Chapter 9: Soul Beads

Seeing Tian Xiaoyu walk out, Xiong Gui's face looked a little cloudy under the light of the firelight, but after a while, the knock on the door rang again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Come in"

Xiong Gui said from the beginning.

As soon as the words fell. A somewhat swarthy and thin figure opened the door and walked in, this person was wearing a cyan robe, a high hat, and a bald feather fan in his hand, and from time to time he fanned it up and down decently, looking a little nondescript.

This person is Zhu Sheng, the thinker in the earliest Xiong Gui three-person gang.

Zhu Sheng stepped forward and arched his hand at Xiong Gui and said, "Big brother, what's the matter with calling the younger brother here?" ”

Xiong Gui looked at him, and there was a rare look of helplessness on his face.

"Lao Zhu! I know you like Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms, but you are only surnamed Zhu, and there are still a few words behind Zhuge . ”

Hearing Xiong Gui say this, Zhu Sheng's face was a little unhappy, but in the end, Xiong Gui was still the boss, and he could only force his unhappiness down.

"Big brother, let's get down to business, I'm not dressed in any fancy clothes."

Xiong Gui saw that Zhu Sheng's face was a little dark, and he knew that this was his interest, and he didn't want to talk too much, after all, he was an old brother who had been with him for many years.

"Alright then, let's get down to business."

Xiong Gui coughed, got up, poured two glasses of wine and said:

"Now that the development of our forces has entered a stable stage, it is equivalent to reaching a bottleneck, and I am looking for you this time to discuss our next actions."

"Yes!"

Zhu Sheng touched the stubble on his chin that had just been left for a few days, thought about it and said:

"Big brother, there are only more than 20 people in our force now, and everyone's strength is not very strong, even if they go hunting every day, they are just hunting some wild boars and wolves and the like, basically once you encounter some monsters, there is no way but to escape."

Hearing Zhu Sheng's words, Xiong Gui nodded.

"You're right, our strength is too poor now."

Zhu Sheng saw Xiong Gui nodding, and then continued:

"So, the first thing we need to do now is to improve our own strength, we need to get more gold coins as soon as possible to buy equipment, and we also need to ask the captain of the guard team to give us some warrior secret skills, so that we don't have to kill any wild boars and wolves, and we can hunt more valuable monsters!"

After listening to Zhu Sheng, Xiong Gui stood up and walked two steps in the room, and then said:

"Lao Zhu, don't go hunting tomorrow, gather the brothers, I have something to say, and take out all the money saved in our town, I have to go to the captain of the guard to find out!"

Zhu Sheng also smiled when he saw Xiong Gui's confident appearance and said:

"Don't worry, big brother!"

But after saying that, Zhu Sheng's expression became a little solemn again.

"Big brother, I'm not very worried about our brothers, the brainwashing has paid off for a while, even if they are asked to kill monsters, there will be no objections, but where is the captain of the guard, I am a little worried, warrior cheats are generally extremely precious, will he take them out so easily?"

Xiong Gui looked at Zhu Sheng's worried look and smiled and said:

"Hehe, Lao Zhu, you think too much, I'm not going to ask for any precious secret skills, even if this kind of thing exists, do you think we can buy it with this little money? The one I want is just the most basic swordsmanship! ”

"Basic swordsmanship?"

Zhu Sheng was stunned!

"Big brother, don't we know that thing, just those few sword moves, although it is said that it is a secret that is not transmitted, but I can go up and practice twice."

Xiong Gui saw the confused look on Zhu Sheng's face, smiled mysteriously and said:

"Of course the secret that is not passed on is true, aren't we not being passed on!"

When Zhu Sheng heard his boss say this, he rolled his eyes and said:

"Hehe, is there any mystery in this?"

But Xiong Gui didn't say any more, just said:

"Okay, if it succeeds, you'll know tomorrow, now go back and prepare!"

Zhu Sheng didn't say anything when he saw Xiong Gui, and he didn't mean to be dissatisfied, so he got up and retreated directly.

After seeing Zhu Sheng close the door and walk out, after a while, Xiong Gui carefully took out a palm-sized cloth bag from his arms, the cloth bag was purple, and the seal was tied with a rope.

Unwrapping the rope on the cloth bag, Xiong Gui took the cloth bag upside down and sank it in his hand, and a crystal clear thumb-sized bead suddenly fell into his hand.

Xiong Gui carefully put the beads on his nose and smelled them, and a burst of fragrance suddenly penetrated into his brain, and his body seemed to be bathed in the sun.

After a long time, Xiong Gui came to his senses, carefully put the beads back into the cloth bag again, and then put them into his arms.

The bead was actually obtained when he killed the orc, and was later told by a passing trader that Xiong Gui knew what it was and what it was used for.

And since then, this thing has been kept by him, no one can look at it, only at this time of the day, he takes it out for a short time.

But it's no wonder that Xiong Gui treats this bead as a treasure, this thing is really a treasure, it only exists in the body of a monster, and only in the body of a dead monster, but not everyone has it, and there is a chance.

This bead is called a soul bead, which is usually formed by the essence of the monster's whole body, and if humans wear it around for a long time, it can strengthen the body and calm the soul, but if it is obtained by someone with a secret method, it will absorb the essence of the bead, which can be used to improve their own strength.

So this thing is also very precious, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to buy it with money, no wonder Xiong Gui is such a treasure, and he does feel that his physical strength is increasing in all aspects these days, although the amplitude is not very large, but it is also considerable.

After putting away the beads, Xiong Gui went downstairs, and he also went to see the brother who was injured today, and to visit the family of the deceased brother, which was also his habit all along.

Coming downstairs, you can already see through the door that it is almost dark outside, but in this inn is still full of life, drinking and punching, breaking wrists, gambling pai gow, everything is available, and the noise is not endless.

Seeing Xiong Gui coming down from the upstairs, everyone who was playing at this time also put down the wine glasses in their hands and shouted neatly: "Boss! ”

"Okay, hehe, brothers, eat and drink as much as you want, today is mine."

Xiong Gui smiled and waved his hand.

"Okay!"

"Thank you, Boss"

"Haha"

Hearing Xiong Gui's words, more than twenty strong men cheered in unison, and began to drink in a big bowl again, making a loud noise.

Xiong Gui didn't care about them, just came to Tian Xiaoyu and said:

"Take me to the wounded brother first."

Tian Xiaoyu also knew the habits of his boss, so he didn't say much, and directly began to lead the way.
