This time Brooke was not so easy to talk to. His voice was not loud, but it was full of irresistible majesty.
Brooke will not miss any place that may be a connection point. This is not a place they are familiar with, and it is very troublesome to find it by themselves, so the guide must take them there.
"No, sir, you really can't go there, it's too dangerous!"
Although the guide was shocked by Brooke's voice, he was still afraid of that area. He gritted his teeth and trembled as he spoke, with prayer in his eyes.
"Don't worry, we guarantee your safety!"
Gu Zheng sighed slightly. They did not reveal their identities in order to avoid unnecessary trouble. If the people here know that they are cultivators or very powerful cultivators, then the news will definitely spread to the local rulers.
Unless they kill everyone who knows about it.
Neither he nor Brooke are murderous people.
If their identities are exposed, the ruler will definitely come to recruit them, especially Brooke, who is a Golden Immortal, and the Cassirer family only has one Golden Immortal. Even if the Cassirer family cannot recruit them, there are other larger ones.
The family will also come to recruit, and they will be the ones in trouble then.
If you refuse, they will definitely not give up. This is hell, and the Demon God Clan rules everything. If you agree, it is impossible. They don't want to stay here, but want to go back.
Neither Brooke nor Gu Zheng want to stay here.
Therefore, they have always hidden their identity as cultivators and did not let others know. It is the same here. They will not expose it if they can. However, if they really encounter a monster and have to expose it, there is no other way.
"Sir, it's true, it's too dangerous there, just let me go!"
The guide almost begged. He really didn't dare to go to that place. Gu Zheng quietly used a calming technique, and the guide's mood immediately became much calmer.
"Your reward is doubled, and we guarantee your safety!"
This time it was Brooke who said that Gu Zheng had already promised before, and now Brooke promised again, and the two strong men guaranteed that as long as they did not encounter a particularly powerful monster, the guide would never have any problems.
Are there particularly powerful monsters? There will definitely be, but they will definitely not be in these fringe areas. Even monsters with the strength of a golden fairy will basically not exist in the fringe areas. They all have their own territory, and they also have extremely high
Wisdom will not easily meet the Demon God Clan.
Most of the monsters inside have not yet reached the realm of immortal cultivators, or have just reached the realm of immortal cultivators. Such monsters pose no threat to Brooke, let alone to Gu Zheng. Kill them one by one.
Come two and kill a pair.
"Why should I take your job? I will be killed by you this time!"
Seeing that both Gu Zheng and Brooke were resolute, the guide looked sad and complained that it seemed that he had to go to that place this time, and he had to go even if he didn't.
This time the guide didn't walk so fast, he always walked slowly, and Brooke didn't rush him, as long as he was willing to lead the way.
It took them seven or eight hours to reach the designated area. After arriving here, the guide walked more carefully, almost stopping after taking a few steps, and jumping up at the slightest movement, holding a hand in his hand.
He held the machete tightly.
"Hoofflower grass!"
Not long after walking, the guide suddenly froze and screamed. This time he was not careful and ran quickly towards a grass. Gu Zheng secretly shook his head.
He didn't know the name of the hoof grass, but he had just discovered the existence of this grass. This grass was of medium grade. He originally planned to pick it secretly after going there, but he didn't expect to be discovered by the guide.
"It's really a hoofflower. This is a treasure worth five thousand gold coins!"
The guide looked at the hoofflower grass, his eyes gleaming. The currency of hell is somewhat similar to that of ancient Europe on earth. Gold coins are used here. For ordinary people, two or three gold coins a month are enough to survive. Brooke hired him this time.
I was given twenty gold coins, but even if I doubled it, it would only be forty.
Five thousand gold coins is enough for an ordinary family to live for a lifetime.
The lifespan of the human race in hell is similar to that on earth, because there are cultivators here and the medical conditions are not bad. If the conditions are good, there is no problem in living to more than a hundred years old.
But the same cannot be said for poor people. Sixty or seventy years old is considered a long life.
In any case, five thousand gold coins is a huge amount of wealth for a guide. Just like in China, an ordinary person's monthly income of three thousand is only more than thirty thousand a year, which can only support a family of three.
For such people, six to seven million is definitely a huge fortune, a fortune that makes them extremely excited.
"My lord, you are so lucky!"
After getting excited, the guide realized that he was just a guide, not a treasure hunter. He had already received a commission, and anything found in the mountains belonged to the person who hired him, not to him.
Of course, if he has evil intentions and kills three people, he can also take away the hoofflower grass. However, after killing people, he will leave behind the resentment of the people he killed. This resentment cannot be seen by ordinary people, but the demon god
Your Excellency can see that once the Demon Lord discovers that he has killed someone, he will be severely punished if he cannot explain the reason.
Because there was a terrible punishment, and there were three people, and he was the only one, there was no malice in the guide's heart, only deep envy.
"Take us to all the places we want to go this time, and I'll give you this hoof grass!"
Gu Zheng suddenly said, a mid-level raw material is good, but there are many such things in Gu Zheng, and there is no shortage of this one.
This is not like when he first started practicing, let alone being average, even an ordinary raw material made him very excited.
"You, are you serious?"
The guide was startled, and then asked excitedly. Although he was asking about Gu Zheng, it was Brooke he was looking at.
In his opinion, among the three of them, Brooke is the leader, especially the older one, who respects Brooke very much and is obviously a servant, while Gu Zheng is classified as a junior by him.
"It's true. If you do this job well, this hoof grass will be yours!"
Brooke smiled and nodded. He didn't even need the Hoof Flower Grass. Even though it was indeed useful for cultivation, there were many such things in the demon world, including those in his space artifact, so he didn't need this one at all.
"Thank you, thank you!"
After getting Brooke's approval, the guide shouted loudly that this adventure was not in vain. Although it was very dangerous here, it was all worth it if we could get this hoofgrass.
With this hoof grass, their family can move into Leer City, buy a small shop, start a small business, and no longer have to live such a dangerous life as a guide on the mountainside.
It's worth taking a risk to get a stable life forever. The guide here finally realized the mood of a desperate treasure hunter. As long as he gets a good thing, he can completely change the fate of the family. In this way
The appeal is really great.
The guide carefully picked the hoofflowers, looked at Brooke and the others again, and saw that they really didn't respond, so he put them away.
If this hoof grass was handed over to the city, it would immediately be exchanged for wealth enough for his family to live without worries. He kept it close to his body and then continued to move forward with the three of them.
This time, he didn't resist so much. He sought wealth through risk. It was worth taking some risks for wealth.
"Not here either!"
We arrived at the place, but soon Brooke sighed again. The place we went to this time was also not a connection point. None of these similar places was.
However, Brooke is not discouraged. The connection point itself is not that easy to find. He found the connection point before, but it took him decades to find it. He was lucky. Bad luck, hundreds of years, thousands of years.
You won't be able to find one for years, or even tens of thousands of years.
"The next one is here..."
Brooke continued, but before he finished speaking, the guide's face turned pale and he shook his head in horror.
"Sir, no, no, you absolutely can't go here, you absolutely can't go here, this is a dangerous area, many people have been there before and never come out again!"
"We must go, this is the last place, if not, we will go back!"
Brooke shook his head. This is the last suspected connection point in Alishan. If it doesn't work here, then you can only look for it elsewhere, at least it won't be here anymore.
"Sir, please, please, can we not go?"
The guide begged for mercy there. He had just obtained the hoofflower grass and there would be a better life waiting for him in the future. He was really unwilling to take risks.
"Remember, what I just told you is that we will give you the hoofflower grass if you take us to all places. If we don't go to this place, you won't get the hoofflower grass!"
Brooke said something again, and the guide was stunned for a moment. Brooke was right, that was exactly what he said just now. Only if he took them to all the places they wanted to go today, would the hoofflower grass be given to him.
The guide hesitated. If there were no hoof grass, he would not go to that place even if he was killed. But there was already a hoof grass. If he didn't go, the hoof grass would not belong to him, and the wealth he had obtained would disappear.
Forget it if you don’t have it, you’ve already got it, and he can’t accept losing it.
It is not just him, but many people are like this. Therefore, it is said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. This is true for cultivators, and even more so for ordinary people.
"Okay, but you have to leave quickly after passing by, this is the last place!"
After a full ten minutes, the guide gritted his teeth and said, there was no other way, he couldn't give up the hoofflowers he had already obtained, so he could only follow their arrangements and take them to this place.
The place they wanted to go was not far from where they were, normally it would take more than two hours to get there, but the guide walked very slowly, and it took more than four hours to get there.
After arriving at the place and seeing that there was no danger, the guide let out a long sigh of relief.
Brooke went to check if this was a connection point, while Gu Zheng turned back and looked deep into the forest, his eyebrows twitching slightly.
"Not here either!"
Not long after, Brooke said something that made Gu Zheng very disappointed. This was not a connection point, which meant that the search for the connection point had failed this time. He had to change the city again and continue to inquire.
The only place where there is a possible connection point near Lyell City is here. If there is not one here, you have to go somewhere else.
"let's go!"
The guide said nervously, while Brooke and Gu Zheng shook their heads at the same time.
Brooke, like Gu Zheng, both looked at the same place. Seeing that they were both staring in the same direction, the guide also looked over. Not long after, the guide trembled violently and sat down on the ground.
In the darkness, two red eyes as big as lanterns appeared in the distance. The guide, who had heard about them countless times, recognized them at a glance. They were the eyes of monsters. Only monsters had such eyes.
They encountered a monster. They encountered a monster. With such big eyes, the monster must not be small. This time it was tragic. They were all going to die here. The guide's heart was filled with regret.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have wanted the hoof grass. He couldn't have come here even if he didn't have the hoof grass. Now, he has the hoof grass, but he has no life to go back to exchange for wealth, and he will never be able to return to his home.
The red lantern in the distance moved towards them quickly. Whether it was Gu Zheng, Brooke, or even the housekeeper, they all concealed their auras, otherwise even if it was a monster without intelligence, they would not dare to approach them.
Monsters without intelligence always have instincts and know that danger will not come near.
"It's all you, it's all you, we are all going to die here this time, woo woo woo!"
The guide started crying there, crying very sadly. He didn't think about running. If he encountered a monster in the mountains, it would be impossible to outrun the monster. This is not what anyone said, but what many lives have concluded.
experience.
It's not that there are no exceptions, but there are very few exceptions, and the exceptions also have special conditions, such as falling off a cliff and losing your life, jumping into a river and being washed away, etc.
There were neither cliffs nor rivers here, and they had no way of escaping. They could only wait for death.
Soon, the monster appeared in front of them. It was a big leopard more than three meters tall, but it had two heads. It could be seen that it was a monster without intelligence, but it was not weak in strength.
The strength is roughly equivalent to the fifth level of internal strength.
With the fifth level of inner strength, ordinary people will never be able to resist it.
It's a pity that Gu Zheng and Brooke are not ordinary people. In their eyes, the fifth level of internal energy is too weak to pose any threat to them.
"roll!"
Gu Zheng suddenly transmitted a message, directly reaching the ears of the monster. The two-headed leopard, which was originally ferocious and was staring at them fiercely, suddenly froze there. Its two heads and four eyes were round and staring blankly.
prey in front of you.
Although it has no intelligence, it can still feel the infinite pressure from the voice just now. The cute little food suddenly turned into a powerful existence that it could not resist. The sudden change was a bit unacceptable for it.
"roll!"
Gu Zheng transmitted the message for the second time. This time, the two-headed leopard did not dare to stay there anymore. He turned around and fled quickly with his tail between his legs, fearing that the powerful being would chop off its head if it was too late.
The two-headed leopard ran extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had completely disappeared.
