Bounty hunters are a legendary type of people who possess mysterious abilities and hover on the verge of life and death in pursuit of their prey. Any evil species in the world is their target, including vampires and orcs, or zombies and ferocious beasts.
Killing.
It is their basic means of making a living. Only by killing prey can they sell it on the black market and get what they want. The only rule for bounty hunters is not to kill ordinary people.
"Master, what should we do now?"
A slender middle-aged woman wearing black sunglasses asked in a low voice.
The old man snorted coldly: "I have fought against Chinese superpowers before, and they are all a group of weaklings with very low strength. If they don't provoke us and let us grab the prey and leave, then we won't bother to pay attention to them. But if If they get in the way, they will be killed without mercy."
The middle-aged woman whispered: "Master, this is China after all. If we kill their people rashly, I am afraid it will cause a lot of trouble. Even if the lion is strong, it cannot withstand the bite of a pack of wolves."
The old man pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. But my injury has not healed yet. If I continue to chase the two half-corpses, it will affect my healing. Let's go and find the people who are watching us nearby. I want to meet their leaders.”
The middle-aged woman agreed and was about to leave the cabin of the fishing boat. Suddenly, the old man's expression moved and he floated out first and appeared on the deck of the fishing boat.
"They're coming."
There was a solemn look in the old man's eyes. He thinks he is very powerful, but that is also against some weak members of the China Superpower Bureau. As for the powerful Duan Mulin, the director of the China Superpower Bureau, he cannot guarantee victory at all. What's more, his injuries haven't healed yet.
Half a minute later.
Duan Mulin came to the shore with more than a dozen experts from the supernatural power bureau. Tang Xiu stood beside Duan Mulin, sizing up the old man with his hands behind his back. On the way here, he had already learned from Duanmu Lin the true identities of these three people: bounty hunters.
"Old Zhong, we meet again."
Duanmulin said with a faint smile on his face.
The old man frowned and said: "Duanmulin, I didn't expect that you are not dead yet after I haven't seen you for more than ten years. Are you surrounded by people from your Chinese Superpower Bureau? They all look crooked, and they don't have much ability!"
Duanmulin said with a smile: "You haven't died yet, how can I be willing to die? As for the people in my superpower bureau, you don't need to comment on whether they are crooked or not? The two children you saved back then are now You have grown so big, it seems they have got your true inheritance, right? How about letting me, a crooked melon and cracking jujube, try their level? "
The old man said indifferently: "Duanmulin, although this is your Chinese territory, you know very well that for us bounty hunters, we will appear wherever there are aliens who deserve to be killed. We are not included in international treaties. The ban. Moreover, we have no intention of becoming an enemy of your Superpower Bureau, we are just hunting down the prey of heinous crimes."
Duanmulin nodded and said: "You are right. It's not that I don't welcome you to our China. It's just that your prey this time is related to a major event in our China. So, I hope you can stop and let us clean up ourselves. Portal.”
The old man said coldly: "Do you think it is possible? In order to find out the information about the prey, we killed more than a dozen half corpses abroad, and I was also injured. If we just give up, our hard work for several months will be in vain. ”
Duanmulin was silent. He knew very well about the virtues of bounty hunters. The old guy in front of him is even more paranoid. He will never give up on the prey he is about to get, even if he is about to face an extremely dangerous situation.
Tang Xiu took half a step, looked at the old man and said, "I want to know the price of two half corpses. If the price is cheap, we can cooperate."
The old man raised his brows, suddenly showed a sneer, and said: "Duanmulin, I didn't expect that the people in your supernatural bureau would be so unruly. When will someone be able to make the decision for you? Or are you ready to retire? Are you going to give up your position as Director of the Supernatural Power Bureau to this kid in front of you?"
Duan Mulin turned to look at Tang Xiu, shook his head and smiled: "Old Zhong, if this guy is willing to take over my position as director of the Supernatural Power Bureau, I will give it to him immediately, and even let me be a soldier under him. Young general, I am willing to do so."
"What?"
The old man's expression changed and he looked at Duan Mulin and Tang Xiu in disbelief. He understands Duanmulin's character. This guy is loyal to this country and even dedicates everything to China. As for the position of director of the Bureau of Extraordinary Energy, he cared about it very much. Why was he willing to give it up now
Tang Xiu curled his lips and said with a faint smile: "I have no interest at all in the position of Director of the Supernatural Power Bureau. So Senior Zhong, please stop sowing discord. You only need to tell me about the two half-corpses. Just the value on the black market.”
The old man looked deeply at Tang Xiu, stretched out a finger and said, "Ten million US dollars."
Tang Xiu made an "OK" gesture and said with a faint smile: "To kill those two half-corpses, you will probably sell them on the black market, so why not sell those two half-corpses to us. Of course, we still have I can help you find the whereabouts of those two half-corpses, and we can even join forces to kill them."
The old man narrowed his eyes. He was very interested in the other party's proposal and even felt very satisfied with it. And, most importantly, he is least afraid of people from the Superpower Bureau defaulting on their debts. However, at this moment, he became very interested in Tang Xiu's identity: "Little guy, what is your name?"
"Tang Xiu!"
Tang Xiu said with a smile.
The old man nodded and said: "You are very good. Old man, I like young talents like you very much. I agree to this deal, but you need me to heal your injuries."
Tang Xiu turned over his hand and took out a jade bottle, looked at the old man and said, "Senior Zhong, you bounty hunters are all in the business of licking blood with their swords, right? If you are injured, and it is a serious injury, it will cause a lot of harm to you. Impact, right? I have some elixirs here, do you need them? If so, we can discuss the price!"
The old man said strangely: "Elixir? An elixir that can heal wounds? Are you not a superpower? Are you a Chinese ascetic? And you are also a ascetic who can refine elixirs?"
Tang Xiu didn't hide anything, and said with a smile on his face: "Yes, I am a cultivator who can refine elixirs. Are you willing to do this business?"
The old man said: "I need to inspect the goods. If the elixir you refined has a strong healing effect, I am willing to buy it. If it has no effect, you don't need to mention it again."
Tang Xiu opened the jade bottle, and as he took out a healing holy medicine from the jade bottle, it shot in front of the old man and floated in front of his eyes. He smiled and said: "The value of a holy healing medicine is 20 million U.S. dollars. If you want to try the medicine, if the effect is good, you need to pay me 20 million U.S. dollars. If the effect is not good, I will not charge you a penny."
The old man shouted angrily: "Is your asking price too outrageous? Twenty million US dollars? Why don't you go and grab it!"
The smile on Tang Xiu's face faded, his expression became a little cold, and he said calmly: "When fighting on the battlefield, if you are seriously injured, your combat effectiveness will be affected, so you will die. But after taking the healing medicine I refined, you will soon be healed." Being able to recover from the injury is equivalent to gaining half a life. I want to ask, is half a life more important, or 20 million US dollars?"
"this… "
The old man was speechless. If he really died in battle, no amount of money would be of any use! However, the value of a pill at 20 million US dollars is ridiculously expensive. Although he had money and could afford to buy dozens of healing elixirs, he still felt heartbroken to be ripped off like this.
Tang Xiu said: "The choice is yours, not mine. You decide whether this deal can be completed or not."
The old man felt the injury in his body and looked at the elixir floating in front of his eyes. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally compromised, reached out to catch the elixir, then tore off the wax paper outside and swallowed it directly.
"Master, be careful of the poison."
The blond man's expression changed and he shouted hurriedly.
The old man shook his head and said: "If it were someone else, I would be worried, but he is from Duanmulin, so I don't worry."
Duanmulin curled up the corners of his mouth, a faint smile crept onto his face, clasped his fists and said, "Old Zhong, it's really rare that you can say heartwarming words with such a sharp mouth! I understand Tang Xiu's character, and he will not harm you. "
Tang Xiu said nothing, but Duanmulin was right. He would not harm the old man in front of him, because since he learned about the existence of bounty hunters, he was unwilling to do anything to people in this profession. Although bounty hunters make money and make a living by killing, they kill almost all aliens. If they encounter aliens who have not committed evil, they will not kill easily.
In other words: the vast majority of bounty hunters are considered good people.
After the old man took the holy healing elixir, he felt the elixir turn into a surge of heat, flowing quickly down his throat into his chest, and then into his abdomen. Eventually, the huge medicinal power spread out and flooded into his limbs, bones, and internal organs.
"Um?"
The old man's expression changed and he immediately sat down cross-legged.
Duanmulin turned his head and glanced at Tang Xiu, with a smile on his face and said: "Before, I didn't know that you could refine elixirs. Tang Xiu, I think the price of a holy healing elixir is 20 million US dollars. It’s a good deal. I wonder how many you have? I’m willing to spend money to buy it.”
Tang Xiu thought for a while and then said via voice transmission: "For ten million dollars each, I can sell a hundred pills to the Superpower Bureau every year. This... is the limit of the healing holy medicine I can produce."
Duanmulin gave a thumbs up and praised: "As expected of one of our own, this discount is enough. Just as you said, the Superpower Bureau will buy one hundred healing holy medicines from you every year."
