Hunting is the first act of man to conquer nature, and it is also one of the most primitive desires of human beings.
Europeans regard hunting as an aristocratic activity. They wear British hunting attire, wear a double-brimmed hunting hat on their head, hold a shotgun, ride a fast horse, bring a hound, and gallop through the wilderness to show courage and determination. Many romantic stories between aristocratic men and women, and the business overlords' alliances took place during this process.
The reason why the hunting activities in the Evernight City are attractive is that you can catch prey here that cannot be found elsewhere. For people who are qualified to appear here, it is not surprising at all to run into the woods with shotguns and hounds to hunt down a few hares and mountain pigs. What makes them flock to it is that the beast park in the Evernight City simulates various wild beasts roaming in wild environments.
These beasts come from all over the world, including lions and hyenas, elephants and rhinos and hippopotamuses in Africa, white bears in the Arctic, grizzly bears and brown bears in North America, tigers and giant wild boars from Siberia, tigers and leopards from India, giant anacondas and anacondas from South America. Jaguars, in short, as long as they exist in this world, they will get them at any cost. Train and cultivate with the secret techniques in Fushu Sutra.
On the day when the hunt begins, they will select those beasts in their prime and release them into the hunting area. And these distinguished guests from all over the world will start competing for it. The scores are compared according to the difficulty and number of hunted beasts. The final winner will receive a gold medal personally awarded by the hunting god Huo Shan and a head specimen of the animal he hunted. The honored guests who get the gold medal can choose a Huo girl in the city to marry, or they can choose to become direct business partners with the Huo people in a certain field.
This is a very clever approach. For the Huo clan, money only represents quantity. Using the attraction of hunting to expand the Huo clan's influence around the world is the most valuable. The hunt hasn't even begun yet, but these characters, who come from all over the world and have almost the same dominance, are already eager to give it a try.
People are enjoying the horse racing, and the hounds are barking excitedly.
A dull sound sounded, which was the signal sent by the Mongolian horn. There are male and female horns. The male has a dull and muddy sound, while the female has a clear sound. The former is as desolate and powerful as a big hammer, while the latter's tone is as light as the flick of a bowstring.
Males and females play together, and all beasts come out of their cages.
As the high priest of the hunt, Hossen loudly announced the animals released in the hunting area this year and the corresponding points. In this hunting event, three Amur tigers were released, with an average weight of 630 pounds. One of them, a male tiger weighing 880 pounds, was worth 15 super points and was the highest among all beasts! There are five Bengal tigers, with an average weight of 460 pounds, but only eight or nine points. Another Kodiak brown bear weighing 680 kilograms reached 12 super points.
This super point is a points system specially established for certain super beasts with special development. One super point is equivalent to five ordinary points. This super score is very attractive, but it also means extremely high risks. Usually they only appear on those carnivorous beasts that are huge in size and possess extraordinary talents and strength. The reason why this beast can grow so big is that in addition to having excellent racial genes, it also has a relatively long lifespan and accumulates richer wisdom.
Huo Sen was still reading out the list of wild animals to be released in the hunting area. How many elephants would be worth points, how many rhinoceroses and hippopotamuses would be worth points, and how many Nile crocodiles and anacondas would be released in the river area, and how the points would be calculated.
This is a wild feast and a dangerous journey. These big shots are not afraid of getting hurt, but they certainly don't want to lose their lives. Therefore, the city that never sleeps is equipped with a strong security personnel for every participant.
Only twenty-eight gold cards have been issued worldwide to participate in the hunt. The twenty-eight security personnel are all elite mercenaries from the Night Demon Group. They wear golden masks, wear one-piece alloy chain armor, and are equipped with There are light and heavy firepower, a 25-pound shotgun specifically designed to deal with Africa's three tyrants, and a Sand Eagle pistol to deal with close-range threats. In short, it has everything. It has only one purpose, which is to absolutely ensure the safety of game participants without participating in hunting.
The Spring Hunt in Evernight City has been held for many years, and every year there is a surprise egg hunt, and this year is certainly no exception. And this so-called easter egg refers to a person, a person who is very difficult to kill. Anyone who is selected and placed in the hunting area will definitely not be weak. If you kill the target, you will naturally get super points. The Evernight City will decide how many super points this person is worth based on his strength. This person this year is worth thirty super points.
After Huo Sen finished his announcement, there was a sudden boo in surprise among the eager dignitaries in the audience. One person had some doubts and said in English: Thirty super points, killing this bastard is enough to get the gold medal! Mr. Sen, do you think too highly of this person? Huo Sen chuckled and said: Mr. Samnick, it doesn't matter if I think highly of him, the key is that you don't underestimate him. The guy named Samnik asked: Does he still have weapons? After that he burst into laughter.
Li Muye was called to his side by Huo Ze, and the two stood side by side under the factory shed where the hunt started.
"Brother Jiang and I worked together to capture this man. He is very difficult to deal with." Huo Ze tilted his head and whispered in Li Muye's ear: "Even though he has a remote-controlled explosive device implanted in his body and is unarmed, he can If anyone thinks this is an easy-to-get easter egg, they might be in bad luck." A smile appeared on his lips, a bit naughty and mocking, and he added: "If the predator becomes the prey, what do you think? Wouldn’t it be fun?”
"If I were a hunter, I wouldn't find it fun, but if I were just a bystander, of course I would find this kind of game interesting." Li Muye said calmly.
"What Lao Yan said is right, brother Li, you are indeed a smart man." Huo Ze said with a smile, "It's a pity that we met so late."
Li Muye smiled along with him and said, "Brother Huo is joking, how could it be too late? I think it's just the right time for us to meet."
"I like to chat with smart people, just like most smart people like to guess riddles." Huo Ze said with a smile: "Seemingly smart people are often conceited in their bones, and do not easily accept other people's opinions, and do not want to think that others are strong. After surpassing themselves, they always feel that they are the most amazing.”
"Fortunately, I'm not a smart person." Li Muye said calmly, "So I know that really smart people are always those who seem to know nothing."
"When you say that, I think you are the really smart person." Huo Ze said: "Brother Li, do you think this year's hunt is interesting?"
As soon as he heard these words, Li Muye was 100% sure that he had been exposed. But this fact did not exceed Brother Ono's expectation. Huo Ze has been pretending to be confused, and so is Li Muye. The Taiping Society's plan was connected one by one, pulling Xiao Ye Ge into this situation step by step. However, after Huo Ze saw through it, he ruined their original plan with a small move. From that moment on, Li Muye began to plan how to get Pi Rixiu's antidote without angering the Taiping Society, and at the same time establish a new relationship with the Evernight City.
This is a very difficult thing, but it is much more proactive than being at the mercy of the Taiping Society.
"I'm a country bumpkin. I've never seen this kind of battle before." Li Muye said, "Only after meeting Brother Huo can I have the opportunity to expand my horizons here."
The hunting began, and the rich and distinguished guests from all over the world rode out excitedly and galloped towards the hunting area that was dozens of kilometers in radius.
Huo Ze kept watching and waited until the crowd was gone before he suddenly said: "The vice-president of the Taiping Society is a man of great wisdom. He never fully trusted Lao Jiang from the beginning to the end. His original plan was to ask Pi Rixiu to take action. He killed people to create chaos in the hunting area, and then led people into the city through the inside of the city that never sleeps, tricked me and my third brother into going back, and then set up an ambush to kill me and my third brother together with dozens of rocket launchers."
"Pi Rixiu was afraid of death, so he changed his plan temporarily when he met me." Li Muye said: "He brought me in to attract firepower in the open. It is naturally safer for him to do it secretly."
"Pi Rixiu is not important." Huo Ze said: "What I want to know more is who the vice president of the Taiping Society is."
"You don't know his origins either?"
"We only know that this person has lived in a Russian ethnic village, has been engaged in border trade for many years, and has close contacts with Lao Maozi's army. If his plan succeeds, the city that never sleeps will almost be destroyed."
Li Muye didn't want to continue this topic. Huo Ze didn't know that Zhang Junpeng's brother's matter was a good thing for him. When necessary, he could use it as a bargaining chip to negotiate terms, so he changed the subject and said, "You should be from Hu Lei." Leopard’s death revealed something was wrong with me.”
"The Hulei Leopard was killed by Shan Yatou after being poisoned by ecstasy powder." Huo Ze said: "Using the physical properties of ordinary ingredients to prepare this almost undetectable ecstasy powder is Xu Yangchen's unique skill from Zuo Daoqi. , Xian Dongping and the others were also poisoned by him that time."
"Shan girl's cat was caught by the old man. It is a token of contact with Pi Rixiu." Huo Ze said: "Lang Kunbao has been following me for many years, but he has never really convinced me. He is one of the most powerful beasts in modern times." The most powerful person in the sect, despite his age, he is still a top expert, it’s really a waste of effort to get him here.”
"Is Lang Kunbao an Easter egg?"
"Originally I wanted to use you." Huo Ze said: "Hu Leibao's death gave me an excuse to take Lao Lang back. Since he chose the Taiping Society, don't blame me for being ruthless." He sighed deeply. , suddenly the conversation changed: "It's no wonder that the old man betrayed me. The Huang family of the Ziyun sect is an amazing big family. With a heritage of 1,300 years, there are few families in the world who can compare with it. Our Huo family can match it." It's amazing enough to contend. Although I didn't suffer a loss this time, I don't dare to expect that it will be so easy in the future."
There was a trace of sadness in his tone, which was a kind of helplessness that sometimes manpower is exhausted, and even with all the wisdom and strength, there is no way to compete.
"I actually had many opportunities to leave." Li Muye said: "But I thought that I came out this time to get rid of the buckle, so I decided to stay."
"You stayed to look for opportunities, but not just for opportunities to cooperate with me." Huo Ze said: "If I'm stupid enough and you think Taiping has a higher chance of success, I think you will definitely choose to cooperate with them. .”
"Both parties will benefit from cooperation." Li Muye said simply.
"You owe me a life." Huo Ze stared at Li Muye with narrowed eyes and said, "What are you going to give me in return?"
"You and I cooperate. I will pretend to cooperate with the Taiping Society's plan and help you dig out all the nails that the Taiping Society has buried in the city that never sleeps."
"There is a nail buried deep in the city that never sleeps. Even Lao Jiang can't dig this person out." Huo Ze said coldly: "But even if you help me find this person, it's not enough. I also want Pi Rixiu." Head, as far as I know he is already here, I want to protect Samnik personally, you have to be responsible for finding this old earth dragon for me!"
"I need his antidote. Once I get it, I'll send him on his way..." (End of Chapter)
