Chapter 238: Wild World
Hunting is man's first act of conquering nature, and it is also one of the most primitive desires of human beings.
Europeans regard hunting as a kind of aristocratic activity, English hunting costume, wearing a double-brimmed hunting hat on the head, holding a shotgun, riding a fast horse, bringing a hunting dog, galloping through the wilderness, showing courage and determination, how many romantic stories between aristocratic men and women, and the business of commercial overlords and horizontal banks is happening in this process.
The hunting in the city that never sleeps is appealing because it is possible to hunt prey that cannot be caught anywhere else. It is not surprising to those who are qualified to be here, armed with shotguns and hounds, to run into the woods to hunt a few hares and boars. What makes them so eager is the beastage park in the city that never sleeps, simulating the wild animals that are free-ranged in various wild environments.
These beasts come from all over the world, lions and hyenas, elephants and rhinoceros, and hippos in Africa, white bears in the Arctic, grizzly bears and brown bears in North America, tigers and giant boars from Siberia, tigers and leopards and great apes in India, giant deep snakes and jaguars in South America, in short, whatever the world has, they will do at any cost. Train and cultivate with the secret techniques in the Beast Sutra.
On the day of the hunt, they select the beasts that are in the prime of life and release them into the hunting area. And these distinguished guests from all over the world will compete with each other. According to the difficulty and number of beasts hunted, the final winner will receive a gold medal and a specimen of the head of the animal he hunted. Distinguished guests who have won the gold medal can choose a Huo girl to marry in the city, or they can choose to become a direct business partner with the Huo people in a certain field.
This is a very clever approach, for the Huo people, the amount of money only represents the number, and the most valuable thing is to use the attraction of hunting to expand the influence of the Huo people around the world. The hunt has not yet begun, and these characters from all over the world, of different colors and races, are almost equally dominant.
People are happy, and the hounds bark excitedly.
A dull sound sounded, which was a signal from the Mongolian horns, which were divided into male and female, the male had a dull and muddy voice, and the female had a clear voice. The former is desolate and majestic like a big blow, and the latter is as light as a bowstring.
Male and female play together, and all beasts are out of the cage.
As the high priest of the hunt, Hossen loudly announced the animals released in the hunting area this year and the corresponding points. In this hunting activity, three Amur tigers were released, with an average weight of 630 pounds, and one male tiger weighing 880 pounds was worth 15 super points, which was the crown of all beasts! Five Bengal tigers, with an average weight of 460 pounds, were only eight or nine points. There is also a Kodiak brown bear that weighs 680 kilograms, and has reached 12 super points.
This super point is a point system specially set up for some super beasts with special development, and one super point is equivalent to five ordinary points. The attraction of this super point is great, but it also means a high level of risk. It is usually only found in carnivorous beasts that are large in size and have great talents. The reason why this beast can grow so big is that in addition to having excellent racial genes, it also has a relatively long lifespan and has accumulated more wisdom.
Huo Sen was also reading out the list of wild animals released in the hunting area, how many elephants were integrated, how many rhinoceros hippos were integrated, and how many Nile crocodiles and forest snakes were placed in the river area.
It's a carnival feast against the wild, but also a dangerous journey. These bigwigs aren't afraid of getting hurt, but they certainly don't want to lose their lives. Therefore, the city that never sleeps is equipped with a strong security guard for every participant.
There are only twenty-eight gold cards issued around the world, and the twenty-eight security personnel are all served by the elite mercenaries of the Daredevil Group, who wear golden masks, wear one-piece alloy chain armor all over their bodies, and are equipped with light and heavy firepower, specially designed to deal with the 25-pound shotgun of the African Three Tyrants, and the Sand Eagle pistol to deal with close-range threats, in short, there is only one purpose, which is to absolutely ensure the safety of game participants without participating in the hunt.
The spring hunt in the city that never sleeps has been held for many years, and every year there is a surprise easter egg session, and this year is certainly no exception. And this so-called easter egg refers to people, people who are not easy to kill. Whoever is selected and put in the hunting area, there is absolutely no weakling, and if you kill the target, you can naturally get super points. The city that never sleeps will determine how many super points this person is worth based on the strength of the person. This year's person is worth thirty super points.
After Huo Sen finished the announcement, there was a surprised sigh among the big people in the audience. A person was a little skeptical, and said in English: Thirty super points, killing this bastard is enough to get the gold medal! Mr. Sen, will you think too highly of this person? Huo Sen laughed and said: Mr. Samnick, it doesn't matter if I think of him, the key is that you don't underestimate him. The guy named Samnick asked, "Does he still have a weapon?"
Li Muye was called to Huo Ze's side, and the two stood side by side under the factory shed at the hunting starting point.
"This person was caught by me and Brother Jiang together, and it is very difficult to deal with. Huo Ze tilted his head and whispered in Li Muye's ear: "Don't look at the remote-controlled explosive device implanted in his body and unarmed, but if anyone thinks that this is a low-hanging fruit, maybe they will be unlucky." A smile tugged at the corner of his lips, a little mischievous, as if mocking, and he said, "If the predator becomes the prey, don't you think it will be fun?"
"If I were a hunter, I wouldn't find it fun, but if I was a spectator, I would certainly find it interesting. Li Muye said quietly.
"Lao Yan is right, Brother Li, you are really a smart person. Huo Ze smiled and said, "It's a pity that you and I hate to see each other late." ”
Li Muye smiled and said, "Brother Huo said that he was laughing, how could it be too late? ”
"I like to talk to smart people, just like most smart people like to guess riddles. Huo Ze smiled: "Seemingly smart people are often conceited in their bones, they will not accept other people's opinions easily, and they are not willing to think that others are better than themselves, they always feel that they are the most amazing." ”
"Thankfully, I'm not a smart person. Li Muye said indifferently: "So I know that the really smart people are always those who seem to know nothing." ”
"When you say that, I think you're the one who's really smart. Huo Ze said: "Brother Li, do you think this year's hunting is interesting?"
As soon as this sentence entered his ears, Li Muye was 100% sure that he was exposed. But this fact did not surprise Ono. Huo Ze has been pretending to be confused, and Li Muye is not. The plans of the Taiping Society were linked one after another, and they pulled Brother Ono into this game step by step, but after Huo Ze saw through it, he destroyed their original plan with a small move. From that moment on, Li Muye began to plan how not to provoke the Taiping Society to get the antidote to Pi Rixiu, and at the same time to establish a new relationship with the City that never sleeps.
This is a very difficult thing to do, but it is much more proactive than being at the mercy of the Taiping Society.
"I'm a dirt bun, and I haven't seen this battle before. Li Muye said: "Only after getting to know Brother Huo can I have the opportunity to open my eyes here." ”
The hunt began, and the distinguished guests from all over the world excitedly rode out of their horses and galloped towards the hunting area within a radius of dozens of kilometers.
Huo Ze kept watching, and waited until the crowd ran away before he suddenly said: "The vice president of the Taiping Society is a man with great wisdom, and he has never fully trusted Lao Jiang from beginning to end, his initial plan was to ask Pi Rixiu to kill people in the hunting area to create chaos, and then lead people into the city through the inner line in the city that never sleeps, lure me and my third brother back, and then set up an ambush to kill me and my third brother with dozens of rocket launchers." ”
"Pi Rixiu was afraid of death, so when he met me, he temporarily revised his plan. Li Muye said: "He brought me in and put it on the open to attract firepower, and it was naturally safer for him to attack in secret." ”
"Pirixiu is not important. Huo Ze said: "What I want to know more is who this vice president of the Taiping Society is." ”
"You don't know where he came from?"
"We only know that this man has lived in a Russian ethnic village, has been engaged in border trade for many years, and has close contacts with Lao Maozi's army, and if his plan succeeds, the city that never sleeps will be almost destroyed. ”
Li Muye didn't want to continue this topic, Huo Ze didn't know that the matter of Zhang Junpeng's brothers was a good thing for him, and he could use it as a bargaining chip to negotiate conditions when necessary, so he changed the conversation and said: "You should have noticed that I had a problem from the death of Hulei Leopard." ”
"Hulei Leopard was killed by Shan Yatou because of the ecstasy fan. Huo Ze said: "Using the principle of physical properties of ordinary ingredients to configure this kind of almost undetectable ecstasy powder is the unique skill of Xu Yangchen, a left-minded Daoqi person, and Xian Dongping's food poisoning is also his way." ”
"Shan's cat was caught by Lao Lang, and it was a token of contact with Pi Rixiu. Huo Ze said: "Luculent Bao has been with me for many years, but he has never really convinced me, he is the most powerful figure in the contemporary Fu Beast Sect, don't look at his age, he is still a top master, it is really a waste to get him here." ”
"Luculent is an easter egg?"
"I was going to use you. Huo Ze said: "Hulei Leopard is dead, giving me an excuse to take back Lao Lang, since he chose the Taiping Society, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless." He sighed deeply, and suddenly changed his words and said: "No wonder Lao Lang betrayed me, the Huang family of the Ziyun Sect is a great big family, with a heritage of 1,300 years, there are few families in this world that can compare, and it is great enough for my Huo clan to be able to compete with it, although I didn't suffer a loss in this field, I don't dare to hope that it will be so easy in the future." ”
There was a hint of amazement in his tone, it was a kind of helplessness that sometimes ran out of manpower, and even if he tried his best of wisdom and strength, he couldn't compete with it.
"I actually had a lot of opportunities to leave. Li Muye said: "But I thought that I came out this time to unbuckle, so I decided to stay." ”
"You're here to look for opportunities, but not just for opportunities to work with me. Huo Ze said: "If I am stupid enough, you think that the Taiping will have a better chance of success, I think you kid will definitely choose to cooperate with them." ”
"Together, it's mutually beneficial. Li Muye said simply.
"You owe me a human life. Huo Ze squinted at Li Muye and said, "What are you going to take?"
"You and I cooperate, I will pretend to cooperate with the plan of the Taiping Society, and help you dig out all the nails buried by the Taiping Society in the city that never sleeps. ”
"There is a nail buried very deep in the city that never sleeps, and even Lao Jiang can't dig out this person. Huo Ze said coldly: "But even if you help me find out this person, it's not enough, I still want Pi Rixiu's head, as far as I know, he has come, I want to protect Sam Nick personally, you have to be responsible for finding out this old earth dragon for me!"
"I need his antidote, and I'll send him on his way when I get it......"
