In the wild land south of Wugan City, by the stream of a village.
A hornless man collapsed in despair with his eyes wide open and clutching his chest. Red and black blood flowed from the wound on his chest that was cut by a knife, and the blood flowed into the stream.
Looking further ahead, several corpses were soaked in the stream, and some of them were already swollen.
Several masked soldiers with horns approached, and a man who looked like a leader asked, "Is everyone here?"
The other soldiers held up their weapons that were still dripping blood, and replied, "They are all here, not one left."
"Go! We have to rush to the next village."
"Head, don't the corpses here need to be burned?"
"That's none of our business, someone will deal with it later."
These horned soldiers stepped on the backs of the beasts and quickly left the hornless village full of dead bodies.
On the other side, the horned young man who came out of Alan's shop wrapped a bone knife in animal skin and put his back on his back, and went out through the south gate.
He went to the city to repair the knife and buy a temporary weapon, and when he achieved his goal, he rushed to the place where his companions were waiting at the fastest speed.
"You're finally here! Hurry up, we finally found its lair. Zhaluo went to see it just now. There are at least two cubs in that cave."
"Is the female beast there?" The young man quickened his pace and joined his companions.
"Zaro led the female beast away, and let us take care of the male beast." The brown-haired and black-horned youth said helplessly.
"What nonsense! How can he do it alone?" The young man was slightly angry.
The brown-haired young man said helplessly: "He wants to prove that he is better than you."
The young man frowned tightly, he didn't want to take that troublemaker with him at all, but he had a friendship with his parents, and his father repeatedly asked him to take care of him, so he couldn't refuse.
The two rushed to the vicinity of the cave, where three other people were hiding.
The five people lay down in the grass nest and talked in low voices. After learning about the general situation of the cave, the young man saw that Zha Luo hadn't come back, so he had to stand up and say, "I'm going to find him. Don't do anything, wait until I come back." .”
"How about we go together?"
"No, you just..."
"Roar!"
Boom boom boom, the ground trembled.
The faces of the five people changed, the young man turned around and looked into the distance, and saw a man with red horns running fast in front of him, followed by a giant beast.
"Buhua, the female beast is here! Kill it quickly!" The red-horned man who was running desperately saw the young man was overjoyed and rushed towards him.
"Idiot! Disperse quickly!" Young Buhua cursed in a low voice, ordering others.
The other four had been cooperating with the young man for a long time, and they dispersed tacitly as soon as they heard the order.
The brown-haired youth scolded as he ran: "Didn't he lure the female beast away, why did he bring it back?"
"Oops! The male beast was also alarmed, run!" The other person had been paying attention to the dozing male beast, and when he saw the male beast get up, he was so frightened that he ran in the opposite direction.
The four moved in four directions, Bu Hua quickly untied the strap, took off the bone knife behind him, shook off the animal skin and rushed towards the female animal. He wanted to create an opportunity for Zha Luo to escape!
"Run to the east!" Bu Hua and Zha Luo shouted as they passed by.
Zha Luo had already been chased by the giant beast so panicked, he couldn't distinguish east, west, north and south for a while, and bumped into the beast head-on, "Ah!"
The situation was extremely critical. Seeing that he was still some distance away from the female beast, Bu Hua didn't have time to think about it. He turned around and threw the bone knife at the eyes of the male beast, and at the same time turned back and threw himself at Zhaluo, pushing him down. Hold him and roll all the way.
"Roar!" The huge male beast roared in extreme pain.
Bu Hua deeply hated that he didn't have a weapon in his hand. He didn't know if the bone knife just now could pierce the skin of the giant beast. You know, the bone knife with the fifth-level bone treasure he had before couldn't cause many wounds to the opponent. The knife was broken by the thick horn on the opponent's forehead.
They didn't come here to hunt adult giant beasts, which were not easy to kill at all, they came here to find opportunities to steal cubs.
The male beast whose appearance was disfigured by the bone knife trampled on the nearby grass frantically, trying to find the horned human who plotted against it.
Hearing that the voice of the male beast was wrong, Buhua rolled away for a certain distance, and looked up at the male beast according to Zhaluo. He was both surprised and happy to see it. Surprised that he injured the male beast, the other party might want to fight him forever; happy that the ordinary bone knife seemed to be much sharper than he thought, although it didn't hurt the male beast's eyes, it made its thick-skinned To open a big wound.
Buhua's eyes fell to the ground, and the bone knife should have fallen there, but... it was impossible to get it back, and the female beast came after it.
At this moment, the cub's scream sounded.
Bu Hua turned his head suddenly, and suddenly saw the brown-haired young man holding a cub running away in the opposite direction of them.
Seeing that the child was stolen, the two giant beasts didn't care about hurting their enemies. The male beast roared furiously and turned around to chase the brown-haired youth, while the female beast rushed into the cave and picked up the remaining cub. Only then did he chase the brunette youth in the direction in which he was fleeing.
Buhua knew that his companion was taking a risk to help them, so he rushed to the grass he was looking at without hesitation—hoping that the knife was not broken, he didn't want to face those two giant beasts empty-handed.
Knife found! There appears to be no damage. Buhua was overjoyed, and chased after him with a knife in his hand. He had to slow down the speed of the two giant beasts so that the brown-haired youth could distance themselves.
"Wait for me!" Zhaluo was afraid that the two giant beasts would return, so he quickly got up and chased after them.
Buhua hated him for revealing more than enough, so he ran faster and faster.
On the way, Buhua harassed the two giant beasts again and again. He was flexible and fast, and he would often run away with a single slash, causing the behemoths to turn around and chase after him. When chasing despicable humans who stole children, he jumped out and repeated the above actions.
To his great joy, the sharpness and toughness of the bone knife he bought casually exceeded his imagination. He chased and slashed two giant beasts seven or eight times, but the blade was still intact.
"Dan Dun! Throw away the cub! Throw it away!" Buhua saw that the distance was right, and the other four had chased after him, and immediately yelled at the brown-haired youth.
The brown-haired youth understood in seconds, turned around and threw the cub to the bushes in the distance.
The cub screamed miserably, the male roared wildly, and the mother ran towards the bush where the child fell.
Just such a little time difference, Buhua slashed at the male beast's ankle with a knife, and the brown-haired youth also opened his bow and arrows and shot three arrows at the male beast, and the other four also attacked the male beast at the same time.
"Roar!" The besieged behemoth was extremely angry, arching its head and about to attack.
"Crack!" The bone knife hit the giant animal's ankle bone, and the blade got stuck in the bone and almost couldn't be pulled out.
Bu Hua was reluctant to part with this sharp sword, so he pulled out the bone knife with all his strength, and then fled to the direction of the brown-haired youth, "Run!"
The five of them ran wildly again.
Zha Luo, who was behind, gave up halfway after chasing him, and ran to the camp early.
Half an hour later, the six people got together at the camp, and each other stretched their legs and gasped for breath. Bu Hua and Dan Dun sat on the ground on the spot, exhausted.
"It's dangerous." Shan Dun wiped his face.
Others also sat down.
Zha Luo was the first to come. I don't know if it was to appease everyone's anger, or because he knew he had done something wrong and wanted to make up for it. This young master took the initiative to fetch water from the stream near the camp. When he saw everyone coming back, he immediately sent a water bag .
Neither Bu Hua nor Shan Dun answered, and Zha Luo felt a little resentful.
Another young man from the Red Horn Tribe also took a few sips from the water bag because Zha Luo was from the same clan. The other two also took turns to drink from the water bag, and the last person to drink frowned and muttered, "Why does the water taste a bit strange?"
"Maybe it's because the weather is getting hotter?" Another person said.
The drinker muttered a few words, stuffed the skin bag and put it aside, and stopped drinking.
Seeing that three of the five people "forgave" him, Zhaluo immediately put his guilt behind him, and in a blink of an eye, he walked around Bu Hua, looked at him provocatively, and even reached out to grab his knife : "Isn't your knife broken? You just bought it? It seems to be better than your previous knife."
Buhua backed away, preventing Zhaluo from catching the bone knife, and he himself looked at the bone knife that had made great achievements before. The bone of the giant beast was too hard. When he pulled out the bone knife, he found that the blade seemed to be missing a piece. small pieces.
"It doesn't seem to be all that bad. The edge of the knife is broken, and I have to go to the city to repair it. I told you to change to a high-level bone treasure. If you listen to me, what's so scary about those two queluo beasts? If It wasn't that my ninth-level treasured sword was taken by my father to be upgraded by the great witch sacrifice, this time we don't have to bother at all." Zhaluo muttered meanly.
Single pouted. The few other people didn't say anything. They all knew the identity of the red-horned youth Zha Luo. Although they hated him, no one wanted to offend him. The only person here who had the same status as Zha Luo was Bu Hua, but Bu Hua didn't like this guy who was holding back. It is also more caring than exclusion.
Buhua didn't bother to talk to him. He took out the animal skin from the bone bracelet and carefully wiped the blade. While wiping, he suddenly let out a sound of surprise.
The brown-haired young man Shan Dun was sitting next to him, and raised his head when he heard the sound, "What's wrong?"
"This knife..." Buhua was puzzled.
Zhaluo bluffed again, pointed at the bone knife and stared wide-eyed, shouting loudly: "God Pan'a! This knife is, actually, recovering by itself? Buhua, did you buy a high-grade bone treasure?"
The others looked at the blade together. Although they only glanced at it just now, they all clearly remembered that the edge of the knife near the top was missing a big part of the little finger, but now, they could see the gap with the naked eye. Disappear in a little bit!
At this time, Yan Mo had already gone to Master Ivan's mansion.
As the store manager Izzy said, he didn't receive any preferential treatment.
After Izzy introduced his identity, a waiter came out, took him to a small courtyard, and explained casually: "From now on, you and your slaves will live here, but it's not for you to live forever. .According to the rules of the Fuchu, new apprentices can live for free for the first three months, but after three months, if there is no special instructions from the adults, you must pay a monthly accommodation fee of 2,000 bone coins. For the first three months, you can Go to the big kitchen to eat. After three months, you will also need bone coins to eat, and you can also start fires in the courtyard by yourself."
The stepdaughter and the queen lion were speechless. The monthly accommodation fee was two thousand bone coins, which was an unimaginable figure for them.
Although Yan Mo also felt that the accommodation fee of 2,000 bone coins was too high, he believed that since Master Ivan dared to say this, he definitely did not simply want to earn the apprentice's accommodation fee.
Sure enough, the waiter continued to introduce with a blank face: "As apprentices, you can receive a batch of materials for free every month for the first three months. The materials can be used for bone refining in the early stage, and can also be used for making tools in the later stage. Three After a month, you can buy materials from the Fuzhong at a low price to refine the bone tools, and the refined bone tools can be sold to the Fuli, and the Fuli will charge a higher purchase price than the shops outside."
Yan Mo thinks this kind of motivation is good, and it can be used on the senior students in Jiuyuan in the future.
The waiter pointed to the wall, "There is a map of the palace hanging there. You can go to the green places as you like, and the blue places need permission from the steward. No one is allowed to enter the red and black places without the permission of an adult. If you make a mistake Those who are lucky will be expelled from the mansion immediately, and those who are unlucky will all fall into the devil's abyss."
After the waiter introduced these, he turned around and left without even saying goodbye.
The queen daughter and the queen lion are used to the arrogance of the man with horns, but Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan don't pay attention to it at all.
No one introduced the courtyard facilities, so Yan Mo took the initiative to visit them.
The yard is not big, but there is no shortage of master rooms, slave rooms, workshops, kitchens, etc. Among them, the workshop facilities for refining bone tools are particularly well-equipped, and there are many tools inside.
It was almost evening, so Yan Mo took his stepdaughter and Houshi to the big kitchen for dinner according to the map. After a busy day, he and Yuan Zhan could bear it, but the stomachs of the stepdaughter and Houshi were already growling.
The big kitchen is not very far from their courtyard, and it is just around a small garden. From this, it can be judged that the courtyard they live in is very peripheral, but Yan Mo is very satisfied. It is convenient to eat, and they will not live here anyway. long time.
The large kitchen is attached to the dining room, and there are about twenty long wooden tables in two rows, which is a bit like an old bar. There are people busy behind the heavy wooden bar. The kitchen is still inside, and there is a big window to pass dishes.
It was probably time to eat, and there were still quite a few people in the restaurant, most of whom were horned people.
The queen daughter and the queen lion stood outside the door and dared not go in. They had been to Wugan City many times, but they had never entered a restaurant, not only because of the high prices inside, but mainly because of the atmosphere that made them dare not enter.
"Go in, what's the matter?" Yan Mo called back to the two of them.
The two mustered up the courage to take a step inside.
"Bang!" The rear lion was knocked back two steps.
The person who bumped into him started to curse: "Which family's slaves don't have eyes, is this a place where your slaves can come?"
Yan Mo: ... There are such people everywhere.
The queen lion was angry, and the queen daughter puffed up her chest, "We are not slaves."
"Not slaves, and this is not a place for you! Get out!"
The queen daughter and the rear lion did not dare to offend the horned man, they clenched their fists and were about to retreat.
Yan Mo's face darkened.
Yuan Zhan let go of Yan Mo's hand, took a step forward, grabbed the horned man by the neck and threw it back.
"boom!"
"It's sputtering."
"Ah! What's the matter? What happened?"
The horned man was smashed onto the long table, and one table was knocked over by him, all the pots and pans on it flew up, and there were screams and curses.
This turn of events was so sudden that no one would have imagined that the Hornless Man would take the initiative to attack so quickly and effectively.
The companion of the horned man who was thrown out was taken aback for a moment, then furiously surrounded Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo together.
"You hornless pigs! You are so brave! How dare you do something in Master Ivan's mansion, come and arrest them!" A middle-aged man with red horns and brown skin yelled angrily.
The Fuwei came over upon hearing the sound, together with the spectators in the restaurant, they surrounded the four of them.
The horned man who was thrown out rushed over like an angry bull, "I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you, you dirty and despicable hornless slave! Get out of the way!"
At the same time, Buhua and other six youths rushed back to Wugan City as quickly as possible.
At the gate of the city, the six people dipped their hands into the water basin respectively. The water in the water basin did not change color. Zhaluo was impatient and urged everyone to curse.
The city guard saw that the six people were all dressed up bravely, so he didn't dare to offend them too much, and he didn't dare to say anything when he saw that they just touched the water and raised their hands.
The six of them passed the verification together, and hurried to A Lan's bone shop.
The store clerk saw that the young man who bought the knife and left had returned, thinking that he thought the knife was too expensive, so he was a little nervous.
Another clerk at the Wujiaoren shop saw that his colleague didn't move, so he had no choice but to go forward, "Guests, what kind of bone utensils do you want to buy?"
Bu Hua glanced at the wall where his knife was hung before, "Where's the bone sword?"
"What?" The hornless guy was still a little confused.
Bu Hua raised his eyes, saw the shop assistant from before, and immediately called him: "Hey, come here!"
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, the guy just laughed and said, "Guest, are you here to get that bone knife? It will take five days..."
"Don't talk nonsense! Let me ask you, where is the bone sword hanging with this knife?"
"what?"
Bu Hua hurriedly said, "Didn't you say that there are two of the same bone tool? I bought this bone knife, and it works pretty well. No, my partner also wants to buy a bone sword, so I'll take it with me." Here he is. Where is the bone sword?"
When the guy heard that he didn't want to return the product, he immediately regained his energy, and said with a busy face: "Guest, you are a step late, just a while ago, the bone sword was just sold! It would be great if you came a moment earlier !"
"Who did you sell it to?"
"Uh, this..."
"Who did you sell it to?" Zha Luo grabbed the clerk by the collar and asked urgently.
Buhua frowned, the item had already been sold, wouldn't Zhaluo make the shopkeeper suspicious by doing this? Thinking of this, Buhua opened Zhaluo and smiled at the shop assistant, "My bone knife is just like what you introduced, it is indeed sharper than ordinary bone knives, do you know which bone craftsman made this bone knife?" Made it? I want to ask him to make custom weapons."
The store clerk rolled his eyes. If he said that it was made by a man without horns, would the customer run away immediately
Seeing him like this, Bu Hua didn't understand anything, so he immediately took out a handful of bone coins and stuffed them into his hand, "I want to see that bone tool maker, and I want to talk to him face to face."
Buhua's request is not too much, many custom-made bone tools will choose to meet directly with the bone tool maker.
The store clerk put away the bone coins as quickly as possible, and said with a smile: "Customer, please wait a moment. I'll go and ask the bone maker if he has time."
