Chapter 23 Looking forward to the meeting
The slaughter in the Jiuli camp continued, and the warriors of the eight tribes took out their anger at the burning of their tents and the attack, all of which were directed on the poor headhunters.
The headhunters' camp had long since turned into ruins, and all the living creatures that were still panting, none of them were brutally slaughtered by the eight tribes.
The rules of the primitive world are so simple and crude, the winner is king, the loser is the villain, and no one will compare what the truth is.
"Hiss......"
A strange and long roar came from the other side of the valley, piercing into the hearts of every primitive person present.
The people of the eight major tribes immediately stopped the killing in their hands and stood on the spot one after another.
"Ah...... It's him...... Be...... He! ”
I don't know who shouted like this, and instantly broke the mental defense line of everyone present, and all the primitive people, whether it was the stout Shenmu Clan, or the short and ugly Devil Clan, all the primitives of the eight major tribes knelt on the spot.
A gust of wind blew from above, blowing a horn out of the dark clouds that had covered the moon, and a ray of white moonlight cast on the other side of the valley.
A huge black shadow appeared on the horizon, it was an animal, an unusually large animal, it looked like a wild leopard, but it was the size of a black bear.
On the back of the animal was a man, a pitch-black figure, whose face was completely invisible, except for two eyes that glowed with blue light.
"King Chiyou!"
The people of the Shenmu clan were the first to notice the arrival of the Great King, and hurriedly shouted, and suddenly, the primitive people of the entire valley shouted, and eight different languages converged into one sentence:
"King! The king has returned from Blackhead Mountain! King! King! ”
In the distance, the black shadow known as the King of Chiyou slowly took two steps forward, and nine figures of different heights appeared on the horizon behind him, and all the members present did not dare to come out when they saw it.
Those were the nine chiefs of their Jiuli tribal alliance.
I saw the nine chiefs standing on the hillside, looking at the chaos in the valley, when suddenly, the thin man on the far left shouted, took two steps forward, turned around, and howled in a terrible voice:
"O my headhunters! O my tribe! King Chiyou! I've been away with you for less than 10 days! And they have destroyed my people. The king wants to avenge me, I already know that none of them are good......! ”
The headhunter's chief cried exaggeratedly, pointing at the other eight chiefs.
King Chiyou, who was trapped in the shadows, did not say a word, but waved his hand, and a soldier who had just returned from the battlefield ran over and handed over a small arrow, he took it and looked at it carefully for a while, then raised his head and snorted, and several tribal leaders beside him immediately surrounded him and muttered a few words in his ear.
King Chiyou nodded, then opened his mouth to say something, his voice hoarse and rough:
"Where's the captive I'm looking for?"
The headhunter chief lay on the ground with a sad face and cried:
"King! That captive is called Zheng Jing, we just caught it a few days ago, really, he is the same as the one described by the king! There is also a black rope on the hand! And they can understand a variety of languages. But...... Now that my camp is ruined, there are no more prisoners! Ask the king to call the shots for the headhunters! This thing...... The chiefs of the eight major tribes will not escape the blame!! ”
When it comes to the last sentence, the headhunter chief is already a little murderous.
King Chiyou was silent for a few seconds, then beckoned, motioning for the Headhunter Chief to approach him.
The headhunter hesitated for a moment and walked over tremblingly.
Just when the two of them were within 1 step of each other, suddenly King Chiyou attacked!
The black shadow flickered slightly, and a bright metallic light quickly flashed from the black shadow's hand, and the head of the headhunter chief had already fallen, and his body was separated, like a saber decapitation, clean and neat.
The blood of the headhunter chief spurted three feet high, and the head that fell to the ground was still staring at him, with a dead expression.
"Wow, wow! The king is mighty! Mighty! ”
The rest of the tribesmen were stunned at first, and after standing for a while, they began to cheer.
The last headhunter was dead, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The king was not happy at all, and saw him say fiercely to the remaining chiefs of the eight tribes:
"All hands on deck! Find me the escaped captive, I want the guy with the black rope on his wrist! To live! ”
After speaking, King Chiyou viciously broke the arrow made by Lin Yuan in his hand.
"There are two of them! Catch them all for me! ”
………………
……
The cold wind of the rainy night had long since stopped, but the Yan hunters standing in the valley felt a chill to the bone......
"Qiao Jing! Yes! ”
Lin Yuan roared, and he saw a headhunter's stone spear stabbed into the girl's chest.
Qiao Jing didn't seem to realize what was happening, she looked at the enemy who stabbed her in surprise.
And the headhunter holding the stone spear was none other than the captive who had escaped before, the bone slave, his face was covered with blood at this time, and he should have been hiding among the corpses all over the ground and pretending to be dead, but he happened to see Lin Yuan passing by, so he suddenly became troubled.
It's just that he didn't expect that Qiao Jing, the little girl standing on the side, reacted faster than him and blocked a spear for Lin Yuan.
In just a few seconds, the bone slave's assassination plan was immediately declared a failure.
Lin Yuan picked up Qiao Jing and kicked the bone slave in the chest, and then, a flying arrow whistled in the sky and shot into the bone slave's left eye, accompanied by the sound of stone arrows bursting, half of the bone slave's eye socket was blown into a blood hole.
Before the bone slave could scream, a sharp stone dagger slashed his throat from behind him, he wanted to scream, but he couldn't scream anymore, he could only spit out countless blood blisters, and gradually collapsed on the corpses of his own people.
Lin Yuan didn't have the slightest sympathy for what happened to the bone slave, at this moment, he already hated the entire clan of the headhunters!
"Qiao Jing! Wake up! ”
Lin Yuan hugged the little girl's weak body and half-knelt on the ground, Qiao Jing's original hippie smiling expression on weekdays was no longer there, replaced by a pale little face.
Lin Yuan could feel the hot liquid flowing down his left hand, and he knew that it was the blood of the little girl.
"Wake up! Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! We'll go back to the big cave right away, and you'll be fine! ”
Qiao Jing weakly lowered her eyes, saw clearly that it was Lin Yuan who was holding her, smiled reassuringly, and squeezed out a few words with all her might:
Lin Yuan ...... Brother...... don't be sad...... We'll see you again...... Remember...... Yours...... Promise! Add...... Oil ......"
After speaking, the little girl held Lin Yuan's little hand tightly and let go, and the whole person lost her breath.
Lin Yuan suddenly seemed to be like a stone statue, staying on the spot, motionless.
The surrounding captives didn't dare to come out, and looked cautiously at the grieving man in front of them.
"Three chiefs! …… You don't want to die...... No...... Woowoo woo ......"
A childish child's voice came from the tree, it was Hou Yi, he slid down the tree with a short bow, and he was still late for the arrow just now...... The strong self-blame crushed the little boy, he cried as he walked, to him, Qiao Jing was like his own sister, taking good care of him.
Hou Yi's cry seemed to infect the hunters of the Yan tribe, and these men, who were usually strong, couldn't hold back the tears in their eyes at this time, and silently lowered their heads and rubbed their eyes one by one.
Lin Yuan kept his head down, his heart was full of mixed feelings at this time, on the one hand, it was the guilt that he failed to protect his own people, on the other hand, the pain of his good friend's tragic death in front of him, and on the other hand, what Qiao Jing said before he died...... They will see each other again.
That's right...... Lin Yuan almost forgot that they were all traversers with mysterious bracelets...... Death is exactly what they have to go through again and again if they want to return to modern times......
But, even so, holding the corpse of a young girl in his arms, especially this girl who sacrificed to save herself, not to mention how uncomfortable it was......
"Don't be too upset!" A slap lightly placed on Lin Yuan's shoulder, and Lin Yuan looked back.
Zheng Jing didn't know when he had quietly walked behind him, and he was also sympathetic, but he didn't seem to be as sad as the primitive people around him.
Lin Yuan suddenly realized that Zheng Jing was also a traverser, and here, I am afraid that only he could truly understand his feelings.
"She's not really dead...... You know that, right? ”
Zheng Jing lowered his voice and said softly beside Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan nodded, although this was indeed the case, Zheng Jing's emotionless statement still made him not very comfortable.
Lin Yuan shrugged his shoulders, removed Zheng Jing's hand, and then slowly put Qiao Jing's body on the grass, and gently wiped the mud off Qiao Jing's face with his right hand.
Suddenly! Lin Yuan felt a strong vibration in his wrist!
It's the black bracelet! It's vibrating, and it's constantly flickering on the screen.
Lin Yuan took a closer look, and there were a few simple lines of text written on it:
"Syncable Guardian signal detected, do you sync the marker?"
Lin Yuan was taken aback, what does this mean?
Then he found that the watch on Qiao Jing's corpse's wrist had also begun to flicker on the screen, and it was exactly the same as the flickering frequency of his own screen.
"Oh! Oooooooo ”
Zheng Jing also found out, he hurriedly squatted down, looked at the watches of the two people in surprise, and then looked at his own watches, and there was no reaction.
"What is this? What is written on it? Zheng Jing asked.
Lin Yuan didn't answer him, he was engrossed in analyzing the situation in front of him at this time.
...... detected The Guardian?? Could this be Qiao Jing?
And the next "synchronization"? Could it be ......
Could it be that it can be synchronized with Qiao Jing's rebirth time? In this way, no matter when Lin Yuan performed the NDE, then he would definitely be able to resurrect at the same time as Qiao Jing......
It seems that this is exactly what it means.
Lin Yuan figured it out and decisively clicked the confirmation button on the screen.
"Hey!! Wait a minute...... You don't even think about ordering it? Zheng Jing asked worriedly.
Lin Yuan replied lightly: "No", and did not pay attention to Zheng Jing again.
Yes, he doesn't need to explain what he did to anyone else, as long as he thinks it is right in his heart.
In this savage and primitive timeline, there is no difference between right and wrong in everything, only victory and defeat.
He saw that his watch and Qiao Jing's watch began to flicker continuously, then faster and faster, and finally fast like two flickering neon lights.
Eventually, the two watches suddenly went off together when they flickered to their peak.
In the blink of an eye, the watch in Qiao Jing's hand disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared.
"That's it?" Zheng Jing asked with a frown.
Lin Yuan shrugged his shoulders and answered him.
"Big Tooth!"
Lin Yuan commanded in a low voice.
"Here! I'm here! Big Tooth stepped forward, they had been surrounding Lin Yuan before, but they didn't dare to move forward, for fear of disturbing their King Yan.
As for the process of Lin Yuan synchronizing the watch with Qiao Jing just now, it was considered by the primitive people like Big Tooth to be some kind of farewell ceremony of King Yan himself, so they didn't ask much.
"Help me pick up Qiao Jing, I'm going to bring her back to the tribe...... Hou Yi! You help karma and take care of the wounded...... Let's go, let's get back to the tribe quickly. ”
Lin Yuan had a weak order.
Suddenly, he felt that he had no strength in his body, as if the ball full of air had suddenly deflated, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't want to talk to anyone, including Zheng Jing...... Including Big Tooth and Houyi......
In this way, Lin Yuan led the rescued captives and hunters to embark on a journey back to the Yan clan.
The cold wind is blowing more and more intensely.
