Chapter 127: The East Palace Tribe
Hearing Li Xin'an's inquiry, the holy woman replied: "You don't need to believe me, this is just a request of mine, our people all believe in the god of fire too much, and I can't leave the tribe, I can only ask you for help."
If the god of fire awakens and discovers through the Holy Fire that we have stolen his power, he will directly use his divine power to burn us to ashes, and everyone in our tribe, including the children, will die. ”
Li Xin'an pondered for a moment and shook his head, and responded, "I really want to help you, but I won't go to the Sand Region." ”
At this time, he had already believed what the Holy Maiden said, although he really wanted to help the Donggong tribe, but he had the Fire God Ding, and now that he knew these things, he would try to stay away from the Fire God, so naturally he would not go to the Sand Domain.
The Holy Maiden replied, "Then please help me find someone else after you arrive in Zhongzhou and bring this holy fire to the sand region to be destroyed." ”
Li Xin'an thought for a while and replied, "Okay, I will." ”
The saintess handed the flame to Li Xin'an, who observed for a moment and directly withdrew the flame into the ink snow.
At this time, the holy woman put on her veil again and knelt on the ground: "Thank you for your help and saving the lives of thousands of people in our Donggong tribe. ”
Li Xin'an hurriedly helped the saint up and said, "It's just a gesture, I admire you very much."
The saints of each generation of you are truly great, guarding this secret alone, listening to the whispers of the fire god, and worrying about the future of the Donggong tribe. ”
The holy woman said: "There is always someone who wants to do these things, I am a member of the Donggong tribe, and I should contribute to the Donggong tribe." ”
Li Xin'an said: "Sticking to the time of a lifetime is not something that ordinary people can do.
But in addition to bringing this sacred fire to the sands, you must also gradually break away from your belief in the god of fire and lead your people to live with other people.
This stolen power is not your own after all. ”
The saint nodded and replied, "I will, I will tell everyone this secret step by step."
In the end, he gave up his belief in the god of fire and went to live in Zhongzhou. Thank you for helping me with the most important step.
I'm curious, your abilities are strange enough to be sensed by me.
When I heard the Vulcan whisper before, the flame had fluctuated violently, and there were some changes, and the flame that burned me was very similar to the flame that emanated from your body just now.
If the Vulcan awakens, I suspect that the Vulcan will find you through the flames, so you need to be careful. ”
Li Xin'an replied: "Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention." ”
At this time, the holy woman took out an animal skin bag from her spacious sleeve and handed it to Li Xin'an, and said: "This is a deep-sea pearl obtained by the people of the tribe in the sea, which contains a strong spirituality and can nourish the energy that is learned. ”
Li Xin'an took it and took a look, and found that it was full of black pearls, each of which was very round, and as soon as he opened the bag, he felt a wave of heat rushing to his face.
"How did this come about, it contains pure fire energy. ”
The saint said: "I am also very strange about this question, I have thought about it specifically, I think it is because the sea temperature here is low, and this kind of thing grows in the body of the big fish, which is used to store energy and provide heat for the body. ”
Li Xin'an secretly thought to himself: "It just so happens that my Hui Yuan Dan has run out, and there is no way to refine it, so it is better to use this instead for the time being." ”
Then he smiled and said to the holy woman: "Thank you, this is very useful to me. ”
The saint smiled and said, "Haha, if you like it, I'll leave it to you for that matter." ”
Li Xin'an said: "Okay, when I get to Zhongzhou, I will find someone to go to the sand region to destroy your holy fire." ”
At this time, after discussing the matter, both of them relaxed.
The holy woman looked around at the igloo, found the basket with food on the side, saw the ice silkworm inside, and said to Li Xin'an:
"That's the best food of our Donggong tribe, called Ice Silkworm, which feeds on ice pith, rich in spiritual substances, very delicious, and can also strengthen the body, but the number is very small, and it is difficult to find, and I can only eat a dozen of them every year.
They gave you two at once, huh.
You try to eat it, and it's delicious. ”
At this time, the saint was like a little girl, recommending her favorite food to Li Xin'an.
Li Xin'an looked at the chubby insect, scratched his head and asked, "How can you eat this?" ”
The saint smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll show you one." ”
She picked up a bug and bit off a piece of flesh from the insect's body, and the smell of fragrance suddenly emanated and filled the room.
The saintess sucked hard at the wound that held the ice silkworm, and the ice silkworm suddenly dried up, leaving only a thin layer of skin.
"Hiccup~ It's delicious! Do you see it clearly? Do you want me to show you again? ”
Li Xin'an suspected that this saintess was here to rub her own ice silkworms, looking at the only two ice silkworms left in the box, Li Xin'an hurriedly said: "No need, I have already learned." ”
The saint said with some regret: "Oh, well, then you can eat, I will go back to the temple first, staying here all the time will make others suspicious of you." ”
"Okay, goodbye. ”
The saint nodded and walked out of the room, and she returned to her former noble, cold, and holy appearance.
Li Xin'an picked up an ice silkworm, which was soft, slightly cool to the touch, and felt very good.
He bit off a piece of skin on the back of the ice silkworm according to the appearance of the saint just now, and the fruit-like fragrance suddenly emanated.
Li Xin'an sucked lightly at the wound of the ice silkworm, and a milk-like thick liquid suddenly poured into Li Xin'an's mouth, with a mellow fruit wood fragrance, refreshing and cool, very refreshing, and his spirit was lifted, he only felt that his body was full of strength and energy, and even the residual dizziness before was completely gone at this time.
After swallowing this liquid into his stomach, there was still a fragrance in his mouth, which did not disperse for a long time, Li Xin'an couldn't help but absorb all the rest in one breath and put the shriveled skin aside.
"It's delicious, and after drinking it, I feel full of strength and energy, and I deserve to be a baby who feeds on ice pith. ”
Looking at the remaining ice silkworm, Li Xin'an took out the water pattern bag and put it in, and then put it into the ink snow, ready to keep it for later.
"This Donggong tribe also has a lot of treasures, if Zhou Qian and they come here to do business, they can not only sell these treasures to Zhongzhou, but also speed up the integration of the Donggong tribe and the human race, and have the opportunity to talk to Zhou Qian. ”
Li Xin'an thought to himself.
At this moment, the door of the igloo was pushed open again, and the stout young man he had seen before walked in.
As soon as he came in, he said, "It's so fragrant, this is the fragrance of ice silkworms." ”
Li Xin'an also responded kindly: "Haha, yes, I ate two just now." ”
The sturdy young man said in shock: "Two, my mother probably brought you all the remaining ice silkworms in our family." ”
"Was it your mother who brought me food earlier?"
"Hmm. ”
"So are you Donggong Ya's brother?"
The sturdy young man nodded and responded, "Yes, I was there when I fought with the Ice Demon Wizard, but our strength was too weak, and we were stopped by the Ice Demon Servant.
I can only watch you desperately protect my sister, blame me for being too weak, otherwise my sister would not have been arrested. ”
The stout young man was a little depressed.
Li Xin'an comforted: "It's okay, we still have a chance." ”
The sturdy young man nodded fiercely: "Well, this time I will definitely go to the demon cave to rescue my sister, and when my sister is rescued, I will thank you again, if you like to eat ice silkworms, I will dig them for you! I am the best at digging ice silkworms in the Donggong tribe!"
Li Xin'an had a good impression of this heroic and sturdy young man, and said with a smile: "Haha, okay, I remember." ”
Li Xin'an was very puzzled about what kind of abilities they had obtained by believing in the Fire God and how they cultivated them, so he asked, "How are your strengths divided?"
The sturdy young man said, "You are from Frost City, and the way of division should be the same as that of the ancestors. Our division of strength is also very close to yours, based on the color of the flame on the forehead, the darker the color, the stronger the strength.
I am now equivalent to the strength of a third-level transcendent. ”
Li Xin'an asked, "How did you improve your strength, do you only need to believe in the God of Fire?"
The stout young man shook his head and said, "No, the Vulcan is just a guide, he helps us open the ability, and then it takes our own efforts to improve our strength, but when we reach the bottleneck, we need to go through a blood bath to improve our strength." ”
"Bloodbath?"
"Well, it's to fight a creature alone that is stronger than you, defeat it, spill its blood on yourself, and then pray to the god of fire, share the joy of success with the god of fire, and the god of fire will help us break through. ”
Li Xin'an asked, "Will you definitely be able to advance in this way?"
The stout young man replied, "Yes!"
"It seems that my ability is also because of the Fire God Ding, but I didn't pray to the Fire God, maybe the Fire God Ding helped me open it, can it be said that the power of the Fire God can help people open the ability? I don't know if other gods can, even if they don't, they will have some magical abilities that can help their own people. ”
At this time, Li Xin'an somewhat understood why the race born of gods would be stronger than other races.
A creature will have some magical abilities after reaching the god-level level, such as the Vulcan, which allows ordinary people to unlock abilities and make it easier to level up, which is an extremely terrifying ability.
After a pause, Li Xin'an asked the sturdy young man, "Then how many people will the Donggong tribe send out tomorrow?"
The sturdy young man replied: "There are at least dozens of demons with the strength of ice demon wizards in the demon cave, we will send out all the warriors who can fight, a total of more than 1,000 warriors equivalent to the strength of third-level transcendentals, my father and the elders of the three tribes will also go with us, they have the strength equivalent to fifth-level transcendentals, there must be no problem." ”
Li Xin'an was a little surprised by the strength of the Donggong tribe at this time, because of the belief in the god of fire, almost all of them were fire-type transcendentals, and there were more than 1,000 warriors with the strength of third-level transcendentals.
As a tribe with no more than 10,000 people, this strength is indeed shocking.
The sturdy young man was obviously a little proud when he saw Li Xin'an's expression, and then said to Li Xin'an:
"I'm inviting you to be a guest in the tribe, our Donggong tribe hasn't had guests for many years, and the clansmen have prepared a banquet and want to see you. ”
Li Xin'an was also very interested in the Donggong tribe, so he agreed with a smile:
"Okay, let's go, I also want to go see the Donggong tribe. ”
"Okay, please!"
The sturdy young man took the lead out of the house and took Li Xin'an into the Donggong tribe.
When he arrived, Li Xin'an experienced the majesty of the Donggong tribe even more.
There is a ring of city walls around the Donggong tribe, the entire city wall is made of more than ten meters thick ice wall, more than 30 meters high, and the city gate is made of the white bones of unknown animals, extremely high and huge, full of wild atmosphere.
After passing through the city gate and entering the Donggong tribe, I saw that all the houses in the Donggong tribe were made of **, and all of them were in the shape of semicircular pot lids.
In front of the door of each house was a white bone, and on the bone was a lamp with an orange-red flame.
The stout young man explained, "The people of our tribe believe that lighting a lamp at the door will be blessed by the god of fire and will not be harassed by evil spirits.
The lamps burn whale oil, which is very resistant to burning, and can burn for two or three days as long as the lamp is filled with oil. ”
Li Xin'an asked, "Do you usually use whale oil for cooking and lighting?"
The sturdy young man replied: "No, every whale in this sea area is of strength above the king level, it is very difficult to catch, and we usually use the oil of ordinary fish. ”
At this moment, the people who heard the movement outside the house all came out of the house, looked at Li Xin'an simply, and smiled openly.
Most of them were wearing animal skin clothes, their physiques were strong, and their smiles were very happy, which was a kind of peace from the heart, which made Li Xin'an very envious.
"There are also many people on the earth who believe in so-called gods, and faith is indeed something that can give people spiritual comfort. ”
Li Xin'an also greeted these people with a smile, although he knew that these people's beliefs were based on lies, but at least their current happiness and joy came from the heart, and sometimes ignorance was also a kind of happiness.
Under the leadership of the sturdy young man, Li Xin'an walked all the way and saw all kinds of buildings in the Donggong tribe.
There are ice pools dedicated to storing surplus food, and they are all buried with fish or meat that cannot be eaten.
There is also a breeding farm where some domesticated deer, cattle and other docile animals are raised, and these animals will provide meat for the Donggong tribe.
There is also a huge place dedicated to the breeding of snow leopards, which are Xuan-level creatures with loyal and brave personalities, and are the main mounts of the Donggong tribesmen.
The largest building is the temple, which is located in the most central position of the Donggong tribe, carved beautifully, like the heavenly palace, and there is a firework-like flame at the highest point of the grand ceremony, and every Donggong tribesman who sees the flame will send out sincere admiration.
Li Xin'an knew that it was the holy fire, which was scorching and burning at this time, and wondered if it could really be extinguished according to what the holy woman said.
But before he had time to think about it, Li Xinan was taken to the place where today's banquet was held.
