Chapter 611: Weirdos
It can be said that the Hui tribe is the closest place to the mountain eagle, and perhaps no other tribe can see so many mountain eagles, and can also observe the growth of the mountain eagle from birth.
Shao Xuan's understanding of the mountain giant eagle is limited to what he has heard from other people, as well as the experience of raising chirps, but there are too many special features of chirps, which cannot be regarded as a normal growth history of mountain giant eagles, here, Shao Xuan can have a more comprehensive understanding of them.
Retracting his gaze, Shao Xuan no longer looked at the young eagle that was still climbing up the rock wall little by little, and walked into the cave with the leader of the tribe.
There are illuminated crystals, water moon stones, and other glowing crystals in the cave, and other objects used for lighting, without the need for torches.
Gula told Shao Xuan's intention to listen to the others, and like Gula , the Wu and the leader of the Hui tribe were also very surprised, they originally thought that Shao Xuan was here to ask for help, but unexpectedly, Shao Xuan actually came to send out an invitation.
"Before winter, when our tribe's expedition team returned, they brought back news that they had heard about the Yanjiao fleet and the Yanhe trading area. The leader of the Hui tribe recalled and said.
They didn't actually believe that Yanjiao could live well at that time, and it was not difficult for a tribe like them to establish a trading area, so when they heard the news brought back by the far-traveling team, they didn't take it to heart, and only thought it was an exaggeration, but now, since Yanjiao was able to send out an invitation to the banquet, it means that they really have the ability to hold a banquet.
In fact, at that time, the people who returned to the tribe thought about going to the people of Yanjiao before the winter and sending some supplies, after all, Yanjiao migrated again, and there was nothing, and the winter would be very difficult. It's just that the messenger ran into Yanjiao's fleet halfway, and the other side refused, only saying that they could live well, and let the people who returned to the tribe have time to go to the Yanhe trading area to play, and the map was given.
At that time, winter was approaching, and the team returning to the tribe did not pass again. And during this time, they also had something to discuss with the people of Yanjiao.
"I mentioned you this morning, thinking that I recently sent a team to follow the map you gave me to take a look, but I didn't expect you to be here. The Wu of the Hui tribe said.
Hearing this, Shao Xuan swept away a few people from the Hui tribe around him, in addition to Wu He's leader, as well as the people he knew, Gula, Heshe and others, there were also a few people from the Hui tribe that he had never seen, but he could guess from some subtle behaviors and words around him that the status of these people in the Hui tribe should not be low.
There are no telephones here. I can't tell you in advance, and Shao Xuan didn't say hello when he came, that is to say, these people didn't know that Shao Xuan was coming at this time, but these high-level leaders of the Hui tribe were all gathered together, and they were still in this "central conference room" of the Hui tribe.
"What happened?" asked Shao Xuan.
Unexpectedly, Shao Xuan realized the problem so quickly, and the Wu who returned to the tribe was stunned, and then turned his head to look at Heshe behind him.
Hersher nodded slightly. And then it fell behind, like staying here. Prevent others from entering.
"Follow me. ”
Hui tribe Wu took Shao Xuan and continued to walk into the cave, where there were many stone chambers of different sizes, some used to store things, some used to discuss things, or other purposes. Most of these stone chambers use wooden doors, except for the Yanjiao tribe, which often uses stone doors. Other tribes mostly use wooden doors and the like. As for the stone gate, is that something that ordinary people can easily push?
Until he came to one of the doors, the leader of the Hui tribe stepped forward, untied a rope from the wooden door, and pushed the door open.
Before the leader of the Hui tribe pushes the door. Shao Xuan had a very strange feeling, it didn't look like a person, but there was something similar to the power of fire, a very unfamiliar breath, different from the fire breath of other normal tribesmen, even after the people of the rain tribe and the Yu tribe fused the fire, it was not such an aura.
Even the "thieves" who fused the fire early, as well as those on the other side of the sea, are not like this.
Different tribes have different fires, and the breath of the fire is naturally different, some give people a burning feeling, such as the fire of Yanjiao, while others appear cool, such as the rain tribe and the Yu tribe.
But the breath inside is completely different from the scorching fire breath, but it is also obviously different from the coolness of the rain tribe and the Yu tribe, but with a strange gloom.
From this fire breath, Shao Xuan could be sure that he had never seen a tribesman with this kind of breath, it was simply cold and not like a living person.
Click, click, click-
The wooden door was gradually pushed open, and the smell was even more pronounced without the thick wooden door. It's not as strong as a normal person, but Shao Xuan can clearly feel it. At the same time as the smell of the anomalous fire, there was also an unpleasant stench.
The people in front of him got out of the way, and Shao Xuan saw the situation inside.
On the floor of the stone room, there is a patchwork of flat wooden planks about three meters long and two meters wide, and on top of the plank, a person is lying.
No, to be exact, it was just the outline of a person, which was clearly different from a normal person, and besides, Shao Xuan couldn't hear his breathing.
Dead person?
Shao Xuan stepped forward and approached the plank, taking a closer look at this strange person.
The "man" looked shriveled on the outside, with bare skin and many fine folds, like dried grapes.
Looking at his face again, his original appearance has become blurred because of the shrinkage of the change, and his eyes are deeply sunken, as if he has lost his eyeballs.
"This is?" Shao Xuan looked at the Wu and the others from the Hui tribe with serious faces.
"This is what we brought back when we went to the desert to explore. The Hui tribal leader said.
Because they have eagles that can fly long distances, it is more convenient for people to go back to the tribe, and last year they also heard about the changes in the desert, and they couldn't help but send people to see them, and as a result, they met some strange "people".
"At that time, we lost a lot of people, and in the end we could only bring back this one. As soon as he thought of this, the leader of the Hui tribe felt a knot in his chest, those strange people in the desert were too difficult to deal with.
"They know no pain, no fear, no life or death. But it is very cruel. The leader of the Hui tribe said.
Shao Xuan also thought of what Yang Sui once said about the desert, and those "monsters" may refer to the one lying here.
"That's how it was when you brought it back?" Shao Xuan pointed to the "person" on the wooden board and asked the leader of the Hui tribe.
"There are some changes, but that's pretty much it, except that it's starting to rot since he got it back, and it's useless to put him in an ice cave. Now it's rotting faster and faster. "The leader of the Hui tribe is distressed.
If the other warriors of Yanjiao came here, they might not have told this matter so easily, but since it was Shao Xuan, the great elder of Yanjiao, they didn't hide it.
"We've tried everything, but we can't stop it. "Every tribe has a way of storing meat, but it is useless to use it on this "man", who is still rotting, and it is rotting faster and faster. At this rate, I believe it won't be long before there is only a pile of rotten meat that can't be seen.
It's no wonder that Shao Xuan looked at this "person" and felt vague, because he had already begun to rot.
Wu Ye of the Hui tribe sighed helplessly, "Not only that, but I also felt a strange aura of fire, which was not strong, but it was real. It's just that. Compared to when he first brought it, the fire aura on his body was even weaker. ”、
Wu's perception of the aura of fire is already stronger than that of others. Even if the rest of the tribe didn't feel it, he could still detect it.
"They were made by the people of Yanling?" asked Shao Xuan.
"I guess, I can't think of anyone else who could have come up with this except the rock tomb. ”
On the desert, the only person who has the ability to make these "monsters" is Yanling.
"Now I just hope that these weirdos are not used by the rock tomb to deal with the tribesmen. "Hui tribe witch worried. The tribesmen had always treated the slave owners as class enemies. They were on guard against what the slave owners did, and they always felt that whatever the slave owners did was a threat to the tribesmen, but the slave owners had a lot of things that the tribesmen desired. For example, goldsmithing, such as some crafts.
"Maybe those were just made up by the rock tombs to deal with the people on the other side of the sea. Shao Xuan said, "The people of Yanling have a grudge against the people on the other side of the sea, and besides, in the past catastrophe, Yanling should have been prepared for it, and everything they did was to prepare for the catastrophe." ”
Since the people who returned to the tribe did not hide it from Shao Xuan, Shao Xuan also shared some information, and the people who returned to the tribe knew that half of the people in Yanjiao came from the other side of the sea, but they did not understand the grievances of some of the slave owners, and Shao Xuan could only briefly explain some of the things he knew and his own guesses.
As soon as I heard that there were more slave owners on the other side of the sea, and now the two continents were still close, as a tribesman, my first reaction was to be vigilant and highly defensive, as if I reflexively erected a thorn in my body, but when I heard Shao Xuan, it seemed that the slave owners on both sides had a grudge.
That's good, I hope the two sides can fight, it's a war between slave owners, and the tribesmen don't participate.
Very good, very good!
Thinking about it this way, the people of the tribe felt a little comforted in their hearts.
Shao Xuan stayed in the tribe for two days, and then left for the Tianshan tribe with a chatter, and treated the Tianshan tribe not so kindly, both sides were on guard, he just sent an invitation in the past, as for whether the people of the Tianshan tribe went or not, he didn't care, and the animal skin scroll that served as an "invitation" did not give the tribesmen the delicacy.
After finishing the affairs on this side of the grassland, Shao Xuan didn't delay much, he went back directly, and met a few Yanjiao warriors who were invited by several other big tribes in the central part of the way, and brought a handful by the way.
And just when Shao Xuan was thinking about those strange people in the desert and the upcoming feast in the Yanhe Trading Area, invitations were also sent out in the Yanhe area.
Although the news that Yanjiao was going to hold a feast in the Yanhe Trading Area had spread, and some of the tribes that circulated the news had learned about it, if they wanted to really enter the core location of the Yanhe Trading Area on that day, they had to have an invitation letter, otherwise, they would have to find an empty space by themselves if they didn't arrange a location. Even if you can eat and drink with an open stomach, you can't get over your face, it will damage the face of the tribe, and people who are not thick-skinned are still embarrassed.
Therefore, during this time, many tribesmen are looking forward to receiving an invitation from Yanjiao.
Somewhere in the Yanhe area, in the inconspicuous mountains, in a slit, from time to time you can see people leaning out, some looking at the sky, and some looking into the mountains and forests.
And along this slit inward, you will come to a spacious place, where the Qi tribe lives.
Except for those who went out in search of food and those who patrolled the area, most of the rest remained in the tribe, they were only a small tribe, the total population was only a few hundred, and they lived here inconspicuously, and the tribe used to live cautiously, like rats hiding in the field, and they showed their faces much less often than they washed their faces.
In previous years, on ordinary days, they had always been the principle of not going out if they could, but now, they were looking forward to receiving an invitation to let them go out of the mountain.
The trade before the winter gave them a taste of sweetness, and for the first time, the people of the Qi tribe found that they could still live so comfortably, and they could get more supplies in this way.
After turning the twentieth circle of the day in the dwelling place, Abli, the leader of the tribe, sat irritably in front of the door of the house, and broke open a dried half-arm-long oval dried fruit, and the dried and crisp shell of the fruit was easily twisted open, revealing some white dry flocculent inside, and if it was blown lightly, it could blow up many short flocculent filaments.
Pick out the white floc in the dried fruit, hold it in his hand and make a ball, then pick up a crystal that is nearly one person thick and put it on the wooden frame, and wipe the crystal little by little with the white floc that he just picked out.
The original dry white floc was wiped on some rough places on the crystal, and gradually, the white floc seemed to be soaked in water, and the originally rough places on the crystal became very smooth.
This is a method discovered by the ancestors of the Dang tribe, which has been passed down to the present, and this method is only known to the people of the Dang tribe.
In order to exchange these crystals for more materials, Abuli decided to polish these crystals more shiny and look good, maybe the people of Yanjiao can give more things?
Not only Abuli, but other people in the Tan tribe are also doing similar things, how can they not be active if they can exchange for supplies?
As he was wiping, Abli suddenly heard a shouting voice.
"Ahh
Because of the many mountains around, it sounds like it's hard to discern the direction of the sound for a while, as if there are sounds coming from all directions.
However, those who hear the shouts can easily hear the most correct direction from the echoes of these distractions.
Abuli didn't bother to wipe the crystal, threw the ball of white floc in his hand and ran in the direction where the sound came from, while the rest of the people in the Qi tribe also stopped what they were doing, lost the mood to wipe it, and looked nervously and expectantly in the direction of Abuli's departure.
After a while, Abuli laughed and rushed in, hooking vines with his big feet and swinging all the way towards the tribe, holding a beast skin roll in his hand, "That's it! That's it! Wow, it's still a fierce beast skin, a real fierce beast skin!" (To be continued.) )
