Chapter 594: The Grinding Stone Tribe
The little skull was cold and cold, and it didn't carry much weight like a little squirrel.
Ye Xi looked at it, his heart seemed to be stuffed with something, and he was very depressed.
“...... Why did you die here?"
"Did the people who live here kill you?"
There was silence in the cave.
The mossy hollow eye sockets of the little skull looked at Ye Xi quietly, and damp water droplets condensed and dripped from the eye sockets, as if they were crying.
Ye Xi's ears suddenly moved.
He heard a sound coming from outside the cave, far from here, and the sound was extremely soft, like a small worm crawling. But Ye Xi was so strong that he immediately heard the sound of a few people pressing their feet, stepping on dead leaves and branches towards the cave.
Ye Xi wiped the water droplets from the eye sockets of the little skull and gently put it down.
Then he raised his feet and walked towards the mouth of the cave.
The entrance to the cave is covered by dense fringed dendrobium, and it is difficult to see the outside clearly. Ye Xi didn't go out either, just stood at the entrance of the cave, quietly waiting for someone to come through a rattan curtain, his face darkened by the thin light.
"Babble!"
The sound of dead leaves being trampled on became clearer and clearer.
The next moment, the tasseled dendrobium with bright yellow flowers was suddenly broken! A stone spear stabbed sharply into Ye Xi's chest!
??
Ye Xi didn't blink his eyes, his hand was like electricity, and he directly held the stone spearhead that was polished to an extremely sharp point.
??
The spear was as if it had been pinched by iron pincers, and it could not move.
??
The tassel dendrobium was lifted.
The man holding the spear revealed the true face of Lushan.
Ye Xi looked at the comer.
??
It was a thin, grim-looking old man, with very old skin on the back of his hands, earthworm-like tendons and bulging blood vessels, and a filthy animal skin, and a bare and muscular chest, all of which were pitted and full of medal-like scars.
??
At this moment, the cold old man looked at Ye Xi blankly, as if he was stupid.
??
The tassel dendrobium was lifted again.
??
Four veteran warriors armed with stone knives and spears burst in.
??
As soon as they saw Ye Xi, their bodies stiffened in place as if they had become sculptures, as if they had seen something extremely incredible, and they seemed to have seen their relatives who had returned after a long absence, and they were so excited that they were stunned.
??
Ye Xi was a little confused by their reactions, and slowly let go of the hand holding the spear.
??
Unexpectedly, the cold old man also let go of the spear at the same time.
??
"Bang dang!"
??
The spear that no one was holding fell to the ground, breaking the eerie silence.
??
"You...... Where are you from?"
??
The old man spoke.
??
He had a strange tone, a voice as dry as a rag, and he had apparently not spoken for a long time. The bodies of the five old soldiers trembled slightly, and their eyes stared at Ye Xi without blinking, waiting for his reply.
Ye Xi put aside his original hostility towards them and said, "I am from the north. ”
Several of the old soldiers were suddenly so excited that they cried and laughed.
"They're on the right track!!"
"There really are other tribes in the north, and I'll just say that our ancestors came from the north!
"Looking at this young man's strength and clothing, there must be a big tribe in the north!"
The cold old man's eyes were red, tears flashed in the old man's eyes, and a pair of wrinkled hands tightly held Ye Xi's arm, and he kept saying, "Great, great......"
Ye Xi was puzzled in his heart, and when they calmed down a little, he asked, "Why are you so excited when you see me?"
The cold old man wiped his eyes and showed a sad smile: "Please forgive me, we five old men haven't seen outsiders for a long time." ”
"Yes, young man, it's great that you can come here, and I have no regrets to see you before I die!"
"Our tribe is called the Millstone Tribe......"
The five old soldiers were like seeing outsiders on a desert island, excited and excited, they didn't hide anything at all, and they told Ye Xi everything as if they were pouring beans into a bamboo tube.
Because their tribe likes to polish stone tools, so they are called the grinding stone tribe, I don't know when and for what reason they moved here, and then relied on a special grass juice called "Zhencao" to successfully survive in this tropical rainforest full of poisonous insects.
However, the rainforest has a fatal drawback: there are few fierce beasts.
Gradually, the warriors of this relatively strong millstone tribe became fewer and fewer, and their strength became weaker and weaker.
One day, sixty years ago, two dozen warriors went out hunting to survive. There were only witches left in the cave, as well as a group of old and weak women and children, and ordinary people, and of course, the entrance to the cave was blocked with huge stones.
When the cold old man named Arashi said this, his hands trembled, his muddy tears seeped into the layers of wrinkles, and his legs seemed to be weak, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks.
"That day......
"I remember that day very clearly, we were out hunting, and we were very lucky, and we found two very long, very long, thick white flesh worms as thick as tree trunks, enough to fill the bellies of all the fallen people. ”
"But those two flesh worms are more difficult to entangle, and although they are not poisonous, they are extremely powerful, and it took great effort for our twenty brothers to kill them, and then happily carry them back. ”
"It's a little late to get back. ”
Speaking of this, he couldn't say any more, lowered his head and covered his face full of tears with his hands, trapped in the memory of grief and couldn't help himself.
The old man named Bone Claw continued.
"When we rushed back, we found that the boulder at the entrance of the cave had been removed...... The smell of blood at the entrance of the cave was very strong. We walked briskly into the cave and saw a scene that we will never forget. ”
Bone Claw's face was calm, but his wrinkled hands were trembling slightly.
"Our people are all dead, there are bones and scraps of flesh everywhere, my partner, my children, my Eminem have not escaped, not even the witch has died, and the body is gnawed and messed up. ”
"Huge worms have come here and opened the stones at the entrance of the cave and come in and eat them. ”
"But we can't avenge them, we don't even know what kind of giant worm it is, we only see the body fluids crawling on the ground, and we know that it's a huge giant worm. ”
Ye Xi couldn't help but ask when he heard this: "Since there is insect fluid, have you followed the insect liquid to find it?"
Arashi said sadly: "Of course, we chased and chased along the insect fluid on the ground, but the insect liquid finally disappeared on the ground, and we dug the ground, but we couldn't find any trace of the insect at all, even if we shouted towards the hole in the ground, there was no movement." ”
"We've been here for more than sixty years, and we haven't waited for that bug to show up again. ”
The five veterans clenched their fists tightly.
Obviously, although more than 60 years have passed, the hatred in their hearts has not been extinguished.
Ye Xi was silent for a while, and asked, "Are there only five of you fighters left now?"
Arashi sighed: "At the beginning, we survived a total of twenty-seven warriors, and these twenty-seven were all men, and there was not even a woman or a child left in the tribe. We can't just wait, or the Millstone Tribe will disappear completely when we die. ”
