Chapter 193 Scales
Zhou Manman wanted to comfort Lin, but the market was very attractive to her.
"We'll be back soon! I'll bring you some delicious food."
"It's getting late, let's go."
As Xiao Mi said this, he transformed into a beast and rolled up Zhou Manman with the tip of his tail.
Zhou Manman would be frightened by Xiaomi's beast form from time to time.
He quickly said, "I want the witch doctor to hold me!"
Xiao Mi sneered and rushed out first.
Zhou Manman was so scared that she quickly hugged the tip of his tail and walked a little further away, and Xiaomi's movements slowed down.
Zhou Manman observed Xiao Mi's tail, which was newly grown. His old snake skin was white with a hint of gold, and it seemed to glow in the sun, but the new snake skin was pure white, with bits of gold slowly growing along the broken tail. It felt soft to the touch, but the scales were stacked in layers.
Zhou Manman stroked it curiously, "Hiss——"
When Xiao Mi heard the voice, he lifted her up to his head, saw that she was covering her hands with a bitter face, and gently pushed her fingers away with his tongue.
I saw a tiny scratch on it, with blood oozing out.
"Don't touch them, the scales are very sharp and full."
Xiaoya said, licking the wound on her hand gently.
Zhou Manman immediately pushed his big snake head away and shook his hands, "It will be fine in a while. Why are the scales on your body so sharp? It's never been like this before. It hurts so much."
"It just grew out and hasn't completely closed yet."
When Zhou Manman heard this, her eyes turned slightly and she looked at the scales on his tail again. There were tiny gaps between the silver-white scales. On the contrary, the scales on his body had no gaps at all and looked seamless.
Zhou Manman touched it and found it slightly moist and yet so sharp.
I really want one.
She sat on Xiao Mi's tail, which had curled twice, and reached out to grab Xiao Mi's head. Her voice was very soft, "Xiao Mi."
"Ok?"
"I want to discuss something with you."
"what's up."
"Can you give me a scale?"
After Zhou Manman finished speaking, Xiao Mi immediately laughed. Zhou Manman didn't understand why. "What's wrong? If it's difficult, I don't want it..."
"This is something."
Xiaoya stopped where he was and said, "Gently pinch the scales you want, be careful."
Zhou Manman spent a long time picking for a piece, and soon the scale fell into Zhou Manman's hand.
The outer end is extremely sharp, while the inner end is slightly thickened.
Zhou Manman held the inner end and drew it twice in the air.
Xiao Mi laughed, "What are you doing?"
"I'm a hero! Ha!"
Qing Lingyu quickly caught up with the two of them. Xiao Mi's speed was not fast, but the sun was slowly coming out and it was still a bit hot under the direct sunlight, so he sped up.
Before Zhou Manman arrived, he heard bursts of noisy sounds.
Looking over, you can see a lot of orcs, some walking in animal form, some walking in human form, but most of them move in human form. The orcs in animal form mostly have a lot of things on them, either food or bags of grains.
Zhou Manman excitedly asked Xiao Mi to put him down and wanted to run forward.
Xiao Mi held her back, "Slow down."
"Let's go quickly!"
Xiao Mi interlocked the little female's hand with his own fingers, and then pulled her forward.
Zhou Manman is like a curious baby, looking here and there.
Most of the things people were selling were related to food, clothing, housing and transportation. There was nothing eye-catching, but even so, Zhou Manman was still very excited.
The atmosphere here really feels like she is visiting a market.
"Fresh wild boars, the meat is tender. One energy stone can be exchanged for fifty of them..."
"Freshly picked wild fruits can be exchanged for anything!"
……
There are many voices like this.
In order to accommodate the orcs' beast forms and avoid road congestion, the two middle roads are very wide, and the orcs selling things are on both sides of the road.
Zhou Manman would look at two or three and then turn to the other side.
"Go that way when you come back from the end."
Zhou Manman immediately shook her head and said, "No, no, what if something good is bought?"
As I was talking, I noticed that there was a place selling shoes in front.
Qing Lingyu stepped forward to take a look, then waved to Zhou Manman, "Come and take a look."
The male shoe seller saw this and said quickly, "These shoes are made of wood with thick animal skins. The bottom is furry, but the top layer is furless. They are soft and not painful to wear, nor are they stuffy. They are the best for your partner. This pair is for winter wear. They are made of good animal skins. The fur on them has been processed and is very soft. You can ask the female to come and try them before deciding whether to buy them."
Zhou Manman's big eyes blinked and her whole body seemed to be glowing.
The orc who was selling shoes looked up and was stunned for a moment. After a while, he said with a red face: "If it doesn't fit, we can also estimate it now and send it over after it is made. But we need to add more things for the exchange."
Qing Lingyu measured it with his fingers and looked at several of them in a row. The styles were similar, with only slight differences in color.
"How do you sell it with energy stones?"
The male was stunned. "If we use energy stones, twenty pairs of shoes equal one energy stone. It looks simple, but it is very troublesome to do. It is very difficult to pass the needle and thread into the wood to sew it tightly. Moreover, if the thread is made of ordinary plants, it is not strong enough. This thread is made from the tendons on the back of the beast. It is troublesome and dangerous."
"Of course, if you only need a pair, there are people selling smoked meat not far ahead, and a female with a red flower on her head selling flowers. The stalls next to them are from our tribe, selling fruits grown in the mountains and animal skirts made by ourselves. Talk to them and they will give you everything you want."
Qing Lingyu nodded and waved again, "Come and have a look, Manman."
Zhou Manman walked forward, squatted down and examined the shoes. Compared to the pair of straw sandals on her feet, they were really much better!
Just use the energy stone...
Zhou Manman pursed her lips and asked, "What if I want to exchange it for something?"
"Of course that's fine, whether it's food, raw materials or anything else."
The orc didn't find it strange. Energy stones are so rare. Only the wealthy orcs from the capital would use energy stones to exchange things without blinking an eye. However, most of the people who could come to this market were orcs from the surrounding areas.
Everyone knew it clearly. Even if there were some new refugees who had settled here, they probably didn't have energy stones.
I've already managed to escape, so I don't expect anything. Besides, everyone has changed their ways.
Zhou Manman raised his eyes to look at Xiao Mi and whispered in his ear: "Then let's go to a hidden place to get the things."
Xiao Mi was about to nod, but Qing Lingyu said, "No need, I like whichever color you like."
He said that he would let her try it on without giving her any chance to refuse.
