Chapter 157: Death Valley
The Split Tooth tribe is mainly distributed in the eastern part of the Green Soul Forest, with a population of tens of thousands, and lives a life of slash-and-burn farming.
At the beginning of night, the squad of warriors who had gone out returned to Hongyangou. The news of the captives soon spread, and a large number of clansmen poured out of the cave-dwelling caves, beastly whines coming out of their throats, each with salivating expressions.
In addition to headhunting, cannibalism is also an important custom of the Splittooth people. Although Lei Luo and the dragon didn't know this, they also clearly felt that something was wrong when they looked at the hungry eyes of these natives.
"You don't want to bite us, do you?" the dragon shuddered.
"They want to eat us raw. Hazuki replied in a low voice over the shoulder of the other giant ape.
The dragon became a prophecy, and he wished he could give himself two mouths. It's nothing in hell, and it's too disgusting to play cannibalism outside.
"The Splittooth likes to suck on the brains of their enemies, believing that in doing so, they will gain their power. Yu Yue was still able to maintain her calm, looking at Lei Luo with bright eyes, "Don't be afraid, the Great Elder will bring someone to save us!"
"Let's talk about it later!" Ray Lo looked around, not thinking that he would actually become meat in the mouth of the Splittooth.
As he spent more time with the native girl, Lei Luo was no longer as vicious to her as he used to be. Hazuki is an extremely simple person, like a blank sheet of paper, good is good, bad is bad. Because of the relationship between the deceased brother, Lei Luo took good care of him, but he never said much, and when he went to the place to bring him food, he often sat next to him without saying a word, silently watching him turn around and leave after eating.
"I will also do my best to protect you. Hazuki seemed to have forgotten how Lei Luo behaved against the giant bear, and he also forgot that he was the first to be knocked down by the bear's paw.
Lei Luo was slightly moved, but he didn't understand why the other party was so good to him.
Unlike the Barbarians, there is no half-length tent to be found in the Splittooth settlement. The whole red rock ditch is like a dry river, and there are caves on both sides. There was a flickering fire inside.
The three were taken to a large cave and thrown to the ground. Several giant apes and other giant beasts began to mutate, and the bloody skin and fur of the beast were all over the ground, looking extremely painful.
The native warriors who eventually regained their human form were all naked due to torn clothes, and their short bodies made it impossible to believe that they had any connection to the behemoths before them. The leader of the warriors came over with such a swagger. Maliciously exposing the disproportionate huge thing under his crotch, he stood in front of Hazuki.
"Follow me to the patriarch!" The leader of the warriors took the opportunity to pull up Hazuki and straightened his hips, trying to rub the giant object against the other party's face.
Yuyue had a broken arm and was unable to move, and she was about to be rubbed, but she was pulled aside by Lei Luo.
"I'm going to eat you alive little by little!" the warrior leader glared fiercely at Lei Luo, his companion's death made him remember the other party, and his heart was full of hatred.
"Come on!" Lei Luo replied coldly.
The warrior leader's face changed. He cursed viciously in the local language, and shifted his target to drag Lei Luo.
Escorted into the deepest part of the cave, Lei Luo and the others met Kumba, the patriarch of the Splittooth Clan, by a large fire.
Kumba was an old man, covered in tattoos all over his face, with cloudy eyes bulging out, and he looked extremely terrifying. He looked up at the three people he had brought in, and his gaze quickly locked on Lei Luo. No longer moves.
The warrior leader clinged to Kumba and muttered under his breath.
Kumba's cloudy old eyes are getting brighter and brighter. The Adam's apple rolled up and down, making a strange grunting sound, and asked Lei Luo, "Can you construct?"
Lei Luo nodded slowly and said, "You have seven constructs on you, and all seven of them are telekinesis bonuses. It's a pity that the build itself is too low-grade. It only adds up to a 10% increase at most. Also, the construct behind you is a failure, and it went wrong when it was loaded, and now it hurts to death every night? That's a nerve. ”
Kumba was first shocked, then overjoyed. With his age-disproportionate agility, he jumped up and said hurriedly: "It turns out that you really know how to construct! Can you teach my people this skill? Damn the Emperor of the People, he doesn't need to construct himself, so he blocks all the ways of constructing, so that we can't even get a drawing now!"
The old saying that the disciples of the church starved to death of the master, Lei Luo did not forget. At this moment, facing the old native who was less than his chest height, he slowly showed a strange smile and said, "I teach you, so what good will I have?"
Kumba was stunned, and before he could reply, the leader of the warriors next to him had already roared angrily: "Benefits? Keeping your dog's life is the greatest benefit for you!"
"Shut up!" Kumba interrupted him, and then asked Lei Luo slowly, "Talking about conditions at this time, are you really not afraid of death?"
"I'm afraid, but I think you must be reluctant to let me die. Relo held out his right hand, revealing the overlapping structure on the back of his hand.
Kumba's eyes turned into bull's eyes.
There will be an overflow of energy in any build, which is ingrained in the common knowledge that Kumba knows. But now, the layers of several structures were as motionless as the fakes painted there, and Kumba used his telekinesis to explore, only to find that they were all genuine products, and the power of the circle flowed smoothly, and the person who was tattooed reached an absolute balance by unimaginable means.
This is simply that Kumba has never even thought of the realm, beyond all his knowledge of the construction.
After a long time, Kumba came to his senses and muttered, "It's really an overlapping build, it's really an overlapping build!" he swallowed viciously and glared at Lei Luo, "Say, what benefits do you want!"
Seeing that the patriarch of the Splittooth Clan had actually compromised like this, the stunned in the dragon's heart was like boiling water in a pot, and he couldn't control the question mark rising upwards.
The dragon had no memory of his previous life, so he wasn't sure if the plane he had lived in had constructed such a thing. Whether Lei Luo is really a bull fork, or pretending to fool this old ghost, the dragon has no way of telling. After all, so far, I have only seen such a structure as [Gravity Bonus], and it was inexplicably engraved on the body by Lei Luowen.
Yuyue is different, the Great Elder of the Barbarian Tooth Clan is also a constructor, and now it seems that he is not as powerful as Lei Luo. Because the Great Elder has been trying to find the possibility of overlapping the structures, saying that if he finds a way, he will go to Hell and run for it himself. Hunt down Legion Bosses and blast back advanced construction blueprints from them.
Yu Yue had heard the Great Elder sigh more than once, so he was deeply impressed by the concept of "construction cannot be overlapped", and at this moment, he was really surprised to see that Lei Luo's other layer of identity was actually a construction master.
"Say whatever you want!" Kumba almost yelled.
Relo remained silent, smiling at the warrior leader who was trying to molest Hazuki.
Kumba was stunned. reacted and pointed at the man: "Break both legs!"
The other native warriors did not hesitate, immediately pounced, knocked down the leader of the warriors, dragged them to the side like dogs, and directly kicked their legs, and their expressions were not unbearable, but looked extremely excited. The leader of the warriors howled and rolled around at the sound of cracking bones, and fainted in a few moments. It seems that the physique in human form is not very strong.
Lei Luo saw that these natives were ruthless to their accomplices, and his defense deepened even more.
Kumba looked impatient and gasped, "How is it?
"Help my friend heal his wounds, and then tell me by the way, how your fire is awakened. Lei Luo didn't plan to help Hazuki recover from his injured arm with Shengmen Miwu, in case of extraneous branches, "I only have these requirements for the time being, and I am willing to make a deal." Whatever you want. ”
Kumba changed color on the spot when he heard the word "tinder" and hesitated for a long time. only then gritted his teeth and pointed to the sky to gamble.
Making an oath when making a transaction is the rule of the natives, not Lei Luo's. He looked at the other party indifferently, turned his head, and smiled at Yu Yue: "It's okay." ”
Early the next morning, Lei Luo and the dragon were taken to a place called "Death Valley".
Compared to the quarry where the barbarians put their captives in charge of replanting trees, Death Valley is almost ten million times larger. There is a rumbling waterfall in the valley that rushes down from the high mountains. A deep pool is formed below. Despite the presence of water, there is not a single trace of green in the valley, and the combination of boulders and laterite forms a desolate landscape.
The strange thing is that the gravity of Death Valley is a hundred times higher than that of the outside world, and the air seems to have stopped circulating due to its solemnity, and there is a dead silence everywhere. The rustling sound of footsteps on the ground is stretched and extended indefinitely. It became like the sound of sandpaper grinding on the drum skin and emitting from the bottom of the water.
Many Splittooth teenagers and even children were sitting naked on huge rocks and meditating, with only animal skins under their crotches. Many of them had their soul origins distorted, and the fluctuations in qi and blood became stronger and more ferocious in Lei Luo's perception. Instead of taking on a red humanoid silhouette like other humans, it turned into a huge pillar of light and soared into the sky.
The Kumba patriarch is the same pillar of light in the perceptual horizon. The sinners and demon hunters who chased him out of Hell before were the same pillar of light. It's just that the pillars of light are thick and thin, and the strength is different.
This is the sign of the awakening of the Tinder, a truly powerful symbol.
"Go over and meditate like them. Since you are also a martial artist, the meditation process will not be so difficult. Remember to immerse yourself in the world, try to appreciate the way nature exists, and forget about your own existence. Kumba instructed Relo.
"Thank you. Lei Luo looked at the mountain-like boulders and saw that they were all Adamantite.
"Now there's something to play. The dragon gasped.
The two of them each picked a boulder and jumped on it. The dragon noticed that Lei Luo's movements were quite clumsy and laborious, and then he remembered that he had several more gravity bonuses than himself, and for a while he had no other thoughts except "pervert".
As soon as Lei Luo sat down and closed his eyes, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.
The dead silence didn't just encircle the ears, it seeped into the skull, burrowed into the body, and wrapped around the soul.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
The rhythm of the heartbeat, and the time span between a single stroke is always the same, which is the most basic drum beat of life.
"Rustling ......"
This is the movement of blood flowing in the veins, like the tide of reincarnation.
"Hiss ......"
The body of the Nine Lives Heavenly Dragon and the cyan chakra were swimming around the Seed of Light, and the three different beings followed a special rhythm, as if the celestial bodies were moving.
"Flutter ......"
Lei Luo opened his eyes and looked at the dragon on the opposite boulder.
"I'm sorry, I didn't hold back. The dragon had just gone off the back door and let out a fart, and his face was very embarrassed.
Lei Luo didn't say anything, but not far away, a native doll who was also working hard to awaken the fire sighed heavily: "What a waste!"
Tanaka's special force field caused all sound waves to change pitch when they came out, but the dragon still understood the meaning from the other party's mouth shape, and said angrily: "Fucking stinky little ghost, are you tired of being alive?"
The native doll is at most four or five years old, with a pigtail on its head, perhaps because it has no tattoos, it does not look as hideous and ugly as an adult, and its apple-like red face is wearing a haughty color.
"You're the captives you captured yesterday, aren't you? Uncle Ben's name is Abu, and everyone who has been cultivating in Death Valley has had to listen to me all this time, understand? Now shut up, clamp your ass, and don't make any more noise. This native doll is also wrapped in a crotch animal skin, and because she has been sitting for too long, the little cock has leaked out of the side, but she is unaware of it.
Hearing him speak so old-fashionedly, the dragon was angry and funny: "The stinky little ghost is in charge of the heavens and the earth, and he still cares about Lao Tzu's shit and fart!
"That old guy Kumba is my grandfather, how about it?" Abu glared at him, revealing his little tiger teeth, "Tell you, it's better not to make me angry! I'm very powerful!
The dragon held his forehead with one hand and waved his other hand in the air, signaling that he would admit defeat.
"Hmph!" Abu triumphantly glanced at the muffled Lei Luo with a little curiosity, and continued to meditate cross-legged.
The dragon looked around, and saw that Lei Luo also closed his eyes, so he had to follow in all kinds of boredom.
In the dark place, if you want to protect yourself and fight back, of course, you have to become strong. The dragon knew better than Lei Luo that fire was the only difference between being strong and not, but at the moment, this way of awakening made him feel a little funny.
In the dragon's view, only the stimulation of life and death in battle is the best catalyst for awakening. If you sit like this now, I'm afraid you won't be able to sit in the Year of the Monkey and you won't be able to sit down.
There are indeed many little guys in this Death Valley who have broken through, but after all, they are natives, and they use a special way that has been passed down from generation to generation. Can Lei Luo blindly follow the cat and the tiger so blindly?
The dragon shook his head, couldn't help but open his eyelids a slit, and secretly looked at Lei Luo.
Whether it succeeds or not, the person who calls the shots is not himself, and now he can only follow in the footsteps of this handsome guy, and he is the only one who looks ahead. (To be continued......)
