Ninth Squad station.
"Although the number of transportation to the county town has been much smaller during this period, some necessary things still cannot be stopped, especially as many businesses in the county town are waiting here, so there will be a batch of goods to be shipped to the county town tomorrow. Our Ninth Squad and Team 8 are responsible for one of the fleets."
All members of the 9th team were basically lined up in the station yard. In front of them was Wang Sanyang, who was speaking with a serious face.
"Give me a good rest tonight and be alert tomorrow morning. You can't make any mistakes in this transportation mission. Do you understand me?"
"Got it."
Team 9 members shouted back.
"Okay, let's all disperse and get ready for tomorrow's mission."
Finally, Wang Sanyang announced the disbandment of the team.
All Ninth Squad members dispersed.
"Brother Sheng, can you tell me whether we will encounter the robbers from before during our escort mission tomorrow?"
Walking outside, Xiao Shi approached Lin Sheng and asked with excitement on his face.
"I don't know. It's best not to encounter it."
Lin Sheng shook his head slightly and replied.
He could clearly see the excitement on the young man's face.
He could basically guess what was going on in his mind. The robbery of the Town Mountain Tower transport team made quite a fuss this time, and basically the entire Town Mountain Tower's attention was attracted.
If anyone can kill a few marauding bandits at this time, and be favored by the senior management of the Beast Hunter Hall or Town Mountain Tower, he may be transferred out of the Beast Hunter Hall and transferred to other good positions. This is much better than having to enter Yangping Mountain to complete the task in a precarious situation.
"You, Old Zhou and the others just stay with me during the mission tomorrow."
He finally spoke.
After all, he has a pretty good impression of the team members under his command. If he encounters any danger and has the ability, he doesn't mind protecting them.
Coming out of the station, Lin Sheng walked straight in the direction of Song's Pharmacy.
I plan to ask if there is any high-level Mortal Beast blood, and buy some poisonous weeds and flowers by the way.
I bought a bamboo hat from a roadside stall and put it on my head, then walked into Song's Pharmacy. As soon as I entered, I happened to meet the steward Song Chuan who was about to go out.
When he saw the figure of Lin Sheng, the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment. He quickly recognized it and stopped immediately with a smile on his face.
"It's better to come early than to come early. The guest is just in time. A high-end Mortal Beast happened to be delivered to me. I was about to pick it up. If the guest is not in a hurry, he can come with me."
"Really? That's just right. I'll go over and take a look."
Lin Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he didn't expect that he would catch up with a high-level Mortal Beast this time.
After dissecting the corpse and bleeding it, the amount will definitely be enough for you to put into your body.
"May I ask Manager Song who this time is Strange Beast?"
As the two walked side by side, Lin Sheng asked.
"This high-end Mortal Beast is relatively rare, it is a Man-Faced Spider."
Manager Song said with a smile.
"Speaking of which, this Man-Faced Spider was not discovered from Yangping Mountain, but was caught from one of our Song's Pharmacy medicine fields."
"Man-Faced Spider? In the medicine field?" Lin Sheng was a little surprised.
"That's right, it was discovered from our Spider Orchid Flower medicine field. Speaking of which, this Man-Faced Spider poisoned more than a dozen of our medicine farmers, and there was no sound at all when killing people."
Song Chuan felt a little sad and seemed to have thought of something bad.
"When our guards found Man-Faced Spider, he was lying on the face of a pesticide farmer and swallowing it. The scene was terrifying to think about."
"Fortunately, we shot it directly while it was eating, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with this thing."
During the conversation, the two of them had arrived at their destination.
On a bare carriage, Lin Sheng saw the so-called Man-Faced Spider in a wooden box half a person's height.
This is a giant gray spider that is half the size of a human. Although it does not look small, the entire body is very slender and flat, and can even fit on the ground. The back of the spider has lines that are quite similar to a human face.
This is also the origin of the name Man-Faced Spider.
He has never seen Strange Beast like Man-Faced Spider, but there are some records on Hundred Beasts Scroll. Of course, the content is not much. It just says that its body contains highly toxic substances, which will kill ordinary people if it touches it. Even the spider silk it spits out contains highly toxic substances.
The poison contained in its body ranks among the top among high-level Mortal Beast, and is much more toxic than Black Tiger Ape and Green Flower Python.
"If Man-Faced Spider enters the body, it can just make up for the third type of poison Three Corpses Soul Severing Palm."
Lin Sheng secretly thought in his heart. After hearing Song Chuan say Man-Faced Spider's name, he had already made up his mind to take it into his body.
"The one inside is Man-Faced Spider. The size of this insect-like Strange Beast cannot be compared with other Strange Beast. The amount of blood contained in the body is not much, so if you want its blood, the price will be doubled compared to the previous price."
After seeing that Lin Sheng had confirmed Man-Faced Spider, Song Chuan said directly.
"Okay," Lin Sheng nodded. The price given by the other party was still within a reasonable range.
However, at this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded from the side.
"It's really Man-Faced Spider, Song Chuan, I want this Man-Faced Spider."
The person who spoke was an old woman wearing a gray rag robe and holding a crooked cane.
The old woman has an ugly face, her head is full of dull gray hair, like weeds, her dead fish eyes are slightly outward, and she is looking at Man-Faced Spider in the box with excitement.
"Snake Hag, why are you here?" After seeing the old woman, Song Chuan frowned, with a look of surprise on his face, but he quickly thought of something.
"It must be that guy Song Hai..."
"How do I know? You don't have to worry about it. Okay, now wrap up this Man-Faced Spider for me. I just want to refine a furnace of poison pills, so this Man-Faced Spider comes at the right time."
The old woman named Snake Hag didn't care about Song Chuan's words, but urged her loudly.
"This Man-Faced Spider can be sold to you, but I have already sold its blood to this customer, so Snake Hag, please wait while I drain out all the spider blood first."
Song Chuan Although he didn't seem to want to deal with the other party, he seemed to be a little afraid of the other party, and he paused and said.
"Huh!?"
Hearing this, Snake Hag's eyes just moved away from Man-Faced Spider and fell on Song Chuan. The hoarse voice made people feel inexplicably shuddering.
"I told you to wrap this Man-Faced Spider for me, didn't you understand?"
"This..."
Song Chuan's scalp was slightly numb. Although they Song's Pharmacy had the background of the Hundred Herbs Hall in the city, and every force in the county had to give some face, the old crazy woman in front of them was a complete lunatic.
He looks like an old man in his sixties or seventies, but his real age is only in his early 40s. He practices a poisonous skill. He is in contact with various poisons on daily basis, and he has long been a little crazy and possessed.
Moreover, his strength is quite good. Although he is only at the early stage of muscle forging, his poisonous skills are hard to guard against. Even ordinary late Muscle Forging masters can fall into his hands.
He has good strength and a moody temper that can poison others at every turn, so even with the Hundred Herbs Hall's background, he doesn't want to provoke others.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but scolded Song Hai several times in his heart.
But his eyes were still inevitably looking at Lin Sheng, with a look of apology on his face.
"This guest, why don't we forget it this time. Next time we have high-level Mortal Beast blood, I will definitely keep the first one for you and give you a discount on the price..."
Although Lin Sheng hid his face, after several interactions, he could see that the other party seemed not too old and not very strong, so comparing the two, he finally chose to let Lin Sheng take a step back.
"No need." Before the other party could finish speaking, Lin Sheng shook his head slightly to interrupt. He looked at Snake Hag, who was stooped and only a little over 1.4 meters tall, and cupped his hands.
"Senior, I only want the blood from this Man-Faced Spider. If you want this blood, I can share half of it with you. What do you think?"
His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and his words were full of sincerity. Although he didn't know where this old woman was from, looking at Song Chuan's attitude, it was obvious that she also had something.
So he thought for a moment before making such a suggestion.
The range of blood requirements for Strange Beast to enter the body is not only related to the body shape, but also related to the grade of Strange Beast.
The higher the level of Strange Beast, the more blood it requires. This is his experience of entering the body many times.
This Man-Faced Spider is a high-end Mortal Beast, and its size is small. He estimated that it would take about 1/3 of the blood to enter the body. Even if there were some discrepancies and he bought half of it, it would still be enough.
As for activating the second mark, a Strange Beast with a size like Man-Faced Spider only has a few kilograms of blood and cannot gain much progress after entering the body, so it is nothing to give some to the other party.
"Half of me? Humph, you still want half of what the old woman likes. You are a hidden piece of trash. Now get away while I am in a good mood. Maybe I will spare your life."
Hearing Lin Sheng's words, Snake Hag sneered as if he heard a joke, his hoarse and unpleasant voice was quite harsh.
During the whole process, he didn't even look at Lin Sheng, but instead urged Song Chuan beside him.
"No need to discuss..."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng shook his head slightly and sighed, his tone a little lower.
"Discuss!?" Snake Hag seemed to hear the difference in the other party's tone. Snake Hag sneered. Just as he was about to say something more, he felt a strong wind coming from behind him.
"Dare you attack me!?" This thought immediately came to her mind. She was laughing and angry at the same time, turning around and waving the staff. Although her stature was stooped, her movements were extremely fast. She even pressed the hand holding the staff, opening the poisonous mechanism hidden in the staff.
She didn't take Lin Sheng seriously at all. She stayed with all kinds of poisonous insects all day long, and while practicing poisonous skills, she also had her own detection methods.
She can roughly determine the realm of the people around her based on the poisonous insects on her body. When she came here just now, she had already determined that the cultivation level of the man in the bamboo hat who was hiding his head and tail was not high.
However, in his imagination, there was no scream of the other party being poisoned, but instead the sound of cracking wood came from beside him.
Before she could realize what had happened, her vision when she turned her head was already occupied by a large, rough hand.
Bang!
Amidst the muffled sound, Snake Hag's thin and short body was directly slapped to the ground.
"Then don't discuss it!!"
Looking at the thin figure that was pushed to the ground by him, he spoke calmly.
I felt a wave of strength seeming to come from the palm of my hand, struggling desperately.
Lin Sheng puts more force on his hands.
Knock...
He directly pressed Snake Hag's entire head into the yellow mud. The strength of his constant struggle was completely dissipated, and he had obviously fainted.
At this time, he just stood up, looked at Song Chuan who had not yet reacted, smiled and said.
"Okay, the unruly loser is out, now let's continue trading."
"This..."
Song Chuan opened his mouth. He had just reacted and looked at Snake Hag who was buried in the soil from the shoulders up. He wanted to say something, but in the end he only spit out one good word.
"A total of six hundred and thirty taels... Guest, please give me 600 taels."
"Okay." He took out a few treasure notes from his arms, threw them directly to Lin Sheng, and then grabbed the lifeless Man-Faced Spider from the box.
Six hundred taels is the price of the whole Man-Faced Spider. Although the Man-Faced Spider is not large in size, its quantity is relatively rare among high-end Mortal Beast. Therefore, the price is considered to be relatively high among high-end Mortal Beast. This price is very reasonable.
Holding Man-Faced Spider, he looked at Snake Hag who was still buried motionless on the ground. He walked over and touched it with a frown. After turning out several bottles and jars and a few treasure notes, he saw that there was nothing there. After a slight hesitation, he ignored the other person and turned around to leave.
Originally, he planned to kill the opponent directly, but considering that he was now in Yangping Town, with Song Chuan and others watching around him, it seemed a little inappropriate.
So let's spare the other person's life for the time being, and soon he disappeared in the yard.
Song Chuan looked at Lin Sheng's disappearing back, and finally turned his gaze to Snake Hag on the ground. He was a little undecided for a moment. Should he go up and pull it out or what?
When he was feeling melancholy, Snake Hag, who looked like a dead person on the ground, suddenly started to move. He put his hands and feet on the ground, like a spider, pouting backward desperately.
Finally, with a bang like pulling out a carrot, Snake Hag's head was finally pulled out.
At this time, her facial features were flattened, and drops of blood flowed from her nose. It was obvious that her nose was completely broken and stuck to her face, making her already ugly face even more unsightly.
"How... how dare you do this to me, I will never let you go..."
On the ugly face, a hoarse, unpleasant and spiteful voice sounded.
However, before she could finish speaking, a strong wind sounded behind her head, and the head that had just been pulled out was pressed into the ground again.
But this time it wasn't just the head that was pushed into the ground, the tyrannical force actually drove most of his body into the ground.
"To cut the weed, you still have to get rid of the roots. If you don't get rid of it, it won't work..."
The instigator clapped his hands, muttered, and disappeared into the courtyard in an instant.
The person who took action was none other than Lin Sheng who had returned. Originally, he really planned to let this old thing go.
But not far away, he regretted it again. He had already taken action, so it was better to kill him. It didn't matter if he was seen. No one would know who he was with the hat anyway.
The Song Chuan people in the yard were still confused and didn't react for a long time.
