Chapter 817: Quid pro quo
A long time ago, when productivity was low, the tribesmen did not have so many skills, and the things they used were made of bones, stones, and straw ropes, which were called bone faults and stone mistakes, and there are still people who still use such names, such as the people of the "畀" organization.

"Is the leader wrong?" Everyone didn't know about this, but they also guessed that it should be something similar to Jin, and it was quite special, and the title could be seen with the word "leader".
"Yes. "That is the identity symbol and proof of each leader of the 'Qi', when the old and the new change, the old leader will give it to the new successor leader." Rumor has it that it was made from the hardest bones of a beast that no longer exists. ”
In addition to the knots they used to untie the knots, the slave owners of the "畀" organization also had a kind of identity symbol, similar to an identity token.
Within the organization, the hibiscus owned by the high-ranking people were structurally complex, but that complexity was not the kind of complexity that the nobles used as ornaments to pay attention to appearance, but the complexity of practicality. When tying knots, you can use the knot to tie more difficult knots, and when you untie them, you also need to use the knot to untie the knot more quickly.
If it is said that the knotted jin carried by ordinary people is a key, then the more complex jin owned by the people in the high position in the "畀" is ********, which combines the functions of many shapes of the knot, and every arc and every hollow place on it has its usefulness, and in the hands of skilled people, the jin can become a knotted artifact.
And what Thief Qi stole was the thing that symbolized the identity of the leader, which was a significant "********". Without it, when the old and the new are alternated, there is one step missing, although it is not as serious as the jade seal of the country, "if you get it, you will be ordered by the sky, and if you lose it, the qi will be exhausted", but no one wants to become a white version of the leader, and I always feel that there is something missing, and the confidence is insufficient.
This thing was stolen, and no one could bear it.
"Did you really steal the Boss Bone Mistake from the Chief?" the others asked suspiciously.
"Of course, I stole it from the leader of the 'Tsuki'. Faced with everyone's suspicion, Thief Seven was very dissatisfied. How powerful he is, these people are even suspicious!
"You hid in the ranks of slaves just to avoid being chased and killed?" Shao Xuan asked.
"Yes. Not only did he not feel that he was cowardly to this way of escaping, but he felt that he was really smart, and he would definitely not have thought that he would hide in the team that organized the slave escort.
The thief seven was planted twice in Shao Xuan's hands, and was even demoted, if it weren't for the people in front of him who had braids, he would have kept the ranking of "seven", otherwise, he would have been pushed to "eight". Disgrace!
Later, the catastrophe of heaven and earth, the two continents were brought closer, and the "thieves" shifted their targets to this side and attacked the nobles. Because of his previous failures, Thief Seven has carefully analyzed and tried his best to improve, making some details more perfect, and he has even learned to change the smell of sweat, that is, he can perfectly simulate the smell of others, which is why he can avoid those tracking insects and beasts with a keen sense of smell.
However, I don't know what method I'm using to track it, even if there is no trace of the smell, I can still chase it, but it's a little slower.
The thief himself is good at dressing up, and when he was evading the pursuit of Mi, he decided to infiltrate this slave team, and in this way, he successfully evaded the search of several waves of people sent by him. I don't want to make this matter public, so the people sent are all cronies, and their positions in the department are relatively high, and the leader of this team has to nod when he sees those people, but unfortunately, it is not unreasonable to be dark under the lamp. Every time he watched a group of people looking for him pass by, Thief Seven was secretly smug, feeling that he was simply a genius.
The old slave died of illness in one night, and Thief Seven found an opportunity to put down the other slaves around him with medicine, and then unknowingly transferred the old slave's body out, and disguised himself as him.
According to the plan of the thief seven, he planned to sneak into Chaoqiu City and escape, and then hide in the sea of people, the more people there are, the more beneficial it is for him. It's just that he didn't expect it to fall into the hands of the Yanjiao people again.
Thief Qi never dared to believe that he had deceived the people of the palace and the leader of the dignified No. 1 slave trade organization, and those experienced slave owners could not see anything in him, but they were planted in the hands of the same person three times! He decided that he would slip away when he saw Shao Xuan in the future, and he could not take any chances.
And the reason why Thief Qi chose to tell the truth directly is that he hopes that Yanjiao can spread this glorious deed, and secondly, he has already figured out how to get out: first take Yanjiao people out to find it, and then find an opportunity to slip away.
"Where's the thing?" Gui asked, "where is the leader's bone?"
Thief Qi was sure in his heart, and was about to answer, when he heard Shao Xuan next to him say: "Don't listen to his nonsense." A few people came, and they picked him up first. ”
Thief Seven: "......" and so on! Shouldn't the normal development route be for him to tell the Yanjiao people to hide something somewhere, and then the Yanjiao people let him lead the way, and then he will take the Yanjiao people everywhere to find a chance to escape? But now, this thing is not going the right way!
The people around him restrained the thief seven, and at this time, even if he had three heads and six arms, he couldn't escape.
Thief Qi was about to quibble, when he saw Shao Xuan coming over with a knife, and the sunlight reflected by the blade carried a dazzling cold, which frightened Thief Qi.
"Wait! you can't kill me!" shouted Thief Qi's heart turned sharply.
"Then come yourself and take out what is hidden in your belly. Shao Xuan said.
The ghost idea of stealing Qi's head was suddenly out of the way, and Shao Xuan's words made him stuck all of a sudden.
"What...... What?"
Shao Xuan tapped the tip of the knife on the belly of Thief Qi, "The things here, take them out, and you are still going to hide the raw eggs?"
Thief Qi gritted his teeth: "...... How do you know?"
The other people around looked dazed, and then reacted again, Thief Qi is hiding something!
The people around looked at Thief Seven's abdomen.
Knowing that he couldn't avoid it, Thief Qi didn't have the mind to talk about it anymore, his expression was gloomy, and he moved his arm, "Let go, I'll do it myself." ”
The person who grabbed the thief seven let go of his hand, and saw that the thief's fingers moved, and a bone fragment the size of a fingernail appeared in his finger, the edge of the bone fragment was sharp, and the person who grabbed the thief seven just now felt a pang in his heart, if the thief was really desperate, he would be the first to die. Careless!
Thief Seven didn't care what the others thought, he was only thinking about how to keep his loot now.
Thief Qi used the small piece of bone to draw a finger-long line on the abdomen, which was very shallow, and everyone thought that the skin could not be broken, but they found that the shallow opening was getting bigger and bigger, and Thief Qi flicked it with his fingers, and a skin that seemed to be similar to human skin was revealed.
Disguise!
The "thieves", in order to increase the success rate of each shot, they have mastered more and more camouflage techniques, and now, not only physical changes, but also with the help of foreign objects.
The layer of fake skin was revealed, and there was a depression in the belly of the thief, and there was a palm-sized thing shaped like a beast's tooth hidden in the depression.
"Jin?!"
"Isn't that what it is...... The leader is wrong?" The thing that can make Thief Qi protect so well is definitely not an ordinary item, plus Thief Qi also said just now that he stole the leader of the Leader Bone Mistake from the leader of the organization, then, this possibility is great.
"It turned out that he was hiding there, no wonder he had been bending over before, so he was not afraid of getting hurt?" Ao asked. Even if it is not as sharp as the blade, it has curved sharp corners, and it is not safe to wrap it in something, and if the abdominal organs are injured by something hidden, it will be dangerous, after all, there are not witches outside to rescue at any time.
Thief Seven pulled his mouth and was silent. In the eyes of others, Thief Qi also fought hard to hide things, but Shao Xuan can see through a special vision that the body structure of the thief is different from others, and when Thief Qi is hiding things, there are four more bones in his abdomen than others, protecting his organs, and Thief Qi dares to take things into account, naturally taking into account many factors.
People who can't think about "thieves" with ordinary thinking, almost every part of their body structure is for better camouflage, and at the same time can play a role in self-protection, even if the bones of the whole body are misaligned, the muscles are compressed, and the organs move, it will not affect them at all.
Many organizations here are gathered by people from different backgrounds, but the thieves have a common ancestor, and their bloodline makes them have a natural advantage in disguise. But there are also differences between different individuals, just like the eleven thieves and twelve thieves that Shao Xuan had seen before, they were inferior to the thieves seven, and the physical structure of the thieves was superior, and he might really be rushed into the top three rankings in the thieves in the future.
Looking away from Thief Qi, Shao Xuan took the leader Bone Mistake from Thief Qi's hand, Thief Qi was reluctant to let go, and grabbed the leader Bone Mistake with a painful face.
The general shape of this leader's bone is not much different from that worn by other slave owners, except that there are more hollow patterns, and there are a few more curved arcs at the edges, and the pointed end still retains the shape of the tip of the animal's teeth, and the blunt end is carved in the shape of a beast's head. Even if the living form has long since died, and this bone has been artificially carved, those who see it can still feel the ancient majesty at first sight.
The reason why Shao Xuan was able to recognize the thief seven at a glance was because of this leader's bone mistake, in his special vision, this thing was very bright, and the skeleton of that group of slaves and slave owners was eclipsed by it, like the only star in the hazy night sky, it was difficult for Shao Xuan to ignore it.
Of course, it is puzzling to see this thing exist in an old slave who seems to be dying.
In fact, the disguise of the thief Qi really wanted to improve a lot compared to the past, at first glance, Shao Xuan couldn't recognize him from that group of people, but with this leader's bone mistake, Shao Xuan looked carefully again, and only then did he see some clues.
Ever since he came out of the weird spiritual consciousness world of the Yi family, Shao Xuan found that he could see different fires fused with all kinds of people, and the fires carried by each person were different, just like fingerprints. No matter how well the thief Qi hid it, but after Shao Xuan was serious, he also recognized it.
Gui Qi and the others were curious about how Thief Qi stole this leader's bone mistake from Si's hands, but this kind of question involving technology, Thief Seven would never answer.
"Ah Xuan, what are you going to do with this thing?" Gui Yan took the leader bone from Shao Xuan's hand and studied it, and asked.
"Take it, when the time comes, go and negotiate the conditions with you, if you can't get satisfactory conditions, they don't want to go back to this thing. Shao Xuan said.
Gui Yan nodded, he also thought the same thing, this leader bone mistake is indeed a good thing, its hardness may not be able to leave obvious marks on it even if it is new bronze, and the biggest use of this thing for others is to tie and untie knots, and for Qi, it has a more important meaning. Instead of taking this thing as your own, it is better to give full play to its maximum value and negotiate terms with the people.
"Thieves" and "thieves" are like mosquitoes and bed bugs in the eyes of everyone, and no one likes them. It would be nice to be able to snatch something from the thief and then negotiate terms with you.
Seeing that the Yanjiao people really didn't plan to return the things, and the loveless emotions that Thief Qi really exuded from the inside out, his plan to rush to the top three was probably going to be postponed.
No, you can't give up so easily!
Thief Qi's mind turned sharply, thinking about how he could get things back from Yan Jiao's hands, when he was first caught by Shao Xuan, Yan Jiao also talked to him about the conditions before letting him go......
"Wait!"
Thief Qi stopped Shao Xuan and Gui Xuan, stared at the leader bone in Gui Xuan's hand and glanced at it, and then turned to Shao Xuan, "I'll exchange it with you with a message." ”
"What's the news?" asked Gui Yan with interest. He wanted to hear what Thief Seven could take out in exchange for the leader's bone mistake.
"It's worth it to you! If I tell me the news, you give me back. It's useless for you to keep it anyway, and you'll get into trouble. "Seven thieves.
"You speak first. Shao Xuan looked at Thief Seven.
"No, you agree first, and I'll talk about it. ”
"Forget it. ”
"Wait! What's the hurry!" Thief Qi said Shao Xuan, his tone was hurried, for fear that Shao Xuan would leave slowly, "I know you guys are here this time for the lost tribesmen." I can exchange it with you with an important piece of information about the '畀', which may help you negotiate with the '畀' and the royal city. ”
"'Xi' and Wang Cheng?" both Shao Xuan and Gui Yan keenly discovered the hidden meaning of these words.
"How did you get such important news?" asked Gui Yan.
Thief Qi was proud with a pride that he couldn't hide, "I overheard it when I was stealing." ”
Thief's outlook on life and values - stealing is not a mistake, it is an honor.
Hearing this, Gui Xuan was silent, glanced at Shao Xuan, and when he saw Shao Xuan nodding, he raised his hand and waved his hand, signaling the other people around to withdraw first, leaving only Gui Xuan, Shao Xuan and Ao. (To be continued.) )
