Chapter 128: The Prophet
Updated: 2012-09-09
Zero's attempt to find a source of water through the indigenous people was quickly discouraged.
A series of ten poisoned spears suddenly shot out of the dark woods behind the surviving natives, and they were neatly planted at Zero's feet, separating them like a cordon.
At that moment, there was a slight trance. When his perception of danger had declined, he looked at these primitive weapons with some relief when Zero floated the idea. For a long time, the ones that could cause the danger signal of zero life were either powerful mutant creatures or modern weapons with great lethality. The worst is also a cold weapon that has been artificially cast.
Zero had never encountered a primitive wooden weapon like this, and to Zero, they were no different from the trees in the wilderness. What's more, these spears only serve as a warning, not to pierce his body, so they themselves are not too murderous, so he will ignore the past.
But Zero didn't like to be in a passive situation, but he had to stop as soon as his finger touched the butt of the revolver.
The strong murderous aura came from behind his back, and if he remembered correctly, Monie seemed to be in that direction.
So Zero turned around and saw that Moni was still confused, completely unaware that in the darkness behind her, a half-moon wheel saw was less than 10 centimeters away from her delicate neck.
It wasn't until Zero looked at her that Moni noticed something was wrong. The girl immediately wanted to dodge the murder weapon, but there was a dark, but slender arm reached out of the darkness and pressed gently on Mony's shoulder.
Moni didn't dare to move immediately, don't look at the slender little hand, but the feeling it gave Moni was as good as the palm of a violent bear.
In the darkness, a woman appears behind Moni.
He was about twenty years old, and his skin was as dark as the night. But it doesn't give people an ugly feeling, but has a calm atmosphere like the earth. The woman's face was rougher than that of her compatriots in the city, but the firm bridge of her nose and slightly thick lips had a wild taste.
Her figure is not hot, but it is better to be well-proportioned. The two soft ★ flesh on the chest are small but firm, and the tall peaks hold up the simple linen vest on the woman's body high, making people feel that they can't help but pinch it. The woman's vest was very short, only to the navel, so Zero could easily see the thrilling thin waist, as well as the straight hips that Xiangxia extended, and the perfect leg line that did not enter the cloth skirt and was exposed from under the skirt.
Her face and shoulders were painted in the same pattern as those of the surviving natives. The slender legs were not shoeed, and the soles of the feet with cute fingers stepped on the ground, which really made Zero worry about whether he would become the target of the attack of the mutant plant.
But it was such a woman like an elf in the night, and she had a wheel saw in her hand that could be called a murder weapon.
Wheel saws are very different from the weapons used by the natives. First of all, it is made of metal, and secondly, the overall shape is half-moon-shaped. One side of the moon wheel is covered with fine serrations, and while increasing the slashing surface of this weapon, these serrations like the fangs of a vicious beast can cause secondary damage to the wound. Zero can imagine that after being cut by them, the area of the wound will increase, and the blood will flow out accordingly.
A vicious weapon like this is obviously not an indigenous style, but more from the hand of a master goldsmith.
With the appearance of this woman, more natives emerged from the forest. They surrounded Zero in the shape of a half-moon, either with blowguns or spears.
"Weishenme is going to attack my people, outsiders?"
Another thing that made zero accidents happen.
This is obviously also a woman on the indigenous side, who actually uses the continental lingua franca that is difficult but at least understandable to zero. Zero originally thought that she was also "chirping" like the native.
Zero just tried to explain, but the surviving native behind him had already screamed. His language was fast and urgent, like meaningless syllables, and at least zero did not expect to understand even a single word.
Just because he didn't understand didn't mean that the woman who was obviously the leader couldn't understand. As the expression on her face changed, and the saw that was on the side of Mony's neck was lowered, Zero knew that a storm was over.
Soon, the other natives found the carcass of the shield-armored snake. When the snake carcass, which had been almost hollowed out by the cannibal tree, was brought back to the natives, the surviving natives excitedly described what to the female leader. He pointed to Zero as he spoke, his expression full of respect.
"It's you...... Kill this demon snake?" the woman asked, gesturing at the serpent.
Zero nodded and generously acknowledged.
He nodded, and the other natives suddenly raised their weapons and let out a strange scream.
Zero was confused, but saw the female leader come over, handed Moni into Zero's hands, and said, "You guys go, for the sake of you saving our people and killing the demon snake, I can assume that I didn't see you." Just remember, outsiders like you are not welcome in this jungle. If you understand, get out!"
With a wry smile in his heart, he killed the shield snake and saved the native, but in exchange for the word "roll".
He shook his head and said, "We don't want to stay long, but we need clean water that we can drink." If you can tell me where to get drinking water, we'll leave immediately. ”
Zero realized that he had already said it very politely, and he didn't even think that the female native would ask for clean water directly, but just asked where the water source was. Unexpectedly, the nativewoman's face changed when she heard this, and she screamed, "What, it turns out that you are here to rob the source of life?"
As she screamed, the saw in the woman's hand began to vibrate slightly. It was a precursor to the use of a certain ability, and Zero didn't know that his casual words had provoked the hostility of the other party. He immediately pulled Moni back, and at the same time put one hand on the butt of the revolver at his waist.
The natives behind him seemed to know that the leader was moving, and they all let out strange cries and assumed a posture of attack.
Just when the two sides were about to make a move, a loud cry sounded from behind the natives: "Stop it!"
Hearing this voice, the native woman was slightly stunned, but obediently lifted the attack posture. The rest of the natives quieted down and made way of a passage.
An old man with a white beard came to the middle of the field on crutches, escorted by two fully armed male natives armed with bows and arrows, swords at their waists, and spears. The old man sniffed hard in the air with his nose, then looked at Zero and smiled, "I can't remember how long I haven't smelled this gunpowder." Young man, why don't you take the mountain path that the caravan has driven out, but come here? You know, Grim Reaper Ridge is not an amusement park, and you can go anywhere at will?"
Before she could answer, the native woman had already rushed to say, "Dear Prophet, this greedy outsider is here to rob us of the source of life!"
