Chapter 2 The Tribulation of the Year
"One day, the clansmen of the Shenmu tribe went out to hunt as usual, and the old patriarch Qing Haotian sat in the clan, and everything looked so ordinary.
But until the bright moon hung high, the clansmen who went out to hunt had not returned.
The old patriarch felt abnormal, because the normal hunting activities of the clansmen would not go too far, and they would usually return on the same day.
The night of the Great Wilderness is not peaceful, wild beasts are rampant, snakes and insects are rampant, and it is very dangerous. Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, the hunting team will not stay overnight.
Just as the old patriarch was about to personally lead his people out to search, a young clansman returned.
He was only 16 years old when he was part of the hunting team, and he had just completed the New Year's ceremony, and this was the first time he had gone out hunting with his people.
But at this time, he was covered in black blood, his whole body was bubbling with black gas, and he also had a broken arm, dying, and already delirious. ”
Old man Aoki said with resentment.
"However, the young clansman kept muttering words like 'Nine, Head, Snake Clan, Long Help, Life'. Although it was not clear to everyone, everyone could guess what was going on.
The old patriarch Qing Haotian was furious, and he let his son, the young patriarch who was only twenty-five years old at the time, guard the tribe, and then personally led the three hundred tribesmen to chase out in the direction in which the young clansman came. ”
Speaking of this, the old man Aoki was silent, as if he was in deep thought, and as if he remembered the painful past.
"Patriarch Grandpa, what happened later?"
It was Xiao Feng'er who broke the silence, and he looked at the old man Aoki with eyes as pure as a clear spring, as if he was not aware of the old man's abnormal emotions.
But the old man was not angry, he touched Xiao Feng'er's head, looked at the children around him, and his mood became calm. He continued.
"What happened later, no one knows. The next day, when the young patriarch led some of the clansmen to find the patriarch, the corpse of the old patriarch Qing Haotian had become cold.
It was a mountain range called 'Falling God Ridge', and it is said that there were gods there. At that time, Luoshenling had been stained red with blood, and thousands of corpses were lying on the ground, some of them were from our primeval elf clan, and some of them were from the Hydra clan, and the only thing in common was that most of the corpses were broken, and you can imagine how tragic the battle was that night.
And the body of the old patriarch Qing Haotian was not damaged, he stood on the top of the Luoshenling Peak with a long sword in his hand, looking in the direction of the Shenmu tribe, and did not fall.
It's just that the shiny wounds on his chest and his lifeless body indicate that he is dead.
Based on the situation on the battlefield, the young patriarch deduced the general situation of the matter.
The Hydra Clan and our primeval elves are natural mortal enemies, and they have been fighting since the primeval period to the present, and the Jairus tribe has also suffered a big loss in the hands of our elves because of the competition for prey and territory, but the elves at that time were too powerful, and they could only swallow their anger.
This time, in order to deal with our elf clan, the hydra clan joined forces with the Jairus clan, ambushed in the place where our elf clan often hunted, surrounded and killed our elf hunting team, and then deliberately let an elf clan go back to report the news and lure the old patriarch Chang Qing Haotian out. In the end, with the advantage of numbers, the old patriarch was forced to death. ”
When he said this, the old man Aoki could no longer calm down, and his violently heaving chest showed his angry and sad mood.
"The young patriarch has insight into the ins and outs. He found that the patriarch of the Hydra Clan might have died, and he was killed by the old patriarch Qing Haotian, at least he was seriously injured and his cultivation was half useless.
Because the old patriarch's body was standing well and was not destroyed, it means that he died of serious injuries after defeating the enemy.
The Hydra Clan underestimated the strength of the old patriarch, and although they completely wiped out more than 300 warriors of the Elven Clan, they themselves suffered heavy losses, killing and wounding thousands of people.
Obviously, this operation has been planned for a long time, so the enemy will not stop there, and will definitely encircle and suppress the elven tribe as soon as possible after killing the old patriarch, because once the elven tribe finds out that the patriarch is dead, it will definitely be prepared.
However, they did not do so, and there was no trace of the enemy around the elven tribe. This is mostly due to the fact that the combined forces of Hydra and Jairus were severely damaged in last night's battle and were unable to encircle and suppress them.
And the number of the Hydra and Jairus tribes is tens of thousands, and a few thousand dead people are not enough to affect the encirclement and suppression of the elf tribe, so most of the dead people are the patriarchs.
And the Jairus tribe is a small tribe, for the Hydra clan, their combat power can only be regarded as the icing on the cake, even if their patriarch is dead, it is impossible to shake the actions of the Hydra clan. So the one who died must have been the patriarch of the Hydra, or at least seriously injured.
The head of a clan is the most important thing, the strongest combat force of a clan, and the spiritual leader of the entire clan. The patriarch is dead or seriously injured, so naturally he can't lead the army to encircle and suppress the elf tribe.
And this is also an opportunity for the elven tribe.
At that time, the young patriarch decided decisively to lead all the combat strength of the elf clan to the Hydra tribe, he wanted to seize the opportunity to counterattack, he wanted revenge, for the dead clansmen, but also for his father, the old patriarch Qing Haotian. ”
As he spoke, Old Man Aoki calmed down instead, his eyes glittering.
However, when the elven army rushed to the Hydra tribe, they found that the Hydra tribe had disappeared and turned into a canyon more than ten miles long.
According to multiple investigations, it was found that the canyon was very similar to that caused by someone pointing it out. What kind of strength is that, as soon as it is pointed out, it will destroy a tribe. Is there really such a strong man in the Great Wilderness?"
Listening to the patriarch's previous story, the children were full of grief and indignation, and even some little girls cried. But when they heard someone point out and wipe out the entire Hydra tribe, the children were so shocked that their mouths opened in an "O" shape. But at the same time, I also felt excited and relieved, relieved because the Hydra tribe was wiped out by an unknown powerhouse, and the great revenge of the elven clan could be regarded as revenge. I was excited because I knew that there were powerful monks in this world who could wipe out a tribe with one finger. The children's faces were full of anticipation and eagerness.
"Bah, patriarch grandpa, what kind of person is the strong man who destroyed the Hydra tribe?"
Xiao Feng'er was the first to come back to her senses, blinked her big black jewel-like eyes, and asked curiously.
The other friends also looked at the patriarch Aoki, and their eyes were full of longing.
Old man Aoki looked at a pair of eager eyes, his eyes full of relief. These are good children, and they are all the hope of the future of the tribe.
"Young Patriarch, they didn't find any trace of that strong man, and they didn't know where it was. ”
Old man Aoki paused and continued, "It didn't end like that. Although the Hydra Clan was wiped out, the Jairus Clan was not worried. But there are hundreds of races in the Great Wilderness, and there are many races as powerful as the Hydra Clan, and there are even races that are more powerful than our Elf Race.
If those powerful races knew that the elven patriarch was dead, they would definitely fall into the well and eat away at the elven territory. And the elves can't be leaderless, so the young patriarch decided to elect a new patriarch.
Originally, the candidate for the new patriarch was none other than the young patriarch, who was the only son of the old patriarch, and was the most powerful of the younger generation in the tribe, and was supported by many elders.
But at that time, there were three people in the clan who were ambitious, and they were the three leaders of the hunting army - Muya, Yinyue, and Tianshi. Although their strength is not as good as that of the young patriarch, they are not far behind. It has a high prestige among the younger generation, and has the support of some elders.
But they knew that normal competition would definitely not be able to compete with the young patriarch, so they secretly united and besieged the young patriarch. It's a pity that they underestimated the strength of the young patriarch.
Under the desperate counterattack of the young patriarch, the three major commanders were seriously injured and fled. They took their supporters with them, and less than half of the people remained.
And in that battle, the young patriarch was also seriously injured and dying, although his body later recovered, but he was left with an incurable dark wound in his body. From now on, it is no longer possible to use the rainbow technique lightly. ”
Speaking of this, Aoki's mood became obviously depressed.
"Patriarch Grandpa, that young patriarch is you!"
It was Xiaolan who spoke, she was very smart, and she could see the clue from the expression of the old man Aoki.
"Alas~ yes, I am the young patriarch, and the three major leaders are the current patriarchs of the Muya tribe, the Silver Moon tribe and the Tianshi tribe. ”
Old man Aoki sighed.
"They led their supporters and established their own tribes, and I led the rest of my tribe to leave their original territory and establish our Aoki tribe here.
Since then, there have been four ancient elf tribes in the Great Wilderness. ”
Old man Aoki was silent for a while, and then continued.
"They were afraid of my strength, so they didn't continue to attack. But in that battle more than thirty years ago, I was left with dark wounds in my body, and I couldn't use rainbow magic casually, so I couldn't crusade against them. In this way, our four major tribes have been at peace with each other. ”
Speaking of this, Aoki's old words changed sharply and said:
"Do you know why I'm telling you this?"
Old man Aoki said and looked at the circle of children around him.
And the children stood up to the old man Aoki's question, and one by one's little heads shook like rattles.
"Babble, Grandpa Patriarch, when we grow up, we will definitely defeat the bad guys of the other three tribes for you. ”
Xiao Feng'er blinked and said firmly.
Old man Aoki touched Xiao Feng'er's head dotingly and smiled with satisfaction.
"I don't ask you to defeat them, it's just that grandpa is old, and you Uncle Qingteng and they are not angry, if the other three major tribes and foreign races come to attack, it will be difficult for us to get through.
Therefore, I want you to put a little pressure on you to work hard to cultivate in the future and have the strength to protect your clan as soon as possible. Grandpa, I can enjoy my old age in peace!"
Xiao Feng'er tilted her head, as if she was thinking about something, and after a while she said:
"Bah, patriarch grandpa, you won't be old, in the next hundred years, a thousand years, you will roast a mangled beef leg for me to eat!"
"Yes, grandpa, we are here!
"Grandpa, we will definitely protect the people and the tribe!"
"Okay, good! If Xiao Feng'er is a martial artist and finds an elixir for grandpa, then grandpa will be able to roast your beef leg for you all the time! You are all good boys, grandpa believes that you will definitely have good achievements! At least you won't be worse than grandpa!"
Old man Aoki laughed happily.
"Children, you all go to sleep! Tomorrow Grandpa will tell you about Hongwen!"
Old man Aoki looked at the full moon in the sky and said kindly.
When the children heard this, they all shrugged their heads and sighed, obviously not interested in the Hongwen in the mouth of the old man Aoki.
"Look at you all lamenting and sighing, you just reassured me!
"But grandpa, learning Hongwen is too boring!"
"If you're bored, you have to learn, let me sleep!"
Aoki's old man said angrily.
"Whoa, go to sleep!"
A group of children are running to their homes.
