Chapter 659: New Year's Offering
in the room.
Lei's face was a little unnatural, and there was a faint grief in his voice.
"Why?"
Ye Tian asked strangely.
Lei's mood was a little low, but Juque next to him sighed and said, "This Brother Ye, it's really not a secret, Lei's father went to participate in the trial of the Medicine God Tower, but he never came back after he went." β
"Lei's father is also an alchemist?"
Ye Tian was slightly startled.
Juque shook his head and said, " That's not it, in fact, the trial of the Medicine God Tower is not only alchemists can participate, as long as the cultivation reaches a certain level, and you can get an additional trial quota if you have the trial token of the Medicine God Tower, Lei's father Mo Yan was lucky enough to get a token, so he went to the Medicine God Tower to try, hoping to improve his strength and plan for the future of the Rock Spirit Tribe, but who would have thought that the trial of the Medicine God Tower was extremely cruel, and the death rate was terrible, even the top alchemists in the Medicine City were in groups to get the guarantee of survival, and a lonely trialist from the wilderness like Mo Yan could hardly come out of it aliveοΌβ
Ye Tian glanced at Lei and found that the originally lively and active guy was clenched with his hands at this time, and his expression was full of grief and indignation.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen. β
Ye Tian said apologetically.
Lei said slowly: "Brother Ye, what does this have to do with you, you don't need to apologize to me! Our Rock Spirit Tribe is in the wilderness, no more powerful than those who live in the Medicine City, and often need to suffer from various natural disasters. My father wanted to make the tribesmen live a better and more dignified life, so he tried his best to enter the Medicine God Trial Tower, but in the end, he still couldn't get out alive after all. Brother Ye, I know that your cultivation is much stronger than my father's, but the danger there is definitely not what ordinary people can imagine, and the victors who end up alive every year are either those top alchemists or young people from the surrounding powers, and they will definitely not come from the wilderness. At the end of his speech, there was great helplessness in his voice.
Ye Tiandao: "Lei, thank you for your kindness, but I definitely want to go to the Medicine God Tower." β
"Brother Ye!"
Lei was suddenly anxious, how could he have thought that he had said so much bitterly, and the other party insisted on going.
Ye Tian said solemnly: "Lei, I have my reasons, but you can rest assured, even if the Medicine God Pagoda is extremely dangerous, it is impossible to hurt me." β
Lei still wanted to persuade again, but seeing that Ye Tian's eyes were firm, he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Oh no, no, the people from the Qinghe Alliance are here. β
At this moment, a middle-aged woman suddenly broke in outside the house, and her face became extremely panicked.
Everyone in the room was shocked when they heard the words Qinghe Alliance, and their eyes were full of anger.
"Damn, these guys are here again!"
Lei gritted his teeth and said, his eyes full of anger.
"It's not good. β
Juque's face was full of worry, and although the whole person was also angry, it was more of a helplessness.
"All the guys from the Rock Spirit Tribe come out for me!"
There was a roar outside, and the voice carried a hint of true qi, which was buzzing in everyone's ears.
"We went out and couldn't disturb Grandpa's retreat. β
Lei knew that the old patriarch at this time was recovering from his illness, and he could no longer be disturbed by anything, so his face sank at this time, and he took the lead in walking out.
Ye Tian wanted to ask about the situation, but when he saw Lei leading everyone out of the old patriarch's house, he followed.
......
There was a group of people standing in the open field outside, about seven or eight of them. The leader was a young man, who was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, and was standing at the front with a proud expression at this time, and there was an extremely tall man standing beside him, with a strong momentum all over his body, and he knew that his cultivation was not weak at a glance, and as for the few people around him, they were also looking around with arrogant eyes.
There are also many tribesmen gathered here, only some old and weak women and children, and their faces are all frightened.
Lei soon led everyone outside, and his face sank when he saw those people.
"Hmph, it's finally out. β
A sneer crossed the corner of the mouth of the young man in fancy clothes standing at the front, and he said extremely arrogantly: "I thought that you people from the Rock Spirit Tribe wanted to be a turtle with a shrunken head." β
"Zhao Jie, don't be rampant, all the men in our Rock Spirit Tribe are men who stand up to the sky!"
Lei gritted his teeth and said angrily.
Zhao Jie's face was full of sneers, and he said, "Don't talk nonsense with me, this year, your Yanling tribe's annual payment has been in arrears for more than a month, do you want to rebel?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Rock Spirit Tribe sank like water.
"You're reallyβ"
Lei angrily wanted to speak, but just halfway through speaking, he was pulled by Juque beside him, he took a deep breath, and said: "Young Master Zhao Jie, it's not that we don't want to hand it over, it's just that you also know that the medicinal materials around have been almost collected recently, and earlier this year, there was an ice cannon and snow disaster, and it was impossible to obtain a sufficient share of medicinal materials." β
"Hmph, I don't care what your reason is, in short, if you can't get together the medicinal materials of your Rock Spirit Tribe this year, then next year's annual supply will have to be doubled!"
Zhao Jie over there said quite impatiently.
"Double!"
Lei was suddenly furious, the annual annual offering was originally extorted by these so-called big forces from these small tribes, but this annual offering almost consumed the income of their tribe for almost the entire year, otherwise the clansmen of the Rock Spirit Tribe would not be as shabby as they are today, and even his father did not need to go to the Medicine God Tower to change the fate of the Rock Spirit Tribe, thinking of this, he couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily:" Your Qinghe Alliance is clearly trying to force our tribe to die, okay, since that's the case, then we won't pay it again in the future. β
"Lei!"
Juque shouted urgently.
Zhao Jie's face suddenly turned cold, and he said sarcastically: "Hehe, it's really ridiculous that a small rock spirit tribe dares to fight against the entire Qinghe Alliance?! Okay, since you dare to provoke the dignity of the alliance, then let your Qinghe tribe pay the due price today." β
"Young Master Zhao Jie, our young patriarch is young, please bear with me!"
Ju Que's expression was full of anxiety, although he himself felt extremely disgusted with this arrogant and rude guy, but the Qinghe Alliance was really a behemoth to them, if they really offended the other party, then the entire Rock Spirit Tribe would have no place to stand.
"Hmph, stop talking nonsense, take this kid down for me!"
Zhao Jie sneered and waved his hand, and several big men around him immediately surrounded Lei Tuantuan.
