Ning Tao's eyes also moved to the old man.
The old man was tall and tall. Although he was old, his body seemed very strong. Under the ragged coarse cloth coat, his arms were thick, his chest muscles were well developed, and his leg muscles were also obvious. It's just that his body is covered in scars, including scars from being whipped with a whip, scars from being burned with a soldering iron, and scars that are suspected of being cut and stabbed with a knife. If he hadn't been strong enough and had some foundation, he probably wouldn't have been able to survive until this point.
Ning Tao glanced at Ling'er again, and he guessed the identity of the old man from the way Ling'er looked at the old man. The old man was Tie Mushan, the old patriarch of the hot spring department.
"Old patriarch!" Ling'er cried out sadly and ran up.
Only then did Tiemu Shan see Ling'er. At that moment, an excited smile appeared on his face, but in the blink of an eye, the smile disappeared. He lowered his head and hid in the crowd.
But how could it be possible to hide
Ling'er ran to Tiemushan's side, tears flowed out unsatisfactorily, and her voice trembled when she spoke: "Old patriarch, I heard it was you..."
She couldn't say it.
Tiemushan raised his head and looked at Ling'er, his eyes full of pain and regret: "It's me."
Although Ling'er didn't say it out loud, he knew what Ling'er wanted to say.
"Why?"
"Stop asking," Tiemushan said.
Ling'er's emotions were a little out of control: "Why didn't you ask? I have always regarded you as my father, and the people in the tribe respect you so much. I believe you, why did you tell the ape man the location of the Hot Spring Tribe? Why did you... "After a pause, she finally said it, "Why did you betray us?"
Tiemushan avoided Ling'er's eyes: "I told you, don't ask..."
"I don't!" Ling'er shouted, "I want to know the truth! You are not that kind of person, you are not!"
Tiemushan shook his head: "I am not your father, and I am not your clan leader now. Let's just pretend we don't know each other."
After saying that, he staggered down the mountain.
"There's something wrong with this old man." Bi Mingzhu said.
Ning Tao nodded: "Let me see what he has been through."
It is said that the authorities are blind to the beholder, and what Ling'er cannot detect is obvious to Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu.
With a thought, Ning Tao came out of his shell and plunged into Tiemushan's eyebrows.
Tiemushan, who was walking, suddenly froze, his eyes glazed over at that moment, and then he fell to the ground without any warning.
"Old patriarch, what's wrong with you?" Ling'er exclaimed and hurriedly went to help Tiemushan.
But before she could grab Tiemushan's hand, a figure came to her side in a flash and grabbed her hand.
"Wait a minute." Bi Mingzhu said.
"But..." Linger was very anxious.
Bi Mingzhu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, when did I lie to you? Trust me, your old patriarch will be fine."
Ling'er turned her eyes to look at Ning Tao, only to see that Ning Tao was still standing in the same position as before, with no expression on his face, as if he had turned into a statue.
Ning Tao can actually do two things at once, that is, the Yuanshen does the things of the Yuanshen, and he does his own things without affecting each other, but still under control. It's just that the mana has not returned to its peak state, so it is a bit difficult to do so. Moreover, focusing on one thing is much more efficient and effective. So, he now looks like a statue.
In the crowd, someone wanted to come up and help.
Bi Mingzhu also stopped, and then let these newly freed slaves rest where they were.
During this process, Ning Tao had emerged from the memory of Tiemushan being tortured. It was indeed Tiemushan who revealed the location of the Hot Spring Tribe, which confirmed the fact of his betrayal.
However, this Tiemushan gave him a very tough impression, not the kind of person who would betray his people after being tortured.
What other secrets does he hide
Tiemushan's mind was quiet, and memories were floating in his mind like colorful balls floating on the water. Some are complete and clear, while others are just broken fragments and very blurry.
Ning Tao's eyes fell on a colorful "ball". It shone among a lot of memories, shining brighter and clearer than other memories.
Such a feature is absolutely "profound in memory".
Ning Tao's heart moved and he dived in.
When spiritual thoughts enter that memory, it is equivalent to entering Tiemushan's body in that time period and environment. Tiemushan's eyes are his eyes, and Tiemushan's ears are his ears.
It was a dense primeval forest. Ironwood Mountain walked quickly, glancing back from time to time, worried that someone was following behind him.
Where is he going, or who is he going to see
Ning Tao was filled with curiosity and felt more and more that there was something wrong with this memory.
Ironwood Mountain passed through a dense forest and stopped. In front of him was a cave. A hot spring water flowed out of the cave, and the water gurgled.
This scene is so familiar.
Ning Tao secretly said in his heart: "Isn't this a hot spring cave?"
Tiemu Shan entered the hot spring cave, took out a dry-cell battery-powered flashlight from his coat, turned on the switch, and a bright beam of light shone into the darkness.
He actually has a flashlight, which is probably a luxury item in human society.
Ning Tao became more and more curious about this Ironwood Mountain.
Ironwood Mountain passed through the hot spring pool and then walked towards a rock wall.
There are several forked holes on the rock wall, which are so dark that the light of the flashlight is swallowed up when it shines in, and only a small part of the light is reflected back.
Tiemushan came to one of the forked caves, then looked back to make sure there was no one there before he got in.
Plop!
A black shadow flew out of the cave.
They were a group of bats. Their size was normal, but their claws had a silvery metallic luster. They seemed to have mutated, but the mutated part was not the size.
After the Great Explosion, everything began to mutate, but not all mutations were reflected in size. Human beings themselves are a typical example. The mutation of human beings is reflected in the awakening of spiritual veins, which means that some people gain superpowers. However, humans who have completely missed the era of the Great Explosion and whose civilization has been cut off do not understand this at all. They believe that the awakening of spiritual veins is similar to the opening of the Ren and Du veins in martial arts novels. The awakened ones are martial arts geniuses, so they follow the martial arts route. .
The bats in front of us are also an example. They have not grown in size, but have evolved claws that are comparable to metal. There may be other special abilities, but just a quick glance through Ironwood Mountain cannot reveal those possible mutations, or evolutions.
Tiemushan walked deeper into the cave with a flashlight. The first section of the cave was relatively narrow and he had to risk his waist.
, sometimes you even need to go sideways to pass. After a certain distance, the fork gradually widened, and he no longer needed to bend his waist or sideways, and his speed also increased a lot.
After another distance, the cave became wider and wider. The height of the cave roof above the head increased from a few meters to dozens of meters. The rock walls on both sides also extended to both sides, and the distance in the middle increased from tens of meters to hundreds of meters.
But this is always a memory, not a personal experience. Sometimes the memory of this kind of walking flashes by, and it is impossible to judge how far Ironwood Mountain has gone.
With just a few flashes, Ironwood Mountain arrived at the exit of this fork. He turned off his flashlight as natural light appeared in front of him. He quickly walked through the last section of the cave and walked out from the exit of the cave.
In front of you is a small valley, located between two peaks, surrounded by cliffs that are ten thousand feet high. Not even humans, let alone monkeys, can climb up. The cave behind the hot spring tribe became the only passage, but the only one who knew about it was Ironwood Mountain.
What is he doing here
Ironwood Mountain walked deep into the narrow valley, his memory flickered a few times, and he soon stopped under a tree.
It was a banana tree, but it was not an ordinary banana, but a mutated banana tree. Its size looks normal, but the bananas are abnormal. Those bananas are colorful, and each banana is crystal clear. It looks like a colorful crystal banana hanging on the tree.
What's even more amazing is that these bananas seem to have extremely strong spirituality. When Ironwood Mountain comes, they all stand still and suddenly stand up. Each banana is like the muzzle of a rifle that is suddenly raised. They will all shoot at Ironwood Mountain.
Seeing these magical bananas through Tiemushan's eyes, Ning Tao suddenly felt that all the bananas he had eaten in his long life were tasteless. Only the bananas in front of you can be considered real bananas, because they have the soul that a banana should have. If it wasn't in Tiemushan's memory, he would definitely pick one to taste, and then bring a few back to Bi Mingzhu.
"Did he come here sneakily just to eat bananas? What danger did the people of the Hot Spring Tribe take to go out of the Hot Spring Tribe to pick spiritual fruits in order to help the children in the tribe awaken, but there is a spiritual tree behind the Hot Spring Tribe? Jiao, why didn't he tell the tribe? If he betrayed the tribe because of his greed for this spiritual Jiao tree, I would kill him," Ning Tao thought.
Just as he was thinking this, Ironwood Mountain's memory flashed again, and a figure suddenly fell from the sky and stood on the banana tree.
Tiemushan's eyes just glanced at the man quickly, and then he knelt down, lowering his head, not daring to look up at the man.
Although it was only a brief glance, Ning Tao only saw an outline, which was a woman wearing a white dress and holding a sheathed sword in her hand. She has long hair and looks very young. It's a pity that I didn't see her face clearly, and I don't know if her figure is good or not.
Why do you care about other people’s faces and figures
Ning Tao secretly blamed himself.
"Nvxia Chao Xi, you're here." Tie Mu Shan said respectfully.
A white shadow flashed before his eyes, and the woman known as the heroine of morning and evening jumped from the banana tree to the ground.
Ning Tao saw a pair of soft-soled short boots sewn from animal skin. The animal skin was white, as white as her ankles, and was covered with scales. When the sun shines, those scales glow slightly, as if they are inlaid with rhinestones, which are very beautiful.
This heroine is very particular.
