Chapter 64: The Moonstone Tribe
"Oh, what's going on? ”
Sun Licheng was indeed very interested.
According to Adair, that small tribe was called the Moonstone Tribe, and the entire tribe was less than 300 people, living in a relatively remote valley. In that valley there was a cave, the hole was very deep, and there was a dark river in it. Because the water inside is very sweet, and there are many cold-water fish, the Yueshi tribe not only often goes inside to catch fish, but also puts important sacrifices in the cave.
But some time ago, a strange sound suddenly appeared in the cave, and they sent someone in to investigate. But the people who went in not only did not find anything, but also fainted in the cave for some reason. At this time, the Moonstone tribe was scared, because they had too few people, so they did not continue to investigate the matter.
In the big battle that took place a few days ago, the Moonstone tribe also sent out Jingzhuang. At the end of the war, the Moonstone Tribe happened to be returning home with the Luna Tribe, and when they talked about it while chatting on the way, Adair took it to heart.
"That's what it looks like, thank you so much, Big Brother Adair. ”
Sun Licheng actually felt that this matter was very ordinary, but for the sake of Adair's hard work to come and tell him, he sincerely expressed his gratitude.
"I'm here to change things in the Silver Moon Tribe this time, and I'll be able to take you there when I go back, how about it?"
Adair laughed heartily and continued to suggest.
Of course, Sun Licheng must nod and agree to this kind of request, otherwise it will be a waste of people's kindness. Moreover, he also has a thought, the Silver Moon Tribe is developing well now, and it is likely to weaken its support for himself. If you can get to know more tribes, you can expand your network, whether it is to accumulate your own power or complete the tasks of the earth god, it is a lot of benefits.
Despite being in a primitive society, the goblins were still very efficient in exchanging supplies, and soon Adair was ready to return with the team.
This time, Christina had to follow her, Sun Licheng thought about it and agreed. In this year, girls rarely have the opportunity to travel far, Sun Licheng felt that the task was not dangerous, so he just took her to play.
Because of Sun Licheng's carriage, the speed of the caravan of the Moon God tribe to go back has increased a lot, and it only took less than four days to rush home.
Compared with the Silver Moon Tribe, the Moon God Tribe is a relatively large tribe, with a lot more people, Sun Licheng counted roughly, there are nearly two thousand people. Because of the large number of people, the living conditions are also much better, but now the Silver Moon Tribe relies on the salt and bronze trade, and the standard of living surpasses that of the Moon God Tribe.
Seeing the patriarch of the Luna tribe, that is, Adair's mother, Sun Licheng knew where Adair's big and arrogant character came from. The old patriarch was very kind and sincere, and when he heard that Sun Licheng was searching the mysterious area around him, he offered to help.
For this kindness, Sun Licheng reciprocated the favor and said that he could teach them the metal smelting process.
The Luna tribe was very happy with this result, they were very greedy for the huge profits made by the Silvermoon tribe in the bronze trade, at least it could meet the basic requirements of their own tribe.
"Don't worry, Sun Licheng, as long as you teach us the art of smelting metal, I will give you some slaves. ”
When the old patriarch heard that Sun Licheng was going to buy some slaves, he said heroically.
This made Sun Licheng's favorability towards the Moon God tribe rise significantly.
After two days in the Luna Tribe, Adair took Sun Licheng to the Moonstone Tribe.
"How poor!"
Sun Licheng sighed in the face of the Moonstone Tribe.
This tribe is located in a very remote valley, and if the Silvermoon tribe was originally poor, then the moonstone tribe is completely poor.
The weather is not warm now, the temperature is very low in the early morning, but the children of the Yueshi tribe are running around with their bare butts, and when they see Sun Licheng and them, they have clear snot, and they are curiously surrounding them with black fingers.
"Welcome to the Moonstone Tribe, everyone hurry up and go into the house to rest. ”
Just as Sun Licheng took out the dried meat in his arms and distributed it to the children here, the patriarch of the Yueshi tribe rushed back from a distance and sent an invitation to Sun Licheng and them.
Entering the tattered council hall, the patriarch, who looked very old, boiled water from a broken clay pot on a bonfire.
The leader of the Moonstone tribe, a stout goblin, beckoned everyone to eat some fruit. He was blind in one eye and had a torn hide around his head.
"I was wounded in the war a few days ago, but fortunately I still have a life. However, only four or five of their elites came back from this expedition, and the losses were somewhat too great. ”
Seeing that Sun Licheng was more puzzled, Adair whispered to him beside him.
Sun Licheng suddenly realized, looked at the old patriarch again, and found that she was not as old as Eve of the Silver Moon Tribe, but she looked much older than the latter, which was completely caused by overwork.
"Can you send someone to take me to that cave?"
After talking for a while, Sun Licheng spoke.
"This ...... That cave is dangerous, so we'd better not go there. ”
The leader of the cyclops looked reluctant when he heard this, and it seemed that the war had not only blinded him in one eye, but also destroyed most of his courage.
"Well, if you send someone to take me to that cave, I'll give you some food, and the leader of Adar can vouch for it, and send someone to bring it over. What do you think?"
Seeing that the leader of the one-eyed dragon was unwilling, Sun Licheng spoke.
"Yes, we'll send you in a moment. ”
Without waiting for the one-eyed dragon leader to speak, the old patriarch spoke. Food, they're in great short supply right now.
Soon, under the leadership of a young goblin, Sun Licheng and they set off. Before leaving, Sun Licheng persuaded him to die and live, and finally let Christina stay in the Moonstone Tribe. No matter what was in that cave, Sun Licheng didn't want Christina to take the risk, once something happened to her, it would definitely have a huge impact on her relationship with the Silver Moon Tribe, so she had to be careful.
Under the guidance of the guide, Sun Licheng and the others walked for about an hour before they came to the side of the cave. Here, the guide is ready to take his leave.
"Sun Licheng, don't you really need me to go down with you?"
Carrying a bronze axe, Wall asked Sun Licheng suspiciously.
"Thank you, Brother Adair, I'll go by myself. Besides, there are too many people, not only can they not be used inside, but they are also more likely to be dangerous. ”
Sun Licheng shook his hand with a smile and refused.
Adair thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay then, you have to be careful. We await your good news in the Moonstone Tribe. ”
After speaking, he also patted Sun Licheng's shoulder to express encouragement.
When Adair and the guide were far away, Sun Licheng breathed a sigh of relief. He has a lot of secrets on him, and he doesn't want these goblins to find out. For these faith-centered guys, Sun Licheng is not very relieved from the bottom of his heart.
"Wolf King, you stay outside, and call out to the cave if there is a situation. ”
Sun Licheng gave an order to the wolf king and entered the cave with the dog meat.
After entering the cave, Sun Licheng found that the cave was not very big, but it was very deep, and the stone wall was relatively damp.
Sun Licheng walked all the way with the dog meat, and he didn't find any danger, and everything seemed very calm.
"Could it be that the Moonstone Tribe misheard?"
Sun Licheng was puzzled. But soon, he dismissed the idea. People have lived here for so long, so it can be said that they know every grass and tree here, how can they be mistaken?
Thinking of this, Sun Licheng let the dog meat stand aside, and he pricked up his ears to listen carefully, and finally, he heard an unusual sound, as if some kind of animal was sliding on the ground, very faint, but real.
"Monsters?"
Sun Licheng said secretly in his heart, and then slowly pulled out the Breaking Army Mountain Chopping Knife, at this time, this horizontal knife was his most reliable partner.
The further you go in, the wider the cave becomes, and a large number of stalactites stretch from the top of the mountain to the ground, making the light even darker.
Finally came to the bottom of the cave, this is a large space, a dark river of about one meter or so passes through the bottom of the cave, there are constantly flashes of white light in the river, Sun Licheng estimates that those are the cold-water fish in the dark river, not small.
Looking at the thick stalactite pillars around him, Sun Licheng scratched his head a little, it was really troublesome to hide a monster here.
At this moment, the dog meat made a whining sound, its body arched, and its red eyes shone towards a stone pillar, which suddenly made it much brighter.
Under the light, there is a large black shadow on the wall.
If you look closely, there is also a big tail next to the pillar, which is still slowly swinging.
"It's a big snake!"
Sun Licheng's heart sank, and the hand holding the horizontal knife clenched tighter.
