Hujiaweizi.

This is a very common settlement in the wilderness. Most of them have a clan as the core, which recruits refugees, reclaims wasteland, fishes, hunts and cultivates, builds walls, repairs armor, trains young men, and trains war beasts in order to protect themselves and multiply.

Hujiaweizi is such an extremely standard wilderness stronghold. The earth-and-stone structure wall is ten feet high, three feet thick, and several miles in circumference. It contains more than a thousand households and a population of nearly ten thousand, including thousands of strong men, all of whom are cattle.

He is a tall and powerful man who dares to wield weapons and beasts and is a life-threatening man.

Because of its strong strength, and even more because of its "loyalty" and "observance of rules", this place has become the best resting and trading place for wasteland caravans like Zhou Laodao. Over the years, this has also brought great changes to Hujiaweizi

With abundant vitality and financial resources, Hujiaweizi developed more and more prosperously and grew stronger.

It was precisely because of their strong strength and abundant financial resources that Lu Qian and others saw the scene where Hujiaweizi set up an ambush with twelve heavy hunting crossbows and brazenly killed a terrifying Rifting Wind Wither.

As its name suggests, this Split Wind Wither flies extremely fast. Its steel feathers are almost invulnerable and cannot be damaged by ordinary weapons. It also has a ferocious temperament and a strong desire for revenge. What's even more outrageous is that it has such a huge body and can fight in battle.

The powerful Splitting Wind Wither is actually a social creature. If an ordinary person offends it, it will lead to wanton revenge from the entire group!

Although the cracked wind-withered flesh contains majestic essence, which is very beneficial to tempering the body and replenishing vitality, especially its bone marrow, it is an excellent product for strengthening muscles and bones and improving cultivation. Because it is difficult to deal with, in the wilderness

, very few forces are willing to deal with Split Wind Wither!

Zhou Laodao was constantly surprised when Hujiaweizi did this today.

"Brothers Hushan, you Hujiaweizi are really heroic!" Under the leadership of two men from the Hu family, when the convoy was heading towards the Hujiaweizi, Zhou Laodao said to Hushan who was leading the way: "How?

, the pair of claws that are cracked by the wind, and the longest feathers, sell them to me."

The claws of the Split Wind Wither are extremely sharp and can penetrate gold stone, which is a good material for forging weapons.

Feathers withered by the wind are born with the magical effects of splitting the wind, breaking the wind, and chasing the wind. They are used as arrow feathers. After the arrow is shot, it can stir up a whirlwind to wrap around the arrow, and the arrow's range can be increased by more than three times out of thin air.

, it can also cause the arrow to spin rapidly, adding a strong armor-piercing penetration out of thin air.

Placed in the wasteland, the feathers withered by the wind are a rare treasure for some sharpshooters. If they are handed over to the blacksmith master to make a special 'wind-breaking armor-piercing arrow', the loss of an arrow almost means

The life of a master!

Therefore, the value of this wind-withered feather is extremely high, much higher than the value of its claws. It is almost a 'strategic material'. Therefore, knowing that Hushan and the two people cannot make the decision, Zhou Laodao also

He diligently set up a trap, hoping to quickly find the person who could make the decision through the two of them.

Hu Shan coughed heavily, then he waved his hand and said bluntly: "I can't make the decision on this matter, you have to go find Hu Qing."

Zhou Laodao frowned.

He shook his head and said nothing.

Lu Yi glanced at Zhou Laodao. Zhou Laodao trembled, and hurriedly came to Lu Yi's side. He leaned against his ear and told Hu Qing's identity - Hu Qing was the second son of Hu Bao, the current head of the Hu family's Weizi family.

The seventh son was born to Hubao's most favored little wife. He was also extremely talented and intelligent, so he was extremely doted on by Hubao.

The people in the Hu family are all straight men with a straight gut.

But this Hu Qing, in Zhou Laodao's words, shouldn't be named Hu, he should be surnamed 'Fox'. I don't know why Hu Qing gave birth to a belly full of twists and turns, he likes to play tricks the most, and his belly is filled with

This is a small thought lest oneself suffer a loss.

Before Huqing, Zhou Laodao went to and from Hujiaweizi. Whenever we agreed on a deal, the price was about the same. If you gave me an extra hundred catties of salt, I would give you an extra thirty or fifty pieces.

Animal skins, or other random supplies are common things - running around and soliciting favors, isn't this normal?

But when Hu Qing grew up and started to interfere in the affairs of the Hu family, things gradually changed.

Under Hu Qing's management, in the past two years, wanting to trade with Hu family Weizi has become the most troublesome thing for rough men like Zhou Laodao - Hu Qing, and the people around him who don't know how to train him

A few personal followers insist on running the business "every penny counts", truly every hair on every piece of fur is clearly accounted for.

He would try his best to raise the price of Hujiaweizi's products.

He would try his best to suppress the prices of the materials brought by Zhou Laodao and other caravans.

Although this has won a lot of extra benefits for Hujiaweizi and won the support of some people in Hujiaweizi, it has also made many caravans who come and go feel unhappy. In the past few years, as far as Zhou Laodao knows, at least some

The ten teams that had been going to Hujiaweizi all year round simply took a detour to other weizi.

There are no roads in this huge wasteland, so everyone can walk at will.

No one stipulates that when everyone goes out to make a living, they must go through your Hu’s house. Is this the truth?

Therefore, when he heard that Hu Qing was in charge of this hunting of Split Wind Wither, Zhou Laodao couldn't help grinding his teeth - he wanted to get Split Wind Wither's claws and feathers from Hu Qing's hands.

Isn't there going to be heavy bleeding?

"He is an interesting person." Lu Qian smiled.

Lu Qian didn't cover up his existence intentionally. He couldn't use his magic power now, and he couldn't cover up his existence. However, he was sitting next to the driver who was driving the coach, and the furs piled high behind him covered him.

Most of the body was covered with thick outlines of Hu Shan, so he didn't even notice Lu Qian's presence.

But Zhou Laodao leaned close to Lu Yi and whispered. As soon as Lu Yi spoke, the rich voice came. Hushan and the two subconsciously looked at this side seriously... At first, the two of them

I haven't noticed anything unusual about Lu Qian yet.

Lu Qian was sitting on the carriage with his legs curled up, making him much taller than an ordinary person.

Hu Shan and the two hadn't noticed this yet - they just thought that Lu Qian was standing next to the coachman, so he was much taller than ordinary people, which was quite reasonable.

But take a closer look!

"My mother! How can this man be so majestic?" Hushan and the others were startled, and jumped back several steps - Lu Qian was sitting on the carriage, both more than ten feet tall, taller than

Standing beside the carriage, Zhou Laodao was half taller than himself.

Looking at Lu Qian sitting cross-legged on the bicycle frame, if he stood up now, wouldn't he be more than two feet tall?

The average size of the men in the Hu family's fence, placed in the surrounding fences that are more than a thousand miles away, is quite impressive, with an average height of eight or nine feet, and all of them are loud and tough men.

But with a body of more than two feet tall, it is as tall as three serious men!

In the wasteland, there is one of the most superficial and common adaptation rules - the larger the beast, the more powerful it is. This rule can basically be applied to humans.

How much strength does a man over two feet tall have to have?

Cold sweat broke out on Hushan's forehead. Zhou Laodao himself was a well-known 'real cultivator' in the wilderness, and no ordinary man of a hundred or so could withstand the chops he made with his cloak knife.

There is another giant-like Lu Qian in Mengbuding...

"Master Dao, your team is getting more and more prosperous." Hushan said in shock: "Isn't this brother of yours just some wild monster? How can a serious person be so big?"

"Nonsense, where are there mountain spirits and wild monsters in this world? Have you seen them? Or has your mother seen them?" Zhou Laodao rolled his eyes strangely, and laughed and cursed: "This is my serious brother Zhou Laodao, who goes to the law and goes to the sea.

, just call him Brother Fahai. Stop rambling and take us to the station quickly. We will be waiting for you with hot water, soup and noodles. I have brought you some good things this time."

The two of them in Hushan were stunned. They looked at the piles of beast furs on the dozens of specially-made carts behind Zhou Laodao. Then they looked at the piles of beast pelts on the dozens of giant camel beasts following behind the carts.

The packages full of big and small packages made me smile immediately.

"Hot water, hot soup, hot noodles, you can get whatever you want...hot ones are also available for girls, hey." Hushan smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed: "You guys are in a hurry. A few days ago, the Lin family next door

It was broken, and many men were killed and injured, but a group of women escaped with their babies..."

Hushan winked at Zhou Laodao: "Hey, I understand everything I need to know!"

Zhou Laodao gasped: "Hey, the Lin family's Weizi, tsk...it's obviously unlucky. I said back then that the Lin family's Weizi were greedy for cheap and had to purchase armor from Ma Lao Tan'er.

Sooner or later something will happen, no, something will happen!"

Shaking his head, Zhou Laodao began to talk, for example, the armor plate was too thin, the amount of steel on the blade was too little, the arrow quenching technology was not up to standard, the bowstring of the heavy crossbow cut corners, etc...

He deliberately amplified his voice so that Hushan and the two could hear it clearly.

Lu Qian couldn't help but grin.

Amidst Zhou Laodao's muttering, the team slowly approached the Hu family enclosure, followed the wall around a small half circle, and entered the city through the only southeast gate.

The Hu family's siege also took a lot of effort to defend itself. The several-mile-long city wall only has one gate in the southeast for entry and exit. Near the city gate, a few dozen acres of land was dug out.

There are several bridge piers punched into the deep water pit, and a long suspension bridge is built over it.

This kind of defensive strength is naturally nothing to Lu Qian, who is used to seeing big cities. But put it in this wilderness, ordinary animals, bandits, horse thieves and the like, facing this city defense,

I really have a headache.

Again, there is no magical power, no magic, and the environment of the world here is special. A "real cultivator" like Zhou Laodao can only jump five or six feet high at the risk of his life. A city wall as high as ten feet high like the Hu Family Wall

, its defensive power can be called a 'copper wall and an iron wall'.

After walking across the suspension bridge and entering the city gate, I saw that behind the city gate, there was a large open space surrounded by wooden fences and waist-high earthen walls.

In the open space, there are several rows of large and spacious wooden houses with enclosed animal pens. There are more animal skin tents of various colors set up in the open space. There are also four tall sentry towers and arrow towers standing at the four corners, with tigers on them.

The archers in Weizi's house were chatting and laughing happily.

Lu Qian noticed that the tops of the four sentry towers, which were nearly twenty feet high, actually had metal launch pads, on which were mounted heavy crossbows that could move in four directions and shoot downward at an angle of more than sixty degrees.

Look at the crossbow arm made of steel, about six feet long, and the heavy crossbow arrow placed on the shelf next to the archer. It is more than four feet long and as thick as a thumb. The arrowhead alone is half a foot long and densely covered with barbs.

Lu Qian could imagine how it would feel to have such crossbow arrows piercing his body.

Lu Qian touched the wound on his chest that had mostly healed. Judging from the two cuts that Zhou Lao made on him, this heavy crossbow did not pose much of a threat to Lu Qian. But for the guys in the caravan,

Even Zhou Laodao might not be able to withstand the fire of this heavy crossbow, let alone the other guys.

Lu Qian couldn't help but feel his heart twitch slightly.
