Chapter 475: The Frosty Tribe
The architectural layout inside the Fire Spirit Pagoda is basically similar to that of the Earth Spirit Tower. Similarly, on the upper level, a platform has been destroyed, and the fire spirit stones in it have been taken.
Ding Qin deliberately investigated some details in it, hoping to find some clues. But, as he expected, he didn't find anything of value until the end.
Coming out of the tower, Ding Qin looked at the direction, "Let's not leave first." And they set up camp in this place. ”
Song Ren was puzzled, "Don't go?" It stands to reason that when the Fire Spirit Pagoda appears, the Cold Tribes should be nearby, why should we stop? Send out a few more ways to search in different directions, and you should be able to find something. ”
"What if, they did it?" Ding Qin said, "Once our people are scattered, I'm afraid it will be more dangerous." Instead of taking the initiative, invite them to come themselves. ”
"Invite them? how to invite?" Song Ren was puzzled.
Ding Qin said, "Set up camp here, and then light a bonfire, the bigger the better." If the Tsuki tribe is nearby, be sure to keep an eye out for the situation here. How could they not come at night when there was a fire in the wilderness?"
Although Song Renqing did not object, "But what if they really don't come?"
Ding Qin said, "That means that they may not be nearby, or there is no one anymore." We'll make plans then. ”
According to Ding Qin's arrangement, after the camp was built, they found a large number of branches and trunks from the side and erected four shelves around the fire camp tower. As soon as it was dark, everyone lit four fires together, and the flames flew straight up more than ten meters high.
In the vicinity of the Fire Spirit Tower, the temperature was originally high, but now it is roasted by the fire, which makes people feel a sense of heat. In their tent, they only wore a single coat, but they were already sweating.
Ding Qin did not stay in the tent. He found a large tree and kept a close eye on what was happening around him from the vantage point that made it most convenient to see the entire camp and its surroundings.
Unlike the ice fields outside, the warm environment here allows many creatures to choose to thrive here. Therefore, there was a lot of movement at night, which also attracted Ding Qin's attention several times.
However, in the middle of the night, it was indeed here.
Two black shadows, in the jungle on one side, slowly touched the camp. It's just that when they were still nearly a mile or so away from the camp, they had been locked by Ding Qin.
It's two people. Their cultivation should not be high, otherwise they would not have been discovered by Ding Qin so easily.
When they were about to leave the woods, Ding Qin had already left his place. He quietly followed the two men, and neither of them even noticed.
The two of them found a shadow forty or fifty meters away from the camp, took a closer look at the camp, and then gestured to each other and prepared to leave.
However, when they turned around, they found that Ding Qin no longer knew when he was in their way.
"Brother, since you are here, you will be above board, sneaking in, and leaving silently, but it is not a gentleman's doing. Ding Qin faced the firelight, so he could make the two people see clearly.
The two men apparently hadn't expected anyone to notice them, and one of them was trembling with fear. Soon, another man said, "Who are you, what are you doing here?"
Ding Qin got straight to the point, "We are here to find the cold tribe." It would be great if the two of them happened to be from the Tsuki tribe. ”
When it comes to the cold tribe, the two obviously show a kind of caution. The older one said, "What are you looking for them for?"
Ding Qin said, "It's nothing, I just want to be sure of one thing." ”
"Are you sure what?" the two men took a step from the middle to the periphery, apparently intending to flee from either side.
It's just that this intention of theirs was quickly dismantled. Song Renqing and the others heard that there was movement outside, and they had already come out of the tent and completely blocked the retreat of the two people.
Judging from the tone of their questioning, Ding Qin had basically determined that they were the ones he was looking for. Therefore, he smiled slightly, "Two, if there is nothing inconvenient, you can come to our account to discuss in detail." ”
In front of Ding Qin and them, the two of them seemed to know that there was no room for escape, and at this time they simply gave up their plans to leave, "Okay." Then go in and say. However, if you want to get some tribal secret from us, then you should die before it is too late. ”
Ding Qin was silent for the time being. After entering his own camp, he asked Song Renqing and Cheng Ying to stay behind, and ordered to be on guard outside the camp. After that, he first introduced himself, "In Xia Dingqin, I have just been to the Ore Vein, the Forest Guardian Tribe, and met the Construction Tribe, and also landed on the island in the middle of the lake. This time, I mainly want to see how the situation of the Yuhan tribe is, which is also the meaning of the patriarchs of the other three tribes. ”
The slightly older man's expression was complicated, "So, you know the identity of our Frosty Tribe. ”
Ding Qin nodded, "I know a little bit about it." What I also want to tell you is that the barrier of the island in the middle of the lake has been cracked. The spirit stone under the stage of the deceased was also stolen. ”
The man smiled bitterly, "For more than ten years, I knew that there would definitely be this day." Sure enough, sure enough. When that person came, I understood that no matter how hard our five tribes tried, they would not be able to escape, and the island in the middle of the lake would not be able to be protected. ”
Ding Qin already understood in his heart. "It seems that you were the first tribe to be harmed. I wonder how the tribesmen are now?"
"The Warm Tribe, it's gone. The old man said, "It's completely gone." ”
Ding Qin's heart sank. Could it be that there is no one left, or only two people left?
He thought about it for a moment and brought the question up anyway. "What do you mean by senior, only the two of you are left?"
The old man shook his head, "No, there are more than 100 people including us." ”
"How do you say it's gone?"
The old man smiled bitterly, "You have probably heard that the people of our cold tribe are not afraid of the cold, and in the ice and snow, you can also be bare-chested." Actually, it's true. And one of the reasons why we can do this is because the Fire Spirit Tower is underground, and the energy it emits is absorbed by us, helping us to keep the cold out of the body. ”
"Later, the man appeared. Not only did he cause harm to our tribe, but he also raised the Fire Spirit Tower. As a result, the heat of the Fire Spirit Pagoda was released, but it could no longer be absorbed by our tribe's exercises. Now, the people of the cold tribe are all afraid of the cold to death. You say, is this still a cold tribe?"
At the end of his speech, he became excited, and his hands trembled slightly.
This mood is understandable to Ding Qin. Therefore, after giving him a period of time to calm down, Ding Qin said, "Anyway, it's good that people can survive." ”
"But after all, we are a tribe of the cold! From childhood to adulthood, we are proud of our ability to protect against the cold. As a result, now, since the Fire Spirit Tower was raised, the environment has also changed, and it has become so warm. Where is this environment at the northern pole? Such a large area, there is not even ice!"
"For the sake of our tribe's reputation, we even tried to move out of this warm zone. But I didn't expect that without the energy bonus of the Fire Spirit Tower, our clan would be the most irresistible to the cold! Once we walked into the ice-covered area, all kinds of diseases would come one after another. At that time, we tried to stay in the ice and snow area for half a month, and as a result, more than ten people died!"
He let out a long sigh, "There's no way, we're back again." And it seems that all people, for generations, can only live in this northern pole region, which is free of ice and snow. Due to the change in the environment, all the animals and plants have changed, including the 10,000-year-old snow beast, which also left here, and we don't know exactly where they went. The survival skills that we have inherited from generation to generation are basically inapplicable. That's where we are. We are adapting to a new environment with a new identity. And this is a betrayal of our ancestors. ”
Ding Qin was slightly startled, "The 10,000-year-old snow beast originally lived near the northern pole?"
The old man nodded, "That's right. Although they have a large area of activity, the most fixed area is the northern pole. But all reproduction, or eventual death, will return to the northern pole. And, here, they live in peace with us, non-aggression against each other. ”
"It turns out that the 10,000-year-old snow beast left because of the rise of the Fire Spirit Tower. Ding Qin's question about why the 10,000-year-old snow beast appeared near Siguo City was finally solved. "I didn't expect them to come so far. ”
The old man was a little surprised, "You mean, you've met a 10,000-year-old snow beast?"
Ding Qin nodded, "That's right, I saw them." It's thousands of miles away. ”
"Look, they're all gone, we stay here, but we can't go out, what kind of cold tribe is called, it's a big joke!" he sighed a few more times, "Then again, you're here just to see how we're doing?"
Ding Qin said, "Actually, I also want to find some clues." I came to Skyrim State mainly to find the Dead Stone and restore my memory. As a result, I learned here that first, the Coming and Going Life Platform is not something that can restore memory, and second, the five ancient tribes here have all been murdered. Originally, the follow-up has nothing to do with me, but it is a matter of life in the world, and I really can't stand idly by. ”
When the old man heard Ding Qin say that he wanted to recover his memory, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes. "What did you just say? Are you trying to recover your memory?"
Ding Qin smiled bitterly, "That's right. This is the most fundamental goal that I have been running around for a long time. Without recovering my memory, I don't know where I've come from, where I'm going, or where my relatives, friends, and all of them are. ”
"We can't do anything else, but recover your memory, maybe we can help you. The old man looked at Ding Qin, his eyes full of sincerity.
"Can you help me?" Ding Qin's heart was full of surprise, and then a wave of joy swelled up.
