Excalibur Invincible System

Chapter 145 Xiao Ke
The desert sea is an endless yellow sand area, and a shortest road has been opened up in the snake desert area, but because of the changing climate in the desert sea, there will be a big storm from time to time. Yes, it often takes a lot of energy and time to go through here.

This place is considered to be close to the prosperous center of the empire, so on this road, a large number of caravans can be seen crushing hard on the yellow sand.

"You two are going to cross the desert sea."

The two rested for a while at the tea stand on the edge of the desert sea. There was only one tea stand here. Besides, to enter the desert sea, the fastest and smoothest way would be to endure the sun for three days. The scorching breath and the monstrous beasts born under desert conditions often catch people off guard.

An old man came over. The latter looked quite old, with a gray beard, but he carried a heavy sword on his thin body, which looked very heavy.

"Yeah." Yang Fan said, and at the same time beckoned the other party to sit down. It seemed that the old man was very imposing, and he didn't look like a bad person.

"You two are too bold. Now is the season when the snake-human race is active. If you want to cross the desert sea at this time, are you ready to be torn apart?"

The old man picked up a bowl of tea on the table, took a sip, and then spit it out.

"This water is dry, but my wine tastes better, old man." Then he untied the wine gourd from his trouser belt, and took a sip all at once.

"We are going to Nantan County City to participate in the swordsman competition."

Yang Fan cupped his hands and said.

"Swordsman Competition? It turns out that this is the case. I have been escorting back and forth on this desert sea line for seven or eight years. Every year at this time, there will be people participating in the Swordsman Competition. Hey, why is it another year? ."

The old man said, he did not expect that this old man has lived here for seven or eight years. A powerful swordsman can provide strength and protection for the passing convoys. Often merchants will spend a lot of commission to hire them and go on the road together. It's a little safer.

"My name is Xiao Ke, you can just call me Old Man Xiao, but don't call me Little Old Man, or I'll be in a hurry with you," Xiao Ke said, took a sip of his wine, and then glanced at Huangsha Road.

"This road is called Huangquan Road in our industry. How many brothers have walked up it and have not been able to return, and how many lives have been swallowed up."

In the words, Xiao Ke's eyes are also full of vicissitudes.

Lin Xilei glanced at Xiao Ke, and then at Yang Fan, obviously saying that this old man is still a person with a story, but Yang Fan can fully see that this guy is here to make money.

"Okay, it's fate to meet each other, you two, I'll count 500 taels for each of you, how about taking you across this road to hell."

Xiao Ke grinned.

Said the intention.

"Cough cough." Lin Xilei coughed suddenly, just now she wanted to be touched by the latter's aura, and wanted to comfort her with words, but who knew that the style of painting would change all of a sudden.

Yang Fan rolled his eyes.

"You might as well grab 500 taels." Yang Fan said.

It only takes three days to cross the Huangsha Road. In three days, 500 taels of silver will be charged, and two people will be 1000 taels. The most important thing is that this trip is not just the two of us, so this trip earns a There is no problem at all with tens of thousands of taels of silver.

After a month, several 10 taels of silver will be credited, which is a lot of money. Even if an ordinary high-level swordsman is in Fengyun City, the salary he can get is only about 1 taels, which is considered very high. that's it.

If it is attached to some big families, it will deduct some cultivation resources and the like, and those who can get them are even more pitiful.

So this escort is quite lucrative, because sometimes there is no danger at all.

"Hey, I think you're destined, so I'll give you two a 800% discount, [-] taels, how about it, I'll leave in the afternoon."

Lin Xilei directly held a bowl of water without looking at Xiao Ke. This was simply to deceive her feelings, and she looked like a profiteer, which made Lin Xilei heartbroken.

"Two, 500 taels."

Yang Fan stretched out his hand and said.

At present, there are no task prompts and no other needs. If you encounter that brutal snake-human race in such a place, it will be a big trouble for yourself. It is better to let someone lead the way and pass here earlier.

Yang Fan doesn't need to practice in such a harsh environment, the system is for him, it is for him to upgrade comfortably, why waste time in such a place.

But Yang Fan still felt that the asking price was too high.

"Okay, just 500 taels! Let's go, go to our camp to gather, and I will recruit two more people to join the team later."

Xiao Ke slapped the table and laughed.

Yang Fan knew that his price was too high, even if it was 300 taels, the other party would still agree, hey, he blamed himself for being too kind.

"This...you..." Lin Xilei was completely surprised, it's all about nothing, it's half the price without saying anything!
This Xiao Ke is too dark. He directly asked for 1000 taels and the price was reduced to only 500 taels. It really made Lin Xilei lament that there are still too many profiteers in this world.

"Let's go, someone will take it with you, the danger will be much lower. We are here to hurry, not for anything else."

Yang Fan said, Lin Xilei nodded, and she still agrees with Yang Fan's decision very much. Even this way, it was Yang Fan who made the decision, and Lin Xilei just followed obediently. After the shrewd Xiao Ke saw the appearance of the two, his eyes were full of tears. Take a turn.

"Hey, my little brother, I can give you a carriage with just another 50 taels, how about it?"

After finishing speaking, he gave Yang Fan a look you know, and made Yang Fan stare back viciously.

"No, we ride horses."

These two horses were prepared by the Lin family in Xiaonanshan City.

Even now, they have become extremely fat. It seems that the fodder in Fengyun City is very good.

The two came to Xiao Ke's camp with their horses. There were about 100 people, and a total of six tents were stationed to block the wind and sand. There were hundreds of horses and more than 20 carriages outside the camp.

"We took over the work of a caravan, you don't need to ask more questions, just follow us, stop for two nights, don't drive, eat dry food, bring water by yourself, if you ask us to buy water after entering , the price is not cheap."

Xiao Ke told Yang Fan a series of rules, and Yang Fan nodded to express that he remembered it.

For such a large team of swordsmen, the general service targets are those large caravans, and the oil on these big bosses is thick enough.

"Little old man, I picked up two more, not bad..."

Someone greeted Xiao Ke after seeing him.

"Shut up, call me old man Xiao, don't call me little old man, veteran, if you are calling me wrong, don't blame me for being rude."

Xiao Ke said angrily.
