Era: My backyard is the garbage dump of the universe

Chapter 317: Xiao Heikui, why did you bite me again?

The dozen or so hunters around Zhao Daniu quickly threw away their hunting rifles, and raised their hands obediently, not daring to make any movements.

It's not that they are all cowards, but the hunting rifle was cut into two pieces by the broken knife and cannot be used at all. In this situation, if they don't surrender, the four Ye family members around Old Jiang will open fire.

But Liu Qingsong did not show leniency to Zhao Daniu. Instead, he raised his foot and kicked him: "Don't you think it's too late for you to ask me to talk properly now?"

With a thud, Zhao Daniu fell to the ground and couldn't get up. He looked at Liu Qingsong who was walking towards him in horror: "Don't come over here, ahem...if you come over again, I'll call for help."

"Hmph! All your men are here. What can you achieve by shouting any more?" Wu Niang sneered and exposed Zhao Daniu's lie.

"That's right... He's not even afraid of you, so how could he be afraid of someone you yell at?" Jin Ruyi said with relief, and then asked Liu Qingsong: "By the way! What's your name?"

"His name is Liu Qingsong, and he is my, Li Juren's granddaughter's son-in-law. Zhao Daniu, if you have the ability, go and call him. I want to see what you are capable of." Before Liu Qingsong could speak, Li Juren spoke coldly.

Of course.

He said this with a purpose.

Liu Qingsong and Jin Ruyi couldn't hear it.

But Zhao Daniu's pupils shrank when he heard this, and there was a look of astonishment in his eyes: "You...you are the Li Juren who used his beekeeping skills to kill hundreds of people?"

The dozen or so hunters around him also began to tremble.

The reason for this is that it is obvious that Li Juren's reputation is well-known, and they have neither seen nor heard of him.

"That's me." Li Juren replied.

Zhao Daniu was frightened and started to cry: "Mr. Li, I was blind and didn't recognize a great man. Please forgive me! As long as you forgive me, I will do anything for you."

"Hmph! People like you deserve to die." Li Juren swung the hatchet and chopped at Zhao Daniu.

Zhao Daniu panicked and quickly got up and ran.

But before he ran two meters away, a member of the Ye family shot him in the right leg.

"Ouch!" Zhao Daniu fell to the ground and howled like a wolf.

Li Juren was about to kill Zhao Daniu with a single blow when a series of gong and drum sounds rang out in the canyon. Immediately afterwards, all the vendors and the indigenous inhabitants of the canyon ran forward as fast as they could.

"What's going on?" Old Jiang frowned.

Liu Qingsong, Li Juren and Li Fenfen were also somewhat puzzled when watching this scene.

Although the four members of the Ye family were also confused, they did not interfere. Instead, they pointed their guns at Zhao Daniu to prevent him from escaping.

Wu Niang took a look and explained, "It should be Chen Yuping's son who is ringing the gong, asking everyone to re-elect the person in charge of the medicine market."

"This is the rule here. When the person in charge of the medicine market dies or abdicates, a gong must be struck to elect a new person."

"Then who do you think is qualified to be elected as the new head of the medicine market?" Old Man Wang asked Wu Niang.

If it was someone he knew, it would be much easier for Li Juren and Mr. Jiang to buy herbs later.

"I don't know about that." Wu Niang smiled bitterly and replied, "The person in charge of the medicine market said it was a nomination, but in fact it was a competition. Without a certain level of strength and luck, you can't sit in this position."

"What do you mean?" Old Man Wang looked at Wu Niang.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Chen Yuping's son should hang a tiger king skin on the cliff nearly 100 meters high according to past tradition. Whoever is able to get this tiger king skin will be the person in charge of the new medicine market." Wu Niang replied softly.

"But the question is, who can do this?" Old Jiang couldn't help but ask in a lost voice.

Climbing a hundred-meter-high cliff is no joke. If you fall from it, you will lose your life. There is no possibility of luck.

"City people may not be able to do it, but the young people in our mountains are all experts in climbing cliffs. If you don't believe it, just go and see for yourself." Wu Niang suggested with a smile.

"This..." Old Jiang hesitated.

"I think we can go and take a look." Li Juren said softly.

"Now that Zhao Daniu has been captured, basically no one dares to do anything to us anymore." Old Man Wang also said.

"Then let's go and take a look." When Old Jiang saw Li Juren and Old Wang said this, he immediately walked towards the canyon ahead with Wu Niang.

Liu Qingsong followed with Li Fenfen and Jin Ruyi.

As for Zhao Daniu, he was tied up by four members of the Ye family.

After tying him up, they caught up with Mr. Jiang.

At this moment, a sound that pierced through gold and split rock came from the canyon above.

Liu Qingsong looked up and saw that it was the little eagle he raised that was calling. He couldn't help but frown.

If nothing unexpected happened, he knew that there must be movement at the treasure entrance in the back mountain of Li Fenfen's house.

Otherwise, the little eagle would not appear in the canyon.

But thinking this way, Liu Qingsong did not pay much attention to it, but continued to follow Jiang Lao and Wu Niang and walked towards the canyon ahead.

As they walked, Xiao Hei Kui also appeared among a group of hunting dogs.

Li Fenfen, Jiang Lao and others did not notice it, but Liu Qingsong recognized it at a glance.

In addition to being surprised, Liu Qingsong also looked around cautiously. After all, if the liquid robot didn't sense that he was in danger, it would be impossible for it to teleport Xiao Heikui as well.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he noticed that many eagles appeared on the cliffs of the canyon.

It was obvious at first glance that these eagles were captive, and several of them had bells tied to their legs.

After hearing a whistle, they all flew towards the cliff where the tiger king's skin was hung.

There were many people standing at the foot of the cliff, and a rough count showed that there were at least a thousand of them.

They included men, women, young and old, and many of them were from ethnic minorities wearing strange costumes.

So many people gathered under the cliff, obviously they all wanted to snatch the tiger king skin and then take over the entire medicine market.

The medicine market is worthless in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of these mountain people, it represents wealth and power.

"Wu Niang, can anyone be the manager of this medicine market?" Old Jiang opened his mouth slowly and asked softly.

"Yes, it doesn't matter whether you are a man or a woman, from what background or how old you are, as long as you can get the tiger king skin hanging on the cliff." Wu Niang whispered back, "But don't get involved. Many people die every time a tiger king skin is snatched. Some people will do anything to take over the medicine market, even using poison."

"Really?" Old Jiang frowned.

To be on the safe side, Liu Qingsong even pulled Li Fenfen to stand on a protruding rock to watch the excitement.

A moment later, with the sound of gongs beating, dozens of strong young men climbed up the cliff with their bare hands.

They climbed very quickly. Two young men wearing turbans climbed to a height of eight or nine meters in just a dozen seconds.

This made the passers-by watching the excitement below couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, and some even shouted "Come on!"

However, at this moment, one of the young men suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, spitting blood and fainted.

"How could this happen?" Old Jiang was shocked.

Li Fenfen, Wu Niang, Old Man Wang and others were also a little surprised.

Only Liu Qingsong clearly saw that the young man was bitten by a poisonous snake and then fell down.

This poisonous snake is only the size of a chopstick and its color is very similar to the color of the cliff, so most people cannot detect it at all.

After biting the young man, the poisonous snake crawled into the crack of the cliff, waiting for an opportunity to attack the next young man.

However, before its body could completely fit into the gap, it was caught by a flying eagle and torn into two pieces.

Liu Qingsong originally thought that this eagle was a good one, but who would have thought that after throwing away the poisonous snake, it actually led the other eagles to fly towards the young man climbing the cliff.

Seeing this, the young men took out their weapons and fought back while cursing.

But unfortunately, they were on a cliff several meters high. If they freed up one hand to fight back against the eagle, the other hand would have to bear a lot of gravity and pressure.

Almost at the same time, more than a dozen young people fell off the cliff.

Those young people who did not fall down were also in danger, and some were even pecked by eagles.

But these eagles did not let these young people go so easily. Instead, they circled in the air and then swooped down.

"Ah~~!"

"No~!"

"Whose eagle is this?"

The young men climbing on the cliff let out screams, and except for a petite girl, all the others fell down.

The girl was obviously the owner of the eagles, because not a single eagle attacked her, and the eagles flew towards the cliff 100 meters high, ready to take the tiger skin down and give it to the girl. After seeing the girl's appearance, Wu Niang's face suddenly changed: "Oh no, she is Zhao Daniu's sister Zhao Xiaoying. If she gets the tiger skin, we will be in trouble."

"Then what do you think we should do next?" Li Juren asked Wu Niang in a low voice.

Old Jiang, Old Wang, Jin Ruyi, and Li Fenfen also looked at Wu Niang.

They are now enemies with Zhao Daniu. If Zhao Xiaoying really gets the Tiger King skin and becomes the person in charge of the medicine market, I'm afraid none of them will be able to leave here alive.

"How do I know what to do?" Wu Niang said anxiously: "Unless you can get the tiger king skin and stop Zhao Xiaoying from becoming the person in charge of the medicine market, I have to take my Ruyi away from the medicine market immediately."

This is not an exaggeration.

Once Zhao Xiaoying becomes the person in charge of the medicine market, Zhao Daniu will definitely use the power in Zhao Xiaoying's hands to force her daughter Jin Ruyi to marry him.

If you don't agree.

Death is still the lightest punishment.

She was afraid that Zhao Daniu would make their life a living hell, which would be troublesome.

"Then can your people go and fight for the tiger king skin?" After understanding the meaning of Wu Niang's words, Li Juren turned his head and looked at Old Jiang.

"This..." Old Jiang hesitated to speak.

Upon seeing this, several members of the Ye family looked at each other and raised their pistols, ready to shoot the eagle that was trying to steal the tiger king's skin.

But before he could aim, Wu Niang stopped him and said, "Don't shoot. If you shoot, you will be breaking the rules. To snatch the tiger king skin, you can use a knife, a rope or other primitive weapons, or even pet cats, dogs, eagles and other poisonous insects, but you can't use a gun."

"Now we can't stop Zhao Xiaoying from taking the tiger king skin." Old Jiang said in a low voice.

"That's right." Li Juren agreed.

"In that case, let's stop watching the fun and run away." Wu Niang said as she pulled Jin Ruyi's hand.

But before he ran two meters away, several eagles fell down from above his head, screaming.

Wu Niang, Liu Qingsong, Jin Ruyi, Li Fenfen and others looked up.

Only then did they discover that several young men were shooting the eagle with bows and arrows.

The bow and arrow are primitive weapons here, so there is no foul.

Zhang Xiaoying was extremely angry when she saw the eagle she had raised with so much effort being shot to death. However, after looking back at the young men who were climbing up the cliff to catch up with her, she was not blinded by hatred. Instead, she continued to crawl towards the location of the tiger king skin with gritted teeth.

Now she was first, and even though several eagles had been shot and the others had escaped, there was still hope of getting the tiger king skin.

However, when Zhang Xiaoying was only a few meters away from the tiger king skin, she screamed, let go of the cliff and fell down.

However, he did not fall to the ground. Instead, he grabbed a protruding rock with his hand and narrowly saved his life.

Nearly a thousand people on the ground couldn't help but worry for Zhang Xiaoying when they saw this scene.

But the other young people climbing the cliff didn't care about all that, and climbed towards the location of the tiger king skin as quickly as possible.

Liu Qingsong then clearly saw that a one-eyed young man was quietly releasing the poisonous insects in his pocket while climbing.

The appearance of these poisonous insects could not be seen clearly due to the distance, but Liu Qingsong was certain of one thing, that is, the next young people who climbed the cliff, including Zhang Xiaoying, would be in trouble.

Sure enough, as soon as this thought came to mind, two young men were bitten by poisonous insects and fell off the cliff screaming.

One of them fell so hard that his flesh and blood were all over the place, and Liu Qingsong couldn't bear to look at it.

But strangely, Zhao Xiaoying was fine. After resting on the cliff for a while, she actually climbed towards the location of the tiger king skin.

At this time, the one-eyed young man had surpassed Zhao Xiaoying, and countless black spots were crawling all over his body.

These black spots are undoubtedly poisonous insects.

Zhao Xiaoying gritted her teeth as she watched this scene. Seeing that there was no hope of snatching the tiger king's skin, she hesitated for a moment and then blew the whistle.

After the whistle disappeared, the eagles that had escaped before flew back again. Not only did their number not decrease, but there were more than a dozen more.

One of them was snow-white and huge in size, obviously the king eagle.

As soon as the Eagle King appeared, the one-eyed young man's face changed, and he hurriedly increased his speed to crawl towards the Tiger King's skin, but before he could reach it, the Eagle King stretched out its sharp claws and grabbed him.

Only a scream was heard.

The one-eyed young man fell directly from the cliff that was several dozen meters high.

With a thud, it fell to the ground and turned into a meat patty.

Liu Qingsong frowned when he saw this scene.

Li Fenfen was so frightened that she turned her head away and dared not look anymore.

But Zhao Xiaoying became excited and crawled towards the location of the tiger king skin with all her strength.

Liu Qingsong knew that this was not going to work. For the safety of Old Jiang, Li Fenfen, Li Juren, Old Wang, Wu Niang, Jin Ruyi and others, he looked around.

Seeing the little eagle standing on a crooked tree and watching quietly, he waved his hands.

The little eagle understood what he meant, and before it could fly up, the injured Zhao Daniu appeared arrogantly in a bamboo sedan chair with dozens of hunters.

These hunters all carry hunting rifles on their shoulders, with hunting dogs following them, and some even have eagles standing on their shoulders.

When the passers-by who were watching the excitement saw this scene, they all tried to avoid it, and the timid ones even ran away out of fear.

Wu Niang's face was also very ugly. She never expected that the injured and tied-up Zhao Daniu would dare to come back in a bamboo sedan chair.

Just when she didn't know what to do, Zhao Daniu looked at her and Liu Qingsong and said, "You guys just wait for me. When my sister gets the tiger king skin, none of you will be able to leave the medicine market alive."

"Really?" Liu Qingsong sneered.

The expressions of Mr. Jiang and Li Juren also turned ugly.

But no one took action, but looked up at the cliff above their heads.

On the cliff, Zhao Xiaoying was climbing and was still five meters away from the tiger king skin.

But at this time Zhao Xiaoying was exhausted and her climbing speed was very slow.

But even so, the other young people on the cliff did not dare to chase after them, because the Eagle King was protecting Zhao Xiaoying all around.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Zhao Daniu's mouth almost rose to his ears. Seeing that Zhao Xiaoying was already reaching for the tiger king skin, he raised his arms and shouted: "I declare that the person in charge of this term's medicine market..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhao Xiaoying on the cliff suddenly screamed.

This shocked Zhao Daniu so much that he even looked at Zhao Xiaoying.

Only then did he discover that the tiger king skin in Zhao Xiaoying's hand had been snatched away by a huge eagle.

This eagle was bigger than the Eagle King. When the Eagle King tried to grab it, he was slapped away by the eagle's claw and crashed into the cliff, almost falling off.

"Who raises this eagle!" Zhao Daniu roared.

The other onlookers also looked at each other, trying to find this person.

After all, this strange eagle managed to snatch the tiger king skin, which meant that his owner was qualified to become the person in charge of this medicine market.

"Qingsong, this... isn't this the little eagle you raised?" Li Fenfen saw the eagle's appearance clearly at this time and cheered.

Liu Qingsong: “…”

Everyone present heard this.

All eyes were directed at Liu Qingsong.

Zhao Daniu was no exception, there was anger and unwillingness in his eyes.

Seeing that Liu Qingsong didn't say anything, he snatched the hunting rifle from his shoulder and aimed and shot, trying to kill Liu Qingsong and start fighting for the tiger king skin again.

But Liu Qingsong did not fall down after the gunshot. Instead, Zhao Daniu was knocked down by a huge black dog.

The five black dogs bit off Zhao Daniu's neck in one bite, then roared at the hunters around Zhao Daniu.

The hunters were frightened by this ferocious scene. They dropped their rifles and retreated away. The timid ones even peed their pants in fear.

Liu Qingsong felt a little headache watching this scene: "Xiao Heikui, why did you bite me again?"
