"Didn't you hear?" Yan Mo pushed Yuan Zhan who was blocking the way, and looked outside the tent.
"What did you hear?" Yuan Zhan followed him and turned around.
"Someone is singing."
"Sing?"
"It's just..." Yan Mo casually hummed a line of lyrics, "It's like this. There is a melody and a rhythm, which is different from speech. It is generally used to express happiness, sadness or to arouse others. Good songs and lyrics can stir up people's emotions. .”
"Were you singing just now?"
"right."
"It sounds good. Let's do it again. I didn't hear it clearly just now."
"I only sing to my son."
Yuan Zhan's eyes fell on Yan Mo's stomach, and he asked seriously: "Can you give birth? Then give birth to me."
Yan Mo, "..."
Yuan Zhan looked at his raised middle finger and grinned, "Only one? That's fine."
Yan Mo smiled darkly, "I can let you personally experience the feeling of having a baby, shall I?"
"No, I want you to give birth to me, you are my priest." The tall man grabbed the shoulders of his little priest confidently, and reached out to touch his stomach with wretched movements, but was kicked away by Yan Mo.
Yuan Zhan leaned over again shamelessly, reaching out to hug him, when a knife was pinned against his abdomen.
"Do you know how fragile the human body is? Don't think that you can ignore life and death if you awaken the bloodline ability. Here, as long as I stab it three inches in, within ten minutes, you will go into shock due to internal bleeding. Even I may not be able to." saved you."
Yuan Zhan lowered his head, looked at his priest's youthful face, and licked his lips, "You once said that the ability of blood can make my body and soil assimilate."
"Have you reached that level?" Yan Mo was surprised.
"No, but there will be in the future."
Yan Mo was very clear about Yuan Zhan's implication. The animal meant that when he cultivated his ability to assimilate with his body, he wouldn't be afraid of stabbing him with knives and needles.
"If you keep extending your hand, I swear you won't be able to wait until the day when your body and abilities are assimilated."
Yuan Zhan withdrew his hand resentfully, muttering: "You are not allowed to sleep until the age of eighteen, why can't you even touch it?"
"Which animal crawled onto the person after touching it twice last night?" Yan Mo made a posture of shutting his mouth, and listened carefully to the sound coming from the wind.
Yuan Zhan shut up, and listened intently, while measuring the size of Yan Mo's butt with his palm, he felt that Mo had grown a little taller
Yan Mo didn't notice what the man behind him was doing, he didn't hear the same voice again after listening for a long time, he couldn't help feeling disappointed from the bottom of his heart.
That night, the two also slept in the same tent. Yan Mo wanted to enter the laboratory, but was stopped by Yuan Zhan: "The ancestor god is calling you again?"
Yan Mo said vaguely, "Yes."
Yuan Zhan frowned, "Why did the ancestor god call you every night during this period? You haven't slept well for a long time, didn't you realize it yourself? Dahe said that you can fall asleep while walking during the day."
"The results of the first phase are coming soon."
"what?"
Yan Mo saw that he didn't explain clearly, so this guy was not going to let him go, so he said: "The ancestor god thinks that my bloodline ability is not enough to protect myself. He is giving me a new ability now, but it takes time to give a new ability. It takes time for your body to adapt, so…”
"How long will it take?" He likes to sleep with his arms around him or press him to sleep at night when Mo is fast asleep.
"Three or four days." In the laboratory, he carried out gene fusion experiments based on Boye's genes and ability development direction, according to his own conditions, and self-simulated thirteen evolutions. The result of the first stage is to rule out the impossible and leave a few possibilities.
"Don't go in a row. A good fighter needs to eat and sleep enough to kill wild beasts."
"I know, I know it myself." Yan Mo impatiently shook off the man's hand, and the figure disappeared out of thin air.
Looking at the place where Yan Mo disappeared, Yuan Zhan felt a little irritable. He wants to know where Mo is, he wants to go to all the places Mo can go, he wants to know everything about Mo!
This feeling of not being able to hold people in the palm of your hand is really terrible!
Yan Mo came out of the laboratory the next morning, remembering that he didn't have to leave today, so he immediately fell asleep.
Yuanzhan asked Dahe and Landie to take turns guarding the tent, while he went to Chief Hao and Ji. Today they will organize more people to find Bing and them.
Yan Mo had a good night's sleep without being disturbed, and didn't get up until after noon.
When he walked out of the tent and was about to ask if Bing was found, he found that everyone's expressions were not quite right. Dahe is more mature, his expression hasn't changed much, but Lan Die seems to want to say something but was forcibly forbidden. The expressions of the Yuanji tribe not far away were much more natural. They all had some anxiety and sorrow on their faces, as well as some obvious fear.
"What happened?" Yan Mo walked to the edge of the stream and squatted down, and asked while rinsing his mouth and face.
Neither of them spoke.
Yan Mo stood up, wiped his face, shook off the drops of water from his hands, and turned around, "Dahe!"
Da He hesitated for a moment, and Lan Die whispered next to him: "The Great War prevents us from telling you that you are too tired and need to rest."
"Oh?" Yan Mo raised his eyebrows, he didn't look at Lan Die, but only looked at Dahe, "I remember you once said that you will be my most loyal soldier, is your loyal person now replaced by Yuan Zhan?"
"No!" Dahe's expression changed suddenly, and he knelt down on one knee.
Yan Mo didn't let him get up, but just looked at him calmly.
Da He put his right hand on his left chest, and said heavily, "My life and my fighting spirit belong to you, Lord Mo."
Lan Die was frightened, and knelt down on one knee. In his heart, the status of this young priest was already higher than that of the old priest Qiushi.
"I don't want you to hide anything from me in the future, no matter it's good for me or bad for me. I ask you, you have to tell me. If I don't ask you, you have to tell me what you know and what I don't know I."
"yes!"
"My guards, my soldiers must obey my orders completely, and only my orders. If you can't do it, tell me, I won't detain you, but you can't stay in my house anymore. around."
Yan Mo's voice and tone were normal, but Da He's back and armpits were sweating, and he said with a more serious expression after hearing this: "No, I can do it, and I won't hide anything from you in the future. "
Yan Mo nodded, "Get up, don't kneel to me if you have nothing to do in the future, I don't like kneeling. Tell me, what happened from last night to now? Is someone missing again?"
Lan Die raised her head abruptly, and blurted out: "You know?"
Yan Mo also just guessed casually, and he was not happy when he heard that the guess came true, "How many people are missing? When did you find out? Has anyone gone out to find them? Does anyone know why they disappeared?"
Because Dahe and Landie are guarding Yan Mo, they are not completely clear about the details. Yan Mo didn't know what he wanted to know until he saw Chief Hao.
Hao looked a little tired, "Last night, all the soldiers who were in charge of guarding the second half of the night near the forest side were missing, and other soldiers went to replace them in the morning and found out that they had a rest."
"How many people in total?" Yan Mo asked.
"Heng said that there are twenty-four people in total, including two third-level fighters, and the rest are second-level fighters."
"It's all because you want to go this way! You and Da Zha want to destroy our tribe!" The old priest who used the Yuan Wang to find someone three times in a row in two days had bloodshot eyes, and when he saw Yan Mo, he seemed to pounce on him Like him.
"Qiu Shi!" He shouted at the old priest and asked someone to take him down to rest.
The old priest refused to leave and was dragged by the warriors, while shouting half-crazily: "We lost our ancestral land, our warriors were tempted by other priests, and the tribe is about to perish! The tribe is gone! The original world is gone! Great God Kama Punishment will definitely come down! Clansmen of Heiyuan, open your eyes, the blood of the tribe has been stained, the souls of warriors of the tribe have died, the ancestors of Heiyuan are roaring! Kill this priest, our warriors will die Will be back! Kill him!"
Yan Mo suddenly showed a little admiration for this old man. Most people are a little bit self-aware, and they don't touch eggs like this. The most important thing is to spare no effort to trouble him constantly, this spirit is really... !
Yan Mo looked around at the expressions of the people around him, the old man's words still affected many people, especially the Heiyuan people.
Hao looked at him with apologetic eyes.
"Heh." Yan Mo chuckled, the old man thought he wanted the entire Yuanji Tribe, but in fact, even the greedy Yuan Zhan didn't intend to take them all in.
Is Jiuyuan so easy to advance
Without competition and comparison, how can we show that Jiuyuan is good
And if Jiuyuan wants to develop better, and if Jiuyuan's fighters want to be stronger, they must have all kinds of neighbors.
Born in sorrow, died in peace. Although Yuan Zhan didn't know this sentence, he had never even heard of it, but his warrior instinct made him make similar thinking and arrangements, and the crisis of Yuan Ji gave him a chance to realize his ideas.
"After the Yuanji Tribe migrated to the vicinity of Jiuyuan, I will not interfere with how you develop. Even if all your people choose to stay in the Yuanji Tribe, I don't care, as long as you remember to fulfill your original promise." Yan Mo smiled He said to Hao with a non-smile.
Hao was silent for a while, then he said hesitantly: "It may be a little early to say this, but... I hope you can understand that after arriving in Jiuyuan, we will not exchange the warriors and women of the tribe in a short time. Salt, not for at least five years."
"Can."
"The exchange price of red salt is something we can afford, if..."
Yan Mo smiled, "Don't worry, we in Jiuyuan have always been honest in doing business, and everyone pays the same price." No wonder.
Hao barely understood, with a smile on his face, "I told Da Da about these things, but he said that these things in the tribe are all up to you to decide."
Yan Mo snorted coldly in his heart, that animal was really cunning, afraid that they would make excessive demands on him on the grounds that they were from the same tribe, so they simply pushed it all on him.
Yuan Zhan and Hin led the team out to find someone, and they didn't come back until night.
"We have been looking for that outlet, we have searched all over the edge of the forest, but we can't find anyone." Yuan Zhan said while biting the barbecue.
"No trace at all?"
"No."
"You didn't see anything either?"
Yuan Zhan shook his head.
Yan Mo felt strange, not to mention Yuan Zhan, Hide, Diao and others are very experienced hunters, they live by hunting wild animals, and they should be the best at finding traces in the wild, but they didn't find the identity of the twenty-eight people. a trace
"Have you entered the forest yet?"
Yuan Zhan swallowed the roast meat in his mouth, and said: "I think the air vent is the most suspicious, so I went in there to search, but there are too many trees inside, and I almost lost my way on the ground. The more I go inside, the more trees there are." , when I couldn't go any further, I withdrew. But... "
"But what?"
Yuan Zhan bit off the animal bone with a click, and sucked the marrow inside. He took a mouthful and handed the rest to Yan Mo.
Yan Mo took it, poked it with his homemade long chopsticks, and poured all the edible part into his mouth without any waste.
He handed back the rest that he couldn't suck to Yuan Zhan.
Yuan Zhan took it, clicked the thickest part, ate the last bit of bone marrow, and then threw away the broken bone in his hand.
"But those trees are weird." Yuan Zhan wiped his mouth and continued: "When I went in, I left marks on those trees, but when I came out, I wanted to go back the same way, but I couldn't find the ones that I had carved. Trees. I only found two in the end, but they both pointed in the wrong direction, and it felt like…”
"Like those trees are alive? Are they all out of place?"
"Yes! If I hadn't gone underground, I might have been trapped in that forest and couldn't get out. But even underground is not safe, the roots of those trees will entangle people, I have to go down to the deep to avoid open them."
Yan Mo didn't ask Yuan Zhan how he found the right direction in the completely invisible underground, because he had asked before, and Yuan Zhan couldn't tell why, he only knew that he would subconsciously know where to go when he got to the ground.
"Did you ask if anyone heard the singing last night?"
"Huh?" Yuan Zhan stopped reaching for the second piece of barbecue.
Yan Mo got up, slowly turned to the direction of the forest, put his palms behind his ears, and said softly: "Listen, the singing is coming again."
Yuan Zhan held his breath, his ears expanded to the extreme, but he still didn't hear anything.
Yan Mo watched Yuan Zhan shaking his head at him, and he didn't intend to act rashly, even if he was so curious about the singing.
But at this moment, something suddenly hit him in his lower abdomen.
Ok? Yan Mo pressed his hand on his abdomen, and something round protruded there again and pressed against his palm.
You finally reacted!
For more than half a month, Yan Mo never forgot the weird fruit that got into his body, but after the thing got into his body, there was no reaction, no pain, no itching, he scanned his body with a scanner in the laboratory He didn't find that thing. He didn't believe in evil, so he cut open his abdomen with a scalpel and checked carefully, but he still didn't find that thing.
Why does this fruit react at this time
Could it be related to that mysterious song? But why didn't it move last night
Yan Mo tentatively turned around and walked towards the tent, the fruit obviously bumped him again, but the position was changed to the right side of the abdomen, and his right side was facing the forest.
"Mo?" Yuan Zhan jumped up, first looking around vigilantly.
Yan Mo turned around again, faced the forest, and walked a few steps forward. This time, the fruit pushed him again, but it was a little to the right of the navel.
Yuan Zhan stared at him, but did not interrupt him.
After several experiments, Yan Mo gradually grasped the rules, and the thing actually pointed out the direction in his stomach.
It wants to go into the forest, why
Where did that song come from? Who is singing
Is there any relationship between the missing twenty-eight soldiers and the singing
Although Yan Mo didn't want to make too much trouble, these three questions in his mind were like hooks to him.
Especially the reaction of the fruit.
He can ignore the twenty-eight missing soldiers, he can ignore the singing, but he can't ignore his body.
Since you want to go, go and see it!
