It's not entirely correct to say that it's a beast.

When it came out, it was the size of a room, with four thick legs and retractable webs between the toes, resembling a one-horned rhinoceros, but it looked much more flexible. Its skin is blue-gray and slightly glowing, and if you look closely, you will find that it is not the slightest softness of flesh, but is full of the hardness of gold and stone.

His eyes were calm and obedient, and he honestly poked in place and did not move.

"Alchemy puppet?"

"Half-puppets, to be exact. ”

The representative was quite proud, and explained: "It retains the brain and intelligence of the original creature, and has a powerful body that has been modified. It can carry fifteen tons of cargo, can provide riding, can easily pass through no matter how difficult the terrain, and can also do short dives. Despite its bulky size, it's actually very light and doesn't make too much noise. Can I show me that?"

"Of course!"

With that, a few people went outside. The representative slapped the puppet on the abdomen, and suddenly a large gap opened, and inside was a space similar to a storage warehouse, but the rhinoceros did not feel the slightest pain.

He casually put some stones, about ten tons, and jumped on the back of the ox, and spat out a command: "Forward!"

Rumble!

The rhinoceros moved on all fours and thumped forward, loud at first, and gradually softer after walking for a while. Xiao Jin looked up and saw them walking down the steps, deliberately picking some jungles, thorns, and undulating terrain to walk.

Sure enough, it was effortless, and the speed was not amazing, but it was definitely not slow. Eventually, the rhinoceros jumped into the lake, dived for a few minutes and climbed ashore again, dry and not damp.

"What's its power source?" Sumire became more and more intrigued.

"It's this magic stone. ”

The representative took out a fist-sized black stone from the rhinoceros and said, "Just one piece, it can be used for half a month, you don't have to feed and drink, and you are not afraid of fatigue." After mastering the domestication method, you need to be accompanied by someone for long distances, and you can reach it for short distances. However, it should be noted that it should not be used too often, otherwise it will consume the puppet's life and be easily damaged. ”

Xiao Jin took the magic stone and reached into a divine sense to check it.

It is called a spirit stone in the east and a magic stone in the west, and the nature is similar, but this piece has obviously been refined and improved on the basis of the original, and can only be applied to puppet beasts.

She knew it in her heart and said with a smile: "Things are really good, let's talk slowly." ”

Several people returned to the hall and sat down again, she did not speak, the representative did not speak, and the atmosphere was strange for a while. Xiao Jin held a cup of tea, took a sip, and her brain was flying.

The rhinoceros is an application-type puppet and is very suitable for promotion among the people. Although the modern transportation industry is developed, there are still many dead ends, especially the environmental changes and integration, and the complex terrain is almost all over the country.

The other side emphasized one point: the brain of the puppet is well preserved, has a certain intelligence, and can be domesticated. After being proficient, accompanied by long-distance transportation dignitaries, he can know the road in a short distance, carry 15 tons up the mountain and into the water, as if walking on the ground.

This is terrible! It can greatly liberate the labor force and enhance production efficiency.

There are a lot of projects under construction in Phoenix Mountain, and this thing is really needed, but Xiao Jin has always hesitated. This is like the early Xia industry, which was poor and white, and introduced foreign products.

Things belong to others, the core technology belongs to others, and after-sales maintenance is still people's, so we can't do anything, so we can only buy it and use it.

And the most important magic stone, this is the key. Once a golem is bought, it is necessary to buy magic stones in large quantities, thus forming a trade habit.

At worst, this is called economic dependence, and it is easy for people to control the lifeline.

For a while, she remembered what Lao Gu had said: Xia Guo's cultivation emphasizes self, consciousness, and comprehension, while Western cultivation emphasizes disciplines, logical experiments, and modern thinking, and it is easy to develop products.

This is not like modern science, where scientific theories are universal, and anyone who learns them can study them. But the cultivation is different, they have alchemy research and development puppets, the application of basic transportation, what do we have?

Please!

The sages of the past generations must know that if you use the transportation technique to run the transportation, you can come back to life one by one!

Xiao Jin didn't have a clear decision, so she brought it for the time being, and let the other two show it.

Their things are similar, they are all application-oriented, and they are of the same nature, and they all have a python-like trade chain behind them, wanting to swallow you in one bite.

In the end, Xiao Jin didn't sign a big order, and only bought a set of puppets and magic stones for half a year. Naturally, the transaction will not use currency, and the other party has taken some special herbs and alienated beasts.

The three merchant groups left Baicheng and continued southward, with the next stop being Qianzhou.

……………………

Sam's Country, Little Rock.

Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas, was formerly inhabited by Native Americans, and was rich in rivers and forests. After the cataclysm, like most Forest City, it was hit by a beast tide, and order has only recently been restored.

At the airport, a car drove directly to the tarmac, waited for a while, and ushered in a man and a woman. The female is a Westerner, but the male is an Oriental.

They got into the car and drove towards the suburbs - Gu Yu and Andrea, of course.

"We inherited the Gardnerwika system, which is dominated by witchcraft. We don't have an organizational core, we're very fragmented, and we exist as wizarding cliques. ”

Along the way, the woman was still educating each other, saying, "A syndicate is usually made up of 13 people, and the leader is a high-ranking wizard, a high-ranking witch, and a virgin. Oh, and this virgin is often not really a virgin, but it has to be a woman.

The remaining members are made up of small groups, one male and one female. If there are too many members in a group, a group can create a new group with more members. The new group is at least eight kilometers away from the old group. ”

"Strange rules, you are so scattered, do you really have a sense of belonging to your own sect?" Gu Yu was puzzled.

"No way, tradition is like that. We don't believe in emotions, only in equivalent exchange. This habit ensures internal peace, but when encountering a strong external enemy, it is difficult to effectively organize resistance. ”

Andrea sighed and said, "We have seventy-two wizarding groups in the Americas, and there are sixty-five in the country, and they have been broken by the enemy, and only half of them are left. I belong to the Brotherhood of Roses, the newest target of the enemy, and have been attacked several times and had to move to Little Rock. ”

"Brotherhood of Roses?"

Gu Yu touched his nose, which sounded GAy angry, and asked, "How many of your members are there?"

"There are 19 people and there are 10 people left, but the group's high-level combat power is all there. ”

Andrea was slightly gloomy, then paused, and couldn't help but say: "Sir, you really don't need to make some disguises when you go abroad with me?" We didn't report to the Transcendent Association, your appearance is too obvious......

"Not necessarily. ”

Gu Yu spit out two words and said no more.

“……”

The woman opened her mouth, well, you say you don't have to, you don't have to.

It is said that the car drove along the road towards a small town, only to feel that it was sparsely populated and depressed, and there were ruins on both sides that had not been cleaned up, exuding the smell of gunpowder smoke not long ago.

The car drove away, and when it reached a fork in the road, a strong roar was suddenly heard, and a huge heavy truck rushed out from the right side.

The red carriage was marked with a black symbol: first a circle, with a small circle in it, and in the small circle was an inverted pentagram, on which a hideous goat's head appeared.

“OH！”

The driver saw the truck crashing, slammed on the brakes, the tires rubbed against the ground, and after a shrill sound, the two cars stuck at the intersection.

"Satanism!"

Andrea looked at the sign and exclaimed. Immediately after, I saw several figures leap out of the truck and surround the car.

"Hehe, I've finally found you!"

A fat white old man said with a sideways smile: "Andrea, I heard that you went looking for help, I want to see, which guy took the initiative to send him to death?"

"Tindo Baras!"

The woman was shocked and angry, and got out of the driveway: "Aren't you in Sicily?"

"You say that little guy who grabbed my attention was already swallowed by me, and her flesh was very tender. ”

"You're looking for death!"

The person in their mouth was Andrea's best friend, and the woman was even angrier when she heard this, and flipped her hands to show off the pair of blood-red thorns.

Bang!

In an instant, a red mist poured out of the ground and shrouded all around. Two red snakes emerged from the fog like two red lightning bolts biting each other.

"Little guy, you can't do this bit of strength......"

Barras leaned on his staff and poked hard into the ground, and the black gas churned, as if it was blown by a strong wind, whistling and rolling the red snake in, and then blowing through the red mist, and blowing away in an instant.

"I wanted to recruit you, but now I can only blame you for your stubbornness. ”

Barras didn't want to fight, so he raised his staff a little, and the head of the Ouroboros-shaped staff glowed with black light, quickly forming a round ball, fluctuating with terrifying dark energy.

"Dead ...... Poof!"

As soon as the old man spat out a word, he heard a pop, and the ball of light was like a deflated ball, and the match that was blown off was actually extinguished.

"Who?

His face was tangled, becoming more and more hideous, and he turned his head to stare at the back seat of the car, "Look for death!"

He swung his staff and tapped it again, but his hand was empty, and even his staff was gone.

"Who the hell are you?"

Barras panicked this time, the staff was his personal treasure, and the other party could take it away casually.

“……”

The person in the car did not respond, and it took a moment for a sentence to come out, but it was a question for the woman: "Killed?"

"We're not going to die for a long time, it's useless to catch us alive, I'm sorry for you!" Andrea said fiercely.

"Oh......"

Rumble!

As the words fell gently, a radius of dozens of zhang was instantly shrouded in a coercion, the ground cracked, the gravel burst out, and the air currents visible to the naked eye swept away layer by layer, as if they were in the center of a tornado.

"Poof!"

Ballas spurted blood, only to feel an invisible giant palm pressing down from the sky, from the kneecaps to the calves, to the ankles and soles, every inch of the muscles and bones were shattered.

The others were even worse, and they directly rotted into a ball of flesh, bleeding from the seven orifices, and died instantly.

"You, you ......"

Barras has a good strength, and he still has a breath, he is afraid, shocked and unwilling, and he is also a good player, but he is actually dead at this moment.

At this moment, I saw that the window of the car was rolled down, revealing the face of an oriental.

"You ......"

Barras's pupils contracted suddenly, and great fear and regret filled his body, and he plopped and lost his life.
