Chapter 174 Settlement on the Thirty-Fourth Day (Fourth Update, Please Vote)

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. In the end, the four merchants reluctantly sold all their goods at a hefty price.

Of course, they also harvested a batch of various scrap iron materials dismantled from the cars.

As the four people left, Agu sensed something was wrong.

He immediately questioned, "What do you mean by this? You're going back on your word!"

Cao Biansheng glanced at him indifferently, "It was Jia Liangcai who agreed to your request. What does it have to do with me, Cao Biansheng? If you want to kill those people, let Jia Liangcai do it."

With his extraordinary wisdom, Cao Biansheng easily figured out the key points: the core objective was to obtain supplies at a low price! Once the supplies were in hand, everything else was secondary.

Agu finally learned the old man's name, "Jia Liangcai, Jia Liangcai, I remember now!"

Thirty years ago, the Chief Administrator of Yingzhou, who was wanted for treason, was named Jia Liangcai! The arrest warrant claimed that Jia Liangcai had colluded with the Rouran.

Isn't he one of our own?! How could he collude with this group to deceive me? Those damned Dayong people, not a single one of them is good!

In the end, Agu, with a sour face, traded the goods for a low price and handed over two longbows.

The only thing that made him feel fortunate was that his identity as a Rouran had not been exposed.

This made him feel a little better; at least these people were trustworthy. Bullshit!

Watching Agu storm off with his guards, Luo Gang clicked his tongue in amazement. He couldn't help but look at the refined old man behind Qin Ziwen, who had been the one who orchestrated the whole affair from the beginning until now.

Cao Biansheng, that fool, became a pawn, yet he thought himself incredibly clever.

Subsequently, the three parties began to divide the purchased goods equally.

Firstly, regarding the goods, they were divided equally among the three parties because everyone contributed an equal amount of iron to the transaction.

Secondly, Qin Ziwen put in a lot of effort to get the two longbows at a discounted price, and both sides tacitly agreed that the bows belonged to him.

After putting away the two longbows, Qin Ziwen casually dropped a bombshell: "When I was talking to him just now, I learned that in their country, there have been frequent occurrences of beings like us in recent years. Given the size of our buildings, we are far from being able to achieve such frequent occurrences."

Zou Jianghe said, "So you suspect that there are other communities besides ours."

Luo Gang said, "There's no doubt about it, it definitely exists. Buildings in other communities are also frequently coming into contact with this dynasty. I suspect that in the future, we may compete with other communities, and it's even possible that we will all be affected by this dynasty."

"Impossible." Zou Jianghe frowned. An ancient feudal dynasty with a systematic structure and professional soldiers was far superior to a beast that only followed its instincts.

If a large army were to invade, it would be difficult for even a small neighborhood to resist, let alone a neighborhood with double the population.

"As far as I know, the royal family of the Dayong Dynasty knows about the cards and also knows about the existence of the Homeland."

These words were like a bombshell.

Both of them were silently processing the news.

"Alright, now that the transaction is over, I'll take these goods and head back."

Qin Ziwen returned to his residence with the goods.

This harvest yielded a large quantity of cotton, cloth, and herbs.

Either way, they are useful for now.

Qian Muzhen was both in pain and happy. It was rare for the adults to bring back so many herbs, but there were too many. He was so busy that he couldn't keep his feet on the ground. Now it was getting late, and he was an old man. He was a little overwhelmed!

Seeing this, Qin Ziwen called a few people to help, but because they were not familiar with the herbs, they only made things worse for Qian Muzhen, and in the end, he chased them all away.

It was almost ten o'clock when Du Yu still hadn't returned. On the balcony, the sound of the eagle landing came from the ground; it had returned a step ahead of time.

Seeing the harpy eagle return alone, Qin Ziwen's heart skipped a beat.

Hopefully nothing unexpected has happened.

Upon seeing its master, the harpy eagle released its claws and tossed out a blood-stained cloth.

Qin Ziwen quickly picked it up. "On the way back, the jade was blocked by a dragon. After several unsuccessful attempts to drive it away, it was killed. Now, the men and horses are exhausted and unable to move it. Please ask the lord to bring men here."

This piece of cloth looks like a corner torn from Du Yu's clothes, or perhaps it was written in a concise manner because of the limited area.

"People safe is good."

Qin Ziwen immediately gathered everyone together, and with three wheelbarrows in hand, the group headed south, led by the horned eagle.

About half an hour later, Du Yu and the Mongolian horse were found on the side of a rock.

Upon seeing its master, Red Hare hurriedly ran over, its eyes brimming with tears, and nestled its head into Qin Ziwen's arms in a spoiled manner. Then, the horse turned around, raised its hooves, and showed Qin Ziwen its rough, calloused hooves.

Upon seeing this, the harpy eagle was so angry that it cawed wildly in the sky.

But soon, its croaking was mixed with some other sounds.

The sound, like bat wings flapping, grew increasingly intense overhead.

The harpy eagle lowered its height and landed behind Qin Ziwen.

Although it is not afraid of being one-on-one, there are hundreds of them above its head at this moment.

"Watch out, there's a pterosaur!" Qin Ziwen shouted.

The group formed a circle and raised their spears.

Above, a dense swarm of pterosaurs hovered overhead like bats.

They were attracted by the carcass of the raptor.

Several pterosaurs made tentative dives, but when the spears pierced through, they decisively took off.

Only one unlucky creature couldn't dodge in time, and with the added speed of its dive, it got its wings caught on the gun barrel, like a window that had been pierced.

The pterosaur struggled desperately on the gun barrel, its wings nearly hitting Yuan Ming's face.

Qin Ziwu shouted and swung his spear, smashing the pterosaur attached to the shaft to the ground.

The pterosaur, weighing only a little over ten pounds, couldn't withstand such a violent impact and immediately lost consciousness.

"Hiss!"

"Hiss!"

In the sky, the pterosaurs were unwilling to give up their prey, they made threatening noises and occasionally pretended to swoop down.

While maintaining their formation, Qin Ziwen and his men slowly advanced northward.

The two sides remained deadlocked for a long time. The pterosaurs seemed to realize that the group of humans below were not easy to deal with and that continuing to linger would only waste their energy. So, led by a lead pterosaur, they flew away into the distance.

It wasn't until nearly midnight that everyone returned to the residential area.

After a busy day, they gradually dispersed and returned home.

It's worth mentioning that the creature blocking the road at night was also a desert raptor. Although it was slightly smaller than the one hunted during the day, it still met the requirement of being more than twice the weight. Du Yu's dragon hunter progress has now reached two-tenths.

Du Yu handed two newly acquired cards to Qin Ziwen. One card was obtained from the southern altar, and the other was dropped by the desert rogue.

The two cards are [Enhancement Card] Human Physique Enhancement Card (One Star) and [Expansion Card] Blank Expansion Card (Minor).

After receiving the card, Du Yu went to wash up. He had taken some of their blood to bathe after hunting two dinosaurs during the day, which made him smell of blood and feel sticky and uncomfortable.

"You have successfully survived in the wilderness for 34 days, obtained three cards, and participated in the hunt for the Rift Flesh, acquiring some resources. Overall score: 200 points"

Reward received: [Function Card] Level 2 Node Card *1
