Chapter 16 Mage Society

The final bang of thunder woke up all the villagers, and only then did they realize what was going on.

Gulu, the sound of swallowing saliva.

Zhaolang waved his hand, blowing away the raised dust, and a long corpse appeared in the eyes of all the villagers.

Two sections of the body had been broken, and the second half was buried in the soil. The half of the head had been shot through a big hole by Lei Yin's fury.

The head of the corpse is covered with fangs, and the inside and outside are distributed in three layers like a spiral in the front section. There is no concept of facial features. It is like a water pipe, but the front section of the water pipe is full of fangs. It can be imagined Prey he crushes is ground up like a juicer and devoured.

"Xiao... Xiaohua... this... what is this?"

The old village head has lived for so long, so he has seen such a big scene. Back then, the monster that Zhaolang helped to deal with was just a wolf beast, the size of a human being, and that time Zhaolang came back with the dead body. I haven't even seen a battle scene, how can I expect it to be so exciting, it's more exciting than watching a 3D movie.

With two bangs, a giant creature fell down, and if this thing came out of the ground just now, that means it has been in the village all along! ?

Zhaohua patted the old village chief's hand and said: "This is a sand worm. It usually lives underground and only emerges when looking for food. Because it walks underground, so even if you are looking for demon fans, you will find it." Not to him."

"Then...then how do you know there is something?"

Zhaohua said with a smile: "Because of its large size, it will loosen the soil when it moves, and the ground will bulge out wherever the sand worm passes by, and it will damage the roots of the plants when it passes by. I found that the soil here is very soft, it just rained a few days ago, it is not like this, and the surrounding flowers and plants are already dead, and many of them have withered, which is unusual in summer."

The Sand Worm is one of the Zerg monsters in the Baiyun Mountains in the Demon City. Because it can burrow into the ground and it is difficult to defend against, it requires a special underground detector to detect it. Therefore, there is a special mention of the characteristics of this monster in class. Zhaohua naturally knew.

The most embarrassing thing at this time is Zhaochao who said that he had solved the case. He was still holding the stick with the condom in his hand, and his face turned red and then pale. Fortunately, he did not make a big mistake. , that would be miserable.

"It's a good thing you are here, it's a good thing." The old village chief was afraid for a while.

"Xiaohua, is the voice heard at my house the same, or you can help me to find out."

"Yeah, the one at my house is the same, let's go and have a look."

"And our family."

Father and son Zhaohua knew that there was only one sand worm in each place, and sand worms were not monsters living in groups, but the villagers could not feel at ease, so Zhaolang and Zhaohua listened to the villagers in the village talking about strange things, while The investigation of the problem was not completed until late at night.

Fortunately, Zhaohua had finished all the meditation in the morning.

Except for the sand bug at the beginning, other things, for example, the vegetables in the vegetable field died inexplicably because the roots were soaked due to too much rain in rainy days, and the chickens raised at home would lose a few chickens every once in a while. The son of the family caught him and secretly roasted and ate it, but it was not the work of a demon.

"Eh? By the way, why didn't I see Gouzi, what about Gouziren? During Chinese New Year last year, he told me that he was going to get married this year. It's been half a year, but I haven't received an invitation. If I don't invite you, I won't count ah."

Zhao Lang suddenly said to the old village chief that the dog he was talking about was the nickname of the villager Zhaogou, who was three years younger than Zhao Lang and was Zhao Lang's playmate when he was a child, although Zhao Lang seldom returned to the village after he became a mage. , but the relationship between the two is still very good.

After hearing what Zhaolang said, the old village head and the others showed unspeakable expressions, as if hesitating to speak, Zhaolang's heart skipped a beat. problem occurs.

The old village chief also knew that there was no way to hide it, so he said: "Last two months, Gouzi encountered a demon while transporting goods up the mountain and died."

! ! ! ! !

During the Chinese New Year, when Zhaolang heard that Gouzi was going to get married, he told him not to work too hard. The money can be earned slowly, but he didn't expect that it would be gone in just a few months.

After Zhaolang was silent for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Village chief, money is endless. The business of transporting goods is indeed dangerous. You only live once. Forty percent can indeed make a lot of money for our village, but the villagers Life is not guaranteed. Why don't we give up our share."

The share mentioned by Zhaolang is the proportion of cargo delivered to the military mage.

The military mages in Congcheng have built base fortresses on the mountainside to resist demons, guard the land, and guard the people. But there is nothing on the mountain, so it needs to be transported from the county.

For example, several tons of drinking water, vegetables, meat, daily consumables such as shampoo and toothpaste are needed in a week, and ice cubes need to be transported in summer. It requires people to carry their hands halfway up the mountain, which is not the most difficult and dangerous.

The most dangerous thing is going down the mountain. If it’s just living consumables, it’s better to find a few mages to carry them. More often, you need to move the materials of monsters down the mountain.

For example, the sand worm that was just killed by Zhaolang, his outer skin secretion is the lubricant of military chariots. Military mages kill monsters every day. The materials on these monsters are the basis for the survival of a town. Material is the most important resource of the entire mage society.

There are very few treasures of heaven, material and earth, and the source of strengthening the mage's power is the monster itself.

But these materials are not only needed by mages, but also by monsters themselves, which makes it easy for workers to carry them to attract monsters.

The distance between the military mage and the town is called the sub-safety zone, which means that it is generally safe but not absolute, and there will still be monsters, which means it is not suitable for human survival.

Zhaolang is in the business of monster materials, and he was born in Lu County, and he killed monsters when he was young. His reputation gave his company full authority to act as an agent for the sales of monster materials in the military area of ​​Lu County.

There are six villages in Lu County. Zhaojia Village accounts for 40% of the material transportation tasks, and the remaining villages share the remaining 60%. This is why Zhaojia Village is more prosperous than other villages.

"No!" Zhaotian stood up nervously when he heard Zhaolang's words, and said, "Brother Lang, our village is developing now and needs a lot of funds. Last year we built bridges and land, and the year before that we all had a lot of money. We are building a house, and the village borrowed a lot of money from the bank. If our share decreases, the bank will come and press us to pay back the money, and we won’t be able to pay it back.”

Zhao Lang looked at Zhao Tian who was extremely excited, and then glanced at Zhao Chao who was also very nervous with his hands clasped. He guessed that the reason for Zhao Tian's excitement was not limited to this.

Zhaochao is the hope of the whole village, and Zhaolang has also paid attention to his results. The No. 1 Middle School is out of luck, and the No. 6 Middle School is fine, which means that the awakening of the mage is done.

Master, too much money. Zhaolang knows better than them how much money mages burn.

Stardust magic weapon is expensive and cannot be bought, but it can be rented. There are such shops in several big cities in the demon capital, which rent out stardust magic tools for 100,000 a week. Xingzi controls the controller, 150,000 a week. Deng Le's Lightning Guidance Jade, a one-time consumable, is priced at 50,000 from internal relations and 200,000 on the black market.

If you burn money one by one, it will take a long time to burn hundreds of thousands, but for a mage, hundreds of thousands will be gone after a single swiping, which is faster than buying a house.

So Zhao Tian is not so excited because he is paving the way for his son who is about to awaken the mage.
