Otherworldly Skeleton

As soon as it was dark, Lu Yan started to act with the help of Hong Magu. The 60 kilograms of soul-inducing water that was originally planned to be brought to the small city to disrupt the market was taken out and put on the south of the city market at a price of 08 calories per gram. sell.

Due to Lu Gunmo's reputation and Hong Magu's excellent connections, Chen Shui, which can only be sold for 06 calories per gram, was sold out in just a few hours, and Lu Yan's total funds increased again. 48 cards, plus the 8 cards from the previous day, now he has a total property of nearly 13 cards.

Normally speaking, this is already the extreme. It is estimated that any battle bone in Heishui City will not be able to obtain a higher profit than that, but the task is the task. It is agreed that 30 cards, if it does not meet the standard, it will not be able to complete the task. Ze Kexis didn't have time to consider whether the price of soul-inducing water was stable or fluctuating. If he only submitted 13 cards, what awaited Lu Yan could only be cannon fodder.

In order not to become cannon fodder, Lu Yan took the 13 cards and headed straight to the north of the city. The area of ​​Heishui City is not small, with a road of more than [-] kilometers from south to north. Luckily for Lu Yan, Hong Magu who followed him was exhausted. It was almost falling apart, but it was Ah Jiu who kept supporting him, and finally arrived at the cheap water market in the north of the city before dawn.

Compared with the prosperity of the water market in the south, the north side is much deserted. The strong warriors squatting behind the stalls, staring coldly at every passing customer. It doesn't look like selling water, it's just like selling water. It's like trying to rob, and the soul-inducing water of the war bones is old water, which is not fresh enough. The vendors are not willing to buy it, and they dare not bargain with the fierce war bones, so the water market in the north of the city looks depressed.

"In the past, the collection of soul-inducing water was not released. Vendors had to come to the north of the city to buy water. The old water of the war bones was never afraid of not being able to sell. Now the situation has changed. Their water is always unsellable, and the water is released more and more. The longer it lasts, the less valuable it is. If you are brave, you can bargain hard.” Before entering the water market, Hong Magu first taught Lu Yan the business classics.

Lu Yan also asked with great interest: "Boss Hong, how long does it take to get from Heishui City to the nearest city of Luluji?"

"If you use Niutai to transport, if you only rest for 6 hours during the day, you can arrive at Tunze City, the westernmost city of Yuyaoji, within 6 days." Hong Magu thought for a while, and reported the approximate time.

"In other words, the water collected within 10 days should be worth buying?"

"Well, yes, within 10 days, plus 6 days on the road, when we arrive at Tunze City, the soul-inducing water will be collected in 16 days, and there are 4 days before it expires. These 4 days are enough for adults They were sold out in Tunze City."

"Okay, you go and help me hire ten cattle platforms, and I will collect the water." Lu Yan took out 1 bone cards and handed them to Hong Magu, and then walked into the water market with Ah Jiu.

Arriving at the very center of the water city in the north of the city, Lu Yan jumped onto a high platform, pulled out the White Bee Flame Gun, thrust it into his side, and shouted: "Water is collected at a low price, and it will not wait until it expires!"

Lu Yan’s asking price is 5 calories per gram for Chenshui on the 06th, and 6 calories per gram for Chenshui on the 05th... In this way, every time you add soul-inducing water for one day, the purchase price will be reduced by 01 calories per gram. , but buying and selling are free, never buy and sell by force.

Vendors don't know how to deal with war bones, but Lu Yan knows that what these soldiers worship most is strength, and what they admire most is arrogant fairness. He uses white bees to show his strength, and uses arrogant prices to show fairness. No one War Bone will object, and no one will come up to refute. Those who are not interested can walk away, and those who are not confident can get rid of the soul water as soon as possible. It's as simple as that.

Among the battle bones, there are very few skeletons who can reach Lu Yan's IQ. Otherwise, these big bosses would not be stuck in the water market in the north of the city according to their previous experience. Therefore, when Lu Yan's purchase price was thrown out, although many Skull felt pity, but still sold the soul-inducing water to Lu Yan without hesitation. After all, their task amount was very small, and after selling the soul-inducing water, the shortfall would not be much, so just think of other ways Add some more and you'll be done.

Ah Jiu used a few bone cones to help Lu Yan test the storage time of the soul-inducing water. There was no scale on the bone cones, and Lu Yan could not see any obvious changes when they were put into the soul-inducing water, but Ah Jiu was able to use this Tested the storage time of the soul-inducing water, and there was a mistake.

The sun gradually rose, and there was an endless stream of war bones who came here to sell soul-inducing water. After the army returned to the city, a large amount of soul-inducing water was distributed and sold. I could only see a few lonely vendors. The day before yesterday, there was a disagreement, and two small vendors were beaten to death. Later, there were no skeletons. I didn’t expect a big vendor to come today. There are two big leather bags, so the warriors who are busy with tasks are eager to sell the soul-inducing water in hand.

From day to noon, Lu Yan completed the purchase.

Nine "Niutai" were lined up under the arbor. Hong Magu, who was hot and tired, did not hide from the sun, but happily labeled the water bags on each cattle platform. After arriving in Tunze City, he still pressed them According to the storage date, the price is divided into sales, and I have been in the soul-inducing water business for a lifetime. I have never managed so many soul-inducing water at one time. Hong Magu has a strange excitement.

Ah Jiu was also sweating all over from exhaustion, her little face was flushed and very cute, with a smile on her face, she was helping Hong Magu tidy up the water bag together.

Lu Yan is still curious about the structure of the cow platform. This kind of thing is similar to a human bullock cart. There is a skeleton cow in front, and an iron rod is inserted into the rear hip bone, and a wooden cart is tied behind it. , The wooden rails on both sides of the wooden cart have been worn very smooth, and there are many iron rings tied with ropes on the board to facilitate fixing the goods. Most of the ropes have turned yellow, and it looks like they are often used.

Lu Yan's goods are 450 kilograms of soul-inducing water. In addition to the same batch of 6-day Chenshui as him, he bought a lot of 7-, 8-, and 9-day Chenshui that is popular in the market in the north of the city. With a kilogram of soul-inducing water, the nine cattle platforms have distributed all the goods without any pressure at all. Under this weight, the cattle platform can maintain a good speed of movement, which can help Lu Yan reach Tunze City earlier.

In addition, because Lu Yan has no subordinates of Honggu, Hong Magu also helped him find more than 30 coolie skeletons. Most of these skeletons are wandering skeletons wandering outside the city, relying on their strength to drink soul water in the city.

Hong Magu sent it all the way to the southern outskirts of the city. Before breaking up, Hong Magu brought Ah Jiu to Lu Yan: "Master Lu, on the territory of skeletons, human beings without any skills can only be reduced to reproductive tools. My old bones can no longer protect me." Ah Jiu is now, please take her with you on this trip, if she can help you, I hope you can keep her as your personal slave."

"Boss Hong, this trip to deliver water is too dangerous, I really don't have the confidence to protect..." Lu Yan just resigned to the side, his words were interrupted by Hong Magu.

The pig-shaped skeleton bent its legs and knelt on the ground: "Master Lu, Ah Jiu can settle accounts and distinguish water, and you have also seen her... There is no bad smell, please take her in, waiting for her fate is worse than death tragic."

Lu Yan was silent, and suddenly he saw two lines of tears streaming down Ajiu's delicate face, the girl stood silently, despair and hope alternated back and forth in her beautiful big eyes, and felt something in her heart was suppressed. Touched, Lu Yan nodded silently, and pulled Ah Jiu behind him.

…………

A group of more than 30 skeletons and nine cattle platforms quietly left from the south gate of Heishui City and headed for Tunze City 180 kilometers away. On the wall of Heishui City, Karen Val, whose body was covered with purple grape juice, stood In the afterglow, looking at the back of Lu Yan who was gradually going away, the tall bone dragon murmured to himself: "This little guy can really fix it!"

In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, Lu Yan took off the red rags on the neck bone, and at the same time set up a red flag on the frame of the first Niutai, with a big red "Shang" embroidered on it According to Hong Magu's experience, this flag is enough to dispel the suspicion of most city guards.

Lu Yan cleared a small space on the platform of the first car, and let Ah Jiu sit on it. The little girl who left home for the first time seemed not in a good mood, so Lu Yan would naturally take care of her more, thinking of Hong Magu seeing her off Lu Yan always felt that there were some bad premonitions about those dejected words at that time.

The black soil on the Skull Continent is not flat. Tiny potholes can be seen everywhere, sometimes accompanied by bottomless cracks. These cracks are the harbingers of the formation of soul gaps. Generally, their openings do not exceed half a meter. Let the skeletons fall, but they often get stuck on the wheels of the bull platform. For this reason, Lu Yan ordered the mercenary skeletons to tie the water bags firmly to the bull platform to prevent them from falling into the gap.

The iron-framed wooden cart at the back of the cow platform is artificially built. The skeleton cow pulling the cart in front is different from the real bull-shaped skeleton warrior. This kind of skeleton cow has a low IQ and is a mutant skeleton. Other skeletons generally They are called "skeleton animals". Skeleton animals cannot be distinguished when they are in the gray bone stage and red stock stage. Only when they reach the war bone stage will they be screened out because of their extremely low IQ.

Hong Magu's eyes are very poisonous. The cattle platform he chooses are all skeleton animals screened from the battlefield. They have a strong physique and a vigorous pace. The speed in the wild is not lower than that of ordinary war bones. The pain tolerance is very high, they can even drive in the sun, and they are not much slower than at night.

The nine high-quality cattle platforms made Lu Yan much faster than expected. At noon on the second day of departure, they had already completed half of the distance. Arrived at Tunze City at night.

The motorcade gradually drove into a whitewood forest shrouded in morning light. The smooth whitewood stands spotlessly on top of the black soil, and their thick and simple branches are like bone frames. It is suspected that these white woods are also a kind of mutated skeletons.

Lu Yan waved the white bee to sweep away the branches of the white wood on the road ahead, and the light yellow oil quickly seeped out from the cracks of the white wood. Combustibility, both for civilian and military use, is of great value. Lu Yan knows that there is a task in the army to collect rough white wood stumps. Generally, white wood stumps are thick white wood with a diameter of more than three meters. They are used for siege and defense. They are all very useful weapons. Using a catapult to throw burning whitewood stumps into hostile skeleton groups is a tactic that every high-level skeleton is familiar with.

Ever since he entered the Baimu forest, Lu Yan had been worried about whether the bones of other forces would come to this forest after receiving the task of collecting Baimu. This worry became a reality about two hours later. The morning wind through the Birchwood brought the sound of heavy logging in the woods to the east.
