Chapter 443 New Industries
"...I found a divine power on the corpse under the city gate. This is the scarab's bait. It uses this method to lure outsiders. As long as you touch the divine power, the undead warriors from all directions will revive and launch an attack."
Lines of text appeared in the dialog box above the wise insect's head.
"Those undead warriors are very difficult to deal with. They are warriors trained by scarabs using corpses buried in Dog City. The weakest undead warrior is stronger than a corpse demon, and there are many demigods as well."
"I tried to escape, but found that I couldn't get out at all. It was as if the border of the world was frozen. Later I learned that as long as I held the godhood of the Dog City, it would be impossible to leave there without permission."
"Just then, the scarab appeared."
Talking about this fellow tribesman from a foreign land, the wise insect paused for a moment: "The scarab is a mature curse tribe. It was once a subordinate god of Anubis [the one above the mountain]."
A question mark popped up above the head of the cat grass next to him: "Aren't the Curse Clan unable to use the Fire of Faith and Godhead? How can they become gods?"
"You are right, but the scarab is a special case."
The wise insect explained: "In the past, Anubis built the Dog City and made it a place of eternal sleep. The many tombs needed a reliable guardian, and the god Khepri was ordered by him to stay and guard it."
"Khepri is a twin god. He is the [Sun of the Morning] and the [God of Sleep and Resurrection]. He and the scarab form a symbiotic body. The scarab is Khepri's brain and head, or in other words, the scarab is a part of Khepri's organs. They share the power of the gods and the cursed, and are indistinguishable from each other..."
Lu Yao understood.
Isn't it just the [symbiote] characteristic?
There are both the Moon God Song Shiyi and the Star God Lianzhen.
It's just that the one that Kebli was living with was a cursed insect.
"After Anubis fell, Khepri, as a subordinate god, also perished, and the scarab inherited Khepri's name and body."
"Besides Kepri, there is also a group of demigod jackals in Dog City. Kepri conquered them over a long period of time and became the master of that place."
"Unless you obtain Anubis's [Black Jackal Head], you will not be able to control Dog City, nor will you be able to find its true location."
The wise insect continued to tell its story.
"Khepri can't leave. He told me that there are tens of thousands of corpses of gods sleeping in the Dog City. Some of them even retain their divinity in their bodies. Kepri knows of at least a hundred of them. There are also some powerful gods. Even if the gods have fallen, their corpses are still very terrifying monsters. Kepri and the jackals are unwilling to get close to those areas."
"In addition, Kebli has collected the flames of faith left behind in the corpses of gods. The reserves are over 1.8 billion, and are still increasing. These are also the resources it is willing to trade."
"Khepri is very smart. It saw that I came here with a mission, so it gave me the divine power to express that it had no ill will towards me and hoped that I could return to report to it and have formal cooperation with it next time."
A light bulb lit up in Maocao's head: "This scarab beetle Kebli should have a longer-term goal. It knows exactly what it wants."
"Yes, it is a mature and calm Curse Clan member."
Zhichong sighed: "It is very easy to communicate with it. We both know each other's bottom line and current demands, and it has not made any harsh demands."
“It’s easy to talk to smart people.”
Lu Yao got a set of key words.
The only key to Dog City: the head of the black jackal.
The coordinates of Dog City are hidden.
The ruler of Dog City: Scarab Khepri.
Dog City Dilemma: Kebli cannot leave, and few outsiders enter.
Dog City’s assets: tens of thousands of gods’ corpses, at least 100 godheads, and 1.8 billion reserves of the Fire of Faith.
If the above is true, Dog City is truly a city of gold.
What concerns Lu Yao is that Kebli possesses a large number of gods' corpses that the curse insects have always dreamed of, but it shows goodwill to the wise insects and wants to start a long-term cooperation.
It is...
Mao Cao also asked what Lu Yao was thinking: "What does Kebli want from us?"
"……stool."
“…”
An awkward panda-scratching smile appeared on the wise bug's head. "I know there are some things about that... but this is what Kebli wants, feces. The fresher and more the better."
Blanch! Scarabs are really dung beetles! Even after becoming gods, they still eat shit... This deep-rooted eating habit is really amazing.
Lu Yao was deeply shocked.
A string of question marks appeared above Cat Grass's head: "What does it need feces for? To grow crops?"
The young and innocent calico cat didn't think in that direction at all.
"No, Dog City is a cemetery city where the dead are buried. The rules there do not allow normal life to grow."
The wise insect waved its paws, and a light bulb lit up in its head: "But if you insist, it is indeed related to growing crops..."
"The ability of the Scarab Khepri is [Undead Sealing Mud], which can awaken the corpses of the dead and turn them into undead warriors, making them fight for Khepri and obey his orders. Now most of the Dog City is under Khepri's control, thanks to this ability."
"It's just that the [Undead Sealing Mud] requires a unique life carrier, which is feces. Kebli must use a large amount of feces to pile up into a spherical cocoon of resurrection. Only then can the dead gradually wake up from the cocoon of resurrection. Although they cannot retain their memories before death, most of the power in the wreckage will still be preserved."
"In Dog City, Kebli has used this ability to organize a large army of undead. There are countless corpses in Dog City, but due to the lack of feces for many years, Kebli is also facing a bottleneck."
Lu Yao thought, so that's it.
Although it is also about pushing dung balls, this time it is used to breed undead warriors.
understand.
"Of course, I also asked it in detail why it didn't cooperate or trade with other intruders. Kebli's answer was very direct, 'Cooperation is based on the fact that the strength is not too different. If the gap is too big, it is not cooperation, but just unilateral demands and exploitation.'"
Just to enter the Dog City, most of the group will be screened, some will die, and some weird guys with no intelligence will be eliminated, and there will be very few left.
Scarabs have traditionally favored keeping interlopers like livestock, using them for their manure, but this quickly leads to their death from exhaustion.
In Dog City, the living cannot survive for long.
But the arrival of the wise insect changed Kebli's mind.
"Khepri believes that the god I am willing to serve must be powerful and wise, and dare to try new things and have the courage to be different from others... so it hopes to cooperate with me. It is willing to exchange the fire of faith and even the godhood for a large amount of fresh feces. However, in order to prevent complications, it killed those skeleton soldiers."
Lu Yao summarized it.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The key is to serve the right dish to the right person.
If the ones that break in are a bunch of noobs, then just chew them up or raise them to use as manure makers.
The ones coming are from the Curse Clan, let’s take a look first.
The strength is okay.
Give it a try, maybe it can develop into long-term success.
Anyway, Kebli is not afraid. It is too difficult for outsiders to enter the Dog City. Gods cannot enter, apostles are afraid, and only neutral people and a few lives can come in.
Dog City is the territory it has run for many years. It has a large number of demigod warriors under its command and is not afraid of challenges at all.
…
After reading the description of the wise insect, Lu Yao opened a bottle of iced cola to calm himself down.
Exchanging the fire of faith for fresh feces sounds outrageous, and it is actually outrageous.
But that's what happened.
Lu Yao thought about it and felt that feces didn't seem to be a scam, so he tried trading it first.
The animal husbandry of the Sleepless Civilization is quite developed, so there is no shortage of cattle and sheep manure.
It is somewhat of a new industry.
The wise insect led the skeleton soldiers, pushing ten carts of feces, to the border area with Dog City, and then the wise insect pushed the carts in one by one.
The first transaction is completed.
After the wise insect comes out, it will be displayed on its body.
…
【Divinity】: As lowly as an ant (100000).
…
This is the final price negotiated by the wise insect and the scarab: 1 cart of fresh feces for 10,000 Fires of Faith, 1,000 carts of fresh feces for 1 godhead - the price of dry feces is only 10% of fresh feces.
After Lu Yao completed the withdrawal of cash from the wise insect, he was sure that Kebli was indeed sincere in his long-term cooperation.
As the ancients said, there are 360 professions, and every profession has its top talent.
No one knows where the next emerging industry will come from, the important thing is to be prepared at all times.
Lu Yao ordered Cat Grass to collect feces and cooperate with the Wise Bug to trade with Dog City. He hoped to increase the feces production as soon as possible and expand export trade.
After several batches of large-scale cross-border transactions were completed, Lu Yao obtained 1 divine power and 1.66 million fires of faith.
Scarab gave feedback and said that the next transaction would take some time.
It needs to use its energy to build undead warriors with [Undead Sealing Mud], and to conquer some stubborn and powerful monsters. The number of those monsters is increasing, and it has reached the point where it has to be wiped out.
Wait until this phase is over before resuming trade.
Lu Yao thought it was okay.
We have made a lot of money from this foreign trade.
Lu Yao began to think about a question.
Now the fire of my faith seems to be lacking. After all, I have less than 20 million. Whenever I see high-end products, I feel that I am short of money. I have a sense of inferiority similar to that caused by my family's decline in wealth.
Now I have two godheads in my pocket, how about selling one? Lu Yao thought about it and felt it was feasible.
