There is a large drop between the upper and lower reaches of this river valley, and the water flow is turbulent.
Less than a hundred meters downstream from the fishing spot of the second team, there is a natural dam formed by landslides, forming a Yansai Lake in this area. Therefore, this Tim fish weighing hundreds of pounds is
The river valley is dotted with pebbles on both sides. These pebbles are almost as big as a fist. After years of erosion, they have turned into smooth and round pebbles.
Only a skeleton was left of Youzhu on the wooden cross. The hemp rope used to climb the rock wall was also frayed, and some serious places were about to break.
The soldiers of the second team sat exhausted under the tree. This old willow tree by the river seemed to have just experienced a storm, with broken branches and rotten leaves falling on the ground.
Occasionally, a Tim fish jumps out of the water and shoots a water arrow at the willow tree.
Of course, these water arrows could not touch the small group of soldiers, but they beat the old willow tree on the shore until almost all its leaves fell off.
The soldiers sat under the tree, and a water arrow exploded above their heads, like a light rain.
…
Although the tim fish has not awakened primary intelligence, this first-level monster is not without any brains. As it approaches noon, no tim fish is willing to bite this big fishhook.
In front of the rocky beach in the river valley were fifteen Tim fish weighing two to three hundred pounds. The fish heads were split open with a sharp axe, and the magic core in the skull was taken out by the bearded young man Kagel. Unfortunately, it was opened.
From the skulls of fifteen Tim fish, only five dragon-eye-sized magic cores were found. Because the magic cores are relatively small, the chance of being able to produce magic crystals is also very low.
But even so, the members of the second team have been excited for a long time. Even if they don't bet on the magic crystal inside and just sell the magic core, the value of a dragon eye-sized magic core is about fifty silver coins.
In order to avoid the disturbance of Tim fish in the river, Surdak ordered his team members to drag the Tim fish to some bushes further away from the river.
Surdak has good skinning skills. He is squatting next to a Tim fish, using a sharp skinning knife to peel off the entire fish skin. This kind of fish skin is a good material for sewing fish skin scabbards, and it can also be used to sew fish skin scabbards.
It can be made into fish skin boots or belts, etc. The merchants in the market outside the camp are very willing to purchase this low-level Warcraft material.
…
"It's a pity that none of these Tim fish have natural magic patterns, otherwise they can still make a small income." Surdak clicked his tongue and rubbed his cheek with the back of his hand holding the skinning knife, looking a little dissatisfied.
"It's pretty good. If all these magic cores and fish skins are sold, the money you get will be almost equivalent to a month's subsidy for the infantry regiment. No wonder there are so many adventure groups willing to come over for adventure." Red Stocking Garcia squatted
Surdak's side looked cheerful.
Now that the issue of spoils distribution was discussed, Surdak sat on the grass, took a sip of water, then pointed at the magic cores in front of him and said: "If these magic cores are sold to Larkin, you can get about 250 silver coins."
Ji'er, there are a total of thirteen people in our team, and if we divide them evenly, we will have about nineteen silver coins."
During the few days that He Boqiang stayed at the merchant Larkin's tent, he usually helped the curly-haired boy Gabi set up a street stall. Gabi's stall also had several magic cores the size of pigeon eggs, so the price of the magic cores was very high.
Understand that the price of a magic core of this size on the market is indeed this.
He reached out and picked up a magic core and put it in his hand. There was still a fishy smell on the magic core. Each magic core had a very hard outer skin. Only by polishing off this outer skin could the magic crystal inside be seen.
stone.
Surdak said to the team members: "Each of us can also get a Tim fish skin. I don't care whether you sell this fish skin privately or keep it and take it home later. Such a Tim fish skin
If the fish skin is sold at the camp market here, it will cost at least ten silver coins, but you must think carefully, if you take it home, the price will at least double."
Thirteen of the fifteen Tim fish skins are evenly distributed, and the remaining two belong to the captain and the skinning technician, that is, Surdak's.
The bearded Kagel seemed a little dissatisfied with these gains. He looked at the magic core in He Boqiang's hand and sighed: "It would be great if all these magic cores could produce magic crystals."
Augustus sat next to Cagel, his eyes brightened, and he asked tentatively: "Do you dare to take a gamble? If one of these five magic cores can produce a magic crystal, we will gain at least
It can be doubled again.”
Cagle rolled his eyes upward and asked, "What if you can't fire one at all?"
Augustus spread his hands and said indifferently: "Then there will be nothing. We can only carry a Tim fish skin home."
Red Stocking Garcia said cautiously: "I think as long as we sell these magic cores, we will make a profit. There is no need to take a gamble."
Seeing that some people's eyes started to light up after hearing Augustus' words, Suldak immediately waved his hand and said to Augustus:
"I've seen people use magic cores the size of dragon's eyes. They even opened twenty of them but still couldn't get any magic crystals. The magic core yield rate of the first-level magic beast is still too low! If you want to stop it, just pay to remove it.
If you buy these magic cores and you can find magic crystals, all the gains will be yours."
Augustus spread his hands helplessly, indicating that he was completely destitute, curled his lips and said: "If no one supports me, then forget it!"
…
He Boqiang calmly put the magic core in his hand back to its original place.
Just now, He Boqiang suddenly discovered that a weak breath seemed to seep out of the magic core in his hand, and the weak breath flowed back up his arm to his shoulder.
In that moment, in his spiritual world, he felt countless stars in the void, gathering in the shadow of his body and dimming. The second star on his shoulder that had been lit a few days ago had completely stabilized, and followed his hand.
The weak aura released by the magic core inside entered the body, and a dark star next to the second star began to glow faintly.
The aura seeping out of the magic core can actually light up the stars in his spiritual world.
He Boqiang quickly put the magic core back to its original place. When he retracted his hand, he subconsciously picked up another magic core. He calmly put this magic core in the palm of his hand.
The breath did not appear again.
He Boqiang picked up the other magic cores one after another, but he could only feel it when he held the first magic core.
…
The weather is hot and these Tim fish will go bad quickly if left there.
Now they are lying in the shade of the bushes. The soldiers of the second team are cutting off the best meat from these fish, cutting them into thin slices and placing them on the clean big rocks on the shore to dry the fish. It is only about one fish.
Between two and three hundred pounds, the clean meat cut from fifteen tim fish must weigh at least a thousand kilograms, and even the dried fish would weigh several hundred kilograms. There is no way to carry them all away, so we can only select the ones with the best quality meat.
Dried fish.
The fish meat of Tim fish is tender and delicious. Everyone's lunch is a pot of fragrant fish porridge. It is impossible to cook it carefully in the wild, so it tastes the same.
Since there were indigenous people nearby, the second team could not stay here for too long. When the sun was about to set, they put part of the dried fish meat into the grain bag and returned with each person sharing more than 20 kilograms of dried fish meat.
Temporary camp.
…
He Boqiang was lying in the tent sleeping soundly when he heard the voice of Red Socks Garcia coming from outside the tent: "Captain...Suldak!"
It seemed that calling him captain was of no use as it would not wake him up, so Red Socks Garcia boldly changed to his previous title of "Suldak".
Hearing someone shouting, Surdak, who was lying at the door of the tent, immediately woke up and asked in a deep voice:
"What's up?"
He Boqiang forced himself to open his eyes and look outside the tent. At this time, the sky was just getting dark, the sky gradually turned blue, the stars receded, and a dazzling white band appeared on the horizon.
Red Socks, wearing a bulky armor, squatted outside the tent and reported to Surdak who had just been woken up:
"Captain, those indigenous people came to the other side of the river to steal the fish!"
