Chapter 249: The drops received in need will be paid back with aw

“Report about the victim has come out; now, we live with one hundred and thirty-seven people, of whom seventy-eight are Gu Masters and fifty-nine are humans.” A deputy leader reported to everyone.

At this moment, in this tattered tent, the surviving caravan leaders gathered together, discussing their options.

The atmosphere is heavy and oppressive.

Caravan leader Jia Long frowned and his brows nearly stiffened when he heard the report.

Their caravan was originally a large-sized caravan with over a thousand people, but now the number had become miserable. One might think seventy-eight Gu Masters were quite a high number, but only twelve were rank three Gu Masters, twenty-eight was rank two and the remaining thirty-eight were all rank one Gu Masters.

This number included all the injured and disabled Gu Masters. In fact, the number of Master Gu still maintaining their strength did not reach half that.

Mortal life was cheap, they could leave these servants behind, but Master Gu was different.

Every Master Gu was a valuable resource to their clan, they could not be left behind.

Jia Long knew this flawed Gu Masters to be a huge burden to the caravan, he said, and it only adds more trouble to the logistics department of the already collapsed caravan to save their lives and treat their injuries.

However, Jia Long did not dare to leave them, if he left the Gu Masters, their morale would be completely destroyed and all the remaining Master Gu would feel insecure; the entire caravan would collapse. Their end result was food for the group of ferocious beasts.

This time the deputy leader who had reported the statistics diverted the conversation: “Untai course there are still many items left in the caravan. If we distribute these ownerless goods, then the ancient stones we distribute will be enough to cover most of our losses. “

In the calamity that occurred before, there were many casualties but the loss of goods was even small.

If the goods are distributed evenly, the survivors can benefit from this.

Almost everyone present in the tent had shining eyes now.

Traders pursue profits, even if they are in danger, this innate nature does not change.

A group of people started to look at each other before deputy leader Chen Shuang Jin coughed: “I feel that the equivalent distribution is not appropriate. In the previous battle, my Chen Clan had sacrificed the most and had also killed the whiteest feathers of flying elephants. I want at least thirty percent of these ownerless items! “

“Thirty percent?”

“Must be!”

“How much sacrifice did your Chen Clan make? What about my Wei Chi Clan who has to sacrifice a second rank peak stage genius?”

“No matter what, our Zhi Clan demands twenty percent.”

  . . .

The commotion in the tent started to turn into a dispute. Everyone feels greed in front of profits.

Only Shang Xin Ci sat quietly in the group.

The stronger group demands more; the weaker group demands equalization.

The dispute became increasingly fierce and even attracted many inquisitive gazes from outside the tent.

Shang Xin Ci suddenly stood up.

The tent suddenly calmed down.

“Everything,” Shang Xin Ci's beautiful eyes swept over everyone, “the urgent thing is not the distribution of these items but how we should keep going forward. There will probably be more groups of beasts in the next moment! We are in the same boat and bound by destiny. However, our individual strengths are limited, so we need to work together to have a chance of survival. “

He paused for a moment and continued, “I suggest that we all will donate our belongings and take things that can help us. The moment I proposed it, my Zhang Clan would act as an example; I am willing to contribute all the items I have without asking for compensation. “

“What?”

“Free contribution ?!”

In a moment, many became stiff-tongued; chen Shuang Jin, Jia Long and the others all showed different expressions.

“I am tired, I hope everyone can immediately agree on an effective method. I'll go.” Saying this, Shang Xin Ci nodded her head and opened the lid of the tent.

He had not even walked five steps out of the tent, when a huge commotion broke out within the tent.

Now that the Zhang Clan items were also added to the list, the benefits became even higher, leaving everyone panicking.

Shang Xin Ci's steps slowed down, but she simply clenched her fists and let out a long sigh.

He is also a trader and naturally wants to pursue profits. What was called ‘voluntary contributions’ before is of course not touching the heart.

It was just that the current situation had forced him. He was like a child carrying a lot of money and had no choice but to protect himself as he walked among the adults.

When he walked back to his tent, he saw Xiao Die curled up and crying in the corner, her eyes red.

She had grown up and lived with Shang Xin Ci for most of her life. The horrors of the flying elephant's white feathers exploded now.

“Xiao Die.” Shang Xin Ci sighed and sat down beside her, comforting.

“Nona, I'm scared. Cry crying .. LORD Zhang Zhu has not returned, impossible, impossible.. “Xiao Die buried his head in Shang Xin Ci's chest while crying bitter tears.

Shang Xin Ci patted his back and said a word of comfort, but Xiao Die still continued to cry.

“Xiao Die, Uncle Zhang Zhu may never return again,” Shang Xin Ci said in a heavy tone.

The moment these words were spoken, he clearly felt Xiao Die's body shiver.

“Nona... that is not true, it is impossible!” Xiao Die raised her head, her eyes were red and she repeatedly shook her head.

“Depend on ourselves? But we are both humans, if not for LORDZhang Zhu, we cannot even begin this expedition. “Xiao Die said with teary eyes, low spirits.

“You're right. If not for Uncle Zhang Zhu's identity, how could these people allow me to become one of the vice-leaders. Xiao Die, you are right, we are humans; but humans also have power!” Shang Xin Ci's gaze shone with a resolute light.

He looked at Xiao Die with his bright gaze and shook Xiao Die's arm: “Xiao Die, do you believe me?”

As Xiao Die looked towards the current Shang Xin Ci, she felt an unknown strength fill her.

This power came from Shang Xin Ci and then seeped into his body, affecting his heart and making him feel like he was being illuminated by the light.

“Missy ..” Xiao Die's gaze lit up, she had never seen this woman's form; at this moment, she felt that her woman looked even prettier than before.

“I believe you!” He answered softly but firmly.

“Good. Listen carefully, we are in a dangerous situation now, sometimes people can be more terrible than wild animals. Bring all our savings and let's find Hei Tu and Bai Yun.”

“OK. I'll do as you say miss!”

  . . .

After about five minutes.

In the tent, Fang Yuan and Shang Xin Ci were sitting cross-legged.

Fang Yuan stared as he pondered towards the beautiful girl in front of him: “You said, you have already donated all our items for free? For that insatiable hyena?”

“Ya, it is so.” Shang Xin Ci calmly admitted.

Fang Yuan's lips curved, his gaze towards Shang Xin Ci filled with admiration.

He was really smart, had the resolution to let go!

Zhang Zhu was already dead, Shang Xin Ci was only an ordinary human and even if he represented the Zhang Clan, his position was not the same as the other vice leaders.

It would be easy for this Master Gu to swallow Shang Xin Ci's property.

They were going to kill Shang Xin Ci and blame the group of beasts, no one could say anything at that. The Zhang Clan would also not thoroughly investigate just for Shang Xin Ci.

To Shang Xin Ci, these items in her hands had become extremely hot and could inflict disaster on her. Therefore, he wisely chose to hand over the cause of this disaster to others, and guarantee his safety.

However, he was well aware that this type of safety was completely unreliable and hence came here.

“I came here to apologize to you, I'm really sorry.” Shang Xin Ci bowed towards Fang Yuan, “You borrowed these items, so these items should be yours, but I roughly handled the matter into my own hands. sorry, I'm asking you to accept this. “

Shang Xin Ci put forward two wooden sticks.

Without opening it, Fang Yuan knew that these stalks were filled with ancient stones.

Most of it was what he obtained for himself as well as fifty-fifty percent of Shang Xin Ci's shares.

Fang Yuan could not help but observe Shang Xin Ci.

Their gazes met each other in midair, gradually becoming a tacit understanding.

They are both intelligent and understand things without having to say them.

In Shang Xin Ci's perception, Fang Yuan deliberately hid his identity and was very likely to become Master Gu. From all his behavior until now, Shang Xin Ci felt herself a reliable person. If there was someone who could still help him, Fang Yuan was undoubtedly the best choice because he felt comfortable towards him.

However, he also felt anxious. Firstly, he did not know what strength Fang Yuan really possessed; there was a huge difference between rank one, rank two or rank three. Secondly, there must have been some painful background stories for Fang Yuan to conceal his identity, so he might not have needed to reveal his identity to help him.

Shang Xin Ci had presented all of her items without obtaining Fang Yuan's approval, and after obtaining the most basic security guarantee, she took out all of her savings to find Fang Yuan. He said it was his apology, but this action had actually invited Fang Yuan to his side, hoping to get his help.

He knew Fang Yuan and he were the same type of person, and could arrive at a tacit understanding of smart people.

The two looked at each other for a long time before Fang Yuan smiled and broke the silence: “This ancient rock, it is better that Madam Zhang take it back.”

Shang Xin Ci's expression paled slightly as her heart sank.

From his understanding, Fang Yuan rejecting this ancient stone meant that he refused to help him.

But what can he do?

Even if he talked about it, Fang Yuan had paid it off many times; there were only a few people in the world who would do this. Shang Xin Ci could not demand anything.

However, if Hei Tu did not help him, who else was there? Bai Yun's? It was not like working, they seemed to have a very intimate relationship; forward or backward together.

Shang Xin Ci could not think of anyone else, a bitter smile appeared on her beautiful appearance: “I understand. But this ancient stone is my gift to you. Ordinary people holding treasures will face disaster, if you don't accept them, I might have to contribute as well. “

Fang Yuan laughed: “Miss Zhang, you misunderstood me. When Bai Yun and I had just entered the caravan, we were severely injured and barely hung on a thread. Our strength had fallen to an all-time low and our items were flattened out. coveted by some powerful servants. Really, when you are low and low, it even comes to bluffing you. You are the one protecting us and giving us enough time to recover. It is not wrong to see this help as saving our lives . “

“And I am someone who returns kindness and takes revenge for hostility. Although you are human, I acknowledge You and even admire You. It is our destiny to meet each other among such a large population. The drops the water received in need will become paid back with the entire spring, let alone help to save a life. Take back the ancient stone, I will definitely protect you with all my strength! “

“Ah...” Shang Xin Ci could not help but cry softly.

Her eyelashes shook and her eyes reddened, shedding tears.

Due to his tears, Fang Yuan looked blurry in his vision. However, in his heart, Fang Yuan's image became very clear.
