Chapter 83: Unwilling
The battle between Luo Tian and Gelsang's patriarch finally came to an end, and although Luo Tian finally fell into a coma, he still won, after all, Gelsang was directly killed by Luo Tian's terrifying punch.
His body was bandaged like a rice dumpling, Luo Tian was scarred all over his body, and it was good that he could survive this life.
"Hey, why is it so lively outside?" Luo Tian couldn't get out, so he could only ask Yin Jiu.
Yin Jiu glanced outside and said, "The barbarian tribe is holding a funeral, and Chai Zhuoma said that although Gelsang has done a lot of wrong things, he is still an important member of the tribe, so a grand burial ceremony should be held for him. ”
The funeral rites of the barbarians living on the ice field are unique, they will sing the barbarian songs in unison, and then the body of the deceased will be wrapped in cloth and tied to the body of the ice cow, the ice cow will carry the body into the depths of the ice field, and after about three days, the ice cow will return on its own, and the body will remain in the ice field forever.
Some say that the body was taken away by the gods, while others say that the body was eaten by the Icewolf, but either way, the dead will be gone forever, leaving only people to miss him.
Luo Tian heard the sad song of the barbarians for the second time, a simple melody, and an incomprehensible language, but it could sing to the hearts of people.
"I asked Chai Zhuoma about the meaning of the lyrics, and it was roughly three lyrics, brave barbarian child, go back to the embrace of the gods, and one day we will meet on the other side. ”
Yin Jiu said in a low voice, at this moment, even Luo Tian, who won the battle against Kelsang, couldn't laugh, death is always sad.
After the funeral, the old witch came to visit Luo Tian, according to the agreement, Luo Tian needs to stay in the clan for a few days, and then the old witch will arrange a reassuring patriarch candidate to challenge him, Luo Tian only needs to deliberately admit defeat to give up the position of patriarch, and then Luo Tian will be free.
After a few days, Luo Tian's body gradually recovered, and the old witch told Luo Tian as a thank you gift for all the essentials of the spiritual method.
The ancestral altar was still being built, and Luo Tian went back to pack his luggage after admitting defeat directly.
"Before I leave, I will pray to the gods and wish you all the best of luck. The old witch spoke.
Luo Tian smiled and said, "Then thank you, by the way, can you agree to me one more request." ”
The old witch nodded and said, "Say it." ”
"Now the situation in Dawangcheng is turbulent, many people want to harm me and my family, although my father has made a lot of preparations, but I am afraid that something will go wrong at that time, if I have to do it, I want to bring my family to your clan to take refuge and avoid the limelight for a while, is it okay?" Luo Tian planned to take this place as one of his retreats from the beginning.
The old witch was a little hesitant, now that she knew Luo Tian's identity, if Luo Tian had to run away with his family, it would inevitably cause a lot of trouble, and if the entire Yunshan Kingdom court was angry with her clan, I am afraid it would threaten the safety of the clan.
But in the end, the old witch nodded and said, "I'll think about it carefully, but if you're really cornered, you'll always be welcome in the ice field." ”
Luo Tian smiled at this time, before leaving, Luo Tian repeatedly told the old witch not to do anything with the Zhao family, if she can give in, she will give in, if she really doesn't want to cooperate with the Zhao family, she will take the tribe to move as soon as possible, with her current way, if she meets Duan Tianya again, it will definitely be a death.
After packing their bags, Luo Tian and Yin Jiu rode two ice oxen on the road.
The ice storms that have entered the dormant period are continuous, Luo Tian and they have to stop and go, they have to constantly identify the direction, if they encounter the most terrible storm, then even the size of the ice cow can be swept into the air in an instant, the map provided by the old witch marks some eye of the storm, as long as these places are avoided.
After walking for a long time, the two of them were hiding behind an ice slope to rest, Yin Jiu glanced at the map and suddenly showed a puzzled look, and then took a closer look, and was surprised to find that the road he was taking was not the way back to the ancient castle of Beita Mountain.
"Are we going in the wrong direction, the road to the North Tower Hill Castle is going that way. Yin Jiu asked suspiciously.
But seeing Luo Tian, he smiled slightly and said, "We didn't go wrong, I went in the other direction from the beginning." ”
"Why?" Yin Jiu asked puzzled.
"For this good thing. As he spoke, Luo Tian took out the dragon scale fossil.
It turned out that he had the idea of looking for more dragon scale fossils from the beginning, and he knew the general location of the dragon scale fossils from the vendor before, if Luo Tian guessed correctly, the barbarian trader only picked up a few dragon scale fossils scattered around the periphery, and more dragon scale fossils should still be there, as long as Luo Tian is lucky, he may be able to make a fortune.
Of course, he was not short of money, but imagine how much benefit it would be for the Casting Treasure if he could dig up a whole fossil of an ancient dragon?
"But it's too dangerous, I see that the direction ahead is an eye of the storm, what if we are swept away by the storm?" Yin Jiu shouted, pointing to the map.
"If you don't go into the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger, if you don't have the courage to take risks, how can you get high returns, if you don't go, I'll go myself." Luo Tian waved his hand and said.
Yin Jiu was not cowardly, but he was a little worried, and after thinking about it for a long time, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then listen to you, but it's better to be careful." ”
After the two of them reached an agreement, they went on the road again, and the barbarian trader couldn't say the specific location, so Luo Tian and they could only grope to find it, although many treasure hunters on the continent would have special spells or special tools, but it was obvious that Luo Tian and Yin Jiu had more more employment.
"No, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and we're too close to the eye of the storm for the Icefield Ox to move forward. Against the storm, Yin Jiu shouted at Luo Tian.
Luo Tian was also a little anxious, and his intuition told him that the dragon scale fossil was nearby, but why couldn't he find it?
"Let's go ahead and take a look. Luo Tian waved his hand and dragged the Ice Cow forward.
After another journey, the Icefield Ox was already neighing in terror, and the sun was no longer visible in the sky, and it was dark all around, and the wind was howling, and it was very difficult to take a step forward in such a place.
"Let's go back, it's too dangerous. Yin Jiu shouted.
But the sound couldn't reach Luo Tian's ears at all, and it was all swallowed up by the storm.
At this moment, the Ice Cow, who finally couldn't hold on, let out a low roar, slammed down Luo Tian and Yin Jiu, and took advantage of the opportunity for the two to fall, and soon disappeared into the storm.
Luo Tian's dry food and clean water are all carried on the Bingyuan cow, which is good, and there is no food and drink.
However, the roof leak happened to rain overnight, and a large dark cloud was slowly drifting in the air ahead, and at the same time, the wind blowing on the faces of the two people was getting stronger and stronger, and it was obvious that the eye of the storm was moving in their direction.
"The eye of the storm is coming, and it's too late for us to leave. Yin Jiu shouted at Luo Tian.
Although Luo Tian was unwilling, he couldn't fight with his life, he shook his head and shouted against Yin Jiu's ear: "Okay, let's go back." ”
Turning their heads, the two of them walked through the storm, the road ahead was not visible at all, due to the drifting of large dark clouds, the area near the eye of the storm, which was already very low, became black again, and the torches could not be lit in the storm, so the two people could only move forward in black.
Luo Tian thought of a way, in order to prevent the two people from separating, he tied a rope around the arms of the two people, so that even if they were swept into the air by the storm, they would not be separated.
The wind was stronger, and they were drifting when they walked, Luo Tian and Yin Jiu almost all kept their bodies down, and they didn't know how long they walked, maybe half an hour, maybe an hour.
Just when the two of them were exhausted, Yin Jiu suddenly saw a light in front of them, like a ray of hope in the depths of the darkness, allowing Luo Tian and the others to see the opportunity to get out of the eye of the storm.
"Just go in the direction of the glow, fast. Luo Tian didn't care if Yin Jiu heard it or not, anyway, he pulled Yin Jiu and moved towards the bright light.
The light that seemed to be very close walked but seemed to be far away, the two people were exhausted from walking, and finally penetrated the range of the eye of the storm, and the moment they stepped into the bright place, the storm blowing in all directions instantly became much smaller, and the two people panted and fell to the ground, looking back, the dark clouds and the eye of the storm were gradually moving away, as if an invincible giant monster had let them go.
"What kind of place is this?" Luo Tian asked.
However, at this moment, he saw some black glowing hedron embedded in the ice, and those black glowing hedron were very similar to dragon scale fossils.
