Dharma Ring: Selling dung beetles at the border

The people of Red Lion City have experienced several ups and downs in half a month.

Just when people thought the stars were shining brightly and that General Ratan was finally coming to an end, the stars disappeared from the night sky again.

Now the warriors who were beaten by Latarn were happy.

They thought it was just the stars doing something wrong. The stars misjudged Latarn's condition and wanted to arrive early, but in fact Latarn had not weakened to that extent.

With this rhetoric, the warriors can feel more at ease.

But after a while, this set of words could no longer convince the public.

The warriors themselves can't stand it, or their wallets can't stand it.

Since challenging Latarn, the mysterious and powerful businessman has taken over the warriors' logistics.

This businessman is responsible for daily life and combat training.

I have to admit that the service provided by Wuming is quite high quality. Their weapons and armor can receive better care, various practical props can greatly improve their survival rate when facing Latarn, and the protection of secret magic brings unexpected surprises.

Even if it's too expensive, the warriors who stay safely in the city can't bear to live in vain.

But no matter how hard I sit still, the starry sky remains unpredictable and capricious. Sometimes stars just appear in the sky and disappear quickly.

Jie Lian said that this was because the general's tenacious will to survive was still fighting against the scarlet corruption in his body, so the aura was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and the stars twinkled in the sky.

While the warriors marveled at Latarn's tyranny, they could only wait for the stars to stabilize.

New strong men come to Red Lion City every day.

The half-wolf Blaze, the great-horned Tragus, the increasingly powerful Nephilim, and a dozen genuine faders carrying finger witches.

They joined forces to challenge Latarn in Starfall, but the outcome was still much the same.

Latarn used his double swords and big bow to give them a slight taste of the elegance and cruelty of the original Shattered War.

They could only recover from their injuries while discussing ways to end the festival.

Half a month later, the warriors had given up the chance to enjoy the glory of the battle and were only thinking about how to kill Latan.

They were thinking about how to conquer Latarn, and they were receiving the meticulous care of the merchants, and their money bags were quietly drying up in the same way.

The style of painting in front of the portal has also changed.

In the past, it was a tragic charge against horns and windy sand, accompanied by mourning and rain of arrows.

Now it's a somewhat weird scene like the shield mages are all here, here comes a wet nurse.

Although the scene was somewhat strange and embarrassing, the weaklings who had no choice had no time to care about their face.

At least with this change, the Warriors managed to inflict damage on Latan - about the size of a gash.

But what made the warriors despair was that when they were preparing to consolidate their victory the next day, Latarn's injury healed and he continued to dance ballet on his horse like a normal person, turning around and sweeping everyone around.

Another night, the sky is once again filled with stars.

On the other side of the Lamenting Dune, next to the portal, a set of knight armor is placed on a shelf.

That is nameless armor.

But there were no nameless figures to be seen anywhere.

He charmed himself with invisibility, took off his armor, and quietly entered the Wailing Dunes.

With his previous experience, Wuming found a way to hide under Latane's nose.

He left all his iron tools on the other side, and then used invisibility magic to hide himself, hiding not far from La Tarn.

Latarn, who no longer had enemies to challenge him, seemed a little lonely. The old thin horse was already walking slowly on the sand dunes. Latarn's gravity magic would occasionally fail, and the thin horse would be unable to support itself for a while and fall to its knees.

It's too late for heroes. Wuming sighed.

This sound was keenly captured by Latarn, and his original hesitant state immediately disappeared, and he roared and raised his two swords and rushed towards the direction of the sound.

But when they arrived at that place, they saw no enemy.

Latarn and Xiaoma walked around a few times, only to return to a dazed state, and picked up the corpse of the Rotten Knight on the ground.

Latarn gathered the corpses together, and then feasted on them, blood and scarlet splattering.

Latan, who was in a hesitant state, did not notice that some putrid moss medicine was stuffed into the pile of corpses, and it entered his stomach along with the corpses.

At Latarn's feet, there are several warm stones that emit warm light, treating the injuries Latarn suffered during the festival during the day.

Wuming observed Latan and the night sky. After a while, the stars disappeared again.

He left quietly, returned to the other side, put on his armor, and lifted the invisibility spell.

Jie Lian was already waiting for him on the shore.

Jie Lian did not put on his old man's mask and knight's helmet, revealing a bald head and beard, a scar on his left eye, the eyeball under the scar turned white, and he was blind.

Jie Lian didn't wear the helmet representing the city lord because he felt embarrassed and wanted to hide it.

Are you really prepared to keep dragging it out like this? Jie Lian looked at Wuming with a complicated expression.

I really want to delay it, Wuming said frankly, but I have collected nearly all of Galid's Holy Bloodwood buds. I can't delay Latarn's illness for long by relying on the Corruption Moss Medicine.

Relying on the help of the Corrupt Family, he collected a lot of Galid's dung beetles, but the Holy Blood Buds were indeed rare items. Even with the help of the Corrupt Family, he couldn't get much.

Wuming said: One of the problems now is that Latarn is eating the corpse of the Rot Knight. The corpse of the Rot Knight is full of corruption, and if his will is eroded by corruption, he will accumulate more corruption because of the corpse - you can't Let him eat something normal?

Jie Lian shook his head: One of the reasons why the general's corruption is difficult to treat is that we can't even feed him the corrosive medicine. Once we get close to the Wailing Sand Dunes, the general's arrows will fly towards us. We can't sacrifice so much just to deliver the medicine. Red Lion. Besides, even if you give medicine, it won’t be cured. The general is too big, the poison is too deep, and the Sacred Bloodwood buds are too rare.”

Wuming thought for a moment: I can provide normal meat. Treating Latan is a big project, and we need to slowly reduce the accumulation of toxins first.

Jie Lian immediately became alert:

You don't want to sell a piece of meat for two thousand, do you?

Wu Minghahahaha: How is it possible? I am a businessman and I have to consider sustainable development. How can I do a one-time deal?

Is it a one-and-done deal with those soldiers?

If they challenge Latan, it's not certain whether they can survive. It wouldn't be a good idea to leave it to me. Wuming said matter-of-factly.

Jie Lian was already used to Wuming's shamelessness and said:

Even if the price is fair, it's hard for us to afford it. We don't have many runes, only weapons all over the city. The general has three people and one pig, and only this battlefield can support him.

It's time to make money for the general. Wu Ming said seriously.

Jie Lian said: This is Galid, how do we make money?

“Why can’t Galid make money?”

There is so much corruption here that we can't even grow crops. How can we collect the blessings of the golden tree? Jie Lian said.

Crops can't grow, but mushrooms grow very well. Wuming said, You are wrong about one thing. Galid still has the blessings of the golden tree, but they have all been robbed by corruption.

Are you saying that Red Lion is complicit in corruption? Jie Lian said.

If this is the only way to collect blessings and get runes, then do it. Wuming shrugged, City Lord Jielian, you don't want General Latarn to die because of lack of money even though he was saved.

Jie Lian's face was tense and he didn't speak for a long time.

Resurrecting General Latan is what the Red Lions hope for, and fighting corruption is what General Latan hopes for.

This is the mission left to the Red Lion by the general.

In order to save the general and coexist with corruption, not to mention that he may not succeed, even if he really succeeds, how will the red lion face the general?

Is the general really happy to see this happen?

Jie Lian doesn't know.

Seeing that Jie Lian's face was as troubled as if he was constipated, Wuming didn't rush him.

Wuming only wants to make money, and he doesn't mind the way. Seeing Jie Lian's reluctance, Wuming began to give him advice:

Didn't Latarn say that he is the son of the King of Elden and the Queen of the Full Moon? With such a big name, why can't he fight with his father to find his mother's family?

Jie Lian rubbed his eyebrows painfully:

What do you think Blaze is here for? His master represents the Carian royal family. The general sealed the stars, and the stargazing technique that the Carian royal family relied on for survival was sealed. There is no need to talk about it.

My mother's family can't do it, but what about the King of Elden? Wuming asked, The Golden Dynasty must have a lot of gold.

Jie Lian rubbed his forehead with a headache:

King Vladagan has disappeared for a long time, and the royal city is now under the control of King Blessing. The general has attacked the royal city, so it is impossible for us to go to the royal city for help.

Everyone hates a dog. Wuming concluded.

Jie Lian smiled bitterly:

The general stands in the way of too many people.

It's also blocking my way to make money. Wuming felt the same way, Don't be too depressed. After all, you are a demigod force. The Red Lion City family has a big business. At worst, you can do some one-time business.

What kind of one-shot deal is there? Jie Lian said, You want to tear down the city wall?

I see you still have some portals. If not, just sell them to me. Wuming said, There's really nothing else. There are also mountain monsters.

Mountain demon? Jie Lian was even more confused, The mountain demon is no longer for sale. Now is the golden tree era, and the mountain demon will not be bought and sold at will.

How can it be considered a sale? Wuming said, I'm just asking you to give me technical talents like the Troll Blacksmith. This is called sending outstanding talents to society.

If he is willing, I have no problem with it. Jie Lian said.

I asked him and he had no objection. Wuming smiled broadly and rubbed his hands, Oh, I have a blacksmith in my shop.

Jie Lian was disgusted by the ugly appearance of Wuming, and felt a sense of sadness that he had to rely on this businessman.

He couldn't help but say: Why are you like a fly, lying on rotten things and eating people dry?

Flies... Wuming touched his chin, Actually flies are very clean, at least I am clean.

Telling the dirt to others, right?

I heard that some people still eat fly cakes. Wuming said, It should be able to be washed, right?

Jie Lian was a little crazy:

I'm not discussing flies with you, this is a metaphor, a metaphor!

I think I've found cheap meat. Wuming murmured to himself.

A chill hit Jie Lian's heart, and with disbelief or suspicion that he didn't want to face head-on, he asked with fear:

What do you want to do?

Wuming said: Look, you don't have to eat mushrooms, but Latarn is not particular about it anyway - he is holding the Rot Knight and chewing it. Anyway, you have enough oil drums and flame tubes, use the red lion flame to match mine For the recipe, just sterilize the mushrooms and let Latane eat them.”

Wuming handed the formula to Jie Lian, then took the elevator back to the city, and then went straight to the outside of the city:

I'm going to prepare some white meat for General Latarn. It's chicken-flavored and crunchy. It's going to be nutritious and full of meat and vegetables.

Wuming hummed a song and walked slowly under the starless night sky, heading towards the Ionian swamps.

Jie Lian's words reminded him of the characteristics of worm silk.

As bugs that spend their lives in the corrupt swamp, their mucus-filled worm threads are actually so clean, like white lotus flowers in the mud, completely free of corruption.

Although flies like to stay on rotten things, they themselves are not easily contaminated by filth.

Wuming felt that the Corrupt Families should be similar.

As we were driving along the road towards the Ionian swamps, a huge roar suddenly came from the night sky.

The sound was very familiar to Wuming, it was the roar of a flying dragon.

The flying dragon is not bad, it's big enough and has enough meat. Wuming muttered and deviated from the main road.

But when Wuming walked to the place where the sound occurred, he was disappointed.

The skin of this flying dragon has almost disappeared, revealing tender muscles, and there are still some pustules in some places. There are probably only a handful of places where it can be eaten.

It must have been soaked in corruption.

Moreover, someone is already hunting this dragon, so he can't steal any more food.

In front of the huge body of the Corrupt Dragon, there are two tiny figures. The weapons in their hands emit a strange red light, which is particularly eye-catching under the night sky.

One of them was decorated with dark red dragon wings and horns. He seemed to be a professional dragon slayer. He was slender and holding a blood-red double-edged sword.

The other one has a cloth robe tightly tied with iron pieces in series to form an armor. He wears a wooden mask with the image of a ferocious old man on his head, and holds two swords, one long and one short.

The blade of the long blade was bright red, and evil energy overflowed from it. It was unclear whether it was strong blood or a burning inflammation.

The two of them attacked the Corruption Dragon at extremely high speeds, leaving behind afterimages and making it difficult to capture their whereabouts.

The running speed alone shows its strong strength.

But the Corruption Dragon didn't need to capture the figure of the villain. It shook off the dragon's head and sprayed out its dragon breath in a fan shape, covering both of them.

The breath of this corrupt dragon is no longer flame, but billowing scarlet smoke.

It's really soaked. Wuming frowned and left regretfully when he saw that there was no meat to take.

On the side of the Corruption Dragon, the battle continues.

The frightening corruption did not stop the two tiny humans. Amidst the thick scarlet smoke, two figures could be vaguely seen rising up, like salmon swimming against the current under the ripples of light.

The dragon knight holding the double-headed sword turned the double-headed sword and held it in front. The blood flame burned away the corruption and opened up a safe area for the dragon knight.

The man wearing the old man's mask just waved the knife fiercely, and bursts of fire formed a knife network, cutting through the smoke that could not be cut by a sharp blade.

The two of them managed to get close, but the Corruption Dragon became even more inflexible when it got close, allowing it to be manipulated by others.

It struggled for a long time, and finally fell to the ground, roaring and struggling, and its breathing gradually died down.

The dragon knight skillfully cut open the rotten dragon's chest, took out the fresh heart, held it up in the air, and dripped a wisp of thick dragon blood into his mouth.

After taking a sip of dragon blood, the dragon knight handed the heart to the man wearing the old man's mask.

How can you hone your sword skills by pursuing foreign objects? The old man put the long knife into his waist, I am still not satisfied with the beheading. Do you want to follow me to kill Latarn?

The dragon knight shook his head, turned around and left with the dragon heart, heading towards the church not far behind the corrupt dragon.
