At a 50% discount, he purchased ten sets of alloy-cast light armor from the armor shop, and also equipped them with a lightweight hand shield.

Using the same method, after accurately determining the cost of the goods, Chu Tian had a fight with the shopkeeper "Jijigugu" in a weapons shop, and finally used the name of Old Black Bear to lower the price to 70% off, and equipped ten slave soldiers with a rune crossbow, each of which was equipped with 300 ordinary alloy armor-piercing crossbow arrows and 10 rune crossbow arrows.

Chu Tian did not expect these ten slave soldiers under his command to charge into battle. In their state, Chu Tian doubted whether they could exert half of their combat effectiveness.

However, they can obviously provide long-range support by using the rune crossbow and shooting arrows from behind.

Using the same method, Chu Tian accurately determined the refining costs of several commonly used elixirs and pills in the medicine shop. He easily got the shopkeeper to give him a 85% discount and purchased a batch of common medicines and first aid materials for himself and ten slave soldiers.

When the ten slave soldiers put on fully enclosed light armor, fastened two-foot diameter hand shields on their left hands, carried heavy crossbows and crossbow arrows on their backs, and lined up and walked quickly behind Chu Tian, ​​they actually had a somewhat majestic aura.

Especially when their hands occasionally touched the animal skin bags filled with various first aid medicines hanging tightly around their waists, the ten slave soldiers were like dried-up ponds, with a faint light occasionally flashing in their dry, lifeless and lifeless eyes.

Chu Tian walked along the street with his hands behind his back, while Chu Yaya followed him breathlessly, pulling his sleeve and jogging along. The ten slave soldiers looked at Chu Tian and Chu Yaya's backs, and there was a hint of warmth in their eyes.

It was the first time that someone cared so much about the life and death of these slave soldiers and cannon fodder!

Even though Chu Tian was also a slave soldier, they had seen many other slave soldiers being treated more cruelly than them over the long years.

Chu Tian is completely different from those people; he is also completely different from the official members of the hunting group.

There was an inexplicable power in Chu Tian that these slave soldiers could not understand, but which made them feel very comfortable and as if they were coming alive.

"Hey, I've already spent more than 6,000 spirit crystals. I have to keep some to buy myself a good life-saving item. So, the budget is running out." Standing at the door of a talisman shop, Chu Tian hesitated for a while, but still walked into the shop. He spent 150 spirit crystals on each of the ten slave soldiers and bought three 'Blazing Flame Talismans' as the last means of saving their lives.

The Blazing Flame Talisman is expensive, but it is also extremely powerful. Each Blazing Flame Talisman can unleash a full-strength attack equivalent to that of an initial-stage master in the Liming Realm. To these slave soldiers who are only in the Anshen Realm, each Blazing Flame Talisman is a life!

The ten slave soldiers carefully put away the Blazing Flame Talisman, and when they followed Chu Tian on the street, their steps suddenly became much lighter. Especially since they had originally lined up in a monotonous straight line behind Chu Tian, ​​now they had intentionally or unintentionally formed two small goose feather formations, one on the left and one on the right to protect Chu Tian.

Less than two hours after entering the market in Laoxiong Cave, these slave soldiers had changed from 'numb', 'obedient' 'following' to 'intentional', 'actively protective' 'following'!

'Follow' and 'following' seem to have similar meanings, but their actual meanings are very different.

The slave soldiers who 'followed' Chu Tian were just a group of walking corpses; the slave soldiers who 'followed' Chu Tian were still lifeless, but in their hearts, a trace of living breath was gradually growing.

With the last two thousand spirit crystals, Chu Tian carefully selected and bargained for a long time, visited dozens of shops, and made the shop owners cry. Finally, he chose a unique spiritual weapon and spent all the remaining spirit crystals to buy it.

This is a 'landscape paperweight', shaped like a square landscape, one foot long, two inches wide and five inches high. The material used is 90,000 kilograms of gold refined with pure yang earth fire, compressed into this size using a secret method.

Extremely heavy, extremely dense, and incredibly heavy.

It has both offensive and defensive capabilities. It can be thrown out to hit people, or it can be used to block enemy attacks at close range.

There are thirty-six complete defensive runes engraved on the landscape paperweight. These defensive runes form three crude defensive formations in the paperweight. This is the only spiritual weapon with a complete defensive formation inside that Chu Tian has seen in the shops opened for ordinary hunting group members in the Laoxiong Cave Market.

Just by relying on the three defensive formations, this paperweight can withstand three heavy attacks from a master of the Life Realm like Scorpion Thirty-Six without any damage.

In battle, life and death hang on a thin line. Not to mention being able to withstand three full-strength attacks from the opponent in a row, sometimes being able to deflect the opponent's attack can mean the difference between life and death.

After dropping a drop of blood on the paperweight and initially refining it, Chu Tian returned to the hunting group's base with ten slave soldiers and Chu Yaya.

Zhao Duyan, Wang Tiebi and others, like Chu Tian before, also took the slave soldiers assigned to them by Old Black Bear and the spirit crystals distributed to them to the market for large-scale purchases.

Because of their seniority, they received much more spirit crystal funds than Chu Tian, ​​especially Zhao Duyan and Wang Tiebi, the backbones of the hunting group. The spirit crystal funds they received were even several times more than Chu Tian's.

But Chu Tian saw that the slave soldiers assigned to them were still clean and tidy. The official members of these hunting groups only purchased some basic consumables for these slave soldiers and replaced some essential weapons such as swords, spears, and halberds for them. Apart from that, all their expenses were spent on themselves.

Among the three or four hundred official members of the hunting group and more than three thousand slave soldiers, the ten slave soldiers behind Chu Tian were seen wearing fully enclosed metal light armor, carrying heavy rune crossbows with glowing runes on their backs, and the quivers hanging on both sides of their waists were filled with finely forged crossbow arrows, and in the quivers on their waists, there were ten rune crossbow arrows with faint glow!

You won’t know until you compare. In comparison, the other slave soldiers who are still in rags and even many of them are barefoot are simply incomparable to the slave soldiers behind Chu Tian!

The ten slave soldiers behind Chu Tian subconsciously straightened their bodies and puffed out their chests.

Wang Tiebi looked at the ten fully armed slaves behind Chu Tian in astonishment, and hurried over to hit Chu Tian's arm with his elbow: "Brother, are you crazy? You gave these killers who will die sooner or later so many good things? Hey, hey? Where did you get the spirit crystals? For this stuff... did you pay for it yourself?"

Chu Tian smiled and shook his head. Just as he was about to explain, the old black bear had already walked out of the garrison cave. He was wearing a full set of heavy armor, carrying a large axe on his back. Behind him was a huge demon bear mount, and the old black bear roared at the top of his voice.

"Brothers, big deal! Let's go, eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, this is the time!"

"No whispering, no asking around, we'll talk about what to do when we get to our destination!"

"Hey, young Ming Wang, leave the one-armed girl beside you alone!"

"You're out there smashing and looting, and you brought something to warm your bed or something?"

Hundreds of hunting group members laughed, while the slave soldiers stared at the ten slave soldiers behind Chu Tian, ​​and no one knew what they were thinking.
