867 The Status of Humanity

"Untouchables, get out of the way!"

There were many shadows nearby, and it seemed to be all people, but before she could see clearly, she heard a rough roar explode behind her, with great impatience.

Before she could react, Changtian had already grabbed her waist and took a big step to the left, just in time to let go of a big foot kicking from behind. The other party was not afraid that he could dodge, and he stumbled before he stood firm.

She looked at the big-footed master, who was six feet tall and had a rugged face, his skin sheath covering only half of his chest, revealing strong, rough rock-like muscles, his crotch only reaching mid-thighs, and his eyes were round and small, radiating a malicious light.

The most important thing is that the few words that this person shouted out, with an archaic and awkward charm, were shouted in the language she was most unfamiliar with, not the language of the human race, nor the lingua franca of the demon race, but a language that had disappeared for a long time on the Southern Ganbu Continent-

Barbarian language. Although he has a thick accent, she can be sure that this guy is a brute.

Changtian slightly sideways to protect her, although this angle sold most of his back to the other party, but she held Changtian's arm, she could feel the muscles on his arm contract, obviously the barbarian wanted to make further moves, he would not be polite.

However, her eyes showed just the right amount of frightened and cowardly gaze, which probably satisfied the other party's arrogance, of course, the most important thing was that the street they were on was really narrow, and there were a few riding beasts approaching quickly, so the big guy spat on the ground, raised his legs and left.

Xie Huanlang said in a low voice: "Keep your head down, otherwise the barbarians will think that you have offended them." Come with me, this is not a place for humans. He was the first to bow his head, tilt his back slightly, and lead the way, but he looked in the direction and walked out.

Her head was lowered, but her eyes kept rolling, and she said softly, "What about Zhuqian?"

Xie Huanlang didn't look back, only a small voice came from the front: "The location of entering each scene of heaven and earth is not fixed, these two guys may be lucky, they were not teleported to the tribe, but fell into the wilderness." Only two or three times out of ten will be stuffed straight here, and we're really unlucky!"

When she heard this, she was relieved. The two heads of the gands gathered together, one of them was still a doppelganger, and Rhubarb was mostly fine with him.

The place looked like a primitive settlement, and it must have been a great area, for they had walked briskly for two quarters of an hour without stepping out, but it was by no means a city, for she could not see the towering walls. In fact, this barbarian settlement did not even have half a brick, and the structure of the house seemed to her to be very simple, but it was built with wood made of local materials, and the roof was covered with thatch, not to mention that it was beautifully built, and she also saw the polygonal houses, obviously the barbarians here did not have much concept of "aesthetics", and some of the wood used to build houses did not even do basic treatment, and it was not unusual for green moss and mushrooms to grow on the door. Well, she guessed that those who could cover the roof with large pieces of animal skins should be nobles or wealthy families.

If it is special, the houses here are built very tall, at least twice the size of human dwellings. Barbarians dressed in animal skins often came in and out of their tents, both men and women, bare-chested and bare-breasted. At this time, I saw the difference between the barbarians, their appearance, appearance and height were very different, some were no different from humans, some had seven or eight arms, comparable to the mythical Yakshas, and some were simply not humanoid, but monsters with human heads and horses...... She walked all the way, just like walking all the way to the Monster Grand View Garden, and finally knew why the houses here were built so strangely, it turned out that everyone's volume was not the same at all! Even though the snake forest was rich in demon species, she still felt that it was really eye-opening to come here.

Changtian seemed to see her doubts, and said in a low voice: "The title of barbarian, like the demon race, is just a general term, the types of monsters are strange, and the barbarians are fewer, but they are by no means as unified as the image of human beings. However, the royal blood of the barbarians has always been the image of human beings, so most barbarians like to put away their visions after practicing spells, imitating the appearance of nobles. ”

She understood, no wonder that when she found the broad wooden platform in the wild valley, this guy was an astonishing height of more than five zhang (sixteen meters), and she thought about what a burly giant this guy must have been when he was alive, it turned out that these guys would take on the appearance of ordinary humans in their daily activities. This is easy to understand, in ancient China, the popular wind of the people must have begun to blow from the court, and the people quickly pushed off what those high-ranking princes and nobles liked; even in modern times, even if the royal family has basically no political privileges, the dress of princesses and princes can often set off a fashion wind in their own country and lead the trend.

The barbarians respected their royal family, and their words and deeds and even their appearance were close to them, and they also showed a very simple worship.

"So, these barbarians are not civilized?" she asked in a low voice. On the other hand, these barbarians still maintain their original appearance, either they have not yet learned the use of evil qi, or the era is too primitive for the barbarians to have this concept.

In fact, when they saw the buildings and the costumes of the inhabitants, they knew that the second world they entered should be a tribal settlement of the barbarians a long time ago. If it is inferred that the first act of heaven and earth is the birth of Xuanwu, then the age of the second act of heaven and earth should also be a fragment of the long past, after all, Xuanwu itself is a fossil-level antique.

"No, they've learned barbarian spells, but they still live as tribes. Changtian motioned for her to look ahead, "Look!"

They had already walked to the edge of the tribe, Ning Xiaoxian raised his head slightly, only to see that although there was no brick wall here, there was an extremely tall tree wall! The banyan tree is a tree species that can become a forest in one tree, and here, its characteristics are brought into full play, thousands of large banyan trees are connected to each other, so close that there is almost no gap, and this barbarian tribe is firmly protected in the center!

The height of each big tree will not be less than fifteen zhang (fifty meters), and the diameter of each big tree will not be less than four zhang (thirteen meters), which is already far beyond the number that can be achieved by human walls!

Lin Wei of the Ba Snake Forest is an expert in raising and pasting trees, and the magnificent palace group in the forest is their masterpiece, so Ning Xiaoxian can see at a glance that such a thick and magnificent tree wall must also be the result of supernatural power, and it is definitely not a natural formation.

It is hard to imagine that this tribe could build such a huge fortification around itself without even a smooth road, crooked paths, and not even half a decent, straight road.

Xie Huanlang took the four of them to walk on such a crooked path, and from time to time he had to dodge to avoid the riding beasts that were rushing by, and when he walked under the tree wall, Ge Buyi was splashed with many mud spots. There are also strange beasts here, including deer, tigers, elephants, and camel-like creatures, not only four-legged, but also six-legged.

They walked and stopped all the way, turning and turning, and sometimes there was no congestion in front of them, Xie Huanlang wanted to change directions and take a long detour. In this way, the group finally walked to the gate of the tribe, and she could feel that Xie Huanlang was relieved when she saw this unusually heavy door panel.

They kept their heads down, and the barbarian guards here ignored them and let them walk out of the door.

Ning Xiaoxian said curiously: "Isn't the defense very tight?"

"Grandma. Not long after following the four of them, Xie Huanlang learned what Gongsun Zhan called her, and said with a wry smile at the moment: "Didn't you see a human with a tattoo on his face inside?"

Her face darkened slightly: "I saw it." The so-called "黥" is to tattoo words on people's faces and apply charcoal to ink, so that they can no longer be scrubbed. This is also one of the ancient punishments, the imprint can reach deep into the bones, often used to prevent soldiers or slaves from escaping, and later evolved into a punishment that humiliates people, such as in ancient China, the Qin State Shang Yang used harsh methods when changing the law, once the prince broke the law but it was inconvenient to increase the punishment, Shang Ying put the prince's master Gongsun Jia Huang face to show punishment.

In addition to the barbarians, she also saw some humans engaged in physical work in this tribe. They were dressed in tattered homespun clothes, with tattoos on their cheeks or foreheads, and their expressions were cold and numb, and they moved mechanically. She also noticed that these humans were relatively short, far from reaching the height of the humans in the Southern Ganbu Continent, and the barbarian tribe full of giants was even more humble and pitiful, she speculated that this was due to malnutrition?

Fortunately, before Changtian entered the second act of heaven and earth, he also used the breathing technique to compress his height, otherwise he was originally six feet tall, and he was a member of the group of humans, and it was difficult to be conspicuous.

"Humans are pariahs here and are not eligible for camping. Only a few people have the extra grace to enter the tribal helpers, and a tattoo on their face is a sign of permission to enter, and if they are as clean as ours, they will be looking for death to dangle in them. Xie Huanlang sighed lightly, "Don't think it's easy to walk in the tribe, there are guards patrolling here at any time, and the route I just chose is the route that the immortal cultivators who have entered the second act of heaven and earth for thousands of years have tried to figure out, and the route that has just been summed up is a lesson in blood." It was safest to come out like this, completely avoiding the guards' patrol routes. Many of the ancestors who entered this place for the first time were beheaded on the spot because they alarmed the guards. ”

As for Fang Cai, he walked out of the gate. At this moment, the four of them had been walking along the root of the tree wall for a long time before he pointed his finger back, "The gatekeepers will not check on the humans who go out, because the jungle is ten times more dangerous, and no human will be stupid enough to want to escape." According to our observations, this should be the barbaric era that has not been recorded in the annals of history, where demons and spirits often haunt the wilderness, and human beings take refuge under the wings of barbarians in order to survive, and their status is humble. ”R1152
