Chapter 241: Suspicion
After Xia Yu made up his mind, he didn't resist, and let those people escort him and go to the depths of the island. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I have been walking for a long time, bypassing a few sections of cliffs, and entering a cave, the cave is quite hidden, from the outside, there is only a small hole, but into the inside, the space is very huge, like a small basin, there are many earthen houses scattered in it, and you can see the totem warriors patrolling and guarding along the way, all shirtless, murderous.
When these people saw Xia Yu's appearance, they all glared at him angrily, revealing their hatred and vigilance towards outsiders, even women and children.
Although Xia Yu knew that the place he came from was indeed the territory of the human race, but it felt as if he had arrived at the territory of the demon race, and the hostility he felt made him feel very surprised, and at the same time he felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything, after all, they were all compatriots who fought against the demon clan, and when they arrived at someone else's territory, they should abide by their rules, Xia Yu just wanted to wait until he met the island owner, and then explain the misunderstanding clearly.
Under the hostile gaze of many people, Xia Yu finally survived, and finally came to the front of an earthen house that did not look amazing, compared with other earthen houses, this earthen house was no different, but more dilapidated.
"Could it be that this is where the island owner is?" Xia Yu was secretly a little strange. Since he is the owner of the island, it stands to reason that he should live better, after all, he is the leader, but this earthen house is really not commensurate with the identity of the island owner.
"Go in!" The person who escorted Xia Yu saw that Xia Yu was stunned, and immediately pushed him and shouted in a deep voice.
Xia Yu followed in.
The earthen house was very simple, there was no courtyard, not even a door, and it was a lobby-like space inside, and there were no other rooms. In the lobby, the furnishings are also very simple, the walls are empty, there is a piece of demon fur on the ground, and there is a roaring fire, other than that, there is nothing else.
On top of the demon fur, there sat an old man with gray hair, with a thin figure, his eyes closed, as if he was asleep, his breathing was light and long, almost inaudible, and if he didn't look closely, he was really no different from a dead man.
"This person is the owner of the island?" Xia Yu was even more surprised when he saw it, only to feel that this person was dying of old age, almost half of his feet had stepped into the coffin, and he was actually qualified for the position of the island owner, so that these people were convinced of him, it can be seen that there must be some unique skills, which should not be underestimated.
At the same time, Xia Yu also looked around at the surrounding furnishings, couldn't help but secretly shook his head, and said in his heart: "Their conditions here are really too poor, far from being comparable to Zhaoyao Mansion, they must have been chased and killed by the demon clan, and they were forced to hide here to survive!"
After everyone entered the earthen house, they all stood with their hands down, showing a very respectful look, which was very different from the face when facing Xia Yu. The crowd did not speak, but stood silently.
After half a ring, the old man sitting on the fur of the demon clan opened his eyes, raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Xia Yu, and said in a hoarse voice: "Who is he?"
The little leader said respectfully: "Back to the island master, this person is what we just caught, I don't know what the origin is, he said that he came from Zhaoyao Mansion, we think it is suspicious, so bring it for you to see!"
"Zhaoyao Mansion?" Hearing these three words, the old man's eyes widened, and his gaze turned to Xia Yu again, as if he wanted to see through the reality of the young man in front of him, "You say, you are from Zhaoyao Mansion?"
Xia Yu arched his hand and said: "Yes, the island owner, the junior Xia Yu, is indeed from Zhaoyao Mansion, there is no malice in landing on the island, it is only suitable to ask one thing!"
He was ready to tell the truth about his intentions directly in order to clear up the misunderstanding, but the island owner didn't seem to be interested in it, and his attention was still focused on the Zhaoyao Mansion.
"The Zhaoyao Mansion is the place where the Demon King Mocking Wind sits," the island lord said slowly, his tone began to seem a little cold, "You said that you came from the Zhaoyao Mansion, could it be that you were captured by the Demon Clan and escaped from there?"
Xia Yu listened, and then suddenly knew why those people before heard that he was from Zhaoyao Mansion, they would laugh loudly and ridicule, and they didn't believe it at all, it turned out that it was his own preconceived idea, thinking that the news that Zhaoyao Mansion was recaptured by the Terrans had spread all over the world, and everyone knew about it, but they didn't expect that the people on this island had been isolated from the world and secretly survived, so they didn't know the news.
"The junior didn't escape from the Zhaoyao Mansion!" Xia Yu said, "The junior is ......"
Before he finished speaking, the little leader said coldly: "Wow, you didn't escape from Zhaoyao Mansion, then you just took refuge in the demon clan, and you are a spy sent by the demon clan, right?!"
"That's it, what are you talking about with him, kill him!"
"The demon clan actually sent such a stupid spy to treat us as fools, and I'm sorry for him if we don't kill him!"
"Lord, please give the order!"
Others also scolded angrily, eager to do it immediately, Xia Yu on the spot, these people, not from the same tribe, but from different tribes, was captured by the demon clan, suffered a lot of abuse, and later under the leadership of the old man, only escaped by luck, hid on this desert island, and survived.
However, it is such a day, but it is difficult to last, not long ago, the scouts of the demon clan have discovered their whereabouts, and repeatedly sent a small team of demon soldiers to test and harass, although they were all repulsed, but everyone knows that after the test determines how strong the resistance on the island is, next, the demon clan will definitely have greater actions, with absolute superior power, launch a thunderous blow, and wipe out all the human race on the island.
Therefore, during this period of time, everyone was also panicked, and a feeling of impending disaster pressed on everyone's heart, at this time, any wind and grass was enough to make them frightened, and Xia Yu happened to be at this time, recklessly broke in, and said that it was from Zhaoyao Mansion, they just wanted to believe Xia Yu, but they couldn't do it.
The island lord saw that the crowd was excited, but he still remained calm, raised his hand slightly, and everyone's voices immediately calmed down.
"Did you take refuge in the demon clan and come to persuade you to surrender?" the island lord asked slowly.
Xia Yu said in his heart: "The more these people think about it, the more crooked they become, I better tell them the situation of Zhaoyao Mansion as soon as possible, otherwise the misunderstanding will be big!" Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and said: "Zhaoyao Mansion was taken back by the Terrans as early as a month ago, and the mocking wind was also killed, and now the Zhaoyao Mansion is the territory of the Terrans, and I am still a part of the Terrans, and I have not taken refuge in the Demon Clan, and I hope that the island master Mingjian!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately showed shock, but after the shock, they didn't believe it, Xia Yu's words not only failed to alleviate their suspicions, but also aggravated them.
"Recaptured the Zhaoyao Mansion?" everyone sneered.
"What kind of dream are you talking about?"
"Where did the Terrans get such a strong strength, how to recapture the Zhaoyao Mansion and kill the mocking wind, it's too exaggerated to lie, can you really treat us as three-year-old children?"
"That is, since the three witches died in battle, the generals of the human race have also been killed and injured, and no one has been able to confront the demon king for a long time, although the mocking wind is the weakest of the nine demon kings, but in front of the human race today, it is also equivalent to invincible, who can kill him?"
The island lord listened to Xia Yu's explanation, and he didn't believe it at all, but he didn't show it too obviously, and he didn't immediately refute Xia Yu, but just continued to ask: "You said that a month ago, the human race recaptured Zhaoyao Mansion, how did you take it back?"
Xia Yu told the process of attacking Zhaoyao Mansion in detail, but he skipped it when he encountered the ancient ruins, after all, he was able to kill the mocking wind, and the most critical place was the ancient ruins, which involved many secrets, even including Bushan, so he was reluctant to mention it.
"Huaxia Shenzhou?" After listening to this, the island owner nodded, "That's the warship built by Chi Songzi decades ago, I've heard of this, the Scarlet Moon Clan, the Youxing Clan, the Black Eagle Clan, and the Ruthless Clan, these major tribes have also survived?"
Xia Yu said: "Yes, it was the Huaxia Shenzhou that united these major tribes to finally recapture the Zhaoyao Mansion, and now they are all guarding the Zhaoyao Mansion and recuperating!"
When the island owner heard this, he couldn't help but believe a little, after all, Xia Yu told the story of the war in great detail, if it was fabricated out of thin air, it would be difficult to tell it in such detail and vividly.
The others were also silent, without sneering or interrupting Xia Yu's words.
But this does not mean that they have believed in Xia Yu, there is still the biggest doubt in their hearts.
"Who killed the mocking wind?" the island owner finally asked everyone's thoughts.
If Huaxia Shenzhou is really united with several other major tribes, then it does have the strength to attack Zhaoyao Mansion, but in this alliance, there is no one who is the opponent of Mocking Wind, which still cannot be explained.
The owner of the island is quite old, and he is also well-informed, and he has some understanding of the strength of Chi Songzi and several other major tribes, in his opinion, when Chi Songzi was young, he may be able to tie with Mock Wind, but if he wants to kill Mock Wind, it is too reluctant, not to mention that now Red Songzi has long been in his twilight years, and his strength has declined, but Mocking Wind is still a dragon spirit and a tiger, so Red Songzi is definitely not an opponent of Mocking Wind.
And the other major tribes, except for the Scarlet Moon Clan, the other three major tribes are relatively small tribes, even if it was the peak period before the Three Witches infighting, there was no strong man who could compete with the Demon King, and after that, not to mention, only the Scarlet Moon Clan can be called a big tribe.
