Lord of Rot

Chapter 291 Bloody and strange red dress

"Wait a minute, I still have a meat ticket." Old Baifa quickly took out the meat ticket, held it up and said, "It can be exchanged for a pound of meat!"

"We don't trade meat here." The man pointed to an empty shop next door and said, "Go there and trade meat."

"Yes, thank you!"

He came out carrying his oats and walked quickly to the butcher's shop next door.

The blacksmiths behind Old Baifa also successfully obtained meat, and there was another burst of exclamation.

"I'm going to the steward to exchange for food stamps!"

"In exchange for food stamps?" Old Baifa thought. If he could really exchange for more food stamps at a cheap price, it would be a sure profit.

He followed him to find the steward, but was told that the steward had already gone to the inner fort, which was guarded by soldiers and they could not enter.

I can only wait until tomorrow to change it.

The blacksmiths turned around and went home after a tiring day.

But Old Baifa went around in a circle and returned to the street of shops, and then walked to the butcher shop. This time he became more confident: "I have meat tickets here, I want to exchange them for meat!"

The dozing man heard the voice and opened his eyes: "Bring me the meat tickets."

"Give!"

The other party reached out and took the meat ticket.

Bang!

A piece of "pork" with large bones and no meat was thrown in front of Old Baifa.

Although they were all bones, Old Baifa was very happy to finally be able to eat meat.

Old Baifa asked: "How much is the price of meat?"

"Only for meat tickets," the man working there said: "The meat is all brought by the lord from outside. There is not that much, and we won't sell it for any money."

The other party's attitude was a bit impatient. Old Baifa thought this attitude was normal. If he were suffering from a store full of meat, he would definitely be more arrogant than him. After all, the grease on his hands every day is enough to satisfy his hunger.

"Thank you."

Old Baifa carried the meat and grain and walked quickly towards home.

The neighbors looked at him carrying a piece of meaty bone with surprised eyes, wondering where he got it from.

Opening the door, the little grandson ran over: "Grandpa! I'm hungry."

"Haha, let's eat meat today!"

"Eating meat?" The little grandson hugged Old Baifa's calf and opened his eyes wide.

"Eat meat!"

The meat and oats are poured into the pot and stewed. Nothing is added, but the aroma wafts far away...

"Sir, hay completely disobeys your order." Lacey stood on the city wall and said to Li Qi, who was looking at the woods outside the castle: "You asked him to promote food stamps, but he actually sold the food stamps you gave for free and spent the money Put it in his own pocket."

"Don't be too nervous, Lacey," Li Qi said calmly: "Only when he can see the benefits of food stamps can he seriously promote food stamps. Only the people in Iron Wall Fort can see the benefits of food stamps. He is just making some money." It’s just a small profit.”

Hay can only earn a dozen silver months at most.

For this profit, Hayao is racking his brains to study and implement food stamps, which saves Li Qi a lot of energy.

He only wants these people to survive, and if he can establish his majesty during this period, it will be a sure profit.

"There are still some people who buy a lot of food and plan to hoard it." Lacey asked: "Do you want me to lead people to arrest these bastards? You kindly sold food so that they would not starve to death, but these people failed you. , just want to take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune."

"No need," Li Qi said, "If they want to hoard food, let them do it. If someone wants to steal their food, they must let the soldiers protect them."

Lacey was puzzled.

Reach asked, "Lacey, how long do you think this will last?"

"It won't be long" Lacey shook his head.

No matter where those vine corpses come from, the first thing that can be determined is that they are not really immortal. They will die if they are hit in the head, and they cannot be resurrected after dying again.

Secondly, they cannot leave the Iron Valley. The entire Iron Valley only has a maximum number of twenty or thirty thousand people, so there is an upper limit to the number of vine corpses.

Finally, they fear armies.

It seems that Li Qi's team is trapped in the Iron Wall Castle because he is still dealing with the internal affairs of the castle. It will take at least a few days for more than 3000 people to settle down, but he just hasn't yet. Just take out your hand and show it to the outside world.

It had only been two or three days since he broke into the Iron Wall Fort.

If it were a legion war, the number of nobles at the meeting would not have been gathered yet.

"That's right, it won't be long before they want to buy our food at a high price. Then sell it to them," Li Qi said. "I have written to ask for help. Food and support troops will come. There will be no shortage of food." .”

night.

A corpse bird flew away from the Iron Wall Castle in the night and flew toward the northeast.

Li Qi's consciousness was completely immersed in controlling the corpse bird.

Flying high in the sky, he could look out over the beach beyond the cliffs of Iron Valley.

After flying for some distance, a small building complex on a hillside caught Li Qi's attention.

"monastery!"

The bird's wings fluttered slightly and it plunged towards the monastery.

"Hiss, so many?"

Before flying to the monastery, you can see corpses wrapped with spiked vines in the distance, wandering aimlessly.

A rough count shows that the number is at least one or two thousand.

The vine corpses hiding in corners without showing up, or the vine corpses in other villages in the Iron Valley were not included.

"There are at least ten thousand people in the entire Iron Valley!"

Different from the rabble of Wodu Eighteen, these monsters only have their heads as their weak point, they are not afraid of death, and their combat effectiveness is no worse than ordinary mercenaries.

Well-prepared porcupine soldiers may be able to kill a few with muskets, but when they are entangled in vines in close combat, there is only a dead end.

"Fortunately, I wrote a letter to ask Guy to bring the monkey soldiers over. Two hundred elite fearless corpses should be able to sustain it for a while."

It is necessary to destroy the vine corpses, otherwise the oil extraction will be affected.

Although his use of the corpses of two hundred elite monkeys this time might reveal that Shuijian Land was not under control, Li Qi could no longer care so much.

The corpse bird lowered its flying height without attracting the attention of any vine corpses.

Even when he tried to stop on the shoulder of a vine corpse, the other party didn't respond.

"It shows that they do not rely on sound to determine the direction, but have a more magical reason."

Spread your wings and take off again.

Most of these vine corpses are farmers and peasant women. Their common features are a small flower growing on a certain part of the body and vines growing out of the skin.

Some of the corpses turned out to be mercenaries.

Members of the Red Stone Mercenary Group who had clashed with Chui Na in Iron Stone City were among them. Although Li Qi could not recognize their blooming faces, he recognized their mercenary logos.

"Did all the more than 2000 mercenaries die here?"

No wonder that group of people came to Iron Valley but didn't cause any movement. It was as if they had evaporated. It turned out that the entire army had been wiped out here.

Thrilling.

The corpse bird paused its wings and perched on a branch, looking through an open window into the interior of the monastery.

A woman in a red dress turned her back to him.

Under the cold moonlight, the woman's body was wrapped in a floor-length red dress, which looked strange and beautiful at the same time.

"The woman in the Black King's memory?"

Li Qi controlled the corpse bird to fly into the monastery, wanting to get a closer look at the opponent.

The woman in the red dress didn't make any movement, as if she didn't notice Li Qi approaching.

In front of him, Li Qi's heart twitched violently.

Her skin had holes as thick as a little finger, so densely packed that it was impossible to count how many there were.

Vine branches emerged from the holes, and bloody and strange little flowers bloomed on the branches.

There are countless strange flowers growing in countless holes, and these patterns form a beautiful "red skirt" in Li Qi's eyes.
