Demonic World: I Pay to Win in Cultivation

There was light rain in the sky.

Du Kang was walking in the evening rain under an umbrella, led by a tall Zi Snake, and the two arrived at the agreed meeting place outside the city one after the other.

This place is already a small tributary of the Canglan River five miles south of the city. The busy main river has been left behind. On this rainy day with few pedestrians, only a small unmanned pier can be seen by the river.

It may seem simple, but the rough wood driven deep into the bottom of the river, and the crossbars and planks laid on it make this pier look sturdy and durable.

From a distance, a short and strong man wearing a bamboo hat and a coir raincoat could be seen smoking a pipe boredly against a wooden pile on the pier, as if he was waiting for someone.

"My lord, this is the person who sent us the message. This time to see the boat, he will take us there."

Zi Snake turned around and said this to Du Kang.

"No, take me alone, you just send me here, go back now."

Although the price of this kind of trading introduced by the black market will be relatively cheap, most of the sources of goods have some problems. It is a high-risk business and it is not suitable to bring a burden.

"Obey!"

Zi Snake is a well-behaved subordinate who can only obey orders, and never questions the orders of the superiors. After bowing down, he directly returns along the original road without hesitation.

The man waiting for someone in the distance noticed the movement here, took the dry smoke and backed away with a knife, and stood on the edge of the pier, as if he would jump into the river to escape immediately if something went wrong.

Du Kang walked on the muddy dirt road, and waited until he arrived at the pier in a leisurely manner, then looked at the man and asked.

"Is it the guy from the grocery store? I made an appointment to see the boat."

"Why did the original jointer leave halfway?" the man asked while holding the unsheathed knife at his waist.

"He is only in charge of the connection, and I can decide on the ship by myself."

This kind of change in the transaction seems to have been unexpected by the man. After watching Du Kang for a long time, he jumped on his knees and fell into a black-covered boat in the small river behind him. He propped up a scull and said to Du Kang.

"My surname is Lin, and guests can call me Lao Lin. Let's get on the boat together, and I'll take you to meet the seller. According to the agreement in advance, if the transaction is successful, I will give my family 2,000 taels, and even if it fails, I will give you 500 taels."

Du Kang also jumped onto the boat, casually threw five liang of gold to the man, and got into the boat tent.

"It turns out that we are from the same family, and my surname is Lin. Don't worry, you won't be short of money. If the business is successful, it won't be a problem to send you a red envelope alone."

"Then I will accept Boss Lin's auspicious words, please sit still, we will sail right away."

Lao Lin didn't even ask about the red envelope that Du Kang said, obviously he was also a seasoned person, knowing that if he wanted to live longer in the world, the first thing he had to do was put away his greed.

The oars of the boat swayed at the stern, breaking up the ripples splashed by the raindrops on the river surface, and the black-covered boat wobbled and drifted downstream.

Du Kang sat in the canopy of the boat, took out the jade-necked jug and drank alone, enjoying the rare leisure time of the rainy day, the boat, and the boatman.

The section of the river where Du Kang boarded the boat was not far from the Canglan River. After the small boat sailed for a while, the river suddenly widened and flowed into the Canglan River, which was still busy even in rainy weather.

Small boats also have their own advantages in crowded rivers. Under Lao Lin's skill of squeezing left and right, the awning boat quickly crossed the wide river and came to a large pier on the opposite bank.

Canglan City is located on the west bank of the Canglan River. Apart from a rotten rocky beach, there are continuous cliffs on the east bank that are rarely visited by people. However, there are also several gentle lands along the river that have been built with piers. Du Kang is one of them.

Boom!

The black-covered boat hit a low wooden pile, stopping its forward momentum.

Lao Lin threw the hemp rope of the awning boat directly to the hands of the dock staff who had been waiting here, and asked them to fix the boat, and then stepped on the weakened wooden boards that had been eroded by river water and wind and rain, and walked towards the not far distance with Du Kang. A three-masted sailing ship docked.

The ship is about ten feet long, with three tall masts standing in the front, middle and rear of the ship. The sails have all been lowered. The whole body of the ship is made of iron star wood, and there is no trace of wind and frost, revealing a solid atmosphere. .

There was a long plank leaning against the sailboat and the pier. Du Kang followed Lao Lin and stepped onto the deck on this plank. Before he had time to observe the structural layout of the ship, he saw a familiar figure standing at the bow.

This man was short and fat, a dark middle-aged man in a military uniform, with a bright smile on his face, he was Gong Cancan, who almost became Du Kang's cheap son.

Gong Cancan was taken aback when he saw Du Kang, apparently he did not expect that the buyer of this business introduced through a middleman would be an acquaintance.

"The so-called reunion by fate, it seems that my family and Boss Lin have made a deal for this."

"Maybe it's because the fate of our meeting last time hasn't come yet, God just matched us up again this time."

Du Kang bypassed the middleman who was about to introduce each other, and directly held Gong Cancan's hand.

He couldn't help being excited, the last time we met, Gong Cancan offered 90,000 taels of silver, but this time the middleman introduced the seller's base price as 80,000 taels.

The price reduction of 10,000 taels made Du Kang look at Gong Cancan more eagerly.

At this moment, behind Gong Cancan, some discerning subordinates walked to Du Kang's side and held up a big umbrella to cover the drizzle on his head.

Lao Lin on the side was in a hurry.

He didn't expect the two families to know each other beforehand, so it's fine if the deal doesn't go through, but if it does, if the two companies don't accept the account introduced by the middleman, wouldn't the sundry store lose 1,500 taels of silver? soundtrack.

"Bosses, do you still remember the prior agreement?"

Gong Cancan looked at Du Kang, the money for the middleman was paid by the buyer, so he naturally had no objection.

"I, Lin Chun, always pay attention to reputation when doing business. If I finally buy this boat, I will definitely not forget the hard work of my elder brother."

"I hope Boss Lin will keep his word. If you leave our sundry store behind and secretly make a deal, our family will not be bullied."

Lao Lin thought about the strength of these two families for a while. One of them has only one middle-level monk who is about to die of old age. Although the other is mysterious, it looks like it has just moved to Canglan City.

Just thinking of the strict family rules and the severe punishment for ineffectiveness, Lao Lin gritted his teeth and said such words, which immediately chilled the scene.

"Old Lin is really straight, I like this kind of temperament."

Du Kang laughed a few times, and patted Lao Lin on the shoulder, wanting to see how strong the person threatening him was.

【Name】: Lin Kuohai

This spell can only be practiced up to level C.

Du Kang, who had glanced at the panel, suddenly laughed more happily, and Gong Cancan also responded with a low smile. The cheerful laughter echoed on the boat, which made Lin Kuohai feel a chill in his heart, and realized that he might have kicked the iron plate .

In the end, it was Gong Cancan who spoke first to ease the atmosphere.

"It's getting late, it's getting late, let me take Boss Lin around the boat, and introduce Boss Lin about our treasure ship."

"That's exactly what I mean."

Surrounded by the crew behind Gong Cancan, the two walked into the ship, and Lin Kuohai, who was left aside, also followed directly, and he had to look after the business for the grocery store.

Next, Du Kang wandered around the boat under the leadership of Gong Cancan.

As Du Kang saw before boarding the ship, the whole body of the three-masted ship was made of iron star wood. It was an ocean-going ship with three tall masts slightly tilted at both ends.

In the middle of the ship is a cabin above the deck. The one with the best view is the control room of the ship, and the back is a large cabin where the crew rests.

You can also enter the lower cabin through a spiral staircase. The spacious space inside can be used to hold a large amount of cargo, or store a large amount of fresh water and food that needs to be stored for long-distance voyages. It is a common long-distance voyage ship structure on the blue sea.

When Gong Cancan got on the boat from the beginning to the end, the sky was completely dark.

Du Kang is very satisfied on the whole. First of all, I don’t know whether the ship made by Iron Star Wood is really not easy to damage, or because it is very caring in use. This ship is not like the old ship at all. The main body of the ship has not been damaged by impact. trace.

Du Kang secretly believed in his heart that it was the Kraken from Heimu Island who cleared the way for the ship, so that the ship did not look like it had experienced battle at all.

Secondly, Gong Cancan said that as long as the price can be increased by 6,000 taels, he can sell the more than 20 crew members on the ship together, which is also good news for Du Kang, who has no manpower to go to sea.

Of course, heartbeat is heartbeat, but the final transaction price still needs to be negotiated again.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the two simply had a sea fish feast on the deck, admiring the bustling scenery on the other side of the river, and discussing business, but the style of chatting and chatting went astray.

"Boss Lin, since the last farewell, my mother still mentions you from time to time. Don't you really think about becoming my adoptive father? At that time, this ship will be yours for free."

"Lingtang is indeed beautiful and cold. But Lin Chun is a strong man, born with a stomach made of steel, not born to eat soft food, forgive me for not agreeing."

Du Kang didn't want to get involved with the woman on Heimu Island.

During this period of time, Du Kang was not in vain in Canglan City. It is said that the owner of Heimu Island still retains the custom of being buried. Sometimes I want to let him be buried with him.

"It's a pity that we can't be a family..."

Gong Cancan sighed, Du Kang didn't know, Gong Cancan really felt sorry for Du Kang's inability to follow Miss Sixteen to the end of time, if he knew it, he would be even more grateful for his original choice.

Just as he was about to continue to change the topic, Du Kang suddenly noticed that several small boats with lights on the river were approaching the pier.

This instantly raised Du Kang's vigilant heart. With his concentration, the faint movements in the pier on the shore became clear to his ears.

His spiritual eyes opened immediately, and he saw hundreds of pale spiritual lights scattered around the dark pier, surrounding the boat under Du Kang's feet. He looked at Gong Cancan, who also noticed the movement, and said tentatively.

"Master Palace, are these also friends you invited to watch the boat?"

"I'm afraid it's an enemy and not a friend. This matter should have nothing to do with Boss Lin. I'm the one who hurt you. If there is a fight later, please ask Boss Lin to take his life as the most important thing. If I can escape with my life, I will fight with Boss Lin." Let's drink together."

Gong Cancan stood up, still smiling, and said to the crew who had been serving behind him.

"You guys hide back in the cabin, the wind and waves will be strong for a while, and it's not safe to stand on the deck."

After the crew members all walked back to the cabin in a panic, he took a few steps to the bow and looked into the darkness.

"I don't know which master of the Bai family is coming here. There is something wrong with this small merchant ship of my family. We need to send bone demon soldiers to surround the ship."

"The people on Heimu Island are alert. Don't try to pretend to be stupid. Since you have shown your feet, don't even think about getting out of Canglan City alive today."

There was a voice echoing in the darkness, but no one could be seen. Only pale flames ignited from the bodies of the pale skeletons, revealing all the figures that had been hiding in the darkness.

Immediately, the skeleton demon soldiers standing on the boat, swimming in the water, and surrounded by the side of the pier surrounded the boat completely.

In Du Kangling's eyes, these demon soldiers seemed dead but not dead, living but not alive, their aura was extremely faint, and it was difficult to distinguish them in the spring rain for a while, which was the main reason why he and Gong Cancan were surrounded by silence.

They are not strictly living creatures.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A few bone demon soldiers who were close to the ship just jumped onto the deck, Gong Cancan waved his hand casually, and several gusts of wind were born out of thin air, and these few bone demon soldiers who hadn't stood still were blown into a pile of scattered pieces. Bones, blown into the sea.

Through their hollow eye sockets, one can see that the burning flames in the skulls have been completely extinguished. To the real masters, these low-level demon soldiers are just miscellaneous soldiers that need to be laboriously eliminated.

"It's still a big fish, with such a strong ability to control the wind, you must be the guard of Heimu Island."

Boom!

There was only a dull landing sound, and three bone demon soldiers who were different from other skeleton images landed and jumped onto the deck at the same time.

There are two thick horns on the top of the head, and the skull has also been alienated into a weird half-bull, half-human form. The human torso skeleton, the huge bony hoof, and the small ox tailbone behind it make these three demon soldiers seem to be stripped A tauren with only bones left in his body.

They rushed forward with various weapons made of bones, and fought with Gong Cancan. Gong Cancan's indestructible body made a dull sound of gold and iron clashing under the joint attack of the two demon soldiers.

Boom! Boom! Snapped! Click!

The hard deck made of iron star wood was stepped out of holes in the aftermath of their battle, and through the holes, the dark cabin below could be seen.

This made Du Kang secretly think that it was dangerous. After all, he almost bought the ship just now. If he had paid earlier, the loss now would be his.

However, he still couldn't figure out why he was implicated in this accident for no reason when he just came to discuss a business deal.

Du Kang thought about talking to the Bai family, explaining that he was just an innocent person who was hit by Chi Yu.

"This old man of the Bai family, I'm just here to discuss the matter of buying a boat, and I have nothing to do with Heimu Island. Can you let me leave here? I will definitely come to visit with a generous gift someday, and explain today's misunderstanding."

In the darkness, no one responded for a long time, but the tauren's attack in front of them became more and more fierce.

This was the last thing Du Kang wanted to see. He sighed, and immediately a vine shot out from the iron star wood deck, wrapping around the bony ankle of the tauren.

The information of the Bone Demon Soldier appeared on the panel.
