Chapter 293: The City and the King

What catches your eye is a sea of sand. The wind-blown sand dunes stretch into the distance, and there is no vegetation in sight, and the exposed rocks of various sizes have formed various strange forms under the erosion of the wind and sand.

Shao Xuan looked at the rock above his head with a big head and a thin neck like an ET alien, and he felt like this stone was about to break and collapse.

After a half-day trek, the team rested here, just in time to use the rocks to shield themselves from the scorching sun.

At this time, if you beat an egg on the ground, it will be cooked immediately.

"Where did the man from the Mang tribe say just now?" asked Tuo.

"Fallen Leaf City. Shao Xuan said, "It's the territory of the slave owner." ”

Two days after entering the desert, the spring leaf told Shao Xuan what the destination of this trip was. Shao Xuan asked many times before, but he couldn't get a reply, only got a sentence "I'll know when the time comes", and on the way over, Shao Xuan and the three of them could clearly feel the rejection of other people, as if they were just taking them through the motions this time, and they were not arranged into the plan.

Especially the people of the Tianshan tribe, not only guarded against Shao Xuan and the others, but also with obvious hostility, often pointed arrows at Shao Xuan and the others, and the two sides almost fought several times.

People from other tribes will have elders to tell them relevant information, only the three people in Yanjiao, no one told them much, even Qu Ce and the others, who usually talked a lot with the three of them, they wanted to talk many times, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Now, it's finally revealed that you're going to a place called "Fallen Leaf City" that belongs to a certain slave owner. And people who have been keeping their mouths shut before can now reveal more things and speak more casually.

Some people in the team looked like they were on top of each other when they faced the three of Yanjiao, probably like urban intellectuals looking at the turtles in the countryside.

The concept of "city" is quite unfamiliar to the people of Yanjiao. In the knowledge they know, they only know the concept of tribes, as for the "city" is vague, if there is no Shao Xuan's explanation, Lei and Tuo are still confused.

"'City', I really want to see how it compares to the tribe. Which is bigger. By the way, Ah Xuan, they said, who is the biggest in the 'city'? 'Chief'?" asked Lei.

"No, I heard it's the 'Lord'. Tuo said.

"'Master' is called that when he is a slave, no one else is so. Ray corrected.

"It is the 'king,' and the supreme ruler of the city calls himself 'king.'" Shao Xuan said.

Judging from what Shao Xuan knew, there were many slave owners in this desert. The place where each slave owner was located with his men was called a "city", not a "tribe" as the tribe was known.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for slave owners and tribesmen to coexist peacefully, but there are always a few special places where zài exists.

Deciduous City is one of the most special cities in the desert.

In the past, the "king" of Fallen Leaf City was also a slave owner who hated the tribesmen very much. Generations have come down. The rulers of Deciduous City are changing, and so is the style of Deciduous City.

And the biggest change. It happened 20 years ago.

The former deciduous king robbed a lot of beautiful female slaves because of his lustful nature, and his sons and daughters gave birth to a bunch of them.

Originally, under normal circumstances, only the offspring born to the slave owner could inherit the powerful abilities of their parents. Because of this, many slave owners did not take the offspring born of those slaves seriously, and threw them directly into the slaves as slaves, until twenty years ago, there was a strong counterattack.

The one who counterattacked fully inherited his father's ability. And he is very talented, and he is even stronger than his father when he becomes an adult. Later, the rebel slaughtered not only his slave father, but also the slave queen, along with his half-brother who was about to inherit the throne.

The counterattacker who lost his jaw was shocked for many years, and he was now the supreme ruler of Fallen Leaf City, the master of all slaves in Fallen Leaf City, and became the King of Fallen Leaves.

When hearing this, Lei and Tuo were puzzled, probably these did not conform to their three views, in the Yanjiao tribe, even if it was competition, it could not be killed in such a bad form, let alone blood brothers, but, after all, it was someone else's family's business, besides, their leader did not find so many people to have a large number of descendants, Wu Ke looked at it.

"That deciduous king must be the best of the slave owners to the tribesmen, right? Tuo said.

"Then we'll have to go into town and see. Shao Xuan said. He didn't think that the Fallen Leaf King, who had cut down his father and his siblings, would look the other way down the tribesmen, and most likely that he would use them to fight against other slave owners. After all, a counterattack that shocked countless jaws was quite high.

"Let's go, let's head for Fallen Leaf City!" Ray said as he looked at the people who got up over there.

After the team set off again, it took two more days. Sometimes they can't find a suitable place to rest, so they just go straight to the desert. I also encountered some desert beasts that came out at night, and four people were lost in the team, dragged under the sand, and never found again.

On the fifth day of walking into the desert, the team continued to walk forward against the sun. Compared with the teams that Shao Xuan once saw, this team is the most abusive.

Scorching and dry waves of air swept across the boundless desert.

The wind is breathing, and the wind is whirlwind.

The sand is blown into dunes.

Not far away, on top of the tall hills, some grains of sand were blown up and over the ridge.

The main body of such a tall sand dune does not know how many years, maybe hundreds, thousands, maybe longer.

"Look, there's someone over there!" not just someone shouted.

Looking sideways, there was a tall hill in the distance, and on the ridge, there was a group of people walking on it, leading camels.

"Who's that? the slave of that city?"

"I can't see clearly, I don't know which city it is, but looking at the direction they are taking, it should be from Fallen Leaf City, right?" someone said.

"Don't worry, keep walking, we're almost there. An older man said.

When it comes to slaves, as long as those slaves don't take the initiative to find trouble, the people of the traveling party will not act at will, they have to save their bodies and hurry, and they don't want to spend more effort to deal with those slaves.

As he continued to walk forward, Shao Xuan found that the group was walking in the same direction as them, and the camel he was holding also began to get excited.

"Is this the same kind of thing you see?" Shao Xuan pulled the somewhat excited camel and didn't let it rush forward.

There seemed to be some other smell in the air, wafting with the wind. The camel next to him was even more excited, and seemed to want to spread its hooves and run over. Not in the direction of the group, but directly forward.

"Fallen Leaf City has arrived?" Ray also smelled other breaths in the air. Because of frequent hunting, it is very sensitive to changes in some smells.

In addition to the change in smell, there are also some sounds.

After climbing another hill, Shao Xuan saw the destination of their trip, Fallen Leaf City.

By this time, the sun had set down towards the earth's plane.

The orange sunset shone on the vast desert, and looking ahead, there were large expanses of leaves about the same color as the sunset.

Orange trees, orange sunsets, and desert cities dyed by the sunset.

It is said that the tree with the most deciduous leaves is the Sunset Tree, because the color of the leaves is similar to that of the sunset, and it never changes color throughout the year. Even, the symbol of Deciduous City is the deciduous tree.

It is said that deciduous trees live for thousands of years without dying, die for thousands of years without falling, and fall for thousands of years without dying. I've just heard about it, but I don't know what the facts are. However, as far as the eye can see, there are indeed large areas of sunset trees in the Fallen Leaf City, and the sight of these trees makes people feel cool. After walking in the desert for so many days, it is rare to see so many plants except sand and stones.

In addition to those sunset trees, there are some unknown grasses around the city, although there are not many, but they do exist zài, no wonder the camel next to them is so excited, this is aware of the food.

Standing on the top of the sand dunes and looking at Deciduous City, in addition to the trees that are the color of the setting sun, there is also a tall building.

Below the building are huge blocks of stone like a pyramid, and above are houses built.

"The highest place in Fallen Leaf City is where the king lives. An elder from the Hui tribe said. (To be continued......)
