Chapter 155 Stone Crushing Crossbow

Gu Sheng suddenly regretted not using the bone-transformation technique to change his appearance when he left Gujiazhuang. Otherwise, if there was a suitable opportunity this time, he would be able to snatch it away.

However, in the subsequent chat, he gradually learned about the extraordinary nature of Mu's Trading Company, and gradually gave up this idea.

According to people in the same industry, Mu's Trading Company is the largest trading firm in Chiyun Mansion. Their business is not only in Chiyun Mansion, but also has their branches in several nearby cities. The strength of the Mu family behind it Strong and a well-known wealthy family in Chiyun Mansion.

Gu Sheng had just arrived, and it would be a bit uneconomical to offend a giant just for this little thing.

After following Mu Qinghe into Leimu Mountain, Gu Sheng discovered something unusual here.

Although there are many trees here, the air is very dry. When walking in the forest, you can even see some bright arcs flashing. The hair of their group also stood up because of the arcs.

Gu Sheng saw a lot of electric arcs on a tree, and curiously put his hand on it. Suddenly a wave of electricity swept through his body, and his whole body was numb from the electricity, and his hair stood on end.

Gu Sheng retracted his hand like an electric shock and looked at the tree with some surprise. The people next to him couldn't help laughing when they saw Gu Sheng's appearance.

"Little brother, this is your first time coming to Leimu Mountain."

Gu Sheng nodded awkwardly, "Well, it's the first time."

A group of people laughed when they heard this.

"No wonder, don't touch these trees randomly. If you are lucky, the electricity will make you numb for a while. If you are unlucky, you will encounter one with a lot of energy, which will give you a crispy outside and tender inside. Last time I had My nephew was electrocuted and had to lie in bed for three months before he recovered." A middle-aged man in his forties with an unshaven beard reminded Gu Sheng with a smile.

Gu Sheng smiled awkwardly and retracted his hands into his sleeves.

When Mu Qinghe, the leader, saw them talking and laughing, his face turned serious and he yelled: "While we are on a mission, how can we talk and laugh properly? Please be quiet! There are many thunder beasts in Leimu Mountain. If it really attracts a powerful thunder beast, we can’t even fight it together!”

Faced with Mu Qinghe's angry rebuke, everyone who was still talking and laughing immediately shut up, and the forest suddenly became quiet.

Gu Sheng came to the middle-aged man who reminded him earlier and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, what is that thunder beast? Is it very powerful?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Mu Qinghe and found that he was not paying attention to the movement here, and then lowered his voice to explain to Gu Sheng.

"Thunder beasts are actually demon blood beasts, but because of the special environment here, these demon blood beasts have more or less the ability to control thunder and lightning, so they are called thunder beasts."

"Thunder and lightning are the power of heaven and earth, and their attacks are very terrifying. Therefore, the combat capabilities of thunder beasts of the same level are much stronger than ordinary demon blood beasts. In addition, in the special environment of Leimu Mountain, our combat power will be limited, so in It will be very troublesome if you encounter thunder beasts here, and you will lose your life if you are not careful. However, there is no need to worry too much. There are not many thunder beasts, and I guess there will not be more in this huge Thunderwood Mountain. Thirty thunder beasts.”

Gu Sheng was secretly shocked when he heard this, but he soon asked again.

"Since thunder beasts can control some thunder and lightning power, if their flesh and blood are refined into elixirs and their bones are refined into weapons, will we also have the opportunity to control the power of thunder and lightning?"

When faced with Gu Sheng's question, the middle-aged man couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

"Young people's brains are so easy to use and turn so fast! You are right. If you can kill and refine the thunder beasts that have strong enough thunder and lightning power in their blood, you can indeed refine some powerful ones. Humans can also temporarily control thunder and lightning elixirs or weapons, but the prices of such elixirs and weapons are very high. I remember that the last time I saw a thunder knife in Mu's Trading Company, it cost a full 800,000 taels!"

Gu Sheng couldn't help but gasp when he heard the price. He originally thought that he was a man who had seen the world, but he was still a country bumpkin.

He couldn't even imagine buying a weapon for eight hundred thousand taels!

Under the leadership of Mu Qinghe, the group walked for three or four hours in Leimu Mountain, and finally arrived at a secluded valley.

There are high mountains on both sides of the valley, leaving only a gap of two or three meters wide in the middle. The canyon is long and deep, and from time to time there is a flash of lightning in it, which is very dazzling.

There are two tall and tall people at the entrance of the valley.

Mu Qinghe's expression immediately relaxed when he saw the two of them, and he hurried to them.

"Brother Yuan, Brother Wen, I'm back!"

The two people in front of the valley have very similar looks. They are twins. The elder brother is Mu Qingyuan and the younger brother is Mu Qingwen. They are both Mu Qinghe's cousins.

The auras of Mu Qingyuan and Mu Qingwen were deeper than Mu Qinghe's, and they were already approaching the Silver Bone Realm.

Mu Qingyuan glanced at the people recruited by Mu Qinghe and couldn't help but frown.

"That's all you've recruited?"

Mu Qinghe said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, you specifically told me not to recruit people in the name of the family this time, so I asked Lin Qing to recruit people for me in her name, and I didn't dare to tell her that we The real purpose this time is to recruit only this few people.”

Mu Qingwen glanced at it and then patted his brother on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, let's make do with it! With the three of us here, it should be more than enough to deal with that beast."

Mu Qinghe was silent for a while and sighed.

"Ah! This is the only way, but we have to be quick when we do it. That beast is specially raised by the Shengdan Sect. If the people of the Shengdan Sect find us, we will be finished."

Mu Qingyuan turned his head to look at Mu Qinghe and asked, "Did you tell them what we are going to do this time?"

Mu Qinghe shook his head and said, "No, I only told them that this is an escort mission."

Mu Qingyuan nodded and came to Gu Sheng and others. His eyes were sharp, sweeping across everyone's faces like an eagle, and a deep breath was released from him, hitting Gu Sheng and others like a wave.

This breath suppression came and went quickly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Mu Qingyuan paused and said, "Do you know who we are working for this time?" While speaking, his hand was rubbing back and forth on the handle of his sword, and the same was true for the horse behind him, Mu Qingwen and Mu Qinghe's hands.

Except for Gu Sheng, these recruited people, regardless of their cultivation level, are not the first to earn this kind of extra money. Although these old hands already know that the three are from Mu's business, they all shook their heads like rattles and shouted, "I don't know! We just do things for money. We don't ask what we shouldn't ask and don't look at what we shouldn't look at!"

Mu Qingyuan showed a satisfied expression on his face when he heard this, but his hand still didn't let go of the hilt of the knife. He stared at Gu Sheng and the others and said in a clear tone: "Whether you know it or not, you'd better pretend that you don't know! I have sent your portraits back to my clan. If anyone dares to say something nonsense in the future, hehe, you know the consequences!"

"Swish!"

As he said this, he pulled out a section of the saber in his hand, and a strong sword energy swept out and turned into a cold wind that made these people feel cold.

The hearts of these recruited people sank when they heard this. They suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts. They suddenly felt that this mission seemed not so simple! Otherwise, there would be no need for such a big battle!

Before the mission begins, there will be some intimidation. This is not like an ordinary escort mission!

Mu Qingyuan saw the fear in everyone's heart. After he sheathed his knife, a warm smile appeared on his face.

"But don't worry. Although this mission will be a little dangerous, with the three of us, everything is under control. You only need to assist us! After the mission is completed, each person in the Blood Refining Realm will be rewarded with 1,000 taels, and each person in the Bronze Bone Realm will be rewarded with 1,500 taels!"

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a large reward. After hearing the generous reward, some people who were originally worried were no longer afraid, and some people even rubbed their hands.

Mu Qingyuan winked at Mu Qingwen and Mu Qinghe: "Distribute the things to them!"

Mu Qingwen and Mu Qinghe nodded, and dragged out two large wooden boxes from behind a large rock on the edge of the canyon.

The wooden boxes were opened, and inside were actually well-made crossbows.

"This is a stone-crushing crossbow, made with the technique of refining, which can cause considerable damage to the demon-blooded beasts in the Bronze Bone Realm. Each of you will have one, and I will arrange it for you later!"

Mu Qingyuan said as he picked up a crossbow, and at the same time he pulled out a special arrow from another wooden box and inserted it.

After the crossbow was pulled into place, it made a click. Mu Qingyuan picked up the stone-crushing crossbow and aimed at a large tree that a person could hug in the distance.

"The stone-crushing crossbow is powerful and has a strong recoil. When using it, remember to press the crossbow body with one hand to maintain accuracy!"

As he spoke, Mu Qingyuan held the crossbow in one hand and pressed the other hand on the crossbow. His fingers gently pressed the crossbow trigger, and the crossbow arrow was shot out with a whoosh and a crisp sound.

"Bang!"

The crossbow arrow hit the tree, and immediately made a huge sound. The tree that a person was hugging was actually shot through with a large hole.

The wood chips in the large hole were dark, as if they had been burned.

"Crack, crack!"

The sound of trees breaking came, and within a few breaths, the big tree actually broke from the big hole, and the ground even trembled when it fell to the ground.

Gu Sheng was also shocked by the power of the stone-breaking crossbow, and couldn't help but pick it up to observe carefully.

You know, even if he used a six-stone bow before, he could only cause effective damage to people in the minor stage of the Blood Refining Realm. If it was a major stage or a perfect stage, it could be easily resolved. However, at this time, the more delicate and compact crossbow in his hand was so powerful, which really surprised him.

Gu Sheng's archery has reached the special effect level. He originally thought that with his current strength, his archery would become very useless, but now the stone-breaking crossbow in his hand has undoubtedly opened a new door for him.

Although archery can no longer improve, but change weapons!

From the power that Mu Qingyuan just showed, the power of the stone-breaking crossbow can definitely pose an effective threat to people in the Bronze Bone Realm. If it is combined with a first-level penetration sneak attack, Gu Sheng is basically sure to achieve a one-hit kill effect.

Gu Sheng liked the stone-breaking crossbow more and more, and couldn't help asking Mu Qinghe: "Sir, I know a little bit about archery, and I like this stone-breaking crossbow very much. I wonder if you can sell it to me?"

Mu Qingyuan glanced at Gu Sheng and was shocked to find that he was so young. He turned his head and looked at Mu Qinghe with a puzzled look, and there was some anger in his eyes.

Mu Qingyuan misunderstood that Mu Qinghe had invited the children of other wealthy families in Chiyun Mansion. What they did this time must not be publicized. If the matter was not really urgent, he would probably give Mu Qinghe a big fight.

After Mu Qinghe noticed that Mu Qingyuan's expression was not right, he quickly leaned over to explain: "Brother Yuan, this guy is not from Chiyun Prefecture, he is just a person with good talent from a small place."

Mu Qingyuan's doubts disappeared when he heard this, and his eyes were full of disdain: "It's useless to ask, you can't afford it."

Gu Sheng shook his head and smiled: "How do you know I can't afford it if you don't even tell me the price? Tell me and let me see."

Mu Yuanqing frowned when he saw that Gu Sheng was not willing to give in, and his tone became bad.

"The stone-breaking crossbow costs 18,000 taels per frame, and the crossbow arrows used are also special. One arrow costs 100 taels, and the minimum purchase is 10. Can you afford it?"

The stone-breaking crossbow can cause effective damage to people in the Bronze Bone Realm. To be honest, 18,000 taels per frame is acceptable, but the arrows cost 100 taels each are indeed a bit expensive.

After all, this thing is not 100% accurate. If the accuracy is a little worse, it may be normal to shoot dozens of arrows in a battle. If you calculate it this way, the cost is much more expensive than buying the stone crushing crossbow itself.

Fortunately, Gu Sheng does not have this worry. With the blessing of the panel, his accuracy is amazing, and with the existence of a first-level penetration, the power of the stone crushing crossbow will be even greater in his hands!

Gu Sheng took out twenty silver notes with a face value of one thousand from his arms.

When Gu Sheng handed the silver notes to Mu Qingyuan, he smiled and said, "I just made a small fortune some time ago, and I still have some savings. This is 20,000 taels of silver notes. Can you count it?"

When everyone present saw that Gu Sheng actually took out so many silver notes, they were stunned. They didn't expect Gu Sheng to be so rich!

"Is he really from a small place?"

This question lingered in Mu Qingyuan's mind.

20,000 taels is not a small amount. Even if it is the lucrative job of Mu's Business this time, people in the Bronze Bone Realm have to do it more than ten times to earn it.

Making money is one thing, saving money is another.

Martial artists in the Blood Refining and Bone Refining realms rely heavily on elixirs, so most people spend their money on buying elixirs. Only some rich kids or people with special ways to make money will spend a lot of money to buy weapons.

Although the stone crushing crossbow is powerful, it is only a long-range weapon after all. Its performance is not stable, and its disadvantages are also obvious. Once someone gets close to it, its attack ability will be greatly reduced. Therefore, many people will not choose it even if they have money. Only big forces like Mu's Trading Company will equip it when performing special tasks.

After Mu Qingyuan took the banknote, he carefully checked it. After confirming that the banknote was genuine, his brain was a little frozen.

Even for him, it was painful to take out 20,000 taels to buy a long-range weapon! (End of this chapter)
