Chapter 292 Zhu Hui and Gui Huaishan’s entanglement “Finally, it’s here,…
"We're finally here. If we don't get to Guihuai Mountain, I'm going to suspect that my whole body has been marinated with weird flavors." When the Zhuhui caravan got off the car, Zhu Bai also got off. He sniffed his whole body, pouting in disgust but trying hard to hold it back, he complained in a low voice.
Because of the remote location of Guihuai Mountain, there are mountains outside the mountain, and there is only a small wilderness in front of the mountain. If outsiders want to come in, they have to walk through a series of mountains. It happens that these mountains are full of strange energy and weird aura, and the weirdness bred in the mountains is extraordinary.
Even the Zhuhui Caravan had to be cautious when coming in. It wasn't a thrilling situation, but it was definitely not comfortable either.
Zhu Hui heard what Zhu Bai said, raised his eyebrows and said, "Next time, I'll let you be in the front? Lead the way? Lead the way. You have to change your lazy habits when traveling for business."
Zhu Bai curled his lips and stopped talking.
Luhui stared at the ghost claw locust tree on Ghost Locust Mountain without blinking, his eyes almost shining, and completely ignored the conflict between the leader and his friend.
Zhu Hui followed Lv Hui's gaze and what he saw was a huge tree shadow on the top of the mountain.
"I feel excited every time I see the ghost claw locust tree." Zhu Hui sighed subconsciously when he moved his gaze to the ghost claw locust tree. Facts have proved that whatever Zhu Hui raises looks good. Lu Hui, this kid, is not much better because he is jealous of other people's strange plants.
When Zhu Bai heard this, he paused for a few breaths and hesitated for a long time. Finally, he followed the gaze of the other two people and looked towards the top of the mountain.
"Ghost Claw Sophora japonica." Zhu Bai tried to hold back, but still couldn't help being moved. He gently pulled his leader and said, "Boss, when can you get your share of the Ghost Claw Sophora japonica?"
Zhu Bai can only rely on Zhu Hui now. He is not yet an adult and is able to enter Guihuai Mountain because of Zhu Hui's face.
Zhu Bai is very confident in Zhu Hui's abilities.
No confidence? No, Zhu Bai can only trust that Zhu Hui can achieve it.
It's really that the effects of Sophora japonica are too tempting to these traveling merchants.
Taking Ghost Claw Sophora japonica can not only enhance the affinity with the strange power, but also a black mist hand composed of strange power will be born from the back of the strange person who takes it. This mist hand is proficient in yin and yang, and is good at the five elements. Any creature that practices strange power will be more or less bound by the big hand, especially the strangeness in the wilderness.
Because the strange man's whole body was covered with strange power, and the strange power was much more violent than that of the strange man, he was almost naturally defeated by this mist hand.
The tricksters were caught by the fog hand, because of the lingering energy, they would at most be bound for a breath or two and would be able to break free very quickly. Not only would it be difficult for the weirdos to break free, but all the weird power in their bodies would be absorbed by the fog hand, strengthening the fog hand's power. As a result, it would be even more difficult for the weirdos to break free from the fog hand.
The top elves of Guihuai Mountain are because the Ghost Claw Sophora has completely established its foothold in this mountain area and suppressed the evil spirits that are ready to move around.
Zhu Hui wanted it too, but he knew his limitations. He touched his nose and said helplessly, "I want it too, but our caravan doesn't have anything as good as the ghost claw locust tree."
Qingsongzi can barely compare with him in terms of status, but Qingsongzi's level is only Qingyou level now. If you calculate, he is still not comparable.
Even if one is as shameless as Zhu Hui, he would not be able to exchange Qingyou-level strange food for other people's Xueyuan-level strange food. He could only give up for the time being.
Zhu Hui estimated that once the quality of the green pine nuts reached the Blood Grudge level, he would have a reason to go to the Lord of Guihuai Mountain to exchange them.
Zhu Bai was very disappointed after hearing Zhu Hui's words, but it made sense after thinking about it. Their caravan was tempted, and so were other caravans. However, there were only two caravans in the entire Shizhu Village who actually got a share of the Ghost Claw Sophora japonica.
Unfortunately, neither of these two caravans were poisoned by their blood.
One is from the black line bloodline, and the other is from the green poison side.
Zhu Bai couldn't help but hang his head and feel dejected when he reached this point.
If there was the ghost claw locust tree, their caravan would be much safer along the way. The merchant route is dangerous, and there are innumerable monsters on this continent. New monsters will emerge at any time and in any place. No one knows when a powerful monster will suddenly emerge among the merchants.
Even if Zhu Hui is powerful, ordinary Blood Grudge-level monsters are no match for him, and there will still be casualties in the Zhu Hui caravan along the way. This is because the Zhu Hui caravan is in awe of all the unknowns on the continent and only travels on trade routes that are certain to be safe.
Zhu Hui comforted Zhu Bai and said, "We will always have a chance in the future."
Zhu Bai could only listen to Zhu Hui.
The Zhuhui caravan stopped not far from Guihuai Mountain, and the other ghosts set up camp on the spot. Zhu Bailuhui followed Zhuhui to the guards at the intersection of Guihuai Mountain to say hello.
The guards of Guihuai Mountain also have the style of this mountain very much. They have a bit of weirdness in their whole bodies. Their bodies are not as strong as the weirdos of other forces, but rather a bit thin.
"Captain Zhu Hui, long time no see." The guard recognized Zhu Hui's face at first sight. Zhu Hui had been to Guihuai Mountain many times, but he had not been here in recent years.
"It's been quite a few years since your last visit to Mount Taiguihuaishan, right?" The guard's voice was very steady. Judging from his voice, he should be a young man. He was very approachable when he spoke, and it was obvious that he was good at dealing with people. When he spoke, the guard had a gentle smile on his face. This smile successfully dispelled the eerie feeling on his body.
"Qi Ji? Why are you here?" Zhu Hui recognized the guard's identity at a glance. It happened to be someone he knew. Qi Ji was considered a junior of the Guihuai Lord's lineage. Logically, he should be practicing now, but the Guihuai Lord's lineage did not attach much importance to identity. Zhu Hui was not particularly surprised to see Qi Ji running around.
Qi Ji said very calmly: "Today is my day of guarding. I didn't expect you to come to Guihuai Mountain again? What? Did something happen?" The last sentence of Qi Ji was meant to be a test.
Zhu Hui nodded and explained very straightforwardly, "I see. It's nothing. Our caravan should have come here not long ago, but we never had the time. This time we came here to talk to the Ghost Huai Mountain Master."
By the way, the last time Zhu Hui came to Guihuai Mountain was when he was selling laurel seeds. Before that, it was when Zhu Hui came to Guihuai Mountain under the leadership of his caravan leader. To be precise, it cannot be said that Zhu Hui came to Guihuai Mountain. At most, it can be said that Zhu Hui had seen Guihuai Mountain.
The results are obvious.
When Zhu Hui first came to Guihuai Mountain, a portion of moon laurel seeds was not enough to impress the Lord of Guihuai, so Zhu Hui had no choice but to leave.
In the following years, even though the Zhuhui Caravan was doing business in this mountainous area, they rarely took the initiative to come to Guihuai Mountain to trade. Most of the time, they just rested for a while in the wilderness at the foot of the mountain and left quickly.
The guard was also very surprised to hear Zhu Hui's words. He naturally knew Zhu Hui's awkward mood. When Zhu Hui left Guihuai Mountain, he had a dispute with the lord, and Zhu Hui never came back. The lord was also very angry, especially when Yueguizi's reputation outside became more and more prominent, the lord's anger reached its peak.
Qi Ji, as Lord Guihuai's junior, knew that his master was not angry. He was regretting not taking the share of laurel seeds from Zhu Hui. The laurel seeds were now in short supply outside, and even if Lord Guihuai bowed his head, he could not get them.
"Can I ask what's the matter?" Qi Ji paused, then asked again tentatively. Because of the influence Zhu Hui had once caused in Guihuai Mountain, the people in Guihuai Mountain were now flattered by Zhu Hui's unintentional visit.
They always had the illusion that if they said something wrong, they would miss out on strange food like bay seeds again, so Qi and his mood were all very strange.
"A business of weird food." Zhu Hui naturally didn't know the feelings of the weirdos in Guihuai Mountain. Of course, even if he knew, he would not take it to heart.
Zhu Hui is essentially still a businessman. Only successful business will leave a mark in his heart. Unsuccessful business is not called business, it can only be called friendship.
Obviously, Zhu Hui had no intention of maintaining the friendship all year round.
The terrifying thing about laurel seeds is not just their ability to sense moonlight, but more importantly, laurel seeds can be taken by young children, which can increase the children's talents. The foundation of a top-level force is that the talents of their descendants are far higher than those of independent cultivators and even other large or small forces.
Guihuai Mountain also has dealings with major forces. The leader of Guihuai Mountain sees other lords laughing about how their juniors' talents are improving and how their moonlight sensing abilities are being cultivated more quickly. How could he not be jealous?
Sometimes a strange meal can make the difference between the two.
"Bay seeds?" Qi Ji's eyes lit up and he asked without hesitation. They had been wanting laurel seeds on the mountain for a long time.
Zhu Hui shook his head and said, "No, the quota for the next few batches of laurel seeds has been fully determined. Even I can't give more."
In fact, Zhu Hui could also take out a portion of laurel seeds, which he kept for emergency use, but he knew that Gui Huaishan wanted a long-term share, which Zhu Hui could not do.
At present, Mingshan is the only force in the entire continent that has a definite share of the two annual laurel seed trades thanks to the black locust seeds, and no other force can do so.
Qiji lowered his eyes in disappointment: "Oh—"
Zhu Hui coughed lightly and said, "We don't have laurel seeds, but our caravan has other strange foods. You can check them out later. Now we want to meet Lord Gui Huai."
When Qi Ji heard Zhu Hui's words, his eyes lit up. He understood what Zhu Hui meant. This time the caravan also brought some strange food related to their talents.
Qi Ji said without hesitation: "The Lord is on the mountain now. I will take you there."
Qi Ji turned around and looked at the guards on the opposite side, signaling them to stay where they were, while he took Zhu Hui and the other two up the mountain.
The group of people arrived at their destination, which was a black cave. On both sides of the cave were stone doors more than ten meters high. There were various strange patterns on the stone doors. The stone doors were wide open, revealing a somewhat desolate cave inside.
Qi Ji first signaled Zhu Hui and his group to wait where they were, and he went in first to visit them. After a while, he came out of the cave and called Zhu Hui and the others to come in.
"The lord agrees to let you in." Qi Ji said with a smile.
Zhu Hui followed Qi Ji into the cave. As he went deeper, the entire appearance of the cave came into his sight.
The entire cave is more like a large area deep in a cliff than a cave. Inside the cave are smooth stone walls with small caves carved out on them like Buddhist niches.
Just as Zhu Hui and his group came in, a black shadow with a strange aura quietly fell from the largest Buddhist shrine cave at the top of the mountain wall.
