In the middle reaches of the big river, Mogan is about 100 kilometers down the roadside.
"My lord, the smell of the tracer powder is here. We have searched carefully in the vicinity, but we have not found any traces of the high priest and his guarding soldiers, but we found that the high priest may have used it under a very hidden stone by the river. The bag containing Yuanjing coins, thanks to the tracer sable, otherwise we would not have found it. I think this is likely to be a clue left by the high priest on purpose." The scout presented the cloth bag.
The guard beside Zhefei took the bag, and Zhefei asked, "Have you opened it?"
The scout nodded, "There are Yuanjing coins inside, and a few strange materials."
Zhe Fei took the cloth bag, opened it, and dumped all the contents on the stone.
The Yuanjing coin is shining in the sun, besides the Yuanjing coin, there are two strange non-stone and non-bone things, the shape looks like some kind of jewelry, the surrounding is dark, and the middle is bright.
Zhe Fei picked up the two pieces of jewelry and looked at them carefully, and even bit them in his mouth, but his guards couldn't stop them.
"This thing belongs to Morgan?" Zhe Fei asked.
The scout shook his head, "I arrested and tortured some Morgans, and they said that Morgans didn't have this kind of thing, but one of the slaves told me that he saw a tribe wearing such jewelry at the spring market. .”
"Which tribe?"
"The slave doesn't know too well, my lord, are we going to enter Moor for a visit?"
Philip disapproved and said: "Morgan is attached to the city of Zhongyong in the lower city. The city of Zhongyong serves a different city than ours. If we go directly to the door, it is likely to attract people from the city of Valor."
Zhe Fei rubbed the surface of the copper ornament, not knowing what he was thinking.
"grown ups?"
Zhe Fei raised his hand, "We can't let the people of Valor City know that our high priest is dead, but we can go to Morgan and ask about the origin of this jewelry. Fei Li, you can handle this matter."
"Yes!" Feili hesitated to speak. He really wanted to ask Zhe Fei what he said after meeting the leader of Jiuyuan, and why his general didn't intend to avenge them, but let them temporarily Don't confront Jiuyuan
Speaking of the leader of Jiuyuan, Fei Li pursed his lips. The warrior mark on the man's face also disappeared. He thought that even if the man could restrain the warrior mark, his divine blood ability would not exceed level five. This was an overestimate. After all, he had just escaped from Jiuyuan Less than a year.
But the moment he saw that person, he felt a majestic energy that should not belong to low-level fighters at all, and the coercion that belonged to high-level fighters almost made him breathless.
After that, the leader of Jiuyuan walked around Jiuyuan with their general Zhefei. The general didn't let them approach, and no one knew what they said.
Two days later, Philip was personally sent out of the tribe by the Morgan chieftain and priests.
Philip told Zhe Fei the news he found.
"Dingyue Tribe? Know how to refine copperware?" Zhe Fei played with copper ornaments.
Fei Li's face was solemn, "I heard from the Morgans that this kind of copper weapon is very powerful and easier to refine than bone weapons."
"Where's Ding Yue?"
"Let's go. I heard that they are looking for the mermaid. Their chief seems to want to get the elixir from the mermaid."
"Mermaid? Longevity medicine?" Zhe Fei had a sneer-like sneer on his face, "The chief of the Dingyue tribe is quite ambitious."
"Then where did their ambition come from?" Philip speculated, "Only relying on that kind of copperware? How could they refine copperware? Who helped them? My lord, did the legendary fruit of witch luck fall on the tripod?" In the hands of the Dingyue tribe? If this is the case, then it is not surprising that the high priest and his soldiers were killed. The high priest must have tracked down that the fruit of witch luck was in the hands of the Dingyue people, and the Dingyue people wanted to keep them. In order to keep the secret of the fruit of the witch luck, the high priest was... "
Zhe Fei, "The Dingyue tribe is in the lower reaches of the river?"
"right."
"Go and see."
"My lord, winter has come..."
"Go to Ding Yue."
In a blink of an eye, deep winter has arrived.
With the heavy snow and poor vision, Yan Mo had no choice but to let the bone bird land.
"Just now I seem to see a cave, just around here." Bing pointed to the south.
Yuan Zhan walked out of the bone bird, pulled up the scarf used to block the wind and snow from around his neck, covered his mouth and nose, only his eyes were exposed.
"Go over and have a look, be careful." Yuan Zhan ordered Ding Ning Ding Fei who came out behind him.
The two brothers nodded, wrapped up their fur coats, and walked towards the direction pointed by the ice against the wind and snow.
As soon as Yuan Zhan turned his head, he saw Bing carrying a bow and arrow and quiver, and turned around angrily.
Bing ignored him.
Yan Mo followed Da Da and finally came out of the bone bird. From head to toe, his whole body was almost covered with fur, so he still felt a bit chilly, especially his toes were so cold.
He wasn't so cold last winter, this unlucky old man's body!
Bing walked to Yan Mo's side, frowned and said: "Don't you look at your current body, put on your hat!"
Yan Mo smiled and put on the fur hat.
As soon as Da Da came out of the bone bird, he transformed into a Da Da beast, walked to Yan Mo who put away the bone bird, opened his mouth and bit the corner of his robe, "Aw!"
"Speak human." Yan Mo patted him on the head.
"Aw!"
Yuan Zhan turned his head, "Stop playing! You sit on Da Da, the wind and snow are too strong, you should be careful not to sink into the snowdrift."
Answer Beast opened its mouth again and pulled the hem of his robe, Yan Mo surrendered, "Okay, okay, I know, I'll sit up right now." He's not used to it.
Jiu Feng poked his small head out of Yan Mo's arms, and retracted with a "Jie". Although he has feathers and is not cold, he still likes to stay in his silent arms.
Yan Mo looked at the heavy snow, rubbed his hands, and breathed out, "Maybe we should come out again in spring."
"Didn't Wu Guo say that his avatar has been found? If we continue to stay in Jiuyuan, the possibility of exposure will be greater. It will be safer for Jiuyuan if we leave now." Yuan Zhan walked back to Yan Mo and squeezed the ice away. .
Bing automatically bypassed him and walked to the other side of Yan Mo.
"I know." After only a few words, Yan Mo felt that his mouth was going to be numb from the cold, and he couldn't speak clearly.
The whirring of horns came from the snowstorm.
Yuan Zhan, "The front looks safe, let's go."
Da Da stepped on the snow with light limbs, and even ran faster than Yuan Zhan with a person on his back.
Yuan Zhan didn't see any changes in the soles of his feet, but he walked in the snow as usual.
Bing walked hard, but he didn't want to ask Yuan Zhan for help, so he pushed forward with one foot shallow and one deep.
"Ah Zhan!" Yan Mo shouted back.
There is an extra sled under the ice, so he no longer has to worry about getting stuck in the snow when he walks.
Yuan Zhan tugged at Bing's collar, dragged him along and sarcastically said, "What do you mean you have to come out with me? The tribe needs you, but we don't. Look, you can't even walk when you come out!"
Bing retorted: "As the leader, if you don't stay in the tribe, protect and develop the tribe, what's the point of running behind the priest? And how do you know I'm useless? Who saw that cave in the snowy sky just now? Besides You are not young anymore, it is time to find a woman in the tribe to give birth to a son who can inherit your divine blood, and winter is the best time to have a baby."
"Mo is my woman."
"Do you dare to say that loudly in front of him?"
Yuan Zhan... found that he really seemed a little afraid. He must have dared before, but why didn't he dare now? But even if he didn't dare to say it, he still had a way to hit the young man in front of him.
Yuan Zhan stopped, pulled Bing in front of him, and whispered proudly: "Mo already has my children in her stomach, or two!"
Bing, "...fuck! I don't believe it!"
At this moment, Yuan Zhan is like a male leopard who has defeated the enemy and won the right to mate, with his head held high, he doesn't even explain to his defeated subordinates any extra words.
Bing, "I, no, believe it!" If the priest can really have a child, he will have one with the priest, no matter what the price is.
The wind and snow were heavy, and Yan Mo sat on Da Da's back and didn't hear the voices behind him. He only looked back occasionally to see that the two were walking together in harmony, and neither of them got lost, so he didn't care about them any more. Zhan that animal hates ice from toe to hair, but he will not really throw ice on the road. Bing, on the other hand, is a person who cares about the overall situation. He may not be very likable, but he also has his advantages, especially once he is loyal, he will not betray easily.
But Bing took the initiative to say that he would come out with them this time, and he was still surprised.
Bing's reason is that his bloodline ability needs to be tempered, but he basically cannot get the opportunity to exercise in the tribe, and most of the warriors awakened at the same time as him have surpassed him in level, so he needs to go out to sharpen and break himself. bottleneck opportunities.
Yan Mo thought of Bing's ability, and felt that there would be many places where it would be useful, and the force value of the leader of the picket group should not be too weak, so he agreed.
Fortunately, Bing managed his picket team very well. Even if he left, his specially trained deputy and other members of the picket team could manage the tribal security well. At the beginning, the old priest Qiushi chose Bing to replace the injured Yuan Zhan Becoming the heir of the third-generation chief is not only because of Bing's blood, Bing's own ability is insufficient, and Hao and Ji will not agree to train him.
Having said that, it was not just Bing who went out this time, many soldiers and even the leaders of the soldiers came out with them, and were beaten back one by one by Yuan Zhan. Only Bing, who had been beaten, still had a bruised face, ignored Yuan Zhan's disgust, and applied to follow him again.
For this reason, Yuan Zhan went to the picket team to "inspect" for two days, and after returning, he no longer insisted on refusing to follow Bing.
Yan Mo collected his attention, and not far away, he could already see a figure standing at the entrance of the cave and waving.
Answer to speed up the pace.
It was Ding Ning who stood at the entrance of the cave to greet them.
Yan Mo was surprised by Yuan Zhan and Bing who had caught up: "This cave is not very big, how did you see it from the sky?"
Bingzhi pointed to his eyes, "Although it is not as good as other leaders, my bloodline ability has been upgraded to the second level."
Yan Mo sighed, "I'm looking forward to your future development. I think your ability will continue to develop. In the future, you may have the ability of clairvoyance like the old priest Qiushi. Wait for me to discuss your ability with you carefully in the next two days. Then see how to exercise in a targeted manner.”
Bing raised his right fist and put it on his chest to salute, Yuan Zhan threw him at the entrance of the cave, patted him and told him to go in quickly.
With a flick of his hair, he crossed over to Yuanzhan and rushed into the cave with Yan Mo on his back.
Ding Fei had already raised a fire in the cave. Before he came out, his divine blood ability had been upgraded to level two. Although he and his twin brother could not perform their abilities as powerfully as Wu Chen and Ye Xing, the two of them interacted with each other. With the touch bonus, Wu Chen and the others couldn't beat them alone.
Ding Fei is different from his brother who can burst sparks directly, he needs tools to make flames. For example, others need to strike a flint and stone many times before they can produce a little spark, but he can produce a large spark with one light blow, but the spark cannot last long. And if he rubs two logs against each other, it takes only one rub to set both logs on fire.
Ding Fei was very frustrated at first, and even felt that his blood was not as strong as his brother's, but after he entered the second level, he found that as long as he had something flammable at hand, he could create a big fire, which was better than his brother's. Even bigger, which made him very excited.
"Where did these firewood come from?" Yan Mo got off Da Da.
Ding Fei raised his head, "It's in this cave, it might have been thrown here by the nearby aborigines."
Yan Mo didn't sit down, but looked into the cave while brushing off the snow, "This cave looks very big, have you gone inside and seen it?"
"No, it's relatively deep inside. I didn't go in when I heard the sound of running water. Do you want to go in and have a look?"
Yuan Zhan, who came in with Bing and Ding Ning, said, "No, we'll just rest here for the night. If the wind and snow stop tomorrow, we'll continue on our way. If the wind and snow doesn't stop, then we'll talk."
"Jie, the wind and snow will not stop tomorrow, and it will rain for another five or six days." Jiu Feng came out of Yan Mo's arms.
Yan Mo told Yuan Zhan Jiufeng's prediction.
"Bing, follow me in later to have a look. Ding Ning Ding Fei, Da Da, you stay here to protect Mo."
"Wait, let's go in together. If we want to stay here for five or six days, the entrance of the cave is still not good. It's too cold. Let's look inside to see if there is a drier and warmer place."
Yuan Zhan pressed the old man Yan's shoulder, lowered his head and asked him, "Are you tired?"
Yan Mo smiled and pushed him away, "Fortunately, although my body is getting older, my mental strength seems to be stronger than before. Although I am a little tired after flying the bone bird for a day, it's not just that I can't walk."
Yuan Zhan grabbed his hand, "Your hands are frozen, you were never so afraid of the cold before."
"The old man is cold."
Da Da wanted to continue reciting Yan Mo, Yan Mo shook his hand, "I feel warmer after walking, I can't bear it anymore, I will tell you."
Yuan Zhan didn't let go of his hand, just held it in his palm.
Ding Ning and Ding Fei got two torches, one was given to Yuan Zhan, but Yuan Zhan didn't want it, so the two brothers gave Bing one. The six of them plus one bird, except for the Ding brothers and Bing, most of them can see in the dark.
Da Da rushed to the front, and Bing held the torch and walked in the second place. Being strong, he already planned in his heart to train his eyes to be able to see in the dark.
Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo were in the middle, and Uncle Jiufeng flew over Da Da's head and followed them to explore the way.
Ding Ning and Ding Fei shared a torch and walked at the end.
The cave looks small from the outside, and only three people can enter side by side, but when they enter the hinterland, they will find that the interior space is not small, and there is an underground river in the cave, and the sound of running water has been accompanying them.
Yan Mo squeezed Yuan Zhan's fingers.
Yuan Zhan turned to look at him.
"I thought you would drive the dwarves out in winter." Yan Mo lowered his voice.
Yuan Zhan sneered, "I don't want them to freeze to death on the way."
"They actually agreed to build the dwarven city so far away."
"Compared to the ruins we gave them, they are willing to go farther, and they would rather stay away from us."
"If the dwarves knew that we didn't plan to let them build a city near the Duofi tribe from the beginning, they probably wouldn't have the idea of taking advantage of us." Yan Mo smiled lowly.
"They are also afraid that we will really let them build a city in the Duofei tribe, so that they will become a barrier between the Duofei tribe and us in the future. They are even more afraid that we will let them take the lead. So if you say, either stay away from us, or go away Sharing the inheritance of the ruins with us, they will naturally be eager to choose the first one."
"I don't know what the people in Tianzhu City will think when they find a dwarf city on the opposite side of the mountain next year?"
Yuan Zhan, "Granmar Mountain is still some distance away from Father God Mountain. We also told the dwarves to let them act in a hidden way. I don't think Tianzhu City will find itself with an unflattering neighbor so quickly. As long as the dwarves People build up the kind of fortress you drew, and it is not easy for the people of Tianzhu City to kill them."
"Yeah, their main city will probably be placed underground, so that even if the enemy destroys the ground fortress, it will not have a big impact on them. And in the future, the dwarves will toss out the paper and start trading between cities. It's harder to move them."
"I hope they will also toss out the wooden utensils." Yuan Zhan looked ahead, and said again: "There are dwarves between us and Tianzhu City, which are much more useful than Duofei tribe between us. The dwarves will borrow us first. We will use our power to contain Tianzhu City, and when the dwarves become stronger, Tianzhu City will also use us to contain the dwarves."
"Similarly, Tianzhu City and the dwarves may also unite." Yan Mo reminded him.
"Will we give them a chance to unite?"
The two insidious guys with a bad stomach looked at each other and smiled.
"Aw!" came a roar from Da Da, who was exploring the way in front.
Yan Mo raised his head.
Yuan Zhan, "What? What did Da Da find?"
Yan Mo, "Answered that there is no road ahead, only a big underground lake."
Bing also stopped in front of her, turned her head and raised her hand to pause behind, "There is only a very narrow stone bridge ahead, Mo Da, I will carry you across."
"I don't need you." Yuan Zhan really wanted to kick the guy in front of him into the darkness, but that guy had good abilities and was loyal enough to Mo, so he had no chance to find a reason to kill him.
There was another roar in front of him, accompanied by Jiu Feng's cheerful cry.
Yan Mo patted Yuan Zhan, "Stop making trouble, Da Da seems to have found something, let's go there quickly."
