After everyone followed Xiaojing and crossed several low slopes, they finally saw the body of a demon king not far away.
From a distance, it looks like a white horse.
However, this horse was very big. Zhang Chu felt that one of the white horse's eyes was much bigger than his own head, and it looked very fierce.
However, its belly has been opened and its two hind legs are scattered not far away. It seems that it had a fierce battle with its opponent and was killed by other demon kings.
Soon, Niu Meng led the people to the white horse.
At this moment, Niu Meng took a long iron rod, came to the horse's head, and pried open the horse's mouth with force.
Everyone saw that the horse's teeth were like saw teeth.
"Beihai Barge Horse!" Zhang Chu's heart moved, and he immediately knew the identity of this thing.
There is a description of this thing in the "Great Wilderness Sutra": There is a beast in the North Sea, its name is Pi, it looks like a white horse, has saw teeth, and eats tigers and leopards.
This is a large and ferocious beast, and there is no record of how it eats, which shows that it was not easy to mess with in ancient times and was not easy to catch.
But at this moment, there is blood flowing here.
Everyone searched around the body of the barge horse, and someone said: "Nothing of value was left, even the demon pill was taken away."
Some people said naturally: "This kind of demon king who was killed by outsiders would not leave anything valuable in the first place."
"Yes, unless you encounter a situation where both sides suffer losses, it is impossible to pick up the treasure."
In fact, for bone pickers, the only way to really make a fortune is to meet those demon kings or demon lords who have encountered "unfortunate" experiences.
Creatures like this that are killed by outsiders often don't even have meat left behind, only some bones, which are worthless.
And if a creature that has encountered an ominous death dies and is not picked up by anyone, it may make a fortune.
What Niu Meng and the others most hope to encounter is the kind of creature that has encountered something ominous.
Of course, they also need to deal with such worthless corpses.
At this moment, Niu Meng said: "Okay, let's work."
Then Zhang Chu saw that these people had a clear division of labor and began to deal with the corpses.
As the boss, Niu Meng lit three sticks of incense in front of the horse's head.
Someone drew a mysterious huge symbol on the ground, and then dug pits of different sizes inside the symbol.
Others peeled off the skin, cut the flesh, and extracted the bones.
Although they did not eat meat, they processed the carcasses very quickly. After a short time, the newly intact Beihai Barge Horse had been divided into countless parts by them.
Zhang Chu also imitated their example and helped everyone, helping them deal with the bodies of the Beihai barge horses.
Rumble…
At this moment, the ground in the distance roared.
Zhang Chu and the others immediately stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw dozens of ancient demon elephants appearing in the distance. The huge demon elephants were as majestic as hills. Every step they took made the earth tremble.
If you look closely, you will see that on the back of each ancient demon elephant are gorgeous seats and tables. Most of the people sitting next to the tables and chairs are three or five young people.
Although the ground was shaking, the back of the ancient demonic elephant was as stable as the ground. Those sitting on the back of the ancient demonic elephant were even making tea.
"It's from Demon Elephant Academy!" A person beside Zhang Chu whispered.
Niu Meng just glanced at them from a distance and said, "Continue working and ignore them."
Everyone immediately stopped looking at them and concentrated on cutting up the bodies of the barge horses.
At this moment, the people from Demon Elephant Academy also discovered Niu Meng's team. They just glanced at Niu Meng and the others from a distance, and then stopped immediately.
"Unfortunately, it's the Bone Scavenger!" Someone in the Demon Elephant Academy seemed to hate the Bone Scavenger.
A middle-aged man in the lead, who seemed to be the tutor of the Demon Elephant Academy, shouted directly: "Stay away from them, take a detour!"
Then, these demonic elephants immediately turned around and walked in other directions.
Zhang Chu looked weird and couldn't help but ask Niu Meng: "Sister Niu, what's going on?"
At this time Niu Meng said: "That is a team of geniuses who came to Naihe State to find good fortune."
Zhang Chuze asked: "Do they think it is bad luck to meet us bone collectors?"
"Bah!" Someone in the team suddenly said with disdain: "I also think it is bad luck to meet them!"
"Yes, we are making a living in Naihe State. We have been here for most of our lives and have never encountered any bad luck. On the contrary, in these academies and sects that claim to be geniuses, great figures often die here, and we don't know who is the source of bad luck. .”
Niu Meng immediately scolded: "Shut up, everyone!"
Then, Niu Meng explained to Zhang Chu: "To outsiders, our bone collecting team is like vultures on the grassland. Our appearance means death."
"So, once a team of outsiders see a team of bone pickers like ours, they will stay away from it, not wanting to be contaminated by Karma."
Zhang Chu suddenly thought: "So that's it!"
At this time, several middle-aged men pulled out the heart of a barge horse as big as a haystack. At the same time, a big man asked Zhang Chu jokingly: "Xiao Chu, don't you think we are unlucky?"
Zhang Chu said with a smile: "My life was saved by everyone. No one disliked me climbing out of the ghost sedan. How can I think that others are ominous."
In fact, if Zhang Chu encountered a team of outsiders, I am afraid no one would save Zhang Chu.
But the team of bone pickers was different. They were interdependent with this land. Facing Zhang Chu crawling out of the ghost sedan, they were not so afraid in their hearts.
Finally, these people completely sorted the bodies of the barge horses and buried them in the newly dug pits of different sizes.
After everything was settled, a middle-aged man came out of the team. He sang some ancient and obscure songs, as if he was sending off the barge horses.
As the middle-aged man sang, Zhang Chu clearly felt that the evil spirit in this place gradually dissipated, and some yellow buds quickly sprouted where the body of the barge horse had just been buried.
In the distance, several yellow sheep appeared.
"I didn't want to eat meat..." Zhang Chu muttered in his heart.
At this moment, the yellow sheep were staring directly at the new shoots growing under the bone picker's feet, as if they were eager for the bone picker to leave so that they could come over and eat these shoots.
However, Niu Meng did not take the people away immediately. Instead, he shouted to the yellow sheep in the distance: "We will leave when the grass grows three inches."
These yellow sheep seemed to be very anxious. They were circling anxiously in place, but they did not dare to approach.
Niu Meng no longer paid attention to the yellow sheep, but led his team to quietly guard these new shoots.
The grass grows very quickly, and within two sticks of incense at most, those yellow buds have grown into tender grass.
Niu Meng then said: "Okay, let's go."
The team started on the road, and as soon as the team left, the yellow sheep immediately took up their previous positions and began to eat the newly grown tender grass.
After walking far away, Zhang Chucai asked: "Whenever you encounter a corpse, do you have to deal with it like this?"
Niu Meng nodded: "Yes, as long as you encounter a corpse, you must dispose of it in this way."
Another middle-aged man laughed at himself: "Most of the time, we encounter this situation. We can't pick up any treasures, but we have to work hard and pick up a few incense sticks."
Zhang Chuze understood that these bone pickers and the earth had long formed a mysterious symbiotic relationship.
Bone pickers are like ants on this land.
Although they are humble, although they are not strong, although they are despised by outside masters and regarded as ominous, they have their own rules and their own way of survival on this land.
For the next seven or eight days, Zhang Chu followed the team of bone pickers across the entire Naihe Prefecture.
They encountered several corpses of demon kings or real people, but they were all the kind of demon kings or real people who were killed by outsiders, and nothing was found.
Of course, they also encountered outsiders several times.
Some outsiders belong to academies or sects in Zhongzhou, and some outsiders come from the Southern Wilderness and are members of the big demon team. Of course, there are also lone rangers.
However, these outsiders were very taboo when facing the bone pickers. They looked at them from a distance and left, not wanting to have any interaction with Niu Meng and the others.
On this day, Niu Meng suddenly said to Zhang Chu: "Xiao Chu, further ahead is the creation area of Naihe State. I have something to tell you."
Zhang Chu asked: "Is there anything special about that area?"
Niu Meng nodded: "That area is countless times more chaotic than the outside."
Zhang Chu said hurriedly: "Sister Niu, don't worry, I won't cause trouble."
Niu Meng said: "I'm not worried about you causing trouble. In fact, that area of creation is just very dangerous and chaotic for outsiders."
"But for us bone pickers, no matter where we are, as long as we don't violate taboos and don't actively provoke outsiders, we won't be in any danger."
Zhang Chu looked at Niu Meng in confusion: "Then what does Sister Niu want to tell me?"
At this time Niu Meng said: "Actually, we can all see that, Xiao Chu, you will not stay in the team forever. You are a dragon in the sky, and you will always fly high."
"And we, the bone pickers, are ants."
"Our lives can be seen at a glance. In this life, we can only be an ant in Naihe State. Unless there is a disaster, there will be no change."
Zhang Chu said nothing, not knowing what Niu Meng wanted to say.
Niu Meng continued: "In the area of creation ahead, you will often encounter some mysterious and precious things. Once those things are taken to the outside world, they will be priceless."
"But we bone pickers will not take those things."
Zhang Chu nodded: "I understand."
"You don't understand!" Niu Meng corrected.
Zhang Chu looked at Niu Meng in surprise.
Niu Meng said: "Xiao Chu, you are destined to leave Naihe State. The creation here is of extraordinary value to you. You should get those precious things."
"So, if you encounter the most precious creation and want to get it, Sister Niu won't blame you."
"But you have to tell me."
"When the time comes, I will wipe away your grimace and expel you from the team of bone pickers. In this way, if you go to obtain fortune again, you will not implicate us."
Zhang Chu smiled: "Sister Niu, you are overthinking it. I will not leave the team of bone pickers, nor will I compete with those outsiders for fortune."
"What?" Niu Meng looked at Zhang Chu in surprise.
Zhang Chuze smiled and said: "If I need any luck, just ask Sister Niu what is the most powerful treasure in Naihe State. I can just make a wish to God. Why should I risk my life to fight with others?" Fight for it?"
After Zhang Chu said this, everyone looked shocked.
At this moment, many people couldn't help but feel jealous: "How amazing is the biological son of this land???"
"It's really amazing!"
