Chapter 216: The Fox Tribe
"Princess Lingxue, how far is the fox tribe from here?"
After walking for about several hours, the temperature gradually decreased, and Ye Tian still didn't find any shadows of cities and tribes, so he couldn't help but be curious.
"It's coming, you should be there after dark. Lingxue said.
As night fell, the crescent moon hung high in the sky, emitting a bleak moonlight.
In the vast desert, the golden sand still contains a blazing temperature.
The wind carried the sand, swept through the heavens and the earth, and the wind howled and howled.
Ye Tian didn't know how long he had been gone, and under the leadership of Ling Xue, through a green forest, the tribal fortress slowly appeared not far in front of him.
At a glance, at this time, inside the fortress, the lights are bright, and on the hard city wall as high as three or four zhang, there are dense arrow towers.
Next to each arrow tower, there are several two-tailed fox people with a good atmosphere, and even at night, they are not the slightest vigilant.
And at the gate of the tribal fortress, there were two fox people with three-star martial artists, relying on the faint firelight, and vaguely saw the figures of Ye Tian and the others in the distance.
"What people!"
The guards at the city gate shouted violently, their eyes were also full of vigilance, and they immediately lit up the spear in their hands, and the tip of the spear pointed directly at Ye Tian and the others in the distance, and the demon yuan in his body instantly condensed.
Hearing this, the guards on the city wall changed slightly, and jumped on their toes to the arrow tower.
These fortress guards are burdened with heavy burdens, and if the two people who come to the fortress are foreign invaders, they will shoot them at a distance at any time!
A few of the guards quickly walked to the alarm bell, and if they couldn't stop them, they could only ring the bell to call more people to come.
At this time, Ye Tian opened the writing wheel and looked at the guards hundreds of feet away, his face couldn't help but show shame.
These people guarding the fortress are all male fox people.
Every tall guard has a handsome appearance, a white robe, and an ethereal fairy aura on his body, like a fairy man who has taken off his mundane nature.
At this time, Ye Tian knew that Ling Xue's previous ridicule was reasonable, these male fox people were indeed much taller than him in terms of appearance alone...
After walking for a long time, Ling Xue and Ye Tian slowly came to the city gate.
"Your Royal Highness Princess?" The guards at the city gate took a closer look and found that it was the princess of the fox clan who came to the fortress at night, and immediately put down the spear in his hand.
Seeing this, the guards above lifted their vigilance and lightly jumped down the arrow tower.
"Well, nothing big happened in the tribe today, right?" Different from the previous liveliness, Ling Xue's face at this time was full of the dignity of the superior, and her tone was flat.
"To your Highness, thanks to you and the Queen, there have been no major incidents in the near future. One of the guards of the city gate bowed respectfully and saluted, but his heart was a little frightened.
There is only one way to leave the fox tribe, and the princess quietly left the tribe, and they, who have been guarding the fortress all year round, don't even know it, which is too dereliction of responsibility.
Fortunately, the above did not know, otherwise once they were questioned, they would probably be severely punished.
Seeing a young man standing next to Ling Xue, the guard smelled the annoying human smell from his body, and couldn't help but say with some doubts: "Your Highness, may I ask who this is?"
"This Mr. Ye is the most honored guest of my fox clan, so you must not slack off, otherwise you will go to the Purgatory Hall to confess your guilt. Lingxue said lightly with dignified hands.
Hearing the words "Purgatory Hall", the faces of the two guards changed, and their bodies trembled.
The Purgatory Hall is different from the Law Enforcement Hall, which is basically full of torture instruments, and generally only if you commit a serious crime, you will be imprisoned and punished, such as betraying the news of the tribe and wantonly killing your own kind.
The most fearful thing for these fox people is to enter the purgatory hall, where the law enforcement officers will not ask you what crime you have committed, but will directly sentence you to a month.
Every sinner who makes it out there alive will go insane and become a fool.
Just neglecting this human will be sent to purgatory, which shows the importance of this person in the princess's heart.
"Yes, Your Highness... The villain remembered. After calming down their frightened faces, the two guards said respectfully at the same time.
"Well, open the city gate quickly, I want to meet Mr. Ye with the queen mother. ”
"Okay. The gate guard nodded and shouted, "Open the gate!"
As soon as the voice fell, the city gate behind him "squeaked" and slowly opened to both sides.
"Let's go. Ling Xue turned around and said with a light smile, and immediately led Ye Tian into the tribe together.
Entering the fox tribe, Ye Tian found that this place was different from the human city, it was very much like a plateau, full of loess and grass, there were no roads paved with stone slabs, there were no stone brick houses, and there were countless tents.
These tents resemble yurts, made of wood and strips of cloth, and are still sturdy and undamaged, with a few strange trees around them.
Ye Tian looked over and saw a magnificent palace, although it was far away, he could still feel a faint sense of oppression.
On the way to the palace, the two met many fox people, most of whom were women, and there were only two or three tails behind them.
"Princess. ”...
"Hmm. ”
Hearing the sound of greeting, Ling Xue also nodded her head one by one.
There were still hundreds of zhang away from the palace, Ye Tian saw that there were no tents for the clansmen to live in, so he turned his head and said calmly: "It should be very tiring to suppress your nature like this." ”
Along the way, Lingxue has always had a plain and dignified complexion, and she is not the same person at all as the lively and active Lingxue before.
"Alas, what about being tired, my fate has long been sealed. Sighing slightly, Ling Xue shook her head lightly and said, she has been protected by people since she was a child and enjoys a high-quality life, but she can only exchange freedom, all of which are equal.
Ye Tian didn't know how to comfort him when he heard this, so he could only quietly follow Ling Xue forward.
After a while, Ye Tian and the others finally came to the front of the fox clan's palace.
After a closer look, Ye Tian sighed in his heart, although this palace was extraordinary, it was not as gorgeous as imagined, but it exuded a noble and mysterious atmosphere.
At the entrance of the palace, there are nine fox girls, seven and eight with three tails behind them, and they have the strength of the peak of the nine stars of the human race.
And there is even a four-tailed fox girl, Ye Tian can feel that she should be at the strength of a human one-star martial spirit.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, what is the matter with coming to the Queen's palace late at night. The four-tailed fox girl took a step forward and asked respectfully, there was a human beside Ling Xue, and she had to be a little more vigilant.
From ancient times to the present, this tribal palace has been a place for successive queens, deliberations and rest, and even Lingxue, who is a princess, cannot live here.
However, due to her noble status, Lingxue also has her own exclusive courtyard in the tribe, although it cannot be compared with the palace, it is also bright and extraordinary.
