"Looks like there's no need to turn" Buzz clenched his fists, and both fists made a clicking sound. The full-text and ad-free novel is all in Aishang Novel Network biquge.info his neck turned his head, and the golden helmet reflected a faint luster, which looked like a huge golden egg from a distance.
"Bass, take it easy, we're going to live, don't kill me" Bishop Ron's hammer seemed to be bigger, but the silver chains remained the same.
When the sound of galloping horses' hooves approached, Chen Kai sat in the carriage and saw the identities of those arriving guys. One of the guys at the head had a huge scar that ran through half of his face, and he had a large red knife in his hand.
"I hope this bastard knows where he got those Demon Star Silver, or which caravan he snatched it from" Buzz slowly pulled out the huge weapon hidden in the tiny scabbard, and then saw a golden fighting qi slash that was three meters long and instantly struck out, and several thieves who just wanted to shoot arrows turned into scattered corpses before they could react.
"Bath, you idiot, you want a living mouth, not a dead body," Bishop Jon's mouth said, but when his hammer was projected, the thieves he encountered were directly shattered.
At this time, the thieves on the horses were completely stunned, they never thought that there would be two holy steps among the targets of their robbery. Even if there was only one, it wasn't provoked by a small group of thieves like them with less than a hundred people, especially their boss Poison Scorpion, the leading Scarface, who had now begun to urge the war horse to flee.
Unfortunately, he only ran less than a hundred meters before Buzz caught up, and then he was kicked off the horse directly, rolled and fell into the grass next to him, and fainted. When the hapless leader of the thieves was woken up by a basin of cold water, the battle around him was over, and a dozen of his men were lying very strongly.
Naturally, these subordinates have survived, and those who have not survived have been dug and buried by Lula and Chen Kai, and have become nourishment for the grassland.
"Scarface Lao Tzu doesn't talk nonsense, tell me where you got these magic star silver, or which caravan you snatched it from" Buzz stepped on the small dd of the poisonous scorpion Max, who at that moment felt that the brother below him was about to turn into minced meat.
"Ah~~ I... I don't know what's going on, Demon Star Silver, please, please be light" Max the Scorpion felt that today was the most unlucky day he had ever had in the years of his crisscrossing the wasteland, but apparently Buzz was not satisfied with his answer, so he lifted him up and threw him to the side of a dozen stones with blue cracks.
"Sue me, where did you get these stones, or what business association robbed them, or I'll let you enjoy the pain of your soul being separated from your body before you die," Buzz wasn't lying, and on the side, Jon was pulling the soul of a thief straight out of his body.
For the first time, Chen Kai discovered that the temple actually had this kind of terrifying magic, in his opinion, this kind of magic was only possible with black magic or black witchcraft, and it was too terrifying to extract a person's soul alive from his body.
But Chen Kai found that the image of the soul did not seem to match the thief who fell to the ground, especially when he saw that the thief's neck was broken by Bishop Rong'en. The thief's death does not look like he has been pulled out of his soul, but rather as if he has been crushed by his neck.
However, what Chen Kai found did not mean that the stunned poisonous scorpion found out, he saw that his subordinates were actually pulled out of their souls, and he did not doubt at all whether the shadow wailing in the air was his own subordinates, and told everything he knew and didn't know.
Bas threw him to the ground after hearing his words, and then looked at the trembling thieves. As soon as he lifted the strip of cloth from a thief's mouth, the guy cried directly.
"Please, don't drain my soul, I said I said everything, Boss Max was wrong, these stones were not picked up by Larousse at the edge of our stockade, he found them from the chests of the Miller Business Association." The thief lay on the ground babbling, and Laroux was the archer who had been killed by Bass.
"Nonsense, how come I don't know?" Max was in a hurry, he was afraid that Buzz would think he was lying and pull his soul out and torture him.
"No, I don't have a boss, you didn't know that you weren't there the last time you robbed the Miller Business Association, but the things that the business association grabbed were all stones, and Larousse was afraid of being punished for saying that we had embezzled something, so he let us collude to say that he hadn't robbed the business association. Then he threw the stones on the edge of the stockade, and the second master did pick them up from the ground before he came out, but he didn't know that we had dropped them there, and he thought that the robbery had only gotten some sackcloth, and kept calling the Miller Business Association a poor ghost!" The thief, Duraru, cried and told him everything he knew, but Buzz still didn't believe he had picked up another thief and threw it at Jon's feet.
As a result, before Bishop Jon's hand touched his head, the other man said everything, and said the same thing as the thief. He even said that there was a pile of spots in the middle of the stones that looked like red blood clots, and when he finished speaking, he noticed that Bishop Ron had taken his hand and let go.
"Has Kaichen finished cleaning?" Bas threw the thief into the carriage, and the thieves did not dare to escape, and they all shrank close to the corner of the carriage and huddled there.
Chen Kai smeared a knife on the neck of a thief who had not yet been completely hung up, and after harvesting a piece of experience, he threw him into the pit, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, just pour the soil."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw one of the mages in the Lula mercenary group put his finger on the ground, and a large area of dirt rolled and closed, and the large pit was soon completely buried by fresh earth.
"It seems that it is already fine" Chen Kai only then realized that the mage was actually an aboriginal earth element mage, and he was also an intermediate mage.
"Okay, let's get in the carriage, let's go to the lair of these bastards to take a look, Captain Lula, trouble you, this mission temple will notify the mercenary guild, you can rest assured that your commission will not be reduced, and remember to keep your mouth in order." Buzz stepped into the carriage, and behind him was Ron holding the stones.
"Does Xiao Fei know what Demon Star Silver is?" Chen Kai asked Xu Fei, who climbed out of the carriage to breathe, and said.
"I don't know if this thing is not mentioned in the material encyclopedia at all" Xu Fei shook his head, although he had seen materials with the words Star Silver, but he had never seen the words Demon Star Silver.
Chen Kai saw that he couldn't ask anything from Xu Fei, so he turned his head to look at Lula, who was now sitting next to Chen Kai and setting up the carriage.
"Don't look at me, Knight Berkner, if I knew, I wouldn't have let my men throw them away as stones, but I guess they wouldn't be a good thing, or the two adults would have had excitement on their faces instead of the look of something terrible.
"Kaichen, don't ask, these materials are not something that a mercenary like him can know, maybe he will only get a little contact with it after completing this mission and being promoted to the intermediate mercenary group." Buzz's voice came from inside the carriage, interrupting Captain Lula's words.
After the words of Bath fell, the whole convoy fell silent again, and they slowly walked along a path carved out of grass and thorns. A wooden stockade appeared in front of the convoy, and outside the gate of the stockade, some stones with red or blue glow were scattered in the field.
"Lula's Commander Kaichen will collect all the stones he can find," Buzz slowly stepped out of the carriage, and then disappeared directly in place. Then a dozen images of Bass appeared in the air one after another, and when the last image appeared in front of the gate of the wooden village, he already had a huge weapon in his hand.
Chen Kai's ears only heard a loud click, and the thieves guarding the stockade found that the huge wooden door had turned directly into sawdust scattered in the sky.
While Buzz and Rong En were cleaning up the entire thieves' lair, Chen Kai and the others moved all the stones they could find around the stockade. Most of these stones were ordinary gray-white limestone or gravel, only a small part were special stones with blue or red crevice spots, and the most special ones were a few black-red strip stones, from which Chen Kai felt an aura that made him extremely disgusted.
The disgust was worse than the sight of a dead creature, and his first thought when he saw these two stones was to break them up, and his second thought was to burn them directly to ashes with a holy fire.
"Okay, you go in and clean up, take everything you can take with you, and make up for the ones who are not dead," Buzz and Ryan walked out of the thieves' lair with blood all over their bodies and a dozen women who looked tormented.
Chen Kai just glanced at it and followed Lula to the lair to mend the knives for those thieves, although there were basically no high-end goods left in the thieves' camp to watch the family, but it was also a bunch of experience. It's a pity that there is very little experience gained from helping NPCs mend knives, and Chen Kai and they killed more than thirty half-dead thieves, only increasing their experience slot by less than 4%.
"Captain Lula, please come over for a moment" When Chen Kai and the others were cleaning up the entire village, Bass's voice sounded from outside, and Chen Kai felt that there was a trace of anger and fear in his voice. Even during the Battle of North, Chen Kai had never heard the voice in Bass's mouth.
After Chen Kai beckoned the others to continue searching the cottage, he followed Lula, who was carrying a box and ran out, to the outside of the village. The dozen or so rescued women were lying on the side of the carriage and watching Bass and Jon in fear, for they found that it was terrible when their savior was angry.
"Sue me about the Miller Business Association, I haven't heard of this business association in Adorik" Rong En crushed a black and red stone that gave Chen Kai an extremely disgusting aura, Chen Kai could see that after the stone was broken, it produced a gray-black aura, which was grabbed by Bishop Rong En and burned with holy fire.
"Actually, I don't know much about the Miller Business Association," said Lula, the leader of the Raging Lion Mercenary Regiment, with a frown, "I just heard that they are a big business association in a certain city in the south, and they have only recently come to Miffys to open up a trade route. However, they never entered Adorik, and at most made a circle north along the wasteland to Bakua. So I don't know anything about their business associations."
After listening to Rong En and Lula's words, Chen Kai felt that his task would definitely not be so easy to complete. At least judging from the fact that Buzz and Jon are fighting over some stones, something must have gone wrong with Miffhis, and the Mark family, who are following the group, have begun to regret their decision to go to Miffus.
"Sell the manor when you get to Miffys, and hurry back to Adorik" With this in mind, the storekeeper Mark stuffed two low-level spell scrolls into his pocket, which no unemployed person like him could only use. And he took out a long sword and hung it on his belt, stuffed a dagger into his shoes, and finally stuffed a crossbow under the seat of the carriage.
… Half an hour later...
"A group of poor ghosts are thieves to do your job, and it is estimated that the entire Miffus will not be able to find one, and they have robbed more than 1,000 gold coins in three years, and a lot of scrap copper and iron. I'm you've already been killed by that piece of soft frost, and you're still poisoning scorpions," Buzz squatted to the side, scolding loudly at the huddled members of the thieves.
Because Chen Kai and the others searched all the places in the stockade, they found more than a thousand gold coins, but there were many weapons, but unfortunately all of them were damaged. The most stored are spices, cloths and various foods, and there are hundreds of catties of sausages alone.
"A group of pigs only know how to grab food, you can't grab more magic crystals or gems," Buzz bit on a roast pork leg, still scolding in his mouth.
At this time, Chen Kai squatted on the side of a large pile of smudge-covered cloths, almost all of which had oil stains or blood stains on them. Therefore, the linen cloth, which was originally worth a little money, can now basically only be used as a rag. There may be some copper coins in it that can be sold for a little bit, but the key thing is that these are stolen goods, and Chen Kai doesn't want to be arrested by Miffys's guards.
As for the stones that were picked out, they were all in Bishop Rong'en's spatial ring now, and even the two pieces that Chen Kai had hidden were asked by him to pass. Or it was directly thrown by Chen Kai, the value of those two stones is indeed not low, but Chen Kai does not dare to take them out and sell them.
Because the only function of some stones is to build the Demon Gate, of course, not to build the main body, but to generate the positioning elements needed to connect the passage to the Demon Plane. This kind of ore that only exists in the various demon planes does not store zài in other places except the demon plane.
After Chen Kai learned this information, he felt that Miffys might be unlucky, because it was said that the Miller Business Association had been shipping goods to Miffys recently. Although the hapless scorpion Max only robbed Miller once, they saw a lot of Miller Business Association freight wagons when they were picking fat sheep.
It's a pity that no matter how much Chen Kai has a headache and is afraid of what might happen to Miffhis, he still has to go to Miffys. Both Buzz and Ryan had to find out about the Miller Business Association, and if the Business Association was just transporting the stones to summon the mages to demons, then it would be fine.
At most, he was fined by the temple, and then explained the source of his goods under the guarantee of the high-level of the Spell Association. But if this business association builds the Devil's Gate in Miffys, neither Jon nor Buzz wants to think about it, because it means that Miffys will have a disaster.
"Let's hope these greedy merchants are just smuggling materials to the spellcasters who enslave the demons," Bishop Jon prayed quietly, he was not even in the mood to eat now.
After packing up a qiē, Chen Kai and his party set out on the journey to Memphis again, and at this time they were still nearly a hundred kilometers away from Mephis. There was no town to supply along the way, but luckily the hapless scorpion thieves had contributed a lot of food.
A long convoy of cars slowly moved along a road filled with mud and tree branches, and the path reinforced by earth elemental mages was almost entirely made of stone. The largest source of research funds for those low-level earth elemental mages each year is to help the city master build roads, and this construction method saves labor and money to create a huge network of commercial roads in the Etia world.
At the front of the convoy, Chen Kai was dozing off on the roof of the carriage. Although they had left the Miluo Wasteland, there was still an uninhabited forest area around them. Occasionally, a group of adventurers would walk past them from a distance, sometimes they would come up to say hello and order something to eat, and more often they would take a few words from a distance and leave.
The night in the wild at Miffus was no different from the rest, full of glowing green beast eyes, and all sorts of strange roars. The carriage was very prominent in this environment, especially when the horses' hooves stepped on the soft rocky pavement, and the crisp sound of the surrounding beasts was silenced. Of course, once the sound of the horses' hooves is connected, those beasts will not dare to come.
At the same time, as they got closer and closer to Miffhis, the road gradually became wider, and Chen Kai and his family could still see the flatbed truck parked on the side of the road when they were sleepy. The most primitive means of transport, from which the name Lying Corps derives, is said to be so cheap that it only costs ten silver coins to get to Miffys' flatbed convoy.
The flatbed trucks are stacked on top of each other like corpses, but of course they are not corpses, but they are just sleeping in the game using the helmet's residency function. This cheap and inexpensive way of traveling is the ancestor of the lying corpses, but safety is very problematic. After all, there is no obstacle around the flatbed, and it will only get drenched in case of rain.
While Chen Kai and the others were shaking their bodies and driving the carriage towards Miffys, the venomous scorpion's lair, which had been burned to ruins, welcomed several new guests. It's just that the guests don't seem very friendly, or they aren't human at all, at least they don't have green torch-like eyes, dark scales, and sharp claws.
"I like the smell of fire," a visitor picked up a piece of charcoal with sparks in it and stuffed it into his mouth, the red charcoal was crushed in its mouth, and the splashes of coals drifted away with the red sparks.
"Someone came before us, and this place has been completely cleaned up." The other visitor looked at his surroundings in disgust, preferring the bitter cold more than his companion's blue glow.
"Old bones, let's see if I can find the scattered souls, I want to know where those materials are," said one of the visitors at the back of the room to the staff crutch beside him, and then saw the staff crutch stretch out a pair of white bony arms from his cloak, and the burning ground around him extinguished at a visible speed and turned into a pitch-black filth with black smoke.
Threads of white souls wept and wailed as they flew from all corners of the ruins to the top of the staff, slowly changing into their former appearance. It's just that most of the body is mutilated, and even looks a little sluggish.
"Silk~~ Click" The one with the staff made some noises, but it seemed that his companion didn't know what it was talking about. So it had to use its bony arm to grab the souls floating in the air, and use some black energy to slowly knead them, and those souls were pinched together and turned into several vague figures.
If Chen Kai stood here, he would be able to see clearly, the clearest figure was not Buzz, but him in armor. Then there was Lula, who ran out with the box, and finally Chen Kai and several members of Lula's team, including Zhao Tiezhu.
"It seems that only by finding these guys can we know the whereabouts of those things," the visitor standing at the end gently grabbed the soul fragment that formed Chen Kai's image in his hand, then stuffed it into his mouth and slowly bit it down. The formless and insubstantial soul turned into something like chocolate at this moment, and a large piece was directly bitten off, and the badge on the chest of the soul fragment that turned into Chen Kai's appearance under the faint light of fire was extremely clear.
