Reborn as a tree

Chapter 73 I Will

A few days later, Lin Deshui sent the first batch of enlistment lists to He Jiu.

After looking at it for a while, He Jiu ticked off a few guys with the faintest green light, and agreed with the rest.

Soon, the first batch of about thirty young and strong men were brought to He Jiushu.

After taking the oath, these men became Shenmu Village reserve soldiers.

On the same day, they started training under the hands of the three Tibetan mastiff brothers.

He Jiu felt helpless when he saw a group of men with green lights shouting chaotic slogans to start training.

Obviously, the three Tibetan mastiff brothers are not suitable to be instructors at all.

"You Laosan won't train me to create a bunch of brain twitches, will he? '

He Jiu felt that these fighters could not be counted on in a short time.

After pondering for a while, he turned his idea to Lei Chong.

A few months ago, when Lei Chong dreamed of being the king of insects, he caught many poisonous insects, but He Jiu rejected them all.

However, in the previous battle to besiege Yuan Jinshan and others, Zixi's bee army had already proved the strength of the swarm.

So He Jiu intends to restart the plan.

He poked Lei Chong and said, "Do you still want to be the king of insects?"

Lei Chong was lying on He Jiu's branch basking in the sun at the moment, it shook its head and said, "Squeak!"

He Jiuyi was stunned and said, "Why? Didn't you want to come here before?"

Lei Chong continued to shake his head and said, "Squeak!"

'God, it's not delicious!I made you the bug king, but I didn't let you be the chef! '

He Jiuqiang resisted the urge to complain, and said patiently: "I didn't let you eat them, I planned to let you catch them back and be my younger brother!"

"Squeak..."

"Last time, the situation was special. The ones you caught were too ugly. This time, if you catch some good-looking ones, I will agree!"

"Squeak..."

"..."

After He Jiu tried his best to persuade him for a while, Lei Chong couldn't eat the soup, and he didn't want to be the king of insects anymore.

The little guy's non-violent and non-cooperative attitude immediately made He Jiu angry.

His roots suddenly rolled, and rolled down the thunderworm that was basking in the sun.

He Jiu put the thunder insect in front of the tree, and said lightly: "Say you are willing!"

Thunderworm seemed to have expected this situation long ago, its claws parted left and right, and said helplessly: "Squeak!"

He Jiu shook his roots in satisfaction and said, "Good boy!"

After releasing the thunderworms, He Jiu ordered Lin Deshui to arrange for some carpenters to rush out a batch of wooden bows and wooden swords in the last few days.

The wooden swords are for the training of the warriors in the village, and the wooden bows are for the little girls under Tang Chuyu.

After arranging all these, He Jiu practiced again with the Lightning Strike Wood.

These days of practice have reduced the lightning strike wood in that warehouse by a small corner.

The result in exchange was that the destructive aura in He Jiushu's core suppressed the vitality in turn.

Although under photosynthesis, He Jiu will produce a lot of vitality every day.

However, the growth rate of vitality in the tree core is still not as fast as the growth rate of the destructive aura.

After all, it is too convenient to practice with lightning strike wood.

The purple and green energies were out of balance again, which made He Jiu have to be careful all the time when he was practicing, and the speed of his cultivation naturally dropped.

This made He Jiu often regret that he swallowed all the essence of life that day. If he had kept some at that time, his current cultivation speed would not be restricted.

These days, he let Lao Zi try to buy life essence in Baishan City.

However, no life essence is produced in Baishan City, and the previous life essence is already the last stock of Baishan City.

So if He Jiu wanted the essence of life, he could only wait for the caravan from outside to arrive.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long, the caravan was coming soon.

According to the latest information from Lao Guanzi, the foreign caravan is about to arrive at Baishan City.

And the next stop of Baishan City is Shenmu Village.

In the next few days, He Jiu continued to burn porcelain, making preparations for the arrival of the caravan.

……

More than ten days later, in He Jiu's anticipation, the caravan from outside finally arrived at Shenmu Village.

Originally, the route of this caravan did not include Shenmu Village.

But businessmen are after profit, and the leader of the caravan heard that Shenmu Village had plundered the wealth of the Baishan City Lord's Mansion, so at the kind invitation of Lao Kanzi, he half-pushed and half-assedly added Shenmu Village as a stop.

The number of this caravan is not large, only about two or three hundred people, but they actually have dozens of carriages.

None of the caravans in the nearby cities could afford so many carriages.

At this time, Lao Kanzi was greeting the caravan leader Xiao Lingtong.The soldiers brought back by the old man were at the end of the team, chatting with some merchants behind.

These small merchants are not members of the caravan, they just acted together with the caravan after paying the protection fee to the caravan.

In addition to the protection fee, these small merchants had to give the caravan a certain percentage of every transaction they made.

Although the requirements of this caravan are very strict, the number of merchants following the caravan has never decreased every year.

When He Jiu's spirit sense swept across the team, he was surprised to find that the caravan guards rarely spoke except to maintain order.

The discipline of these guards is very strict, as if they have been trained for a long time.

What surprised He Jiu even more was that Hua Jian'an, the leader of the caravan's guard, had a profound aura, far surpassing that of ordinary mountain-level warriors.When He Jiu's spiritual consciousness swept over, he actually noticed something.

'He is actually a Ze-level master!This caravan can afford to hire Ze-level masters as guards! '

Although He Jiu had heard from Old Kanzi that the leader of the guard, Hua Jian'an, was a powerful guy, he was still quite surprised when he confirmed that this person was a Ze-level master.

Just looking at the configuration of this caravan, it can be described as extremely luxurious.

This is the first time He Jiu has seen a real Ze-level master in this world, and it is also the first time he has seen so many horses.

For a while, He Jiu actually had a little inferiority complex in his mind.

"Grandma, when my territory develops, I will also set up a caravan to roam around, so that people in other cities will be jealous once a year!" '

After He Jiu complained, the caravan finally entered Shenmu Village.

After entering Shenmu Village, the merchants who were chatting happily rushed into the square one after another.I'm afraid that if I run too slowly, the good position will be taken away by other merchants.

While they were vying for some good spots, they tacitly reserved the best spots for the caravan.

Those merchants who grabbed good positions set up their booths immediately.Those who didn't get a good position continued to search with a sad face.

All of this was done spontaneously by the merchants, and they were not managed by the caravan guards at all.

He Jiu looked at the orderly appearance of the merchants, and then looked at his own chaotic militia group, and suddenly felt a little bit pained.

The messy militia group in Shenmu Village was very eye-catching, and the caravan leader Xiao Lingtong saw them immediately.

Xiao Lingtong was used to seeing accidents, so he didn't stare at the militia group, but just swept his eyes away.

It seems that he didn't notice it, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

'A group of upstarts! '

Xiao Lingtong mentally defined Shenmu Village, and at the same time secretly decided to raise the price a bit in the next transaction.
