Chapter 23 Now it's dead (Third update)

  As if sensing someone's arrival, the old man opened his eyes and scanned Su Ming with a glance, revealing a hint of surprise. After taking a closer look for several moments, he closed his eyes again.

  Su Ming stared at a blue object on the beast skin, which looked like a plate with very sharp edges, but there were several cracks on it, and the deepest one almost pierced through the object.

  It was quietly placed on the animal skin, occasionally emitting a faint flash of light, making people see it and have an illusion as if this object had life.

  In the intersecting cracks, Su Ming could vaguely see some carvings on it, depicting a ferocious ghost face, which was very frightening.

  "This is a crude and inferior sword, one that you cannot afford." As Su Ming observed, an aged voice came from beside his ear. He lifted his head to see the old man sitting cross-legged nearby.

  "What's a barbaric device?" Su Ming took a deep breath, he had been guessing before, from the beast skin book he had learned that the barbaric device was an extremely precious thing, only strong people who opened the dust boundary could have and refine it. As for those in the blood condensation boundary, it was difficult to obtain, even if they did, it was often passed down by the tribe, and the tribe must be able to protect this object from being taken away by the strong people of the open dust boundary.

  "This thing is already damaged and can't be used, but after all, it was refined by a strong man in the Kai Chen realm. It's worth selling for 1,000 stones." The old man said slowly.

  Su Ming looked at the blue plate, his eyes revealing a longing and envy, but he only had five stone coins on him, which was far from enough to buy it.

  Heaving a sigh, Su Ming looked at the blue plate a few more times before reluctantly walking away.

  "I wonder when I'll have a barbarian instrument of my own..." Su Ming walked through the department, muttering to himself. There were many people in this department selling animal hides, but after walking around for a while, Su Ming didn't see anyone selling barbarian instruments again.

  But Luo Yun suddenly stood up.

  "What is this medicine? Where did you get it from? What effect does it have?" The big man stared at the object in his hand for half a moment, then looked up at Su Ming with a serious gaze, and a strange glint flashed across his pupils.

  "I saw this beast on the way to this village." Su Ming didn't answer the other party's question, but suddenly spoke up. As he spoke, he put down the woven basket behind him and raised his right hand to grab something from inside. The basket shook violently for a moment before a bound ferret was pulled out by Su Ming and placed on the ground.

  That lynx's complexion was wan and sallow, but its eyes revealed a fierce glint, only its body had some unhealed wounds, especially being bound up, unable to escape.

  The big man was taken aback, clearly not understanding the meaning of the other's words. His gaze swept over the ermine, but it was just an ordinary wild beast and didn't arouse much attention from him.

  "So he casually picked it up, and you see, it's still alive..." Su Ming's voice was low and hoarse, but in this dimly lit tent, it seemed to have a somewhat eerie tone.

  "What are you talking about?" The big man frowned.

  "I'm telling you, it's still alive. Do you know why I caught it? Because its curiosity got the better of it and it followed me for a long time..." Su Ming's left hand lifted up and gently stroked the sable's body, but just as his hand passed over the unhealed wounds on the sable's body, suddenly the sable's entire body shook!

  No scream, not even a howl, just that one tremor, and its entire body suddenly turned into a bloody mist, as if the blood had been ignited. In the big man's stunned gaze, the beast's entire body dissipated, leaving behind only a pile of black and red intertwined bones.

  "Now it's dead......" Su Ming's left hand touched the beast's remaining bones, and immediately those bones turned to dust, scattering all over the ground.

  The big man inhaled sharply, his body unconsciously standing up and retreating several steps. His eyes revealed an uncontrollable terror and shock. He was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at Su Ming again, his gaze contained fear and reverence.

  "Despotic..."

  "Hmm?" Su Ming grunted.

  That big fellow was about to explain when he saw Su Ming wave his hand, seemingly impatient.

  "Tell me, what's the value of the thing you're holding in your hand? The effect of this thing is very simple, it can increase the effectiveness of the spiritual medicine by 10% when taking it. As for other questions, your curiosity is a bit too heavy." Su Ming said slowly.

  That big Han's face turned pale, the scene just now made him extremely frightened, and he didn't even feel the flow of blood in his opponent's body. The beast was right in front of him, its entire body had become a bloody mist.

  "This thing..." The big man calmed down for a moment, looked down and examined the round medicine in his hand.

  "Senior, I've never seen this thing before... This..." The big man hesitated to speak, if it were an ordinary guest, he would not be like this, but now being shocked by the scene just now, he did not dare to offend.

  "You can try it out on the spot. If it doesn't work, I'll get up and leave. If it does, then we can talk about value." Su Ming spoke in a calm and unhurried tone, sitting there with a slow opening of his mouth.

  The big man let out a sigh of relief, respectfully acknowledged it, and took out a small bell from his bosom. He shook it slightly, and immediately the tinkling sound spread out.

  Su Ming's gaze flashed imperceptibly, and he glanced at the bronze bell. His left hand, hidden in his fur coat, clenched into a fist, and some bloodstains remained on it.

  The third watch is over, today's small explosion.
