Chapter Ninety-Six: The Tribe
Yan Xing let go of the dragon's claws, and the young man quickly retracted his legs, his face solemn, as if he was facing a great enemy.
"You are strong, what kind of brute beast are you?" the young man questioned, his eyes revealing vigilance, as if he realized that he had underestimated the white young beast in front of him, and he immediately became serious.
Yan Xing couldn't cry or laugh when he saw this scene, and quickly explained: "I'm not a brute beast, I just happened to pass by here and bumped into you hunting brute beasts, you can rest assured, I have no malicious intent." ”
But the boy was unmoved, still vigilant.
Seeing that he couldn't convince him, Yan Xing sighed and said, "In Xia Yan Xing, he is from the Dragon Clan of the Eastern Qianjie. ”
"Dongqian Realm, Dragon Clan?" the young man thought he had heard these words somewhere, and he thought about it.
The boy seemed to remember something, and said in surprise, "What?!
His eyes widened, and his face suddenly filled with excitement, and he put his fist down, and all guards were removed at once, and his attitude was reversed one hundred and eighty degrees.
Yan Xing breathed a sigh of relief, but to his surprise, the young man actually took advantage of this opportunity to rush up and hug him, and his two strong arms strangled his neck like steel bars, and he was a little out of breath.
"I said why do brute beasts speak, it turns out that it's a brother from outside!" the young man laughed happily, and patted Yan Xing's back with one hand, but his strength was enough to make ordinary people vomit blood.
Originally, Yan Xing thought that he had been tricked and was about to spit on him with a mouthful of dragon breath, but when he heard him say this, he swallowed the dragon breath back helplessly, and his face was speechless.
The young man let go of Yan Xing, scratched his head, and showed a heartless smile, he said with a little apology: "I'm sorry, because the aura on your body is too similar to that of brute beasts, so I accidentally took you for them." ”
Where does the breath on my body look like a brute beast? He was a little depressed, but he also felt very strange, if you felt it carefully, you could indeed find that there was a special aura on your body, and he didn't know where this aura came from, it might be the dust of the ancient battlefield on his body.
"My name is Dugu Man, they all call me Man, I am the hunter of our village. The young man is very arrogant, but he is a real honest man, which makes Yan Xing feel a little intimate with him.
It wasn't until close contact that Yan Xing saw Duguman's appearance clearly, a pair of scimitar eyebrows on a Chinese face, his eyes were clear and thorough, but his eyes were extremely cold, he was the appearance of a broken army, and his face still had a childish spirit, which made him look less fierce.
The whole body has dragon-like muscles, dark bronze skin, and is nearly two meters tall, wearing animal skin clothes in a primitive style.
Yan Xing's body is one meter, plus the tail is only more than two meters, and the wingspan is three and a half meters, but it is much smaller than Duguman, and he seems to be able to hold Yan Xing up easily.
Ever since he knew that Yan Xing was from the Eastern Cadre Realm, Dugu Man had become extremely enthusiastic, he seemed to be very interested in the outside world, and couldn't wait to hear it: "Can you tell me about the outside world? No one in our tribe has ever gone out, but we know that there is a bigger interface outside called the Eastern Dry Realm." ”
Yan Xing looked at the giant elephant corpse next to him and said, "Aren't your people hungry, why don't you send the meat to the tribe first?"
"Oh, yes!" Dugu Man clapped his hands, looking extremely simple and kind, he nodded and walked to the side of the giant beast, and with a strong pair of hands, he lifted the giant elephant weighing several tons.
"Brother Yanxing, come back to the tribe with me, we will definitely treat you well!"
Dugu Man is extremely enthusiastic, going to the tribe of the aborigines will solve many problems, such as drinking water and staying overnight, Yan Xing still doesn't know if anything strange will happen at night on the ancient battlefield, so he agreed.
Along the way, Dugu Man was running with the giant elephant on his shoulder, and Yan Xing was flying beside him, not fast or slow, and he could clearly feel that the earth was trembling with his steps, and there was an extra crack on the hill with every step. Due to the size difference between him and the giant beast, it looked like a fierce beast running from a distance, which was very intimidating.
Although he ran more than a dozen kilometers, he did not have the slightest tired look on his face, such a physical quality was really terrifying.
Dugu Man asked Yan Xing all kinds of questions while running, such as what kind of race the dragon clan was, whether the demon beasts in the outside world could speak, etc., of course, the most asked was about the Dongqian Realm.
Yan Xing didn't stay in the Dongqian realm for too long, and almost all of the five years of his life were spent in Longxia, so he could only tell him what he had seen and what he knew from "Dongqian Theory".
Whenever Yan Xing said about the blue sky and the boundless ocean, Dugu Man would show a look of incomprehension but very longing and yearning, he may not even know what color blue is, he doesn't know what the sun or moon is, the ocean is a lot of water for him, so much boundless water.
The color of the ancient battlefield is really single, and the cold tones are almost invisible, which makes Dugu Man can't imagine what the Dongqian Realm is like, and all he can think of is probably the Gobi like the ancient battlefield, just like describing the world for a blind man, the world in his mind and the real world may be completely different.
"Are there many people in your tribe who are as strong as you?" Yan Xing asked suddenly.
Dugu Man thought for a while and replied, "Not much, I'm almost the strongest, plus there are only nineteen hunters in my tribe, and all the stronger ones have left for another place." ”
Yan Xing nodded silently when he heard this, he just wanted to make sure that there would be no danger if he went to the tribe, although Dugu Man was very enthusiastic and had no malicious intentions, but it was better to be careful.
Before they knew it, they had run for nearly a hundred miles, and Dugu Man began to gasp, Yan Xing saw a black line suddenly appear in the sky, and Dugu Man told him that it was the city wall, and the tribe was inside.
Yan Xing was shocked, the city wall of the ancient battlefield was an ancient ruin, he immediately asked Dugu Man about the city wall, but Dugu Man said that he was not very clear.
"There is nothing on the city wall, only some dry bones, our ancestors lived here a long time ago, but they left us an ancestral precept to protect this city, but it has been this city to protect us for so long, I really don't know what our ancestors mean. ”
They quickened slightly, and it was only after half an hour that they finally reached the wall.
The black city wall is as high as a kilometer, the width of both sides is difficult to visualize, the city wall does not fall for 10,000 years, it is magnificent and huge, it is like a moat standing on the earth, and it is like a guillotine that breaks the sky, cutting off the blood-colored earth, separating it into two worlds, and a majestic and powerful momentum is coming.
But this city is also quaint and vicissitudes, the water of the moat has long dried up, leaving a deep ditch to besiege the city, the black stone bricks are uneven, there are many damages, the traces of sharp blades, the cracks smashed by the hammer, and the blood stains left on the city wall also tell the tragedy of the past battles, and the years have also carved deep annual rings on it, and the wind of the ancient battlefield has made it suffer from wind and frost.
Yan Xing felt that he was not facing a city, but a veteran who had stood alone here for tens of thousands of years.
He wanted to fly up to see the whole city, but he didn't, and now it was better to follow Duguman to their tribe.
"How many people do you have in your tribe in such a big city?" Yan Xing asked in surprise.
Dugu Man took a breath and said, "Although this city is ours, there are only more than a hundred of us, and the maximum number of people is no more than five hundred. ”
Yan Xing had some doubts in his heart, this city was built in ancient times, and the manpower required to build such a city was unimaginable, and it was built for people to live in, but why is there only a tribe of more than 100 people now?
Moreover, Dugu Man's ancestral training is actually to protect this city, is there something about this city? The city should be used to protect people, why do you need others to protect it?
There are a lot of questions, and these questions are related to ancient times, and Yan Xing knows that he may not be able to know the answer to the question, but it does not prevent him from thinking, which can be regarded as a kind of fun.
The gates of the city were huge, enough for dozens of giant beasts to enter at the same time, and Yan Xing and Dugu Man even looked very small when they walked in.
When Yan Xing walked into the city, he found that he had a misunderstanding of Duguman, and the environment in the city was very different from that outside the city.
There is no reddish-brown soil, no thick bloody atmosphere, and you can see a thin green as soon as you enter the city gate, and there are a few grasses growing on the yellow soil under your feet, and there are trees in the distance.
Except for the dim sky, there is nothing in the city, compared to the red desert outside, it seems that the world in which you are no longer in the battlefield is no longer there.
"At the beginning, it is extremely narrow, only to understand people, repeat dozens of steps, and be cheerful..."
After such a long period of aesthetic fatigue, Yan Xing was already very disgusted with the world outside the city, and coming here was like coming to the Peach Blossom Spring, and his heart was relaxed and calm.
Yan Xing was still wondering how there could be people living in a world with an extremely harsh environment like the Ancient Battlefield, and his mind was still so innocent and simple, but now he understood that there was a cave blessed land hidden in the wasteland.
Following Dugu Man around the woods, Yan Xing saw a village from a distance, with smoke curling from the stove, and firewood had been prepared waiting for Dugu Man to return from hunting.
As they approached, Yan Xing heard all kinds of voices full of life in the village, and a childish voice came: "It's Brother Man who has come back from hunting!"
Yan Xing saw that there were many children at the gate of the village, and they all jumped for joy when they saw Dugu Man carrying a giant elephant.
"It's really a barbarian brother, today's prey is so big, enough for us to eat. A slightly older kid said.
He jumped and ran into the village, shouting half-humming and half-singing: "Brother Barbarian has returned from hunting!"
Immediately, men, women, and children all came out of the tents made of animal skins, and looked at the giant elephant with a look of delight.
A strong and joyful voice rang out.
"Hahaha, big guy, sharpen the knife and boil the water, and eat the dragon elephant tonight!" everyone in the village responded with a smile, and suddenly got busy.
There was a loud "boom", and Duguman threw the giant elephant on the ground outside the village.
Dugu Man took a breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, and shouted with a smile: "It's enough to eat." ”
"Enough to eat!" the village replied playfully again.
Feeling this joyful atmosphere, Yan Xing smiled heartily, and the pressure of today seemed to dissipate.
A little girl ran over, looked at Dugu with admiration and said, "Brother Man is so powerful, the dragon elephant has been caught by you." ”
Dugu Man rubbed her head and said with a smile, "It's nothing, the dragon elephant is not for food yet, you better go and help boil the water, so that you can eat the dragon elephant early." ”
The little girl nodded and went off to the side.
Yan Xing landed and said with a smile, "It's good that you have such a tribe. ”
Duguman didn't know what Yan Xing was feeling, but he was very happy to see him, and he also smiled.
