Chapter 613: Miao Prophet
The mountains and rivers of Yungui are vast, and it is also an extremely dangerous place, because the environment and climate here are more similar to those in the other world, so it will become the first choice for many strange beasts to live, Chen Fan found a clean coat from the horse, put it directly on himself, and asked these people about the journey back to Yunxi City.
Qi Guo, who was the leader, took the initiative to say, "Little brother, this place is at least a thousand kilometers away from Yunxi City, you are injured and not suitable for long-distance travel, do you want to find a place to live first, and then set off after recuperating your spirits?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Fan thought about it, now he is indeed injured a lot, the injury is not serious, the key is that his Yuan Force is damaged, and he cannot completely recover in a short period of time, calculate the time, he has been away from Yunxi City for more than a month, and the itinerary is not too tense, so he nodded and responded, "Where do you live?" ”
Qi Guo immediately said, "We live in Yan Village, which is twenty miles away from here, and the supplies in the village have been exhausted recently, so we ventured out to find these consumables, and I didn't expect to meet these snake people halfway, so we ......."
Chen Fan interrupted him and said, "Okay, I can go with you next." ”
For Chen Fan, now he really needs to find a suitable place to regulate his body, no matter where he is, as long as there is enough food and water, he can escort this team for free.
Qi Guo and Zeng Jian looked at each other, their eyes suddenly became a little excited, and soon Qi Guo said, "Thank you so much, let's go quickly, there are still two or three hours before it gets dark, once it is night, this generation will be even more unsafe." ”
In the subsequent trip, Qi Guo began to be close to Chen Fan intentionally or unintentionally, and he was inquiring about Chen Fan's origin, Chen Fan just responded lightly a few times, and did not continue to talk deeply, this area is indeed not too calm, just walking out of that jungle area, the team has encountered at least three groups of monster attacks.
Of course, these monsters that appeared near the jungle were not powerful, most of them were just junior combat power, even if Chen Fan didn't make a move, Qi Guo and Zeng Jian could handle it.
After running all the way, everyone finally came to the rock village before dark, the village is built on the mountain, there are hardly too many buildings to see, the villagers have dug out a rock cave in the mountain wall, and use these caves as their own residence, although the living environment of the cave is not as good as the real house, but the solidity is far beyond the ordinary building, and the risk of encountering the sneak attack of foreign beasts is largely avoided.
Chen Fan came to the entrance of the village, squinted his eyes and looked around, and soon the residents of Yan Village took the initiative to greet Qi Guo and the others, and with a rough sweep, there were about two hundred people.
There were also a few corpses in the team that had been gnawed by the monsters, and the people of the village first took these corpses and went to a place in the back mountain to bury them, while Chen Fan walked into the largest cave under the leadership of Qi Guo and was placed in a very clean room.
It wasn't until after settling down that Chen Fan said to Qi Guo, "Have the people in your village always lived in the caves? ”
"It's not all, in fact, these caves were left by our ancestors, at first to bury the deceased people, but then there were frequent monsters in the mountains, so we had to empty these caves and live in them ourselves." ”
Chen Fan nodded to show his understanding, I have to say that although it is very inconvenient for these people to move their homes to the cave, this move does avoid the danger brought by the alien beast to a large extent, along the way, Chen Fan has experienced at least a dozen villages that have been slaughtered by monsters, only the cave where the fruit is located is relatively intact.
It seems that the local indigenous people are gradually adapting to the apocalyptic environment and finding a suitable way for them to survive.
"A few years ago, the prophet warned us that Miao Village would suffer a catastrophe, but no one believed this old man's words, and if we were willing to take measures earlier and move our family to these caves built by the mountains, we might not be so embarrassed." ”
Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, and said in great confusion, "Prophet? ”
In many remote places in China, people still maintain the way of life and beliefs left over from ancient times, the ancestors of the Miao people are the Jiuli tribe, and the Jiuli tribe belongs to the branch of the Wuxian tribe, and there has been a very well-known figure in ancient myths and legends - the god of war Chiyou.
If it had been more than a month ago, Chen Fan would definitely have felt that all this was just ethereal myths and rumors, but since he had experienced Buzhou Mountain, he affirmed the existence of these ancient gods, and was greatly interested, so he took the initiative to ask Qi Guo, "What is the matter with the prophet in your mouth?" ”
"The prophet is the priest of the Miao village, and the only one who can communicate with the "mountain god", and in the Miao tribe of the last century, the prophet has a respected status, and his power is even above the patriarch of the Miao village, but it's not ...... Later young people thought that they were all superstitions, and few people really believed in her anymore. ”
Chen Fan asked again, "Is this prophet still there?" ”
Yuguo nodded in astonishment, and then asked, "Yes, do you want to see her?" ”
Chen Fan nodded bluntly, "Yes!" ”
Through the previous communication with the consciousness of the main hall, Chen Fan learned that the ancient gods did not all fall, some were hit hard in that battle and chose to sleep, and some were banished to an unknown space, and the prophet here was able to detect the existence of the end in advance, which is enough to show that this person is not simple.
Qi Guo frowned, looking very embarrassed.
Chen Fan observed his words and immediately saw his embarrassment, so he asked, "Can't you?" ”
He shook his head and said, "Yes, yes, but the place where the prophet lives is not Iwamura, long before these monsters appeared, she walked into the Shenmiao Cave in the back mountain alone, and usually rarely has contact with us, and the clansmen can't enter the Shenmiao Cave casually, I'm not sure if the prophet wants to see you." ”
Chen Fan got up and said, "You can give it a try, can you please lead the way?" ”
He nodded and said, "Okay, please come with me." ”
Out of Chen Fan's rescue on the road, Qi Guo was extremely polite to him, plus this young man has strong combat power, and staying in the village can protect the safety of the clansmen, so Qi Guo has a lot of respect for Chen Fan and does not dare to disobey at all.
After leaving the cave, Qi Guo first asked Chen Fan to wait where he was for a while, and then called the girl who was in charge of taking care of the horses in the team before, pointed to the girl and said, "Caiyun, please take this little brother to the back mountain to find the prophet." ”
The girl blinked, puzzled, "What are you doing with the prophet?" ”
Without waiting for the fruit to explain, Chen Fan took the initiative to smile and said, "Your prophet can predict this catastrophe in advance before the end comes, and I would love to meet this person who can 'predict the future'." ”
