Lin Zichen's soul followed Elder Qi all the way out of the mountain. This route was not unfamiliar to him, because he had just walked it once today, and it was exactly the same as the road Amu took.
Only this time, Elder Qi did not stop at the creek, but walked into the woods.
Then, he leaned against the tree and took out a pack of cigarettes, took out one and lit it, then puffed out a smoke ring with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Coming?" Elder Qi asked.
"Here we come," a figure flashed out from behind a thick tree, "Elder Qi, you are very trustworthy."
It was very dark in the woods, and the figure was standing in the shadow. Lin Zichen could not see his appearance at all. Even so, Lin Zichen could still conclude from the voice that this man was the one who shot Amu to death!
Huh, Elder Qi actually met with him in private. Obviously, Elder Qi was also involved in what happened during the day. He deliberately sent Amu to the creek to meet this man, and then killed Amu!
Elder Qi sneered: "Stop talking about this, there are nine beast souls in total. Remember to give me the money."
"That's natural. Haha, Elder Qi, we are all members of the Shan tribe. Do we not trust each other?"
"Humph, that was once upon a time. Now you are the West Mountain Division and I am the elder of the East Mountain Division. I still need to see Qian before I decide to trust you!" Elder Qi said with his hands behind his back.
"Don't worry, I promised you a lot of money. Now that the Red Fire Group has developed a new hunting formation, the purchase price is getting lower and lower. Only by selling to the Jinfeng Group can we make a fortune. Elder Qi, you want to
Hunting more will definitely not be enough." The man said.
"Hunt more? Haha, you people in the Western Mountains only care about money. If all the strange beasts in Dayue Mountain are wiped out, what will our descendants eat?" Elder Qi said.
"Haha, Elder Qi is really an ambassador for protecting the environment, but don't forget that now that you have betrayed the Dongshan Department and made private deals with us, do you dare to say that you are not doing it for money? Huh, since you are a concubine, why bother setting up an archway?"
"You...you actually spoke to me like this? I love money, but I also have principles. Half of Dayue Mountain was chopped down by you and half of the mountain was bare, and the beasts were hunted clean. Now I have the idea of animal souls, is it?
Don’t you want to kill them all?” Elder Qi said.
This is also the thinking of Higashiyama. Although hunting can bring great economic benefits to the mountains, if hunting is excessive, these people who depend on the mountains will undoubtedly lose their dependence on survival in the future.
The man sneered: "Elder Qi, I don't want to listen to these big principles you are talking about. In short, if there are not thirty beast souls next month, you can just wait for me to report your matter to the Dongshan Department and attack the Mountain Department privately.
The beast soul contacted the outside world to kill his own clan member Amu, haha, I don’t know how the clan leaders Gahan and Grandpa will react when they hear this."
"You actually threatened me? Believe it or not, I will kill you right now!" Elder Qi said.
The man shook his head and smiled: "Haha, Elder Qi, since I dare to come, I am not afraid of being killed by you, but if I die, your scandal will be spread tonight, and do you think you are the only warrior in Shanbu? We
They are also available in Xishan Department. If you want to try it, we will accompany you!"
"You..." Elder Qi pointed at the man, "He Yu, if I had known you were like this, I would never cooperate with you!"
"Really? But it's too late. By the way, Elder Qi, remember what our Salmon leader told you. He has been in love with Lingya for a long time!" The man named He Yu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lin Zichen couldn't help but widen his eyes. They actually had the idea of Lingya? It has to be said that although Lingya is strong, she is really a beauty. This Xishan tribe is really ambitious.
Yueshan squeezed out all his profits and even took advantage of the patriarch's daughter.
"Lingya..." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Elder Qi's face. After all, as an elder, he had watched Lingya grow up, so Xishanbu's request must have troubled him.
"Okay, Elder Qi, I'll leave this matter to you. Bring Lingya to see our clan leader within three days, and remember the number of beast souls!"
After saying that, He Yu laughed loudly, turned around and walked towards the depths of the woods. Elder Qi stood there, seeming to regret in every possible way, but it had no effect. For him, the handle was in someone else's hands.
You can only choose to obey.
Lin Zichen sighed secretly, it was all caused by greed. It was obvious that Elder Qi still believed in Grandpa's theory. Unfortunately, he fell in front of greed, and there was no possibility of looking back!
Afterwards, Elder Qi walked back to the mountain, and Lin Zichen immediately collected his soul and opened his eyes, unable to calm down for a long time.
Now it seems that things are clear. The mountain tribe is divided into east and west. The east side is the traditional mountain tribe with Gahan as the leader. The west mountain tribe is mostly composed of young aspiring people who have gone out to study. It seems to use advanced management.
Means, but the essence is insatiable, and in order to make money, he even completely ignores the ecological balance of Otsuki Mountain.
In this confrontation, Elder Qi was undoubtedly on the side of profit. Not only did he betray Shanbe and sell the beast soul to Xishanbe, but he also directly killed Amu. Of course, he may betray Lingya at any time now.
Lin Zichen stayed up all night until early morning, almost in deep contemplation. It wasn't until the phone rang that he came back to his senses.
Seeing Lan Luoshi's point, Lin Zichen sighed, feeling inexplicably at ease in his heart.
"Luo Shi, morning."
"Zi Chen, where are you? I've been out for two days. I'm worried about you." Lan Luoshi's voice was still gentle, and hearing it in Lin Zichen's ears, a sense of satisfaction arose spontaneously.
"Haha, Mr. Lan is not so busy that he feels dizzy. Shiyin is now the leading pharmaceutical company in Fengbei. How about counting the money until his hands cramp up?" Lin Zichen said with a smile.
Lan Luoshi chuckled: "Guess what? Zichen, our goal has been achieved. Hehe, when the time comes, my dad will be so surprised that he will cry. Just thinking about it makes me want to laugh. By the way, Zichen, Sang Tianlei
They came to Fengbei, and they brought a girl with them, who they said was your disciple. Isn’t it the female disciple you mentioned?”
"Tian Lei and Wei'er are here? Where are they now?" Lin Zichen asked.
"Hmph, are you concerned about Sang Tianlei, or... where about Wei'er?" Lan Luoshi said coquettishly.
"Haha, one is my buddy and the other is my disciple. Of course they both care, but... the one who cares most is definitely Luo Shi!"
"De Xing, don't worry. I must have made arrangements for your friends. Now they are staying in the hotel where we are staying. During the day, I let Xiaoya take them to go shopping around during the day. I will arrange for them to eat delicious food in the evening.
When will you come back?"
"I encountered some things in Dayue Mountain, but don't worry, it's not a big deal. I'll go back after handling it. You can ask Tianlei and the others to wait for me in Fengbei, and we'll get together then." Lin Zichen said.
"Tch, we get together every day, and you're the only one missing. Anyway... you be careful in the mountains, and if anything happens, call me, do you hear me?"
Faced with Lan Luoshi's concern, Lin Zichen smiled happily: "Now that I know my Mr. Lan, it's very touching that you care so much about the little follower."
"I hate it, you are a follower, but you are also... my boyfriend!"
Although he couldn't see it, Lin Zichen could still feel Lan Luoshi's blushing face on the other side of the phone. He smiled: "Luo Shi, don't worry about me. I promise to go back soon."
"Okay, I got it, I'm going to have a meeting and I'll call you back!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zichen smiled. The mood that was originally shrouded in dark clouds seemed to be much better. Huo Qing looked at Lin Zichen with a smile on his face and said: "Master, what's wrong with you? Are you so happy that my wife agreed to marry you?"
"
"It's best to stop speculating before you are kicked out of the school."
"Forehead……"
As the two of them were talking, a knock on the door came. Just by hearing the rapid rhythm, they knew that Ling Ya was here...
Huo Qing opened the door and said, "Sister, can't we be more polite when knocking on the door?"
Lingya rolled her eyes at him: "Am I very old? Call me Miss!"
"Ah?" Huo Qing was stunned, then looked at Lin Zichen, and both of them couldn't help laughing.
After all, Lingya was from Shanbei and had little contact with the outside world. Naturally, she didn't understand the specific title of miss, so she was really simple.
"Miss Lingya, do you have anything to do with us?" Lin Zichen asked.
"Nonsense, I'm too lazy to come in if you have nothing to do," Lingya said, giving Huo Qing a hard look, as if she still held grudges about what happened yesterday, "Elder Qi will take everyone to hunt in a while. It was my father who asked me to tell you.
Yes, you decide whether to go or not."
"Go, of course!" Lin Zichen agreed. In fact, he was waiting for the hunt yesterday, but he didn't wait for the hunt, but he saw two good shows. It would be good to go today.
Lingya shrugged and chuckled: "Haha, it's up to you, but..." After saying that, Lingya looked at Huo Qing, "You'd better protect him. If a strange beast in the mountains appears, he will die ten times.
not much."
Huo Qing looked at Lin Zichen with an embarrassed look, should I protect him? I deserve it too...
Lin Zichen smiled: "We have Miss Lao Lingya, when should we set off?"
"I was about to leave just now, but grandpa called Elder Qi. Just wait a while, it should be soon!" After saying that, Lingya turned around and walked out.
Lin Zichen and Huo Qing winked. The two simply cleaned up and walked out of the house, waiting for Elder Qi and others in the mountain.
Soon, Grandpa and Elder Qi walked out of the house. Elder Qi said: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will protect them."
There was a hint of worry on Grandpa's face and he nodded: "Okay, Elder Qi, this Divine Lock Formation can hunt three to four strange beasts at the same time. It is unmatched by the Earth Immortal Formation. Remember to use the Divine Lock Formation today."
.”
Elder Qi cupped his fists and said, "Grandpa, I remember."
After saying that, Elder Qi walked to the middle of the mountain. Standing in front of him were three young men, including Lingya and Dalong. Of course, Lin Zichen and Huo Qing also walked over.
However, Grandpa's words made Lin Zichen think deeply again. The formations in Shanbei were obviously researched and created by Grandpa. Who is Grandpa? Today Grandpa seems to have deliberately emphasized that Elder Qi should use the Divine Lock Formation. Is there something behind this?
