Peerless Insect Deity

Chapter 1041: Oppression and Exploitation

Mulei let out a long sigh.

"The second youngest has three children. Two of them died in the swamp tide more than sixty years ago. The other one is Yi Dao's father. He was recruited by the Shenshu Sect ten years ago and was rumored less than half a year ago. When the news comes, I don’t know where he died, and his body is gone.”

Speaking of this, Mulei seemed to have aged ten years.

Ye Lin pointed to a tree trunk area close to the poisonous fog, and saw a large number of people wearing white cloth gathered here, howling continuously.

An object like a rice dumpling wrapped in green leaves was carried by two people, opened the mana shield and sank into the depths of the poisonous mist.

"What are you doing?"

Mulei reluctantly smiled.

"That's a funeral. The sacred tree has given us everything. After death, we will naturally turn into the nutrients of the sacred tree to repay the kindness of the sacred tree."

Ye Lin suddenly realized.

It turned out that the big green leafy rice dumpling was wrapped with a corpse. They probably wanted to bury the corpse at the root of the banyan tree and turn it into nutrients for the banyan tree.

Gaga!

A two-winged strange bird that was larger than Xiao Hui was flying towards Mulei's direction. Above the strange bird's head stood two middle-aged men and two young people, both of whom were in the foundation-building stage.

The middle-aged man in the lead smiled heartily.

"Old Mumu, did this shipment go smoothly?"

Mulei shook his head repeatedly.

"Don't mention it. We encountered a large group of swamp bats on the road, and our grandfather and grandson almost confessed. Fortunately, my sword skills are superb."

The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly.

"So there seems to be some instability in the swamp recently. The rot monster has become more manic. It seems that we should be more careful."

Another middle-aged man let out a light sigh.

"The boy next to you is a bit unfamiliar. He doesn't look like someone from Qingshan Town, does he?"

Mulei chuckled.

"I picked up a guy who passed by another town. He is hardworking but a little weak. He said he wanted to learn how to make a living with me. He has a good relationship with my family, so I asked this guy to follow me."

It was only then that everyone suddenly realized that he was there, and two strange birds with two wings carrying cargo passed by.

Mulei looked at Ye Lin apologetically, and saw Ye Lin smiling and nodding at him, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Today, Ye Lin has drank a lot of juice from the fruit of the sacred tree, and his eyes are flashing with blue light. There is not much difference between Ye Lin and the indigenous monks of the Zehai tribe, and he will not arouse the suspicion of these people.

The two-winged strange bird did not fly toward the second floor of the banyan tree where Mulei's family lived, but flew toward the third floor.

There is a clear boundary between the third and second floors of the banyan tree. At the same time, the building has become extremely tall and grand, covering an extremely large area. Now it is inhabited by rich and powerful families.

Mu Yidao explained to Ye Lin.

"This shipment of ours was ordered by the Liu family. According to the contract, it must be delivered as soon as possible, otherwise we will suffer a lot."

Ye Lin nodded to express understanding.

Mu Lei pursed his lips and said with some jealousy: "The Liu family is also very lucky. Thirty years ago they lived on the second floor, but they didn't expect that a top-quality spiritual root baby would be killed by the Divine Tree Sect when he was less than ten years old. After becoming a disciple of the inner sect, the status of the Liu family will naturally increase, and they will move to the third floor and enjoy a share of the fruits of the sacred tree. "

Mu Yidao's expression was a little gloomy.

"I'm really born with good luck, and I can't stop it... Our whole Qingshan Town may not be able to give birth to a top-notch spiritual genius even if it takes five hundred years."

Mu Yidao's spiritual root is only of middle grade, which is similar to when Ye Lin first entered Taixuan Sect. However, in the mortal world, having a middle grade spiritual root is already a good starting point, but in the swamp sea of ​​the spiritual world, middle grade spiritual root is only a good starting point. It can be regarded as unremarkable.

Even those with high-grade spiritual roots must go through numerous tests before they can join the Divine Tree Sect, while those with mid-grade spiritual roots have no hope in their lives.

Not long after, the two-winged strange bird arrived at an open space in front of the Liu family's mansion. Mu Yidao and Mulei began to unload the goods. Ye Lin was not idle either, helping to move various goods to the ground.

Mulei's grandson was flattered and quickly asked Ye Lin to have a good rest, but Ye Lin shook his head and didn't mind. Now that Ye Lin's injury has recovered a little, loading and unloading hundreds of thousands of kilograms of goods is no longer a problem.

Not long after, all the goods on Xiao Hui's back were unloaded. Mulei knocked on the door of Liu's house, and a middle-aged housekeeper with a mustache and small eyes wearing luxurious clothes strode out of Liu's house.

He counted the goods one by one, suddenly frowned slightly, and said with a cold expression: "What's going on? There is a box of the most expensive spiritual grass missing, Yuehua grass! Old wood, how dare you covet my Liu family's goods! "

Mulei's face changed drastically and he broke into a cold sweat.

"Master Butler, please calm down. All the goods are here. This is the cargo list. It says in black and white that there is one box of Moonflower Grass, not two boxes. Look, Butler..."

The housekeeper snorted coldly.

"I said you were greedy, so you are greedy. Do you still want to deny it? Do you still want to take over my Liu family's business in the future?"

Mulei smiled bitterly, and as a last resort, three fist-sized fruits appeared in his hand with a flash of light, exuding a light blue glow and an intoxicating fruity aroma, and handed them over.

"Master Butler, you don't remember the faults of others. You see..."

The butler put away the three fruits and snorted coldly.

"On this point, it seems that we should consider other freight teams next time we have business."

Mulei's face was extremely ugly, but he still forced a smile and stuffed two more fruits. The butler smiled this time.

"It seemed like I was dazzled just now. The goods are complete. Here are three Yuan stones. Once you get them, the contract will be completed."

After saying that, he threw a spirit stone bag to Mulei. Mu Lei opened it and saw three pieces of spirit stone that exuded spiritual light. He immediately smiled and nodded and said goodbye to the housekeeper. Then everyone came to Xiao Hui's back, and Xiao Hui spread his wings and flew towards The second layer of the banyan tree.

After leaving Liu's house, Mulei felt extremely distressed, his face was very gloomy, and he cursed.

"Damn old Papi, sooner or later he will die without a complete body, and sooner or later he will have no descendants!"

Mu Yidao's eyes also flashed with cold light, obviously extremely angry.

Thinking about it, they risked their lives to transport goods, but in the end they were exploited by a housekeeper and took away a considerable part of the profits. No one would be furious.

Ye Lin seemed to have been used to it for a long time and was not affected in any way. He asked Mu Yidao.

"Is that the fruit of the sacred tree just now?"

Mu Yidao nodded.

"Ten fruits of the sacred tree can be exchanged for a precious Yuan Stone. Although we have obtained three Yuan Stones, one of them is a deposit. If it were not bound by the power of the contract, any old bastard would probably swallow seven. Seven or eight."

Ye Lin suddenly realized that in this swamp sea full of rot, the fruit of the sacred tree that can prevent rot has naturally become hard currency.
