Chapter 627: Hunting the Swamp
Lei Zhang deliberately ran to find out, and came back to tell Ding Kui: "It's not that there are any more specialties in Giant Sheep City, but there are more magic guilds, and the security here has been improved by several grades." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since Juyangcheng is not far from Cao, Meng and its own country, there are mature routes to connect, although large ships cannot be docked, there are medium-sized transport ships that can carry valuable goods.
In the past, when there was no magic guild, the security environment of Giant Sheep City was not very good, but now there are not only magic guilds but also communication arrays, and the security level has been greatly improved. ”
"So these chambers of commerce are here to explore the path, to prepare for the opening of new business routes. Ding Kui understood.
"Just now, the deacon of the Lu Chamber of Commerce wanted to come and visit you, please ask your subordinates what you mean. Lei Zhang said again.
"How does he know who I am?" Ding Kui was even more strange.
"This subordinate doesn't know. ”
"Let him come. Ding Kui was a little curious.
A shrewd and capable middle-aged man walked over.
"The villain Lu Ji visited Lord Ding. ”
"No courtesy. How do you know who I am?" Ding Kui asked condescendingly, sitting on his horse.
"You are the highest-level VIP of the Chamber of Commerce in the Shaodian Country, and the year before last, the General Assembly specially issued an order that everyone above the deacon level of the Shaodian Kingdom should recognize your portrait, and whoever has seen you and failed to recognize it will be severely punished. Lu Ji bowed and replied.
"The year before last, there was still this kind of thing? Well, okay, what are you looking for me?" Ding Kui probably knew what was going on.
"If you go back to your lordship, the Lu Chamber of Commerce will soon establish a branch in Juyang City, you can find a villain if you want to buy things or use money, and the villain may be the shopkeeper here. ”
Oh, the one who came to pull the turnover, this man is very lively, and he is a piece of business material.
"Well, by the way, can you bring a letter or something?" asked Ding Kui.
"Okay, if you want to bring something back or let it be delivered to your family, the Lu Chamber of Commerce guarantees that it will be delivered to you safely. Lu Ji was bent on stammering Ding Kui, and by the way, he inquired about the safety prospects of Juyang City from the side.
"Not only my things but also my subordinates, they have been away from their hometown for more than a year, and they don't let you take them with you, and they can pay you for the freight. "Ding Kui does not forget his subordinates.
Lei Zhang, Lei De, Lao Wangjue, Ma Duping and Ba Xi, who were following behind Ding Kui, all showed joy on their faces. They have been away from home for more than a year, and they have no chance to contact their families, and most of them miss their homeland very much.
The spy department helped Ding Kui deliver letters and deliver news on official business, anyway, everyone thinks so since he was a young man, so only Ding Kui can enjoy such treatment, and the rest of the 201st Division is not so lucky.
Now the emergence of the Lu Chamber of Commerce has given everyone hope, and everyone is willing to spend some money to contact their families, and the network of the Lu Chamber of Commerce can meet the needs of almost everyone.
"It is the honor of the Lu Chamber of Commerce to be able to run errands for the soldiers who defend the country, how dare the villain collect money, as long as it is the little one asked by Lord Ding, it will be delivered for free. Lu Ji slapped his chest.
"No, no, the money still has to be collected, I don't owe you this favor, and my subordinates won't owe you. They have other things to send home besides family letters, and they can fit a few big carts together, and the cost of transporting them from here to Pingzhong County is not a small amount, and this money is mine, and it is not in vain that they will contribute to me. Ding Kui doesn't want to owe favors, and would rather spend more money.
"Uh, okay, but if the adults have any requirements, the villains will try their best to do it, just hope that the adults can take care of the Lu Chamber of Commerce when they have a business. ”
The middle and low-level deacons of the Lu Chamber of Commerce are very envious and jealous of Lu Hao, and after making a few big deals with Ding Kui, Lu Hao was promoted quickly, and if he had the opportunity to go online with Ding Kui, it was possible to copy Lu Hao's miracle.
The entire First Brigade was excited, including those recruits who joined later, and the network of the Lu Chamber of Commerce was continent-wide and could satisfy almost everyone.
Write a letter to the family, send back some valuable loot, and some ashes of the fallen soldiers.
All these can lighten the physical and psychological burdens of the officers and soldiers, greatly boost their morale, and serve Ding Kui even more desperately.
The other brigades of the 201st Division could only watch with red eyes, Ding Kui would not overdraw his favor indefinitely, and his service was limited to his 700 subordinates.
A few days after arriving in Giant Sheep City, Ding Kui left the task of inspection to Feng Liang and ran away with Ao Yu himself.
The two of them did not sneak into the Tongyuan River, but ran into the swamp.
"Are you sure the Swamp is not as dangerous as it once was?"
Ding Kui and Ao Yu are flying towards the depths of the swamp.
"Well, the feeling that made my heart palpitate is gone, as long as we don't run into high-level magical beasts in the swamp, there's nothing to threaten us. Ao Yu's self-confidence returned.
Holding the map given to him by Li Tie in his hand, Ding Kui identified the ground objects under his feet.
"This place is about ten miles deep into the swamp, and it is said that there will be demonic beasts in the future, so you can restrain your breath, so as not to scare away those low-level demonic beasts. Ding Kui didn't use his mental power, he only used his own eyesight to observe his feet.
Some low-level demonic beasts have no strength, but they are very sensitive to spiritual power, and Ding Kui's spiritual power is easy to scare this kind of demonic beasts.
In a flash of blue light, Ao Yu's body was covered with a water film, and he covered his arm and reached out to Latin.
"I don't have Longwei, I don't need a water film. Ding Kui wanted to dodge.
"You want to use magic power to fly, right?" Ao Yu still grabbed Ding Kui's arm, "If you don't cover it with a water film, it will scare away low-level demonic beasts, and I don't want to eat animals." ”
"There are water gophers, bone beetles and mud worms here at most, and they don't have anything to eat, so you can spread them out and eat them tomorrow when you go a little deeper." "Ding Kui doesn't have an appetite for these kinds of magical beasts.
"I think it's better than jerky, at least it can replenish my consumption. Ao Yu's eyes lit up.
But at the end of the day, they didn't find a single beast, and settled on a dirt ground with a few crooked neck trees before dark.
Ding Kui lit the fire and built it with branches he had picked up during the day.
"It's strange, no one has been to this place for at least two or three years, there are a lot of birds and beasts, why can't you see a single demonic beast?" Ding Kui wondered.
He didn't choose to come to the swamp to eat the Demon Beast, he obviously came for the Demon Core, although the low-level Demon Core was not very valuable, but it was a large quantity, and now he couldn't see any of them, which made him very disappointed.
"It's not surprising, I smell the smell of mid-level demonic beasts. Ao Yu was calm, and his eyes no longer lit up.
"Intermediate Demonic Beasts, what's it?" Ding Kui became vigilant.
"I'm not sure, it's a big snake. Ao Yu stretched out his finger and tapped the tip of his chin, this action was learned from Ding Kui.
"Big snake, could it be the 'Earth Turning Dragon'?" Ding Kui was searching for memory information.
The earth-turning dragon is not a dragon, it is a kind of python, a fourth-level magical beast that lives in the swamp, but this kind of demonic beast has a rare lifespan, and can generally live for hundreds of years, and the legendary earth-turning dragon king has a lifespan of thousands of years.
Due to its long lifespan, the Earth Turning Dragon can be promoted from a fourth-level Warcraft to a high-level Warcraft, and the Earth-Turning Dragon King is said to have a seventh-level strength, which is a kind of Warcraft with a relatively large strength span.
There are also several species of pythons in the swamp, but the most famous one is the Ground Turning Dragon.
"Oh, that kind of big snake is also worthy of being called a dragon!" Ao Yu was very dissatisfied.
"Hehe, that's the customary name of human beings, your dragon clan is too mysterious, ordinary people can't see it, and the python and Jiao that resemble dragons are called Jackie Chan because humans like dragons. However, this earth-turning dragon does have a huge size, more than ten or twenty meters is common, some people have seen dozens of meters long, and the legendary earth-turning dragon king is more than 100 meters long. ”
Ding Kui was fortunate enough to look through the Nanqiu County Chronicles and learn about the common magical beasts in the swamp.
"This one is not small, it should be more than twenty meters. ”
Ao Yu's words made Ding Kui stunned.
"More than twenty meters? It has to be at the beginning of the fifth level, how can you run to the outskirts of the swamp?"
Now Ding Kui is no longer afraid of fifth-level demonic beasts, thinking that a star-picking falcon can force him to hide in the water for a long time, and then he may not be able to beat the star-picking falcon, but he must not be as embarrassed as before.
However, he still stretched out his spiritual power and carefully searched the surroundings of the mud ground, it was not a fun thing to be sneak attacked by a fifth-level demonic beast.
"Hmph, I'm there for it to dare not come near. "Ao Yu can sense Ding Kui's spiritual power.
"Did you find it?"
"No, but there's a remnant of it nearby, and I can smell it from afar. ”
"Shouldn't this earth-turning dragon finish eating the low-level demonic beasts nearby, right? Nima, it can digest low-level demonic cores to promote its own growth, my demonic core, it's going to be all in vain now. Ding Kui remembered a characteristic of the Earth Turning Dragon.
"Hehe, then its flesh and blood will contain a lot of magic power, and eating one is equivalent to eating many low-level magical beasts. "Ao Yu's desire for the demon core is not high.
"Well, let me sort it out, this earth-turning dragon is estimated to have just been promoted, and the habitat before it didn't have enough low-level demonic beasts for it to advance, so it was attracted by the low-level demonic beasts here.
It eats all the low-level monsters when it comes here, and then it may be on the way back to its habitat, just promoted and eaten a lot, its movement speed must be very slow, and we should be able to find it tomorrow when we walk inside. ”
Ding Kui's eating python meat is a bit helpful for his cultivation, and being able to harvest a fifth-level demon core is better than returning empty-handed, and he decided to capture this earth-turning dragon.
"It's not easy to catch this big snake, it can go to the very deep underground, and you and I can't go down. ”
The Earth Turning Dragon belongs to the earth type of magical beasts, and you can know how good it is at operating underground when you hear its name, Ding Kui and Ao Yu just can't drill into the ground, and there is no way to deal with a Earth Turning Dragon hiding underground.
"If we can't get down, we will draw it out, as long as we drag it to the sky or water, it won't be able to escape, and now we can't deal with the fifth-level demonic beast. Ding Kui pinched his chin.
Ao Yu began to sympathize with the earth-turning dragon, but Ding Kui remembered that he basically didn't run, and the final outcome could only fall into his belly to help him enhance his strength.
