Giant insect world raises flying chickens

Chapter 71 Undercurrent
A batch of ingredients were quickly piled up in the courtyard of Dawn Tavern, and more advanced materials were placed in the warehouse and kitchen.

Huck looked at the list in his hand and quickly browsed through it.

The mercenaries in charge of carrying carried bags of materials to the corner of the yard. Standing next to Huck were members of the Pharmacists' Guild and the Mercenary Union.

Mary looked at Huck and stopped looking at it for a while, and asked, "Your Highness Huck, these are the checklists, please sign here after you check."

Huck nodded and said, "It's roughly the same, yes."

Huck took a pen and wrote his name on the list.

Mary checked Huck's signature, carefully put it away and said, "Your Highness Huck, have you ever studied arithmetic?"

Before Huck could speak, Abudu next to him explained: "There are people in your mercenary guild who know Huck, and the people there should know whether Huck can do arithmetic."

Mary said modestly: "I'm usually not in charge of the counter business. This matter is my negligence. It seems that His Royal Highness Huck's arithmetic should be very good."

Huck looked at the ingredients on the ground, "These things must be used up as soon as possible, otherwise Celia will definitely be angry when she comes back and finds that the place is messy and full of stench."

Mary took the initiative and said, "The mercenary guild can provide a quiet place."

Abu Du smiled and said, "There's no need for this, our pharmacist's guild has enough experience to deal with this."

When a large amount of ingredients are gathered, it needs to be cooled and preserved. At this time, ice mages can be used to cool down, or some cooling equipment can be used.

The Pharmacists Guild has that kind of equipment and venue, but Huck doesn't want to go there.

"Sister Mary, I'll trouble you about cooling down. I'll take care of all these things as soon as possible. You can come over twice a day, or you can find someone to replace it. In short, it's good if someone comes over and uses the refrigerator spell."

Mary didn't know Huck's true level, and still regarded Huck as an ordinary person in some things.

At present, it is only known that Huck has a very rare dragon blood, and at the same time, there is an extremely terrifying power hidden in his body. Once it breaks out, he will attack regardless of the enemy or himself.

"I can do it by myself. When will you start, Your Highness Huck?"

Mary is in charge of this matter on behalf of the mercenary guild of Fort Huitou.

Huck said: "It's fine now, I'm going to try some combinations of worm meat now."

There were too many things in the yard, and Huck quickly chose several ingredients in his memory for cooking.

"Rotten scorpions, soldier ants, red soil worms, tree cicada soil worms, red jade earthworms, giant-sounding tree cicadas..."

Huck asked people to cut up several ingredients. With the thugs from the mercenary guild here, there was no need for Lily to tear the carapaces of those insects by herself.

The stove in the kitchen is already lit, and workers are constantly adding black coals that can burn longer.

Huck took a sharp knife and walked to the side of the rotten scorpion. This struggling black scorpion had been pinned to the ground by a powerful mercenary, and even the poisonous tail was covered by heavy boots. He stepped on the ground and couldn't move.

"Here, and here." Huck scratched the side of the carapace scorpion and the position of the carapace fault with the tip of the knife a few times, "I don't want the rest of the meat, it's poisonous."

Huck's knife was like chalk, drawing a safe area on the poisonous scorpion's body.

Not a safe area for a scorpion, but a safe area for a predator.

After telling the helpers to keep those parts of the scorpion meat, Huck gave pointers to the soldier ants and tree cicada larvae.

"Mr. Abudu, I know very well that there are some things that I can eat, but others can't. How do pharmacists usually help ordinary people get better digestion?"

Abu has improved on Huck's abilities, and finds that Huck not only has a strong body, but also has extraordinary qualities in character and wisdom.

"If it's a magic potion, it's usually taken by people of the same level, so it's generally not considered that some people who don't know how to drink high-level potions."

Abu Du explained: "The value of advanced potions is reflected in life-saving and important moments. Buyers themselves are reluctant to use them casually, so how can they fall on those who are not as powerful as themselves?"

"If you insist on taking advanced potions if you are not strong enough, you will die of stupidity."

Huck was a little speechless. It seems that pharmacists in this world are not responsible for after-sales service.

Since you don't need to be responsible for yourself, it will save a lot of trouble.

Huck quickly said: "I have been eating the meat of high-level monsters all these years. In fact, the value of worm meat is not high. I found that low-level worm meat is much better than low-level monsters, but after a slightly higher level, the worm meat The value of meat starts to drop rapidly."

Mary said: "I don't agree with this evaluation. In the mercenary guild, the value of high-level giant worms has always been very high."

Huck said: "I have also taken on many missions in the mercenary guild, and I have seen many mercenary regiments who came back with loot from giant worms. There are also many corpses of giant worms in the market."

"I mean the flesh of the worm, not the carapace and chelicerae of the giant worm."

Huck has been thinking about this issue for a long time, and today he took this opportunity to reveal the news to the members of the Mercenary Guild and the Pharmacist Guild.

"I guess the bugs' reproduction speed is too fast, causing most of the nutrition to be concentrated in the young period. After growing up, most of the previous energy is consumed. In the later stage, they can only maintain their own consumption through hunting."

Both Mary and Abu were listening seriously at this moment, but they didn't take this kind of nonsense to heart at all.

"Isn't this kind of thing normal?" Ailan walked over. She came back from the temple very early today.

Huck glanced at Ailan and continued, "I've heard that the land occupied by bugs will lose its vitality. I think the main reason for the loss of vitality is not a curse, but that the bugs eat everything that can be eaten."

Ailan smiled and said, "Then what's the difference between this and a curse?"

Mary also agreed with Alan's words, "The demons have a curse called barrenness. Judging from the history of the emergence of the demons, destroying everything is what those demons are good at."

Huck feels that there is a difference between the insect king and the demon king. Although from the performance point of view, no grass grows in the places they pass, but the demons are peeled, and the insects are destroyed.

For example, the ruby ​​earthworm that can eat all the matter in the soil, and the low-level insects are all set to eat whatever they have, and transfer the energy of the earth to the higher-level insects through their own bodies.

Like, the Lord of the Empire in the historical records.

Huck didn't continue to express his guesses. In fact, he also had some mistrust of the people around him, and vaguely felt the invasion of the demons and zergs.

Since the plan of the demons was exposed, those demons began to do things in various parts of the mainland, and at the same time the giant worms began to eat away at the land and population of the border areas.

As Celia said, there is not much peace in this continent.

***
In an unknown ancient castle, a middle-aged man in an elegant dress sat on a gorgeous red chair, quietly looking at the ancient book in his hand.

Not far in front of the man, several figures hidden in the darkness were kneeling quietly on the ground.

The noble man on the ornate chair is not human. Although he looks like a human or an elf, he is actually the king of vampires among the four heavenly kings under the demon king.

In the Demon King's Army, he is known as the Ghost King.

The King of Ghosts browsed through the ancient books with great interest. This thick and classic-looking book is exactly the rumored Teigu 【Book】.

"Very good, our tribe has obtained the [Book], and the Zerg King has obtained the [Water Well] from the Sea Clan. How about the Black King and the Beast King?"

A female voice hidden in the darkness said: "Still in a stalemate, the Black King is instigating against the Lich in the resting place, looking for Teigu's whereabouts."

"The Beastmaster has already snatched the Teigu, but he was hunted down by the other Beastmaster. The Teigu has disappeared during the battle."

There are 24 Teigu in total, and the twelve known ones are all useful.

The King of Worms snatched the unrecorded Teigu [Water Well] from the Sea Clan. The Black King only knew that there was a Teigu in the resting place, but it was not clear what it was.

The Beastmaster is attacking the Kingdom of Dou led by the orcs, and there should be at least one piece of Teigu there as well.

The Ghost King lowered his head, flipped through the [Book], and soon found the answer.

"Oh, I found it. The Teigu that the two Beastmasters are fighting for is [Boots]."

The ghost king showed a look of surprise, "This Teigu is a battle artifact, and it has extremely strong intelligence. It can stay in any space, ignoring all rules and restrictive magic."
