"Alpine Cave Clan?" Yan Mo was taken aback when Lie came over and asked if there was a tribe with that name nearby.
"Why, is there a problem with this tribe?" Lie asked quickly.
Yan Mo took out the map again for confirmation, even though he had memorized the nearby tribes by heart.
After clicking on the map, Yan Mo signaled Yuan Zhan and Lie to come and take a look, "I don't know if there is a cave tribe near here, but here..."
Several high-level officials from Jiuyuan and several small groups came together to see the location Yan Mo pointed out, and a circle was drawn there. The names of several tribes were marked in this circle, and the Gaoshan Dong tribe was among them.
Big and small look at each other, isn't this their final destination? The place where the priest said he must go.
"The child said that the neighborhood looks familiar, but there are many similar terrains. Maybe the child remembered it wrong." Lie guessed, and then got up without waiting for Yan Mo's order: "I'll bring that child here."
"Don't scare him." Yan Mo hurriedly ordered.
Hunter left.
Yuan Zhan took the map and said casually, "We don't need that child to lead the way, do we? I don't know if he can remember the way."
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't remember the way, as long as he can remember the exact location of his tribe. These tribes are all in the deep mountains and old forests. It is basically impossible to find them without an acquaintance leading the way."
Yan Mo just thinks that he is very lucky. Although he guessed the approximate location of the ruins, it is deep in the mountains, and the inside is really inaccessible. He and Yuan Zhan are not afraid of danger, but they can't get a little bit on the ground. Looking for it
"There is no energy leakage, and Dobby's scanning function is useless. Wuguo's treasure hunting ability has been temporarily sealed. I don't know how long it will take to search with Jiufeng and us. Although I can ask the local Creatures help, but it's better to have a clearer goal than to find a needle in a haystack."
For this reason, they had secretly collected information everywhere before they went, and learned that there were still several small and medium-sized tribes in that area. The Gaoshan Cave Clan is a relatively large tribe in that area, and they trade some goods with Mucheng.
There may be some small tribes living in the deep forests and high mountains, but these tribes never go out of the mountains, they are no different from savages, and Yan Mo can't get to know them in advance.
He also thought that when he got there, he would try to find the local aborigines first and ask about the situation. He always felt that the local aborigines knew about the relic when Ding Yue discovered it and occupied it.
Unexpectedly, God would help him, even sending him an aborigine from the Gaoshan Cave tribe ahead of time.
Seeing him smiling happily, Yuan Zhan poked his face, "How can you be sure that the local aborigines must know about that relic?"
Yan Mo spread the map on the bedding, "I'm not sure they must know about the ruins, but I think ninety-nine percent of the local natives probably know something about the Dingyue tribe's movements."
"Master, why are you so sure that the local natives know about it?" Xiao Hei and the others asked without understanding.
Yan Mo taught the children: "It would be boring if I told you my judgment directly. Who can analyze it first?"
Dobby was the first to raise his hand, "According to the news we got, the Dingyue Tribe did not operate in that generation ten years ago, so the question is, how did their territory be so far away from that area, how did they know and discover that area?" In the ruins?"
Yan Mo praised: "Good question! Continue."
The little black eyes rolled, and he raised his hand, "Suppose the Gaoshan tribe or some other tribe discovered the ruins, but they don't know the preciousness of the ruins, maybe because they can't survive, maybe because of the traitors, they are in the ruins. Some of the things found in the ruins flowed out through the merchants. The great witch Zheli of the Dingyue tribe has the power of prophecy, and he may have discovered the secrets of the ruins through some special goods brought by the merchants. Maybe go to the mountain tribe There is Ding Yue's caravan. This can explain why Ding Yue has to cross the Nasher Mountains to occupy territories that are not of much use to them at present."
"Well said." Yan Mo always praised his apprentices without hesitation.
Nasher in the Nasher Mountains is said to be a very ancient Aboriginal language, meaning mysterious and terrifying.
The mountain range is located between Mucheng, Shuicheng, and Dingyue. It is a vast forest and mountainous area, extending from the upper reaches of the Jiuyuan River to the lower reaches of the river, like a dragon's spine, almost parallel to the Jiuyuan River. east.
Between the Jiuyuan River and the Nasher Mountains, there are large areas of hills and plains in the middle and lower reaches. The land is too vast. It stands to reason that the Dingyue tribe, who originally lived in the lower plains to the west of the Jiuyuan River, even crossed the river to occupy more fertile land resources. Nor will it be possible to run to the Nasher Mountains in just a few years.
You must know that even Wooden City and Water City, especially Wooden City, which is friendly to plants, dare not easily enter the Nasher Mountains, so that a large piece of virgin forest in the Nasher Mountains has always been unowned.
Holding Wuguo in his arms, Sumen clicked on the map with a branch, "I see. Even before the meeting in Wucheng, Dingyue failed to occupy the Nasher Mountains. Their most frequent activities are only here. A piece of land is less than one-fifteenth of the mountain range. But it is clearly located in the center of the mountain range. If it is a normal occupation, it should develop from the periphery to the inside instead of jumping directly to Innermost."
"Very well, the reasons you mentioned all prove one thing very well, that is, Ding Yue's behavior is very weird. And weird behavior always has its purpose. Ding Yue is willing to pay such a high price, not hesitate to use his life to clear the way, and At the same time, fighting with several local aborigines and occupying this land can only show that this land has greater value and can bring better benefits to Ding Yue." Yan Mo concluded.
Yuan Zhan suddenly interjected, "I think Ding Yue didn't pay much attention to her after occupying the ruins, otherwise she wouldn't bring the bone tools found in the ruins to various tribes for trade."
"I think the Dingyue people must also regret this, so they only traded the bone tools found in the ruins once." Yan Mo smiled, "They should have discovered more powerful weapons such as energy guns later, Only then did I realize how precious that relic is."
"Then we will have a big battle with Ding Yue in the past?" Xiao Hei blinked, "The ruins are so good, they definitely don't want to give up, right?"
"Not necessarily." Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan looked at each other, and Yan Mo said, "Shu Yi told me that they would give up... Hey, don't be jealous!"
Yuan Zhan was very upset, he squeezed his lover's thigh hard, and at the same time asked viciously with his eyes: When did you two meet behind my back, so you did it truthfully!
Yan Mo was pinched so hard that his teeth were grinning, and he was so angry that the wooden needle pierced him all over the face.
"Hedgehog! Mistress has turned into a hedgehog." Several children winked and smiled strangely.
Wu Guo nestled in Su Men's arms, with his small mouth half open, drooling and sleeping soundly. He didn't see his Zhan Dad's face being tied up like a hedgehog.
Su Men was a serious child, he grabbed the small handkerchief sewn on Wu Guo's collar and wiped his mouth for him, then bowed his head and kissed the baby Wu Guo.
Yan Mo saw that the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. His eldest son's mouth has been gnawed countless times by his senior brothers, not to mention the first kiss, maybe more than a hundred kisses.
But Wu Guo himself doesn't mind at all, the older ones don't gnaw on him, but instead he climbs onto people to gnaw on them.
Yuan Zhan has a thick skin, and he is also used to being stabbed. He pulled out the wooden needles one by one, but did not return them to Yan Mo, and confiscated them all, and used them to stab the cubs of his priest.
These little bastards dare to call him Shi Niang, do you think he didn't hear it!
Yan Xiaole was the first to yell loudly and rolled all the way behind Yan Mo.
Xiao Hei also screamed, clutching his buttocks and jumping up.
Dobby Swish Swish Swish's tentacles spun quickly, but in the end, he only paid attention to dodging the wooden needles, but didn't notice Yuan Zhan's big slap, and was hit right on the tree trunk far away.
Su Men didn't escape even holding Wu Guo, and looked at Yan Mo tearfully with the red envelope knocked out on his forehead: Master, what did I do wrong
Wu Guo was even more unlucky. He was soundly asleep when he was hit by a chirp, and his mouth started whining before he even opened his eyes.
Yan Mo rolled up his sleeves and beat someone up, "How old are you? You bully my apprentice all the time!"
"I'm exercising my responsibility as a master to teach them, these brats are spoiled by you." Someone said righteously.
Yan Mo was speechless for a while: It's hard for you to think of the word master.
Dahe, who was sitting on the side, really wanted to ask: If Ding Yue gave up so easily, then is there still a need to go to the ruins? They should have moved all the good things, right
But seeing this family having fun, Dahe put the issue aside, thinking that since these two came out in person, the ruins must still be worth exploring—this is the Jiuyuan people who are always full of mysterious confidence in the priest. typical.
When Luo was brought here, the Jiuyuan Supreme family had returned to "normal".
Luo Xiang was a little stunned by fright, he was dumbfounded, he followed each password and moved, trembling in front of Yan Mo and the others. No matter how Lie told him, Mo Wu just wanted to ask him something.
Luo still wanted to beg Lie, saying that he didn't want to go home and take a look, as long as he was allowed to return to the team, but now he didn't even dare to say this request.
Seeing that Lie didn't stop him, Si also followed.
"You two sit down first." Yan Mo raised his hand to signal.
Xiao Hei diligently gave them two cushions and poured them two glasses of water.
Luo, whose legs became weak from fright, was pushed down on the mat by Xiao Hei, and forced to give him a water glass.
Si clutched the wooden cup tightly and knelt down on the ground. He didn't dare to use the thick and delicate fur cushion.
Seeing that the two were too nervous, Yan Mo motioned for the others to disperse, but the younger ones refused to leave. Su Men was obedient, but he saw that everyone would not leave, so he sat down again.
Yuan Zhan refused to leave.
Lie and Dahe smiled and sat a little further away.
"Your name is Luo, right?" Yan Mo said to the boy with the most kind expression.
Luo nodded silly.
Si bumped him lightly, and Luo hurriedly replied with the loudest voice trembling: "Yes, my lord."
"Don't be nervous, I invite you here not to punish you, but to ask you something." Yan Mo's tone was soothing, as if it could directly soothe people's souls.
Luo suddenly felt that the priest in front of him was not so scary. Originally, Lord Mo Wu was not scary, but he had become instinctive to be afraid of the higher-ups.
Yan Mo looked at Si again, "I remember that you were the leader of the original slave soldiers, and your name was Si, right?"
"Yes, my lord." Si raised his head, before seeing Mo Wu's appearance, he quickly lowered his head. He didn't expect that the high priest could remember him, and even his name.
"Are you also a Gaoshan Cave Clan?"
"No, I am not."
"Then you are worried about this child?"
Si Hou didn't answer, and his body remained still. The presumptuous behavior he followed was light with ten lashes in the past, and he was ready to accept the punishment.
But the young Lord Mo Wu only smiled at him, said "you are fine" and did not express anything else to him, neither punished nor repelled.
Yan Mo began to ask Luo about the Gaoshan Cave Clan, and when he asked that the Clan was attacked and dispersed, he interrogated him in more detail: "Do you remember who attacked you? What characteristics did they have? What weapons were used? "
Luo shook his head in a daze, he was only thinking about running for his life at that time, and he was still young.
Yan Mo saw his uneasiness and nervousness, so he released his soul power to comfort him again, and tried to bring back his past memories.
"Don't be nervous, don't be afraid, good boy, come, breathe in with me... breathe out... well, tell me, how many people are there in your family?"
Xiao Hei stared at Yan Mo's movements, expressions and tone of voice, fascinated.
The others were also all quiet, and Si felt a little strange in this tranquility, and then he saw the teenager beside him close his eyes as if in a dream, and began to describe his past life with a smile.
While the young man was recalling his past life, Ding Yue was withdrawing from the Nasher Mountains.
Shuyi, Zhichun, and the great witch Zheli all came, but Ramona, who was married to Dingyue, was not there. This was once the top secret of Dingyue, and Ramona was not qualified to know it.
"Are you sure you've evacuated everything?" The big witch Zheli confirmed again with concern.
Zhichun Gongzheng replied: "Don't worry, big witch, there is nothing in it. We will peel off all the patterns on the wall that can be peeled off, and destroy all the patterns that cannot be peeled off. In addition, we have smashed the ground and walls to see. , the bottom is solid soil, and there will never be any other things left behind.”
Zhe Li still felt a little uncertain, he always felt that something was missing, but unfortunately he used his prophecy ability many times to see things about the future of this ruined land, but he only saw a white mist.
He didn't dare to use his abilities so capriciously anymore. Among all the divine-blood abilities, the prophecy ability was probably the most unpopular among the gods. Whether it was the first prophecy witch, Wu Xiang, or him, every prophecy required a huge price.
Witch Elephant can no longer prophesy now-no one can be sure about this, but Witch Elephant has said publicly that he will no longer prophesy, so at least he will no longer prophesy publicly. As far as he knew, he was the only one who had the ability to predict and was known in the Eastern Continent.
If even he can't see the future of this ruined place, it can only be said that God doesn't want people to see it.
But this created a question that bothered him so much: Why didn't God want him to see it
The more he couldn't see it, the more uneasy he became.
"Kill all the slaves who know this place, and don't leave any of the natives around here." Li Li was cruel.
Shu Yi frowned, "You just take the slaves back. Those natives don't know anything, and those who know the secrets here are all dead."
Zhe Li shook his head, "Jiuyuan people will find here sooner or later, that silent witch... is too weird, even if he doesn't know that there is a relic here, it's hard to guarantee that he won't hear it from someone. I can't see his future , I can’t see this ruined place, I can’t even see the future of Jiuyuan. I don’t know if this place has been emptied by us, but I don’t want to leave anything for that silent witch and Jiuyuan, even if It is a piece of grass in the land of relics. Instead of keeping those slaves and local aborigines to worry me, it is better to get rid of them all."
As he said that, Li Li raised his head and looked at Shu Yi, with a strange look in his eyes, "Shu Yi, has your heart softened? That weird silent witch has affected you, right?"
Shu Yi didn't answer, he didn't think it was necessary to answer.
However, Zheli felt that Shuyi did not answer because he felt wronged, which made him say the next paragraph: "Shuyi, if nothing happens, you will be the new generation chief of our Dingyue tribe when you go back. Your deeds and judgments will affect the development of the entire tribe. As a great witch, I must remind you: don’t forget that Jiuyuan is the biggest hostile tribe of our Dingyue predicted by the previous generation of witches. And the development of facts also proves that Dai Dawu read it right!"
Zhe Li suddenly became agitated, he clenched his fist and said bitterly: "Our territory was plundered by Jiuyuan! Our chief was killed by them! Our soldiers were publicly humiliated by Jiuyuan! You will never forget these hatreds!"
"Big witch..." Zhichun wanted to reconcile.
Zing Li waved him away and pointed at Shuyi with his scepter, "Do you think I want to kill people? It's Jiuyuan who is forcing us! These slaves, as well as the aborigines living near here, are all because of Jiuyuan's greed to get involved in this place. Only a piece of land will die! I am not the one who killed them, but the people of Jiuyuan! Zhichun, do it!"
Shuyi grabbed Zhichun, his voice was calm, "Dawu, I repeat, it is meaningless to do this. Zhichun, go to serve Dawu, it is getting dark, we have to reach the camp at the foot of the mountain before dark."
"Shu Yi!" Li Li was furious.
Shu Yi turned around, "It will take ten days to get out of the forest. If you have that time to kill people, it's better to maintain your strength."
Zhe Li pressed his forehead, Shu Yi is very good, but there is one thing that is not good, it is extremely difficult for others to shake him for what he believes. He doesn't blame Shuyi for contradicting him in front of Zhichun. Shuyi has this character, and he treats the former chief the same way.
The most important thing is that Shu Yi is currently the strongest in Ding Yue, and also Ding Yue's hope. Dingyue people worship the strong. If other people who want to be chiefs are not as powerful as Shu Yi, even with the support of a great witch like him, other Dingyue high-level and middle-level and high-level fighters will not be willing.
But if Shu Yi refuses to obey even this little order, how will he persuade the other party to accept Princess Ramona after he returns
Ramona is too important to Ding Yue, he can't give up on this princess no matter what. But if Shuyi is unwilling to marry her, how will Ramona deal with herself in Dingyue? The woman of the former chief? The former chief had a son, but it was only the son of the former chief.
Do you want him to give up the position of the great witch to Ramona
Zhe Li was lost in thought, and when he made a decision and came back to his senses, Shu Yi had already taken people away, only knowing that Chun and some guards standing far away were still waiting for him.
"Zhichun," Zhe Li grabbed Zhichun's shoulder.
"Big witch, what are your orders?"
"Kill those slaves and natives, and don't keep any of them."
Zhichun was in a dilemma, but after seeing Zhe Li's cold eyes, he had no choice but to nod—Shu Yi is not yet a chief, but the great witch can make him, one of the little disciples of the great witch, die so badly anytime and anywhere.
One and a half months later, Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan finally arrived at the Nasher Mountains.
Luo, whose ears and genitals have been restored, changed his previous timidity, and with real joy, he pointed to the mountain in front of him that looked like a bull's head and said quickly: "Look, Niutou Mountain! It's right in front, this time we can't make a mistake, we are tall The cave people live in that mountain!"
