At this moment, the Blood Vine Lotus could no longer maintain its vines extended outward, and all of them retracted into Zhang Mu's left arm. The corpse of Shadow Killer in the air lost its support and fell weakly to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Zhang Mu felt distressed when he felt the Blood Vine Lotus was in a state of lethargy. It was it that saved his life just now. Although the two of them were only in a parasitic relationship, it still took action.
After forcibly pulling itself out of Zhang Mu's arms, it then forcefully activated the vine that had been disconnected from it, causing great damage to its essence. Basically, it vomited out all the energy it had taken in today, and even lost some of it.
It may seem like nothing, but today it has absorbed the blood essence of nearly a thousand zombies, and Zhang Mu has been feeding it at least a hundred Yuan Crystals. Now all the energy it just digested is forced to be taken out. It feels like a person who has eaten a full meal and is suddenly punched in the stomach.
Therefore, as soon as Zhang Mu was out of danger, the Blood Vine Lotus retracted into Zhang Mu's body for nourishment, returning to the dormant state that Zhang Mu had seen it in for the first time.
At this time, Yuan Rui and the Obsidian Bug also came to Zhang Mu's side. They were stunned by the sight of Zhang Mu and the corpse on the ground, but they felt that Zhang Mu looked serious, so they did not interrupt him.
Yuan Rui quietly stayed by Zhang Mu's side, while the Obsidian Bug was very conscientious in dealing with the remaining zombies. In fact, there were only a few dozen zombies left, which was insignificant compared to the corpses covering two entire streets. The Obsidian Bug thought that the dull Zhang Mu was too boring, so it was very comfortable to play with these poor first-level zombies for a while.
What Zhang Mu is thinking about now is whether or not to fuse this Epoch Merchant Ring. Normal people would naturally be eager to fuse this token that represents the identity of an Epoch Merchant Agent.
But Zhang Mu's current situation is different. Although swallowing Liu Shuo's Epoch Merchant Ring has brought him great benefits, it can further expand the space in his own ring and allow him to obtain all the items in Liu Shuo's ring. He should have already exchanged it for the regional specialty goods of Xi'an City.
However, there is a problem now. This Liu Shuo is not an ordinary Jiyuan agent merchant. He is the first-rank merchant of the Jiyuan store branch in Xi'an city. He should be highly valued by the Jiyuan merchants here.
But just ten days after he was granted the identity, he was killed by Zhang Mu and his treasure was taken away. Even if Zhang Mu did not take the initiative, Zhang Mu was sure that the Epoch Merchant he met this time was definitely not a mechanical system, and it must be him in person who handled Zhang Mu's transaction.
That
In this case, Zhang Mu would definitely be discovered by the real Epoch Merchant here that he had killed his first-ranked agent merchant and fused it with the Epoch Merchant ring he had given to Liu Shuo.
Zhang Mu couldn't guarantee what actions this Epoch Merchant would take. After all, the character of each Epoch Merchant was unpredictable, and they were all independent. Zhang Mu had indeed been to Xi'an before, but he traded too late, and the order was too small, so it was not worth it for the Epoch Merchant himself to come out and trade with him. Generally, they dealt with mechanical systems, so Zhang Mu was not sure.
What if the Jiyuan merchants in Xi'an City have a hot temper and don't give him a chance to trade? Then his ten days of traveling would be wasted, and he would fall behind by a large margin at the starting point.
Seeing that the light of the Epoch Merchant's Ring was flickering and dimming, and would soon be automatically destroyed, Zhang Mu's eyes turned fierce, and he instantly ran to Liu Shuo's side and took the ring off his hand.
Gamble! Fortunes are sought through risk!
Zhang Mu easily took off the Jiyuan merchant ring that had lost its owner. He slowly moved the ring closer to the larger one on his hand, which was of the same style.
Number 009? Now let's see how you can expand my number 001.
After getting the Epoch Merchant Ring numbered 009, Zhang Mu had completely forgotten the risks of fusing this ring and was only interested in seeing the changes in his own ring after the fusion.
Generally speaking, all Era Agents have endless ways to save their lives. In addition, everyone is elusive, so there are usually few opportunities to plunder other people's merchant rings to expand themselves.
Zhang Mu had never seen it in person in his later life, but he had heard about it from others at the trade fair. It seemed that the extent of the expansion could be seen from the difference in the number of the ring and his original ring. For example, if the ring numbered 050 devoured the Epoch Merchant Ring numbered 010, then his ring might expand three or four times. But if it was the other way around, with 050 devouring 010, then there would probably be no change at all.
This is also the reason why no one coveted Zhang Mu's Epoch Merchant Ring in later generations, because the Epoch Agent Merchants who ranked high in the rankings simply did not care about the expansion space after devouring Zhang Mu, and those Epoch Agent Merchants who ranked near Zhang Mu did not have the strength to kill Zhang Mu, who was cunning and had three burrows, with one blow.
Under Zhang Mu's guidance, the smaller ring slowly approached Zhang Mu's right hand and floated in the air. Suddenly, the two rings, which were originally very simple in texture, suddenly
It glowed with the same dazzling light. But Zhang Mu's was more powerful, and the number 009 floating in the air had no right to resist at all. It was just Zhang Mu's trophy.
Soon, the ring numbered 009 completely lost its resistance. It was like being pulled into a black hole and was slowly torn apart by Zhang Mu's ring, swallowing it up completely.
After more than ten seconds, the ring on Zhang Mu's hand stopped emitting black light and returned to its original ordinary appearance. Zhang Mu immersed his mind in it and was instantly delighted.
The space in his ring expanded by half of its original size, but this was not the point. The key point was the various currencies and the most important goods from the era region stored in it.
Zhang Mu first threw away the dozens of human and animal heads that Liu Shuo had stored with disdain. Dozens of skulls, some of which still retained their ferocious faces, were neatly piled together, which really frightened Yuan Rui, who had just been stunned, and made her step back several steps. But Zhang Mu could no longer care about Yuan Rui, and he continued to count the number of spoils.
"Oil tea, one pack."
"Pao Mo, two pieces."
"One white jade donkey statue."
The first thing Zhang Mu looked at was the goods from the Xi'an area that were placed in the middle of the space together with his original peony buds. The more he looked at them, the happier he became.
"It seems that Liu Shuo entered the Epoch Store not much later than me, no wonder his number is 009. And his choice was very smart, he bought some of every Epoch Regional Goods."
When Zhang Mu saw the white jade donkey statue, he even wanted to hug Liu Shuo's body and give it a kiss.
It was really smart. They didn't buy a lot of other cheap goods, but decided to order the contents based on this white jade donkey statue.
Then Zhang Mu seemed a little uninterested, as if he had no attraction to him.
"Ten second-level elemental crystals, seventeen first-level elemental crystals, and nine first-level peak-quality beast cores."
"So poor, and yet he's called the King of Assassins, but he doesn't have any money at all."
Zhang Mu complained in a low voice with a bit of disgust.
In fact, it is not Liu Shuo's fault. After all, his awakened evolutionary ability is used for single combat. He can't afford to participate in group battles. He can't even touch a slightly larger group of first-level zombies.
However, even so, when he grows up, he is capable of dominating the human circle.
But, unfortunately, he met Zhang Mu and courted death, only to be strangled in the cradle.
