Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

The nameless three people, Neferi Holelu, said in unison, and then looked at each other in confusion.

Neferi looked at Holeilu and Wuming: Do you know each other?

Wuming said: What a coincidence, it seems everyone knows each other.

It was Wuming who answered the previous question first:

I'm here to do business.

Neferi said: My adoptive father originally sent me to perform a mission in Lienia, but he said that I was too immature in Stonewell City, so he asked me to come to Galid.

Both of them turned their attention to Holero.

Helailu smiled: I just wanted to come and have a look.

What a suspicious motive. Wuming looked at Holeilu suspiciously.

Holylu looked at the scarlet Ionian swamp:

I have traveled to every inch of land in the border area, but I have never been to Galid. I heard that Galid is as beautiful as heaven, and I really want to come and see it.

Is it beautiful? Neferi was a little skeptical, The wind here has a fishy smell.

So it was once. Helailu smiled, It's a pity that I have no choice but to regret it.

Holylu looked at the scarlet sky with some melancholy and regret.

But soon he burst out laughing:

But it's not bad now, it's a different scenery, and the monsters here are all to my taste.

Wuming looked at the giant dogs and crows beside the bonfire, and at Holleru's big body. He had to admit that this place was indeed suitable for Holleru.

Wuming said: So you didn't come together, how did you meet?

Holelu spread her hands: It's probably a coincidence.

Neferi said: There are only a few roads in Galid, and you can always encounter them. And I didn't encounter any giant monsters along the way. I was going very fast, and I met this old man.

It seems that Old Lu helped Xiao Lu clear the way. Wuming understood clearly.

Neferi looked at Holero:

Is your surname also Lu? Judging from your attire, you must be from the wilderness, right? We are fellow villagers.

Hearing what Nefeli said, Wuming suddenly noticed that although Holelu was still topless this time, she had two more arm guards on her arms.

It's just that he was naked except for his leggings and armbands, which made him look even more exposed.

You guys all played chess together, but you don't know the opponent's name. Wuming said.

Neferi said cautiously: After the last lesson, I will not reveal my name easily.

She puffed out her chest and said, I have grown up and become smarter.

Wuming looked at the chess game and nodded.

Hallelu doesn’t care about her name or identity:

The name doesn't matter, it's not something you can change if you want. You can call me Lao Lu, and I can call you Xiao Lu.

He stood up, took down the branches that were roasting on the bonfire, knocked the crow and the hound off the branches, and invited the two of them to eat. The three of them sat around the chessboard table and ate.

Wuming chewed the dog's head: Lao Lu, your skills are not good.

As long as it's edible. Holelu bit into the tough skin of the crow.

Holeilu said to Wu Ming: You said you came here to do business, what else can be done here? There are no living people.

There is a mine here, and I want to mine it. Wuming said, It is precisely because there is no one here that it is my turn.

That's a big business. Holeilu said in a playful tone, It's about competing for resources with the Shard King.

Do you want to report me? Wuming asked.

It's normal for a faded person to want to become a king and always find ways to become stronger. Holylu said, But when you said go to the mines, didn't you mean the mines over Selia?

Yes. Wuming said.

Then you went in the wrong direction. Holeilu pointed to the unknown direction, That's the right way, and you're lost again?

I have found the mine, and I even got an unexpected harvest. Wuming said.

He jumped up and took the giant beast:

Look at my cow. Is it cow or not?

The giant beast had already obeyed Wu Yan's plan.

To be precise, he lost his ability to react. The eyeball in the middle of its head is no longer as clear and deep as before, and is now cloudy, as if it has lost its consciousness.

No matter which direction Wuming leads it, it will go without struggling.

Falling Star Beast? Holylu was surprised, You can actually tame this kind of thing, okay.

Falling Star Beast? Wuming was also surprised, Is my cow called this?

It's just a name given to us by the people from the border area. Holeilu said, They are alien species that came with meteorites. They came from falling stars, so they are called falling star beasts.

Meteorite... Wuming thought about the location of taming the Falling Star Beast.

In the center of that mine, there is indeed an out-of-place stone, orange in color, like a spherical stone buried in the ground, with only a top left.

So it's a meteorite. Wuming realized later.

Then even more proud.

Not only is he handsome and strong, he is also an alien.

It's very honorable to ride out here.

Wuming said: I came out to find the source of the earthquake. I just encountered an earthquake in the mine and woke it up. I influenced it with sincerity and came out to show off - ah, no, I was looking for the source of the earthquake.

Wuming asked the two of them:

You guys have been outside. Have you encountered an earthquake?

Lao Lu and Xiao Lu looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

Hailelu shook her head at Wuming, and just as she was about to speak, a roar suddenly came from not far away.

The three of them looked in the direction of the sound source.

The aroma of barbecue attracted another behemoth.

A giant dog three to four meters tall ran towards the three of them ferociously.

Halfway through, the giant dog opened its mouth, almost 180 degrees, with its tongue tilted and saliva dripping. The intertwined canine teeth reflected the cold light, and the flesh and blood between the teeth spurted out a fishy stench.

The giant dog's momentum is extremely fierce, and it is no less than the nameless golden chariot.

Neferi picked up two axes and stood up.

She was about to swing the ax when a figure burst out.

Holylu had already rushed out, faster and more ferocious than the giant dog.

Hallelu slapped the giant dog on the forehead.

A man and a dog were in mid-air, still for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, the giant dog's body moved forward uncontrollably, but its head still stayed in place. Its four claws stretched forward according to the inertia, and the sharp claws hooked towards Holelu's chest.

Before the sharp claws could touch Helelu, its entire body was pinned to the ground by Helelu.

Holylu grabbed the giant dog's head and slammed it to the ground.

With the giant dog's head as the center, the ground was sunken and cracked in large areas. The shock wave spread and broke several trees, and the ground shook.

No. Holelu stood up and continued to answer the unknown question calmly.

That's it! Wuming stared, pointing at the almost crushed dog's head.

Holelu looked at the dog's head:

You mean it caused the earthquake?

Hallelu opened the dog's mouth, which had fallen apart, and played with it:

Maybe, this dog may have the blood of a giant and can cause earthquakes by roaring.

Nameless support, no more explanation:

Forget it, just know the source of the vibration.

Just as he was talking, two more giant birds rushed over. They were attracted by the noise Holelu made.

Uncle, you are too reckless. This will keep monsters coming. Nefeli said seriously. She thought she was mature and taught Holero a lesson for her recklessness.

Hailelu smiled and raised her hand: Okay, then I won't take action. It's up to you.

She faced the two giant birds and raised her axes.

When the giant bird saw Neferi, it immediately spread its wings and floated in the air, preparing to tear Neferi into pieces with its sharp claws.

The wind and thunder roared, and the two giant birds were immediately swept away by the storm.

Their grown wings increased the force-bearing area, and they were immediately twisted together by the storm, colliding with each other, and enjoying the baptism of wind and thunder.

As expected, Holylu didn't take action. Looking at Nefeli's wind and thunder, there was some nostalgia and tenderness in her eyes:

Storm and lightning...

Wuming noticed Holeilu's expression and leaned over:

Isn't this girl nice?

Pretty good. Hallelu nodded, She has a wild style - where did you know her from?

We met once in the Round Table Hall, and we only became familiar with it in Stonewell City. Wuming said.

She is indeed qualified to enter the Round Table. Holleru admired the figure in the storm, Is she a descendant of Storm City?

No, Stone City is now Greg's territory. I rescued her in Stone City. Wuming said.

Speaking of Greg, Wuming leaned back, leaned on the table and sighed:

If it weren't for him, I wouldn't come here to mine.

Oh? Holeilu looked curious.

Wuming then complained to him, telling him everything about Greg's plan to send troops to kill his store, and his encounter with the Suzu Hunter, forcing him to find ways to improve his defense capabilities.

I can't stand it anymore. I wish I could punch Greg to death. Wuming waved his fist impatiently.

You're not weak, just beat him away. Holeilu said.

I just want to do business honestly. Wuming rolled his eyes.

How can you live alone in troubled times? Holeilu said, Even if you have no intention of fighting for supremacy, trouble will find you.

No, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that. Wuming said, My business depends on Greg. After he dies, no one will buy my services.

Holeilu fell silent, and he touched his beard:

That's a question, but I don't understand it.

Don't talk about that unfortunate thing. Wuming said, Let's talk about Nefeli.

He leaned into Holleru's ear mysteriously:

Do you want me to be a matchmaker? Let me help you two get together? This is a good girl.

Holylu coughed violently.

What's wrong? Wuming leaned back, Is it infected with scarlet and corrupted?

What you are saying is much more irritating than Scarlet Corruption. Holylu stroked his beard, How old am I, and you are talking to me about this.

If you have ambitions, it's not because you are young. Wuming encouraged Helailu to focus on expanding his business.

No need, I have a wife. Holero said.

Wuming looked at him suspiciously:

Really or not? You look so sloppy and look like a bachelor.

Not only do I have a wife, but I also have children. Holeilu said.

He looked at Neferi: They are all boys, not a daughter.

No wonder, I thought you were attracted to Neferi because of the ambiguous look in your eyes. Wuming regretted losing his business.

How do you see the ambiguity in my kind eyes? Even a full beard couldn't hide the disgust on Holla's face.

How do I know? I don't have a wife. Wuming said confidently, I don't have any elders either.

Why do you still play matchmaker for others? Holeilu said.

You can charge an agency fee. Wuming said, Isn't this profession a very profitable job as long as you are matched and you can start charging handling fees and don't have to worry about anything else?

Holelu didn't know what to say.

A businessman like you will be buried in a pit. He said.

Wuming was noncommittal: Anyway, if you want to be someone's father, it's too late. I already have a foster father.

Adoptive father? Holeilu asked, Is she an orphan... Yes, people in the wilderness should be orphans.

The two of them were talking, and Neferi had finished the battle and came back.

Not far away, two crows were plucked, their bodies covered with burns, and they were twitching on the ground.

How's it going? Neferi proudly showed off her achievements.

Not bad. Holelu nodded with a smile, But you haven't finished solving it yet.

Eh? Neferi turned her head.

Although she quietly handled the two big birds without making much noise, the thunder and lightning cooked the giant birds, and another burst of fragrance wafted out, attracting another wave of giant dogs and birds.

Ah, I was careless. Neferi covered her head.

Holylu laughed.

Wuming observed the two of them thoughtfully:

So this is called kindness...

Don't be stunned, you are just lazy. Neferi pulled Wu Ming, Uncle is making too much noise, so you still have to come.

Wuming didn't shirk, he raised his sword and shield and stepped forward.

Hallelu sat at the back with an expression like that of an old man at the entrance of the village watching his children play.

But it's not just Holylu who's at the back, there's also Starfall Beast.

The deep eyes in the center of Falling Star Beast began to focus.

The originally distracted eyes began to regain their energy after Wuming moved away.

It first looked around, carefully searching for an unknown location.

When he found Wuming fighting with a group of crows and giant dogs in the distance, his single eye immediately became active.

He rolled his eyes a few times and looked at the Ionian swamp not far away.

Falling Star Beast is actually quite quiet and rarely howls. Even if it does occasionally howl, it has a sense of elegance and profoundness.

Although it is called a beast, just as the orcs in the borderlands are more intelligent than humans, the fallen star beast does not have the intelligence of an animal at all like its appearance.

Although the thinking is difficult to understand, the thinking of weighing the pros and cons has something in common.

It locked onto the Ionian swamps and determined its own escape route.

While it's not completely immune to Crimson Corruption, it has many ways to circumvent it, allowing it to cross the swamp before being poisoned.

Human beings do not have these means, so they can only stay away.

It quietly turned its head towards Holleru.

The only problem now is the human next to him.

As long as this trouble is solved, it can regain its freedom.

The Falling Star Beast didn't think too much and didn't have time to think too much. It had to escape before Wuming defeated the big bird in front of it.

Besides, there was no need to think too much. Before it fell from the starry sky, it already knew how strong the people on this land were.

Wuming is an outlier, but he was unlucky enough to catch up.

It came to this land, and apart from the weed-like humanoid creatures, it only encountered three enemies.

The first person's ability was just enough to restrain it, and he also used gravity to smash its meteorites and push them away.

The second one is Wuming, a guy who doesn't look like a living thing and doesn't feel any pain even if he is stabbed through.

The third one is the old man in front of me.

Falling Star Beast believes that based on probability, it will not be so unlucky again.

Without hesitation, it directly raised its front legs and unleashed the gravity-twisting move.

You can not only kill the enemies in front of you, but also reduce your own weight to make it run faster and move faster.

Falling Star Beast raised its front hooves and saw the vast sky. Thinking of the place it came to, ripples appeared in its heart.

What translates into human thinking may be the emotion called homesickness.

When it grows again and becomes stronger, perhaps it can completely deflect gravity and return to the array of stars.

Suddenly, the sky was obscured, interrupting its thoughts.

Falling Star Beast's one eye saw the sky darken, and a sandbag-like fist appeared above its head.

The fist landed on its forehead, and the falling star beast's gravity-deflecting move was directly interrupted.

The gravel and sand that were originally launched into the air fell down one after another, raining on the body of the Falling Star Beast.

The Falling Star Beast's head has been buried in the ground, its whole body is tilted up, and its four hooves are struggling subconsciously.

Falling Star Beast was confused and didn't know what happened.

When it struggled to pull its head out of the soil, it received another heavy punch.

Trying to activate gravity anomaly, another punch

…

When Wuming came back dragging the corpses of the mutated strange birds and giant dogs, he saw the Falling Star Beast's head stuck in the soil, its body upside down and motionless.

What's wrong? Wuming asked.

Oh, it doesn't seem to have been completely tamed yet. I trained it a little bit. Holylu said, pulling the fallen star beast out of the ground.

Falling Star Beast's eyes were completely cloudy and it couldn't even move.

Sit down, Holylu said.

Purple gravity light emerged from the Falling Star Beast, and strong gravity acted on it. In less than half a second, it sat on the ground, motionless.

As expected, you've been trained well. Wuming was surprised, You can also train animals, that's okay, Lao Lu.

It's just a little effort.

Hallelu smiled like an old man.
