Balancing the World - C186
On the afternoon of the third day, Wang Da rushed the Beast Cart into the Spring Crocodile City.
Upon hearing the name of this city, one would naturally think of flying birds. In their mind, a warm spring flower would immediately bloom, and birds would clamor. It was a scene of a landscape during the spring ploughing, and it was very warm, causing people to involuntarily want to be within it.
Entering the city, Zhuo Yan lifted a corner of the carriage’s curtain and saw that most of the pedestrians were holding pet cages in their hands.
On the other hand, many people’s faces were deathly pale from exhaustion, and many people’s eyes were swollen. Looks like these people all stayed up all night last night.
“Patriarch Wang, you know too much. This Spring Crocodile City, I presume you have also been here before? Can you please tell everyone the story of the Spring Crocodile City? ” Zhuo Hua said as she blinked her eyes at Wang Gongnan.
“Actually, this Spring Magpie has a new story every day. This was because the people of this city only had two hobbies, one to play with, and the other to gamble with.
Playing was playing with pets. They had a principle to play with pets. When raising a pet to the advanced stage, they would stop playing and either release the pet or send it to a special purchasing station.
This was because once a pet entered the tier, that pet would have to start cultivating by itself and would usually not be as obedient. When it was time to play, the pet would go into seclusion to level up. It was like a dead animal.
The second was the bet. There were all sorts of ways to gamble in this city. Even if one picked up two small stones, they would all be able to gamble.
“Of course, the pets that we gamble on the most are pets …” When Zhuo Quan was at Peng City, he had asked Peng Yong for information on Spring Crocodile City. Even though it wasn’t much, it was enough to tell those people who had never stepped out of the sect.
More importantly, these people were all guided by correct thoughts such as’ playthings lose all hope ‘and’ nine out of ten losses’. Once they heard that it was a game, they all felt disgusted and no longer had the interest to continue listening.
Wang Gongnan knew that he didn’t need to waste his breath, so he just smiled at Zhuo Hua and stopped talking.
“Patriarch, there’s an inn up ahead. Should we stay for the night before leaving?”
At this time, Wang Da’s voice came out.
“Alright, I’ve been sitting in the car for two days. I need to stretch my muscles and bones. “Stop in front of the inn. Go and book a room.” Wang Gongnan said.
“Okay, wait for me in the car.” Wang Da stopped the Beast Cart at a tavern called “Good”, then walked over to the service desk.
“Dear guest, would you like to stay in the inn?” I’m so impressed with you, sir.
This shop is a famous Spring Crocodile City inn, it is fully equipped with service, and special service is also available, it is fairly safe. ” When the female attendant saw Wang Da coming in, her face was immediately filled with smiles, and her mouth that had been smeared red all over quickly opened and closed.
“We have a total of eighteen people. Fifteen men and three women. Please help me arrange them. The houses have to be close together, the ordinary houses are fine, don’t be too luxurious. ” After Wang Da heard the waiter’s introduction, he could not help but frown, but still quickly told the waiter about the requirements to book a room.
“Alright, please wait a moment. I’ll take a look.” The waitress immediately took out a notebook from the cabinet and started flipping through it.
“Customer, can the three of you share a room with us?” After a while, the female attendant raised her head and asked Wang Da.
“Alright.” Wang Da said.
“Customer, on the third floor, there are exactly six empty rooms, 306, 307, 308 and 310, 311 and 312.
However, those people in Room 309 only played all night and just slept for a short while. I feel bad waking them up and changing their rooms, do you think that’s okay? ” the waitress asked.
“I need to see the room before I make a decision.” Wang Da said.
“Sure, please, sir.” Just then, another waiter walked out from the side and brought Wang Da to the third floor.
The six rooms had the same structure: a double bed, a wardrobe, and a small square table. The house was about ten square meters in area, but there was only one window and one door. The house was still clean, but there was no toilet. The toilet was public, just next door to 306.
“This is called having all the facilities?” Wang Da couldn’t help but mutter under his breath.
But he knew that there were many people playing in the Spring Crocodile City, and many people, for convenience’s sake, often stayed at inns and didn’t return home, so this made the inn’s business very popular, and the owner, in order to earn more money, would of course think of a way to make the house’s layout.
“I want the house. “How much is it?” Wang Da asked. At this moment, Wang Da couldn’t help but think back to the scene when he was killed by Che Liuzi when he had just arrived in Pingsha City.
“A room for 5 gold coins a night, plus a gold deposit. Your Beast Cart s are middle-sized vehicles, so the parking fee and the demon beast care fee total 10 gold coins, which is a total of 46 gold coins. ” the waitress said.
Wang Da paid and came out with his door plate. A shop assistant followed him out and came to help pull the car to the car park.
Everyone got off the carriage, and followed Wang Da into the tavern. The Beast Cart was then pulled by the tavern assistant into a side alley.
Everyone followed the waiter and arrived at the third floor. Wang Yu arranged for Wang Da to stay at room 306 with two boys from Zhuo Family, herself and Zhuo Hua stayed at room 308, while Wang Gongnan, Zhuo Quan and Zhuo Yan stayed at the staircase at room 312.
Right now, the sky was not completely dark, so it was not the peak time for the inn’s residents to enter and leave.
“They need to be in the public restroom. Not only men and women, but also a room for 5 gold coins.” Wang Da muttered.
However, he had asked around beforehand and knew that the Spring Crocodile City was a consumer-type city. It was mainly for entertainment and was much more expensive to eat and live in than other cities.
To come here and waste energy, one had to be mentally prepared to be slaughtered.
Wang Da came to wash up with two other Zhuo Family practitioners and only four people could come at the same time in the public restroom.
Wang Da quickly finished changing and stood at the door waiting for Zhuo Family.
Suddenly, Wang Da noticed that a mouse was scurrying along the passage. He couldn’t help but look at it.
As long as there were people around, there would be mice accompanying them. It was unknown if everyone had this kind of lamenting.
This inn was renovated using ordinary houses, so it was definitely normal for rats to come in and out.
However, when Wang Da looked at the mouse, he immediately tensed up and reached out to catch it.
But when he reached out his hand, he withdrew it. Just then, the two people from Zhuo Family had also finished washing up. Hearing the door open, the mouse looked in their direction, turned around and walked towards the stairs.
Wang Da sent the two people of Zhuo Family back to their room, and immediately ran to Wang Gongnan’s room, knocked a few times, and entered.
“Patriarch, we have been followed.” Wang Da whispered to Wang Gongnan.
“What’s going on?” Wang Gongnan frowned.
“Mouse.” Wang Da said.
“Did you tell Sister Yu?” Wang Gongnan’s expression became serious.
“Not yet.” Wang Da said.
“Immediately ask Sister Yu and the others to come to my place.” Wang Gongnan said.
“Patriarch Wang, what happened?” Zhuo Yan asked Wang Gongnan when she saw him leave the room.
“We’re being followed.” Wang Gongnan looked at Zhuo Quan and said. Zhuo Quan’s expression was very calm, as if he did not hear anything.
“What?” We’re being followed? Patriarch Wang, are you really sure about this? ” Wang Yu brought Zhuo Mei and Zhuo Hua to room 312.
Hearing Wang Gongnan said that he was being followed, Zhuo Mei panicked a little.
“Elder Sister Mei, trust you, Patriarch Wang can’t be wrong.” Zhuo Quan said.
“Then what should we do? Do they want to make dumplings? Should we check out? ” Zhuo Hua was very anxious.
“Sisters, don’t be afraid. With me, Wang Gongnan, here, nothing bad will happen to everyone.” Wang Gongnan said to the two girls.
“Sister Sister Yu.” Zhuo Mei looked at Wang Yu, and then quickly glanced at Zhuo Quan and Zhuo Yan.
“Sister Sister Mei, don’t worry, nothing will happen to us.” Wang Yu naturally understood what Zhuo Mei meant, and went forward to grab one of Zhuo Mei’s hands and said.
“Patriarch Wang, can you confirm who the enemy is? “How strong is he?” Zhuo Mei turned to Wang Gongnan and said.
“If my guess is correct, the other party should be someone from the Shadow Qi Sect.
They should have a good idea of who we are, so this time, this is what their team will do.
Room 306, two Earth Martial Cultivator, room 307, 310, and 311. Room 308, because they were going to deal with the Sister Yu, two High Level of Earth Martial might appear at the same time. In addition, there was even a projectile hidden in the shadows. In my room, there might be one High Level of Earth Martial and one Middle Level of Earth Martial, “Wang Gongnan said.
“Patriarch Wang, you are too godly. It seems that you are at the scene when the enemy is making arrangements.
However, even if you were to estimate the enemy’s manpower and strength, what use would it be? With so many enemies, other than the three of you who can fight, we, who are from the Zhuo Family, would not even be able to react in time. ” Zhuo Hua said.
“Yes, Patriarch Wang, Sister Hua is right. I know, if the three of you from Wang Family want to escape, it’s a very simple matter.
Since we have no way to hide in front of strong enemies, then we, the people of Zhuo Family, will not hide, and stay here.
Right now, I will only ask Patriarch Wang to help me bring Younger Brother Quan and Yan Di away, leaving us here to absorb the enemies. ” Zhuo Mei said with a determined expression.
“Big Sister Elder Sister Mei, don’t worry. Our Disciple of Wang Family will always stand together with you two and we won’t leave. Besides, the enemies were used to kill. Only by killing him would they get less and less.
I have decided now, other than the Sister Yu, everyone else will stay here. Even if the enemy comes, we will not fight back and let them bring us away. ” Wang Gongnan said.
“I agree with Brother Wang’s decision.” Zhuo Quan who had been silent all this time spoke out.
“Younger Brother Quan, you …”
“Elder Sister Mei, listen to Patriarch Wang. He won’t let us all get into trouble.” Zhuo Quan stopped Zhuo Mei from speaking.
“Sister Elder Sister Mei, please trust me. I guarantee that brother Zhuo Quan will be fine.
This is because we were invited to the Raging Fire Sect, if they can’t swallow us all without a sound, then they would plot against us, and let the people of the world know.
Those so-called ‘decent’ people did not want to listen to other people’s gossip.
Therefore, as long as Sister Yu runs out alone, they won’t do anything to us. Only by capturing or killing the Sister Yu would they be able to harm us.
Then they can say that we went missing for no reason at all. ” Wang Gongnan said.
“Oh, I see. Right now, we from the Zhuo Family are not in danger, the most dangerous is instead the Sister Yu with the highest martial arts.
This time, they must have come to capture us alive because they felt that our cultivation was too low.
But against the Sister Yu Sis, she would definitely start off killing her immediately. As long as we can kill the Big Sister Sister Yu smoothly, they will take us to a secret place to deal with it.
Patriarch Wang, thank you for your reminder. I am too stupid and too impatient, I am truly sorry. ” Zhuo Mei bowed to Wang Gongnan and said.
“Elder Sister Elder Sister Mei, please don’t say that. Your burden is too heavy, there are so many people in the Zhuo Family and I have to rely on you to take care of them. Furthermore, your own nature is kind, and you have never gone far to deal with such a great danger for the first time, so anyone would be nervous. ” Wang Gongnan said.
“Then, Patriarch Wang, how do you plan to escape this danger?” Zhuo Mei said.
“The sky isn’t dark yet. In a while, I will follow Sister Yu out of the window. I have a friend in Spring Crocodile City that I sent to his home.
At that time, after our people are captured by the enemy, Sister Yu will think of a way to contact some of our friends to save us.
“By the way, I’ll catch all the enemies that have come this time and eliminate them in one fell swoop.” Wang Gongnan said.
