Otherworldly Skeleton
Chapter 69
A blue-haired young man stood alone on the edge of a sparse pine forest. There was a bonfire six meters away from his feet, on which were roasted fat pheasants. The man is as fat and strong as a bull, his face is as firm as a rock bump, and the thin one has shoulder-length hair. He has a handsome face, especially his right eye, which is actually an extremely rare light red pupil, which makes him handsome. His face exudes a unique enchanting charm.
The man with the square pimple face is tearing the drumsticks and eating them.
The man with reddish pupils took a sip of the leather water bag in his hand, staring into the distance in thought.
"Why me again?" The blue-haired young man spread his hands and complained to his two agitated companions.
"Howard... I'm sorry... I'm hungry and I don't have the strength." The lumpy face said inarticulately, even in the process of speaking, he didn't stop chewing.
The man with reddish pupils didn't seem to hear the blue-haired youth's words at all.
Howard turned around naively, facing the thirty or so ragged robbers in front of him, holding all kinds of crude weapons: "Brother robbers, as you can see, we really don't have much money, why don't you just leave?"
"I bother!"
"Take off your clothes!"
"I'll kill you!"
The robbers yelled, but they all kept running away. They were all small soldiers, just to attract the attention of the target, so they didn't dare to take the initiative.
A cold light flashed in Howard's eyes, he put away his smile and said, "Are you going to go or not?"
"Go away... woo... woo... ah..."
Just as the robber was halfway cursing, his cheeks suddenly lit up, and soon surpassed the afterglow of the setting sun penetrating through the pine forest, and then the smell of burning came out, his face became red and transparent, and then gradually turned yellow It turned black and was burned through in his screams, revealing two rows of ugly yellow teeth and a weird red ball in his mouth.
It was a fireball. The soldiers and robbers had seen magic before, but they had never seen such a weird magic. Howard didn't chant, but raised his hand gently, and the fireball appeared in the robber's mouth out of thin air... ...what kind of magic is this?
"Red pill—explosion!" Howard let go of his raised fist coldly, the fireball in the robber's mouth burst suddenly, and a huge impact force was released suddenly, and the robber with the fireball in his mouth was the first to be blasted. The blood, brains, minced meat, and broken bones were burned into hot hidden weapons of death, and rushed towards the bandits and miscellaneous soldiers who were standing densely.
"Let's chat." The young man with reddish pupils suddenly sighed when he didn't come, and then squeezed his fist lightly: "It's decided, let's take a walk on that rotten ground while they're messing things up."
The screams of the robbers and miscellaneous soldiers resounded through the pine forest, but there were a few whistling sounds faintly.
The lumpy face who was eating a big meal suddenly stood up. His seemingly bulky body turned out to be so flexible. With just a twist of his waist, he pulled out the giant ax and flashed behind Howard. He quickly turned into a huge phantom in his hand, and shot down all the dozens of hidden arrows shot at Howard's back from a hidden corner.
The man with red pupils casually picked up a few arrows from the ground, and after breaking them a few times, they turned into a large handful of broken arrows, and he threw them back casually.
There were no screams, but the sound of the wind brought a slight sound of sharp weapons entering the flesh and a strong smell of blood.
"Let's go!" The man with red pupils walked towards the west, "It's time to celebrate this damn winter for the skeletons."
…………
Walking behind Ke Erwen, Lu Yan looked at the strange attire on the old fox in surprise.
Lined with white fur and wrapped in black leather, a well-fitting leather jacket wraps Kerwin's body tightly. From a distance, it doesn't look like a skeleton at all, but a black dog-shaped animal, which is more luxurious Surprisingly, there are many hidden pockets on the leather jacket, which are sewn with materials that are not afraid of high temperatures. Two of Kerwin's men follow around with a fire plate, and from time to time stuff the hot, lightweight hollow bones into the pockets. Into the fur coat, to keep Kirwyn's constant warmth.
"Hehe, Mr. Zhan Gu, don't look at me like that, I'm sorry." Ke Erwen teased Lu Yan with a sneer.
Lu Yan praised: "I am amazed at how familiar you are with winter. If every skeleton is like you, then the so-called dormant month can be completely cancelled."
"Haha, old man, I have this experience because I have been in the white wood business for many years and had to work in the coldest winter, but it will consume a lot of bones." Kerwin said unhappily: "This This leather jacket is the snow-capped bear skin on Mount Edin in the north of Rudinlun Continent. The fur alone is worth 200 million calories. In addition, there is an enchantment effect that automatically wraps bones inside to prevent feet from slipping. There is also an insulation to prevent the fur from being scalded. Heat-enchanting pockets, the entire suit can’t be beat with 300 million cards!”
Lu Yan was amazed when he heard that, just like Ke Erwen and Zoe, they are rich old businessmen.
"Besides, I'm old, no matter how much I pour soul-inducing water, I can't keep my bones from losing. My body shrinks a lot every year, so every three years I have to rebuild a new leather jacket. Just think about the cost. How terrifying." As Kerwin said, he shook his head again and again.
Lu Yan glanced at the hundreds of skeletons wrapped in heavy leather boots sweeping snow in front of him, and asked Ke Erwen sincerely: "Mr. Ke Erwen, this white wood seems to be a very cheap commodity, is it so profitable? "
"Hey, you kid don't want to abandon the army and go into business?" Kerwin said with a smile: "But you are such a smart skeleton, you can do great things anywhere, and there is no secret in the white wood collection industry. If we want to make money, the key lies in what we are doing now, looking for the new Baimu forest."
"Oh?"
"The whitewood forest grows randomly. It only takes 9 days from budding to complete forest formation, that is, less than half a month. After forming a forest, they will not expand. Basically, it will always be this amount, and it will not spread year by year like human forests."
Lu Yan and Ke Erwen walked while talking, and the surrounding skeletons were sweeping a lot of snow, because if you want to judge the bones, you must first find a special thing on the ground.
"There is a specific way to find white wood. The army skeletons have been fighting all year round, and the death rate is extremely high, and the high-level skeletons that can survive are not interested in gadgets like white wood, so the secret of exploring the white wood forest has always been in the hands of us traders. "Kerwin said proudly: "In fact, most of the known whitewood forests, such as the Blackwater City ruled by Lord Zexis, have a total of 82 whitewood forests, and about 70 of them were found by nearby vendors. , I own the first private collection right of 28 forests.”
The Keerwen family monopolizes more than one-third of the private first-collection rights in Baimu Forest around Heishui City, and Lu Yan can't help but secretly rejoice that he has found the right guide.
"You know that the white wood collected by the army skeletons is not sold to civilians... Then the market appeared. Don't the tens of millions of civilian skeletons in Blackwater City keep warm, don't use soul baths, don't they need to drink tea and wine?" Cole Wen Shuluo said: "Therefore, there are nearly 10 small white wood vendors near Heishui City in order to collect white wood for the common people in the city, and more than [-] vendors come and go in the trading center of Shuibei Town every month. huge market!"
Lu Yan finally realized how huge this market is. He thought that skeletons are afraid of heat, but they are actually more afraid of cold. In order to dispel the severe cold, such a huge market was born.
There was a commotion in the coolie skeletons in the distance, and it seemed that they had discovered something. After glancing at it, Ke Erwen quickened his pace, and said at the same time: "In fact, I seldom actively sell white wood. The collection fee is 10 card for every 1 kilograms of white wood, and a medium-sized white wood forest will have at least 3000 million kilograms of white wood flow out of my hands, except for most of the army's use, which is 300 million calories profit."
"If there are 28 forests... that's nearly 1 million cards in profit? Really making money!" Lu Yan quickened his pace to keep up with Ke Erwen, and at the same time exclaimed sincerely. He finally understood why Ke Erwen was so keen on taking risks to find the new Bai Mulin Yes, because every first private collection right means huge profits.
Seeing Ke Erwen approaching, the crowded skeletons separated automatically, revealing a tiny crack in the soul gap on the ground, and beside the palm-width soul gap, there was a gray smooth stone.
Ke Erwen approached solemnly, then took off the leather gloves that were in the way, and gently pushed aside the rotten soil around the stone with its two front paws. Lu Yan also squatted beside the stone, and he was suddenly surprised to see , the stone moved a bit.
"Bring water!" cried Kerwin.
Immediately, a skeleton came over with a bowl of warm soul-inducing water. Ke Erwen took the porcelain bowl and carefully sprinkled the soul-inducing water around the stone.
The stone trembled slightly immediately, and Ke Erwen gently loosened the muck around it with his hands, helping it to arch outward a little bit, and soon revealed its true colors, an oval skull.
"Is this a skeleton?" Lu Yan asked in surprise.
Kerwin shook his head: "This thing is called a stone bone, and it cannot be regarded as a complete skeleton, because it has no body other than the skull. They are often buried under the soil for several years, and some of them really turn into bones." turned into stone, and some developed into these skulls that could feel rotting spirits."
"The so-called judging the bone, is it to find this kind of thing?"
Ke Erwen took out a delicate fingertip and put it on the right bone claw. The tip of the fingertip was a little cold and very sharp. He put the fingertip on the side of the stone bone and stroked it lightly: "Don't say it, judge the bone." It is to judge the texture of the inner surface of the stone bone, although the stone bone is very common, but not every stone bone is valuable, let's see how this one is."
Ke Erwen's bone claws made a full circle with great dexterity, pressed lightly, and pried off the upper end of the stone bone. He took off his fingertips and turned the round skull over. .
Lu Yan looked over, and the inside of the stone bone was hollow like the skull, with a few vague holes|eyes, which were probably undeveloped organ mouths. The stone bone was indeed shapeless as Kerwin said. The inside of the opened stone bone was covered with black sludge. A skeleton handed Kerwin a soft brush, and Kerwin carefully looked at the inside of the cut stone bone. clean up.
It took about 2 minutes for Ke Erwen to complete the cleaning work, and Lu Yan finally saw the real appearance of the inner side of the stone bone.
The man with the square pimple face is tearing the drumsticks and eating them.
The man with reddish pupils took a sip of the leather water bag in his hand, staring into the distance in thought.
"Why me again?" The blue-haired young man spread his hands and complained to his two agitated companions.
