Chapter 264: The Eighth Mission - The New Five Immortals 68
Although the black bear is a little shrewder, it also knows how to measure.
It's okay to make a little money, but it's definitely not going to work if you're trying to trick people.
Especially after his eyes turned around Wu Yao's body, he became more aware of current affairs.
So he talked to Mo Yiyi.
"You want a lot, but I don't have that much golden honey on hand right now. Let's go to the Chamber of Commerce to discuss it first, and then sign a contract. What do you think?"
Of course Mo Yiyi had no objection to this, so she nodded.
Seeing Mo Yiyi nod, Black Bear quickly put away the stall, gave all the honey on the stall to Mo Yiyi, and was ready to follow Noila Mo!
The black bear was about to leave, but the harpy gave up and quickly came forward to stop the black bear. The black bear was somewhat helpless to him and said directly.
"You've seen how many spiritual stones I've sold for this golden honey. Even if your price is ridiculous, I won't sell it to you!" Why exchange meat for honey? Damn it!
He is a half-demon adopted by the old queen bee. His demon clan blood may be that of a diamond bear, but he is not from the clan of diamond bears, and bees do not eat meat. His conditions are not attractive to him at all.
No strength at all!
The bird demon was a little anxious, gesticulating in an attempt to get the black bear to release his restraint.
Although the black bear was a little annoyed by the bird demon's chirping, he still raised his hand to untie him, wanting to see what he had to say.
But unexpectedly, after the bird demon was released, he didn't say anything to the black bear. Instead, he faced Mo Yiyi with a smile like a flower, picked up a piece of peach-red cloth on his stall and said.
"Fellow Taoist! Don't miss it if you pass by. My food is definitely the best among the best. If you miss my stall, it will be difficult to find this food!"
Mo Yiyi is not the kind to be unreasonable, especially since she heard what the bird demon said about breaking up with the black bear just now. From what he meant, the bird demon would rather not do business than to pester the black bear.
He just wanted to get that golden honey for the little ones in his clan to eat.
Although she would not be so kind as to give him the golden honey, but considering that he was doing it for the children of his clan, Mo Yiyi still understood him.
Therefore, as soon as he said hello, Noila Mo turned back.
She liked all the ingredients in this stall. She looked around and looked at them, and wanted to buy some. However, the ingredients would lose their vividness after being stored for a long time, so Mo Yiyi would not buy too much at one time.
There are enough, enough to make a hundred or so things for her to wear.
Mo Yiyi liked the ones with bright colors, and the harpy was used to this kind of business, and all the words he chattered in his mouth were those nice words. The deceitful Mo Yiyi packed up all the fabrics in his stall!
The bird demon thought that she had made a big deal, but Mo Yiyi thought about it in her mind and felt that the amount was not enough, so she asked the bird demon.
"Do you still have more fabric? This material is still a little short."
The harpy paused in the act of spreading oily paper on the outside of the cloth, and looked dumbfounded for a moment, then immediately smiled like a flower.
"Yes, yes, my guest, please wait a moment. I'll get it for you right now. I'll be back right away!"
The bird demon said, first wrapped the piece of material in his hand, then transformed directly into its original shape, flapped its wings and flew away!
This bird demon was not afraid of Mo Yiyi rolling up the cloth and running away. After all, Mo Yiyi had already paid for the cloth, so not only did he leave feeling at ease, but he also left very anxiously!
He needs to quickly find the tribesmen who set up stalls on other streets and collect all the materials. There is a big customer here! If he misses this one, it will be difficult to sell all these materials.
Got it!
The bird demon went back and forth very quickly. Mo Yiyi was listening to the black bear saying that he had any other honey, so the bird demon flew back with three tribesmen.
As soon as the four birds landed on the ground, they turned into human forms, three men and one woman. The original stall owner laughed when he saw Noila Mo Yiyi, and while smiling back, he called on his tribesmen to take out the cloth.
Most of the fabrics taken out by these birds were wrapped in oil paper, and only a few were disassembled.
Seeing that these birds were planning to take apart all the fabrics and show them to Mo Yiyi, Mo Yiyi quickly stopped them.
"Wait a minute, don't take it apart. It's too troublesome to take it apart and wrap it up again!"
After saying this, Mo Yiyi looked at her master. Wu Yao was drinking golden honey water, sip after sip, drinking it very comfortably.
When he saw his disciple looking at him for help (?), Wu Yao immediately understood.
The divine consciousness was spread out on the cloth, and the four bird demons were so frightened that the bird feathers on their heads exploded. Fortunately, the divine consciousness was spread out only for a moment, and then returned to normal.
Lin Li silk hooked two pieces of cloth out, opened them directly, then opened the cloth, and spread out a certain section of the cloth.
At just one glance, the faces of these four birds turned pale.
There is no other reason for this, because both pieces of cloth have traces of being eaten by insects!
The bird demon who contacted Mo Yiyi quickly clarified that they were definitely not shoddy, there must be a misunderstanding!
Mo Yiyi didn't take this matter to heart. After all, it was not their fault that the cloth was eaten by insects. Their big reaction actually scared Mo Yiyi.
Mo Yiyi waved her hands directly, indicating that this was not a problem.
"I don't want these two pieces of cloth anymore. Just wrap the rest for me. How many spiritual stones?"
The bird demon rubbed his hands and secretly looked at Wu Yao who was standing behind Mo Yiyi. After thinking about it, he quoted a 20% discount price.
Mo Yiyi's mental arithmetic was pretty good. Just when she was about to dig out the spiritual stones, she realized that the price was much lower than the previous price. She looked at the bird demon with some suspicion.
Although the bird demon couldn't tell what Mo Yiyi was thinking, when Mo Yiyi looked over, he instinctively explained.
"It's really our negligence. We almost passed it off as a shoddy product. It's our fault. I'll give you a 20% discount as an apology!"
The bird demon smiled particularly flatteringly. Mo Yiyi didn't know why for a moment, and then glanced at Wu Yao subconsciously.
Wu Yao thought that Noila Mo wanted to ask his opinion. He was just a shopping companion, what could he have? So he said it naturally.
"Take it." Save if you can. Although Wu Yao has accepted the fact that his disciple is a prodigal, it would be good if he could save a little!
Mo Yiyi belatedly looked at the bird demon, and then at her master. She understood more or less, so she didn't worry too much.
This is the price, it’s good to spend less!
After settling the bill, while the four bird demons were wrapping themselves in cloth, Mo Yiyi suddenly asked.
"I remember you could still buy this kind of fabric at the Chamber of Commerce ten years ago. Why can't you buy it now?"
The bird demon didn't think much and spoke directly to Mo Yiyi.
"Our clan migrated for a while, and then we found the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce stopped accepting our cloth."
Mo Yiyi suddenly became curious.
"Why?"
The bird demon was quite helpless about this. Because Mo Yiyi was a big customer, he explained to Mo Yiyi.
"Alas, our clan moved in such a hurry that a lot of babies died in the process. Some of the eggs were laid but had to be moved again before they had time to hatch. Many eggs had to be moved back and forth before they had time to hatch.
No more. We are all like this, who can care about the white down birds. Now we have finally settled down, but there are only a dozen or so white down birds left, and they travel long distances and have no fixed place.
, the feathers of the white feather bird are no longer bright, and merchants will look down on cloth woven from such feathers, and even if the feathers of the white feather bird are restored later, the chamber of commerce will not want our cloth, because we can provide it every time
The quantity of cloth is too small, and it is not worthwhile to cooperate with us. Then there is nothing we can do. There are only a dozen white downed birds left. It will definitely take some time to return to the original scale. To be honest with our customers
You said, these fabrics are the woolen fabrics we have accumulated for a year, and the white downed birds are almost bald by us, that's all we have, what can we do."
The harpy chattered a lot, becoming more and more sad as he talked. He secretly glanced at the black bear, and the harpy almost shed tears.
"It's really not easy for our tribe. Our tribe is not like other races. The women of our tribe are more powerful." As he said this, the bird demon pointed to the side who was a head taller than him and looked stronger.
Banshee. "We were forced to migrate at that time. Later, we also encountered attacks from other races along the way. Many of the female warriors in our race were killed and injured. The hatching of the young birds and the care of the children can be handed over to our male birds.
But the feeding must be left to the female bird. Breast milk is a natural treasure. When a baby bird that doesn’t drink breast milk grows up, it will be extremely difficult for it to practice cultivation. Now there are still a group of little ones in the tribe.
, there is no breast milk, and we can’t find a substitute. When these baby birds grow up in the future, it is very likely that they will be just ordinary birds and unable to metamorphose.”
Thinking of this, this bird demon almost cried!
However, the black bear was also very helpless as the bird demon looked at it one after another.
"Don't look at me like that. If you say your tribe is in difficulty, then my tribe is also in difficulty. I was picked up and raised by the queen bee. I am not the vajra bear you think. I am just a half-demon who has always been with the queen bee.
Bee colonies live together. You say it's difficult for you, and it's difficult for my colony. There are only three queens in the bee colony now. Except for the old queen, the remaining two new queens are weak and the bees born in the colony are all
Not to mention ordinary bees, the two new queens will always be stuck in the foundation-building stage due to physical reasons, and may even die soon. The old queen keeps regenerating little queens for the sake of the group, but the birth of
One by one died, and the old queen was also injured. You said that the cubs in your tribe have no food. After winter in our tribe, in order to survive, the bees that have worked hard for a whole year have to go outside to collect honey.
They freeze to death outside in eight or nine years, and the bees that finally survive have to fend off enemy sneak attacks in winter. Throughout the year, only a handful of bees can survive more than three years."
Therefore, if you seek help from a black bear, this harpy is definitely dreaming!
The harpy didn't expect this.
If the black bear belongs to the Diamond Bear clan, then honey is an additional output of their clan. If you ask for it, you might be able to get a discounted price.
But if this honey is the ration that the Black Bear Clan has finally produced, then no matter how much he asks for it, there is no chance.
But the price mentioned by Black Bear was beyond their reach, and instantly the hair on the bird demon's head became flat!
The bird demons were a little frustrated, but their movements were still not slow. After looking at it, Mo Yiyi felt that the two tribes had their own difficulties, but at the same time, Mo Yiyi was a little puzzled.
"I see it's not like you two tribes are unproductive. How come your life is so miserable?"
Forget it about black bears. After all, honey is also the ration of the bees, so it is really difficult to sell it.
But the harpy cloth was often sold in the past, and the quantity seemed to be quite large. The cloth was not cheap, so I must have some savings.
Who would have thought that just when Mo Yiyi asked this question, the bird demon and the black bear both sneered.
After they finished laughing, they remembered who they were laughing at, and the two of them quickly explained.
"Guest, we are not treating you."
"Well, it's not against you. We have no other intentions."
Mo Yiyi was a little confused by the reactions of these two people, so she asked.
"So, what's the problem?"
The black bear and the bird demon looked at each other, and finally the bird demon and Mo Yiyi told the truth.
"Guest, do you know why our family migrates?"
This Mo Yiyi really knows a little bit.
"I heard from the steward of the Chamber of Commerce that you seem to have been attacked by other monsters?"
The bird demon nodded, and then told Mo Yiyi why they were attacked!
In fact, the reason for this is very simple, that is, the bird demon group is being targeted by the jealous demon!
The harpy clan has indeed made a lot of spiritual stones by raising white velvet birds for weaving. The days are getting more and more prosperous, and the group is getting bigger and bigger, and they even have a vague intention of annexing the surrounding territories.
The growth of their clan has naturally attracted the prying eyes of other races.
There is a special currency for circulation in the demon clan, but spirit stones are also universal in the demon clan, and the value of the spirit stones themselves is even higher.
Although wisdom and some rules have been born in the demon clan, it is still a state of law of the jungle. Strong races or demons have extremely strong control over weak races or demons.
You, a small demon clan, are actually richer than the big demon clan. Isn’t that just attracting the covetousness of others!
On the human side, when encountering this kind of thing, you may have to find a high-sounding excuse, or do it secretly.
But there is no need to bother with the demon clan. If you want to grab it, you can grab it without even saying hello!
The people who attacked the bird demon race were also a group of bird demons. There were powerful demons guarding the human family group. As soon as they came up, they killed all the strong men in the bird demon group and plundered all the wealth accumulated by this family. A large number of
The white-downed birds were occupied. They were such a large group, but only a few hundred birds escaped in the end. Most of them were young birds, and only a few hundred white-downed birds were snatched away.
Just like that, these hundreds of harpies laid eggs and fled all the way. In the end, many adult harpies and their babies died one after another, and there were not many white velvet birds left. Only then did they find a place to settle down.
, began to reproduce again.
The situation with black bears is even worse.
The territory occupied by the old queen bee and the others is a valley. The valley looks very big, but in reality, the territory is only a very small area. There are many more powerful races around, occupying a much larger territory.
The old queen bee and the others are trying to survive in the cracks, and they can still survive under the care of these monsters, just because these races will come to the old queen bee from time to time to get honey.
As long as people from these groups come, the old queen can't say no, she will give to anyone who comes and asks for it.
Otherwise, the old queen bee will be taught a lesson by the strong men in these groups. This is the main reason why the old queen bee and others have been busy for a whole year and can't leave anything behind.
This golden honey was saved by the old queen secretly and frugally under the cover of the black bear. Even when the little queens died one after another, unable to keep up with their nutrition, the old queen did not take it out.
It is precisely because of this that the surrounding races do not keep a close eye on them, and the black bear has the opportunity to run out with things to sell!
In the demon clan, all good things must be dedicated to the superior, and it is a sin for the weak to keep them for themselves!
This is true for the old queen bee and her bee swarm, and the same is true for the race of harpies.
After Mo Yiyi listened to their explanation, she still sympathized with them.
Of course, sympathy is sympathy, the money for honey and fabric has been agreed and settled, and Mo Yiyi will definitely not add more.
At the end, Mo Yiyi still had another question, and that was how did the black bear get the honey brewed by the fire ants?
Black Bear didn't hide this, and told Mo Yiyi directly.
It turns out that the valley outside the old queen bee is surrounded by mountains, and they are all active volcanoes.
However, the active volcano has never erupted. The reason is because there are fire ants living in this active volcano.
Fire ants feed on the heat in magma, and the surrounding races will not give trouble to the fire ants. After all, if the number of these little things is greatly reduced, these four active volcanoes will inevitably erupt, and then the surrounding monster races will definitely be affected.
Good to go!
The old queen bee has some friendship with the queen ant in one of the active volcanoes. The old queen bee's golden honey can be preserved because of the queen's help.
Later, the black bear wanted to go out to sell golden honey, so the queen ant gave him some honey brewed by the ants.
If it can be sold, of course it's good. If it can't be sold, it doesn't matter. The queen ant said that the honey can also be given to him.
In fact, the queen ant really doesn’t think that her home-brewed honey can be sold. After all, even if the fire poison in this thing is removed as much as possible, it still tastes bad and burning, and most people really can’t bear it.
.
The queen ant would give him the honey brewed by these flaming ants, because she saw how pitiful he looked at the golden honey, and felt pity that he couldn't even eat honey, so she gave him some home-brewed honey.
Although it doesn't feel good to eat, fortunately, this stuff is sweet, and feeding it to the black bear can also satisfy the child's craving.
It’s just that the Queen of the Flame Ants never dreamed that there were such weird creatures as sword cultivators in the world of cultivation. The honey brewed by the Flame Ants that had removed the fire poison was just right for them to use to temper their bodies!
Seriously speaking, the honey of this fire ant is the most suitable for sword cultivators.
Therefore, when the black bear told the origin of the fire ant honey, Mo Yiyi was instantly tempted.
"Do you have a lot of honey made by flaming ants here?"
Black Bear nodded directly and said.
"So much, so much. These honey ant queens and their babies can't finish them all. They are all piled up in the empty storage rooms. Now the queen ants and the little ants that haven't grown up still eat dozens.
Old honey saved years ago.”
The honey brewed by the fire ants is said to be honey, but in fact, a more accurate term should be the liquid essence of fire.
Adult fire ants suck heat. If they suck too much at one time, a little bit of liquid fire essence will accumulate in their bodies.
It's just that these fire essences are not pure. I don't know what kind of changes happened in the belly of the fire ants, and finally turned into something with a texture like honey!
Before the fire poison is removed, this honey is as red as flames. After the fire poison is removed, the color is the same as honey.
The queen ant and its young are very fragile. They cannot absorb heat directly, so they can only eat this honey.
Before feeding the queen and young, the ants will extract some of the fire poison.
Some food will be reserved for the cubs, and as the cubs grow larger and larger, the amount of fire poison contained in them will also increase. The cubs that cannot bear it will be directly burned to death by the fire poison, leaving behind
The young will slowly grow into the same ants as the adult ants.
However, the honey that the queen ant and the baby ants give birth to must not have any fire poison in it. The fire poison in it must be completely removed. A small amount of fire poison will be fatal to the queen and the baby queen in the future.
No one cares about the honey brewed by flaming ants, partly because the honey does not taste good when eaten.
On the other hand, it is also because, except for the honey that is given to the future and the little queen ants, it will be temporarily plucking and processing before eating, other honeys are fire poisonous!
This kind of fire poison can not only resist the thoughts of other races, but also have anti-corrosion and anti-damage effects.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, fire ants only use fire poison when they want to feed the queen temporarily or when they want to feed their young.
Probably because of this, the body-tempering effect of the honey brewed by the flame ants has never been discovered. But this time, by chance, Mo Yiyi bumped into it!
That being the case, what else is there to say?
Of course orders are starting to come in again!
Since Yan Yi has stored so much old honey that she can't finish, it would be better to sell it all to her directly. She can buy it back and give it to the sword cultivators of the Sword Sect to use as new exchange materials for body tempering. How good!
You have to bring good things to your own home, and Mo Yiyi understands this very clearly!
When Black Bear heard that Mo Yiyi wanted to buy it, of course he was not unwilling, but Black Bear also had Black Bear's difficulties.
"Well, the queen ant probably won't be reluctant. If I can exchange that honey for spiritual stones, it would definitely be a good thing. However, I have gone through a lot of difficulties this time and finally found the opportunity. I'll think about it next time.
I don’t know how long it will take to come out.”
This, this is easy to handle!
"Don't worry, I'll send you a mission later and find a powerful swordsman to follow you. I promise to go back the same day."
Black Bear and the others' territory is not deep in the demon clan, and they can be solved by a sword cultivator in the God Transformation stage. Even if they are discovered, can those little monsters still compete head-on with a sword cultivator in the God Transformation stage?
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
I did the accounting today in the afternoon. I thought the number of people would be smaller. Who knew, they actually quietly changed the time! It was changed from the original two days in the afternoon to 5:30 pm. I thought I was smart.
I didn't rush to line up with my family to do it in the morning, but I didn't want to be clever but was fooled by my cleverness. I went back and forth twice and queued up for a long time. Not to mention wasting time, I was laughed at when I came back.
