Chapter 44: Strike First



An hour later, Ling Tian came to the resource trading station again, but this time he was not looking for a lady, but to buy low-level beast crystals.

Although no one knows the true function of beast crystals, they are the best bait to lure zombies. The demand for them is quite high, so they are not difficult to find.

If he hadn't been unable to farm low-level monsters, he wouldn't have come to buy them. Moreover, the first-level monster crystals are much more expensive than the second-level monster crystals. Because the first-level monster area can only be entered by non-superpower people, the survivors who can't activate their superpowers and the captured slaves are mostly bought by the team or recruited back to farm first-level monster crystals. Although there is a huge gap in combat power, it is not difficult to equip a set of quasi-level alloy equipment.

In the entire Crimson Base, the Xuanwu Camp is the richest, and this is its most important source of income.

They are an excellent crystal-farming team with more than a dozen sets of quasi-first-level alloy equipment, and five sets of first-level alloy equipment, so they have an endless supply of beast crystals every day.

It's strange to say, they do this every day but the number of strange beasts on the Blood Crystal Mountain does not decrease. They are just like the zombies in the Demon Valley, which are endless to kill.

Ling Tian walked into the largest beast crystal trading shop. There was a black turtle flag hanging at the door. Needless to say, it was a shop opened by the Xuanwu Camp.

Hearing the noise, the dozing servant inside was startled and hurried over to ask, "Boss, what level of exotic crystal do you want?"

"What's the price of level one today?"

"Five to one."

"So expensive?" Ling Tian naturally knew what this five meant, but he was a little surprised that it was so expensive.

"There's nothing we can do, boss. A lot of slaves have died recently, and we can't replenish them all at once."

Looking at the more than ten corpse crystals in the space, Ling Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly, and had to go out to the corpse crystal exchange point to exchange them for money.

When we got there, there were quite a few people inside, most of them were miners from outside the city carrying pickaxes.

"The exchange rate has been adjusted again today. Isn't this pushing us into a desperate situation?"

"That's right, it's 97 to 1. How are we supposed to survive? I only dug four pieces today. I'm losing a lot."

"I was lucky enough to dig up six pieces, but the dozens of corpse crystals I earned weren't enough to recover. Sigh..."

"Stop talking, Manager Zhao is coming out."

"What are you all gathering for? Hurry up if you want to exchange. Starting tomorrow, the total number of exchanges is limited to 200 yuan. First come, first served."

"What?"

As soon as Zhao Xudong finished speaking, everyone was shocked. There were sixty or seventy people here, and two hundred yuan was not enough. They would have no space to survive.

"What are you arguing about? No one is forcing you to go mining. Come if you want, or get lost if you don't want to. Humph!"

"However, our Qinglong Battalion Commander knows that life is not easy for everyone. As long as you join our battalion, there will be no limit on the amount you can exchange, and you can exchange it at the full amount. In addition, you will receive a white steamed bun every day."

"really?"

"When have I, Zhao Xudong, ever lied to you? If you want to join, go and queue up over there. We're only hiring for the next few days. No one will be accepted after you've signed up."

“I join…”

After the first one, there will soon be the second, the third...

"Don't worry, come one by one."

Zhao Xudong, who was in charge of recruitment, was very happy because this was all money.

However, there are also many people who are waiting and watching, and some even have no such idea at all. Ling Tian is one of them.

If you join, you will lose your personal freedom. He knew from He Chenhan's memory that once you enter the base, you will be branded with a curse. Unless the caster of the curse dies or the curse is lifted, you will have no chance of leaving the organization.

"Do you want to exchange it? If not, then don't block it."

"Oh, change."

Ling Tian took off his backpack and reached in. When he came out, he had five more spirit crystals. After getting 485 corpse crystals, he immediately returned to the beast crystal exchange shop.

"Fifty dollars each for level one and level two."

"Okay, wait a moment."

Seeing that it was a big business, the young man became very enthusiastic. He could get a commission of ten corpse crystals from this transaction.

"Boss, a few level three ones just arrived. Do you want some?"

"Oh, there are level three ones. How much is it?"

"I'll give you a discount, ninety-eight."

"It's cheap now, but it might get more expensive in a while."

"How do you say that?"

"This~"

The young man rubbed his hands together and pretended to have an indescribable expression on his face.

Ling Tian slipped a few corpse crystals over without leaving any trace. The other party immediately smiled with satisfaction, pulled Ling Tian aside, and whispered, "Dong Bin knows, right?"

Ling Tian nodded.

"It's said that he's discovered a new use for beast crystals, which can be used to inlay alloy equipment to increase stats. According to reliable sources..."

The servant wanted to say something, but when he saw Dong Bin coming in, he immediately stopped talking and walked over to greet him with great flattery.

"Hey, Brother Bin is here, please come this way."

"Stop talking nonsense and bring me all your beast crystals. We are in a hurry."

"No problem, just a moment."

Ling Tian glanced at Dong Bin and walked out of the stall. He was stopped by someone before he had gone far.

"Hey, you bought a lot of those beast crystals just now, right?"

The person who stopped the road and asked questions was Dong Bin.

"What's up?"

Ling Tian was not afraid of him. He was just a weakling at the peak of level two. If it weren't for his title as the chief disciple of the Xuanwu Battalion, he would have kicked him twice.

"Two hundred corpse crystals. Give me those beast crystals. If you have any trouble here in the future, just tell me my name."

"Sorry, I have a use for these beast crystals."

Ling Tian wanted to leave, but Dong Bin stepped forward and stopped him again, with an unfriendly tone and look.

"Hey, you're shameless, aren't you? Don't you know who I am?"

"I don't know and don't want to know, get out of the way!"

Ling Tian revealed a trace of early level three energy, which shocked Dong Bin. He then pushed away the arm that was blocking him and left the resource trading station.

"Mad, how dare you not give me face?"

Dong Bin glared at Ling Tian's departing figure with his eyes wide open. With a sinister look in his eyes, he took out a device similar to a pager and said, "Xiao Gou, call a few brothers to come to the trading station."

Knowing that he had offended Dong Bin, Ling Tian changed back to his original appearance as soon as he left the trading station. However, in order to ensure his safety, he did not dare to stay. Although Dong Bin's level was not high, he had a great reputation, and there were definitely many people with special abilities who stood up for him.

"So soon?"

Sensing several energies moving towards him quickly, Ling Tian frowned, thought for a moment, and decided to strike first.

He put on the third-level gloves, then held the second-level scimitar, stopped suddenly, and activated the stealth skill.

Suddenly the whole world became silent, and coupled with the desolate atmosphere, it seemed particularly dark and terrifying.

"Where are the people?"

Ling Tian's breath suddenly disappeared, making the man who arrived the fastest feel a little dangerous. He held his weapon tightly and searched everywhere for Ling Tian's figure.

"Hide here, let's see how you escape."

The man pretended to search and slowly approached, then suddenly launched his strongest attack and hit the back of a rock on one side.

There was a loud bang, and the man walked over with a smile, but there was only a pile of debris lying in the deep pit.

"not good."
