Chapter 70: The Central Mountains

Now that the distribution of benefits had been settled, the four of them sat down around the small table and began to talk about this treasure that was very important to both parties.

The client, who had not introduced his name until now, took out a brocade box from his bosom, and when the brocade box was opened, a map made of some kind of wild animal skin lay silently inside.

Zhuo Qing stretched out his hand and took out the ancient map and unfolded it on the table, Zhuo Qing did not rush to look at the content and map in the map, but first carefully observed the edge of the animal skin.

"Light yellow background...... Silver Heart...... Gray and black veined ...... "Zhuo Qing carefully identified these as the characteristics of the skins of the Heavenly Rank Beasts.

After repeatedly observing the decorative patterns on the edges of this ancient map, from the artistic style of these patterns, Zhuo Qing determined that the approximate year of this ancient map was between 300 and 500 years ago.

The shopkeeper was naturally knowledgeable, and when he saw Zhuo Qing checking the drawing, he didn't bother. The client knew that he was a layman, so he had no intention of speaking.

Zhuo Qingchong Shenhuan nodded slightly, indicating that this ancient map should be no problem.

Treasure hunters, different from bodyguards. A qualified treasure hunter not only needs to have a certain amount of combat effectiveness, but also needs a wealth of knowledge to solve the problems that need to be faced when exploring various monuments.

Therefore, treasure hunters in the Divine Apocalypse Continent are a very rare job, and since most of them serve wealthy merchants or large families, ordinary people know very little about them. It's not like the Bodyguard at all, and it has its own exclusive gathering place.

It's easy to be a Bodyguard, but it's hard to be a treasure hunter. That's why the owner of this liquor store has such a wonderful expression when he finds out that the "bodyguard" in his friend's mouth is actually a treasure hunter with whom he has dealt many times.

"How's it going? Sure, right?" Seeing Zhuo Qing give Shen Huan a look, the shopkeeper finally spoke.

"Yes. Zhuo Qing nodded.

"Then we can start talking about the details of this picture. The shopkeeper pointed to the detailed route map on the map and looked at Shenhuan, "This map only has a detailed route near the destination, but it doesn't indicate where this is in the Shenqi Continent. But according to my old friend's research for many years, this site is the Central Mountains. ”

Shenhuan frowned, and Zhuo Qing was stunned.

"Central Mountains...... Places I've never been...... I heard that the Central Mountain Range is arguably one of the most dangerous places on the continent...... In this case, the Evil Qi Pill, we want fifty-five points!" Shen Huan immediately raised the proportion of the Evil Qi Pill he wanted.

If the reward is changed to gold and silver, Shenhuan never bargains with people, but the Evil Qi Pill is a good thing that has obvious benefits for improving strength, and Shenhuan, who is eager to improve his strength, will not let it go easily.

This was the first time that the owner of the liquor store had heard Shenhuan's counteroffer, and after a moment of surprise, he thought for a long time before nodding his head with difficulty.

"The Central Mountain Range, except for the people of the three central states, it is difficult for outsiders to enter. The location shown on the map is not the outer part of the mountain range, but the middle of the mountain range. If you gradually climb through the periphery from the beginning, it will take a long time and the danger will increase even further. Zhuo Qing, who had been silent just now, spoke.

"Five or five points is already the limit, we provided the map, and my old friend has spent many years to determine this location, and he has contributed a lot. The shopkeeper's face was a little bitter.

"That's okay, let's go through the checkpoints set up by the three central states, walk halfway from the official road, and then enter the central mountain range. People from the outer twenty-one states, to pass these levels, except for the top masters, only the big caravans can get access permits. Can you guys fix this?"

Zhuo Qing knew that they would never be able to solve this problem, and he was full of confidence. In terms of this bargaining effort, Zhuo Qing surpassed Shenhuan by a star and a half.

"Can't ......" the shopkeeper reluctantly conceded defeat, "Okay...... Six of you, four of us...... It's really the limit......"

"Have you investigated the distribution information of the wild beasts in the central mountain range, the characteristics of the wild beasts, the terrain and the weather characteristics?"

"This ...... Isn't that your job as a treasure hunter?"

"Of course, it's our job as treasure hunters, but it's also a measure of how much we should be paid. The first forty percent is just the cost of dealing with the guardian Heavenly Rank Beast and retrieving the corpses of those Heaven Rank Beasts. If you don't think it's worth the price to deal with a Heaven-Rank Beast, then you can ask for another skill. Zhuo Qing didn't give an inch.

The owner of the liquor shop knew for the first time that Zhuo Qing was such a difficult person, and he had a headache. The point is that what Zhuo Qing said is true, so he can't refute it.

"June Fourth is really the limit...... The guest officer ...... "The shopkeeper finally held back such a sentence.

"Oh? Then let's go on, those corpses, we brought them back to you, and we only shared the evil spirit pill. But the corpse of every Heavenly Rank Beast will not naturally decay, every part of their body is an excellent material, these belong to you, it is useless for us to take it, we will not want it. How should these values be calculated?"

"Seventy-three...... Seven of you...... We...... We are three ......" The shopkeeper had a bitter face, and he was a little weak to speak......

Zhuo Qing saw the appearance of the shopkeeper, and he didn't want to push him to be anxious, so he accepted it when he saw it, and looked at Shenhuan with a proud face.

"Deal. The final decision, of course, was Captain Shenhuan, "We'll enter the Central Mountains first, and you guys will then prepare the carriage to meet us on the periphery." ”

Shenhuan and Zhuo Qing happily exchanged other details with them, and the bitterness on the faces of the shopkeeper was about to drip down......

When Shenhuan and Zhuo Qing walked out of this nameless wine shop to the north of the city to look for Tu Lie, the two shopkeepers were silently lying on the table and crying silently......

And Shenhuan and Zhuo Qing, who were walking on the avenue, unexpectedly met someone they didn't want to meet......

"Why is she still in Shengzhou?" Shen Huan, who was originally happy for this mission, turned his eyes cold, staring at Lin Zhaoyue who was coming from afar at the other end of the avenue.

Zhuo Qing also followed Shenhuan's gaze and saw Lin Zhaoyue, and his head was suddenly as big as a fight.

"Auntie, why are you still playing here...... Even if you don't take your cousin Lin Nanfeng seriously, you can't help but take the person next to me seriously...... This is not a messy lord...... Even if it's on the street, if this person has a thought, you will die immediately......" Zhuo Qing secretly complained to Lin Zhaoyue in his heart.

Shenhuan's gaze was so obvious that Lin Zhaoyue in the distance felt like a pinprick. Lin Zhaoyue followed this feeling, and soon found the two of them in parallel, Shenhuan and Zhuo Qing.

"Two, what a coincidence, the little woman is polite. "Lin Zhaoyue also remembered the Shenhuan who sent him the Qingling Cold Jade, but she didn't know their names.

The so-called people who don't stretch out their hands and don't hit smiling faces, seeing Lin Zhaoyue's kind attitude, even took the initiative to salute them, and Shenhuan's face softened a lot.

"Miss Lin, are you enjoying your tour in Shengzhou?" Affected by Lin Zhaoyue's attitude, Shenhuan's tone was also more friendly.

"Hehe, it's pretty good. Lin Zhaoyue didn't hear the meaning of Shenhuan's words, "Wenren's son is very warm, and he can be described as meticulous. He even bought me a small house in the west of the city, where Zhaoyue lives now, and the two of you can come and sit when you have time. ”

Listening to Lin Zhaoyue's meaning, it is planned to live in Katsu Governor.

"Miss Lin, I may be nosy in the future, but I still have to say more. Brother Lin's last wish is to hope that you will go back to Fengzhou as soon as possible and do not stay outside. Brother Lin, he's also thinking about you. Shen Huan patiently continued to persuade.

Of course, the little girl always remembered her cousin's last wish. However, with the little woman's understanding of her cousin, my cousin must have worried about my safety. And I live in Shengzhou City now, and there is no trouble under the care of Wenren Gongzi, even if there is, although the little woman's cultivation is not deep, some three-legged cats can still cope with it. ”

Lin Zhaoyue's words are soft and rigid, and there are needles hidden in the cotton, which not only shows her firm determination to live in Shengzhou for a long time, but also vaguely reminds Shenhuan that her level of strength is higher than that of Shenhuan, and it is not Shenhuan's turn to care.

Hearing Lin Zhaoyue's words, Zhuo Qing secretly shouted that it was not good, and did not say goodbye to Lin Zhaoyue, dragging Shenhuan away.

Zhuo Qing knew that he didn't know what was going on between Lin Nanfeng and Shenhuan, and Shenhuan had special respect for Lin Nanfeng. Lin Zhaoyue's insistence on disobeying Lin Nanfeng's last wish would only make the gods angry.

After finding Tu Lie, Zhuo Qing hurriedly urged Shenhuan out of the city, for fear that Shenhuan would turn around and kill Lin Zhaoyue at a moment's notice.

Four months later, when the central mountain range appeared in Shenhuan's field of vision, Zhuo Qing, and Tu Lie, Shenhuan felt that all the mountains he had seen before had nothing to do with the word "danger".

Although the likes of Cangyun Mountain are also towering into the clouds, it is daunting. But now, in front of Shenhuan's eyes, there is a whole row of towering peaks! Even the mountains behind the outer mountains, which are faintly exposed, are still the same straight into the clouds!

What is even more prohibitive is that these mountains, without gentle curves, seem to be a sharp blade piercing out of the ground!

"You're not interested in these mountains?" Shenhuan looked at Zhuo Qing in surprise.

In Shenhuan's cognition, such a beautiful and dangerous scene, Zhuo Qing will never let go. But at this time, Zhuo Qingzheng yawned boredly.

"Not interested, just a row of boring peaks. Zhuo Qing was interested. What are you kidding, he grew up in the three central states surrounded by mountains, this central mountain range, Zhuo Qing has seen it many times, how can he be interested.

"I find that I can finally agree with you. Tu Lie smiled and slapped Zhuo Qing on the back, causing Zhuo Qing to stumble.

"Then you should feel extremely honored to have the same view as me. Zhuo Qing regained his footing, took out the kettle from Tu Lie's big pocket, and took a sip.

"Whether it's boring or not, dozens of Heavenly Rank beast corpses are waiting for us there. By the way, Tu Lie, you have another place to hunt, there is nothing to complain about. Let's go!" Shen Huan urged Zhuo Qing and Tu Lie, and his urgent desire to improve his strength made Shen Huan have no time to stop anywhere.
