Qing Zhe basically doesn't speak. Zheng Luo thought that Qing Zhe was taciturn and was just a dumb slave. Yi Si also said that this slave's racial IQ was not high, but the reason why Qing Zhe was taciturn, In fact, he is not familiar with the language here.
When Yi Si spoke to Shao Xuan and the others, he used the tribal language here, which he learned after he came here. It is hard to imagine that within twenty or thirty days, he has learned almost the language here.
"Last year's cataclysm, shouldn't it be okay over there?" Shao Xuan asked.
"It's not just bad, it's absolutely terrible." Yi Si thought of the harvest of his farm, and his heart was bleeding.
"Actually, in the year when you made a big noise in Yanjiao, the blizzard came in winter, which was colder than the previous year. The winter in Wangcheng came early, and it often snowed heavily. The harvest of my small farm was not good. If the batch of millet is harvested before winter, I am afraid that the cold that arrives earlier will force you to have nothing to eat. The Jingu Grange is not very good. Even if the snow disaster in winter has been predicted, it is still unavoidable when it is actually faced.”
Speaking of this, Yi Si smiled sarcastically, "But now that the weather has returned to normal, I don't need to count on the farm. In fact, since you made a noise in Yanjiao, the atmosphere in Wangcheng has been very irritable, especially the people of the Yi family, all night long. There are many people who can't sleep. After last year's cataclysm, there are more people who are restless. You should know the reason."
"Desert Rock Tomb?" Zheng Luo asked.
"It can be said that, but to be more precise, the Yi family doesn't have much interest in Mu Han's descendants, oh, now it should be said to be the Yanling Shi family, Mu Han has already thrown away his clan surname. The Yanling Shi family. What, Wang Chengyi's family doesn't care, what they care about is the 'ominous' of the year!"
"Ominous?" Zheng Luo didn't quite understand what Yi Si meant.
However, Shao Xuan remembered what he had heard before, "Yi family Yixiang? The Yi family who came with Mu family and Mu Han back then?"
"Not bad." Speaking of this Yi Si, he became interested. "Mu Han and Yi Xiang were extremely talented back then. The results obtained by the ancestor of the Yi family, divination, have actually begun to be fulfilled now."
"Looking at your appearance, you seem to be looking forward to them fighting." Shao Xuandao.
Yi Si did not deny it, "I was also driven away by the Yi family, but I was not as miserable as Yi Xiang back then, and I didn't have his talent. Now the six nobles in the royal city have begun to recruit tribesmen, just like Lin back then. The deer tribe is the same, and most of the finances in the hands of our children who have no talent and no money are taken back to win people's hearts."
Shao Xuan had seen Yi Si's situation at the beginning. What Yi Si said sounded reasonable, but he didn't fully believe it. "Tell me, what is your purpose?"
Yi Si smiled slightly, "I want to see what the 'ominous' had done in the past thousand years. I'm afraid you don't know, not long after the cataclysm of heaven and earth, the people stationed on the edge of the mainland sent by Wangcheng After crossing the sea and seeing it, later, except for the two people who were deliberately put back, all the others died."
After Yanjiao crossed the sea that year, Wangcheng specially sent a group of people to guard there, so that some small tribes living there were forced to relocate. Because the people of the Yi family predicted the possible danger, most of the people who were stationed avoided it. After the natural disaster, unfortunately, after crossing the sea later, almost the entire army was wiped out.
Shao Xuan only heard that there was a change in the desert at that time, maybe there were these things that Yi Si said.
"The two people who were put back said that there were monsters, and the number was huge. They were inhuman. Those should be Yi Xiang's achievements. I am very curious. It's a pity that my status in the Yi family is not high, so I can't get closer to them. Those, coupled with the compulsion of life, so I found a way to come here. But you know, our Yi family has never been a fighting type, so I brought my own slaves."
Yi Si glanced at the reactions of Shao Xuan and the others, and continued, "After I came here, I was unfamiliar with my life, and my personal strength was limited. I heard about the Yanhe trading area in Yanjiao, so I came to join you."
"How did you get here?" Zheng Luo's sharp eyes looked over, crossing the sea and crossing the desert, it was not an easy task. It's not that easy to fool them!
Yi Si didn't panic, and explained, "It's a long-winged bird."
Long-winged birds have long and well-developed wings and are able to fly long distances. They are considered to be the birds with the highest flight ability among birds. Their body sizes range from half a meter long to several meters long or even with a wingspan of ten meters. Not only can they fly in the sky, but they can also hunt in the water.
"I know a person whose slave is a long-winged bird. I just borrowed his long-winged bird for a period of time, and that cost all my savings." Yi Si asked Shao Xuan, "Have you ever met before? Those inhuman monsters in the desert?"
"No." Zheng Luo didn't look good.
"It's better, you take me in. If you can catch those monsters, let me take a look. After all, I may give you more answers to the things created by the Yi family. How?" Zheng Luo is about to say What, Yi Si added, "Of course I'm not eating white pigs here for nothing, I can help you with accounting, your elder Shao Xuan knows my ability, although I can't be like other Yi family members, But I still have confidence in this regard. Moreover, my slave Qing Zhe can also do some physical work, and his strength is not inferior to yours."
Zheng Luo said nothing, he looked at Shao Xuan, saw Shao Xuan nod, he took out an animal skin scroll, looked at the distribution of houses on it, and finally chose a house near Yanhe Fort. Of course, now Yi Si He didn't have a cent of property on hand, so he wouldn't be given food, clothing, and shelter for nothing, so Yi Si would be credited first.
Ask someone to take Yi Si and the well-fed Qingzi over to the arranged house. After they left, Zheng Luo asked Xiang Shao Xuan, "How credible do you think his words are?"
"Five or five points, stay under your eyes and observe first." Shao Xuan said.
"Well." Zheng Luo also thinks so. Although he doesn't like the people of the six major tribes in Wangcheng, he has to admit that the people of the Yi family are very capable. It is good to stay under the eyelids to observe, it is naturally good to help the flaming horns, but if you find anything unfavorable to the tribe, then kill it directly.
At this moment, an eagle chirped in the sky.
Shao Xuan and Zheng Luo's expressions changed at the same time, and they stopped thinking about Yi Si.
The eagle cry just now was cha cha. Two days ago, Shao Xuan received an animal skin scroll sent by the mountain giant eagle back to the tribe. It was written that they would send the "monster" they caught. , but the exact time is uncertain.
Shao Xuan asked Chacha to pay attention to the movement in the sky in the past two days. The perception between the giant eagles on the mountain peaks is relatively strong. If there are eagles coming from the tribe, it will definitely find out. The chatter just now was to tell Shao Xuan that the "goods" had arrived.
The two rushed to the top of the Yanhe Building, and a giant eagle landed on the mountain, landing with a long wooden box in its claws. This is the mountain eagle that came from the Hui tribe, and there are people on the back of the eagle.
Just now, Yi Si asked them if they had seen those "monsters" in the desert. Zheng Luo said that he had never seen them. That's the truth. On Yanjiao, only Shao Xuan has seen them. Shao Xuan went to the grassland to send an invitation letter. When I went back to the tribe, I saw that humanoid monster.
"That's it?" Zheng Luo walked over curiously.
"That's it. However, it's better to move it into the house and open it again, so as not to see sunlight. We seal it with medicine. If it sees sunlight, the medicine will have no effect." said the Hui tribesman who came over.
Without saying a word, Zheng Luo picked up the long wooden box like a coffin and carefully moved it to a secret room in Yanhe Fort.
Without the others, only the man who returned to the tribe, Shao Xuan and Zheng Luo, had no light after they drew Shimen.
Shao Xuan took out the water moon stone for lighting.
The boxy wooden box is like a coffin, lying quietly in the dark secret room. Before it is opened, it gives people a strange feeling of coldness.
Zheng Luo shivered inexplicably.
"Open it." Shao Xuan motioned to the Hui tribe who had brought the goods.
The other party nodded, took the dagger that Shao Xuan handed over, his eyes stayed on the cyan metal textured dagger for a few seconds, and then cut the rope tied to the wooden box.
The wooden box was tightly bound by ropes, but the dagger was very sharp, and if you swiped it up, the rope would be cut without much effort.
When he handed the dagger back to Shao Xuan, the Hui tribe man's eyes flashed with reluctance. He was very envious of the weapon material of the flaming horn.
Untie the cord and lift the top cover.
The sound of the wooden board was very clear in the secret room, and after opening the lid, when Shao Xuan saw the situation inside, his first thought was: Mummy
In the wooden box, the Hui tribesmen wrapped the "goods" inside with animal skins. The thick fur can play a certain buffering role, and the "goods" wrapped in them were covered with green cloth strips. He was barely able to see the shape of a person.
A strange smell came out, and there was also a rotten smell in it.
Zheng Luo swallowed his saliva, "Is it?" Is this the inhuman monster that everyone fears, even the nobles of the king city over the sea worry about
"The cloth strip has been soaked in medicine, so wrapping it will make it rot more slowly. If you want to see Elder Shao Xuan, you can remove the cloth strip, but then it can no longer be prevented from rotting quickly." The tribe man said, "We witch said, it's better to keep it here and not bring it into your headquarters."
Shao Xuan nodded, saying that he already knew the reason why he shipped things to the Yanhe trading area instead of the Yanjiao headquarters, which was mentioned in the previous animal skin scroll. Hui tribe witch said that this monster is too strange, it is better to place it farther away from the tribe, and he also found that the closer to the fire, the faster the monster rots, although the flame horn has no original fire , but in the Yanjiao headquarters, due to the large number of people in the Yanjiao and the concentration of the fire, the aura of the fire is still very strong. After considering various reasons, in the end, Shao Xuan decided to let the people who returned to the tribe transport the things to the Yanhe trading area.
Then he took out an animal skin roll that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to the other party, "This is what your leader and the witch want."
The other party took the animal skin roll and placed it next to him cautiously. After getting the things, he didn't have the heart to stay here any longer. After leaving, he left. There were other people not far from the Yanhe trading area. Waiting for him, important things, of course, will not be delivered by him alone, just to avoid attracting more attention, so after getting close to here, he came alone.
What Shao Xuan gave to the Hui tribesmen was a summary of their tribe, as well as the various experience points of the fusion of the two tribes, the Rain tribe and the Mo tribe, although more people knew about the flame horns after the Yanhe feast. Shao Xuan also told a few big tribes about the changes in the fire, and even the integration of the original fire into the tribal people. However, those people have been hesitant. Now it is the Hui tribe people who take the first step. Decided to merge.
As a thank you, the Hui tribesmen transported the "monster" that Shao Xuan asked for. Anyway, they could not draw any conclusion if they stayed in the Hui tribe. Besides, the monster was now more rotten. The leader of the Hui tribe felt that he should continue. It was useless to keep it. When Shao Xuan proposed it, he agreed without much thought.
When the people returning to the tribe left, Zheng Luo looked at Shao Xuan for advice, "Do you want to open it now? Or wait for others to come over?"
"Let me consider."
Shao Xuan put on a pair of gloves made of fish skin, and the cloth wrapped around the "monster" was covered with antiseptic drugs, and he would not pull it with his bare hands.
The cloth strip is wrapped from the feet of the "monster" to the head, and the steps to untie it are naturally reversed, starting from the head.
Zheng Luo stood beside him, watching Shao Xuan use the blue-gray fish-skin gloves to untie the cloth wrapped around the head of the humanoid monster.
As the cloth strips were undone, the monster's head was exposed.
Zheng Luo looked at the face that was so rotten that it couldn't be seen, and the muscles on his face twitched again and again.
"This... this... this is a human?" Zheng Luo only learned from the animal skin scrolls of the Hui tribe that the "goods" had a relatively high degree of decay, but he thought he had seen it a lot, whether it was human or beast. . But now seeing such a strange face, I only feel that there is a chill surging behind him.
It is different from ordinary rot. This "monster" is more inclined to weathered rot. When Shao Xuan untied the cloth, he made a clucking sound, and there were even pieces of dry skin on the cloth, black Yes, like a dry, hard piece of meat that has been dyed with something. And as the flesh was peeled off, the bones below were also exposed.
The Hui tribe people said that only bones are left, which is probably what they mean, when the skin is exposed, the bones are visible.
"It's this kind of 'people', walking in the desert? How can there be such people? Which tribe are they from?" Zheng Luo was still thinking, is there a tribe with unique bones and natural appearance, such as Yi Si's? Like that slave, there is no pure human blood in his body.
Shao Xuan shook his head, "The last time I went back to the tribe, it wasn't like this. It's just hard and dry now."
Zheng Luo breathed a sigh of relief, and he said, how can there be such a strange looking tribe, it turned out not to be like this from the beginning.
However, Zheng Luo's breath was too early.
As Shao Xuan untied more of the cloth strips on the "goods", the legendary "monster" finally revealed his true colors.
Just looking at the head may only feel a little strange, but if you look at his torso, you will find a bigger secret.
This monster, he has no organs, the torso part, the abdomen is deeply sunken, even if it is air-dried, it is not so, Zheng Luo is sure that the monster's abdomen, under the hard skin, is not dirty device!
Zheng Luo's first reaction was: "The people who returned to the tribe cut him off?"
"No, it wasn't made by Hui tribesmen, they don't have that hobby." Hui tribesmen would not use knives on people or beasts at will, unless it was prey that was about to be eaten.
"Then... how could it be..." Zheng Luo stammered and didn't know how to express his thoughts. He had a guess in his heart, but he didn't want to believe it. How could it be possible
"The monsters in the desert they are talking about are actually these 'people' who have no organs, no blood flow, and no pulse." Shao Xuan said.
Zheng Luo was shocked, "Cocoa has no organs and no blood, can she still live?"
"Who said they were alive?"
"But since it's not alive, why can everyone be so jealous?" Zheng Luo couldn't understand.
"I have to ask the people from Yanling. I have never seen these 'people' in action." Shao Xuan could not answer.
"Could this be what Yi Si said was made by their Yi tribe ancestors?!"
Zheng Luo only felt that the chill behind him was even worse, the cold sweat soaked through the clothes on his body, and his scalp was numb. In their eyes, these are dead people, but to a certain extent, they are still "alive" because they can move and chop people.
"I really don't know how the people in Yanling made 'people' like this, could they make dead slaves like this?" Zheng Luo murmured.
Shao Xuan's eyelids jumped.
There are many people in the desert, but the number of monsters mentioned is huge, and if it is just the living slaves, it may not be able to reach the "huge" level, especially after the melee in the desert, the number of people has plummeted. But if you count the dead, it's an incalculable number, not to mention that the people of Yanling have been planning for a long time.
made by the dead...
Shao Xuan suddenly remembered how he grabbed nuclear seeds from the underground palace when he was in the desert. At that time, he had a battle with Daoyu in the underground palace, but after killing Daoyu at that time, he met the people from Yanling and failed to bring Daoyu's body back to the tribe.
If the people of Yanling can really turn the dead into such monsters, then, was the already dead Daoyi also brought back for transformation
Seeing Shao Xuan frowning and staring at the monster inside, Zheng Luo grabbed the goose bumps on his arm, "The people in Yanling are really scary. Fortunately, their main target is the people over the sea. ."
Shao Xuan closed the wooden box and carried it to another underground secret room in Yanhe Fort. He had to study this, at least he had to know how to better deal with such a monster.
