Chapter 68 The deal is concluded
The ability to bury underground is not uncommon in the Star Dou Great Forest, but no race has ever been able to bury as secretly as the Zerg, so that even a hundred thousand year old soul beast could hardly detect it.
When attacking, this method may not have much impact, but if used for defense, it will be like a landmine. Unless the enemy chooses to plow the land while moving, there is no way to counter it.
Although she does not yet have the ability to provide security services for a tribe with a large number of hundred thousand year old soul beasts, she should be able to do so after she returns home and integrates the abilities.
"Be our bodyguard? How many soul beasts over ten thousand years old can you mobilize?" Zhu Ningbing felt helpless. The little human girl in front of her really didn't know her place. She even said something like contracting the security service for their tribe.
"About... ten thousand?" Leng Xiyao looked at the Zerg's technology tree. She originally wanted to upgrade the basic unit, the Zergling. If it were to be upgraded to level five, which would be a level of ten thousand years, it would require about seven million hive points. Each subsequent upgrade would have to double the number, and she couldn't afford to upgrade it too high now.
After being upgraded to the fifth level, each Zergling requires 500 nest points to hatch. In other words, in order to obtain the opponent's elixir, Leng Xiyao will have to wipe out a quarter of the nest points that she hasn't even warmed up yet.
"Ten thousand?" Zhu Ningbing was almost laughing because of Leng Xiyao. If the other party had ten thousand ten-thousand-year soul beasts, would they still need to come to her to ask for a mere ninth-level elixir?
Generally speaking, 60% of a large tribe are hundred-year soul beasts and thousand-year soul beasts in their infancy, the next 25% are teenagers over ten thousand years old and under fifty thousand years old, 14% are the middle-aged generation over fifty thousand years old, and 1% are ancestors over one hundred thousand years old.
The total number of the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat clan is about 30,000, which means that this race that has survived from ancient times to the present day has only a little over 10,000 people with more than 10,000 years of cultivation. In other words, if Leng Xiyao really has those followers she said, then the size of her family cannot be much smaller than that of the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat clan.
Is it really necessary to humble yourself and beg others for a magical medicine?
"Of course, if you are willing to reach an agreement with me, then I can send 10,000 ten-thousand-year soul beasts over in a month. It won't be too late to discuss the specific details then." Before coming, Leng Xiyao had a deep understanding of this tribe. Xiaoli had a very high opinion of them, that is, they have an excellent reputation, have been based in the Star Dou Great Forest for tens of thousands of years, and have never broken their promises.
Therefore, Leng Xiyao took out all the soul bones she had just seized without hesitation and placed them on the ground, saying: "If you don't trust me, then you should trust these soul bones, right? I can use these soul bones as collateral in exchange for six ninth-level spiritual herbs. Even if I run away with this kind of transaction, you will still make a lot of money, right?"
Zhu Ningbing looked at these soul bones, and the cat in her hand leapt to the ground, examining these soul bones from close range.
Looking at the young woman who looked like a puppet, Leng Xiyao understood. She was originally a little confused as to why the other party had a human body but had not transformed. Now it seems that this should be a trick of the other party, and her true form is still a cat.
"Hmm, are they from the Human-Faced Demon Spider clan? There are also two hundred thousand year old external soul bones." The three-tailed black cat on the ground touched the soul bones with its claws and muttered to itself.
After confirming the authenticity, the black cat returned to the young woman's arms. The young woman nodded and said to the others, "Okay, take her in to select six ninth-level spiritual herbs."
Leng Xiyao felt extremely distressed. Although she had obtained permission, these soul bones were her treasures. She had originally hoped to exchange them for a few that were ten thousand years old, but she had no idea that the other party didn't care about soul bones at all.
If we don’t hand over the two hundred thousand year old soul bones, I’m afraid the purpose of this trip will be difficult to achieve.
Hearing the order from the clan leader, the cats that were originally escorting Leng Xiyao suddenly changed their attitude and led the way: "Dear guest, please follow us."
Leng Xiyao nodded, signaled Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai to stay here and wait for her, then she walked inside carrying Xiao Li.
"Wait a minute." Unexpectedly, Zhu Ningbing stopped Leng Xiyao and said, "This little fox can't go in. It has a criminal record."
Leng Xiyao understood as soon as she heard it. It was estimated that Xiaoli had caused trouble to the precious land of the civet cat clan many times before, so that the other clan leader had been eyeing him.
"Xiao Li, wait for me here, I will be back soon." Leng Xiyao put Xiao Li in her arms and comforted him softly.
Xiaoli nodded obediently, jumped up and lay on Xiaohei's head, indicating that she could rest assured.
Seeing this, Leng Xiyao followed the big cats and went in.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go back."
After watching Leng Xiyao enter, Zhu Ningbing put away a few soul bones and walked towards the main city with her sister and daughter.
"Sister, you don't really believe that this human can provide such power, do you?" On the way, Zhu Ningyu looked at her sister with a smile on her face and asked in disbelief.
Just as there are high and low levels of hundred thousand year soul beasts, there are also high and low levels of ninth-level spiritual medicines. If the other party takes away six low-grade or medium-grade ninth-level spiritual medicines, then this wave is naturally a profit. But if they take away high-grade, top-grade or even semi-god-level spiritual medicines, then this wave is a huge loss.
A hundred thousand year old soul bone may seem very rare, but that is only for humans. Zhu Ningbing alone is equipped with a complete set of seven soul bones that are more than five hundred thousand years old, all of which were passed down from many ancestors.
Even Zhu Ningyu, the second in command, has a soul bone age of no less than 300,000 years. With the blessing of this set of soul bones, their combat power can directly surpass the enemy age of nearly 200,000 years.
Of course, if the enemy group is more powerful, then the armor on their bodies will also enhance the power even more, and they still cannot defeat them. However, there will definitely be no problem in bullying humans who do not have armor on their bodies.
Therefore, even if it is a soul bone of 100,000 years, they don’t think highly of it.
"That's not the case. A hundred thousand year old external soul bones are still very popular in the human world." Zhu Ningbing's views are completely different from her sister's. She has a more thorough understanding of the human world. The number of soul bones obtained by humans through hunting is extremely rare. Once a soul bone appears on the market, it is basically sold out instantly.
If handled properly, the value of these soul bones would definitely not be lower than six ninth-grade top-quality spiritual medicines.
"Sister, you are still expecting that human to bring you some surprises, right? Are you counting on the soul beasts of other races to protect the family?" Zhu Ningyu looked at the absent-minded Zhu Ningbing and immediately revealed her inner thoughts.
