Chapter 319: Aborigines
"What, what old rules?" Wan Peng suddenly felt a little confused, and asked stubbornly. At the same time, he also asked Liyang in his inner world, and Liyang also had no concept of this so-called rule.
At this time, the face of the man opposite him was puzzled, "Aren't you a cultivator? You don't know the rules? You didn't come from the cultivator camp?"
"Cultivator Camp?" Wan Peng shook his head, "No. The two of us had just come to Lianxiao from Xuanxiao, and we fell directly into this forest. So, I don't know what you said about the cultivator camp or the old rules. ”
"Really?" said a strange look in the man's eyes, "that's strange. However, when a cultivator enters the cultivation sky, he must first go to the cultivator's camp. But it's hard to say, I've never seen your cultivation so low. However, if you hadn't come from the cultivator camp and followed the cultivator route, how could you attract so many of these forest black wolves. ”
Wan Peng himself shook his head, "I don't know much about this." We went all the way south, and then we saw the river and went down again. On the way, apart from a man-eating flower, they did not encounter any other beasts. ”
The man's face changed slightly, "You mean, you encountered the man-eating flower, but you weren't eaten by it?" ”
Wan Peng asked Xie Ting to take out the flower essence bead, "This is the proof." However, he didn't want to explain too much about his abilities.
The man nodded as he thought about something, "That's a strange thing. If you really kill the man-eating flower, it makes sense to attract these beasts to follow you. When the cannibal flower dies, it will make a sound, and there are more than ten kinds of beasts, which will be attracted by the flower essence pill. Maybe that's when these black wolves of the forest are already following you. ”
He paused and looked at the darkening weather, "Forget it, it's not early." As for the rules, I'll tell you when I go back. Now you have a choice, follow me back to our tribe, or continue to stop here and walk on your own. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a person behind Wan Peng spoke, "Let them go to the tribe, isn't this ......?"
The man stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing, waiting for Wan Peng's opinion.
Wan Peng was also worried about leaving with strangers, but he also found that the people behind him also had concerns about going to them. From this table alone, Wan Peng concluded that bringing them to the so-called tribe could not have been in their plans, and that the trip was probably safe.
In addition, if it was really the two of them who spent the night here, judging from the fact that the beast could appear quietly just now, the safety factor was also quite low.
"I'll go with you. After a little thought, Wan Peng gave this answer.
These people are far more familiar with the jungle than they are, and are able to dodge dangerous and aggressive plants from afar. On the way, the man simply told Wanpeng about four or five kinds of aggressive plants, but because it was already dark, he couldn't really see it.
They followed them roughly along the river in the forest for another hour and a half, and after a few turns, the trees in front of them grew tall again, and the spacing between them was noticeably sparse, and the huge canopy covered the place like an umbrella. If you go a little further, you can see more than 100 wooden houses built on the ground with the help of trees. There are light sources of unknown material on the periphery of the wooden house, and the ground is clearly visible under the light source lighting. However, when these light sources are not at a certain distance, they are not visible at all, as if there is some limitation.
There were quite a few people in the same outfits as the four men, including the elderly and children. After seeing these people return, someone shouted, Gu Lou came back.
Many of the people in the wooden hut came out and looked at the four people who came out of the water with respectful eyes. And when they found Wan Peng, their eyes turned to surprise and weirdness. The Gu Lou they are talking about is actually the first person to come out of the water and kill the black wolf of the forest.
Gu Lou walked straight to a relatively large wooden house in the middle, knocked on the door, and the others waited outside. Although it is a wooden house, it seems to be well enclosed and soundproofed, and Wan Peng can't hear any sound at all. After a while, Gu Lou came out again and beckoned Wan Peng and Xie Ting into the house.
The room was spacious, and after entering was a small hall, and at the back there were two doors, perhaps behind which were compartments or passages leading to other rooms. The furnishings in the house are mainly wooden, with a small number of stone objects. Facing the door, the room was an older-looking man who looked indistinguishable from the rest of the room, except for the obvious green leaf logo on his clothes.
All these people, Wan Peng can't see the cultivation. But Wan Peng can conclude that they are very capable of fighting.
At this time, Gu Lou introduced to the people in the upper seat, "That's them." Their level was much lower than that of the cultivators, but they killed the man-eating flowers. They said that as soon as they arrived in Lianxiao, they arrived at the Soul Devouring Forest, and later walked along the Soul River to the Stillwater Lake. ”
Soul River, still water lake. It turned out that these were the names of two locations. This is also the place where Wan Peng first came into contact with Lianxiao, so I wrote it down firmly.
When the man saw Wan Peng, the kind look on his face remained unchanged, and he observed cautiously for a while. After that, he smiled slightly, "You two cultivators, both are condensing vein cultivators, but you can enter the cultivation sky, and at the same time, you can also kill the cannibal flower, I'm afraid there are some adventures in you, right?"
However, without waiting for Wan Peng to answer, the old man said again, "But these things are your personal secrets, I'm just curious, you don't have to answer." In Lianxiao, everyone has their own secrets, and once their secrets are revealed, they are not far from death. He glanced at Gu Lou, "Since everyone has brought it, you can explain it to them." ”
Gu Lou nodded and turned to Wan Peng. "Now on the throne is our patriarch, Gul. You are the first one we have met, not a cultivator from the cultivator camp. So I'll tell you some basic information first. Usually, after the cultivators arrived at Lianxiao, they all appeared in a fixed location, so they set up a camp there, called the cultivator camp. The forest we are in, called the Soul Devouring Forest, occupies about one-third of Lianxiao's area, dividing Lianxiao into two. The Cultivator's Camp is just to the far north. ”
"For a long time, the cultivator camp has slowly developed and formed its own political power, but it is still used to being commensurate with the cultivator battalion. However, due to the environmental factors of Lianxiao itself, if a cultivator gives birth to a child, he will first have no cultivation ability, so in the cultivator camp, there will be no low-level cultivators like you at all. ”
"And in the south of Lianxiao, there are two big forces. One of them is the ruling class left by Chixiao, but due to the long time and ideology, it has undergone great changes from the current Chixiao, so Chixiao no longer supports and intervenes in it at present. The force they established is called Chilian State. Although it has nothing to do with Chixiao, all the permissions left by Chixiao at that time are also in their hands. ”
"The other, to the west, is a very cluttered location. There are people from all over the world, and their cultivation is not low, and they are in a state of disorganization. It is precisely for this reason that there have been fights for many years, and the winners, with a certain command over the losers, have formed large and small gangs over time. Gangs often merge with each other, and the strongest gang has a certain amount of dominance in that area. Currently, the gang that rules the southwest is the Tigers. ”
"Due to the need for the expansion of power, there have been some organized battles between the three forces all year round. Since the cultivator camp was in the northernmost part and occupied very little territory, less than one-tenth of the entire Lianxiao, the desire to expand outward was also the strongest. They opened a passage in the Soul Eater Forest to reach the southwest, but due to the danger of various plants and beasts in the forest, it was difficult to determine, and the passage was also extremely unstable and often blocked. If you are traveling in large groups, you can fight together, but if you are traveling in small groups, or some individuals alone, you can only risk crossing the jungle around known dangers. ”
When Wan Peng heard this, he couldn't help but have some questions, "The danger in this Soul Devouring Forest can't even be resolved by cultivators above the Yuan Infant?"
Gu Lou nodded, "After all, except for us, everyone else is an outsider. The Alien is an invasion of a creature, and if it is strong enough, it may conquer the existing Lianxiao, but so far, no Outsider has been able to reach this point. ”
"And we, in fact, are natives born and raised in Lianxiao. As the saying goes, one thing descends one thing, we have lived in the jungle for generations, and we also have a considerable understanding of the jungle, and we also have enough ability to deal with the various dangers in it. The aborigines of Lianxiao are widely spread in the forest, and we are only the closest to the still water lake. ”
"There were also various foreign forces that tried to enslave our indigenous people, but because of the forest, they all failed and paid a terrible price. Later, whether it was the search for all kinds of natural treasures or the division of spheres of influence, outsiders found that they had little to do with our natives, so the situation towards us also faded. Now, a mutually beneficial relationship has basically been reached between the cultivator and us. It's like the old rules I mentioned when I met you. ”
"The old rule between us and the cultivator camp is that when the cultivator encounters us, if he needs help, he will use the cultivator's medicine to replace it, and if he doesn't need it, it has nothing to do with it. The specific type of help and the kind of medication needed were all agreed on an ad hoc basis. ”
Wan Peng suddenly realized. However, it also gave him a message that these natives seemed to be ineffective in refining pills, which might be a key point for him to get closer to them.
"Tell us a little bit about yourselves. "Guran now threw the conversation to Wan Peng,
