Otherworldly Skeleton

The bone ant's coccyx is an oval semi-closed bone armor. There are several main bones connected to the sternum. The interior is hollow, and there is a finger-thick hole in the tail. When the wind is strong, align the upper end of the bone ant's coccyx with the air outlet. , it also makes a strange whining noise.

The hired skeletons under Kerwin took off the tailbone of the bone ant and chiseled it open with a sharp iron awl, revealing a layer of sludge-like deposits inside. They scraped off the sludge with the prepared bone slices In the pot, the sludge taken out by every one hundred bone ants can fill half of the pot, and then fill the big pot with lake water and put it on the fire to cook.

The skeletons put a closed iron cover on top of the cauldron. A long drainage tube protruded from the top of the cover, and the other end of the drainage tube was a prepared glass container.

After the water is boiled, transparent water comes out first after cooling through the drainage tube. The skeletons store the water aside and wait for it to be used to repeatedly boil the sludge. When the water in the cauldron is about to dry up, drain the water Only a little green oily liquid will appear in the tube, and this liquid is carefully collected into a glass vessel, which is the separated rejuvenation oil.

The rejuvenation oil in 33 glass bottles was finally gathered together and weighed on the bone scales necessary for vendors—354 grams. Boguyi extracted 354 grams of formic acid for a record. So far, the total weight of formic acid he and Ke Erwen obtained in Baimulin is 15 kilograms and 240 grams. Among them, Lu Yan can get 5 kilograms and 120 grams, which is 2500 grams per gram. If the market price of the card is converted...

That's 1280 million calories!

Lu Yan felt that his waist was about to burst, and he happily used the break to observe the process of distilling and extracting formic acid under Ke Erwen's men, with a happy smile on his face all the time, but suddenly, he Seeing Ke Wen walking over with a sad face.

The profit made by this old fox is twice as much as his own. Why is he still looking sad? Could it be that he is not greedy for business?

Lu Yan looked suspiciously, and suddenly he was stunned. He saw a little emerald green light inside Ke Erwen's old and slender black skeleton - the bone soul.

"What's going on here?" Lu Yan looked at Ke Erwen in surprise: "You are always advanced and strong!"

"Hey... that's what I was afraid of, but I didn't expect it to happen." Ke Erwen sighed and said, "Although most of the bone ant rotting souls that were killed have dissipated, there are still some leftovers. My subordinates are scraping, During the distillation operation, it is inevitable that it will absorb a little bit, and those stupid red bones will spontaneously pay their souls to me... so it is like this in the end."

Lu Yan was stunned, he really didn't know what to say, army skeletons were eager to advance, but ordinary civilian skeletons were afraid of advancing, this is a capital offense!

"I have encountered three advanced stages in my life, and this is the fourth time. I have always estimated that it will not happen until next spring. I didn't expect that this time the bone ants killed too many, and advanced advanced ahead of time." Kerwin said painfully Said: "I'm going to suffer again, I don't know if my old bones can resist it."

"Oh? Have you ever advanced to the strong bone stage and then returned to the battle bone?" Lu Yan asked strangely: "Is there such a thing?"

"Of course, in fact, every skeleton vendor who has lived for a long time will encounter this kind of situation. Once rich, who is not willing to bubble more soul-inducing water, and who does not have a social occasion to often drink soul tea and soul wine? Rotten souls are accumulating in our bodies, and we are slowly moving towards the bone-building stage." Ke Erwen spread out his left bone claw to show Lu Yan: "It's just that my talent is not bad, so the speed of passive advancement to bone-building is faster than other people. Skeletons are faster, so naturally they have to suffer more.”

Lu Yan saw that there were 16 joints in Keerwen's bone claws.

Such a high talent, Lu Yan was secretly taken aback. The small stage of the strong bone is determined by the small stage of the war bone. It is not a multiple relationship, but a product relationship, or according to an ancient saying, it is the square relation.That is to say, if a skeleton is divided into 10 small stages in the battle bone stage, then he will be divided into 100 small stages in the strong bone stage.

Lu Yan's own battle bone stage is divided into 13 small stages, so when he upgrades to the strong bone stage, he will face 169 subtle advancements.

And this Ke Erwen, the strong bone stage actually only needs 16 advances... Then his battle bone stage only needs 4 small advances to upgrade to the strong bone, his talent is quite amazing.

"Your talent is really amazing, why didn't you join the army?" Lu Yan asked in surprise. With this kind of talent, even if you have average bone skills, you still have a chance to enter the army to develop.

Ke Erwen shook his head: "I don't like fighting and killing, but I have a special liking for business, so I tried my best to hide my talent, but I refused to be selected into the army. Now that I am old, I don't need to hide it anymore, but this Advancement every four years really kills me."

Being cannon fodder in the army is not as comfortable as being a merchant. Lu Yan understood Ke Erwen's choice very well, so he asked instead: "Is it painful to downgrade a strong bone to a war bone?"

Ke Erwen stared at Lu Yan, his face was full of fear: "It is very painful."

Lu Yan followed Ke Erwen to the place between four closely-knit white trees. Ke Erwen lay on the ground and ordered his subordinates to tie his limbs to the four white trees respectively. He asked the ropes to be tied tightly. No slack.

"Brother Lu Yan, I can only trouble you to do it this time." Ke Erwen lay on the ground with his limbs open like a beast waiting to be dissected, and said to Lu Yan: "Don't hesitate when you start, leave me alone Call to stop or scream, the faster you do it, the less pain I will suffer."

"Okay." Lu Yan agitated the ribs in his chest and said, "I'll confirm the process again, do you see that I'm going to cut your skull and spine longitudinally, but don't break them, and then cut the bones apart? Pull out the soul, if it doesn’t come out along my hand, I will cut open the nearest bone, two if one is not enough, ten if two are not enough, until it judges that you are dead, and is willing to follow my hand palms away from your body, right?"

"Yes!" Ke Erwen gritted his teeth and shouted, with a look of determination on his face.

…………

It was a mess, there were broken bones everywhere, some people were still laughing and chasing the fleeing skeletons, but most people had already started collecting firewood to light the fire, and some were building tents to prepare for the coming night.

This is a small village, the soul gap less than 500 meters nourishes more than 2000 skeletons, and there is a miniature white wood forest with less than [-] trees on its side. It's been a month of cold winter, but who knows, it is precisely because of the white wood that attracts the bone hunters who are looking for something to light the fire, and finally destroys their entire village.

Rick walked around anxiously in the snow, looking at the novice bone hunters who were lighting fires in the distance with contemptuous eyes from time to time.

Howard had settled into a meditative posture, but he hadn't yet entered the meditative state. He said softly, "There are already more than 60 people. How could we meet so many bone hunters?"

"Bah, is it called a bone hunter if you rush into the Skeleton Continent with a piece of broken iron to die?" Rick bowed his head and took a sip. He was very disdainful of the behavior of those rookies.

Ai Xi took a sip of water, looked at the sunset in the west with pale red eyes, smiled and said nothing.

"You should tell me, why did you secretly push them to form such a large group to show off?" Howard was really sad, and urged Aixi with a smile: "I know you must have a good plan, but tell the brothers Never mind."

Rick also squatted down quietly immediately: "Yes, yes, talk about it."

Aixi glanced at her two beloved comrades-in-arms, then at the bone hunters who were laughing and talking in the distance, and smiled faintly: "Rick, your ax can kill strong bones, but you are sure against riding bones." ?"

"Bone riding, I can't catch up." Rick said in a low voice, "It's okay to deal with the golden flower warriors of the empire, but it's a bit difficult to deal with bone riding. The mounts of those ghosts run really fast, unless Howard fixes the opponent first. Use that... what to inflame..."

"The Binding of the Flame Snake." Howard continued angrily: "My magic is just a bit more unexpected, and it is still not as good as the magicians of the empire. It may be difficult to deal with the bone knight, but you have already surpassed it, Aixi. With the existence of Golden Flower Martial Artist, if the three of us work together, it won't be a problem to kill a few bone knights."

"Well, it's okay to ride the bone, but what about the general?" Aixi smiled.

The two teammates were stunned, and after a while, Howard said: "No, you can't deal with the bones without the strength of a great warrior or a great magician. They have enough troops on the Skull Continent, and with those abnormal group effects, We have no chance at all!"

But Rick patted his chest and said: "You are timid with blue hair, what are you afraid of, there must be a way for Essie to say that?"

Ai Xi pulled out an exquisite arrow from the quiver, with a golden shaft and arrowhead, and an emerald arrow cluster. The tail was not an arrow feather but a rune scroll wrapped with a golden shaft.

"Bonebreaking Holy Arrow?" Howard covered his mouth in surprise, not letting his exclamation flow out.

The bone-crushing holy arrow is wrapped in a rune scroll written by a great magician or even a magister. It contains bursting holy magic, which can cause fatal damage to the bone skeleton. If it can hit the vital point, it can be hit Must kill, for Ai Xi who is proficient in archery, as long as he can give him a good angle, it is not difficult to hit the vital point.

Rick waved his fist excitedly: "The only thing left is how to lure the general. As long as we can lure one and get him into a fight, we can find a chance to kill him!"

Howard was also very excited, but he was still thinking about the danger in the plan: "After killing the general, how to escape from the siege of his subordinates is also a question to consider."

Ai Xin smiled slightly, raised a finger in her right hand holding the water bag, and casually pointed at the bone hunters beside the fire: "They are the best bait and the 'warriors' in the rear."

…………

"Ouch... Ouch..." Ke Erwen was soaking in the warm soul-inducing water bath and trembling non-stop. Lu Yan almost crushed all his bones before taking the bone soul, tearing the soul consciousness The pain is still tormenting him to this day.

Lu Yan stood in the distance holding the emerald green bone soul and shouted: "Boss Ke Erwen, where do you put this bone soul?"

"Oh—throw it into the soul gap, don't get close to me, or you may be absorbed by me." Ke Erwen yelled in fright.

Poor Ke Erwen, Lu Yan smiled, handed the bone soul to a red bone, and ordered him to throw it into the soul gap.As soon as he gave the order, he saw a red bone subordinate running around from the east of Baimu forest, who was a sentinel stationed in the south.

What's the matter, is there any hostility?Lu Yan's heart tightened, and he went up to meet him.

"My lord." There was a relaxed smile on Red Bone's face: "The bone-riding vanguard sent by Mr. Bernardi has arrived."
