Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
That voice was full of an arrogant and domineering taste, which made Zhang Tie think of the former second ancestors of Black Flame City as soon as he heard it.
As soon as the voice fell, the team of cavalry had already rushed to the front of the convoy, but it was not too much, but stopped when it was more than ten meters away from the convoy, Zhang Tie looked at the expressions on the faces of the other people in the convoy, and now the expressions on everyone's faces were not afraid and hateful, but just a little complicated, just from this point of view, Zhang Tie knew that the relationship between the Gray Eagle Tribe and these people was not very tense.
The old man with Aurora also stroked his chest slightly to one of the fellows in the cavalry.
Most of the cavalry's mounts are a kind of Norman ironhorn-like creatures, very similar to rhinoceros, only the mount of one person in the middle of the cavalry is particularly fierce and tall, it is an animal almost two meters high, a pair of three-foot-long sword-like fangs spit out from the mouth of the fierce creature, the silver-gray fur has a metal-like strange texture, a pair of golden eyes are very oppressive, where this creature is, The iron-horned mounts next to it all kept a little distance from it.
Sitting on this ferocious mount was a tall man of twenty ** years old. That man has a feeling of self-pride, and it seems that his strength should not be weak.
What made Zhang Tie very interested was that most of these cavalrymen had spear sacs hanging on their mounts, and there were rows of flying spears in the spear sacs, and when he was in Kurgan Village, Zhang Tie knew that many soldiers in the Ice and Snow Wasteland were using throwing spears, but the first time he saw so many people carrying so many flying spears at the same time, Zhang Tie still felt a little fresh.
Because his current identity is completely an unlucky captive, all Zhang Tie did not speak, but stood behind the crowd to see what these guys were going to do.
"Nurdo, why did you come to our Gray Eagle Tribe?" Aurora looked coldly at the cavalry rushing over and asked unceremoniously.
"I came to the Gray Eagle Tribe to discuss something with you!" Nurdo said unconcernedly.
"What is there to discuss between us?"
"Hah...... Ha ......"
"I heard that the pioneers have found a pre-cataclysmic city in the Hydra Glacier Rift, and there may be a fragment of the Star of God, and now that the pioneers and masters from all over the world are rushing to the Hydra Glacier Crack to prepare a windfall, my dear cousin, don't you have any idea in the face of this wealth that is placed in front of your doorstep?"
"I know very well what the strength of the Gray Eagle Tribe is, we only do what we can, if you want to find cannon fodder, you are looking for the wrong person!" Aurora snorted coldly.
"Don't say it so absolutely, Aurora......" The man riding on the fierce mount straightened his waist slightly, leaned forward, and looked at Aurora condescendingly, "Our strength is naturally not enough to compete for the fragments of the Star of God, this kind of thing mixed with a master of the Sword Saint level is not something we can interfere with, but do you know, the things in the ruins that appear this time may be beyond your imagination, since this ruins were found in the Ice and Snow Wasteland, Then there is no reason for those foreign pioneers to take advantage of all the advantages, except for your gray eagle tribe, the various tribes in the south have already moved, ready to organize people to take a look below, I am for the sake of relatives, I specially came to remind you, lest you miss the opportunity! β
Hearing this, Aurora groaned slightly......
Zhang Tie listened on the sidelines, and was secretly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that this time the ruins in the Hydra Glacier crack would become more and more troublesome, and even the various tribes here couldn't help but want to make a move, you know, the ruins are all old antiques buried in the ground, especially the ruins before the cataclysm, which are less than a thousand years ago, and many times the so-called ruins before the cataclysm basically have little value except for some broken copper and iron.
"Aurora, if you want to participate, then, in two days, take the Storm Bear Warriors of your tribe to the mouth of the Fichar River to gather, the Gray Eagle Tribe is also an eagle-level tribe in the southern part of the wasteland, you must not let the Gray Eagle Tribe fall under your hands, if it becomes a Squirrel Tribe, it will be bad, hahahaha......" In the arrogant laughter, Nurdo and his team of cavalry left like the wind again.
After standing quietly for a few seconds, Aurora waved her hand, "Back to the tribe......
β¦β¦
From here to the Gray Eagle Tribe, it was only a distance of less than two kilometers, and in a short time, the mighty convoy came to the outside of the tribe.
This tribe is much larger than Kurgan Village, but the buildings in the tribe are no different from those in Kurgan Village, all of them are low wooden houses, tall buildings and stone buildings are very few, if the population is estimated by the number and density of buildings, Zhang Tie estimates that the population of this tribe is about 30,000 to 50,000.
Seeing the convoy coming back, many children in the tribe ran out of the tribe from afar, chasing the convoy excitedly.
"There's salt, I see salt!"
"And sugar, those boxes are filled with sugar!"
The children screamed with excitement, especially after several people in the convoy threw two handfuls of candy at them.
Aurora was like a star at this time, walking in front of the convoy, receiving the cheers of others, and waving her arms to the crowd around her from time to time.
Zhang Tie walked with the convoy, observing the environment as he went, and many of the families in this tribe had livestock in their yards, and most of those livestock were elk, as well as sheep and other things.
There are some simple processing workshops in the tribe, the most conspicuous is of course the processing workshop of sea buckthorn wine, the smell of sea buckthorn wine, Zhang Tie smelled it from afar, and the iron processing workshop was thick with smoke, and there were bursts of knocking sound from the tinkling inside, and some of the small number of swords, flying spears, and some daily necessities processed into semi-finished products were hung on the wall outside the blacksmith's workshop.
In a yard on the side of the road, Zhang Tie saw many women in the tribe tanning leather, and the tanned leathers were piled up in bundles and piles of adults in that yard, just at a glance, Zhang Tie almost jumped up, and the appearance of those leathers was a wolf, a giant wolf larger than an ordinary wolf, and a giant wolf in the wasteland with gray-white fur.
If it weren't for the fact that there was such a large group of people around, Zhang Tie would almost laugh out loud, what did the leather of these wasteland giant wolves mean? This means that just not far from this tribe, you can hunt the giant wolves of the wasteland, with these giant wolves, is your own giant wolf Seven Power Fruit still far away?
"I heard that there is a beast tide here, what, how is the giant wolf of the wasteland here?" Zhang Tie asked Seton next to him in a casual tone.
"Well, it's a lot, but we've long been accustomed to it, the tribe is very safe, the priests of the tribe have imposed bloody territory on the land around the tribe, the giant wolf will not break into the range of the tribe, the gray eagle tribe has survived here for hundreds of years, and has long known how to deal with these beasts, every few years, the beast tide of the giant wolf here will explode once, bringing us some extra money, and the warriors in the tribe take the young men to hunt the wasteland giant wolf during the day, which can make some money and train people!" , Seton didn't expect Zhang Tie to ask the meaning of this sentence at all, so he didn't have any heart, and directly told Zhang Tie everything he wanted to know.
"By the way, I just listened to the conversation between that person and Aurora, and Aurora seems to have a very high status in the Gray Eagle Tribe?"
"Aurora's mother is the priest of the tribe, Aurora's father is the patriarch of the tribe, O'Laura is going to inherit the position of the tribal patriarch, this tribe is Aurora's, do you say she has any status here?" Seton muffled.
"Ahh This answer really surprised Zhang Tie, he didn't expect that the woman wearing the mask still had this identity, "Then how can she still be a bounty hunter, this profession is very dangerous, would her parents watch her take such a risk?" β
"Aurora's mother and father are no longer there...... Seton's voice lowered suddenly, he glanced at Zhang Tie, his eyes were full of vicissitudes and helplessness, "People have to do something they don't like to do many times in this life, especially people in some special positions, in the past, when Aurora's parents were still alive, Aurora was just an innocent and beautiful little girl, she didn't even kill a bug, when she was young, I gave her a rabbit, and then the rabbit died, Aurora cried for two whole days......"
In this era, what problems will a woman, a tribal heir who has lost the most dependence, Zhang Tie just thinks about it in his mind, and he roughly knows it, this is like a child who suddenly inherits a large amount of family property, there will always be some people with ulterior motives who jump out and want to snatch what the child deserves or forcibly occupy it - the relatives with ill intentions seem to have met one just now, and they don't know what else is besides this.
Suddenly, Zhang Tie felt a little sympathetic to Aurora.
"And what about you, what kind of role are you here?"
"I'm the captain of the guard of the Greyhawk Tribe Patriarch!" Seton finally revealed his identity, and Zhang Tie finally realized why Seton was so nervous when he restrained Aurora.
"You'd love to put Aurora in the position of tribal patriarch right now?"
"That's what I'm alive for, if it weren't for that, I would have died twenty years ago!" Seton said with a smile.
Zhang Tie's eyes rolled, "Then, maybe we should have a good talk!" β
"Don't you want to play any tricks?" Sethon looked left and right, and whispered a warning to Zhang Tie.
"Actually, you and Aurora both know that I'm not the kind of person who is heinous!" Zhang Tie also lowered his voice, "If it weren't for the misunderstanding, my ability would not have posed any threat to you, and from beginning to end, I didn't have any ill will towards you, on the contrary, I am very willing to help my friend, of course, not in my current identity and in this state......" Zhang Tie raised his hand as he said or raised his hand, and let Setton look at the confinement collar on his wrist.
"I'll sue Aurora!" After Seton whispered this, he stopped paying attention to Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie nodded, it was not yet time for despair, any opportunity to change his current situation, he wanted to give it a try, what he said just now was not all false, in short, if the cooperation was beneficial to both parties, there was really no unsolvable misunderstanding between him and that woman.
After walking a few hundred meters in the tribe, Zhang Tie saw a relatively tall and imposing building located in the central square of the tribe, which was built on an earthen bag in the center of the tribe, the highest location, and it was built of stone, which looked a little more imposing. Of course, this qiΔ is all relative, and if the same building appeared in a place like Yiyang City or Stargazing City in Huaiyuan County, it would look like a turtle.
When the convoy was about to approach that place, from that building, three people came out at the same time, three old men, the one on the left of the three old men was holding a strange cane in his hand, the whole head and beard were snow-white, although they were separated by a distance, but Zhang Tie had an inexplicable sense of familiarity at the first sight of that person, needless to say, Zhang Tie also knew who that person was - Elder Moko, the priest of the Gray Eagle Tribe.
Elder Mo Ke glanced at Zhang Tie, and the bone blasting needles in Zhang Tie's body moved, and the pain in his body was immediately relieved as soon as he touched it, and it stopped when he clicked it, which made Zhang Tie's heart feel cold.
There are two other people beside Elder Moko, Zhang Tie doesn't know who they are, but the one who can stand with the tribal elder must also be an elder-level figure.
The convoy stopped under the dirt bag.
Aurora walked straight up to the three people, and after coming to it, he said a few words to the three people, and the three of them walked into the building, I don't know if it was an illusion, and when the person in the middle turned around, Zhang Tie felt that the person's eyes stayed on his face for a moment.
Seeing that someone came to count and carry the contents of the cart, Seton Liquor left here with Zhang Tie. After walking for a while, the two men came to a small wooden house.
β¦β¦
"You live here for the time being, don't run around, the power of the bone blasting needle is not something you can bear, don't joke with your own life! Something to eat in the evening will be brought to you in a while! After saying this, and calling a man to stand guard outside the cabin, Setton departed.
Zhang Tie looked at the humble hut and the young man standing guard outside the door, and didn't say anything, but sat down cross-legged on the wooden bed inside the hut, and a spiritual power instantly entered the Black Iron Castle.
"Heller, can you hear me?"
"Lord Castle, Heller is ready to obey your call!"
"You know what I want to ask?"
"As long as the castle lord enters the Black Iron Castle, the imprisonment collar that binds the castle lord now can be removed with a snap of my fingers, but the bone blasting needle in the castle lord's body will have a little problem......"
The information transmitted by Heller made Zhang Tie's heart relax, and at the same time it was tight.
"What's wrong with the bone blasting needle?"
"It's up to the castle lord to get rid of this kind of thing, I can't do it for me!"
"On my own? How do I get rid of this stuff myself? β
"Didn't Lord Castle Master try it just now?"
Zhang Tie thought for a moment, and suddenly his heart moved, "You mean that if I use my battle qi, I can remove the bone blasting needle from my body?" β
"That's right, the so-called Bone Bursting Needle is the secret method of the priests of the Ice and Snow Wasteland, this secret method implanted in your body is not a real needle-shaped metal object, but an energy body condensed by the priests using spiritual power and the special battle qi they cultivate, the essence of the Bone Bursting Needle is actually an active energy that can be controlled by people, this energy will bring great pain and damage to your body, but it is not without loss!"
"You're saying that every time I'm running my battle qi and being attacked by the Bone Blasting Needle, the energy of the Bone Blasting Needle itself will also weaken!"
"Yes, the Bone Blasting Needle's own energy is weakening when it hurts you!"
"Then if the Bone Blasting Needle is so easy to break, how can the priests of the Ice and Snow Wasteland use it to control the people? Wouldn't everyone be able to break this secret method as long as they could endure the pain? Zhang Tie suddenly thought of the key question, since this kind of thing can be resolved in such a simple way, it seems to have lost its meaning.
"Theoretically, this is the case, but in practice it is not so easy, every time the Bone Blasting Needle attacks a person and makes a person feel great pain, although its energy is attenuated, but this attenuation will not be reflected in the feeling it causes to people, can the Lord of the Castle understand what I mean, if a person feels the same huge pain every time he dissolves the Bone Blasting Needle, the pain will never decrease a little bit every time, how many times can that person endure such pain, once, ten, or a hundred times, Human instinct will make him choose to stay away from pain, to escape this hopeless struggle! β
"You mean that the energy of the bone blasting needle works a bit like an erected cone-shaped container, which is filled with water, and I connect a faucet to the bottom of the container, and every time I turn on the faucet, the water is endless, and its flow seems to me to be the same, but the water in the container is gradually decreasing, and until the end, I don't know if the water has dried up?"
"That's right, that's it, until the water in that conical container is completely drained, as long as you screw the faucet to a specific position, the amount of runoff or pain you get will not change, and I believe that those who are under the control of the bone blasting needle probably don't know that every time they run the battle qi, this kind of self-defeating rebellion, is actually consuming the energy of the bone blasting needle, and the principle of this secret method will make people see no hope of getting rid of it! Possibly, even the priest who performed this secret technique did not necessarily know that the energy of the Bone Blasting Needle could be consumed in this way. β
"Will it cause damage to my body if I do this?"
"This is the second point I want to say, the ability to withstand the damage brought by the Iron Fetal Fruit can allow your body to withstand the huge damage caused by the Bone Explosion Needle, and your primary recovery body can help you recover your health quickly after your body suffers damage, and after using these two as the foundation, it is also possible to use the battle qi to resolve the Bone Explosion Needle!"
"What if it were an ordinary person?"
"In terms of the ability of ordinary people's bodies to withstand injuries and restore fΓΉ, after suffering a situation like yours, after 99 people have not completely dissolved the energy of the Bone Blasting Needle, the cumulative effect of the damage brought by the Bone Bursting Needle to the body again and again is enough to destroy his body and exhaust his vitality, and easily kill him, so, in this sense, O'Laura is right, except for the caster himself, the Bone Blasting Needle is almost unsolvable!"
Zhang Tie let out a long breath, and there was a feeling of regaining freedom, "If I want to dissolve these bone blasting needles in my body, how long will it take?" β
"The maximum endurance of your body now is five times a day, each time for twenty minutes, if you continue to persevere, as long as five days, the bone blasting needle in your body can be completely dissolved, I need to remind you that the moment you completely dissolve the bone blasting needle, the caster will have a sense!"
"If I escape now, will the bone blasting needle in my body really burst open and kill me all at once?"
"Yes!"
"No matter how far it goes!"
"Yes, no matter how far away, this thing is like a remote sensing crystal and electromagnetic waves, as long as it is in the same space, its sensing range is not limited by distance, just like many twins are thousands of miles away, but if one is not well, the other will have the same feeling, this is a truth!"
"Well, if that old man wants my life now, then don't I have the ability to resist at all?" Zhang Tie asked, if this is really the case, then it is really almost like waiting to be killed.
"It's not that bad, there is a process for the energy excitation of the Bone Blasting Needle, in fact, it is not as violent as the real explosion, and its energy completes the process of violent release, which will be between 4o seconds and 6o seconds, if it really comes to that time, you will enter the Black Iron Fortress regardless of QiΔ, and different space barriers can cut off the person's induction and control of the Bone Blasting Needle!"
Zhang Tie finally breathed a sigh of relief, if it really came to that time, it was the only way, first return to the Black Iron Castle, and then "digest" the bone blasting needle in the Black Iron Castle before coming out. I hope I don't really go any further, if that's the case, after I come out, I'm afraid that it will only be safe to leave the Ice and Snow Wasteland with a new face. I didn't expect that the process of harvesting the Seven Power Fruit would cause so much trouble this time.
seemed to know Zhang Tie's mood at the moment, and after communicating with Zhang Tie for a long time, Heller finally gave Zhang Tie a surprise.
"Lord Castle Don't worry, in fact, this bone blasting needle is not completely without benefits?"
"The benefits? What are the benefits? β
"Because the process of consuming the energy of the Bone Burst Needle is also the process of your body being attacked by the Bone Burst Needle, this process will quickly promote the growth of the Iron Fetal Fruit, I just calculated, if the Lord of the Castle completely dissolves those Bone Burst Needles in his body, this time the Lord of the Castle can get at least three Iron Fetal Fruits!"
You can actually get three iron fetal fruits, Zhang Tie was stunned for a moment, and finally laughed......
"And good news?"
"What's the good news?"
"The seed of the first sea buckthorn tree that has completed mutation and evolution has come out!" (To be continued...!)
