But after thinking about it for a while, Zhu Jian said to Lin Xiao with a little shame: "Brother Leopard Xiao, I can only get three thousand gold coins from Yueya Village now, you can take all of them, and I will make up the rest as soon as possible." ”

"No, no. Lin Xiao hurriedly waved his hand, "Since it is an installment payment, it is not in a hurry, this time I will only take two thousand pieces, you are such a big cottage, you must leave some expenses." ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhu Jianqiang secretly blushed, and his love for Lin Xiao was even greater, because he could actually get four thousand gold coins now, but for the turnover of the cottage, he especially said a thousand pieces, but he didn't expect Lin Xiao to think about him.

"Brother Bao Xiao, you are really benevolent and righteous, and my old pig admires you. But as an elder brother, I want to remind you that to human beings, don't easily expose the treasures in your hands, I know human beings too well, they are too greedy and vicious. After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Jianqiang said softly: "As far as I know, because of the instigation of the jackal, Cao Hong and Ye Tianlong are very likely to be unfavorable to you, so it is better for you to leave as soon as possible." ”

Lin Xiao's eyes flashed with coldness, and he hugged his fists and said to Pig Jianqiang: "Thank you Brother Pig for telling me that I will not let him go." But humans are indeed difficult to deal with, once they have acquired vitality or magic, it is really not something that we orcs can compete with. ”

"If I really meet a human warrior or mage, I have something here that can deal with it for a while. The pig said strongly, and took out a fist-sized ball from his bosom.

"What is this?" Lin Xiao asked puzzled, looking at the porcelain-white ball.

Lin Xiao had an intuition that this small ball contained a vague energy.

"It's a spell seal ball. Pig Jianqiang said in a slightly mysterious low voice.

"Spell Seal Ball?!" exclaimed Leopard Li, who had been listening quietly from the side.

"Do you know what this thing is?" Lin Xiao asked Leopard Li hurriedly.

"Yes, human spells are unpredictable, but to use some high-level spells, it takes a lot of mana, and it takes a certain amount of time to activate when facing enemies. Therefore, some mages have developed a way to deconstruct some powerful spells, and then engrave them on some special materials through very complex spells, and only use a very small amount of mana to excite them, and they can immediately release the strong ** spells sealed in them. Most of the materials used to seal spells are very valuable, and the final form varies, such as spell seal scrolls, spell seal balls, and so on. As soon as Leopard Li was introduced here, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "However, although the use of sealed spells only requires a very small amount of mana, it is also needed, but we orcs can't learn vitality and mana, so it's useless to get it?"

"That's what makes this thing wonderful. Zhu Jianqiang said with a slight smugness: "This spell seal ball in my hand has a 'hot fire', although the grade is not high, it is only an eight-grade spell, but it does not require any mana to stimulate it, as long as you hit it hard, it will be activated after a breath." ”

"Spell Seal Balls that don't require mana activation?!" Leopard Li's eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes, this kind of spell seal ball is usually bought by human nobles or wealthy merchants who have no magic talent for self-defense. But because it can't be stimulated with mana, its power is limited, and most of them are low-level spells of eighth, ninth, and tenth grades. It is a good self-defense to deal with some small dangers or delay a little. I managed to get some of them. Pig said as he stroked the sealing ball in his hand.

"This thing is great! We orcs can also use spells, how many gold coins did you buy this thing, Brother Pig. Lin Xiao asked.

"Although the spell sealed by this thing is not very powerful, in order to be activated without mana, some precious materials are specially used, and the requirements for refiners are also very high, so it costs a hundred gold coins each, and I have ten here. If you need it, Brother Leopard Xiao, I can give it to you, anyway, the purchase channel has been established, I just need to buy it again. Pig said strongly.

"Very good, I will buy these ten sealing balls from Brother Pig for one hundred and fifty gold coins. Lin Xiao said generally.

"Where can I earn your money, brother, one is still worth a hundred gold coins. The pig said resolutely.

Seeing that Lin Xiao still wanted to excuse himself, the pig pulled down his face and acted angry: "If you refuse again, you will refuse to recognize me as a friend." ”

Lin Xiao saw that the pig was strong and said this, so he had to give up and thanked him again and again.

Pig Qiang entered the inner chamber and took out all ten sealing balls, a total of three colors, four red ones, with the seal "Hot Fire", three cyan ones, with the seal "Wind Slash", and three blue ones, with the seal "Waterspout".

After handing over these sealing balls to Lin Xiao, Zhu Jianqiang introduced the methods of use and the power characteristics of these three eight-rank spells one by one.

In the end, Lin Xiao and Leopard Li each took five of the ten sealing balls.

Lin Xiao was itching in his heart, and he really wanted to try one, but when he thought that he could only buy one for a hundred gold coins, he couldn't waste it, so he had to give up.

"Big brother, big brother!" a series of rapid shouts from far and now, accompanied by the sound of fast-running footsteps.

As soon as the three of them went out, they saw Pig Gangguan crashing in.

"Second brother, didn't you go to patrol the village, what's the situation?" asked Zhu Jianqiang.

Seeing that Lin Xiao and Leopard Li were also there, Zhu Gangguan hurriedly nodded and said anxiously: "Big brother, something is wrong, I'm afraid there will be a demon storm today!"

"Demon Storm!" Pig Strong, startled, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, the rain in the past few days has been very rare, it is already very dangerous, but the upper reaches are full of those otter people built by those otter people, but most of them have been washed away this time, which can be said to be worse, the rain and the bursting of these dikes have formed a large flood peak, which has washed the entire Yingyue River basin. Da Hongfeng has arrived ten miles upstream of Moon Cliff City, and according to the report from the spies, they have already seen high-level water tribe demonic beasts at the head of the tide. Zhu Gangguan said in one breath.

"These water rats!" the pig slapped the table with hatred.

"I said a long time ago that I would sweep them up as soon as possible, big brother, you always don't listen, I'm afraid of this, I'm afraid of that, isn't it what Zhennan general they have taken refuge in a human being?"

"Alright, alright! There's no point in talking about this now, the ten-mile road is just around for the flood, you should hurry up and issue an alarm!" said the pig strongly.

"I have already ordered the guards in the palace to do this, and I will go to the wall to defend it now. Pig Gang said Gang Guan.

"Okay! Pig Strong commanded.

"Then the two of us will also go with the second village master to have a look. Although Lin Xiao was confused, his curiosity was aroused.

"The two of you are guests, it's better to find a place to hide, the Demon Storm is very dangerous. Pig Gang said Gang Guan.

"Since everyone is in the village, it can be said that they are in the same boat, how can there be a reason to stand by and watch, and we should also contribute. Leopard Li said.

Lin Xiao nodded again and again.

"Okay, Brother Leopard Xiao and Miss Leopard Li will have a trip with Pig Someone. Zhu Gang waved his hand and said loudly.

Lin Xiao and his entourage left the village lord's mansion and hurried down the main road.

Inside the cottage, it was already a busy scene, and there were rows of pig guards coming and going.

The guards marched in a column of three and five with serious expressions, armed with swords and armor, some of them running along the road towards the wall, while others walked along the streets and alleys of the wall, beating gongs and shouting: "Demon Storm Tide! Martial law is urgent! Women, children, and the elderly are hiding in their houses and do not go out." ”

"All the men take up arms and go into their respective positions!"

At the same time, I could only hear a burst of heavy and rapid "dang...... When the sound of "......", this is the sound that Moon Cliff City will only emit when it encounters a sudden attack by the enemy, and it represents the alarm bell of the emergency mobilization.

I saw that the middle-aged men of every household rushed out of the house one after another, holding all kinds of light and heavy weapons, anxiously asking each other what was going on, and running to their respective positions.

All the men in Moon Cliff are warriors, and each has their own place to defend in wartime.

The whole Moon Cliff Village was suddenly noisy, but it was not chaotic, there were heavy and neat footsteps everywhere, the sound of swords and guns colliding, Moon Cliff City soon showed its grandeur, just like a rich merchant suddenly took off his clothes, wore armor, drew his sword in his hand, and his temperament suddenly changed.

The foreign merchants in the inns were anxiously asking the pig guards around them, and they were talking about it.

"What kind of demon storm tide? Why does it feel so serious?!" Lin Xiao had never heard of any demon storm tide, and asked the pig gang in front of him as he walked.

"It's very serious, the last time there was a demonic storm was eighty years ago, and half of the Moon Cliff Village was destroyed that time. Pig Gangguan's voice was full of solemnity.

"What?!It's so terrifying!What is this demonic storm?" Lin Xiao was also nervous at this time.

Zhu Gangguan didn't stop at his feet, and explained to Lin Xiao: "The basin of this Yingyue River outside the Moon Cliff Village contains countless streams, ditches, pools, and lakes. There are countless aquarium monsters in these waters. Normally, because of the small water potential, they cannot leave the water where they live. But with the improvement of strength and realm, they need to leave their original small world. At this time, if there is a big flood, these water beasts will take advantage of the flood and enter the Yingyue River downstream. Then down the river, into the boundless marsh ocean of the east, in search of a greater world. ”

Seeing that Lin Xiao was fascinated by what he heard, Zhu Gangguan continued: "And if it coincides with a major flood that has not been encountered for many years, then these water tribe monsters will gather on a large scale, and some high-level water tribe monsters that have been practicing for an unknown number of years will also appear, thus forming a torrent of water tribe monsters." ”

"This is the Demon Storm Tide?" Lin Xiao suddenly realized.

"Yes, but the most terrifying thing is that the riverbed that Moon Cliff City is facing has slowed down, and the water flow has slowed down dramatically, so these water beasts will crowd up here and show their heads in large numbers, and this will cause a terrible chain reaction. Pig Gang said worriedly.

Although there were still a lot of questions in his heart, Lin Xiao saw that Zhu Gangguan was already absent-minded, and kept issuing various instructions to the guards around him as he walked, knowing that he was anxious now, so he didn't ask any more questions, but just ran closely.

Soon, the three of them had come to the wall,

There were exclamations of surprise on the wall.

"Wow!"

"Oh!"

Loud and loud.
