Athena and Natalia walked side by side at the front, talking and laughing.

The cooperation between the two sides is not only due to the geographical location of Lillli, but also because the two sides have similar personalities and temperaments.

Of course, there is another reason that is not very worthy of the table - the weakness of the village of Lillri.

If you encounter those powerful tribes, you may not communicate with them at all, and even loot all the people and goods. Only a village like Lilli, although still stronger than the caravan, would pay a huge price if you wanted to eat them, and the gain was far less than the loss.

The people of the Abd tribe are kind-hearted, but that doesn't mean they're stupid. If they hadn't been on the fence, their tribe would have perished long ago.

However, Natalia does not know that there is a conspiracy hidden in the darkness of Lilli.

At some point, Lilli has become lively.

Every house lit a brazier to light and keep warm.

The two walked down the street, greeting Natalia from time to time, and as the only caravan that passed through their village, they were still very famous, although they only stayed for a few days each year.

It's just that I don't know why, Natalia always feels that the eyes of these people today are a little strange, but when she looks closely, she doesn't find anything.

Glancing at Lu Yang, Cynthia and the others who were not far behind, Athena asked unintentionally, "Is this young man in the back a new addition this year?" ”

Because Cynthia and the others were all old people from previous years, Natalia immediately understood who she was referring to, but without Lu Yang's permission, she didn't dare to leak his information at will, so she just said lightly: "The wanderers you met on the road, join us for the time being, and go with us for a while." ”

There is nothing wrong with such a statement, it just conceals some important information.

Hearing the word "wanderer", a very hidden light flashed in Athena's eyes, and then the smile on her face became even brighter.

"Come on, we've prepared food and drinks, let's have a good drink today."

"Hahaha, it must be so!"

The crowd soon came to a huge square, on which several huge bonfires roared and rushed up four or five meters high, and the air was smoky.

There are also many mysterious minarets covered with cloth around, and I don't know what they do.

"Hahaha, my friend, welcome to you."

Seeing the figures of several people, a stout woman with a horned helmet stood up and hugged Natalia with a smile.

"This is the Mother of War of the Gusta Tribe."

Cynthia whispered in Lu Yang's ear.

Lilli is just the name of the village, and Gusta is the name of the tribe, which is also the message that Cynthia told Lu Yang on the way.

He nodded in understanding, then shifted his gaze to the other person.

Everyone was drinking and cheering, but she sat quietly on the ground, draped in a robe made of raven feathers, with a thick scarf around her neck, her head slightly bowed, and her whole face buried in the scarf.

Noticing his gaze, Cynthia whispered again: "She is a priest of the Gusta tribe, she has a high status and is also very mysterious, we pass by here every year, she has always been like this, no one has seen her appearance, and she has never said a word to us." ”

"Beast Spirit Walker."

Lu Yang's mouth obviously didn't move, but the voice clearly reached Cynthia's ears.

"And it's a beast spirit walker who is about to get lost in the bear spirit."

Cynthia looked stunned.

Lost in Spirit Bear...... She knew what it meant, the beast spirit walker was about to transform into a bear man and join Volibel's command.

There was one sentence that Lu Yang didn't say, it's not just this beast spirit walker who is about to turn into a bear man.

His majestic divine consciousness spread out and attached itself to everyone, as if he saw the growing tyranny and rage.

Singing, wine, bizarre dances, mysterious legends......

It was a grand feast, and under the hospitality of the Gusta people, several transcendent warriors were drunk and intoxicated in a warm atmosphere.

Zaro, in particular, poured the golden beer into his stomach in a glass that looked more relaxed than water, but soon became drunk, lying around the campfire, muttering something indistinctly, without stirring up a ripple in the boisterous atmosphere.

Later, the stove owners joined in, drinking, dancing, and chatting together.

The two tribes seem to have become a family.

After years of friendly cooperation, the Abd caravan was kept to a minimum against the Gustas, and after Cynthia took the initiative to say that she wanted to be vigilant, the others indulged.

The days of the merchant were too hard.

Not only do you have to contend with the harsh environment, but you also have to be on the lookout for enemies that may appear at any time, including robbers and wild beasts, and even the resilient Frerdjorians will feel exhausted after a long time.

This is also the reason why there must be supply points, in addition to supplies, people also need a certain amount of rest.

In order to increase the speed of travel, and because it is too difficult to choose a suitable place, the supply points of the caravan are selected to the limit, and if there is a problem with one, the next test will increase exponentially, which is very dangerous.

Late at night.

The noise had cleared, and Lilri was back to its quiet appearance.

Natalia suddenly felt a little hot and wanted to reach out to wipe her sweat, but she didn't pull her hand out twice as if she was imprisoned.

She woke up suddenly, and after a brief moment of confusion, she saw the scene in front of her, and her hands and feet became cold.

The cloth on the mysterious minaret has been removed, and the firewood forms an interlocking triangle in the pattern of a dead knot, which is superimposed to form a flaming minaret.

The minaret is surrounded by tall old iron rods, each with the bearman's emblem cast on it, and the skeleton and weapons beneath the iron rods.

It's a ritual...... The thought crossed Natalia's mind, but it wasn't the cause of her panic, what frightened her was that everyone in the caravan, including herself, was tied up and placed between the campfires.

Sacrifice.

It's another term that crosses her mind.

The familiar, enthusiastic Gustas stood silently beside them, looking at them as if crazy and excited.

"Athena, Amanda, what's going on? What do you want to do? Let us go! ”

One eye after another looked at it, and the furious and tyrannical eyes were so familiar that Natalia's heart continued to sink.

"Fuck, it's all your fault, you ruined everything, you deserve to die!"

For the first time, she heard the voice of a mysterious priest clad in raven feathers, like the angry roar of a giant bear. The next moment, her voice was full of joy again.

"However, it doesn't matter, the master's believers are missing, so replace them with us, hahahaha."
