Chapter 433 Orc Market Survival Guide (4)
But it was all in vain. In an instant, a group of orc guards rushed out from all directions. They were tall and exuded a strong bloody smell.
These guards, holding animal bone spears, made the ground tremble slightly with every step they took. They approached the man quickly, vowing to capture him.
The man panicked and started hiding here and there. Wherever he went, stalls were knocked over and the goods were scattered all over the ground.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the sight of Xia Yueke and Bai Jinglan, leaving only chaos and terror in the air, as if a nightmare had just begun.
"Here, five dollars."
Bai Jinglan had already withdrawn his gaze and took out the ghost money on his body.
The old orc took the five dollars with obvious disappointment in his eyes. He also looked at the stall owner next door with murderous eyes!
Xia Yueke also came back to her senses. It seemed that ghost money was the currency here.
In that case, she would only have 70 yuan left, and Bai Jinglan would still have 100 yuan.
Bai Jinglan was already holding the steaming bread. He looked up at Xia Yueke and said, "Let's go."
Xia Yueke looked at the steaming hot bread. She didn't know why, but it looked scary in the vendor's hands just now. But after she bought it, its appearance changed completely and turned into normal whole wheat bread.
It's the kind that's just out of the oven.
Xia Yueke swallowed her saliva and smiled at Brother Bai in a fawning manner, "Brother Bai, this is such a big one, you definitely can't finish it, how about we each have half?"
There were four whole wheat breads stacked together, which looked bigger than Xia Yueke's palm. Xia Yueke felt that Bai Jinglan would not be able to finish it by himself.
Bai Jinglan raised his eyebrows, a cynical smirk on his face, a hint of teasing in his eyes, "Hey, who said I can't finish it? Don't underestimate a man's appetite, especially mine."
He deliberately emphasized the word "I" with a hint of arrogance, then raised the bread in front of his eyes and took a big bite, deliberately filling his mouth with it, with crumbs falling from the corners of his mouth, while he mumbled:
"Hmm~ It smells so good! Things you buy with your own money must be delicious. Some people can't bear to spend money, so they can only watch."
While chewing, he glanced at Xia Yueke with a look that seemed to be both provocative and teasing.
Seeing Xia Yueke's eager look, he sneered again, "You have such a plan, and you still want to share it with me? I went through so much trouble and fear to buy the bread with ghost money, why should I share it with you?" He patted Xia Yueke's shoulder, and the bread crumbs on his hand stained her clothes.
"How about this, you give me some benefits in exchange, otherwise, forget about this piece of bread."
After saying that, he took another big bite of bread and walked forward triumphantly, his shoulders swaying as he walked, and he exuded a ruffian-like, indifferent air.
Xia Yueke had no choice but to chase after him, "Brother Bai, how about I listen to you from now on? If you tell me to go east, I won't go west. If you tell me to hit the wall, I won't turn back! Just give me a piece of bread, okay?"
Bai Jinglan was amused by Xia Yueke's actions, "Okay, that's what you said. Brother Bai's brothers are not here this time, so Brother Bai will reluctantly accept you as his brother!"
Xia Yueke struggled internally, but in order to get a free lunch, she endured it. Besides, it seemed that Brother Bai had more experience than her, and maybe he could even lead her to victory.
"Boss Bai, what are we going to do next?"
Xia Yueke ate the bread given by Bai Jinglan and changed her mind so quickly.
Bai Jinglan frowned, "You should continue to call me Brother Bai. Boss Bai isn't used to hearing that lately."
"Okay, Brother Bai."
Xia Yuke swallowed the last bite of bread and felt full.
Unexpectedly, it was just a small piece of bread, but she felt like she had eaten a lot.
Suddenly, an eerie wind blew past, making the flags on the stalls rustle.
A vague female stall owner emerged from the darkness, her face hidden under a black hood, only her pale chin and cracked lips visible.
"You two, come and see my treasure. It's a bottle of sweet-smelling potion that can make you forget all your pain and troubles."
Her voice seemed to be squeezed out from her throat, with a hint of decay.
Forget your worries?
Xia Yueke understood. It seemed that this was the stall owner who sold amnesia potion.
Xia Yue clearly remembered one of the rules: "If a stall owner tries to sell you a mysterious sweet-smelling potion, absolutely refuse it. Drinking it will cause you to lose your memory."
Xia Yueke quickly shook her head, "Thank you, we don't need it."
Bai Jinglan also nodded, "We don't like your potions that can kill people. We might as well exchange them for some whole wheat bread."
Seeing this, the female stall owner let out a sharp laugh. "The bread in your hand is nothing in this market. My potion is truly priceless. Just ten ghost coins and you can take it away."
Xia Yueke subconsciously touched her pocket, remembering that she and Bai Jinglan didn't have much money to use.
Bai Jinglan snorted disdainfully, "Ten dollars? You're trying to rip us off. I wouldn't even want this trick of yours, even if it's given to me for free."
After saying that, he pulled Xia Yuke away.
The female stall owner was enraged. She suddenly took off her hood, revealing a face crawling with maggots, and screamed:
"You ungrateful people, you will regret it!"
As she screamed, the surrounding stalls began to shake violently, and some strange creatures crawled out from under the stalls and pounced towards them with their fangs and claws bared.
Bai Jinglan and Xia Yueke ran away, and the monsters chased them relentlessly.
Xia Yueke knew that these rules were not well-intentioned, and they asked them to refuse clearly. It turned out that after they refused, the stall owner would go crazy!
In a panic, Xia Yueke found a narrow passage ahead. Without thinking too much, the two rushed in.
The passage was filled with a pungent stench and the walls were flashing with strange fluorescent lights.
They moved forward cautiously when they suddenly heard painful groans coming from the front.
When I got closer, I saw that it was the player who was chased by the orc guards before. He was lying on the ground, his body covered with scars, and he was dying.
"Save...save me..." He stretched out his hand weakly, his eyes full of despair.
Xia Yueke felt pity and was about to reach out to help him, but Bai Jinglan stopped her, "Don't worry about him. Who knows if this is a trap? We are busy taking care of ourselves, so we don't have the time to worry about other people's lives."
"But... he looks really bad, and he probably can't hurt us, right?"
Bai Jinglan snorted coldly and threatened, "If you act like a saint again, blame me for being ruthless. From now on, you should act on your own. Brother Bai doesn't need a little brother who will hold you back like this!"
Xia Yueke withdrew her hand awkwardly and touched her nose. She knew that the situation was special and she couldn't show any love anymore. She quickly pretended not to see it. The two of them slowly walked out of the alley, and the female stall owner had disappeared.
Xia Yueke was sweating profusely from running. "I'm really impressed. What the hell is this all about every day? If this continues, I feel like I won't live long."
