Chapter 5: Death by Starvation
He explained to me as he smeared it. "Snow crystals are hard, but they are at odds with the sulfur that comes out of the ground, and when they come into contact with the sulfur, they become fragile. ”
He smeared all the sulfur on the snow crystals.
"You bring a small amount. I estimate that it only takes a short stick of incense for the sulfur to erode away, so you should take advantage of the opportunity. ”
"yes, I see. "When he finished, I threw a punch at it with all my might, and my fist hit it.
The unmoving snow crystal trembled, and a crack appeared.
Sure enough, it really worked.
However, the sulfur on the walls also melts at a rate visible to the naked eye.
I hurriedly began to saw it with Luban wood.
Luban's wood kept moving, and this time it was really much easier, like sawing on the wood.
The effort of a stick of incense passed quickly. I looked at the numerous snow crystal fragments on the ground, as well as a few larger ones.
Finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, I didn't work in vain and got so many snow crystals.
And when I looked at the place where I had been struck just now, there was no trace of sulfur anymore.
The rift began to slowly repair and heal.
I picked up the snow crystal pieces from the ground and put them in my bag, and chose a smaller one to hold in my hand.
I'll give it to Riel later.
Then he swept the debris on the ground with the palm of his hand and put it in his bag. Ants are also meat in small sizes and cannot be wasted.
After all this, I left satisfied.
Wang Wushuang and I went to the stone house where Riel lived again.
I knocked on the door.
"Mr. Riel, I brought you the snow crystal you wanted. ”
I've just finished speaking.
There was a thud, and the door opened.
Riel stood by the door and watched me, and when he swept the snow crystal in my hand, he immediately pounced on me, thinking he was going to attack me.
Wang Wushuang also thought so.
Seeing this, he slapped it out. And the palm of the hand that Riel pounced on was firmly docked.
Rare was knocked back several steps by Wang Wushuang.
Only then did it realize that it had lost its temper, so it quickly took out its notebook and wrote a sentence and handed it to me, and then hurried into the house.
I took a look.
It reads.
"I'm sorry, I'm out of shape, I'll go get you the snow lotus right away. ”
A moment later he came out of the room, holding a box in his hand and handing it to me.
I took the box and opened it to see that there was indeed a lotus-like object the length of a thumb inside, and it was estimated that it had been a little wrinkled for a long time.
However, I can feel the full spiritual power inside, and this spiritual power has only been seen on my jade pendant.
It seems that it is snow lotus, and it is right.
I look up.
Riel was staring at the snow crystal in my hand.
Only then did I react and handed over the snow crystal in my hand.
It hurriedly took it and looked at it carefully, then ran back to the room and closed the door, and began to bang again.
I'm a little speechless.
This Riel is a bit nervous.
Isn't the evil brain's not very good?
simply ignored it and went straight to the elders.
When the elder heard that I had received the snow lotus from Riel, he laughed heartily and kept congratulating me.
I guess it's also a celebration for itself, a win-win situation anyway.
Now I'm waiting for it to take me to their sacred pool.
"Elder, since I have obtained the snow lotus, then according to what we said before, you can take me to the holy pool. I said.
It nodded: "Don't worry, since I have promised you, I will naturally take you to the snow pool." ”
"But I have something to tell you, and I'm ashamed to say that our people are now in the season of supplementation. In the past, there were some creatures in the cave that were imprisoned with us, and we lived by hunting them, but with the hunting in recent years, most of these races have been hunted down by the Snow Clan. ”
"Some small ones have also been domesticated and kept in captivity, and they can't be eaten for the time being, so for the survival of the Snow Clan, can you pay for some supplies first. ”
I immediately understood what it meant, apparently trying to make me pay for the supplies.
Good fellow, this elder is quite good at business.
But it doesn't matter, since they have lent me all the holy pools, then I do want to express my intentions.
I said with a smile. "Elder, what you said is that I almost forgot about this, I don't have to pay for something first, that would be too troublesome, I will go down the mountain today to prepare supplies, what do you think. ”
The old snowman nodded when he heard me.
"I thank you for saving your life. As he spoke, he bent down and bowed to me.
"The elder is polite, I don't know what the supplies you want and how many they are, so I can prepare them for you, and it is also good to let me use the holy pool as soon as possible. ”
He lifted his rickety body, took out a list of animal skins from his body, and handed it to me.
Looking at the list in his hand, I swallowed. A bad feeling arose.
Sure enough, I took the list and looked at it carefully.
It's too much.
The meat alone weighs three tons, and according to the pork on the market now, it costs at least 100,000 yuan!
Then there are cotton, snake skins, grains and other miscellaneous things that add up to a lot of prices.
These things add up to about 300,000 to get together.
I don't have much money to spend now, and the total amount of money I have in my body is less than 50,000 yuan.
This is clearly a fight against local tyrants.
And let's not talk about the price, just the quantity!
How do I ship it?
The elder asked cautiously as he looked at my expression. "What's wrong, what's wrong?"
I smiled wryly. "Elder, you Snow Clan have such a big appetite, and it costs me a lot of money. ”
"That's not the main thing yet. The main thing is that there are too many things to transport. After all, this altitude is quite high, and I can't transport it at all. ”
The elder laughed. "Don't worry, I have a solution. ”
As he spoke, he yelled outside.
After the roar, a skinny man came in from outside and left, this guy was skinny and looked like someone who hadn't eaten in an unknown amount of time.
The main thing is that this guy is not a snowman!
It's a humanoid demon.
"It turned out to be a starving ghost. When Wang Wushuang saw it, he understood what Elder Snowman meant.
"With him, you can bring that food back. Elder Snowman pointed to the starving ghost.
"Why?" I wondered. "It's just one more evil spirit, not even the evil spirit, how can it help? It's not a matter of one or two people. ”
Wang Wushuang explained. "Don't underestimate this guy, although the starving ghost is just an ordinary evil ghost and has no combat power, he has a very powerful ability, and even Taoists will keep them in captivity. ”
"That's because the hungry ghost has a lot in his stomach, and he can store space the size of a house!"
