2. The Heavenly Punishment of the Scarlet Leaf Forest Chapter 60 The Rebellion of the Clan
"Oh my God, what is this?" The scout corps on Rhino Peak couldn't help but shout when they saw the huge tortoiseshell beast carcass on the cart from a distance.
The Damm siblings shrugged their shoulders and said they didn't want to speak, but a few talkative soldiers gathered around to brag. Some say that the brothers and sisters of Damm are strong in martial arts, some say that the army is in strict formation, and some people say that the newly arrived Korsun people fought for their lives.
In line with the basic principle that bragging cannot be eaten, the craftsmen quickly plunged into the construction work, laying foundations, building cranes, and collecting materials. Rowling and a few craftsmen plan to dismember the tortoiseshell.
"What's the use of that monster corpse?" Achai asked, "Would you have eaten dinner that night?" ”
Rowling touched her double ponytail, "Dinner?" Probably. I just had a bold idea. ”
Bold ideas?
Craftsmen cut through the shell little by little along the cracks in the shell, and finally saw its unique internal organs. An organ like a stomach pouch containing several large round stones, but the gastric juice was sticky and foul-smelling.
Rowling smiled wryly: "It seems that if you want to replace cement with this liquid, you still need to improve the smell."
The craftsmen cut off several long bones of symmetrical size. Curiously, long bones in general are mostly hard, and only cartilage occurs at the junctions between the bones. But these long bones of tortoiseshells are similar in shape, and they are long and tough.
"It's the bone of the tortoiseshell to protect its internal organs, a bit like a human rib." "Tortoiseshells also breathe and devour. The internal organs also become larger, so this bone is tough. It is a good material for making bows. ”
"Then why don't you use it?" The craftsmen asked.
Ah Chai stretched out his hand and gestured, these bones were longer than his arm span, it was too inconvenient to use as a hunting bow: "This is only used by people from the Martial Fighting Sect in battle." ”
"What is the Martial Fighting Sect?" Rowling was curious, "Another tribe?" ”
"There are three elders of the Korsun tribe, each of whom leads a clan. The one who was defeated by the princess was Ramon, the elder of the Voodoo Sect. In addition, there is the Beast Exorcism Sect Elder Una, who is good at controlling magical beasts, and the martial arts elder Peigu, who is good at fighting. Ah Chai picked up a bone, "The Martial Fighting Sect doesn't use steel forks and blow arrows, they use this bone to make a large war bow, and the blade tied to the two ends can be slashed. However, the people of the Martial Fighting Sect are very mysterious, they only protect the elders at the altar, and we rarely see them. ”
"That's interesting information." Rowling took out a small notebook and wrote it down.
The craftsmen threw the bones to the ground, "Then these things are lost first?" ”
"No, no, no," Rowling smiled mysteriously, "Lydia once asked me to build something, but I couldn't find the right material, and these bones were an unexpected surprise. ”
As the dissection continued, some bones and teeth were dug up, washed, and piled aside. After shaving off the internal organs, they found that there were not many edible parts of this demonic beast, and there was very little leather, and the quality of the soul stone was extremely ordinary. However, after research, it was found that the abdominal armor was different from the whole dorsal armor, which was made of several pieces of hard shell.
"Perfect shield material." Rowling hurriedly jotted down her findings.
And the back armor was too hard to cut, Rowling drilled in and looked at it and came out with a little disappointment, "Alas, it's too big, I still want to use it as a bathtub." ”
Just when Achai thought that Rowling was just looking for a bath tool, she suddenly smiled meaningfully: "I have another good idea." Tortoiseshell beasts are truly treasure monsters! ”
The group of Korsun prisoners of war finally returned to the tomb of Korsun after a long journey of several days, reporting the defeat and the capture of the chief.
Martial Fighting Sect Elder Peigu and Beast Exorcism Sect Elder Una heard that the villages that had been slaughtered by their "Ritual of Conquest" were all openly rebelled against them, and they gritted their teeth and scolded their subordinates for being rice buckets.
The initial failed sneak attack had already disgraced the Elders, but fortunately it was the raider's own actions, and the general's incompetence could be blamed. Now, after praying for blessings, Elder Ramon of the Voodoo Sect personally set out on the expedition, and not only lost the battle, but was also captured alive by life.
The two elders were so angry that they ordered the prisoners of war to be hung from a tree and whipped for three days and three nights, until they were killed alive before they were pardoned.
The two chiefs walked away, and the dying Korsun people were taken back to the cave by relatives and friends to recuperate, while those who could not find a friend to save their lives could only lie down at the altar and wait for death.
In the cold moonlight, the Kolsun men lay on the ground and let out a faint moan. It was drizzling at night, and their bodies were getting colder and colder, and their consciousness was getting more and more blurred.
There was no sign of anyone around, and just when they thought they were about to die tonight, a figure draped in leaves crept through the stone pile behind the altar, and it turned out to be the female warrior Mira.
She looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that there was no one else, she whispered, "Hurry up." ”
More figures flashed from behind the stone pile, it was her younger brother with a few servants. They removed several Karachi leaves from their backs, which were often used as quilt covers and as stretchers to carry the wounded. I saw that they carried the wounded man up to the leaves, and then dragged the leaves with vines and quietly left.
It wasn't until they returned to the cave that Mira's brother reminded her that although they still had a surplus of prey in their possession, it was a waste to feed the wounded who they didn't know very well.
"You can't give up on the weak," Mira continued to bandage the wounded in her hand, "do you remember Elder Walker?" ”
The younger brother's face suddenly changed drastically: "Sister, this name is a big taboo!" ”
"No, he's the real Elder." Mira turned her face to glare at him, "He is the one who saved us and united the Korsun tribe; It was he who taught us how to control the beasts so that we could live better. ”
The younger brother slowly lowered his head, "But sister, he's dead." ”
Mira looked at the cold moon in the night sky, "I thought he was the only one in the world who would protect us, but I didn't expect that there were people who were willing to fight for others. ”
She remembered the crimson greatsword, and the firm voice: "My flame will burn all the evil in the world!" ”。
Unbeknownst to her, a thought would kill her soon after.
The clansmen were whipped and the tributes were enjoyed, but the anger of the elders of the two sects did not subside.
In a fit of rage, the Beast Exorcism Sect Elder Una returned to the cave and ordered the two thousand Beast Exorcists in the clan, in addition to the more than 1,000 small Demon Beasts of the Demon Wolf and Demon Tiger, there were also more than 20 large Demon Beasts such as the Fierce Claw Beast.
After preparing the materials for the crusade within three days, he personally presided over the sacrificial ceremony and prayed for the blessings of the tribe.
Naturally, a large amount of food is needed for the sacrifice and blessing, and the previous prayer almost exhausted the food in the tribal warehouse. Elder Una simply ordered his people to go to each household and forcibly collect sacrifices.
There is not much food for the prey in each household in the poor tribe, and many people have been unable to open the pot after several searches. Most of the strong men and women in the clan were transferred to fight, and only some of the old and sick were left wailing in the cave.
The recruiters who had been crying for a long time were naturally very unhappy, anyway, the god Baham was never picky eaters, and simply threw these old, weak, sick and disabled people into the tomb as sacrifices.
For a while, the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howls around the entire altar was endless, and the gusts of yin wind made people shudder. And Elder Una turned a deaf ear, and only raised the armor after the sacrifice was successful, and led the clan troops to the Red Pavilion camp.
