Several people who were subdued by Xu Ning found that he had no malicious intent, and they put away their weapons one after another, more appropriately, picked them up from the ground. Xu Ning saw it thoroughly that these people's ability on the water was indeed very strong, but in this dim hole, it was like a school of fish falling into a mud pit, and he was an osprey eyeing him.

"Don't worry, I didn't mean to hurt you." Xu Ning scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "It's just to ask for an explanation, but I didn't expect to face a tribe." ”

"I admit that I shouldn't have robbed you, and since you have nothing to lose, please leave! We're going to move quickly, you're going to be in big trouble if you're late. The person in the middle took a step forward and said, he was one of the self-proclaimed "Jiangxia Five Ghosts", and it seemed that he was the leader.

"This ......" Xu Ning was a little unwilling, and glanced at a large group of people behind, not to mention hundreds of people, old and weak, women and children, the air is not only suffocated but also very dirty, in such an environment, even if it is not suffocated, there will be a lot of problems in the body.

"What? Do you want possessions? We don't even have anything to eat here! The leader of the five ghosts in Jiangxia said coldly.

"I am not a robber, how can I think so? I'm just wondering, why do so many of you have to hide in this dark cave? Besides, it looks like everyone has a disease! ”

"It's none of your business!" The young leader said viciously, and the water-splitting thorn in his hand was raised again.

"Sharon! Stop it! A majestic voice came, not loud. It was not loud either, accompanied by a violent cough.

But it was very effective, the young man immediately put down the water splitting spine in his hand, turned around with the others, Xu Ning looked over one after another, and saw a rickety body slowly walking over.

In the dark, Xu Ning seemed to feel such a person, so he didn't move at all.

The figure's movements were very slow, and it could be seen that every step forward was difficult, and Xu Ning frowned. The faint breath of Tong Guò can also be felt. The old man's body was filled with poisonous gas.

"Don't be rude!"

"Great Elder, but ......"

"I've already said it, don't cause trouble outside, do you want to kill the last bloodline of the Jiangxia clan?!"

One word. The "Jiangxia Five Ghosts" in front of him lowered their heads. The spikes in his hands were thrown to the ground.

Great Elder? Xu Ning was shocked in his heart. It seems that his speculation is correct, as soon as he leaves the Savage Land, he encounters a legendary driven race. The behavior of these people is not at all like the people of the Dongzhou Empire. Probably one of the twenty-five tribes that were lost a long time ago.

The so-called driven races, or lost tribes, refer to what happened more than a thousand years ago.

This has to start from the process of establishing a country in the Soul Continent, the so-called five great empires in the east, west, north and south and Central Continent originally did not exist, and in the entire Soul Continent, there are many large and small countries scattered, as well as some huge tribes and families, and that period can be regarded as the Warring States Period of the Soul Continent. Wars and battles occur almost every day, and the formation of this view can also be seen as being established during that period.

After years of fighting and conquest, the natural law of the jungle eliminated many small countries and tribes, whether it was human beings, monsters, undead, elves and gods, and gradually began to enter a situation of great unity, and with the expansion of this situation, people realized the danger of war, interests are the eternal community, all, the five empires were finally established, and a new round of hostilities continued to unfold.

It is obvious that this hostility is different from the previous ones. Previous wars were fought to gain the right to survive, while new hostile conquests were fought to satisfy ambition and domination.

After a long time, the five empires were finally established, and the feuds between them gradually decreased, and the soul continent entered an illusion of peace. Although the dark and barbaric behavior still existed, on the surface, after all, many people were able to live a solid life, and the status of the family and the clan was preserved, so the system began to be maintained.

However, there were still forces that were unwilling to submit to the Five Great Empires, and in order to facilitate the distinction, the Five Great Empires divided these forces and then began to brutally suppress them. When dealing with other enemies, those who can be appeased and bribed rarely use force, but for these people, just one word, kill!

The barbarians of the north would have been treated in the same way if they had not been included in the scope of the Northland Empire.

All of these forces have fled to the edge of the Soul Continent, and there are also five larger kingdoms that confront each other with the five great empires, known as the Land of Gold, the Land of Wood, the Land of Water, the Land of Fire, and the Land of Earth.

The reason why it is so named is because of their living environment and special skills, such as the Fire Country, most of the exercises practiced by the people here are mainly based on the fire element, although Xu Ning also has some fire elements in his body, and the exercises also tend to use the fire element, but compared with the real Fire Country people, it is still far behind.

And these people in front of him look like people from the country of water.

Known as the "Elemental Empire", each of these five kingdoms has five different tribes, who are recognized by the kingdom and unite with the other four tribes to protect the country against the five empires.

It's just that this structure of existence is very weak, although they are all afraid of their own country, but there are still zài fights with each other, and even the five tribes in a country also have zài contradictions. Taking advantage of these contradictions, the five empires easily drove these forces away, and in the last hundred years, there is almost no trace of these forces.

The Land of Water is the largest of the five peripheral kingdoms of Jinmu, Water, Fire and Earth, and it is also the most powerful, and it is also the mainstay in the process of fighting against the five empires, so it is regarded as a thorn in the side. Compared to the use of pure force, the way in which the five empires used spies and traitors was simply beyond the reach of the Water Country.

The Land of Water and the other four kingdoms are all because of the appearance of traitors. and means of discord, which are becoming more and more vulnerable. In particular, in the Land of Water, in the later period, there was an open infighting between five different tribes, and the emperor of the Land of Water was killed, and the prince fled.

Xu Ning absolutely couldn't believe that the originally huge Jiangxia tribe was now left with such a small number of people.

"Your Excellency Elder, if I guessed correctly, you should be the Jiangxia tribe of the Water Country!" Xu Ning said lightly.

"Not bad." The old man replied in a low voice, "I can see that." You're not after us. If we could, we'd be migrating now. ”

"I was just passing through."

"Are you from the Eastern Zhou Empire?" The Jiangxia Clan Elder asked coldly.

"Oh, how do you know?" Xu Ning asked in surprise.

"Breath, for us. It's easy to tell. But. Your constitution is special. I don't see what kind of sect or family you belong to. But it's not the same as those who hunted us down. ”

"What, are the people of the Five Great Empires still hunting you down?"

"Once!"

"Oh? Now, if it's not the people of the Five Great Empires who are threatening your safety. Why hide in such a place? ”

"Hmph, you think so highly of us! With these old and weak women and children, I am afraid that the five empires will not bother to kill us at all. To avoid are the Silver Springs tribe, who belong to the same protection tribe of the Water Country as us, but the Water Country is no longer there, and they have always coveted the treasure of our tribe - the Tearful Eye Pearl! ”

"Great Elder!"

Xia Long, the leader of the Jiangxia Five Ghosts, was shocked and immediately stood in front of Xu Ning to protect the Great Elder.

"Great Elder, if you leak this secret, aren't you afraid that this person will ......?"

"Sharon, if this person really had bad intentions, he would have done it a long time ago." The Great Elder of the Jiangxia Clan patted Xia Long's shoulder and said.

Xu Ning smiled bitterly, it seems that few people are afraid of being like this, ordinary people are very arrogant, and now he is a little unaccustomed to it.

The tear-eyed pearl, as the name suggests, is the shape of a tear-like eye. Although Xu Ning had never seen it, when he entered the cave, he saw a very simple totem pattern on the earthen wall, which should have been drawn casually. It was like a girl's eyes were weeping.

Regardless, the faith of these people remains strong.

"As the elder said, don't be afraid, I'm just passing through here, and I don't know anything about your grievances. Since you are in trouble, I can't stand idly by, so I can introduce you to a safe place. Xu Ning said sincerely, he had his own plan in his heart, these people's kung fu on the water would definitely be useful in the future. The possibility of entering the five empires is not high, but entering the Pamirs, there is no problem.

"Thank you for your kindness, but we are the people of the Land of Water, and we can't defect to other places even if we die."

"How can this be considered a defection?" Xu Ning said puzzledly, "If the country of water still exists and can protect you, naturally it is a different matter. Now, the land of water has existed in name only, and even if you are loyal, you have no object. ”

"No, the descendants of the Water Country are still alive, sooner or later we will find him one day after tomorrow, and by that time, the Jiangxia Clan will become the largest tribe in the Water Country!" The Great Elder said categorically.

Xu Ning was helpless and couldn't laugh, and sighed and said, "The premise is whether you can wait until that day." What are the chances of surviving if you are found by your rival, the Silver Spring Tribe, or if other opponents encounter you before this? Even if there are no enemies, in such an environment, the elderly and children will die of illness sooner or later! For the sake of your so-called dignity, isn't even life important? The Land of Water, like the Moon in the Water, seems to me to be nothing more than an illusory illusion. ”

A violent cough was heard in the distance, and the scene became very bleak.

"Come with me! I don't mean anything malicious! Xu Ning said sincerely.

"Thanks, no." The elder said arrogantly, "We'll move ourselves after we'll rest for a while." ”

"Haha, Old Man Xia, you really should listen to this kid from the Dongzhou Empire! Now, none of you can escape! ”

Suddenly, accompanied by two sharp flying sounds, an arrogant voice came! (To be continued......)
