126: Chapter 126 Daqingshan
However, a doubt immediately welled up in Chen Hu's heart.
If there were exotic beasts in Daqing Mountain, given the nature of those factions in the Prefecture City, they should have sent people to Daqing Mountain to slay the exotic beasts long ago, right?
Why are they not targeting the exotic beasts in Daqing Mountain?
Even if the factions in the Prefecture City don't target the exotic beasts in Daqing Mountain, surely those in the State City wouldn't pass up the opportunity?
Chen Hu decided to test this.
Thus, he quickly found a sparrow, enslaved it using a Beast Taming Card, and ordered it to fly to Daqing Mountain to check the situation.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, a quarter of an hour went by.
Suddenly, Chen Hu's expression changed slightly, because he discovered that the connection between him and the sparrow had vanished.
In other words, the sparrow that entered Daqing Mountain had most likely died.
"It seems this Daqing Mountain is truly not simple!"
Chen Hu revealed a thoughtful expression and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go, back to the city!"
Storing the white wolf's corpse into his Storage Ring, Chen Hu and his group descended from Little Green Mountain and then rode their horses quickly back to the city.
He dismissed Ye Fan and the others.
Chen Hu then used his Earth Escape Divine Ability to head towards the Inner City.
He arrived at the Huang Family estate and found Huang Yongcheng.
"Greetings, Brother Hu!"
Seeing Chen Hu emerge from the ground of the study, Huang Yongcheng hurriedly offered his respects.
"Old Huang, let me ask you, how much do you know about Daqing Mountain near the Small Mountain Village?"
Hearing the words "Daqing Mountain," Huang Yongcheng's expression changed drastically.
Seeing this, Chen Hu knew he had come to the right person.
Huang Yongcheng spoke slowly: "About eight years ago, villagers from the Small Mountain Village entered Daqing Mountain to hunt. After more than thirty people went in, they all became trapped inside. When the news spread, we all suspected there were exotic beasts in Daqing Mountain.
"Our Huang Family also organized a team to head to Daqing Mountain to investigate. The team leader was at the Late-stage Tendon Refining, accompanied by three at the Mid-stage Tendon Refining, and the remaining dozen or so were all experts at the Meat Refining Stage.
"The result, however, was that after this team entered Daqing Mountain, they vanished without a trace, just like the people sent in by other factions.
"Because the Zhenwu Division and the Prefecture Office also sent people inside.
"So, after their people went in and went missing, the people from the Prefecture Office and the Zhenwu Division passed the news to Lingzhou City.
"Not long after, people came from Lingzhou City.
"This group of people had a full three individuals in the Marrow Refining Realm, and the leader was at the Late Stage Marrow Refining.
"As a result, after they went in, they also became trapped in Daqing Mountain.
"Later, an Organ Refining expert came from Lingzhou City.
"That Organ Refining expert entered Daqing Mountain and only came out after a full three days.
"But after coming out, he fell into a coma.
"He was sent back to Lingzhou by the Zhenwu Division.
"Later, we found out that although that Organ Refining expert woke up after being sent back to Lingzhou, he had gone mad.
"As for what is inside Daqing Mountain, no one knows.
"At the same time, the Lingzhou Governors Office personally issued an order that no one is allowed to enter Daqing Mountain, and furthermore, no one is allowed to discuss Daqing Mountain!"
"Of course, there are no airtight walls in the world.
"There are always people who don't believe in evil.
"Over the years, many people from outside have gone to Daqing Mountain, wanting to uncover the secrets of Daqing Mountain, but without exception, they have all become trapped inside.
"Gradually, everyone learned of the danger of Daqing Mountain, and no one went there to throw their lives away anymore."
After listening to Huang Yongcheng's account, Chen Hu's heart also shivered.
At the same time, he also felt some regret. If he had known this earlier, he shouldn't have killed the white wolf, but rather enslaved it; through it, he might have been able to understand the situation inside Daqing Mountain.
"Brother Hu, don't do anything foolish and run off to Daqing Mountain!"
Huang Yongcheng warned.
"Rest assured, knowing it's dangerous, I won't go there to throw my life away!" Chen Hu said.
He previously wanted to enter Daqing Mountain to capture the exotic beasts inside.
Now, knowing that Daqing Mountain is so dangerous, he certainly won't go to Daqing Mountain to take risks for a few exotic beasts.
However, to be honest, this Daqing Mountain had piqued his curiosity.
"Let's see if I can get intelligence about Daqing Mountain from an intelligence card tonight!"
After escaping underground from the Huang Family and returning to the Fierce Tiger Gang.
Chen Hu summoned the Hall Master of the Internal Affairs Hall and had him find people to process the exotic beast, the white wolf.
A little less than an hour later.
The white wolf was broken down into fur, bones, blood, and meat.
The fur and bones could be sold as high-grade Materials.
As for the wolf blood, Chen Hu had the people from the Internal Affairs Hall make it into blood curd soup and distributed a bowl to every member.
As for the meat, 86 jin of pure meat was separated.
Chen Hu was not stingy; each Elder got two jin, Hall Masters got one jin, Big Leaders got half a jin, and Small Leaders got two taels.
However, Ye Fan, who went to the Small Mountain Village with Chen Hu, was separately allocated five jin, and Da Niu, Er Niu, and Song He each got two jin.
Chen Hu arranged for five jin to be sent to Leader Gao Zhan as well.
After thinking about it, Chen Hu arranged for people to send two jin of wolf meat each to Nangong Hongyan, Sun Lingyue, and Mu Mingzhu.
Chen Hu took the remaining wolf meat home.
The meat of ordinary wolves is very tough, but the meat of an exotic wolf is not; on the contrary, it is exceptionally delicious.
Noon.
Chen Family backyard.
Two steaming copper pots were emitting a spicy, fragrant aroma.
That's right, for lunch today, Chen Hu planned to have wolf meat hotpot.
Currently, there are exactly 15 people in Chen Hu's household.
They are the eight Maids sent by the Huang Family, Widow Wang and her sister, Qianxue and Qianyu sisters, the pair of Maids under Princess Yang Xianer enslaved via the loyalty card, plus Chen Hu, making exactly 15 people.
As for Ye Fan in the front yard, after he took the position of Hall Master in the Fierce Tiger Gang, he moved out.
"Everyone, let's eat!"
Chen Hu first picked up a thinly sliced piece of wolf meat and swished it in the boiling red soup of the pot.
He waited for more than ten seconds before fishing it out.
Not minding the heat, he put it directly into his mouth, chewed a few times, swallowed it in one gulp, and then nodded with satisfaction: "Delicious!"
The women also started using their chopsticks.
The fresh exotic beast meat tasted even more delicious.
All the women were conquered by the delicious taste.
However, after finishing the hotpot meal, the women all went to practice their boxing or Cultivate.
Mainly because the energy contained in the wolf meat was too strong.
Fortunately, the energy in the exotic beast meat was relatively gentle.
Even if they ate too much, they wouldn't explode; at most, it would just be wasted.
This is why, just after finishing their meal, the women were eager to Cultivate, not wanting to waste the energy from the exotic beast meat.
As for Chen Hu, he didn't Cultivate.
His Physical Body was too strong; by relying solely on instinct to absorb, he could completely absorb the exotic beast meat he ate into his stomach.
On the other side.
Nangong Family.
Nangong Hongyan used a portion of the exotic wolf meat sent by Chen Hu to stir-fry a dish.
Although not many seasonings were used, the aroma emitted by this dish still far exceeded that of ordinary dishes.
"Young Miss, Young Master Chen is really good to you, actually sending you two jin of Tier 2 exotic beast meat!" Maid said with envy.
"Alright, come and eat some too!"
Nangong Hongyan beckoned.
"That wouldn't be good!" Maid swallowed her saliva and said.
"Since you don't want to eat, I'll eat it all!" Nangong Hongyan teased Maid on purpose.
"Since Young Miss has let me eat, how could this servant have the right to refuse!"
Zhenwu Division.
After Chen Hu sent two jin of exotic beast meat to Sun Lingyue, she became the focus of everyone's attention.
It was hard to wait until noon.
She called her father and Senior Brother Chen Wu to return to the martial arts hall, preparing to taste the exotic beast meat.
And this news also reached Luo Ningshuang's ears.
She couldn't help but pout sourly: "This guy Chen Hu is really willing to spend big to woo girls!"
