Chapter 128: Cooperation
"Close the door, close the door."
The shouts came through the thick earthen walls, and the guards in the drying field hurriedly rushed over to close the thick stone door legs.
A low muffled sound seemed to come from her ears, and Yao Qianqian suspiciously walked out of the room where the dried meat was temporarily stored.
The Aharaths in the bathing room were all gathered together, all with sad and angry expressions.
The human monks stayed where they were, but they stopped what they were doing.
"Lord Qianya, they're here."
Qianya's expression was solemn, and without saying a word, she climbed to the top of the wall along the simple wooden ladder on the earthen wall. She looked out of the protective walls of the Ahalas, which were densely populated with terrifying alien races that rode the most ferocious monster in the land, the Split-Tooth Leopard.
The Splittooth Leopard's running speed and jumping speed are top-notch, and they once jumped in with their owners in defiance of the protective walls of the Ahara.
However, the current protective wall of the Aharath tribe has been raised three times in a row, and Qianya, who should be relieved, is somehow difficult to feel at ease.
At this time, outside the protective wall, tall towers appeared. These towers are made of wood, but they can be moved at will. Immediately afterward, the first Dogan rushed to the tower on a split-toothed leopard. The Splittooth Leopard was so fast that it even left an afterimage in the air, and it jumped directly onto the protective wall of the Aharas.
With the first, there was the second, and the Dogans continued to stand on the protective walls of the Aharas.
Boom...... The Dogan, who was the first to climb the wall, sat down with a split-toothed leopard and jumped off the wall with the help of the roof. The man sat on the back of the split-toothed leopard, and looked at the Aharaths around him who dared not speak in anger.
For them. It's nothing to be angry, as long as you don't dare to resist, in fact, it's nothing to resist. Even he couldn't remember how many races they had wiped out who had dared to resist.
Hung Ga didn't know where he came out, pushed away the Aharaths who were in the way, nodded at the Doan people, and said, "This month's tribute was sent to you yesterday, and today I don't know why it came to our tribe." ”
Duo'an raised his eyebrows, and snorted coldly: "The number of newborns in my clan has increased greatly, and from this month, the offerings will increase by thirty percent." ”
Food is the most basic guarantee for the reproduction of a race. It was already a great burden for them to pay so much jerky every month to the Doans, and if they added another 30%, the Aharas might have a hard time even having a full stomach.
Hongga's face was embarrassed. Rubbing his hands, he said: "A basket of jerky is five hundred catties, and we paid tribute to a full hundred baskets of jerky, that is, fifty thousand catties, and then three percent more." Wouldn't it cost fifteen thousand pounds? We just can't hand over so much jerky. ”
Laughter resounded one after another among the Doan people, but the leader did not laugh, and said indifferently: "Then you will go and eat Huangluteng like those slaves." ”
Hongga grinded his teeth, he hunched his body, the look on his face was not clear, the people present were quiet and inexplicable, everyone once thought that there was going to be a war today, who knew that after a while, Hongga raised his head with a smile.
"Yes, yes. From today on, I will let all the old, weak, sick and disabled go to eat Huanglu Teng. After he said this, he immediately turned around and yelled at the people behind him, "Don't you have long ears?" Why don't you go and get what the adults want. ”
Qianya closed her eyes in pain when she saw this scene, this was her father's tribe, her father took her hand before he died and asked her to promise to take care of the Ahalas, she agreed, but now she can't do it. She retreated silently from the earthen wall, her eyes sad.
"Let's all go back to work, and we won't fight anymore."
After the crowd dispersed, Qianya kept staring at Yao Qianqian, and made Yao Qianqian's heart furious.
"Lord Qianya, if you have something to say, don't look at me like this."
Qianya smiled bitterly, gently pulled Yao Qianqian, and led her to the hut where she was resting in the drying field.
Entering the house, Qianya continued: "You are very smart, I believe you have discovered the secret of jerky, right?" ”
Yao Qianqian and Qianya looked at each other for a while, and when they saw that the other party was very sure, they directly admitted it, "Yes, I did find out." I'm wondering, why are you giving me jerky. ”
"Because I need your help." Qianya paused, and seeing that Yao Qianqian didn't mean to answer, she said stupidly, "You and your companion are the only humans who have fallen in the past three years, so you are my only hope." ”
"Why don't you go to the other monks for help?" Among those human cultivators, there were even foundation building monks, and Yao Qianqian didn't understand why Qianya didn't go to them for help, but instead looked for her, a person whose cultivation seemed to be only at the fifth level of Qi cultivation.
"Those who came here early have eaten too much and have been petrified and cannot recover. I know that if you want to exert your strength far beyond ordinary people, you must use something called spiritual power, and under the influence of Huang Luteng, you cannot use spiritual power, so it is useless to find other people. ”
Since the other party wanted her to help, she naturally had to take the opportunity to learn something about it in case Qianya crossed the river and demolished the bridge.
"What do you mean when you said we 'fell'?"
This is not a secret to the people who live here, Qianya said very simply, "We are actually an underground world here, and there will be random passages in the sky of this world leading to the outside world, and you will fall out of there. Qianya saw the doubts in Yao Qianqian's heart, and she continued, "I know you want to ask why there is still sunrise and sunset since this is the underworld. Actually, I haven't seen the miraculous sun with my own eyes, I only heard my father say that a long, long time ago a powerful god came here, and there was no sunlight here, so I could only see through the glowing plants. When he came, he taught us how to hunt and created the sun. ”
Yao Qianqian looked up at the sky, if what Qianya said was true, then the one in the sky was definitely not the sun, it must be a magic weapon refined by a certain monk.
"If what you say is true, then why should I help you, and what good is it to help you?"
Qianya smiled very firmly, "Isn't it good to be able to return to the world you used to live in?" Your world must be a hundred times more exciting than here, don't you want to go back? ”
Yao Qianqian had to admit that Qianya was very good at grasping her psychology, and it was indeed very tempting for her to be able to return to the original world, but this did not mean that she would agree so easily.
"There are more people in that world who want to kill me, and it's actually good to stay here."
Qianya stared at Yao Qianqian intently, as if to judge whether what Yao Qianqian said was true.
"Well, if you can help me do what I'm going to do, I can help you fulfill your wishes within the scope of my ability."
"No, you have to pay half of the pay first, and who knows if you will cross the river and tear down the bridge."
Qianya didn't get angry when she heard this, but laughed, if her partner was a fool who only knew how to be greedy, she would be worried, but now she didn't have to worry about it at all.
"Yes."
"I can promise to help you, but the person I'm traveling with needs to talk to you on their own, and I can't guarantee that he will help you too."
"You're not companions?" Qianya was very keenly aware of the differences in Yao Qianqian's words.
"Not exactly."
"I see, I'll sneak over tonight, I hope you don't go to bed too early."
There is nothing wrong with this sentence itself, but Yao Qianqian doesn't think it sounds weird, what does it mean to "I hope you don't go to bed too early", this is too ambiguous, okay?!
"I want the seeds of your plants in this world, come to me with the seeds, the more varieties the better, I hope you have some sincerity."
Qianya nodded, "I'll bring something to talk to you about how to cooperate." (To be continued.) )
