Chapter 438 Mr. Pate, the patriarch wants to see you. (Da Zhang Qiyue
ticket)
"you know?"
He Ao glanced at the young man.
He threw the tied young man into the car, and then while pointing the gun at the young man, he picked up everything on the ground and threw it into the car, including the black shadow's body.
The young man saw the black body. He shrank his head and moved his gaze to the other side. He did not dare to ask who it was, but slowly narrated,
"The Andavi family used to be the overlord of the nearby wilderness area. It is said that they are a family blessed by the gods. There are often powerful extraordinary beings in the family. All wilderness wanderers in the wilderness respect them."
The young man glanced at He Ao and continued, "But they are very mysterious and rarely interfere with the affairs of other Wilderness Wanderer families and Wilderness Wanderer camps."
"Was it?"
He Ao took out Aini's small suitcase from the previous off-road vehicle, threw it into the back seat of this new off-road vehicle, and asked casually.
"Of course, the overlord of this wilderness now is our Merk family, and our high priest is already a C-level powerhouse!"
The young man said with some pride, then he glanced at He Ao's calm and expressionless face, and said angrily, "But you are still not as good as uncle."
He didn't know how strong He Ao was and whether he could defeat the high priest.
But no matter whether He Ao can beat the high priest or not, He Ao can kill him easily now.
The high priest cannot decide his life or death now, but Ho Ao can.
But his flattery seems to have been taken in the wrong place.
He Ao didn't show any expression. He just packed up all the salutes and threw the young man into the passenger seat again, "Continue to talk about the Andavi family."
"There's nothing wrong with the Andavi family," the young man climbed into the car.
"After the high priest was promoted to C-level, he discovered that the Andavi family was just like that. The strongest ones were only D-class. Recently, the high priest seemed to be thinking about whether to rob the Andavi family. The Andavi family has existed for so many years, and there must be something.
Got a lot of good stuff.”
"In other words, do you know where the Andavi family is based?"
He Ao sat on the driver's seat, closed the door, and said, "Take me there."
The young man blinked and looked at He Ao, "Why are you looking for the Andavi family?"
His eyes moved downward slowly, as if he was thinking.
He Ao looked at the young man calmly, held the steering wheel with one hand, and pulled out the other hand instantly.
boom--
The young man didn't even see He Ao's movements clearly. The gunfire rang out immediately, and the hot bullets flew past his scalp.
The shock shook his mind and took away his courage.
"If you bring me to the wrong place, for example, you bring me into your camp, you can bet whether your C-level high priest is faster or my gun is faster."
The young man glanced at the muzzle of the gun that was almost standing in front of him, still smoking lightly, and a drop of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Look what you said, I will definitely bring you to the right location."
He forced a smile and nodded slowly and stiffly.
He Ao didn't say anything, he just calmly put down the gun and started the vehicle.
The Mercedes-Benz SUV turned around and entered the rain again.
This off-road vehicle originally belonged to the Merck family is larger than the small off-road vehicle that He Ao just drove, with a higher chassis and can adapt to more complex terrain.
Under the guidance of the young man, He Ao slowly drove off the flat road and entered the dark wilderness.
Different wilderness environments are different, and the powerful alien beasts that inhabit them are different. If there are no experienced hunters who are familiar with the environment to guide the way, it is easy to stray into the territory of powerful alien beasts and become their "late night takeaway".
The young man did not act like a monster and was very careful when guiding the way. After all, he knew very well that if he encountered a powerful beast, he would not be able to escape.
Soon, He Ao drove the off-road vehicle into a somewhat familiar area again.
Under the dark evening wind, the tall weeds swayed in the wind, and among the weeds, one or two white spots could be vaguely seen.
That's a ghost mushroom.
This is the outskirts of the ghost mushroom area.
A faint and tempting fragrance poured into He Ao's nostrils.
This time Aini didn't talk nonsense and directly entered the mode of martial arts practice.
"There is no way here. To get through here, you have to pass through the area with these man-eating mushrooms."
The young man glanced at He Ao carefully and said slowly.
"It's okay, just continue to show the way."
He Ao looked calm.
The young man looked at He Ao's face for a long time, trying to see the strange look on He Ao's face.
But what returned to him was Heao Gujing's unwavering face.
Then he raised his head and glanced at the rearview mirror, and found that Aini behind him also had her eyes closed. Although she didn't know what she was doing, she seemed to have resisted the temptation of the ghost mushroom.
At this moment, he finally understood that the two people in front of him were not afraid of ghost mushrooms at all.
His natural resistance advantage against ghost mushrooms was also gone.
However, his mood adjusted quickly, and the expression on his face basically did not change. He still maintained a flattering smile, "Go forward, reach the rock, and turn right."
The large off-road vehicle was walking slowly and bumpily in the dark mountains.
He Ao didn't dare to drive too fast. After all, the road was dangerous at night and it was raining. If the car accidentally overturned, he would be in trouble.
Of course, you can't stop. The longer you stay in the ghost mushroom area, the stronger its attraction seems to be.
However, perhaps because the ghost mushrooms continue to hunt the surrounding life, there are basically no surviving alien beasts on the edge of the ghost mushroom's sphere of influence, and He Ao and the others have not been attacked by alien beasts.
I walked over quietly all the way.
He Ao glanced out the car window.
All animals that can move around here and may come here may have been hunted down by ghost mushrooms, so that the place has fallen into a vacuum of life.
During the time he escaped from the convoy to the area near the ghost mushroom, he had not encountered any strange beasts.
At first, he thought it was because this road was built to be safer, but now it seems that these are all the 'contributions' of the ghost mushrooms.
The night was so quiet, as quiet as a dead zone.
Ghost mushrooms are not only a threat to humans, but also to any living creature that can move.
Under the guidance of the young man, He Ao slowly drove away from the area where the ghost mushrooms were located. Gradually, some sounds in the night appeared in his ears.
It was the hissing of some insects and the sound of some not-so-strong beasts running in the grass.
I don’t know how long it took, but the dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the bright moonlight appeared in the sky.
In front of He Ao, a faint light appeared.
These lights are hidden in a valley, with cliffs on one side and stone walls on the other three sides, forming a small 'camp'.
This residence is no longer the same as the one described in He Aocong's travel notes. It is obvious that the Andavi family changed their residence during this time.
The Wilderness Wanderer family is like this, changing locations frequently.
When all the prey around you have been hunted down, or powerful beasts appear around you, move to another place.
They would not be in the situation where Ronald's camp encountered the migration of A-level alien beasts before, and they had to move painfully and lose a lot of strength.
But this kind of behavior also determines that their family population will not be too large.
But because of this, the Wilderness Wanderer family is generally very united.
Chirp——
Before He Ao got close to the camp, crisp bird calls could be heard from all around.
This is actually the warning sound from the surrounding secret whistle, which means 'guests are coming'.
He Ao slowly slowed down the speed of the car.
This 'bird call' was also deliberately made for He Ao to hear.
If you are a person in the wilderness, or someone who knows the rules of the wilderness, you will slow down when you hear the chirping of birds, waiting for the 'master' to greet you.
If it's someone who doesn't know the rules of the wilderness, or someone who comes with bad intentions and won't react, then the 'master' may need to prepare for a fight.
This can roughly tell the identity of the person and whether the person coming has good intentions.
Soon as He Ao's speed slowed down, lights came on in the distance, and a motorcycle hidden in the grass rushed out from the surrounding grass, blocking He Ao's way.
The rider was a middle-aged man with light brown hair and some wrinkles on his face.
He glanced at the off-road vehicle and said with a heavy gaze, "Members of the Merck family, what are you doing here?"
He Ao opened the car door and got out of the car.
The middle-aged man straightened up instantly.
A slight rustling sound came from the surrounding grass.
He Ao politely raised his arms and showed his empty hands, then walked to the passenger seat, dragged the young man out and threw him to the ground. He glanced at the middle-aged man and said, "This car is not mine.
"
The middle-aged man looked at the tightly tied young man and looked at He Ao in confusion, "So who are you and why are you here?"
"I'm just a refugee," He Ao said calmly, "I came here looking for a temporary place to live, and by the way,"
He paused and said, "Look for the Fountain of Youth."
The middle-aged man's face changed slightly.
······
after an hour,
After the middle-aged man made several radio inquiries to some senior figures within the family, He Ao was brought into the camp.
The construction of the entire camp and houses is very simple.
A closed space was simply made out of wood and a hood, and it was directly used as a house to live in.
Everyone in the camp who was still awake looked curiously at these uninvited guests who arrived late at night.
The young man captured by He Ao was taken away by the middle-aged man. Not long after that, people who claimed to be the middle-aged man's subordinates came over and set up a relatively spacious tent for He Ao in the middle of the camp.
.
The frame of this tent is made of hard and extremely tough alloy steel. It is also divided into two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a living room, each equipped with simple furniture. At first glance, it looks like a very high-end residence.
This is a respect for He Ao's strength.
In the wilderness, the strong are respected.
During the process of entering the camp, the middle-aged man had already learned about what He Ao had done from the young prisoner of the Merk family.
Break through the Merck family's encirclement, suppress the Merck family's snipers, and counterattack when the equipment is inferior to the snipers in the encounter.
These things are enough to earn the respect of a wilderness wanderer.
After seeing the middle-aged man setting up such a tent for He Ao, the people around him looked at He Ao and his daughter differently.
Aini has never received such attention.
She approached He Ao cautiously.
She is good-looking, has good grades, and is considered a much-anticipated little princess in school.
But the attention in the city is somewhat reserved. Everyone abides by the rules and maintains basic sanity.
The attention in the wilderness was really aggressive, as if they wanted to take off their father and daughter's clothes.
He Ao gently blocked his daughter, blocking the sight of the wanderers in the surrounding wilderness.
He smiled gently at the wilderness wanderers around him, walked into the tent with his daughter and the salute, and closed the door curtain.
That's what it's like in the wilderness.
Whether they are men or women, wilderness wanderers are more likely to want to be with the strong, which means their offspring are more likely to survive.
This is human nature.
Of course, there are also reserved people in the wilderness, but because they can't find a strong mate, they end up leaving no offspring, and their genes disappear.
This is evolution.
······
"So we survived?"
After entering the tent, Aini lightly slapped her face.
"What? Do you think you are going to die?"
He Ao smiled and packed his luggage.
"There were times I thought I was going to die."
Aini let out a long breath, and then she looked around with some worry, "Is this the wilderness... Dad, is it really safe for us to stay here?"
"The Andavi family probably still follows the rules."
He Ao sat on the sofa in the living room and looked at his daughter, "You can find a room to sleep in first. I'll keep watch tonight."
Judging from the travelogue found by He Ao, since the author of the travelogue was able to enter the Andavi family's camp, obtain information, and come out safely, it proves that the Andavi family is not completely incommunicable.
The author also said that the Andavi family is very hospitable.
However, He Ao expressed doubts about this 'hospitality'. The rules in the wilderness are different, and almost no wilderness wanderer family is hospitable.
There is still a possibility in the camp. After all, the camp has to make money, so you can still make a fake smile.
The cruel environment makes the Wilderness Wanderers have a more direct personality, especially the Wilderness Wanderer family. If they don't "cheat" guests, they are reasonable and orderly, let alone "hospitable".
However, based on what He Ao saw when he entered the camp just now and the information in Ronal's memory, it seems that the Andavi family is a law-abiding party and will not introduce people into the camp and kill them secretly.
After He Ao let his daughter go into the house to rest, Aini did not leave.
She glanced at her father, slowly sat down next to He Ao, and said softly,
"Dad, please get some sleep. I know what kind of medicine you probably took to make you suddenly become so powerful. You almost passed out after the injection last night. Don't hold on, I will still rely on you in the future.
Well, if something really goes wrong with you, what will I do in the future? This place is in the wilderness..."
He Ao looked at Aini's cheek.
There were some tears in the little girl's eyes, which looked sparkling.
She turned her head away, wiped her eyes with her hands, and then quickly turned back, "Anyway, you should rest for a while. After I practiced your breathing method, my health has improved a lot. I can stay vigil in the first half of the night. If anything happens, I will
Just call you."
He Ao looked at his daughter's cheek and showed a gentle smile. He touched his daughter's head and said, "My Aini has grown up."
"They say that if you touch your head, you will become a fool," Aini pouted, "I am already sixteen years old. Of course, when I grow up, I can get a driver's license."
He Ao smiled. He leaned on the soft sofa and slowly squinted his eyes.
As his body relaxed, a huge feeling of fatigue hit his heart.
The fatigue this time was slightly weaker than the last time, because he restrained himself from using super memory most of the time, but the overwhelming fatigue of his body still made him unable to move in an instant.
Aini looked at her father, who was leaning on the sofa and fell asleep immediately, still snoring, and sighed.
She got up and with difficulty completely laid her father's body down on the sofa. Then she took a quilt from the room inside and covered her father with it.
It started to rain heavily outside again, and the raindrops hit the top of the tent, making a soft sound.
In the middle of the night, He Ao opened his eyes and woke up from his deep sleep.
This was the first good night's sleep he had since starting this mission. Although he still maintained some of his body's sensitivity to the outside world and did not sleep to death, his spirit did recover well.
He glanced at Aini, who was holding her face in a daze, and smiled.
On the table is the little girl's bracelet, which has been played with and has run out of battery.
He waved his hand in front of his daughter's eyes a few times, and Aini suddenly realized it. She sat up suddenly and looked at He Ao blankly, "Dad, are you awake?"
"Go back and get some sleep."
He Ao smiled.
······
He Ao let Aini go back to the room to sleep, while he dug out the instant coffee the middle-aged man had prepared for him and made a cup of coffee.
The raindrops were still falling outside. He Ao listened to the sound of rain and sipped his coffee.
When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone down the tent window, the closed door curtain was slowly pushed open, and the middle-aged man who brought He Ao in yesterday looked at He Ao deeply.
