Chapter 171 I can't go back -172 Really(1/2)
About five hundred kilometers away from the Luanshi Camp, there is a small camp called Powei.
One day, a motorcycle came to the Powei Camp. The rider was armed and had a facial scarf on his face.
This kind of outfit is very common in wasteland. The wind and sand here are too strong, so it is too normal to wear facial towels in the wild.
Of course, if you want to kill someone and rob money, it is also convenient to have a facial towel.
The rider purchased some oil and water and turned back in the direction he came.
There were just a few hunters at the end of the slope, and two motorcycles chased after them, but they reacted a little slowly and lost their traces.
The knight who came was Qu Jianlei. Powei was approaching the range where mutant beasts appeared, and he planned to stay here for a while.
He walked around the camp to get rid of possible pursuers.
Then he chose a leeward place to be a temporary camp less than thirty kilometers away from the slope.
Qu Jianlei was very insecure, and this mentality was always with him, and even a temporary camp would be dug into a shelter.
It took him a day and a half to dig out a half-open refuge before he started his practice.
As a result, on the night after practicing, a group of sand scorpions surrounded him, all of which were half a foot long.
Qu Jianlei was overjoyed when he saw this. He was not unfamiliar with this kind of sand scorpion. He was an ordinary insect that could be eaten and his tail poison sac can be exchanged for money.
He was worried that he wouldn't have much water, but he didn't have the money to buy it. Unexpectedly, prey came to him.
There are quite a few hundred scorpions.
He pulled out the long sword and slashed it. After almost an hour of busyness, he finally killed the scorpion group.
There were still a few scorpions who ran away, but that didn't matter. These scorpions were enough for him to last for three or four days.
This is still the years he is currently practicing and giving him a down-and-out period. These scorpion meats are enough to support his life for twenty days.
However, after cleaning the battlefield, he thought of a question: What attracted these scorpions?
He thought the biggest possibility was the mutant beast crystal, because other items he owned were normal.
Even if there are a little more sand scorpions here, there shouldn’t be as many more than the rock camp.
Unfortunately, the scorpion died and ran away, and he could no longer find a living body for experiments.
But it doesn't matter, there is not much crystallization in his hands.
This baby can not only help him practice, but also help him repair his body damaged by the modified potion.
So far, he has been receiving injections for more than twenty days, and at least four antidotes are needed to survive.
He only received two times, and the third time he took a little antidote and consumed some crystals before he could survive.
On the fourth time, he still used some antidote as the introduction and used some crystals.
Originally, he tried to repair his body by practicing Qi Refining Art, but it turned out that he was a bit wishful thinking.
However, no matter what, the need for less and less external objects to repair the body, and he is confident that he can overcome the difficulties with his own strength.
With these scorpion meats, he began to practice with luxury again, and the effect was significantly improved.
Until three days later, only one-tenth of the scorpion meat was left, and he had to stop practicing - he was going to make money.
Sand Scorpion's poison sac is a hot item. Not only is it very toxic, it can also alleviate some mutation trends.
Unfortunately, when he killed everything, nearly half of his poisonous sacs were damaged.
This is also impossible. Although Qu Jianlei has cultivated a sense of qi, he has not studied the sword technique completely.
When he was on Blue Star, he had the opportunity to learn some sword skills, but he was not interested.
Now using some brute force has achieved the goal, but the scene is really a bit terrible.
However, it was precisely because of the leakage of a large number of venom that other animals were blocked from coming.
Otherwise, how could Qu Jianlei practice so calmly?
The poison sacs he collected were only over 400, but they should be worth a small amount of money.
Then he walked to Powei Camp, and this time he changed into a pair of facial towels.
However, the grocery store in the camp was a little dark, and he also said this and that when it came to the fullness of the poison bag, he tried every means to reduce the price.
Qu Jianlei is not good at bargaining, so his attitude is: I will sell it if it rises by 30%, otherwise I won’t sell it!
Even if it was up 30%, it was far lower than his psychological expectations, but he didn't want to get tired of it anymore.
It’s really unsatisfactory. The grocery store owner just thought that he could still make a price, so he continued to bargain.
Qu Jianlei turned around and left without saying a word.
The shop owner looked at him coldly and saw that he was not joking, so he quickly chased after him, "Friend, still..."
Before he could finish his words, a black muzzle had already pointed at him, and the insurance was also opening at the same time.
Qu Jianlei said two words expressionlessly, "Want to grab it?"
"I...I don't mean that," the owner laughed dryly, returning to normal, "I mean the price can be negotiated."
"That's just a polite robbery," Qu Jianlei said lightly, "I finally offered a price..."
"If you agree, just trade; if you don't agree, don't follow me, it will be a deathblazing!"
He didn't think he was threatening the other party, he really dared to shoot!
There are few vicious incidents in outdoor camps, but he did not intend to stay here for a long time and had no feelings for it.
Anyway, he was covered in his face. After he left, who knew who did it?
Seeing him turn around again, a trace of sinister flashed across the shop owner's face.
But he still spoke loudly, "Stop, I agree!"
It doesn't work if you don't agree. The Sand Scorpion Poison Bag is so popular now that he can make a big profit.
And he is just asking for life at the Powei, so he can't force himself to rob in front of everyone.
The price was set, and Qu Jianlei did not charge any money, but just changed some nutrients and water, two first aid kits.
He replaced the rest with ammunition.
In fact, in the end, he did not produce too much supplies. These poison capsules only made up for the deficits that had been in the past few days.
"It's really expensive to practice," Qu Jianlei returned to the temporary camp, sighed, and started the motorcycle.
I can no longer stay here. If I stay in the same place for a long time, something will happen sooner or later.
The shop owner is obviously a difficult person. If you are thinking about this kind of person, it is really... good to leave early.
He was right at all. A day later, someone found out here, "So the sand scorpion is nearby?"
After Qu Jianlei left, he didn't know where to go for a while.
Thinking about how he had survived two antidote attacks, he suddenly became curious: I don’t know what’s going on in the mine?
So he rode the motorcycle and returned.
Hiding the motorcycle and supplies in the wild, he wore a facial scarf and came to the camp where the old lame man was.
But what surprised him was: the grocery store actually changed its owner!
He did not go up to ask questions directly, but took out a piece of rag and wrote a line of words on it.
"Acquiring large quantities of unflowered purple lichens"
The wasteland is not that there is absolutely no plant growth, but there are no big trees, few shrubs, more weeds and more lichens.
The purple lichen has a fishy smell, but it has a high moisture content. If you are so hungry, you can survive even if you eat lichens.
But if you eat too much that thing, it will become thinner, so many people accumulate purple lichens and use them as backup water bags.
Anyway, this thing is really not worth it, and basically no one specializes in purchasing it.
Since he is willing to buy it, there will naturally be someone selling it. It’s a pity that no one has accumulated too much of this kind.
Only purple lichens are most suitable for picking before blooming, with the largest moisture content.
Moreover, lichens are picked and can still bloom, and once they bloom, the moisture content will drop sharply.
This is not an item that can be preserved for a long time. It is also for the sake of timely needs.
It is worthless and has little amount, so it is difficult for those who receive it, and it is difficult for those who sell it.
So someone familiar with them discussed and sold them together, and then went back to calculate the small accounts.
During this process, it is inevitable that the two sides will communicate a few words.
Until Qu Jianlei complained intentionally or unintentionally, "Every grocery store doesn't sell lichens...I look down on small businesses."
"For that kind of big man, is this business?" a down-and-out woman replied.
"The old lame man here..." Qu Jianlei said halfway, "Oh, has he gone to the settlement to enjoy his life?"
"Dead," the depressed woman replied disrespectfully.
"Is that true?" Qu Jianlei was really surprised, "How did he die?"
