Chapter One Hundred and Seven: The Demons of the Eastern Forest
"Found the 'Life Essence', do you collect it?"
"Found the 'Life Essence', do you collect it?"
・・・・・・・
"Well, there are so many thousand-year-old trees here." Ye Feng followed the savage back to the tribe, and along the way, he touched the thousand-year-old trees he encountered, and he actually collected the life essence of nearly a hundred ancient trees.
Almost one out of every ten trees contains the essence of life, and according to this density, it is estimated that there may be thousands of thousand-year-old trees in the Savage Valley.
This means that Ye Feng can collect enough life essence for his own upgrade in this valley, which is also worth the trip.
The Savage tribe is located in an ancient ruin, which seems to be a complex of buildings left over from antiquity, full of Buddhist tower buildings. It was ruined, covered with vines and moss, and the interior was dry.
The wild people relied on these ancient houses to live and shelter from the wind and rain. The number of people in the Savage Tribe was about three hundred, and as soon as they felt Ye Feng's spiritual power fluctuate, they rushed out of the house in a swarm, looking at them with curious, hostile, and surprised eyes.
"Roar!"
Among the savages, a huge savage with a height of nearly two meters and five walked out, and it seemed that it should be the leader of the tribe, and roared towards Ye Feng and the others. The leader of the savage who was surrendered by Ye Feng roared a few times in response, pointing at Ye Feng, as if to say that Ye Feng was their new boss.
When the savages heard the shout of the savage leader beside Ye Feng, they suddenly seemed to have smashed the pot open, and they were gurgling. Ye Feng unceremoniously used his spiritual power to deter at this time, and sent a challenge signal to the leader of the savage tribe.
In front of his people, the leader of the wildlings had to respond with a fierce look, although he felt that the tiny alien species in front of him exuded a very unpleasant aura. After a fat beating without suspense, the leader of the savages led the tribe to surrender to Ye Feng.
To a certain extent, these savages are still very smart, know how to judge the situation, and respect the strong. There is no such needless resistance.
After gaining the submission of the savages, Ye Feng and the others could safely carry out the work of searching for the entrance to the treasure in the valley.
Originally, Ye Feng and the others thought that the entrance to the treasure was located in a hidden corner of the ruins where the savages lived, who knows・・・・・・
"Oh my God! This is 'Atunan Temple', and I can't imagine that the legend is true. It would be a huge archaeological discovery! ”
Bai Zhanji held a magnifying glass and carefully examined the strokes and words engraved on the walls in the ruined pagoda building, and exclaimed from time to time.
"Third uncle, aren't you a tomb robber, why are you so excited about archaeology?" Bai Xiaofei looked at Bai Zhanji and looked at him suspiciously.
"You kid knows a fart, tomb robbing is just my uncle's hobby, and my uncle's real identity is actually a professional archaeologist, do you understand!" Bai Zhanji blew his beard and glared, and said excitedly. His neck was red, and it seemed that he had a lot of opinions on Bai Xiaofei's words.
"What is Atunan Temple?" Ye Feng asked flatly.
Bai Zhanji solemnly explained: "It is a treasure temple secretly built before the death of King Jiang Xituo, and there are many precious Buddha treasures buried in the temple. However, this is not the most important thing, the important thing is that the Atunam Temple is located in the Tuowang Castle. The city is a legend of the Bagan Dynasty that is well known to archaeologists, and it is said that before his death, King Gangita built a castle near his real mausoleum and placed a group of people in it to guard his tomb for generations. The ruins of the savage tribe are the ruins of Tuowang City. ”
"It is said that the people of Tawang City also have another important mission, which is to live in seclusion and preserve the blood of the Bagan royal family. Therefore, archaeologists have speculated that if this hidden city really exists, there may be ancient immigrants! In that case, it is really a living ancient! Bai Zhanji said excitedly.
Bai Xiaofei glanced at the wild men wandering outside the house, and asked curiously: "Then where did these ancients go later, were they eaten up by the wild people?" ”
Bai Zhanji shook his head solemnly, stroked the corner of the wall engraved with inscriptions, and said, "No, it's the opposite. Based on the records on the walls, I think it is highly likely that these savages are descendants of this group of ancient people. ”
"How is that possible!" Bai Xiaofei and the others all showed expressions of disbelief. The group of hairy guys outside look like incompletely evolved apes, how can they be descendants of humans, and their ancestors are almost the same, right?
Ye Feng's interest was also aroused, and he looked at Bai Zhanji curiously, waiting for his next words.
Feeling the change in everyone's attitude, Bai Zhanji obviously felt a sense of accomplishment, and excitedly pointed to the inscriptions and patterns on the wall and said, "You see, this piece records the last history of Tuowang City. It was about five hundred years ago. It says that demons have appeared in the valley, and the people have contracted strange diseases, and those who have survived have become delirious, and they have grown like wild beasts, and their hair has grown longer. I guess these ancients must have contracted some kind of strange disease, showing symptoms similar to atavism, and after hundreds of years of evolution, they became the savages we see today. ”
"Remember the altar we just saw in the middle of the ruins? It was the place where the ancients sacrificed, where the savages placed some rough totems and strangely shaped stone piles. This is a good evidence that they have left some of the memories of the ancients. And just now I saw a cemetery on the west side of the ruins, where the wild people consciously buried the bodies of the dead with stones, and seemed to know that it was the place where the dead were buried, which is another evidence. ”
When Bai Zhanji said this, it seemed that it was really the same thing. Through the communication of spiritual power, Ye Feng knew from the savages that they had lived in this valley for a long time for generations, and had always existed here, and had not migrated. If they had been like this hundreds of years ago, they would have been killed by the soldiers of the city of Tuowang, who built the city here. However, there is no memory of fighting humans in the memories of the savages.
In other words, Bai Zhanji's speculation is likely to be true.
"Third uncle, is there a record of where the treasure is located?" Ye Feng asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.
"Yes." Bai Zhanji wiped the moss on the wall, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "The tomb of King Jiang Xituo is at the foot of the easternmost mountain in the valley, but there is a note on it that makes me feel like my heart is hairy. It says, 'The forests of the east are occupied by demons, and the resting place of the former kings is entrenched in the terrible demon kings, who have devoured the lives of more than 300 of our warriors.' It seems that there is something dangerous on the other side of the mausoleum, I don't know what it is, it still exists. Mr. Gu, what do you say? ”
"I'll ask the wildling leader first." Ye Feng used his gestures to match his spiritual power to inquire about the situation in the east of the valley of the savage leader. After the leader of the savages understood what he meant, he immediately showed a frightened look, and shouted quickly, as if to dissuade Ye Feng from going over.
Without Ye Feng's explanation, Bai Zhanji and the others could see from the reaction of the leader of the savages that there was really something terrible in the eastern forest.
Even these fierce savages, who were as powerful as oxen, did not dare to set foot in the valley to the east for half a step, and one can imagine what a terrible existence the demons in the records of the ancients were. Hundreds of years ago, they were able to devour an army of 300 people, but what would these demons become now?
"I think that such a thing as a demon is completely difficult for our heroic gods, don't you say? Brother Gu, don't worry, I will never hinder you, I will obediently stay here and wait for you to come back, after all, I can't help a weak scholar like me, don't you always say? ”
Bai Xiaofei said righteously, smiling at Ye Feng.
"Whatever you want. But I want to warn you, the savages are in heat right now, you can do it. After Ye Feng finished speaking, he walked out of the ruins with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.
Bai Xiaofei and the others looked around, and were furious by the strange eyes of a group of wild people, and their lower bodies were cold, and they hurriedly followed Ye Feng, and they all resolutely stated that they wanted to live and die with Ye Feng.
Seeing that Ye Feng and the others were about to enter the eastern forest, the savages screamed a few times in concern. Ye Feng calmed them with his spiritual power and waved his hand, signaling them not to worry.
Under the worried and somewhat frightened eyes of the wild people, the figures of Ye Feng and the others disappeared into the jungle.
