A simple task? Oh, it’s really a simple task. Lu Ping’an can just turn around and leave now.
The previous contract was to get rid of some ordinary monsters. The employment period was no more than two weeks, and the average strength did not exceed level ten (Lu Ping'an didn't understand it. I heard that it was about the highest level of three levels, but it must have exceeded it now).
The contract is quite complete. When encountering such a situation, Lu Ping An can refuse it as a force majeure.
"...A naturally derived royal family represents a new ethnic group, a kingdom, or even a racial branch. It is impossible for us to give up..."
Hammer Man... The Luca tribe is obviously a relatively equal race. Most of the residents of their tribe do not have conventional bodies. The "Hammer Man body" they use is their carrier and prosthetic limbs, but it is also their prison.
and bondage.
As energy-state creatures, they have lost the limit of physical cell division and naturally have a long life. However, at the same time, they have lost the replacement and metabolism of physical cells... and mutations (cancer).
)!They also lost the high variability and possibility of flesh and blood!
While the spiritual body and energy body remain unchanged for a long time, they often lose the possibility of rapid evolution. This is also the reason why they envied Lu Ping'an before. It is impossible for their race to become a traveler before the age of twenty.
However, there are always exceptions to everything. If the Lucca people really remain unchanged, and the race has lost the possibility of mutating, evolving, and adapting to the environment, and if the entire ethnic group is exactly the same, it will only be a matter of time before it encounters a certain disaster and is completely extinct.
Among their tribe, there are always some rare special individuals who have completed their own unique mutations and achieved a certain degree of qualitative change... In human terms, they have jumped from one position on the evolutionary path to another.
One lucky guy.
But the point is not the individual itself, but that its mutation can be reproduced, just like ordinary flesh and blood can be transformed into the energy body of the Lucca people. If there is a mature template, they can be reproduced in large quantities.
This mutation forms a new branch group.
Mutations are always good or bad. Once it is determined to be a benign mutation, it means that a new "royal family" will appear among the Lucca people.
This is the literal king, because no matter how bad the low-level mutations are, it is easy to gather a new ethnic group... Because many mutations require time and history to prove whether they are benign and whether they are worthy of large-scale
Replica.
Most of the people are the same. If there is an opportunity for evolution, a new ethnic group will be brought about. If the ethnic group passes the test of history and becomes a kingdom, it will become a new branch.
"Every royal family is extremely valuable. He means the possibility of the evolution of our race. No matter what the cost, even if all of us die fighting here, we must get him back..."
When the captain said that there was a royal family here, all the shaken Lucca people instantly became firm.
As the captain said, if all the Lucca people here were to exchange for that royal family, they would all be willing...
"It's none of our business."
Lu Ping'an smiled and ignored Hammerman Kang's passionate sacrifice speech.
Treasures of foreign races? Opportunities for racial evolution? What does it have to do with me?
Even if these hammer people didn't say anything, Lu Ping'an could guess that those energy-devouring demon sunflowers that descended from the head were mostly coming for the mutated royal family... I'm afraid in the eyes of those big earthworms,
"Royal" is also the most valuable prey.
After all, since Mo Kui was trained by the "Pillar" to exterminate the overflowing energy-state race, eliminating a royal family is equivalent to destroying a future country, so the efficiency is maxed out.
Even if they are just used as delicacies, rare species are much more valuable than mass-produced species.
"We, we, he's really important to us..."
The big captain was rubbing his hands, making a rumbling noise, and could not speak clearly.
They also didn't expect that the world was being targeted by the energy-devouring demon sunflower. According to their "common sense", once they encountered the energy-devouring demon sunflower, they could give up any task directly.
After all, there is still hope for living. As energy bodies, they are delicacies that they cannot escape from in front of the energy-devouring demon sunflower.
The royal family? The probability of the royal family appearing is too low, and it cannot exist as common sense... If there is really so-called common sense about the royal family, it would be the first priority without hesitation.
Now, these Lucca people realize that even if they risk their lives, they cannot save the royal family. If they really charge, they will only expose the royal family who may be well hidden.
Lu Ping'an had already lowered his head and took out a nail clipper from somewhere, making it clear that he was wasting time.
"We...we..."
The Hammer captain was still stammering. In their ethnic culture, they couldn't say the words "You will die for us."
But he is anxious, but Ping An is actually more anxious...
"Ping An Lu, we can actually help. At least we can give it a try while ensuring safety. If it really doesn't work, it's not too late to give up."
At this time, Team Xia jumped out.
The blindfolded Lu Ping'an gave him a grateful look. Although it might be a little difficult to understand, Xia Qin nodded and accepted it.
Just go back like this? How is it possible? It's not easy to come here. I can't afford to waste a month in vain. I must at least give it a try.
Both Big Cat and Lu Ping'an think that this energy-devouring magic sunflower is very valuable. At least get some samples and plant them in the courtyard... Well, let's try first to see if it will damage the courtyard.
However, although fighting is definitely necessary, the reward...
"Add more money, add more money!"
This is Lu Ping'an's idea, but if you say it directly, the effect will not be very good.
Now, given the fear and guilty conscience of the Hammer people, it is naturally a good time to raise the price.
But the moral level of the Hammer people is unexpectedly high. They believe that everyone has the right to choose their own life and death, but they are still unable to express their request to ask people to fight for their lives, and they are stuck here.
This scene was so awkward that Lu Pingping felt helpless. Fortunately, Xia Qin gave him the steps in time.
Then, the captain quickly stated a bunch of conditions...
"The strengthening potion within the highest authority..."
"The contribution points of the ethnic group, the redemption with the highest authority..."
"There are still two days of research time for the flesh and blood samples of the rule-level creatures restrained in the ship..."
"A complete set of heavy-armor technology... Tsk, isn't this possible? Sure enough, selling technology is the bottom line?"
At this time, the black-faced Guan Xinxian stood up, responded one by one, and then put forward more demanding conditions one after another.
"...Tsk, are you still unwilling to give us the boat?"
"We can't even sail it. The boat is alive. Haven't you discovered it yet?"
Obviously, in the internal communication channels of people on earth, fellow earthlings are not ordinary black people.
Their highest priority target is naturally this ship, followed by advanced technology, but obviously the captain cannot provide it.
The captain's authority was limited, and the remuneration given made Lu Pingping always somewhat dissatisfied.
"...We can ask that royal family to make a promise. He has a very high status in the family. According to our cultural traditions, he must pay a price that is consistent with his status in order to repay this kindness and obtain social benefits.
Relational relief…”
Lu Ping'an sighed helplessly. It seemed that now he could only take out a blank check.
"Okay, okay, let's start work first..."
After Lu Pingan's words fell, the Hammer people shouted excitedly.
Fortunately, no one heard the rest of what he muttered.
"... If I can't get enough reward, I can just save people and turn them into kidnappers. Someone from the Hammer people will always come to redeem people. I don't really want to ask for half of the kingdom, so at least give me a few treasury goods.
"
But will things really go so smoothly?
Ten minutes later, Lu Ping'an and his party encountered the energy-devouring demon Kui again, and the forwards were already ready for battle...
"Run, run!"
But this time, the mercenaries turned around and ran away without hesitation. After all...
"Fuck, even if it is said to live in groups, there are not more than a hundred of them at a time!"
What is being chased behind is not just one or two monsters, but an entire moving black ocean!
