Section 111 The Gao Family

This is definitely not a lie. The name of the poisonous water of the Savage Land www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion has prevailed, and it has even given rise to an extremely unscrupulous industry.

Due to environmental restrictions, the Hessian poison water will lose its effect in the outside world, and at most it will only poison people to death, but will not cause deformation. Every year, some black-hearted merchants buy people, bring them into Hessian, forcibly pour poisonous water on the slaves who are sold over long distances, and then take these half-human and half-animal aliens out and sell them to dignitaries and dignitaries as toys.

The country of Qi is near the sea, and the monarch of the country of Qi built a "mermaid garden" on the seaside. It is said that there are hundreds of male and female mermaids domesticated in it, all of whom come from the Hessian mountains.

In many dignitaries' homes, you can see pets such as cat people and dog people.

There are also more perverted creatures who like to sleep with mutated species like snake people in their arms at night. It is said that snake people secrete a kind of mucus, and since their upper body is human, they are not aggressive, so they can be regarded as a relatively easy breed among mutants to domesticate.

All in all, the use of poisoned water to pour people into such a thing is only a trivial part of the large business circle of the Hessian Mountains. The main thing is still the beast.

This is the last stop on the mountain. Anyone who enters the mountain from this direction must fetch water here. And how much water you get determines how long you can stay in Hessian and how far you go?

Meng Qi glanced at the caravan that was gathering near the well to get water, walked quickly to Yang Tianhong's side, and said in a low voice: "Lord, we can show our identities." ”

Yang Tianhong nodded, took out the unique jade talisman of Guiyuan Sect from the Qiankun bag, and hung it on his waist.

As long as it wasn't for brain cramps, ordinary mortals wouldn't take the initiative to approach a place like Mount Hesse at all. Even caravans with special needs for wealth were mostly composed of monks.

Here, worldly names are useless. Even if the name of the Great Chu Monarch is revealed, it will not have a deterrent effect here.

The caravan that fetched the water was small. There are about fifty of them, which is almost half of Yang Tianhong's side.

These men were all armed, wearing soft armor, and several cars were equipped with heavy armor with strong protection. A particularly burly man sat in a carriage with several stout iron-tired bows beside him. Two sturdy men in leather armor were busy in front of another car. Through the tarpaulin they lifted, they could see that thousands of iron arrows were stacked inside.

In the state of Chu. These weapons are strictly regulated items. Normally, only the military can hold it. If it is privately possessed by civilians, it will be regarded as a rebellion.

The caravan apparently used this as a temporary station. In the open space more than fifty meters away from the well, several wooden houses have been built, and all kinds of necessary materials should be hoarded inside. These people are dressed in the same style, and the badge in the shape of a beast's head can be seen. They exuded a heavy aura of blood and murder, which was by no means comparable to the children of the fat-dusted families in the secular world.

Dongfang Xiao squinted his eyes for a while, his gaze fell on the beast head badge on the surface of those people's clothes, and said thoughtfully: "They are from the Gao family. ”

Yang Tianhong was a little puzzled: "Gao family?"

Dongfang Xiao smiled. Explained: "A family of beast hunters who are very famous in the cultivation world. You can also think of it as a merchant who specializes in the trade and capture of wild beasts. The Wild Beast is very profitable, and many people want to get involved in it. However, the beasts are not white rabbits to be manipulated, they like to use human flesh as a snack and like to drink human blood. Every year, many people come to the Hessian Mountains with the intention of making a fortune, but very few actually have the opportunity to leave. Either they died of thirst and poison in the mountains, or they became food for the stomachs of wild beasts. However, the Gao family is an exception. They are experienced in catching wild beasts. Thousands of years down. The Gao family has formed a unique hunting norm. Of course, there are still people who die during the hunt. But compared to those who don't know anything, this loss is simply insignificant. ”

Glancing in the direction of the crowded well, Dongfang Xiao continued: "This industry is very special. My father also had the idea of catching wild beasts. It's just that our Oriental family can't be compared with the Gao family in this regard. In the end, it was decided to give up, taking into account the casualties and losses. ”

Yang Tianhong thought so, and nodded again and again: "According to my brother's statement, the desolate beast industry should be the sole leader of the Gao family. And so it goes. Aren't they very profitable?"

Dongfang Xiao showed a wry smile on his face: "Isn't it as simple as making money? The higher the level, the more valuable the beast is. It is not only the worldly wealthy who are interested in the beasts, but many monks like to domesticate the beasts to protect themselves. The Gao family has no allies in hunting, everything is their exclusive secret. It is precisely because of this that the Gao family's attitude towards other hunters is more tolerant. If you think about it, a large household that ships 100 cases each time. For small retail investors who can't even take out a piece of goods, will they have the intention of slapping them to death?"

Yang Tianhong smiled: "So, they didn't monopolize this well, and they didn't set up a card at this intersection?"

Dongfang Xiao nodded: "If that's the case, the Gao family will really be angry." How much you can catch such a thing as a desolate beast depends on your own ability. Anyway, as long as you enter Mount Hesse, you will live and die, and you will be rich and rich. There are also rules for fetching water here, and everyone must come one by one in order. The Gao family has unique hunting skills, but they are not strong enough to be able to confront other families. Instead of provoking your opponents and causing trouble in vain, it is better to take a step back and let everyone who wants to get rich come in and try it. As long as someone dies inside, others will be dispelled. I have to admit that the head of the Gao family is very smart and knows how to figure out the minds of others. ”

As he was talking, a strong man wearing leather armor with a huge bow on his shoulder walked in the distance. His arms are bare, and his shoulders are covered in tattoos. He scanned Yang Tianhong and the others back and forth with a guarded gaze, and when he swept past the special mark of the Guiyuan Sect, his fierce expression was slightly restrained. In the end, his gaze stayed on Dongfang Xiao.

The strong man stood in place like an iron tower, clasped his hands into fists and saluted, and said angrily: "Dare to ask, is the other side a friend of the Dongfang family and the Guiyuan Sect?"

Dongfang Xiao took half a step forward, untied the jade plate on his waist and threw it over, and said loudly: "In the next Dongfang Xiao." ”

Yang Tianhong also saluted the strong man: "Under Yang Tianhong, the teacher will return to the Yuanzong." ”

The expression on the strong man's face became more relaxed. He quickly turned sideways to make way and pointed to the crowded wooden house in the distance. He said, "My master is over there, and I ask you to come with me." ”

......

This is a room with an area of about 100 square meters. It was spacious, no more furniture except for a few chairs.

Gao Liquan sat on a thick wooden chair.

His beard was so thick that it covered almost his entire lips and chin. His hair and beard are a little gray, and he looks a little older. A wolfskin vest fits perfectly. The thick arms are full of muscles and the skin is rough, but they are full of the fitness and strength that are characteristic of males.

It's not easy to get here by crossing the well. Although there was a strong man in front of him to lead the way, Yang Tianhong found that the people around him in hunting clothes had unkind eyes in their eyes. Some of them sharpened their knives without saying a word, or tried their blades with their thumbs as if they were ostentatious.

The scene is terrifying though. Yang Tianhong didn't feel much danger.

That's a form of intimidation.

Cowards will be so frightened that they will turn around and run. Perhaps, this is the purpose of the Gao family caravan. Maybe laugh out loud at the back of the cowardly escaper.

When following Dongfang Xiao into the wooden house, Yang Tianhong saw a trace of displeasure in Gao Liquan's eyes.

"Hey, young man, I didn't expect to see you here. ”

The object of Gao Liquan's speech was Dongfang Xiao. Although the Gao family and the Dongfang family have no direct business contacts, more than ten years ago, Gao Liquan once met Dongfang Xiao. At that time, Dongfang Xiao was also looking for a doctor. found the Gao family.

Dongfang Xiao's posture was very low. He bowed, smiled and said, "I've seen the master of the Gao family." ”

Gao Liquan belongs to the kind of rough man with an outgoing personality. He asked bluntly, "Oriental boy." What are you doing in this kind of place? Could it be that your Dongfang family has also taken a fancy to the desolate beast business?

Dongfang Xiao had long known Gao Liquan's straightforward way of speaking, and shook his head: "If you need a wild beast, I will ask people to directly find the master of the Gao family to buy it." The so-called three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion. In the field of wild beasts, only the Gao family is the best among them. Even if I, the Oriental family, want to be involved. It could only be my father who came over and talked to the master of the Gao family in person. ”

These words are neither humble nor arrogant, and there is flattery in them, but they are not revealed on the surface. How can he not hear the wisdom of standing up for power? Present. A smile appeared on Gao Liquan's rock-hard face, and his gaze shifted to Yang Tianhong who was standing next to him.

"Hehe! Guiyuan Sect is really a famous sect, and its disciples are all handsome and outstanding. Since this young man surnamed Yang is traveling with Dongfang Boy, it must be to get a wild beast?"

Yang Tianhong nodded: "That's true." ”

Gao Liquan said with a smile: "No problem! Acquaintances are easy to talk to, and the price is also easy to discuss." To tell you the truth, there are two second-grade desolate beasts that were just caught yesterday in the back barn. You all take a look, if you like it, I'll be the boss, make a discount, and sell it. ”

Dongfang Xiao had a smile on his face. Gao Liquan does take care of acquaintances very much. This man is extremely trustworthy. The second-grade desolate beast is placed in the outside world, and it is at least 50,000 taels of silver. If the price is folded in half, maybe 20,000 silver can be bought, which is indeed enough to give the face of the Dongfang family and the Guiyuan Sect.

Unexpectedly, Yang Tianhong was unmoved. He smiled faintly: "Thank you for the kindness of the master of the Gao family." However, I have different intentions from Brother Dongfang. In the next mountain, it is to catch wild beasts. I am not afraid of the jokes of the master of the Gao family, I am short of money, I am a poor man, and I am really helpless, so I thought of trying my luck in this Hessen Mountain, and seeing if I can catch a few wild beasts and go back in exchange for some silver. ”

The smile on Gao Liquan's face gradually faded.

Although he has a bold personality, he is not an idiot who can laugh at everyone.

Over the years, the beast business has become more and more difficult to do.

It's not that the beasts that you catch can't be sold, it's that the beasts in the Hessian Mountains are getting harder and harder to catch.

Everyone knows that beasts are valuable.

So, everybody comes to capture this kind of thing.

The Hessian Mountains are vast, but there is no such thing as fishing in the middle of the water. However, except for the Gao family, almost all the people who went into the mountains to hunt were new. They don't know the habits of the beasts, they don't know where they are, they're like poachers with shotguns trying to hunt elephants in the grasslands. It went around aimlessly for a whole year. I'm afraid it's hard to see even an elephant hair.

Humans are the most cunning animals in the world.

Since you can't find a goal, you quietly follow behind the back of an experienced person.

This kind of thing is often encountered by the Gao family hunting team, and even every time they enter the mountain, there is a large group of guys who follow them from afar.

If you just follow, that's fine. It's just that these guys who are obsessed with money are not successful enough to fail. Every time the Gao family hunter just discovered the wild beast. These guys who wanted money and didn't want to die immediately quickened their pace and rushed forward, shouting something in their mouths, "We found this wild beast", and shot out with bows and arrows in their hands from a long distance.

Anyone who likes to fish likes to look for a secluded place. Why? Just because fishing can't be interfered with by outsiders, if there is a person next to you who likes to shout, the fish will be scared away early, and Lao Tzu will still catch a fart?

Gao Liquan is arrogant, and most of the things he encounters smile and pass.

Only, those who want to get rich. It's really annoying.

Think about it, I worked hard to find the target of the hunt, and when I was just about to set a trap and prepare to start, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the side, slashed and killed with knives, and pounced on them with savage shouts. That kind of depression and anger is indeed enough to make you want to kill at that time.

After all, the Gao family does not have the deep heritage of the Oriental family. No matter how strong Gao Liquan is, it is impossible to be the enemy of the whole world. He finally gritted his teeth and endured.

However. There are more and more things like this.

Later, things became more and more dramatic. Those greedy creatures are no match for the beasts. The hunters of the Gao family were also implicated. The furious beasts don't care who you are, they see all humanoids as enemies and must be killed, leaving no one behind.

The desolate beast is actually the ancestor of all the birds and beasts in this world. Among them are docile individuals. Also a little grumpy. For example, the snowball velvet beast loved by dignitaries and nobles is a representative of a tame temperament. Although this beast has reached the third grade or above and likes to feed on poisonous snakes, it is very willing to get close to humans. In general, as long as you find the nest of the snowball velvet. As long as you set a trap to trap it, you will definitely gain something.

Strangers who want to get rich don't care about any of this, and they have never studied the habits of wild beasts. In the eyes of those people, the beast is a piece of gold that roams freely. Their methods were simple and rude, either they cast iron hooks and wire nets to cover the beast, or they shot the beast with a bow and arrow to make it unable to move. The harder the wire mesh struggled, the tighter it became, and many wild beasts were suffocated to death in this way. As for bow and arrow shooting...... Put yourself in your shoes, if someone your hands and feet with nails, will you honestly stand there and let him do whatever he wants?

The Gao family would not use these methods at all. Capturing wild beasts is, to a large extent, a test of communication between hunters and wild beasts. This is a secret that has been passed down from generation to generation of the Gao family, and it is also the real reason why the Gao family hunters move freely in the Hessian Mountains.

Every time you enter the mountain, as long as you encounter strangers following you, the Gao family hunting team will definitely suffer casualties. Over the years, the number of dead and wounded has reached an extremely high number. If it's dead, that's it. The biggest headache is the disabled, who are unable to engage in production, and the family has to spend a lot of money to support them. Over time, the hostility and anger towards strangers swelled to a terrible level like Martian oil.

Gao Liquan has the heart to make friends with the Oriental family, and he has always been respectful and respectful to a cultivation sect like Guiyuan Sect. However, the Hessian Mountains are, to some extent, equivalent to the Gao family's own territory. Gao Liquan felt that he had shown enough sincerity, but the kid named Yang Tianhong on the other side really didn't know how thick the sky was. Did he really think that it was so easy to catch a wild beast?

Thinking of this, Gao Liquan felt a flame inexplicably rising in his head. He jerked himself up from his chair, leaped forward, and stood firmly on the ground. Although Gao Liquan has a huge body, more than two meters tall, and is an extremely burly and sturdy giant, he does not give people the impression of being sluggish.

"There are many trades that can make money, and there is no need to come to Hesse. ”

Gao Liquan's eyes were firmly fixed on Yang Tianhong, and his tone and voice were full of threat: "If I were you, I would make a smarter choice." Either turn around and leave now, or stay here and don't go anywhere. I've always been fair in doing things. If you like wild beasts, I can call the shots and sell you a few at a cheap price. You have to understand that this is the Hessian Mountains, not the outside world. ”

Yang Tianhong's first visit to Hesse was also the first time he came into contact with Gao Liquan. He didn't understand that the Gao family hated the foreign predators almost to the core. Yang Tianhong just felt strange, and instinctively felt that Gao Liquan was too domineering. Could it be that he really thought that with the method of hunting wild beasts in his hands, he could dominate this Hessian Mountain alone?

Dongfang Xiao is a shrewd person, travels from south to north, has experience, and knows a little about these things that happen in the Hessian mountains. He coughed lightly a few times, walked up to Yang Tianhong's side, raised his hand, patted him on the shoulder, leaned close to his ear, and whispered: "Brother Xian, there is some misunderstanding here, things are not what you imagined. (To be continued.) )
