Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 78: Strange Bones
"you know me?"

Li Yu asked doubtfully.

"Lao Luo and I are old friends. He told me about your deeds."

The hunter representative explained with a smile, and at the same time looked at Hui Yi, who was carried on the stretcher and groaning non-stop, with a mocking look.

"These Black Church people are so blind that they actually provoked you."

A hunter mage who can kill a white sand dragon turtle alone has already surpassed the blue-robed deacon of the Black Church in combat power. Three priests can't possibly challenge him.

Li Yu was also surprised to run into an acquaintance of Lao Luo. He felt relieved and told him about the list of believers. He also suggested that he arrest them immediately and said that he could help. Li Yu's attitude towards the Black Church has always been to resolutely, thoroughly and absolutely eliminate it, without any room for compromise.

The hunter representative was very excited about Li Yu's intelligence. The list of believers provided by Li Yu was not long, only seven people, and they were all hiding in Sansha City. Combined with the situation in Sansha, three priests plus seven believers were almost equal to all the Black Church's troops in the local area. If they could be caught in one fell swoop, it would save a lot of trouble.

However, he did not accept Li Yu's request to take action, not because he was worried about the credit being snatched away. They were just a group of believers. If their identities were exposed, they would be nothing more than lambs to be slaughtered in front of the huge power of the Hunter Alliance. If this small matter was not handled well, the reputation of the Hunter Alliance would be ruined.

After getting the list from Li Yu, the hunter representative didn't care about etiquette or thanking for such work. After a simple goodbye, he immediately made a phone call to arrange personnel to carry out the capture. There was not much else in Sansha City, but there were a lot of hunters.

The Sansha branch of the Hunter Alliance has a 500-man subordinate hunter group on standby at all times to prepare for unexpected needs like today.

……

The next morning, Li Yu came to the demon store. Lao Luo was already waiting at the door. After the two met, they did not delay and went straight to Li Yue's processing workshop.

"Hey, you guys are here."

Li Yue put down his work and came forward.

"Everything is ready, just follow me."

Under the leadership of Li Yue, the three of them made many detours and finally stopped in front of a warehouse door deep in the Demon Market. The door of the warehouse looked like a bank vault, giving people a full sense of security.

Li Yue performed a complicated operation with his back to the two of them. In addition to entering the warehouse password, fingerprints, voiceprints, irises and even body temperature were all authenticated. The completeness of the process opened Li Yu's eyes.

After a slight rumble, the warehouse door opened, which surprised Li Yu. The interior of this warehouse with such complete defense measures was actually empty. It was located underground, 20 to 30 meters high, with an area of ​​nearly 10,000 square meters, but it only stored the processed white sand dragon turtles.

"Old Li, you can't do that. Even though the White Sand Dragon Singing Turtle is valuable, it doesn't have to be hidden so well."

Li Yu's question was asked by Lao Luo.

Although the White Sand Dragon Singing Turtle can be considered rare, Li Yue is the leading demon handler in the South China Sea and has seen even rarer and more expensive demons. With such strong protection, those who don’t know would think there is a monarch inside.

"It's always okay to be cautious about some things."

Li Yue didn't think he was making a fuss at all, but said disapprovingly:
"This white sand turtle of yours is more valuable than the ordinary ones. If something unexpected happens, my work this year will be in vain."

"You are kidding me."

Lao Luo laughed and scolded:
"With your skills and your business, you should make hundreds of millions a year, but you still lack this old turtle."

However, he didn't laugh for long. When Lao Luo met Li Yue's serious eyes, the smile on his face slowly faded and he was a little dumbfounded.

"What's wrong with this old turtle?"

"Can you first tell me how this white sand turtle died?"

Li Yue came to a large pool, where a completely cut hemispherical carapace was lying quietly in a special potion in the pool.

"I can only say that you are really lucky."

"If you let this white sand turtle touch water, or try to break its shell, let alone eight people, even if there are twice as many people, you will die of exhaustion and still be unable to do anything to it."

"Is there something wrong with its shell?"

Lao Luo and Li Yu looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes. Li Yue quickly gave them an answer.
"I didn't notice it at first, until I took off the turtle's carapace, turned it over, and cleaned it..."

Li Yue's tone fluctuated, and the surrounding projection screens opened in time, showing the entire interior of the white sand turtle's carapace to the two of them. "Do you see this little blue dot?"

Li Yue held a laser pen and pointed at a bright blue spot in the center of the white sand turtle's carapace. Li Yu and Lao Luo nodded in unison.

This piece of blue occupies a very small space in the field of vision, but this is only because of the huge carapace. If it were the actual area, it would at least be able to completely cover an adult.

"This is a strange bone."

Li Yue's subsequent words almost made Li Yu and Lao Luo lose their balance and fall to the ground.
"what?"

"Strange bones? Old Li, don't make a mistake."

Lao Luo was shocked, and Li Yu pinched his thigh hard.

NM! This is the bone of a commander-level demon, or the bone of a white sand dragon singing turtle. If it is put up for auction, 200 million is just the starting price, and the transaction price is expected to be as high as 500 million.

"I also think I was wrong." Li Yue rolled his eyes and said:
"If I could find another white sand turtle carcass to replace it, I would have wanted to keep this piece of carapace."

Li Yu looked at Li Yue in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party was so honest and did not hide his desire for the carapace at all.

He had heard of such things before, just like some unscrupulous auto repair shops would sell inferior goods as good ones and replace customers' car parts. The demon handlers also had similar inside stories. If they found good things from the demon corpses they handled, they would hide them if possible, or use someone else's trick if they couldn't. They took advantage of the fact that ordinary hunters did not have enough knowledge and could not distinguish them.

Perhaps as Li Yue said, the number of white sand dragon-singing turtles is extremely rare, and the one Li Yu had was this year's opening item, which is unique. In addition, the processing requirement is a complete carapace, and Li Yu himself has a big enough fist, so Li Yue had no chance or courage to take action, which prevented him from swallowing up this ill-gotten gains.

Li Yue noticed Li Yu's gaze, but he didn't care and continued:
"This strange bone is a little different from ordinary strange bones."

"What's different?"

"If I'm not mistaken, due to the existence of this strange bone, the carapace of this white sand turtle can repair itself in an environment with abundant water elements."

"Self-healing?"

Lao Luo gnashed his teeth. He finally understood the meaning of Li Yue's original words. It can repair itself in water, and coupled with the abnormal level of defense of the White Sand Dragon Singing Turtle, how many mages below the super level can do anything to it.

"Given the preciousness of this piece of bone, I suggest that you cut it off in advance, preserve it separately, and then ship the remaining part back."

Lao Luo turned his gaze to Li Yu. After all, this piece of carapace belonged to the latter, and how to deal with it would depend on the other party's thoughts.

"How long does it take to cut?" Li Yu asked.

"For half a day, you can watch from the side."

Li Yue didn't want to get into trouble if something unexpected happened, so instead of arguing about it later, it would be better to lay everything out in the open.

"Okay." Li Yu agreed.

"Okay then." Li Yue took out his tablet and
"Please pay me. I will give you 10 million."

"Ten million?"

"Li Baopi, why don't you go and rob?" Lao Luo once again said something that sounded familiar.

In response to Luo Yonghao's anger, Li Yue defended himself confidently.
"Don't wrongly accuse a good person. I always clearly mark the prices when doing business, and I never cheat anyone."

"Being honest to everyone won't stop you from ripping off my customers! No matter how difficult it is to cut this strange bone, can it be more expensive than the whole body of a white sand dragon-singing turtle?" Lao Luo just said this and refused to admit it.

"My labor fee is only 2 million, and the remaining 8 million is the cost of this medicine." Li Yue had a blank expression on his face, pointing his hand towards the large pool below.
"This piece of bone needs to be placed in an environment with abundant water elements to preserve its quality to the maximum extent. Therefore, it needs to be soaked in a special potion. How much do you think this pool of potion will cost?"

Lao Luo was silent, Li Yue was silent, and finally Li Yu spoke up.

"Bill, please."

"okay."
