Chapter 80, The Brutal New Patriarch
After dawn, continue to walk north, creatures on the ice field are not common, even if they saw animals from a distance, they had already run away before Luo Tian and them got close, so for a day and a half, Luo Tian and Yin Jiu didn't eat anything.
"I said, when are we going to arrive? Isn't that diversion spell of yours usable?" Luo Tian was hungry with his chest against his back, and shouted in dissatisfaction.
"My body hasn't recovered yet, if I communicate with the gods too many times and get too much divine power, my body can't bear it, and I can only use spells normally after I fully recover, I know you're hungry, but you'll soon be at the tribal outpost, and I'll let you eat at that time." ”
After walking for most of the day in Luo Tian and Yin Jiu's infinite fantasy of food, they finally saw the figure of the building on the ground level, and at this time, it was more than two days away from the ancient castle of Beita Mountain, and there were not many references on the ice field, so their route should not have been discovered.
"Here, that's the outpost set up by my tribe, let's go, let you eat meat and drink a lot. Chai Zhuoma swore an oath.
However, when he arrived at the outpost village, Luo Tian saw a dilapidated scene, children shivering in the cold wind in thin animal skins, scrawny women, and depressed men, the stockade looked dilapidated, many wooden houses were full of holes, and the "whirring ......" sound blown by the cold wind, and the shadow of food was never seen.
However, even so, these barbarians still let out a heaven-shattering cheer when they saw Chai Zhuoma.
All the people came up, Luo Tian and they were also surrounded by huge barbarians in the middle, Chai Zhuoma was even more tearful, she didn't go home for ten years, and finally came back and was warmly welcomed by the tribe, which made her heart swell with infinite emotion.
Luo Tian probably couldn't understand this state of mind, he came back from the corpse sea ghost snake three years later, only his mother and sister were particularly welcome, and the others watched coldly.
The seventh princess and the sixth prince were his friends, and the others either looked down on him or were looked down upon by him, so it was even more impossible for someone to cheer his name and then throw him into the sky.
In the dilapidated wooden house, Luo Tian and Yin Jiuyan were waiting to eat, and these two goods looked like evil wolves.
After a while, several barbarian girls walked in with a few broken bowls, and when they opened it, there were steaming bones, Luo Tian was stunned, and Yin Jiu was also stunned.
It is said that barbarians eat meat for food, but there is not even a layer of meat skin on these bones that look quite thick, Luo Tian picked it up and looked at it for a long time, only to find that there were still some pieces in the cracks of the bones.
"What is this, doesn't it mean that you are full?" Luo Tian shouted dissatisfiedly.
Chai Zhuoma's face was not very good-looking, and his already pale face was extremely gloomy at the moment, and he called the barbarian who was in charge of the village, and after talking for a long time, he seemed to understand some of the inside story, and the gloomy expression on his face turned into anger and helplessness.
"What's wrong?" Yin Jiu asked in a low voice.
"Ten years have passed, and many things have changed, hey......" Chai Zhuoma sighed before he said the reason.
It turned out that after the patriarch was killed ten years ago and Chai Zhuoma was captured, there was a conflict within the tribe, on the one hand, the Zhao family sent troops to suppress it, and the barbarians succumbed to the Zhao family in order to survive and signed some unequal contracts.
The main content of the contract is to offer food to the Zhao family, and the barbarians are good at hunting, so the Zhao family requires the barbarians to sacrifice at least seven or eight out of ten of the prey to the Zhao family in order to survive.
At the same time, the Zhao family supported a brutal new patriarch, this new patriarch is extraordinary, but the personality is tyrannical, and he has already dedicated most of the food to the Zhao family, so that the people of the tribe can reduce food and clothing, but I didn't expect this new patriarch to ask the tribe people to give him the rest of the food for him to eat, drink and have fun, so that the entire tribe has fallen into a state of lack of food and the people are not living.
"Then can't you destroy this guy?" Yin Jiu asked.
"I can't extinguish it, the patriarch of our barbarian clan is selected through a competition, if I am still in the clan, the selected patriarch needs to be approved by me before he can take the throne, but I have been away for ten years, there is no wizard in the clan, and his force is the strongest in the clan today, so no one can defeat him, he has always been the patriarch. ”
Don't look at the civilization of the barbarians is so backward, but there are not many people who should have rules.
"Then you're back now, and you're going to abolish him directly?" Luo Tian said.
"I can remove him, but I must choose a new patriarch to compete with him, and if the new patriarch can't beat him, then my removal is invalid. Chai Zhuoma shook his head.
"Then find one, there are so many people, you can find one to come out and train, and then pass on some spells, isn't it easy to get rid of a patriarch?" Luo Tian shouted.
Chai Zhuoma's face was even more ugly, and after a long sigh, he said, "No one in the entire clan can surpass him, because he is my only disciple. ”
At this moment, Luo Tian and Yin Jiu finally understood.
The only disciple of Chai Zhuoma is called Kelsang, who has been with him since he was a child, because Gelsang has shown a talent for communicating with the gods from a very young age.
In Chai Zhuoma's eyes, Gelsang was a gentle child who could converse intimately with the gods of the earth and even grow a green grass on the ice field.
Chai Zhuoma passed on all her skills to Kelsang, and she was ready to succeed her as the new sorcerer of the tribe when her soul returned to the world one day.
But what she didn't expect was that Gelsang's gentleness was all deceptive, his true nature was brutal and fierce, everything he showed in front of Chai Zhuoma was a disguise, in order to be able to learn Chai Zhuoma's skills, and after Chai Zhuoma was locked up, his true nature was suddenly exposed, and he joined forces with the Zhao family to control the entire tribe, turning this tribe into a tool of the Zhao family and himself.
"This is called raising tigers, I don't think you can help me anything, I still expect you to teach me some skills, I didn't expect you to even be your own apprentice, then when I haven't been here." ”
Luo Tian was a little disappointed, he thought that Chai Zhuoma was a master of the Human Dan Realm, and that would definitely help him, but now it seems that it will take at least a year or two for this old witch's body to recover, and now the strength and cultivation he shows are even inferior to his own, coupled with the intensification of hatred and conflict within the clan, this is also a place of right and wrong, and he doesn't want to get involved.
"Teach you skills......" Chai Zhuoma seemed to be inspired by Luo Tian's words, and suddenly said, "Yes, I can teach you skills, you are the one who is guided by the gods to save me, that is to say, you are the one favored by the gods." ”
The more Luo Tian listened, the more wrong he became, this was the way he wanted to pull him into the barbarians, his father had fought with the barbarians for so many years, but he finally became the patriarch of the barbarians, so he repaid it, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, I don't want to be the patriarch of your barbarians." ”
"You don't need to be the patriarch, you just need to defeat Gelsang, and then become the patriarch temporarily, and then give up the seat of Zizen, and then pretend to lose to the new patriarch I chose, so that you can not only learn the skills, but also get out of the way, and get the friendship brought by me and my clan, isn't it killing three birds with one stone?"
I have to say that what Chai Zhuoma said was very moving, he ran out with Chai Zhuoma in order to learn his skills, he couldn't take such a big risk and return empty-handed, besides, if he can secretly have a good relationship with a barbarian, it is equivalent to leaving a back road for himself, in case the third prince ascends the throne in the future, the family has undergone great changes, and he can take his family to hide in the barbarians.
After thinking about it for a long time, Luo Tian turned back to Chai Zhuoma and said, "Let's say okay first, I will definitely give up my seat, and you can't forcibly keep me, promise?"
Chai Zhuoma nodded.
Luo Tian lit a cigarette, thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll help you once, you tell me first, what kind of cultivation is your apprentice Gelsang, if it's only the sixth or seventh layer of the Qi Refining Realm, I can win against him without you teaching me skills." ”
Chai Zhuoma shook his head with a smile and said, "He is not so weak, ten years ago, his cultivation should be equivalent to the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, and today, ten years later, his cultivation will definitely reach the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Realm." ”
As soon as these words came out, Luo Tian was directly dumbfounded, the person he wanted to challenge was a master of the same level as Yuan Changkong.
