Chapter Ninety-Six: The Lion-Faced Beast
Silently avoided the important and said the trip to the Blackwater Village roughly, Rao is so, when it comes to the more sensitive word of blood demon, Leng Dong and Leng Yi are still surprised; at first they all thought that the trip to the Blackwater Village was just a relaxing and pleasant journey to exterminate corpses, but they didn't expect that there would be such a big change in it.
In Shen Mo's view, the trip to Blackwater Village is destined to be sad, helpless, and more than worth the loss;
Maybe Shen Mo successfully killed the Blood Demon and completed the five-star bounty mission, but the outbreak of the corpse plague still took the lives of thousands of innocent civilians, and even Lin Xuanqing's mercenary figure was almost destroyed; Shen Mo didn't want to dwell on this painful topic, and after summarizing it in a few words, he never mentioned it.
There is a world of difference between Wangcheng and the small city where Shen Mo lived before, the most intuitive feeling is that the night of Wangcheng is not much inferior to the day, and even the more organic the night, the lights are on, the people are boiling, so that the word prosperity is shown on another level;
If light is confusion caused by obfuscation, then darkness is the epiphany that comes from seeing everything as it is.
In his sleep, he silently felt the strong aura emitted when the mixed yuan qi was running slowly, and the warm aura moistened all parts of his body, and even the curative effect was several times better than that of the blood coral that was comparable to the treasure of heaven and earth, and the damaged meridians were healing themselves at a speed visible to the naked eye under the nourishment of the aura.
The next morning, when Shen Mo woke up from his dream, he felt more energetic than ever, and when he looked inside, he found that except for the wound that had been severely injured by the blood blade of the Blood Demon, he was basically fine. Shen Mo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, with the help of Chaoyuan's determination, although his self-healing ability was still a bit small compared to Marita, it was enough to defy the sky compared to ordinary people.
The dew has not yet dissipated, and early in the morning, Shen Mo took Leng Dong to the black market of the war pet in Wangcheng, to find a war pet who can support the scene in the Hundred Courtyards.
Ordinary people can sign a war pet contract up to three times, but most people only sign it once in their life, because it takes a lot of energy to cultivate a tacit understanding with a war pet, and a war pet has to take great pains, let alone two or three;
Like the rest of the world, the black market in Wangcheng hides all kinds of buried boutiques, but it is also full of worldliness, mixed religions, fish and dragons, cries and curses.
Most of the items on the black market are not from the right way, some are stolen, some are robbed, and some are bought from others and sold for a profit; usually, the famous families or righteous people and gentlemen disdain to come to this kind of place, and only those who are tight in their pockets or unruly come back here to treasure for money.
Shen Mo and Leng Dong purposefully walked to the front of a store specializing in war pets, the boss was a middle-aged man in his early forties, fat and round, with two mustaches in the middle of the person, and his appearance alone vividly interpreted the true colors of the profiteer.
Seeing that Shen Mo and Leng Dong were not very old, the boss's bean-like eyes flashed with a gleam, and the people were enthusiastic, but they were actually ready to slaughter the two hairy boys fiercely and said: "Yo, two little brothers, what are you going to buy?" The war pets in my store are all outstanding boutiques, and it is definitely worth the money to buy back, which is incomparable to other stores. ”
Leng Dong glanced at the various demon beasts in the cage in the store, and asked casually: "As long as there is a suitable war pet, money is not a problem." ”
As soon as he heard this, the boss's eyes instantly lit up, and he secretly said in his heart, I didn't expect that these two unattractive boys were still a big money, who would they kill if they didn't slaughter?
The corner of the boss's mouth showed an imperceptible smirk, and he enthusiastically welcomed Shen Mo and Leng Dong into the store, pointed to a demon beast locked in the corner of the wall, and said: "Two little brothers, take a look, how about this demon beast? This is a third-level black-eared jackal, fierce by nature, although the body is thin, but because of its violent character, the fourth and fifth level demon beasts dare not provoke it easily;
Fifty gold?
Hearing this number, Shen Mo and Leng Dong looked at each other and smiled;
The boss was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?
No matter how cheap Shen Mo and Leng Dong are, they are from a small place almost in the countryside, not a noble young master who doesn't know anything, like this kind of third-level demon beast, how many do you need in the 100,000 mountains, especially the black-eared jackals, almost all of them are war pets on the rotten street, and when they meet the jackal hunting king who is in excellent condition, it is only ten gold; this boss actually asks for fifty gold, and I don't know if Lu Dao wants to go crazy for money, or deliberately slaughters Shen Mo and Leng Dong.
From the shrewd and contemptuous eyes of the boss, it can be seen that it clearly belongs to the latter. Leng Dong was about to reprimand, but was stopped by Shen Mu.
Shen Mo looked the fat boss up and down, pointed at the black-eared jackal casually, and said with a smile: "Boss, you said that this demon beast is worth fifty gold?"
Hearing this, the boss patted his chest and swore an oath: "That's a must, I think when I bought it from an old hunter who specializes in selling demon beasts, it cost nearly forty gold, plus the rent of my store, and all kinds of expenses for raising it, together, it's not too much to ask you for fifty gold." ”
This boss has a clever mouth, and he doesn't blush when he lies;
Shen Mo stretched out his hand and patted the iron cage of the black-eared jackal, and the violent black-eared jackal looked up at Shen Mo, stuck out his tongue, and continued to bow his head and doze, looking a little listless.
Seeing this, Shen Mo smiled faintly, and said to the boss: "I don't know if you are interested in doing a business?"
"What business?" the boss raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself what kind of business this humble teenager could bring to himself?
Shen Mo said: "When you bought this black-eared jackal, you spent forty gold, I think the boss you have lost money in this transaction; the black-eared jackal is violent by nature, as long as there is a living person close, there will be a bloody battle; and I put my hand on this cage, but this black-eared jackal did not react at all, where is the war pet, even a local dog that cares for the home is not as good; in this way, I will sell you a batch of black-eared jackals, guaranteed to be in better condition than this one, and will not charge you more, just thirty gold." ”
Hearing this, the boss was stunned for a moment, then showed a touch of shame on his face, and asked tentatively: "Why, you know the black-eared jackal very well?"
Leng Dong glanced at the boss, and said angrily: "In our place, no one wants the black-eared Fierce Jackal to give it away, even if it is a Fierce Jackal King with the strength of the third-level peak, it is only worth hardware;
"E......" didn't expect to meet an expert, the boss was a little embarrassed, but after all, he had been doing business for half his life, and his face was still very thick, and after a short period of entanglement, he immediately changed his smiling face, as if nothing had happened just now.
"Hehe, I was just joking with you just now, this black-eared jackal is what I used to watch the door, anyway, it also has a lot of feelings, even if you give money, I may not sell it. The boss said clearly, and instantly changed his identity from an unscrupulous profiteer to a master who values love and justice.
Of course, Shen Mo and Leng Dong knew that he was talking nonsense, but they didn't expose it.
Shen Mo said: "Shouldn't you take us to see some high-grade goods now?"
"It's nature. The boss Ha Luha smiled, even if he turned over this article, and then walked into the backyard with Shen Mo and Leng Dong.
Compared to the front yard, this backyard can be described as a world of difference, even the air is filled with a thick beastly aura; all kinds of demon beasts are locked in special iron cages, grinning and roaring, among which the lowest level is a fourth-level demon beast, and the highest level is actually a sixth-level howling wolf.
The boss knew that the two of them were experts, and they didn't dare to treat it casually, pointing to the snow-white fur, very mighty Howling Sky Wolf and said: "This sixth-level demon beast Howling Sky Wolf is the treasure of my town store, in order to catch it, I hired more than a dozen hunters to drive it into the trap before catching it." You can see the color of its coat, its teeth, and its deep eyes, all of which show its quality. ”
This time, the boss did not fool Shen Mo and Leng Dong, this sixth-level Howling Sky Wolf is indeed a rare good product, but with the experience of the past, Shen Mo and Leng Dong did not immediately ask the price, but carefully looked at the Howling Sky Wolf and avoided the boss's way.
Gollum......
Just as he was silently and intently looking at the howling wolf, suddenly, there was a strange sound in his ears, like the wail of a stomach that had not eaten for a long time.
Shen Mo followed the sound and looked over, only to see that in an iron cage not far away, there was a strange creature in it, it had a human body, strong arms, tight muscles, and smooth skin, it looked like a bodybuilder at first glance, and the reason why it was a strange creature was because on its broad shoulders it was not a human head, but a huge lion head.
Shen Mo looked at the lion-headed monster at the same time, and at the same time the other party also stared at Shen Mo with big eyes like cowbells, and after a moment, its lips moved slightly, and it spat out a human language that was too standard to be standard: "Look at what to see, look at it again, and gouge out your eyeballs!"
As soon as these words came out, even Leng Dong and the boss's attention were attracted to the past, and the boss casually picked up a wooden stick from the ground, smashed it on the iron cage, and shouted at the lion-headed human beast: "Shut up, who allowed you to speak! If you scare away my guests, you won't eat tonight!"
As soon as it heard that it was not allowed to eat, the lion-headed human beast instantly became honest, obviously it hadn't eaten for a while before this.
