Chapter 559: Just a Glance. Is the Power Really That Great?
“It actually costs 1,000 snow crystal coins per person?”
When Elena heard the guard say that a person actually costs 1,000 snow crystal coins, she could not help but exclaim in shock.
When the guard saw Elena’s change in attitude, he immediately realized that the price he said was a little too exaggerated. However, if he were to change the amount now, Elena and Joelson would definitely be suspicious.
The current guard felt like he was riding a tiger.
Even though it was winter and the cold wind was constantly blowing across his body, the bone-piercing coldness was constantly blowing on his face.
However, the guard still felt that there was sweat on his forehead.
He subconsciously wiped it off, his eyes evading.
However, when his hand really touched his forehead, he was shocked to find that he was really nervous and was sweating a lot.
Was he really that nervous?
The guard was a little surprised.
However, he still maintained a calm look. He looked at Joelson and Elena in front of him and said.
“Yes, the two of you.”
“As I said, the price has changed since last month. “Since last month, if you want to enter the underground city, the tax to enter the city has changed from 500 snow crystal coins per person to 1,000 snow crystal coins per person.”
“If you have any objections, just tell the king about entering the city. What’s the use of telling us guards?”
“We are not people who change the price. Those who are really powerful would not be patrolling outside in such cold weather.”
The guard’s expression did not change as he said coldly.
After saying all this, he felt that he was simply a first-rate actor in the underground city.
He was actually able to lie with such perfect acting skills.
Even if he did not become a guard, he would be able to find a troupe and get a good salary with his acting skills!
Elena glanced at the guard. She already felt that there was something wrong with this guard.
However, what Joelson said earlier was right. They were not in a good condition now. Although it was possible that this guard was clearly trying to scam them of their money.
However, it might be a good option to spend money to get rid of this disaster.
After all, if there was a dispute, the mobility-impaired Joelson would bring them great inconvenience.
Thinking of this, Elena frowned slightly. She once again took out her exquisite purse from her fanny pack.
She took out another thousand snow crystal coins.
This was not a small expense for Elena!
Beside her, Joelson frowned slightly.
Right now, Joelson did not have any money. If the guards just asked them about the taxes for entering the city, Joelson would ask Elena to pay it.
After that, when Joelson received the money, he would return it to Elena.
But the problem was that there was an 80% chance that the guards were cheating them of their money. This made Joelson a little unhappy.
If the guards wanted to make Joelson a sucker, they might have found the wrong person.
Joelson frowned slightly and looked at the guard coldly.
The guard, who had just touched himself because of his acting skills, suddenly felt that an extremely terrifying beast was staring at him.
He only felt that at this moment, his surroundings were not the ice field that he was familiar with. His clothes had also disappeared and he had entered an extremely dark ice cellar.
That bone-piercing cold made the guard’s soul tremble!
He felt as if his life was being targeted by that unknown beast.
As long as the other party was willing, he could end his life at any time.
His life was as easy as crushing an ant to death to that terrifying beast.
Bathump! Thump! Thump!
The guard only felt his heartbeat quicken, as if his heart was directly in his throat!
This feeling was too unbearable!
Every minute, every second was a torture to the guard!
Only two or three seconds had passed, but to the guard at this moment, it was as if several years had passed.
It was incomparably long!
At this moment, the guard’s forehead and back were completely drenched in cold sweat.
It wasn’t because of anything else, but because of that terrifying threat that came from god knows where, causing the guard to feel extremely uneasy!
Could it be that there was a terrifying existence in the underground city?
The guard subconsciously thought to himself, that huge sense of danger made it difficult for him to breathe!
In fact, he even had the thought of collapsing in an instant. Perhaps committing suicide right now was the best way to escape!
He did not have the ability to escape from a ferocious beast that could release such a terrifying aura!
It was likely that not a single person in the entire guard regiment would be a match for such power!
Even if there were ten or a hundred of them, the result would still be the same!
There was no difference!
Currently, Elena was not affected by Joelson’s aura.
In fact, there was no pressure at all. To put it bluntly, it was just that the guard behind Elena coldly glanced at him.
Even the guard did not expect that his gaze would have such a huge effect.
He looked at the originally arrogant guard and was suddenly stunned. After which, he seemed to have received some kind of shock and his entire person seemed to be on edge.
Elena carefully discovered that the guard’s thigh had already begun to tremble.
Even the majestic long spear in his hand was trembling at this moment. It continuously collided with the silver scale breastplate, emitting a ‘ding ding ding’sound.
At this moment, 99% of the Guard’s eyes were white, while his pupils had become the size of a pinhole.
His eyes were bloodshot, and they were trembling non-stop!
His face was pale, without a trace of blood!
At this moment, all the blood on the guard’s body seemed to have been sucked dry.
This state lasted for a full minute.
“Sir Guard?”
“Sir Guard!”
Even if Elena took out her small hand and waved it in front of the guard’s eyes, there was no reaction at all.
However, after a full ten seconds, the guard suddenly let out a loud cry and ran into the distance as if he had gone mad.
His voice was so loud that it was as if he had suffered a terrifying encounter.
On the snowy ground, a shiny object was left on the ground. It looked very conspicuous.
It seemed that the guard had left it behind by accident.
