0089 The white-eyed people who drink to quench their thirst

It didn't take long for Jia Chao and his party to be invited to a mushroom-shaped tree in the center of the Baimu tribe.

The tree was larger than all the trees in the tribe, and the diameter of the canopy was about twenty meters.

It seems to be an important place, and the wooden grilles around the trees are painted with mud to keep them warm from the wind.

When Jia Chao stepped into this "house", he found that there were more than a dozen people from the Baimu tribe sitting inside.

In the center are three old men, all of whom are wearing animal skin clothes from the Yanshi tribe, and they have a more noble status than the others.

For the rest of the men were only wrapped in very thin animal skins, and several of them were as thin as white branches.

You know, it's a tribe.

If you don't know, you'll think it's a bunch of giant praying mantises.

At this moment, Bai Zhi used leaves to put the fresh meat she had cut in front of everyone, and everyone looked excited when they looked at the fresh meat.

Jia Chao looked at these people, and the first reaction in his mind was that they must not have eaten meat for a long time.

Could it be that this tribe is very poor?

Why don't you lose weight like this one by one?

At this moment, the old man sitting in the middle spoke, he looked at Jia Chao and asked:

"May I ask which tribe this little brother is the Wind Whisperer?"

Jia Chao was stunned for a moment and replied:

"My name is Ah Chao, the chief of the Yanshi tribe, and I am a beast whisperer." He paused and added, "Blue Order!" ”

Hearing this, everyone in the Baimu tribe turned their heads and ears.

"That's not right! Didn't the prophet's prophecy say that the one who could lift the curse of the tribe would resist the wind? ”

"That's right! What's the use of a blue-level beast whisperer? There are so many beast whisperers in our tribe, and no one can go there! ”

"Don't talk nonsense! Bai Zhi said that seeing him fly in the sky with his own eyes is no different from those wind whisperers! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! You see, this snow rat meat is the best proof of this! After all these years, has anyone else brought back snow rat meat? ”

"Yes, who said it had to be a wind whisperer? I've been to so many wind whisperers before, hasn't anyone succeeded? ”

A group of people were arguing, and Jia Chao listened to it on the side.

The Baimu tribe must have been cursed by something, and according to the prophecy of a certain stick prophet, it would take a special person to unlock this curse.

The man must meet two conditions, be able to fly, and be able to catch a snow mouse.

Obviously, judging from the results, I have met these two conditions.

But what curse did they endure?

Is it the curse of poverty?

The kind that is cursed to not be able to eat meat for the rest of your life?

Before Jia Chao could ask, the old man in the center motioned for everyone to be quiet, and began to explain the reason for inviting everyone here.

"My name is Bai Shan, I am the chief of this tribe, and I invited Chief Ah Chao to come over today to ask you for one thing......"

It turned out that the Baimu tribe was originally a very ordinary medium-sized tribe, and the clansmen in the tribe were no different from ordinary people.

Until one day more than ten years ago, two rays of light suddenly appeared in the sky, one blue and one red.

The two rays of light shot out from the depths of the Lamug Mountains, and then fell on the Baimu grassland.

The blue one landed in a forest near the source of the Shirame River, and since then the snow rats near the forest have become very irritable.

Another red light ended up in the center of the Baime Grassland, eventually causing a terrible fire that killed a large number of people and animals.

After listening to this fantasy story, Jia Chao immediately thought of the fact that the original owner had entered the Baimu Grassland and picked up the fire.

It turns out that the original heavenly fire was not a meteorite, but the red light that shot out from the Lamug Mountains?

As for that blue light, could it be the dark blue ice crystal in the ice lake?

I accidentally broke into the snow rat's nest and took the blue ice crystals, did I indirectly lift the curse of the Baimu tribe?

It shouldn't be that easy, right?

At this time, Bai Shan, the old chief of the Baimu tribe, continued:

"Chief Ah Chao, you have been to the north of our tribe, you should know that there is a frozen lake over there, right?"

Jia Chao nodded.

Bai Shan: "Then did you meet those flying snow rats?" ”

Jia Chao nodded again.

"Shhh Bai Shan gasped, "How did you escape from those flying snow rats?" They're stronger than the average Blue Tier! ”

Jia Chao's eyes flickered a few times, and he spread his hands and said:

"Maybe I'm lucky! It was already dark when I went, and they probably didn't see me! ”

Bai Shan stared at Jia Chao silently for a few seconds, and then debunked him:

"Snow rats can also see things at night, especially those creatures with high body temperatures, they can't hide in front of them at all!"

Jia Chao: "......"

I didn't expect this old man to be quite professional, it seems that there is a lot of interaction between the Baimu tribe and the snow rat.

"Alright! I don't know what's going on! But do those flying snow rats have anything to do with your curse? ”

Bai Shan nodded and said:

"Those flying snow rats are not real snow rats. They have no flesh and blood, they are the embodiment of ice spirits.

Because of their existence, our Baimu tribe is besieged every thirty sunsets.

In order to protect the tribesmen, we had to place a lot of river spirit statues in the tribe.

These river spirit statues can release a white mist that will be suppressed if the snow rat touches it. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Shan let out a long sigh and continued:

"At first, we didn't think there was anything wrong with the white mist, until we found out later that the white mist would devour the prey that the people hunted.

Since then, the tribesmen of the tribe have not been able to eat meat. So you see our kids, all of them have become like this. ”

Jia Chao didn't even need to look up, he had already noticed what the people in this room looked like.

At this moment, Bai Shan and the other two old men took off their animal skin shirts, and suddenly the room fell into a terrible silence.

Jia Chao raised his eyes and looked at it, and was immediately shocked.

I saw that the three old men were all skinny and skinny, and they were all praised by stick insects.

They were completely a skeleton wrapped in a thin layer of skin, and every bone in their bodies was clearly visible.

The most terrifying thing is that the three old men all have spirit marks on their chests, and they are all crimson spirit marks.

In other words, they were all Rank Spirit Whisperers, but they were completely inhuman by the so-called river spirit.

Jia Chao asked suspiciously: "Why don't you leave here and change places?" ”

Bai Shan shook his head, "The curse we suffer is connected to the divine spirit, and no matter where we are, the prey we hunt will be devoured. ”

At this time, the old man next to him spoke: "Yes! No matter what you kill, you'll end up with only a fur left! ”

Jia Chao: "......"

This curse is disgusting, too!

What is this curse called? Is the skinning cursed?

"Then you can't live by eating the fruit of plants?"

Bai Shan: "Of course we can, otherwise our tribe would have died a long time ago!" But it can't go on like this, the children in the tribe can't find a foreign partner at all! ”

Jia Chao was stunned when he heard this, and the focus of his daring is to solve the marriage problem!

He rearranged the logic of the whole thing.

The blue light that fell from the sky caused the ice puppet snow rat to appear in the north of the Baimu tribe, and the golem snow mouse would attack the Baimu tribe once every thirty days.

In order to defend against those snow rats, the Shirame tribe placed a large number of river spirit statues on the island.

The white mist released by the river spirit statue can resist the invasion of snow rats, but it will also devour the prey hunted by the Baimu tribesmen.

This causes the tribesmen of the Baimu tribe to become thin and ugly, and eventually find no mates, thus threatening the future of the tribe.

This is a typical story of drinking water to quench thirst, but Jia Chao feels that there is a key point in this story that he has not figured out.

"Who gave you the idea of erecting a statue of the river spirit to defend against snow rats?" Jia Chao asked Bai Shan.

Bai Shan was stunned for a moment, and replied, "It's a gray-level god of war of the Elders' Council, called Pitch Black!" ”

Jia Chao: "Then have you been in contact recently?" ”

Bai Shan: "Of course! If it hadn't been for his help over the years, our tribe would have perished long ago.

He asked the Elders to set up a garrison in our tribe so that people could stay here and stay so that we could exchange food with everyone. ”

Jia Chao half-squinted his eyes and rubbed his chin, "It means that as long as it is not a member of your tribe, the prey killed will not be swallowed by the white mist?" ”

Bai Shan nodded.

Jia Chao asked again: "Then why can the snow rat I brought back make the white mist fade?" ”

"This is what one of the Wind Whispering Prophets of the Hundred Bird Tribe told us!"

Bai Shan explained: "A person who can fly into the sky will bring back a living snow mouse, and the flesh will not disappear after the Baimu people kill it, and the white mist will disperse!" ”

Jia Chao immediately understood the reason why Bai Zhi did those things before.

"But you also have a flying windtalker, don't you?" Jia Chao stared at Bai Zhi and asked Bai Shandao.

Bai Shan shook his head, "We have sent a lot of Wind Whisperers to the ice forests in the north over the years, but we have never been able to remove the threat of snow rats.

We can't remove the snow rat threat, and we can't demolish those river spirit statues. ”

Jia Chao nodded, "Then I'll go to the north again tonight, do you want to try to tear down some of the river spirit statues?" ”

Although the blue ice crystal had already been obtained by Jia Chao, Jia Chao didn't want to tell Bai Shan and the others the truth immediately.

Listening to Jia Chao's words, Bai Shan and the others fell silent.

None of them dared to pin their hopes on Jia Chao, a blue-level beast whisperer could solve the problem that had plagued them for more than ten years?

In addition to their suspicions, they are more worried.

What if those river spirit statues are demolished and the snow rats invade again?

Jia Chao saw their worries, so he simply stopped talking and left alone.

Seeing Jia Chao leaving, Xia Yun's five siblings also came out.

When they got outside, they found that Jia Chaoren was gone.
