"Are these scales used indefinitely?" Gao Peng asked tentatively.
"Of course not. The reason why the scales can repel monsters is because the scales have the smell of the Red Carp King. As the scales are used for a long time, the smell will naturally fade away." The old man said matter-of-factly. "There are not many monsters needed for sacrifice. One piece can be used for a year."
Gao Peng nodded, this red carp king's IQ is not low, he already knows how to shear wool.
And you don’t have to work so hard to hunt for food every day, humans will naturally come to feed it.
It just takes some effort to shed the unwanted scales.
Gao Peng can probably understand why the alliance government does not publicly broadcast this kind of news.
It's really not glorious.
The safety of citizens under the alliance government cannot be protected by the alliance, and it has actually been reduced to the point of sacrificing monsters.
But if you want to maintain the security of a base city, you need at least a lord-level beast or monster to do it.
As a human being, Gao Peng couldn't help but remain silent.
Yuzhou and Chang'an where he was previously were guarded by top human envoys, so he didn't have to worry about the invasion of monsters in the surrounding forests.
But the same cannot be said for these small base cities.
"Boss, we're here." The boatman slowly docked the boat on the shore. The river on the shore was ebbing and flowing. In the turbid river water, a big blue tortoise was lying on the shallow beach.
It wasn't afraid when it saw the boat. Instead, it sniffed it interestingly, and then seemed to smell something terrible. The two small mung bean eyes narrowed, the bastard's head shrank in fear, and he turned over and dived into the depths of the river.
"Are you familiar with this place?" Gao Peng asked Ah-Dai. If it really lived here before, it should be familiar with the surrounding environment.
Dumb stooped out of the cabin and stepped on the deck with a crisp thud.
Dui looked around, then jumped up from the deck and landed on the shore.
Stepping on the soft soil, the silver-white toe bones sank deeply into the soil.
He squatted down, holding the soil in his hands, and the wet soil slowly flowed out from his fingers.
The soul flames in Ah-Dai's eyes were swaying, and it seemed as if he had returned to a year ago, on this familiar shore, where a group of red water monkeys were playing and fighting.
A large net fell from the sky, and its sharp hooks caught its fur.
The strongest one has become the best prey in the eyes of hunters and is bound to win.
It roared angrily and alerted other tribesmen to leave the river and flee deep into the jungle.
It saw with its own eyes that its three-month-old daughter was taken away by her mother and hid in the jungle. It didn't know if the daughter still remembered it.
Dui stood up slowly and pulled out his thick foot bones from the soil. Every step he took out brought up a large amount of sand and mud.
Step by step, Ah-Dai walked firmly into the depths of the jungle.
Gao Peng paid the boatman the money, then agreed on a time to pick him up next time, and then took the remaining beasts ashore from here.
After walking for about ten minutes, Ah-Dai stopped under a thick tree.
This is a thick forest with thick trunks, as if a knotted python emerged from the depths of the earth and snaked all over the sky. The dense leaves blocked the sunlight, causing the light in the forest to be somewhat dim.
There were some familiar traces on the branches. Ah-Dai climbed up the tree and gently rubbed the remnants on the branches with his fingertips.
Dui was a little anxious and jumped down from the branch uneasily.
"It's okay, maybe they just migrated." Gao Peng comforted Ah-Dai.
"Look carefully and see if you can find any traces left behind by them?"
Dumb nodded. The last trace left here was probably a few months ago. In this forest, it takes a few months to wash away the remaining traces.
But Dui is a red water ape after all. As a former red water ape, he naturally understands the habits of red water apes very well.
After being comforted by his master, Ah-Dai was no longer discouraged and cheered up to continue searching for clues left by his fellow humans.
Although the red water ape group left their original station, they still lived in the Hongsha River Basin. Dumb was sure of this, because only this area had familiar food and a familiar environment.
On the way, they found a group of red water monkeys. Dumb looked at it carefully for half an hour, and finally left with regret. It was not the group it belonged to, because there was no familiar face.
Unless the tribe is wiped out, there will always be a few familiar faces no matter how wandering.
Dui was walking tirelessly in the forest, and the faint cry of the red water ape could be heard in front of him.
Dui cheered up and walked over quickly.
It was a not too high cliff. The cliff was only about forty meters high. There was a large area of dense trees growing under the cliff.
Large vines hang down from the cliff.
Some red water monkeys were playing and playing on the branches.
Ah-Dai was suddenly stunned and stared blankly at the group of red water apes.
Gao Peng had never seen Ah-Dai so excited.
The blood-threaded heart in his chest was beating wildly, constantly swelling and contracting. The blood-threaded blood in the gaps in the skeleton was tightening, tightly wrapping around the bones.
Gao Peng wondered if Ah-Dai would suddenly fall apart with excitement.
"Why don't you go over and get to know them?"
Dui was a little moved, but then looked down at his skeleton and remained silent.
"Go and have a look. After all, it's your tribe. Didn't you say that you were once the king of this tribe?" Gao Peng encouraged Ah-Dai.
Ah-Dai waved his hands hurriedly, "I won't go! I won't go!"
Its voice was very panicked, and no matter how much Gao Peng tried to persuade it, it was useless. There were faint crystal blue light spots flowing deep in its eyes, as if it was crying.
This was the first time Gao Peng saw Ah-Dai cry.
I didn’t expect that skeletons would shed tears.
Ah-Dai grabbed the bark of the tree with both hands and hid behind the big tree. He carefully stuck out his head and quietly looked at the little female ape in the group of apes.
Dui was so crazy watching it,
As long as she's happy, that's fine.
Your father is useless. He was taken away when you were three months old and cannot protect you from wind and rain.
But... Dad has always loved you.
There is no flesh on Dumb's face, so he can no longer smile.
He opened his mouth and stared blankly into the distance, looking like a fool.
Gao Peng didn't disturb Ah-Dai, and just let Ah-Dai enjoy the beauty alone.
In the end, Ah-Dai reluctantly let go of his hand, hunched over, and carefully hid behind the tree so as not to be discovered.
"Are we going back now?" Gao Peng was stunned.
Dumb nodded hard.
"Won't you bring your daughter? Don't worry, I will give her the best life." Gao Peng promised Ah-Dai.
Dui was a little moved, but in the end he shook his head fiercely, "With me, she is not free. Here, she is free."
Gao Peng's heart suddenly shook.
Suddenly I don't know what to say.
Duan put his big hand gently on Gao Peng's shoulder and looked at his master seriously: "But master, I... I am very happy!"
After confirming that his daughter was okay, Ah-Dai was very satisfied.
Turn around and leave with Gao Peng and the others.
Ah Ban's mood was also affected, and he felt a little gloomy, as if he had thought of something.
"boom!"
Suddenly gunfire rang out from behind.
The sound of gunfire echoed in the forest,
Accompanied by the screams of the red water ape group.
Dui, who had been hanging his head, suddenly froze...
