spooky invasion

Chapter 1258: Take a step back, the situation is getting bigger
Lao Shi smiled miserably, biting his lip and drawing blood.

"Okay, Bronze Box, you are so cruel. It's not enough for me to die. However, I will never let you go. You asked me to die for you today. Do you think you can restore your reputation?" ? Your reputation is also in disrepute. If I die, you won’t live long."

He was about to die, so Lao Shi was naturally not afraid of offending Bronze Box, so he naturally said whatever it took to hurt his heart.His hatred for the copper box at this moment far exceeded his hatred for the mushroom man.

When people are about to die, Lao Shi also realizes that the mushroom man is not wrong.In the face of provocation, mushroom people rise up to resist. What’s wrong with this?

On the other side of the copper box, he was completely angered.

"Give him some dignity!" Bronze Box shouted in a low voice.

Lao Shi closed his eyes and waited for death, not wanting to struggle any more.He knew that struggling would only make his death worse.

"Wait a minute!"

Jiang Yue, who was on the opposite side, suddenly spoke to stop him.

"Boss Bronze Box, his life was lost to me, why shouldn't you be the one to take action?"

Jiang Yue's tone was very calm, but there was an unquestionable attitude.

Bronze Box did not speak out against this issue, but instead said with a strange smile: "Brother Mushroom Man, what do you mean? Just now you asked me for an explanation, and now you don't allow me to do it? What, are you sure you want me to hand him over to you?" ?”

Jiang Yue smiled and said nothing, but nodded lightly.

Bronze Box chuckled and waved his hand generously: "Okay, I'll leave it to you. But if he resists and struggles, you can't come to me again."

You three mushroom people don't know that the sky is high and the earth is high. Lao Shi has to show his dignity under the hands of my copper box.It's really up to you. If he cheats, what can you mushroom people do to him?

Not only did Bronze Box not resist handing over Lao Shi to the Mushroom Man, on the contrary, he was happy to see it come to fruition.

In fact, he didn't care at all whether Lao Shi died or not.The reason why he had to force Lao Shi to be decent before was entirely to maintain his own dignity.If Lao Shi is not dead, if the three mushroom men don't let go, he will definitely be disgraceful.In order to give an explanation to the mushroom people and the gambling game, Lao Shi must die.

It's not that the copper box itself has any grudge against Lao Shi.

Since these three mushroom men want Lao Shi to go over, of course he will not object.He was happy to see Lao Shi resist, and it would be best to fight with the three mushroom men.By that time, these three mushroom men will definitely be very embarrassed if they can't deal with Lao Shi, and the embarrassment of his copper box losing the bet will be alleviated.

Thinking about it this way, why not do it?Bronze Box's men got his signal, quickly let go of Lao Shi, and pushed Lao Shi towards the three mushroom men.

Jiang Yue looked at Lao Shi with a half-smile but not a smile, and saw the frightened look on his face.

"How is it?" Jiang Yue asked with a strange smile, "Can you see their faces clearly now?"

Lao Shi was still a little confused, and for a moment he didn't know what the mushroom man planned to do with him.But he had just escaped death, and it was because of the mushroom man's words that he was saved from being killed by Bronze Box's men.To say that he hated this mushroom man a little before, now his hatred really no longer exists.

On the contrary, what really made him hate was the copper box. These people changed their faces when they were told, and killed when they were told to kill. They showed no mercy at all.It is true that it was his old history that caused the disaster.But later on, when the conflicts escalated and he fanned the flames, didn’t he have any responsibility?

Why was he the only one left to take the blame in the end?

Therefore, when Jiang Yue asked him if he could see clearly the faces of Tong Xia and others, Lao Shi was deeply touched.

Jiang Yue did not force him to express his position. He waved his hand lightly: "Okay, remember that you owe me your life. This matter ends here."

so far?

Not to mention the people around were stunned, even Lao Shi was stunned.Jiang Yue looked at Jiang Yue in disbelief, as if he was wondering, what kind of conspiracy is this mushroom man planning?The fire has been burning like this, but it ends here?What about the promised bet?Just hold it high and let it go?
Tong Xia originally looked at the excitement, but when he heard Jiang Yue's words, he also looked surprised.Then his face became solemn, and his eyes looking at Jiang Yue became complicated.

Obviously, Jiang Yue's move seemed casual, but it reflected a lot of information.The city of this mushroom man is actually so deep, and it is completely inconsistent with the mushroom man's petty and vengeful character.He could actually choose to let Lao Shi go in this situation instead of venting his anger and killing Lao Shi.

You know, if the mushroom people insist on killing Lao Shi, no one can stop him.He, Bronze Box, must personally help kill Lao Shi.

In that case, it was a pleasure, and it was indeed a breath of bad breath.But invisibly, these three mushroom men will give people the impression of being arrogant and domineering, and will make neutrals feel disgusted with them. They may even feel that they, little mushroom men, are so arrogant in the Titan City-State. , Do you still want to hang out in the future?
But if he took a step back and let Lao Shi go, the situation would be completely different.

Of course Lao Shi will be grateful to them and thank them a lot.Other onlookers will also appreciate the attitude of the mushroom people, thinking that they have the courage to not kill everyone.It is bound to create a wave of goodwill among passers-by.

Don't underestimate these invisible good feelings, it will save these three mushroom people a lot of unnecessary trouble.Even people who originally had a bad impression of them will look at them with new eyes because of this.

This mushroom man is both capable and resourceful, and he is also very decent and good at being a good person.Why bother with such a person?Why bother with others?
Only then did Lao Shi come to his senses and murmured: "You...you mean to let me go? Don't want my life?"

Jiang Yue smiled calmly: "Anyway, it's just a few angry words. It would be too cruel for a gangster to kill someone with a few squabbles. Although we mushroom people are not big-minded, we win even if we win, and we will lose our anger and lose our lives." There’s no need for that. Just owe it first.”

They say they owe it, but in fact everyone knows that they just don’t want Lao Shi to pay for his life.Otherwise, why would I talk to you so much?

Lao Shi was even more ashamed and slapped himself hard.

"It's me who's such a mean-mouthed person, and it's me who looks down on others. Brother Mushroom Man taught me a hard lesson today. Although I, Old Shi, are a bastard, I am not a man without roots. I owe my life to you. Yes. There will be a need for me in the future, and if I, Old Shi, shirk it, I will be a son of a bitch."

This is really what Lao Shi said from the bottom of his heart.All the mushroom people have this pattern. He, Lao Shi, has always felt that he is superior to the mushroom people. Could it be that the pattern is not as good as others?
If someone can generously spare his life, can he still feel at ease and take it as a matter of course?
If you are so ignorant, then today's lesson will be in vain.

The crowd also applauded. "Well done, Mushroom Man is so generous, he is a man."

"That's very good. A few words of quarrel will not lead to death. The pattern of the Mushroom Brothers is impressive."

"I didn't expect that among the mushroom people, there are also good men and real men. It seems that we were biased in the past, which is wrong."

"That's right, my mushroom man brothers can defeat Ah Tu with their magic skills. This is also true. Why are you inferior to others? Why do everyone look down on them?"

The direction of the wind at the scene was completely in favor of the mushroom man.

The most embarrassing thing at the moment is that they have become a group like Bronze Box.In the end, after all this trouble, they were the only clowns?

Even Lao Shi was cleared after some self-examination, and he seemed to have the character of a prodigal son who turned around once he knew his mistakes.So isn't the only bad guy here the bronze box?
He fanned the flames, he made noises, he escalated the matter, and finally it reached the level of gambling on one's life. If it weren't for his bronze box, would the matter have reached this point?

But after all, the copper box is a good city. Seeing this, he applauded hypocritically and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I know that these mushroom brothers have a pattern. I was just testing it. I knew you wouldn't really do it." Kill Lao Shi's life. This is good, this is good. Let's just treat it as a joke. We won't get to know each other until we fight. I, Bronze Box, also admire the mushroom man brothers' earth-moving skills. In this way, I will be the host. I'll book a table at the tavern in the guild. The fight just now was all in the wine, so it's over."

Tong Xia's response was considered very appropriate. He rescued himself decently and inadvertently gave Jiang Yue a thumbs up.

It can also be regarded as a way of talking high and low.

Although he was very surprised by Jiang Yue's city government, Jiang Yue was also surprised by his city government skills.

It is said that the most embarrassing thing now is the copper box, but I didn't expect that he could borrow Poxia's donkey and offer to treat him.

Regardless of whether his statement of smiling and letting go of grudges after meeting each other came from the bottom of his heart, at least the surface level allowed him to walk down the stairs with dignity enough to avoid becoming a laughing stock.

Jiang Yue is a smart person, and smart people never show it on their faces.He naturally had doubts about Bronze Box's motives, and he didn't feel that Bronze Box was really relieved, as magnanimous as he showed.

But in terms of face, Jiang Yue would naturally not refute the other party.

"We mushroom people have a humble status. Drinking with the Bronze Box boss makes us reach a higher level." Jiang Yue pretended to be humble.

"Haha, Brother Mushroom Man, as far as your level of magic is concerned, no one here is qualified to look down upon you. Why do you have to be overly modest?"

Jiang Yue said with a smile: "I believe that the boss of the copper box has to do business now, and we also need to make a living. How about we make another date about drinking?"

You're being polite, but Jiang Yue wouldn't be stupid enough to drink with Tongxia.If he really went to drink with Tongxi, let alone whether Tongxi would be scheming, even the bystanders around him would probably look down on them.Just after being bullied, I turned around and went to drink with others, licking my face.Isn't this just dog licking?

Bronze Box did not insist too much, and smiled smartly: "Yes, yes, business is important. We can make an appointment later after drinking. But brother Mushroom Man, please don't doubt my sincerity. I, Bronze Box, will not accept anything from heaven or earth, but I have real ability." People are always convinced. You Mushroom Brother has real abilities, and I, the Copper Box, will look up to you."

"Haha, I have to thank the Bronze Box boss for his appreciation."

Seeing this excitement, I can’t say that I am completely happy.However, this process is quite exciting and full of twists and turns, which satisfies everyone's appetite.The only fly in the ointment is that there is no fierce conflict, no fighting breaks out, and there is no bloodshed and killing, which is somewhat unsatisfactory.

The crowd slowly dispersed, everyone doing their own thing.

During the entire process, no one from the Titan City State officials or the guild intervened. It was obvious that they were used to such conflicts.As long as the commotion is not too excessive and the reputation of the official and the guild is not affected, they are happy to watch the fun and turn a blind eye.

But everything that happens outside is naturally seen by the guild.One of the guild elders was sitting here today. He heard about the whole process of the conflict, and his desire for gossip was somewhat satisfied.

"It's interesting, it's really interesting. This guy from Bronze Box has always been naughty, and I didn't expect that he would also suffer the consequences of being dumb." The guild elder sitting in charge commented with a smile.

One of the deacons laughed and said: "I'm afraid no one would have thought that the mushroom people could actually win this bet. In fact, the mushroom people had no choice but to do this, right? If they really wanted Lao Shi's life, it would be equivalent to offending him. He killed more than half of the adventurers present. They are considered to be knowledgeable."

"Haha, you still have some tricks up your sleeve when it comes to hanging out in the world. Mushroom people must also have a Mushroom people's survival philosophy."

"This mushroom man's earth-moving skills are actually more powerful than those of the Chuanshan clan from Bronze Box. It's really not that simple."

The guild elder nodded: "This is indeed not easy. A hundred miles and 25 minutes, even I may not be able to do it. Is this mushroom man really a genius?"

"Elder, this mushroom man obviously came to our guild to find opportunities to make money. Should we recruit this kind of talent appropriately? If he is suitable, he can be considered a talent by absorbing him into the guild. Our guild should need talents in this field, right? "

The guild elder was noncommittal, pondered for a moment, waved his hands and said: "Don't worry, let's observe and explore their heels. I always feel that the mushroom man should not have such a genius. Maybe he has some special equipment? Otherwise, , how did he quickly identify the direction and lock the route underground? According to normal logic, these are very time-consuming on an unfamiliar route. At his speed, it is as if he did not spend much time on these aspects underground. "

This is what this elder really cares about.

If there really was such special equipment, then everything would be easy to explain.

The deacon immediately understood what the elder meant.The elder was interested and wanted to find out.If there is such equipment, I am afraid that the elders have the intention of taking it for themselves.

Jiang Yue probably never expected that for such a small disturbance, he would be targeted by the elders of the guild, and he would also be given unwarranted special equipment.

From this gambling battle, Jiang Yue and the others did not gain anything, but invisibly, it gave them a strong sense of presence. Many forces saw their strength and threw olive branches to them. Everything he said was meant to recruit them.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yue had no intention of joining the adventurer team.
