Chapter 144: Clues
After receiving the signal given to him by the totem, Tang Xiaojun finally understood what the little grizzly bear conveyed to him, which was actually a contract. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Once Tang Xiaojun nodded in agreement, then he and the grizzly bear became a kind of more closely connected partner, and it seemed to be for life.
But the strange thing is that Tang Xiaojun can't fully understand the content of the contract, and can only vaguely sense, which makes him a little hesitant, in case of an unexpected situation, it will be troublesome.
"Old shaman, do you know what this contract is all about? I don't fully understand what it's about. ā
Tang Xiaojun thought about it for a while, but still couldn't make a decision, so he opened his mouth to ask the shaman for advice.
To his surprise, the old shaman shook his head and explained, "I don't know, and I can't know, that as far as I know, every contract is different. ā
"So what should I do, I can't agree without knowing the contents, right?" Tang Xiaojun said helplessly.
"Hehe, child, if you want, come to my tent and talk to me."
"Uh, okay."
It just so happened that Tang Xiaojun also had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, so he agreed.
The old shaman's tent was nothing special, and like ordinary people, Tang Xiaojun was not restrained, and found a place to sit down on his own.
When the old shaman also sat down, Tang Xiaojun couldn't wait to ask him: "Old shaman, tell me, do I want to sign this contract, I'm afraid that it may disappear later." ā
"Hahaha," the old shaman laughed, and after a long pause, he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it won't be delayed." ā
"Really? That's good, huh. ā
The old shaman calmed down, looked at Tang Xiaojun carefully, nodded and said, "Let me tell you first, in fact, this contract may not be as useful as you imagined." ā
"Huh?" Tang Xiaojun asked in surprise, I heard what those people said just now, it seems that this contract is very powerful.
"If you want to get this contract, you only need to meet two conditions. One is that both humans and animals are recognized by the totem, and in addition, this animal is willing to be a companion to humans. ā
"It's as simple as that? Then there should be a lot of people in your tribe who have signed contracts with wolves, right? Tang Xiaojun asked suspiciously.
"Not much, I should say very little."
"Why?"
"Because, this condition sounds simple, but in reality it is very few, and the key problem lies in the spirituality of the animal."
"Animal spirituality?"
"Yes, the end times have changed human beings, and they have changed many animals, causing them to mutate, but most of these animals are just physical mutations, and their brains, or rather, their spirits have not evolved."
"To put it simply, these animals aren't smart enough."
"I see, that is, my little grizzly bear, its brain has evolved and become smarter?" Tang Xiaojun asked.
"Of course, or do you think ordinary animals can express their consciousness? Most animals live on their own instincts. ā
"Hey, no, didn't you just say that you don't know the contents of the contract?" Tang Xiaojun suddenly remembered this, but he obviously felt that this shaman seemed to know everything, so he immediately asked.
"Hehe, that's right, I only know the general content of this contract, but what it is, no one knows, perhaps, only the little grizzly bear, it knows itself."
"However, you don't have to be careful, I told you so much before, just to explain to you that this contract is actually not that important, and it is not too binding."
"Alright then, then I'll agree."
Tang Xiaojun was actually a little impatient for a long time, and he also believed that the old shaman would not lie to him, since this was the case, what did he hesitate about, he closed his eyes directly, and agreed to the contract.
At that moment, Tang Xiaojun could clearly feel that the little grizzly bear in his arms was very happy, but other than that, there was no special feeling, and he was immediately relieved.
"By the way, old shaman, I would like to ask, where did that skull, that totem, come from? I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious, and if it's inconvenient to say, forget it. ā
Tang Xiaojun was also very curious about the power of the totem, but he didn't want to cause any misunderstanding.
"Hehe, there's nothing inconvenient, actually, even I'm very curious, what is this skull?"
"What? Don't you even know what it is? Tang Xiaojun was very surprised, but he didn't expect that even his shaman himself didn't know.
"What's so strange about that. Before the end times, this skull was just used as a work of art, and who knew that after the end of the world it would have such a change. ā
"Again, the last days have changed so many things."
Tang Xiaojun remembered the matter of Black Iron City, that kind of strange weapon was also a very magical thing, and until now, he couldn't figure out how it was made.
And now, in the Wolf-Headed Tribe, obviously, there is one more thing he can't figure out.
"Old shaman, I want to ask, apart from your wolf head tribe, there is no human gathering place nearby?" This is the question that Tang Xiaojun has always wanted to ask, no one paid attention to him before, and now he finally found someone to ask.
"Hehe, as far as I know, there are no other tribes nearby."
Hearing this, Tang Xiaojun was a little disappointed, he already had the intention of going, and he didn't want to stay in this kind of small tribe all the time.
"However, we've had other survivors here."
Unexpectedly, there was a turning point, since there were other survivors coming, it was likely that there would be a gathering place, Tang Xiaojun immediately asked, "Where did those people go?" ā
"Dead."
"Dead?" Tang Xiaojun was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Then did they say where they came from?" ā
The old shaman shook his head and said, "Actually, there are not just one group of survivors who have come to our side, but several groups. ā
Tang Xiaojun immediately came to his senses and listened carefully.
"The first few groups of survivors came a long time ago, and at that time, our wolf head tribe had just been established and took them in."
"However, they are not good people."
"Not a good guy? What does it mean? Tang Xiaojun asked.
"Hehe, among them, some of them have become murderous demons, oh yes, one of them will eat people, and we will destroy them in the end."
"Oh, they must have mutated."
Tang Xiaojun is no stranger to this kind of mutant who has lost his humanity, and he has encountered it before, among them, the most impressive is the man-eating monster Qian Mingwei.
"Yes, that's why our wolf-headed tribe doesn't welcome outsiders."
Tang Xiaojun nodded, expressed understanding, and then asked, "Then what about later, has anyone come over recently." ā
"Yes, about a month ago, a group of people came from the desert to the west." The old shaman seemed to be reminiscing, and waited for a moment before adding, "However, by the time our tribesmen found them, they were all dead. ā
"They're coming from the west? How did he die? Tang Xiaojun asked one after another.
"That's right, they came from the west, and as for the cause of their death, it was probably poisoning. Another point, which may explain something, is that their outfits are very uniform. "The old shaman has a very important message.
"Really?"
Tang Xiaojun was very pleasantly surprised, since they were all dressed similarly, it was likely that they came out of a gathering place.
