Long Yi was talking vigorously when Jianjian suddenly interrupted him: "Mr. Long, wait a minute! Since you are planning to ask us for help with this matter, you must negotiate the price first!" Jianjian's eyes widened.
Li only recognized money, and even if it was a government agency that asked us for help, he would not hesitate.
Long Yi obviously didn't expect that Jianjian would raise the issue of remuneration at this time. He was stunned for a moment. He looked at me and then at Jianjian. After being stunned for a while, he asked: "Are you planning to ask for payment?"
How much is the reward?”
Just as Jianjian was about to speak, I quickly answered: "Mr. Long, please don't misunderstand. As for remuneration, it is a rule set by the elders. Please don't be offended! As for giving more or less, it's up to you."
Long Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Well, I'll ask the superiors for instructions on this matter, and I'll give you an answer later."
I nodded, cupped my fists and said, "Then there is Mr. Laurent."
While we were chatting, suddenly there was another noise from the pit next to us. Long Yi immediately turned around and quickly pulled out a short knife from his waist. He had just used this knife to cut off the entanglement that had entangled me.
And the cheap blood vine.
I didn't dare to be lazy, so I quickly pulled out the dragon's tooth and held it tightly in my hand.
The three of us stared at the pit for a while, but didn't find anything. However, none of the three of us dared to take it lightly. Long Yi stared at the pit for a while and said, "It's not a good place to stay here for a long time. We'd better leave first."
Well, come back another day."
Since I didn't bring anything with me except dragon teeth, even though I was very curious, I didn't dare to stay any longer. After hearing what Long Yi said, I immediately nodded in agreement, not to mention Jian Jian, of course, in return.
Before the negotiation was settled, he had no interest in exploring the tomb at all.
We returned to the red flag car. After getting on the car, Long Yi took off the short knife from his waist, put it aside, then started the car and drove towards the city.
I quickly focused on the short knife. This knife was about a foot long. Strictly speaking, it was not a knife, but a dagger at most. This is why Long Yi carried it with him.
It's because we didn't notice it at all at first.
The scabbard of the dagger is a black-painted wooden scabbard. There are no patterns carved on the scabbard, making it look plain and unpretentious. But I vaguely feel that this is no ordinary dagger. Just now, Long Yi used it to cut off
Xue Teng could tell that this dagger was extremely sharp and might be regarded as a magic weapon.
Out of curiosity, I stretched out my hand and took the dagger over. Long Yi noticed that I was looking at his weapon and did not stop me. He just smiled and said without looking back: "This knife is very special."
It's sharp, so you have to be careful not to cut your hand."
I pulled the dagger out of the scabbard, and saw that the silver-white blade seemed to be emitting a hint of cold air. I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart. It was obvious that this was no ordinary weapon. It should be made of some special material.
A magical weapon.
I couldn't help but sigh: "This dagger is really sharp!"
Long Yi smiled and said: "This dagger has some origins. It was made by Ou Yezi, a master swordsmith during the Warring States Period."
I couldn't help but be surprised when I heard about Ou Yezi. Ou Yezi is the most famous swordsmith in history. It is said that he discovered the difference in properties between copper and iron. The world's first iron sword, Long Yuan, was made from
With his hands, he forged many famous swords, but this is the first time I heard that he had made daggers.
Long Yi continued: "It is said that when Ou Yezi was casting the pure Jun sword, there was a pound and two taels of cold iron left over, so he made a dagger by the way. When the dagger was being cast, red suddenly fell from the sky.
Yu, Ou Yezi didn't know what was going on, so he named this dagger 'Wentian'."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jianjian sitting next to me exclaimed in shock: "What!? You said this is the legendary sword Wentian used by the royal families of all dynasties to kill ministers!?"
As he spoke, he immediately took the knife from my hand, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
I didn't expect Jianjian to actually know the allusion to this dagger, and I immediately felt impressed by him.
"I really didn't realize that you actually knew this!"
Jianjian said proudly: "Of course! We are knowledgeable and talented."
"Come on, I think you were a blind cat that bumped into a dead mouse. You just happened to see it in that book."
While we were joking, Long Yi suddenly braked hard and turned the steering wheel hard to the left. The whole car immediately turned sideways. Jianjian and I couldn't take precautions and we immediately huddled together.
"What's going on!?"
I sat up straight and looked outside the car, only to find that a large Dongfeng truck suddenly rushed out from the side of the road and crossed the middle of the road. Fortunately, Longyi braked in time and did not hit it.
"Holy shit! Does this guy know how to drive?" Jianjian said as he was about to open the car door and go down to argue with the other party. Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand reached the door handle, Long Yi quickly locked the door.
Jianjian tried several times but failed to open the car door, so she asked in confusion: "Mr. Long, why did you lock the car door?"
Long Yi stared at the big truck and said seriously: "Don't get out of the car yet, something is not right."
"What's wrong?" When Long Yi said this, I immediately focused my attention on the large Dongfeng truck in front of me. The trailer behind the truck was empty, with a few pieces of rotten canvas hanging on the frame of the trailer.
It looks very shabby.
Long Yi stared at the big truck and said coldly: "This guy should be coming towards us!"
"Why did he come to us? We didn't offend him..." I was halfway through my words when my mind suddenly flashed: "Wait a minute! Could this guy be a member of a cult!?"
As soon as I finished speaking, the big truck suddenly started up again, turned around, and crashed into our car.
Long Yi had already taken precautions. He immediately stepped on the accelerator and the car quickly retreated, avoiding the impact of the big truck. However, the big truck seemed unwilling to accept it and actually followed us closely.
Long Yi's Hongqi truck is a modified special vehicle. Not only does it pick up speed extremely fast, but its top speed is not comparable to that of ordinary vehicles. Logically speaking, it should be easy to get rid of a nearly scrapped truck, but
Long Yi didn't seem to be in a hurry to get rid of the big truck that was following us. He just kept the speed at about a hundred yards, and this speed was almost the limit for the big Dongfeng truck.
It seemed that the other party was determined to kill us. He stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and chased after us.
I turned my head and glanced, and saw that the body of the big truck was shaking violently, and it felt as if it would fall apart at any time.
I couldn't help but sigh: "Is this guy desperate? How dare he drive so fast in a scrapped car!"
Long Yi snorted softly and said: "Hmph! How can a walking corpse care about life and death?"
When I heard this, I was shocked: "What!? You mean, the driver is not a human being?"
Long Yi didn't answer me, he just said lightly: "You two sit tight!" Before Jianjian and I understood what he meant by this, he suddenly braked and jerked the steering wheel to the right.
As he hit, the car swerved and drove onto a country road that was only four or five meters wide on the right side of the road.
Bianjian and I were unable to take precautions, and once again we huddled together due to the strong inertia.
Before we could sit down firmly, there was a loud "bang" sound suddenly coming from behind. I turned around and saw that the big truck was following too closely, turning too sharply, and it rolled over. Now most of its body is
They all fell into the paddy field beside the road.
Long Yi slowly stopped the car, turned around and glanced at the large truck that had overturned on the side, grabbed the Wentian Dagger and said, "Let's go down and have a look!"
The three of us got out of the car and walked slowly towards the big truck.
The big truck was emitting thick smoke and exuding a strong smell of diesel.
Jianjian said with some lingering fear: "This car won't explode, right!?"
Long Yi frowned and said, "This car burns diesel and is not that easy to explode. But you two had better be careful to make sure there is nothing evil in the car."
After hearing what he said, I didn't dare to be lazy, so I quickly pulled out the dragon's tooth and held it tightly in my hand.
We quickly came to the side of the big truck. Now half of the cab of the overturned truck had sunk into the paddy field. If we wanted to see what was going on inside, we had to climb on top of the truck and open the door on the other side.
Long Yi was about to climb up to check what was going on, but suddenly there were several loud bangs, as if something was crashing into the cab.
Before we could figure out the situation, the entire car door was suddenly knocked open. The violent sound startled the three of us and we hurriedly took a few steps back.
Soon, a man climbed out of the car. Long Yi took a flashlight and shined it at him. When I saw the man's appearance, I couldn't help but be surprised.
This was a middle-aged man with a thick build. Half of his face was covered in blood. The white shirt on his body was also stained with blood. It was unknown whether the blood was there from the beginning or because of the trauma caused to him by the rollover of the truck.
The man opened his mouth, let out a strange scream, and then jumped out of the car.
He was half-hunched over, staring at us with a pair of blood-red eyes, his mouth slightly open, with two bloody teeth exposed at the corners of his mouth.
As expected, Long Yi's guess was correct. He was really not a human being, but a walking zombie that had transformed into a corpse!
Jianjian asked in a low voice: "Brother! What on earth is this?"
Before I could answer, Long Yi said from the side: "It's a walking corpse!"
"How can a walking corpse look like this?"
Long Yi explained: "It is indeed a walking zombie. The people in the cult have used some tricks to make the walking zombies more aggressive and more powerful. They are not easy to deal with. You two had better be careful."
.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the guy suddenly let out a piercing scream and pounced towards us.
