Chapter 226 Harmonica
“This is the ability that all men dream of” The old man turned his head and said in a low voice.

“And then?” The former was mysterious, half said, half said, Tie Zha was a little impatient, then he frowned and asked in a deep voice.

“Normally, male insecticides with purple spectra have only two abilities: male and drone glands, while female insecticides reproduce as queen ants or queen bees.” The old man chuckled and continued, “The function of the male ant glands is much the same as that of the male peak glands. The only difference is the difference in endurance and frequency …”

“I see.” Tie Zha’s expression darkened as he interrupted the old man and turned around to continue reading the pamphlet.

Turning to the next page, he saw that the old yellowed paper said,

Rare class, No. 9982 (70% insecticide carapace, 30% insecticide elytra) 1500 gold; No. 10895 (acidified body fluid 80%, osteoformic acid 6%, cyan melittin 6%, golden scorpion venom 6%, celestial gland 1%, ant-eating spider venom 1%) 1200 gold; Number 16421 (33% of multiple nerves, 33% of multiple vision, 33% of multiple tympanic membranes, 1% of multiple repetitive brains) 3500 gold; No. 8795 (33% wing of Chrysopa, 33% wing of wasp, 33% wing of ant, 1% wing of butterfly) 20000 gold; Number 4368 (50% flea bounce, 50% locust bounce) 300 gold; No. 12771 (65% regeneration of Chrysopa, 30% regeneration of Heavenly Beetles, 5% regeneration of Plagueworms) 5000 gold; Number 7729 (Very Poisonous Bee Needle 70%, Very Poisonous Scorpion Tail 15%, Very Poisonous Spider Stinger 15%) 1700 gold …

“The first item is the number of the corpse, the second item is the probability of acquiring the ability, and the third item is the price.” The old man explained.

“Why don’t you write down the spectral colors here? Why do you write down the specific abilities instead?” Tie Zha asked curiously.

“The spectrum of basic abilities is pure, while the spectrum of rare abilities is mixed colors. First, mixed colors are hard to describe literally. Second, it is a secret manual passed down from generation to generation by our corpse transporters. Otherwise” The old man laughed and wrinkled his face. “Others will rob us of our abilities and then take away our business.”

Hearing the old man’s words, Tie Zha couldn’t help but look up at him. Judging from the price of the ability, the corpse transporter’s business was indeed profitable, and it would definitely attract the attention of most bug transformers.

The old man seemed to have noticed Tie Zha’s vigilant gaze and said with a dry smile, “This is the old rule of our corpse transporters … The old rule …” The latter looked at the empty sockets of the former’s eyes and thought to himself, “This old man clearly has no eyes, but his movements are not affected at all. His visual ability is even stronger than his, so he asked,” How do you see things? ”

“Brain wave sensing.” The old man gestured, “Just like the Abyss Hegemon of the swarm of bees and ants.”

When the old man mentioned the Hegemon of the Abyss, Tie Zha immediately remembered that he could absorb crystalline cores through gene plundering. He immediately asked this question. The old man replied without hesitation, The insecticide could not absorb the crystal nucleus, but the compound evolver of the insecticide and the psionic energy, the Psionic Worm Envoy, could directly absorb the psionic energy sand in the crystal nucleus to strengthen itself. As for the compound evolver of the insecticide and the traditional evolver, the Star Worm Envoy, because the number was too small, there was no relevant information recorded. However, theoretically speaking, the Stellar Worm Messenger had the ability to absorb crystalline cores, and compared to psionic energy practitioners below rank eight, they had a higher affinity for psionic energy sand.

After listening to the old man’s narrative, Tie Zha nodded and said, “Thank you.”

“Young man, if you are satisfied, you should be rewarded with a small sum of money.” The old man stretched out his thin hand and said calmly.

“Uh” Tie Zha was stunned, and the pamphlet in his hand almost fell to the ground. After a few seconds of silence, Tie Zha took out a gold coin and threw it over. When the old man heard the commotion, he immediately rolled his hands and smiled …

“Dingdang.” However, due to his nervousness, the old man’s hand trembled. As a result, the gold coin bounced off his finger and rolled on the ground. The old man let out a strange cry and rushed over with all his might. The gold coin rolled into the depths of the passageway. In the blink of an eye, the old man’s figure flickered, he turned sideways, rushed forward, and grabbed it with one hand. Then, with a “clang” sound, he smashed his head into a tin drawer at the side …

Tie Zhakou stared blankly at what was happening in front of him. It was only when the old man fell to the ground that he regained his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up.

The old man held the gold coin tightly with one hand and touched his forehead with the other as he sighed, “Aiya … old … old … useless …”

Looking at the old man who loved money as much as he could, Tie Zha subconsciously scratched his hair. He thought that it would be very difficult to lower the price later.

After a while, the old man recovered from his dizziness. Tie Zha pointed at one of the items numbered 8795 and asked, “What’s the difference between these four abilities?” The former then introduced that the flying speed of the wing was average, the durability of the membrane wing was also average, and the growth cycle was one week; The flying speed of the honeycomb wing is higher, the durability of the membrane wing is also higher, and the growth period is three months; Ant-shaped wings have lower flying speed and lower durability, but the growth cycle is very short, only eight hours; As for the butterfly wing, because it was not a membrane wing but a scale wing, regardless of flight speed, durability, or growth cycle, it was somewhat unsatisfactory. The only advantage was that it continued to fly for a longer period of time. The old man said that the spectra of the butterfly wings on the corpse numbered 8795 were negligible. Then, he emphasized, “Of course, if we happen to meet, there is nothing we can do.”

After listening to the old man’s narrative, Tie Zha nodded thoughtfully and continued to read the pamphlet. In the last ten pages, there were all sorts of rare abilities, but most of them were repetitive. However, the probability of acquiring them was somewhat different, and there were no abilities like [Lurking Parasite] and [Blade Knuckle Foot]. As he flipped through it, he turned to the last page.

“Is that all? Don’t you have any epic or legendary ones?” Tie Zha asked.

“Yes, yes, but it’s priceless.” The old man replied.

“What do you mean?” Tie Zha asked.

“It means you can’t buy it with money.” The old man added, “If you really come from the War Bear Temple, go back and ask your elders.”

“In any case, I don’t want to sell it, do I?” Tie Zha asked.

“Yes.” “Can you take a look?” “No.” The old man refused straightforwardly.

Tie Zha looked at the ceiling and thought for a while. Then, he picked up the brochure and turned to the second page. He pointed to the item “No. 8795” and said, “I want this, but I don’t have enough money. Can I get it cheaper?”

The old man waved his hand and said, “Young man, this old blind man only gave you this cost price because of your grand appearance and heroic aura. This price is already very low. I can’t lower it any further.”

“Forget it.” Tie Zha spread out his hands and said.

“How about this? It’s fate to meet in the vast sea of people. I’ll be three hundred gold cheaper. What do you think?” The old man discussed. Tie Zha shook his head and didn’t say anything. When the old man saw this, he frowned and thought for a while. Then, he stretched out five fingers and said loudly with a face full of grief, “Five hundred gold! Old Blind is risking his life. I’ll give you five hundred gold cheap.” Then, he helplessly nodded his head and sighed, “Alright … if we lose, then we lose. Who wants us to be fated?”

“I don’t have enough money.” Said Tie Zha.

“How many do you have?” The old man asked with a hopeful expression. Tie Zha glanced at the former, opened his palm, and stretched out five fingers.

“You dare to buy a flying wing with five thousand gold?” The old man said in surprise.

“Five hundred” Tie Zha corrected.

“You” The old man immediately opened his mouth wide, looking dumbfounded. Not long after, he recovered from his daze and said to Tie Zha, “How about a Basic Grade one? I’ll give you a Basic Grade one. It’ll be cheaper for you.”

“Not interested.” Tie Zha shook his head.

“How about … a flea bounce, only three hundred gold?” As the old man spoke, he laid on the ground and demonstrated, “Look, you can jump. Jump ten meters high, just like flying.”

“Not interested.” “Why don’t you get an ant-like muscle? This is the most practical one. Take a deep breath first, and then let out a loud roar. Instantly, your strength is as strong as an ox. It’s exactly 500 gold. I’ll give you another 20 gold cheaper. How about it?” The old man said excitedly.

“This is useless. Let’s talk about it later.” Said Tie Zha. Right now, he didn’t have much money on him, and the team’s salary was about to fall short. It would be better to wait until he earned money in the future.

“Young man, you can’t do this. You need to buy at least one ability to prove that you are an insecticide.” The old man’s expression darkened as he said, “Look, I’ve already brought you here. You should show some sincerity.”

“Did I force you to bring me here?” Tie Zha frowned and asked.

‘”Uh” The old man thought for a moment and said sincerely, “Young man, to tell you the truth, only a small number of insecticides in Sand Wind Castle know about the existence of the cold storage. They will not easily reveal this secret, so you must prove your identity. Otherwise … we will be eternal enemies.”

“Can you keep me?” Tie Zha asked in a deep voice.

“If necessary, I will blow this place up.” The old man replied indifferently. Although his voice was not loud, it contained an indescribable determination.

“I don’t have any money, why don’t you … give me an ability?” Tie Zha grinned and suggested.

“You” The old man shook his head helplessly like a deflated ball and said, “If I remember correctly, the person who recently found out about the existence of the cold storage and went to the Passenger Square is Old Locke. As far as I know, his adopted son died half a year ago. Now that he is fully dressed, he shouldn’t betray us.” At this point, the old man looked up at Tie Zha with his empty eyes and said solemnly, “Now, tell me, how did you gain Old Locke’s trust?”

Tie Zha hesitated for a moment, then recalled what he saw that day in the Guide Square. Finally, he made up his mind and slowly took out Cozan’s harmonica from his pocket. He believed that the dying old man would not harm him. It was because when he mentioned the Temple of Glory, he saw flames beating in the old man’s eyes.

It was the purest fire of faith in the world.

“This … this is!” The moment Tie Zha took out the silver harmonica, Old Blind was stunned. His expression froze as if he had suddenly frozen, and his body stiffened.

Time passed in a deathly silence …

The old man’s dull expression gradually turned into incomparable shock. At the same time, his entire body began to tremble. He involuntarily stretched out his thin hand towards Tie Zha and murmured, “Young man … can … can you … show me …”

Tie Zha stared at the harmonica in his hand. After a moment of silence, he slowly handed it over. The old man stretched out his hands to receive the harmonica, but just as he was about to touch the harmonica, he suddenly retracted his hand as if he had been struck by electricity. Immediately afterwards, he used both of his hands in a panic to rub his clothes, and he nervously repeated in a low voice, “The hands of the corpse carrier are too dirty, they can’t be touched … they can’t be touched … they can’t be touched …”

After a while, the old man gradually regained his calm. He raised his head and said to Tie Zha, “Young man, please put away your war song harmonica. You have already proved your identity.”
