171. Chapter 171

In Nanshan Village, when the hunting team appeared in the earthen wall guard satellite line, the entire Nanshan Village resounded with a low horn sound, obviously, these guards saw the black skull flag hung by the hunting team, and immediately sent a mournful horn sound to the village.

The entire Nanshan Village was shaken, and everyone understood the meaning of this horn sound, which showed that the hunting party had a large number of casualties, and at least more than five casualties, this kind of complaining horn sound would appear.

'Which man will die this time?!' At this moment, all the men, women, and children who were eagerly rushing to the south gate of the village had such a thought in their minds.

Outside the south gate, many villagers looked worriedly at the hunting team that was slowly approaching in the distance, as well as the black skull flag that all the villagers in the team did not want to see!

The sharp-eyed villagers found at a glance that there were at least twenty fewer members of the hunting team, and this discovery made their hearts feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and a chill began to rise in their hearts.

Woo...... Woo...... Woo......

In the distance, the hunting team of Nanshan Village also sounded the mournful horn sound, and on the earthen wall, there were also bursts of mournful horn sounds, echoing it from afar, and the women at the entrance of the village couldn't help but cry bitterly.

As the hunting party got closer and closer, many of the women who couldn't find their men collapsed on the spot, and their past experience told them that their man must be gone!

Soon, the hunting team came to the entrance of the village, headed by the village chief Hu Guo, and the men of the many hunting teams all turned over and dismounted, strode to many villagers, and knelt on one knee!

They didn't say anything, their eyes were red, and they just used their actions to express their condolences for the deceased.

At this moment, the women who saw their men come back were naturally secretly relieved, but they also felt heartache for those sisters who had lost their relatives, after all, they might be one of them in the future!

"Village Chief, what the hell is going on?!Why are the casualties so huge this time?!" After roughly calculating the number of losses, Hu Tu, the second master of Nanshan Village, couldn't help but ask loudly.

According to the rules of Nanshan Village, as the second master, he must stagger with the first master Hu Guo to carry out the hunting task, and because of this, he was unable to participate in this hunt!

Still maintaining a kneeling posture, the village chief Hu Guo recounted the encounter aloud with a heavy face, and after listening to his explanation, everyone gasped and cast their grateful eyes on the three Du Long riding on Xiao Lie.

In this regard, Du Long could only nod to all the villagers and didn't say anything!

"Warriors of Nanshan Village, welcome home!" Hu Tu shouted loudly after listening to the explanation of the village chief Hu Guo, and then looked at all the men of the hunting party with red eyes.

At this point, Hu Guo led all the members of the hunting team to stand up and began to arrange for people to pull cartloads of prey back to the village, and many villagers who had lost their relatives looked at the corpses of these sand leopard demons with great anger, because their relatives died under their claws!

Entering Nanshan Village, the first thing is, of course, to distribute the prey, these sand leopard demons are very large, enough for all the villagers in the entire Nanshan Village to eat for a month.

Du Long originally thought that after such a heavy casualty, the villagers would be very sad, and it would be very deserted that night, but he never thought that the entire Nanshan Village would actually hold a very large-scale sacrifice event.

On the village square, five or six huge bonfires were lit, roasting fragrant sand leopard demon meat, and the elderly people in the village were dressed very strangely, covered with colorful dyes, and danced the unique sacrificial dance of the Hu people around the bonfire!

Under the explanation of the village chief Hu Guo, Du Long finally understood, it turned out that this was the meaning of sending those departed souls to heaven bliss!

After the sacrifice, it is a carnival, and the Hu people believe that the souls of the warriors have been born in heaven after the sacrifice, and there is no need to suffer in the world, which should be a great joy to celebrate!

For the Hu people, those who are greedy for life and fear of death and abandon their teammates cannot be reborn in Paradise Bliss, and only those warriors who die in battle are eligible to enjoy the treatment of Heaven Elysium!

Because of this, the Hu people must be the most brave and invincible existence on the battlefield, even a powerful country like the Haotian Empire is afraid of this barbarian Hu kingdom and dare not give them any fertile land, lest they become stronger in the future and lose control!

After a night of carnival, the next morning, it was rare for the entire Nanshan Village to see a day without cultivation, according to their customs, they could sleep until the sun rose today!

At the dining table of the village chief's house, Hu Guo said: "Little Brother Dulong, I want to sell these demon pills as soon as possible, so that the money in exchange can be distributed to the families of the victims!"

Du Long groaned, "Brother Hu, how much can these demon pills be sold for?!"

"That fourth-order demon pill can be sold for a thousand gold coins, the third-order demon pill can probably be sold for about a hundred to five hundred, and as for the second-order demon pill, it can only be sold for a few dozen gold coins at most! Overall, this batch of demon pills can probably be sold for more than 10,000 gold coins!" Hu Guo replied after a while.

"Only a fourth-order demon pill can be sold for a thousand gold coins?!" Du Long said in amazement.

"I know that in your Haotian Empire market, the first-grade demon pill can be sold for ten to fifty gold coins, the second-grade demon pill can be sold for one hundred to five hundred gold coins, the third-grade demon pill can be sold for one thousand to five thousand gold coins, and the fourth-grade demon pill can be sold for ten thousand to fifty thousand gold coins! But after all, we are the source of the demon pill shipment, and there are layers of merchants above it who want to make money, and there is only this price in our hands!" Hu Guo obviously knew why Du Long would ask that.

Nodding, Du Long muttered: "That's it! Brother Hu Guo, don't go and sell demon pills! It just so happens that I also have a business of buying demon pills in my territory, so you can sell all these demon pills to me at a price of 50,000 yuan! In this way, I can make a little money when I take it back! You will not be exploited by the upper buyers, and it will be mutually beneficial!"

How could Hu Guo not know that he was obviously helping himself in a different way, if there were channels, these demon pills would be worth at least 100,000 gold coins, but it was impossible for any buyer to buy them at such a high price, otherwise where would they get their huge profits?!

"This ...... How does this work...... If Brother Du Long wants it, just give it 10,000 gold coins!How can I let you give you tens of thousands of extra gold coins, and besides, these demon pills should have been yours!" Hu Guo said a little at a loss.

"Brother Hu Guo, your task now is to hurry up and gather more people to join the territory of Fengli County, instead of bothering about how to sell these demon pills at a high price! You can collect these gold coins first, I only have about 20,000 yuan in cash, and the rest are large gold tickets, and after I find a place to cash out the golden tickets, I will return the remaining 30,000 gold coins to you! That's it!" Du Long said with a resolute face.

Looking at the big bag containing 20,000 gold coins, Hu Che couldn't help but swallow his saliva, it was the first time he had seen so many glittering gold coins in front of him.

"No, no, no! 20,000 is enough, little brother Du Long, this is all the demon pills that I have saved in recent years, you can take them!" Hu Guo hurriedly pulled out a large bag from behind a hidden counter, and it was indeed full of colorful demon pills!

Du Long directly accepted the big bag, turned it over and put it into the space of the snake ring, as for the money, he didn't bother to say anything, and it was a waste of saliva to talk too much now.

"Brother Hu Guo! Next, you should recruit more people to join my Fengli County territory as soon as possible, the more the merrier! I have to go to the city to exchange more gold coins, otherwise, I am afraid that the promise of ten gold coins per household will not be fulfilled!" Du Long confessed: "After breakfast, I will go out on a long trip, and after exchanging the gold coins, I will rush back!"

"Okay! I will definitely handle this matter well! Brother Du Long, don't worry!" Hu Guo replied loudly with 20,000 gold coins, seeing that Du Long gave 20,000 gold coins so easily, he was even more confident in his promise!

So, during the meal, Du Long asked the location of the nearest town, and then after breakfast, he took the two beauties to the east quickly!

"Childe ......" The big lion was hurrying away, and Xia Qinglian said without saying anything.

"Huh?!" Du Long looked back in amazement, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw her expression of wanting to speak and stopping, he always saw that she was a little distracted for a while, but she was too busy to forget to ask.

"Qinglian! I see that you have been in a state of disgrace lately! If you have something to say, if you see me like this again, I will be angry!" "I know that this Nizi never likes to trouble others, which has a lot to do with her similar to Lin Daiyu's experience, she is a little too inferior, and she can only use appropriate threats against her!"

"That...... Son...... Can you make a detour to Tiebi Pass?!" Xia Qinglian replied hesitantly, but still didn't explain the specific reason.

"Iron Wall Pass?!" Du Long asked in amazement, "Do you know any acquaintances there?!What are you doing there?!"

"Oh! I remember!" Princess Huofeng, who was sitting in front, slapped her head and shouted loudly as if she remembered something: "I know what Sister Qinglian wants to do in Tiebi Pass!"

"Really?!Tell me about it!" Du Long saw that Xia Qinglian had been stunned for a long time but couldn't speak, his face was red to the base of his neck, and he still didn't tell the reason, and after hearing Huo Feng's exclamation, he immediately turned around and asked curiously.

"Husband, you big fool! Have you forgotten about Qinglian's parents?!" Huo Feng scolded with hatred.

"Oh...... I understand! Oh my God! I actually forgot such an important thing, Qinglian! I'm really sorry, there have been so many things that have happened recently, I actually forgot such an important thing!" Du Long slapped his head on the spot, turned to Xia Qinglian and said apologously.
