Chapter 238: One Hundred Thousand Mountains (9)
After explaining this, the tiger-striped man turned his head and said a word, and the dozen or so people came up to surround a few people, and the tiger-striped man hugged Kuldan and strode away. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The rest of the people looked at the four of them with fierce eyes, and the beasts beside each of them also stared straight at Shen Nishang and the four of them with a gloomy look.
Ling Fei gently hooked the corners of his lips: "Let's go." It's good to see and learn. ”
In such a situation, it is not up to a few people to choose.
The four of them could only follow the group towards the east.
While walking, Shen Nishang found that although these companion beast clans had no internal strength, they were all light and agile, and they were extremely dexterous and old-fashioned, and there were almost no traces of them everywhere they passed, leaving behind traces of wild beasts.
No wonder they hadn't noticed it a few days ago.
Of course, it is also possible that the area where they are mainly active is not here.
However, looking at the direction in which these companion beast clans were heading, it was the east where the white phoenix reminded them not to go, Shen Nishang couldn't help but think thoughtfully.
Did the white phoenix really remind them, or did she know about the existence of these people at all?
However, I am afraid that this question is difficult to answer.
Whether it is the companion beast clan or the white phoenix, they have nothing to do with the four of them, and if they really have any inside information, they will not let them know.
The speed of the companion beast clan was extremely fast, Shen Nishang gradually couldn't keep up, and a young man with tiger stripes on the face of the companion beast clan said a side word to the tiger beside him, and then pointed at Shen Nisheng, and the tiger staggered to Shen Nisheng.
"You ride Asai away. The man said, seeing that Shen Nishang was puzzled, he glanced at Shen Nisheng, "You saved Kuldan, Kuldan is my cousin, I can let you ride Asai." ”
The colorful tiger named Ah Sai yawned lazily at Shen Nishang, and quickly flicked his tail, as if he was waiting a little impatiently.
Mu Qing hurriedly said: "I'll just carry my aunt away." ”
After saying that, he leaned down towards Shen Nisheng: "Auntie, I'll take you away." ”
Shen Nishang actually really wanted to try the experience of riding a tiger, but Mu Qing had already refused, and she didn't want to mention it again, so she still got on Mu Qing's back.
The man looked a little disdainful: "You Middle-earthers are really cowardly. The beasts of our companion beast clan are our people, and they never bite people indiscriminately. ”
Mu Qingqing smiled and didn't distinguish between them, and hurried forward with his breath.
Seeing this, the people in front also sped up.
After about an hour, the companion orcs finally stopped at dusk.
The leading tiger-striped man handed Kuldan to another man, walked up to Shen Nishang and the four of them, took out four leaves of unknown plants and handed them to Shen Nishang, and said succinctly: "Eat it." ”
Shen Nishang and the four of them did not act immediately.
The tiger-striped man who asked Shen Ni to ride a tiger earlier said: "I'm going to enter the miasma forest immediately, and the miasma will come here as soon as it gets dark, and if you don't eat it, you will get miasma." ”
The other Kuldan also looked at this head with bright eyes, and when he saw Shen Nisheng's gaze passing, he lowered his head shyly again, and the next moment, he secretly raised his eyes and looked curiously here.
Shen Nishang smiled, thanked him, and distributed the leaves to the three of them.
The leaves have no taste, but there is a faint fragrance, and after eating, the breath is very fresh.
Half of the men were left behind by the tiger-striped man, and he led Kurdan deep into the forest.
Shen Nishang and the four of them stood in place.
The four exchanged glances, and Shen Nishang smiled indifferently: "If you come, you will be safe." ”
Along the way, she also observed.
It feels like this beast clan isn't the kind of unreasonable.
This is half an hour.
The sky gradually darkened, and the branches and leaves of the towering giant trees looked at the sky full of colorful clouds outside, but the light in the forest was a little dim.
Footsteps came from the opposite side.
Shen Nishang raised his eyes and saw an old man on crutches walking slowly from the opposite forest along with the tiger-striped man earlier, followed by a tall middle-aged man who was seven or eight points similar to the tiger-striped man, and two other old men who were not young.
The old man wore the same costume as the rest of the people, with a long robe that hung down to his feet, gray fabric, and some multicolored blocks on it, and a necklace made of unknown animal teeth hanging on his chest.
The other two old men and the middle-aged man were wearing clothes that were a combination of animal skins and fabrics, and there were stripes of different colors and shapes on both cheeks, the difference was that the patterns on the faces of the two old men had a somewhat faded feeling, while the rest of the people, including the middle-aged man, had extremely bright colors on their faces.
On the contrary, the old man on crutches had a clean face, and except for a darker complexion, he was no different from the people of Middle-earth.
Shen Nishang's gaze finally paused at the black eagle feather pattern on the tall middle-aged man's face, and withdrew his gaze with feeling.
The two sides faced each other, but neither of them spoke immediately, only looked at each other silently.
In the end, the old man on crutches inspected the four of them one by one, and finally landed on Shen Nisheng's face: "You are not from Maoguo?"
"Dali people. Shen Nishang had nothing to hide, and looked back frankly.
The old man bowed his head slightly, looking at Shen Nisheng's gaze with a bit of inexplicable look: "What method did you use to save Kuldan?"
"If you want to learn, I can teach you. Shen Nishang paused, "But his heart disease should be born, and this method can only deal with emergencies, not cure him." If you want him to live longer, don't let him out of your sight easily, and not be too tired or irritated. That must not happen again today, it will be dangerous. If you're unlucky, you might be the living dead. ”
"Do you know medical skills?" the old man's eyes flashed.
Shen Nishang shook her head: "No, I just happen to know something about heart disease." His heart disease is not the most serious, but it is not light, and good maintenance is the only way. ”
The old man seemed to have a very high status among the companion beast clan, and when he was talking to Shen Nisheng, the rest of the people all showed respect and convincing, and none of them showed other expressions, let alone interject.
The old man lowered his eyes as if he was thinking, and did not raise his eyes for a while.
"Are you a family?" the old man asked suddenly.
"Well, it's a family. Shen Nishang looked at the old man, "We also met the white phoenix on the way, and she let us in." ”
The old man's eyes moved slightly, and he turned his head and talked to the two old men behind him and the tall middle-aged man in a few words. One of the old men seemed to disagree, but was finally convinced.
The old man on crutches turned his head to look at Shen Nishang and the four of them: "I am the high priest of the Companion Beast Clan, and I want to invite four of you to my clan as guests, are the four of you willing?"
Mu Qing and Ling Fei glanced at each other, and looked at Shen Nishang together.
The surrounding beast clansmen, along with all kinds of fierce beasts around them, moved their positions slightly, and the encirclement was narrowed a little smaller.
The high priest looked at the four of them with a slight smile and a kind expression.
Shen Nishang sighed slightly in her heart.
The high priest spoke beautifully, but there was no room for them to refute this situation.
Shen Nishang could probably guess the other party's plan.
Inviting guests is just a rhetoric, the other party is not good at the moment, and after bringing them to their land, they can slowly observe and make a choice.
But even if they knew the other party's intentions, they had no room for comment.
"It's better to be respectful than to obey. Shen Nishang could only smile.
The High Priest smiled and turned to walk.
The sky was a little darker, and a layer of light cyan mist gradually filled the forest, but if you look closely, the light cyan seems to be mixed with other colors, but you can smell it carefully, but there is no taste.
The mist spread rapidly towards the outside of the forest, and before it was tea time, the field of vision was limited to about half a square mile.
A warm hand grabbed Shen Nishang's wrist, the palm was very warm, and there were a few thin calluses on the fingertips and palms, Shen Nishang was slightly stunned, and instinctively wanted to withdraw her hand, but before she could move, Mu Qing's voice came.
"Auntie, be careful. ”
The next moment, Mu Qing's hand was gently pulled, and Shen Nishang did not fall, Mu Qing helped Shen Nishang with his other hand, and Shen Nishang found that there was a branch the thickness of an arm under the dead leaves under his feet.
Shen Nishang staggered a step before she stood firm.
"Auntie, I'll lead you away. Mu Qing held her shoulders and whispered.
Shen Nishang smiled helplessly: "Then you have to be careful." You're going to fall, and I can't hold it. ”
"No, it won't. If I want to fall, I will let go of my aunt first, I am a man, and I am not afraid of falling. The fog was getting bigger and bigger, and the face was a little blurry when it was close at hand, but Mu Qing's voice was a little excited, "I'll go ahead, auntie, you just follow me." ”
I don't know how long I walked.
The footsteps ahead stopped.
Kurdan's brother came over with a few of his clansmen, and took out four pieces of cloth for the four of them to cover, and since they were all here, there was nothing to argue about.
The four of them did what they said.
Mu Qing was still holding Shen Nishang's hand and followed the person in front of him.
Shen Nishang felt as if they had entered a hole, and walked along the long passage with a somewhat damp smell for about a quarter of an hour, and the air was suddenly fresh.
"Guests, here. The voice of the high priest came.
The four of them unveiled their blindfolds.
In front of you is a huge valley.
Surrounded by green hills, the terrain in the valley is very flat.
Numerous wooden houses are scattered in between, and at a glance the valley is extremely long, and the farthest house is only the size of a box.
There are forests and flowers in the valley, and there are also fields where crops are grown, but the area of the fields is not large because of the large number of houses.
The surrounding mountains soar into the clouds, revealing a beautiful dark blue night sky, and the stars are shining and shining.
"It's beautiful. Shen Nishang smiled slightly, "The place is also quite big." ”
"It used to be big enough, but now it's small. The high priest shook his head, said nothing, and turned forward, "Guests, please." ”
The four men followed the high priest to the tallest house in the middle.
"There are no outsiders in the clan, so let's stay here. The high priest was gentle but could not refuse, and pointed to two rooms, "The place is small, and you will be able to do it." The guarded areas on the south and east sides of the valley are not allowed to move around freely, and the rest of the valley is free for guests to do their own thing. ”
So the high priest walked out of the house on crutches.
The four of them looked at each other, and they all saw the same understanding from the bottom of their eyes.
The high priest was clearly trying to keep them under his nose and watch.
As for this time, I should go to consult with the patriarch and other elders.
"Today is the twenty-seventh, and we cannot afford to delay too long. Ling Fei said.
Shen Nishang nodded and sighed: "There's no way, let's take one step at a time." ”
Footsteps approached outside, and several people looked up, and Kurdan's brother walked in with two companion beast women.
The two women, one middle-aged and the other young, were indistinguishable from them except for their darker complexions, and there were no patterns on their faces.
The two of them held trays in their hands, and large wooden bowls filled with some food.
The middle-aged woman among them looked very kind, and even smiled slightly with Shen Nishang when she put down the tray: "Guests, please eat." ”
The food is meat-based, and the large chunks are grilled and cooked.
There are also four small bowls of beans boiled as a staple.
Kuldan's brother looked better for a long time, and pointed to the woman and the young woman, and said, "This is my aunt and my sister, my name is Duolun, and I am Kuldan's brother. You saved Kuldan and you are the benefactor of our family, as long as you do not harm us, we will treat you as a benefactor. ”
Duolun spoke very directly, and his eyes were very straightforward, and he could see that he was telling the truth.
Duolun's aunt and sister also stood aside and smiled kindly at the four.
Ling Fei asked, "The one who was with you before, with feathers on his face, but your father?"
"It's my father, my father is the patriarch. Duo Lun said bluntly, "The Great Elder didn't agree to bring you in, but the High Priest spoke, so he let you in." You don't have bad intentions, and we won't deal with you. ”
Duolun repeatedly emphasized that he was obviously very wary of this, and kept staring at the expressions of the four people as he spoke.
"We're not bad guys. Mu Qing looked into Duolun's eyes and said sincerely, "We are just here to find Nan, and we have no grudges or enmity with you, and we will never harm anyone, nor will we be unfavorable to you." But we can't stay here too long, can you explain it to the high priest. ”
Duolun didn't answer, glanced at the four of them, turned around and went out.
Duolun's aunt and sister also smiled and nodded at the four of them, and followed out.
"Either he can't open this mouth, or he thinks we can't believe it. Ling Fei leaned lazily against the wooden pillar behind him, "It's useless for you to talk to him." ”
"It's normal, too. Shen Nishang said, "Changing places, we won't trust strangers who only have one side at will." What's more, the border people are the same as the people of Middle Earth...... You won't be at ease. ”
"That's right. Ling Fei curled the corners of his lips, "I don't know when they will be able to release them." If you wait a year and a half, it will be fun. ”
Mu Qing had a bitter face: "Can't you?"
Ling Fei raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Now the four of them are also considered meat on the chopping board, eating and chatting at the same time, and then they can only settle down honestly.
The priest was given only two rooms, and the furnishings were very simple.
The two rooms were the size of each other, and there was nothing but a wooden bed and a few stools made of logs.
