After looking at the longing expressions of Da Niu Er Niu behind me, the temptation of wild eyes defeated my reason, and I decided to go in.
Under the eyes of passers-by, I took Dong Kui, Dongfang Can, Lu Yiyan, and Da Niu Er Niu into the ‘Black Heart Grocery Store’.
The grocery store is quite big, but it's just too messy and looks relatively small. Things are messy and piled together like garbage. There are even a lot of elixirs just lying on the ground. They all look like failures.
The scalp-numbing sound came out again. We said hello and followed the sound into the next room.
The eastern sunshine shines through the window, bringing a touch of warmth, but at this time, several of us feel cold all over and cannot feel any warmth. No wonder Mei Daode ran away immediately after hearing this sound, without even saying hello.
This is not the sound of an ordinary reptile.
"Eating, eating, heart-eating insects?" Dongfang Can took a few steps back in horror and said in fear. He has always been calm and calm. Nothing has ever made him so panicked. Even the last time he faced Ding Xiong, he was very calm.
But when I saw a room full of golden beetles crawling around, endless fear spread.
Dong Kui and I quickly mobilized our energy to prepare to resist, but we didn't have much hope. The Heart-Eating Insect devours all substances, whether metals, plants, or people. Even our energy and the power of rules will be swallowed up. It is extremely terrifying. The reason why
It is called the heart-eating bug because this bug likes to save the human heart until the end to devour it. Finally, a slowly beating heart can give the heart-eating bug a sense of pleasure. This is where the name of the heart-eating bug comes from.
Nothing can kill the swarms of Heart-Eating Insects. Even the super strong men of Yuan Emperor's Three Slashes are helpless against the Heart-Eating Insects. From ancient times to the present, the Heart-Eating Insects have always been in the deepest part of the Endless Forest, adjacent to the Heavenly Beast Territory.
Everyone is safe and sound, and I haven’t heard of Heart-Eating Insects entering human settlements. How come there are Heart-Eating Insects here?
A few of us slowly exited the room, fearing to make any noise. The heart-eating insects crawling around the room did not attack us and seemed to be uninterested in us. We were relieved and couldn't help cursing in our hearts, "Damn Mei Daode!"
I don’t know how to escape faster than anyone else.”
After exiting the room, we saw a piece of paper hanging next to the door, which said "House for Heart-Eating Insects". How come we didn't see it just now? Damn it.
Looking at each other, Dong Kui said bitterly, "Chief, chief, are you sure you want to go deeper into this grocery store? Who knows what is more terrifying inside?" Dongfang Can lost his initial calmness and said with a hint of fear, "This store
The grocery store is not simple, very not simple. The owner is probably very scary, so we should leave." At this time, Lu Yiyan, who was not afraid of the sky or the earth, wanted to retreat, but they were frightened.
Just as I was about to speak, an old man appeared in front of us very strangely. We were startled. The space seemed to be distorted. We couldn't see the old man clearly at all. We only knew that he was a very short old man with a short stature and a hooded coat.
Wearing a coat and holding his arms tightly, he said, "Want to go out? Yes, 10,000 purple diamonds per person." The old voice came out, making people feel endless sadness. The old man spoke freely and could integrate his emotions into his voice.
It was extremely terrifying, but the words he said made people feel angry, "Ten thousand purple rough stones? Ten thousand purple rough stones when we didn't buy anything? You might as well go and grab them," Lu Yiyan said angrily.
The old man laughed twice, pointed to the room on one side, and said, "You have also seen the Heart Eater. This is a big secret. Only you, me and that Mei Daode know about it in the entire empty city. He doesn't dare to spread it, so you and I will
I can’t guarantee it anymore. Each person has 10,000 purple rough stones. This is the deposit. If you spread the rumors, I can also have money to escape, so that I won’t live in poverty.”
"Who dares to hurt you, Heart-Eating Insect? Even the strongest Yuan Emperor Three Cuts would have to stay away from such a terrifying thing." Dong Kui couldn't help but said loudly.
The old man glanced at Dong Kui, his voice lowered, and said, "Do you want to default on the bill? Okay, this is the first time I've encountered a defaulter since the opening of my 'Black Heart Grocery Store'. It seems that you are sure to accept this bad old man like me."
”.
Realizing that the old man was angry, I hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper, we are not slacking off, we just want to come in to see something and trade with the shopkeeper. If you open a grocery store here, you won't do business, right?"
"What? You want to trade? You told me earlier, please come to the guests, please come to the guests. I have countless treasures, only those you can't think of, and there is nothing I can't come up with. Please come to the guests." The old man's attitude suddenly changed to one hundred and eighty.
After turning a corner, the weather seemed to be clearing up. We were stunned for a while, but somehow we followed him into the inner hall.
The space slowly faded, and the old man's appearance was revealed. He was very ordinary, very ordinary, not even as distinctive as Mei Deode. At least he was ugly and unforgettable. No one would remember this old man even if he went out on the street, but if he contacted the people here,
With the Heart-Eating Worm and his terrifying methods of speaking out of love, I believe no one in the world would dare to forget him.
They served each of us a drink very quickly, but it looked moldy no matter what. No one dared to drink it. The old man rubbed his hands and said expectantly, "What do the guests like? There are eight rules in small shops."
We looked at the old man suspiciously, 20% off? It would be fine if he didn’t blackmail us.
The old man led us to his favorite counter. Heck, the counter was not placed outside, but at the very end. The old man explained that only connoisseurs know how to look for good things, which left us speechless for a while.
Come out, the devil knows what is here.
"Ada, that's it. Threaded gold is the best conductor for the priest ancestors. It's not just us, it's used in many other yuan beast coming-of-age ceremonies. Such a big piece is enough for the two of us." Daniel said
I whispered in my ear and pointed at the dark golden strange metal as big as a plate, full of hope.
I knew what was going on, so I glanced at the old man carefully. The old man looked left and right indifferently, and didn't seem to notice the conversation between me and Daniel.
"Ahem, shopkeeper, here's the thing, this long sword, this bone-strengthening pill and this piece of threaded gold, look at how much it costs in total." I pointed to a few items and said to the old man.
The old man turned around and looked at it, and said without caring, "Fifty thousand purple rough stones, thank you for your patronage." "Fifty thousand? Who are you trying to trick? Which of these things is worth fifty thousand?" I asked in surprise, even though I had been blackmailed before.
I was prepared, but this was too cruel. I gave Dongfang Can and the others only 50,000 purple rough stones, and this old man took them all in one go.
The old man chuckled and said, "This sword and this bone-strengthening pill are all given as gifts. Although the shop is poor, it can still get these things. Fifty thousand purple rough stones is the price of the threaded gold. Buy it."
One for two, thank you for your patronage."
I suppressed the anger in my heart. The old guy must have heard what Daniel said to me. He said helplessly, "Shopkeeper, no matter how high the price of threaded gold is, it will only cost 10,000 purple rough stones at most. This is still the price in the Endless Forest. This is
The things are of no use here at all, doesn’t the shop owner think the price is too high?”.
"Really? Don't ask about the source of things, only the use. If the two Yuan beasts around you have passed the coming-of-age ceremony, they will be worth immeasurable. Do you still think that my threaded gold is not worth the price?" The old man looked like he had seen through the truth.
His appearance made us stunned for a moment, not knowing whether he had really seen through the identity of Daniel Erniu or just said it casually.
"Forget it, let's go to the Endless Forest to buy some more. There should be threaded gold there. Let's go." I couldn't stand the old man and said as if he was sure of us. When the old man heard what I said, his face changed and he said slowly, "Don't
I forgot that you still owed me 60,000 purple rough stones before, don’t try to default on the debt."
After listening to the old man's words, our anger suddenly surged, but we don't know if it was a coincidence, but the sound of crawling heart-eating insects sounded again. We suppressed the anger in our hearts and gritted our teeth and said, "Shopkeeper, don't bully others too much. I am a disciple of Huoshan.
I must report today’s events to Huoshan.”
The old man smiled disdainfully and said nonchalantly, "Okay, okay, let's go talk. I'll see if any old guy is still alive in the volcano, so he can relax his muscles and bones for me."
I was shocked. The old man was immediately classified as one of the monsters that surpassed the Yuan Emperor's Three Slashes. Now I don't think that the strongest master in the volcano is Wang Tage. There must be a strong person who surpasses the Yuan Emperor's Three Slashes. Since the old man said that, come to think of it.
I'm not weak and can't be offended, but being blackmailed makes me feel uncomfortable.
The old man suddenly waved his hands impatiently, as if he had discovered something urgent, and yelled, "Forget it, forget it, I encountered a group of poor people, and together with this piece of threaded gold, there are a total of 70,000 purple rough stones, take the things and get out."
