What hits your face is a strong smell of alcohol and meat, as well as the smell of cooking broth, mixed with the smell of human sweat, body odor, foot smell, and the strange pictures hanging on the walls of the tavern. The leathery smell of the beast.
The weird smell that almost solidified almost knocked Lao Bai off his feet.
Lao Bai, who had a sensitive sense of smell, stood at the door of the tavern. He was stiff and dazed for a while, and then he blinked and looked around with a trace of tears.
The tavern is built of black boulders, with thick walls, a heavy roof, and beams made of metal are neatly arranged above the head. Under the dark beams hang huge round lampstands with lights on them. Full of oil lamps.
Square tables and long tables made of metal are neatly stacked in the tavern. At a glance, there are at least two to three hundred huge tables in the long tavern, and every table is full. A man with a strong face.
Scantily clad women swayed their waists and walked around the crowd with smiles on their faces.
They either carried wine barrels on their shoulders, or carried huge trays filled with various kinds of barbecue, stew, sausages and other foods.
Once someone said hello, they would fill the huge empty wine glasses raised by the big men with fine wine, and at the same time draw two strokes on the animal skins hanging by the table.
Likewise, once someone greeted someone, the woman holding the tray picked up a sharp short knife, severely chopped off a few pieces of steaming meat, threw it heavily on the tray in front of the big men, and then simply cut it on the animal skin hanging by the table. Keep an account.
In the Wa Valley, those people with great influence and noble status all live in stone buildings near the Wa Palace. They have their own social circles and will not come to such chaotic occasions.
The people hanging around in this tavern are either the guards around the big shots, mercenaries who come from afar to seek opportunities to make a fortune, or some other miscellaneous people.
The staff is complex, the moral standards are not high, and fights often occur.
Lao Bai tightened the belt around his waist, touched the poison-tempered dagger inserted in his belt, and walked cautiously towards the long counter in the middle of the tavern.
A big man who was two meters tall and as round as a mountain of flesh stood behind the counter. He used a piece of linen cloth to wipe a stone wine glass vigorously. The wine glass, which was the size of an ordinary person's head, was polished until it was polished.
When Lao Bai came in, the big man had already noticed him. When Lao Bai came to the counter, avoiding the rushing big men, the big man put the wine glass in his hand on the counter, put his left elbow on the counter, and leaned his body sideways. Looking at Lao Bai.
"You're so angry, you just came here? Wa Valley is a good place... As long as you are a capable man, you can make a fortune." The big man said angrily: "As long as you are a good man, you can make a fortune... If you are lucky enough to find As a woman from the Wa tribe, you will have nothing to worry about in your life."
Before Lao Bai could speak, the big man had already slapped the table and laughed loudly: "However, the women of the Wa tribe will never find a rat man who is not as tall as their thighs... Hahaha, hahaha!"
Several strong men at the long tables beside the counter, several individual customers sitting at the counter, and seven or eight hot-looking girls nearby laughed at the same time.
They looked at Lao Bai who was at a loss and laughed even louder.
"Ratman...still a ratman..."
"Hahaha, look at how skinny he is..."
"Hey, old guy, the dagger on your waist is good, but can you still kill people?"
"Tsk, I think he was born with a rat face that needs a beating..."
Several drunken and red-faced burly men stood up and swayed their arms and walked up to Lao Bai. A burly man knelt down on one knee in front of Lao Bai, lowered his head and put his round, red cheeks against Lao Bai's face. Less than three inches in front.
"Well, what are you doing here? Old guy, this is where our young men come, what are you doing here?"
Lao Bai took a step back.
As a former leader of the rat tribe who led his tribe to survive in the wilderness and allowed the tribe to continue to multiply and grow, Lao Bai's first choice when encountering trouble is not force, but reasoning... The second choice is if truth is spoken... If it doesn't work, then run away as fast as possible...
Unless he is in a desperate situation, Lao Bai will not choose violence easily.
Even if these drunken men had their necks exposed in front of Lao Bai, just a slight dagger scratch on their necks, with the rotten bone marrow poison tempered on the dagger, even if it was just a trace of injury. Skin can make them die suddenly on the spot...
Lao Bai chose to be reasonable.
"Everyone, I'm here to find someone..." Lao Bai laughed a few times and rubbed his hands vigorously: "I'm looking for a brother named Jin Coin."
It was Jin Coin who spread the news through special channels that someone was looking for Wu Tie in Wa Valley, and this person was entrusted by Wu Jin to look for Wu Tie.
Lao Bai thought that since he was in Wa Valley, it would be better to come and see the gold coins.
Of course, he is not thinking about the gold coins for the bounty; he is definitely not thinking about the gold coins for the bounty...
Okay, maybe he is a little worried about those gold coins, but the rat people in the world are one family. Now that they have come to Wa Valley, they still need to contact the rat brothers here. Maybe everyone can help each other sometime
Several drunken men were stunned. The man kneeling in front of Lao Bai suddenly laughed: "Hey... someone is looking for gold coins! Lao Luo, someone is looking for gold coins... He still owes you a lot of money, right?"
On one side of the counter and at the other end of the tavern, there is a relatively spacious square space between more than twenty long tables. There was a long table that was several times larger than an ordinary table. Nearly a hundred men and women were gathered around the long table, shouting loudly.
The shouts of the drunkards made the clamoring men and women shut up at the same time, and all of them turned around and looked this way.
The crowd suddenly separated to the left and right. A burly man, with skin as dark as an iron tower, a black eyepatch on one eye, and a hideous scar on his upper body, played with three dice the size of a baby's fist, and walked over step by step as he separated from the crowd.
A few shirtless men with sinister features and sinister looks on their faces, who looked like they were not good people, followed the tower-like man, walking over step by step with weird smiles.
"Oh, a rat man?" Lao Luo, the big man from the Iron Tower, slapped the counter. He looked at the meaty man and smiled: "Old Jiu, this is the second rat man in your tavern. It's worth celebrating. For a moment... Hahaha, besides the gold coin guy, a second ratman actually came into your tavern... "
Old Jiu laughed "hehe" a few times, shook his head, grabbed the stone wine glass and continued to wipe it with linen cloth.
Lao Luo shook his head, looked down at Lao Bai, and said angrily: "Are you looking for gold coins? What's the matter?"
Before Lao Bai could speak, Lao Luo had already grinned: "I understand, you are also a rat, and the gold coin is also a rat. Well, are you his relative?"
Lao Bai blinked his eyes and said with a smart smile: "Of course, I have never met him. I just came to him to get some news... I'm sorry, if he has conflicts with you, I don't know him."
Lao Bai took two steps back and was about to leave the tavern.
He regretted a little. He should have listened to Wu Tie and not come looking for the gold coin guy unless necessary... Anyway, Wu Tie had already arrived at Wa Valley. He had found his mother and learned about Wu Jin. What was he doing? What's more
A big hand suddenly pressed on Lao Bai's shoulder, then a second hand, a third hand...
Several drunken men stretched out their hands, pressed Lao Bai's shoulders and neck randomly, and grabbed him tightly.
"Hey, Lao Luo is talking to you, you can't run away!" Several drunk men laughed happily: "Old guy... Hehe... Old guy..."
Lao Luo is two meters tall, while Lao Bai is only one meter tall. Basically, one arm of Lao Luo is stronger than Lao Bai's entire body. Lao Luo took a step forward. He seemed to feel that the height difference was too big and it was difficult to talk to Lao Bai. He said 'hmm'.
A few drunk men picked up Lao Bai and lifted him to the same height as Lao Luo.
"You know gold coins... This is good." Lao Luo reached out and slapped Lao Bai on the face: "He owes me... how many gold coins?"
Several men behind Lao Luo laughed at the same time. A man with a mouth full of rotten teeth and sores at the corners of his eyes, with pus constantly oozing out, laughed strangely: "Boss, that guy owes you the gold coins." Our gambling debt totals twenty gold coins... plus interest, that's twenty... no, two hundred... "
Lao Bai is such a smart person. As soon as he heard this man's words, he knew that he was being maliciously blackmailed.
Shaking his head, Lao Bai said dryly: "Hey, listen, I have never seen gold coins. I have nothing to do with him. His gambling debts..."
Lao Luo put his hand on Lao Bai's shoulder, and said to Lao Bai seriously: "You are a rat man, and he is also a rat man. You come here to find him... In the past so many years, no rat man has come here. Over gold coins, so you are related to him...are you his relative?"
"It's a relative, so that's the best thing. You have to help him pay off the gambling debt of two hundred gold coins. Well, of course, I know that you rat people are very poor and have a very difficult life. It's not easy... So, you The soft armor is pretty good.”
Lao Luo looked at the soft armor on Lao Bai's body with bright eyes.
This is a set of high-quality python leather armor, and it is made of python skin that almost turns into a dragon. It is also a soft armor specially made for Lao Bai by the master craftsmen of the Lu family.
There is a faint layer of fluorescence on the surface of the black soft armor, which is a sign unique to the addition of powerful runes. This is a fine Yuanbing armor.
"Are you mistaken?" Lao Bai looked at Lao Luo in astonishment: "You want to steal my equipment? But, can you wear my armor?"
Lao Bai could not understand the thinking of Lao Luo and others.
"Yes, there is a big difference in our body shapes. But good things can always be taken." Lao Luo smiled and looked at Lao Bai: "Oh, no, I said the wrong thing..."
Lao Luo gave himself a gentle slap. He looked at Lao Bai and said seriously: "Your soft armor is probably worth one gold coin? So, you still owe us one hundred and ninety-nine gold coins... Let us see. Look, what else is valuable on you?"
Lao Bai looked at Lao Luo with wide eyes.
A gold coin
Although the soft armor on his body uses relatively few materials due to his size, a piece of python skin that is almost like a dragon's skin is worth nearly a thousand gold coins in the Cangyan Domain.
Even if the gold coins from Cangyan Domain are slightly smaller and less pure than the gold snake stones from Wa Valley, they are still worth hundreds of gold snake stones.
Not to mention, this is a carefully forged Yuan Bing soft armor, and the price will at least triple.
This is extortion, this is extortion, Lao Bai knows it very well.
His body swayed, and the bones near his shoulders clicked several times. The big men holding his shoulders felt their hands were empty, and Lao Bai slipped out of their hands inexplicably.
Then Lao Bai bent down and easily slipped out from between the legs of a big man, heading straight for the door of the tavern.
Several drunkards were in a daze, and their movements were extremely slow. Lao Bai fled far away, and they could not turn around.
Lao Luo raised his eyebrows, and the three dice he was playing with suddenly flashed a faint light. He clenched his fist and let go, and the three dice suddenly disappeared with a 'swish', and then suddenly appeared above Lao Bai's head.
One dice pressed down on the top of the head, and two dice, one left and one right, pressed down on the shoulders.
It was like a hill was pressing down on his head. The old white monster, who was thin and had little natural strength, screamed and was crushed by the three dice and fell to the ground. His forehead was hit on the ground and he almost fainted. .
The three dice were crushed down so hard that all the bones in Lao Bai's body clicked.
If Lao Bai hadn't been practicing the "Phaseless Bone Demon Sutra" these days, some subtle changes had occurred in his body, and all the bones in his body would have been shattered by this blow.
Lao Bai screamed, his body shook suddenly, his bones became like running water, his body was like a spiritual snake, he suddenly took off all his clothes and armor, and instantly got rid of the confinement of the three dice and ran away go out.
Several men behind Lao Luo had already caught up with him, and Lao Bai had just taken off his clothes and armor to escape. They all pulled out daggers, daggers, and daggers from their waists, and beat him at Lao Bai with shaking hands.
These men are all at the Senxuan realm and have already developed magic power.
Several daggers, daggers, and daggers brought a long cold light across Lao Bai's body. Blood splattered on Lao Bai's body, and large pieces of flesh and white hair flew up at the same time.
Lao Bai screamed in pain. He regretted ten thousand times why he came to this damn tavern just for the gold coins.
His body swayed, and his innate magical power, Shadow Escape, was deployed. His body was suddenly submerged in a wisp of shadow, and he ran away without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"Oh? Ran away?" Lao Luo smiled triumphantly and grabbed the clothes, armor and dagger left by Lao Bai.
"However, these things are still worth a lot... Laojiu, I invite all the brothers to have a drink!" Lao Luo laughed and raised the equipment that originally belonged to Lao Bai.
