Chapter 222: An Unexpected Change
Maybe it's because the top of his head is full of bright feathers that form the shape of a crown, and the precious animal skin covered with long hairs adds a bit of luxury, and he hasn't seen him for a few months, and Tugra, who was held to the high position of the head of the tribe by Zhang Lisheng, has more or less some majestic momentum, but judging from his tired look that is difficult to hide, the life of the head man should not be very comfortable.
"All right, Tugla, get up, I have something to ask you. Zhang Lisheng looked at the prostrate native under his feet, his body slowly shrank to a normal height, and he kept walking into the largest bark house near the totem pole and the entire 'Tudenan'.
"It's a great reinventor. Tugla replied, stood up with trepidation, and followed the young man into the sacred mansion where the 'annals of the tribe' were enshrined.
After Zhang Lisheng entered the house, he sat directly on the furry animal skin, dropped the metal box and crumpled clothes in his hand, and asked directly: "Tugla, during this time, the animals on the island will run around every night, do you know what the reason is?"
Hearing this, the face of the leader of the 'Tudnan' couldn't help but change color, and the samurai behind him, who was not leaving an inch and acted as a guard, stiffened his body, his eyes widened, and he looked at the tribe's reshaper in horror.
Seeing the abnormal expressions of the two natives, the young man immediately realized that he had asked the wrong question, he subconsciously clenched his fist, and was about to make a move, but saw Tugla suddenly pull out the beast tooth bone knife used for decoration on his waist, turn around and stab into the neck of the guard next to him with all his strength.
Frightened, the brave tribal warrior did not dodge at all, and his neck was cut in half by the person he was supposed to protect with his life. Without uttering a word, his life left his body with the blood gushing out of the arteries, and he fell to the ground, convulsing and slowly dying.
In a pool of blood, Tugla knelt down reverently, buried his head deeply, and replied in a slightly trembling voice: "Great remodeler, the reason why the animals on the island are crazy is because the day of the birth of a new 'mountain spirit' is approaching.
Every 30 to 50 seasons, the moon god will bestow 'wisdom dew'.
Those Revis fell on the island. It will bring wisdom and strength to mountains, rocks, trees, and wild beasts. Let them turn into 'mountain spirits';
If you fall into the sea, you will give wisdom and strength to the big fish in the reefs, waves and oceans to make them become. Become an 'Ocean Spirit'. ”
"So that's the case..."Zhang Lisheng frowned. I understood the reason why I just showed my flaws.
That's why he was able to become Tudnan's guardian in the first place. It was because the natives recognized him as a 'sea spirit', but the question of 'why the island's animals run around every night' just now could never be asked by any sane 'spirit'.
It's like any adult who isn't stupid. I wouldn't point to a big-bellied woman who was in the obstetrics and gynecology department and ask others, 'What's wrong with her' is the same reason.
"Great remodeler, it is you who keep the southern Tudan tribe on the verge of extinction alive, and it is you who appoint me as the leader of the 'Tudnan'.
You are a living faith recognized by the 'annals of the tribes', and from the moment you deliver the 'annals' into my hands, I swear in my heart that I will be pious in my heart..."
"Alright Tugla, you've proven your loyalty with your actions, but your reaction is a little too fierce.
Could it be that a situation like mine has ever occurred in the history of the Hell and is a taboo?" Zhang Lisheng, who had fallen into deep thought, was awakened by Tugla's words of loyalty, and suddenly asked.
"Wei, the Great Remodeler, the kingdom of the city-states on the land, sent a powerful 'Chosen Spirit' to become the guardian of a certain Hell tribe as a 'spirit' seven hundred years ago.
Later, it brought a terrible catastrophe to the Hell Islands. Tughra replied in a vague voice.
Zhang Lisheng, who had witnessed the natives on the island, did not hesitate to sacrifice his life in order to show his piety in his heart, but he did not expect that there would be such fickle people as Tugla among the natives, and it can be said that this despicable guy who gambled on the fate of the tribe for his own selfish interests was still his own believer.
He laughed and said, "I see."
Don't worry, Tugla, I'm not appointed by any country or power, I'm 'me'.
Okay, now stand up, sit down next to me, and tell me a good story about the spirits.
"Yes, Great Reshaper. I don't know if it's because I heard Zhang Lisheng make a promise that he would never have any ill-intentioned thoughts;
Still knowing that he had escaped a fatal catastrophe and could continue to enjoy the power and majesty of the tribal leader, Tugla's extremely nervous expression finally relaxed, got up from the pool of blood, sat down next to Zhang Lisheng, and began to babble about the 'spirit'.
It turns out that in the 'Shrimp No. 2 World Realm', every few decades, the sea where the Hell people live will rain down from the sky, drenching countless droplets of water that shimmer with silver-white brilliance.
This droplet, known as the 'Dew of Wisdom' by the Hellmen, is said to have been poured out by the moon god who lives on the moon to pour out the seeds of wisdom and power sown in the vase.
Stones, trees, waves, and fish and beasts that are endowed with wisdom and magical abilities by these seeds are called 'spirits'.
At the beginning of their birth, the spirits were ignorant, extremely cruel and reckless, but strangely enough, they never harmed the Hellmen, and over time they were slowly recognized by the Hellmen as their natural protectors.
"The strength of a spirit usually increases with age, but it doesn't have to be that way, and sometimes a newborn spirit has a mysterious strength.
There are also great reshapers, the 'wisdom dew' that descends from the sky always falls on the island and the ocean at one time, and there will never be the slightest confusion, which means that the 'sea spirit' and the 'mountain spirit' will not be born at the same time.
The reason why the beasts on the island are so manic this time is because after a while, it will be the day of the birth of the 'mountain spirits'. Tugra said in detail.
After listening to the narration of the natives, Zhang Lisheng pondered in silence for a while, and asked, "Tugla, can you be sure of the date of the birth of the 'Mountain Forest Monster'?"
"Not a great remodeler, the Hellenone only guessed that the moon god was about to descend on the 'Wisdom Dew' by the movement of the beasts on the island, and as for what day it was, only the gods themselves knew the way. ”
"Then wouldn't such a strong commotion of the beasts on the island bring disaster to the Hell Clan?" Thinking of the terrible scene of the beast tide yesterday, Zhang Lisheng asked again with palpitations.
"Great Reshaper, as long as there are more than a thousand people bowing down under the totem pole and in front of the 'tribal annals', then the beast will naturally avoid the habitat of the tribe. ”
"It's so magical..."Zhang Lisheng paused for a moment, turned his head and looked at the 'tribal annals' enshrined on the altar of the bark house, "This is a natural elimination, the tribe with less than two thousand people will naturally perish, or be forced to give up the habitat on the big island and hide on those uninhabited islands."
Powerful tribes can expand their territory effortlessly, but this expansion is too slow...
Tugla, in the nearby mountains and forests, is the southern part of Tud considered a powerful tribe?"
"No, great remodeler, although Tudnan has become twice as strong as before because of your salvation, a tribe of just 10,000 people is not powerful. ”
"Are there any tribes in the vicinity that are similar to the strength of the 'Tudnan'?"
"The 'Valls' in the mountains to the west, the 'Pavaro' to the north across the underground Golden River on which the Vals tribe depends, and the Menge tribe to the east of the valley in the swampy lakes..."
"I'm asking about the tribe that is closest to the Tudinan Valley and has about the same amount of power. ”
"That's 'Menge', the great remodeler. ”
"In that case, the first target of the expansion of the southern Tude tribe is 'Menge'," Zhang Lisheng stood up from the animal skin and strode out of the bark house, "Tugla, you go and gather thirty strong warriors to meet me now, you don't need to be skilled in battle, as long as your strength is enough." ”
"Great Reshaper, 'Meng' is not like the once declining 'Tudnan', there are said to be three Guardians in the tribe who have received offerings, and your two powerful 'legendary creatures' companions are not around, aren't they, yes, aren't they..."
Seeing the appearance of the natives, Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment before he realized that Tugla saw that the dragon and the lizard were not by his side, and he would lose the battle if he ventured into battle.
He smiled indifferently with confidence, "Tugla, the former is actually more important in battle than his strength and strength.
Last time you saw my strength, this time I will let you see my wisdom, don't be verbose, go and gather the samurai. ”
"Yes, great remodeler. Tudenan didn't dare to say anything more, and bent down.
After thinking about it, a suspicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and instead of walking to the study house where the soldiers were resting, he strode to the bark house where the military leaders of the tribe were meeting, pushed the guards away, suddenly lifted the heavy curtain, and shouted solemnly: "Leader Tumu, immediately gather thirty of the strongest among the remaining soldiers." ”
In the bark house, seven or eight native warriors, half-clad in iron armor and with feathers on their heads, sat around a rough wooden table and discussed something.
Seeing Tugra intruding directly, one of the youngest warriors jumped up and was about to speak, but was immediately covered by the only leader among the warriors with three bright feathers on his head, "Yes, Tugra headman."
Ruhu, follow me to pick twenty-eight of the toughest warriors, count the two of us, and follow the leader to return to the Great Reshaper. (To be continued.) )
