At this moment, the seven bone spurs on Little Skull's back suddenly swayed with a creaking sound. When the sky full of javelins, spears, and axes were about to fall on Little Skull's body, the seven bone spurs instantly detached from Little Skull's back and spiraled out, whistling as they intertwined and spun above Little Skull's head.
Little Skull stood where he was, holding the bone dagger in his hand. His little body danced as if he was having an epileptic fit. Under Little Skull's control, the seven bone spurs drew mysterious arcs in the air as if they were being waved by invisible hands.
"Pa Pa Pa" sounds rang out continuously. The flying javelins, spears, and axes were all broken by the crisscrossing seven bone spurs. None of them could get close to Little Skull's small body.
Han Shuo pinched his own waist. After feeling the pain, he realized how real this moment was. Not only could the little skeleton wield the bone dagger in battle, but he'd also been able to wield the seven bone spurs on his back, turning them into terrifying weapons that could claim lives. This made Han Shuo feel that the little skeleton at this moment was inconceivable.
The "Method of Demon Control" was a demonic cultivation method that allowed one to control demonic treasures to attack. The last time Han Shuo had inexplicably transferred those memories to the little skeleton, he'd seen the little skeleton control the bone dagger and fly. This was already enough to astonish Han Shuo. But now, the fact that Little Skull could even control the seven bone spurs on his back had completely shocked Han Shuo.
In order to use the "Method of Demon Control", apart from understanding the "Method of Demon Control", one also needed to have a demonic treasure that was connected to one's life. Only when one's mind and spirit were connected to the demonic treasure, would one be able to use it naturally. It looked like the seven bone spurs and bone dagger had unknowingly become Little Skull's personal demonic treasures under the continuous forging of magical yuan.
Without a demonic treasure in hand, Han Shuo still couldn't use the "Method of Demon Control". Who would've thought that the Little Skull, a dark creature, had already walked ahead of Han Shuo and successfully activated it first?
"Oh my gosh! What, what kind of monster is this Little Skull! "Fabian moaned in excitement and nervousness, exclaiming in a low, dumbfounded voice.
The forest trolls were also completely dumbfounded after the javelins, pikes, and battle axes that had been flying towards them had all been smashed to pieces. The seven bone spurs that had been circling around the little skeleton abruptly shot out in all directions, piercing through the seven forest trolls that were standing there dumbly.
"Demon, this is a demon with a skeleton body, run!"
An extremely panicked scream suddenly came out of a Forest Troll's mouth. This seemed to be a signal to retreat. When the forest trolls heard this, they all began to flee for their lives in all directions like stray dogs. Even the forest troll leader from before didn't utter a single word as he fled without a care in which direction he went.
The development of a situation was always so unexpected. Han Shuo, who had only planned on breaking through the encirclement and escaping, hadn't expected that the seven bone spurs of Little Skull would have such terrifying power. By the time Han Shuo had come to his senses, apart from a dozen or so Forest Troll corpses, there wasn't a single living Forest Troll left.
"Wahahaha, good boy, good boy!" Han Shuo suddenly felt a sense of relief and couldn't help but laugh wildly.
At the same time, the seven bone spurs circled once in the air and accurately returned to the Little Skull's back. Little Skull then bent his legs and raised the bone dagger in his hand, starting to loot the first Forest Troll's corpse with practiced ease, taking away everything apart from the clothes on their bodies.
"Give it to me, the other hundred gold coins." Putting Fabian down, Han Shuo had a faint smile on his face as he asked for the rest of the reward from the dumbfounded Fabian.
At this moment, Fabian's gaze was still roving over the Little Skull's body, and he only reacted when Han Shuo's voice sounded. Fabian was about to take out the gold coins when he suddenly thought of something and glared at Han Shuo, "No way. You used me as a shield when you were fighting the Forest Troll just now. Your actions have completely harmed your employer's interests, and you still want the other hundred gold coins?"
Han Shuo's face instantly grew cold as his cold gaze roved over Fabian's body. He casually pulled out a javelin beside him and said faintly, "Mr. Fabian, are you trying to renege on your debt?"
On the other side, the Little Skull, who was collecting the spoils of war, also suddenly stopped and looked at Fabian with its empty eye sockets.
Fabian suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and his heart trembled. He hastily squeezed out a smile and backed up a few steps, saying, "Just kidding, just kidding. Heh heh, haha. Here's a hundred gold coins, not a single one less. Thank you for your hard work. "
Putting away the hundred gold coins, Han Shuo gave a faint "mm" and didn't waste any more words. A carefree feeling rose in his heart as he thought to himself that he was indeed successful in every endeavor when he had unyielding strength.
"Honorable warrior, the items on those Forest Troll's bodies …"
"Mine, they're all mine."
Han Shuo had already cut off Fabian's words before he'd even finished speaking, taking those items as his spoils of war as a matter of course.
Forcing out an awkward laugh, Fabian said repeatedly, "Of course, of course they're all yours. What I meant was that I can buy the items that were looted from the Forest Troll's bodies."
Creasing his brow, Han Shuo looked suspiciously at Fabian and then hung a smile on his face again. He mimicked Clark and bowed courteously, saying, "Mister Fabian means that you plan on using gold coins to buy these items?"
This face sure changes quickly. Fabian cursed inwardly and nodded with a similar smile on his face. "Indeed, I'm a merchant. I enter and exit the Dark Forest in order to purchase some items from the Dark Forest and then bring them back to the Empire for profit. The Forest Troll are notorious bandits in the Dark Forest. They should have some things that I need on their bodies. If you don't mind, warrior, I plan on buying them. "
At this moment, the Little Skull silently walked to Han Shuo's side with eight bags hanging from his two hand bones. Under Han Shuo's orders, the Little Skull put down the eight bags and used the bone dagger in his hand to open them one by one. Han Shuo also placed the items from his journey on the ground and looked at Fabian, awaiting his valuation.
"Eight magicite cores of magical beasts of the fifth rank, six of the fourth rank, and one of the third rank. Three Windblade Wolf pelts, three venomous lizard fangs, one young Deepwater Venom Python egg, and five stalks of Moon Feeder Grass. I can pay you a thousand gold coins for all of these, how about it? " Fabian silently calculated after categorizing these items and lifted his head to smile at Han Shuo.
Shaking his head, Han Shuo said sarcastically, "Not much. The Deepwater Venom Python is a level three magical creature. Just one of its eggs should be worth quite a bit, not to mention the core of a level three magical creature. Do you think I'm an idiot by only offering a thousand gold coins?"
Han Shuo knew that the price of a level three magical creature wouldn't be low. Because he didn't know the exact price, Han Shuo hadn't clearly stated the exact number of gold coins. However, it was inevitable that the merchant's asking price would be far lower than the market price. Therefore, Han Shuo naturally wouldn't let him take it so easily.
"The Deepwater Venom Python is a level three magical creature, but the chances of nurturing a Deepwater Venom Python from its egg are pitifully small, and it might not even recognize its master. Therefore, the price can't be too high. How about this, I'll offer a thousand five hundred gold coins, what do you think? "
Han Shuo didn't say anything and only looked at Fabian with a slight smile.
"Two thousand gold coins, that's my bottom line. If you really aren't willing to sell, then forget it. I'll leave right now!" Fabian gritted his teeth and finally raised the price by another five hundred gold coins.
Seeing that it was about right, Han Shuo chuckled lightly and said faintly, "Two thousand it is. The items are yours now. Where are the gold coins?"
These items would definitely be worth more than this if they were brought to the Empire. However, Han Shuo was still in the Dark Forest right now and didn't have a space ring. It wouldn't be convenient to bring these items with him. In addition, Han Shuo's identity was only an errand slave of the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force. It would be difficult to deal with him once he arrived in the Empire. It would be more convenient and direct to hand it over to Fabian.
"This is a crystal card with two thousand gold coins on it. Take this crystal card and you can exchange it for gold coins at any savings merchant. Oh, right, what's your name? I can help you print your name onto the crystal card. "Fabian took out a thin golden crystal card and asked Han Shuo.
"Brian."
"Oh, alright, Brian." After Fabian took out the crystal card, he also took out something that looked like a thin needle and lightly drew it across a thin slit in the corner of the crystal card. A faint golden light flickered and the crystal card returned to normal.
Han Shuo had been in this world for a period of time. After purposefully understanding this world, he understood that crystal cards were like the bank cards of his original world. Gold, silver, and copper coins were all items with weight. No one could carry thousands upon thousands of gold coins on their person. This kind of crystal card was a necessity for nobles. It could be used to store and withdraw gold coins from the ubiquitous savings merchants of the Empire.
"Here you go, Bryan. From now on, this crystal card is yours." Fabian smiled faintly after handing the crystal card to Han Shuo. He looked at Han Shuo and said, "I'm Fabian, a member of the Empire's Boozt Merchant Guild. If you have anything to sell or buy in the future, you can find me at the Boozt Merchant Guild. This is my address, keep it safe."
The Boozt Merchant Guild was one of the largest merchant guilds in the Empire and was controlled by the Boozt family. Even with Han Shuo's ignorance and inexperience, he had heard of some of the Boozt Merchant Guild's remarkable abilities. Now that he heard Fabian's words, Han Shuo immediately put away the hard piece of paper that Fabian had handed over and said with a smile, "Mister Fabian, it's a pleasure to meet you. Perhaps there really will be a time when I'll need your help in the future. The Forest Troll won't dare disturb you anymore. Our business ends here, goodbye. "
Han Shuo didn't say anything else after he'd finished speaking. He gave the Little Skull an order, and the man and the skeleton quickly disappeared into the distance.
"Hey, brave mercenaries, I think our business can continue." Fabian couldn't help but cheer when he saw Han Shuo suddenly leave. He walked towards the mercenaries who were tending to their wounds in the distance.
