Chapter 14: The Wasteland
The lizard-like demon beast was indeed scared and nervous, and it didn't dare to let go of the battle. They later found that there were twelve eggs neatly stacked in the ground of the stone nest.
Seeing how strange this lizard-like demon beast really was, and seeing these eggs, Cheng Bang and Ye Yichen were a little moved. Although the combat power of this demon beast is really a little too pit, it can basically be regarded as completely unbeatable, but with this hidden ability, it is a very good auxiliary demon beast. How is this possible? But after all, the lives of monsters are not something that anyone can play. rashly get these demon beasts back, whether they can survive is a matter of words. Moreover, the lizard-like guy in front of him had tears shining in his eyes, which really made Cheng Bang and Ye Yichen unable to do this.
"Forget it, I'll talk about it when I have a chance to meet it. Cheng Bang thought about it and said. "However, this shouldn't be considered a threat, why is it that Dabai Xiaobai, and Yangyang was on guard like that just now?"
"Could it be that there are other demon beasts?" Ye Yichen asked rhetorically.
"Other demon beasts?" Cheng Bang glanced at the big discolored lizard in front of him, and said, "Other demon beasts shouldn't be more wasteful than this one, right? β
Ariel Ye's brows tightened, and he said, "Is that someone watching?"
Cheng Bang snorted and said, "I'm afraid that's it." β
This is the only plausible explanation. Cheng Bang swept around again. Although he couldn't see anything, he was sure that someone, or something, must be watching from a distance at the moment. They were the head snakes here, and perhaps for all sorts of reasons he couldn't have imagined, they were stranded in the gorge, and it was hard to say whether they were friends or foes. However, Cheng Bang was not afraid of this unknown, and this faint existence aroused his great interest.
"Friend, whether you are listening or not, Chengbang is polite here. We are here for the Windward Gorge, and the Black Wind Village on the other side of the estuary will be ours sooner or later. Sooner or later, I'll leave a sentence for me first: be a friend or an enemy, whatever, but at least I'm not an unreasonable person. When you figure it out, feel free to come to me and report my name. β
Cheng Bang suddenly used his spiritual energy to expand these words countless times, and pushed them in all directions. If it is in the mountains, it can be spread for more than ten miles. In the Windward Gorge, because of the unique topography, it may even spread farther. Moreover, it is ensured that everyone can hear it clearly in this range. As soon as he finished speaking, Da Bai and Xiao Bai immediately let out a long howl in tacit understanding, adding a mighty footnote to Cheng Bang's words.
"Anyone?" asked Ariel Ye.
"I don't know where to hide, but there should be someone. Cheng Bang replied. "Whatever he does, at least no one will bother us today. β
After a short pause, they set out on their way home. After they left, a young man in a hooded fur cloak staggered down from a small cave at the top of the rock wall and landed at the side of the lizard-like monster. Cheng Bang's spiritual map, actually omitted this person, if Cheng Bang knew, he should be very surprised. The young man patted the demon beast and said with relief: "You are really lucky, these people can really be regarded as good people." I don't even care about you or your children. Such a person should be very interesting. β
The young man patted the back of the demon beast, as if rubbing a domestic kitten, rubbing the back of the demon beast vigorously, and under the neck, so that the lizard-like demon beast was so comfortable that its eyes narrowed.
"These guys didn't kill you and take your eggs, I didn't expect it at all. The young man said jokingly while holding the head of the lizard-like monster.
If there are a lot of reference books around, probably some people can find this monster called "Shadow Lizard". It almost belongs to the ranks of the rarest demon beasts, and there are even a large number of people who wonder if this thing really exists. After all, not many people have ever seen such a thing. The intelligence of the shadow lizard is not very high, and its combat power is relatively weak, if it is not for its extremely perverted concealment ability, it is basically impossible to survive. Don't look at this guy can give birth to twelve eggs at a time, if in a normal natural environment, two or three of these twelve can survive is considered an eye-opener, and he is very lucky.
However, this kind of guy who is a little stupid and can't fight is actually a good mount. The young man straightened his leather coat and placed a large bag on the shadow lizard's back. The shadow lizard looked back at the eggs in the nest, let out a low cry, and shook its body, as if the bag was more in line with the curvature of its body.
"I know, I don't put the eggs here. The young man took out two wooden boxes from the leather pouch behind his back and put the twelve eggs in each. The boxes are padded with a soft material that absorbs shocks and maintains a warm and comfortable temperature to keep the shadow lizard eggs safe. "Actually, you know that you can't feed so many, why do you make twelve at once? Four or five, you can barely take care of them. β
I don't know if I understood the young man's complaint, the shadow lizard looked at the young man's actions, was very satisfied, lowered his body, let the young man sit on his back, and then slowly set off.
The shadow lizard's movements don't seem to be fast, but it is extremely steady, and it is constantly changing the color of its body, blending in with the surrounding landscape. The leather coat and skin on the young man's body also seemed to be able to merge with this change of the shadow lizard, although the change of color was much slower, and the fine process dΓΉ was also waiting for it, which was far behind, but this change was still extremely effective in concealing the figure, and if it were not for the knowledge that there was such a deposit, it would almost certainly have missed this faint figure. Moreover, the set of leather clothes on the young man's body can also effectively isolate the cultivator's detection of spiritual power, and just now Chengbang completely did not appear the existence of the young man. Of course, this is because the function of the spirit map is effective, and the detection ability of long-distance targets is very weak, but the leather clothes on the young man's body do play a huge role.
Riding the shadow lizard, the youth quickly left the oasis. This oasis is too small, and oh it is just chicken ribs for him. If it weren't for the shadow lizard's awkwardness, he would have run out to lay eggs, and he wouldn't have come here. As a result, I saw rare people at the crossing of the Windward Gorge, and I really saw that they were very interested in the Gorge. These are all things that he has to report back quickly.
After running for about an hour, the shadow lizard led the young man to the depths of the gorge, where there were many stone pillars, some of which had even been connected to each other by suspension bridges and other buildings at the tops of the stone pillars, but now, even the holes in which the wooden stakes were held to the ground were weathered to the point of leaving no traces. The young man tightened the bag on the shadow lizard's back and hugged the shadow lizard's neck. The shadow lizard's claws wedged deep into the crack in the stone pillar, and climbed straight up, almost vertically, until it soon reached the top of a stone pillar. There is a very rudimentary ropeway here. The young man took out two leather ropes from the leather bag on his back, tied them to the shadow lizard and himself, hung them on the suspension rope with an iron hook, and slid down the ropeway to the flat ground at the edge of the gorge. The young man looked at the gorge beneath his feet, which seemed deeper and more dangerous at night, and turned away.
This is where the Windwind tribe lives: the Wasteland. Although the Windwind tribe now numbered only three to five hundred, there were still more than a hundred of them wandering around in some towns they could visit, doing business or farming, providing all kinds of necessities for the tribe's survival. Everyone in the Windwind tribe is very important, because they are the outcasts of the prosperity of the Central Plains, they are people from the unknown land, they can't go back, they have nothing but each other. The birth of the Windwind tribe can be traced back to when the Rao family controlled the Windwind Gorge, when in order to save money, a large amount of manpower was needed in the entire gorge from the many tribes and aborigines captured by the Rao family from many islands in the southwest, north and sea. At its peak, there were tens of thousands of people, which could be regarded as a considerable force that the Rao family relied on at that time. However, when the Rao family abandoned the gorge, they didn't take care of them. A large number of slaves at the bottom were abandoned in the gorge to fend for themselves, and the first to destroy the gorge were the people of the Rao family. These slaves had already been working for a long time, and they had gradually coalesced into a tribe from people with completely different languages and living habits. After a few generations, many members of the Windwind tribe gradually left the gorge and returned to the society of ordinary people. Most of these people are no longer much different in appearance from the people of Chu State, Yue State and other countries on the Big 6, and looking at them does not make people realize that they are actually not locals. However, there are still many people who can't do without the gorge. They built their own village in the Wasteland and put down roots here.
Twenty or thirty years ago, they had a conflict with someone who wanted to explore the gorge, and later almost attracted several major families to investigate the gorge, but fortunately they were too familiar with the environment of the gorge, and the Wasteland was very secretive, so they escaped. Although the people of insight in the tribe know very well that it is not a long-term plan to continue like this, relying on this population, the Adverse Wind tribe can only slowly wither and die, but they really dare not take this step outside.
The young man riding the shadow lizard is named Jerro. Changing into a set of clothes, he looked the same as the average young man of the Chu State, but he was the leader of the younger generation, and this time he went to Yong'an to buy all kinds of medicinal materials needed in the tribe. It can be regarded as an accident to meet Chengbang and them. (To be continued...!)
