Chapter 61: Armed Store

  "Bring out whatever armor fits me." Bai Cangdong didn't care if it was a complete set or not, as long as it could conceal his figure and face.

  "It's winter now, and if the guest wants to go to the Hurricane Abyss, this small Flame Armor can defend against the cold and warm the body, it's a good choice. This Spring Sun Left Gauntlet is also good, and this Dragon Mouth Right Gauntlet, plus the Red Cloud Battle Skirt and the Jade Flower Helmet...". The shopkeeper took out over a dozen pieces of equipment in one breath, most of which were Bronze equipment of Baron rank, and a few were ordinary equipment without any rank.

  "I don't need belts or rings, I only need armor, helmets, battle skirts, war boots, and gauntlets." Looking at the messy equipment, Bai Cangdong suddenly had a headache.

  "That's okay, these few pieces of armor are not bad." The shopkeeper put away all the other armors, leaving only a helmet, cuirass, battle skirt, a pair of gauntlets and a pair of combat boots.

  But Bai Cangdong still looks a bit unsightly, the helmet, armor and battle skirt are different in color and style, which is fine, but the two protective gloves are red and green, what's going on with the two boots being high and low?

  "Shopkeeper, don't you have a pair of gauntlets and combat boots here?" asked Bai Cangdong with twitching eyes.

  "There are also paired gauntlets and greaves, but if you're going to the Hurricane Abyss, it's still better to match them like this." The shopkeeper smiled and took out two pairs of gauntlets and three pairs of greaves, but they were all very ordinary goods. Although they were in pairs, their uses were not as good as the previous mismatched gauntlets and greaves.

  "Anyway, no one recognizes me, so I'll just be ugly." Bai Cangdong gritted his teeth and still took that set of colorful armor.

  "It's a total of eighteen years of life, and I won't count the extra." The shopkeeper took the life meter, his face beaming with joy.

  After putting on the white and blue armor, I found that my body had all kinds of colors such as red, yellow, blue, green, cyan, and so on. From a distance, it looked like a little clown playing tricks.

  "It's a good thing the helmet is full-face, so outsiders can't see my face." Bai Cangdong could only comfort himself like this.

  "Sir, would you like some more weapons? I have a few nice baron-level ones here." The shopkeeper continued to enthusiastically promote his goods.

  Bai Cangdong thought for a moment, since both Yunluo Sword and Po Xie couldn't show up, it wouldn't be bad to get a weapon for self-defense.

  "What weapons do you have? Take them out and let me see." said Bai Cangdong.

  Zhang Gui Lisi took out seven or eight pieces of equipment, including knives, swords, guns and bows, but they all looked like bronze goods at the baron level. Holding such weapons, Bai Cangdong felt that he was not as powerful as his bare fists.

  "What about those two knives?" asked Bai Cangdong, not choosing any of the weapons, pointing to the two bronze khopeshes hanging on the wall, crossed with a shield, serving as decorations.

  Bai Cangdong's idea was simple, since it was just for show, why not buy something more practical? There was no need to waste his life on a useless Baron-level weapon.

  "Those two knives are not for sale." Seeing Bai Cangdong pointing at the two bronze knives, the shopkeeper's face turned strange.

  Listening to the shopkeeper's tone, Bai Cangdong couldn't help but take a closer look at the pair of bronze knives. At first, he didn't think much of them, but as he looked more closely, he felt that these two knives were not ordinary. Although they appeared to be decorative items, with no sharp edge on the blade, after looking for a while, he discovered that there was a subtle and restrained killing intent emanating from the swords, which made his eyebrows feel pressed down.

  Bai Cangdong lowered the shield in front of him, and when he saw the imprint on the blade, he was shocked: "Viscount-level Golden Equipment!"

  "You have a good eye for things, guest. This pair of knives has been hanging here for over a decade, and you're the first person to notice they're not ordinary." The shopkeeper sighed.

  Bai Cang's face turned slightly red, but if it weren't for the shopkeeper's reaction that raised his suspicions, he actually couldn't tell that these were a pair of viscount-level golden armors and would have just thought they were worthless junk.

  The shopkeeper's expression was complex as he took down a pair of strange knives, grasping them in his hand and swinging them twice. The action was simple, but the technique was smooth and delicate, definitely not something an ordinary baron could do.

  "It turns out that the shopkeeper is actually a viscount, I apologize for the disrespect." Bai Cangdong said, looking at the shopkeeper.

  "What's a viscount or not, it's just the owner of a small shop anyway." The shopkeeper hung the strange knife back on the wall and put the shield back up as well: "Please forgive me, guest, this pair of knives has been with me for many years, I never thought of selling them."

  "Look at the shopkeeper's skill, and with this pair of golden stage weapons, why would you want to run such a small armed store here instead of going out to kill the undead? Who knows, maybe one day you'll be promoted to earl?" Bai Cangdong asked with some doubt after seeing that the shopkeeper was no ordinary person.

  "If it were that easy to become an Earl, I wouldn't be stuck here waiting for death." The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed: "Young man, you probably haven't seen the undead of the Earl level yet?"

  Actually, Bai Cangdong had seen it before. The white bear of the White-robed Earl was a genuine, authentic Earl-level undead, only he hadn't seen that white bear truly go on a rampage yet.

  "When I was young, I was just like you, full of vigor and ambition, convinced that I would definitely become an earl. But then I met the true undead nobility, and I realized how weak and laughable I was. One hundred and forty-three viscounts, all killed in less than two hours by a single count-level undead, including some who were even more skilled and better equipped than me. And I only managed to escape with my life because I fainted from exhaustion." The shopkeeper fell into a reverie, his face filled with painful sorrow.

  "What kind of undead is that?" Bai Cangdong had heard someone mention the Earl-level undead for the first time, and he couldn't help but want to know more.

  "I don't know, at that time I was escorting a batch of goods through the Cloudy Mountains with over 100 other viscounts. Then, all of a sudden, there was thunder in the sky and a huge creature poked its ugly head out from the clouds, spewing forth terrifying rays of undead energy like lightning. I was knocked flying by the torrential waves of undead energy. When I came to, it was a scene of carnage with bodies scattered everywhere and blood flowing like rivers. Except for me who managed to survive, all the other viscounts were dead."

  Bai Cang's heart was shocked, he had already known that the Earl-level undead must be incredibly powerful, but still did not expect that more than a hundred Viscounts would be slaughtered by an Earl-level undead in a short period of time. This is what kind of terrifying power.

  "I wonder what kind of strength the shopkeeper had at that time?" Bai Cangdong couldn't help but ask another question.

  "At that time, my Golden Life Spirit had just cultivated up to 210 grids." The shopkeeper replied.

  Bai Cang's heart was even more shocked, the shopkeeper actually possessed a Golden Life God Light, and had cultivated it to over 200 grids. Against an undead of the Upper Earl level, he hadn't even seen his opponent's appearance before being knocked unconscious. This was truly too shocking, no wonder the shopkeeper had no fighting spirit, opening such a small armed store here.

  Bai Cangdong didn't ask anything else and bought a Marquis-level broadsword before leaving the Qixian Armory, unable to express his feelings.

  The Typhoon Abyss has no mountain roads or stone stairs to walk on, and can only be descended along the iron chain road. Bai Cangdong's all-green armor is particularly eye-catching.

  However, this armor also has its benefits, as the shopkeeper said, after wearing it, he at least doesn't have to fear that bone-chilling seasonal wind.

  The place where the Eight-Eyed Heavenly King was reborn is on the Qing Stone Plateau, where the terrain is very complex, and the Eight-Eyed Heavenly King does not have a fixed location for rebirth. Moreover, with the ability to hide and fly, it's not an easy task to capture its shadow in the first place.

  It is often after Eight-Headed Serpent Deity has revived and killed a few humans that its whereabouts are discovered.

  Because of the great fame of the Eight-Eyed Heavenly King, many people knew the location of Qing Shi Ping, but few dared to go there when the Eight-Eyed Heavenly King was resurrected. Usually going there would be useless, except for the Eight-Eyed Heavenly King, there were no other undead tribes, nor any precious herbs and materials.

  "Surround him, don't let him get away." Bai Cangdong landed on a platform and before he could even steady his footing, he saw over a dozen people chasing after an undead creature that resembled a leopard.

  The undead saw Bai Cangdong and stopped immediately, giving those people the opportunity to surround the undead.

  Bai Cang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, as the position of those people subtly surrounded him in the middle.

  "Today, brothers' luck is not bad, hunting so many flying cloud leopards, now they have encountered such a fool, it's time for us brothers to get rich." A group of people sneered and surrounded him, quickly killing the Baron-level flying cloud leopard, continuing to force Bai Cangdong.

  "What do you want to do?" Bai Cangdong looked at those people, who were all barons and not even a viscount. He didn't know why they had the guts to have ideas about him.

  "What's all this? You look ridiculous in that gaudy outfit. I'd be happy to help you take it off." a baron sneered.

  Bai Cang Dong suddenly realized that he was wearing a set of messy and disorderly baron-level armor, others couldn't see the mark on his forehead, they just thought he was a baron, alone and vulnerable, it was normal for people to have ideas about attacking him.

  "If you take off all your arms and give them to us yourself, we can spare your life. Otherwise... you know..."

  "I actually don't quite understand, or else what would happen?" Bai Cang said coldly as he looked at them.

  "Otherwise, I'll skin you alive." As he spoke, he drew his sword and slashed at Bai Cangdong, the others following suit.

  They feared that Bai Cangdong would recall his armed forces to the mortal world before he died, so they used ruthless methods, wanting to kill Bai Cangdong in one blow. This way, the summoned armed forces would become ownerless objects, allowing them to plunder at will.

  A white light flashed out from the thick-backed knife, and in an instant, more than a dozen viscounts were cut in half at the waist, not one of them left alive.

  "You want to kill me, then you should also be prepared to be killed." Bai Cangdong unsympathetically sheathed his thick-backed knife.

  "You have a ruthless heart." A voice suddenly came from behind, not far from Bai Cangdong's ear, making Bai Cangdong extremely frightened, because he didn't even notice that someone was standing less than a meter behind him.
