Chapter 27: Black Scale Mobeni Bloodline



The fishman Wanuna was not afraid of death, and he could see that the fat merchant in front of him was also a weak bug. If he was not tied up, he could deal with him with one hand even now. Even when food was scarce, he would not refuse to eat such fat-rich guys as food, because roasted meat was always a delicacy, no matter it was human meat or any other kind of meat.

However, after meeting the businessman's gaze, Wanna's body began to tremble for some reason, as if something more horrible than death was about to happen!

In fact, the merchant did not do anything unnecessary. He just approached the dead Wakuku, opened his mouth to look at his teeth, then dipped his tongue in the flowing blood and tasted it, and finally pulled apart the scales and smelled it.

Then the fat businessman smiled and stretched out his palm and said:

"Please don't hang them on the mast, because doing so will not do you any good except to vent your anger. I am willing to buy them for five magic gold coins. Please note that it is hard currency like magic gold coins."

The merchant ship guards nearby were somewhat surprised and jealous of the price offered by the fat merchant, but they still said honestly:

"Sir, I'd love to make my purse less empty, but we didn't catch these three damn fishmen, but these two guests on the boat, so I can't agree to your request."

The fat businessman immediately turned to Du Yuqi and was about to speak with a smile, when a middle-aged man with an upturned beard suddenly came out from the side. His eyes were very sharp, and he said:

"You can offer five magic coins, sir. I'll offer seven magic coins!"

As soon as the fat businessman saw the middle-aged man, he jumped up as if he had been stabbed in the buttocks and shouted:

"Damn you Gaidar, why are you haunting me?"

Gaidar sneered:

"Everyone is on the boat together, so why can't I be on it? Sir, are you willing to sell me seven magic gold coins?"

The fat businessman gritted his teeth and said:

"Ten magic gold coins, this is the final offer!! If you offer more, it will be yours! I don't believe your connections are better than mine."

Du Yuqi hesitated for a moment and said:

"I only want five magic gold coins, but the additional condition is that the buyer must tell me the reason for purchasing these three corpses."

After hearing Du Yuqi's offer, the fat businessman suddenly showed an unhappy look in his eyes, and then said:

"Sir, ten magic gold coins are not a small price at all."

Gaidar laughed and said:

"I finally met a particularly savvy customer who values ​​knowledge more than money. You can know the reason behind this, but I am only willing to pay one magic gold coin."

Du Yuqi said without hesitation:

"make a deal."

At Du Yuqi's signal, Goblin Jet went to clean up the mess, and then Du Yuqi invited Gaidar to his cabin. Not long after, Jet dragged three murlocs in. At this time, he unfortunately discovered that the murloc he had knocked unconscious had died with blood coming out of the corner of his mouth.

After Gaidar entered the room, he smelled the Jasmine Dragon Balls that Du Yuqi had brewed earlier and was immediately amazed. After Du Yuqi poured him a cup, he drank it with relish and repeatedly asked about the source. It seemed that he thought there must be a great business opportunity in it. Unfortunately, unless he could go to Earth, he would not be able to succeed in this business.

After the greetings, Du Yuqi asked Gaidar for advice. Gaidar nodded, stood up and kicked a corpse away:

"This guy is worthless."

Then he kicked another corpse away:

"The only value of this fish man is to be buried in the ground and used as fertilizer!"

Then he pointed at the frightened "Wowuna" and said:

"All the value is in this thing - excuse me, we should have made a deal, right? In other words, it is my goods now?"

Du Yuqi smiled and said:

"That's right."

Gaidar blew a whistle and called a strong man. The guy was naked from the waist up and bald, but his body hair was very thick. His strong body was greasy and he wore a pair of calf-nose trousers. He had a nose ring on his nose, which was shaped like a beetle. In his mouth was a scimitar with a sharp edge that revealed a tragic bright white color.

Gaidar said to the strong man:

"Lamus, you are a living half-pure blood! So do your job quickly and I will give you an extra ten silver coins later."

Rams walked forward and called for a helper to tie up Wanuna. He grabbed Wanuna's head fin from behind and pulled his head back, exposing his neck. He then aimed a knife at the fishman's throat and slashed it. Immediately, a large amount of dark green blood gushed out, but was caught in a basin that Rams took out from somewhere.

Gaidar then said to Du Yuqi:

"This guy looks similar to other murlocs, but there are actually some big differences. For example, he has webbed feet under his armpits, the ancestor ornament on his neck is in the shape of a shark, and he has a pair of flounder-like eyes on the fins behind his ears..."

Following Gaidar's instructions, Du Yuqi suddenly understood why his "I Slash·Shadow Sword" failed before - this bastard actually had a pair of small eyes on his back, which really meant he could keep an eye on all directions. No wonder he was able to dodge in time.

Gaidar continued:

"So, this murloc is not actually a local murloc, but a pure-blooded one with some Black Scale Mobeni blood flowing in its body! This kind of murloc is very rare, and you often have to go deep into the Sky Sea to catch it."

By this time, most of Wanuna's blood had been drained, and Gaidar explained:

"It is said that its blood can be used as medicine and can also be used to make underwater breathing potions. It can be sold at the Beyaro Alchemy Materials Store for one silver coin per ounce!"

Then Rams cut off Wanuna's tongue swiftly. It was obvious that this guy often did this. He cut it off without any hesitation. Gaidar explained:

"Murloc's Tongue, an excellent spellcasting material. After processing, it can shorten the casting time of some water spells by 5%!"

"The valuable part of the fishman's armpit skin is the patterned part. It can be made into armor plates to slightly increase resistance to water spells."

"Murloc eyeballs are excellent substitutes for alchemical auxiliary materials. They can play a wide range of roles in seven common potions."

“…”

When Gaidar explained to this point, the poor fishman had already been dismembered. He looked like a roast duck that was about to be hung on a grill, gutted and cleaned!

At this time, Rams raised a small hammer and hit the thigh bone. After a muffled sound, Gaidar smiled again:

"It seems I'm lucky."

He picked up a small dark yellow bead from the broken thigh bone.

"This should be an unformed celestial pearl. Even so, it is worth five magic gold coins. In other words, the rest is pure profit."

Du Yuqi nodded and smiled:

"Congratulations on your good luck, and thank you very much for your explanation. It has broadened my horizons while increasing my knowledge. Although the jingling magic gold coins are cute, I still firmly believe that knowledge is priceless, especially on this not-so-peaceful journey. A rich reserve of knowledge is particularly precious."

After Gaidar said goodbye and left, Xi, who had been sitting in the corner, suddenly said:

"This person should not be a businessman. In other words, businessman is just one of the professions he occasionally plays."

Du Yuqi was surprised:

"How do you know?"

Before Xi could speak, Jet spit out the melon seeds and said:

"This guy has a very strong smell of blood. He must have killed many people. Even the butcher who wielded the knife must have been notorious. The knife in his hand has wisps of black aura, which should be the resentment that lingers after death."

Du Yuqi looked at Xi in disbelief. He wondered if Jet had made a mistake, but Xi nodded decisively.

After such a turmoil, Du Yuqi planned to rest for a while before setting off. After all, the enemy's vanguard scouts had died here, and as long as time passed, they would definitely realize something was wrong and catch up.

But at this moment, he found that the ship began to slowly stop moving forward and stopped in the middle of the river. This strange thing immediately made him puzzled, and he immediately asked Jet to find out what had happened.

Jet came back quickly and said:

"The crew said that the situation in the river ahead is very complicated. In addition, the flow of the river has been low recently, so it would be very risky to sail at night. So we simply anchored here and waited until dawn. As for why we anchored in the middle of the river, it was to avoid any bandits nearby from attacking the ship directly."

Du Yuqi frowned. Although what the crew said was reasonable, he immediately made a decision, stood up and said:

"Whether the other party is telling the truth or not, we should leave immediately. There is no need to waste precious time here. Also, Jet, if the situation is critical, Xi and I will stay behind to cover our retreat. You go first. We will naturally find a way to leave."

Jeter spat out a few melon seed shells, then frowned and said:

"How can this be possible?"

Du Yuqi smiled and said:

"Do I look like someone who is tired of living? Would you say something like that if you weren't sure?"

Jeter said:

"Then you better be careful!"

Du Yuqi said:

"Don't worry, I came all the way here not to die."

As they were talking, the three of them had already arrived at the side of the boat. Du Yuqi saw a roll of rope nearby and tied one end of it to the tail of the harpoon. He then shook it in his hand and with a sudden force, he aimed the harpoon at the river bank and threw it over, where it then pierced deeply into a big tree.
