Chapter Twenty-Three: The Caravan Arriving Early
Lin Bin hesitated for a moment, but finally gave an affirmative answer, and after a while, except for a brass-colored ring, McGregory had completely disappeared from this world. The blood-colored horn cup and bone armor could even absorb the flesh, blood core, and bones of the blood clan and convert them into spiritual power, which made Lin Bin feel quite surprised.
This brass-colored ring was the most intact piece of jewelry left on McGregory's body, and the rest of the things were damaged under the lightning light, and even turned into ashes.
Lin Bin looked at it over and over for a long time, and he didn't figure out why this inconspicuous-looking ring could still look intact after multiple lightning strikes.
Lin Bin put the ring away, it was definitely not suitable to see the light of day until he figured out McGregor's identity and the peculiarities of this ring, even if Lin Bin could add an illusion to it, so that people could not recognize its true face, Lin Bin did not want to take any risks.
Looking at the purple mansion inside, the blood-colored liquid in the blood-colored horn cup had exceeded half a cup at this time, although the bone armor had not changed significantly, it was still the pattern of the two-headed demon python, but Lin Bin felt that the bone of the bone armor seemed to have become denser and shinier.
With the spiritual power that McGregory had transformed, Lin Bin had full confidence to advance to the fusion period, but before that, he still needed to make some preparations, and he also needed to go back to Dongling Village.
Standing on the mountain ridge, looking at the mountains and forests in the distance, Canghu's face was gloomy, and sixteen days had passed in a blink of an eye, and Lin Bin still hadn't appeared, which made Canghu's mood extremely bad. Although on the fifth day, he ventured back to the place where he was separated from Lin Bin and found Lin Bin's simple letter, but after so much time, Lin Bin still didn't hear anything, which made him feel anxious. Therefore, although he asked everyone else to go back to the village to prepare for the war, he has been staying here, hoping to support Lin Bin as soon as possible.
That piece of mountain and forest is full of dangers, Lin Bin has been "following" the jackals for so long, although he has not seen any traces of the jackals all the time, but Canghu is still worried in his heart - Lin Bin's archery skills are no matter how good he is, facing a group of fierce jackals alone in that mountain forest, and a combination of several Cadiegos, he is definitely walking on the edge of the cliff all the time. What's more, he has to face not only the gnolls, but also the mysterious mountain forest.
Although Canghu has been in three times, if there is no stone talisman given by Lin Bin, I am afraid that he will be buried in that mountain forest when he comes back for the second time.
Canghu had already decided in his heart that Lin Bin must be a person with great background, and the self-made double-curved bow and the magical stone talisman were by no means something that ordinary people could do. Although he didn't know why Lin Bin fell to Ashan, and he didn't know whether the amnesia Lin Bin said was true or false, he believed in his eyes and believed that even if Lin Bin deceived himself, it was by no means malicious concealment, but had a reason that he had no choice but to do.
Moreover, if Lin Bin hadn't shot the Cadigo this time, and led away the gnoll man Dongling Village, I don't know how many people would have died - although Lin Bin left a message to follow the gnoll, Canghu didn't believe it.
"Hey!" the tiger exhaled and slammed his fist into the boulder beside him, leaving a clear fist mark.
Under this punch, Canghu seemed to vent all the depression in his heart, but his expression calmed down. He decided, wait here for another four days, if Lin Bin still hasn't come back, he will go to the mountain forest again, this time he can't find Lin Bin, he won't just retreat like that.
"Second brother!" came the voice of the blue wolf behind him.
Canghu turned his head to look over, only to see the blue wolf running up from the slope quickly, frowning slightly, and said: "Third child, didn't I tell you to stay in the village?" There are only a few powerful hunters in Dongling Village, there is a threat of jackals who don't know when they will appear, and now it is winter, if the beasts or even fierce beasts can't get enough food in the mountains, they may go down the mountain to the village to forage, and it is not possible to do without a few excellent hunters sitting in the village.
"Second brother, I have to come here. The Yanjia caravan will arrive at our Dongling Village the day after tomorrow, and yesterday we sent a few people to summon us and ask us to prepare the materials for exchange. The blue wolf gasped, "The village wants you to go back and preside over the transaction." ”
"Ah, why did you come so early this year?" said Canghu, taken aback. Dongling Village is located in the middle of nowhere, but there are also caravans that come to exchange some supplies. Bringing much-needed daily necessities to the villagers and sending their savings out of the mountain is about two or three times a year.
Although it is said that every year, the villagers of Dongling Village will also organize themselves to go to the nearest town to exchange some urgently needed materials, but it may take more than ten days to go back and forth, and the materials transported are also limited, and it is impossible for the caravan to bring all the goods, and in the process of going back and forth, it will take considerable risks. Therefore, every caravan coming is an extremely important event in the village.
This Yanjia caravan is the caravan that mainly travels to and from the villages in this area, but in the past, they only entered the mountains at the end of winter to trade, and they have never come to Dongling Village so early.
"yes, who knows how they did it this time. The blue wolf also said indignantly, the sudden arrival of the Yanjia caravan caught them off guard, these days, the villagers have invested their energy and time in strengthening the village wall and renovating the armament, and the other work has almost been put down, originally thinking that if they can escape the jackal, there is still time to prepare the materials for trading. And if the village is breached by the gnolls, no matter how much trade materials are prepared, it will only be cheaper for the gnolls! The result is that the gnolls did not come, but the Yanjia caravan came in advance!
The Yanjia caravan is coming, and Canghu, as the main person in charge of the village, naturally wants to come forward, and the village can only send him out and ask him to call Canghu back to preside over the overall situation - if someone else comes, it is impossible to safely find Canghu through this mountain forest in such a short time.
"Lin Bin hasn't heard any news yet?" the blue wolf asked again.
"No!" Canghu sighed, he was a little torn and lacking in skills.
He is the broadest vision in the village, and he is also the most powerful in the village, and the transactions with the Yanjia caravan in recent years have been negotiated by him on behalf of the village, and it stands to reason that he should return to the village immediately - since the Yanjia caravan is here at this time, then the spring trade will be canceled, and if the village cannot exchange enough supplies from the caravan, the lives of the villagers will be greatly affected.
