Chapter 2418 Greed (two chapters in one)(1/2)
The golden sun spreads sunshine to the earth, and the fighting beasts caused considerable damage. Many flowers, plants and trees around the battlefield where they fought were destroyed and turned into a mess.
Lin Fei stood in the sky and watched the fight between the strange beasts for a while.
When he was about to leave, he noticed many small black spots appearing on the ground in the distance.
"What is that?"
Because the distance was a bit far and the eyes could not see clearly, Lin Fei opened the dimensional space and took out a pair of telescopes to observe.
With the help of the telescope, Lin Fei could clearly see what the small black dots on the ground in the distance were.
Several figures wearing clothes woven from leaves moved quietly, approaching the location of the fighting beasts.
Lin Fei looked at the behavior of these people and knew that they were probably planning to capture the two beasts in one fell swoop when both were injured.
"roar……"
The alien beasts in the fierce battle suffered multiple wounds on their bodies, and blood flowed from the wounds, making the soft hair on their bodies messy.
Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis arose, causing the two beasts to stop fighting.
At this moment, a group of humans hiding in the darkness jumped out and attacked the two injured beasts at the same time.
Under Lin Fei's watchful eyes, this group of people successfully surrounded and killed the two strange beasts.
He looked away and continued on his way.
"I always feel like someone is watching us."
"where?"
"Can't tell."
"You should be overthinking it."
The hunters who had harvested two exotic beasts whispered for a few words, and then began to process the prey.
Don't stay outside the city for too long, especially in places that smell of blood.
These hunters who hunted the strange beasts quickly dealt with the strange beasts and left the scene immediately.

In the sky, Lin Fei flew all the way and soon arrived at the place where the herbal shop owner said.
He fell from the sky and stood on a hillside, looking at the countless herbs in front of him with a smile on his face.
"I didn't expect there to be so many herbs that Xiaoru needs. The owner of the herbal shop didn't lie..."
The power of telekinesis was activated, and pairs of invisible hands condensed into shape instantly.
Under Lin Fei's control, the hand formed by the power of telepathy began to collect herbs.
Not long after, there were piles of herbs piled on the ground. Lin Fei felt that he was done with it, and was about to put the herbs away when a sound came from not far behind him.
"Hello."
"What are you doing?" Lin Fei turned around and saw many people carrying baskets staring at him.
The leading strong man was 1.8 meters tall, wearing gray clothes, and looked very ferocious. At this time, he looked evil and shouted to Lin Fei.
"Who allowed you to pick so many herbs at once?"
Lin Fei looked at this person in confusion, "What do you mean by this?"
"According to regulations, each person who comes here to collect herbs can only collect one basket.
You have broken the rules by collecting so much at once," said the strong man with a ferocious face.
Another gentle man then added, "Because the herbs here are limited, we have made an unwritten rule.
Everyone who comes here to collect herbs can only collect one basket.
If you don't abide by this rule, once everyone starts to harvest more, it won't take long for the herbs here to recover, and they will be harvested, and then no one will make any money."
After hearing this explanation, Lin Fei nodded immediately. He was not an unreasonable person. Since the locals had this unwritten rule, he, an outsider, would follow the local customs.
However, Wang Xiaoru needed this herb, so Lin Fei decided to take away the already picked herbs and give these people some compensation.
"This money is considered as compensation from me..."
Lin Fei talked about compensation with the people in front of him and took out a lot of money from his pocket.
The fiercely facing strong man saw Lin Fei taking out a lot of money, and for a moment, his eyes lit up.
Because the money in Lin Fei's hands far exceeded the value of these herbs, his attitude immediately changed.
The money and silk moved people's hearts, and the attitudes of the people collecting herbs also changed.
Lin Fei originally thought that this matter could end successfully, but the development of things is always unexpected.
"The money you gave me is not enough." He said slowly to the vicious man.
Lin Fei frowned when he heard this, and the gentle man who had added the explanation before said anxiously.
"Brother Liu, this money has far exceeded the value of those herbs. How can you..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a fierce-looking man, "Shut up, you have no place to speak here."
The smile on Lin Fei's face disappeared and he looked at the ferocious-looking man and said.
"How much do you want?"
"Twice more, no, double it." The lion opened his mouth to face the ferocious man, his eyes full of greed.
Lin Fei put the money in his hand back into his pocket and said expressionlessly.
"It is not good for people to be too greedy. If you just accepted my compensation, this matter will be settled. If you are like this now, I will not give you a penny of these compensations..."
The man with a ferocious expression suddenly became angry after hearing what Lin Fei said.
"You kid, don't toast me and you'll be fined if you don't eat."
"Oh?" Lin Fei looked at the other party with interest, and then said in a calm tone.
"I don't like drinking. No matter if it's a toast or a fine drink, I won't drink it."
"Catch him." He yelled at the ferocious man, and then many people ran out from behind him and rushed towards Lin Fei quickly.
"Seeking death." Lin Fei waved his hand, and many people who rushed towards him were immediately knocked away by a huge force and hit the ground heavily.
"Ouch."
Various screams rang out, and more than a dozen people fell down with just such a casual blow.
Just now, he was facing the ferocious man with great arrogance. At this moment, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He looked at Lin Fei with a horrified expression, and his body was shaking continuously.
"Weren't you very arrogant just now?" Lin Fei took two steps forward and said expressionlessly.
The strong sense of oppression made the man facing the fierce man fall to the ground with a loud sound.
Then, the man knelt down without dignity and begged for mercy, begging Master Lin Fei to spare his life.
"snort."
Lin Fei snorted coldly, "If I were just an ordinary person, I would be dead by now."
After saying that, he flicked his finger, and a tiny ice crystal flew out from his fingertip.
Facing the ferocious man, he felt a chill in his chest. Then he looked down and saw a large amount of cold air in his chest, quickly freezing his body.
"ah!"
As soon as the frightened screams were heard, the ferocious-looking man turned into an ice sculpture.
Cold air spreads around, and the surrounding temperature drops rapidly.
The people who were still alive shivered and looked at Lin Fei with horror in their eyes.
Now these people were afraid that Lin Fei would kill them all, and their hearts were filled with fear.
However, Lin Fei only killed the culprit and chose to ignore the others.
Open the dimensional space and put away all the herbs you picked.
Then it took off into the air, flew very far away quickly, and disappeared within a few seconds.
The gentle man's legs became weak and he collapsed directly on the ground. He looked at his companion who had turned into an ice sculpture and murmured to himself.
"I told you before, don't be too greedy, otherwise you will be in bad luck sooner or later. Now it has come true!"
…………
Zecheng.
After having breakfast, the two investigators took their bamboo hats and left the inn and started wandering around the city.
Because the rebels had made a big fuss in the city before, not only assassinating important figures in the city lord's palace, but also rescuing their companions in prison, so now there are soldiers stationed everywhere to investigate some suspicious people on the road.
"You two stop."
The two investigators heard someone calling them from behind and stopped immediately.
Looking at the soldiers who came in front of them, I knew without thinking that they were going to investigate their identities.
To be continued...
