After the Fairy Disappeared Chapter 344

  Chapter 344 Zhu Erniang's net worth

  People set up a bonfire and roasted meat, and the land of the Jiana people once again gained popularity.

  At this time, Dong Rui came out from the magic nest, followed the sound with his messy hair, sat by the fire and rubbed his hands.

  He put on the grass mask again, and his face did not scare others, but Tu Zhongli still saw that there was someone more by the fire, and frowned and asked, "Which one is this?"

  He Lingchuan thought you were impatient, this is not your place: "The pharmacist who was washed into the swamp with me, Zhu Erniang asked him to make some medicine."

"Where do you come from?"

   "Kite Country."

  Tu Zhongli was surprised: "So far?"

   One of his subordinates was sitting close to him, and at this moment, he ate fish and smiled and said, "I heard that people in Yuan Country are almost starving for food, is it true?"

  He Lingchuan squinted at the past: "Where did you hear that?"

   "Ah, my relative lives in Xunzhou. He said that people are starving to death and the royal court is desperately raising taxes. He can't wait to dig the ground three feet to search for copper coins. There is no way, the Xunzhou pastor is reversed."

  He Lingchuan said coldly: "It's not such a simple reason that the shepherd of Xunzhou is rebellious."

   "Oh?" Everyone was interested, and Tu Zhongli took a sip of wine, "Tell us about it."

   "Where are you from?"

   "Xing Guo."

  He Lingchuan calculated in his heart that Xing Country is a small country that flows through the lower reaches of the Han River, and its territory is less than one-tenth of the size of Yuan Country. The point is, it is east of the Demon's Nest Swamp, at least hundreds of miles away from the border of the Kite Kingdom.

  I heard that the road is so steep that it is too difficult to go back the same way.

   Tu Zhongli and others urged, He Lingchuan also picked up some current affairs in China.

   To the Xing people, this is all first-hand news, which sounds fresh and exciting. Tu Zhongli clicked his tongue and said, "Sounds like a good time to make contributions."

   While observing, He Lingchuan found that these business travelers were actually divided into two distinct factions. One group, headed by Tu Zhongli, ate meat, drank wine, talked and laughed freely; the other group sat silently by the fire, seldom eating, and their eyes wandered as if they didn't dare to meet people.

   Among the latter kind of people, there is Zhao Guanshi.

  At this time, a snack was handed up, which was grubs dug out of rotten wood by hospitable spiders.

   This kind of fat and white bug is a pure natural green food. Throw it into your mouth and knock it with your upper and lower teeth, and it will explode in one bite. It is extremely nutritious and is a gift sought after by those who survive in the wilderness.

   These grubs are still twisting their bodies in the round leaves to show that they are very fresh. He Lingchuan and Dong Rui lived here for more than half a month, and they had already gotten used to it, but Manager Zhao looked ashen and waved his hand away.

  Tu Zhongli and the others picked it up and ate it, one bite at a time, and praised the taste.

  He Lingchuan looked at this scene thoughtfully.

  Dong Rui sat by the fire and yawned, and grabbed a few grubs to eat. He Lingchuan leaned over and asked him, "What's the progress?"

   "Is there any progress, but the toxin on Zhu Erniang's body is found to be useful..." Dong Rui lowered his voice, "Are these bandits on the same side as Zhu Erniang?"

  He Lingchuan turned his gaze: "Can you tell that they are bandits?"

   "The bandits and bandits I have dealt with in my life, there are eight thousand if not ten thousand. These people have a smell on them, and you can smell it when you smell it."

   That's right, this fellow has an unusual status. Apart from a scientific research madman, he is also a wanted criminal who has been on the run for many years. I don't know how many low-level people he has dealt with.

   At this time, Manager Zhao got up clutching his stomach, and went to the depths of the grass for a while. Some of the food tonight was burnt, some were raw, some were undercooked, and his stomach couldn't stand it.

  He Lingchuan said: "Wait for me to verify it." As he spoke, he patted his buttocks, stood up, and followed.

   Manager Zhao had just found a place, it was dark near the water, he was about to unbutton his pants and squat down, but he heard He Lingchuan behind him say: "It's not good here, there are many crocodiles by the water, be careful that half of your **** is taken away."

   Manager Zhao was taken aback, oh oh twice, and changed to another place.

   Seeing that He Lingchuan was still following, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, Mr. He?"

  Before He Lingchuan could answer, Tu Zhongli's subordinates had followed him and asked, "What are you doing?"

   "Squatting in the pit." He Lingchuan quickly answered, "There is still a place here, do you want it?"

   "Squatting in the pit is also necessary, aren't you afraid of the smell?"

  He Lingchuan pointed to him: "There is a nest of fire ants over there, do you dare to squat?"

  The man hurried out of the way.

  He Lingchuan wandered elsewhere before going back to look at the big carts.

  There are a large number of fluorescent spores lighting, and the entire open space is as bright as day. The spiders are taking things out of the magic nest one by one and putting them on the cart.

  The caravan sends salty clay and groceries here, and of course they have to be full of special products from the Demon's Nest Swamp on the return journey, and sell them at a high price.

  The goods are not empty.

  He Lingchuan felt dazzled when he saw the special products brought out by the crypt spider.

  First of all, the spider silks one after another are hard currency popular outside.

There are three or four types of silk produced by the Crypt Spider Demon. The most common ones are surprisingly viscous. They are used to make traps or catch fish, and they are many times better than ordinary nets. Higher-end ones are less viscous but elastic. , Good toughness, making gloves, soft armor, light and strong, water and fire are not invaded.

  Of course, the least amount of high-end goods can be used to refine magic weapons. In particular, the brocade that Zhu Erniang wove by herself could not be blown away by a powerful fire bomb. He Lingchuan tried it himself.

  The spiders also brought out various dried herbs and dried insects. The swamp without human beings involved is a natural treasure house. The medicinal materials are old and effective. Even the egg shells of aphid cows are also medicinal materials after drying. Women use them after giving birth to promote milk production.

  The creeps in the devil's nest are also accompanied by various fungi, among which is the magic mushroom, which has always been the key acquisition target of Tu Zhongli's uncle.

  This kind of mushroom is slightly toxic, and people will feel like a fairy after eating a few mouthfuls. It is likely to produce various hallucinations, and things that should be seen or should not be seen float in front of their eyes.

  The most important thing is that there are no other side effects, and it is not addictive. At most, you will have diarrhea after cooking a large pot, or you will feel a little dizzy the next day, like a hangover.

   Needless to say, this kind of thing is very popular outside, and both humans and monsters are willing to spend money to enjoy it.

  He Lingchuan didn't expect that even fluorescent spores could be sold.

   This round spore looks only a little smaller than a steamed bun, but after dehydration, it will shrink to one-third of its original size, and it will not emit light, which is very convenient for transportation.

  After soaking in water, it will swell back, and it can continue to glow for about four months without the creep.

   This is much better than candles, oil lamps, and as a steady cool white light, it's a great light source for uninterrupted lighting at night.

  People will definitely like it, it depends on how the caravan will price it back.

  In less than an hour, forty carts were fully loaded.

  He Lingchuan also understood when he saw this: Zhu Erniang's net worth is really unique in the Demon's Nest Swamp!

  It is so conscientious in its business, it makes other wild indigenous monsters in the swamp look like they have settled down, no wonder they are jealous. It's like you are a poor man in the village, and you can't afford to eat the last meal, but the rich family in the village eats fish and meat every day, and the oily smell wafts to your house, so I ask you if you can think differently?

  He Lingchuan knows without having to settle accounts, Tu Zhongli has made a lot of money.

   Of course, the premise is that he is really a businessman.

  Dong Rui came over from behind and clicked his tongue: "Clay is exchanged for special products, this caravan really knows how to do business."

  He Lingchuan smiled and said: "Where is the caravan?" They all believed that this guy was a bandit, and the owner of the caravan, Tu Zhongli's "uncle", was afraid that something bad happened.

   Watching the spider walking away, Dong Rui lowered his voice: "What are you going to do, which side do you want to help?"

  The bandits pretended to be caravans and went into the swamp, looking for burrow spiders to continue trading, just to earn some money for the goods? Even if you think about it with the head of No. 34, you know it's impossible.

   When the time limit is up, he can't produce the potion Zhu Erniang asked for, and he will probably die. In the past few days, his own research direction has made new progress, and Dong Rui's mind has also cleared up, and he began to plan for the future.

  He Lingchuan smiled: "What about you?"

   "These bandits may not have any tokens in their hands, so they can leave the swamp."

   "You have to think about why they came in?" He Lingchuan said, "Is it because they want to take advantage of a big monster like Zhu Erniang?"

  This is still the territory of the crypt spider, so it is not so easy to take advantage of Zhu Erniang. Besides, they just talked with everyone, and they also know that the reputation of the Devil's Nest Swamp is not very good outside. It is not much worse than the Longtan and Tiger's Den. People who stray into it almost never go out, so it is also called "The Devil's Lair".

  These bandits dare to come in to plot against local snakes, they must be out of their minds, right?

   "They should have figured out a way."

   Before the two had exchanged a few words, Tu Zhongli's men left the bonfire and walked towards them. He Lingchuan had just heard Tu Zhongli call him yellow hair, probably because his hair was thin and yellowish.

  Huang Mao stood beside the two of them: "Boss asked me to ask you, do you want to leave the swamp with us?"

   Throw bait to stand in line as soon as they come?

  Dong Rui said: "Yes."

   "Then obediently stay by the fire, don't make a sound and don't cause trouble." Tu Zhongli also heard that He Lingchuan intended to approach Guanshi Zhao.

  In their original plan, there would suddenly be two more living people in the lair that did not include the burrow spider, and they didn't seem to be simple and honest.

  At this juncture, they don't like variables.

  He Lingchuan asked: "Then when can I leave?"

   "Soon, uh, it should be tomorrow morning." Huangmao pointed to the campfire, "Go and sit down."

  He Lingchuan glanced at him, then suddenly pointed to the bamboo tube on his waist and said, "I seem to have seen this kind of blowing arrow somewhere."

   Half arm length, colorful bamboo, tied with small strands of hemp rope.

  By the way, some of the water corpses that floated into the swamp a few days ago were wearing this kind of blowgun.

   Huang Mao's face changed.

   At this time, a spider guard rushed over and said to Dong Rui: "You have been out for too long, the ancestors called you to return to the nest to work!"

   Apparently Zhu Erniang was also worried that these cunning humans would gather together and Dong Rui could take advantage of it.

  As for He Lingchuan, the idler who eats dry food, he doesn't care too much.
