Volume 3 The Battle of the Sea Clan Chapter 391 Antidote
The middle-aged man at the head seemed to be silent on the surface, but it could be seen from the look in his eyes that he seemed to enjoy the fearful and angry gaze of these miners, so he deliberately walked very slowly.
Everywhere he passed, whether it was those with small and medium-sized potentials, or those with two powerful forces in the middle, they all silently took a few steps back and made a way.
After a few moments, a group of guards finally reached the clearing of the central square, and stopped in front of a stone platform about a foot high.
The middle-aged man at the head did not speak immediately, but looked around.
After seeing a hint of anticipation finally appear in the eyes of the surrounding miners, he nodded with satisfaction and announced loudly with a light cough:
"I, Chen Gang, hehe, I don't think I need to be introduced, nine times out of ten, you all know me. The rules are basically the same as in the past, except that the exchange conditions have changed slightly from this month, and thirty-five rare ores can be exchanged for a Sea Emperor Pill antidote. ”
As soon as his voice fell, the audience was in an uproar.
"Last month, it was still thirty pieces of ore for one, why did you suddenly raise the price without being informed in advance?" I don't know who started shouting.
As soon as they heard this, the crowd at the scene became even more agitated, and many mine slaves whispered for a while, all with different expressions.
Liu Ming glanced at it quietly, and found that most of the shouters were people with small and medium-sized powers, while the miners who belonged to the two powerful forces were silent, and they seemed to be no stranger to this scene.
"Yes, now the peripheral ore veins have long been depleted, and some ore-rich places have mostly been occupied, and the amount of ore mined is not as good as before. ”
"And that's not all. In recent months, the beasts seem to have gone a little crazy. Haunting is becoming more and more frequent......"
Some of the other miners were in a hurry, but there were still people shouting.
Chen Gang, who was standing in front of the stone platform, saw this. His face sank, and he suddenly said coldly and loudly:
"Silence! Are the rules of this place up to what you can say? Those who don't want to exchange for the antidote should leave as soon as possible! But anyone who doesn't follow the rules, don't blame Chen for being polite. ”
This voice resounded throughout the audience, and the mine slave who was originally shouting was startled, and suddenly fell silent, and the huge cave instantly fell silent.
Seeing this, Chen Gang's expression eased slightly, and he continued:
"Remind you, I see the ore to give the antidote. You can also collect it for others, but the antidote can only be stored for seven days, so don't think about saving it for the next poison attack. If you don't have enough ore, don't be bored at all. Of course, if you have surplus ore, you can also exchange it for some pill talismans and other things here. Okay, this exchange has begun. ”
After the middle-aged demon clan guard finished speaking, he took a step back, put his hands behind his back, and stopped talking.
The following time. A few demon guards stepped forward, took out a few storage talismans, and released a large number of spirit stones and talisman pills and other things on the stone platform, and then motioned for everyone in the audience to come forward to exchange them.
The most of them. It is still hundreds of emerald vials that look the same, which is obviously the so-called Sea Emperor Pill antidote.
At first, there was silence in the cave. The many small and medium-sized miners were silent one by one, just looking at the two groups of people occupying the east and west ends of the center of the square.
And these mine guards are not surprised. Just stood near the stone platform and sneered, without the slightest intention of urging.
But after a few moments. It was only then that the woman of the Golden Scale Clan named "Chun Ming" took the lead in being surrounded by two people from the Sea Clan, representing her strength in exchange for a large bag of antidote and some elixir talismans, and the old man of the Demon Clan of the "Iron Alliance" then stepped forward to exchange it on behalf of the people of the Iron Alliance.
In an instant, the antidote and other materials on the stone platform were reduced by a small half.
After receiving the antidote for the month, the two powerful people left the two passages next to the cave like a gust of wind, presumably wanting to take the antidote immediately so that they could return to the depths of the vein as soon as possible.
The large area left behind by the two powerful forces was immediately occupied by the other powerful forces, and at this time, the people in the cave were only about two-thirds compared to before.
After that, the rest of the small and medium-sized forces also stepped forward and began to exchange them.
But in front of the stone platform, after one guard took the bag of the exchanger, the other guard would hand the other party a black leather bag containing the antidote.
In addition to the Sea Emperor Pill Antidote, which requires thirty-five pieces of rare ore, the excess ore can also be exchanged for spirit stones at a ratio of one to twenty, while some other low-level talismans and pills all require several ores to be exchanged for one.
Such an exchange ratio, if placed in the outside world, is simply unimaginable, but here, in addition to a few words in their hearts, everyone can only accept it silently.
Therefore, in addition to the previous two powerful forces, the rest of the small and medium-sized potential forces are rarely exchanged for other items, and even if they do, they are only exchanged for some spirit stones.
After all, in the special environment of this place, spirit stones are extremely scarce, and at the moment of life and death, a little more mana can give you a better chance of saving your life.
The exchange has been going on in a rather strange atmosphere.
Although many of the people who stepped forward with small and medium-sized forces looked at the guards, especially the leader named "Chen Gang", their faces were gloomy, but the whole process was quite orderly.
"Boss, there are four of us in total, why did you only exchange three antidotes?" a sudden questioning voice broke the peace in the cave.
The voice came from a young man with purple lips in the corner of the cave, and the leader of the four was a big man with hanging eyebrows, who had just taken a bag of ore but only exchanged it for three antidotes.
"Brother Weng Xian, there is no way to do this, I never expected Chen Gang to raise the price privately. There are still more than 20 ores left here, so you might as well figure it out for yourself. The big man with the eyebrows also had a headache at this, and after throwing a bag to the thin young man, he had an expression that I had done my best and there was no other way.
After seeing the blank expressions on the faces of the other two companions, a look of disappointment flashed on his face, and he immediately picked up the bag without saying much, took out the bone sword and spirit stone on his waist, and began to find some other powerful forces to find a way to make up the ore.
The same scene was played out again and again during this period.
Many small gangs had to give up their weak companions because they couldn't get enough ore.
Some of these people who were given up left in disgrace, and some of them suddenly learned the news, and they were furious and their accomplices took a big shot, and wanted to snatch back an antidote pill, but they were killed by their former companions.
At the scene that happened in front of him, Chen Gang, who was standing behind the stone platform, watched with a smile, completely gloating.
However, some gangs that still have spare strength have begun to take the opportunity to collect companions at the price of ore and expand their strength.
The strange young man who was carrying a huge iron rod on his shoulder used an antidote to collect a Terran companion from the early stage of the Condensation Realm at this time, and then left with the rest of the people through the passage on one side.
Passing by Liu Ming's side, this person also smiled at Liu Ming meaningfully.
......
Liu Ming stood in place and quietly observed the tea kung fu, and when he saw that there were only a third of the people left on the field, he touched his chin, and finally grabbed the huge leather bag nearby and joined it.
While waiting here, he had quietly scanned the ore in the bag with his divine thoughts, and found that with the ore obtained from the five Sea Clansmen before, there were about two hundred pieces in total at this moment, but most of its quality was ordinary and rare ore similar to Shui Xuanshi.
However, this amount can already surprise those guards.
And Chen Gang, when facing Liu Ming, who was personally sent into the mine not long ago, did not blink an eye, and looked like he was ignorant.
Liu Ming immediately exchanged three antidotes with the guards in front of him, and at the same time exchanged the excess ore for some low-level pills and talismans.
The reason why he did this was naturally because he was going to study two more antidote pills.
After Liu Ming finished changing things, he immediately didn't want to stay here, and left the exchange area from the previous passage without saying a word.
On the way back to the depths of the vein, there was nothing wrong all the way.
Two days later,
According to the self-made animal skin map, Liu Ming finally returned to the original abandoned passage again.
After confirming that no one had entered his temporary cave during this period, he patted the leather bag on his waist and released the bone scorpion to guard it again.
He turned around and entered the cave, sat cross-legged, and after taking a pill to restore his mana, he began to meditate and breathe.
An hour later.
Liu Ming woke up from his meditation, and when he took out the leather bag containing the antidote from his waist, he took out an antidote to the Sea Emperor Pill from it.
But the insight medicine is like the Sea Emperor Pill that was swallowed in the giant boat before, inch in size, the whole body is black, the surface exudes a faint brilliance, and there is a faint fragrance coming from it, which makes people feel refreshed when they smell it.
"This is the antidote to the Sea Emperor Pill!, but it can only restrain the toxicity for a month, if you can know its ingredients......" Liu Ming looked at the black pill in his hand and muttered thoughtfully.
Judging from the information obtained so far, after taking this black Sea Emperor Pill antidote, it can temporarily suppress the erosion of the internal organs by the black mist transformed by the Sea Emperor Pill.
When Liu Ming was learning the art of alchemy from Fan Baizi in Xuanjing, he had heard this alchemy master specifically mention his experience about this kind of temporary antidote.
In order to achieve the purpose of controlling the poisoner, there are only two possibilities for such an antidote.
First, although the antidote contains a small amount of symptomatic elixir, it also contains a small amount of the same ingredients as the poison, which not only suppresses the toxic attack, but also buries the opportunity for the next attack.
The second is that this kind of antidote contains not an antidote elixir, but another kind of domineering poison, which is only temporarily suppressed by poison for a period of time. (To be continued......)
