Chapter 101 Suspicious Shadow(1/2)
The golden wind suddenly blew up, blowing up countless blood-colored ripples on the grass as bright as blood. This kind of wild grass is as red as blood, with only one stem and one leaf in its body. It is more than ten feet tall and densely packed, with no more than a finger apart.
, wherever the wind passes, the blades of grass undulate, just like the waves of the sea, making a huge "whooshing" sound. The grass is hundreds of miles long and wide, and there are only three or five dead trees slanting in it.
Pointing to the sky, like palms scratching the sky.
In the grassland, there is only one road about two feet wide that leads directly to the depths of the mountains in the south. However, this road is full of potholes and bumps. Occasionally, rocks and earth lumps the size of a human head can be seen emerging from the ground, which makes the cart sway wildly along the way.
Shaking around, if it weren't for the high quality of these large cars brought by Xia Jie, I'm afraid they would have fallen apart long ago.
A group of more than a thousand people were walking on this desert road in the grassland, and their ears could hear the roars of various strange beasts. Suddenly, a desolate and ancient smell came out from the bottom of their hearts. Occasionally, an extremely sad sound of an eagle came from the sky, like an eagle.
The long cry of the subordinates made people feel a chill in their hearts. Riding on the back of Hei Shou and walking at the front of the team, Chi Ming, who was wearing a standard caravan guard uniform, could not help but shrink his neck and lowered his head.
He cursed a few times at this damned place.
Riding on Mo Qilin's back, Xia Jie, who was only wearing an animal skin jacket and exposed the hideous tyrannosaurus head tattoo on his chest, was in high spirits. Seeing that the people accompanying him looked a little discouraged, they couldn't help but look up to the sky.
The laughter immediately woke up these elite soldiers from the desolate atmosphere caused by the influence of the surrounding environment. Then, Bai Ye suddenly jumped up, his body expanded to five or six feet high, and he looked up to the sky with a crazy and violent roar.
Suddenly, countless birds and beasts far and near were heard running and dancing in fear in the grass. Suddenly, the area within a hundred miles became quiet, and no more birds or beasts could be heard chirping.
Bai's roar not only frightened the birds and beasts in the wilderness, but also made the hair of Mutu and his subordinate warriors stand on end. These warriors with the warlike factor of Yalang flowing in their blood,
Hearing this battle cry from a real ferocious beast from ancient times, I felt my blood rushing to my forehead. I wanted to yell a few times and have a head-on fight with Bai. Fortunately, they also had the precision of Hairen.
With a careful mind, he barely controlled his fighting spirit and did not do anything stupid like hitting a stone with an egg.
Xingtian Dafeng was riding crookedly on the black sword, holding a light sword in his hand that he thought could not kill even a sparrow. He looked at Xia Jie's back feebly, and suddenly complained to Xingtian Xuanzhi next to him.
: "Boy, I already regret taking this job. This damn place has no beauties, no food, no good music, just mountains, water, trees, grass, and not many people. It's really boring.
It has to make me want to kill someone."
Xingtian Xuanzhi's face was extremely ugly, and he complained in a gibbering voice: "Their troops have all gone to the east to confront the Dongyi people. I heard about Xingtianzhi, and Xingtianzhi also followed him with his own people.
This time they are probably going to make great military exploits. Alas, why do we, the Black Sword Army and the Xuanbiao Army, still stay in Anyi?"
Xing Tianpan snorted coldly, rolled his strange eyes and said angrily: "I heard that someone gave advice to the family leader, saying that our second army was too weak and might be easily swallowed up by the Dongyi people, so we were asked to stay in Anyi.
, this is our turn to be the good errands who have come to live in this southern barbarian land." He punched out angrily, breaking a dead tree on the side of the road, and snorted again and again: "Xia Jie, are you right?
Yes, we can make a lot of money and go back to Anyi this time, but after leaving that grassland and walking for another three or five days, why is there still no sign of anyone?"
"Hmph, the land of the Southern Barbarians, do you still think about how densely populated this place is?"
Mutu's, I saw him peeking at brother Xia Jie's back a few days ago, with murderous intent in his eyes."
"Murderous intent?" Xingtian Aolong hurriedly came over, glared fiercely at Mutu who was far away in front, and said gloomily: "Then, why don't we kill them now. These hundred sea people seem to have a little bit left.
We have strength, it’s good to use them for entertainment. In fact, this time we are going to hunt down Cain who destroyed our palace, how can we use these sea people?"
Xingtian Xuanzhi slapped Xingtian Aolong on the head with a fierce palm, and shouted angrily with dissatisfaction: "Use your brain! Think about it first, why is this Mu Tu murderous against Brother Xia Jie? Could it be that Ando?
Did you order it? Then why did he want to kill brother Xia Jie? If they really wanted to kill us, we brothers should be their targets?"
The brothers of the Xingtian family pondered for a long time, and then Xingtian Dafeng nodded and said in a low voice: "That's all, please pay more attention. I can easily kill these one hundred sea people by myself, but there is no need to worry.
What did they do? Brother Xia Jie said that he received the inheritance of Yinwu Taiyi, and his strength has increased dramatically, but it is not something that these weak sea people can hurt."
The Xingtian brothers here have just finished planning, but something has already happened ahead.
Holding a light bow and a long arrow, Akatsuki was pointing at the grass on the roadside when he suddenly heard a rough roar, and then a heavy horn ax suddenly came out of the grass on the roadside with a cold light.
It flew out, spanning a distance of more than a hundred feet, and struck hard on the ground five or six feet in front of Red Star. The handle of this horn ax was about ten feet long, as thick as a hand, and the axe was two feet wide.
It is two inches thick, and the other side is shrunk into the shape of a bull's horn, with a huge beast's head carved on it, so hideous and terrifying.
Chi Ming was startled, and he almost shot an arrow in the direction of the ax flying in the grass on the roadside. He was frightened for a while, if such a huge ax, such a huge power, would hit his bare body.
On Ming's body, even Chi Ming wouldn't be able to withstand such strength. He is different from Xia Jie. He is not an earthly witch, and he does not have such a tyrannical character.
Seeing that Chi Ming was about to shoot the arrow as soon as he loosened his fingers, Xia Jie suddenly jumped off the Qilin, came to Chi Ming's side, held his bow and arrow with one hand, and slowly shook his head. Such interrogation methods,
Xia Jie and his tribe often did this back then. It was a rule in the wild land of the south. Red Star couldn't let Chi Ming shoot an arrow carelessly, sparking a fight between the two sides.
At that moment, Xia Jie deliberately opened his clothes, revealing the tattoo pattern on his chest, strode to the horn ax stuck on the ground, slapped the ax handle with his palm, and shouted loudly: "What a good one."
The ax probably weighs more than a thousand kilograms. Which tribe's brothers are kidding me, the Chihu Tyrannosaurus? I am a member of the Chihu Tribe, and I brought my master to the Southern Wilderness to exchange goods. What do you guys have?
All the good stuff, just take it out and look at it."
He looked up to the sky and shouted, "Don't worry, I'm not an enemy."
The sound of "swish" came from the grass, and more than thirty disheveled men, who only covered their lower bodies with animal skin pants, walked out of the grass with various weapons. The man who took the lead was only shorter than Xia Jie.
With one punch, his skin was dark and covered with tattoos of insects, fish, birds and beasts, making him look extremely ferocious and terrifying. He opened his arms and walked towards Xia Jie with a 'haha' laugh: "It turns out he is a brother of the Chihu tribe.
, which Chihu movie are you from? Oh, yes, the tattoo on your body is the rule of your Chihu tribe. What good goods have you brought?"
Xia Jie and the big man hugged each other heavily. They both used their arms at the same time to weigh each other's strength. The four iron arms touched slightly, and Xia Jie couldn't help but feel a little shocked. This man's strength was actually not as strong as Xingtian Gale. It was clear that
There is also a group of witchcraft and martial arts strength. I am afraid that he must be the leader of a very large tribe nearby, otherwise he would not have such power. At that moment, he did not dare to neglect, and he opened his arms and saluted: "Ha, there is.
Sea salt, and real old wine, not the dirty stuff used by small caravans on the grassland to fool us tribal people. There are also some iron tools and various weapons, as well as strong bows and crossbows. Look, brother.
What do you want to exchange for?"
Sea salt is something that all tribes in the Southern Wilderness need; iron tools and swords are indispensable items in daily life. But what makes this big man's heart move the most is the words "old wine". At this moment, the big man clicked.
He opened his mouth and exclaimed: "Is there good wine? Tsk tsk, go and talk in our village. If it is really good wine, it will be worth any amount of money." He looked at Xia Jie in surprise again, nodded and said: "I
It's Heiyan from the mountain bear clan. This time he brought his brothers to see if they can hunt some fat animals. Hey, brother, you are so strong."
Xia Jie smiled and said nothing, and just flexed his arms, letting the muscles on his exposed arms continuously undulate and flow, showing an infinite sense of strength. This is nonsense. Today, Xia Jie can no longer use it.
The strength of his strength is used to describe him. How could Heiyan understand the strength that Xia Jie possesses now?
The tribesmen from Heiyan had already moved closer to Xia Jie and his team's motorcade. They stretched out their noses and sniffed the strong aroma of wine that still spread through the sealing mud and wine jars. Several sturdy men could no longer hold back.
He shouted: "Heiyan, this is really good wine. It is much better than the previous wines. I need to change a little more this time. Drink it to your heart's content."
As soon as he heard that it was really good wine, Heiyan's face suddenly showed a strange look of pain and happiness coexisting. Happy people, good wine is the favorite thing of southern men; painful people, how many animal skins would it take to exchange for such good wine?
A jar? Even for those ordinary low-quality spirits, it takes nearly a hundred rare leathers to buy a jar, let alone such a good wine? Heiyan licked his mouth desperately and forcibly held back his saliva.
, there he calculated: "Brother Chihu is from the caravan, let's discuss it, maybe we can give us a good price?"
Heiyan, who was worried about gains and losses, invited Xia Jie to go to their village to rest first. He whistled and summoned a dozen saber-toothed tigers they had tamed to clear the way. He led Xia Jie and his group towards the village. These men from the Mountain Bear Tribe suddenly saw
Xia Jie's mount turned out to be a gigantic Mo Qilin. His eyes lit up involuntarily, and at the same time there was a look of horror on his face. They were so impressed with Xia Jie that they were all in admiration. Some even looked at Xia Jie and the others with extremely envious eyes as they used to pull the vehicle.
Hei Shi just shook his head repeatedly. For such a good mount to be used to pull a cart, the strength of this caravan is too strong.
The mountain bear tribe's village is located in the center of this blood-red grassland. It is five miles long and wide and has more than 20,000 tribesmen living here. The houses in this village are made of grass bricks made of soil mixed with dried grass blades.
The two-foot-thick straw bricks are thick and strong, which can effectively resist the invasion of wild beasts. The houses are scattered in the open space surrounded by three-story wooden fences inside and outside, giving people the feeling of being surrounded by fire. There is only one
The avenue ran through the middle of the village, and hundreds of children and livestock were playing on the avenue.
Seeing the caravan entering the village under the leadership of Heiyan and the others, the mountain bear tribesmen who were busy in front and behind the houses in the village immediately gathered around them. Some people started to ask loudly what items the caravan carried that could be exchanged. Xia Jie
He deliberately yelled a few words in a dialect with a southern accent, saying that there was a lot of salt, good wine, iron tools, cloth and other things. Immediately, the quick-thinking Mountain Bear tribe rushed to his house to get it.
Items that you can exchange for yourself.
Heiyan waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, what does it look like? There is no reason for the brothers of the Chihu tribe to see the joke, haven't you seen the caravan? Get out of the way, get out of the way, I will take them there
The elder's house. Hey, brother Chihu, I'm afraid our village doesn't have enough houses, so you have to set up your own tent to rest." Heiyan laughed a few times, shook his head and said, "Our place is different from the villages in the north.
There are few caravans coming, and there are no houses prepared for the caravan members."
Xia Jie nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay, Chi Ming, you take the brothers to set up the tent and take a look at the goods. I'll discuss an exchange price with their elders. Brother, Qi Xin, come with me and take a look.
?Well, Mutu, you go and rest in the tent, we will take care of these things..."
Mutu nodded when he heard the words, tightened the hood around his head, and did not dare to say a word. How could they, with their blond hair and blue eyes, dare to show their true colors in these villages? What if they were accidentally seen?
The faces are very different from those of the Daxia or the Southern Barbarians. I am afraid that in just two or three days, there will be news everywhere in the southern mountains that people with strange descriptions have entered the mountains. Are there any Cain and others who have escaped without hearing the news?
However, Qi Xin snorted a little dissatisfied, and wrapped a layer of gauze under her hood to cover her face below her eyes. The smell in this village was really unpleasant, there were livestock and poultry excrement everywhere, and
There are several stinking puddles on the roadside, with a layer of greasy dead green moss growing on them. They look extremely disgusting, and there is an indescribable stench emitting from them. This kind of place is like hell to Qi Xin.
Normally, how could she stand this kind of smell?
She didn't even dare to walk on the ground. She could only pat Xia Jie on the shoulder and let him drive Mo Qilin away. She waddled all the way to the door of the largest earthen house in the middle of the village. Then she took Xia Jie's arm and let Xia Jie
After holding her in his arms and climbing up the seemingly spotless steps, he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Xingtian Dafeng nonchalantly tied his mount to a big rock at the door, kicked away a domestic pig that tried to push his boots with its muddy nose, and shouted: "Hey, you can always sit down.
Take a rest. Brother Heiyan, clean up some wild beasts and roast them, just in time to have a bite of fresh game. You have many wild beasts and birds here, but we can’t see them in Daxia. Well, we’ll trade you a jar of wine.
,How about it?"
Hei Yan was overjoyed and shouted at his tribesmen without saying a word, asking them to select the beasts, wash them, skin them and bring them here. He shouted several times toward the earthen house: "Elder, Mr. Wu
, a caravan is here, waiting to discuss with you how to exchange these goods." Without waiting for the people inside to reply, Heiyan kicked open the door of the earthen house, stretched out his hand and signaled: "Chihu
Brothers, come in, hey, why don’t you bring the jug of wine now and we can eat the animal meat?”
Xia Jie laughed, quickly rolled his eyes at Xingtian Dafeng, and said loudly: "Chi Ming, ask someone to bring a jar of fifty-year-old good wine. Hey, this is really good wine, not as good as those ordinary spirits.
Yes." Xia Jie thought to himself, Xingtian Dafeng is really a prodigal. The price of these beasts is only one or two sea salt at most, but he actually gave away a jar of old wine. If items are exchanged at this speed, let's go
To be continued...
