Chapter 849: Skeleton Lord, Can I Hire You?

Negris had always regarded Great Xiao Gu as Ang's clone, substitute, or projection, so it treated Great Xiao Gu the same way it treated Ang, thinking that even if Great Xiao Gu was unhappy, it would at most be like Ang and ignore it. It never expected that Great Xiao Gu would actually run away...

Once it ran away, Negris finally remembered that this Great Xiao Gu was a Silver Skeleton that would run if it couldn't win and surrender if it couldn't run, extremely slippery. Moreover, it didn't have a soul connection with Negris. If it ran away, Negris wouldn't know where to find it.

Realizing the severity of the problem, Negris also panicked a bit: "I... I... what should I do?"

The female mage suggested: "Lord God of Knowledge, why don't you go back to the college with us? You can leave after finding Lord Bone, or find a priest of the Hall of Knowledge to pick you up?"

Negris could only choose to go back to the college with the female mage. Whether the Hall of Knowledge would recognize it was a question. Having known Anthony for a long time, it knew too well how black-hearted these god-stickers were.

Great Xiao Gu slipped off the airship quietly while everyone was vomiting and had no time to pay attention to it, then found another airship and slipped in quietly, hiding.

Great Xiao Gu didn't know where it was going. It just wanted to stay away from that nagging Huang Tong Dragon. Great Xiao Gu hadn't said as many words in its life as the Huang Tong Dragon said in a day.

Moreover, Negris also liked to nag it, not allowing this and not allowing that. Annoying.

Not long after, the airship it was hiding in sailed away from the Starburst Array and sailed into the land below.

The world Ang created was too abstract. It didn't have the shape of a normal plane. All the land was a large plane, whether it was the desert of the Forbidden Land of Gods or this Star Continent.

No need to think about it, it must be that Ang was used to playing with simulation arrays and created it. However, the simulation array only had one side, but the land in the Void had two sides, a dark side and a light side.

The light side was covered by sunlight, with days rising and setting, mountains, oceans, rivers, and lakes. The surface was covered with atmosphere, water cycle, wind, and rain, a world capable of nurturing life.

The dark side never received sunlight, and the environment was harsh, completely unsuitable for biological survival, just like the Abyss plane in the past.

This airship landed in a desert town on the edge of the Star Continent. When the old captain opened the cargo hold to move goods, he was startled by Great Xiao Gu: "Ah!! A skeleton? Scared me. How did you run onto my ship?"

The crew members, startled by the captain's scream, rushed in and looked at Great Xiao Gu, asking in surprise: "Gray-bone skeleton? Why is there a gray-bone skeleton? Boss, did you buy it?"

"You're dreaming. My money was all used to pay your commissions. Where would I have money to buy a skeleton? Thinking beautifully. It's probably that when we stopped at the pier, someone's skeleton walked to the wrong airship. I'll send a transmission message later to ask whose skeleton is lost. We'll send it back next month." The old captain scolded.

The young crew member said disappointedly: "I thought you were generous, Boss, buying a skeleton to reduce our workload. It turns out it's lost."

However, he immediately became excited again: "By the way, Boss, anyway, we have to wait until next month to send it back. Let it help us work now?"

"Ptooey. Do you have soul crystals? Can you afford to raise a skeleton? Can you call it to move? Still want to let the skeleton help you work? You lazy guy, don't you do your own work? I'll deduct your commission." The old captain said angrily.

The young crew member didn't care. Anyway, on the airship, if he wasn't scolded by the captain for a day, his skin would itch. He was already used to it and said with a cheeky face: "You said it, Boss. If I can call it to move, I can let it work. Hey, little skeleton, help us move the goods down, okay?"

Great Xiao Gu thought for a while, picked up the box beside it, and walked toward the outside of the cabin.

"Wow, worthy of being a gray-bone skeleton. So strong." The young crew member exclaimed.

The old captain was angry and kicked his butt: "You go work too, otherwise I'll deduct your commission."

Great Xiao Gu could actually use the Pollination Technique to move all these goods out, but since they said "move," then move. With Great Xiao Gu's help, the airship took less than half the usual time to move all the goods down.

Then everyone worked together to deflate the airship's airbag and drag it into the warehouse. The young crew member was driven to clean up, leaving Great Xiao Gu standing aside somewhat blankly.

The old captain walked over, handed Great Xiao Gu a soul crystal, and said with a smile: "Working is really neat. This is your commission. I'll ask later at the pier who lost a skeleton, and then send you back. But it will have to wait until next month. Stay here for this period of time."

After speaking, the old captain patted Great Xiao Gu's shoulder with a smile and turned to leave.

Commission? Great Xiao Gu held the soul crystal in its hand, somewhat blankly. This word appeared in its life for the first time. Can you get a commission for moving things? What is the use of a commission?

This was really a profound question. The old captain paid Great Xiao Gu soul crystals because skeletons need soul crystals. This thing is energy for skeletons, is "food," and is used to "eat."

However, Great Xiao Gu didn't need to absorb soul crystals at all. It had never had the habit of absorbing soul crystals to replenish its soul since it was young.

If you can't use it, put it away for now. Great Xiao Gu held the soul crystal in its hand. When it opened its palm again, there was no trace of the soul crystal.

There was movement on the side of the warehouse. Great Xiao Gu turned its head to look. Several small heads screamed and shrank back, then ran away laughing and laughing. These immature voices came vaguely:

"Wow, is this a skeleton? It turned its head. So scary."

"Not scary at all. People will become like this after they die. They are all turned from people. Not scary at all."

"Grandpa Marcus said this is a gray-bone skeleton, a very strong skeleton, very powerful. Working is even more powerful than Grandpa Marcus and lazy Dali combined."

"Wow, more powerful than Grandpa Marcus?" As for lazy Dali, it seemed to be ignored directly: "But it's not gray? Feels a bit purple-black."

"That's gray-luo. It's gray if it's not evenly black. I heard there are many skeletons on the big array above, and there are skeletons in big cities. Our town is too poor to afford skeletons."

"What can skeletons do?"

"Skeletons can do many things. I heard skeletons are infinitely strong, not afraid of fire, won't drown, won't get tired. Moving things, fighting fires, fishing things underwater, farming and planting trees, you can ask skeletons for help. Unfortunately, our place is too small to afford skeletons. Now it's good, we have a skeleton."

"Thinking beautifully, you can't afford a skeleton, you have no money to pay commission." Several children ran away laughing.

Can do many things? Moving things? Fighting fires? Farming and planting trees? Planting trees?

Many fresh terms were heard by Great Xiao Gu for the first time, which made it somewhat blank, staring blankly there.

The sun set and night fell. Only then did Great Xiao Gu stop staring blankly and prepared to find a place to hide. This was a habit it had always maintained: work at sunrise, rest at sunset.

However, after walking only two steps, Great Xiao Gu felt something approaching. Turning its head to look, through the wall of the warehouse, Great Xiao Gu "saw" a human child groping over.

This human child was one of the children during the day. Just after turning the corner, he saw Great Xiao Gu looking in his direction, which startled him. With a swoosh, he shrank back and hid behind the wall, shivering.

After shivering for a while, the human child took a deep breath, encouraged himself a few times, and then walked out with courage. While taking out a soul crystal, he said tremblingly:

"Ske... ske... skeleton lord, I... can I hire... hire you to help me pick some herbs? My sister is sick and needs herbs to treat her illness. I can't pick some medicine. Can I hire you?" ===== CHAPTER 850 =====
