Chapter 52 Centaurs, Trade, Vitality Orb

"So this is the effect of having true qi, casting spells, and using talismans!"

"Damn, what kind of garbage are these armored corpses? Refine them again, refine them again!"

Having mastered the Xuan Yin Gong, Wang Yong plunged into the graveyard to study the zombies he had been so obsessed with.

Without entering the Dao, one relies entirely on intuition when refining corpses and casting spells. Only when one refines true qi can one truly step onto the path of Dao, allowing for in-depth research and efficient zombie refining.

The more Wang Yong studied it, the more he discovered the power of cemetery architecture.

The corpse was buried in the cemetery and then specially refined according to the ritual method for refining the armored corpse.

When a new week arrives, these corpses have a chance to become armored zombies and crawl out of the graveyard, waiting to be recruited.

Wang Yong's research also received the strongest support from Heroic Iron Wall.

Both the Ironclad Corpse and the Zombie are 0-star elites, but the Ironclad Corpse has stronger defense and is more suitable for Iron Wall Command.

The armored corpse possesses invulnerability to weapons, combined with the defensive hero feat.

Invest some more Soul Coins to upgrade the 0-star elite Ironclad Corpse to a 1-star basic Ironclad Corpse, making it as tough as a city wall.

An iron-clad undead army needs such a sturdy front line.

While the Ironclad Corpses under Ironwall's command were still in research and production, some unexpected guests arrived in Blackrock Village.

It was Tuesday.

Ron, along with two warriors and a squad of apprentice warriors, went to the watchtower as usual to deliver food supplies to the spearmen and halberdiers, Jer.

When they were halfway there, they suddenly spotted five centaurs trailing far behind their column.

They didn't approach to attack, but simply followed from a distance.

The centaurs were all 1-star units, and Ron's side only had three 1-star units including himself, so he knew he was no match for these centaurs.

He hurried to the watchtower to seek help from the spearmen and halberdiers, including Jer.

However, their movement toward the watchtower did not provoke the centaurs to attack; they remained far behind.

"How strange, what exactly do these centaurs want?"

The halberdier Jer, who was in the watchtower, was also very puzzled by the motives of these centaurs.

But after observing them for a long time, the five and a half centaurs were still watching them from a distance in the watchtower, and did not leave.

After delivering the food, Ron was on his way back.

Concerned for the safety of Ron and the others, the halberdier Jell specially dispatched a squad of spearmen to escort them.

The centaurs did not attack Ron and his companions along the way.

Upon arriving at Blackrock Village, five and a half centaurs approached the village.

The centaur has the lower body of a horse and the upper body of a human, with abundant hair, resembling a barbarian.

They carried wooden spears with bone tips, seemingly lacking any metallurgical capabilities.

The centaurs spoke in a language that humans couldn't understand, gesticulating wildly and neighing incessantly, attempting to communicate with the people of Blackrock Village.

But because of the language barrier, what he said left everyone else completely bewildered.

Fortunately, Ron has the [Diplomacy] skill, which allows him to communicate with centaurs without any problems.

After some discussion,
Ron then learned that these centaurs came from the centaur tribe that lived in the stables near the watchtower.

They came to Blackstone Village to trade and exchange goods.

Ron asked curiously, "What do you want to trade, and what will you use in exchange?"

The leader of the five centaurs:

"We want to buy some food and also exchange it for some weapons!"

“Recently, there have been unusual movements in the dark forests of the north. Undead creatures have emerged from them, and my tribe has been affected. We need some weapons for self-defense!”

"We have some Black Iron Soul Coins and a tradable treasure!"

Ron did not immediately agree to the centaur's request:

"Sure, but I need to report to our lord first. You can go into the village and rest. We'll decide how to proceed with the transaction after I've reported to the lord!"

The five and a half men discussed the matter briefly, remaining vigilant and not daring to enter the village directly.
"No, we'll just wait outside the village until you've discussed it further!"

Seeing this, Ron said nothing more. He simply instructed some farmers to prepare a sumptuous meal for the five centaurs and bring it to them.

He himself went to find Lu Feng to report the matter.

"Centaur! Undead creatures have emerged from the Dark Forest in the north. Interesting!"

Listening to Ron's report, Lu Feng looked at the centaurs outside the village, quite interested in them.

The Stables are a 1-star unit building similar to a guard tower.

One-star centaurs, like one-star spearmen, are the unit types that Lu Feng wants.

"Trade is fine. Try to maintain good trade relations with these centaurs. It's time to let these centaurs from the lord worlds experience the thrill of trade dumping!"

Lu Feng nodded and granted Ron's request.

Ever since he gained the ability to travel between the two worlds, Lu Feng has been hoping to trade resources between them.

And now, the opportunity has finally come knocking.

Blackrock Village also had some weapons stockpiled from Xuan Yin Temple by Lu Feng, which were perfect for dumping on these poor centaurs.

Centaurs, open the gates! Free trade is here!
Ron returned to the village entrance with the weapons from the warehouse.

Iron spearheads, longswords, iron-clad shields, half-body armor, and even arrowheads.

Ron has everything here.

The five centaurs were seeing something so good for the first time.

Their eyes gleamed with excitement, their faces showing greed, as if they couldn't wait to equip themselves with these weapons on the spot.

It should be noted that among their tribe, only their centaur leader possessed a suit of chainmail covering his upper body and carried a metal spear.

The other centaurs all made their own wooden spears with bone tips, which were extremely shabby.

They had assumed that Blackrock Village was just a small village with few good goods in its territory, and that they would be lucky to be able to trade for some food.

Who knew that Blackstone Village would pull off such a stunning move?

They brought out so many good things.

However, the moment the greed on their faces appeared, the fully armed soldiers in the village, including Heishan, cast scrutinizing glances at them.

Seeing the strong and well-equipped Blackstone Village, the greed in the hearts of the five and a half men vanished instantly, and they honestly began to discuss the deal.

With his silver tongue and the [Diplomacy] skill, Ron constantly tested the centaurs' bottom line.

In the end, they sold 10 iron spearheads, five longswords, and five iron-clad shields for the high price of 20 black iron coins per weapon.

The 400 black iron coins emptied the centaur's pockets.

They also have Bronze Soul Coins.

However, bronze soul coins, which can enhance strength, are strategic resources and will certainly not be used.

The centaur, leading the way, pulled a jewel-like treasure from his pocket:

"I've lost my Black Iron Soul Coins, but I still have a 1-star treasure. Let's see how many resources I can exchange it for!"

Ron looked up at the orb and saw detailed information about the green orb.

【Vitality Orb (1-star treasure)】: When equipped, it slightly increases health and provides a small amount of health recovery.

[Equipment Slot]: Neck
[Equipment Description]: A pearl containing life force, which can nourish life.

This is a support item that can only be used on a single target and its effect is not very powerful.

But Lu Feng glanced at it and convinced Ron to agree to the deal to exchange the treasure for weapons and armor.

Ordinary weapons and armor are nothing compared to a treasure.

No matter how they change it, Lu Feng has made a huge profit.

The transaction was completed, and the five centaurs, carrying weapons, had their leader immediately put on a suit of armor.

They left Blackstone Village excitedly, their hooves seeming to carry the wind as they ran, overjoyed.

The centaur felt he had hit the jackpot.

As Lu Feng put on the Vitality Pearl and felt the increased life force within him, he also felt like he had hit the jackpot.

We won! We've won everything!
It's a win-win situation!
