Liu Zheng knew Reheman's hesitation at this time.
In the Loulan Kingdom ahead, the situation is changing day by day.
He is responsible for the escort mission of the Seventh Prince. At this time, he will return to Yinzhou to reorganize and hit the road again? Even if the troops are strengthened, this back and forth will delay another month. But what about moving on? The wolves can attack at any time. If the camels are gone by then, they will really be dead in the desert.
Liu Zheng muttered: "Lord Reheman, Liu Zheng may have an idea."
Reheman was overjoyed: "Master, how can you teach me?"
Suddenly, Reheman's eyes shone, and he was shocked. He stared at Liu Zheng: "Young Master is Mr. Liu of Yinzhou, Liuzhou Tong?"
When he said this. He deliberately suppressed his voice, but still couldn't hide the shock in his heart. Who hasn’t heard of Master Liu, Tong Liu, and anyone who is doing business in Liangzhou? It's just that Zheng Yueru and Liu Zheng concealed their identities when they joined the camel team in order not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Liu Zheng smiled slightly and glanced at Reheman unexpectedly. He felt that although Reheman looked tall and thick, he was quite delicate in his heart. He knew that he did not want to reveal his identity, so he deliberately lowered his voice. He felt good in his heart and nodded. .
Reheman was ecstatic, and then he realized that the weak Long Yanren he had ridiculed along the way was actually the famous Mr. Liu. He immediately stood up and wanted to apologize, but was suppressed by Liu Zheng. Reheman was very excited and enthusiastically invited Liu Zheng to the rest camp of their team. Among the guards, there were two children surrounding them. At this time, their big eyes flashed and they looked at Liu Zheng curiously. One of the boys looked sixteen years old, and the other was taller and stronger. He seemed to be the child's personal bodyguard.
When he saw the stranger coming in, he nervously guarded the boy.
Reheman said happily: "Master Liu, this is our third prince of Loulan, Halik!"
He knew Liu Zheng's reputation, so he did not doubt it. He bowed deeply and said, "Master Liu saved us. When the third prince comes to Loulan, we will definitely thank you very much!"
Unexpectedly, before Reheman could say anything, the guards immediately glared at Liu Zheng.
"Reheman, are you crazy?"
"How can the identity of the third prince be revealed so easily?"
"How can you trust a Longyan person?"
Reheman said angrily: "Otherwise, who can do anything? Mr. Liu is famous, so he must not be such a villain!"
Everyone didn't believe it, and they were all angry. Some people even showed their murderous intentions, and their hands were on the sword, which was about to fall on their head. All of a sudden, the atmosphere here became tense. Liu Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that Loulan was indeed a bloodthirsty nation, where strength was supreme. Even this small team was so disunited that it was easy for them to fight within themselves.
Is this the reason why Loulan cannot become truly powerful enough to threaten the Longyan Dynasty even though he has the right time and place?
Liu Zheng took a breath and said, "I have a way to deal with the wolves."
Everyone was shocked, and immediately mocked: "A Longyan man, can you speak so brazenly?"
"Camels are afraid of wolves, how do you deal with them?"
"Little Huangkou kid, if it weren't for your bodyguard, you would have died from a wolf's mouth!"
So many people have been trying to figure it out for the past half month, but they haven't figured it out yet. A person who enters the desert for the first time is better than them? Of course they don't believe it.
Liu Zheng said calmly: "Everyone, it's not too late to listen to what I have to say. Lord Reheman, can you tell me in detail what happened to the werewolf exorcists?"
Before Reheman could speak, a person next to him sneered: "You don't understand this? The Werewolf is the envoy of the Loulan Kingdom's mysterious religion. I heard that he can communicate with animals and livestock and drive animals to fight!"
Liu Zheng frowned: "Be more specific."
He definitely doesn't believe in this god-like thing.
Reheman thought for a moment and said: "Mr. Liu, I know a little bit about it. I heard that what kind of ritual is going to be performed and what kind of medicine is used..."
"drug?"
Liu Zheng's eyes lit up and he said with joy: "That's right!"
The others looked at each other, confused.
Liu Zheng smiled slightly: "If my guess is correct, this must be a contractual relationship with the help of foreign objects."
These people looked confused again.
Liu Zheng already had a rough idea. Since ancient times, humans have relied on a contractual relationship to domesticate animals. This contractual relationship can be formed in many ways. Let’s take animals like wolves and dogs as examples. They have several instincts. During domestication, they can also be called several motivations, which can be used by people.
It can be roughly divided into: eating power, hunting power, group power, exploration power, class power, protection power, freedom power, relaxation power, and sexual power.
Among these motivations, the ones that are easiest to form a contractual relationship are the motivation to eat, the motivation to relax, and the motivation to class.
Unlike wolves in other places, there are not many things in this desert that can fill the bellies of hungry wolves, so Liu Zheng guessed that these hungry wolves have actually lost most of their hunting ability. If they want to fill their stomachs, they need this werewolf to feed them!
Although Liu Zheng didn't know how the wolf-drivers reached such a contractual relationship with the wolves in the beginning, these dynamics must have influenced the later maintenance and trends.
but!
Liu Zheng smiled slightly.
There is absolutely no absolutely reliable contractual relationship in the world!
Especially for cold-blooded animals like hungry wolves, the so-called contractual relationship is just a matter of habit.
"Break the contract!"
Liu Zheng smiled faintly and said four words.
After everyone heard Liu Zheng's explanation of various motivations, they were immediately shocked. When they looked at Liu Zheng's eyes, they were completely different. The Loulan people claimed to have a very good understanding of these animals, but at this time, they felt that the Longyan person in front of them had a more thorough understanding of these wild animals.
Reheman was even more excited: "Master, how do you break it?"
Others also asked questions.
Liu Zheng said: "It's very simple. Just in case, we can choose to set up camp in a place in the desert with a certain amount of advance and retreat to lure the wolves. You and I, form a small team, spread out and ambush, and look for the wolf driver behind!"
A fierce light flashed in his eyes: "Find the werewolf, no matter what, make him injured!"
"Remember, never kill. Forcibly cutting off the contract will only arouse the wolves' motivation to protect and cause rage! At that time, it will be easy to get out of control!"
Everyone was shocked.
"How to avoid it?"
Liu Zheng chuckled: "Weakening its contract will backfire on its owner, stimulate its free power, and make it return to the command of the Wolf King! Kill the Wolf King again, and the dragons will be leaderless and naturally collapse!"
Everyone was immediately convinced and no longer had any doubts in their hearts.
Reheman was even more overjoyed: "Your Highness, if there is no danger this time, Mr. Liu will be the great one."
benefactor!
The third prince, Harik, also stood up and bowed.
Reheman and Liu Zheng immediately gathered together, and Liu Zheng also called Qin Changfeng. He believed that if a pack of wolves attacked, the wolf exorcist must be not far away. The last wolf howl that day could prove this. Things, within one mile!
As long as Qin Changfeng can find his position correctly, he will definitely be able to capture him with his skill!
Liu Zheng asked Qin Changfeng to take out the divine arm crossbow.
In order to cover within one mile, Reheman sent ten Loulan masters to cooperate with Qin Changfeng.
After everything was arranged, Liu Zheng took a deep breath. Following Reheman's loud shout, the camel team set off again. After walking for a while, there was really no Gobi Desert around, and we truly entered the desert. This desert is different from the Gobi Desert. The rolling heat waves hit our faces, making the mouth even more parched. Reheman deliberately slowed down, and at his suggestion, when the sun was about to set, the camel team set up camp near a small sand dune in the desert.
Liu Zheng looked at the sun that was about to set and counted the time in his mind.
When we arrived near Lop Nur, we were actually in another time zone. In this place, the sun rises later and sets later than in the mainland. So, when the sun sets, it's already about nine o'clock in the evening.
He calculated that after the wolf driver encountered resistance last time and the long journey, he would not have much food to feed these hungry wolves. The camel meat from last time would have been eaten long ago. So he must be eager to attack. The best case scenario is that he will attack tonight!
The sun finally sets, and the noise along the way makes people accustomed to being more vigilant.
Liu Zheng called Zheng Yueru to his tent for a drink, which made Zheng Yueru happy and ashamed.
"Watch a show tonight."
Liu Zheng chuckled.
Zheng Yueru was stunned: "What's the show?"
"Wolves devour the Lord!"
Liu Zheng spoke eloquently, and Zheng Yueru's eyes sparkled when he heard it.
At this time, Qin Changfeng had followed Liu Zheng's instructions and lay down on the hill, motionless. The gravel in the desert had covered his body, making the color of his body blend with the desert. It was estimated that Even if you look under the light, you may not be able to tell that there is a person here.
He placed the divine arm crossbow in front of him, like a sniper in later generations.
Qin Changfeng is very patient.
Even though his mouth was dry, he kept his drinking water to a minimum.
For several hours.
Qin Changfeng was feeling sleepy when suddenly several wolf howls were heard in the distance. This cheered him up. He looked up and saw that under the moonlight, in the desert, people's sight range was very wide. He could see wolves in the distance. , running wildly from that side. In fact, the wolves are still a long way away from here.
"There is indeed someone!"
Qin Changfeng is at a high place, so he can naturally see further.
You can vaguely see a figure among the wolves behind them! The man held something like a long staff in his hand, and the largest wolf king followed meekly beside him.
Qin Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and calculated. The werewolf driver stopped about a mile away from him, while most of Reheman's people were farther away. It seems that this task has fallen on me again!
The werewolf driver found a corner and stopped moving forward.
Waving his long staff, the Wolf King howled and led the pack of wolves to attack!
Here in the camp, there was chaos again.
"Wolf attack!"
"Wolf attack!"
"Everyone, be alert!"
Reheman was well prepared, so a pack of wolves came rushing towards him. This time, there was no such embarrassment as last time. Everyone held swords and surrounded the camels, back to back. Facing the attack of the pack of wolves, there was some relief. experience.
"kill!"
"Kill these beasts and avenge my brother!"
Here at the camp, fighting broke out again.
Qin Changfeng's divine arm crossbow was already fully drawn.
Driven by the werewolf exorcists, the wolf king was not far away, giving orders.
After confirming the location of the werewolf again, Qin Changfeng crawled for a distance, found a good angle, stood up like a rabbit, and ran over there silently. The divine arm crossbow was slowly raised.
"Whoosh!"
The crossbow arrow flew out and headed straight for the werewolf's back!
