Mysterious Merchant?

Chapter 28 Mysterious Merchant?

Driven by a certain streamer, a wave of beast taming swept through the game.

Many players began to team up and head to the Liuli District to find lone beasts, learning from the streamer's methods to tame them.

Although the success rate was extremely low, the players enjoyed it. Soon, some players were riding huge Corpse Wolves, making those who failed to tame them envious.

At this time, a small team of three was trying to tame a Corpse Wolf in the Liuli District.

Watching the Corpse Wolf tied to a tree, struggling frantically, the three used various methods. Just as the Corpse Wolf was tortured to the point of near death, and they thought they were about to succeed, a figure suddenly appeared beside the tree.

With the appearance of that figure, the trees began to wither rapidly, and the dying Corpse Wolf whimpered in terror.

Strands of black gas emerged from the Corpse Wolf and quickly drilled into the black-robed figure's body.

"Damn it, you're asking for death!"

Seeing that the taming was about to succeed, but it was ruined by the figure in front of them, the three players were very angry, drew their weapons, and were about to step forward to argue.

But at this moment, the black-robed figure turned around, revealing the dark, gleaming skeleton under the black robe. The scarlet pupils flashed suddenly, and several black vines emerged from the ground, trapping the three players in place.

"I ask, you answer." A hoarse voice came from the Soul Ferrying Envoy.

"NPC?" Seeing this person, the three players were stunned.

"NPC?" The Soul Ferrying Envoy was also a little puzzled, not knowing why these people called him that.

Looking at the struggling players, the Soul Ferrying Envoy stretched out his hand again, and the black vines tightened even more:

"Tell me, where do you come from, and do you know why the Ghost Overseer stationed here died?"

"Are you from Cha Na, the Ghost General?"

The three players were not stupid and immediately guessed the person's origin.

"That's right, I am a Soul Ferrying Envoy under Lord Cha Na. Now, can you tell me your origins and the matter of the Ghost Overseer?"

The three looked at each other when they heard this.

"Are we done for?"

"Maybe, the creditor is coming to collect. I remember I kicked that Ghost Overseer Commander once."

"Shh, he's listening..."

"Did you kill Third Ghost?" Hearing their conversation, the flames in the Soul Ferrying Envoy's pupils suddenly rose.

"No, with your strength, how could you kill Third Ghost!"

"Isn't he just an NPC? Why are you talking so loudly? As if we're afraid of you. If you have the guts, let us go, and we'll duel you one-on-one after I change class!" The leading player said with dissatisfaction.

"Change class?"

The Soul Ferrying Envoy heard the unfamiliar word again and seemed very puzzled.

"I'll give you one last chance!" The Soul Ferrying Envoy's patience was gradually wearing down, and he didn't want to continue talking to these three strange creatures.

"Don't kill us, we three are very vengeful. Whoever kills us, we will kill them back. Don't make a mistake."

"Yes, yes, yes, if you kill us, we will definitely come to you for revenge when we become stronger!"

"Heh heh, seek revenge after death? I don't think you'll even have the chance to turn into initial souls."

However, seeing the attitude of these three, the Soul Ferrying Envoy knew that he could not get anything out of them, so he stretched out his hand again, and a cloud of black mist poured into the vines.

The vines that absorbed the black mist grew rapidly, and at the same time, sharp black thorns grew out of the vines, piercing into the players' bodies and wriggling.

"Huh? Unable to absorb the spirit!" The Soul Ferrying Envoy was surprised to find that the souls of these three players could not be absorbed, as if some powerful force had fixed these three souls in their bodies.

Not believing it, the Soul Ferrying Envoy waved his hand again, and a large cloud of black mist poured into the vines, and the color of the vine's skin showed mottled red spots, looking very evil.

Under the huge strangulation of the vines, the three players who had turned on pain shielding died with a depressed look, and the corpses on the ground began to slowly turn into black mist and dissipate.

But what made the Soul Ferrying Envoy feel incredible was that there was no trace of Soul Power loss in the bodies of these three dead creatures, and the souls that were originally fused into the flesh had also disappeared inexplicably.

"This... how is this possible!"

This strange scene completely stunned the Soul Ferrying Envoy. One must know that the law of the Underworld is that after a creature dies, its soul enters reincarnation, and Soul Power dissipates and merges into the world. Everything that happened before his eyes completely subverted the Soul Ferrying Envoy's understanding.

Just as the Soul Ferrying Envoy was lost in thought, a five-person team emerged in the distance.

"Boss, look at that guy in the distance!"

The one called Boss was a Berserker carrying a giant sword, whose purpose in coming to the Liuli District was also to tame beasts.

Hearing his subordinate's words, the Berserker raised his head and glanced at the Soul Ferrying Envoy beside the withered tree not far away:

"What's wrong? I don't see anything wrong."

"Don't you think that appearance is a bit like that hidden NPC, the Mysterious Merchant, that the officials announced?"

"Mysterious Merchant?" Hearing this, the leading Berserker's body shook.

Regarding the Mysterious Merchant, many players had only heard the name but never seen the real person, but the players knew one thing, and that was that they could buy many good things from this NPC that they couldn't buy in the mall.

They had seen on the forum that a lucky guy happened to encounter the Mysterious Merchant, and after some bargaining, spent 5 Soul Coins to buy a fragment of the Rune Warrior class change material, and then sold it for more than 100 Soul Coins.

At the time, it made them envious for a while.

"Brothers, we've struck it rich!"

Excited expressions appeared on the faces of the five-person team, and they quickly ran towards the Soul Ferrying Envoy, fearing that he would disappear.

The Soul Ferrying Envoy, still in shock, seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned his head to look at the five players in the distance who were running towards him with joy on their faces.

After running closer, the leader came to the Soul Ferrying Envoy and patted him on the shoulder:

"Brother, are you selling goods? I'll buy!"

Soul Ferrying Envoy: "???"

"First time unfamiliar, second time familiar, it's fate that we meet, it's all destined, how about a discount?"

The Soul Ferrying Envoy was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

He didn't know if these strange creatures he had never seen before had their brains filled with turbid air, and the words they spoke were completely incomprehensible.

Seeing the Soul Ferrying Envoy who had been silent, the leading Berserker felt a little uneasy.

Could it be that my way of bargaining is wrong? But the guy on the forum who met the Mysterious Merchant didn't say how to bargain, so what should I do?

After thinking about it, the Berserker smiled again and patted the Soul Ferrying Envoy on the shoulder:

"Brother, let's take a look at the goods first, I heard you have a lot of good things here."

"Yes, yes, let us see the rare items you have here first." The four players next to him also said excitedly.
