Chapter 650: 641, Fierce Dragon Crossing River (Second Update)_1

It was at this moment that the Divine Punishment System suddenly spoke in Ren He’s mind, "If the wild yaks die due to the host’s death during this mission, for every yak that dies, the host will lose one of the five senses for a month, cumulatively."

Ren He was startled. It seemed that this risky plan was indeed not proper. This was the first time the Divine Punishment System added additional conditions to a mission, but Ren He had no other choice. Without this method, there was no possibility of completing the mission.

The poaching gang was pondering, "10 million? Let me tell you, wild yaks are not worth that much right now!"

Why are falcons so expensive now? Isn’t it because of those tycoons in the Middle East propping the prices? If it weren’t for those tycoons, the normal price of a falcon would probably be just hundreds of thousands of RMB, just like Tibetan Mastiffs, whose prices have been inflated by speculation.

Everyone wants to make a fortune while the trend is hot. If they could save some money, they might have hope for the latter half of their lives.

The burly man across from Ren He furrowed his brows, "What makes us trust you?"

Ren He took a travel bag from his feet and tossed it onto the table, unzipping the bag, and the air seemed to fall silent.

Inside it was a stack of cash; just by looking at the amount, everyone had an idea in their minds.

"One million RMB as a deposit," Ren He said calmly, "In this world, there is nothing more persuasive than cold, hard cash. The remaining 9 million will also be paid with banknotes, unsequentially numbered, upon successful completion of the deal."

The man opposite first had to confirm that this clean-looking young man wasn’t with the police. After all, it wasn’t the police’s style to let a young man carry one million as bait. Just getting approval for the plan and the funds would probably never pass.

But for him to suddenly change his poaching target to wild yaks, he still hesitated. The current industry chain was already well established, and hunting falcons was a reliable way to make money.

In this Desert, capturing two falcons a month for their boss was a stable way to earn money. Catching falcons is easy, but finding them is hard; not all of his brothers are kept just for falcon hunting—they are also for protection!

In this land, their gang was not the only poaching group. They were all desperados, and if they encountered each other on a narrow path, the burly man believed that if he was caught alone with a falcon, the others would definitely make a vicious move to steal the goods.

Who wouldn’t like a hugely profitable venture?

In reality, poaching is not as simple as it’s depicted in the No Man’s Land films. Although everyone generally adheres to the unwritten rule of territorial division—hunting falcons in one’s own territory without encroaching on others—the problem is, can you ensure that the others won’t be tempted by greed?

There are only so many falcons; the larger the territory, the more falcons you’re likely to catch. If there were so many falcons that there was no need to fight for them, why would they need to poach for a living?

Yet, the profits from falcon hunting were not as large as outsiders imagined. Earning two million a month was not as tempting as the immediate ten million RMB.

If hunting falcons could fully satisfy their appetite, he would not need to hesitate at all; he could’ve simply killed Ren He, and that would be the end of it. However, seeing the burly man’s hesitating expression, Ren He knew there was hope.

As the saying goes, money can make the devil turn millstones—Ren He felt he should be considered one of the richest people in the country.

The burly man was still somewhat hesitant. Although everyone said the Wild Yak Whisk had excellent aphrodisiac effects, and its back could extract substances to make potent aphrodisiac drugs, was the thing really worth that much money?

Now, the overly generous offer made him feel uneasy.

He chuckled and said, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll take this money and run away? I see that your car over there doesn’t look half bad either."

When the surrounding men heard their boss say this, they gathered around with sneers, and a short, stocky middle-aged man reached out to grab Ren He’s hair. The burly man waited to see how Ren He would react, and also wanted to see whether the other party’s resilience was genuine.

He didn’t know exactly what kind of reaction he wanted to see from Ren He, just wanted to add a little more weight to his judgment. Whether to do the deal or not still depended on what sort of person Ren He was.

However, before the stocky man’s hand could reach the top of Ren He’s head, he suddenly felt as if his palm were clamped by an iron vice. A gust of wind howled, and the stocky man mentally cursed. That was the sound of a blade slicing through the air, but he had no room or strength to react!

Who could have imagined that this clean-looking young man had such astonishing strength in his arms?

With a thud!

The stocky man suddenly screamed in agony as everyone saw his hand being firmly pressed down on the table by Ren He, followed by a dagger that pierced right through his hand bone and stuck into the table.

The speed was so fast that even these desperados, accustomed to the edge of the knife’s blade for a living, did not respond in time. They clearly understood that the stocky man was one of the strongest in the group, yet he was pinned to the table without a chance to resist!

They weren’t fools; they could all see that Ren He’s skills far exceeded their expectations!

At that moment, Ren He revealed his clean teeth and smiled, "This hand, along with the one million RMB deposit, can be considered a gesture of my sincerity."

When dealing with desperados, Ren He also became ruthless. Wolves would not be willing to keep a lamb among them. In this Desert, if one wanted to do business with a poaching gang, one could not allow oneself to be like prey.

When leaving the Desert, these men had already concealed their guns well, because if they were caught outside with them, just the crime of private gun possession would be too much for them to bear.

Suddenly, two men drew daggers from their waists and stabbed at Ren He from both sides. The way they did it showed that they were not new to bloodshed, and they might even have some cases on their backs!

The man across from Ren He watched everything calmly. Truth be told, Ren He’s move just now made his pupils shrink for a second. The seemingly harmless young man’s action was so ruthless that it took him by surprise.

After living in the Desert for nine years, the burly man had killed and seen bandits, but the utter cold and efficient brutality of this young man across him, who seemed to be untouched by the world, was still somewhat rare.

He wanted to see what kind of character Ren He really was.

Just as the two daggers were about to reach Ren He, he suddenly stood up and threw punches. His fists, moving with a swifter motion than the attackers, landed on the chests of the two men, while their daggers didn’t even touch his body.

The two men tried to switch hands to stab Ren He directly, but somehow, they suddenly felt an excruciating pain in their chests, their bodies involuntarily flying backward!
