Chapter 29: Walnut Boat

Everyone looked up and let out a long "wow."

Even though they knew Sun Fuping was a State Preceptor and had extraordinary means, everyone was still shocked to see this scene.

He Lingchuan heard Zeng Feixiong whisper: "Is that thing Mysterious Crystal? First time seeing it." The voice was full of surprise.

"Green, just a low-grade Mysterious Crystal." He Lingchuan's understatement.

As a result, this sentence was heard by Nian Songyu, who immediately turned his head and asked: "Do you have medium or high-grade ones?"

"No, of course not!" He Lingchuan laughed. If he admitted it, he would have to be confiscated, right? Who let him really have it? In He Lingchuan's storage bag, a dark green Mysterious Crystal was lying at the moment, which was even better than the one Sun State Preceptor fed to the walnut boat.

Mysterious Crystal is the solidified form of Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, usually only produced during the spiritual energy explosion period. After humans pick it up, purify it, refine it, or add various materials, it can become various Mysterious Crystals of different grades.

There are many uses for this thing; it can supplement true power for sorcerers/monsters, it can be the action power of mechanism puppets, it can drive arrays, etc. These three walnut small boats look unremarkable, but the price to drive them is not low.

It has been a long time since the last spiritual energy explosion, and Mysterious Crystals are used less and less, and their value is becoming more and more expensive. State Preceptor Sun used it to drive the walnut boat, while He Lingchuan only had one in his hand, which was a big gift given to him by an envoy from the northern demon country when he asked him to handle things.

One takes luxury goods to use, one takes luxury goods to offer; the realm and value are high and low.

He was observing carefully here, and Nian Songyu was asking the sand bandits: "What other tricks do you have that can help?"

Boss Situ Han was also admiring the walnut boat, and when he heard the words, he shook his head: "Too many people, most of our local methods can't be used."

Nian Songyu asked casually, and didn't really think they had any good methods. He Lingchuan laughed: "Your fragrant balls, didn't you bring them out this time?"

"Yes." Boss Situ Han pondered slightly, looked at Sun Fuping, and felt a bit embarrassed. "It's just that it doesn't climb onto... the elegant hall!"

"Saving your life is important; whether it's elegant or not is not important."

Nian Songyu asked Boss Situ Han: "Useful, easy to use?"

"Generally easy to use." Boss Situ Han patted the boat body. "How can this treasure move?"

Nian Songyu didn't hide it from him: "Mysterious Crystal."

Every second that burns is money. Boss Situ Han thought: "If we are lucky, perhaps the two adults won't have to consume Mysterious Crystal."

This made even Sun Fuping interested: "Oh?"

Mysterious Crystal is hard to come by, and it's better to save it if you can. This thing has a price but no market, and ordinary people can't buy it even with silver.

Boss Situ Han emphasized very modestly: "If we are lucky!"

"Try it." Nian Songyu said indifferently. "If it's not easy to use, it's delaying official business, and I will throw you off the boat to feed the monsters."

Why talk so much! Boss Situ Han really wanted to slap himself a few times: "Then please cover your noses, everyone."

Cover...? He Chunhua saw his eldest son and the group of bandits all lift their face cloths to cover their mouths and noses, so he followed suit.

Then he saw the sand bandits carry out a box. When opened, it was lined with soft pads, with a bulging, bubble-like thing in the center.

Nian Songyu looked around and didn't understand: "What is this?"

"Commandant Nian hasn't seen a pig slaughtered?" He Lingchuan laughed. "This is a pig bladder, which can be blown up. It's far from the biggest it can be."

Seeing him smug, He Chunhua couldn't help but slander. This guy has eaten and used the best in Black Water City since he was a child, a standard rich second generation, noble son; logically, he shouldn't have seen a pig bladder. But he was too naughty, and used to fill the pig bladder with water and hang it on the old tree on the main street, watching who was not pleasing to the eye, and when someone walked under the tree, an iron sign flew over...

Nian Songyu had always been used to fine clothes and food, so how could he have seen this? Hearing the words, he frowned with disgust: "What is it for?"

"Good sealing, otherwise you have to hurt yourself eight hundred." Following He Lingchuan's explanation, the sand bandits took out a large piece of cured meat, tied it with a thick rope, then untied the binding line at the mouth of the pig bladder, and poured the things stored in the bladder onto the cured meat.

It was a thick dark green liquid, which not only bubbled, but occasionally could emit a wisp of white smoke.

As soon as it saw the light of day, everyone's sense of smell suffered a heavy blow.

This smell is like severe athlete's foot stuffed in a boot that doesn't breathe for a month, then mixed with the fox odor accumulated from not taking a bath for half a year, and the finishing touch is the unique smell brewed by dead fish and rotten shrimp piled up in the dark corner of the smuggling wharf for years.

Gathering the essence of fishy, smelly, and mutton, it stinks out of style and also stinks out of level.

The soldiers in the army who couldn't cover their noses "wa" and vomited.

The most terrible thing about this smell is that once you smell it, your body will firmly remember it, and it will be unforgettable for a long time.

Infected by this, those who were still holding back couldn't hold back anymore, and they hugged their stomachs and vomited into a ball.

Fortunately, the sand bandits quickly threw the cured meat into the sand pit and covered it with a few handfuls of sand, plus the strong wind in the desert, and the smell was blown away after a while.

Everyone tried hard to breathe, never feeling that breathing was so beautiful.

Nian Songyu's face changed: "Outrageous! What is the use of this thing?"

He was also chest-tight and wanted to vomit, and had to restrain himself to not vomit, but when he turned his head and saw He Lingchuan's beaming appearance, he really doubted whether this little bastard was taking the opportunity to fix him!

So stinky, who can not be hit? "Look." He Lingchuan was not panicked, and pointed to the sand pit where the meat was buried.

Everyone looked and found that with this sand pit as the center, one after another ripples appeared on the sand, varying in depth, but all extending rapidly outward. Clearly, many creatures were originally hidden under the sand, and were smoked away by the cured meat.

Not only to humans, but the lethality of that thing to alienated monsters and demons is also very powerful.

And because the latter's sense of smell is more sensitive than humans, they suffer more serious spiritual and physical trauma.

"Can smoke away alien beasts, not bad, what other use?" This move still surprised Sun Fuping a little. Poison gas attack, he never thought about it when making plans; it seems that the local methods of country people are sometimes quite useful.

"Just like this is far from enough!" Nian Songyu squeezed his knuckles. This group of sand bandits and the He father and son knew each other; were they united to deal with him?

Boss Situ Han didn't know why, seeing his face was unkind: "Wait, wait again, the key to crossing the desert is coming!"

Coming? What is coming?
