Chapter 2244： High taxes

"But... I guess our money is still not enough. We need to collect taxes from other cities in the territory before we have enough money to pay taxes!"

It seemed that he glanced at the mountain of spar, and swallowed his saliva, his heart was full of greed.

But in an instant he suppressed this greed, he knew very well that this was Yue Chen's thing, and some of his own small embezzlement Yue Chen could turn one eye and close one eye.

If you dare to attack the idea of ​​these resources, it is estimated that Yue Chen can kill him with a punch.

"How much spar do I need to pay all taxes?"

Yue Chen asked curiously.

"It should be around five hundred and fifty thousand!"

Gulu slapped his tongue, he had never seen so many spars in his life.

However, these spars were at best a drop in the bucket for the Dragon Blood Great Emperor.

There are more than a dozen medium-sized cities like Longshan City, and every medium-sized city will pay him more than 500,000 taxes.

Because Longshan City was barren, the taxes paid were still relatively small.

"If you say that, it's really not enough. You immediately send people to collect taxes in other cities. If you dare to disobey, you won't be amnesty!"

Yue Chen shouted sharply.

For the time being, he does not intend to confront the Dragon Blood Emperor, so paying taxes is the safest way.

For him, the money is only in the hands of the Dragon Blood Emperor. As long as he becomes a strong emperor, or helps the hegemon to recover from his injuries, he will definitely find the Dragon Blood Emperor personally, and get his money back with the benefit. .

"Yes!"

Guru responded, said a few words to the goblins behind him, and sent more than a dozen teams of goblins to collect taxes in different cities.

"Well, you go out first, you won't be needed here for the time being!"

Yue Chen frowned suddenly.

Gulu didn't dare to stay any longer, so he ran out.

Yue Chen's consciousness entered the spiritual world and felt a message from the spiritual world that came from Chen Kui.

"City Master Yue Chen is quick to save my life. I am trapped in a dungeon, in the cold **** forest. I will send the specific coordinates immediately!"

Blood ice cold forest?

Yue Chen frowned, thinking about this place in his mind, and for a moment only remembered that he had seen an ancient forest from a distance on the way to Longshan City.

It is different from the normal woods near Longshan City.

Although the normal woods near Longshan City are all mutated plants with various toxicity or dangers, their appearance is consistent with normal woods or forests in the desert.

The Blood Ice Cold Forest was different, he could feel the astonishing chill even after dozens of miles, and many of the weaker goblins would even be frozen into ice when they approached.

It is said that the special temperature of the blood ice cold forest is because the trees in the blood ice cold forest are all specially mutated plants called cold blood trees.

This enchanted plant specializes in absorbing the blood in various organisms to maintain its survival, and it can also release a large amount of cold air, freezing everything.

In the cold forest, unless the strength is above the warlord, or there are special methods, otherwise normal creatures will definitely not last long.

"Bai Qi, you will take a few people out with me later, I need to go to the Bleeding Ice Forest to save the human race!"

Yue Chen frowned and said with a serious expression.

Chen Kui was the only human race he encountered in the Sunburst Continent. He would need Chen Kui's help if he wanted to conquer the human continent in the future.

After all, only Chen Kui, who had personally experienced the various terrains and features of the Burning Sun Continent, could tell.

If Chen Kui died in battle, he could only fumble little by little, not to mention that the speed was reduced a lot, and the danger was self-evident.

"Yes, I don't know who your Majesty is going to save?"

Bai first responded, and then asked with some doubts.

In his opinion, how could human beings survive in the current situation in the burning sun continent?

It is simply impossible.

So many fierce demons will never give humans here a chance to survive.

"They have been hiding in the dungeon. I only met after coming in because of a coincidence. It was in the cold **** forest we passed by!"

Yue Chen briefly confessed two sounds, which turned into an afterimage and flew into the air.

Other gods followed one after another, but did not take away the soldiers in the city.

They don't understand the situation in the Blood Ice Cold Forest. Bring ordinary soldiers, even if the soldiers are of good strength, the degree of danger is not low.

According to Yue Chen's understanding, the creatures in the blood ice cold forest are the lowest strength of the warlord, otherwise there is no way to survive in that kind of ghost place.

Not long after, Yue Chen came to the address given by Chen Kui. In front of him was a towering giant tree with no trace of the entrance to the dungeon.

The giant tree was a little different from the surrounding trees, as if it hadn't been corrupted by demonic energy.

However, this is also a normal phenomenon and will not arouse the suspicion of the demons. Even humans have not been corroded by demonic energy, let alone plants.

It's just that most of these normal plants have been cut down. If this tree hadn't grown here, it would have been cut down long ago.

The surrounding trees are very strange, but the trees are just normal plants.

However, the leaves of plants are not normal green, but scarlet. They are also wrapped in a layer of ice, like plasma frozen into ice.

"Strange, Chen Kui didn't mean that this is the entrance to the dungeon, and we didn't see where the dungeon is?"

"Did you get fooled by that guy?"

Guitong frowned in doubt.

A smile appeared at the corner of Yue Chen's mouth, and he took out a stone with a faint halo from the system space.

The halo on the stone illuminates everyone, there is a warm feeling, like bathing in the warm sun, very comfortable.

However, it is not so friendly to the surrounding plants. As the light shines, the surrounding plants make a hissing sound, which is obviously burned by the light.

Not only that, the bright red ice gradually melted, giving off a burnt smell.

However, there was a subtle change in the towering giant tree in front of Yue Chen's eyes, and the solid trunk gradually faded, and then an entrance was revealed on his body.

"How is this going?"

Guitong frowned, puzzled.

Yue Chen smiled lightly and said: "It's very simple, it's a small mechanism. What I took out is a spar with light attributes, which can emit the power of light attributes."

"For the surrounding demonized plants, it is no less toxic. For this plant that the Chen family once carefully cultivated, it is the key to the entrance to the dungeon."

"If there were no such small means, I am afraid the underground city would have been discovered or captured by the demons long ago!"

Everyone nodded, but their expressions were still solemn.

If secretly, Chen Kui and others would encounter danger when entering the dungeon, proving that the monsters in the dungeon are definitely not easy to deal with.

"Your Majesty, do you know what kind of danger Chen Kui and the others encountered in the underground city?"

Bai Qi suddenly frowned and asked.
