198.Mystic Tribe (3)

Back to business, everyone took advantage of the break to talk about this mysterious tribe. As for why he came to this mysterious tribe, he couldn't dig it out from the mouths of Sheng Shiyao and Zhuang Yu, I plan to ask Sheng Shiyao secretly in private, under normal circumstances, he won't hide it from me.

The discussion and analysis is what will happen to this tribe that lives in the crevices of the mountainside. However, Uba had only entered here ten years ago, and from his lack of information, he only emphasized that there was a man of witchcraft in this tribe, known as the witch god, and he had to be careful if he encountered it.

But who is this man? Nobody knows. This information is equivalent to nothing.

After a short rest, we got up and went deeper, the lighting tools were all equipped with flashlights this time, and we had been in the darkness so many times that even if we changed our clothes, we would carry it with us. Not long after entering, I saw traces of tribes, and sometimes I could see houses made of stone, but I never found any people.

At first, we also opened the stone house to inspect it, and saw that the objects in the house were scattered, as if the owner had taken away some usable migrations, but later we only needed to see that there was nothing in front of the door to know that there was no one inside, so we did not open them one by one for verification. At that time, a thought came to my mind, that is, what did the people of their tribe rely on to survive? If the family is located in the rocks, if it is said that they borrow a rattan ladder to carry food up and down, but the chief of this tribe has signed a contract with Abrahon, and the top of the mountain belongs to them, and the other tribes below do not set foot on each other, so they can't go down the mountain to buy food, do they all rely on hunting for a living?

I don't think it's very likely, and when I enter here from the door, I already see a lot of stone houses, although they are not inhabited now, but they must have been occupied before. Even if a household is counted as two people, this tribe will not be small, so many people only survive on prey in half of the mountain, so it is estimated that there are no animals on the mountain. In retrospect, perhaps this was the most fundamental problem of this tribe, which is why they migrated elsewhere.

It seems that Chief Abron was wise enough to sign an unequal treaty, but on the other hand, he used it to keep the tribe in the mountains, and he could never set foot outside the world. I don't know who will benefit from it.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Uba's shout in his ears: "Someone is behind us!" "When I looked up, a figure passed by, and when I looked back, it was Uba, who seemed to see a figure running before him, and I couldn't help but sweat, and someone was following us without noticing. Zhuang Yu asked everyone to stay where they were and not to disperse, but after waiting for a while, they didn't see Uba come back.

Zhuang Yu sent the only remaining man to investigate, and waited for another half an hour before seeing the man hurrying back, reporting that he had run back to the entrance, but had not found Uba. Zhou Tong sneered and said that he was not afraid of going down the mountain alone, but the man shook his head, and the rattan ladder was still coiled there. Before we came in, we were afraid that if someone came down the mountain and destroyed the rattan ladder, it would cut off the only way down the mountain, so we pulled the rattan ladder up and coiled it at the entrance.

Therefore, if the rattan ladder is still there, it is impossible for Uba to escape down the mountain alone as Zhou Tong said. But from the time we came here, on this road, how could we not find people? Don't...... I saw that Zhuang Yu's face was frighteningly heavy, because there was only one possibility that he could not find Uba, that is, he chased the man who followed us to the entrance, and unfortunately fell down the mountain.

But I heard Sheng Shiyao's voice in my ears: "It's not so bad, this place is not familiar to us, it seems that there is only this way, but it may not be, otherwise how can anyone be behind us?" ”

Listening to his analysis, I suddenly felt that it made sense. If the rattan ladder is gone, then it is impossible for someone to climb up from the bottom of the mountain, so the person who followed us must be a person from the tribe in the mountain, it seems that the sentry at the entrance is deserted, but in fact there are still people guarding in the dark. In the end, he decided to move on, Uba's ability is obvious to all, and he is a person from this mountain, he is much more familiar with this mountain environment than we are, and under normal circumstances, he will not have an accident.

The creation of nature is really magical, if it is normal to say that there is such a crack in the mountain wall, but this gap is too big to describe, we have walked a long way into the hinterland, but the terrain structure is somewhat clear. The entrance is flat, and then it is downhill, the slope is not steep, and after a slope, it is flat, and then downhill, roughly calculated, if the altitude of the entrance is more than 1,000 meters, then we should be in a position of seven or eight hundred meters.

Because it is a hundred thousand mountains, the mountains in this area are all connected, and they are all more than a kilometer high, so we are equivalent to shuttling between the bellicities of several mountains. It is also possible because of the peculiar geography of this place.

Needless to say, the further you go inside, the more stone houses there are, from the initial scattered to the whole row. But the strange thing is that I haven't seen anyone haunting, which is very weird. I wondered whimsically, could there be a secret room under the stone house, where the tribe was hidden? But the idea was immediately overturned, they were already living alone in the mountains, and no one came to invade, so why should they hide.

Walking to a clearing, only to hear a light sigh from whose mouth overflowed, we all paused, found that there was a stone tablet erected there, approached with a flashlight, and carved a line of words in vermilion: It is strictly forbidden for the Qingwu tribe to enter the clan!

What does this mean...... There are actually two tribes in this mountain? One is called the Qingwu tribe and the other is called the Ji tribe, and the two seem to be still hostile. Zhou Tong sighed twice and then judged: "It's not that this Qingwu tribe will be wiped out by this tribe, so we haven't seen anyone along the way." ”

Without waiting for the rest of the people to express their opinions, they heard Jian Ningyi shouting softly from the side: "Look over there!" "Looking at the flashlight shining from her, there seems to be a pattern carved on the stone wall that crosses the forbidden line. Anyway, we are not from these two tribes, and we did not hesitate to step over, and when we came to the stone wall, many flashlights illuminated the wall and expanded, and when we saw the pattern on the wall, everyone was stunned.

A huge human face, but the body of a bird. Maybe it's not as ugly as the bird monster we've ever seen, and this human face should be the face of a woman painted from the depiction technique, but for some reason, I always feel weird. Maybe it's because it's too huge, or it may be because of the bird's body, especially because I have a deep feeling for the Shichi people's facial mask layer, so when I look at the face in front of me, I can't help but feel cold.

I heard Jian Ningyi asking, "What does the pattern of this human face and bird body represent?" Zhuang Yu replied: "It should be a totem representing a tribe." "My heart moved, I looked back at the road, and from the direction, this totem should represent the Ji tribe.

We couldn't get a glimpse of the tribe with just a stone wall carving, so we stopped for a moment and then went deeper. After walking for a while, I felt that there was a clear difference, there was no stone house again, what I could see was a stone table, a stone bench and a stone bed, and some daily necessities piled up next to it, as if this tribe lived in a group, and there was no distinction between one household and one household.

In fact, living in a cave, it is true that there is no need for a shed, the natural roof is there, and in the depths of the hinterland of the mountain, the mountain wind will not be too big, not too cold, but group life, regardless of the family is still rare. Some of them are like primitive tribal peoples.

Is there anyone like this, you can see it all at a glance, it's really strange, the two tribes before and after are empty, what has happened in the past ten years, so that people have moved away? It was Sheng Shiyao and Zhuang Yu who were astonishingly aware, and before we knew it, the two of them swept out like flying arrows, and I chased after them without thinking about it, but they only stopped after two steps, because they had already caught someone and walked from the darkness.

The man was dressed in rags, his hair was disheveled, and he couldn't see his face clearly, and it was the first person we met when we came in, so we all gathered around. But the man's mouth was babbling and he didn't know what he was talking about, and his eyes, which were covered behind his messy hair, were full of horror, and he could tell from the voice that it should be a woman.

We looked at each other, a little helpless, speaking an indigenous language, no one could understand it, and the only thing that could be understood was that Uba had not returned by this time. After asking to no avail, it was simply a chicken and a duck, we didn't understand what she said, and she couldn't understand what we said, just kept waving her hands and shaking her head, and her body trembled. Brushing aside the messy hair on her face, she found that this woman was still young, at most in her thirties, but her face was yellow and thin, and her eyes were sunken.

Zhuang Yu said that when they caught her, she was picking up something on the ground to eat, and she looked like she had been hungry for a long time. I went to the corner where I found the woman and looked for it, but there was nothing but a few pieces of rotting wood. Looking closely at the rotten wood, I realized that she was actually eating wood! At this time, I realized one thing, that is, the living items of this tribe along the road can be found everywhere, but there seems to be no ingredients.

In this way, it is likely that the migration was in a hurry, and all the food available for survival was taken away. But why is this young woman still here? She's so embarrassed, she can't live this kind of wood-gnawing life for a long time.

As soon as I said my thoughts, Zhou Tong went to open the woman's mouth, and sure enough, I saw that her teeth were black. Standing here in front of a woman who doesn't understand the language, you can't get an answer, and since you have found someone, there is no reason to let her go, so I decided to take her with me on the road. After walking for a long time, I found a pool, but the water in it was dry. There is a stone slab yard bank next to it, and this pool should be a place for tribal residents to use water, but now the pool is dry and the water is gone.

Suddenly, the woman who was with us struggled, her hands stretched forward, emotional!
