Chapter Forty-Six: The Valley of the Valley
The crowd trekked until the sun showed signs of slanting westward, and then they arrived at a group of mounds.
The mound here has a green that is rare in the moor, and everywhere you can see young shoots poking their heads out of the cracks in the stones, swaying slightly in the wind, and in the depths of the mound, there is even a blue pool.
It is a barren place where people are inaccessible, and I often hear that there are all kinds of strange and ferocious monsters within a radius of 100 miles, so no one dares to approach it, and I don't know that the bold daredevils have inadvertently broken in, and when they saw the appearance of a horned beast, they escaped in horror but passed the news to the ears of the major forces of the sand and stone, so that there was today's hunting trip.
Ji Ge followed the crowd and rushed in, Fiji and the others had excitement on their faces, all this was so new to them, they had been imprisoned in the ancient castle for almost a year, and at this time the young man's heart was all released.
Ji Ge also looked at Siye with some curiosity, it was very quiet here, and the tranquility made people shudder, judging from what Ji Ge had seen and heard in the wasteland for many days, the water in the wasteland was extremely scarce, and wherever there was water, it should not be so quiet, there would be a lot of bloody battles.
But there is silence everywhere here, and there is nothing on the shore of the clear water, only the occasional wind that blows in makes the pool ripple.
Under a mound in front of them, an old man sat in the shadows and held his breath, as if waiting for them.
When the masters of the major forces saw this old man, their eyes flashed with awe, and they respectfully saluted forward.
The old man opened his eyes faintly, and was in the shadows, the folds on his face seemed to be as deep as a knife and an axe, and he squinted at the crowd and asked.
"Why didn't he come, it's not like he doesn't accept the old style, hum!"
The owner of the blood mill disc changed his mind when he heard this, and immediately stepped forward before everyone could react, and answered with a humble attitude: "The city lord, his old man has something important to do, and he can't come, old headhunter, don't underestimate us juniors, I have seen the demeanor of headhunters in many of them!"
"Hmph, just you can speak! Forget it, since the old man didn't come, we're not incompetent!" Although the old headhunter scolded in his mouth, when the younger generations mentioned his heroic appearance back then, their hearts were still sweet, and sure enough, he was not old enough to make people forget his own methods.
He stood up, taller and burlier than ordinary people, and did not weaken because of old age, but exuded a fierce momentum, which was cultivated in the years with a hunting knife in his hand, which was difficult for ordinary people to reach, and even his breath was suffocated by this.
He took everyone's expressions into his eyes, and a sense of pride suddenly appeared in his heart, and he waved his hand and said loudly: "This time, it is my last hunt, and it is my hunt to harvest the mountain!"
"This time, it's bound to hunt a big guy!"
Many older people are dark-eyed, they have seen the glory of the old headhunter and the young, and now they will also witness the end of this glory, a living legend disappears.
No matter how gorgeous you are, you will eventually become a handful of loess sprinkled, and you can't help yourself.
Ji Ge didn't have such thoughts, but he felt a little pity, he was old, and his original ambition was about to be buried in the sunset, and he suddenly thought of a lot.
But there was no trace of melancholy on the face of the old headhunter, he led the masters of the various forces, and under the strong request of the masters of the various forces, he brought the black-clothed young men with Ji Ge as well.
His eyes were strange, he didn't ask much, but walked lightly to the edge of Bitan, and under his signal, everyone stepped on his footprints one by one.
The old headhunter bent down, clasped his hands together, drank a few sips, and wiped his mouth with his palms after drinking.
"How clear the water, it's so sweet, but it's been occupied by the beasts for so long......"
He stood up, looked at the blue pool in front of him, stretched out a finger, and said, "That beast must come here every evening to draw water, and when it bows its head to draw water, it is the best time for us to start." ”
"Tell me to go down, do a good rope ambush, and don't show the slightest abnormality!"
"Yes!"
"As for you, if you have some strength, follow me to the back of the mound and capture this beast!" said the old hunter as he looked at the young man who was obviously not a wastelander.
"Good!"
"Hey, hey, look how I this big guy!"
Several teenagers did not refute, they nodded excitedly, their eyes full of anticipation, they also wanted to see what the hunt was like.
The old headhunter ordered people to fill in the footprints on the ground with soil, and sent most of the men to withdraw from a mile away to see the opportunity, leaving only Ji Ge and others with less than a few dozen people to wait, and finally he carefully took out a paper bag from his arms, shook off some powder-like like soil and sprinkled it on the place where everyone stepped on, covering up the popularity, and disguised everything in the valley as quiet as before.
"All foreign beasts, there must be a bit of wisdom, I have been squatting on this big guy for a while, it is very cunning! This time it must be foolproof, if someone does not open his eyes and scares away this beast, my old man is still alive and will not give up!"
He leaped up and down on a mound by the pool, curled up in a recess, closed his eyes like a stone.
Ji Ge looked at Fei Ji and the others, without the slightest hesitation, stepped on his feet, and also went up, learning the posture of an old headhunter and hiding behind the hill.
Figi looked at Ji Ge's back and smiled, his eyes flickering as if he glanced casually among the rest of the people, and smiled even more heartily.
"Let's keep up, it's getting interesting!"
A few black clothes also drew a black line in the air and landed on the mound, quietly waiting for the prey to enter the trap.
The wind was slanting the sun, the valley was very shady, and the dry air of the afternoon was gone, and several teenagers were a little drowsy.
Ji Ge looked at the old headhunter, his brows furrowed, his chest rose and fell imperceptibly for almost a long time, as if he had lost his breath, as if he had melted into the mound body, if he hadn't seen him in front of him with his own eyes, he would definitely ignore his existence.
Ji Ge learned the rhythm of his breathing, calmed down, closed his eyes and slowly exhaled and inhaled, his body naturally shrank and relaxed, and for a long time, his body suddenly became lighter, as if he was out of his body, and had a wonderful blend with the wind.
The old headhunter's eyelids twitched, opened a slit slightly, and found Ji Ge's strange appearance among the teenagers, and couldn't help but nod, surprised by Ji Ge's comprehension, this was one of the things that he got with the old immortal in that incident, although it was just some hair, but this kid actually learned a seven, seven, eight, eight or eight just by virtue of his appearance, and he didn't cherish himself with a broom, but he just thought about the past, and then closed his eyes again.
Ji Ge felt like he had turned into a feather, and he seemed to have turned into a rock, as light as he was heavy, and even if he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to imprint everything in the valley in his heart with the wind that wandered.
His eyelids trembled slightly, and he noticed that there was a cold gaze below that seemed to be watching him, and Ji Ge's back was cold, and he smelled the slightest hint of danger.
There was a wave in his heart, and he couldn't keep it like that anymore, Ji Ge opened his eyes violently, frowned tightly, and glanced thoughtfully at the people hiding below, trying to find the source of that gaze, for a while, he shook his head, he didn't have any grudges here, if it was the group of eagle bandits, they wouldn't have seen their true faces at all, maybe it was just the first time like this, just an illusion.
Ji Ge raised his head and looked at the sky, the scorching sun had already converged on the scorching heat, gradually sinking in the west, the sky was filled with pale yellow, the clouds were plated with a layer of golden light, and the clusters were burning, and it was almost dusk.
Suddenly, the old headhunter's voice came into his ears in a low voice, a little hoarse, as if he was suppressing his murderous intent to riot.
Ji Ge turned his head to look, the old headhunter's cloudy eyes were bright and a little blazing, and the brilliance was a little dazzling.
"It's coming!"
He licked his lips and looked excited, as if this time he was hunting down the gods who were urging him to grow old, and the light was more intense than ever.
