Chapter 421: Sword and Shield
It has been a few days since the full dissipation of the corpse tide.
The temperature is still growing steadily, without the slightest repetition. Above the sky of Houtu City, a round of warm sun hung high, sprinkling immeasurable light and heat, and the warm spring breeze blew people to be intoxicated.
Since the corpse tide did not directly affect the surroundings of Houtu City, the evolutionaries here did not need to clean up the mess, and directly stepped into the normal track, restoring the peace of the past.
It's just that it's a little different from the past, the evolutionaries in Houtu City, after dinner, are mostly talking about the corpse tide that has just passed this time, and the hero Luo Hou who killed the heaven-level zombies in the corpse tide and saved dozens of cities.
This time the corpse tide, although dozens of survivor cities were affected, and more than a million people were killed, there were also some geniuses who shone in this corpse tide.
Of course, in the face of Luo Hou, who killed the Heavenly Rank Zombies and directly caused the corpse tide to dissipate this time, the light of the other geniuses was really too weak and became insignificant.
Therefore, although most of the people are secretly grateful to Luo Hou in their hearts and sing praises for him, there are also some who want to eat his flesh and drink his blood, and almost want to get rid of him quickly.
Among them, Li Yuanliang's hatred for Luo Hou is the strongest.
Ever since he learned the news that Luo Hou had killed the Heavenly Rank Zombies, he had been living in fear all day long, a strong man in the early stage of the Ninth Order, and the helmsman of the first-class forces in Houtu City, but he had lost the spirit of the past.
In front of Luo Hou, who had the strength to kill the Heavenly Rank Zombies, an early Ninth Order Evolver was not enough to see at all.
Li Yuanliang knew that if Luo Hou really knew that the two attacks were related to him, then sooner or later he would come to the door, and then he would really call the heavens and the earth to be ineffective. There is no other way but to die.
Li Yuanliang is also a resolute person, in order to be able to avoid the past before the danger comes, he resolutely gave up the qiฤ he had in Houtu City, and quietly left Houtu City, not knowing where to go.
Since staying in Houtu City is a death sooner or later, then with his strength in the early stage of the ninth order. Wherever you go, you can break out of the world again.
When the news of Li Yuanliang's mysterious disappearance spread all over Houtu City, Luo Hou knew that he must have known that the original matter had been revealed, and he did not have the slightest confidence in surviving in the face of himself, so he simply left for the other side.
While feeling a little regretful in his heart, Luo Hou couldn't help but admire Li Yuanliang for being able to make up his mind to give up this hard-won one, which is not so easy for ordinary people to do.
Of course, as Luo Hou's strength grew step by step. In the future, people like Li Yuanliang will be tantamount to jumping off the beam clown, and there is no regret that he didn't kill him before.
Unless he can really remain incognito for a lifetime in the future, a strong man with ninth-order strength, Luo Hou will always be able to get news of him, and then kill him with a thunderous force.
A few days have passed since the corpse tide, and the steel-armored tyrannosaurus in Luo Hou's spirit pet space has already recovered from its injuries, and has become fierce again, eating hundreds of catties of fresh meat every day.
During this time. Luo Hou and the leopard entered the realm of the middle of the eighth order together, and the consumption of Yuan Jing almost doubled. Nearly three eighth-order amethysts are needed every day, which is really like burning money.
The Yuan Crystals in the storage space were rapidly depleted, but there were only 15 ninth-order black crystals used to improve the level of the Spirit Ring, which was more than half the number of 100.
As the tide of corpses dissipated, Luo Hou urgently felt that his strength still needed to improve rapidly before he could deal with some big crises that might come in the future.
After much consideration. Luo Hou decided that this time he would go out for a period of time, specifically looking for ninth-order demon beasts, hunting ninth-order black crystals, and striving to make up the number of 100 as soon as possible.
In order to raise the level of the Spirit Ring to another level as soon as possible. Luo Hou decided to only look for ninth-order demon beasts this time, and if the eighth-order and below happened to meet them, they would be solved easily, and they would not specifically hunt and kill.
In this way, the eighth-order amethyst used by Luo Hou and the leopard's cultivation was a little stretched, and it was not too sufficient.
In the past few days, sorting out the things in the storage space, Luo Hou found that he had hoarded a large number of demon beast scales and furs, and piled up a lot of them in the storage space.
The scale armor and fur of these demon beasts are mostly from the sixth to eighth order, and they are considered to be high-end grades at this stage, and they can be sold at a good price, but after waiting for a while, when most of the evolutionaries have upgraded their ranks, the value will be discounted.
Therefore, Luo Hou decided to simply vacate the storage space before this trip, sell all the inventory inside, and return a large amount of Yuan Jing, which can be used for his daily cultivation and leopard feeding.
Why not do something that kills two birds with one stone?
So, Luo Hou bought a medium-sized truck compartment in the car dealership of Houtu City, stuffed nearly a thousand pieces of demon beast scale armor and fur in the storage space, and then drove to the central business district of Houtu City.
In the central business district of Thick Earth City, the top commercial houses in all walks of life in Thick Earth City have set up shop here.
Luo Hou drove the card compartment here in order to find an armor forging shop pรน and sell the demon beast scale armor and fur in his carriage.
Nearly a thousand scales and furs of sixth-order demon beasts and above, the value can be imagined, and it is really not necessary to eat them in an average-sized shop, not to mention that there are more than ten scales of ninth-order demon beasts in the goods prepared by Luo Hou this time.
Sword and Shield, this is the name of a weapons and equipment company, very ordinary, almost like a bad street.
However, no one in Houtu City dares to underestimate this company, because it is a first-class weapons and equipment company in Houtu City, with strong strength, and the weapons and armor sold are extremely sophisticated, whether it is cheap mass goods or top weapons and equipment, the quality is the best choice, and almost everyone who has used it praises it.
It is precisely because of this that the demand for raw materials of the Sword and Shield Company has reached a terrifying level on weekdays, and even set up an acquisition point in the central business district of Houtu City to purchase raw materials.
It stands to reason that the general raw material acquisition points are set up in the outer satellite cities or the outer cities of Houtu City, because that is the first stop for the evolutionaries returning from hunting, and many bulky goods will be sold in the nearest places.
However, Sword and Shield, a special acquisition point, is unusual, and it is located in the central business district, where every inch of land is valuable, accounting for several stores.
Being able to set up a raw material acquisition point in the central business district of Houtu City, the operators of Sword and Shield obviously will not let their company lose money, and they have their own way of doing business.
The acquisition point of the Sword and Shield Weapons and Equipment Company, which occupies a good position in the central business district, sets a threshold for the raw materials to be purchased, that is, the fifth order.
In other words, this acquisition point of the Sword and Shield Weapons and Equipment Company only buys raw materials above the fifth order, and those who have not reached this level are sorry, please go to the bazaar in the outer city and the satellite cities on all sides.
The price offered by the acquisition point of the Sword and Shield Weapons and Equipment Company for raw materials above the fifth order is very affordable, so after many evolutionaries go out hunting and have a good harvest, they will basically choose to take away a certain distance and bring it to the central business district of Houtu City, and sell it to the Sword and Shield Company, just to make a little more profit.
Of course, the reason why Luo Hou chose to come to the central business district of Houtu City not only for the insignificant premium, but also because he was worried that his shipments this time were too large, and whether other acquisitions would have the strength to eat it.
With such a huge batch of goods, I'm afraid that even if the Sword and Shield Company wants to eat them all, it will be a little difficult.
While comparing the map of Houtu City, Luo Hou drove slowly and drove along the predetermined road to the acquisition point set up by the Sword and Shield Weapons and Equipment Company in the center of the city.
When Luo Hou's card room finally came to the Sword and Shield Acquisition Department, his heart was finally put back in his stomach.
At the intersection of the two roads, in a prime position at an obtuse angle, an extraordinary six-story building stands there, and a square with an area of nearly 300 square meters has been set aside in front of the door for guests to park.
This entire building is the raw material acquisition point set up by the Sword and Shield Weapons and Equipment Company in the central business district of Thick Earth City.
Luo Hou sat in the car and looked around, only to see that the square in front of the Sword and Shield Company was like a city, with cars coming and going, and a series of nine acquisition windows side by side were busy, looking like they were thriving.
Just a raw material acquisition point, there is such a courage, the strength of this sword and shield weapons and equipment company can be imagined, it must be a first-class strong, the crown of the thick earth city.
Will such a company not be able to afford its own truckload of goods?
Luo Hou believes that this is obviously impossible, with the company's background, although it is not easy to eat his own inventory, he will definitely not feel difficult, at most it is just a little troublesome.
It's only the middle of the second month of the lunar calendar, and it's not the best time to go out hunting, but at this moment, in front of Luo Hou's eyes, the evolutionaries who drove to the sword and shield to sell raw materials have already lined up in a few old lines.
There is a long line of freight vehicles in front of Luo Hou's car, waiting to queue up to enter, the square with an area of about 300 square meters has almost been crowded with all kinds of freight vehicles, if it were not for the extremely wide street construction here, it might have caused traffic jams.
Before it was his turn for a while, Luo Hou stopped the car, took out a cigarette and smoked it slowly, and then thought about where to go out to hunt demon beasts this time.
The ninth-order demon beasts are not those low-level demon beasts, they are everywhere, in groups, as long as you are willing to exert your strength, you can't kill them all.
If you want to find a large enough number of ninth-order demon beasts, sometimes it depends entirely on luck. (To be continued......)
