Chapter 182: The Mysterious Desert Man
After the Rose Tribe's worship ceremony, Brother Tiannan became more and more eager for the strength of the tribe, and after returning to the tribe, in addition to letting the Tiannan Guardian officially enter the Free Realm, he also increased his investment in manpower and material resources in the three cities in the western part of the Eastern Continent.
The biggest difference between the Tiannan tribe and other tribes is that the family account system of the Tiannan tribe allows the tribe people to own their own property, and the family account system has been implemented for more than three years, and its various systems are not only more and more perfect, but also bring benefits for all to see.
The tribesmen have money, and the offerings to the tribal gods are more abundant, and because this is a critical moment, Tian Tiannan also has a 20% subsidy for the sacrificial source crystal used by the tribesmen to worship the gods, and this subsidy will be paid by the managers of each city through the monthly salary.
In addition, Tian Tiannan also set up a contribution list in the tribe, and the top three in each month will have rich rewards, and these rewards are basically non-sale.
So it is so unprecedented, for the tribesmen of a tribe, worshipping the gods has become the first thing they do every day, and there is no more coercion, no more unwillingness.
In the sacrificial world, the strength of the tribe is not only based on the number of tribes, or the number of high-level combat power of the tribe, but also the strength of the beliefs of the tribesmen is also a potential measure.
For example, a tribesman who takes the initiative to make an offering and a tribe who passively makes an offering is also an offering point, but there is a clear difference between the effect of the two offerings on the tribal sacrifice to the gods, and with the increase of the power of the sacrifice, this gap will be more obvious!
It is precisely because the tribesmen of the three major cities are scrambling to be the first, crying and shouting to make offerings to the tribal gods, that the three major gods can grow rapidly and powerful at a speed that is difficult for other tribes to achieve in the gods.
Compared to the three of them, the purple dragon that has become a level 9 sacrifice god, the growth rate is not so obvious, after all, it has reached the current highest level, and then there is the intermediate sacrifice god, if you want to be promoted, the accumulation required is terrifying!
After killing two level 9 tribes one after another, Tian Tiannan spent a lot of money in the system a few times, so that he would be able to spend the whole year next year in peace.
After the main focus of development shifted to the three major cities of the Free Realm, Xiaoxiao and other women often needed to go to the upper realm through the teleportation array, and because the escort team moved away, the protection task of the Jingdi Realm was taken over by the First Army, and the beast attendants under their command also began to stay in the mountains of the Northeast Region for a long time, and for a while, the entire tribe seemed to be a lot deserted.
When he has nothing to do, Brother Tiannan either goes to the boundary river to fish or go hunting in the mountains, anyway, he doesn't go to the upper realm, because he knows that once he appears in the free realm, the person in charge of all aspects will need to report to him, so that he will be annoyed and others will be troublesome, so he will simply not appear, and everyone will save trouble.
As a result, the only thing he needs to care about in the entire tribe is the research and development work of the logistics attendants.
In mid-September, a new batch of guns was manufactured, and Tian Tiannan simply volunteered to take out this batch of guns from the equipment department with 12 personal guards and go for test firing.
"Master, are we going to the shooting range or to the mountains?" After coming out, January asked.
"Hmmm..." To be honest, whether it was the mountains or the shooting range, he was tired of the places he could go.
"There you have it, go to the other side!" Just then, Tian Tiannan looked at the vast Gobi across the Jiehe River and suddenly became interested.
After deciding where to go, they took December with them, called the twenty-four polar shadows who were eager to try, and the group crossed the Eastern Boundary River by boat, and began to walk towards the depths of the southeast region of the Jingdi Realm.
"Shadow One, you take a few brothers to explore the way, Shadow Two, you and the rest of the brothers carry us." After traveling dozens of kilometers, Tian Tiannan ordered the eldest and second eldest of the twenty-four polar shadows respectively.
"Whew..." With a low roar, Kageichi and the other ten brothers rushed out, while Kageji and the remaining twelve brothers carried Tian Tiannan and December sisters slowly and leisurely behind.
"It's really the same everywhere!" After walking for a few more hours, looking around, Tian Tiannan was already starting to get a little bored.
At this moment, Keichi returned, only to see him walk up to January and start reporting.
Then, January came to Tian Tiannan's side and translated: "Master, Ying Yi found a human tribe in front of him, and it should be a desert man who escapes from the world!" ”
"Oh? Let's go, Shadow Two, speed up, let's see! As soon as he heard that he had discovered the desert people, Tian Tiannan became interested, and immediately ordered the second shadow carrying him.
"Whew..."
Traveling all the way, soon, the desert tribe that Keichi said appeared in sight.
This is supposed to be a middle-level tribe, small in size, with a population of about 2,000, and the tribal architecture is also very rudimentary.
They were very vigilant about the arrival of Tian Tiannan and his party, which was also in line with the rumors of the desert people in the outside world, a race that never easily came into contact with other human races.
"Whoosh..." When Tian Tiannan was about to continue to get closer, their attack arrived.
Fireballs, ground thorns, unexpectedly, a priest of an intermediate tribe was actually able to release two kinds of sacrificial divine techniques, although the current level of divine skills was like tickling for Tian Tiannan, even if a golden shield was exhausted, the other party could not break it.
"Just shoot them, just wound them!"
"Bang Bang Bang..."
Tian Tiannan knew that if he wanted to have a good chat with these people, it was unrealistic to convince them with virtue, and he could only use strong force to convince them.
Needless to say, December's marksmanship is needless to say, this desert tribe has less than five warriors in total, and they were all put down after one round of shooting, while the other guys who are not even warriors are immediately frightened when they see that the powerful warriors are easily put down.
After that, the Twenty-Four Polar Shadows just gave them a collective long howl, which frightened them into surrendering.
"Respected strong man, old Monroe greets!" Ten minutes later, in a mud house in the center of the tribe, a sixty-year-old man came to Tian Tiannan.
"Old gentleman doesn't have to be like this, you desert people are a little repulsive to other races, so in order to have a chance to talk, I made this decision, please forgive me!" Although he wanted to help the old man, Tian Tiannan was afraid that his actions would scare the other party into fainting, so he could only accept the other party's salute at the risk of breaking his life, and only spoke after he got up.
"Dare to ask the strong man if there is anything he wants to know, Monroe must know everything!" Those who were injured earlier were all cured by Tian Tiannan with healing divine water, so Monroe believed Tian Tiannan's words.
Although he is an unfathomable powerhouse, who makes Brother Tiannan usually have no shelf at all, and looking at Monroe's gaze can even make him feel a little respect, which is a kind of look that a junior should have for an elder.
After living for such a long time, Monroe has seen a lot of people, but he has never seen such a young and strong man in front of him, who is terrifyingly powerful but has no arrogance, and even shows "respect" for him, a bad old man!
Therefore, it is reasonable for Monroe to chat with such a strong man.
"The old man doesn't have to be restrained, come, let's talk while eating!" Smiling, Tian Tiannan began to take things out.
Considering the old man's bad teeth and the scarcity of materials in the desert, he took out milk, peeled fruit, and meat floss bread, all of which were suitable for the old man to eat.
"This..."
"None of this is anything to me, and the old man is welcome." Smiling again, Tian Tiannan directly pushed the things he took out in front of Monroe.
It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, Monroe was reserved for a while, and finally lost under the temptation of food, eating and eating, the corners of the old man's eyes were moist, I don't know whether he was moved by the food, or moved by Tian Tiannan, in short, he cried.
After eating, Monroe's favorability towards Tian Tiannan skyrocketed, with the strength of others, if you want to know anything from him, you don't need to do it at all, plus the trace of respect in Tian Tiannan's eyes that has never dissipated, Monroe even has a feeling of dying without regrets.
It is precisely because of this that Monroe gradually opened the conversation box in front of Tian Tiannan, it turns out that he has definitely not lived in vain in the past few decades, this is a wise old man, he dare not say it anywhere else, at least within this radius of thousands of kilometers, there is nothing he does not know about in hundreds of years.
Even, he is still one of the few desert people who has walked out of the desert, and perhaps it is precisely because of this that he will accept Tian Tiannan, a foreigner, so quickly.
And from him, the first question Tian Tiannan asked, he didn't think it was why desert people would escape from the world, and even some extreme guys hated all foreign races, whether they were human or orc.
"Alas, from the very beginning, naturally because of the harsh environment in which our desert people lived, ancient legends, the ancestors of our desert people were expelled to the desert, the specific reason for the expulsion has been impossible to verify, who is right and who is wrong, I have no right to judge, there is no hatred out of nothing, perhaps, our ancestors really did something wrong..." From his words, it can be heard that this is one of the few people who keeps his sanity well, and perhaps it is precisely because of this that he later decided to go out of the desert to take a look.
"And then?"
"Later, naturally, it was because of various conflicts that the hatred between desert people and other races was exacerbated."
"Especially the Poisoner!"
"Poisoner?"
"That's right! Poisoner, in the desert, in the harsh environment, the races that still survive here tenaciously have to strengthen themselves, that is, to adapt to the harsh environment, but also to guard against hidden dangers. ”
"And among the ways of the beast clan to protect themselves, the most frightening thing is poison, there are horned vipers, rattlesnakes, king cobras in the desert, almost all the snake tribes will use poison, not only that, but even the natural reservoir in the desert, known as the god-given [Green Thorn Giant Pillar] (cactus), the spikes all over the body are also full of poison."
"Naturally, living in such a world, we desert people also gave birth to the most dangerous branch of wizards, the poisoner."
"In the past countless years of war, countless enemies have died at the hands of desert serpents, so that the grudges that have gradually accumulated are like a bottomless sea, which is difficult to erase!"
From Monroe's tone, Tian Tiannan didn't hear too much hatred, but more regret.
Tian Tiannan tried to change himself to the position of a desert person, he definitely couldn't be like the old man in front of him, hatred was easy to pick up, it was too difficult to put it down first.
Since Monroe had walked out of the desert and been in contact with other races when he was young, it was obviously impossible to say that he had not been hostile, and even Tian Tiannan was thinking that the crisis he would experience on this trip was definitely no less than in this desert where danger was everywhere, after all, people's hearts are like the sea, and it is difficult to fathom their depth!
