Since the encounter with the baroness of the Santis Academy, they have not met anyone along the way, and in the blink of an eye, they have walked in peace and tranquility for more than ten days, out of the territory of the Chris Plains, the terrain in front of them has gradually become undulating, and in the extreme distance of the horizon, you can already see rolling mountains.

Early that morning, Gordon was awakened by a strange noise, then sat up and listened attentively to the movement outside.

Raymond also woke up, and he rubbed his sleepy eyes and whispered, "I said...... Gordon, let's go straight over, hurry up to Santis City, this kind of Lao Tzu is really fed up. "In order to avoid encountering the people who came to search for the Baroness and arouse suspicion, they deliberately spared a large circle, otherwise they would have arrived in the city of Santis by now.

"Shhhh

Raymond listened for a moment, then hurriedly lifted the curtain, and immediately became dumbfounded.

Hundreds of meters away, the flowing wind condensed into a giant whirlpool, which was slowly rotating around a small black dot, the speed of the wind flow was not very fast, but there was a faint sound of wind and thunder, countless gravel, branches and leaves floated in the air, and the grass buds that had just emerged in the soil were all pressed to the ground, as flat as a mirror, and it seemed that the whirlpool above had an immeasurable weight.

"How could a gifted warrior unleash such a powerful source force field?!" Raymond muttered.

"Don't bother him. Gordon whispered, "It seems that Dio has his own wonderful chances." ”

"Gordon, when he becomes a Radiant Samurai, I guess...... We're no match for him. "Raymond Dao, he has walked the same path, he knows very well that there is a huge gap between the Radiant Warrior and the Gifted Warrior, and Dio can release such a powerful source force field at the stage of the Gifted Warrior, and when Dio becomes a Radiant Warrior, the strength of the Radiant Force Field will inevitably be greatly improved, which also means that the power of the secret technique released by Dio far exceeds that of the powerhouse of the same level.

"Not necessarily. Gordon said, "Maybe then...... We've become Extreme Samurai. ”

"What are you kidding?" Raymond smiled bitterly: "It's only been more than ten days, this is already Dio's second breakthrough, he is now a sixth-order talent warrior, right? At this rate, in just over a month, he will be able to become a radiant warrior, can you break through to the third order in such a short period of time?"

Gordon was silent for a moment, slowly collapsed on the carpet, and said coldly: "Sleep!"

"What? Hit me?" said Raymond with a grin.

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you like a dumb person. Gordon closed his eyes.

It took a full hour for Dio to wake up in a state of concentration, his Mooladhara and the Chakra of True Awareness had turned pure sky blue, and with every breath, he could feel the slightest source power gathering in all directions for him, and the exhilarating feeling could not be described in words, as if there was infinite power in his body, and he wanted to look up to the sky and howl to vent the agitation in his chest.

After a few long breaths, Dio walked slowly towards the humble lodging, as if some of Vasily's ideas were not suitable for him, and the higher the rank, the more difficult it became, but he didn't feel the difficulty, but it took more time than before.

"Congratulations, Dio. Hearing Dio's footsteps, Raymond poked his head out of the carriage.

Dio smiled, in his opinion, there was nothing to congratulate on the advancement of a gifted samurai.

Gordon, Ellie, and little Angel got out of the carriage one after another, but everyone woke up, but they didn't want to affect Dio, so they kept shrinking into the carriage.

After a hasty breakfast, everyone hit the road again, this time they changed their direction, and even the most cautious Raymond couldn't help it, and asked not to go around in circles anymore, and went directly in the direction of Santis City, and the others naturally raised their hands in favor.

In the blink of an eye, at noon, just as everyone was looking for a place to rest, Gordon suddenly whispered, "What is that?"

Dio followed Gordon's gaze and found a lonely stone pillar standing in the distance, which looked very incongruous against the backdrop of the wilderness. A few people approached only to find that there was a thin and small person tied to the stone pillar, it seemed that he should have been dead for a long time, most of the muscles had rotted and fallen off, revealing the white bones of Sensen, but from other parts that were still intact, it could be seen that this corpse was still a child, at most about ten years old.

Dio frowned, is it necessary to be so cruel to a child?

"What's wrong?" Ellie felt the carriage stop, poked her head out of the carriage for some reason, and was immediately startled by the tragic scene in front of her, and hurriedly grabbed little Angel who was drilling out, and then covered Little Angel's eyes, "Baby, don't look." ”

"Let's go, isn't it just a dead man, what's there to see. Gordon looked at the sky and said impatiently.

Raymond glanced at Gordon and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and was uncharacteristically silent, until he walked out into the distance, still looking thoughtful.

As soon as Raymond didn't speak, the team suddenly fell silent, and for a while Dio was a little uncomfortable, only feeling that the world had become very quiet and comfortable, and even the sky was much bluer, of course, people who had not experienced Raymond's fatigue bombardment could not experience this taste.

"What are you thinking?" Gordon also noticed an anomaly.

"No, I have something to think about. Raymond smiled, but both Dio and Gordon could tell that he was smiling a little forcefully.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it. Gordon shrugged his shoulders and didn't go any further, perhaps more because Gordon didn't want to break the rare moment of silence.

But before they could get a mile out, several people found that another stone pillar appeared in front of them.

"Isn't there a corpse on it?" Dio felt that things were starting to get weird, there were many ways to kill people, but this kind of act of tying people to a pillar and tying them to the wilderness of corpses was something that only the uncivilized jungle tribes could do.

"I hope not. Raymond sighed.

Dio and Gordon looked at each other, and both felt that Raymond's tone was a little strange.

Soon, several people approached the stone pillar, and there was a corpse tied to it, the same death as the previous one, but the degree of decomposition was not as severe as the first one, and this corpse was also not very old.

Dio suddenly noticed a detail, that is, the stone pillar was crisscrossed with many marks, and the dents matched the iron chains used to bind the corpse, and it seemed that he must have struggled violently before he died.

"Do you know anything?" Gordon suddenly looked at Raymond.

"I've only vaguely heard of it. Raymond paused, smiled wryly and continued, "I didn't say it just now, because I was afraid that you wouldn't believe it, not to mention that even I wasn't very sure." ”

"What the hell is going on?" asked Gordon.

"When I was a child, I heard an elder mention that there was a strange tribe living near the Permafrost Glacier, and everyone was a warrior of great strength, even if the worst of them were the Awakened. Raymond said slowly as he recalled.

"No way. Gordon interrupted Raymond, although the number of awakened people is large, there is also a premise, the source force must be awakened, and the source force must be obtained, and it is impossible for everyone to meet the requirements.

"I'm not done yet. Raymond glared at Gordon dissatisfied, "What I'm saying is that in this tribe, all the people who are alive, the worst ones are also the Awakened. ”

"What does that mean?" Dio vaguely captured another layer of meaning in Raymond's words, "You mean ......"

"People who can't be awakened are dead, like this child. Raymond pointed to the corpse on the pillar, "The children of this tribe will undergo the awakening trial when they are about ten years old, and the results of the trial determine whether they can continue to live, don't you notice that these chains are not very strong?"

"They use this method to force the family name to stimulate the potential of the source force?" Gordon's face showed a bit of anger, "If you can't break through at the moment of life and death, and you can't become an awakened person, then these children will have to starve to death?"

"Freezing to death, to be exact. Raymond's face was even more ugly than Gordon's, "As I said, they live closer to the permafrost glacier. ”

Gordon was stunned, and then quickly realized that it was unreasonable, "But according to your statement, there shouldn't be such a thing here." ”

"Who knows. Raymond sighed, "Do you have a better explanation? I don't want to run into these guys with no last name, they are said to be very aggressive against strangers**." ”

"Should we take a detour?" for some reason, Dio had a very bad feeling.

"It's only a few days away from Santis City, so there's no way that tribe can invade Santis City's sphere of influence, right?" Gordon hesitated.

"Although Santis is not a first-class power group in the pan-continent, it is also very powerful, and if the people of that tribe migrate here on a large scale, it will definitely cause a war. Raymond said.

"Okay. Dio nodded helplessly.

The group walked a long way away, but fortunately they never saw a similar stone pillar again, so they gradually left the matter behind. The further you go, the more you can feel that the air is getting wetter and the ground is getting more and more planted, and it is more vibrant than the desolate Chriss Plains. This is contrary to Dio's previous understanding, the further north it goes, the drier and more desolate it should be.

Forget about the mysterious tribe, the atmosphere gradually became lively, Raymond opened the conversation box again, of course, his main opponent is Gordon, long-term habits can not be changed by saying it, with these two endless bickering, the road is not lonely, Dio smiled and listened to the side, occasionally turned around and said a few words to the little Angel in the carriage, time flies, gradually the sky is dark, and the night covers the earth.
