Chapter 753: You Sleep Here Tonight
The six of them were led down the streets of the trading area, familiar with the atmosphere.
Although the scale here is not as large as the famous cities in Shanghai, it is much better than some of the smaller cities that were newly built later, which shows that the Yanjiao people took a lot of effort to build this trading area.
However, the scale of the Yanhe Trading Area does not stop there, according to those Yanjiao people, they will also expand, and the land will be encircled, and it is impossible to say how big the scale will be at that time.
Even if it is a place similar to a castle, the atmosphere here is obviously different from that on the other side of the sea, the shops here are not complicated, there are not many categories, and there is obviously a tribal style, except for the inns for rest, the shops selling things such as beast meat, horn bones and teeth are the most crowded places. There is a more primitive and wild atmosphere everywhere.
"It's unbelievable that this is the scene here. Gong Jiakan, the eldest of the six, exclaimed.
Although the Yanjiao people who went to pick them up had already introduced them to the Yanhe Trading Area on the way, they were still shocked when they really saw this.
It's really different from what is rumored!
"It seems that we made the right choice. Gongjia Ren sighed.
Several others nodded their heads as well, and it was much better than they had imagined. They are also willing to start a new life in such a place.
"They don't even have a unified currency here, and too, there are few gold items here, and they are all bartering. Gong Jiakan carefully observed the surroundings.
One of the Flame Horn warriors with them couldn't help but say, "Actually, the Great Elder has the idea of unifying the currency in the trading area, but it hasn't been implemented yet for some reasons. ”
"Oh?" Gong Jia Ren was interested, and asked, "Then did your Great Elder say what to use as currency, shells, animal bones, or animal teeth or something?"
The Flame Horn Warrior shut up and didn't say much, they wouldn't reveal much until the Great Elder decided to make it public.
I can't find out. Gongjia Ren can only give up, these Yanjiao people are very stubborn, since they don't want to say it, it will be difficult to pry their mouths open, but this question is still put in Gongjiaren's heart.
While Gongjiaren and the others were being taken to wander around the trading area, Shao Xuan carried the coffin-like large wooden box to the underground secret room.
He wouldn't bring this kind of thing, which he wasn't sure if it was a threat or not, to the headquarters, so he could only put it here.
"It's a lot like those desert monsters. Seiro opened the lid. He said after looking at it.
Like, but after all, it was different, Zheng Luo remembered what the strange man who was transported back to the tribe looked like, although the one in front of him was similar to those shriveled weirdos, but there were many differences.
"Are they complete?" asked Zhengluo.
The people in it, though shriveled, had no scars on their bodies, and their abdomen was deeply sunken, but they were not like those strange people who had only a layer of flesh and bones. There was something in it, perhaps shrunken organs, like the shriveled flesh of the man's body, and those organs might be just as shriveled.
"Is he not controlled yet?" or is there another reason?" Zheng Luo wondered, "According to what you said, since that slave master in the desert took him with him, there must be a reason. ”
"I think, maybe it's because. The one who controls the weirdo can't control the one in front of him. "Shao Xuan wouldn't bring this corpse into the Yanhe trading area without any clue, he had tried it several times on the way.
"This man should have been a strong man in life. Not weaker than you and Ao's strong man, his bones are very hard, you know, our totem warriors of Flame Horn, the stronger the strength, the harder the bones. ”
Of course, Zheng Luo understands this. The junior totem warrior and the senior totem warrior hit a stone of the same quality, the former may be injured, but the latter can directly break the stone, and the improvement of strength is the overall strengthening of the body, and the bones are naturally a part.
This man's bones are hard. Even if he was not good in other aspects during his lifetime, the fact that he was hard bones alone was enough to measure his ability.
"This man should have been dead for a long time. Shao Xuan pinched the ornament that the person was wearing, which was no longer visible, and with a little force, he could hear the clicking sound.
"These ornaments should have been very hard when they were made, just like the bones and teeth of the beasts we used, but after some other things, and time may have passed, it became as fragile as they are now. Even so, they are harder than the bones of normal beasts. Shao Xuan explained.
Zheng Luo understood what Shao Xuan was going to say, these ornaments may be made of the bones of some fierce beasts, and they may be very hard when they are first made, that is to say, that kind of fierce beasts are also very difficult to deal with, and how can the strength of those people who can hunt those fierce beasts be poor?
Yes, the hardness of the bones of different types of fierce beasts is also different, it may be that a fierce beast with less combat effectiveness has harder bones, but Zheng Luo and Shao Xuan believe what they guessed more, they are also a tribe that mainly hunts, and understand the thoughts of the tribesmen. The animal bones used as ornaments, they prefer the more dangerous and aggressive beasts, which can show their strength and status more.
"The people of Yanling like to find some once powerful totem warriors or slaves to be puppet monsters, and this one in front of them may also be one of their goals, but this one is different from the others. Shao Xuan pointed to the person lying in the box, "There is some residual power in his bones, similar to the power of those strange people we met in the desert, but it is too little, not even a small bone can be controlled, let alone the whole person." Those remnants of power should have been left by those people in Yanling who tried to control them, but they have been unsuccessful, so they have been shelved until now. ”
From leaving the desert to the present, Shao Xuan has not felt a little breath of life from this wooden box, in this way, this person should be dead, but a corpse without the breath of life, neither frozen nor treated with medicine, has not been controlled by other forces, why can it still maintain such a degree without decaying?
The reason why the insects and beasts that were together with the pterosaurs were able to be preserved for so long was that they were frozen, so why did this corpse that looked like it had been dead for a long time but still not decomposed?
"Shao Xuan, have you tried to control it?" asked Zhengluo. He knew that Shao Xuan could follow the example of the people of Yanling and use a similar method to control a corpse.
Shao Xuan shook his head, "I tried once on the way back, but it didn't work. However, because I was in a hurry, I had limited time to put it on it, so I didn't take it too seriously, and I tried it again after I settled the people from Gongjia's family. ”
Zhengluo also hopes that Shao Xuan can directly control this shriveled weirdo, and if they succeed, they can also have one more help.
"Do you need to send someone to stay here today?" asked Zheng Luo again.
Shao Xuan was going to take the six people from the Gongjia family to the headquarters, it was impossible to be here all the time, and when Shao Xuan left, just in case, he still had to send someone here to watch.
"Why don't I come myself?" said Zhengluo.
"No, no, I have a better fit. ”
Seeing that Shao Xuan rejected his proposal, Zhengluo was curious about who Shao Xuan said was more appropriate.
Shao Xuan opened the secret room, walked out and waited for a while. Someone came over, it was the sentry guard on the Yanhe Tower, and on that person's shoulder, there was the pterodactyl.
"Gained weight. Shao Xuan compared the appearance of the pterosaur before he left, and then looked at its appearance now, during the time he left, this pterosaur had a very good time.
Shao Xuan was already able to control the pterosaur that remained in the headquarters here, although it was not as accurate as when it was controlled at close range on the headquarters side, but it was enough for this pterosaur to obediently fly over by itself.
No matter how presumptuous this pterosaur was in front of the others in Yanjiao, now it was very honest, it looked up at Shao Xuan and then drooped, as if it didn't dare to go over.
Some time ago, as soon as Shao Xuan was not there, the distance was too far to control it, so it trembled, and every day he took the group of bitter leaf birds that had been taught crookedly to grab the food of the soldiers on patrol, and often threw fish bones at people. But on the contrary, everyone knows that this is Shao Xuan's raising, and the two retired witches also take it very seriously, and they don't dare to do anything to it when they are angry, so they can only scold it a few times. At first, it was useful, but then the words scared, not to mention the pterodactyl, and even the group of dead leaf birds ignored.
This Shao Xuan had already learned from some of the people who came to the trading area to take shifts.
"What you said is more appropriate, is it?" Zhengluo looked at the fat pterodactyl with a look of distrust, what can this only do?
"It's more appropriate than others. Shao Xuan went over, pinched his wings and carried the reluctant pterosaur into the secret room, and pointed to the cage that had been hanging in the corner for a long time and had not been used for a long time, "You sleep here tonight." (To be continued.) )
