Chapter 118 Traveling Together
Swish!
At the critical moment, a water blade cleaved through the air, halting the giant sandworm's attack.
"Who?"
Because of the dust kicked up by the battle, Jeli couldn't make out who the newcomer was, but judging from the direction of the attack, it was clear that this person had come to help them.
Pfft!
The water blade swiftly tore a wound in the giant sandworm's body. The sandworm cried out in pain and immediately retreated, preparing to create distance.
But the attacker wouldn't let him go. He took several steps forward, leaped up, and landed on the giant sand worm, using his spear to unleash a series of thrusts!
"Great!"
Seeing the sandworm rolling around on the ground after being stabbed by the spear, Jeli exclaimed in amazement.
Seeing this, he didn't stand there stunned. Instead, he quickly stepped forward to help the person who had suddenly appeared suppress the sand worms!
boom!
Finally, under the combined attack of the two, the sand worm could no longer withstand the onslaught and collapsed, covered in wounds.
"Thanks, brother!"
Looking at the sandworm that was dead beyond any doubt, Jeli's eyes were filled with amazement.
The scholar in white did not answer the question. At this moment, he was wearing a hood and a cloak, and the lower half of his face was covered by a high collar. The only part of his body that could be seen was his pair of emotionless eyes.
Seeing the white-robed scholar's demeanor, Jerry didn't say anything. Isn't that how a master is? Ruthless and taciturn. Besides, the other party had saved him, and he was already grateful to him.
Boom!
The scholar in white leaped down from the enormous body, then looked at Jerry standing before him and asked:
"Where are you guys going?"
"Let's go to Huangtucheng."
Jeremy answered without hesitation, then looked at the scholar in white, as if he had thought of something, and tentatively asked:
"Hey bro, wanna come with me?"
"I see you don't have a mount. We have a beast-drawn carriage here. Would you like to come with us?"
"Of course, I was just asking."
Jelly hadn't held out much hope, but to his surprise, the white-robed scholar nodded in agreement, which was a pleasant surprise.
He realized during the battle that the white-robed scholar was no ordinary man; he could kill him single-handedly even without his help, clearly indicating that the scholar was at least a silver-ranked individual.
"That's great!"
"With a strong person like you joining us, we will definitely be able to move forward without any obstacles!"
Just as Jerry was happily talking to the white-robed scholar, the squinty-eyed fat man looked at the huge sandworm corpse with ill intent.
"This is really good stuff..."
The squinty-eyed fat man stared greedily at the sandworm, then beckoned his two bodyguards over.
He glanced furtively at the white-robed scholar who was talking to Jerry, pondered for a moment, and then ordered two guards to begin dissecting the sand worm's corpse.
"Still don't know how to address a brother?"
"By the way, my name is Jerry, and I'm a mercenary!"
"White clothes".
"Good name. White-robed brother, are you really not concerned about that corpse?"
Jerry whispered to the white-robed scholar, explaining that he had seen the fat man and his guards secretly dissecting the corpse, and that the white-robed scholar had also discovered them.
However, to his surprise, the white-robed scholar did not speak up to stop him, but simply watched silently, which made him unable to help but ask a question.
What currency do you use here?
The scholar in white did not answer his question, but instead asked another one.
“Shabei”.
Isn't he a local?
Although Jerry had doubts, he still spoke up. Then the white-robed scholar asked him some more questions. During this process, the squinty-eyed fat man also divided the important parts of the giant sandworm into several large bags.
Just as he was about to board the animal-drawn cart with several large bags, a long spear flew over.
shhhhhh!
puff!
The spear struck precisely the bag in the squinty-eyed fat man's hand.
"what!"
The squinty-eyed fat man was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a thud. His two lackeys immediately came to his aid.
They looked nervously into the distance and saw the man who had just killed the sandworm slowly walking towards them. With a slight twitch of his fingers, the spear piercing the bag trembled.
puff!
call out!
The spear was suddenly pulled out of the bag, which was instantly torn apart, and chunks of meat spilled all over the ground.
slap~
The white-robed scholar gripped the returning spear tightly and arrived in front of the squinty-eyed fat man in just two steps. He didn't speak, but his eyes were full of hostility.
Upon seeing this, the squinty-eyed fat man trembled in fright, and swallowed back the angry words he was about to utter.
"you........"
"What do you want to do?"
The scholar in white did not reply, but his gaze remained fixed on the scattered pieces of meat, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"I'm...I'm sorry!"
"I thought you didn't want it, so... so I did..."
"I'll give it back to you right now, I'll give it all to you!"
The squinty-eyed fat man reacted immediately. He not only pushed all the pieces of meat around him toward the white-robed scholar, but also signaled his subordinates to take the remaining bags over.
However, the scholar in white showed no reaction to this action. He did not take the pieces of meat, but simply watched him silently.
"What... exactly do you want?"
The squinty-eyed fat man's voice was already tinged with tears. The white-robed scholar's eyes were truly terrifying. Being stared at by him was like being stared at by a cold, venomous snake, making one's heart pound and putting immense pressure on them.
“Shabei”.
.........................
The animal-drawn carriages moved steadily. There were more than ten people in their group, and there were three animal-drawn carriages.
The squinty-eyed fat man, who was the boss, would definitely ride in one car by himself, the remaining servants would ride in another car, and then the hired superhumans would ride in yet another car.
The white-robed scholar sat in the carriage of the extraordinary individuals, where there happened to be an empty seat.
He carefully examined the currency unique to this region in his hand.
The currency was made of some unknown material and was extremely hard; even when the white-robed scholar gripped it tightly in his hand or tried to break it, he was unsuccessful.
Its shape is just like its name, resembling a small seashell, but it is not very large, about the size of a fingernail.
Each shell has some numbers engraved on it, as if to indicate its face value. The one in the white-robed scholar's hand has a face value of ten.
The white-robed scholar opened the money bag he had obtained from the squinty-eyed fat man; it contained a large amount of sand, roughly estimated to be several thousand.
click!
Suddenly, the carriage stopped.
The scholar in white peered out the window and saw a yellowish-brown city wall come into view.
