Chapter 277 The situation is deteriorating, so take the risk! 【24, please subscribe】
After one night
The once prosperous Xishan City was in complete chaos.
A large number of houses in the neighborhood were burned down, corpses everywhere, all kinds of stumps and broken arms can be seen everywhere, as if they have experienced a massacre war.
One after another, the survivors shivered and hid at home, daring not to go out.
The only sound in the street was the sound of wild dogs gnawing at corpses. The whole city seemed to be turned into a dead end. The atmosphere of despair shrouded everyone, inexplicably making the situation worse.
A start!
This situation does not have much impact on casual cultivators.
The weirdness of the night will automatically retreat once it encounters the evil spirit talisman. The casual cultivators did not suffer many casualties, but occasionally some people died in the internal fighting.
But as time goes by day by day!
The situation has become more and more difficult!
Hundreds of thousands of mortals in Xishan City died violently at an alarming rate. The reasons for the death were various, and the whole city was filled with an astonishing stench of corpses.
Gradually, casual cultivators were also affected!
First of all, food. Too much food was burned and left behind in the chaos of the city. Practitioners generally consumed a lot of food. Within a few days, many people ran out of food!
At this time, in order to fill the stomach!
They will naturally inevitably take risks.
At the beginning, the casual cultivators just entered the south and east of the city, searched for food in mortal houses, and occasionally killed a few mortals who dared to resist.
But slowly, their courage and ambition continued to expand!
Start to besiege stores in groups to rob supplies!
Start attacking the solitary monastery, burning, killing and looting!
The entire Xishan City was completely in chaos, and the Scarlet Red Sect did not respond to this. After their entire clan moved to a corner in the north of the city, they began to close their doors and let the turmoil continue.
Obviously, the Crimson Red Sect members also know how difficult it is to maintain normal order within the area covered by the mist, and they are probably too busy to take care of themselves now.
In this way, the ambition of people like Luo Tianxiong is further fueled!
In just half a month, 20 to 30 newly formed casual practice groups have popped up in Xishan City, with as many as seven or eight hundred people and as few as forty or fifty people.
They formed gangs and gathered people to protect themselves!
While oppressing the bottom casual cultivators, while cultivating private forces.
Attempt to rise up by force in this chaotic world.
For resources and territory, they fought countless private battles every day, which directly caused the prices of life-saving items such as magic tools, pills, talismans, and formation disks to skyrocket.
Of course, Lingmi is the one with the most price increase!
Because the monks in the Qi refining period cannot fast, the amount of spiritual rice they consume every day is so alarming that most casual cultivators have already started to use ordinary rice to satisfy their hunger, and some even cannot afford ordinary rice.
At this time, Lingmi has become a hard currency that is harder than Lingshi!
…
In the small courtyard
Lu Yan was gearing up excitedly, wandering around!
"Hahaha!" He laughed excitedly: "Grandma, guess what the price of Lingmi is now? The most common Huangya Lingmi in the past has now risen to 12 Lingshi a catty. It is a money grab! Our Lingmi The rice can be shipped, and it is guaranteed to make a lot of money at this time."
"Did you know? Now there are several underground black markets in the west of the city, and people want to buy rice every day. Even the worst ordinary rice has risen to 1 Lingshi 10 catties."
"It's only been half a month. If the mist is trapped for a few months, the price of Lingmi won't go up to sky-high prices?"
Wei Han was drinking some wine, his expression didn't change at all.
"Let's go out, we will start shipping later!" Wei Han said with a serious expression: "There are always seven or eight thousand casual practitioners in Xishan City, and there are also many body refiners among ordinary people. There may be forty to fifty thousand at present. People live in every corner, and they have to consume a lot of food every day."
"The surrounding area of Xishan City is surrounded by mountains. It is not a good grain-producing area. On weekdays, grain merchants have to rely on grain merchants to transport grain from the surrounding area to supply and sell it. Therefore, there is very little grain stored in the city."
"It's no wonder that food prices don't skyrocket after the turmoil. Although the price will still increase after a while, we have too much grain in storage, so we have to ship small-scale shipments from now on to avoid things being thrown into our hands. "
Lu Yan nodded in agreement.
He was also worried about this, so he was anxious to talk about it.
If the strange fog causes the population of the whole city to drop sharply again, and no one will buy food, it will not be fun to throw all their stocks into their hands.
"Right now food is more precious than elixir, but it's a good thing to save your life." Wei Han said in a deep voice, "So when you ship goods in the black market, you should pay attention to it and try not to attract the attention of outsiders. If you sell Fanmi, I will sell Lingmi. Bar!"
"This?" Lu Yan was a little surprised when he heard the words: "That's not the case, as long as I disguise myself every time I trade, I shouldn't be targeted."
"Don't be too careless." Wei Han reminded patiently: "Although you practice the breath-holding technique well, once you meet someone who has practiced the pupil technique, you can still see some flaws. Feet, I'm afraid you'll have your life to make money but not your life to spend!"
"But I'm different. I practice the breath-holding technique even more brilliantly. If it wasn't for someone who was an expert in the foundation-building stage to do it himself, I'm still sure that I can avoid the risk."
"When you sold Fanmi, you used the excuse that you found it from the ruins of the city. If you sold it for thirty to fifty catties at a time, no one would care too much about it, and it would be much better in terms of safety!"
Wei Han gave some persuasion!
In the end, Lu Yan could only nod in agreement.
Currently, he is only on the second level of Qi training, and there is still a big gap with Wei Han, which he has to admit.
"Remember, if you encounter danger, run to various hiding places. I have placed gold-eating ants in every hiding place. Once you escape, I will know!"
"At that time, you only need to hold on for a while, and I will arrive in a short time. No matter how bad it is, I can save your life!"
Wei Han exhorted patiently.
Lu Yan smiled, feeling relieved inexplicably.
He knows that Wei Han has a lot of cards. Although his strength may not be top-notch, his survivability is definitely strong enough. With him covering him, he can not be afraid of ordinary people.
"Let's go!"
Wei Han got up and walked out of the courtyard.
The two walked to different black markets, one on the left and the other on the right.
The streets of Sanxiufang City are still sparsely populated, except for the occasional passers-by who look hurried, there are also patrols under Luo Tianxiong.
Currently, 99% of the casual cultivators in the entire street have joined Luo Tianxiong's command.
Only Wei Han, Lu Yan and a few other rogue cultivators are stubborn and solitary.
So when he passed by, the patrol members all looked at him with a trace of alienation and disgust.
"Hey, stop, where did you come from?" A patrol member questioned deliberately provocatively.
Wei Han stopped, and just looked over with a blank expression.
The patrol member sneered: "Why? Are you not convinced? Our joint self-protection patrol team is to ensure the safety of the neighbors. Who knows where you are from? Show your ID card and house rental procedures."
Wei Han still looked at the other party expressionlessly.
His expression didn't change at all, but his eyes gradually became colder!
The other party knew him, so saying this deliberately was just to find fault.
But just when Wei Han was about to attack, Luo Tianxiong's voice came from a distant teahouse: "Dian Daoyou is not a member of our Self-Defense Association, let him go!"
"yes!"
Everyone in the patrol team agreed in deep voices.
Wei Han and Luo Tianxiong looked at each other with a smile that was not a smile, both sides' pupils contained emotions that were difficult for outsiders to see through, and they turned around and left after a few seconds.
