Chapter 60: The Bitterness of the Snake Man
In the evening, a group of people led by the snake spear, came to the snake tribe gathering place snake collar, the snake collar is in a huge basin, there are no high-rise buildings, the whole snake collar is a low stone house, in the middle of the basin, there is a very huge stone house, here is the place where the snake tribe deliberates, at this moment Xiao Hei, Panhu and 100 yuan are sitting in this huge stone house, drinking the lemon tea that the snake man came up, the lemon tea is a kind of tea unique to the snake tribe, the entrance is sour, but there is also a taste. Opposite the three of them, sat the snake king Snake Village, and the five elders of the snake tribe, while the snake spear and about twenty backbones of the snake tribe sat in the back row, and all the snake people looked at Xiao Qing who was dozing in Xiao Hei's arms, their eyes were eager.
When he first arrived at the snake tribe, after the snake spear introduced Xiao Hei to his grandfather, under the stimulation of the questioning eyes of the snake man king and a group of elders, Xiao Qing changed his own body, put Xiao Hei on his back, and jumped into the sky, and the huge body of more than 60 meters long suddenly meandered over the basin, and the snake man king knelt on the ground with the elders without saying a word, kowtowed, and shouted the holy king, the great sage, and the entire snake tribe of 300,000 people, along with their king and elders, knelt on the ground, chanting the holy king, Great Sage, Xiao Qing's excited body in mid-air trembled, and flew around the basin very stylishly, not only that, Xiao Qing's head on the jade horn flashed, and he actually condensed a white cloud, Xiao Qing and Xiao Hei were looming in this cloud, and from time to time there were a few golden lights flashing in the clouds, he did this, and the following was lively, I saw where Xiao Qing flew, where the snake people were lying on the ground, kowtowing and breaking the blood, and the shouts of the Holy King and the Great Sage went straight to the sky. After two hours of trouble, Xiao Qing stopped, turned into a mini version, and fell asleep in Xiao Hei's arms, while Xiao Hei, Pan Hu, and Bai Yuan were invited to the council hall by the snake king.
The snake man king Snake Zhuang saw Xiao Hei take a sip of tea, and then looked at himself quietly, the snake village of the old rivers and lakes hurriedly lay on the ground, and after kowtowing, he said: " Lord Saint King, I know you have questions about all this, the Snake Spear kid and many snake people, what they know is also one-sided, they just know such a thing, in fact, this belongs to the real secret of the Snake Race, Saint King, you should be calm for a while, now the old man and a few elders will take you to the secret place of the Snake Man, where they should be able to give a good explanation to the Saint King and the Great Sage. Speaking of this, Snake Zhuang pointed to Panhu and Bai Yuan, "But these two little friends don't go in, just drink tea in this meeting hall." ”
After speaking, Snake Zhuang stood up, and walked towards the back of the council hall with a few elderly snake people, Xiao Hei followed them, and the group walked to the back of the council hall, turned a screen, and came to a room, this room was empty, but on the ground in the middle of the room, there was a huge stone slab, and a huge hexagonal array was carved on the stone slab, Xiao Hei could see that the array was very similar to the array on the big stone in his ring, and it was used for teleportation.
I saw six old snake people standing in a corner of the hexagonal array, biting their fingertips, dripping a few drops of blood on each corner of the array, the blood dropped to the array, only to see the six corners of the array lit up with white brilliance, and gradually spread to the entire array, after a while, the white brilliance spread in the room, the white brilliance in the center of the formation rotated to build a channel-like light belt out, Snake Zhuang took the lead into the light belt, the light flashed, he had disappeared in the room, and then several snake man elders disappeared into the room one after another, and finally Xiao Hei also walked into the light belt, Xiao Hei only felt that the eyes flickered, and then looked, has come to a valley, this valley always has a stone carved teleportation array, at this moment he is standing in the middle of this teleportation array. Not far away is a huge mountain cliff, which is extremely steep, like a knife. The sky is full of smoke, you can't see the top, and the cliff is fifty meters above the ground, is a slip of stone carving, the stone carving is indeed depicted like a monster floating in the air like a small green, on the back of the monster, there is a person, but the face of the person is blurred, can not be distinguished, and below is depicted ten thousand snakes worship the monster. Judging from the mottled situation above that has been corroded by the years, the stone carving is more than a hundred years old, at this time, the voice of the snake village came from the little black ear: "Lord Saint King, this stone carving, legend is that our snake people were carved by a prophet a hundred years ago, a hundred years ago, our snake people were forced by the orc leader, asking us to join the orc leader, otherwise we will be wiped out, in fact, Lord Saint King, you also know, how can we snake people be orcs, we are snake people, all along, we are living freely in the snake territory." At that time, our snake people were angry, and everyone said that they would not give in if they fought to the death, it was our great prophet who overdrew his vitality for decades, and divined the life of our snake people after a hundred years. This prophet passed away not long after divination, but our snake people depicted the content of his divination at that time here, and every year we snake people will organize us snake people to come to pay homage in batches, so the image of the great sage, each of us snake people is engraved in our hearts, so when we snake people see the great sage coming, it seems to see our hope. ”
"Isn't there nothing wrong with you joining the orc territory, it is said that the snake tribe is still a powerful tribe in the orc territory. Xiao Hei asked suspiciously. The snake man called Xiaoqing the great sage and called him the holy king, after seeing the stone carving, Xiao Hei no longer doubted, because the stone carving could not be fake, he admired the prophet so much, and he was able to imagine Xiaoqing's touch divination, but what Xiao Hei didn't understand was that from the words of the snake village, he felt that the snake man was in dire straits, which made Xiao Hei very incomprehensible.
Snake Zhuang and a few elders knelt on the ground with a puff, kowtowed, and cried with tears: "Lord Saint King, you don't know, on the surface, it is a very good result for us snake people to join the orc leader, because the snake people themselves are not a strong fighting race, and it can be better to have the protection of the orc leader, but Lord Saint King, you must know the purpose of the orc leader asking us to join them, so you don't think so." They want us to provide snake bile, the orc leader stipulates that our snake tribe must hand over their specified amount of bile every month, because snake bile has the effect of strengthening the body, so many dignitaries of the orc collar need it, and the orc collar takes the snake gall and human exchange food to meet the orc collar's common use, in the past, we all relied on captive snakes to meet this need, it is not enough for the orc collar will not be too urging, but then the powerful race of our snake tribe, the viper tribe, was encouraged by the orc leader Lion King, broke away from us, announced another race, and as other orc races oppressed us, we no longer have the right to speak, he became sad, and he would be killed by the orc leader at every turn. In the past ten years, as the orc collar has an increasing demand for bile, so we must be like killing chickens and taking eggs, as a result, we have fewer and fewer snakes in captivity, which can no longer be satisfied, and we have to rely on extracting the bile of the clansmen every month to meet their needs, otherwise if we lack a kilogram of bile, the orc collar will kill a thousand of our clansmen as a punishment, and after killing, we will extract their souls to sacrifice something. A few old men said this, tore off their upper clothes, revealing their skinny upper body, pointed to a scar on their waists that was about an inch long, and roared angrily: " So now we don't dare not pay enough bile, so what is lacking is extracted from ourselves, these things, we are all gathering the old people in the clan to carry out, because the children are growing up, it is impossible to extract bile, and the young and middle-aged are our main labor, so we can't be extracted, we are old and immortal, we can save them by suffering a little, and it can be regarded as making some dedication to the clansmen, but, Lord Saint King, we are really not willing to live like this. Several old people crawled and ran to Xiao Hei's feet, hugged Xiao Hei's legs and cried bitterly.
With a flash of light, Xiaoqing conjured up his own body, and his huge body burst into the air, and a thunderous roar echoed in the valley: "Roar~~ How can this be true, what is really unreasonable! What do you think of our snakes, captive pigs?!Grandma's and the Viper tribe, they don't know unity, but persecute their fellow clans, Lao Tzu must destroy them in the future! Roar~~~" The powerful momentum erupted, and the flying insects and beasts in the valley did not dare to move under the pressure of this powerful momentum, and many flying insects died directly under the powerful momentum, and the beasts were incontinent and trembling on the ground.
Xiao Hei looked at the wounds on the waists of several old people, as if he had experienced the tearing pain of extracting bile, his body trembled, and he gently picked up a few old snake people who lost their voices in pain, and his nose was sour, and said: "Get up, old man, don't call me any holy king, call me Xiao Hei, don't worry, what happened to the snake people is indeed against the peace of heaven, and Xiao Qing and I will do our best to help you." ”
"Lord Saint King, the strength of the orc leader is extremely strong, and we don't expect to be able to change this situation immediately, but we just hope that like our prophet divination, Lord Saint King and Great Sage, you can lead our snake people clan to take the road ahead, and slowly get rid of this situation of being completely fish and meat, then the snake people clan will thank the two adults for their great kindness." In the future, the snake people will be the two adults, and the will of the two adults, the snake people will not dare to obey. A few of the old snake men fell down and kowtowed.
"Okay, I promise you, get up quickly, let's go to the big rock over there, sit down and have a good discussion, okay?" Xiao Hei pointed to a slippery boulder not far away.
