't answer, and it might alert the enemy! (End of this chapter)
