Text Chapter 1817 Niu Youde Comes to Congratulate
Also because the essence tears are not suitable for long-term preservation, almost all forces want to establish a direct supply and demand relationship with the 蜧妖 tribe. It is not impossible to buy from others, but the high price is an inconvenience. Secondly, ordinary people will not keep this thing. Things that can only be preserved for three years are too short for cultivators. If they are not careful, they will be smashed and gone. Therefore, this thing is basically purchased directly from the 蜧妖 tribe.
As the only supplier, the 蜧妖 tribe is naturally more arrogant. Except for the senior officials of the Heavenly Court and some major forces, they really don’t take ordinary people seriously. The market price has become a decoration, only targeting the specific people mentioned above, because the 蜧妖 tribe does not want to cause trouble in the face of these people. As for other people, the 蜧妖 tribe sells when they want to sell, and does not sell when they don’t want to sell. The price fluctuates, which is simply crazy. If the Heavenly Court had not suppressed the entire tribe here and restricted their freedom, it is estimated that their tails would be up to the sky.
Of course, it is precisely because of the chaos that external forces want to establish a stable purchasing relationship with the 蜧妖 tribe. What does it mean to establish a stable purchasing relationship? Naturally, it is necessary to establish good relations with those who have some power and say in the Cicada tribe.
Xu Tangran came here for this purpose, and it was also Yun Zhiqiu's instruction, so Xu Tangran came personally.
For Miao Yi, it is necessary to establish good relations with the Cicada tribe. He may need a lot of Jinglei at any time.
Approaching the planet ahead, the group took out pieces of emerald green leaves one by one and put them in their mouths. Suddenly, a fragrance penetrated into the lungs. This thing is called "Heart Green" and is used to detoxify. In fact, this planet is filled with very strange miasma, and the body protection magic can only resist it for a short time. It won't work for a long time. The miasma here can penetrate the body protection magic. Once infected by the miasma here, the flesh and blood body will be wooded and turned into something similar to a wood carving.
For the 蜧 tribe, they are not afraid of the miasma here. The thicker the miasma, the more they enjoy it. For outsiders, 'Heart Green' is the only antidote. But 'Heart Green' is controlled by the 蜧 tribe and sold by the 蜧 tribe. It is like everyone who comes and goes in the ghost market here has to pay tolls to the 蜧 tribe.
However, they don't force you. You can buy it or not. If you have the ability, you can carry it yourself. No one forces you to come.
A group of people quickly broke through the air shield and faced the dark clouds with electric arcs. The surging magic power swept out and swept away the dark clouds.
The sun pierced down like a brilliant beam of light, instantly illuminating the land below. This land was a little strange. The whole land seemed to be wrapped by a staggered hollow mesh body. From a high altitude, it looked like it was wrapped in sac fluff.
More than a hundred people who fell from the sky landed on the "sac fluff" and found that it looked like "sac fluff" from a distance, but when they looked closer, they found that the fluff was as thick as a tree trunk. The big one was so big that more than a dozen people couldn't hug it, and the small one was as big as an adult. In fact, this is the trunk, a kind of tree called "gui", but this kind of tree does not know where the treetop is, and it is also unknown which tree the roots below are from. The trunk of a tree is winding and no one knows where it goes. It is said that no one knows how long the trunk is, and the winding trunk will grow roots in the middle and implant it into the ground. The cracked bark on the trunk is covered with moss, and no branches or leaves can be seen. It seems that there is only a trunk without leaves. In fact, "heart green" is produced from this kind of tree.
Xu Tangran and others who fell on the cage-like interlaced tree trunks smelled a foul odor. The odor came from the trunk, which is also the source of miasma on this planet. Fortunately, there is the "heart green" fragrance in the mouth to dispel and resolve it, otherwise people will feel like they are going to faint from the odor.
The pillar of light that broke through the clouds above the heads of the crowd was still there, and the clouds had not yet completely healed. The newcomers were looking around this strange world. Xu Tangran had traveled around for many years and was well-informed, but this was the first time he had seen such a strange planet, although he had heard of it for a long time.
From time to time, the clouds in the distance broke through and pillars of light penetrated through. They were people coming and going here.
More than a hundred people quickly dispersed and stood guard in all directions to protect Xu Tangran's safety.
After a little appreciation, Xu Tangran suddenly drew out his sword and chopped at the tree trunk on the side with a bang. As a result, the sharp sword only sank halfway, and green juice came out. The stench became stronger, which really confirmed the legend that this strange tree was very tough. Xu Tangran drew back his sword and saw that the wound on the trunk was rapidly creeping and healing, so he added his magic power and chopped it down with a fierce sword, and then with a bang, the trunk that lay across his eyes was cut off.
After the two broken ends were broken, they swayed. The broken ends with green juices quickly crawled and grew longer, and randomly climbed on a tree trunk, and soon merged and grew together. Both broken ends were like this, as if they had never been cut off. Only fresh traces proved what had happened.
Xu Tangran, holding a sword in his hand, said with a sigh: "The rumors are true. This strange tree is indeed tough and can regenerate quickly." He turned around and asked: "Didn't they say that the heart green came from this strange tree? Why can't I see it?"
Another lotus master named Duan Yunbiao smiled and said: "The heart green does not grow randomly. It only grows on the main root of the strange tree. It grows on the root stems. It is not visible from our position. The heart green can be sold for money. Where the heart green grows, it is naturally guarded by the 蜧 tribe. It is difficult for outsiders to approach easily."
Xu Tangran looked at his feet. He didn't know how many tree trunks were stretched horizontally and intertwined all the way down. He couldn't see the ground at all because of these things. He cast a spell and probed down for more than 500 feet before his magic power detected the ground.
The light circles around him were gradually shrinking. Looking up, he saw that the dark clouds in the sky were about to close.
Retracting his gaze, Xu Tangran asked, "Didn't you say that you have contacted the people of the Mushi tribe? Where is the contact person?"
Yuan Gong looked around and said to Duan Yunbiao, "Brother Duan, please check it again."
Duan Yunbiao nodded, waved and called the two people in the distance to disappear in the network of tree trunks everywhere below.
While waiting, the light ball in the sky completely disappeared, and it was dark below. The flashing electric snakes in the sky made the whole world below fall into flickering light and darkness.
Seeing that there was no one around, Yuan Gong looked at Xu Tangran who was standing quietly with his hands behind his back, and suddenly smiled and asked, "Your Excellency seems to be paying close attention to Wang Zhuo, the governor of Gengzi Domain, recently!"
Xu Tangran looked back at him and nodded slightly, "I just respect the governor's order."
Yuan Gong: "Wang Zhuo is the father of Concubine Qin. It is rumored that the emperor's demotion is related to Concubine Qin. Will the governor's attention to Wang Zhuo be related to Tianpin Palace?"
Xu Tangran sighed, "Who knows, I hope nothing will happen. Since the governor has ordered it, let's keep an eye on it."
Yuan Gong nodded, "Of course, we..." He paused and suddenly turned around.
I saw a slender brown beetle appearing from nowhere, as long as an arm, with a faint metallic luster on its body and moss growing on its shell. It lay on the tree trunk and was almost integrated with the surrounding tree trunks. It suddenly shot towards this side with a sharp thorn on its mouth.
Xu Tangran also tilted his head to see it, and guessed that this was the so-called strange insect. It usually hides and lives on strange trees, sucking the juice of strange trees to survive. Being bitten by this thing is not much different from being poisoned by miasma. It can paralyze people. If you can't get treatment in time, you will also become petrified.
This thing is similar to mosquitoes in the woods. It is said to be a delicacy that the crickets like.
Before he could think about it, and before Yuan Gong could make a move, a black-scaled snake as thick as a bucket suddenly jumped out from under the horizontal tree trunk like an arrow from a bow. It opened its bloody mouth with sawtooth fangs, and with a flick of its bright red tongue, it directly wrapped the strange insect into its mouth, twisted its body in the air and swallowed the strange insect into its stomach, then floated in the air and landed on the tree trunk, clinging to the tree trunk and slowly swam towards this side.
Several accompanying guards appeared around, staring at this side and ready to move, and Yuan Gong raised his hand to stop them.
The black-scaled snake swam over with its tongue in and out, with a circle of golden arcs in each of its eyes, and furry, sawtooth-shaped ears on both sides of its head.
Xu Tangran guessed that this was someone from the 蜧 tribe. The so-called 蜧 tribe is a kind of snake, in fact, it is a snake tribe. This kind of snake is called 蜧, and it is far more magical than ordinary snakes. Unlike ordinary snakes, they need to show their intelligence before they can practice. The 蜧 tribe can transform into humans after they reach adulthood. After they have a little magic power, they can naturally make clouds and rain. They compare themselves to dragons, so they call the place where they live Black Dragon Pond.
As expected, the black-scaled snake with a faint glow swam to the front of the two people, and its body shape changed after a while, and it turned into a woman with long hair and stood up.
The dark and smooth long hair fluttered, the figure was graceful and attractive, without a single strand of hair, the plump and the bottom were covered with black scales, and there were also some scales on the forehead. She stood barefoot on the tree trunk, and the golden arc in her eyes was still there. She was considered a beauty.
"Where are you from?" The woman of the 蜧 tribe asked lightly.
Yuan Gong replied, "Just walk around and have a look."
This was the connection, and it was considered to be in agreement. The woman of the 觋 tribe nodded and said, "I'll take you to have a look." Then she jumped into the tree trunk grid below.
Yuan Gong nodded to Xu Tangran, and waved to the guards around him. A group of people immediately gathered and drilled into the bottom, chasing the figure of the 觋 tribe woman who was dodging below...
Gengzi Domain, Dutong Mansion, the place where it is located is beautiful, needless to say, the mansion of the most powerful person in the domain can't be bad.
At this time, people came and went, and there was a festive atmosphere, celebrating the promotion of Dutong Lord Wang Zhuo.
Wang Zhuo didn't want to do this originally, and he knew in his heart that it was not glorious to be promoted by his daughter's deeds, but a group of subordinates repeatedly expressed their desire to celebrate, and it was a bit hard to refuse the kindness. In addition, the Tianwang Mansion hinted that it could be done, so it was delayed until now.
The Tianwang Palace has secretly informed him of the intention. It is estimated that someone is going to harm him. It is not a good thing to be too vigilant. It means to deliberately find an opportunity for someone to attack. To put it bluntly, it is to set a trap. The master secretly sent by the Tianwang Palace has arrived.
Wang Zhuo secretly laughed at this. He knew who the Tianwang Palace was waiting for, but he knew in his heart that the people there could not kill him because he was originally from there.
Before the banquet started, Wang Zhuo was meeting guests in the main hall. There were subordinates who came to meet him in person and congratulate him. The atmosphere was festive.
At this time, someone suddenly came to report: "Sir, the netherworld commander Niu Youde came to congratulate!"
Niu Youde? Never met and never dealt with him before, what was he doing here? Wang Zhuo was stunned, and suddenly he was shocked. I don’t know what he thought of, and he stood up suddenly. (~^~)
