Searching for someone
As we get closer to Blackwater Bay, the number of boats becomes more and more numerous. In addition to the human race from the Shenwu Dongzhou Zixuan Dynasty, the forces from the Nanzhou Beast Alliance, Xizhou Ming Dynasty, and Beizhou Spirit Clan will all come here by boat.
The ghost ship has also become inconspicuous.
Blackwater Bay Pier is quite prosperous, with many large ships moored and a constant stream of business travelers coming in and out. There are many human business groups and some orc business groups, all of which enter the city in a big way.
These are unimaginable scenes anywhere else.
But in this place, Blackwater Bay, it is surprisingly peaceful. Everyone is accustomed to it and won't take a second look at the aliens.
Blackwater Bay has the rules of Blackwater Bay, and race wars are not allowed to take place here.
Ye Fan got off the ghost ship, dressed in the clothes of an ordinary wealthy businessman, with a bulging animal skin bag on his waist, and walked into Blackwater City with a worried look.
The top priority now is to find Gu Xinyue first.
It's just that Blackwater City is huge and its forces are extremely complex. It would be very difficult for him to find Gu Xinyue in Blackwater City, a city with a population of one million. If you're not familiar with the place, you can't find it.
He needs to think of something.
There are no guards at the gate of Blackwater City.
Even if they were fighting in the city, no one would control them.
Normally there are no guards in the city, but if a foreign enemy attempts to invade the city, the Blackwater Alliance will order everyone in the city to fight. The strength of millions of people above the honorable level is enough to give any force a headache.
At the gate of Blackwater City, a thin man with sinister eyebrows and sly eyes was leaning lazily on the foot of the city wall, seemingly resting in the sun, but his cunning eyes were secretly observing the crowds of people entering and exiting Blackwater City.
Most of the people entering and leaving the city are merchants in caravans, and they are accompanied by groups of bodyguards, so they are not easy to mess with.
If you are caught stealing property by a caravan, you will be beaten to death.
His strength is very low, only at the martial master level, and he can only attack ordinary wealthy businessmen with low strength.
Suddenly the thin man's eyes lit up and he saw Ye Fan who was walking into the city alone, looking worried and unlucky.
Such a businessman who walks into the city alone like a headless fly is the perfect target to attack.
The thin man looked at Ye Fan, but he couldn't tell how high Ye Fan's cultivation was. Judging from his dress, he was an ordinary wealthy businessman, and would never exceed the realm of Marquis Wu.
It is also recognized that the combat effectiveness of businessmen is relatively low. Even if he is discovered, a businessman from out of town can't do anything to him.
"This is supposed to be a big fat sheep, but we can't let anyone else get there first!"
The sinister-looking man was ecstatic, worried about being targeted by other gangsters in Blackwater City, and immediately followed him.
He followed Ye Fan several hundred feet to the main street in the city.
The streets were crowded with vehicles, people and beasts, and from time to time it was necessary to avoid some large convoys or huge beasts.
Ye Fan was avoiding an orc convoy.
The thin man passed by Ye Fan in an instant. The blade in his hand was smooth, and he silently cut open the animal skin bag, and used a stone to replace a small package inside the animal skin bag.
"succeed!"
The sinister-looking man suddenly felt ecstatic, stuffed it into his arms, quickly turned around and disappeared into a nearby alley.
Then he turned left and right and ran through several alleys before stopping.
He looked around to see if there was no one, and quickly took out the small package from his arms and opened it.
"Haha, it happened! A third-level medicinal herb, Youshen, is worth at least tens of thousands of yuan stones! It's enough to cover my expenses for more than half a year! That fool actually put such a good thing in the beast's bag, he must be with Shang The team got lost and I was wandering around like a headless chicken. I got a big advantage!"
The thin man took out a black ginseng from the small bag and couldn't help but be happy.
This kind of dark ginseng grows in extremely cold places, and the yin energy is so heavy that humans will hardly eat it. But the ghosts like this thing very much and are willing to pay a high price to buy it.
For a Martial Lord like him, tens of thousands of Yuan Stones are a huge fortune. Even if it is extravagant and wasteful, drinking wine everywhere is enough to spend more than half a year.
"It's quite valuable, you want it?!"
A faint laugh sounded behind the thin man.
The thin man couldn't help but feel happy while holding the ginseng. He didn't pay attention to the voice that suddenly came out from behind, "Ah!" He was almost scared out of his wits and even dropped the ginseng in his hand.
He rolled out several feet, and when he looked back, it was the young wealthy businessman who looked very ordinary, looking at him with a faint smile.
"Are you a human or a ghost?"
The thin man was in shock.
He is a wind warrior who is good at sneaking.
Someone appeared silently behind him without realizing it. This person's cultivation level was countless times higher than his. I'm afraid he was at least a wind master at the Wuhou realm or above.
"What, you don't want this good thing?"
Ye Fan picked up a ginseng on the ground and smiled.
This ghost ginseng was a gift from the ghost wolf beasts in the dark forest to Da Hui, but Da Hui didn't eat it at all, so he kept it in his storage ring. He still has a lot of things like this on hand and doesn't need them.
The thin man stared at the mysterious ginseng in Ye Fan's hand, thinking that it was worth tens of thousands of Yuan stones, he struggled for a while, and gradually his face turned hard.
If you can't steal it, then just rob it!
Even if they are Wuhou's cultivation base, most merchants' cultivation bases are made of medicinal materials, and their combat effectiveness is not strong. Maybe it was because of his dirty tricks.
"Don't dare!"
The thin man said humbly. Suddenly, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he pulled out a dagger with a cold light in his hand, and stabbed Ye Fan suddenly.
Ye Fan's eyes were slightly cold, and he grabbed the thin man's wrist with his free hand and twisted it gently.
"Ah~~!!"
The thin man's wrists were swollen, like an ant being pinched by a giant beast, and his whole body was twisted.
Finally realizing that he had provoked someone he could not afford to offend, he couldn't help but scream in pain, "Master, I was wrong, please spare my life! Don't kill me. I am a member of the Butcher Gang, the largest human gang in Blackwater City. Do you know the Butcher Gang?" Gang? The strongest human gang in Blackwater City! If you kill me, my gang leader will definitely hunt you down throughout the city!"
"The Butcher Gang? Stop trying to scare me with the Butcher Gang!"
Ye Fan's eyes flashed, this guy was actually a member of the Butcher Gang.
But so what!
He put more force on his hands and said coldly: "You were very careful to avoid people all the way, and no one saw you here. Even if I crush you to ashes, no one will notice now. Maybe your boss I thought you had defected, and I was tracking your whereabouts everywhere."
"No, if you have something to say, please say it. Don't crush the little one's hand! You made a mistake, admit it! Just say whatever you want."
The thin man suddenly screamed in pain, crying and feeling extremely regretful.
I don't know whether he regretted stealing Ye Fan's things, or regretted hiding in this secluded alley where no one passed. No one would know if he was really killed.
"Go find someone for me. I can give you this mysterious ginseng! Don't tell me you can't do it. A sneaky person like you must be very familiar with Blackwater City, so you are the best at finding people."
Ye Fan said calmly.
No matter where you are, there will always be such gangsters. He deliberately dressed up like a wealthy businessman to attract some local street gangsters to show up and use their manpower to help find people.
The thin man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Mark didn't want to kill him, but just wanted him to help find someone, so he couldn't help but said with a playful smile.
"Oh, it turns out that I want to find someone in Blackwater City, and I deliberately show off my wealth to lure you in. I told you earlier! With so much money, let alone someone, you can even find a ghost! This is near the gate of Blackwater City I know all the human gangsters in the area, so it's not easy to mobilize the brothers to find them. Who are you looking for?"
