Alishan, located five hundred miles southwest of Laer City, is a barren mountain.
There are not many people there, and the people who go there are basically treasure hunters. Many poor people have no choice but to go to the mountains to hunt for treasures. If they find good treasures, they can present them to the Cassirer family and receive generous rewards.
Gu Zheng and the other three checked out of the room and flew directly to the edge of Alishan.
There are approximately twenty-four hours in a day in hell, but the night takes up twenty-two hours. Most of the time is darkness, which makes Gu Zheng very uncomfortable. Even though the spiritual power of hell is better than that of the earth, Gu Zheng is not willing to
I stay here and just want to go back as soon as possible.
"There is a small town down there, let's go and ask first!"
Soon we arrived at Alishan. Alishan is very big. The place Brooke had inquired about before was only Alishan. The specific location was not clear. He still needed to continue asking.
The town is not big, with only two streets, but there are quite a lot of people in the town. The three of them landed nearby and walked over.
The town is not big, but there are many inns. Half of them are inns, and the rest are various grocery stores, mainly selling things used in the mountains. They have everything.
There are anti-insect potions, some climbing trees, and small traps. There are many and varied things.
"You three, are you staying in a hotel or do you want to buy something?"
As soon as the three of them entered the town, someone immediately came up to them and greeted them with a smile.
“Stay in the hotel!”
Brooke replied directly. He originally wanted to inquire about some information, so naturally he wanted to stay first.
Although there are many inns here, they are all very crude and cannot be compared with those in Lyle City. After staying here, the three of them realized that this is a barrier to entering Alishan. People who go to Alishan will basically come here first.
Because of this, there are so many inns and shops here, all prepared for treasure hunters.
Treasure hunters, unless they are particularly hard-working people, are generally poor people, so the conditions of the inn are very unusual. Poor people are not willing to stay in a good inn, as long as they have a place to sleep.
Some people even rested outside and did not enter the inn at all.
Although it is dark most of the time in hell, there is still time for rest, but the rest time is completely arranged by yourself. Basically, there are twenty-two hours of darkness, and you can sleep at any time. Unlike the earth, day and night are very distinct, basically
They all sleep at night.
Brooke went out, while Gu Zheng took out a few ingredients and prepared to make something delicious.
These days, Gu Zheng has also visited some shops in Laer City and bought a lot of ingredients. Although the conditions in Hell are average, the growth of the ingredients is still good because there is no pollution.
The days in hell are very short, but because of the spiritual power of heaven and earth, most of the ingredients here are of high quality, second-rate is very common, low-level is very rare, and there is not a single piece of garbage.
There are also some ordinary ones, and even in the city, Gu Zheng bought medium-level ingredients, which is unimaginable on earth.
No wonder Brooke said that even if someone opens the teleportation array, it is impossible to summon the devil to the earth. The environment in hell is better than the earth. Why should people go there? The earth has no place to attract the devil.
It is a pity that the Dark Association and the Holy See of Light do not know this, or do not believe this, so they have been guarding the old castle and being suspicious of each other.
The ingredients were actually very good. Gu Zheng had used Hell ingredients to make delicacies before. Brooke praised them greatly after eating them, but Hell's overall cooking skills were not good and he wasted these ingredients.
"smell good!"
As soon as Gu Zheng was finished, Brooke's voice came from outside. He came back very early, and he didn't know if he had heard any useful information.
"You Chinese have a saying that 'it's better to come early than to come by chance', I won't be polite!"
Brooke sat down directly in front of the table and said with a smile. He still spoke Chinese, and it was very standard Chinese.
"Eat whatever you want, have you found a place?"
Gu Zheng served the delicious food and asked Brooke again. Brooke shook his head gently: "Not yet. There are a few places that can be targeted at the moment. I will know after I have to visit them. I have just found a guide and he will lead him."
Let's go!"
Determining a connection point is not that easy and requires repeated verification. Gu Zheng did not say anything. He knew that Brooke had been working hard. Besides, only Brooke could do this. He had no way to help Brooke.
In fact, the weapon spirit comes from across the realm, directly from the fairy world to the earth, but that is the method of Master Tiexian. At the level of Master Tiexian, there is no need for any connection points at all, and you can travel to and from all realms at will.
It is a pity that he is too far away from the realm of Master Tiexian. Whether he can reach the realm of Master Tiexian is still unknown.
After eating the delicious food, the butler called over the guide that Lord Brooke had found.
The guide is a young man who looks to be in his mid-twenties, not tall, and of yellow race, but his skin is very white. The skin of the hell people is very white. It is probably related to the short daytime, but most of it is night, and the skin is very white.
It's useless for nothing.
"grown ups!"
The guide's name is Wu Suo. He not only has a Chinese face, but also has the same name as a Chinese, which is very simple.
"Lead the way!"
Brooke nodded slightly, and Wu Suo agreed immediately, but then looked at the three of them.
"Just go like this!"
Brooke understood his doubts and immediately added that the people who go up the mountain from here are all treasure hunters. There are individual treasure hunters, there are also groups of three or five, and there are also rich boys like Brooke who want to experience adventure.
This guide, after noticing Brooke's clothes, had already classified him as a rich man. Only rich men would look for a guide here. Ordinary treasure hunters don't need it at all, and they won't look for it.
No matter what kind of person they are, they will carry a lot of things, carrying large and small bags on their backs. But the three people in front of me, one old, one young and one middle school, didn't bring anything. It felt like child's play no matter what.
The older one is the housekeeper, the younger one is Gu Zheng, and Brooke looks less than forty, so he can be considered middle-aged.
"okay!"
After Brooke explained, the guide stopped asking. Since he didn't bring anything, he must not have been in the mountains for long, so he could complete his errand easily.
The guide felt a little excited when he thought of the generous remuneration given by Brooke. This remuneration was much higher than his usual income, and it was enough to equal his annual income. This was the main reason why he thought that these people were young men from rich families.
Ordinary treasure hunters are here to make money. Who would be so generous and give so much money to a guide?
The guide was young, his legs and feet were very nimble, and he walked very fast. Not long after they left the town, they entered the mountain. The guide wanted to help the three of them walk slower, but Brooke stopped him and asked him to walk as fast as possible. Brooke needed
Get there early to determine if there is a connection point.
The three of them set out at dawn, when the most people set out to enter the mountain. Although the dawn time is very short, more people can gather at dawn. More people entering the mountain also means it is safer.
Regardless of whether we are friends together or not, when we go into the mountains together, we will feel a sense of security.
Alishan has the same name as Alishan in China, but it is far less beautiful and gentle than Alishan in China. Alishan is very big. It should be said that it is a mountain range. There are no humans living in it, only various beasts and even monsters.
beast.
If you encounter ordinary beasts, that's it. Ordinary beasts have no intelligence. Even a single person can deal with them as long as they have the right tools. Several people can round up the beasts and make extra meals for themselves.
But if you encounter monsters, you have to ask for blessings.
There are two types of monsters. One is the monsters without intelligence. They all have extremely powerful power. Ordinary people are no match for them. They will basically die when they encounter them. When they encounter monsters with intelligence, it is even more difficult.
You can't run away. Many monsters have inner elixirs, which are also what the demons want. If the existence of monsters is discovered somewhere, demons will definitely come to hunt them. All smart monsters expose themselves and wait for it.
They are either relocated or hunted.
However, over a long period of time, the places in Alishan that have a high mortality rate and which places are safe have been explored, and the dangerous areas are basically not visited by anyone except treasure hunters who are desperately trying to get rich.
Those who enter will basically escape death.
Even so, there are still many people who go to these dangerous areas. Places that no one has ever been to. Dangerous places also mean that they have more and better resources and are easier to encounter.
Those who survive a narrow escape will definitely be able to exchange for huge wealth and improve the lives of themselves and their families.
Along the way, Gu Zheng and the others encountered several waves of treasure hunters entering the mountains, most of whom were carrying large bags. They were all surprised when they saw the four people with nothing.
Gu Zheng and the others ignored these treasure hunters and let the guide lead them on. They walked for six hours before the guide stopped.
"Sir, this is where you want to come!"
The guide looked at Brooke with a smile. Brooke said that he should take him into the mountain to find a few places. He did not mention other places. He mentioned one place first. According to Brooke's description, it was here.
Brooke looked around and nodded slightly. Gu Zheng also looked around. This was an extremely ordinary place. Gu Zheng couldn't see any difference at all.
"Go and rest first. I'll call you when something happens!"
Brooke spoke to the guide, and he kept walking around. Gu Zheng did not move, standing aside and watching him. Only Brooke knew how to find the connection point. Gu Zheng didn't know, so he could only wait.
"Let's go to the next place!"
Half an hour later, Brooke sighed slightly, called the guide, and told him the characteristics of another place. After listening for a while, the guide immediately nodded and set off again.
Looking at his appearance, Gu Zheng knew that this was not the real connection point, but Gu Zheng was not disappointed either.
From the beginning, he did not expect to find the exact place here. That would be too bad luck. After all, the connection points are very rare and cannot be encountered casually.
The second place Brooke mentioned was not far from here, and a few people arrived there more than three hours later.
The result was still disappointing, this was not the place they were looking for.
"Sir, let's have something to eat before we leave. I'll go find something to eat!"
We have been in the mountain for more than ten hours, and the guide is an ordinary person. He has been hungry for a long time. He had eaten some solid food before, and now he wants to take a rest and get some game to eat.
"That's fine, but you don't have to go, I'll go instead!"
This time we are talking about Guzheng. The resources in the mountains are still very rich. Along the way, Guzheng saw a lot of inferior ingredients, some ordinary, and a few medium ingredients.
He quietly put away all the ordinary and medium-level ingredients. There were too many inferior ones. Gu Zheng only found some that he was interested in and didn't want the rest.
In front of the guide, Gu Zheng did not intend to take out the kitchen utensils directly from the ancient space. For him, even if he used ready-made things to make delicacies, he could still make extremely delicious dishes.
Gu Zheng left on his own, and came back after a while with two hare-like things in his hands and a handful of unknown grass.
Using the knife brought by the guide, he cut out a few wooden sticks and processed the game. Gu Zheng quickly lit a fire and started cooking the simplest barbecue.
Although the barbecue is simple, the taste is not ordinary. Gu Zheng used some ingredients found nearby as ingredients, and the roast produced a very fragrant smell. After a while, Brooke and the guide couldn't help but smell it.
stand up.
"I've also grilled rabbit meat, but compared to what you grilled, it's far behind!"
The guide's mouth was full of oil after eating, and he did not forget to praise Gu Zheng, but the barbecue made by Gu Zheng tasted really good, especially Brooke, who was even more surprised. He knew very well that Gu Zheng did not use his spatial artifact this time
For anything, he can make such good food simply by using the local materials, which is enough to show that his cooking skills have reached the pinnacle.
Gu Zheng's cultivation level is not low, and he has such good cooking skills, which really shocked him.
After eating and drinking enough, the four of them quickly set out on the road. What they drank was mountain spring water. The quality of the mountain spring water here was at the ordinary level and it was completely drinkable.
The third place, the fourth place, again disappointing.
The guide was already very tired, so Brooke asked him to find a way to rest, while he, Gu Zheng and the housekeeper closed their eyes and meditated.
After resting, we set off again. The guide felt tired at this time. Although the job this time was more expensive, the money was not so easy to come by. I didn’t expect that several people didn’t bring anything and they had to walk in the mountains for so long.
Know what they are looking for.
The fifth place, the sixth place, it's still wrong.
"No, you absolutely can't go here!"
After talking about the seventh place, the guide's face suddenly changed, and then he shook his head quickly. The place Brooke mentioned this time was on the edge of a dangerous area. Although it was the edge, it was also very dangerous. There was generally no one there.
Dare to go.
So after hearing what Brooke said, the guide immediately refused. Their guides would never go to dangerous areas. They were not desperate treasure hunters and would not take their own lives as a joke.
