Chapter 367: Into the Mountain (Part II)

"Who are you?"

The young man whispered in a menacing voice.

He also spoke the lingua franca, albeit with a slight accent, but Luo Ming had no problem communicating with him.

"My name is Lomine and her name is Granty. ”

As he spoke, Luo Ming simply raised his hands to show that he was not hostile.

Although, even if he relied on these empty hands, or even just one hand, he was sure that he would kill the person in front of him.

Granty also raised her hands boldly, with a nonchalant expression on her face.

Maybe Luo Ming and Granty's performance was a little too explicit, the young man's eyes tightened, and on the surface he didn't look like there was much change, but Luo Ming had already seen that his muscles were tense in several places, which was exactly the preparation to attack or retreat and escape at any time.

“...... I'm asking you why. He asked in a deep voice.

"There's a tribe around here, I'm from outside the mountains, I want to ask them something, and do some business by the way.

Look at the bag on my back, it has salt, cloth and arrows in it. ”

There is nothing false in Luo Ming's words...... There may be a deliberate omission, but there is absolutely no half-truth.

Unless you are a scheming person, you will be deceived by such words for a while.

He is indeed here to ask questions, and he is also here to "do business".

Although it is true that there is a lack of salt, cloth, and arrowheads in the mountains, and even these can be regarded as strategic resources for the mountain barbarians, a little more will not increase their strength much.

And with these as gifts or bribes, Luo Ming can easily buy a lot of information, and even gain some leading party - isn't this a kind of business?

When the Europeans and people in the Middle East colonized and expanded everywhere, they would engage in the black slave trade, but in fact, no matter which side was not adapted to the climate and environment of black Africa, there were not many people they could send to Africa, and they would suffer heavy casualties if they rushed in.

But it was the chiefs and princes of Africa who captured and sold a large number of black slaves, saving the colonists a lot of effort.

These nobles never considered people in other tribes or nations to speak the same language and have the same skin color as their own compatriots.

They don't have any sense of country and nation at all, at most they have a little sense of fellow villagers - so people who are a kilometer away are considered outsiders who should be killed.

Even in the end, the Europeans began to abolish slavery and stopped buying black slaves, and these African nobles were terrified, begging them to raise their noble hands to buy more, otherwise they would lose a considerable income, and they would have to cut back on food and clothing, or even go bankrupt.

"You are new faces, and you are not afraid of my ......"

The young man hesitated, and after a few seconds, he made a decision.

One hand still held the short spear against Luo Ming's neck, and with the other hand, he pulled a bone from his waist and put it to his mouth.

It was probably the leg bone of some kind of large beast, polished and machined into a bone flute.

A low voice like a wind whistle spread, and if it weren't for the fact that as a sword master, Luo Ming might not have been able to detect this low voice.

There is a limit to human hearing, and beyond this limit, it will be called ultrasound or infrasound. Dog whistles on Earth emit ultrasound waves that can be heard by dogs when they can't be heard.

Then, about 130 meters away, a dog barked loudly.

Unlike the usual watchdog or pet dog, the bark of this dog is actually two or three points close to the barking of a wolf.

It didn't take long for a wolf dog with an elongated body to appear in front of the three of them.

"Oh, what a dog. ”

Luo Ming said in a complimenting tone.

In fact, he doesn't know about dogs, but the size of this dog is suitable for fighting and moving in the mountains and forests, it breathes very rhythmically, and its body is also very stable when standing, and several abrasions on its body also clearly show the fact that it has experienced a hundred battles.

Besides, it's also a good idea to have a good relationship with the owner and praise his pet.

The young man's voice also carried a little smugness: "This is the breed of the dog god, of course it is a good dog, although it will take another half a year to become an adult, but even now, it can bite over a few wolves!"

"Inu God?" Luo Ming asked curiously, "Is it great?"

"Of course, Lord Inugami can eat most of the sheep in one meal, and he also bit a tiger to death, and he only lost a few hairs!"

The young man said in a proud tone.

Hearing this, Luo Ming also had a little respect.

A large amount of food, especially meat, is the foundation for a strong body.

Those who can eat a few catties of meat every day are already considered rare strong men among human beings.

And most of the sheep are at least fifteen kilograms.

As for the tiger...... The beast of this beast is not easy to deal with.

Humans were able to hunt tigers because of their intelligence and skill, the ability to make traps, use poison bait, etc., and later add hunting dogs and muskets.

But even so, in fact, Orion is often killed by tigers.

Luo Ming's master once lived bare-handed in Siberia for half a year, fighting all kinds of beasts as one of the important parts of his martial arts practice.

According to the master, an adult male bear is already an animal beyond the limits of the human body, and even if he fights with it, he will feel pain in his arm, and he will have to cooperate with some skills to defeat it.

Faced with an adult male bear, it is estimated that the flesh and blood will fly in ten seconds...... No, maybe you'll be slapped in the face and half of your head will be blown away, and you'll be eaten to the bones in a few seconds.

In the eyes of the Siberian tiger, bears are just a tricky source of food – Soviet-era documents show that bears and tigers win less than a third of their lives at the same size, and some tigers have even developed a habit of eating bears.

And this "dog god" can bite a tiger to death and only lose a few hairs himself, which is afraid that he has to have the level of a swordsman.

And a dog with the strength of a sword master, in this kind of mountain tribe, has the status of a god, it is indeed very likely to happen.

The young man was talking with his eyebrows fluttering, and suddenly remembered the original intention of calling the dog over, in order to call people over, not to talk to Luo Ming, and hurriedly stopped his mouth.

Granty couldn't help but chuckle.

The young man coughed awkwardly, stopped talking, and muttered something to the dog.

The dog was indeed quite psychic, barked quietly, and then turned around and burrowed into the woods.

It didn't take long for a few dog barks to sound nearly two hundred meters away, followed by another voice.

Led by the dog, more than a dozen footsteps approached the three of them.
