Chapter 2360 The Origin of Dzi Beads
Chapter 2360 The Origin of Dzi Beads
In the stinking pit, Kangka fell silent as he looked at the intact human and sheep corpses in front of him.
He remembered that the news from above not long ago stated that a group of spirit-created ratmen had escaped from the Falcon Alchemy Room.
This man-sheep must have been killed by the rat-man.
"Biaozi! Please don't get into any trouble!"
Kangka's face was full of anxiety, because the spirits of the goat tribe were not that strong. If they really encountered a ratman, they would either kill it with one blow or turn around and run away!
Kangka's nose tightened: "There is a smell of blood in the air. This bloody smell comes from those slaves. It must be Biaozi who did it."
"Wait for me, Biaozi! I'm coming to save you right away."
Kangka followed the direction where the smell of blood came from.
In the Flame Mountain space.
The rat people jumped and chattered non-stop.
"Since you are so happy, I will leave first!"
Before he finished speaking, the rat leader jumped onto Lu Yun's shoes and said, "Let's get out!"
"The temperature in your space is really a bit unbearable for us rats!"
"Huh? I thought you were all cheering for getting out of the stinking pit! Feelings are so hot that you can't stand still!"
Lu Yun felt relieved when he saw the expressions of these rat people, which looked more uncomfortable than if they had eaten shit.
He continued to practice martial arts, and with the help of his fingers, he brought the rat man away from the Flame Mountain space.
"Humans! Let's follow your plan! We rats will follow you. If you need help, just chirp twice!"
"OK, no problem!"
Lu Yun said this and walked out of the pipe.
Because of the delay caused by the rat man, at least half an hour had passed.
As soon as I came out of the pipe, I saw a middle-aged man standing anxiously at the entrance of the large pipe opposite, pacing back and forth anxiously.
"Sir! You finally came out. I was so miserable waiting for you!"
"I encountered some problems and was delayed for a while! Let's go!"
Lu Yun leaped up and quickly left with the middle-aged man.
Just like before, this large pipeline not only has a worse environment, but also has many branches extending in all directions.
Lu Yun couldn't understand it. Was he dissatisfied with the fact that he had too many resources for expansion? Why did he build so many forked roads?
As if seeing Lu Yun's confusion, the middle-aged man explained: "Sir! The reason why the pipelines are built in all directions is, first, to be able to hold more, and second, to open more stinking pits to attract other races to come and search for law crystals!"
"In recent years, for some reason, the frequency of the Law Crystals produced by the Eye of the Storm has been decreasing, and the quantity is also decreasing year by year! This has caused the alchemists who used to spend lavishly to save materials. However, as long as they do experiments, they need these Law Crystals, and a large amount of them!"
"So they came up with an idea - recycling! After all, every experiment will leave a lot of crystals in the wastewater, and if they are used, the amount will be quite large."
"Don't tell me that's where the stinking pit came from!"
Lu Yun took over the conversation.
"Your Excellency is really smart. That's how the stinking pit came about. Under the speculation of those alchemists, many races were indeed tempted and joined the ranks of crystal diggers. There were not enough monks and not enough meat, so disputes arose!"
"And those weaker races whose military power is not as good as other races are jealous of the crystallization of laws, so they came up with a shady trick, which is to expand the sewers. Over time, a structure like a maze has been formed!"
Lu Yun: "..."
"It's crazy! Haven't they thought about the consequences of doing this?"
"I've long been blinded by the huge profits, so I wouldn't think so much! But in recent years, the hidden dangers have become more and more obvious! Because of the construction of the sewers in the capital, now nearly half of the land on the Sky Island Ring has been polluted by wastewater!"
"Without the Dzi Bead, even the strongest creatures would not survive more than a day, and would become depressed and self-harm and die!"
The middle-aged man sighed and said.
"Back to the question, what exactly is this Dzi bead? Why does it have the effect of calming the mind?"
Lu Yun asked curiously, even so, this Dzi bead can still withstand the burning of strange fire. It looks like it is made of wood, but it feels as cold as jade in the hand.
"It is rumored that this Dzi bead is the fruit of a tree in the eye of the storm! I don't know if it is true or not!"
As the middle-aged man spoke, he took out a bead from his arms that was only the size of a little fingernail. Not only was it smaller than Lu Yun's, but it was also dull yellow in color, and had many bumps and no luster at all!
"Sir! This is the Dzi Bead!"
"There are different types of Dzi beads? I've seen that the Dzi beads in the hands of those goat monsters are much bigger than yours!"
"Indeed! Sir, Dzi beads are divided into four grades: heaven, earth, black, and yellow. The Dzi bead in the goat monster's hand is of the yellow grade, while the Dzi bead in my hand is of the lowest quality and is not even ranked in the yellow grade."
The middle-aged man explained.
Lu Yun nodded and had a more specific understanding of the Sky Island Ring.
"It's over! It's over!" The middle-aged man suddenly stopped and kept muttering: "Sir! Something bad has happened!"
"Little one! I was so busy explaining to you just now that I forgot to look at the road. Now... now I don't even know where I am!"
"Don't worry! Just keep going forward! We'll soon reach the storage pool guarded by the lizardmen."
Lu Yun thought it was something else! He was shocked. After all the trouble, he found a road. With the group of ratmen following him, it was difficult for Lu Yun to get lost.
"Ah? Zundu is fake!"
The middle-aged man was skeptical.
"You don't even believe what I say?"
"I dare not! Sir! I didn't mean it!"
"Why don't you hurry up? It will be over after 3:45 PM!"
"Yes! Your lord!"
The two men quickened their pace, and after turning two forks in the road, a large group of villagers covered in dirt came into view.
On the way, the middle-aged man had already introduced to Lu Yun that this operation was a joint operation of the twelve stinking pits, with nearly five thousand people in total.
But when Lu Yun looked around, there were less than a thousand people at most, and most of them were old, young and women.
Seeing the middle-aged man and Lu Yun coming, a man walked out from the group of nearly a thousand villagers.
"Brother Wang! Why are there only the two of you? Where are the other villagers in Boyu Village? "
"Also, who is this? He shouldn't be from your Boyu Village, right? He looks unfamiliar! Was he just captured by the sheep-headed monster?"
There was a hint of unkindness in his tone.
"Brother Yang! This is our savior!"
The middle-aged man excitedly introduced Lu Yun to these people, describing him in exaggerated terms.
Lu Yun, who was standing by, felt a little embarrassed when he heard this!
