237 The Price of a Piece of Bread
There was no obstruction at the periphery of the camp. In such a place, if the magical beasts deliberately attacked, it would be useless no matter how high the fence was. However, at the entrance of the camp, they still used some large rocks to pile up a wall that was more than two meters tall to stop some low-level magical beasts that lived in groups.
However, this was the temporary home of all adventurers in the Magical Beast Forest. Once a Magical Beast attacked, the mercenaries or adventurers in the camp would gather together to protect it and not let the Magical Beasts trample on it.
Beiting Huang looked around, but didn’t see anyone from the four great clans. In the entire camp, there were more rank 2 high-star professionals, which were only at the level of Spirit Masters and Sword Masters. Occasionally, she would see a few rank 3 professionals. A seven-star Great Spirit Master like Chu Feng was almost at the level of an expert here. It was no wonder that he could stay here for several years.
On the other hand, other than Dongfang Jiao, there were no other fourth-grade Star Sword Masters or Star Spirit Masters. He really did not know how this fellow could continue to stay here.
Three people entered from the entrance of the camp. They were a handsome young man in a black robe, a handsome man in a tight blue warrior suit who exuded an ascetic aura, and a cold handsome man in exquisite armor that resembled a cheetah. The moment these three people appeared in the camp, they attracted everyone’s attention. Everyone in the noisy camp stopped talking. It was not until the three of them walked past hundreds of tents that they exclaimed.
“It’s Dongfang Jiao!”
“Lord Chu Feng, why has Lord Chu Feng returned? Didn’t he leave the Soul Breaking Mountain Range for the time being? Why has he returned so quickly?”
The three of them ignored everyone’s discussion. As they walked forward, Dongfang Jiao introduced the camp to Beiting Huang. “This is the Wanderer Camp. There are several such camps along the Soul Breaking Mountain Range. This is the largest one. Adventurers or teams from all sides will basically choose camps nearby to remedy their situation and ask for some information or trade. There are a total of four areas here. As long as you need something, you can buy it here. Weapons, ordinary medicine, clothes, tents, and so on.”
From afar, the fragrance of bread wafted over, immediately making the glutton in Beiting Huang’s stomach drool. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, raised her hand, pointed, and asked, “Let’s go over there and take a look!”
“Hahaha!” A burst of hearty laughter rang out. Dongfang Jiao slapped Beiting Huang, who rarely looked embarrassed. “I’m not laughing at you. I’m laughing at myself. When I first came here, I wandered around the forest for three months. I ate magical beast meat every day until I wanted to die. When I came here, I was just like you. I was extremely hungry. I asked for ten pieces of butter bread in one go and ate them all in one bite, but I couldn’t taste anything. In the end, guess what happened?”
Beiting Huang thought that it was not a good thing. She wrinkled her nose and shook her head coldly. “I don’t know!”
“Hahaha, you can’t guess it, right?” Dongfang Jiao was especially proud. There was actually a time when he could stump Beiting Huang. “Of course, I didn’t have the money to pay the bill! I had just entered the Magical Beast Forest and only brought tens of thousands of Rubis with me. I ate ten pieces of the highest-grade butter bread in one go and asked for a cup of Deep Sea Jade Blue. I didn’t even have enough money to pay. I didn’t dare to go against the merchant caravan, so I had to run. I was chased by the boss for more than ten days. He was tired of chasing me, so he let me go for the time being!”
“Is a piece of bread that expensive?” Beiting Huang had a bad feeling. Although a cup of Deep Sea Blue wasn’t as expensive as the Dark Blue Enchantress, it shouldn’t cost more than ten thousand Rubis, right?
“In Silver Moon City, one silver coin can buy about 15 to 20 pieces of ordinary bread. Alcohol is even more expensive. After all, bread can be made here by a baker. As for alcohol, it’s not easy to transport it. A cup of Deep Sea Blue costs 100,000 Rubis here.”
This price could no longer be described as expensive. It was extortionist.
