331: Enter the Elemental Eldar Base Camp, Business Plan! (Seeking monthly votes)
"Go, send him the things we promised earlier." Léon Leis looked at the message on the virtual screen in front of him, took a deep breath, and then said to his subordinates.
"Really, do we have to settle the final payment?"
The subordinate was stunned, after all, the other party was the Human Race, who were their enemies.
Moreover, even if they didn't settle the final payment, it wasn't like the other party could come looking for them, right?
"Was what I just said unclear?"
Léon Leis frowned slightly, looking at his subordinate, with no intention of explaining anything.
"Hurry up! Don't let me find out you've embezzled anything!"
"Understood!"
The subordinate Fire Element Spirit Race was startled and quickly agreed before running out.
"Fool."
Léon Leis looked at the person's back and coldly uttered a single word.
Not settling the final payment?
The final payment was just that little bit of stuff, and if they couldn't successfully kill Jiang Yuan in one go, they would still need the other party's intelligence.
Even if they did successfully kill Jiang Yuan in one go, it wouldn't be a loss at all.
There were still people thinking of not keeping their word?
Truly foolish beyond saving.
Léon Leis withdrew his gaze, then turned to look at another subordinate beside him.
"Notify everyone to eliminate all Human Race in the Element Spirit Race's territories!"
"Yes!"
Although the other subordinate had some doubts, he still quickly nodded in agreement.
The fate of his companion was still fresh in his mind.
"Wouldn't it be better to just directly order to find Jiang Yuan? Why go to all this trouble to eliminate all Human Race in the territory?"
Others didn't dare to ask, but Kadinga was not among those people.
"Because I'm afraid the other party will escape once they know the news."
Léon Leis gave Kadinga a cold glance, then spoke.
"So many people are looking for Jiang Yuan. What if Jiang Yuan realizes something and directly leaves the Element Spirit Race's territory, or even leaves this Grotto-Heaven altogether?"
"If you know there's danger, would you still actively go forward?"
After Léon Leis finished speaking, Kadinga was stunned for a moment.
It seemed that made sense.
"Since we already know his destination, it's best if we can encounter him on the way. If not, we can surround him at his destination."
"The order to target all Human Race is precisely for this reason. Even if he knows we are targeting the Human Race in the territory, this is as it should be, isn't it?"
Léon Leis said with a cold laugh, "It's best if we can find him. If not, Luolei Mountain is deep within the Element Spirit Race's territory, which also makes for a good graveyard."
Kadinga fell silent. After a moment, she looked up, "Then I..."
"You also join the search, but only for two days. After two days, come with me to Luolei Mountain!"
Léon Leis suddenly stood up, looking down at Kadinga in front of him, "This time, let him die here directly!"
"Good."
...
...
As Jiang Yuan and his group had just left Lei Bao Canyon, a few cards appeared in Jiang Yuan's hand.
Seventy-Two Transformations - False Shape.
After he changed his appearance to that of an Earth Element Spirit Race person he had seen before, Nezha and the others also changed their appearances.
Immediately following, Earth Movement Technique.
Isn't it natural for the Earth Element Spirit Race to walk underground?
"Is this okay?"
Nezha looked at his appearance and felt awkward no matter how he looked at it.
It wasn't as good-looking as his original appearance.
"Basically, there's not much of a problem. After all, we need to pass through the Element Spirit Race's territory, so it's better to be careful."
Jiang Yuan said, then used the Earth Movement Technique and merged into the ground.
Shi Ji, Zhao Gongming, and Old Lord were the same.
Nezha pouted, then also used the card to follow Jiang Yuan and their pace.
The duration of the Earth Movement Technique was relatively short, coupled with the cooldown time, so after a short while, they had to come out and rest for a period.
They didn't waste their resting time, directly walking forward with the appearance of the Earth Element Spirit Race.
Although some passing Element Spirit Race members were curious, they didn't say much.
In unfamiliar situations, no one would proactively strike up a conversation.
Of course, there were also a few people who recognized them and came forward to ask why they were returning at this time.
Upon seeing the other party call out their names, Nezha, Shi Ji, Zhao Gongming, and Old Lord immediately took action without hesitation.
Within the formation, in just an instant, the opponent's five-person team was taken down by Nezha, Shi Ji, and Zhao Gongming.
It's worth mentioning that False Shape not only lasts for a long time but also generally won't be broken unless attacked.
Just like the battle between Zhao Gongming and Nezha just now, they didn't let the opponent touch them throughout the entire process and directly instantly killed the opponent.
However, it was merely an Element Spirit Race at the Late Stage leading a few at the Daliang.
After quickly clearing the battlefield, Jiang Yuan and his group continued forward as if nothing had happened.
However...
"Looks like there's someone ahead?"
"Someone?"
"Element Spirit Race."
"Oh, isn't it normal to have Element Spirit Race?"
Jiang Yuan looked at Nezha helplessly, but the next second he saw those few Element Spirit Race members walking towards them.
"Have you seen any Human Race?"
"No."
Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, shaking his head and speaking.
The person who came was a Water Element Spirit Race guy. Seeing Jiang Yuan and their appearance, he was also a bit surprised.
"You guys, what's going on?"
To perfect their disguise, Jiang Yuan and his group's transformed appearances were all a bit injured, dusty, and looked like they had suffered a defeat.
"Don't mention it, Lei Bao Canyon has been occupied by the Human Race, do you know? We tried to take it back, to see if we could, but those Human Race on the other side were too strong, we couldn't defeat them."
Jiang Yuan said in an annoyed tone, "So, we failed, and we decided to return to camp for supplies first."
As Jiang Yuan spoke, he even pretended to be a bit embarrassed and changed the subject.
"Let's not talk about that. Where are you going?"
"Well, the commander wants to clear out the Human Race in our territory, so he sent us out."
The Water Element Spirit Race nodded understandingly, then spoke with some annoyance, "Where are there so many Human Race daring to come to our Element Spirit Race territory? I've been wandering for almost a day and haven't found a single one."
"Indeed, how would the Human Race dare to enter our Element Spirit Race's territory?" Jiang Yuan also chuckled and casually said.
"Alright, I won't say more. I still need to find the Human Race, and I won't delay your return either."
The young Water Element Spirit Race waved his hand at Jiang Yuan and his group, then left with his teammates.
But Jiang Yuan and the Earth Element Spirit Race that Old Lord had transformed into exchanged glances.
Old Lord smiled, clearly understanding Jiang Yuan's meaning.
It must be said that after Jiang Yuan's myasthenia was cured, his courage also grew much greater.
If it were before, he would never have gone out of his way like this.
"Then let's go."
"Huh?"
After Old Lord spoke, Nezha was stunned.
He felt he didn't understand what Old Lord was saying, but he had a feeling that Old Lord's "go" was not their original destination.
"Since most of the Element Spirit Race are currently out looking for traces of the Human Race, why don't we go to their camp and see if there's anything good?"
Jiang Yuan smiled, explaining to Nezha, "No wonder we saw so many Element Spirit Race members hurrying along the way."
They had indeed seen many Element Spirit Race members along the way.
Including the Earth Element Spirit Race.
However, their identities were not exposed.
Just as Jiang Yuan had said, they were all in a hurry and didn't pay much attention to Jiang Yuan and his group.
Only that Water Element Spirit Race guy just now came forward to strike up a conversation.
This was also because their eyes met.
Plus, the distance wasn't far, so the other party came over.
Hmm, it should be a naturally friendly personality, like Mu Qianshan.
"Then let's set off."
Jiang Yuan took out the map, confirmed the direction, and then continued to lead Old Lord and Zhao Gongming forward.
The Element Spirit Race's camp was actually not very far. By the time it was almost dark, Jiang Yuan and his group had "returned" to the Element Spirit Race's camp.
They even saw the exit from the Element Spirit Race's camp leading to the Element Spirit Race's world.
However, Jiang Yuan wasn't foolish enough to directly pass through this exit into the Element Spirit Race's world.
Not to mention whether there would be a race inspection mechanism outside the exit, it wouldn't make much sense to go there anyway.
Without knowing the way or the people, it was better to just scavenge here.
"Let's go, let's go to the market."
Jiang Yuan came here without any hesitation and walked towards their market.
Although it was somewhat different from the Human Race's market, it was generally similar.
It was unclear whether it was due to the evening or because most of the Element Spirit Race had gone out to search for traces of the Human Race.
At this moment, in the Element Spirit Race's market, there weren't many people buying things. Most of them were merchants, sitting there idly chatting and playing cards.
Upon seeing Jiang Yuan and his group arrive, several stall owners at the market entrance looked up.
"Are you here to sell or buy something?"
"Buying things. I'm preparing to buy some heavenly material and earthly treasure. Do you have anything good?"
Seeing someone come forward to inquire, Jiang Yuan quickly got into character, putting on the air of a big boss, and asked the stall owner.
He was going to play a big game this time.
As for whether it would succeed, it depended on this moment.
"Yes, yes, yes! I have two purple-quality heavenly material and earthly treasure here. Which one do you want?"
The boss was a Wind Element Spirit Race member. Hearing Jiang Yuan say this, he instantly became excited.
He threw the cards in his hand onto the table and led Jiang Yuan to his stall.
Whether it was the Human Race or the Element Spirit Race, because the place was not large, most of the sellers were basically small stalls.
After Jiang Yuan arrived at his stall, the boss directly opened a Backpack Card.
"Boss, take a look. Fire-attribute heavenly material and earthly treasure, Volcano Bead; Earth-attribute heavenly material and earthly treasure, Earth Core Jade. Especially this Earth-attribute heavenly material and earthly treasure, it's very suitable for you. After using it, you can..."
"You don't need to introduce it, I know. How much?" Jiang Yuan interrupted directly before the other party finished speaking.
"Eight hundred mid-grade star spirit stone!" The stall owner gritted his teeth, seemingly making a difficult decision, then spoke.
"I mean both together."
Jiang Yuan's calm voice rang out, and most of the stall owners in the market stopped what they were doing, looking up at this scene.
"If you take both together, I'll give it to you for fifteen hundred." The stall owner still looked heartbroken, pretending to be generous as he spoke.
"Twelve hundred. If you can, just give them to me directly."
"This price is too..."
Before the stall owner could finish, Jiang Yuan immediately turned and left without any hesitation, making the stall owner a bit flustered.
"Okay, okay, we can negotiate, don't be in a hurry."
"No negotiation. I'm pressed for time. It's twelve hundred. If you can, I'll take them. If not, I'll look at others. It's not for my own use anyway."
Jiang Yuan still maintained a cold demeanor, and Nezha and the others behind him were the same, looking at the stall owner indifferently.
"Alright, alright, consider it a new opening!"
The stall owner quickly agreed, putting the two heavenly material and earthly treasure into a Backpack Card and handing it to Jiang Yuan.
The value of these two heavenly material and earthly treasure hovered around eleven hundred. According to the situation on the Human Race's side, this price was considered reasonable.
After Jiang Yuan took the Backpack Card, he directly took out the Backpack Card containing star spirit stone, took out some star spirit stone, and then handed the Backpack Card in his hand to the stall owner.
Cash payment!
Upon seeing Jiang Yuan's appearance, the surrounding stall owners also gathered around.
"Boss, do you need anything else? I have a lot of heavenly material and earthly treasure here?"
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but smile in his heart when he saw the other stall owners like this.
Indeed, whether it was the Human Race or the Element Spirit Race, they were all like this.
"Yes, I'll take a look."
After Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement, he again paid for and bought more than a dozen purple-quality heavenly material and earthly treasure.
His willingness to take all comers made the entire market boil. Stall owners from all booths, holding purple-quality heavenly material and earthly treasure, surrounded Jiang Yuan.
"Boss, look at mine, my price is cheaper."
"Boss, look at this, the lightning-attribute Heavenly Lightning Bamboo."
"Boss, I have several here, come take a look."
The stall owners spoke while continuously handing the heavenly material and earthly treasure in their hands to Jiang Yuan.
Such a rare "big boss," generous and takes all comers, what else are they waiting for?
"I can't take too many."
Jiang Yuan frowned slightly, looking at the heavenly material and earthly treasure shimmering with various colors around him, and said to everyone.
"I'm just a middleman. I buy here to sell them elsewhere, and I didn't bring much money."
Jiang Yuan frowned as he looked at everyone. This one sentence instantly cooled down the lively atmosphere on the scene.
"Boss, do your goods sell fast?"
A voice, whose owner was unknown, spoke.
"Of course they sell fast. Today is my first time in this Grotto-Heaven. You know Grotto-Heaven No. 32, right? That Grotto-Heaven couldn't keep up with demand, so I changed locations."
Jiang Yuan made up a Grotto-Heaven, but basically, all races named their Grotto-Heaven with numbers, so no one suspected him.
Moreover, most of these small merchants who set up stalls focused on one place, so Jiang Yuan wasn't afraid of others questioning him.
After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, the mood of the various stall owners became excited again.
Merchants who sell goods quickly are the most welcomed by these small stall owners.
Although they earn a little less, the volume is large.
And the cash flow speed is also faster.
"Then why don't you leave us a partial deposit? Don't your goods sell fast? You can come back and settle our final payment after you sell the goods."
Still a voice, whose owner was unknown, spoke, and the stall owners in front of Jiang Yuan also quieted down.
"That's also possible, but I don't know if you believe me."
Jiang Yuan nodded, looking at the stall owners in front of him, "But you can go and inquire about my reputation, Mordekaiser, in Grotto-Heaven No. 32."
Jiang Yuan said proudly, "It's no exaggeration to say that no one in Grotto-Heaven No. 32 sells goods as fast as I do alone."
"If you believe me, I can give you twenty percent of the deposit first, acquire some, leave them here, and I'll be back to settle the final payment in at most two days."
As Jiang Yuan spoke, he pointed to Nezha and the others beside him.
However, it seemed there was one less person than when they first entered.
