Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 138: The Heart of Capturing Demons
After Gong Tianwu finished speaking, he placed the four or five medicines he brought on the counter next to him.

As soon as these medicines were taken out, the air was immediately filled with a fragrant smell that was refreshing and pleasant.

Wu Xiong stared at one of the objects, and then muttered:

"No way? This, this is?"

Gong Tianwu smiled secretly in his heart, but explained with a look of surprise:
"This is called Hundred Years of Molten Milk. It is a natural treasure that can only be found near volcanoes. It is said that jade such as jade has been infiltrated by spiritual energy, and then dissolved at high temperatures and preserved within the stone skin."

Wu Xiong suddenly lost his composure and burst into tears:
"How much is this century-old molten milk? I want it!!"

Gong Tianwu was not at all surprised by Wu Xiong's loss of composure, as he had sensed the other party's thoughts through the art of reading the gods.

So he looked at the seventh sister, who immediately took out an account book from her bosom and started to look through it, then said with some embarrassment:
"Oh, this hundred-year-old molten milk is not cheap. It comes from the South China Sea. Our purchase price is 744 spirit stones."

Wu Xiong, Crow and others looked at each other in bewilderment. This amount of money was undoubtedly a huge sum that was out of reach for them.

But Wu Xiong's eyes were still full of desire and burning when he looked at the century-old molten milk, because he just smelled the scent of this thing and felt that the shackles in his body began to loosen.

Gong Tianwu was very clear about the principle of putting on a good show. He stood there for a long time with a frown on his face, then gritted his teeth and said:
"Although this thing is expensive, Brother Wu and I hit it off right away. How about this, you take the thing and use it to treat your wound first."

Hearing this, Wu Xiong immediately raised his head in surprise, but Seventh Sister immediately acted surprised and said:
"Sir, this is a loss of more than 700 spirit stones. Your business is a joint venture with many people. How are you going to explain this to your master and the sect?"

Gong Tianwu waved his hand decisively:
"I don't want my share. I will advance the remaining 400 spirit stones to Brother Wu. Brother Wu can pay me back slowly when he has money in the future."

As soon as he said this, Wu Xiong said in a trembling voice:
"How can this be done?"

Gong Tianwu directly pushed the hundred-year-old molten milk over. Seeing that the seventh sister wanted to speak, he immediately scolded her:

"Shut up, stop talking."

The seventh sister pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Gong Tianwu bowed to the stunned Wu Xiong and the other two and said:

"Brother Wu must prepare for his recovery right away, so I won't bother you anymore. We'll meet again another day."

After saying that, he said goodbye and left.

After they walked away, the seventh sister asked Gong Tianwu curiously:

"Sir, although this hundred-year molten milk does not cost more than 700 spirit stones, it is not cheap either. It cost a Satin Butterfly to get it."

"You're investing so much money to win this guy's heart. First, he may not be truly grateful. Second, is it worth the investment?"

Gong Tianwu thought to himself, that’s because you haven’t seen this guy’s power in his heyday. If I didn’t have so much luck, I would have been killed by it long ago.

Moreover, from the perspective of cause and effect, Wu Xiong did not actually provoke himself. He just appeared out of nowhere, secretly ran away, destroyed Wu Xiong's dojo, and stole his resources.

Now that he had taken out a key item like the Hundred Years Molten Milk to make up for it, it could be considered as settling the grudge between the two sides back then - although Wu Xiong himself didn't know this.

As for investment, winning over others, and the like, Gong Tianwu had never really thought about it. At most, he thought of this as a foreshadowing. By making friends with a loyal monster like Wu Xiong, perhaps he could ask him to help transport goods in the future.

***
After settling the cause and effect of the previous life, Gong Tianwu took his seventh sister out for a day of wandering. They were both tired, so they returned to the inn. They found that their three junior brothers had also returned, so they met with everyone and found that they had gained a lot from each other.

Especially Lin Wenguan, who is very good at networking and actually has established connections with another big family in Mujiang City. It should be that he got the relationship from the head of the family.

Gong Tianwu was happy to see this happen, because the market in Mujiang City was too huge. The things he and his friends brought were just a drop in the ocean. Even if they increased tenfold, it would not cause any waves and could be easily swallowed up.

Since there is no competition in fundamental interests among fellow disciples, they will naturally stick together for warmth.

Early the next morning, Gong Tianwu took his seventh sister and headed towards the outside of Mujiang City. Their destination was, of course, the pool where the Zeshen Xiangtao was lurking.

After not having been here for nearly a year, Gong Tianwu had learned all about this person's background.

Zeshen Xiangtao is just his self-proclaimed name. In fact, Xiangliu barbarians call him "Wusige", which is a highly insulting nickname, probably similar to the human saying "worse than pigs and dogs".

Because when Xiang Tao just came of age, he killed his own brother and ate him alive in order to fight for a moon flower. Later, Xiang Tao seemed to be addicted to the feeling of hunting his own people. He killed at least eight people in the tribe by surprise. It was not until he was involved in the political struggle within the tribe that his evil deeds were discovered.

At that time, the Xiangliu barbarians were in turmoil and the tribesmen were extremely angry, but Xiang Tao still persuaded the leader: Xiang Ba, to give it a way out and imprison it here forever to suffer.

The only reason Xiang Tao was able to survive was that he knew the whereabouts of the Xiangliu clan's sacred object: the Gonggong Seal.

If he kills it, then Xiang Ba will miss out on it. But once he has this thing, Xiang Ba has a 100% chance of successfully ascending to the upper realm! !

Not only that, Gong Tianwu also received a top-secret piece of information, that is, Ze Shen Xiangtao had practiced a special spiritual secret technique.

The reason why it can frequently devour its own kind without being exposed is that it relies on this spiritual secret technique to catch the opponent by surprise and directly slaughter the opponent with lightning speed, causing tons of overwhelming damage.

Therefore, when facing such an extremely ferocious monster like Zeshen Xiangtao, Gong Tianwu must have been on high alert.

Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't do anything stupid. After all, I am one of its few external contact channels.
But this guy is not normal at all. Would a normal monster hunt and kill seven or eight of his own kind?

Under such circumstances, Gong Tianwu still came to the deep pool where Zeshen Xiangtao was.

Before he approached within a hundred meters of the deep pool, he saw the illusion of Zeshen Xiangtao, wearing a crown and in human form, standing beside the pool, with the greedy and hungry light in his eyes no longer able to be concealed.

Fortunately, this time Gong Tianwu's storage bag has been emptied, and the goods are piled up in the warehouse in Dongya District, so the supplies brought to Ze Shen Xiangtao are more than enough, and they are all things that he likes, enough to satisfy this guy's desires.

Gong Tianwu first poured thirty or forty snakes into the deep pool with a "crackling" sound, and immediately saw that the originally mirror-like surface of the deep pool was filled with violent waves!
One of the favorite foods of Zeshen Xiangtao's original body is snakes.

In its words, the taste of swallowing snakes is like humans slurping noodles or rice noodles.

Putting aside the taste, just the silky texture when it goes down your throat is unforgettable.

After eating a big meal of snake noodles, Gong Tianwu then took out three scorpions as big as calves from his storage bag.

This double-tailed scorpion is said to have ancient blood, so it is large in size and tastes like crab, but its tail and claws contain toxins.

Zeshen Xiangtao also ate up all three double-tailed scorpions in a short period of time, which filled the hunger in his stomach and made him half full.

At this time, Gong Tianwu chopped down two dead trees nearby, dragged them over, made a big fire, put the two cleaned cows on it and started grilling them.

Originally, Gong Tianwu's barbecue skills were quite average, but thanks to meeting Zhu Laofei yesterday, he learned from him and then asked him to make some secret sauce, so now Gong Tianwu has started to grill quite well.

The beef is first covered with seasonings, then wrapped in layers of banana leaves and roasted over an open fire.

When the banana leaves wither and turn yellow and black, the flame is immediately extinguished and charcoal grilling is used instead.
At this time, put a plate there, grill it for a few minutes, and then use a knife to cut a piece of meat directly. Before long, you will have a full piece of meat.

Gong Tianwu brought a plate of meat and a pot of wine to Zeshen Xiangtao. This guy took the pot of wine, tilted his head back and gulped it down. At the same time, he shouted that it was not enough and asked for another pot of wine.

This time, Gong Tianwu roasted three cows and drank more than ten jars of wine, which finally made this guy full.

Next, Gong Tianwu took out some medicinal herbs, utensils and other things and piled them on the shore. Of course, these things were also specifically requested by Xiang Tao.

Xiang Tao looked back and forth for a few times, then said to Gong Tianwu:
"Why is the Yellow Bamboo I want not available?"

Gong Tianwu shrugged and said:
"I tried my best, but I couldn't find any solution."

Xiang Tao suddenly became very anxious and roared loudly:

"How could it be possible that we didn't find it? How could it be possible that it didn't exist?"

Gong Tianwu stood up, stared into Xiang Tao's eyes and said word by word:
"Since I have promised, I will definitely look for it. Whether I find it or not has nothing to do with me. The only thing I can guarantee is that I have tried my best."

From the deep pool behind Xiang Tao, there suddenly came a huge tidal sound like a tsunami, but Gong Tianwu acted as if he didn't hear it and still stared at Xiang Tao's eyes.

Gong Tianwu was very clear in his mind that the guy in front of him was a brutal pervert who even enjoyed eating his own people. So when facing him, he must stick to his principles and bottom line.

Otherwise, if you show weakness in front of it, you might be taken advantage of by its mysterious spiritual arts.
