Chapter 111

Luo Di's heart was clear, the strength displayed by that vulture chief was definitely not the strength of an ordinary warrior. It's mostly magic or sorcery. It's just that the ability to "skyrocket several times and become like a giant" is something that Roddy has never heard of. Even with some kind of large-scale high-level magic or spell, it wouldn't be strange to flatten a mountain - after all, when Roddy met the Black Veil Sage Miaosi, he had personally experienced Miaosi's terrifying magic.

But...... A tribal leader of a mountain clan, a so-called "barbarian", can actually have the strength of a top grand warcist or a great magician who is only in the big 6?

Possible...... If the earth-shattering swordsmanship of Mr. Qiu, the top samurai recognized by the empire, could do the same...... But don't forget, Mr. Qiu is recognized by the Empire as the most promising master of the new generation of Sword Saint Warriors!

Although Lai Luodi heard that this vulture was the "No. 1 warrior in the mountains", most of them thought that the other party was just a role equivalent to a high-ranking warrior of the empire. The mountain people have always been in the wilderness, and most of their so-called warriors are just a little bigger, a little stronger, and a little more ferocious—in Roddy's mind, it would be good for that vulture to reach the level of the rand.

But hearing this Wu Yu's words, Luo Di's heart immediately felt like a river and a sea.

If...... If what this mountain leader said was true, that Flame Chief's strength had already reached the top level of the Big 6!

There are not many magicians left in the entire Guangming 6, and the Roland 6 in the north is the area where magic flourishes. Warlocks? It's unbelievable! Except for the high-ranking warlocks of the Empire, who all serve in the army under the leadership of the Empire, most of the other warlocks are nominally under the jurisdiction of the Religious Office...... Besides, the leader of a barbarian tribe would learn that kind of esoteric and obscure magic spells??Just those dossiers and spells written in the ancient language of the empire, Roddy doubted that the people of this barbarian tribe could read and understand!

So, the patriarch of this flame tribe is probably a warrior-type master! Could it be that he has already reached the Sword Saint level?

A "sword master" dressed in animal skins, with a bone necklace around his neck, and oil paint on his face, speaking the language of the mountain barbarians???

Rand couldn't help but whisper: "Lord Duke, these mountain people may not be able to speak accurately. If that vulture is so powerful, how can it be pierced by humans?"

Roddy nodded, and wanted to repeat the words of the Woods, and inquire about the assassination of their Patriarch, but the Woods only said that it was the conspiracy of some sinister wizards of other tribes, and that their great chieftain would definitely recover, and finally lead their Flame Tribes to sweep away many tribes...... Speaking of excitement in the middle, the chatter was mixed with some mountain language, which made Roddy confused.

After ten days of walking, in the middle of this mountain, Roddy and Rand have been completely lost. The thicker the surrounding trees became, the denser the occupation obscured the sky. Walk only with these mountain people. They turned left and right, and skilfully avoided some of the swampy pits. For those of them who are mountaineers, the mountains are as familiar as their own bedrooms. Luo Di secretly calculated in his heart, if it was himself and Rant, let alone walking out of the mountain, I was afraid that if he didn't pay attention to which swamp he fell into, his bones would be gone!

When it was evening, I walked out of a mountain road and was cheerful in front of me. I saw a low-lying flat land in front of me, with verdant grass, and a canyon in the middle of the two peaks in the distance.

The vultures smiled and said, "It's almost there! We have a mountain next to that canyon, and then we will go over that mountain and we will go home!"

The mountain warriors next to him were all in good spirits, and they couldn't help but howl excitedly, and some even turned their heads on the grass.

Roddy couldn't help but say, "Path, don't we go through that canyon?"

Wu Yu's face immediately showed a somewhat frightened expression: "I can't go! I can't go! I can't go! I can't go! I can't get out!"

"Oh?" Roddy was surprised, and couldn't help but ask, "Is there a place in this mountain where you mountain people can't go?"

Wu Yu's expression was both frightened and awe-struck, and he looked at the canyon and said: "That is a forbidden place known to all the tribes in the mountains, and no one dares to enter it! Legend has it that there are demons in there! You can't go, you can't go!"

Rand couldn't help but say loudly, "What about your chief? You said that he was a god descending from the heavens, and he didn't dare to go in?"

Wu Yu's expression was even more complicated, and he said in a low voice: "The chief has sent someone to go, but ...... None of them will come back. Once you walk into that valley, you can't get out of it again!"

After listening to Wu Yu's words, Luo Di couldn't help but take a few more glances at that canyon. I saw that in the middle of the two mountains, a sheep's intestine path was exposed at the mouth of the valley, and the path as far as the eye could see was full of bare stones, without a single grass or tree.

Unlike other places in the mountains, there was silence in that canyon, not even the birds, as if it were a dead place. At Roddy's insistent request, the group walked to the front of the canyon. Those mountain people were all terrified, and they stood far away and did not dare to enter. Roddy didn't care about that, and walked to the front of the valley with Rand.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew out of the valley, making the two of them shiver. Both of them were surprised in their hearts. The climate in the mountains was warm and humid, but the cold wind blowing from the valley was like a biting cold wind in the northwest winter. From a distance, there seemed to be a trace of mist in the distance of the trail......

"Lord Duke, it seems to be a little strange. Rand couldn't help but whisper: "You have a different identity now, you can't take risks." ”

Roddy smiled, "I'm just curious. Let's go!"

Seeing that Roddy and Rand had come back from the front of the valley, the mountain people all had relieved expressions on their faces, and they hurriedly pulled the two of them away from the side of the valley.

After walking more than a mile along the left side of the valley, I saw only a path up the mountain. The path was so secretive that if it weren't for the mountain people walking in front of him, Roddy wouldn't have been there.

I saw Wu Yu walking in the front, pushing aside a ball of dead trees, revealing a way up the mountain. Wu Yu was excited, untied a trumpet made of a small bone from his body, put it in front of his mouth and blew it.

After a while, a sharp whistling sound was heard from the mountain, and then faint footsteps were heard, and a hundred and ten mountain warriors ran down the mountain road. Most of these mountain warriors wore clothes made of animal skins, and occasionally some of them wore linen clothes that they didn't know how to weave. Each of them was barefoot, wearing a pair of straw sandals, and the short spears and weapons in their hands were very rudimentary, but they all carried a pair of bows and arrows behind them.

Luo Di didn't dare to laugh at the rudimentary weapons of these mountain people at this moment, he had fully seen the power of the mountain people when he came. Especially the bows and arrows they use, I don't know what they smeared on the arrows, that kind of arrows are so powerful that even the majestic black bears in the mountains can't resist an arrow, and after an arrow, they fall down after two or three steps of crooked staggering. Such a powerful arrow, coupled with the innate excellent archery skills of the mountain people, is really sharp!

The one hundred and ten mountain warriors who came down the mountain road casually stood in front of the mountain road, and then from behind came a tall and strong mountain man.

The mountain man was dressed in a leopard skin full of golden spots, a crown hat with feathers of various colors on his head, and a long wooden staff in his hand, and his face was painted with red oil paint like a ghost. A pair of brown eyes were looking Roddy and Rand up and down.

Wu Yu had already walked over, lowered his hands in front of the mountain man with the crown, bowed his head and said something, and his tone was very respectful. Then the mountain man nodded, raised his wooden staff in his hand, and shouted loudly, and the mountain warriors also raised their short spears and shouted loudly when they heard his shouting.

When they were quiet, Luo Di took a breath, strode up to the mountain man, and said in a deep voice, "I am the Tulip Duke of the Empire, from Purple Leaf City, and I have seen the Vulture Patriarch of the Flame Tribe!" After speaking, he stretched out his arms and hugged the mountain man with the mountain etiquette that he was about to use.

Wu Yu was on the side, but said in a low voice: "This is not our patriarch, this is the wizard elder of the clan!"

"Huh?" Luo Di was stunned for a moment and smiled, "Then I've seen the wizard elder!"

The wizard elder looked at Roddy coldly, nodded, smiled, and turned to leave. Leave Roddy on the spot. Wu Yu smiled: "You don't know, wizards can't hug people. He just raised his staff to welcome you. ”

Roddy smiled, "In that case, let's go in." ”

At the end of the mountain path was a dark cave, and at the entrance of the cave, a few mountain warriors with bows and arrows on their backs saw the wizard city bowing their heads and hanging their hands. When they saw Roddy and Rand, their eyes showed a bit of surprise and hostility. The wizard didn't speak, but led the people into the cave.

Torches were planted in the walls of the cave, the smell of burning pine resin filled the narrow hole, and there was a faint sound of dripping water in some places, and Rand looked vigilantly as he followed Roddy closely, his eyes shooting around.

After walking for about half an hour, there was a bright white flower in front of him, and Roddy looked up and saw that the cave had come to an end. He sighed in his heart, this place is really hidden, no wonder the mountain people have been hiding in the mountains for more than a hundred years, and the empire has no way to take them.

When he walked out of the cave, there was a valley in the mountains in front of him, and a dense village appeared in front of him. The walls and gates are made of giant wood, and at this moment the gates are wide open, and the mountain warriors who are standing have sounded their trumpets.

The large and small wooden houses in the village are densely gathered, and in this valley are layered on top of each other, and the mountain people come and go, both old and young, most of them are rough and simple, but they are both men and women, and everyone seems to be carrying a weapon, and even some women have a short dagger tied to their legs. Many boys and girls gathered around, but they were far away from approaching, and these people were shouting and shouting, pointing and pointing.

Luo Di took a look, and there were probably nearly thirty or forty thousand people living in the valley in front of him. As soon as the thought in his mind turned, the Wuyu next to him had already said loudly: "This valley has been inhabited by our Flame Tribe for more than a hundred years, it is shaped like a gourd, what you see now is only half of it, turn the bend in front, and the place behind it is even bigger than here." ”

When I reached the bend, sure enough, the village behind me was a little bigger than the place I had walked before. Mountain men are naturally stout with thick hands and feet. Beside him, he could only hear the clanging of a row of wooden houses, and the chimney on the roof was still emitting black smoke, and Roddy whispered, "What is that place?"

Wu Yu smiled proudly: "That's iron." There is no shortage of iron ore in our mountains, and the iron tools used in all the tribes are made by themselves, which are not worse than your weapons at all!"

Seeing a spring bubbling from the steep mountain wall, there was a small pond at the corner of the valley, where several samurai stood by the pool, and many mountain women lined up with clay pots and wooden basins in their hands to get water, and did not dare to make any confusion.

Wu Yu's tone was a little strange, and he said, "This is the water source in our village. After the chief took office, he ordered people to guard this place carefully, and the household water was queued up to retrieve it, so that people would no longer be allowed to bathe and play here. The chief is good at everything, it's just that this rule is a little weird, hehe. ”

Luo Di couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking to himself, there is such a water source in the entire valley, of course, you have to take a good look. Wouldn't it be terrible if all the drinking and bathing were here? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a good impression of the vultures I hadn't met yet, and thought that I would have to stay here for a few more days, if the water I drank was taken from the bathing pond of those mountain people covered in oil...... Luo Di couldn't help but look strange, and said: "I think you chiefs are doing the right thing, let me ask you, since the chief gave this order, has the number of sick people in your tribe been greatly reduced?"

Wu Yu stared at his eyes and said in surprise: "How do you know?"

Behind the row of wooden houses in front of me, a huge wooden platform was built, and on top of the long wooden steps, a large wooden house was built on the mountain wall, and the wooden house was much more delicate than the wooden house built, with several large flags made of animal skins on it, and several giant-like mountain warriors stood at the door with short spears in their hands.

The door was also huge, and a curtain hung on it, blocking Roddy's gaze. When Roddy gradually got closer, he realized that the jingling things on the curtain were actually large and small crystal sparkling gems!!

"This chieftain is not small, even in the imperial capital palace, the emperor's gate is only made of gold, he is a tribal chief, and he actually uses gems as a curtain......"

The mountain wizard who had walked in the front stopped and said a few words to the Woods, who turned and told Roddy, "The Wizard asks you to wait a little while he goes in to see the Chief, and then the Chief summons you." ”

Roddy nodded, and stood on the wooden platform. Rand followed closely behind him, watching warily at the mountain warriors around him with short spears in their hands.

Roddy was looking around, when he suddenly heard a surprised voice from Andy in his head: "Here...... It feels weird......"
