Chapter 789

Jiang Yuan glanced at the queue. There were more than a hundred people, and he didn't know how long the queue would last.

So Jiang Yuan took out some spiritual stones and said to the old man:

"We are in a hurry, can we make some arrangements first?"

But the old man shook his head, "Nine out of ten people who come to our fishing master to entrust a mission are not short of spiritual stones. If everyone was like you, wouldn't everything be in chaos?"

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Senior said that I didn't think carefully."

With that said, Jiang Yuan took out a spirit stone card and said, "I can pay three times the spirit stone."

The old man smiled and nodded, "When we open the door to do business, we pay attention to a happy cooperation. In this case, it would be disrespectful to do so."

The old man stood up and motioned to Jiang Yuan and the others to follow him into a side room.

The room is not big, with a small square table and four benches.

The four of them sat on each side, and then the old man asked:

"Are you looking for someone or something?"

"Looking for things, by the way senior, do you accept the task of finding anything?"

The old man nodded, "Tell me the approximate area and detailed information about the items. The more accurate the information you provide, the less it will cost."

"Decades ago, a man asked to find an item, but no information was provided. Our people spent twenty years and still completed the task."

"It's just that that thing is worth 80 million spiritual stones, but we need to pay 300 million spiritual stones."

Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded, "The thing we are looking for is located in the Yanhai Sea between Yuzhou and Pingzhou. It is very large. It should not be difficult for you fishermen to find it."

When the old man heard that the location was only accurate to the sea area between two pieces of land, he was a little speechless at the time. However, after being praised by Jiang Yuan, he could only nod his head, picked up the teacup and said:

"What exactly is it?"

"It's an island."

"Plop!" The tea the old man just drank sprayed all over the floor.

He stared, his head full of black lines and asked, "What's the next thing you say?"

"It's an island, Flame Demon Island!"

The old man suddenly fell silent.

"Our fisherman will not accept this task. Please come back."

Xue Lingfeng suddenly frowned, "But you just said that you will not refuse any task of finding objects."

The old man shook his head and looked at Xue Lingfeng with a serious face, "Little girl, please don't mistake your good intentions for donkey's heart and lungs."

"I can completely agree to your entrustment, collect a commission fee, and then pretend that the entrustment never happened. When you ask again, I will tell you that I haven't found it yet."

"I'm telling you now that you won't answer, because I don't want to cheat your spiritual stone."

Seeing that the old man was a little angry, Jiang Yuan quickly poured him a cup of tea, "Senior, don't be angry. I want to know why you don't accept this task. We really don't lack spiritual stones."

The old man snorted coldly, "Although I don't know where you heard the three words Yanmo Island from, I advise you to forget these three words in the future and never mention them again, otherwise, it will lead to death!"

Jiang Yuan frowned, "Senior, can you tell me in detail?"

The old man didn't speak any more, stood up and left the room directly.

Jiang Yuan and Xue Lingfeng looked at each other and knew that it was impossible to get news about Yanmo Island from the fishing master.

The two of them walked out of the room thoughtfully, while Yu Qingyang folded his hands on his chest and said with a proud smile: "Look, I just said it, it's better not to take risks. Miss Xue, why don't I take you to some interesting places?"

But neither Xue Lingfeng nor Jiang Yuan seemed to hear him and kept walking forward.

Halfway through, Xue Lingfeng suddenly lowered her voice and reminded Jiang Yuan:

"Someone is following."

Jiang Yuan nodded to show that he knew.

After a while, the three of them returned to the inn.

Just as Jiang Yuan closed the door, a cold light flashed, and a cross dart shot in the moment the door was closed and was nailed to the table.

Through the flash of light, Jiang Yuan saw an illusory figure.

Jiang Yuan walked back to the table and took off the note nailed to the table by darts.

There was only one sentence on the note:

"I accept any task entrustment - a former fisherman, talk about it in detail at Chengnan Affordable Steamed Bun Shop!"

Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes, then walked out of the room and knocked on Xue Lingfeng's door.

After a while, Jiang Yuan left the inn alone and rushed towards the south of the city.

Yu Qingyang stood by the window, frowning at Jiang's retreating figure, and fell into deep thought.

The entrance to the south city.

A steamed stuffed bun shop was steaming up, and the signboard of 'affordable stuffed bun shop' above was filled with water drops.

The bun shop is not big, with only a few small tables inside.

Jiang Yuan took a look at the middle-aged woman who was kneading the dough, and saw that she was very happy, so much so that she was smiling all over her face while making the buns.

"Lady boss, a cage of animal meat buns."

The landlady responded with a smile and invited Jiang Yuan to sit down in the room.

After Jiang Yuan sat down, he looked at the few diners and found that they were not the ones who had left a note for him just now.

Until the buns were served and Jiang Yuan finished eating, he still didn't see that person.

Just when Jiang Yuan stood up to leave, a man wearing a bamboo hat opened the back door of the bun shop and walked in. He said a few words to the lady who was making buns, and then walked in the direction of Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan left the city and entered the woods to the west.

The middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat followed into the forest, and not long after, he saw Jiang Yuan sitting on a rock, holding a bun in his hand.

"Your wife's craftsmanship is very good."

The man said ‘hmm’ and got straight to the point:

"Tell me about your mission and entrust it to me. It's 30% cheaper than entrusting it to the fisherman's headquarters."

Jiang Yuan raised his eyebrows, "You don't dare to show your true colors, and you also say that you are a former fishing master. Then I am very curious, why do you want to quit the fishing master?"

"Is this important?"

Jiang Yuan nodded and his expression became serious, "I need to judge whether you are trustworthy or not. Don't betray me when the time comes."

The man seemed to be deep in thought for a moment before saying:

"In the fishing master's file, I am already a dead person. Fifteen years ago, during a mission, I leaked the secret of the fishing master's safe entry and exit into the sea to a person in order to survive."

"If you fishermen's secrets can be told to others so casually, then you don't have to eat this meal."

The man nodded, "As long as you tell the secret, you will explode and die immediately."

"Then why are you still alive?"

"I didn't say that that person was very smart. I just vaguely said some irrelevant things, but he guessed the way in and out."

Jiang Yuan smiled, "Then you can say those words again now, and in exchange, I will give you the reward you want."

The man shook his head, "I don't think you can guess it."

"Then tell me."

The man stretched out a hand and said, "Give me a hundred spiritual stones first."

Jiang Yuan did not hesitate and threw a tip bag to the man.

After checking, he nodded:

"Listen clearly, I will only say it once."

"The sun has changed its direction."

“You can’t advance if you can’t advance, and you can’t retreat if you can’t retreat.”

"Throw yourself into death and live again."

Jiang Yuan frowned, "Is it over?"

The man nodded, "Just

so much."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "If I don't understand clearly, I will go to you again, which means I need you to accept my entrustment. Don't worry, you will not be short of spiritual stones."

The middle-aged man nodded and was about to leave, but suddenly asked:

"Aren't you curious why I betrayed the Fisherman Organization?"

Jiang Yuan shook his head, "When I saw your wife, I knew why. With such a good wife, who is willing to throw away his life?"

"Also, there is no way you can stay in Blazing Water City without being discovered by the fishing division organization."

"You think you've hidden it well, but there are so many loopholes. This is because you turned a blind eye. It seems that the fisherman organization is not so cold-blooded."

The man trembled. He was really obsessed with the authorities and thought he would not be discovered.

After Jiang Yuan's reminder, he immediately understood, and his eyes suddenly became complicated and tangled.

Jiang Yuan left here first and returned to Chishui City.

What Jiang Yuan just reminded the man had another meaning.

Since the fisherman has long known that he is still alive, he will more or less pay attention to him. Jiang Yuan does not want the transaction between him and him to be discovered.

Back at the inn, Jiang Yuan went directly into Xue Lingfeng's room, wrote down those few sentences, and thought about it with Xue Lingfeng.

At the same time, Jiang Yuan was also curious about the person who guessed the way in and out of the Flame Sea fifteen years ago. Who could it be?

Xue Lingfeng looked at a few sentences on the paper and read in a low voice:

"The sun has changed its direction."

“You can’t advance if you can’t advance, and you can’t retreat if you can’t retreat.”

"Throw yourself into death and live again."

She thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "I can't connect these three sentences."

Jiang Yuan did not speak, but fell into deep thought.

At this time, such a picture appeared in Jiang Yuan's mind:

The sun rises from the west and sets from the east. I stand on the sea of ​​flames, but I can't move even half a step.

In the end, I fell into endless waiting. Seeing that all my strength was about to be exhausted, it seemed that the only thing waiting for me was death.

Put yourself to death and survive?

In his fantasy, Jiang Yuan got into the sea of ​​flames and swam quickly under the surface.

But the next moment, the picture shattered, and Jiang Yuan directly denied his guess.

Surviving one's life here is definitely not as simple as swimming in a sea of ​​flames.

Because Jiang Yuan once tried to touch the sea water of the Flame Sea, but before he touched it, he felt that all his flesh, flesh and strength would turn into fly ash.

So what do these sentences mean?

Just when Jiang Yuan and Xue Lingfeng were puzzled, Yu Qingyang knocked on the door.

He stood outside the door, sighed and persuaded:

"Miss Xue, just listen to my advice and never venture into the sea of ​​flames."

"If it doesn't work, just let out the news that a treasure has appeared on Yanma Island, and let those who are not afraid of death go search for Yanma Island."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan suddenly laughed, not realizing that Yu Qingyang could come up with such a dark idea.

Jiang Yuan immediately smiled and said:

"Brother Qingyang, why don't you go and investigate in person? We will wait here for your good news. After all, you are so smart, maybe you found the Balrog by accident..."

Before the last word "island" was uttered, Jiang Yuan was suddenly stunned.

"Yes! It's a mistake! I know!" Jiang Yuan suddenly stood up and rushed out of the room with an excited look.

Yu Qingyang, who was standing outside the door, was almost knocked over and yelled twice angrily.

But the next moment, Xue Lingfeng also rushed out, and the air wave caused Yu Qingyang to fall to the ground.

He quickly got up and followed him while shouting "Wait for me".
