Chapter 848. Traces
In a barren mountain range, more than a dozen families live around a small lake. This is definitely abnormal. Humans are social animals and will only choose such a secluded life unless absolutely necessary.
And the most important thing is that the people He Dongzhui disappeared here, and the bodies of these people are still buried here, so if there are no weird people here, He Dong himself doesn't believe it.
Thinking of this, Ho Tung quietly lurked towards the dozen or so houses. Ho Tung's lurking ability is absolutely top-notch. Even if someone is standing next to him, as long as Ho Tung doesn't want him to find out, others can't.
Discover him.
It was getting dark at this time, which was a good time for covert investigation, so He Dong quietly lurked outside the door of a house, raising his vision and hearing to the limit.
This is a world of cultivation and does not have electric lights and other equipment like the world of science and technology. At this time, this kind of simple-looking oil lamp is burning in the room, and the light is not much worse than that of an electric lamp. It is just that the light is a little unstable.
Through his vision, He Dong saw that there were six people in the family he was investigating, including two elderly couples, a young couple, a half-grown man, and a child who looked to be under one year old.
At this time, the child was already sleeping in his mother's arms, the elderly woman was busy packing something, and the remaining three men, no matter how big or small, were sitting at a small table, with excited expressions on their faces.
"Dad, I want a machete!" When He Dong came here, the first thing he heard was the half-grown man talking.
"Boy, don't use this money arbitrarily. It's reserved for you to get a wife!" Although the young man objected to the young man's words, he still had a deep smile on his face.
"I don't want to get a wife. I just want a machete. Wang Xiaoer next door got a new machete from nowhere that day and showed off it very much. I must compete with him!"
He said directly dissatisfied.
"Second brother, don't you like Xiaohua? I heard that Wang Xiaoer also likes Xiaohua very much." The young man asked with a smile.
"I like it, but I prefer the machete!" The young man hesitated.
"Okay, boss, don't make things difficult for your brother. Second brother, let me accompany you to buy the machete. Let your mother deliver the betrothal gift to Xiaohua's family tomorrow!" At this moment, the old man said
Speak directly.
"That's great. Thank you, dad, thank you, brother!" The young man suddenly became excited when he heard that he could have both.
"Dad, what do you think these people here today do? They look so weird. This is the first time I have seen such people!" the young man suddenly asked out of curiosity.
"They are definitely not ordinary people. Haven't you noticed? These people are not only powerful, but they also smell of blood. In addition, they have brought so many dead people for us to help bury. I think they must have just been here.
It went through a bloody battle." The old man analyzed.
"That big guy looks really scary. He's actually taller than me. I'm the tallest in our village!" the young man said with a sigh.
"We should talk less about these people in the future. I always feel that they are not good people!" At this time, the old woman who was doing housework next to her suddenly interjected.
"What do women know? Where are there good and bad people in this world? We must divide the strong and the weak!" the old man said directly in a low voice.
"Dad, Mom, Brother, we don't care who they are. They just asked us to help bury a few corpses, and they gave us so much money. I really wish they would come more often!" The young man didn't care.
said.
"Okay, that's it for now. Don't discuss it anymore!" The old man immediately put an end to the matter.
Sure enough, the subsequent conversations revolved around shopping, marriage proposals, etc. He Dong listened for a long time and found that there was nothing new, so he immediately changed households. In this way, he almost transferred all sixteen households.
After looking around, he discovered a phenomenon, that is, only the first house he visited knew about the Westerners and the corpses, while the other fifteen households knew nothing.
"It seems that only this family knows the situation, so it will be easy to handle!" Thinking of this, Ho Tung returned directly to the first house again. It was already late at night, and Ho Tung lurked in quietly, and then he didn't know where the ghost was.
Xiao's took control of the old man and brought him into Linglong Tower.
"Master, I don't know who those people are. I was caught by these people the night before yesterday. They gave me a handful of money and asked me to help bury some bodies." The old man who had just woken up immediately confessed to He Dong.
.
"Hmm! Have you seen those people with white skin and blue eyes before?" He Dong continued to ask unwillingly.
"No, although the spiritual world is vast, we have traveled all over the world before, but we have never seen such a race." The old man said with great certainty.
"Well!" He Dong nodded, knowing that those people must have premeditated their appearance here, but the old man and the others did not know about it, so He Dong did not dwell on this issue anymore, but asked about other things, "Just now
You seem to be saying, you used to travel all over the country, but why do you live here now?"
"Master, we used to be members of the Merchant Alliance's escort team. During a mission three hundred years ago, we were attacked and lost our goods. In order to escape punishment from the Merchant Alliance, we hid here!" The old man did not have anything.
He replied cryptically.
"I see. Then do you plan to live here for the rest of your life?" He Dong asked.
"There is nothing we can do about this. Who could tell the merchant alliance is so powerful!" the old man said helplessly.
"Do you have a leader?" He Dong asked again.
"If you want to talk about the leader, I should be considered the leader. I was the captain of this escort team back then!" the old man replied.
"Oh? You are the captain of the escort team? What about your strength? No, why can't I see through your strength at all?" He Dong couldn't help but frowned, because in his eyes, the other party was just like an ordinary person.
, and they are still ordinary people similar to those ordinary people on earth, but He Dong soon became surprised again, because
This is an eleventh-level world. Even a newborn child is almost at the level of the Godhead in terms of strength. Generally, even if he has not cultivated to adulthood, he will still have the strength of the True God. With a little training, he can enter the God King. This is the eleventh level.
The super world has the unique advantage that there will never be ordinary people who are the same as ordinary people on earth.
"The master can't see through my strength mainly because of this thing!" The old man said, reaching out and taking out a small green fruit.
"What is this?" He Dong asked, eyes wide.
"This is the fruit of the Hidden Grass. We call it the Hidden Fruit. Every time you take one, you can hide your breath, momentum and strength within a year, and become more ordinary than ordinary people! And we actually rely on it.
Only with this invisibility fruit can we escape the pursuit of the Merchant Alliance." The old man answered truthfully.
"This is really a good thing! Is there a lot of it?" He Dong couldn't help but nodded, and then looked around, because when he and Chameleon tracked here, Chameleon said that there is a plant here that can
To mask the smell, it appears to be this kind of invisible grass.
"There are a lot of this kind of invisible grasses, but it is definitely not too much. And after hundreds of years of exploration, we found that it only grows in this area. To be precise, it grows around this lake.
If it is transplanted to another place, it will die the next day." The old man answered truthfully.
"Oh?" He Dong couldn't help but nodded, thinking to himself, there seems to be something unusual about this lake or its water, and someone should check it out.
This kind of thing has become very simple for He Dong. In the world of cultivation, if you want to check something, you will soon need to conduct an experiment. But in the world of science and technology, this is as easy as flipping your hands, so
He Dong directly collected some lake water and hidden grass, threw the hidden fruit into Linglong Tower, and ignored it.
"Although you were the captain before, do those people still listen to you now?" He Dong suddenly asked again.
"Of course, speaking of it, we originally had more than thirty brothers who escaped, but over the years, due to the pursuit by the Merchant Alliance and other reasons, there are only sixteen of us left. All of us are
The friendship that came out of the blood together is definitely a life-long friendship!" the old man answered truthfully.
"That's good. By the way, what kind of strength do you have now?" He Dong suddenly asked again, because since he has controlled the old man, he doesn't want to waste it, but before using them, this strength is also the most important.
crucial.
"I am in the middle stage of the Sacred Realm, and the other fifteen brothers are in the early stage of the Sacred Realm! Among our children, the strongest ones are also in the early stage of the Sacred Realm." The old man said in great detail.
"Very well, let's do this. You don't all need to stay here. I still control a few worlds, and I will send your family to live in other worlds. As for you, just take your old brothers with you.
Get me a business alliance! Let's call it... let's call it Prosperous China." He Dong thought for a moment, and then said, at the same time, the words business alliance, business, and business war came to He Dong's mind.
"Let's create a business alliance? China in the prosperous age?" He Dong's words made the old man stunned. Is this business alliance just a thing?
"Don't worry, since I said it, there must be a way. What you have to do now is to settle down your family first. By the way, if you have time, write me everything you know about the business alliance.
Come out!" Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in every battle. This is a principle that Ho Tung has never forgotten.
