Chapter 68: The Pilgrimage to the Blood

It's done, Xiaokang got the dragon's blood and completed the set goal.

It stands to reason that the next step should be to kill this dragon beast for the people, but Wang Qiang changed his mind.

It's been more than a year since I came to this place, and because I couldn't find a way to go back, I gradually began to settle down with what happened. Since it's a matter of going with the flow, why don't you think about living a better life? It's time to find yourself a ride! That's right, this drake is just right.

Wang Qiang came to the dragon beast and said to the dragon beast that was kowtowing, "I'll give you two choices now. ”

Wang Qiang stretched out two fingers, the dragon beast stopped kowtowing, and the two lanterns looked at Wang Qiang with big eyes, their eyelids blinking.

"First, give me a walk, give me a mount."

The dragon beast had a very aggrieved expression on its face, and actually shook its head.

Wang Qiang smiled, this product has a high IQ, and it is not good that he has eaten any holy fruit that has bloomed.

Seeing the dragon beast shaking his head, Brother Qiang said the second with a smile: "Since you don't want to be mine, then you are worthless, I have eaten everything in the north and south, and I haven't eaten dragon meat yet......"

Before Wang Qiang finished speaking, the dragon beast covered his eyes and whined, and the voice begged for mercy.

Dogs say, monsters are afraid of death.

"So you're the first choice?" Wang Qiang asked.

The monster lowered its claws and nodded aggrievedly.

Wang Qiang laughed, swaggered to the dragon beast, and flew up to the dragon beast's head.

"Well, yes, baby dragon, let's go!" Wang Qiang shouted, and the dragon beast fell on the spot.

What baby dragon?

Lao Tzu looks so heroic, can he be a baby? You're going to scare the baby to death if you pick a name like that!

The dragon beast shook its head dissatisfiedly and swaggered forward, startling the warriors of the Kang tribe for a moment.

……

Riding the dragon, Wang Qiang and the clan warriors used the foot power of the dragon beast to quickly march towards Kangcheng.

The team hurried during the day, found a place to camp at night, and when they settled down, Wang Qiang let the dragon beast go out to forage for food on his own.

What does the baby dragon eat, Brother Qiang never worries, for raising mounts, Brother Qiang adopts free-range grazing, there are too many things that can be eaten in the forest, and the baby dragon wants to eat what he wants, but just a little, he has to come back obediently at dawn.

However, this six-legged reptile is not honest, and he planned to slip away at night several times, but he was caught by Brother Qiang the next day without accident. What are you kidding, Brother Qiang can fly! In addition, the dragon beast has a huge physique, and Brother Qiang can catch it at a glance from ten miles and eight miles, and it is useless to run blindly, and it will be beaten properly.

Every time Brother Qiang is caught, he beats the dragon beast violently, and then free-range as usual, the IQ of the dragon beast is not low, and the desire of the feeling is just to vent the violence? After a few unsuccessful escapes, he realized that he would definitely not be able to escape the clutches of this wicked man, so he could only accept his fate, and he was too lazy to toss at night.

Lao Tzu is obviously a dragon, but now he has become a dog, the dragon beast is more and more depressed, and if there is any grievance, he can only vent on other animals, which can make the beasts along the way toss miserably.

Brother Qiang tamed the dragon all the way back, during which he also specially polished two dragon tooth swords, one large and one small, the big one was kept by himself, and the small one was given to Xiaokang as a souvenir. This can make the well-off spirit angry, is there a dragon tooth sword! Since this stubble, Xiaokang has become Brother Qiang's ultimate follower, and he is desperate.

The team hurried for a while, and returned to Cannes in ten days.

The appearance of the dragon beast caused a huge sensation, and Lao Kang almost turned his back in fright.

"Shangxian, this ......" Lao Kang didn't understand what Wang Qiang meant.

Wang Qiang explained to Lao Kang that this guy would be his mount in the future. Unexpectedly, Lao Kang's face was even more ugly than crying, it turned out that the dragon beast had to eat a few pack beasts every day, and the Kang tribe couldn't afford to raise it at all.

Wang Qiang laughed and told Lao Kang that he didn't have to worry about this, this dragon was used to free-range, and he didn't have to think about its food at all.

Immediately, Wang Qiang drove the dragon beast to the north of Kangcheng, which was the territory of the Tu tribe. For a long time, in view of the strength of the Tu tribe, the people of the Kang tribe did not dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step, and Brother Qiang released the dragon in the forest of the Tu tribe, and he was drunk when he thought about it.

Since the dragon beast was entrenched in the north of Kangcheng, the people of the Tu tribe have never gone south to harass the Kang tribe, which shows that a dragon beast has tossed the Tu tribe a lot.

……

Time flies, the tides in the bay come and go, and when the vegetation turns yellow again, the Kang tribe's procession to worship the sacred mountain is ready.

The holy mountain has always been a place that Wang Qiang is very curious about, so this time the Kang people worshipped, and Wang Qiang decided to go together.

Wang Qiang brought the baby back from the forest in the north and followed the pilgrimage procession of the Kang tribe towards the west.

This time to the holy mountain led by Lao Kang himself, the generals in the tribe such as Agudu, Kuimen and others are also recruited, Xiaokang also followed the period, the Kang tribe dispatched soldiers to 10,000 people, and the various pilgrimage items brought are also varied, for this pilgrimage, the Kang tribe can be described as an elite.

Historically, the pilgrimage route was a road full of killing and blood, and according to the rules of the Holy Mountain, all tribes on the way to the Holy Mountain could loot and kill the passing teams! The reason why the Holy Mountain promotes killing is because the Holy Mountain wants every tribe that comes to worship to show enough piety.

Wang Qiang listened to Lao Kang's popularization of knowledge, and thought to himself that this holy mountain is not a fucking thing.

What is piety?

Encouraging burning, killing, and looting is considered piety, and this holy mountain should be regarded as a cult no matter how you look at it.

The last time Lao Kang went on a pilgrimage to the Holy Mountain was thirty years ago, when Lao Kang was in the prime of life and was the most powerful warrior in the tribe.

Thirty years ago, 30,000 warriors were dispatched to the Baikang tribe, and 100,000 captured people walked in the forest for five months. During this period, they experienced the attack of fierce beasts, experienced the conquest between tribes, and experienced the shortage of food, and when they reached the holy mountain, less than half of the 30,000 warriors remained, and there were still 70,000 or 80,000 of the 100,000 people who were offered.

Wang Qiang listened to Lao Kang's broken thoughts, and felt more and more that it was not a taste, the holy mountain called on all the tribes to come to worship, and encouraged all the tribes to vendetta against each other, looking like he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, what the hell is this? The more Brother Qiang listened, the more unhappy he became, and he gradually became disgusted with the holy mountain in his heart.

When asked about the source of the holy mountain, Lao Kang couldn't say why, but when Lao Kang was a child, he listened to the people of his grandfather's generation nagging about the holy mountain, and the holy mountain must have existed for a long time.

As for what the Holy Mountain wants so many students to do, Lao Kang also doesn't know.

The more Wang Qiang pondered it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and the holy mountain seemed to be full of strange energy.

Because the team was not prepared this time, the lineup was a little thin, but because Wang Qiang sat down in the dragon beast formation, he frightened back many fierce animals in the forest, thereby reducing the casualties of his tribal warriors, which was unexpected.

With the dragon beast to open the way, Lao Kang modified the route of the team, and the places that needed to be avoided because of the presence of fierce beasts now no longer need to be feared, after all, the dragon beast is the most powerful creature in this forest, located at the top of the food chain, the Kang tribe relies on the dragon's breath, and there is no need to avoid the beast at all. In this way, the distance traveled is greatly shortened.

Every evening, the Kham tribe would set up camp in the forest, and the tribal warriors would work together to cut down the surrounding trees, level out the resting places, and then set traps and sentinels around them. Then the soldiers quickly lived and cooked, and the small teams that hunted near the left during the day also followed the guidance of the cooking smoke and returned to the team.

Every now and then, Wang Qiang will release the dragon beast and let it hunt on its own, the dragon beast has already learned to be obedient, no matter how wild it is outside, it will obediently run back every morning.

Heading west, the team soon reached a river.

The river here is in a peculiar direction, it actually flows from south to north, which is completely beyond common sense, Wang Qiang pondered for a while, and it is estimated that this place is affected by the topography more severely.

As the team crossed the river, an accident happened.

Wang Qiang found that the water in the river was actually bright red, and a smell of blood emanated. The river is more than ten meters wide, and how many people have to die to dye the river red!

"There's a situation here." Wang Qiang said to Lao Kang.

Lao Kang understood and arranged for the scouts of the tribe to search upstream along the river.

After a while, the scout replied, it turned out that in the forest upstream of the river, countless tribal soldiers were fighting and killing! According to the scouts, the severed corpses littered the ground, and blood infected the entire estuary.

"What's going on?" Wang Qiang asked.

Lao Kang replied, "Maybe two pilgrimage tribes fought in the forest?" This kind of thing happens all the time. ”

Wang Qiang nodded, thinking that this was the case.

The brigade of the Kang tribe replenished their water and prepared to embark on the journey again, but by this time, a large group of strange indigenous warriors had quietly gathered around.

"Oops, Shangxian, we're being targeted!" Lao Kang let out an exclamation.

Wang Qiang looked lightly at the enemies around him, those guys' weapons and equipment were not necessarily stronger than the Kang tribe, I really don't know what kind of belief made them dare to challenge the Kang tribe.

"Lao Kang, let people negotiate with them, if they can, they won't fight." Wang Qiang said.

However, before the Kang warriors who had gone up to negotiate were killed by the rival tribes.

This move was tantamount to a declaration of war, and the tribal warriors of the Kang tribe rushed up with their knives without saying a word, and a scuffle broke out!

The warriors on both sides did not wear any protective gear, and the stone knives and stone axes made of obsidian in their hands were much tougher than their bodies...... The cruelty on the battlefield is much more shocking than the era of hot weapons.

Wang Qiang was helpless, these natives all raised knives and slashed without saying a word, which was really more reckless than a pitbull, and they couldn't pull it.

No, there were a few warriors from rival tribes who rushed towards him!

Wang Qiang touched his head, isn't this girl here looking for death?

Before Wang Qiang could react, the dragon beast behind him let out a loud roar, and a fiery green flame erupted, and the two natives in the distance instantly turned to ashes.

The roar of the dragon beast is terrifying!

At first, the dragon beast just crawled on the ground to drink water and rest, and did not show the temperament of a fierce beast, plus it was thrown full of luggage by Brother Qiang, it looked like an ordinary giant herbivorous beast, but it didn't cause the natives to care, but at this moment, the dragon beast went crazy!

The dragon beast has an IQ of 150, naturally it is seen that the enemy's target is his boss Wang Qiang, the smart baby dragon immediately realized that this is an opportunity to be courteous, maybe he can improve his situation, after a dragon breath, the baby dragon let out a cheerful cry, it seems that he wants to ask for credit.

Wang Qiang laughed, this stupid dragon is a good learner.

As everyone knows, the joyful invitation of the baby dragon is tantamount to the bell of the lost soul in the ears of the indigenous warriors.

How could the jungle tribes not tell that it was the roar of a large beast, it was a terrifying sound!

Sure enough, the rival tribes in the middle of the battle all stopped, their eyes searched the four fields in fear, and in the eyes of the warriors of these tribes, the fierce beast was much more of a threat than its kind.

While the enemies were panicking, the warriors of the Kang tribe erupted in cheers, and the roar of the dragon beast just now was tantamount to the greatest motivation to boost morale.

The battle took a turn, the balance of victory was tilted in favor of the Kang tribe, and it wasn't long before the attacking enemy was routed!

Great victory!

In a bloody victory, the Kang warriors chased for thirty miles, completely killed the target, and then returned to the river with a load of booty.

Camping in the river, the soldiers drank heartily, shared the plundered spoils, and preached the violence of battle, but rarely remembered their dead comrades.

After the night, the pilgrimage procession continued.

Such a battle, such a killing, such a bloody path, Wang Qiang walked and watched, and gradually became numb.

For the battle, Wang Qiang has long been numb, but he still can't figure it out, these people seem to be really fighting for the sake of fighting, killing for the sake of killing, and they are really responding to the piety called by the holy mountain.

For faith, Wang Qiang has little research, but looking at the faith shown by these ignorant natives, Wang Qiang can only shake his head regretfully, sometimes, people with faith, believe in the wrong thing, it is really terrible, really sad.

Fighting all the way, the casualties of the Kang tribe became more and more serious, and in the end, Wang Qiang could no longer stand idly by, so he had to send out dragon beasts to repel the enemy, so as to reduce casualties.

Finally, after a difficult trek and at the cost of the lives of more than two thousand tribal warriors, the pilgrimage finally reached the Holy Mountain.

……

The Holy Mountain, as the name suggests, is a sacred mountain where the Holy Reside, and ordinary people are not allowed to set foot in its realm.

Wang Qiang looked from afar and found that the holy mountain in the distance was actually floating in the clouds!

That's right, a huge mountain floating there!

The size of the giant mountain is tens of kilometers in circumference, but such a huge mountain is floating in the air without any foundation, it is simply sensational, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Wang Qiang wouldn't have believed it.

It's not like Wang Qiang hasn't seen anything that can float, such as an alien saucer-shaped spaceship, so after observing the holy mountain for a while, Brother Qiang decisively judged that this mountain is clearly a giant object floating against gravity!

Wang Qiang's heart turned over the river, the technological level of this thing is beyond the reach of even humans, why is there such a super technological thing here?

I must investigate it well, Wang Qiang made up his mind.

……

The Kang tribe was not the first tribe to reach the Holy Mountain, and before the Kang, there were dozens of tribes large and small.

When they came to the foot of the Holy Mountain, the battle was expressly forbidden, and once anyone used force, they would be punished by the Holy Mountain's severest sanctions, of course, this article was not aimed at the Holy Mountain's sages.

The people of the various tribes who came to the Holy Mountain chose to be stationed and stationed in a clear way.

When the Kang tribe arrived at the foot of the mountain, a sensation came!

"Drake!"

"Look, it's really a dragon beast!"

"Oh my God, they conquered the drake."

"Incredible......

There was a lot of talk, surprise and fear.

When the Kang tribe chose a place to set up camp, the people of the surrounding neighboring tribes spontaneously chose to stay away.

"Shang Xian, your dragon beast is too powerful, and it has frightened the other tribes." Lao Kang whispered.

Wang Qiang nodded and said, "It's also good to make them scared a little, you can have a lot less fighting, killing and killing." ”

After Lao Kang got Wang Qiang's advice, he no longer cared about the eyes of others and began to organize people to camp.

Sometimes, however, trouble comes from asking for itself.

Two people swayed in the sky, Wang Qiang squinted at the figure flying in the air, and suddenly became interested.

Yo, there are people who can fly!

Wang Qiang paid attention to the flying man in the sky, and found that the person who came was flying slowly, and he shook and swayed, as if he was about to fall down if he didn't do well, Brother Qiang looked anxious for the two of them.

Fortunately, the two of them flew to the vicinity of the Kang tribe without danger and slowly landed.

The person who came was wearing a gray robe, which looked a bit like a spacesuit, Wang Qiang judged.

I saw that after the two of them landed, they slowly walked towards the Kang tribe.

"Call your chieftain out!" One of them spoke aloud.

Lao Kang was already standing outside the tent and said respectfully to the two: "The two sages are the chiefs of the Kang clan below. ”

The two of them were condescending, looked at the rickety Lao Kang, and said arrogantly: "The dragon beast belongs to your tribe, right?" I tell you that there is a lack of a mountain protection beast on the holy mountain, and now your tribe is being recruited. ”

Lao Kang listened to the words of the Sage, and did not react to the meaning of the conscription for a long time, probably the vocabulary used by the Sage was too complicated, Lao Kang opened his mouth and asked, "What do you mean, Sage?" ”

The Sage raised his voice and said, "You can't understand such simple words, what an uncivilized fellow!" Listen to me, we have a crush on this dragon beast, and we will give it to us now. ”

"This ......" Lao Kang was embarrassed.

Another sage spoke, "Now is the time to show the piety of your tribe, if you sacrifice dragon beasts, we will speak for you in front of the mountain lord!" ”

Wang Qiang looked at the two sages who came down from the holy mountain from the side, judging from their appearance, there is not much difference between the sages and the characters of the indigenous tribes, and there is also a fluffy tail on the buttocks, but the facial features are more upright and the height is more upright.

Just as the sage and Lao Kang were talking, Wang Qiang looked around the sage twice, and finally out of curiosity, Wang Qiang stretched out his hand and pulled the clothes of a sage, wanting to feel what kind of material the sage's robe was.
