It turns out that the place where they are now located is close to the middle of the New World, but because of some special products such as medicinal herbs and furs here, there are often caravans of Great Qi who come here to buy goods and bring them back to sell.
It is said that it is a caravan, but in fact it is a smuggling team. There are many such smuggling teams, some of which are organized by the natives and some by the Daqi people. Many animal bones, furs, medicinal herbs, minerals, and various gold, jewelry, and other valuables from the New World were smuggled into the colonies by them, and then transported to the Central Plains by sea.
It can be said that it is a long and wide trade route with countless interests flowing.
And the caravan where Old Man Wu was located was one of the smuggling teams at the forefront. They had been to the area in the last few years, and there were five or six villages nearby, and they had traded a few times, usually bringing all kinds of tools, wine, and weapons from the colonies in exchange for medicinal herbs, furs, animals, and so on.
However, when they came again this time, they found that a great change had taken place in the village, that is, the villagers were extremely hostile to them, and even tied them up, imprisoned them, and killed and sacrificed people today.
Li Xunyi walked to the headless corpse of the native man at the beginning, looked at the head of the native who rolled to the ground, still carrying animal bones, and asked, "This is the wizard of this tribe?" ”
"Yes." Old man Wu hurriedly nodded: "This tribe is called the Gesang tribe, and the relationship is a little close to the West Indians, but it is more primitive and wild. The wizard is the biggest man in their clan.
But although they were primitive before, they were not very hostile to us, but this time they didn't know why they wanted to kill us and sacrifice to the gods. ”
Li Xunyi didn't speak, he looked at the beast bones on the other party's head, and felt an indescribable hideousness.
A moment later. Zuo Zhicheng, Qingyueqiu and the other four also came to the village, Shen An'an looked at the corpses all over the ground in surprise, and said with a strange face: "Li Xunyi, I didn't expect you to really kill so many people in one go." ”
"A group of bloodthirsty beasts, kill and kill." A cold light flashed in Li Xunyi's eyes. According to Lao Wu and a few others, he said with a hard mouth: "Here's how it ......"
Then he explained the matter to Zuo Zhicheng and the others, although they were not murderers, they didn't have a few lives in their hands, and they had no objection to what Li Xunyi did.
It's just that Zuo Zhicheng frowned and looked still kneeling on the ground. Two natives, one old and one young, looked terrified, and asked, "Do any of you communicate with them?" We have something to ask. ”
"I ...... I will. Behind Old Man Wu, a tall and thin man stood up, looked at Zuo Zhicheng cautiously, and then lowered his head.
Old man Wu introduced on the side: "A few adults, this is my nephew, he can speak a few words of these people's native language, but these native people are stupid and stupid, and they don't know much, and they may not know what you ask." ”
"It doesn't matter." Zuo Zhicheng's eyes were cold. Looking at the two natives, he said, "Tell the two of them that we have to ask them something, and if they can answer, they will be fine." If you can't answer, you'll die. ”
When the tall and thin man heard this, he chattered and talked to the two natives, and the two natives became excited when they heard this, and kept nodding their heads and bowing down.
Zuo Zhicheng asked, "Ask them, do you know that there is a place called Ghost Cry Valley nearby." Inside is a stone forest, when the wind blows. There will be a ghost screaming. ”
The tall and thin man said a few words, and the young native was confused for a year. The old native's expression changed, and he immediately shook his head.
He, a simple mountain man who lives in the mountains, will not hide the expression on his face at all, how can he hide it from the eyes of a few old rivers and lakes in front of him.
After some torture, the old man could only say what he knew little by little, and every word he said, the tall and thin man translated it.
"He said that there is such a place, but according to ancient legends, there are sealed demons there, and you must not go over."
This is a legend passed down from the Sange tribe. It is said that thousands of years ago, there was a terrible demon on the earth, and the gods sealed him in the earth in order to kill the demon, and then landed countless guards as guards.
"Humble story." Shen An'an on the side analyzed: "The civilization of these natives is too low, compared to them, the Amalikan who can use Taoism belongs to an incredible country, and it is likely that their ancestors saw the process of the Amalikan people building ancient tombs, so there is this kind of legend." ”
Li Xun nodded: "What else did he say?" ”
The place where the gods sealed the demons over there was indeed in a valley, and the valley was originally full of stone pillars and stone mountains, and there would be a terrible roar when the wind blew.
The elders of the tribe said that it was the howling of demons sealed in the valley. The people of the Gesang tribe obeyed the ancient precepts and never dared to step into the Valley of Ghost Crying. But everything changed one night decades ago.
At that time, the old man in front of him was only a six or seven-year-old ghost.
The village ushered in a group of people in strange costumes, black hair and black eyes. These people were powerful and wealthy, and it didn't take long for them to gain the favor of the people in the village. But the Great Wizard found that they seemed to be very interested in Devil's Cry Valley, and often inquired about the situation inside, so he kept persuading them not to go in, and the Great Demon was sealed inside.
Shen Anan smiled: "It seems that I have met my peers, this is stepping on the plate and inquiring about the situation of the cemetery." She looked at Li Xunyi: "Is your information accurate?" Could it be that when we go in, there will only be a bunch of pots and pans left, and nothing can be found? ”
Li Xunyi said: "Listen to him." ”
Although the Grand Wizard persuaded the men not to go near the Valley of Devil Cry, it did happen. It was early in the morning, and there was a sudden earth-shattering noise in the direction of the Ghost Crying Valley, and the great wizard led people to rush to the rooms of the few Great Qi people, and found that they were all gone.
By the time he was furious and led his men and horses to the Valley of Devil's Cry, the entire valley had changed dramatically overnight. All the valleys were filled with countless trees, and so many stones were covered with green, and even the valley of Devil's Cry never heard the sound of the wind blowing and crying again.
The Great Wizard feared that the strangers had recklessly unleashed the demons, so he sent the bravest warriors of the tribe into the Valley of Devil's Cry.
But no matter how many people they sent, no matter who they sent, no one ever came out of the Devil's Cry Valley again, and the secluded jungle was like a green hell, devouring a single life.
Even the Gesang tribe began to die, as if the gods had issued a curse, and many people began to die inexplicably.
At first, the old people of the tribe began to weaken, as if they were dying of old age at the same time.
If it was just a coincidence that it hadn't caught the attention of the Great Wizard, then the young woman who began to die next caused panic among the tribe.
At that time, young women died every day, some of them were attacked by animals and died, some died of disease, some fell off the cliff and died, and this situation became more and more severe with the passage of time, and in the end, some women even choked to death after eating their mouthfuls.
It's as if there's an invisible nightmare taking their lives.
By this time, even the most stupid natives knew that something was wrong.
