Chapter 217: Treasure Hunt
The sun slowly rises from the horizon, rendering the earth a fiery red, the morning weather is exceptionally cool, it is the most comfortable time of the day, and after a while, when the sun rises at all, the temperature will rise rapidly;
Zheng Yuanqing came out of the shack and stretched his waist greatly, the scenery of the desert, especially in the morning, was quite gorgeous, and people couldn't help but want to stretch their own sentiments;
Zheng Yuanqing turned his head to look at the listless little black man sitting on the ground, and couldn't help but smile dumbly, this little guy must have tried to escape at night, and the one sleeping in the car was Li Lali, who was as sensitive as a beast;
Of course, his little action is to hide Li Lali's pity, and Li Lali is so difficult that she can sleep on the big couch, and if she is disturbed by his crackling, her mood will definitely not be much better, since she is in a bad mood, it is inevitable to be taught a lesson by him;
They had breakfast in a hurry, and then escorted the little black man to find his tribe, even if there were some difficulties in communication, but the little black man roughly guessed what he meant from Zheng Yuanqing's gestures; The resistance was fruitless, and he couldn't escape, so he had to take Zheng Yuanqing's entire team into the mountain with a dissatisfied and helpless face;
The mountains of the desert are bare and woody, full of rocks, with only a few drought-tolerant desert bushes; Zheng Yuanqing's whole team went around the mountains, and at first Qin Yan seemed to be excited, but after circling for an hour, she became like a defeated rooster and was depressed;
Zheng Yuanqing looked at the satellite tracking system in his palm and felt that after five laps around a mountain peak, he finally determined that he had been tricked by the little black man; He smiled and walked over to the black man. Immediately after stepping on one of his hands. In his screams of fear, he pulled out a dagger and cut off one of the little fingers on his hand;
The black man was desperately trapped in the beast fight, but helplessly, Li Lali's big foot stepped on his back, no matter how he trapped the beast fight, his body was not moving; Zheng Yuanqing sneered and stood up, gesturing to tell him that if he couldn't find their tribe again, then he would die of excessive bleeding;
The intense pain combined with the shadow of loss of life finally made the little black man honest. He kept his head silent, covered his severed fingers, and led Zheng Yuanqing's entire team onto a small road; This time, the situation is much smoother, and there are many traces of paths on the ground, which are hard paths stepped on by human activities that have belonged for thousands of years, indicating that there are often people walking around this place;
Sure enough, after crossing a small hill, a small village came out of front of them, the village was not very large, at a cursory glance there were more than 19 households, and the shacks were all made of stones. It was then sealed with earth, and the roof was paved with branches and thatch;
The place is desert. If you want to find thatch, you need to go to the wasteland more than 19 kilometers away to cut it, and it takes them five or five days to come and go.
Zheng Yuanqing sneered after seeing it, and walked into the village with the little black man, and the people belonging to the village looked at Zheng Yuanqing's entire team, of course, who was not good, and walked out of the broken house one by one, and most of the men were painted with white lime one by one, covering their original appearance; They wore skirts made of feathers, hats made of feathers, diamond-shaped defensive shields made of rattan in one hand, spears in the other, and surrounded Zheng Yuanqing and others while shouting in a language they did not understand;
Zheng Yuanqing looked at them around them with spears pointing at them, and sneered disdainfully, even if Li Lali is a little stupid as a biochemical intelligence programmer beast, but stupidity has the advantage of being stupid, he doesn't care about anything with Zheng Yuanqing's side, and only pays attention to Zheng Yuanqing's movements;
As soon as he saw Zheng Yuanqing bloom with that sneer of disdain, his eyes immediately turned cold, and then he took a step forward, and at this moment, his claws sharper than a dagger popped out of his fingertips, and then swept in the air, and three scratches flew towards them visibly;
But the sound of a "snort" swept over them, as if it were cutting flesh, and then there was a heart-rending scream among them; The natives who surrounded Zheng Yuanqing's entire team, and the seven people who were standing closest to Zheng Yuanqing were caught by him, and their bodies were immediately cut into five pieces and scattered on the ground, with broken bones, blood, and broken internal organs, sprinkled all over the ground, splashing the surrounding people;
All the people who belonged to them were scared stupid, they surrounded Zheng Yuanqing and these people, neither did they advance or retreat, and they wanted to collapse because of the feeling of fear;
Those natives were frightened and didn't know what to do, and Zheng Yuanqing was also distressed that there was a way to communicate with them, and he couldn't get what he wanted.
But when they heard that voice, they all retreated to both sides, and the frightened expression on their faces disappeared in an instant, and some only had respect and worship, of course, the position of the person who came in this tribe was not low; Zheng Yuanqing narrowed his eyes slightly, but saw an old man who was bent over and a little rickety, slowly walking in with the support of two young women;
The old man was very old, the wrinkles on his face could be said to be wrinkled, and his walking steps were a little trembling, he was wearing clothes made of bright feathers on a wooden cane, and his weak but shining eyes glanced at the broken corpse on the ground, so he walked slowly and straight to Zheng Yuanqing;
In a primitive tribe like this, the leader of the tribe is generally the strongest warrior in the tribe, and it is impossible for an old man of this age to take the lead; But looking at the respect of the other natives for him, of course, his position in the tribe is not low, since he is not the leader, he should be a spiritual leader like a wizard;
He stood firmly in front of Zheng Yuanqing, with a hint of fear, the people in this tribe were already short. In addition, he seems to be even shorter when he is old and slumped; He tried to make himself stand straighter. Even if the voice of speech is not high. But it was sonorous and powerful, and he asked Zheng Yuanqing in fluent English: "You, a foreigner, why did you come to our tribe and kill my child?" I am the sorcerer of our tribe, Cheru; ”
Zheng Yuanqing pointed to the natives around him who were still pointing at him with his spear, chuckled and said in English, "Hello, respected wizard." I am the king from the Far East, Zheng Yuanqing; Your children have offended me, and my guards have only taught them a small lesson, and if they continue to offend me, I don't mind giving them a little more lesson that they will never forget; ”
When the old wizard heard Zheng Yuanqing's words, his face changed slightly, he really didn't expect Zheng Yuanqing to be so arrogant when he killed someone;
It's a pity that Zheng Yuanqing said that he was a king, and from this point of view, the old wizard still believed it, the compelling momentum on his body, and the unruly attitude of not putting anything in his eyes. And then there's the terrifying power of the guards around him, and most of these things prove that his identity is extraordinary;
He must have been a king. Not only is his power not small, but the small force has the strength of a little wood, and the resources to cultivate such a strong warrior, and his power may even be greater than that of the United Kingdom, where he went to study when he was young;
Each and every one of them was so strong, except for the gypsy woman, and even the terrifying power of that delicate oriental beauty was enough to destroy their entire tribe by one person; Especially in the body of Zheng Yuanqing, a king from the East, the old wizard always felt that there was a very faint power hidden in his body, which was not felt by ordinary people, but it made the old wizard feel the fear of appearing for a long time;
When the old wizard thought of this, he didn't do much to eat, and turned back to the natives who didn't know what to say, but saw that most of the natives had put away their weapons and retreated in good order, and went back to their own places; Even if 7 of them died, most of the natives were not satisfied with the old wizard's order, which shows the position of this old wizard in their hearts;
After seeing that most of the natives had left, the old wizard turned his head to look at Zheng Yuanqing, forced out a smile and said, "Everyone go to my broken house and sit down, since you have come to our tribe, it is our tribe's guest; ”
Before he could say anything, he took Zheng Yuanqing's entire team to the largest dilapidated house in the center of the tribe, saying that it was big compared to the surrounding shacks, and it was only 19 square meters inside; It's a pity that the door of this broken house is high enough, so as to avoid the embarrassment that Shan Yue and Li Lali can't come in, not only is it so empty inside, but there is something to furnish with a little wood, and these two giants can also find a place to sit;
After all the people who belonged to him sat down, the old wizard smiled at Zheng Yuanqing and said, "Great King Zheng Yuanqing, don't you know what happened when you came to our tribe?" This place is so remote, it should not be a place where a king like you would set foot; ”
When Zheng Yuanqing heard this, he smiled slightly, took out the steel plate and said to the old wizard: "We came to this place according to this prompt above, looking for something that our ancestors lost; ”
The old wizard's face changed slightly when he looked at the steel plate, but after a short time, he was quietly and carefully covered up, but it was a pity that most of his subtle expressions were all in the eyes of Zheng Yuanqing, who was looking at him carefully;
The old wizard chuckled and said, "I have lived in this place for more than 90 years, and I am the longest-lived person in our tribe, and for more than 90 years, I have never heard of any treasures in our place; It's a pity that the great King Zheng Yuanqing, if you need any help from our tribe, please tell me, and I will do my best to help you; You see, the people of our tribe have lived in this neighborhood for so long, and there must be a place that can help you; ”
When Zheng Yuanqing heard this, he bowed his head slightly with satisfaction, and then, his eyes were attracted by the various totems decorated in the broken house, and then asked the old wizard about the origin of the totems;
These totems are actually the beliefs of this tribe, as the representative of the people to whom the faith belongs, the old wizard Cheru showed unprecedented kindness, and began to introduce Zheng Yuanqing and these people endlessly, and the legends handed down from ancient times popped out of his mouth one after another. It was as if he had personally passed by;
This one chatted. Before I knew it, I arrived at noon. saw 11 young girls in the village holding dry food in front of Zheng Yuanqing and these people; The lunch was not very rich, and of course, looking at the poverty of the village and the expressions of the little girls who were secretly swallowing their saliva, it should be a rare delicacy for them;
The plate was a small basket made of rattan, with some barbecued meat and some wild fruits, and a few pieces of cake made of starch; Indeed, in the barren desert region, these things are already rare delicacies;
The old wizard kindly entertained: "Comrades, guests from afar. If you are accustomed to eating fine wine and abundant grain and dry food, please taste the food of our tribe's characteristics, which is very simple, and I hope you will not dislike it; ”
Even if there is not much roasted meat in the small basket, the roasted oil is shiny, the wild fruits are bright and attractive, and the cake is a dry food that can easily fill the stomach, and most of these things make people appetite to watch;
Now when they wanted to have fun and food, Li Lali sniffed hard, and then at this moment. He opened his mouth and said, "Master, this dry grain is poisonous. The roasted meat was sprinkled with numbing, and the fruit was highly poisonous; Before he could say anything, he picked up the most colorful and attractive red wild fruit inside and handed it to Zheng Yuanqing;
Zheng Yuanqing took the wild fruit in Li Lali's hand, looked at it carefully, and said with a chuckle: "Grand Wizard Cheru is so generous, if I don't give you a little gift in return, it will be really rude, go, kill half of the people to whom their tribe belongs; ”
The old wizard's face changed slightly, and it was clear that the anger in his heart had reached the extreme, but after a short time, he forcibly suppressed the anger, and then said in a very panicked voice: "I'm sorry, great Zheng Yuanqing monarch, please believe me, this must be those children who misunderstood my meaning, we can harm you a little wood, please believe me; ”
Hearing the old wizard's words, Zheng Yuanqing raised his hand softly to stop Li Lali, who was about to go out to kill, and chuckled: "Okay, the game is over here, I don't have time to talk to you too much; Say, where is the location shown on the map, don't say you don't know, you speak English fluently, you must have seen the world outside;
But then again, you've been through the prosperity outside, not to mention how well the tribe has developed, but at least you won't live in this place where birds don't, right? You don't live in this place, it's because you can't go as a guardian, right?
I'm not patient, I'm going to kill one person every minute, and if you see that your tribe is about 700 people, you've got 11 hours to think about it, but I don't think you're going to think about it that long, right? ”
Hearing Zheng Yuanqing's words, the old wizard's face changed suddenly, and he could no longer maintain the calm appearance of the general, he said eagerly: "Great King Zheng Yuanqing, I have lived for more than 90 years, old man, I have really never heard the thing you said, we have lived in this place for generations, if there is, we have already escaped a long time ago; ”
When Zheng Yuanqing heard this, he smiled softly, and he didn't pay much attention to his bitter pleading, but actually whispered to Li Lali on the side: "Kill; ”
Li Lali bowed her head slightly, and with a wave of her hand, the head of a woman who was passing by the door exploded into a cloud of blood mist in an instant, white brains, red blood, and dark muscle fragments splashed everywhere, and the woman turned into a dead corpse before she even had time to scream;
A dead man's corpse with a wooden head lay silently on the ground, and a large amount of blood shot from the wound; The natives who were secretly looking in this direction were all frightened, and all of them hurriedly ran back to their own broken houses, and closed the door with a "bang", but from the crack in the door, they could vaguely look at the eyes full of fear and hatred that secretly looked out inside;
Zheng Yuanqing turned a blind eye to most of the things outside, he kept looking at the old wizard with a smile, and the old wizard also didn't look outside, but he made him clearly understand what was going on outside;
Time passed minute by minute, short time later, a minute of time arrived, Zheng Yuanqing turned his head and whispered to Qin Yan who was sitting beside him: "Kill; ”
Qin Yan got up excitedly, jumping up and down, she was able to hum a song and trot to the door, but she saw her stretching out her hand and pointing to a house not far away; At that moment, a fiery dragon rose from her fingertips, roared and pounced on the small house she was pointing to, and with a "boom" sound, it burst open the moment the fiery dragon hit the shack;
The house was immediately blown to pieces, and most of the things inside kept burning, and now at this time, there were 3 fire people who were still burning inside and ran out of the fire; Their whole bodies were burned, and the miserable screams made the whole tribe shudder when they heard it, and they could vaguely see that among the three people were an old man, a man, a woman, and two children;
They ran in pain, rolling on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but the flames seemed to be attached to them, and no matter why they were trapped, there was no way to extinguish them;
And in this arid area, there was enough water for the survivors to come to the rescue, and in this way, under the silent gaze of all the natives of the tribe, the screams of the three people slowly subsided; The fire did not stop because of their deaths, and it was not until all the things in their bodies that they could burn were burned that the flames slowly extinguished, leaving only three charred, charred bones and the smell of mushy wafting from five places;
Zheng Yuanqing saw that the flames outside had subsided, he turned around and smiled at the old wizard and said, "Oh, I accidentally killed two more people, 3 minutes have passed at this time, which means that you still have two minutes to think about it, you see, I am a very fair person, don't I?" ”
The old wizard was angry and burst into tears, he pointed at Zheng Yuanqing and scolded: "Okay, good, good, you devil, don't you want to go to the tomb of Lord Ag Tassel, I will take you over, I curse you to be captured by the soul of Lord Ag Tassel to be a slave for life; ”
Before he could say anything, the old wizard trembled and got up under the support of the two women and walked out first, Zheng Yuanqing saw that he was finally willing to tell the secret that his tribe had been guarding, and hurriedly beckoned his own people to follow;
The old wizard first appeased the frightened natives of the tribe in Guang here, and after talking about it, a little wood asked the girl to help him again, and he limped with Zheng Yuanqing and these people to the back mountain behind the village;
The scene in the back mountain was very terrifying, which made the timid Grea scream in fright and couldn't help but get into Li Lali's arms; The back mountain is a cemetery, and the funeral customs of this tribe are a bit strange, and they rejoice in sky burials;
The sky burial is when a dying old man realizes that his time is short, in order not to drag down the small survivor groups and tribes, he will walk to the tribe's cemetery one by one, and then quietly wait for the death to come; When he dies, vultures and rats, beasts, and some maggots and other insects will eat their dead human corpses, leaving only the bones, which is the celestial burial;
You know, this tribe has been circulating for at least a thousand years, and thousands of years of hard work have made this cemetery full of tens of thousands of bones, and even a few bones that will be dead for a long time, and the corpses of dead people have not been eaten clean by wild beasts;
Their chests had been torn open, their organs had been eaten by the vultures' scavenging birds, the heat had made the dead rot terribly, the dead man's corpses were full of black maggots burrowing through the flesh, and from time to time rats and beasts such as rats came out of the inside, and when they looked at someone, they screamed and then slipped somewhere;
The old wizard led them to the edge of the cemetery, pointed to a cave at the other end of the cemetery, which was not very large, and said, "Go down that cave and go in, which is the tomb of Master Aggrassel, and the place you are looking for.
