Chapter 163 A bunch of fakes
"More than last time, one hundred and fifty-four!"
After counting the harvested insect crystals, someone shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this, Shi Chun also shouted, "Brother Chu, come and collect the goods."
"I'm coming."
Bearded Chu Jingtang and several of his fellow apprentices came over cheerfully. After counting the seeds on the spot, they announced loudly to everyone, "We harvested 154, a total of 2,094."
Everyone was in high spirits. They were happy to have a harvest, but these two or three hundred more were of little significance.
But there is also an advantage. Looking back, it can be proved that they have done the job, but just not done it well.
After counting the casualties, no one died, but six people were slightly injured, two of whom were slightly seriously injured, but not a big problem.
After Shi Chun visited the wounded, he said to Chief Mai Zhan, "Brother Mai, you will be in charge of the merit book. Remember to clearly record who gets the credit for each battle."
This was a job that would offend people, but considering their current situation, they wouldn't offend anyone that much, so he just smiled and agreed, "Okay, I'll listen to the boss."
Unexpectedly, Shi Chun turned around and took out the mother-child talisman, jumped to a high place, raised the mother-child talisman in his hand to everyone, cast a spell and said loudly: "The spies reported that there is a new target. Work hard for Xuanzhou to win the championship. Gather and set off!"
As usual, he ran away without caring about anything after shouting.
"The boss."
"The boss..."
Many people exclaimed and wanted to have a good talk with him, but the boss was so anxious to work hard for Xuanzhou to win the championship that he didn't even bother to turn his head. He acted like you didn't want to follow him or not.
Shi Chun was not afraid that they would not follow him. If they had the ability, they should not follow him. He would make these people anxious later. At worst, he could go to Mulan and Qingqing to put labels on these people. They were unwilling to do the work of thousands of people fighting dozens of people. What else could they do but just want to get by?
In short, he has plenty of ways to deal with them.
The boss's intention to find an excuse seemed quite obvious, and a group of people hurriedly followed him.
Fortunately, the boss’s cultivation level is not high, so it is not difficult for them to catch up with him.
After catching up, Chief Mai Zhan asked, "Boss, aren't you rushing too fast?"
He is reminding us that we don't need to be so serious, right?
Shi Chun asked, "Don't you want to do your best to help Xuanzhou win the championship?"
Director Mai quickly denied, "No, no. What I mean is that everyone has been running back and forth without stopping. Do you want to stop and take a rest?"
"Yes, yes." Several people who followed nearby echoed.
Shi Chun: "We can rest, but the target will not stop for us. The spies have gone through so much trouble to find the opportunity for us, and we cannot miss it. Let's work harder and finish this job before we rest."
Some people wanted to have a good talk with him, but the boss didn't listen and just kept running on his own, saying you can come or not.
Xiang Lan'er, who was on a distant hill, watched the group of people go away, then took out his Wind Scale and flew away.
Thousands of people rushed all the way to their destination.
The same process, first clarify the specific location of the target, and require an accurate encirclement time.
Then came the key point that Shi Chun firmly grasped, and the battlefield discipline that he would always emphasize loudly: "Which direction the target runs from, that team will hand over three sects of people to die. You can choose who should die in the team. If the encirclement is not timely, kill the team leader first. Follow me on the second route!"
Thousands of people have almost memorized these words after hearing them.
From another perspective, these words have indeed gradually penetrated into their hearts.
The second group of people, whether willingly or not, followed him out again.
The other groups also rushed out to carry out the mission with a slightly tired mentality and were very nervous. After all, fighting and killing was no joke.
However, when they surrounded the target location again, they found that the fighting was indeed a bit of a joke. There were only dozens of people surrounded by thousands of troops, dozens of extremely terrified people, and it felt like they were about to drop their weapons and surrender.
Yes, anyone would be scared. This is not just being surrounded by a few people, but by thousands of people.
Everybody has figured it out. Even though the boss makes a lot of noise, he actually only dares to do small jobs. Everyone's previous anxiety and worries are completely unnecessary.
After three consecutive attacks, they only caught and bit dozens of people. If you say that all three times were coincidences, no one would believe it. The spies sent by the boss were obviously targeting anyone they saw.
The dozens of people who were surrounded shouted again, stating that they did not have any Insect Crystals on them.
It would have been fine if he hadn't said this. As soon as he said this, the group of people surrounding them wanted to rush up and knock them down without hearing any orders.
"Middle Second Road, kill!"
Following Shi Chun's order, the second group of people rushed into the crowd and started fighting without hesitation.
The battle ended without any suspense, the process was quick, and several people were injured as the enemy fought desperately.
This time there was no need to be called. As soon as the battle was over, the group of people couldn't wait to search the scene.
Soon there was another cry of surprise, "We have the goods. Here, we have the Insect Crystal."
Someone raised his hand and waved a black cloth bag.
Then a group of people nearby immediately gathered together to count the items, and soon shouting broke out again.
"Two hundred and ninety-three!" "Almost three hundred. This time it's more than the previous two times combined."
This number caused a little commotion among the onlookers, as it was really not a small number this time.
Shi Chun still did not touch the insect crystal and shouted again, "Brother Chu, come and collect the goods."
"Here we come." Chu Jingtang and his fellow disciples squeezed over happily.
This time, Shi Chun did not hesitate any longer. He cast a spell and shouted, "We should not stay here for long. We may have reinforcements. Gather and move our troops to find a place to rest."
The boss finally stopped and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long after, the thousands of people who had rushed over quickly went away. They came and went in a hurry, as if they came and went like the wind.
The wounded were carried or on their backs.
By the time the group stopped in a mountainous area, it was already mid-afternoon. In fact, the fighting process was very short, and most of the time was spent on the road.
After everyone selected a location and checked, and determined where to stay, Shi Chun said in front of everyone, "Brother Chu, count all the insect crystals again in front of everyone."
Chu Jingtang came out and said with a wry smile: "Boss, I have already pointed this out several times. If you don't trust us, why don't you find someone else to look after these insect crystals?"
Shi Chun soothed him, “Point it again, point it again, everyone’s harvest from the first day, this is the last time.”
In fact, everyone doesn't care about this.
Chu Jingtang vaguely guessed that there was some deeper meaning in this, and when he saw that Shi Chun was giving him a look, he immediately called on his fellow disciples to count the items together in public.
The number was quite large, and it took some time to count it. In the end, Chu Jingtang announced the result loudly in public: "A total of 2,387. In three raids today, we harvested a total of 550 Insect Extreme Crystals."
"Five hundred and five..."
“That’s a lot.”
"You see, even without the participation of those big sects, we can still do just as well on our own."
There was a noisy discussion in the crowd. It took so many people in Xuanzhou so long to make only about 3,000 pills, while they only made 500 to 600 pills in a day. Without comparison, it would be hard to tell the difference.
After Shi Chun asked the Bilan Sect to collect the Insect Crystal, he asked everyone to rest on the spot.
After a group of people were assigned to their duties, most of them began to dig caves. It was not a very troublesome task for the monks, as people naturally like a sense of privacy.
After Wu Jinliang dug the cave, Shi Chun gave him Fenglin and asked him to go out for inspection.
When I came back, it was already dark.
As soon as Wu Jinliang came back, he nodded to Shi Chun, took out a package of clothes from the Qiankun bracelet, and returned the Qiankun bracelet to Shi Chun.
Shi Chun, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, put on the Qiankun bracelet, stood up, walked through the horizontal passage, winked at Chu Jingtang in the other room, and made a gesture pointing at the cave entrance.
The two caves were side by side, connected in the middle.
Chu Jingtang understood and immediately asked two fellow disciples to guard the door.
Wu Jinliang then followed Shi Chun into the next room and placed the clothes package in his hand on the earthen platform in the cave. Shi Chun stretched out his hand to signal Chu Jingtang to have a look.
Chu Jingtang unwrapped the clothes and found several black cloth bags filled with things. He reached out and touched them. After feeling the lumps inside through the bags, he asked in surprise, "Are these all Insect Crystals?"
Shi Chun raised his chin again and said, "Open it and take a look."
Chu Jingtang immediately untied the bag, moving carefully to prevent Chong Jijing from escaping. However, after opening the mouth and taking a look, he was stunned. Then he quickly opened the entire bag, and under the light of the sandalwood gold flame, he saw a bag of stones.
The sizes of the stones are quite regular, almost the same shape and size as the Worm Crystal. Of course, they are not as regular as the Worm Crystal.
What was going on? He couldn't understand, so he immediately opened several other black cloth bags. Without exception, they were all filled with similar stones.
He subconsciously glanced outside the cave and whispered, "Boss, what does this mean?"
Shi Chun: "Use these to exchange for the insect crystals that you are keeping."
"..." Chu Jingtang was stunned for a moment, and all kinds of thoughts went through his mind, but none of them seemed possible. He hesitated and said, "Boss, this is not appropriate. Everyone trusts me so much, what on earth do you want to do with these insect crystals?"
The two fellow disciples beside him also looked surprised and puzzled.
Shi Chun: "I can't explain this to you right now, don't worry, I'll borrow it temporarily and it will be back to you tomorrow."
"This..." Chu Jingtang was still a little hesitant.
Wu Jinliang: "What's this? You don't have to take responsibility. I spent almost an hour kneading these broken stones and had to find ones with similar weight. It's not easy for me."
Shi Chun: "It's okay, you will understand it later."
Chu Jingtang thought about it and realized that what the big guy said was right. If something went wrong, it would not be his responsibility. So he pointed to a pile of stones to confirm, "I will carry a bunch of fake goods on my back to show everyone tomorrow?"
Shi Chun: "We have done everything we should do today. They won't doubt it."
"Alas." Chu Jingtang sighed. Since he was already on the pirate ship, he turned around and signaled his junior brother who was guarding the Insect Extreme Crystal to bring over the bags of Insect Extreme Crystal.
Wu Jinliang picked up a few bags of insect crystals and turned to leave. Before leaving, Shi Chun smiled and patted Chu Jingtang on the shoulder, "Don't worry, it's okay."
