Chapter 576: Market shopping?
There are dozens of ancient battlefields within the Death Canyon, and the scope of those ancient battlefields is generally thousands of square kilometers. The land there is integrated with countless corpses and soul residues. Those places are also the places where the breath of death is relatively concentrated in the burial ground.
Combined with the large-scale special magic array arranged under the natural environment, those ancient battlefields are places where the undead are nurtured. From time to time, new skeletons of the undead will drill out from the ground. Whenever the wind of aging blows, those places are the time of the skeletons of the undead.
However, according to Mu Hua’s understanding from Zambak, there is nothing in the Kanins Courtyard that can catalyze the wind of aging.
This also makes the efficiency of the natural birth of skeletons in the Death Canyon very low. Even in the ancient battlefield, magic arrays need to be arranged to ensure the continuous appearance of new undead.
Therefore, the Death Canyon can only be regarded as an undead area deliberately created by the Kanins Courtyard. If there is no wind of aging, no matter how strong the undead here are, this courtyard will hardly become a true undead courtyard.
The cloak covering his entire body concealed his figure, and the deathly aura enveloped his body. Because under the cloak, he clearly dragged a tail with protruding bone spurs. In the eyes of the undead, Mu Hua, who was walking in the Death Canyon, looked like a demon who had transformed himself into a lich.
Demons, ghosts, and skeletons of the undead were coming in and out of the city, and there were even patrols in the city to maintain law and order. This was not the castle of Zambak, but the normal situation when Mu Hua passed through several cities in the Death Canyon.
Mu Hua had not been to the Death Canyon for a long time. In the absence of human adventurers, the atmosphere in the Death Canyon was unexpectedly more harmonious than in other areas.
The plants in the burial ground were much sparser than in the normal environment, but most of the plants here could cope with the harsh living environment, and their natural lifespan was generally longer.
There was no conflict with the monsters, and Mu Hua collected some plant essences here quite steadily.
As for the gathering places of the undead that he occasionally encountered, because they were too harmonious and too lively, Mu Hua basically couldn't cause trouble in those places without making too much noise.
Just like now, Mu Hua followed a sparse cypress forest and got into the ancient battlefield. He actually saw the undead market in the ancient battlefield.
Yes, that's right, it's a market, an open-air market for buying and selling various materials. Demons, liches, skeletons, and even ghosts will buy and sell things related to the undead here.
A free market led by liches who obey the Lord of the Courtyard but do not accept the rule of Krepnos.
It can be regarded as a black market in the monster social system. It is estimated that the operators here are also related to some demon generals under Krepnos, and Krepnos may also acquiesce.
Never mind humans, demons, even liches, operating forces, there will inevitably be some noise. As for what "the water is too clear to have fish" means, it depends on your personal understanding.
But without these noises, the so-called forces would certainly be dead and lifeless.
After all, this kind of noise can be regarded as a bottom line and choice. If everyone can still be excited and passionate without these things, then they are either acting or crazy. . .
Not to mention, the undead forces here are really a bit tolerant and generous. The breath of death is the identity certificate. As long as they have the breath of death, Mu Hua, who hides his head and shows his tail, will have a smooth journey without any questioning.
The market belongs to black magic. From potion materials, ashes, and souls to inheritance crystals, corpse demons, and bone puppets, the transactions here are basically related to black magic.
Mu Hua has a skill stone, but that thing is not an inheritance crystal, and here it is basically barter. If you use demon gold coins, it will be several times or even dozens of times higher than the regular price, which makes Mu Hua lose interest in spending here.
"Are these the seeds of the soul-gathering flower? How much do you sell them for?" Mu Hua stopped in front of a street stall guarded by a skeleton general.
"Five parts of ashes or ten parts of soul dust per seed." The skeleton general squatting behind the stall as a vendor had difficulty speaking, but he saw him pull out a ghost from his ribs, and the ghost gave Mu Hua a price quote.
And Mu Hua was somewhat surprised by the operation of the skeleton general. The wild skeleton undead here are quite spiritual.
"Each? You might as well go and rob them. How much are all of these?" Mu Hua pretended to have a hoarse and gloomy voice, pointing to the bone tube containing the seeds of the soul-gathering flower on the stall and asked.
Skeleton undead generally do not fake, but ghosts are not so easy to say.
The container is made of half of the leg bone of a beast. Because the seeds of the soul-gathering flower are small, if there is no adulteration, there should be hundreds of seeds in the bone tube that is half the length of an adult's forearm.
The seeds of the soul-sending flower can be regarded as a medium for the vine man technique. It has a strong killing power against undead creatures and can be said to be a sure-kill for low- and medium-level skeleton undead.
However, the premise of controllability is to master the vine man technique, which greatly reduces its price in the undead market. The offer of the ghost in front of him is somewhat inflated.
"Take it all, 800 life bases." Seeing that Mu Hua seemed to be going to buy goods, the ghost didn't need to speak this time, and the skeleton general said in a hoarse voice.
It's a bit expensive, but after conversion, it can barely be regarded as the market price.
Soul-sending flowers are not easy to grow. Their seeds will be blown away by the wind when they mature, and they will touch the spirits and take root, which is quite dangerous. Mu Hua recently arranged a flower garden with a barrier in the Ash Fortress and let Lin try to cultivate it.
As a result, because the time for the seeds to mature was not calculated accurately, the flower garden became more lush, and the seeds have not been harvested yet.
It is quite strange that the skeleton undead can get the seeds of the soul-sending flower. I don’t know whether it is exchanged from somewhere else or dropped by killing people. Although it cannot be said that there is a demand, Mu Hua really wants to buy these.
Although he wants it, Mu Hua does not want to exchange it with ashes. He is still thinking about taking time to go to the undead courtyard to collect some ashes. He doesn’t have enough for himself.
“Use this, exchange it?” Mu Hua took out a palm-sized leaf.
“Exchange!” The ghost with the skeleton general made a quick decision and wanted to pounce on the leaf.
“No exchange!” The ghost was pulled away by the skeleton general, and the skeleton general refused to exchange.
Leaves, leaves of the spirit tree. In addition to the world tree, Mu Hua’s family also planted the spirit tree. Although the main value of the spirit tree is to build the magic network, its leaves are of great value to the ghosts. The most intuitive thing is that it can improve their energy consumption when they are attached to the corpse demon.
"Haha~, leaves of the spirit tree? Master, do you want dragon teeth?" The skeleton general refused, and a two-headed ogre holding a giant tooth that Mu Hua could hug appeared on the side of the road.
The ogre with a shriveled head and abdominal muscles was not the body shape of a normal ogre at all. This was an ogre who transformed himself into a lich.
The ogre's brain was not working well, but he could become a lich. Compared with the dragon teeth in his hand, Mu Hua looked at this two-headed ogre a few more times.
"Dragon teeth?" Mu Hua asked after glancing at the giant teeth in the lich's hand.
"Yes, dragon teeth." The lich confirmed.
"Dragon teeth?" Mu Hua asked again in a cold voice.
"Well, the dragon teeth of the demon dragon." The lich said affirmatively.
"Get lost!" Even if it was a dragon tooth, it was a dragon tooth that fell off naturally. It was difficult to make an origin bullet with this thing, and Mu Hua shouted in disgust.
Seeing Mu Hua's rudeness, the big lich glared at Mu Hua sinisterly. I don't know if it was because he was afraid of the rules of the market here, but he didn't continue to tangle with Mu Hua, which seemed to be more harmonious than some unscrupulous human vendors.
"The soul-hosting flower is not easy to sell. This one has a better market here. Are you sure you don't want to exchange it?" After driving away the lich and ignoring the ogre lich who was staring at him not far away, Mu Hua shook the leaves in his hand again and asked the skeleton general.
"Three pieces." After a short silence, the skeleton general said rigidly.
"He..." Mu Hua sneered and put away the leaves. The leaves of the spirit tree are at least something that can be sold at a price. Three pieces are impossible.
Seeing that Mu Hua had no interest in trading, the skeleton general didn't care, but the ghost beside him was a little annoyed and dissatisfied.
However, Mu Hua, who put away the leaves, did not leave, but picked up the bone tube containing the soul-hosting flower seeds again.
"If you don't want it, don't touch it." The ghost's heart was filled with hope again, and the skeleton general said dissatisfiedly.
"Hehe..." Mu Hua closed the lid of the bone tube with a strange laugh, and then touched the stall again, grabbing some miscellaneous things.
"Huh?" The skeleton general was stunned, but in this short daze, Mu Hua's body showed abnormalities.
"Boom~!" The flame nova exploded with Mu Hua as the center.
"Boom~!" The Hades wavered, and the bone-scraping death energy followed the flames.
'Fuck! ' The ogre lich, who was not far from Mu Hua, was twisted into burning pieces by the raging magic before he could curse.
Flashing, flying into the air, and throwing a karma purgatory towards the open-air market, Yuehua stepped into the air, and Mu Hua picked up the things he had touched from the skeleton general's stall and ran away violently.
Heh, three leaves? I told you nicely, but you didn't listen, right?
Brother, I'm a human adventurer. Do you really think I'm here to buy goods?
"Boom! Boom! Boom!~~~" Dozens of explosive meteorites with shattering fire bombed the market in disorder, without any control. Whoever was bombed would be unlucky.
When the meteorites exploded, Mu Hua had already run away and disappeared.
Revenge, this is definitely just a very simple revenge. After all, Xueling Ranch also bombed him a lot.
This life really needs adjustment. When escaping, Yuehua stepped like a cruise missile. Mu Hua was so happy. . . (End of this chapter)
