human journey

Chapter 157
"No, I'm uncomfortable living here, and you are equally uncomfortable. Don't worry, I will come out to help when the beast strikes."

After speaking, Lu Yu took Piccolo and left.

This time, Chada didn't say anything to stop him. He understood the truth that too much is too late, as long as he feels it, it's fine. Forcing him to stay may arouse Carotel's resentment.

"Brother, where are we going now? Are we going to the Purple Bamboo Forest to find out? Or go out of the city to save other tribes?"

When they walked away, Piccolo couldn't help asking.

"Don't worry, I'm going to stay in this city until the beasts attack. I think it will take several days. I have plenty of time to study the Purple Bamboo Forest. I'll take a rest today, and I've been on the road for a few days to relax.

Without a specific goal, it is impossible to find the nomadic tribes in the vast grassland, and there is no talk of saving them. Blindly searching for them is just a waste of time.

And they know that there are ferocious beasts raging on the grassland, and they will all come to Sunset City. We just need to protect this place.

Wait for the final decisive battle and eliminate all enemies including the intelligent beasts before going to other areas. "

Lu Yu frowned slightly, and said slowly.

For some reason, he suddenly panicked just now, feeling that he missed something, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of anything.

Afterwards, he took Piccolo to visit the bustling places in the city and had a full meal. During the process, an embarrassing thing happened to him, that is, after he had finished his consumption, he realized that there was no Sunset City release. money.

Just when he was about to find a rich man to "borrow" some money, Chada, the clever leader, sent someone to send him a lot of money. The person who sent the money was the guard who was beside him just now. He would not admit the wrong person.

This money is handed down from ancient times. It is a sword-shaped banknote. It is very thin, about the size of a palm, and has no denomination. Each banknote has the same value.

The material is very special, like a leaf that has turned yellow and fallen off, but it is extremely tough and invulnerable to water and fire, so it can be passed down for many years without damage.

"Isn't this the leaf of the purple bamboo? It's just a different color. This is its withered state!"

Lu Yu said in surprise when he got the money.

He has good eyesight. When he observed the purple bamboo forest from a distance, he could see the leaves of the purple bamboo clearly.

"Yes, my lord, this was given by Zizhu when Sunset City was first established."

The guard who brought the money replied respectfully.

"Then it's okay to go to the purple bamboo forest to pick up some fallen leaves, isn't it because you have a lot of money? Anyway, the purple bamboo doesn't attack the tribesmen, and it just picks up the fallen leaves it doesn't want.

If there is more and more money, Sunset City should be very inflationary, but I looked at the prices and found that the money has purchasing power, and everyone agrees with it, which should be the reason for the relatively fixed amount. "

Lu Yu asked curiously, this should be something that everyone can think of.

"My lord, you don't know. The leaves of this purple bamboo never wither and fall. Our money in Sunset City comes from the leaves of the purple bamboo itself, so the total amount of the money will not increase."

Although the guard didn't understand what inflation meant, he still explained it respectfully.

"So that's the case, then you go back and thank your leader for me."

Lu Yu waved his hand and asked the guard to leave.

With money, Lu Yu is not stingy, and takes Bick to eat well and live well.And the awakened warriors of the foreign grassland tribes who entered the city were only paid a little living expenses, and there was no problem with eating and drinking, but now the hotels in the city have increased their prices due to the surge in tourists, and they don't know how many days they will stay. This amount of money is not enough.

Some people went directly outside the city to live with their clansmen, while others sold some supplies for money, or went hunting directly in the purple bamboo forest to collect supplies and sell them for money.

There are people who are honest and rule-abiding, and there are also those who steal, rape and play tricks to make money. Robbery and theft are repeatedly prohibited. Generally, those who do this are homeless people without tribes.

Even if there are a large number of soldiers from the Sunset Tribe patrolling the streets to catch those who are restless, compared to a population of more than 1000 million, this security force is like a drop in the bucket.

No, when Lu Yu was asking passers-by about the best hotels nearby, he was targeted by wanderers from outside. After all, only those who have money will live in the best hotels, especially when the room rates are skyrocketing.

This is still a small group, there are four or five people, all awakened warriors who were expelled from their own tribe for bad behavior before, and their wandering life has encouraged their wild nature of bullying.

They also heard that there were man-eating beasts raging on the grassland, so they also came to the largest city on the grassland to take refuge.Although there is living expenses from the Sunset Tribe, they want to live a life of a gentleman in this bustling place. They want to eat delicious food, drink spicy food, and have beautiful sisters to accompany them. All this requires money.

It was impossible for them to venture into the purple bamboo forest or grassland to hunt and collect supplies. Taking advantage of the mixed crowds in the city to plunder other people's money became the fastest and best way.

These few people didn't know each other at first, so they could be regarded as like-minded, so they joined forces to do evil, and they have already harmed many people, either dead or maimed.

The money they robbed or stolen was quickly squandered by them. Those hotels, brothels, and casinos were all guarded by powerful awakened warriors, and they dared not make mistakes.

In their eyes, Lu and Yu were just two big fat sheep. One was a young man with the words "unexperienced" written all over his face, so he definitely had no fighting ability.

The other face was covered by a wooden-like armor, so it couldn't be seen, but it didn't look much stronger. Even if the strength was not weak, they still dared to give it a try. After all, wealth is always in danger.

The reason why these people can survive alone in the wild is because of their good strength and confidence. Together, there are not many people in Sunset City who are their opponents.

They secretly followed behind Lu Yu and Piccolo, waiting for the opportunity. Now that there are many people on the street, and the tribal people are bold and righteous, if they try to rob at this time, they will be beaten to death.

Lu Yu had already noticed someone following him, but he didn't pay attention, thinking he was traveling the same way.Later, I casually glanced back and found that although these people immediately pretended to be passers-by, they still had evil intentions in their peeking eyes.

Only then did Lu Yu realize that they were probably eyeing the huge sum of money in their hands. He couldn't help but feel funny. It seemed that God was going to take their lives.

For his future future, he must meet God's requirements. Thinking of this, he deliberately went into some deserted alleys to lure fish to the bait.

Sure enough, when Lu Yu and Piccolo came to a small alley with no one around, two of the people who followed appeared from the alley in front of them, and they were going to detour to block it, and wanted to catch a turtle in a urn.

"Brother, what are these people going to do?"

Only then did Piccolo realize that he was being targeted, but he hadn't thought about why. After all, his tribe was in the mountains and there were not many people. They all bartered and had no concept of money at all. He had no idea that people could do anything for them. What terrible things money does.

"They are here to rob. For the money that Zhada gave us just now, it is just for you to practice your hands, and use actual combat to test how well you have mastered the moves I taught you."

Lu Yu said with a smile.

During the days when he was with Piccolo, he would teach him some fighting skills and experience when he was on the road.Piccolo's awakening ability is high speed and high reflexes, so the attack method is to make greater use of these abilities.

The skills Lu Yu taught Piccolo were to be faster, more precise, more coordinated, and able to concentrate all his strength to attack to the maximum extent.

Piccolo's weapon is the one-meter-long intelligent beast spike that Lu Yu gave him. In Lu Yu's hands, it is a powerful long-range attack weapon, and in Piccolo's hands, it is also a powerful melee weapon.

Although Piccolo has no electrical energy and cannot activate the destructive force field in the spikes, its super physical properties are enough to defeat the weapons of most awakened warriors.

When these villains heard what Lu Yu said, they all burst into laughter. They may have killed more people than this young man knew, but they actually wanted to practice with them.

Not much to say, these four or five people attacked directly, attacking back and forth, trying to chop Lu Yu and Piccolo into meat paste.

Piccolo's eyes narrowed when he saw this, he took a deep breath, suppressed the tension in his heart, and rushed towards the enemy in front.

He has never killed anyone, but he also has combat experience. With his high speed, he has also killed some small wild animals in the mountains.

He often practiced fighting with the awakened warriors in the tribe, and with Lu Yu's guidance, as long as he saw human blood and killed a few times with real swords and guns, with his awakening ability and wisdom, he could become an excellent warrior.

As the distance got closer and closer, the ferocious faces of these people gradually enlarged in front of his eyes. Instead of feeling scared, Piccolo felt a little excited. Maybe it was because Lu Yu was behind him, and he felt that he had a backer.

Soon, the nearest one of them brandished a weapon and slashed at Piccolo. In the eyes of others, this was an extremely swift and courageous move.

Piccolo felt that this was much slower than his elder brother, and full of loopholes. He took a small step forward, started from the ground, and continued to increase the strength through his body, and then transferred it to the spike in his hand, causing it to thrust out violently. The last come first.

The sharp and hard spikes, driven by powerful kinetic energy, directly pierced into the man's forehead and emerged from the back of the head.

Before he realized that he was dead, Piccolo had already pulled out the spike, and stabbed the other sideways. This time, he not only avoided the person's continuous attack due to the inertia of his movements, but also used his body to block him, and made a sneak attack. another person.

Sure enough, the other person was also stabbed to death without raising his weapon.Piccolo didn't stop at all, turned around, and killed the few people behind him.

His fast-moving figure was like a flash of lightning, and the few people had just returned to the west when they realized that the situation was not good.

The whole battle went so fast that it felt like it was over before it even started.

"Brother, I accidentally killed them all, will there be any trouble?"

Piccolo, who was killing people for the first time, was inevitably a little nervous. Did he intend to kill them directly? He just wanted to maim them.
