"This damn crazy woman!!!"
Xia Ya shouted all the way, his hands clenched tightly, the wind whistled beside his ears, and the strong wind from the sky poured into his mouth, making his shouting distorted, with a hoarse taste.
The poor turtle, he originally thought that he should be a character who is not afraid of the sky, but after riding this flying carpet to the sky, he suddenly discovered a serious problem: he was afraid to death! ! ! Poor Turtle... Has a fear of heights? !
Feeling like he was moving through the clouds, the high winds almost swept him off the blanket a few times.
This damn height, if you fall, let alone the blood of the dragon, even if the blood of the Dragon King is wiped, it will definitely be shattered! And looking at the clouds below, the mountains on the ground and the lush green woods passing by one by one, the earth turtle felt like the world was spinning, he already felt that the food he ate last night was about to pour out of his throat. His face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth while roaring.
On the other hand, Dotara, who has always been cowardly and timid, looks a hundred times more energetic than Xiaya at this moment. The magician looked surprised and excited. Although he was also holding the edge of the flying carpet with both hands, leaning forward and lying there, he raised his butt high, but he kept shouting and cheering.
"It's amazing! It's so exciting! It's amazing! Lord! Lord! It feels so good! Omg!!"
Just as the magician cheered, the turtle roared angrily: "Shut up! You bastard! I... vomit!!!"
Finally, the turtle couldn't bear it any longer, spit out on Dodo Luo's robe, and rolled his eyes.
Duo Duo Luo seemed to have been shocked by the spectacle flying in the air. He didn't care about the master's actions at all, but instead shouted excitedly.
"This is the most exciting experience of my life!!"
"Damn! This is the most terrifying experience in Lao Tzu's life! Damn it! We will all be killed!!!" Xia roared desperately: "Damn Merlin! Curse this terrible crazy woman! She is crazy! Crazy!! !!"
This sentence was called out, and Dodo Luo suddenly changed his expression and screamed: "No! Don't say such things! Don't say it!!"

In the deepest part of the forest, this is perhaps one of the most mysterious and hard-to-find areas in the world.
Surrounded by dense and huge mountain forests, thousand-year-old trees, and ancient mountains, these mountains seem to be huge natural barriers, blocking everything from the outside world.
Protected by this circle of barriers is the tribe of the Zaku natives.
There is no doubt that the Zaku are "people". But the Zaku natives themselves seem to have never admitted this - at least, they always think that they are different from the "human beings" outside.
They walk in the mountains, they are the sons and daughters of the mountains, brave and sturdy. Perhaps in the hearts of many Byzantines, these Zaku natives were more savage, backward, and less civilized than the Odins. At least the Odins are still a country, but these Zakus seem to be just a group of savage indigenous people outside civilization.
However, in the eyes of businessmen not so much. Because the Zaku indigenous people have almost the largest gold mine on this continent - if the Zaku people themselves are not strong enough, with brave warriors and the protection of the dense and vast surrounding forests, then such a gold mine, I am afraid that it will be early. It was coveted by humans - in fact, it was no secret that the gold of the Zaku people was coveted, but the Byzantines could not occupy this place - this mountain is too big! Even if a hundred thousand troops are scattered, it seems to be just a drop of water in this green ocean. And the dense forests are not suitable for the army to fight. There are not only unpredictable and terrible weather, but also swamps that devour people, springs that poison people, and miasma that makes people die in silence, and all kinds of Vicious disease virus.
The most important thing is that this mountain is full of dangerous monsters.
Compared to the outside world, this place can almost be regarded as another world.
Hundreds of years ago, a Marshal of the Byzantine Empire once said: "To conquer the Zaku tribes and get their gold? Don't be kidding! We have no elves who can conquer the Chaos Land, and it is impossible to conquer the same. Zaku! The only difference between these two groups is that the Zaku don't have long ears and terrible bowing skills, but they both live in the woods. Gold! Gold is lovely, but we have to do the math first. A large area of deep mountains, how many troops need to be recruited to fill such a big ravine! This military expenditure is enough to make the empire's finances collapse first."
This statement is undoubtedly true, and successive emperors have clearly held the same view - not even the arrogant and violent God-Emperor Odin had any idea of the Zaku.
In addition to gold, the Zaku people are also rich in many things that are welcomed by all parts of the continent.
Take their tobacco, for example, which is said to have been picked up by the Zaku girls on their healthy, clean thighs—for this reason, smoking Zaku cigarettes has become a rather flamboyant and reverie anecdote .
There are also some strange herbs made by the Zaku people and all kinds of little monsters they tame, which are very welcome by the caravans on the mainland.
Many people think that the Zaku people are just a group of uncivilized savages, but in fact few people know that the Zaku people actually have a fairly sound social structure.
The tribe of the Zaku people is not "a group of barbarians mixed together" as one might imagine. In fact, in the mountains, there are more than a dozen tribes of the Zaku natives, the largest of which is directly led by the Great Chief, while the other slightly smaller tribes are located in the surrounding areas of the Great Chief. , The Great Chief is the supreme leader of all Zaku natives, and there are wizard sacrifices and so on in Zaku.
If you want to talk about history, the time of the Zaku people's existence is even much earlier than the history of the founding of the Byzantine Empire...
They are as close to natural creatures as elves, good at taming animals like the legendary Druids, and sons of mountains like dwarves. At the same time, they also possess various human characteristics.
This is a strange group and a strange race.
In the deepest part of this mountain forest, this place is called "Wanggu". This is the largest tribe among the Zaku natives, and it belongs to the main department of the great chief.
The tribe's stockade presents a hexagonal prismatic shape. Although the stockade wall made of thick giant trees and rocks looks rough, it is actually much stronger than people think - if an empire's general stands here , you will be amazed at the structural shape of such a walled wall.
Because of the shape of the prismatic fortress, it is recognized as the shape of the fortress with the strongest defense! The evolution of the war civilization of the Byzantine Empire to the appearance of prismatic fortress walls was still 600 years ago - and the history of the Zaku natives building this shape of the city is more than three times!
At sunset, the afterglow of the sun falls on the earth, and the green of the forest is dyed with a final layer of splendor. In the afterglow, in the Zaku tribe stockade, the distinctive round earthen houses are everywhere, and the smoke is rising. If you think that Zaku people are the kind of savages who build a big bonfire outside every night, and then a group of people put on oil paint, hold bones, beat drums, dance and shout around the bonfire... Then you are wrong.
Although the current Zaku natives also do this, but only on grand festivals, or the birthday of the great chief.

A Cai was standing on the wall of the village, holding the short spear in his hand, obviously a little nervous. He had already sharpened the tip of the short spear with his own hands, the animal skin robe on his body was sewn by his mother for three days, and around his neck hung a ring of animal tooth pendants - these were all from him. It was pried out of the mouth of the prey that was shot by hand!
The young A Cai was a sixteen-year-old Zaku native. Like most young Zaku natives, he was strong and full of energy, and at the same time, his nature was simple and brave. But the young A Cai still has his own troubles.
Of course, this trouble is not because the animal tooth on his neck is still missing a tiger tooth - although his neighbor, Agra, who is two years older than him, has two snow-white tiger teeth on his neck, which also makes A Cai Very envious, but he is very confident, he believes that if he encounters a tiger in the woods, he also has the ability to get a tooth back!
His biggest troubles are two.
The first trouble is that although he is sixteen years old, he is already an adult warrior among the Zaku natives, and his hunting skills and spear skills are very good, but the people in the tribe seem to be unavoidable. A habit: I always like to compare the young A Cai with his heroic uncle. Since A Cai was ten years old, the most common sentence he heard was: "Good boy, you will be as brave as your uncle in the future."
Uncle is one of the top warriors in the tribe. He has done a lot for the tribe and is also the idol of the young Zaku people, but A Cai is determined to surpass his brave uncle!
By the way, his uncle, whose name is "Azuo".
As for the second annoyance, it's a little more special...
Sixteen-year-old A Cai, according to all Zaku traditions, is about to celebrate his coming of age. According to the tradition of the Zaku people, every Zaku man must participate in the tribe's coming-of-age ceremony when he is sixteen years old. This coming-of-age ceremony includes asking everyone to hunt a wild beast that grows in the woods. A giant wolf, it can also be a monitor lizard, or something else, and the requirement is not to kill its own prey, because this prey will be tamed by himself and become everyone's first mount! Another important part of the coming-of-age ceremony is: circumcision.
This part is the reason why A Cai is most anxious. Every time he takes a shower or urinates, he looks at his own words and thinks that he will stab himself on it... This kind of fear will make him a little flustered.
He is sixteen years old and already knows some things about men and women. Sometimes, when he passes through the tobacco leaf field, he sees the healthy Zaku girls in the clan wearing headscarves and short skirts, laughing and picking off tobacco leaves, The appearance of running back and forth caused an indescribable throbbing in his young heart, and an inexplicable impulse would burst forth in his heart.
To cut a knife... it must be painful...
A Cai was standing on the wall of the fortress a little bit nervously. This was his first time as a guard. He hoped to perform his first duty well, but for some reason, today, he always felt uneasy. Maybe he heard the news that his uncle, Azuo, will return to the tribe with a few mysterious guests recently, which made him too excited.
However, after learning this news, not everyone in the tribe is very happy. At least, the face of the big priest is better than the gloomy day. In recent days, the big priest has always locked himself in the house and cannot come out. To see people.
The sun is about to go down, and by that time, A Cai can finish the first day of guarding work, and then go home to eat.
He held the short spear and looked at the sky in the distance, and suddenly there was something in his sight that made him stunned.
In the distance of the sky, in the brilliance of the setting sun, there seems to be a shadow flying from afar. The shadow flutters in the sky, but the speed is very fast. At first, A Cai thought that it might be a mountain eagle or a falcon. Something like that, but the young Zaku warrior's eyes widened as soon as the thing approached!
Well, that's actually a flying blanket! The most bizarre thing is that there are still people on it! !
In the distance, there was a sharp howl from the sky. The scream was so loud that it fell into the ears. Because of the interference of the wind, it was not clear, but the sound was getting louder and louder, and the shadow on the sky in the eyes. It was getting closer and closer, and suddenly, the flying blanket above seemed to have lost control, one end fell from the cloud, and rammed towards the wall!
"what!!!!!"
A black shadow almost slid past A Cai's head, and then slammed into the observation deck on the wall of the village. With a bang, after the sound of a piece of wood breaking, the blanket fell softly, and then the two figures one after another. Plopped down to the ground.
It was the poor magician who fell to the ground first. Dodoro screamed for the first time, and then Xia Ya's body fell on his back, causing the second scream from the magician to be bigger than the previous one. times.
Xia Ya reluctantly got up, let out a breath, looked around, and the first sentence was: "Damn it! I'm finally alive! God testifies, I don't want to sit for a second time on this damn thing!"
Duoduo's painful tears were about to fall out, and he muttered: "Master, I reminded you that you can't speak ill of the great Lord Merlin! The spell on this magic carpet is to praise Lord Merlin, so I have reason to believe, If you dare to speak ill of her old man in front of this magic carpet, something unfortunate will happen."
"Hahahaha!" Xia Ya, who survived the disaster, was in a good mood: "Anyway, we didn't fall to our death, this is a great luck."
"... That's because I'm under you." The magician muttered softly.
