Chapter 14: Dried Corpses
On this day, Ka Feng invited Fifth Brother Zhang to hunt mammoths together, and a group of more than 20 people rode strong white bears and ran towards a snowy ridge.
Fifth Brother Zhang was dressed in bearskin and held a nine-tooth nail rake, and his majesty was unmatched for a while. Mei behind her was wearing a tight-fitting suit, with a meteoric iron dagger stuck in her waist, and an iron tire bow and twenty triangular arrows behind her back, with an indescribable sassy and heroic posture.
The meteoric iron weapon on Mei's body was given by Peiya, and she would never dare to accept it, because according to the tradition of the barbarians, non-kings are not allowed to use iron weapons, but Fifth Brother Zhang doesn't have so many scruples, so why use a guy who is sharpened with a bone stick?
Under the persuasion of Fifth Brother Zhang, Mei Cai happily changed into a meteoric iron weapon. Her husband has been blessed by the fire of the totem, and he will be the king of the barbarians in the future, so that his use of meteoric weapons cannot be regarded as trespassing, and after figuring this out, Mei has no scruples.
Dam and Chip each rode a white bear to support Zhang Wuge's left and right, Chip did not squint, revealing a shrewd and strong force, Dam's face was full of scratches, full of decay.
Fifth Brother Zhang asked, "Damm, what's wrong with you?" ”
Dahm said aggrievedly: "Lord Prophet, I have been practicing penance lately, maybe the voice of penance is a little louder, and it makes my wife sleep, and she scratches the wound on this head. ”
Fifth Brother Zhang said: "Since your sister-in-law doesn't like your penance, why do you still insist on it? ”
Dahm said: "Since the penance, my mind has cleared up a lot, and I can't figure out things before, but now I have a clue, and it's nothing to suffer a little." ”
Although Fifth Brother Zhang didn't know what penance was, he still recognized Qipu's spirit of courage and perseverance, nodded and said: "There is nothing difficult in the world, I am afraid of people with hearts, Damu, if you work hard like this, you will definitely achieve something in the future." ”
Dahm's face glowed with pimples with joy, and he said, "Lord Prophet, what you said is very good. Then he said to Chip: "You help me remember, there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with hearts, it really makes sense." ”
As he walked, a frost giant cried out, "Mammoth footprints! ”
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, there were huge footprints on the snow in the distance, more than a foot deep. Ka Feng drove the bear forward, took a closer look, and said: "Look at these footprints, there must be more than a dozen mammoths in this group, everyone is full of energy, hunting this group of mammoths, our tribe will not lack meat." ”
The mammoth is four meters tall, weighs more than 5,000 catties, and is covered with thick hair, making it the largest beast in the wasteland. When the Frost Giant captures a mammoth, it uses a kind of sling, which is a chain with an iron ball tied to both ends. The Frost Giant throws the rope onto the mammoth's legs, and the iron balls at both ends of the rope wrap around the mammoth's limbs by inertia, rendering it immobile.
When they found the mammoth, everyone was immediately refreshed, and they didn't care about being tired, so they followed the footprints and chased them up. After walking for a long time, when it was almost dark, in a mountain forest, the corpses of more than a dozen mammoths were found in a circle, which was extremely strange and terrifying.
Ka Feng jumped off the white bear, watching the flesh and blood of these mammoths seem to be sucked dry and turned into dried corpses, and couldn't help but blurt out, "It's black magic!" ”
Peiya's face was full of horror, and she muttered, "Could it be that the evil existence has broken through the seal of the Frost Box, is this impossible?" ”
It turns out that in the legend of the Frost Giant, black sorcery is an evil method that absorbs the essence of life, and the end of black sorcery is to become a dried corpse, and the ancestor of the giant, Ymir, defeated the evil existence and used the Frost Box to seal the black sorcery in the depths of the earth.
Fifth Brother Zhang was shocked by the huge corpse of the mammoth, and with the sense of yellow flames, he could clearly see the souls of more than a dozen mammoths roaring angrily, as if they had been tortured in unimaginable ways before they died.
The sky was getting dark, the wind was howling, and the mammoth's soul glowed with a pale green phosphorescence, gradually materializing.
"If the life used by the black witchcraft is not able to overtake the soul and make it rest, it will become an undead controlled by the black witchcraft, the same bloodthirsty slaughter." Peya felt gusts of wind swirl around the Frost Giant, and said uneasily.
Everyone actually felt something strange and turned their eyes to Fifth Brother Zhang.
Fifth Brother Zhang, a pseudo-prophet, had a solemn face, but he was actually panicked in his heart. If you want to ask him how much grain he can harvest per acre of land, he knows this, but as for what the excess is, he never knows.
Women are always more afraid of the unknown than men, Mei's face was pale, and she leaned on Fifth Brother Zhang tightly. At this time, the soul of the mammoth has condensed into an entity, turning into a green undead, with green ghost fire floating in its eyes, and all the white bears brought by the frost giant are so frightened that they are paralyzed on the snow, and some are even so frightened that they are so frightened that they don't want to stand up, no matter how their masters scold.
"Protect the Prophet!" With a loud roar, Ka Feng pulled out his iron mallet and formed a circle with the other frost giants, protecting Fifth Brother Zhang and Mei in it.
A dozen mammoth undead shook their long noses and seemed to be roaring silently, and then they all ran towards the frost giant.
"It's over!" Ka Feng closed her eyes in despair, and her heart was infinitely nostalgic for the wizard Sarus, if she was still alive, maybe there would be a way to deal with these undead.
Seeing that the mammoth undead was menacing, Fifth Brother Zhang was in a hurry, and he couldn't take care of it anymore, so he released the yellow flames at once.
The yellow flames had not eaten for a long time since they devoured the soul of a white bear, and at this time, seeing more than a dozen huge mammoth undead, they were so excited that they kept jumping, and they were suspended above Fifth Brother Zhang's head, forming a flame vortex. The undead of the mammoth seemed to be pulled by an irresistible force, and one by one they were sucked into the vortex of flames.
The flame vortex seemed to grow a little stronger with each mammoth undead it inhaled, and at the end, it spun faster and faster until it devoured all a dozen mammoth undead.
"The man with the yellow flame on his head!" Ka Feng led the people to kneel on the ground reverently, and Lucy really didn't lie to him, Fifth Brother Zhang was the prophet foreshadowed by God in the underworld.
The yellow flame was quietly suspended, and a bright yellow light enveloped Fifth Brother Zhang's whole body, and after a burst of fluttering comfort, Fifth Brother Zhang's body was strengthened again. If before he could easily defeat one adult Frost Giant, now his strength can defeat ten adult Frost Giants at the same time.
"Praise be to you! You are our eyes, our ears, our tongues, our noses, the source of all our strength! More than two dozen frost giants prayed out in unison.
The undead of more than a dozen mammoths were devoured by Fifth Brother Zhang, and the surrounding areas were suddenly calm, and the frost giant knew that the Prophet was not only infinitely powerful, but also a powerful fire magician, and the yellow flame was summoned by the Prophet. The only puzzling thing is that the legendary magicians are all weak, why is the Prophet so strong?
Mei looked at Fifth Brother Zhang's dead look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, like the expression he had when he was doing something embarrassing, wouldn't he be stupid, so she pulled Fifth Brother Zhang's arm and asked nervously, "Fifth Brother, you don't care, right?" ”
"Cool!" Fifth Brother Zhang was like an addict, and he twitched his nose fiercely. The pleasure of devouring the soul is far better than the pleasure of the bed, this feeling is like a raging tide, wave after wave, and there is no discomfort, after devouring it is refreshing, as if every cell is filled with explosive energy.
The yellow flames absorbed the soul power of more than a dozen mammoths, and changed from the size of sesame seeds to the size of soybeans, and it seemed that they were a little unsatisfied, and they looked at the two dozen frost giants eagerly. For the Yellow Flame, the soul of the beast is nothing more than coarse tea and light rice, which can fill the stomach, but it has no taste, only the human soul is the real delicacy, containing the taste that makes him intoxicated.
The flame vortex swirled violently, and the frost giants were shocked, their souls stirring, as if in the next moment, they were about to break out of their bodies, and then they would be devoured and merge with the great yellow flames.
"Don't mess around!" Fifth Brother Zhang let out a low snort, and the yellow flame shrank into a dot, and finally disappeared into the center of his eyebrows.
The Frost Giant was relieved and hurriedly got up from the ground, and Damm grinned, "Lord Prophet, I was really scared to death just now, if the flames swirl a few more times, maybe I would be scared to pee, it must be the magic you summoned?" It's terrifying, can you teach me this magic too, if I learn it, it will be much easier to start a fire in the future. ”
Ka Feng stopped Dam's noise, and said with a pout: "Lord Prophet, you are really low-key, you have such a powerful magic, and you were still competing with me at the beginning, this is really ......" What Ka Feng actually wants to say is that you are competing with me, isn't this playing with me? It's like a strong guy and a baby racing to pee and see who pees far.
Fifth Brother Zhang asked, "What is the black witchcraft you just mentioned?" ”
Peya said: "It is said that a long time ago, the youngest son of the giant Ymir was bewitched by the dark power to create a dark ring, after Thoru wore the ring, he had the dark sorcery that devoured the essence of life, and Ymir spent a lot of effort to defeat Thoru and seal him in the Frost Box, our frost giants are actually the descendants of the guardians who guard the seal. But after infinite years, we don't know where the seal of the Frost Box is. ”
Fifth Brother Zhang looked at the dried corpse of the mammoth and said: "These mammoths add up to tens of thousands of catties of meat, enough for a hundred people to eat for half a year, and the black witchcraft will be sucked dry all at once, it's really fucking selfish, and I'm not afraid of bursting my belly." I hate eating alone the most in my life, this is the corner of digging a big pot of rice, if I meet someone who uses black magic, I will definitely let him taste the iron fist of the people's dictatorship! ”
That night, everyone slept in the snow, and Ka Feng did not let Damu be on duty this time, and personally guarded in front of Zhang Wuge's tent, which made Damu unwilling, saying that his uncle Ka Feng did not believe him.
