Chapter 389: Pride and Prejudice (Part II)

As if to confirm Tang Jie's words, an indigenous man ran quickly towards the stone cave, pointed to the outside of the city, and shouted: "Refugees, a large number of refugees are pouring into the city!"

The tribal leaders shook for a while, and those who couldn't bear it immediately stood in front of the stone platform and looked at it with anticipation.

I saw a group of refugees pouring into the city at the city gate, crying loudly, and the city gate was chaotic for a while.

Tang Jie also twisted his head to look in the direction of the city gate, and said with a sneer: "This is just the beginning!"

A sharp light flashed in Harut's eyes, and he said to Tang Jie in a deep voice: "People from the outer continent, what you said is true?"

Tang Jie pointed to the refugees at the city gate and said, "You can go and ask them, presumably their answers are more reliable than mine, a foreigner?"

Harut slowly walked down the stone platform and came to Tang Jie: "Okay, people from other continents, even if what you said is true, then you came here thousands of miles away to tell us the news, what is it for?"

Tang Jie pointed to Tobul Mei next to him and said, "Do you think I want to come? It's not because she begged me that I came to this ghost place, who knew that you were so hospitable, and you actually entertained me with spears and swords!"

Harut nodded noncommittally, and he turned to look at Tobulme: "You are from the Holy Mountain?"

"Farther than the Holy Mountain," Tobulme said. ”

Van Dior suddenly shouted and asked, "It will take at least two months to walk from the Holy Mountain to here, but you say that you will arrive in a few days, how is this possible!"

In a rare gesture with Van Dior in a trench, Uurul pointed to the natives who had endured so much hardship and shouted, "They are traitors, spies of Aden!

The influx of refugees in the city had already made the surrounding guards feel tense, and at this time, when they heard the voice of the high priest of the Zap tribe shouting, dozens of tribal warriors immediately surrounded them, and the swords and swords were in chaos.

Tobulme and the others were shocked, and wanted to resist for a while, but they were surrounded by water, so they had to look at these murderous guards back to back, and Tobulme said loudly: "We came by water, and we went down the Brobennicol River from north to south, so we arrived in a few days!"

Van Dior sneered: "Along the Brobennicol River from north to south? Are you dreaming of it? Do you know how dangerous this river is? How is it possible to float all the way down from north to south?"

Tang Jie had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on Fan Dior, ready to rise up and take this arrogant guy full of prejudice and hostility as his hostage.

But as soon as Tang Jie was about to turn this kind of thought into a heartbeat, his back shrugged slightly, and he saw Harut stretch out his hand to stop him, and said in a low voice: "If you take this step, then what awaits you will be extremely terrible consequences." ”

Tang Jie sneered: "If I don't take this step, isn't it terrible?"

Harut shook his head very slightly: "How many people can you kill here? one, two, ten, a hundred? Violence is not the solution to the problem, trust me, don't resist." Van Dio wants to arrest you, rightly because you have taken his son hostage, but he wants to kill you, but he can't, because this is not yet a place where the Zap tribe is dominant. Don't give him reasons and excuses to kill you, don't do it. ”

Tang Jie narrowed his eyes slightly: "Being slandered as a spy of Aden, this reason is not enough to die a hundred times?"

The corners of Harut's mouth drooped slightly: "I said it, this is not Van Dior's word, I will help you clear your name." ”

Tang Jie took a deep breath and stared at Harut with blazing eyes: "Why should I believe you?"

A smile appeared at the corner of Harut's mouth: "I have my reasons, but you must first believe me, young man!"

Tang Jie looked at Harut, the old man's eyes were deep and wise, and he nodded slowly: "Okay, I believe in you." ”

As he spoke, he slowly lowered the spear that was pointed at the vital point of Umar's back.

Umar just felt a loosening of his back, glanced back in surprise, and then took a tentative step forward, seeing that Tang Jie did not react, he immediately ran to Fan Dior's side, and then stared at Tang Jie with an extremely hateful and vicious gaze.

Harut and Tang Jie were talking very quickly and in low voices, coupled with the chaos around them, Tobulme defended loudly, so that no one around them noticed the whispered conversation between the two people.

Harut opened his arms and shouted, "Quiet, fellow citizens!"

His voice was broad and loud, majestic and magnetic, and it immediately silenced the rioters on the field, and their eyes looked at him in unison.

Harut turned his head and looked at the patriarch of the Clay tribe, Habenmore, who was an extremely short and skinny old man, although the Clay tribe he led was not the most powerful of the four tribes, but he had an excellent personal relationship with the high priest Harut, which made the entire tribe extremely united, so he was able to have a loud voice among the four tribes.

Habenmoore saw Harut's eyes, the two seemed to be able to communicate with eye contact, and in just a moment, Habenmore understood what Harut wanted to express, he nodded, and then stood up and said loudly: "Let's put these things aside first, and let us deal with those compatriots who have come thousands of miles to join us!"

The patriarch of the Touman tribe, Digenhas, said loudly, "I agree with this wise decision!"

The patriarch of the Touman tribe spoke, and the high priest Naziya also said, "I agree!"

Shwana, the patriarch of the Aphili tribe, was closer to Fan Dio of the Zap tribe, he looked at Fan Dio but saw his eyes staring at Tang Jie viciously, and immediately understood, he pointed to Tang Jie and his party, and said loudly: "Is there anything more important than dealing with and punishing these spies?"

Natalie, the high priest of the Afili tribe, and Doala, the witch doctor, looked at each other and frowned, obviously opposing the patriarch's words, but they did not open their mouths to intensify the conflict, but chose to remain silent.

Someone picked the head, Fan Dior naturally would not let go of this opportunity, he pointed at Tang Jie and the others and said with a cruel smile: "Cut off their heads and hang them on the city wall, let Aden know that the Tribal Federation will never give in!"

Harut immediately raised his arms and shouted loudly: "The brave and wise goddess Mavi is above, it is too early to judge whether they are spies or not, we should deal with the riots brought by the refugees in the city first! If we kill our compatriots by mistake, not only Aden will laugh at us, but also the goddess Mavi will laugh at our stupidity and impulsiveness!"

As he spoke, Harut turned around and looked at Vandio: "Wise Patriarch Van Dior, you should keep your eyes open, don't let anger and impulsiveness make it short-sighted, our enemy is Aden, even if they are spies, we should imprison them first, and then deal with them when the truth is clarified!"

Van Dior's eyes narrowed into a line, like a beast examining its prey, he took a few deep breaths of anger, and then exchanged a look with the high priest Uurul, raised his head, and said coldly: "You are right, wise high priest Harut, just do as you say! Guards, lock them up first!"

The guards who were eyeing each other immediately rushed forward, while Dadama and Tobulme and others were staring at Tang Jie with their eyes, as long as this man made a move, they would also start to resist.

But they saw that Tang Jie didn't move at all, and let the warrior put the weapon on his neck, and at this moment, everyone's morale fell to the extreme, and Saiya and the others also put down the weapons in their hands and were captured.

"Take them into the altar cage of the temple!" Fan Dior looked at Tang Jie and the others coldly, then pointed at Tang Jie with his finger and said, "I will give him special treatment and throw him into the water prison!"

As soon as a flash of anger flashed in Tang Jie's eyes, he heard Harut whisper: "Don't be impulsive, young man, be patient, be patient! I'll give you the answer!"

Tang Jie took a deep breath and swallowed this evil breath into his chest, and then slowly walked towards the stone cave under the escort of the guards.

Walking into the swarthy stone cave, Tang Jie feels as if he is in an eerie underground palace, this corridor can accommodate four people in parallel, and the stone walls are made of huge stone blocks, on which are painted all kinds of exquisite patterns, most of them are flowers, birds, beasts, and images of the goddess Mavi.

After walking about fifty meters inside, the surroundings suddenly opened up, Tang Jie was surprised and shocked to find that he was in a huge room, at a glance, it was more than twenty meters high, and the huge statue that occupied the height of the entire room at the end was as small as a thumb!

This room looks like it was built hollowing out the belly of a mountain!

Not to mention Tang Jie, even the natives of the Southern Continent, Tobul Mei and Dadama and the others had never seen such an amazing temple, they were all dumbfounded, and they looked around one after another.

"Let's go!" The soldier behind him poked Tang Jie's back with a spear, poking out a bloody hole.

Tang Jie gritted his teeth and walked towards the stairs in front of him.

It is an extremely long and rather spacious stone staircase, which extends downwards one step at a time, and on either side of the stone steps are various idols of gods, inlaid with all kinds of precious stones, shining brightly, and there is a light shining from above in the huge room, apparently the natives have chiseled through the top of the hill to let the light leak out, and then a huge golden mirror is placed in the place where the light shines, and this mirror is placed at a specific angle, transmitting the light to another corner, and then transmitting the light to every corner of the cave through another mirror。

Around these mirrors, there are piles of glittering gold objects of all kinds, which are exquisitely crafted and wonderful, and any one of them is a priceless treasure.

Tang Jie swept away, and was suddenly pierced by these glittering gold artifacts and couldn't open his eyes, he unconsciously squinted, his eyes swept around, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his eyes.

He was shocked to find that in this mountain of gold, there was a brown wooden box lying quietly in it, revealing a corner.

Even if it was just a small corner, Tang Jie still recognized that this box was exactly the same as the treasure chest he had found on Alcatraz Island and Mozambique before!

It is the treasure chest where the Pirate King Athos keeps his treasures!
