Chapter 568: Exotic Ritual
Ming Qi laughed out loud without changing his face, "This elder is very right, the master who can shoot strange arrows also has his shortcomings. www.biquge.info The reason why these bone-eating bees hibernate in summer is not because they don't need to eat, but because this oasis has always been extinct in the summer, and food is scarce, so they have to resort to summer hibernation to deal with it. But if they are fed with a small piece of bone, their appetite will be aroused in an instant. They will also transition out of summer hibernation entirely. Their innate power will also be revived. ”
Ming Qi deduced from the old man's sharp words that he had just rebuked the crossbowman that although these clansmen had worshipped the bone-eating bees as gods for generations, they did not know much about the true habits of these bone-eating bees because of this heartfelt awe, so Ming Qi made another bold bet and made up a false statement to tell them.
His eloquence and swagger between them showed no fear, and it frightened the men, making them think that there was a real bone-eating bee in the hive. And the summer hibernation of those bone-eating bees can also be easily solved using the method mentioned by Ming Qi.
Maybe they're already thinking about whether to retreat right now.
Ming Qi could only tighten these demons. All because as long as they can't get the branches and leaves of the dipterocarp tree, these bone-eating bees will continue to sleep in the summer. Then they would not be able to threaten these enemies and say how to get out of this oasis. Waking up these bone-eating bees is the only way they can save themselves.
The aroma of dipterocarp trees that constantly emanates from the deep has been lingering between the breath of Mingqi. The more you expose your desire to get these leaves, the more they will catch on your weaknesses. For example, when he said that he wanted to get the dipterocarp branches, it naturally occurred to them that borneol had a cooling effect, and that they might use it to wake up these bone-eating wasps. There had to be an excuse that could deal with all of their associations. But the excuse that came out of thin air is as hard to find as the outlet for this oasis.
Until, behind those people, several people came in a queue carrying a corpse and approached them.
Ming Qi saw the leader who had been paying attention to his face, and the corner of his eye twitched upwards when he saw the corpse. Although he tried his best to hide it, Naruki felt that he could feel his sadness.
This corpse must have been a very large figure, and his arrival had simply taken away all the chieftain's worries about the bone-eating bee in Mingqi's hands. Only the crossbowman, after a slight glance at the corpse, still focused on Ming Qi again, but Ming Qi no longer looked at him, but instead concentrated on the bustle on the leader's side. The crossbowman hadn't taken his eyes off him yet, but that had become irrelevant.
Because the leader had already gathered all the people around him in front of the corpse, and made a few strange movements, Ming Qi guessed that they should salute the corpse. Then the circle of men suddenly spread out from the middle to the sides, causing a man at the end of the line to walk in, holding something that looked like Sassanid glassware, but because it was not transparent, Ming Qi could not see what was hidden in it or that it was completely empty.
Then, Ming Qi thought of the various strange ways in which these foreign countries handled corpses, and suddenly felt that he had found a hint of fun, and folded his arms in front of his chest, watching carefully. Then, the man who walked in from the back of the line slowed down, holding the glass he was holding flat above the corpse's head, making circular motions back and forth. In fact, his actions really don't deserve it, back and forth these words. Because just one "come" action has taken almost half an hour.
While Ming Qi was thinking about this, he hadn't done that "go" yet. But just when Ming Qi thought he would continue to make all kinds of strange gestures slowly, he suddenly opened the lid of the Sasanian glassware. A snort-punching dipterocarp aroma overflowed from it. In an instant, the entire forest was filled.
Ming Qi's pair of heroic eyebrows trembled, and it turned out to be dipterocarp. It's incredibly exciting to see how many of these things exist when you want them most. Even if you want to get it...... It's still hard, it's hard.
But it is also true that their presence is much more convenient than the borneol that can only be obtained by boiling the branches and leaves of the dipterocarp tree.
It will also be more convenient to grab it.
Next, the scrawny pair of hands took dipterocarp from the Persian Sassanid glassware and began to paint the corpse's forehead. At this time, Ming Qi found that the fatal wound of this corpse happened to be on the forehead, although he was far away from the corpse, but he was already able to clearly identify that it was a wound from a bow and arrow, and the wound on the three edges should be caused by his own sharp arrow. And especially at this distance, he could see that his arrow was shot quite perfectly, and the recipient of the arrow was killed on the spot, which was a perfect example of death under his arrow.
After Ming Qi figured out the connection between him and the corpse, he stared at the corpse for a long time, sighing in his heart, thinking that it was the worst thing for him to use up those arrows, and now he had to rejoice that the quiver behind his back was only a wooden arrow he had cut out of a branch. Since one of his lieutenants had been using such a wooden arrow against the enemy at the beginning, it was natural for these people in front of him to be confused, thinking that he was that person and would definitely not be the murderer who shot this corpse. In this way, the negotiations between them, which were still peaceful, could continue.
"Are you going to stay here so peacefully? The crossbowman, who had been watching Ming Qi but not speaking, suddenly spoke, but his voice was very soft, and the content of his words should not have passed through the sixth ear.
Ming Qi was not at all surprised that he could discover this secret, after all, this crossbowman was a master of playing with bows and arrows, and this kind of thing like all weapons in the world can be judged from his strength, position, and time of death. But obviously, this crossbowman's exposure of Ming Qi is quite subtle.
This made Ming Qi feel deeply puzzled. In fact, the source of this doubt has been growing wildly in Mingqi's mind since it was mentioned by Shanxiu.
Was this a temptation from a crossbowman? In any case, he would actively cooperate with his temptation. If necessary, then do it delicately and appropriately for my use.
Because what he needs most at this time is a helper. For some reason, Ming Qi has always felt in his own mind that even this crossbowman does not know the path to really be able to get out of this oasis. Thinking of this, Ming Qi's gaze added a slight smile, which was his usual hanging, "What? Do I look like a master outside the world? This look, the atmosphere around this body is really making people day after night, it is difficult to calm down, and there is no way for everyone to worship and admire." ”
