Chapter 3188 Encountered thieves
Hearing that both Ding Hao and Dongcheng Ling are Rune Masters, the villagers in the small fishing village were all excited.
In their opinion, Rune Mage is a high-ranking figure. Originally, these villagers only admired Ding Hao and the others, but now it has risen to worship, and they have different eyes on them.
Ding Hao and Dong Chengling were quite satisfied with this reaction. They came to a new world. If they could gain the worship of the villagers, it would be more convenient to do anything.
At the moment, Dongcheng Ling continued to stay in the small village, learning the runes of the outer world.
Ding Hao followed the caravan and went to the town to sell items.
There are also storage devices in this world, but items containing rune content cannot be put into storage bags, so the items they sell require large and small vehicles for transportation, and the long fleet consists of more than a dozen vehicles.
On the largest car in the middle, the white skeleton of a very complete giant serrated fish was transported.
This huge skeleton is tens of meters long, three stories high, and transported by a special cart; the fish meat and skin on the surface of the skeleton have all been cut off, leaving the bones as white as jade. Necessary for refining some precious treasures.
This complete skeleton is also the most precious item they transported to the town this time. After selling it, everyone in the small fishing village can get a good income.
The bones are very hard. Ding Hao sat on the top of the fish skull and followed the caravan forward, looking at the city in the distance.
It was the first time for him to come to the city of the Outer Worlds. He wanted to see what was for sale here. He also thought about it. He wanted to buy some cultivation items that he wanted. for anticipation.
However, when the distant city was about to approach, the convoy suddenly stopped.
More than a dozen escaping lights quickly rushed from all directions. When the escaping lights turned into runes, they disappeared immediately, and a dozen figures blocked their way forward.
Half of these dozen figures are like Tian Sheng, their bodies are covered with black runes, which are rune flesh armors; the other dozen figures are wearing rune armors, but these rune armors are obviously more than the villagers. The rune armor they are wearing is much more upscale!
The rune armor worn by the villagers is uniform and dark, and it looks like a waistcoat. The clothes look shiny.
“No, the thieves blocking the way are here again!” The villagers in the caravan were a little confused.
These thieves who block the road make a living by robbery, and the caravans passing by will be exploited by them. When they are in a good mood, they can pass the customs by paying some tolls; when they are in a bad mood, they can even slaughter the entire caravan together. Loot all the property!
“Where is Tian Shengren?” The leader among the dozen or so figures was a tall man with runic flesh armor. A long knife engraved with strange runes in his hand looked very mighty and very powerful. It’s scary, there are no weapons of this level in the entire small fishing village.
“Tian Sheng, he…” The villagers who led the caravan saw these people, and they were so scared that they shivered.
At this moment, the leader heard a man’s voice above his head, “Tian Sheng didn’t come this time, I’m in charge here, what’s the matter with you, why are you blocking my way?”
“Is this person stupid?” A thief in silver rune armor behind him, holding a knife, snorted coldly, “It’s a newcomer.”
“Rookie?” The leading thief looked up and saw a young man’s figure sitting high above the huge fish head.
The villagers of the caravan quickly introduced, “This is Senior Ding Hao, the new strongest in our village!”
“The new strongest?” The leading thief sneered, “For every newcomer, we will give you a slap in the face! So the previous rules don’t count, and the passing agreement between Tian Sheng and us is also void! Today we are setting new rules!”
“yes?”
Ding Hao fluttered from the fish head and fell down,
The toes just fell to the ground, looking very light.
The leading thief focused his eyes, looked Zhao Yan up and down, and then sneered, “It seems that the method is slightly better than Tian Sheng, but unfortunately, you don’t have a powerful enough rune weapon in your hand! Therefore, it is impossible for you to defeat. Me, if you want to challenge us, you are courting death, young man, I advise you to be honest!”
“Okay!” Ding Hao smiled and nodded, “What was the agreement between Tian Sheng and you in the past? What kind of agreement are you going to reach with me today?”
“In the past, Tian Sheng asked that to give us one-tenth of the toll for the goods.” The leading thief snorted coldly, “But for you, a newcomer, we will charge five times the toll today! That’s where you are! Half of all the goods have to be handed over to us!”
“What!” All the villagers present were dumbfounded.

In the past, paying 1/10 was already a lot, and everyone was exploited out of thin air; but now it is too much, and they have to take half!
Then everyone will transport the remaining goods to the town, and then be exploited by the Rune Mage and pay the taxes in the town, then there are really very few left in the end!
It originally looked like a harvest day, but now it looks like it’s nothing to be happy about!
“You guys are a little too big!” Ding Hao sneered.
“It has to be a bit big!” The leading thief laughed with his fellow thieves, and said, “Actually, how much toll is charged depends on whether Grandpa is in a good mood? If you kneel down and kowtow to me, maybe my mood will change. Well, I will only charge you three floors!”
The thieves have an unwritten rule, that is, for the caravan that escorts goods for the first time, it is necessary to double the collection, so that these escorts are completely subdued; in this way, it will be easier to collect tolls in the future!
But only this time, they met Ding Hao.
Ding Hao said, “Actually, I came here today to give you a chance! If you return all the property that you extorted from the fishing village caravan in the past, I can spare you a life; but if you are persistent, then I will also give you a good dismount!”
“Arrogant!” The leading thief sneered, “Young man, speaking arrogantly will not have a good result! Now I’m already angry, so don’t want to leave the convoy of your fishing village this time, leave the goods and get out of here. Otherwise, I’m in a bad mood, and I’m going to start killing people!”
“What!” The villagers in the convoy all had pale faces. They heard that these people were going to take all the goods, or they would start killing people. Everyone looked at Ding Hao in panic.
Ding Hao smiled coldly, “Then you all die!?”
