The old wizard looked at the island that Xiao Yunlong pointed at, he frowned and said: "Even in summer, the warrior hunters in my village rarely take a boat to such a distant island. Let alone it is winter now, the coastline
It’s all frozen, and there are even large ice floes on the sea surface of the strait. It’s very difficult to go to this island in this season.”
"Mr. Wu, I know this will be difficult. But it depends on people. I hope the warriors in your village can help us." Xiao Yunlong said, "I brought liquor, food and fuel. These are all for you."
The necessary winter supplies. Not only that, the eight vehicles we drove over can also be given to you. With these vehicles, the men of your tribe can drive to larger towns outside to exchange supplies. This way in winter
, the warriors of your tribe do not need to brave the cold and danger to go hunting. Maybe you are lucky enough to catch prey, but if you are not lucky, the elderly, children, and women in your village will starve."
The old wizard's face changed after hearing this. Even in today's modern and civilized world, the only means of transportation that the Inuit people of this tribe can rely on in winter is sleds. And sleds cannot travel far at all, and cannot go to bigger places outside.
Supplies are traded in the towns. Therefore, every winter is a cruel test for this village.
Every winter, people die in the village. Some of them die in accidents when men in the village go hunting, but most of them are due to hunger.
The old wizard took a deep breath and said slowly: "Guest from afar, the terms you have given me are indeed very exciting. But this trip is too dangerous because it is winter. There will be ice floes on the sea.
If the ice hits, the wooden boat in my village will be damaged. The cold seawater will pour into the hull. Once this happens, everyone on the boat will fall to the sea, and the result will be death. This is too dangerous and it is difficult for me to make a decision.
.”
"There is a saying in my country that wealth can be gained through danger. If you don't go through danger, how can you get a good harvest?" Xiao Yunlong, he continued, "Besides, the men in your village also take some risks when they go hunting. Maybe this
A trip to the Parry Islands is more dangerous. However, you have lived here for thousands of years and are extremely familiar with this sea area. I believe that relying on the experience accumulated by your ancestors, it is not difficult to cross the Victoria Strait."
The blood hunter on the side did not speak. He squinted his eyes slightly, and there was a hint of murderous intent flashing deep in his eyes.
He had even made a decision in his mind. If the old wizard did not agree to their conditions, then he would use force to solve the problem. He didn't understand why Xiao Yunlong had to waste so much time and directly send out his soldiers to hold the
If these Inuit people don't obey the threat of weapons, then kill a few people and that will solve the problem?
However, Xiao Yunlong's ideas are different from those of Blood Hunt.
"How many of you are there in total?" the old wizard asked.
"34 people." Xiao Yunlong replied.
The old wizard was silent for a while, and then he said: "I need to discuss it with the warriors in the village before I can answer your question."
"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news from Elder Wu." Xiao Yunlong nodded.
Xiao Yunlong and others exited the wooden house and walked towards the car parked in front of the village.
Woo woo woo...
Soon, a deep horn sound suddenly sounded in this village of about thirty households. The horn sound sounded, and the doorways of the wooden houses opened, and each short and sturdy Inuit man walked towards the old wizard's wooden house.
Go.
Snapped!
Xiao Yunlong lit a cigarette. In this freezing weather, smoking a cigarette was also a very unique enjoyment.
Xiao Yunlong seems to be somewhat accustomed to this kind of severe cold weather. When he was in Siberia, the temperature was minus 30 or 40 degrees Celsius in winter, so he got used to it over time.
"Demon King, why bother talking to these natives? Kill a few of them and they will be obedient." The blood hunter said coldly.
Xiao Yunlong looked at Blood Hunter and said: "Sometimes, killing does not solve the problem. You don't know the Inuit people. They are bold and simple in nature, but they are bold and fearless when facing the enemy. This kind of temperament is
They have been trained by living in such a harsh environment for a long time and constantly fighting ferocious beasts. Maybe the weapons in our hands can make them surrender, but it is only on the surface. Have you ever thought about, once we board the ship, these Inyu
The special man was so cruel that he cut open the bottom of the boat and let the cold water pour in. Once he fell into the water, he would definitely die."
The blood hunter's face was startled after hearing this, and his face looked a little ugly.
"So, let's wait for the results. I believe they will agree. Now there is an opportunity to develop and expand their tribe, and they will not give up." Xiao Yunlong said.
"Devil"
At this time, Olivia, who was sitting in the car, called Xiao Yunlong.
Xiao Yunlong walked towards the car, looked at Olivia, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I have just intercepted the signal from the Hunter Guild's information hub stronghold. I have not cracked this signal yet. Once cracked, I will know the specific location of this stronghold. But if it is cracked, it will attract the attention of the Hunter Guild's personnel, making them vigilant and
Be careful." Olivia said.
"Then don't decipher it yet. Wait until you log into the Parry Islands before deciphering this signal." Xiao Yunlong said.
"Okay!" Olivia nodded.
At this time, the door of the old wizard's wooden house opened, and an Inuit came over and motioned for Xiao Yunlong and the others to go over.
Xiao Yunlong, Xue Hunter and others walked forward and entered the old wizard's wooden house.
There were strong Inuit men sitting cross-legged in the wooden house, about twenty or thirty of them.
The old wizard looked at Xiao Yunlong and said: "Guests from afar, after discussions between me and the village warriors, they have decided to agree to help you go to the Parry Islands. The condition is that you need to promise the supplies you have given before."
"Haha, this is not a problem. Now I will send people to move these supplies." Xiao Yunlong smiled and said to the blood hunter, "Also order your people to bring the spirits, food, and leather jackets we brought.
Wait for the supplies to arrive. Each of us just needs to bring enough food."
Xue Hunter nodded and walked out with Xiao Yunlong.
Soon, the Demon King brothers and hunters got out of the car one by one and brought fifteen boxes of spirits, as well as a large amount of dried meat, dried fruits, grain and other supplies from the trunk of the car. In addition, Xiao Yunlong also brought over
A box was opened and there were thirty gold bars inside.
When the Inuit people in the field saw the gold, their eyes widened. No matter where they are, gold will always be the universal currency. The Inuit people also like gold. They think gold is noble and sacred.
are their favorite accessories and possessions.
"Ha ha"
Some Inuit men were laughing and talking nonstop, and their faces looked extremely excited.
While the Inuit people were organizing and distributing the supplies, Xiao Yunlong and Xue Hunter walked toward the car. Xiao Yunlong said to Xue Hunter: "Instruct your men to pack up the weapons in the wooden boxes and disassemble them."
Put it in the marching bag. It is best not to let people in this village see our weapons."
Blood Hunter nodded and walked towards the four vehicles of their hunting alliance.
Xiao Yunlong also asked his Demon King brothers to pack their marching bags. They selected their own weapons, and those that could be disassembled and reassembled were put in the marching bags. As for some large and heavy machine guns, they could only be covered with thick leather jackets.
, carried in hand.
Xiao Yunlong handed the two pistols to Olivia and said, "Hold them for self-defense."
Olivia nodded and took the gun from Xiao Yunlong's hand.
After everything was ready, Xiao Yunlong, Xue Xie and the others got out of the car, and the eight Range Rovers were left in the village tribe.
At this time, twenty-five strong warriors came out of this village under the leadership of the old wizard. They led Xiao Yunlong and the others forward in the wind and snow.
The weather was freezing, so Xiao Yunlong was not worried about the Demon King brothers. The Demon King brothers around him could cope with all kinds of bad weather. He was more worried about Olivia.
Xiao Yunlong and the others were wearing thick fur coats, parkas, and goggles. Olivia was the same. But she was still shivering a little from the cold.
After seeing this, Xiao Yunlong walked over, reached out and took her arm, and led her walking in the snow.
After walking for more than half an hour, we finally saw the coastline, and the water on the coastline was frozen and you could walk on it. Continuing forward, you saw a two-story medium-to-large wooden boat docked on the ice. The boats on both sides of the wooden boat
There are seven or eight large wooden stakes on the body to support the hull, allowing the hull to stand on the ice.
The old wizard said to Xiao Yunlong: "Guests from afar, after the wooden piles supporting this wooden boat are removed, we need your help to push this wooden boat into the sea."
"No problem!" Xiao Yunlong said.
Immediately, the Demon King brothers and the hunters from the Hunting Alliance worked together to push the wooden boat with the twenty-five Inuit men. The ice surface was smooth, so everyone worked together to push the wooden boat on the ice.
, heading towards the unfrozen sea ahead.
"thump"
Soon, the bow of the wooden boat began to be launched into the water. When two-thirds of the hull entered the sea water, the old wizard shouted to stop.
"Guests from afar, you can board the ship first," the old wizard said.
Xiao Yunlong and the Blood Hunters began to board the ship one by one. All of them boarded the ship, and these Inuit people also boarded the ship. Twenty-five Inuit people walked down from the bottom of the cabin, and then paddled wooden oars one by one.
Protruding from the slots on both sides of the hull, the Inuit in front of the bow rowed the oars vigorously, driving the ship slowly forward.
finally
With a crash, the entire wooden boat entered the sea.
Then, these Inuit people began to raise the sails, and the huge sails were raised, which could be rowed with the help of the howling and fierce north wind.
Only then did Xiao Yunlong realize that the power the two-story wooden boat relied on did not come from fuel, but from artificial power. It relied on the Inuit people to paddle the boat to move forward. This was indeed very physically demanding.
"In winter, there are a lot of ice floes on the sea surface. Unless they are icebreakers and large ships, other fuel ships dare not launch. Otherwise, they will not be able to escape when they encounter ice floes. When paddle boats encounter ice floes, they can use
Use oars to push the ice floes away, as long as the ice floes are not very large, then you don’t have to worry.”
The old wizard explained to Xiao Yunlong.
"That's it." Xiao Yunlong nodded.
The sails swelled as the wind blew from the north, and the wooden boat moved forward with the help of the wind and the vigorous oars of the Inuit people.
