Chapter 211: Zaku

"This damn crazy woman!!"

Char shouted all the way, his hands clenched tightly, the wind whistling in his ears, and the wind in the sky poured into his mouth, making his shouts all deformed, with a hoarse taste.

Poor turtle, he originally thought that he should be regarded as a horn sè who is not afraid of heaven and earth, but after riding this flying flying carpet to the sky, he suddenly discovered a serious problem:

I was so scared that I !! poor turtle...... Fear of heights?!

He felt himself weaving through the clouds, and the wind in the sky almost swept him off the blanket several times.

This height, if you fall down, let alone smeared with dragon blood on your body, even if you smear the blood of the dragon king, it will definitely end up in pieces! And looking at the clouds below, the mountains and lush woods on the earth are slashing one by one, and the turtle has a feeling that the sky is spinning, and he already feels that what he ate last night is about to gush out of his throat, his face is pale, and he is gritting his teeth while roaring.

On the other hand, Dodora, who has always been cowardly and timid, looks a hundred times more divine than Char at this moment. The magician's face was amazed and excited, and although he was also holding the edge of the flying carpet with both hands, leaning forward and lying there, but raising his ass high, he kept shouting with joy.

"It's amazing, it's exciting, it's wonderful, it's amazing!

As the magician cheered, the turtle roared angrily, "Shut up, you guy......! !! vomit"

Finally, the turtle couldn't take it anymore and spit on Tatara's robe, rolling his eyes.

But Todora seemed to have been shocked by the wonder of flying in the air, and did not care about the old man's actions at all, but instead shouted excitedly.

"It was the most exciting experience of my life!!"

"Damn! This is the most terrible experience of Lao Tzu's life! Hell, we will all be thrown to death!!" Char yelled in despair: "Damn Merlin! Curse this terrible madwoman! She's crazy! Crazy !!!"

As soon as this sentence was shouted, Tatara next to him suddenly changed his mind and screamed, "No! Don't say such things! Don't say it!"

In the deepest part of this forest, this is perhaps one of the most mysterious and hard-to-find areas in the world.

Surrounded by dense and vast mountain forests, thousand-year-old trees, and ancient mountains, this mountain is like a huge natural barrier, blocking everything from the outside world.

Protected by this ring of barriers, are the tribes of the Zaku Tu.

There is no doubt that the Zakutu are "people". But the Zakutu themselves, as if they never admitted it—at least, they always thought they were different from the "humans" outside.

They walked in the mountains, and they were the sons and daughters of the mountains, brave and strong. Perhaps in the minds of many Byzantines, these Zakutus were more barbaric, backward, and uncivilized than the Odin. At least the Odin are still a country, but these Zaku seem to be just a group of barbarian natives who are outside civilization.

However, in the eyes of businessmen, this is not the case. Because the indigenous people of the Zakku possess almost one of the largest gold mines on the continent - if it were not for the strong enough of the Zaku people themselves, the brave warriors and the protection of the dense and vast mountains and forests around it, such a gold mine would have been coveted by mankind long ago - in fact, the coveting of the gold of the Zakku people has long been no secret, but the Byzantines could not occupy it - this mountain forest is too big! even if it were scattered into the 100,000 troops, it would seem to be just a drop of water in this green sea. The dense mountains and forests are not suitable for military warfare, and there are not only unpredictable and terrible weather, but also swamps that devour people, springs that poison people, miasma that makes people die silently, and all kinds of vicious diseases and viruses.

On top of that, this mountain is full of dangerous magical beasts.

Compared to the outside, this place is almost another world.

Hundreds of years ago, a marshal of the Byzantine Empire once said, "Conquer the Zaku tribes and get their gold? No kidding! We don't have the Jīng Spirit who can conquer the Chaos Lord, and we can't conquer the Zaku! The only difference between the two groups is that the Zaku don't have long ears and terrible archery, but they all live in the woods all the same." Gold is lovely, but we have to calculate how many troops we need to levy to fill such a large ravine in order to conquer such a large mountain! This military expenditure is enough to make the empire's finances collapse first. ”

This was undoubtedly true, and the Emperor Dìdū had clearly held the same view—even the arrogant and violent Emperor Odin had never beaten the Zaku people.

In addition to gold, the Zaku people are rich in many things that are popular all over the continent.

Their tobacco, for example, is said to have been plucked by the Zaku maidens on their healthy and smooth thighs - and for this reason, smoking Zaku cigarettes has become a rather glamorous and entertaining experience.

There are also some strange herbs made by the Zaku people and all kinds of small demonic beasts that they tame, which are all very popular with those caravans on the mainland.

Many people think that the Zaku people are just a bunch of uncivilized barbarians, but in fact, few people know that the Zaku people actually have a fairly sound social structure.

The tribe of the Zakutu is not "a bunch of barbarians living together" as one might think. In fact, in the mountains, there are more than a dozen tribes of the Zaku tribes, and the largest of them is directly led by the Great Chief, while the other smaller tribes are located in the surrounding area of the Great Chief Tribe, the Great Chief is the supreme leader of all the Zaku Tu, and there are shaman sacrifices in the Zaku, etc.

If we talk about history, the Zakutu people existed much earlier than the founding of the Byzantine Empire...... They are as close to nature as jīng spirits, as good at taming animals as the legendary druids, like dwarves as sons of mountains, and at the same time, they possess all the qualities of humans.

It's a strange group and a strange race.

In the deepest part of this mountain forest, this place is called "Wanggu". It is the largest tribe among the Zakutu people, and belongs to the main tribe under the command of the Great Chief.

The tribe's stockade was in the shape of a hexagonal edge, and although the walls of the wall, made of thick logs and rocks, looked rough, it was in fact much stronger than one might think—and an imperial general would have been amazed at the shape of the wall.

Because of the shape of the prismatic fortress, it is recognized as the shape of the most defensive fortress! And the Byzantine Empire's war civilization evolved to the appearance of prismatic fortress walls 600 years ago - and the Zakutu people built this shape of the city more than three times as long!

When the sun sets, the sun shines on the earth, the green of the forest is dyed with the last splendour, and in the afterglow, smoke rises everywhere in the Zaku tribe's stockades, and the round earthen houses that are quite distinctive rise - if you think that the Zaku natives are the kind of barbarians who light a big bonfire outside every night, and then a group of natives smear oil paint, beat drums with bones, and dance and shout around the bonfire...... Then you are wrong.

Although the current Zaku Tu people do the same, but only on grand festivals, or the birthday of the great chief.

※※※ Ah Cai stood on the wall, he held the short spear in his hand, obviously a little nervous. The tip of the spear had been sharpened with his own hands, the animal skin robe that his mother had spent three days sewing, and a pendant of animal teeth around his neck—all pryed out from the mouth of the prey he had struck with his own hands!

Young Acai was a sixteen-year-old Zaku Tu, and like most young Zaku Tu, he was robust and energetic, but at the same time simple and brave. But the young Acai still has her own troubles.

Of course, this trouble is not because he still lacks a tiger tooth on his neck - although his neighbor, Agra, who is two years older than him, has two snow-white tiger teeth on his neck, which also makes Ah Cai very envious, but he is very confident, he believes that if he encounters a tiger in the woods, he will be able to get a tooth back!

His biggest annoyance was two.

The first trouble was that, though he was sixteen years old, he was already a full-grown warrior among the Zaku Tu, and his hunting and spear skills were very good, but the people of the tribe seemed to have a habit of comparing young Acai with his valiant uncle. Since Ah Cai was ten years old, the most he heard one sentence was: "Good boy, you must be as brave as your uncle in the future." ”

Uncle is one of the top warriors of the tribe, who has done a lot for the tribe and is the idol of the young children of the Zaku, but Ah Cai is determined to surpass his brave uncle!

By the way, his uncle, whose name is "Ah Zuo".

As for the second annoyance, it is more specific...... Sixteen-year-old Acai, according to all Zaku traditions, is about to receive his chéngrén ceremony. According to the tradition of the Zakku people, every Zaku man participates in the tribal chéngrén ritual when he is sixteen years old, and this chéngrén ritual involves asking everyone to hunt a wild beast that grows in the woods, which can be a giant wolf, a monitor lizard, or whatever, and the requirement is not to kill his prey, because the prey will be tamed by himself and become everyone's first mount! Another important part of the chéngrén ritual is circumcision.

This part is the reason why Ah Cai is most worried in his heart, every time he takes a bath or pees, he looks at his own words and thinks about stabbing it with his own hands...... This fear would make him a little flustered.

He was sixteen years old, and he had already learned some things about men and women, and sometimes, when he passed by the tobacco fields, he saw the healthy Zaku girls in his clan wearing turbans and short skirts, laughing and plucking tobacco leaves, running back and forth, and his young heart gave birth to an indescribable throbbing, and an inexplicable impulse would thump in the bottom of his heart.

To cut a knife...... That must have hurt...... Ah Cai stood on the wall of the wall a little unwillingly, this was his first time as a guard, he really wanted to complete his first duty, but I don't know why, today day, he always felt uneasy, maybe he heard that his uncle, Ah Zuo will return to the tribe with a few mysterious guests in the near future, let him be too excited in his heart.

It's just that after learning the news, not everyone in the tribe was happy, at least, the face of the high priest was better than the day of yīn Shen, and in recent days, the high priest has always locked himself in the house and not come out to see people.

The sun is about to set, and by that time, Acai can finish the first day's guarding work and go home to eat.

He held the spear and looked at the sky in the distance, when suddenly something appeared in his sight and he was stunned.

In the distance of the sky, in the light of the falling rì, there seemed to be a shadow flying far away, the shadow fluttered in the sky, but the speed was extremely fast, at first Ah Cai thought that maybe it was a mountain eagle or a falcon or something, but after that thing approached quickly, the eyes of the young Zaku warrior were already round!

The most bizarre thing is that there are people on it!!

In the distance, there was a sharp howl in the sky, the shouting was very loud, and it fell into the ears, because of the interference of the wind, it was not clear, but the sound was getting louder and louder, and the shadow in the sky in the eyes was getting closer and closer, and suddenly, the flying blanket above seemed to lose control, and fell from the clouds, and slammed into the wall crookedly!

"Ah!!!!h

A black shadow almost glided past Ah Cai's head, and then hit his head on the lookout on the wall, bang, after the sound of a piece of wood breaking, the blanket fell softly, and then the two figures plopped and smashed to the ground.

It was the poor magician who fell to the ground first, and Todora screamed for the first time, and then Char's body smashed on his back, making the second scream twice as loud as the previous one.

Char barely got up, exhaled, looked left and right, and the first sentence was: "Damn! I finally survived! God testifies, this damn thing, Lao Tzu never wants to sit for the second time!"

Tadoro's tears of pain were about to fall out, and he muttered, "Master, I warned you that you can't speak ill of the great Merlin! The spell of this magic carpet is a word of praise for Lord Merlin, so I have reason to believe that if you dare to speak ill of her old man in front of this magic carpet, something unfortunate will happen." ”

"Hahahaha!" Char, who was in a good mood for the rest of his life after the catastrophe: "Anyway, we didn't fall to our death, this is great luck." ”

“...... That's because I'm underneath you. The magician muttered quietly.
