Chapter 20? Lei Sanhu
Lin Zhiyu suddenly pulled the reins hard, causing the horse to stop at the top of the sand dune, turned his head to look southwest, Feng Delu's mount ran forward a few steps before turning back. Feng Delu followed his gaze, but there was no abnormality in his vision, and asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"
"Something should be running towards this side, very fast." Lin Zhiyu pointed to the sand dune in the distance and said, "Look at the dust rising over there." Although he didn't know what was coming, at least the speed was much faster than the two of them. If it was coming for them, then they would be caught up before they gathered with the team.
Feng Delu squinted his eyes and looked carefully for a while before he vaguely saw that as Lin Zhiyu said, there was indeed sand and dust rising behind the sand dunes in the distance, but it was difficult to determine whether it was because of some animal running or the wind blowing.
They did not wait for a long time, and four horses galloped over the sand dunes soon appeared in the distance. Lin Zhiyu couldn't help but blurted out: "They ride the rhinoceros wings!"
If the mounts that Lin Zhiyu and Feng Delu and others were riding were alien species migrated from the human parent planet, then the creature named Rhinoceros, the Rhinoceros named Rhinoceros is an indigenous creature of the New Earth Star. In addition to growing a sharp horn on the head like a rhino that can be used to attack the enemy, its appearance is very similar to that of human horses, except that it is larger in size, wider in shoulders, stronger in weight-bearing ability and endurance. Of course, it is also more wild and fierce, and more difficult to tame!
Humans have been developing on the New Earth for hundreds of years. Although it can be said that they have been striving for the continuation of the race, in this process, they have also been domesticated and improved some indigenous creatures of the New Earth, such as rhinoceros wings. However, because rhinoceros wings can be artificially bred for a short time, it is said that the annual output of the horse farm is quite limited and can only be supplied in a small range. However, in the five states of the Federation, there are wild rhinoceros wings. Those who are confident in their skills can tame wild rhinoceros wings.
The four rhinoceros hornets that appeared in front of Lin Zhiyu and Feng Delu looked very handsome. Not only was they more than one circle larger than their mounts, but their running momentum was also quite amazing. The four horsemen actually ran a large number of riding teams. The four people on the horse looked like they were men in their thirties, with short hair and moustaches and burly figures, which was quite compatible with the rhinoceros wingers under their crotch.
Lin Zhiyu and Feng Delu couldn't help but put the guns on their bodies in the most convenient position - they also noticed that these men not only carried guns, but also carried arrows on their backs, and carried silver guns and knives. This shows that these people were also very confident in fighting cold weapons.
People who can choose cold and hot weapons at will are all first-class players in the hunting halls of these family members in Qingyundu. They are also the highest-end combat power in the hunting halls of each family! There are no less than three or four thousand men in Qingyundu all year round, but only one hundred and eighty people can reach this level.
Although this ratio doesn't sound amazing, and one out of almost a few dozen people can be found, considering the location of Qingyundu and the vast majority of middle-aged and middle-aged men in the new Kramakan Desert have been making a living all year round, and more than 90% of the foreign population are caravans dominated by young and middle-aged people, this ratio will appear.
In the hinterland of Mingzhou, although ancient martial arts was also an important subject in nine years of compulsory education, because federal citizens generally possess guns and are more proficient than ancient martial arts, more people will choose to use hot weapons.
But those who understand know that hot weapons are powerful and can attack from afar and are proficient. Even if you are a novice, as long as you have enough bullets and have a capable instructor, you will be able to pull them out and use them soon. However, cold weapons are different, and anyone can pick them up and play them for a few times, but if you want to really use them to fight ferocious beasts, it is definitely not something that can be done in a year or two of a year of practice.
However, cold weapons also have advantages that are not as good as hot weapons, that is, they have strong ability to continue to fight and have low requirements for the combat environment. After all, without bullets, even a newcomer in the gun industry like the Luoning sniper rifle is just an expensive and not very easy-to-use iron stick.
Both of them became nervous, staring at the four people who were obviously rushing to them, and they were already very alert. Although the new Kramakan Desert is now a territory of Mingzhou, it is definitely not a place of rule of law. The number of casualties that are worthy of every year is not just caused by natural disasters and beasts.
Feng Delu even put the signal flare in a position that was within reach. Once he noticed something was wrong, he would have to tell the others in the team to run quickly. Although there were too many people, the rookies would send heads to the opposite side even if they came over. It would be better to expect a few people to run out, at least send the news out, and the family would know that in the future, the Chen family would just want to seek revenge for justice for them, and at least there would be a clue.
Lin Zhiyu's eyesight was much sharper than Feng Delu. He noticed that one of the four men had a greyhound the size of an ordinary rabbit on his mount. It was this man who had always dominated the direction of the four horses and headed straight for the two of them.
The four horses quickly approached the two, but the four horses slowed down their horse speed at about 300 meters and placed their hands in a more conspicuous place. Feng Delu secretly breathed a long breath, regardless of whether it was true or false, at least the other party showed kindness first. Of course, this does not mean that they could relax their vigilance.
The four horsemen slowly moved closer to the two, and both sides intentionally allowed the other party to see their hands to show kindness. Feng Delu whispered: "We are from the Chen Hunting Hall of Qingyundu. Where are the heroes from?" He looked at the four people, not the natives of Qingyundu.
The middle-aged man with a scar on his right cheek clasped his fist and said, "We are from Linhaidu, Qingyun Chen, and we have heard of it for a long time. In the Three Hus of the Thunder, behind them are my three brothers."
Feng Delu frowned secretly. Linhai is not far from Qingyun. He has been there before, but he has never heard of a master named Lei Sanhu. He clasped his fists and said, "I admire you for a long time, Brother Lei and his group want..."
Lei Sanhu touched the dog's fur and grinned with a scary smile, "Two, let's ask, you have hunted Kwai Ting Sand Cypress."
Lin Zhiyu and Feng Delu were both stunned and couldn't help but touch the gun. The so-called wealth was in full swing. In Qingyundu, the market price of a Kuiqing Sandai is generally above ten gold yuan, and it is often not worth it.
Lei Sanhu spread his hands and said, "Don't misunderstand, we are not gangsters, we really need Kwai Ting Sha Naked, so we have to catch up and ask you two. We are willing to pay... 20-dollar purchase, we will pay the money and deliver the goods at the same time. If the two feel that the price is not satisfactory, we have to discuss it."
Lin Zhiyu looked at Feng Delu, Feng Delu thought softly and nodded slowly. Although Kuiqing Sha Naked was sought after, they brought it back to Qingyundu. The evaluation in the hall was generally just over ten gold yuan, and selling it to Lei Sanhu for twenty-fifth yuan was a big profit from Lin Zhiyu's perspective.
Although the hunting hall stipulates that prey cannot be bought and sold privately, it is stipulated that it is dead and it is impossible to take into account all aspects. Lei Sanhu and the other four have obviously confirmed that they have hunted Kwai Ting Sha Naked. If they refuse blindly and really take action, they may not be able to protect the Kwai Ting Sha Naked.
Lin Zhiyu picked up a leather bag from the side of the horse. The dog in front of Lei Sanhu immediately stood up and barked. Lei Sanhu patted his forehead lightly and then fell on the horse's back again.
"Brother Lei, I have a problem before the transaction." Lin Zhiyu shook the leather bag in his hand. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it should be a snake-shaped creature inside.
Lei Sanhu grinned and said, "Little brother, please speak. As long as I can say, I will not hide it."
Lin Zhiyu pointed to the dog on Lei Sanhu's back and said, "Can Brother Lei's dog look for Kuiqing Sand Cypress in the desert?" Lin Zhiyu had long been suspicious of this small gray dog.
Lei Sanhu stroked the head of the gray dog and said, "I have a sharp vision. My special training... can indeed smell the smell of Kwai Tin Sand Anaconda. It was also under its guidance that we were able to chase them all the way."
Lin Zhiyu urged him to move forward. When the two sides were about fifteen meters apart, they threw the leather bag over. A man behind Lei Sanhu jumped up from the horse's back and steadily took the leather bag into his hand. He carefully opened the bag's mouth, glanced in a few seconds, and then nodded to Lei Sanhu with certainty: "The separation of the head and body is indeed Kuaiqing Sanhu."
Lei Sanhu let out a sigh of relief, waved his hand and said, "It's Kyusing Sha Anaconda, pay!"
The man hung the leather bag solemnly behind the saddle, ordered another twenty-fifth of hardware, took out a small black leather bag and put it in it, walked up to Lin Zhiyu's horse, threw it to Lin Zhiyu and said, "Little brother, click a little."
Lin Zhiyu took the purse and put it in his arms and said, "I believe in Brother Lei, so there is no need to order it."
Lei Sanhu laughed and said, "Okay, I like this pleasure little brother. If you have time to go to Linhaidu in the future, you can go to Xingyue Pavilion to find me. I will invite you to drink! Lao Lei, I have urgent matters, so I won't waste your time." After that, the four of them turned their horses and galloped away like the wind along the way, and soon disappeared behind the sand dunes.
Zhiyu and Feng Delu, who had been watching their figure disappear behind the sand dunes, were truly relieved. The pressure given to them by these four people and four horses was really great. Even if the two sides were dozens of steps away, there was always a feeling that as long as the other party wanted to take action, the party would immediately come. Fortunately, the Lei Sanhu and the four people were not evil, otherwise, the two of them and even the entire team might be in danger of destruction.
Even if Lin Zhiyu believes that he has a life-saving trump card, once he uses it, he can't even silence Feng Delu and the others. The result of his inability to do so is that he may have to take his mother and sister away and live in a foreign land with hidden names.
"Huh, his mother is so scary." Feng Delu let out a long breath, took out the pipe from his pocket, lit it trembled, took a few deep breaths, and felt that his emotions had stabilized.
"These four people should be masters of hot and cold weapons, and they also have rhinoceros and wings. We can't even run away even if we want to." Lin Zhiyu slid down from the horse and sat on the sand and said. Although this was a bit hot, he didn't care about so much at this time.
"Zhiyu, I really didn't realize that you are like this..." Feng Delu for a moment forgot what words to describe. At that time, he was really worried that Lin Zhiyu could not withstand the pressure from the other party at that time. If the old side showed that he was too weak, then a normal transaction would probably turn into a robbery or even a robbery of money!
Similar examples can be said to be countless in the history of Qingyundu. Feng Delu didn't have to think about it deliberately, and he could give Lin Zhiyu ten or eight examples.
Lin Zhiyu took a few deep breaths. The hot and dry air made his throat uncomfortable, but it also made him feel his existence. The confrontation between the two sides was actually not long, and the two sides only said a few words in total, but in his feeling, it was as long as an hour.
The two of them just sat on the horse and smoked their pipes, and sat on the sand and looked up at the sky with their heads raised.
After a while, Lin Zhiyu turned his head and asked Feng Delu, "Brother Feng, I remember how many rhinoceros winged horses are there in Qingyundu? Do you still remember who owns them?"
Feng Delu slapped his pipe twice before he slowly said: "I can't remember the specific numbers. This beast is hard to tame and expensive. I, Old Feng, can't buy a piece of money I saved in half my life. It's not heartbreaking enough. Well... there will be at least one of the big families in the city. It should be there, and there should be some in several major businesses. It's a lot of money. It's normal for us to not see it in normal times."
Lin Zhiyu nodded. Qingyundu's permanent population is more than 6,000, and the foreign population is often twice that of its population. The number of horses is only a lot higher than that of people. More than ten rhinoceros hornets are indeed too inconspicuous. In the notes left by his father, he mentioned that there was a rhinoceros hornet in the Lin family for the owner to ride out. Perhaps his fourth uncle Lin Yixian rarely left Qingyundu, so it is not well known.
"It's better to be a rhinoceros hornet!" Feng Delu sighed, "Whether it's load, endurance, and speed are much better than our horses. If we were all riding rhinoceros hornets, the saber-toothed lizard would definitely not even chase after them." These horses from the Chen family's hunting hall were actually considered good horses. After all, if the horses who went to the sand to make a living, and if the horses who used to travel for transportation were too bad, it would be no essential difference from those who went to die. But as the saying goes, I'm afraid of comparing goods, and if these two horses were put together, the difference was too obvious.
Lin Zhiyu shrugged and said, "It's just too expensive and I can't buy it."
"I can't afford to buy it! This thing likes to eat meat!" Feng Delu said with anger and said, thinking that this guy really doesn't know how to chat. He doesn't know if the rhinoceros hornet horse is too expensive. If it is cheap, he has to buy one. After all, at some point, it can really save lives with it.
