Chapter 123: The Ancient Family of the Crimson Castle
Lucius and the others didn't know that their whereabouts had been discovered, and several major clans in the city in the forest, under the convening of Li Si, had already sent young elite children of various clans to follow Li Si to pursue Lucius and them.
In the city in the forest, surrounded by the young elite children of the big clan, Li Si is more like a king in the forest, which can be said to show his noble and noble identity.
However, not only because he was worried about Lucius and the others, but also because he was unable to conquer Caroline, Li Si did not show the spirit of a king, but after everyone gathered, he warned very coldly and calmly: "Before leaving, I need to remind you not to underestimate those outsiders. ”
Originally, most of the children sent by the various tribes in the city in the forest looked down on the outsiders of Lucius at all, in their eyes, they were the overlords of the forest, and those outsiders would sooner or later become their own things, and even many people already regarded them as slaves of their own race.
Now hearing Li Si's solemn warning, the young children of all ethnic groups can't help but restrain the arrogance in their hearts.
Their family is in the city of the forest, but no matter how high their family status and strength are, they can't compare to the Li Si family in the Scarlet Castle.
Since even Li Si is cautious, then those outsiders are afraid that there is something special, and the young people who were originally higher than the sky suddenly began to secretly calculate one by one, and many of them reined in their previous arrogance.
However, the city in the forest is very large, and although there are not many ethnic groups that can enter it, the strength and knowledge of the younger generation of each ethnic group are still somewhat uneven.
Some people can perceive the crisis from Li Si's words, others are completely unaware of any crisis, and some people feel that their family group is strong, and they don't care about Li Si's warning at all.
Li Si secretly observed everyone's reactions, and he didn't pay attention to those who didn't feel the crisis at all, those people were just a group of dogs to Li Si, and their clan did not pose the slightest threat to his family. Keeping them in the city in the woods would help the Lees family rule.
As for those who disdain, Li Si won't even look at them, and those who will disdain them on their faces, in Li Si's eyes, he can get rid of them lightly.
Only those who are quiet, but secretly vigilant in their hearts, are his biggest opponents in the eyes of Li Si, those people have a strong family background, and they have the ambition and strength to challenge the status of the Li Si family.
In a group of people, there are a couple of maverick guys. Especially attracted Li Si's attention, those guys themselves are not weaker than Li Si, and the family background behind them can definitely be called giants in the city of the forest.
Those guys seemed to be very unsociable, and they always didn't come into contact with most of the younger generation in the city in the woods, but Li Si knew that in fact, many young children of the family behind the scenes secretly took refuge in those guys. The power they have in their hands is faintly overshadowing Li Si's head.
For these, Li Si saw it, but he didn't break it, he knew very well that his family had been in charge of the forest for so many years. Some of the forest tribes have long been ready to move.
According to the words of the elders in the family, when the water is clear, there are no fish, and it is necessary to let the water be mixed up first, so that those thorns can jump out on their own. When they make waves, they will go down to the net and catch them all.
So although those people don't respect Li Si, and intentionally or unintentionally will break his face. Li Si didn't express his resentment, but just let those people jump.
For example, right now, everyone has stopped in front of the gate of the city in the forest for a long time, and Li Si has no intention of beckoning everyone to set off, and soon someone can't bear to take the initiative to stand up.
A handsome young man stood up first and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we have been delayed long enough, since we want to get rid of those outsiders who have broken into the forest, let us hurry and set out, lest we lose their traces, and we need to spend more time, it is better to go early and return early." ”
Li Si didn't speak, looking at the young man who stood up to speak, the other party had blonde hair, and the most strange thing was that the other party's eyes were also golden, which was a unique sign of the other party's family.
According to Li Si's elders, the young people's race, like the Li Si family, should also come from the ancient East, even if they are not pure-blood descendants of the ancient race, they should contain extremely rich blood.
Therefore, the elders of the Li Si family are also extremely jealous of the young people's race, and they are reluctant to provoke each other, and they will even listen to the opinions of the young family on some matters.
This handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes can be regarded as Li Si's biggest challenger among the younger generation of all ethnic groups in the city of the forest, and his own strength is faintly stronger than Li Si.
When he opened his mouth, he would naturally be echoed by many people in the younger generation, which made Li Si a little unhappy in his heart.
The younger generation of the blood clan, Gilles, has always been very close to Li Si, and with the blood clan's dependence on the Li Si family, Gilles can be regarded as Li Si's absolute supporter and follower.
At this moment, seeing that Li Si was faintly unhappy, Gilles suddenly stood up and said: "Amir, you seem to be in a hurry, I advise you, don't underestimate those outsiders who break in, otherwise you will definitely suffer a big loss, and besides, whether you should set off and when to do it should be decided by His Royal Highness Li Si." ”
Hearing that Gilles opened his mouth and said with a gun and a stick in his words, Amir, a young man with blond hair and golden eyes, looked over contemptuously, pursed his lips and sneered, "Gilles, it looks like you should have suffered a loss?"
Amir's words made the suddenly squeezed Gilles speechless, and the pale face of the blood clan also rose a little bloody at this moment, and his angry eyes stared at Amir, as if he wanted to tear the other party apart.
Seeing Gilles being teased and seeing Amir's provocative gaze without a trace, although Li Si felt annoyed in his heart, he couldn't have a seizure, so he could only stop Gilles and said: "Okay, let's go, since it is the experience given by the elders, then I hope you can show some real skills." ”
After that, Li Si did not delay any longer, and stepped out of the city in the forest, leading the young generation of all ethnic groups in the city in the forest to rush into the dense primeval jungle to find the whereabouts of Lucius and others.
Just as Li Si and the others left the city in the woods, in a brightly lit hall in the depths of the Scarlet Castle, an old man with white hair sat on a futon made of grass and rattan, his eyes closed and concentrated, as if he had not breathed a breath, as if he was a dead man.
The old man sat cross-legged at the bottom of the platform, and several people stood respectfully waiting, even though it looked like the old man would never wake up. But those standing below are always in awe.
I don't know how long later, the old man on the high platform suddenly spoke: "What's the matter?
Hearing the old man's question, among the people standing below, a middle-aged man with a simple face stood up and responded: "Ancestor, it was Li Si who brought back some news, saying that a group of outsiders broke into the depths of the forest, and Li Si had already fought with them, although one was captured, but the others were said to be very strong. Escaped. ”
"Is it just such a trivial matter? You are bothering me for such a trivial matter? I'm afraid it's more than that? If you have anything to say, don't be spitting in front of me. ”
Broken by the old man, the few people standing there smiled awkwardly, and then the middle-aged man continued: "Don't dare to deceive the ancestor, that powerful divine city suddenly disappeared, and the original location of the divine city actually appeared in an endless grassland. ”
"What ......" This time the old man opened his eyes, and his deep eyes revealed a fine light, which did not look like the eyes that the old man should have at this age.
A few people stood below. When I looked at the old man's eyes, I suddenly felt as if I was being pressed by the mountains, and it became difficult for me to breathe.
"Say it. What did you find?" the old man gathered his momentum and asked a few people as calmly as possible.
The middle-aged man didn't speak this time, but a woman beside him spoke, "Ancestor, it is said that the Divine City has been destroyed. The powerful inheritance inside has also been taken, and as for where it is now, we have not yet found out. ”
Hear the words. The old man fell silent, his eyes closed again, his breathing gradually became calmer, and after a while he regained his previous state, and sat there for a long time without any movement.
However, the old man's appearance was invisibly a heavier pressure on the servants, and several people lowered their heads and quietly looked at each other, but no one bothered the old man.
For those who are familiar with the old man, they clearly know that the old man is deep in thought, and he should be thinking about the divine city, and his family left his hometown to cross the ocean for the treasure in that divine city, but now, the divine city has disappeared, and the treasure has been taken away.
As the head of the family who crossed the ocean, the pain and pressure that the old man has endured over the years is unimaginable to the family members.
I don't know how long it took, the old man sighed and said, "Hey, I can't think of it, I really can't think of it, I can't get anything in the end, it looks like it's time to go back." ”
"What, go back?" the old man's words shocked everyone, and the few people standing in front of the high platform all showed incredible expressions, almost unable to believe their ears.
Hearing the exclamations of several people, the old man opened his eyes again, his gaze swept over everyone in front of the high platform, looking at the few of his own juniors in front of him, the old man couldn't help but feel a little lost.
The young man who had crossed the ocean with great ambition is now a dying old man, and his followers, as well as his sons and daughters, have passed away one after another, and these descendants in front of him do not know how many generations of their children and grandchildren, the old man has been away from his hometown for so many years, and for the first time he misses his hometown so strongly.
When the old man fell into thoughts, a few people in front of the high platform secretly communicated, and the middle-aged man spoke again: "Ancestor, we have taken root here, although the Divine City is no longer there, but we also have enough strength, I heard that the outside world is about to be in chaos, why don't we take this opportunity to go east?"
"Yes, Ancestor, according to our spies, the Western Continent is in chaos now, if we gather a large army to rush out of the forest at this time, we will definitely be able to take the opportunity to make contributions in the Western Continent, and at that time, we can go all the way east and return to our homeland, wouldn't it be better?"
Several other people also agreed, but they didn't get a response from the old man, and they suddenly fell silent one by one, standing in front of the high platform and quietly waiting for the old man's response. (To be continued......)
