Chapter 404 Demon Gold
"Demon blood has such an effect?"
Zhang Yang didn't quite believe it, even though the fact was right in front of him, because if the devil's blood really had such an effect, then there should be at least a dozen sapphire rune weapons in the warehouse.
"Wanderer system?"
Zhang Yang took out the black watch, looked at it carefully, and put it away again. Well, there was no need to care so much for the time being. Before having sufficient strength, excessive pursuit of the truth is not Bao Zheng, that is called a stupid dog, and a stupid dog who will not die a good death.
Next, Zhang Yang took out the notched long sword, and with a slight thought, 0.1 units of demon blood merged into it, but there was no change. Was it because the size of the long sword was different from that of the assassin's flying knife?
Zhang Yang simply absorbed all the remaining demon blood in one breath. The long sword suddenly became extremely hot, and a strong bloody smell emanated from it, like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Such changes naturally did not scare Zhang Yang. Instead, he observed very carefully, not only the long sword, but also the black watch. Sure enough, when the long sword changed, lines of garbled numbers flashed on the black watch, and it looked like some background program was being modified.
Zhang Yang thought to himself that it was true, but he pretended to know nothing. This method of enchantment was certainly not legal, but it should conform to the rules of this world. After all, whether it was the blood of demons or the blood of elves, they were all substances of this world. Now they were just expressed in a different way by the black watch.
It's like making diamonds from human ashes, they're essentially the same.
After a while, the notched long sword was enchanted successfully. The notch was still there, but it was still murderous and prickly, and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary item.
The properties change to——
Sapphire rune sword, spiritually enchanted weapon. Note, this is the highest level that mortal weapons can reach in this world.
Speed: 138 Slash: 50 Pierce: 20 Features: Armor Breaking "That's it."
Zhang Yang was very satisfied. As for the elf blood, he decided not to use it for the time being, because he felt that if he used it, the elves of this world would hold a grudge against him.
Next, Zhang Yang went to buy a scabbard and a brand new leather sheath for his flying knife. As for the damaged cavalry shield, it could still be used. As for the ancient empire javelin, he could use it normally by replacing the wooden pole.
The next morning, Zhang Yang and Tonks set off with the caravan.
This was a caravan from Boynbru, very wealthy. They had more than thirty carts filled with goods, and nine Jatu captives. They had encountered a Jatu raiding party while crossing the prairie, and after a hard battle they defeated them and captured these nine captives.
However, this also led to a significant reduction in the number of guards for the caravan, and they had to be recruited temporarily.
Including Tonks and Zhang Yang, this caravan currently has a total of 34 guards, including five adventurers and three Highland Swordsmen, who were recruited at the Lion Tavern yesterday.
In addition there were the caravan leader, the caravan steward, and thirty coachmen.
Outside the gate of Sarleon, there is a wide avenue leading directly to Castle Kelredan, which is the border between the Kingdom of Sarleon and the Dashar people. It is also the war zone where the two sides fight most frequently. It is also an area frequented by bandits, defeated soldiers, the Red Brotherhood, slave traders, heretics, the Knights of Dusk, cultists, and explorers.
It is very dangerous for a caravan to pass through there, but because of this, if the goods can be transported to New Gal or even the city of Toba further north, the profits can be several to dozens of times greater.
"If there is a chance in the future, we can also organize a caravan and make a lot of money from him."
Tonks and Zhang Yang walked side by side. He was still hungover and seemed to have not recovered from the woman's bed yet. He even started talking nonsense.
Zhang Yang just listened, but what he was thinking about was how to plan his own fighting style.
"Tonks, George, we need a scout."
The leader of the caravan came over and asked. George was an adventurer. He was the leader of their group and had a very arrogant attitude. However, they had reason to be arrogant. Not just any mercenary was qualified to be called an adventurer. It required outstanding strength and a reputation of no less than 100 points, and at least be in the top five in a competition.
Therefore, the price for hiring them is different from that for hiring Tonks and Zhang Yang. The price for the two of them is only 500 silver dinars, but the price for the five adventurers is 3,000 silver dinars.
"I'm sorry, Lusk, but unless you plan to renegotiate your compensation with us, I don't think we need to perform additional scouting work." George refused as a matter of course.
"Then I'll go, but I have a request. The caravan needs to lend me a good horse." Zhang Yang said at this time.
"Great, no problem." The caravan leader Lusk was delighted.
Zhang Yang nodded to Tonks, handed his warhorse to him, and rode a grassland horse from the caravan quickly towards the front of the road.
He now has level 5 riding skills, and can run very fast even on a prairie horse. While running like this, Zhang Yang also tries to find a balance point.
After running two or three miles in one breath, Zhang Yang suddenly pulled out an assassin's flying knife while running quickly and threw it at a small tree about ten steps away.
"Whoa!"
Reining his warhorse, he shook his head. Throwing on a horse was obviously different from throwing on the ground, especially when running fast.
The flying knife, which should have hit the target every time, missed its target by at least one meter.
After getting off the horse and picking up the assassin's throwing knife, Zhang Yang continued to practice. He was planning to use the sapphire rune throwing knife as his ultimate move. Especially when combined with his level 5 riding skills, he could quickly launch a fatal blow to the enemy on the battlefield.
But if you don’t practice your accuracy well, it won’t work.
For the whole morning, Zhang Yang changed horses several times and practiced hundreds of times in various directions, angles, distances, and speeds. Combined with his original throwing foundation, he really mastered some skills. When the horse was not going very fast, he could almost hit the target with one throw out of three.
The caravan did not encounter any trouble throughout the day. It's not that there were no bandits. There were four or five small groups of bandits probing along the way. But with the caravan's escort force, they didn't dare to act rashly.
However, this situation will not last long. The further away from Sarion City, the more dangerous it will be.
In fact, when they set up camp in the evening, Zhang Yang encountered two mysterious guys while patrolling. They were wearing black robes and strange masks, and they were walking straight through the wilderness.
When Zhang Yang told the caravan leader Lusk about this, he was visibly shocked.
"Theo, are you showing any hostility? Those people are not easy to deal with. As long as they don't cause trouble for us, we should stay out of their business."
"Hey, another evil sacrifice is about to happen." Adventurer George laughed.
"I have seen this situation many times. They are heretical supplicants, messengers of the devil in the world. They have the ability to communicate with the devil. With just one spell, they will make you lose your will to fight, put down your weapons, and walk over obediently. You will also have to take off your clothes and lie on the altar. When you wake up again, you will find that your heart is missing."
"These damn bastards! Sooner or later I will kill them all." Tonks cursed while gnawing on a bone. He was lucky today because Zhang Yang happened to shoot a rabbit while practicing the assassin's throwing knife.
Zhang Yang didn't say anything else. He took the half rabbit handed to him by Tonks and started eating it.
Eventually, this incident became a topic of conversation in the caravan.
However, when the night was as dark as ink, Zhang Yang got up silently, avoided the caravan guards on watch, and sneaked into the wilderness. His target was the two heretic supplicants, but this had nothing to do with heroism, nor was it a desire to eliminate harm for the people, but the Wanderer System suddenly gave a prompt.
"Try to find the altar of the heretic supplicant, destroy it, and take the demon gold inside."
After walking about four or five miles in the direction where the two heretic supplicants had left, a little fire appeared ahead. As we got closer, we could hear strange human voices murmuring.
Zhang Yang listened carefully for a moment, paying special attention to his surroundings to prevent any ambush. But perhaps because the two heretical supplicants were particularly confident, he did not notice the ambush. However, there were four figures next to the simple altar.
Two of them were naturally heretical supplicants, and the other two were actually heretical worshippers. As for the altar, there was a figure tied to it.
Zhang Yang hesitated for a moment, but continued to sneak forward. Finally, when he was about 40 meters close to the altar, he slowly pulled out all five ancient empire javelins. This was the confidence that gave him the courage to run away.
He steadied his breathing, grabbed an ancient empire javelin with his right hand, paused for a second, and then threw it out suddenly in the next moment. With a sound of breaking through the air, the head of a heretic worshipper exploded.
The remaining three heretics immediately rushed over shouting, but Zhang Yang remained calm, took the javelin in his hand and threw it repeatedly.
But these four javelins only injured one heretic worshipper, and the other three were blocked by the two heretic supplicants with their shields.
So Zhang Yang turned around and ran. The two heretic supplicants were overjoyed and chased him closely. But suddenly, Zhang Yang turned around and took advantage of the moment when the other party put down their shields. Three assassins threw knives directly at the face of a heretic supplicant. Blood splattered and the guy fell down with a scream.
The other heretic supplicant was startled and quickly raised his shield, while Zhang Yang immediately drew out his long sword and rushed forward viciously, as if he wanted to engage in close combat.
The heretic supplicant cursed loudly and rushed forward with his shield raised. The two sides approached each other quickly, but at this moment, Zhang Yang suddenly switched the knife to his left hand. A red assassin's flying knife flew out from his right hand, brushed the shield and was thrown into the left eye of the heretic supplicant.
This is a sapphire rune weapon, and it attacks the vital points. With just one strike, it cleared out most of the health of the heretic supplicant. Zhang Yang followed up with a wild swing of his sword, killing the opponent.
The experience value is as much as 545 points.
Then, Zhang Yang dealt with the remaining two heretics and finally breathed a sigh of relief. This time he had picked up a great bargain. Otherwise, if the opponents were riding on horses, or if he had not won by sneak attack, it would have been impossible to kill them.
But now he has been promoted to another level because of this.
Without bothering to check the spoils, Zhang Yang quickly dismantled the altar and indeed found a piece of demon gold inside.
"Devil's gold, a special item that can be used to communicate and summon creatures from other worlds."
