1065: Gold Mine
“Su Liang, what's going on?”
The red-faced, white-browed strong man's eyes revealed a dangerous questioning look.
And the female Magician beside him, wearing a Magic robe and three exquisite rings on her fingers, was also locking her increasingly cold gaze onto Su Liang.
Facing such a locked aura, Su Liang had lost his previous arrogance.
He still couldn't believe why Wyatt was still alive!
These guys from Li Village couldn't possibly have the strength to fight off so many monsters! Where did things go wrong?!
As his heart sank further, Su Liang didn't choose to wait for death and confess.
He looked at Wyatt in front of him, his expression immediately showing a mix of joy and confusion: "Wyatt, you're actually alive! That's great, you don't know I didn't sleep all night because of this last night!"
"But why do you say I harmed you?"
"Isn't it these heinous people from Li Village who killed you? You weren't controlled by the people of Li Village and forced to say this, were you?"
"It's okay, don't worry, now that our Renault Family people have arrived, we can definitely rescue you!"
After the Man finished speaking, only coldness and a sneer remained in Wyatt's eyes.
A voice then came from within the Village.
"Su Liang, do you think we only saved Wyatt? Do you want us to bring out some other people and let them listen to the story you made up?" The speaker was Li Changkong.
The moment his casual words were spoken, Su Liang's already uneasy heart suddenly sank to the bottom!
A chill also went straight from his tailbone to the back of his head!
"Run!" This thought instantly exploded in Su Liang's mind at this moment!
In just a few breaths, he suddenly flipped off his horse, waving his Magic staff, and condensed rich Wind elements under his feet, carrying him away quickly!
With just one Wyatt, he could barely stall for time with his words.
But if Li Village brought out other survivors to confront him, then without saying a word, just a single glance would plunge him, Su Liang, into a place of eternal Jie!
Right now, this was his only chance to catch his breath and escape!
As for whether Li Changkong's words about other survivors were true or false, he couldn't afford to gamble anymore!
In just three or two breaths, Su Liang had already escaped into a dense forest.
Seeing this scene, among the people from the Renault Family, the female Magician snorted coldly and waved her Magic staff in that direction.
"Crack crack crack~"
Amidst the trees, large patches of vines extended out with a sound!
In the thick forest where no one could see, Su Liang, who was frantically running away, was directly and firmly bound by large patches of Magic vines!
And the Magic staff in his hand, which was about to be swung to break these vines, was whipped out of his hand by a vine.
After this scene occurred, the people from the Renault Family could basically confirm that everything Wyatt said was true!
Those Children of theirs were all killed by Su Liang!
"Wyatt, are you the only one who survived?" The female Magician looked at Wyatt standing at the entrance of Li Village and asked with a stern expression.
In response, Wyatt nodded heavily: "That guy Su Liang harmed everyone, and I was just lucky to be rescued."
"Damn it!" The woman's expression twisted slightly, then her gaze, filled with extreme hatred, locked onto Su Liang in the forest.
...
Tens of minutes later.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
Under the cover of black clouds, a heavy rain began to pour down.
After Wyatt thanked everyone in Li Village, he left with the Renault Family members.
During this time.
Su Liang, who had his limbs disabled and was like a dead dog, was also taken by them to the Renault Family.
Standing at the Village entrance.
Many villagers looked at the departing Renault Family members, and then looked at Li Changkong.
Since the battle yesterday, many people among them, who had a lot of thoughts, were already preparing to leave Li Village.
After all, no matter what, they had offended the Renault Family yesterday.
Revenge was only a matter of time!
Li Village was destined to be destroyed in the wrath of the Renault Family!
Until an hour ago.
When everyone saw that a group of powerhouses from the Renault Family had really arrived, each and every one of them felt fear, and even despair!
But, the result was beyond everyone's expectations!
All the impending disasters were ultimately resolved easily under their existence, under Li Changkong's actions!
Furthermore, not only did they not have to worry about the Renault Family's revenge in the future, but because they had saved the life of a Renault Family member, the Village's safety would be even more guaranteed in the future!
Thinking that the cause and effect of all this originated from Li Changkong, and from their Village Chief.
Everyone in Li Village's view of Li Changkong gained a sense of respect and mystery!
"Ding~ Detected that the overall sense of belonging of Li Village has increased. The current sense of belonging of Li Village has been promoted to Intermediate."
[Intermediate Sense of Belonging]: The subjects belonging to the Host will gain a 20% cultivation progress, plus a 1% chance of encountering opportunities.
In his mind, the System's notification sound made Li Changkong notice the option of the overall sense of belonging of the villagers, which he had almost forgotten.
Looking at the System's reward for this level of sense of belonging, Li Changkong then looked at the villagers behind him.
Unexpectedly, everyone's sense of belonging had also reached the Intermediate level now.
"Village Chief, what else do you need us to do today?" A loud voice came from the crowd, full of enthusiasm.
"There's still a plot of land outside the Village that needs to be framed, but it's raining heavily now. Let's do it tomorrow or the day after, no rush." Li Changkong looked at another piece of land outside the Village and said.
When he finished speaking, the people behind him said no.
"It's just a little rain, when can rain stop us from working?"
"Back then, when I was a slave, even when it snowed heavily, I had to work wearing thin clothes!"
"That's right, Village Chief, you're too good to people. I think you should be appropriately stricter, just like yesterday, otherwise there will be more and more White Eyes like Su Liang and Zhang Yang in our Village!"
Among the crowd, with just a few words, each and every one of them picked up their tools and went outside the Village to continue reclaiming land.
And before, those who demanded higher wages and were very noisy were now smiling and agreeing one by one.
"Village Chief, what are we going to do?" Li Man brought the other nine Apprentice Knights from the Village to Li Changkong.
"You guys go build houses. Build a few houses on the recently expanded land." Li Changkong didn't forget the System's requirements for the territory.
On every 0.1 level of land, there must be ten people living!
Currently, everyone in Li Village was still concentrated on the old site.
It was time to quickly disperse the population to the newly expanded land.
However, compared to driving the local people to those places, Li Changkong preferred to absorb new villagers and settle them on these newly expanded territories.
No matter how you looked at it, with the territory about to reach Level 1, the current hundred people in Li Village were indeed a bit too few.
Fortunately, after this battle, Li Village temporarily didn't have to worry about external enemies and could develop peacefully for a period of time.
After arranging for Li Man and others to leave, Li Changkong then noticed a turntable in front of him.
This was the turntable on the Level 0.9 territory.
In the morning, after he received the reward [Wyatt's Lifesaving Grace], he hadn't had time to use the large turntable.
He reached out and clicked on the start button.
As the large turntable spun, the pointer stopped on an option.
[Gold Mine]
...
...
At noon.
Heavy rain was still falling from the sky.
Amidst the misty sky, a few terrifying flashes of lightning occasionally streaked across, giving people the illusion that these thunderbolts could strike them at any time.
Li Village entrance.
The short, fat, and plump-faced Qiao Yi was smiling at Li Changkong, who was walking towards him.
"Hahaha, my dear friend, do you know that you have done something incredible!" Qiao Yi said loudly with a face full of smiles after Li Changkong approached.
Hearing this, Li Changkong indicated that it was within his expectations.
With a casual attitude of not caring on his face: "What are you here for? Didn't you unilaterally announce the termination of our cooperation?"
"Oh dear, that was a joke, a joke!" Qiao Yi grabbed Li Changkong's hand, his face full of familiarity: "Friend, you have a way to reconcile the Renault Family with you. You should have told me earlier, it made me look like a fool."
"In the future, our iron ore business must continue to cooperate!"
Qiao Yi's tone was full of concern.
In response, Li Changkong slowly shook his head: "Our previous cooperation is void, so if we want to cooperate, we should renegotiate."
Qiao Yi: "Renegotiate?"
"Yes." Li Changkong nodded slightly: "For the iron ore, we'll still have a 30-70 split, but it will be me taking 70 and you taking 30."
"What? You want 70%?!" When Qiao Yi heard this, his face immediately showed unwillingness: "That's impossible, friend, you're asking for too much this time!"
Although his words were unwilling, Qiao Yi's attitude did not outright refuse.
Li Changkong knew the other party's thoughts.
If it were before, Qiao Yi wouldn't even allow a 50-50 split.
The main reason why he didn't directly turn hostile when he said a 30-70 split was that their Li Village had dealt with the Renault Family's trouble on their own.
During this time, Li Village fully demonstrated its strength and capability.
Precisely because of this, Li Changkong had the qualification to officially negotiate terms.
"If you agree to this split ratio, I think we can have a bigger money-making project and continue to cooperate." Li Changkong said meaningfully.
After these words came out, Qiao Yi's expression was slightly stunned: "A bigger money-making project? Do you have anything more profitable than iron ore?"
