Hey!Long Jun, please wait a moment

All of a sudden, all the orcs couldn't help staring at Ao Xuan's palm:

He actually picked the dragon fruit first?Oh, no way, first come, first served...

But Ao Yi was a little stunned, and instead took a step back.

"Isn't it a dragon fruit?" Ao Xuan was a little disappointed, and explained: "I found these when I was looking for Zhilian, and it looks very similar to the dragon fruit you talked about—"

"That's the dragon fruit." Ao Yi hurriedly pointed out.

Xiao You stood behind Ao Yi with a complicated expression.

"Great! Here it is for you." Ao Xuan immediately took a step forward, wanting to stuff things into the opponent's hand.

It happened suddenly... Ahem, the point is not a bad thing: we came here for the dragon fruit, and now Ao Xuan voluntarily gave it away. The kindness is hard to turn down, so let's accept it, shall we?

With this in mind, the guard dragons didn't stop them and acquiesced.

But the Ying people have some opinions: We came here for the dragon fruit, and the dragon fruit can be exchanged for pearls. The cold season is coming soon, and the old, weak and young in the tribe need enough pearls to cure their illnesses and save their lives...

Xiao You turned his head and took a look, reminding the clansmen to calm down.

"Huh?" Ao Yi quickly put his hands behind his back, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Give it to me? You picked it yourself, what are you doing for me?"

Ao Xuan's eyes were full of smiles, and he said sincerely: "I don't need this, didn't you come to pick it on purpose? Then I will give it to you. Back then, I couldn't get the gift, but you didn't make things difficult for me, and you helped me so much... Therefore, this should be regarded as a supplementary salute."

"Actually, these three dragon fruits can be—" before Ao Yi finished reminding, the other party put the dragon fruit into the hand of Rong Ji who was next to him. He didn't say anything, he was not good at asserting himself, so he could only watch Ao Yi eagerly.

"—In exchange for two or three times more Haili." Ao Yi insisted on finishing.

"That's not how it works." Ao Xuan was very sober, "If you hadn't helped me back then, I wouldn't be where I am now."

The two sides refused to see-saw for a long time.

Ao Yi didn't want to accept it, after all, to the Hai Clan, dragon fruit is very precious.But the other party repeatedly emphasized that it was just a gift to the sea. In the end, seeing that he was anxious and disappointed, Ao Yi had to think of a compromise: accept three dragon fruits, and promised the other party two more opportunities to enter and exit the Sicilian Sea.

As a result, it was inevitable that the orcs' eyes on Ao Xuan changed—ah!So he really didn't come to pick the dragon fruit?So is there really Zhilian in the swamp?

After some delay, according to the original plan, the orcs quickly divided into teams of four and scattered along the edges of several hillsides.

"Be careful, concentrate, and beware of crocodile beasts. The medicine bags are all hung on the chest. If you find something wrong, retreat immediately and don't force your way." Ao Yi instructed the guard Longdao.

"Yes!"

Xiao You over there also said: "Life is important, crocodiles are ferocious, if they are dragged into the swamp, it will be too late to rescue them."

"Understood, patriarch rest assured."

After a while, a group of orcs disbanded on the spot along the established route.There is another advantage of having Yingmen in the team, that is, you can send two Yingmen to circle the sky, condescending, and if there is any abnormal situation, you can quickly find it.

*****

The leader is of course the first team, Xiao You is worried about handing over Ao Yi to other tribesmen, because Ao Yi is a sea tribe after all, and he is not familiar with the land.

However, why did the strange dragon follow behind?

"Ao Xuan, aren't you looking for Zhilian?" It was Rong Ji who asked curiously.After the strange dragon handed over the three dragon fruits just now, Rong Ji suddenly felt that the other party was not just a "foreign dragon of unknown origin".

"Well, I'm looking for it." Ao Xuan said while rummaging through the swamp mud at the foot of the mountain.

Rong Ji shrugged, noncommittal, and strode to keep up with the team in front.

Xiao You glanced back and said nothing.

Performing this task is dangerous and boring, without any distraction.

With a "crash", a hidden crocodile suddenly jumped out, and its sharp teeth attacked the nearest orc.

"careful!"

"Back off!"

"Boom~", "Broken", "Plop"

Several voices sounded at the same time.

"Are you okay?" Ao Yi asked with his hands back, he just quickly swung a small bone knife at the crocodile, which hit its wide open mouth.

"No, it's nothing." The orc was terrified, and stared at the struggling crocodile in the swamp with fear.

"Don't be distracted!" Xiao You solemnly ordered, he just shot the crocodile in the eye with a bone knife.

Then they all looked back at Ao Xuan——was it you who sent out the skates?

"...I was in a hurry." Facing many questioning eyes, Ao Xuan quickly explained.

"Hey, take it easy." Ao Yi couldn't help reminding, "There are so many crocodiles in this valley, you don't know how long you will have to stay, you have to conserve your energy."

"I remember." Ao Xuanxin said that at that moment just now, I was worried that you would be bitten.

*****

After the rain, the sky cleared, which originally made the orcs cheer wildly.

However, the sky is getting clearer and clearer, the sun is rising to the top of the head, the sun is hot, and the valley is extremely hot and humid, with all kinds of smells.In the end, the orcs' sense of smell almost failed.

Tiredness, suffering, and physical and mental suffering, these orcs can bear it.

But what I can't bear is: compared with the past, the harvest this time is very rare.

——Having been busy for a long time, after dealing with so many crocodiles, being dizzy and oppressed by the poisonous gas, and splashed with stinky mud all over, I only found two dragon fruits!

Two!

What is enough for?You must know that the single North Sea dragons have to exchange dozens of them each time... Although the North Sea is remote, it is rich in mineral deposits. There are also North Seas that are not produced in the Sicilian Sea. The cooperative relationship between the two parties is relatively stable...

Ao Xuan also found nothing.He rummaged in the swamp for a long time, but he didn't even see Zhilian except that he was nearly dragged down by the ambushing crocodile countless times.

"Let's take a break, it's too hot." Ao Yi wanted to wipe his sweat with his hands, but found that his hands were covered with mud, so he had to give up.

Xiao You whistled, attracting the high-altitude Yingren to come down and let him inform the teams to take a break.

"Drink some water." Xiao You urged Ao Yi in a low voice.

"Well." Ao Yi found a place to sit down, took out the water bag, raised his neck and poured a few mouthfuls, sighed: "It was raining before, I hope the rain will stop; now the sky is fine, I think it will be cloudy !” After speaking, he swept his eyes again, and saw that Ao Xuan was still not far behind.

Because the goals of the two parties are different, there is a distance between them.

Ao Yi turned his head to take a look, couldn't help but take another look, then suddenly stood up:

- isn't it?Could it be that he didn't bring clean water into the Crocodile Valley? ?
