Chapter 927: "Okay, Okay!"
Mountain Cat still had to go to 097 to deal with the Fog Swamp Blood Vine situation!
As for Jiangnan's group, they jumped into the off-road vehicle!
The herd of mother rhinos were satisfied, their faces flushed with contentment as they left!
Liu Mang sat in the back seat with a grim expression and hollow eyes, leaning his head against the window in silence!
Who knows what scenes I just conjured up in my mind!
Jiangnan counted heads: "Mm~ counting Xiao Jiuwo, that's nine. Zi Yuan and Liu Mang are here too. Everyone's present, right?"
Mila and Xia Yao!
٩(ૢ⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴)人(˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅｡)۶ Oh!
"Then let's set off! Void Sea!"
Zhong Yingxue scratched her head: ୧(｡·•᷄ࡇ•᷅)
"Wait, I seem to remember there were ten people?"
Jiangnan smiled brightly: "Nonsense! There's seven of us, plus Zi Yuan and the other two! Where's the tenth? Right, Zi Yuan?"
Zi Yuan nodded: (๐•̀◠•́)✧ "Right!"
Zhong Yingxue smiled: "I must have remembered wrong!"
Jiangnan and Wu Liang stepped on the gas, the big tires spinning wildly, flinging mud seven or eight meters high!
They sped off toward the wilderness!
At that moment, Zhang San emerged from the checkpoint carrying two bags of boxed lunch. He watched as Jiangnan and the others had already driven several kilometers away, pedal to the metal, roaring forward!
His expression froze!
Σ(‖꒪口꒪)
"Damn! Don't leave! You're forgetting me!"
"I haven't even gotten on yet!"
"Hey!!!"
[From Zhang San's resentment value +1000!]
[From Zhang San...]
I just went to grab the boxed lunch for a moment, and you guys left?
Zhang San sprinted like mad after the car, chasing it for a full ten kilometers before catching up!
๛๛๛ᕕ(||ʘ̆益ʘ̥̆)୨
He jumped into the pickup truck's bed, silently crouched in a corner with his knees hugged, looking indignant!
"You're not getting any boxed lunch! I'm eating it all myself! Hmph!"
[From Zhang San's resentment value +1000!]
...
Although the core area of the uninhabited zone was densely populated with spirit beasts, it wasn't a problem for Jiangnan's "Said All Team"!
Even if they encountered large beast groups, they could rely on wormholes and teleportation to easily escape!
On the way, Jiangnan encountered several groups of poacher convoys. From afar, they flashed their high beams and whistled at Jiangnan.
A blond-haired guy even hung out the car window, making obscene gestures toward Zhong Yingxue and the others!
Zhong Yingxue glanced at them coldly, then turned her head away.
(￢‸￢‶) "Hmph! Vulgar!"
The poachers burst into laughter. When they saw Jiangnan frowning and looking over, the blond guy slid his hand across his throat in a taunting gesture, raising an eyebrow provocatively.
Jiangnan raised his hand and snapped his fingers!
A completely transparent spatial barrier suddenly appeared in front of their off-road vehicle!
"Boom!"
The high-speed off-road vehicle slammed into it, turning into a flattened pancake. The people inside were thrown out through the windshield due to inertia!
They landed face-first in the mud!
The blond guy got up, looking completely bewildered. How could they crash?
Driving on a flat plain, how could the car end up in such a state?
Was there an invisible wall in the uninhabited zone? Jiangnan must have done it!
When he looked up again, Jiangnan and his group had already disappeared!
"Little bastard, that's harsh! Let's go blow up their car too!"
"Forget it, we're still in the uninhabited zone, too close to Outpost 056. Remember how Master Cannon told us to act? Don't show hostility!"
"Wait until we get inside, don't cause trouble for ourselves!"
[From Feng Feng's resentment value +1000!]
[From...]
Jiangnan snickered as he watched the constantly refreshing resentment values!
I usually settle scores on the spot, spoiling your bad habits!
But this was the core area of the uninhabited zone, extremely dangerous. It wasn't impossible to encounter Starlight-rank spirit beasts!
For these poachers to come this deep for spirit pearls, something was off.
When things are abnormal, there must be a reason. Jiangnan quietly heightened his vigilance!
They arrived at the coordinates for Void Sea.
It was a towering rocky mountain, surrounded by weathered black shale fragments, looking very desolate.
A large chunk of the mountain was missing, as if it had been bitten off!
The break was smooth and flat. Deep inside the mountain gap was the spatial gate to Void Sea.
But it wouldn't open for another half day, so currently, the entrance was empty.
At the foot of the mountain, there were many off-road vehicles and motorcycles.
Over a thousand poachers were camped on the open ground in front of the mountain!
Some were setting up tents and grilling meat, others were playing cards and drinking—a very lively scene!
Their levels were not low. Platinum was the baseline, Gold was hardly visible.
There were quite a few Diamonds too. After all, to dare come to Void Sea for work, without real skill, it would be suicide!
Jiangnan's arrival caused the bustling wasteland to quiet down for a moment. Many gazes turned toward them!
Then they went back to whatever they were doing, showing no obvious hostility, treating Jiangnan like air!
Seeing so many people waiting here to guard Void Sea, Jiangnan was quite surprised!
Liu Mang was stunned: "What's going on? Are poachers this bold now?"
"All here to try their luck in Void Sea? Although space-type spirit pearls are valuable, they're not that easy to catch!"
Jiangnan lounged on the hood of the engine, leisurely observing the poachers!
At the mountain gap, Jiangnan spotted familiar faces!
Chen An and over a hundred Senwei! Among them were over a dozen Diamonds, and the rest were all Platinum!
What caught Jiangnan's attention most was the old man in the fisherman's hat!
His Starlight Three rank was very conspicuous!
Jiangnan sneered coldly. They really never change their ways? Planning to target me inside Void Sea?
This time they even brought a Starlight? They really went all out!
But the Chen family sat far away from the poachers, as if they disdained to associate with them!
Jiangnan looked at the Chen family, then at the poachers, his big eyes spinning endlessly!
Just then, a burly man in a leather vest and jeans, with a scruffy beard, walked toward Jiangnan's group!
He had two large shotguns strapped to his waist and a necklace made of various animal teeth hanging around his neck!
A rough, wild aura emanated from him!
He carried a six-pack of beer and a skewer of meat as he approached!
Liu Mang whispered: "The boss of the Wilderness Hunter Group, Jin Hao! Starlight One, they call him Master Cannon in the Western Frontier!"
Jin Hao came over as if he knew them, leaning against the pickup truck's bed, raising an eyebrow!
"Brother Jiang, nice ride! Is it a big-displacement naturally aspirated or turbocharged? Got enough power on the plateau?"
Jiangnan grinned: "What? Master Cannon likes it? If you like it, it's yours! It's just small change!"
At this moment, all members of Jiangnan's "Said All Team" opened their mouths wide, utterly shocked!
Is Xiao Nan sick?
The famously stingy Jiang Xiao Kou actually offered to give away a car?
This was the Southern Man who wouldn't even let go of scenic area gifts!
Jin Hao laughed heartily: "You're too kind! A gentleman doesn't take what others treasure. I can't just take something for nothing, right?"
"If I'm not mistaken, brother, you're heading into Void Sea this time after space-type spirit pearls, right?"
He handed a bottle of beer to Jiangnan. Jiangnan didn't stand on ceremony, took the beer, tilted his head back, and chugged it!
Of course, he let it all leak out through a wormhole!
Then he wiped his mouth: "Exactly. I still have an empty Platinum skill slot!"
"How about it? Brother have any ideas?"
Jin Hao grinned: "Perfect! Our Wilderness Hunter Group came in such force for a big haul in Void Sea too!"
"But space-type spirit beasts aren't easy to catch. With you here, it's different, right?"
"You're a space-type. Tracking and catching spirit beasts in Void Sea should be a piece of cake!"
"So, want to cooperate?"
Jiangnan hesitated: "Uh, well..."
Jin Hao put his arm around Jiangnan's shoulder and continued: "What's there to hesitate about? You only have nine people, too few!"
"I've got a lot of people on my side. More people, more strength! I'm also Starlight rank. If we run into something tough inside, I'll have your back!"
"I'll definitely get you a satisfying spirit skill. As for the extra spirit pearls... I won't take advantage of you. How about a fifty-fifty split?"
Jiangnan grinned: "Seventy-thirty. Otherwise, no deal!"
Jin Hao's mouth twitched, then he laughed heartily: "Seventy-thirty it is. Who says you're the space-type? This trip is bound to yield plenty!"
"Then I'll be counting on you, brother?"
Jiangnan smiled brightly: "Okay, okay!"
Came for the money? Didn't even get angry at seventy-thirty? No resentment value at all?
So his intentions are impure?
Interesting~
"What about those two groups over there?"
Jin Hao snorted dismissively: "Beast Tooth Hunt Group and Windchaser Hunt Group! Nothing to worry about..."
Jiangnan's expression turned serious: "Brother, that's not right. Since we're all here for spirit pearls, why make such a distinction?"
"More people, more strength! I'll go talk to them!"
Jin Hao: ???
"Hey hey! You..."
Before he could finish, Jiangnan teleported over to the encampments of the two hunt groups!
"Hey~ You two! Come over here, I have something to discuss with you!"
The goatee-bearded man and the scar-faced man, as the leaders of Beast Tooth and Windchaser Hunt Groups, were surprised when Jiangnan teleported over!
"What is it?"
Jiangnan put his hands on his hips: "You're all here for space-type spirit pearls, right?"
"You should know who I am. I've already partnered with the Wilderness Hunt Group. With me here, this trip into Void Sea to farm spirit pearls will yield at least three times more!"
"So, want to join in?"
The goatee-bearded man curled a corner of his mouth!
What a fool, being sold and still counting the money for the seller!
After space-type spirit pearls? Hah!
Every poacher here was after your teammates!
Catch one and deliver it to Second Master Chen, and it's worth far more than a space-type spirit pearl!
The reason they tricked you into cooperating was to make you let your guard down against the poachers!
Once inside Void Sea, they can catch your teammates. Jiangnan's space-type teleportation is tricky!
Stabbing from behind is much safer than a frontal assault. That makes catching them easier!
Jin Hao had long figured out how to dig this grave!
Pretending to be at odds with the Chen family was also meant to confuse Jiangnan!
As for Beast Tooth and Windchaser, even if they knew, they could only watch jealously!
After all, Jin Hao's Starlight One level was there. They couldn't compete with him!
