Chapter 220: The Secret of the Temple

Yes, there is a price to defend the village, and most of the Yavadidi send warriors to defend the town, and the village that is helped has to hand over a certain amount of cattle and sheep.

This number is increasing year by year, and this year, the village will no longer be able to support it.

The situation in the other four villages is not much better.

It's a terrible situation, and I don't know what the Star Council is trying to do to occupy this plain in a similar way to Safe Zone 17. Tang Ling was a little distracted.

Valencia wiped away her tears and continued: "This year is not going to last. Wolf disasters occur every year, and originally our six villages on the grassland watched each other and survived safely. ”

However, in the past three years, most of the Yavadidi have become stronger and more greedy year by year. This time the number of cattle and sheep requested was too large for the people in the village to pay. ”

"The Baltus are for compromise, and they will incite it tomorrow. This time, I think they were able to succeed. ”

"Baltu?" Tang Ling raised his eyebrows, isn't that muscular boy? Isn't he going to marry Valencia?

"Well, Baltu. I don't even know how he came to be like this. We grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and we also had a marriage contract, and he used to be very honest. ”

"However, three years ago, most of the Yavadidi withdrew from the Prairie League, and after Baltu went to the Yavadidi Department once, it was like a different person. If you give up the pride, glory and dignity that you should have insisted on, you will soon become a lackey. Speaking of this, Valencia was full of resentment and couldn't help but pull a handful of grass on the ground.

It turns out that the two of them have feelings, Tang Ling spit out the grass roots in his mouth, and suddenly looked at Valencia and asked a very strange question: "Do you have a huge secret in the six grasslands, that is, the six villages including most of the Wuwadidi?" ”

"Secret? What will be the secret? Valencia felt that she couldn't keep up with Tang Ling's thinking.

"Nor can it be said to be a secret. Hmm, what should I say, is there anything different? Tang Ling tried to give Valencia an idea.

"Different? The annual festival, is it counted? Valencia was a simple girl, and she thought that Tang Ling must have been tired of hearing these about the village, so she wanted to know some strange things.

After all, adventurers are curious, and what can he do but sympathize? He was just a passing, alien teenager.

"The Great Sacrifice? You mean sacrifice? Well, you can talk about it, what makes it different? Tang Ling showed a curious expression, but he was thinking in his heart, trying to find out why the Star Council was so interested in this place.

Tang Ling always had a faint question that was not answered.

That's why did the Council of Stars choose to take control of Safe Zone 17? Is it because of yourself? Not! At first, his identity was not revealed.

Is it because of the corpse wave that was launched in the settlement at the beginning, what do you want to find? No, it was already revealed from that time that Abel had achieved their purpose.

Is it just because of ambition and wants to dominate the world? No, no, no! Such a strategy is only a fool's formulation, and it is not easy to choose a remote place to control, and it will not play a deterrent role in other forces in this world.

If you have this ambition, it is better to attack a weaker safe city, then you can naturally occupy a large territory, and the Council of Stars has this strength.

Tang Ling is a person who will think deeply if he grasps the slightest clue, and will never let go if he doesn't figure it out! And this time, the clue he grabbed was that Safe Zone 17 was very close to the plain.

It's very close, and from the map, it's almost south, closest to a few safe villages in Safe Zone 17.

In the face of Tang Ling's inquiry, Valencia did not doubt that he had him, anyway, the Great Sacrifice was really not a great secret.

So, after taking a deep breath, she spoke: "Our six villages have begun to divide and disagree. But every year before the onset of winter, we still gather together for a sacrifice. ”

"The place of the sacrifice, you've passed there."

"Huh?" Where? Tang Ling tried hard to recall what was different about these places, but he was chased by a group of Udi purple crows, and he really didn't notice anything.

But Udi Crow? Tang Ling scratched his head, suddenly jumped up, covered Valencia's mouth, and said with some eagerness: "Wait a minute, I'll show you something." ”

Suddenly, Tang Ling's hand touched his face, Valencia's heart trembled slightly, and her cheeks were also red.

She could smell Tang Ling's hands, and there was a good-smelling smell of grass on his clothes.

But when she thought that she had such contact with a teenager she had only known for a day, and that she still thought that he smelled good, Valencia was even more embarrassed.

She looked down, glad it was a rainy night, and Donnie couldn't see his shyness.

But when she looked up, the boy had already run away and crept into the tent.

"What a thief." Valencia took a sip, remembering the scene when he met Tang Ling during the day, he was chased by a group of thief birds, Udi Purple Crows, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Two minutes later, Tang Ling appeared, holding a bird's nest in his hand.

Looking at the bird's nest, Valencia was a little speechless, how shameless was it to dig out the nest of the Udi crow? No, this Downey actually took the whole bird's nest!

Although the Udi Crow is a thief bird that can steal anything, they are notoriously low-level, and the more unobtrusive and difficult to describe things, the more interested they are.

For example, women's underwear, or something that girls use every month, especially used... How shameless and shameless it is!

Donnie is going to show himself this now? Valencia was so angry and anxious that if she saw something bad, Donnie would hit him if she was teasing her.

"Look." Tang Ling had already come to Valencia with the bird's nest at this time, he tore off the cloth that had been covering the bird's nest, and said to Valencia with some excitement.

"Look at what to see, don't look!" Valencia was so anxious that she quickly turned her head away and showed a special resistance.

This made Tang Ling a little strange, why was Valencia particularly unfriendly to this bird's nest?! From the moment I saw this bird's nest in the afternoon, I showed a look of contempt for myself.

Why is she still like this now? Could it be that the Udi Crow is the sacred bird of the village of Barbato?

Fortunately, Tang Ling didn't say this idea, otherwise Valencia knew that Tang Ling thought that Udi Purple Crow was the holy bird of their village, and he would have to fight with Tang Ling.

"Look at it." Tang Ling picked it up from Udi's purple crow's nest and handed it to Valencia.

Valencia was anxious and shy, but she was only 17 years old, and she was somewhat curious, and finally couldn't help but open her eyes and glance at the things in Tang Ling's hand.

With just one glance, Valencia couldn't help but let out a low snort, and took the thing in Tang Ling's hand in her hand: "This? You're saying you found this in the nest of the Udi Crow? ”

"These damn thieves! No, it's very serious, I have to tell Abu. ”

"Oh my God! In this matter, even if there is a lot of discord in the six villages, it must be resolved. ”

"Hey, calm down." Tang Ling grabbed Valencia: "The matter should not be as serious as you think, at least in the nest of that group of Udi purple jays, I guarantee that only this one nest has this egg." ”

Yes, Tang Ling took the risk and took away the nest of Udi Purple Crow, not because there was any great treasure in the nest, but because there was an egg in the nest.

This egg is very bizarre, with a silver shell and some unexplained, bizarre totems on it.

Are these totems natural? Apparently not! It's more like a artificially painted totem, dark red, and obviously a feeling that it has faded.

At first, Tang Ling was just passing by the nest of Udi Purple Crow, and he definitely wouldn't find this egg in a flock of vast thief birds.

Coincidentally, the egg is silver, and it reflects sunlight.

At that time, the Udi purple crow that stole the egg happened to fly up, revealing the egg in the nest, and the reflected silver light was suddenly glimpsed by Tang Ling.

Well, even if it is silver light, it may not be able to arouse Tang Ling's interest, the key is that Tang Ling can detect the slightest energy fluctuation on this egg through precise instinct!

What's going on? Even high-level mutant beasts don't necessarily have energy fluctuations, because their own energy has not reached the point where they can release energy and form fluctuations, unless it is a fierce beast, and if it is a fierce beast above the second level.

An egg, there are energy fluctuations? Tang Ling couldn't help but be curious.

So, he took the risk of stealing the egg, and even set it on fire, just to smoke the Udi crows and see if there were any such eggs in the other nests.

Because Tang Ling once suspected, could it be that this is the egg of the 'Bird King' in Udi's Purple Crow? Those strange totems on the eggs were drawn by Udi Crow by his own instinct?

Just like the instinct of a certain monkey to make its own wine, they don't necessarily have any knowledge of the sake itself.

"Xia Xia, when you mentioned the sacrifice, I remembered the totem on the egg, and you told me if this egg was related to your sacrifice?" After briefly recounting the process of getting the egg, Tang Ling directly asked his own question.

Valencia, on the other hand, was a little skeptical.

The young man in front of him not only stole the things of the Udi Purple Crow, but also set a fire and almost burned the nest of the group of thief birds? Oh my God, how lucky he was to be able to get out this afternoon, what a boldness.

But it had already happened, no matter what, Tang Ling's fire proved that the group of Udi crows had only stolen an egg, which was also a lucky thing, and Valencia finally calmed down after taking a few deep breaths.

She stroked the egg in her hand and said, "It does have something to do with our sacrifice. ”

"As I told you, our place of sacrifice is somewhere between the Lake of Tears and the Canyon."

"That place is a secret cave. Even if outsiders find the cave, they won't feel its magic. ”

"Only the people of our six villages know that there is a temple in the depths of the cave. But to enter the temple, you must have a holy blood pill. ”

"Holy Blood Pill? What's that? Tang Ling pulled another grass stalk and put it in his mouth.

"It is a kind of incense made by the blood of our descendants from six villages, mixed with a special blade of grass. Every time you want to open the seal of the temple, you have to light a holy blood pill to..."Valencia knew almost everything, and said almost everything.

But at this time, a majestic and calm voice interrupted Valencia: "My daughter, don't you think you say too much? ”

"Abu, why are you up?" Valencia covered her mouth, she didn't expect her father to suddenly appear at this time.

But Wen Bu ignored Valencia at this time, he looked at Tang Ling, and said word by word: "I listened to a conversation of yours, and I think you are inquiring about our secrets. You should give me an explanation, an outside guest. ”

When he said this, Wenbu's attitude was no longer too friendly.

And Valencia said a little anxiously: "Father, he is my friend. ”

"Valencia, you enter the house, there is no business for you now." Winbu was a gentle father, but once he became stern, Valencia would not dare to refute anything.

"Valencia, you go in. I actually have something to talk to your father about. Tang Ling sighed slightly in his heart, things were so coincidental, he thought it was necessary to give this resolute and upright man an explanation.

In addition, the rest of the things are indeed not for Valencia to participate in, and Tang Ling needs Wen Bu's help.

Valencia had no choice, and after returning the egg in her hand to Tang Ling, she entered the house quite uneasily.

Tang Ling took the egg in his hand, looked at Wen Bu, and said, "Am I supposed to return the thing to its original owner?" ”

"There's no need. Many of these eggs were piled up in the temple, but they could not hatch and were not edible, as their whites and liquid were highly poisonous. If you have any bad intentions against the Temple, die sooner rather than later, because the Temple doesn't have anything special that anyone craves! Its existence is only the spiritual sustenance of our six villages in the grassland. ”

"Sacrificing to the temple is a custom left over from the previous civilization." Winbu said solemnly.

"Actually, it's not me who covets the temple, it should be the Council of the Stars, right? As for me, I'm really just a passerby. Tang Ling suddenly said to Wen Bu.

Winbu froze.

The people in the village don't know about the outside world, but that doesn't mean that Wen Bu doesn't know about it, and when he was young, Wen Bu was also an ambitious young man, and he also traveled abroad.

But after only three years, he returned to the village of Barbatto in discouragement, because he was too weak.

At this moment, Tang Ling suddenly grabbed a cow not far from the side, and easily threw it in his hand a few times: "Uncle Wenbu, I think we need to help each other, what do you think?" ”
