Chapter 507 You Absolutely Can’t Go
Alishan is a barren mountain located five hundred miles southwest of Laer City.
There are not many people there, and those who go there are basically treasure hunters. Many poor people have no choice, so they go to the mountains to hunt for treasures. If they find good treasures, they can be presented to the Cassirer family and receive generous rewards.
Gu Zheng and the other three checked out of the room and flew directly to the edge of Alishan.
There are approximately twenty-four hours in a day in hell, but the night takes up twenty-two hours. Most of the time is darkness, which makes Gu Zheng very uncomfortable. Even though the spiritual power of hell is better than that of the earth, Gu Zheng is not willing to Staying here, I just want to go back early.
"There is a small town down there, let's go and ask first!"
We soon arrived at Alishan. Alishan is very big. The place Brooke had inquired about before was only Alishan. The specific location was not clear. He still needed to continue asking.
The town was not big, with only two streets, but there were quite a lot of people in the town. The three of them landed nearby and walked over.
The town is not big, but there are many inns. Half of them are inns, and the rest are various grocery stores, mainly selling things used in the mountains. They have everything.
There are anti-insect potions, some climbing trees, and small traps. There are many and varied things.
"You three, are you staying in a hotel or do you want to buy something?"
As soon as the three of them entered the town, someone immediately came up to them and greeted them with a smile.
"Stay in the hotel!"
Brooke replied directly. He originally wanted to inquire about some situations, so naturally he wanted to stay first.
Although there are many inns here, they are all very crude and cannot be compared with those in Lyle City. After staying here, the three of them realized that this is a barrier to entering Alishan. People who go to Alishan will basically come here first.
Because of this, there are so many inns and shops here, all prepared for treasure hunters.
Treasure hunters, unless they are particularly desperate, are generally poor people, so the conditions of the inn are very unusual. Poor people are not willing to stay in a good inn, as long as they have a place to sleep.
Some people even rested outside and did not enter the inn at all.
Although it is dark most of the time in hell, there is still time for rest, but the rest time is completely arranged by yourself. Basically, there are twenty-two hours of darkness, and you can sleep at any time. Unlike the earth, day and night are very distinct, basically All at night.
Brooke went out, while Gu Zheng took out a few ingredients and prepared to make something delicious.
These days, Gu Zheng has also visited some shops in Laer City and bought a lot of ingredients. Although the conditions in Hell are average, the food grows well because there is no pollution.
The days in hell are very short, but because of the existence of the spiritual power of heaven and earth, most of the ingredients here are of high quality. Second-rate food is very common, low-level food is very rare, and there is not a single piece of garbage.
There are some ordinary ones, and even in the city, Gu Zheng bought medium-level ingredients, which is unimaginable on earth.
No wonder Brooke said that, even if someone opens the teleportation array, it is impossible to summon the devil to the earth. The environment in hell is better than the earth. Why should people go there? The earth has no place to attract the devil.
It's a pity that neither the Dark Association nor the Holy See of Light know this, or don't believe it, so they have been guarding the castle and are suspicious of each other.
The ingredients were actually very good. Gu Zheng had used Hell ingredients to make delicacies before. Brooke praised them greatly after eating them, but Hell's overall cooking skills were not good and he wasted these ingredients.
"It smells so good!"
As soon as Gu Zheng was finished, Brooke's voice came from outside. He came back very early, and he didn't know if he had heard any useful information.
"You Chinese have a saying that 'it's better to come sooner than to come sooner', so I won't be polite!"
Brooke sat down directly in front of the table and said with a smile. He still spoke Chinese, and it was very standard Chinese.
"Eat whatever you want, have you found a place?"
Gu Zheng served the delicious food and asked Brooke again. Brooke shook his head slightly: "Not yet. There are several places that can be locked at the moment. I will know after I have to visit them. I have just found a guide. He will lead him." Let’s go!”
Determining a connection point is not that easy and requires repeated verification. Gu Zheng did not speak. He knew that Brooke had been working hard. Besides, only Brooke could do this. He had no way to help Brooke.
In fact, the weapon spirit comes from across the realm, directly from the fairy world to the earth, but that is the method of Master Tiexian. At the level of Master Tiexian, there is no need for any connection points at all, and you can travel to and from all realms at will.
It is a pity that he is too far away from the realm of Master Tiexian. Whether he can reach the realm of Master Tiexian is still unknown.
After eating the delicious food, the butler called over the guide that Master Brooke had found.
The guide is a young man who looks to be in his mid-twenties, not tall, and of yellow race, but his skin is very white. The skin of the hell people is very white. It is probably related to the short daytime, but most of it is night, and the skin is very white. It’s useless for nothing.
"grown ups!"
The guide's name is Wu Suo. He not only has a Chinese face, but also has the same name as a Chinese, which is very simple.
"Lead the way!"
Brooke nodded slightly, and Wu Suo agreed immediately, but then looked at the three of them.
"Just go like this!"
Brooke understood his doubts and immediately added that those who go up the mountain from here are all treasure hunters. There are individual treasure hunters, and there are also groups of three or five. At the same time, there are also rich boys like Brooke who want to experience adventure.
This guide, after noticing Brooke's clothes, had already classified him as a rich man. Only rich men would look for a guide here. Ordinary treasure hunters don't need it at all, and they won't look for it.
No matter what kind of person they are, they always carry a lot of things, big and small bags on their backs. But the three people in front of them, one old, one young and one middle schooler, didn't bring anything. It felt like child's play no matter what.
The older one is the housekeeper, the younger one is Gu Zheng, and Brooke looks less than forty, so he is considered middle-aged.
"Okay!"
After Brooke explained, the guide stopped asking. Since he didn't bring anything, he must not have been in the mountains for long, so he could complete his errand easily.
The guide felt a little excited when he thought of the generous reward given by Brooke. This reward was much higher than his usual income, and it was enough to equal his annual income. This was the main reason why he thought that these people were young men from rich families.
Ordinary treasure hunters are here to make money. Who would be so generous and give so much money to a guide?
The guide was young, his legs and feet were very nimble, and he walked very fast. Not long after they left the town, they entered the mountain. The guide wanted to help the three of them walk slower, but Brooke stopped him and asked him to walk as fast as possible. Brooke needed Get there early to determine if there is a connection point.
The three of them set off at dawn, when the most people set out to enter the mountain. Although the dawn time is very short, more people can gather at dawn. More people entering the mountain also means safer.
Regardless of whether we are friends together or not, when we go into the mountains together, we will feel a sense of security.
Alishan has the same name as Alishan in China, but it is far less beautiful and gentle than Alishan in China. Alishan is very big. It should be said that it is a mountain range. There are no humans living in it, only various beasts and even monsters. beast.
If you encounter ordinary beasts, that's it. Ordinary beasts have no intelligence. Even a single person can deal with them as long as they have the right tools. Several people can round up the beasts and make extra meals for themselves.
But if you want to encounter monsters, you have to ask for luck.
There are two types of monsters. One is the monsters without intelligence. They all have extremely powerful power. Ordinary people are no match for them. They will basically die when they encounter them. When they encounter monsters with intelligence, it is even more difficult. You can't run away. Many monsters have inner elixirs, which are also what the demon gods want. If the existence of monsters is discovered somewhere, demon gods will definitely come to hunt them. All smart monsters expose themselves and wait for it. They are either relocated or hunted.
However, over a long period of time, the places in Alishan that have a high mortality rate and which places are safe have been explored, and the dangerous areas are basically not visited by anyone except treasure hunters who are desperately trying to get rich.
Those who enter will basically escape death.
Even so, there are still many people who go to these dangerous areas. Places that no one has ever been to. Dangerous places also mean that they have more resources, better resources, and are easier to encounter.
Those who survive a narrow escape will definitely be able to exchange for huge wealth and improve the lives of themselves and their families.
Along the way, Gu Zheng and the others encountered several waves of treasure hunters entering the mountains, most of whom were carrying large bags. They were all surprised when they saw the four people who had brought nothing.
Gu Zheng and the others ignored these treasure hunters and let the guide lead them on for six hours before the guide stopped.
"My lord, this is where you are coming!"
The guide looked at Brooke with a smile. Brooke said that he should take him into the mountain to find a few places. He did not mention other places. He mentioned one place first. According to Brooke's description, it was here.
Brooke looked around and nodded slightly. Gu Zheng also looked around. This was an extremely ordinary place. Gu Zheng couldn't see any difference at all.
"Go and rest first. I'll call you if something happens!"
Brooke spoke to the guide, and he kept walking around. Gu Zheng did not move, standing aside and watching him. Only Brooke knew how to find the connection point. Gu Zheng didn't know, so he could only wait.
"Let's go to the next place!"
Half an hour later, Brooke sighed slightly, called the guide, and told him the characteristics of another place. After listening for a while, the guide immediately nodded and set off again.
Looking at his appearance, Gu Zheng knew that this was not the real connection point, but Gu Zheng was not disappointed either.
From the beginning, he did not expect to find the exact place here. That would be too bad luck. After all, the connection points are very rare and cannot be encountered casually.
The second place Brooke mentioned was not far from here, and a few people arrived there more than three hours later.
The result was still disappointing, this was not the place they were looking for.
"Sir, let's eat something before we leave. I'll go find something to eat!"
We have been in the mountain for more than ten hours. The guide is an ordinary person and has been hungry for a long time. He had eaten some dry food before and now he wanted to take a rest and get some game to eat.
"That's fine, but you don't have to go, I'll go instead!"
This time we are talking about Guzheng. The resources in the mountains are still very rich. Along the way, Guzheng saw a lot of inferior ingredients, some ordinary, and a few medium ingredients.
He quietly collected all the common and medium-level ingredients. There were too many inferior ones, so Gu Zheng only found some that he was interested in and didn't want the others.
In front of the guide, Gu Zheng didn't plan to take out the kitchen utensils directly from the prehistoric space. For him, even if he used ready-made things to make food, he could still make extremely delicious dishes.
Gu Zheng left by himself, and soon came back with two things similar to hares and a bunch of unknown grass.
He used the knife brought by the guide to cut a few sticks and deal with the game. Gu Zheng quickly started a fire and started the simplest barbecue.
Although the barbecue was simple, the taste was not ordinary. Gu Zheng used some ingredients found nearby as ingredients, and it also roasted a very fragrant taste. After a while, Brooke and the guide couldn't help but sniffing.
"I have grilled rabbit meat before, but it is far inferior to yours!"
The guide was eating with his mouth full of oil, and he did not forget to praise Gu Zheng. However, the barbecue made by Gu Zheng tasted really good, especially Brook, who was even more surprised. He knew very well that Gu Zheng did not use anything from his space artifact this time, and he purely used nearby materials. In this way, he could still make such delicious food, which was enough to show that his cooking skills had reached a peak.
Gu Zheng's cultivation was not low, and he was really shocked by his good cooking skills.
After eating and drinking, the four of them set off quickly. They drank mountain spring water. The quality of the mountain spring water here was at an ordinary level and was completely drinkable.
The third place, the fourth place, were disappointing again.
The guide was very tired, and Brook asked him to find a way to rest by himself. He, Gu Zheng and the housekeeper closed their eyes and meditated.
After resting, they set off again. The guide felt tired at this time. Although the job paid a lot of money this time, the money was not so easy to get. He did not expect that several people did not bring anything and had to walk in the mountains for so long. He did not know what they were looking for.
The fifth place, the sixth place, still not right.
"No, we must not go here!"
After talking about the seventh place, the guide's face suddenly changed, and then he shook his head quickly. The place Brooke mentioned this time was on the edge of a dangerous area. Although it was on the edge, it was also very dangerous. Generally, no one dared to go there.
So after listening to Brooke, the guide immediately refused. They would never go to a dangerous area. They were not treasure hunters who risked their lives and would not joke with their lives.
