This is a cottage under the dark sky.

This is a mysterious place deep in the mountains and old forests.

The little nightingale cooed, and the campfire crackled.

The light of the bonfire jumped in Zhu Tian's eyes.

Everything in front of him was going on like an ancient ritual, and the feast in the mouth of the black mamba was extraordinarily spectacular, giving Zhu Tian a great shock from both visual and auditory perspectives.

First, hundreds of people sit around in a big circle.

In the center of the circle is a bonfire several meters high, which directly illuminates the distance of a hundred meters.

No one spoke, no one organized, they just chanted like that.

"Ang !!"

"Buzz !!"

"!! of Tatsu"

Several strange and obscure characters spat out of their mouths in unison.

The bonfire in the center of the circle burned more and more as if inspired by their voices.

Zhu Tian, who was standing on the edge of the big circle, looked at the people around him suspiciously, looking at the emptiness of the black hole in their mouths, and was sure that they were all dumb. As you can imagine, these tongueless guys can only make these few tones.

The black mamba stood beside Zhu Tian, and the bonfire reflected on his shiny black skin. "Honorable and mysterious guest," he said to Zhu Tian, "and please don't tell us about us after you leave here." ”

"Oh, what's not to say?"

"In order to escape the increasing taxes of the kingdom, we have been hiding in the mountains, where we have been living in seclusion for ten years. This is the biggest secret of our cottage. ”

Zhu Tian narrowed his eyes, turned to the black mamba, looked at the dark face and said, "Did you cut off the tongues of everyone here in order to hide this secret?"

Black Mamba's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Zhu Tian with a complicated expression, and the two tall attendants behind him immediately took a step closer to him, as if waiting for his order.

At the same time, Frank and the nasty ghost also stepped forward at the same time, standing behind Zhu Tian on the left and right.

"Hahaha!" Zhu Tian suddenly smiled: "You don't have to be nervous, it's a joke." After saying that, he squinted his eyes and stopped looking at the black mamba.

Suddenly, the tense anger eased slightly. As if talking to an old friend, Zhu Tian calmly asked, "Mr. Black Mamba, can you introduce me to your feast?"

At this time, Black Mamba's face was a little erratic. "As I just said to you, there are traitors in our cottage. He said in a deep voice, "This traitor not only wants to steal slaves from me, but also encourages everyone to rebel against me. He let go of the two slaves who had just returned with you. ”

"Since you are not satisfied with the taxes of the kingdom of Yakel, you are not satisfied with the exploitation of the nobles. Zhu Tian said, "Then why do you want to exploit others?"

"They're not people, they're yodelman pigs. When the Black Mamba said this, both of the attendants behind him let out a loud laugh. "Not only here, but everywhere the yodelmen should be enslaved. ”

Frank and the nasty ghost stood behind Zhu Tian and glanced at each other, and they both saw the look of surprise in each other's eyes. But soon, they understood that Zhu Tian still had a blue hat on his head, it should be that the two of them confused the black mamba's vision, plus it was dark, how could the black mamba still see the characteristics of the yodelman on Zhu Tian's face.

Thinking of this, the nasty ghost suddenly felt that there was a tough battle to be fought next. But they weren't worried at all, the sky was falling, but there was a tall man on top of it. Not to mention that there are powerful wandering samurai behind them, just Mr. Blue Hat standing in front of them can take out everyone here. After all, he's a powerful magician!

However, what puzzled the nasty ghost was that Zhu Tian did not explode directly because of the other party's insult. On the contrary, they saw that Zhu Tian's face was still like that, and there was still that indifferent look. "More than half of them are yodelmen here," Zhu Tian said calmly to the Black Mamba, "so they're all your slaves?"

"That's right. The Black Mamba replied.

The conversation between the two men came to an abrupt end.

In the dark, Zhu Tian had already released his spiritual power tentacles.

High in the air that no one noticed, his spiritual power tentacles looked down on everything and listened to everything.

Following the doubts in his heart, almost instantly, Zhu Tian's spiritual power tentacles appeared in a dense place. This is the fifth floor of the tulou, and the layout of the entire fifth floor is not a room one by one, but a whole secret room that has been opened!

Zhu Tian used his spiritual power tentacles to slowly reach into the huge boxes in the secret room one after another.

After all the exploration, he came to a conclusion.

In the hundreds of large chests on the entire fifth floor, at least millions of gold coins are stored!

All chests are filled with coins!

The entire fifth floor is full of gold coins!

Within a radius of 100 meters, there were a total of three tulou, and I couldn't help but say that Zhu Tian appeared in another tulou in the next moment.

Like the first tulou he surveyed, the first to fourth floors of this tulou were compartments one after another, and the inside was dim, which seemed to be the living quarters, and soon he came to the fifth floor of this tulou.

It was just a breath of time, and he knew it.

It's all gold, too, millions of coins!

For Zhu Tian at this time, the gold coin was no longer so tempting, but the picture brought to him by his spiritual power still shocked him deeply.

At first, he thought he was wrong, and checked it again and again, until his mental power penetrated all the boxes again, and he finally made a judgment: this cottage buried a huge secret!

There are three tulou in total, and his spiritual power does stop at the second one. There is no need to probe him, the situation of the third main building must be exactly the same as here, because...... He sensed that the Gold Eater was in the third main building!

The question of the appearance of the Gold Eater here has been solved.

Where else within a radius of a thousand miles could there be more gold coins than here? The combined gold coins in the three main buildings may have exceeded 10 million!

This kind of wealth is enough to make the kingdom upheaval.

It is conceivable that if this wealth is used to recruit private troops, then it will definitely be possible to pull up a team of 10,000 people in a short period of time! Seeing this, Zhu Tian guessed that they had entered the den of horse thieves. However, he soon rejected the idea.

Even if you gather the horse thieves from all over the continent and let them grab them day and night for a month, you can't accumulate such wealth!

Then there is only one answer.

In order to confirm the answer in his heart, he probed his spiritual power tentacles outside the main building and drilled into the vast mountains behind the main building!

Spiritual power can penetrate wood and stone, and naturally it can also penetrate the mountains!

The next moment, he came to the "belly of the mountain"!

Like a big snake with the thickness of a city gate drilled out, Zhu Tian observed that the belly of the mountain was full of dense corridors!

Darkness, gravel, hammers, and wooden carts are common things in the road.

Seeing this, he didn't know that this was a mine cave entirely. He extended his spiritual power and went all the way down the Yongdao, and in the process, he crossed the huge rocks, crossed a quicksand dark river, and came directly to a hundred meters below the ground!

With his mental powers, he perceives everything around him.

I saw that there are traces of artificial mining here, but more of them are naturally formed huge karst caves. He saw the golden color on the top of the cave wall, and the golden color of the quicksand in the river in the center of the cave.

At this moment, he understood where the gold coins in the cottage tulou came from.

The answer is revealed. It turns out that such a group of weird mutes are guarding a huge gold mine!

Analyzing the words of the Black Mamba, Zhu Tian knew that they had been mining for at least ten years before they had accumulated that kind of wealth.

Zhu Tian thought about it a little brainlessly, because he thought that if he wanted to turn gold ore into gold coins, he must have a complete smelting technology, so that he could speculate that they must have an inextricable relationship with a powerful force in the outside world!

Recalling the people imprisoned in the cage next to the bonfire, Zhu Tian had his own judgment in his heart!

There was no time to think about it, Zhu Tian took back his spiritual power tentacles.

At this time, standing by the side of the Black Mamba, he felt more or less uncomfortable. "It's very detailed, there's an old man in the cage, what you call a traitor, and you're doing some kind of ritual. Zhu Tian looked at the mutes around him who were already humming, as if they were preparing for the next step. "Wouldn't you, as the master of this place, need to participate in this kind of ceremony?"

Hearing Zhu Tian speak, the black mamba drew his gaze again. "The first few times, I would preside," he said, "but now I don't need it anymore, and it would be more effective for them to do it themselves." ”

Effect......

Zhu Tian sneered in his heart.

It was almost obvious that the "feast" that the Black Mamba was talking about was completely a murderous feast! As for what they would do, Zhu Tian had not yet seen it. But he already fully understands the purpose of the Black Mamba! He is ruling everyone here with "fear"!

After a while, the old man who was imprisoned in the cage was bound to be killed by someone here.

Let them sit in a circle and watch, it is enough to play the role of killing chickens and monkeys!

What's even more clever is that the Black Mamba came up with such a humming ritual and then let the "monkey" kill the "chicken", such a method is not terrifying! The ritual has the purpose of brainwashing, which has planted a religious seed in everyone's hearts. Then he asked the "monkey" to kill the "chicken", which completely gave the "monkey" a sense of participation and made them feel that it all made sense!

"Wait a minute, the traitors who escaped from the two will dig out the betrayer's heart with his own hands. "The Black Mamba acts as a commentator on an ad hoc basis. "Then throw it into the flames, which represents purification. As if he was afraid that Zhu Tian would not understand, after being silent for two seconds, he added another sentence: "The flame represents purification, and all the power of betrayal will be purified by the flame, which is a good means of ruling, and after each 'feast' is over, everyone will spend a long time in peace." Sometimes, I look forward to the 'feast'. After all, these yodelman pigs are just too difficult to manage. In the summer, they are like they are in heat, and sometimes they don't even let go of their male roommates. ”

Sure enough, the two escapees who were rescued by Zhu Tian were pushed down by everyone in the center of the big circle. A rusty dagger was thrown at their feet.

At the same time, watching one of the younger escapees pick up the dagger, the noble cane that Zhu Tian held tightly slowly loosened a little.

Pushed by two fierce-eyed mutes, the escapee was already in front of the cage. He looked at the old man who had been knocked unconscious in the cage, and the dagger in his palm slowly trembled. After all, he still didn't put the dagger into the cage.

The dagger fell to the ground, and he knelt down in agony, constantly touching his chest with both hands to the old man in the cage, and then kowtowed.

"Put him in a cage too. Seeing this, the Black Mamba said to the attendants beside him, "Let another runaway rip out their hearts." ”

"The two runaways are supposed to be father and son. The squire said, "The older fellow probably won't take out his son's heart." ”

"Huh...... Father and son?" the black mamba said with a tall mouth. "That's interesting. Then put his son in first, see if he can do anything, and if he doesn't, put him in too. Oh, no, it looks like the two of them are hell-bent on dying. The Black Mamba saw that both escapees were kneeling in front of the cage. He said, "It looks like we're going to have to rip out the hearts of three people today." ”

After receiving the Black Mamba's order, the tall squire wanted to walk forward, but a sharp pain suddenly pierced through his chest. He looked at his chest suspiciously, but for several seconds, he didn't know why a bloody, thin-bladed sword came out of his chest.
