Chapter 400: The Lion and the Dragon
There were six green-skinned young men approaching under the ancient tree with torches, Yi Yin simply stopped dodging, and if he wanted to save Yasuo, sooner or later he would clash with the tree people, so he jumped directly from the ancient tree, x
"Xiao Yun?" The leader among the six clansmen was stunned, and then burst into laughter: "Haha, it really didn't take any effort to get it." We sent our people to the ancient forest to arrest you, but I didn't expect you to come to the door by yourself, come and capture her for me!"
"Second uncle, can you let me go, if I die, grandpa will be very lonely in the world alone!" Qi Xiaoyun cried and begged.
The man who was called the second uncle sighed, his face was bitter, and said, "Xiao Yun, in order to ensure the safety of the whole clan, you have to make sacrifices, and the second uncle has no choice. In a quarter of an hour it will be time for the sacrifice, and if there are no virgins, the lions and dragons will come out of the valley, and the whole people will suffer!"
Qi Xiaoyun gritted her teeth and said, "Second uncle, since you refuse to let me go, then I won't talk about any kinship anymore, and I won't go back to make sacrifices tonight, and besides, I have to go and rescue Yasuo." ”
"Xiao Yun, do you know the consequences of your actions?
"No, I've found a strong helper, and if the lion dragon comes, he can defeat it. ”
"Helper?" The second uncle shifted his gaze to Yi Yin beside Qi Xiaoyun, he had already noticed Yi Yin's existence when he was talking to Xiao Yun just now, but he didn't greet Yi Yin, at this time, he looked at Yi Yin carefully, looked up and down, and there was nothing special about it.
"Xiao Yun, this kind of thing must not be joked, if he can't defeat the lion elephant dragon by then, our people will all be unlucky. "Second Uncle doesn't believe in Yi Yin's strength.
"Don't worry, second uncle, I was chased by the yellow centipede before, and I almost died in Huangquan, if it wasn't for Yi to strike first, I might have died in the ancient forest. ”
"He Yi Yi actually killed the yellow centipede first?" The second uncle's eyes were full of surprise, even he was not sure to kill the yellow centipede with his personal strength, the young man in front of him seemed ordinary, but his strength was not weak, after thinking about it, he smiled and said: "Since this is the case." Then please Yi Xian accompany us to the clan, if Yi Xian can really kill the lion elephant dragon, then he will be the great hero of my tree clan. Xiao Yun, you also come along, if Yi Xian fails, we can only hand you over to the lion elephant dragon. ”
"Don't worry, Yi Xian is very strong. Qi Xiaoyun was full of confidence, Yi Yin could only smile bitterly, he didn't know what the grade of the lion elephant dragon they were talking about, of course he couldn't rashly agree, but Yasuo's predecessor's life was on the verge of death, and he couldn't refuse, and besides, listening to what the second uncle said was not like a joke, if he didn't sacrifice, the whole clan would suffer, and many factors made Yi Yin unable to make a decision for a while, so he could only take one step at a time.
Under the leadership of the second uncle, Yi Yin and Qi Xiaoyun entered the clan and came to the altar where the clan was gathered in a circle, the second uncle and one of the white-headed old men whispered a few words, the old man was slightly surprised at first, glanced at Yi Yin and Qi Xiaoyun, and then his face was solemn, so that people couldn't guess what he was thinking.
On the stone platform, Yasuo, who had originally lowered his head, immediately shouted for help as soon as he saw Yi Yin: "Yi Xiaoyou, come and save me!"
Yi Yin made a gesture that was okay, and Yasuo saw it, so he relaxed and stopped shouting.
"Grandpa!"
Before the old man came, Qi Xiaoyun rushed and threw himself into the old man's arms, tears welled up, hearing his granddaughter's cry, the old man's eyes were also red, but he couldn't hold back his tears, but said angrily in Xiao Yun's ear: "Dead girl, didn't grandpa tell you, let you go quickly, go as far as possible, why do you want to come back, you know that your return is a dead end, even grandpa can't help you." ”
"However, if I escape, the whole clan will suffer, and grandpa will leave me, grandpa, Xiao Yun can't bear you, I would rather die than leave here. Qi Xiaoyun cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, and the old man's eyes were also filled with tears, he stopped talking, he could only sigh again and again, and then let go of Xiao Yun, first stretched out his hand to signal, and shouted: "Everyone, please stop first and listen to me say a few words." ”
The clansmen who were originally circling around the circular altar immediately paused, and all their eyes were fixed on the old man.
The old man cleared his throat and said, "Tonight's sacrifice is canceled. ”
Before the words fell, the clansmen had already made a sensation.
"Patriarch, how can this be done? if the lion elephant dragon comes later, we will definitely become his food!"
"You can't be reluctant just because she is your granddaughter, according to convention, this time it is your granddaughter's turn, patriarch, you must not use your power for personal gain!"
"That is, it is very unfair for the patriarch to do this, and, have you ever wondered what the consequences of doing this are?"
All the people were basically resisting, and they must not agree with the old man's decision.
The old man saw it in his eyes, but he was not in a hurry to speak, and when everyone's voices gradually weakened, he slowly spoke: "Everyone don't be impatient, the reason why I stopped the sacrifice is for two reasons. ”
"First, although the lion elephant dragon is terrible, it will eat two boys and girls in the middle of each month, and if it does not achieve its goal, it will take the act of slaughtering the tribe, in order to protect the safety of the people, we can only endure the humiliation and burden, and do not hesitate to contribute the children of the clan to make food for the lion elephant dragon. For a year, the griffon dragon has eaten twenty-four of our children, we have tolerated it before, but now, we can't bear it anymore, we can resist it together!"
"Resist it, patriarch, it is a fourth-order high-level fierce beast, comparable to a ninth-order spirit level or even a grandmaster-level powerhouse, the strongest in our clan is only a fifth-order spirit level, even if the whole clan exerts force together, it is impossible for it to be its opponent. The second uncle immediately retorted.
"That's the second reason I'm going to say - because of Yi Shaoxia's joining, our chances of winning are one percent more. The old man pointed at Yi Yin and said with a smile on his face.
The eyes of hundreds of clansmen moved to Yi Yin in unison, Yi Yin's face remained unchanged, and he could only smile and nod.
"Who is he?"
A clansman asked.
Before the old man could answer, there was a sudden earth-shattering roar from the ancient forest, this roar was as sharp as thunder and lightning, even if it was far away, everyone who heard it unconsciously felt that the body trembled, this was a tremor from the soul!
"It's coming. ”
The people all fell silent, and looked at the entrance with horror, which was pitch black, and although the moon shone, it was still dark.
The old man shouted: "Everyone listen to me, prepare the arrows, aim at the entrance, listen to my orders later, everyone hides, the lion and the dragon are coming!"
