Call of Rebirth

Chapter 10 The Underground Black Market
Underground of Kuzuka Town, the underground tunnels extending vertically and horizontally constitute a well-known underground black market in the mouths of adventurers. When you come to Beast King Ridge, you must stop at Kuzuka Town, and when you go to Kuzuka Town, the underground black market is a must. place.

In the house of Kuzuo, I booked a simple single room with less than ten square meters, only a bed, a table against the wall, and a chair, but the price was as high as ten gold coins a night, which had nothing to do with robbery. The one hundred gold coins he brought with him when he went out couldn't live here for three days.

After a short rest, Han Che entered the underground market of Kuzuka Town along the entrance passage of the underground black market that the coachman said, but the market was not as grand as imagined, it was as magnificent as an underground city, and it looked like The crowded street vendors in the alleys of the poor kilns.

On the side wall next to the brazier, there is a hollow, no more than two or three square meters in size. People and cats are inside. If you wear a black scarf, you can hardly recognize people. In front of you, occupying less than half of the passage. On the stall, several items for sale were randomly placed, and with the light from the brazier above, one could just look at the items above.

There was no sound of hawking, and the people with cats inside the wall almost covered their faces, showing a pair of eyes, unable to see their faces clearly. This was probably a form of self-protection. Han Che stayed in front of each stall for a while, but was just looking at the flowers on horseback. The teeth and scales of monsters that can be used as a summoning medium are the most sold on the stalls, but Han Che, a traveler, really doesn't know anything about these, and only knows that these things can be used as a summoning medium, mainly as a Summon Guardian Beast.

Among the several lines of summoners, war beast summoners are undoubtedly the most common, but the type of guardian war beast is related to the medium used for summoning. The teeth and scales on the stronger monster are used as the guardian summoned by the medium. The more powerful the war beast is, but the probability of this becomes smaller as the difficulty increases. The blood is not so easy to obtain.

There are many kinds of monsters, not less than a thousand. There is a special study of monsters in the academy, but Han Che, who has only attended a class, has not had time to get in touch with it, so it is like buying and selling antiques, it is easy to be slaughtered. What's more, he doesn't really need it.

Walking all the way, watching all the way, although each stall is not big, it has gained a lot of knowledge for Han Che, just like that piece of scale that is the size of a shield, and how big its owner must be, just think about it. People shudder.

"This adventurer, if I'm not mistaken, you are the summoner who is planning to go to Beastmaster Ridge!" Just after turning a corner, a withered hand grabbed Han Che's arm, and a gloomy voice sounded , making the hairs on Han Che's back stand up, and his heart almost jumped out.

Turning his head to look, he saw a hunchbacked old man full of age spots, squinting his cloudy old eyes, with a trace of mystery on his face, and said in a low voice: "Hey, I have a secret medicine here that can make you hide Survive the entanglement of hungry wolves and black crows, and walk through the Beast King Ridge safely! This is the result of more than ten years of painstaking efforts by the old man, and the weight is limited. I think you are pleasing to the eye, and I can't bear you to die in the Beast King Ridge, so I will sell you a little!"

Han Che looked at the old man, and immediately smiled. Han Che was born in sales, and he was good at coaxing people to buy things, and the old man's pretentiously mysterious words sounded very lame to Han Che, but Han Che didn't expose the old man, but said oh, "Really, do you really have a secret medicine that can hide from hungry wolves and carrion crows?"

The old man smiled mysteriously, and said: "Hey, I'll show you what you know, kid!"

Han Che let out a cry, and followed the old man through the tunnel in front of him. In a dark corner, he turned a corner and entered a low passage. After walking for more than a minute, he finally reached the end. The light of the old man immediately illuminated the old man's home. This is a space of tens of square meters, but it is filled with various cabinets, books, glass bottles, and all kinds of strange blood and juices of different colors. , but before stepping into the room, a foul stench came from the nostrils, almost making Han Che faint directly.

Although there was a faint rotten smell and the stench of livestock manure in the Dry Tomb House, it was bearable at least, but the house was completely full of biochemical poisonous gas, but the old man suddenly disappeared and walked straight into the house.

"Is it smelly? That's right. This is the secret medicine I told you that I have painstakingly researched. I haven't named it yet, but I can guarantee that this secret medicine will be absolutely effective!" The old man picked up a stirrer Stirred it twice in a large pot in the middle of the room, picked up the stirring stick, and suddenly the black, viscous, paste-like liquid was pulled up, and it was in front of Han Che, saying: "I didn't lie to you Oh, if you don't buy it, you will definitely regret it!"

Han Che pinched his nose. Even so, he couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Old man, the taste of your secret medicine is really strong. I guess if you eat this stuff, if you don't get poisoned to death, you will be disgusted to death." , I'll take my leave first!" After saying that, Han Che walked out, it was terrible, the stench was simply invincible.

"Boy, don't go!" The old man grabbed Han Che's arm and said, "Listen to what I have to say, this old man will never harm you. It is made from blood and a lot of herbs, and the smell is indeed a bit strong, but it is because of this that you can be protected from hungry wolves and carrion crows in Beastmaster Ridge!"

"Oh!"

"You don't think this black jade paste exudes a rotten smell, and hungry wolves are most sensitive to smells. The rotten smell of your body is definitely not interested in eating you, and may even avoid you!"

"Uh, what about the carrion crows, they only eat carrion!"

"Hey, that's true, the carrion crow has no taboos, but it has no weaknesses, do you know about Death Epiphyllum!" the old man said with a mysterious smile.

"Dead epiphyllum? I haven't heard of it!" I have only traveled for two months, and it is only ghostly if I know it.

"Dead epiphyllum, a pale rotting flower that grows on rotting corpses and feeds on blood. This kind of flower rarely grows to bloom, but when it blooms, it is indescribably beautiful. Coquettish, pale stems and leaves, flower buds, become bright blood red, as the flower buds bloom, spit out thousands of bloodshots, floating in the air, unparalleled in beauty and fragrance, it can be said that there is no flower that compares to dead epiphyllum The moment when it blooms!"

"It's a pity that the dead epiphyllum has been accumulated for ten years, but the flowers only bloom for a few minutes, and then they will rot and emit a stench. However, the old man unexpectedly discovered that the stench of the dead epiphyllum can be avoided even by carrion crows. Avoid, that is to say, the carrion crow hates the smell of dead epiphyllum, so the old man picked these dead epiphyllum and boiled it into the secret recipe of this pot!"

"Don't worry, the old man won't lie to you, at least it won't be more insurance than if you just stepped into Beast King Ridge like this! How about it, come on! This thing doesn't happen all the time, it's a dead epiphyllum that blooms every ten years , extremely rare, and it is likely that there will be only so many in the next few years!"

"Old man, you'd better pray that this thing is really useful, otherwise I will chase you to the ends of the earth!" Han Che stopped at the entrance of Beastmaster Ridge Valley, took out the wooden box from his bosom, and used a The airtight black jade paste wrapped with seven or eight layers of cloth, even if it is like this, can't stop the smell from escaping.

Almost gnashing his teeth, he smeared the black jade ointment with a piece of wood, and spread it on his body. Even though he was separated by two layers of clothes, Han Che believed that the stench would definitely kill him. He won't use this thing to death.

"Ah!" The old man who sold Han Che's secret recipe in the underground black market sneezed loudly, wiped his nose with his sleeve, continued to stir the black paste in the cauldron, and said to himself: " That kid should have already entered Beastmaster Ridge, I hope this kid can come back alive, otherwise all these years of hard work will be in vain again!"

Han Che is now facing the wind and smelling ten miles away, and there is no place to hide because he is the source of the smell, but it seems that the smell has some effect, and the nearby carrion crows in the wilderness are quacking and flapping their wings. It seems to be effective to flee far away!

Han Che's heart suddenly settled down. Now, Beast King Ridge should be like no one's land to him. The three evils of Beast King Ridge are all floating clouds!
