Some herbs and small bones on the cliffs in the desert don't even need to use magic. They can easily climb up using both hands and feet, and easily earn a commission for a soul crystal.
"Master Skeleton, you are so awesome. When my sister gets better, I will ask her to introduce you to more tasks. My sister is awesome. She is a pharmacist and knows many mercenaries." The little boy said proudly.
I don’t know if the little boy’s sister has introduced tasks to Xiao Gu, but there are still people who hire Xiao Gu. From time to time, people come to hire Xiao Gu to carry things, move things, and dive for things.
It's just that soul crystals are still relatively expensive. Only for things that are beyond the reach of ordinary people, would anyone think of hiring Xiaogu, but soon everyone encountered the liquidity crisis of soul crystals.
Because there were no undead creatures in Shaxi Town before, basically no one used soul crystals. Only the old captain held a few, pharmacist Alora had a few, and the townspeople had some scattered ones. , it’s gone when it’s used up.
I don’t know if the old captain’s first order had a demonstration effect. The commission for hiring Xiaogu starts with one soul crystal, and the equivalent magic crystal is never used, because the skeleton cannot absorb magic crystals.
A few days later, the old captain came over apologetically to Xiao Gu: "Little Skeleton, I sent a message to the dock to ask, but no one reported the loss of the skeleton. I already left a message saying that I had taken in a skeleton. Who can help? Tell me your physical characteristics and I will take you up."
Xiaogu looked at the old captain Marcus blankly.
Marcus, accustomed to it, patted it on the shoulder and walked away.
Xiaogu tilted his head and continued to play with his things and divide the plants.
Although Shaxi Town is a small town on the edge of the desert, it is still rich in species. Xiaogu discovered several low plants that are very suitable for desert planting.
The desert has high temperatures and evaporation during the day, and strong winds and cold at night, which are suitable for plants with well-developed root systems, short plants, and thin and thick leaves.
The crop in front of us, which the locals call sea buckthorn, is very suitable. If this crop had existed in the Forbidden City of the Gods, it might not have taken so long to fill the desert.
After a period of research, Xiaogu discovered that sea buckthorn can be propagated by cuttings.
Find a mature seabuckthorn tree, cut off finger-thick branches that are more than two years old, bundle them into a handful, soak them in a basin for a day, and then bury them in moist sand. After seven days, the roots will grow out, and you can divide the branches.
After some digging, Xiaogu got hundreds of small seabuckthorn saplings.
After nightfall, which is the most suitable time for transplanting, Xiaogu carried a large bundle of saplings to the cliffs where he collected herbs last time.
This place is far away from the town, and is cut and washed by the Shaxi River, forming a river beach with soft and moist sandy soil, which is suitable for the planting of sea buckthorn.
After spending several hours planting all the seabuckthorn saplings, Xiaogu walked back slowly.
Because of the habit developed over the years, the small bones are formed at sunrise and rest at sunset. The sunlight has the aura of the king, and it can make its bones stronger when it shines on the body, so its bones are now far stronger than its soul.
Today was a rare night for it to wander outside, and then it discovered some strange places. There was some breath in the wind that made it feel very comfortable. This kind of breath was not found in the forbidden land of the gods.
The breath of death? A familiar yet unfamiliar term emerged from Xiaogu's soul. It turned out to be the aura of death. No wonder there is no Forbidden City of the Gods. The only living things there are some small animals and insects. The soul levels of these creatures are too low to be easily brewed. The smell of death.
Xiaogu took a deep breath with his soul, and the breath of death gathered towards it.
Just breathing like this, Xiaogu slowly returned to the warehouse. From a distance, he saw someone waiting there. When he got closer, he saw that it was a woman.
The woman saw Xiao Gu and quickly saluted and said hello: "Hello, Pharmacist Alora, I'm here to visit and ask to see the Death Summoner."
Pharmacist Alora? Xiaogu thought of the little boy who used a soul crystal to ask it to help collect medicine. Elora was the little boy's sister. She seemed to be healthy now, but what did Death Summoner mean? Xiaogu tilted his head in confusion.
"Your Excellency, Summoner, can you come out to meet me? Elora has something to discuss." Elora raised her voice, and with the volume of her words, it was obvious that she was not talking to Xiao Gu in front of her.
She honestly thought Xiao Gu was summoned and there was a death summoner behind her.
Unfortunately, after she shouted for a while, no Death Summoner came out to respond to her, and Xiao Gu looked at her inexplicably.
There was no other way, so Elora had no choice but to turn her target to Xiaogu and asked: "Little Skeleton, can you take me to find your master? You just went out to find him, right? I have something I want to discuss with him."
Xiaogu shook his head, did 'master' mean the king? It also wanted to find it, but it didn't know where the king was.
"Ah? No way? I have no other intention, I just want to discuss something with the Summoner," Elora said.
Xiaogu still shook his head.
Elora gave up in disappointment and asked, "Little skeleton, can I hire you?"
Xiaogu tilted his head.
"I want to refine the dragon potion, and I need some dragon tissue. I know where it is. You come with me to get it back, and I can give you half of it." Allura said.
Xiaogu shook his head and said: "I won't fight the dragon."
Elora cheered up: "Your Majesty, Summoner? Don't fight the dragon? Are you saying you won't attack the dragon? Of course, I went crazy and attacked the dragon. I know where the dragon's bones are, and the place where they were buried was destroyed by a group of people. They are occupied by cavemen, and I was injured because of these cavemen. As long as you, the Summoner, cooperate with me to drive away these cavemen, you will receive half of the dragon's bones."
Xiaogu nodded. It felt like the other party had misunderstood something, but there was no need to fight the dragon, so go ahead. The king said he couldn't fight the dragon.
It’s no wonder that Elora misunderstood. Ordinary villagers were ignorant and didn’t know how shocking it was for a gray-bone skeleton to move on its own. The gray-bone skeleton was not driven by a summoner and could only move based on instinct. How could it be capable of moving shelves? Tasks like rafters.
Now that Xiaogu is talking, she only thinks that the Summoner is controlling it, and she will not think that it is Xiaogu who is talking. A gray skeleton talking by itself is more terrifying than moving on its own.
On the way to the caveman's lair, Alora repeatedly warned: "The cave where the cavemen are entrenched is narrow on the outside and deep on the inside. I will first release a potion to make their hands and feet weak, but it will take time for the potion to weaken their hands and feet to take effect. Your The mission is to stop them in the hole before the potion takes effect, can you do it?"
Arriving outside the caveman's lair, Elora took a handful of hay sprinkled with potion and asked again: "These cavemen are the strongest race of cavemen - the divine hair cavemen. Each of them has a long hair on their head." They have a bunch of yellow magical hair, which is extremely hard, so don’t attack the top of their heads. Can you block it? If you can’t block it, we still have time now... uh."
Before Elora could finish her words, a caveman happened to emerge from the lair. As soon as he emerged, he was hit on the head with a small bone stick. The so-called extremely hard divine hair had no effect at all. The caveman directly glared at Turned over and fainted.
"This..." Elora didn't know what to say, so she quickly lit the hay in her hand and threw it into the nest. The cavemen inside were immediately smoked and ran out, and were beaten one by one with small bones at the entrance of the cave. Knocked out.
"I...was I deceived? You said that the hair on the forehead is the hardest when it comes?" Alora was shocked by the change of things.
Last time, she was chased for more than ten miles by several cavemen carrying sticks. She also received several sap blows and was seriously injured. How come it went so well this time?
Entering the cave, Elora quickly found a huge skeleton buried deep in the cave, but the skeleton was buried a bit deep and only part of it was exposed.
"It's buried too deep. Sir Summoner, is there any way you can dig out the skeleton?" Allura asked.
