"You are like the slaves I bought."
Yuan Zhan's words changed the face of the Yanshan patriarch who wanted to rely on the affection he had known in the past to win more benefits for the Yanshan tribe.
"And because of you, Jiuyuan suffered heavy losses! If it wasn't for saving you, we wouldn't have to tear ourselves apart with Moore, let alone fight with them. Now we have to find a way to go back to Jiuyuan. And if It’s not because we came here to pick you up, and we don’t need to go this long way, but now it’s because of you that we offended the son of Chief Morgan.”
The patriarch Yanshan was speechless, because what Yuan Zhan said was the truth.
"So how are you going to compensate me?"
Patriarch Yanshan was anxious, "My lord, that's not what you said at the time! Heiqi and your envoys came over and said that as long as we rely on you, our clan will not be slaves, and you can also guarantee that our patriarch and priests can Become the elder of Jiuyuan, and our clansmen can enjoy everything they enjoy just like Yuanji people."
"When did I agree to this? Ermeng! Heiqi! You two come here!"
He leaned over and shook his head, "I didn't say that, I just said that Jiuyuan will help them, but they need to pay a sufficient price. At that time, the patriarch discussed with their priests and elders and told me that the Yanshan tribe They will all belong to Jiuyuan."
Yuan Zhan sneered, "Did you hear that? Didn't you agree to be our Jiuyuan's slaves?"
"No... Heiqi?" The patriarch Yanshan looked at Heiqi with hope in his eyes.
Hei Qi was ashamed, he only told the patriarch and the priest that there was this possibility, but Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo did not actually agree to them.
Seeing Hei Qi's expression, what else does Yuan Zhan not understand? This guy probably talked a lot about the beautiful prospects that moved the people of the Yanshan clan, but the prospect is a prospect after all, and the patriarch took it as a natural preferential treatment, which is very funny.
"I remember very clearly that Heiqi asked my priest and me how we would arrange things when you came over. At that time, my priest gave him a promise, saying that as long as you are willing to join Jiuyuan, we will help you. But later What? Huh? Your elders have informed Morgan! As a result, we could have left safely, but now we are trapped here! There is also one less tribe that can be traded, disrupting all our plans in Jiuyuan!"
Yuan Zhan suddenly changed his face when he said this, "Under such circumstances, do you want to join Jiuyuan without paying any price? Even if I can agree, the people of Jiuyuan will not agree! Patriarch Yanshan, I will ask you now Word: Do you want to belong to Jiuyuan, or not?"
"Of course we want to return to... join Jiuyuan, but I hope..."
"What do you want? Do you want to keep your patriarchs and elders and your bloodline? Do you want your priests not to be killed?"
"Yes! Also, you can't make us slaves. If Jiuyuan must make us slaves, we would rather..."
"What would you rather? Die? Are you threatening me?"
"No! Of course not!" Patriarch Yanshan found that this former warrior and current leader of Jiuyuan was even more arrogant and fearsome than Qi Hao, the chief's son of Mogan.
They have been in this valley for many days. Although the leader and his priest have not been in contact with them, they have not troubled them. This made them feel terrified, but at the same time thankful. They thought that the two were relatively slow. Teng's temper.
Yuan Zhan sat on a chair he made casually, with a lazy expression, "There are no slaves in Jiuyuan, you don't have to worry about turning into miserable slaves when you go back to Jiuyuan, but you must pay off your debts to me in Jiuyuan, don't worry, It won't be worse than the life you are living now, maybe it will be much better. But first, you have to hand over the team to my subordinate Shengu."
Everyone in the Yanshan clan lowered their heads, the patriarch and the priest looked at each other, the patriarch wanted to say something, the priest who was over fifty years old shook his head lightly.
But the head of the Yanshan clan, who was in his prime in his thirties, looked around at the clansmen present, and gritted his teeth, "I want to see your priest."
Yuan Zhan seems to have expected that the patriarch of Yanshan would say this, "Why do you have to meet my priest? Because he is soft-hearted? Do you think that if you beg him, he will forgive your debts? I can tell you directly, that's not right. possible!"
The patriarch of Yanshan insisted, "Chief Zhan, we only want to meet your priest. If your priest also insists that we must hand over the clan, then..."
Yuan Zhan suddenly sneered, "Because that woman named Heixiang insisted that my priests are from your Yanshan tribe? She even went to you for this? And you actually believed it?"
Everyone in the Yanshan tribe doesn't believe it, but this is also a hope, if it is true...
When they got the news, they pressed Hei Qi, but Hei Qi only said that they just looked alike, and they couldn't be the same person.
Yuan Zhan seemed to be bored, and got up from the stone chair, "It doesn't matter who my priest is or whether he is really a member of your tribe, even if it is, it will not change any facts. Remember to hand over the team to Shengu later, Other non-combatants are under the jurisdiction of Ding Ning, if I see your clan get together again instead of following orders, you will only have two choices."
What are the two options
Is there even a question
Everyone in the Yanshan tribe understood that Yuan Zhan was asking them to choose whether to die or be handed over to the Mogans.
At this point, of course they want to survive, but once the team is handed over and dispersed, the Yanshan clan will really disappear.
Yuan Zhan walked out of the earthen hut, his sharp eyes swept over Hei Qi.
Hei Qi lowered his head, and decided to keep his old lady and Hei Xiang away when he went back!
During Yan Mo's departure, after Yuan Zhan beat the Yanshan tribe, he also made new breakthroughs in his own abilities. Perhaps it should be said that he found an interesting game
Yuan Zhan started to like to go to Xia Yu and the others. Apart from making a lot of pots and pots out of mud himself, he was most interested in observing how the fire kiln fired the mud into the pottery that Yan Mo said.
With the fire kiln, the yield and quality of pottery have improved a lot. Although there are still many broken pieces, some large pieces can already be fired.
Yuan Zhanzai frightened Xia Yu and others for several days—he thought he was observing and studying, and began to think: I have fire and earth in my body, so can I directly burn the mud into pottery, or even porcelain
Didn't Mo say that blocking is worse than sparse
Before Mo told him that porcelain was so hard that it could be used as a weapon to a certain extent, and its defense power was higher than the Jiuyuan city wall they built now, so he wanted to try to use the fire energy in his body, but both he and Mo were worried. Excessive use of the divine blood ability will cause the energy of the divine blood stone in his body to go berserk, making it impossible to suppress that huge power.
But now, with the two eighth-level and one ninth-level earth crystals that Youmo gave him before he left, if something goes wrong, he can completely suppress the volcano in his body by absorbing the energy of the original crystals. He is no longer afraid of that destructive force. Violent energy, even dare to guide it, let it be used by oneself!
Originally, Yuan Zhan was a bold person. After gaining support, he became more than just bold. He started to try directly when he had an idea.
I won't go into details about the process, nothing can be successful from the very beginning. In just three days, he consumed all the three high-level crystals that Mo left for him! He almost died from the energy runaway!
If it hadn't been for the mandrill fighting him desperately to vent out the rampant energy in his body, he might not even have time to absorb the last piece of ninth-level earth crystal.
After this fight, brother Mandrill's attitude towards him has changed more obviously, perhaps because he feels that the opponent's strength is not weaker than his own, and he may even kill him if he goes crazy. Brother Mandrill no longer looks at him with his nostrils, but treats him He had a brotherly feeling of sympathy, which was reflected in the fact that he came to fight with him when he had nothing to do.
And Yuan Zhan is even more happy! It wasn't because this fight made him fully prove that he was no weaker than the mandrill, but the main reason was that when he attacked brother mandrill with an earthen arrow, he accidentally activated the fire energy in his body to burn the earthen arrow.
Although the process was fast, he didn't have time to realize it carefully, and the soil arrow also shattered before it flew far because of the improper calcination method. gap.
With a gap, he will finally lift the cover completely in the future!
On the morning of the tenth day after Yan Mo left, Yuan Zhan was patiently mobilizing the fire energy in his body to calcine a small earth ball.
A warning horn sounded suddenly in the distance.
This is the message from the person in charge of reconnaissance from high places outside.
Yuan Zhan carefully withdrew the fire energy, stood up holding the scorched mud ball, and asked Shen Gu who was running over: "Who's here? Moore is in the team?"
"No!" Shen Gu turned his head and pointed to the eastern sky, "Leader, look!"
At the same time, Ermeng's fussy shouts also came over: "Great battle! Your Excellency! Look at the sky! What is that?"
The people in the valley raised their heads together.
Compared with other places in the forest, the sky in the valley has a wide view, but it is still somewhat blocked.
Everyone opened their mouths wide and stared stupidly at the giant in the sky.
For a while, none of them could see what it was, only knew that it looked like the skeleton of some kind of creature.
But is there such a large biological skeleton in this world
Most importantly, can bones fly in the sky
Or the snake people are more knowledgeable, Bai Yan looked up for a while, then asked in surprise: "Is that a bone vessel?"
The huge bone bird flitted over the valley, and it seemed that its destination was an open space by the river
He murmured fiercely, "God Ancestor, did this come out silently? Why do I think it was him who made it! Great War, do you think it will..."
Turning his head suddenly, he realized that the leader behind him had already disappeared.
How could Meng let go of this commotion, he immediately raised his leg, a gust of wind blew by, and this person also ran away.
By the river, Yan Mo came out of the bone bird's belly, and saw Yuan Zhan rushing towards him at a glance.
However, Meng's speed was much faster than Yuan Zhan's. He walked behind him and still arrived before him. When he saw Yan Mo, he rushed over...to the huge bone bird behind him.
"Mo Da! I knew it was you! What is this? It's so big! Is it the skeleton of Father Jiufeng?"
"Pfft!" A wind blade shot out from the top of Yan Mo's head. My dad is alive and well! "Jie!"
"Master Jiufeng!" He screamed fiercely, and the hair on his scalp lost a row in an instant.
Yan Mo suppressed a smile, and gave Meng this new hairstyle a thumbs up, "It matches you very well."
He rubbed his head violently and cried loudly.
"Jie! Idiot Ermeng! That's a giant firebird! It's our human-faced Kunpeng's food!" Jiufeng proudly flew over Mengmeng's head and uncivilly dropped a mine.
He suddenly felt a heat on the top of his head, and something thinly slid down his scalp and dripped... and immediately rushed into the big river.
Jiufeng let out a wicked laugh, and flew to the river to continue bullying Ermeng.
Yuan Zhan ran over, didn't look at the huge bone bird behind Yan Mo, but grabbed the boy's hand first, "I thought it would take some time for you."
Yan Mo pretended to smile lightly, "I said I'll be back soon, I'll be back soon."
Yuan Zhan suddenly became very happy and laughed, "How about Jiuyuan? What request did the envoy of the Three Cities make?"
Yan Mo replied arrogantly with three words: "I don't know."
Yuan Zhan was stunned, "You didn't go back to Jiuyuan?"
"No."
Yuan Zhan wanted to say that your heart is really generous, but thinking that maybe Mo didn't go back to Jiuyuan just to come back sooner, he was happy again.
Yan Mo snorted, grabbed the man's wrist instead, felt his pulse, and looked at him in surprise, "The energy in your body seems to be a little thicker, but it is much more stable than before. What did you do? Did you absorb it again?" A piece of Yuanjing?"
Yuan Zhan coughed, "No."
"What do you mean?"
"I can burn clay directly into pottery."
"Really?" That would be so convenient! Yan Mo was overjoyed, and immediately forgot to ask about Yuan Jing... how is it possible!
"How many yuan crystals have you absorbed?" The young man's face turned into that of a late lady.
Seeing that he couldn't hide, Yuan Zhan had no choice but to tell the truth, "Not much, just three yuan."
"It seems that I gave you three dollars?"
Yuan Zhan nodded.
Yan Mo, "...Fuck! That's two pieces of eighth level and one piece of level nine! Each piece is no smaller than a fist! You actually absorbed it all for me?!"
Yuan Zhan was not happy, "But the energy in my body has become more stable than before, and I also know how to use the energy of the fire-attribute bloodstone, isn't that enough?"
Yan Mo was so distressed that his heart, liver, lungs, spleen and stomach were trembling, "A Zhan, you know, it's really not easy to raise you!"
Just you alone, you have to spend countless high-grade earth element crystals, and you have to use two sacred blood stones! By the way, there is also a soul-returning pill made of Lao Tzu's flesh and blood!
Prodigal Zhan groaned twice, and took a bite.
Yan Mo was upset, and kicked him away, "Are the second batch of people ready to leave? Let them hurry over and go back to Jiuyuan! This time, bring all the fourth-level and fifth-level fighters, the giant fire bird It can accommodate up to five hundred people at a time."
"If all the mid-level fighters leave, the people left here will not be safe." Yuan Zhan took a bite before letting go.
"You stay! Follow the last batch."
When Yan Mo felt sorry for the large number of "wasted" high-level Yuanjing and thought about where to get it back, Jiuyuan and the envoys of the Three Cities also reached the point where they couldn't stop arguing and were about to fight.
He still looks calm on the surface, and he is still decisive and powerful in dealing with things, but only he knows that he has a headache, and the pain is so painful that he can't help pleading with the ancestor god, begging him to let Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo come back sooner.
This is the case, not to mention others.
Before encountering absolute power, no strategy is useless, especially when others have richer life experience and smarter than you.
When they said that the slaves who use Jiuyuan need Yuanjing coins, and that they need Yuanjing coins to build a house on their Jiuyuan land, including hunting and predating in Jiuyuan, one of the three envoys of the Three Cities, The person named Burns directly said that he would use Yuanjing coins to buy the land where they are now building a house.
Of course, Jiuyuan disagreed. Pence said that he would not allow people to enter the city or live outside. Or open the city gate to welcome the three of them into the city!
He couldn't see the strength of the three of them at all. The three envoys didn't have warrior tattoos on their faces, but they, although Mo Da came up with a way to cover up the tattoos, but everyone was used to having tattoos on their faces, and they didn't bother to cover them up. Just expose your strength to the envoys of the Three Cities.
But although the three envoys had no tattoos, the high-level fighters could always feel the weakness of the low-level fighters, and the low-level fighters could also feel the coercion of the high-level fighters. Everyone is stronger than Jiuyuan people.
Jiuyuan's high-level officials were uneasy, and the people below were even more uneasy.
Everyone is afraid of the envoys from the Three Cities entering Jiuyuan, especially those women who have just been here for more than half a year.
Helpless, he had no choice but to seek the support of high-level fighters from the mermaid clan. Ramon replied as a representative: "Our cooperation with Jiuyuan has always been a way of being hired. If you want our high-level fighters to help you accept the challenge from the envoy , then you must pay.”
"How many?"
"A level-six blood warrior accepts a challenge, life or death, six hundred catties of refined red salt. Level seven, seven thousand catties."
"What?! Why did it rise so much at once?"
Ramon said that he can't do anything about it, this is the requirement set by their great witch, "Although there is only one level difference between the seventh-level blood warrior and the sixth level, it is actually the difference between the intermediate level and the advanced level. Our great witch said that if you don't look For Mo's sake, he would never agree to allow our warriors to help humans challenge other humans."
Although this is the case, it still feels that the mermaid tribe is taking advantage of the fire.
Ramon apologized all over his face, "Our big witch said that the three envoys of Tianchao City are almost at the beginning of the seventh level, and they are all blood fighters. If you want to completely suppress them, you must send out fighters at the seventh level and close to the eighth level. You have to have a lot of combat experience, and seven thousand catties of refined red salt is really not expensive."
He rubbed his temples fiercely, "The amount is too big, I can't make a decision, or I can order six hundred catties first, and wait for our leader and priest to return, and then discuss it with you big witches in detail?"
"Our big witch said that we can't bargain."
He scolded his mother in his heart, "I can't make a decision yet, I will reply to you after discussing with everyone."
The time for negotiation was very short and urgent. The envoys from the three cities demanded that they start the challenge tomorrow. If they refused to challenge, they would treat Jiuyuan as surrender and directly enter Jiuyuan to accept the city.
The people of Jiuyuan are going to die of worry!
No one can think of a good way to face the powerful enemy who is pressing on the door.
Wu Chen also found that his little cleverness was almost useless when he encountered a powerful enemy, but he was not discouraged, and was still trying to figure out how to delay the time until his master came back.
"Didn't I see Lord Jiufeng come back last time? The leader and the priest haven't come back yet? How long will it take for them to come back?" The anxious warrior leaders slapped the table.
"Where is it fierce? When will Mo Da come back, at least he will come back and pass on a message!"
"I said that the leader and the priest shouldn't be allowed to go out together. At least if we stay, we won't..."
"Enough!" He slapped the table angrily, "What's the use of saying this now? The leader and the priest don't know when they will be back. Tomorrow, Pence will challenge us. We dare to fight, but we can't afford to lose! Those two If the seat is not here, we must guard the city even more. If they come back and find that the city is lost, what face do we have to face the priest? Do you think you can agree to the employment conditions of the mermaid?"
When Xie asked this question, he was looking at Dashan. Dashan and Mosquito were in charge of refining the most secret red salt. Ask them how much red salt the tribe can produce.
Da Shan shook his head slowly, "Qiqianjin, if the priest is here, he will never agree."
"But the problem is that we don't have any high-level fighters to suppress the three cities!"
"Everyone go up together and fight with them!"
"Yes! Fight them!"
A female voice suddenly broke into the angry roar: "To be honest with the three messengers, the leader and the priest have not returned. The challenge must be agreed by them. The messenger dared to enter the city because he wanted to fight. Wait for the leader and the priest to come back." My lord is back, bloody revenge!"
Sand Wolf Jiuyuan didn't speak very smoothly, but everyone understood what she meant.
He thought about it again and again, "The high-level fighters from the mermaid still need to hire one, otherwise they really want to capture Jiuyuan regardless, and we will suffer a lot of casualties."
Da Shan frowned, "But we can't afford seven thousand catties of red salt."
"Agree first and then talk. You can make an agreement with the mermaid first. If you don't make a move, it will be another price."
"That's the only way, I hope to frighten those three envoys!"
The three of Ye He were not intimidated at all, and Pence directly proposed to challenge three games, with two wins in three games to determine the outcome.
Jiuyuan Shu opened the gate of Jiuyuan City to welcome the envoys in, and Jiuyuan was owned by Tianzhu City from then on.
Jiuyuan wins, and the three will continue to wait outside the outer moat for the return of the Jiuyuan leader and priest.
"Besides, before the challenge, I would like to ask all of you from Jiuyuan, why did you send mermaid fighters? Does Jiuyuan belong to the mermaid tribe? Or does the mermaid tribe belong to the Jiuyuan tribe?"
