Chapter 1361: Chapter 1341: The Deep Mountain Guardian
"Hello everyone, first of all, let me introduce myself. I am Wang Dahai, the biggest snakehead in the southwest of Huaxia, bordering the Endless Deep Mountains, with the strongest forces under my command!"
"We have strategic partnerships with top experts from multiple ancient martial arts families and forces. Among them are Celestial Gods, Half-step Divine Kings, and even Divine Kings!"
"Over the past ten years, under my command and with their formidable strength, I, Wang Dahai, have safely escorted over ten thousand customers into the deep mountains."
"I can assure you, in this vicinity, no snakehead’s team has a ’smuggling’ success rate higher than mine!"
"Of course, accordingly, the fees I charge are also very high."
"Five million to start! Moreover, I don’t guarantee that everyone can be sent into the deep mountains. Whether you can get in depends on your luck. If you don’t make it, I won’t refund your money. Please think it over before paying!"
Beside the winding path, on a giant boulder, sat a portly middle-aged man wearing a God of Wealth hat—Wang Dahai, holding a microphone, introducing his identity and services to those present.
Ye Huan listened and rolled his eyes, feeling his intelligence was insulted.
Wanting to enter the deep mountains through Wang Dahai, starting at five million, such a high price is one thing, but not succeeding and not getting a refund? Isn’t it a loss?
"Hey, little brother, you don’t seem to get it!" Wang Dahai, as if knowing what Ye Huan was thinking, chuckled, looked at Ye Huan, and said, "Since you’ve come here, I suppose you have a pretty good understanding of the ancient martial deep mountains, right?"
"Not really."
Ye Huan replied.
Nearby, Huang Lin, who wore a veil and didn’t reveal his true face, laughed out loud upon hearing Ye Huan’s words, his eyes full of disdain for Ye Huan.
Not understanding the ancient martial deep mountains of Huaxia and coming here, isn’t that asking for trouble?
Ye Huan had already noticed Huang Lin but didn’t want to waste time bothering with him.
Ye Huan was naturally somewhat knowledgeable about the ancient martial deep mountains.
The reason he said "not really" was simply to extract some information from Wang Dahai.
"Little brother, since you don’t understand, let me tell you."
"The outskirts of the deep mountains are always guarded by the Guardian army, who are like the Imperial army, preventing anyone from stepping onto this piece of land of Endless Deep Mountains. So, to enter the deep mountains, we must break through the layers of blockades of the Guardian army!"
"And within the Guardian army, the weakest are at the Celestial God level, where ordinary Guardians are at the Half-step Divine King level, while the strongest can reach the Initial and Intermediate Divine King tiers."
"Moreover, they aren’t ordinary Celestial Gods and Divine Kings, but elite warriors long trained by six Half-step Martial Saints, which are Huaxia’s six Order Guardians. I don’t need to explain how valuable being a Half-step Martial Saint is, right?"
"In short, the Guardians each possess formidable strength, with many even capable of challenging levels beyond their own, their combat abilities akin to seasoned pro!"
"Under these circumstances, it’s nearly impossible for ordinary people to pass through their blockades and enter the deep mountains, and in history, there’s never been anyone who could single-handedly bypass the impregnable wall formed by the Guardians."
"Therefore, to enter the deep mountains, seeking assistance from local snakeheads is a must."
At this point, Wang Dahai thumped his chest vigorously and proudly said, "And I am the biggest snakehead!"
Ye Huan was slightly surprised. Just to go into the mountains, are there this many tricks?
Moreover, given the strength of the Guardians, what assistance can this snakehead with no ancient martial prowess provide?
Wang Dahai, seemingly seeing through everything, gave a mysterious smile and spoke again.
"Snakeheads organize the strong under them and paying ’smugglers’ into a team, letting them enter the deep mountains together. Then, when encountering Guardians, they scatter, each fleeing into the mountains. Snakehead strongmen stay behind to engage with the Guardians, buying time to give ’smugglers’ a better chance to escape in."
"Those with bad luck will be chased down by Guardians, losing the chance to enter the deep mountains."
"The Guardians, when they strike, do so without mercy. Those responsible for delaying are often beaten into the ICU, which is extremely costly, hence the high fees."
"I organize one mountain entry monthly, forming four teams each time, and these teams have four levels: B, A, S, SSS."
"The higher the team’s level, the stronger and better the quality of the strongmen in it. Therefore, there are more strongmen delaying the Guardians, prolonging the time, increasing the chances of breaking through and sneaking into the deep mountains. Correspondingly, the fee is higher: B-SSS, entry fee is 500W, 1000W, 2000W, 5000W!"
"Among them, the SSS-level team has a successful probability of sneaking into the deep mountains up to 50%!"
Wang Dahai made a "5" gesture, his expression turning proud again.
Ye Huan rolled his eyes once more, again feeling his intelligence was insulted, spending 50 million just for a 50% chance?
Although Ye Huan has more money than he can spend, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to throw it away!
Initially, he considered joining the snakehead’s team, but upon hearing these costs and the snakehead’s method, he instantly dismissed the idea.
The strategy of snakeheads scattering is quite good, capable of catching the deep mountain Guardians off guard.
However, before encountering Guardians, no one can predict how many Guardians there will be.
Once the number of Guardians exceeds the number of strongmen in the snakehead team, inevitably some paying members would be captured by Guardians, which is entirely a gamble of luck.
This unnecessary expenditure need not be incurred.
Moreover, Ye Huan’s primary purpose for coming to the Endless Deep Mountains this time is to train, to improve his strength. If he can’t break through the first mountain entry with his own abilities, how can he talk about challenging deep mountain talents afterward?
"Confident?" Ye Huan softly asked Empress.
Empress understood Ye Huan’s intent, her eyes igniting with a fighting spirit, "Yes!"
