We walked down the mountain path, following the sounds, and stopped as we were about to reach the stone temple where Abigail had received us yesterday. In the distance, I saw a large group of Miluo people pulling a huge wooden cage car at the foot of the mountain, and slowly walking towards the mountain along the mountain road.

The mountain road is not very narrow, enough to accommodate two or three horses walking side by side, and the cage they dragged is very conspicuous, about two zhang in size, the whole mountain road is full, from our side, even if there are many people around the cage to hold on, it seems to roll down the mountain. And the strange howls that resounded through the mountains came from the cage, but now that I heard it, the strange howls seemed to have a little more mournful wail.

"What are these people doing?"

I looked up, but it was a little far away, and it was a little drowsy, and I couldn't see anything in the cage. At this time, Nagu said: "It is the tribesmen of the Miro tribe who went out to hunt, and the cage should contain the prey they captured this time." ”

In fact, I could already see that, in addition to the most conspicuous cage in the group, there were many people in pairs, carrying small prey like goats with thick wooden sticks, but they were not very conspicuous.

After all, the Miro tribe is a medium-sized tribe, and their hunting formation is really big enough. Although the number is innumerable, at a glance, there are more than 300 people in the group of people on the mountain road. When I went out with Ramru and the others to hunt bears, they were only with two dozen men, and although we didn't get anything out of it that time, the two dozen men were enough to dismember and bring back a sturdy adult black bear, and they didn't need any cage loading. It's just that what kind of animal are they hunting, and they have to use such a big cage? This big cage can almost fit three black bears.

As he was looking, he suddenly heard a cheer from the stone hall, but it was Abigail who led a group of people out.

Our position is only a few dozen zhang away from the stone hall, and when we saw Abigail, he also turned his head to see us, and nodded at us with a smug look on his face.

We followed Nagu forward, and Nagu bowed to Abigail and said, "I've seen the patriarch." ”

Abigail laughed, "You've come just in time, my people have captured a unicorn, come and have a look." ”

Unicorn?

I couldn't help but be surprised, just at this moment, there was another deafening roar from the cage of the mountain road.

Now that I hear it again, isn't it the unicorn voice that is ringing in the cage?

On the way to Kunlun Sect that day, Cheng Fuhai and I came across a unicorn, and of course I remember its voice, but it was low and abnormal. But we were in the middle of a low mountain forest, and the unicorn's cry was as low as that of the mountain beasts, not as it is now. Probably this is related to this high mountain of the Miluo tribe, although their mountain is not as majestic as Kunlun Mountain, but it is also a great mountain, the mountain is surrounded by walls, and the voice of the unicorn sounds, it is indeed much louder than usual, no wonder I didn't hear it for a while.

Unexpectedly, I actually met another one here.

Compared to my surprise, Nagu was much calmer, looked at Abigail and smiled: "The rhinoceros horn of a unicorn is a rare and good material, and it is really rare that this kind of rhinoceros is now endangered. ”

The smug look on Abigail's face was even better, and he raised his head slightly and said: "It's really rare, this beast likes to live underground, and the cave roads extend in all directions, and my people also dug the ground to intercept it, and it really took a lot of effort." However, fortunately, this hunt was very fruitful, hehe. ”

Do unicorns dwell underground? I've heard of it for the first time. The expression on Na Gu's face remained unchanged, and he said: "I heard that the rhino horn of the unicorn is ground into powder, mixed with special medicinal materials to make Gu medicine, which has a miraculous effect, and people can not only prolong their life after eating it, but also be able to maintain their appearance and appearance." ”

Abigail nodded and said, "Exactly." I'm already planning to cut off his horns and give them to the Great Witch so that he can help me prepare the Gu medicine. ”

He was no longer as sneering at us as he had been last night, but more peaceful, and laughing and talking to him. Maybe he really meant to be obedient, as Nagu had guessed, and I don't know what he was thinking.

At this time, the group of Miluo people on the mountain road had already come to the stone hall, and the first hundred or so people who came up saw Abigail, shouted in unison, knelt down and saluted.

I looked at the men. They were covered in dust and mud, and they didn't know how many days they had been out hunting this time. They had a lot of things on them, and in addition to the ropes of their weapons, which were needed for hunting, almost every one of them carried a pheasant or two and a harre. The animals looked like they had been caught in iron clips, their bodies were deformed, and the blood had dried up and could not flow at all. Among these people, some of them carried the severed animal limbs on their shoulders, and they couldn't tell what kind of animal they were, probably because they were too big to carry, so they were cut apart. A little further back were the Miro people carrying the carcasses of a boar. I hurriedly looked at it, and there were twenty or thirty heads.

In the crowd, the leader was a man of medium stature, with a large brown feather on his head, a bow and a leather bag hanging from his body, and two wild pheasants in his hand. As soon as he stood up, the man spoke to Abigail for a while, presumably to report the results of the hunt to Abigail, pointing at the prey in the ranks.

When the man had finished, Abigail waved his hand, and the group turned around and walked towards the open space on the side of the stone hall, where the campfire had been held last night where their Miro clan had chanted and danced.

Immediately followed by the hundred or so people in front of them was a group of Miluo people with a large cart cage. There were quite a few of them, as many as seventy or eighty, and because they had ropes in their hands, few of them carried wild game with them, and they only carried them casually around their waists. The cage they were pulling was rough and worn, the wood on the cage was bad, mixed with dirt and blood, and the four wheels under the cage were completely supported by four stout narrow wooden stakes, each of which seemed to have a lot of weight, and looked very heavy, and the group of people pulling the ropes in front of them had a hard time.

The sky was much brighter than before. You can see clearly in the large cage that a large unicorn is lying on its stomach.

I looked closely, and saw that this unicorn was a little bigger than the one I had seen before, and the two-foot cage was not even as long as its body, and its whole body was bound by an intricate array of rattan and ropes, and its body was curled up in the cage, and the other end of the rattan and rope was tied to the wood of the cage, so that it could not move. To the left of one of its eagle heads, there was a shocking wound, as if it had been pierced by a bone spear, and the feathers at the wound had fallen off, and some blood was sticking to it.

In the middle of its head, there is an inch-long rhino horn, but this rhino horn is too small to compare with the one I saw at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

As soon as the cage arrived near the stone hall, Abigail couldn't wait to walk to the cage, his action seemed to frighten the unicorn in the cage, and opened its eagle beak and barked at Abigail, but it sounded like this, its voice was not as loud as just now, but much smaller.

Abigail didn't care, holding a piece of wood on the cage cart with one hand, but turned his head and smiled at Nagu: "Sir is proficient in witch doctors, familiar with herbs, how about coming over to see this rhino horn?"

His words were meant to show off, and Nagu also catered to it, walked up and looked into the cage, then turned back to Abigail and saluted, and said with the same smile: "Patriarch, this is an adult unicorn, the horn of a unicorn grows with its age, no horn grows before the age of three, and it only emerges after the age of three, and it is not easy to grow a point older, not only is it not easy to grow, but it is also very easy to break." It's not an exaggeration to say that this adult unicorn still retains such a long rhino horn. ”

I couldn't help but laugh when they said that. If Na Gu was originally a person from the imperial court, he must also be a shrewd envoy, whether he is not surprised or can speak kindly, he is even more suitable to be an envoy than the real envoy of the imperial court. And Abigail seems to be willing to listen to such sycophants, which the two of them tacitly understand. If they had known that the horn of a unicorn could grow to a foot long, or what it would look like, they would have been afraid that flattery would have become a real marvel, and that listening to it would have turned into disbelief.

Abigail smiled up at the sky and said, "Sir knows a lot, this hunt is really lucky, I have a big banquet here at noon, one is to celebrate, and the other is to entertain you and wait for your arrival." ”

Nagu hurriedly saluted again and said, "Thank you, Patriarch." In the words, it was difficult to hide the expression of happiness, and said: "Patriarch, I don't know if your great witch can intend to treat my clansmen?"

Abigail smiled and said, "I was about to send someone to inform you that the Great Witch has approved this matter, and after lunch, you can follow me to the Great Witch's Cave." Go, you talk to me inside. ”

Having captured a unicorn, Abigail seemed to be in a good mood, and the whole person was the opposite of when he met us yesterday, and the two of them talked and walked into the stone hall. I and a dozen other Heavenly Wolf Clansmen also wanted to follow Nagu into the stone hall, but as soon as I took two steps, I was stopped by two Miro people guarding outside the stone hall, so I could only stay outside the hall. Fortunately, their stone hall is not closed, even if you stand at the door of the stone hall, you can see everything in the stone hall, and we are not worried about what Abigail will do to Nagu.

The group of Miluo people pulling the cage did not stop in front of the stone hall, but also turned a corner, pulling the cage towards the open space on the side of the stone hall. At this time, the open space was already bustling, and many old and weak women and children rushed to the open space to welcome the tribesmen who had returned from hunting, and even many children had heard the sound and rushed to look around the cage.

In fact, in the final analysis, the Miro tribe is just an ordinary tribe in the Western Regions.

On the way here, Nagu told me a lot of grievances and grievances between their Sirius Clan and the Miro Clan, and I was more or less affected, subconsciously regarding the Miro Clan as the mortal enemy of the Sirius Clan, and there was a notorious dark wizard in their Miro Clan, so I didn't have a good impression of the Miro Clan.

Maybe the people of the Sky Wolf Clan will still hold a grudge, I don't know. But in the final analysis, isn't the expansion of the territory of the Miro tribe also for the better reproduction of the tribe? In the world of the jungle, in this chaotic Western Regions, it is difficult for the weak to survive after all, and how can the unchanging and powerful gain a foothold?

If the Celestial Wolf Clan was stronger than the Miro Clan back then, what would the situation be like in this area now? I didn't think much about it.

At this time, almost all of the Miro people who had returned from hunting had already walked up, and the crowd walking behind them were carrying a basket on their backs, which contained some strange plants and plants, including branches, leaves, flowers, and spars and iron pieces, which were thought to be medicinal herbs they had gone out to collect.

I was watching, and suddenly, there was an exclamation at the back of the group, and one of the Miro tribesmen stepped on the air, and the man slipped and fell to the ground.

The man and another Miro walked at the back of the line, carrying a stretcher on which a thick stack of animal skins, probably stripped from the prey. The man was carrying the back end of the stretcher, but when he slipped and fell to the ground, the Miro man in front of him could not hold on to the stretcher, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the stretcher fell to the ground, and the fur on it fell to the ground, and a corpse rolled off the stretcher.

I was taken aback and looked sideways. I saw that the corpse was all thin and thin, the clothes on it were already tattered, and the iron on its face was as blue as copper, as if it had just been dug out of the tomb. Tumbling off the stretcher, his body flipped over a few times, and he didn't know how long he had been dead. When the two men saw this, their faces were panicked, and they didn't care about the fur that fell on the ground, but went to carry the corpse first.

Abigail said that the hunt was fruitful, and that it probably included the corpses that had been dug up for Zabal. The thought of Zabar's penchant for digging people's graves vanished the goodwill that had just arisen in my heart for the Miro. The two of them moved quickly, and hurriedly lifted the body and threw it on the stretcher.

I was about to turn my head away from looking at it again, but at this moment, out of the corner of my eye, I accidentally caught a glimpse of the back of the corpse.

On the back of the corpse, there was a hideous grimace tattoo.

Although the corpse was somewhat decomposed, I could see it clearly. The ghost-faced tattoo occupied most of the back of the corpse, and a red tongue sticking out from under the grimace was very long, both in terms of appearance and the required paint, wasn't it exactly the same as the one I saw behind Liu Kaishi back then!

It was like a thunderbolt from the sky that hit me in the head, and I almost jumped.
