Chapter 3 Thorny Lizard (Revised)

Under Yan Zhou's guidance, Yan Zhengxiang drove the car to a nearby base station. When their car stopped, several muscular young men wearing black vests came over immediately.

The leader had an unshaven beard and a terrifying scar on his right cheek extending from his temple to the corner of his mouth.

Li Xiang leaned over and looked through the front windshield.

After a moment, his pupils widened and he lowered his voice to the shocked people in the car: "Scarface, the famous bounty hunter in the East District, is he the one who went to the northern no-man's land with us?!"

Jiang Ning just wanted to join in the fun out of curiosity, but the next moment Uncle Yan rolled down the window on Yan Zhou's side, and also rolled down the windows of Li Xiang and Jiang Ning's back seats.

Jiang Ning's head was resting on an empty space, and he stumbled a little.

Jiang Ning: "..."

Fortunately, everyone's attention was on Scarface, so no one saw it.

After the car window was lowered, Li Xiang saw Scarface's aggressive look and got a little scared. He asked hurriedly: "Uncle Yan, what are you doing? Why did you lower my window too?"

Uncle Yan turned around and said apologetically: "Did you get scared? I'm so sorry, this car was broken when I bought it. When the right window is opened, the whole thing will lower. There's nothing we can do about it. Li Xiang, just bear with me."

Li Xiang held his breath in his heart. After all, he was borrowing someone else's car, so it was not easy for him to say anything more.

Scarface had already walked to the front of their car. He put his arm on Yanzhou's window, lowered his body, and scanned the people sitting in the car. He said in a sinister tone: "Okay, Yanzhou, I've gathered all the old, weak, women and scholars for you."

"This is the person you found. It's not enough to fill the gaps between the teeth of the alien beasts." Scarface sneered.

He whistled at Jiang Ning, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Little sister, have your teeth grown in? Hahahaha."

Although Jiang Ning was thin, her face was still pretty.

She turned her head away and didn't look at the people.

Scarface felt bored and ignored her.

Scarface's sarcasm made everyone in the car look a little ugly. Yan Zhou said coldly: "Scarface, who I find has nothing to do with you, as long as it can ensure the smooth cooperation between our two areas."

"No, no, no, how can it have nothing to do with you." Scarface shook his head repeatedly, "The person you find directly determines how many exotic beasts we hunt. Look at these brothers I found, each one of them is strong and healthy. To be honest, we are at a disadvantage."

A bad feeling surged into his heart, and Yan Zhou looked at him with a bad tone: "What do you want to do?"

"To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that you have awakened an A-level superpower, the people from our two regions would never cooperate." Scarface counted: "After the deal is done, we will have six and you will have four. If you agree to our deal, then it's fine. Otherwise, our people from the East Region will return the same way. How about that?"

"..."

Everyone in the car had a sullen look on their faces. Scarface was clearly raising the price.

Yan Zhou also had a stern face. He was quickly analyzing the pros and cons of this matter in his mind.

In fact, even without the help of Scarface and the others, they could still have a good harvest this time, but he also planned to go deep into the area in the middle of the northern no-man's land to hunt higher-level monsters.

The market for low-level alien beasts is already saturated, and the price cuts are very severe. If you want to make more money, you can only try more risky methods.

Scarface and his friends have been in the uninhabited area in the north for many years, and they have much more experience than this group of people. With their help, they will naturally go to the next level.

Yan Zhou looked solemn, he raised his eyes and glanced at Scarface: "We need to communicate."

"Okay, I'll give you some time to communicate. Remember to come to me when you're done." Scarface grinned, and didn't force anyone to death, and turned back to his car.

After Scarface left, Yan Zhou turned around and looked at everyone.

"Everyone, you all saw what happened just now. If Scarface and his group want to continue cooperating with us, we can only split the profit 40% to 60%. What do you think?"

Yan Zhou didn't want to agree in his heart, otherwise he would have agreed directly just now.

But the people in the car obviously didn't realize this.

Aunt Li looked at the people around and said, "Why don't we split the profit 40% to 60%? After all, Scarface often hangs out in the polluted area, so we still have to rely on him..."

"If we cooperate with Scarface, we still have 40% of the profit. It's hard to say whether we can get that much if we just rely on a few of us to fight." Uncle Li also agreed.

Scarface's strength in the slums is obvious to all.

Yan Zhou fell into deep thought after listening to the suggestions of several people.

Yan Zhengxiang glanced at the co-pilot. Based on his familiarity with his son, he estimated that he was unwilling, so Yan Zhengxiang said: "Son, I will listen to you no matter what you think."

"I haven't thought about it yet." Yan Zhou shook his head honestly.

Time passed by, and no one could come to a conclusion.

The team tacitly agreed to Yan Zhou as the leader. If he didn't make a decision, it would be meaningless for them to say more.

Yan Zhou looked through the rearview mirror at Jiang Ning who was sitting in the back seat without saying a word: "Jiang Ning, do you also think 40% and 60% is okay?"

The final harvest is related to the interests of everyone. If Jiang Ning also thinks 40% and 60% is okay, then he can only agree.

"What?" Jiang Ning was just staring at the scenery outside the window without thinking, and she didn't hear what everyone was saying. Suddenly she was called out, and a

blank expression appeared on her face for a moment. "Brother Yanzhou, why are you still asking for her opinion? She can't help anyway." Seeing her like this, Li Xiang frowned and his face was full of incomprehension.

Jiang Ning is an orphan, and it's good enough that everyone is willing to take her with them.

Yan Zhou quietly waited for her answer. In his heart, everyone is a member of the team, and there should be no favoritism.

Through Li Xiang's words, Jiang Ning realized the question Yan Zhou asked her.

"I think..." She opened her mouth and her voice was crisp.

"If you don't want to agree but don't want to offend him, why not try to make a bet with him."

Yan Zhou asked: "How to bet?"

"Just compare the number of kills. If we have more, it's 60-40, otherwise if they have more, it's 30-70." Jiang Ning said slowly.

She even raised the altruistic benefit by 10%. There was no reason for Scarface not to agree to this bet.

"Are you crazy or am I crazy? 30-70?" Li Xiang, who was originally listening to Jiang Ning's words seriously, was furious in an instant, "I think you are really sick in the brain."

"Jiang Ning, stop messing around. If we lose according to your bet, we won't even get 40%." Uncle Li also frowned.

Jiang Ning's mouth moved: "Of course, I'm just making a suggestion. Yan Zhou is an A-level psychic after all. Everything still needs to wait for him to make a decision."

She specifically emphasized that Yan Zhou was an A-level psychic. Aren't A-level psychics very powerful? There are almost one in ten thousand on their planet M412. Why did she feel that these people didn't completely trust him?

After her reminder, everyone realized belatedly that Yan Zhou was an A-level psychic.

Everyone fell into silence.

Although they said so, what if they still lost?

"Son..." Yan Zhengxiang put his hand on Yan Zhou's shoulder, hesitating to speak.

Yan Zhou thought about it seriously, and looked at everyone after a while: "I think Jiang Ning's suggestion is feasible."

"If we win, we can get 10% more."

He was confident in his own strength. If he was not 70% sure, he would not agree.

Although Uncle Li, Aunt Li and Li Xiang still had some complaints, they could only listen to Yan Zhou's decision in hesitation.

After the discussion, Yan Zhou got out of the car and went to discuss with Scarface opposite.

In the car, Li Xiang glanced at Jiang Ning coldly: "It's all your fault. If we lose, don't take your share!"

Jiang Ning touched her empty belly. If she couldn't get the money, she would be hungry again. She frowned and retorted: "That won't work!"

"No?" Li Xiang snorted coldly, "You are the one who proposed the idea, so shouldn't you bear the loss?"

Jiang Ning took a deep breath and pursed her lips.

In order not to be hungry, they must not lose!

It seems that her little universe is about to explode.

After Yan Zhou came back, Scarface agreed to the bet.

The car drove all the way to the destination.

Yan Zhengxiang parked the car and several people got out of the car.

Seeing the scarred man getting off the car, Yan Zhou stopped everyone and said to them, "Everyone, pay attention. This is the range of the thorny lizards. They are good at blending into the surrounding environment. Their scales are hard and have strong penetrating power. So everyone must be alert and pay attention to the surrounding environment. Don't fall into the ambush of the thorny lizards."

Thorny lizard?

Jiang Ning raised her eyebrows. She felt that the name was very familiar. Was it the thorny lizard she was thinking of?

Yan Zhou glanced at Scarface who was walking over and said, "Scarface, our two areas will act separately first, and then join forces when we reach the central area."

"Okay." Scarface agreed readily, and was arrogant to the "old, weak, women and children", as if the alien beasts they were about to hunt were his own prey. "You all cheer up and hunt the alien beasts for me."

After Scarface left, Li Xiang had no place to vent his anger, and he didn't have a good face to Jiang Ning: "Look at what you have done."

Jiang Ning didn't even look at him, walked to the trunk of the car, picked up a half-broken knife, and walked in the opposite direction of Scarface.

"Pretend! Let's see how many alien beasts you can kill later." Li Xiang muttered to himself, picking and choosing in the trunk, and chose a weapon that suits him, and walked over. He didn't want to go with Jiang Ning, so he walked towards Yan Zhengxiang.

Aunt Li wanted to help Jiang Ning, but was called over by Uncle Li.

On one side is her husband, and on the other side is a neighbor with no blood relationship, Aunt Li naturally chose her husband without hesitation.

Aunt Li thought that Jiang Ning should not be so unlucky, and she could just wander around them.

Ordinary people who have not awakened need the help of weapons to have the ability to fight low-level alien beasts, but awakened people like Yan Zhou do not need it. He walked directly to an empty area. He

released his mental power, unleashing his earth tracking power.

His awakened earth elemental power had a natural affinity for the soil, and the northern uninhabited area was simply his comfort zone. Even if Yan Zhou had not conducted systematic supernatural power learning, he could easily deal with low-level alien beasts like the Thorny Demon Lizard just by relying on his instinct to control elemental power.

After a while, Jiang Ning saw that within a radius of 20 meters centered on Yan Zhou, three huge lizards emerged from the soil.

The deafening sound made the ground where they were standing tremble.

Before she could observe how Yan Zhou was going to use elemental power to deal with those giant lizards, she heard a movement under her feet.

A huge beast with a red body and covered with thorns appeared in front of her.

"Thorny Demon Lizard!"

Jiang Ning's eyes widened. After finally seeing the appearance of this thing clearly, she actually felt unexpectedly friendly.

No wonder she reacted so strongly, because in her world this thing was only the size of a palm, with a gentle personality, and was a creature raised as a pet.

This time, she was like meeting a fellow countryman.

But Jiang Ning didn't understand how the docile Thorny Demon Lizard could become so big after arriving in the interstellar space.

Before she could figure it out, the huge Thorny Demon Lizard swept its tail, and the tail full of thorns attacked her.

Damn!

Jiang Ning cursed in her heart, this Thorny Demon Lizard had no martial ethics.

Several people nearby heard the sound, and their eyes all looked in the direction of Jiang Ning. At the same time, a thought came to their minds.

Jiang Ning is finished!

Although they disliked Jiang Ning for being weak and always holding them back, they didn't want to see Jiang Ning die here.

Everyone's heart was in their throat.

Yan Zhou, who was busy dealing with three thorny demon lizards, also spared a little energy to check on Jiang Ning's situation. Unfortunately, he was not proficient in controlling his elemental power. At the same time, dealing with three thorny demon lizards was already his current limit. Apart from useless worry, he couldn't save her. The

scales of the thorny demon lizards were all over their bodies. Although they moved slowly and had weak attack power, they were very difficult to deal with. Hunting thorny demon lizards was a protracted battle.

At the same time.

Jiang Ning, who was in the center of the storm, jumped and dodged. The little food she had managed to eat was completely consumed. She endured the uncomfortable feeling of nausea and crawled up.

Jiang Ning propped up half of the knife on the ground and raised her eyebrows to look at the huge "fellow villager".

The thorny demon lizard was stimulated, and the tumor under its neck began to expand rapidly, and soon covered its original head.

She suddenly showed a sly smile, propped up her hind legs on the ground, and dived to stab the swollen tumor of the thorn demon lizard.

Jiang Ning hung on the half of the knife and pulled it down hard.

The next second, the tumor was torn in the middle, and thick mucus sprayed down from the top of the head, soaking Jiang Ning's body.

The moment the tumor burst, the huge body of the thorn demon lizard fell down.

The giant beast was motionless at this moment.
