Chapter 323 Past Events in Chunjiang Town
It turns out that this big river is called Chunjiang, and the narrowest place on the river a few hundred meters to the west is Chunjiang Town.
Chunjiang Town is divided into two sections by the river, which the locals call South Town and North Town.
Nanzhen is on this side of the river and is mainly used for loading and unloading goods and doing business.
Beizhen is on the other side of the river and is a residential area.
Chunjiang Town was originally very prosperous, with hundreds of ships anchored here to unload cargo every day, and a bridge was even built across the river.
But one day ten years ago, three monsters suddenly appeared in the river and took over the river as kings, forcing passing ships to pay them spiritual stones as tolls.
At the same time, the bridge across the river was also occupied by them, and pedestrians were forced to pay bridge tolls.
The guards in the town rose up to resist, but the three monsters were very powerful and easily killed all the guards.
With no choice but to surrender, passing ships and townspeople had no choice but to surrender.
Fortunately, due to the excellent development before, the townspeople had some savings, so they could barely survive.
But the government felt that these three monsters would affect the local shipping trade, so they decided to send troops to exterminate these three monsters.
What is unethical is that before the government took action, not only did they not allow the townspeople to evacuate, they did not even notify them, and they suddenly took action.
After a night of bloody fighting, the officers and soldiers fled, and finally decided to abandon this place and all ships changed their routes.
Although the three monsters won, they seemed to have suffered some losses. In a rage, they sank all the ships along the river and destroyed the bridge.
This time, the local residents suffered.
You must know that Zhenbei and Zhennan were originally one family. Since the government did not notify them before the attack, many people did not return home on the night of the attack because they were working in Nanzhen. They were separated by the river and never reunited.
At this point, the middle-aged man's eyes turned red: "I was loading and unloading goods in Nanzhen that day, but I didn't go back because I was too tired. Unexpectedly, just this thought caused me to be separated from my mother-in-law and children, and made me unable to be in front of my mother's knees. Be filial!"
Fang Tian couldn't help but ask: "No matter how powerful those three monsters are, the range of their control is limited, right? Why don't you cross the river beyond their control and then move with your family?"
The middle-aged man smiled sadly: "How can it be that easy? Beizhen has been controlled by those three monsters, and our families are also under house arrest. Those three monsters used our families to blackmail us and asked us to hand over the spiritual stones on a monthly basis, otherwise I’m going to tear up the votes!”
"I see..." Fang Tian sighed sadly.
He was touched.
In fact, isn't this the case with his situation?
He was also kidnapped into this world and forced to be separated from his family.
Although his life has been colorful since he came here, every time when he was tired from practicing, he longed for his mother's gentle comfort, and even his mother's nagging, which was a little annoying at first, how many times when he came back from his dreams in the middle of the night, Fang Tian It kept echoing in my mind.
Fang Tian, who has become invincible in this world, has always wanted to escape. Although it is mainly because he does not want to be a monkey in the zoo, part of the reason is that he wants to reunite with his parents.
The middle-aged man was still talking: "Those three monsters asked for 5 spiritual stones each before they would let us reunite with our families for one day a month, but the government refused to pay the money. In addition, we had to pay spiritual stones each month. They have to pay a fixed share, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to collect it all in this lifetime..."
Hearing this, Fang Tian understood that the mission was coming.
5 spiritual stones are enough to modify half of a god chariot!
Moreover, it is 5 spiritual stones per person!
From this middle-aged man's description, there are more than 500 people stranded in South Town.
Based on five hundred people, that’s 25 million spirit stones!
Even Fang Tian can't get it out!
But it is foreseeable that as long as 5 spiritual stones are used to allow this middle-aged man to reunite with his family every month, the task can be considered completed.
Of course, this way of finishing will definitely not get a high rating.
Fang Tian quickly made up his mind, stood up and said loudly: "Brother, I am willing to help you eradicate these three monsters!"
The middle-aged man was stunned, with a look of horror on his face. He waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no! Never! If we anger those three monsters again, our family will be doomed!"
Other guests also heard what Fang Tian said and quickly came up to stop him.
"Boy! Don't say this nonsense!"
"Did you know that the government sent thousands of elite soldiers last time but failed to win? How can we do it with you alone?"
"That's right! You are still young and don't know the heights of the world. If those three monsters heard it, they would be weird if they didn't make you drink!"
Fang Tian laughed: "Everyone, please follow me."
With that said, he strode out of the restaurant.
The guests immediately followed him. On the one hand, they wanted to see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, and on the other hand, they were afraid that he would really act recklessly and go after the three monsters to fight for his life.
Fang Tian found an open space and activated a series of skills.
The giant polygonal bugs, Little Red and Little Black, all appear in their largest sizes.
Such huge monsters appeared together, and the onlookers immediately became confused and shouted.
"monster!"
"So many monsters!"
"Run!"
Fang Tian got lucky and said loudly: "Don't panic, everyone! These are my pets and will not hurt anyone!"
When the onlookers heard this and saw that these monsters were indeed staying in place, they gradually became quiet and looked at these giant beasts with slightly frightened and curious eyes.
"To tell you the truth, I am actually a monster hunter who specializes in catching these monsters. Look at these monsters. They used to do mischief in other places and harm the people, but as soon as I took action, I conquered them all! So, You don’t have to worry, as long as I take action, I will definitely help you eliminate the evil!"
When everyone heard this, they were immediately overjoyed and gathered around, making a lot of noise.
"You are the legendary magician, right?"
"It's amazing! As soon as I saw you, I knew that you were definitely not simple! You are indeed a boy born from a hero!"
"No wonder when I got up in the morning, the magpies kept chirping in front of the window. Sure enough, someone noble has come!"
"Mage, how much does it cost to get rid of the demon?"
Fang Tian smiled and said, "Okay, I will get rid of the demons for free. Of course, if you want to give me some souvenirs, that's fine too."
These people have long been squeezed dry by those monsters, and they will definitely not be able to get much money out of them.
But Fang Tian didn't say anything. What if someone's family had some heirloom treasure?
When everyone heard that Fang Tian actually didn't accept money, they were even more happy, and they all pulled Fang Tian to treat him to dinner.
Fang Tian hurriedly said: "Everyone, don't make any noise. I don't have much time. How much information do you know about the three monsters? Tell me quickly."
After everyone heard this, they immediately became quiet and started talking about the three monsters.
