Chapter 1173.
“So you’re here to look for Iwamitsu and the others.”
Seeing that Xu Chuniang wasn’t looking for trouble, the person who asked was relieved.
“A few of them, they took on a big order a while ago, and they leave early and return late every day, sometimes they don’t even come back at night.”
“Received a big order?”
“Yes, it should be from the hands of which chamber of commerce to take the job, they are in the western suburbs over there to sort out the body of sandworms, you find rock light, go to the western suburbs over there on the line.”
“Thanks.”
After Xu Chuniang thanked this person, she headed towards the west, and when she arrived at the western suburb, she really saw the figure of Rock Light and the others.
In addition to Rock Light and his group, there were quite a few cultivators around who were disposing of the corpses of sand beasts.
The wind and sand on this side of the western suburb was particularly strong, and the remains of the sand beasts that had been disposed of and thrown here would be crushed into obliterating powder in just a few days, mixing with the sand and soil.
When Xu Chuniang arrived, Yan Guang and the others were focused on the task at hand and did not notice her presence at first.
It wasn’t until she approached that they abruptly realized.
Yan Guang’s face showed a look of surprise, ”Senior, you’re back! I knew that you would be able to return safely!”
Xu Chuniang nodded slightly, seeing that the surprise on Yan Guang’s face did not seem to be fake, her heart felt a few more points of satisfaction.
“I took a bit of a detour when getting rid of that Insect King, and came back a bit late.”
Upon hearing this, Yan Guang revealed an expression of wanting to speak, as if he had something to say, but didn’t quite dare.
Xu Chuniang saw his expression in her eyes, “If you have something to say, you can say it if you want to.”
“This …… old man has a small suggestion, senior listen to it, if you think the old man is wrong, please do not take it personally.”
Rock Light surveyed Xu Chuniang’s complexion and spoke with deliberation.
“This time, the reason why the insect king that lies dormant deep beneath the ground of the Sandworm Mound showed up was all because you, Taoist Friend, killed too many sandworms in a short period of time, and that’s what angered the dormant insect king.
Senior’s skill is so high that he can easily get rid of the Bug King’s pursuit, but I feel that if you kill fewer sandworms and leave the Sandworm Mound before angering the Bug King, you may be able to avoid dealing with the Bug King ……”
Xu Chuniang was a bit surprised, her time in Prisoner Sand Mountain was too short, her knowledge of sand beasts wasn’t much, and it was the first time she heard such a statement.
“Killing too many Sandworms will attract the hostility of the Bug King?”
“Not bad, the Sandworm Mound’s sandworms are all the Bug King’s children and offspring, and too many deaths and injuries will naturally be noticed by the Bug King.”
Rock Light also remembered this only after the fact, at that time in the Sandworm Mound, he was mesmerized by the mountain full of sandworm corpses, where else could he have thought about this.
Xu Chuniang pondered, “Then if one kills a large number of gerbils in a short period of time, will it attract the Rat King’s pursuit?”
“Sandbeasts are group-living ferocious beasts, and there is one or more Demon King level sandbeasts in each group, but regardless of the race, too many deaths and injuries of the same kind will inevitably attract the vigilance and hostility of Demon King level sandbeasts.
As long as senior pays a little attention and doesn’t cause excessive killing, he won’t be targeted by the Demon King-class Sand Beasts.”
“I understand, I will seriously consider what you said.”
Xu Chuniang had a number in her heart, in a short period of time, the Sandworm Mound could no longer be visited, and in the future, when she went to other Sand Beast settlements, she would have to control her proportions as well.
Her gaze crossed from the others, “The sandworm corpses that you guys picked up, how are they being handled?”
“These days rushing day and night, already finished processing a small half, just that the sandworm corpses we brought back are just too much, I’m afraid that we still need more than twenty days before all the sandworm corpses can be fully processed.”
Speaking of this, a trace of nervousness grew in Yan Guang’s heart, worried that Xu Chuniang felt that they were working too slowly.
Xu Chuniang saw his concern and shook her head slightly, “There’s no rush, these sandworm corpses are not worth anything, you guys just take your time. After a while, I plan to make a trip to the Sandwolf Plains, at that time, you don’t have to go with me, I will collect the Sandwolf corpses back and hand them over to you to deal with. “
At those words, the color of surprise flashed in Rock Light’s eyes.
This time, they had made quite a profit, but the Sand Worm King that appeared at the end had really scared a few people.
Luckily, the Sandworm King had not rushed at them, or else where would they have survived?
If Xu Chuniang was willing to help them collect the corpses of the sand beasts, the safety of the several people would undoubtedly be greatly increased.
Yan Guang was both surprised and a little hesitant, “Will this be too much trouble for you?”
“No trouble, it’s just a matter of passing by, the Sand Wolf Plains are too far from Sand City, and the terrain is complicated, so there’s no need for you guys to follow.”
Earlier, Xu Chuniang had abandoned those sandworm corpses, all because she had no time to deal with them.
Now that she had someone to do the job for her, after killing the sand beasts, she would just put the corpses away, there was no need for these people to follow her on a trip.
“Many thanks to senior for your compassion.”
Rock Light bowed deeply, “Although we are useless, but we have also stayed in this Sand City for some years, if senior has any orders, just let me know.”
Xu Chuniang was satisfied with Yan Guang’s attitude and took out a summoning talisman and handed it to him.
“Alright, I still have some things to do, so I’ll leave first, if you guys have any situation, feel free to summon me.”
Looking at the direction Xu Chuniang left, Yan Guang’s heart was filled with emotion, they had met a noble person.
The rest of the few people also shared the same feeling, although this Prisoner Sand Mountain was in a remote location and in a harsh environment, it was full of treasures.
It was a pity that their strength was low, and they had stayed here for many years, but had not been able to earn many magic crystals.
Now, there was finally a hint of a turnaround.
Rock Light suddenly looked at the several people with a serious expression.
“You guys remember, if anyone asks us about senior or where she came from, just say that she’s from the merchant group, got it?”
The remaining few people immediately comprehended what Rock Light meant, “Don’t worry Elder Rock, we have the numbers.”
Rock Light nodded with satisfaction, “Get to work, after you finish with these things, you still have to go into the city to find outlets and sell the goods.”
Elder had already taken care of them enough, these small matters, naturally, she could not be bothered with them anymore.
At the same time, Xu Chuniang entered Sand City after leaving the western suburbs.
After entering the city, she went directly to the largest merchant house and explained her intentions.
The shopkeeper learned that she had a large amount of goods on hand to get out, and specially received her in an elegant room, “I heard that little friend has quite a lot of goods on hand?”
Xu Chuniang didn’t sell any secrets, taking out a pair of sandworm eyes and placing them on the table, “This, does your merchant house accept it?”
Seeing the goods on the table, an obvious disappointment appeared in the eyes of the shopkeeper, and the smile on his face faded.
“If all the goods in little friend’s hand are this kind of goods, there is no need to take them out, our merchant bank is the biggest merchant bank in Sand City, we don’t accept everything.”
Sandworms were one of the most common sand beasts in the Imprisoned Sand Mountain, and sandworm eyes were naturally considered nothing rare.
The shopkeeper had seen a lot of good things, and it was clear that he didn’t see this thing.
Xu Chuniang didn’t seem to see the dislike in his eyes, patiently asking, “I have many sandworm eyes on hand, is the shopkeeper sure he doesn’t want them?”
