Chapter 20: The Spoils of War (I)
However, considering that this place was only a few dozen miles away from Lianjiabao, and after all, there were so many masters in Lianjiabao, Ye Quan felt that everything was safe, so he suppressed his curiosity and continued to travel east with the package.
After running for a day, after being thousands of miles away from Lianjiabao, Ye Quan breathed a sigh of relief and stopped his trip and rested in a hidden cave in a barren mountain.
What Ye Quan didn't know was that it was a change in his mind that allowed him to escape death and avoid a catastrophe.
In less than an hour after he left, the two elders of Lianjiabao took seven or eight inner disciples to the location where Ye Quan was attacked, which was also the place where Rui Gongzi, an inner disciple of Lianjiabao, disappeared.
The two elders were a man and a woman, the male had an ugly face, born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and looked like he was forty or fifty years old, while the female was beautiful and a young woman in her thirties, both wearing the same standard red robes.
The back of the red robe shows an unknown hideous insect pattern, and the left chest in front is a silver scorpion pattern.
As for the other inner disciples, they were dressed in gray shirts, with a black scorpion pattern on their chests, which was no different from what Rui Gongzi was wearing.
When the two elders arrived here, they saw the motionless bloodworm, and their faces were suddenly not very good-looking, only to see that one of the male elders took a palm-sized animal skin bag from his waist, chanted a spell in his mouth, and immediately took the bloodworm in.
As for Zhou Ninghai's death, they didn't pay much attention to it, but the life and death of the miscellaneous servants didn't care much.
The other inner disciples were ordered by the elders to carefully inspect the vicinity, and then a man and a woman, who seemed to be the leaders of the inner disciples, reported to the two elders and handed them a rag.
If Ye Quan saw this broken step, he would probably be able to recognize that it was a small piece torn off the hem of his shirt.
The male elder took the rag and snorted coldly, then handed the broken steps to the female elder beside him, and said in a light tone: "This is the trouble for the spirit worm of Liuniang to help." ”
"Well, this matter is related to the reputation of my family fort, if I really let the murderer escape, the face of the concubine will not look good. The female elder's tone was light, although the words were nice, but the tone was reluctant.
However, she did not delay, took out the beast bag, and released a spirit insect in the shape of a blue butterfly, only to see the spirit insect fly twice on the rag. It flew up again and flew in one direction.
When everyone saw it, they were all overjoyed.
The two elders hurriedly led everyone to chase all the way.
After chasing for two hundred miles, the butterfly-like spirit worm still lost its target, and began to spin at a distance of two hundred miles.
After all, although this spirit insect belongs to the tracking class of strange insects, the potential is huge, but the level is not very high, and the sensing ability is still effective within a hundred miles of the target, but once the target is far away or for a long time, it will be powerless.
A group of people, especially the beautiful young woman, whose face was particularly pale, did not catch up, and also let their spirit insects lose a lot, their mood can be imagined.
After a long time, everyone saw that there was really no way, so they could only go home depressed and make plans again.
......
And Ye Quan, who had come thousands of miles away, was very excited at this time.
An inconspicuous barren mountain, in a very small cave, Ye Quan blocked part of the entrance of the cave with grass, and then put the package behind him on a slightly flat ground.
He then opened the package and began to count the harvest.
He picked up the black knife inside, which had no weight in his hand, and felt like it was like wood.
Ye Quan waved twice casually and slashed towards a stone beside him.
With a "click", the stone the size of a human head broke in half, and the cut was smooth.
After Ye Quan was surprised, he was overjoyed, he liked this short knife, it was so sharp. I don't think it's made of ordinary steel, but just for self-defense. He waved it twice more and set it aside.
Then he picked up two more silk pouches, which were filled with glittering milky stones.
What is it if it is not a spirit stone?
Although Ye Quan had already predicted it, once he really went from a poor bastard who didn't have a single spirit stone to a bunch of spirit stones all of a sudden, that feeling was really intoxicating.
However, he had a calm personality, so he quickly suppressed this restlessness, and counted it, and the spirit stones in the two small bags added up to two hundred and sixty-six pieces.
Two hundred and sixty-six is not a small number!
Ye Quan was excited, and he had already begun to fantasize about the scene where he exchanged spirit stones for a bunch of things he wanted, and a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
First the short knife, then the spirit stone, and then what?
Ye Quan looked at it again, a shell tightly wrapped in a piece of skin, there seemed to be a picture drawn on the shell, but the picture was very exquisite, resulting in Ye Quan's eyesight not being able to see clearly, but in one of the corners, the pattern of a strange scorpion appeared more clearly.
Seeing this scorpion pattern, Ye Quan's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he secretly felt familiar, and he remembered in an instant, isn't this scorpion pattern the pattern on the clothes worn by Na Rui Gongzi?
Could it be that the picture on this shell has any connection with Lianjiabao?
Ye Quan remembered that this shell seemed to be found from Zhou Ninghai's body, could it be that Zhou Ninghai went to Lianjiabao to work as a handyman to raise spirit insects for the pattern on this shell?
Ye Quan had a thoughtful look on his face, but then he smiled self-deprecatingly and muttered, "Hehe, it's too late for me to hide from Lianjiabao now, but I don't want to have anything to do with Lianjiabao's affairs." Ye Quan shook his head, put down the shell directly, and continued to look through other objects.
A jade locket was fiddled with by Ye Quan in his hand, but it was also stained with a little blood, which was stained by the Wolf Dao man after his fall. When I opened the lid, I found that it was an insect egg, and looking at the faint vitality on it, it didn't seem to be dead.
Flip through the box and set aside. Ye Quan has no interest in raising insects at the moment, and he has been serving the spirit insects for a month, of course he knows that this thing is too troublesome to raise, and he has no conditions at the moment, let alone raising, this demon insect spirit worm, different types, breeding methods are generally different, and some are even far from each other, without any relevance.
The price of the breeding method depends on the level and type of spirit worm, but even the most common breeding method is expensive.
Therefore, Ye Quan felt that the insect eggs should still find a chance to find someone who knows what kind of demon insect eggs they are, if they are good things in the future, if they are ordinary demon insect eggs, then sell them, which can be regarded as an increase in income.
All that's left is a few pieces of gold and silver, and a map of the Morning Mist Country, plus a booklet.
Seeing this booklet, Ye Quan's face became a little exciting for a while.
couldn't help but be speechless: "This can all be put together!"
