Chapter 1 [Dao Sword: Xi Ye] (2)
The brown fur that shook the trunk of the tree was an adult African male lion, whom Catherine brought home when she was a young African lion, when the lion cub nearly died under the iron hooves of the volcanic cow.
Dawen shook his huge head, shaking his head and looking really silly, like a child with limited intelligence, not having the kingly demeanor that an adult African lion should have.
Catherine squatted down and rubbed Dawen, who came over to rub her long legs, Dawen roared comfortably, fell on his back and turned his limbs to the sky, like a pet cat coquettish with its owner.
Catherine did not play with Dawen on a daily basis, and went back to her room to change into a white cloth shirt, which also had a loose cloth hat, which contrasted sharply with her dark skin, not only did not overshadow Catherine, but set off that strange chic style.
Catherine rode a sturdier white horse, with a bridle in one hand and a bow in the other, and a quiver on her back, and in an instant she changed from a gentle and lovely girl to a heroic woman.
Shouting a big text, the woman went out with a light grip on the horse's belly, followed by a brown-yellow whirlwind.
By the time Catherine and the African Lion had left the tribe, the number of horses had increased to fifteen, all but one in white, all of them were swarthy horses, followed by a dump large enough to gallop across the desert.
The group hurried towards the safe area of the Namib Desert that Catherine had just walked out.
Dawen, who has silly genes, seems to be angry with the off-road vehicle, and instead of running at the front and posing as he used to be, he yells at the off-road vehicle at the back of the team.
Catherine didn't care about the big lion, thinking about whether to bring the strange thing directly back to the tribe or send it to the sub-district research institute.
It sounds like there is only one tribe separated from the safety zone and the danger zone in the Namib Desert, but in fact, if you take a detour back and forth, the distance is not close, and it is even a bit suspicious that there is no mutant desert wolf in the safety zone, so the tribe's defense of the safety zone is just a few more alarm devices.
As the most valiant warrior of the tribe and a certain general, Nagil made several proposals to the Namib and even the Erongo district to build a walled defense line on the edge of the security zone.
The Namib sub-district is good to say that his sister Ban Naya has the decisive right to speak, and he himself has a position in the sub-district that ordinary officials cannot match, but in the Erungo district, even if he has a district chief father, the suggestions have been repeatedly rejected.
The reason for the rejection is simple: there is too much investment, and it would be a waste to allocate funds from the district to build the fortifications, which are unnecessary in any way.
For the opposition of many officials, the district magistrate Kuiwen Miaolu can still stand in the way, after all, building fortifications can ensure that the tribe is safer, but many officials have people on it, even if he also exerts his strength, in the end he only gets a result.
Speaking of this, Quiven Miulu's anger is no less than that of his son, the tribe defends the Erongo region against mutated wolves from the desert, and if he is not appreciated, he will end up with a result that makes the white-eyed wolf bite back, and no matter how good-tempered people are, a fire must grow in their hearts.
The group did not go far into the depths of the Namib Desert, but found what Catherine had found in the area that was still on the edge, which was a yellow lotus platform with half of its body inserted diagonally into the yellow sand.
Under the scorching sun, the lotus platform glows with a faint light, which is very strange, and if you are far away, you may not be able to distinguish the lotus platform that is almost integrated with the yellow sand.
Everyone dug out the yellow sand of the lotus platform, I don't know if it is because the sun is particularly poisonous, or this lotus platform is too strange, the temperature around is very high, and everyone has been sweating for a while.
Dawen circles around the lotus platform, clockwise for a while and counterclockwise for a while, making people wonder if this stupid lion will make him dizzy.
Catherine touched the complex and strange lines on the lotus platform, I don't know why, she always had an indescribable familiar feeling of this lotus platform, but she remembered that the second time she saw it, the first time was when she accidentally found it when she sneaked in.
I couldn't figure it out that she and her people had been staying in this scorching desert, and the group carried the lotus platform onto the dump of the off-road vehicle and walked towards their horses.
Catherine had just walked up to her horse, and before her hand could grasp the reins that were hanging in the air, there was a sudden hum in the dry world.
A pillar of yellow light that was identical to the light of the lotus platform descended from the sky and enveloped Catherine.
The horse on the side was frightened by the sudden arrival of the pillar of light, and ran out regardless of the flying limbs of its master.
As soon as the yellow pillar of light appeared, everyone clearly felt that the already hot temperature had risen again, and sweat almost rolled down their foreheads like a stream.
But everyone didn't care about the heat, and those who got on the horse dismounted one after another, and those who didn't get on the horse were even more vigilant to approach the pillar of light.
As they cautiously approached, the yellow light that loomed in the air shrank inward, eventually turning into a dense mass of light that rose up from the yellow pillar of light.
In the next second, when a bold clan man mustered up his courage and was about to rush forward, the pillar of light shattered, turning into a yellow point of light and slowly disappearing.
The pillar of light disappeared, and Catherine disappeared, much to everyone's surprise.
"What about people? Where did Catherine go? Some people couldn't help but ask.
A clansman who was surprised by what had just happened looked at the yellow lotus platform in the dump of the off-road vehicle: "It must be this strange thing!" ”
Among the people present, except for Catherine, the most powerful person was a burly black man, and his sweaty face was also gloomy at this time, not to mention that Catherine was the granddaughter of the patriarch, and Catherine was also very popular in the clan, and no one wanted her to have an accident.
But now, the unexpected has happened.
The man groaned for a few seconds under the gaze of many eyes, and said, "The car brings things back to the clan, you must watch it, and the others search everywhere, and you must find Catherine." ”
After saying that, he ordered one of his subordinates to notify the clan so that more people could come and help find him.
If he couldn't find Catherine, he wouldn't be able to eat and walk around, not to mention the patriarch and the divisional chief, then Nagil wouldn't be able to spare himself, and he was no match for the big guy.
The off-road vehicle left with the yellow lotus platform, and the others got on their horses one after another, and separated in groups of two to look for Catherine, and Dawen's big lion had already rushed out as soon as Catherine disappeared.
The lion, who was more worried about his master than others, roared, and the momentum he showed at this moment was still stunned, and it was simply frighteningly cold.
Sword Tomb.
A scorching yellow light crossed the dome of the dark world, bringing Catherine to a towering mountain.
Catherine's big bright eyes looked around in shock, and as far as the eye could see, there were continuous black mountains, and in the dim light when she looked up, the cracked gray-black dome could be faintly seen, and the dead silence filled the air, as if a loud roar would be drowned out in an instant.
The earth shook violently, and Catherine, who found that the light behind her had become brighter, immediately turned around and trembled.
She saw a pillar of yellow light standing in front of her, breaking through the earth above the high mountain, as if from hell, and the ancient and hotter breath emanated from the pillar of light, burning people's faces.
Without giving Catherine much time to digest the strange scene in front of her, a loud sword roar suddenly sounded, completely breaking this dark and desolate world.
The yellow halo on the pillar of light fluctuated, as if something was about to break through the pillar of light, and when Catherine inadvertently looked down, she found that her whole body lit up with the same yellow halo as the pillar of light.
The halo on the surface of the pillar of light trembled more and more violently, as if a stream of water was washing the pillar of light, and at a certain moment, the pillar of light reached its limit and could no longer support it, and suddenly exploded into countless points of light.
Subconsciously afraid of her hands in front of her, Catherine took her hands away without noticing any danger and saw a yellow light suspended in front of her.
The surface of the light cluster has a yellow halo like a liquid flowing, which echoes with the halo on his body, which is wonderful.
As far as the spirit was there, Catherine stretched out her hand and gently touched the light cluster, and the moment her finger touched the light cluster, the dazzling light burst out, and the warmth enveloped the four directions.
After a long time, the light slowly diminished, and her vision returned, and a three-foot long sword with a soft yellow light appeared in front of Catheri.
The eight-sided sword tip, the two sides of the blade are extremely sharp, the three-edged sword spine is engraved with a strange square pattern, the sword grid is round and small, the sword head is a wisp of yellow velvet grass in the shape of a fusiform, and the round sword handle is orange, printed with complex hideous lines, and has the power to burn all things.
The yellow light long sword shook slightly, and it swooped out, and before Catherine could react, the hilt was already firmly attached to her palm.
There was a slight stinging pain in her palm, and the yellow light on the hilt of the sword burned her palm, and the yellow light sword was like a greedy sucking baby, swallowing up all the blood that flowed out.
Catherine was stunned, shocked by the strange behavior of the Yellow Light Sword, and didn't know what to do for a while, this strange long sword turned out to be sucking her blood.
Just as Catherine was stunned, a solemn and majestic voice roared in her head: "[Dao Sword Xi Ye], Fire Master, Dao Sword Catalogue, Venerable Sixth." ”
The majestic voice echoed in her mind for a long time, shaking Catherine's heart.
The yellow light sword erupted with even more dazzling light.
The majestic voice sounded again at this time: "The Dao Sword chooses the master, and chaos is about to arise." ”
If it was according to Yichen's original experience, Catherine would have fallen into a coma next, but this time not only did not have a strong sense of vertigo to attack Catherine, but another voice appeared.
Unlike the majestic voice, which couldn't distinguish between men and women, it was a mellow male voice: "Pretending to be a ghost, how long will you bewitch these Dao Sword Masters?" Is it just a means of self-deception, but can you really think of yourself as the savior with peace of mind? ”
The majestic voice contained anger: "If you rebel against the way of heaven, you will surely be destroyed!" ”
This time, however, the man no longer paid attention to the words that seemed to be the will of God, but said to Catherine: "Little one, there will be a girl looking for you, cooperate, and I promise that Africa will not be ruined." ”
There was sarcasm in the tone of the majestic voice: "It's a great palace, and it also threatens ordinary people." ”
The man's mood was calm: "Being selected by [Dao Sword Xi Ye], she is not an ordinary person." You won't forget how much trouble the sixth child caused you in the first place, right? It's only been 2,000 years. ”
Catherine, who had just become the Lord of Fire, was stunned by an inexplicable force when she heard this.
