Verse 439: Talemond

"The great Talemond, who has finally returned to this land favored by the gods, has brought us new hope, and the Yutuan tribe will live forever......"

This is a vast land, the sky is blazing, the four fields are endless, the yellow-brown earth is extremely flat, and there are no mountains around as far as the eye can see.

On this vast land, the trees are sparse and scattered, mostly grassy, but now the grass is not very dense and sparse, and there are some bushes dotted on it.

At the edge of a small bush, a large number of people were gathering.

These people looked like a convoy, but unlike the delicate chariots and horses of the central and northern regions, the wagons of this convoy were much rougher, oh no, more ox carts to be precise.

The frames of the convoy were so large that each one looked like a small house, and it was filled with all kinds of miscellaneous items, such as huge pieces of wood, layers of cloth, etc., and scattered jars, jars, and even tables.

With such a large frame and so many things, ordinary horses can't pull even five or six, so it's not the horses that pull the cart, but the oxen. However, unlike ordinary oxen, each of these carts is very large, with thick black scales on its back, and its two horns are also curved and spiraling, like the horns of the legendary demons.

And now, the oxen have been disembarked, and are piled together in twos and threes, and the owners have brought the hay they have prepared and fed them, as a reward for their hard work for half the day.

These thick-armored cattle are in the central part of the convoy, and in the outer part of the convoy, there are also piles of cattle and sheep scattered, but unlike the thick-armored cattle, these cattle and sheep on the periphery are much more normal, and they are all common to people in the central and northern regions.

In the central part of the convoy, except for the frame and the thick armor oxen in twos and threes, the rest is the crowd.

People dressed in thin two-section clothing roamed among them, with the largest crowd gathering in the central part.

A large number of people gathered here, men and women, young and old, surrounded the clearing, and in the middle of the clearing, a straight trunk of a man high was tied to the ground in a strange pattern, and in the middle of the trunk array, a neatly dressed black-skinned old man with a red hat on his head, was dancing slowly, and as he danced, he kept chanting something, and something like "Talemond" came out of his mouth.

As the old man sang and danced, the emotions of the people around him gradually mobilized, and they sang two sentences from time to time, and some of the younger children couldn't help but writhe in place.

Like the old man in the middle, who was constantly beating slowly, the people around him were all black-skinned, except for the few people standing in the north of the circle, who were white and yellow-skinned.

There are a total of four people with different colors of skin, if you carefully observe their standing posture at the moment, you can tell that the two people standing slightly in front of them have a higher identity, and the two people in the back should have a lower identity, and they are standing on the left and right sides, faintly guarding the two people in front of them in the middle.

Looking at the two people in front of them, one is a young man, and the other is a handsome middle-aged man. The middle-aged one looks gentle and elegant, and the young one is much rougher, especially his hair, which is even more eye-catching—it is a strange hairstyle that is shaved on both sides, leaving only the middle one, like horsehair.

The young man with horsehair seemed to be very curious about the scene in front of him, and his eyes stared at the beating old man in the middle without blinking, and after looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but ask about the people around him.

"Uncle Angus, what the hell is Elder Khufu doing?"

Half a body away from the horsehair youth was a dark-skinned man, with a very strong figure, and his body was the same as the rest of the people, and he was dressed in thin two-stage clothes.

Hearing the words of the horse-maned youth, he grinned and replied, "This is a sacrifice, pray that our next journey will be smooth." ”

Sacrifice?

Logically speaking, shouldn't the sacrifice be put on some sacrifices or something? If nothing is put in this way, can the sacrifice be effective?

Norman thought so in his mind.

Well, that's right, this horsehair young man is Norman, and the yellow-skinned people around him are Chen Qinghe, Qin Hao, and Zhang Han.

After the Knights Templar proposed a plan to drill and dive, Norman originally thought that he would have to take a lot of effort to convince these dragons, but he did not expect that the desire of these dragons to return to the mainland was too strong, and the persuasion process was much easier than he imagined. And the rest of the journey finally did not go wrong, indeed as the Templar Knights analyzed, there was no presence of sea tribes in the sea area reached after drilling from the bottom of the frozen continent, and the rest of the journey was smoother.

As they gradually moved away from the frozen continent, the temperature of the sea water not only did not continue to drop, but gradually increased! This made the three dragons, who had strong doubts in their hearts, suddenly have a great increase in confidence, and completely believe Norman's statement, which did play a positive role in their subsequent journey, because although the windless belt in the second half existed, the situation was much more tortuous than Norman wanted before.

The windless belt that extends south of the Frozen Continent is different from the windless belt that extends from the Northlands, it is not a straight line, but a zigzag southwest, and there are some forks in the road. Thanks to the Templars' guidance on the analysis of the astrolabe, they accurately pointed the right path, otherwise it would have taken them a lot more time to get through such a path. It is also because there is evidence of temperature changes to support Norman's statement, which makes the three dragons have a great confidence in him, and unify the idea of "Comrade Long Aotian as the core", so that they did not waste unnecessary time on the discussion of the itinerary.

And after flying in such a windless belt for more than ten days, the Norman and his party finally succeeded in meeting the mainland, and they successfully verified and opened up this glorious road!

According to the original plan, Norman and they should immediately inform the dragons of the news of the successful opening of the Glorious Road after they landed, but Norman did not do so, because they did successfully land on a new continent, but they didn't know whether this was the south of the continent, or whether it was another continent like the frozen continent, so they decided to collect some information before reporting, so as not to rejoice in the air, don't get to the back This is just an island- Due to the existence of the Knights Templar, it is unlikely that they will interpret the astrolabe, but everything must be based on practice after all.

So Chen Qinghe and the others finally turned into human form, and together with Norman, they began to search for the survival trajectory of intelligent creatures to collect information about this continent. And the reason why they want to incarnate into human nature is because their ontological dragon form is too eye-catching and flamboyant, which is easy to attract the vigilance of humans, and it is better to keep a low profile at this moment of pioneering outpost warfare.

As for the current convoy, it is the first ecological collection of intelligent beings that Norman has encountered, and they have mixed in to find out the relevant news.

"Dear Patton, if you really want to talk about it, the current sacrifice is still related to you!"

The voice of the black man beside Norman came again, and looking at his excited appearance, it seemed that the box could not be closed as soon as it was opened.

"If it weren't for Talemond for helping you avoid the beasts, Elder Khufu wouldn't have known that Talemond had finally returned to the savannah. Now with Talemond's blessing, we will definitely be able to make it to Christmas Day this time, and we probably won't lose the lives of some of our people on the road as we did in previous years. Thanks to Talemond ......"

Norman's "uh-huh" casually agreed.

The "Barton" in the mouth of the black uncle Angus is the name that Norman now uses.

The name Norman the Sage is too loud, although there are many people with the same name and surname, but at this sensitive moment that needs to be low-key, Norman really doesn't want to risk being suspicious, so he uses the name of Lord Barton as his current name.

Barton Octavian, that's Norman's name now, and he fulfilled a childhood dream of becoming Lord Barton.

After some chatter, Angus remembered something again, and asked, "By the way, dear Patton, what does Talemond look like? Legend has it that he was so great that his head reached straight up to the sky, and he could be the size of a hill in one hand, right?"

Norman said casually, "Well, that's right, his hand is indeed the size of a hill, don't you also see it?"

When Angus heard this, he became even more excited, "That hill is indeed Talemond's hand!"

What Angus said about the herd, what Talemond, has to go back to a day ago.

Just yesterday morning, Norman and the four of them were flying low over this vast land looking for traces of intelligent creatures, but they did not expect to encounter an unexpected scene.

A vast expanse of darkness invaded from the other side of the sky.

With the invasion of this darkness, the earth trembled with fear, and even they could feel the tremor of the earth in such a state of flying close to the ground, which showed how violent the tremor of the earth was. And with the extraordinary vision brought by the "Funeral Heart Sutra", they also saw what that darkness was.

It is a herd of beasts, a torrent of beasts composed of countless wild ** woven together.

Zebras, wild horses, elephants, yellow four-legged beasts with long horns covered in scales, unknown creatures with spikes like balls bouncing across the ground...... All sorts of beasts that had never been seen before ran wildly on the ground, stretching from left to right in a straight line that filled the horizon, with no end in sight left and right.

The herds are not only on earth, but also in heaven.

Countless birds that have never been seen before fly in the sky, and together with the beasts on the ground, they form this torrent, covering the sky and the sun, so it looks like the sky is dark.

Before the herd arrived, the sound came first.

The sounds of this huge herd were also terrifying, with footsteps, roars, and the constant wails of wild beasts being trampled to death by their companions...... All sorts of voices mingled together, and they rushed towards Norman and them like a hammer hammer.

This horrific scene is desperate, completely beyond human resistance, and in the face of such a scene, human beings can do nothing but feel their own weakness.

But fortunately, Norman is not a pure human being, and Chen Qinghe is not a human at all.

In fact, the best way in this scenario is to fly into the sky quickly, the faster the better, although the beasts are overwhelming, but after all, there is no top sky, as long as they fly fast enough, they can avoid the torrent of beasts. But this is an escape, and three of the four people present are pure-blooded dragons, so let them, the dragons, make way for these beasts?

Joke.

After Chen Qinghe and them turned into human beings, they all restrained their dragon power, but after seeing the scene in front of them, they completely let go of their restraint and unscrupulously exuded their aura, wanting to use their racial advantages to suppress the beasts in front of them, so that these beasts would consciously make way for them.

The innate racial suppression of the dragon clan is indeed effective, in the case of several dragon clans unscrupulously exuding aura, those beasts have not yet approached a large number of people feel frightened, unable to move, many weak ones are even directly frightened and knelt on the ground on the spot, but unfortunately, the power of the beast herd is far beyond the imagination of these dragons.

Under the huge inertia formed by the torrent of beasts, even though many beasts were intimidated by the breath of the dragon clan and could not take a step, the beasts still moved forward as always, and they couldn't stop at all. The only thing that the dragon's breath can do is to make many of the beasts in the herd trampled to death by their companions.

It is useless to use racial superiority to counter this torrent of beasts. But fortunately, in addition to being dragons, Norman and the others are also powerful mages.

Seeing that the breath of the dragon clan alone could not compete with the beast herd, Norman and the others changed their strategy in time and cast a level 9 spell High Rock Metamorphosis Technique, wrapping several people in the middle, and finally holding out until the beast herd passed by.

Although this is a little aggrieved, it is better than fighting these beasts hand-to-hand, and the "hill" that Angus is referring to is the level 9 spell advanced rock metamorphosis technique.

The savannah had a wide view, and the people of Angus's tribe also saw the scene from afar, and then met the Normans.

In terms of orientation, the Normans had escaped from the herd, much to the surprise of the Angus tribesmen.

You know, under the annual herd migration, if there are creatures on the migration route of the herd, there is absolutely no chance of survival, how did these people survive?

Seeing that the identity of the mage was about to be exposed, and he could no longer continue to collect information in a low-key manner, Norman, who had rich experience in lying, casually made up a set of lies, saying that they suddenly descended a huge mountain from the sky to protect them at the desperate moment when they encountered the beasts.
