Chapter 246 Dragon Scale Stone

Now the materials for treating Bai Lan's mother's illness have basically been gathered, and only the last one remains, and it is also the most difficult.

The dragon scale stone has nothing to do with dragons, but it looks more like dragon scales, but it can only be obtained from the deep sea.

There are no submarines in this world, and there are no diving suits, so you can only use martial arts powerhouses to hold your breath and resist the pressure of the deep sea with your body, and collect dragon scale stones from thousands of meters or even below.

Of course, there are also lucky ones, sometimes the deep-sea fish accidentally eat the dragon scale stone, swim to the surface of the sea, and happen to be caught by the fishermen, thus making a lot of money.

The three dragon scale stones on Luolie Island are derived from this, which is the only clue about the dragon scale stones that everyone knows, as for the other dragon scale stones, because its value is too great and the quantity is scarce, they are all well treasured, even if there is, they dare not say it.

The power of Wangcheng is huge, and there are no hostile forces, so the matter of the dragon scale stone will be announced to the public, but it is only circulated at the top level.

The reason why Lian knows is probably also due to her identity as an alchemist.

Bai Lan fell into confusion again.

She no longer has any extra wealth, and the dragon scale stone must be treasured by the royal city of Luo Lidao Island, and it will not be easily given to her, and for a while, she doesn't know what to do or what to do.

Are you going to steal?

Bai Lan didn't think that his strength could be unscrupulous in the royal city, and he could still take the dragon scale stone in the tightly guarded treasure house, even if it was only one.

What to do?

Lian was also helpless, she said: "These materials have been able to make Bai Lan's mother recover a little, but without the dragon scale stone, after all, it is much worse, and after using it once, her body will become resistant to medicine next time, and even if she gets the dragon scale stone after that, the effect may not be too ideal." ”

It was very frustrating that everyone had gone to great lengths to get the Blood Eagle Egg, and the result was still half cured.

"Isn't there any other way? I mean, we can go to the deep sea to find the dragon scale stone ourselves, we have a boat anyway, and we can go wherever we want. ”

Xu Qian made a suggestion.

Lian shook her head, "The Dragon Scale Stone is in a very deep sea, do you know how much pressure there is on the bottom of the sea? Not to mention us, even the Sword Master is difficult to dive into the deep sea and move freely in it, and I am lucky to find the Dragon Scale Stone." ”

This answer made Xu Qian and Bai Lan lose the last bit of hope.

However, Xu Qian did not give up, and comforted Bai Lan: "We can also go to the Adventurer's Guild to issue a task, even the task of slaying the dragon has been completed, it is just a dragon scale stone, don't look at us as just adventurers, Chu Jing's wealth is very amazing." ”

Xu Qian looked at Chu Jing expectantly, hoping that he could be generous and help Bai Lan.

Even though she and Bai Lan had only just met and didn't know much about it except for their names, when one person really wanted to help another, nothing mattered.

Chu Jing didn't think this was a good proposal, after all, dragon slaying was the ultimate ideal of every adventurer, even if they didn't have a task, when they were confident enough, they would go to the world to find dragons to slaughter.

There are many people who know the value of the dragon scale stone, and even the royal city of Luo Li Island is only three, and other rich people will definitely buy it at a high price.

Even if an adventurer does get the Dragon Scale Stone, he will consider those dignitaries first, who can not only pay a lot of money, but also pave the way for their career or other aspects.

Chu Jing pondered for a moment and said, "Of course it's okay to release a task, but I think I may have a way to get the Dragon Scale Stone, but it will take some time." ”

"Do you have a way?"

Hearing Chu Jing say that there was a way, Bai Lan's eyes were shining, and he looked at Chu Jing pleadingly, hoping that he would not just say such things to comfort himself.

Lian and Xu Qian also looked at Chu Jing with the same curiosity, they also searched all over the Blood Bone Ship, there were not many things that belonged to overseas on it, and Chu Jing carried even fewer things, if he didn't hide his secrets, then where would he get the dragon scale stone.

Chu Jing asked Lian again: "In the deep sea of the Dragon Scale Stone, are there many places, such as near Qianlong Island?"

Lian nodded, "The deep sea is a realm that humans have not yet set foot in, and there are still many unknown things, even if it is a sword god, he has never described everything encountered in the deep sea in detail, however, even the deep sea fish has dragon scale stones in their stomachs, and the dragon scale stones are not too rare in the deep sea." ”

"That's good. Chu Jing was full of confidence.

Lian asked curiously, "Is there a way for you to dive into the deep sea?" That's too dangerous, you don't know how much pressure the bottom of the sea will be, even if you can hold your breath, it's impossible to move on the bottom of the sea." ”

Chu Jing naturally didn't want to go to the deep sea by himself, he had other methods, such as a few cards of the water tribe drawn by the lottery.

Chu Jing can also use three permanent summons this month, and he can summon three creatures that live in the sea to help him find the Dragon Scale Stone.

The only problem is the exact location of the dragon scale stone, and it is not known whether there is a dragon scale stone in the sea near Qianlong Island.

Chu Jing said confidently to the three of them: "Leave this matter to me first, I won't go to the sea myself, give me a week, if it doesn't work, think of other ways." ”

"By the way, give me a picture of the dragon scale stone, I don't know what the dragon scale stone looks like. ”

Lian was speechless for a while, but he still drew the dragon scale stone with pen and ink, it looked like a scale, a carp, a snake, a lizard, anyway, the scales were the same in Chu Jing's opinion, the key was that he had never seen a dragon.

"The dragon scale stone emits a multicolored light, and if you really encounter it, you can easily distinguish it. ”

"I see, it's much easier to recognize it that way. ”

After speaking, Chu Jing took the drawings and left the small building.

Lian, Xu Qian, and Bai Lan glanced at each other and hurriedly chased out, but at this time, Chu Jing could no longer be seen.

The three of them naturally didn't think that Chu Jing was worried that the dragon scale stone would cost him a lot of wealth, after all, the dragon scale stone was hard to find, and the things on Chu Jing's blood bones could be exchanged for a lot of wealth overseas.

"Where is he going? He's coming to Qianlong Island for the first time, and I don't think he's from the islands. Xu Qian said.

"He's from the mainland, it's said that someone has discovered a route to the mainland, and many merchants have already been there, and there are also merchants from the mainland who have come to our islands by boat, and he is probably one of them. Lian analyzed.

"Mainlander?No wonder he looks so white. ”

Xu Qian suddenly realized that even if Chu Jing basked in the sun for many days, he was still not as good as these islanders who grew up under the sun, and the sun was still so warm in winter, so you can imagine how vicious the sun here was in summer.

Bai Lan listened very confused beside her, what mainlanders, she has been taking care of her sick mother, and there will be someone to purchase red dragon fruit, so she is not interested in the news of the outside world, and she doesn't know much.

Originally, there was no news on Luolie Island, but adventurers still heard about the discovery of the mainland.

At this time, Chu Jing did not go far, he walked directly through the orchard and came to the sea.

Although this orchard was mortgaged by Bai Lan, it has not yet reached the deadline, and no one has accepted it, and for now, it still belongs to Bai Lan.

Standing on the edge of the sea, steep cliffs, the waves crashing below, the sea breeze howling.

Chu Jing thought for a while, but still flew down, standing on the small wooden boat he was on when he came.

He has to summon some creatures that live in the sea, and it is always bad to summon them on the shore, especially on the cliffs.

"Come out, my faithful servant, the legendary fisherman!"

The first thing Chu Jing wanted to summon was the legendary fisherman.

He is portrayed as a fisherman on the back of a shark, naked and holding a harpoon, looking like an experienced fisherman.

If he was just an ordinary human, then it would be useless to summon him out, because he couldn't dive into the deep sea, but he was not a simple human, he and his sharks were always hidden in the sea when they hunted, like crocodiles waiting for an opportunity.

So, diving, for the legendary fisherman, is not a skill, but an instinct.

"Well, yes, at least it looks like it's very communicative. ”

Chu Jing summoned a second figure.

"Come out, my loyal servant, the Dark Sea Dragon!"

This is a humanoid race that has a human form but definitely does not belong to humans, dressed in purple armor, known as a warrior who guards the dark sea, and is super strong in the water, even on the shore.

The demon beasts in the sea are huge in size and extremely strong, and the dragon soldiers of the Dark Sea not only help find the dragon scale stone, but also have the duty of escort.

After that, Chu Jing summoned the full tide of fishmen again.

"Come out, my faithful servant, the fish-man!"

The full tide fish-man is the ugliest summoned creature summoned by Chu Jing, with an ugly head, a thin body, and a big red fin on his back, more like a loach than a fish-man.

However, the Fishmen are true half-fishmen warriors, who can be described as a fish in the water and have strong attack power, only a drop in the bucket of the Dark Sea Dragons.

This was also one of the reasons why Chu Jing had to summon him.

"Okay, with the three of you here, I think the task of searching for the dragon scale stone has been completed, remember, there is such a stone in the deep sea that looks like scales and emits five-colored light, help me find it, remember, after you find it, come back and report to me immediately, huh...... The legendary fisherman came to see me, and the other two went straight to the Bloody Bones, leaving the bottom of the ship on standby. ”

After Chu Jing explained, he sent the three water tribes out, and as for where they would go, Chu Jing didn't know, because he didn't know the exact location of the dragon scale stone.

After that, Chu Jing returned to the small building.

Lian, Xu Qian, and Bai Lan were all very surprised.

"You...... You've found it?!"

Xu Qian had a small mouth and looked at Chu Jing blankly.

Chu Jing smiled bitterly: "Of course not, I just ...... I've hired a reliable man, and he'll help me find the Dragonscale Stone, so don't worry. ”

"But you don't know anyone on Qianlong Island at all, and it's only been ten minutes......

Chu Jing's statement was immediately overturned by Xu Qian, but Chu Jing didn't explain much, some things were originally secrets.

Secrets are a normal thing in this world, just like Lian's real name.

Lian and Bai Lan didn't ask much in the interest.

Lian began to work on other materials, and after Bai Lan thanked Chu Jing for a while, she accompanied her mother's bedside.

Chu Jing was idle instead, and the three water tribes didn't know how long it would take to find the dragon scale stone, and they always stayed in the same place, which made him feel a little boring and bored.

Qianlong Island is much smaller than Luo Lidao, but it is also much larger than Jile Island, after all, it is a dragon hiding place, and it is not old enough to be discovered early.

Chu Jing decided to take a turn around Qianlong Island first, maybe he would be able to find something.

According to Bai Lan's guidance, Chu Jing knew the location of the nearest town.

Xu Qian also wanted to go, but because her injuries had not healed, she had to stay and rest.

Because it is located by the sea, this town is located next to the port, and it is considered a very large trading town.

In fact, there is not much difference between this place and the village of Lorile Island, there is no city wall surrounding, scattered with all kinds of houses, and the high point is only three floors, and there is no phenomenon of standing out from the crowd.

Chu Jing went to a jewelry store first, and he also bought gold here, and Chu Jing didn't know that the purchase price there was higher, anyway, he still had a lot of gold, but it didn't need to be rare.

The silver tickets are useless, unless you find the owner of the ship who has trade with the mainland, or the merchant himself from the mainland, these silver tickets are smashed in your hand.

Chu Jing took the coins he had exchanged from the jewelry store, which were indeed made of shells, but it was much more complicated than Chu Jing had imagined.

These shells are a kind of shellfish shells that are as white as jade, and the pattern is very beautiful, and each one has carved words, which is more like a mark.

In fact, the shells themselves are rare, and their mere collectible value is comparable to the face value of currency.

It is precisely because of its high value that it serves as a medium of exchange, a value, storage, price criterion and deferred payment criterion.

Chu Jing carried a money bag full of shell currency, ready to go to see if there were any local specialties worth buying.

I traveled thousands of miles to go overseas, and my women and friends still stayed on the mainland to deal with those messes for myself, and if I didn't bring something back when I returned, I was afraid that it would make others unhappy.

In fact, sooner or later, businessmen will bring these specialties to the mainland to sell, and the significance of Chu Jing bringing them back is not particularly significant.

According to the characteristics of mustard seed bags that can be kept fresh, Chujing is more about buying local delicacies.

For example, ripe red dragon fruit can be transported from Qianlong Island to other islands, but if you want to take it all the way to the Lishen Continent, even if it does not rot, it will lose its original taste because of preservation.

Chu Jing also bought a map of Qianlong Island in the port, the tourism industry is not very developed, but the prototype is already there, especially this island used to be inhabited by dragons, many adventurers who aspire to become dragon slayers come to visit, want to understand the habits of dragons, find a simple way to kill dragons, at least you can understand how to find other dragons hiding on the islands.

Chu Jing also went to watch it.

The so-called hiding place of the dragon is in a valley surrounded by several mountains, which is difficult to detect from the outside.

According to the tour guide hired by two small shells, one day, the people living around heard a loud roar, and then a fiery red dragon flew high and hovered in the sky for half an hour before slowly flying away.

At that time, there were also adventurers in the vicinity who saw this scene, but although dragons were very rare and coincided with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, no adventurer dared to come forward.

After all, this is a flying dragon, and its strength can be called terrifying, but it is not for ordinary adventurers to dare to offend its majesty.

If it were somewhere else, Chu Jing might be regarded as a legend, or as a gimmick for a local tourist attraction.

But on Qianlong Island, Chu Jing knew that what the tour guide said might be true, because the simple people of this world would not play these tricks.

Climb over a mountain road, a man-made paved road, to the Valley of the Dragon, hidden deep in the mountains.

The valley where dragons live is indeed different from the outside world.

The biggest difference is the emptiness of the valley, where it used to be inhabited by a dragon, perhaps a giant beast of more than ten meters, and it is difficult to even turn it over in a narrow place.

I have to say that this dragon is lucky to be able to find even such a perfect hiding place.

There are also a lot of red dragon fruits growing in the valley.

One of the birthplaces of red dragon fruit is here, and most of the red dragon fruit outside is transplanted.

It is said that red dragon fruit is stained with dragon blood, which is so red and delicious.

Chu Jing didn't think that the red dragon fruit was delicious, maybe the taste of the dragon was different from that of people.

Chu Jing didn't find anything else here, countless people had come to this place, and even if they found any secrets, they would have taken them away a long time ago, or simply hid them, and the ones that were made public were often the most useless.

It took a few days to come to Dragon Nest, and the agreed time was almost up.

Chu Jing hurriedly returned to the small building in the orchard, and when no one else noticed, he flew directly into the air, and the speed was also extremely fast.

When Chu Jing returned to the small building, he suddenly found that there was an extra person in the living room.

The half-naked fisherman, who else is not the legendary fisherman.

Xu Qian hurriedly came up and said: "This person has been here for two days, saying that he came to see the master, and he didn't say anything when he asked him, so he just sat here and waited." ”

Only then did Chu Jing remember, and forgot to tell him to hand over the dragon scale stone to Lotus first.

At this time, the legendary fisherman took out a small bag.

"Master, the order you gave has been completed. ”

"Well done. Chu Jing took the bag and opened it to see that there were more than a dozen stones the size of grass eggs, in the shape of fish scales, flashing with this five-colored light.

Xu Qian leaned over to take a look, but was blocked by Chu Jing.

With so many dragon scale stones, it's not good to spread it, and Chu Jing understands the truth of his guilt.

"Wait for me, and I'll come when I go. ”

Chu Jing and Xu Qian said hello, and hurriedly pulled the legendary fisherman out, he still had something to ask him.
