Led by the old woman, Yang Ling came to a courtyard-like house. The tables and chairs www.biquge.info are basically made of tough and hard-wearing rosewood, the floor is paved with a layer of flat black sand slate, the courtyard is surrounded by low breadfruits, and the vegetable garden is planted with many colorful flowers and saplings, which are fragrant and refreshing.

"Mr. Yuri, please be seated!" the old woman smiled, the wrinkles on her face overlapping, revealing her age like the rings of an old log, "Lucy, bring the guest a glass of Hennessy!"

"Well, grandma, it's all right away!" the little girl beside the old woman responded softly, and her movements were swift, and she quickly poured a glass of fine wine from the wine jar in the corner, and brought it to Yang Ling briskly like a bird, "This is Hennessy made from herbs, flower essences and high-quality grapes from our tribe, and it tastes very good!"

A pair of tender white calves were exposed under the white dress, the long hair of the waterfall golden shawl fluttered in the wind, and the delicate face smiled with two sweet dimples. Although the girl named Lucy is only fourteen years old at most, less than the shoulders of an adult, it can be seen that this is a beautiful embryo that can fascinate people when she grows up.

"Thank you!" After smiling, Yang Ling took the Hennessy in the hand of the girl Lucy and took a sip gently. The spices are unique, like a green forest after rain, and they gather on the tip of the tongue for a long time, leaving a trace of rich fruity aroma. There is no vodka to have enough stamina, there is no rum aroma, but there is a different taste.

"It's been a long time since the tribe has had a guest, Lucy, give the guest another glass with a goblet!" Seeing Yang Ling nodding appreciatively while tasting wine, the smile on the old woman's face became even brighter, and she stood up tremblingly and took out a glass-like goblet from the cabinet. After taking a white silk scarf and wiping it, he turned around and handed it to the little girl beside him. A sneer that showed no trace flashed, and it was quickly replaced with a kind smile, which aroused Yang Ling's vigilance.

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely be confused by her smile, but as a soul wizard, Yang Ling's senses were extremely keen, and he quickly caught the sneer on the old woman's face.

Could it be that there is poison in a wine glass or silk scarf?

Confused, he didn't dare to be careless, pretended to wipe the mud on his shoes, quietly took out a few drops of life spring water from the space ring and drank it, and swallowed a few antidote pills refined by Alice that could cure all kinds of poisons. The movements were swift and stealthy, without attracting anyone's attention. Then he took the goblet handed by the little girl, and took a sip as if nothing had happened, but secretly he quickly used the protective magic power to avoid any accidents.

Sure enough, this time, there was a slight difference between the so-called fine wine and the last time. It doesn't look like anything abnormal, the color is exactly the same, and there is no difference in the smell, but after holding it in my mouth for a while, the tip of my tongue feels a little numb. If it weren't for the keen sense after advancing to the high-level god witch, I'm afraid that no matter how careful you are, you won't be able to spot this subtle difference. In shock, he silently recited the mantra of the poisonous witch, and used the magic power of the body to refine the nameless poison contained in the wine.

For a long time, although his talent in cultivating poisonous witches was far inferior to Alice's, and the time spent in this area was extremely limited, as a powerful great witch, Yang Ling was confident that it would not be difficult to refine this nameless poison. Coupled with the spring of life water and the antidote refined by Alice that he drank earlier, even if he drank the whole cup of poisonous wine, it would be no problem. Without fear, he remained silent, did not immediately expose the other party's tricks, and looked calmly, ready to see what tricks the other party was playing.

"Mr. Yuri, if I'm not mistaken, you should be the last outsider to enter our tribe in the past few decades!" Seeing that Yang Ling didn't know what to do, he drank the poisonous Hennessy in one gulp, and the old woman smiled all over her face, "Isn't it strange in your heart, why is our tribe not attacked by groundhogs, why doesn't our tribe even have a man?"

When the show came, Yang Ling took advantage of the situation and pretended to be puzzled and said: "That's right, there are too many groundhogs in the Ural Mountains, and under the madness, even the Saint-level guardian warriors around me can't stop it." There were so many groundhogs out there that I couldn't figure out why they didn't dare to come into the valley. Don't they have any interest in the sweet breadfruit of the valley?"

"Hehe, they really don't dare to come in, without the order of Mount Gellya, no one dares to approach our tribe!" Maybe it was because Yang Ling said that it hurt his feet, maybe it was because he remembered some unbearable past, the old woman gritted her teeth, "For hundreds of years, no one has dared to make trouble in our tribe, but who knows our price? Do you know how much we have paid for the inheritance of the tribe?"

Maybe it was because she thought that Yang Ling couldn't escape her control after being poisoned, or maybe she was depressed for hundreds of years and had nowhere to vent, the old woman's face changed and her true face was revealed. Gritting her teeth, her eyes are cold and ruthless, where is she still like some kind old woman, she is simply an old witch who has not died for a thousand years.

"Grandma, don't be angry, don't say any more!" Seeing that the old woman's face turned pale with anger, the young girl Lucy said as she tapped her on the back in an empathetic way. His eyes were red, and tears were rolling in his sockets, as if they could come out like a spring at any moment.

"Tomorrow is the last day, and if you don't talk about it now, maybe you will never have a chance!" said the old woman, smiling coldly.

It turned out that in order to escape the scourge of war, their ancestors moved together from the distant Draa Empire all the way south to find this hidden valley in the Ural Mountains and settle down. Relying on the abundant resources in the mountains, he lived a peaceful and stable life for two years, but unexpectedly, the good times did not last long. Within a few years of living, a group of terrible high-level groundhogs came near the tribe and captured the men who went out hunting one by one.

In the beginning, people thought it was just a pack of hungry pluckers, so they narrowed down their hunt and even made a living by growing breadfruit and various vegetables and fruits in the valley. Unexpectedly, even if the door was closed, the terrible groundhogs still came to the door. Turning a blind eye to fresh breadfruit and vegetables, he took away able-bodied young men and never attacked the women and children of the tribe. On the contrary, it also helps them block other demonic beasts that hunt in the valley.

After the same thing was repeated many times, people quickly found a pattern. Basically, these terrible high-ranking groundhogs come every other month, taking only one adult male at a time, never causing trouble in the valley, but they don't allow people to leave the valley. Whoever trespasses without permission will immediately be swarmed by a large group of groundhogs and killed alive. It was as if the crowd had become a prey in captivity for the Groundhog, and as incredible as it sounded, people became more and more sure of their guesses as time went on.

When they first moved to the valley, there were more than a thousand people in the entire tribe. However, as the number of young male surnames decreased, fewer and fewer offspring were conceived, and a cycle of evil surnames slowly formed, and the number of clansmen decreased year by year. Slowly, the targets of the high-level groundhogs expanded to all male surnames, from boys to old men with gray beards. The interval of time has also been extended from one month to two months, three months, and until a full three years. Three years later, if the tribe was unable to hand over a man's surname, the Groundhogs went on a killing spree, tearing a dozen women to pieces in public and devouring them.

"So, you are going to hand me over in exchange for three years of peace for your tribe?" Under the old woman's explanation, Yang Ling quickly understood what was going on, thinking of what she said that tomorrow would be the last day, and immediately thought of the other party's evil thoughts.

"Hehe, that's right, if you want to blame yourself, you broke in at this time!" the old woman smiled grimly and said coldly: "If it was a few decades ago, when we met a strong man like you, maybe we would have left you to have sex with the widows to see if we could have more baby boys." Now, there is no choice, even if you have a few more baby boys, you can only live a few more years! If you don't rush out while the groundhog is in turmoil, you won't have a chance again!"

For more than 100 years, the tribe has not been without resistance, and has rushed out several times despite casualties. However, each time he could not break through the siege of the Extractor Rats, he had to stay in the valley in desperation, hoping that some miracle would happen one day.

However, there was hope to survive when there were many people in the past, but now there are only more than 100 women left in the tribe, and there are no male surnames, and if you don't grit your teeth and gamble, you may never have a chance to break out. After the unprecedented heavy rain, many groundhogs lost their living burrows and stored food, and under hunger, they not only attacked the demonic beasts in the forest, but even attacked each other wildly, and the situation was chaotic. Having lived so long, the old woman understood that this was the best time for the tribe to rush out.

Originally, she was worried that she would not be able to prepare in a hurry, and she didn't know how to deal with the groundcocks that would rush to the tribe's dignitaries tomorrow, but after Yang Ling inadvertently broke into the valley, he gave her a great opportunity. As long as Yang Ling is handed over, he will have more time to prepare for rushing out.

"You've been poisoned by us, and there's no antidote, even a giant dragon can't do it. Hehe, don't struggle in vain!" said the old woman as she pulled out a bundle of tough thick vines from the corner, ready to tie up the poisoned Yang Ling.

Kill her, or just mix it up and put it in the Groundhog's base camp?

Looking at the old woman who thought that her conspiracy had succeeded, Yang Ling deliberately pretended to be powerless, and let the crystal goblet fall to the ground and fall into pieces, creating an illusion of poisoning. With sufficient preparation, the old woman's poison had no effect on him, and as long as he attacked suddenly, he was 100% sure that he would kill the other party, and even slaughter the entire tribe of the other party. The problem is that the domesticated high-level groundbath has no specific information about the Groundbath King in their memories, and if you want to quickly find the Groundbath King and domesticate it, it may be a good opportunity to plan it in front of you!
