Horn is in his middle age and has two wives, three sons and a daughter. He was tall and well built. He has pale hair that is different from ordinary people, and his hair hangs down to his shoulders, and his long hair is tied around his forehead with a band made of some kind of vines. He has a rough appearance, and around his neck is a necklace made of animal teeth. There is no piece of clothing covering the upper body, revealing distinct muscle lines. The chest and stomach are covered with scars, which are the proof of the warriors of the clan. The lower body is a loose sarong, barefoot, with a curved bone knife at the waist, and looks crazy.
He was standing right in front of Priest Bari. If Horn was a lion, then Priest Bari must be a monkey. But facing the ferocious lion, the monkey did not show any fear or panic, but looked at Horn with calm eyes.
Horn's chest rose and fell sharply, and finally he let out a breath and said, "Priest Barry, if you wish to see the child's body, then I will grant you, and I can tell you responsibly that you are not helping She is harming her!"
"Horn, as a priest, I must maintain the balance in my heart. If Di Lei dies because of this, I think you should understand whose crime will be heavier." The priest waved his skinny hand and said: "You go, I want to rest."
With a snort, Horn angrily opened the tent and came out. Outside the priest's tent, several men of various shapes were already waiting. They were tall and short, and three of them were not much taller than Horn, with the skull of some kind of beast on their head, and some ancient patterns painted in bright colors on their bodies. Holding rough weapons tightly tied together with ropes of beast leg bones and sharp stone knives, everyone looks ferocious. The other two were a short woman and a big fat man. For the convenience of movement, the woman didn't wear too complicated clothes. She only wrapped her chest and crotch tightly with animal skin, leaving the rest exposed to the air. She was carrying a big bow that was almost as tall as herself, and on her waist was a quiver made of animal skin, which was filled with simple long arrows. The fat man in the end always had a big belly, bone nails in his ears, and a stone hammer in his hand. The stone hammer pressed against the soft ground, directly sinking the ground for a few minutes, which was obviously heavy.
"Gitaro and the others haven't come back yet?" Horn asked loudly after leaving the tent.
The woman shook her head, and Horn snorted coldly: "These trash can't even catch a little girl. Ask a few more people to go out and look for it together. If the old thing inside insists on seeing Di Lei's body, let him We fulfill him!"
"Leave it to me, brother." The fat man smiled and patted his chest with his hands, causing the fat on his body to tremble, and he said again: "If you catch Di Lei, can you let me play first. She is usually alive and kicking Yes, it must be very good to play."
"Whatever you want!" Horn left this sentence and strode away first. Several other people followed behind him, the fat man smiled, put the stone hammer on his shoulder but did not follow behind them, but left the village by himself.
From the village, you have to go through a narrow path to leave the valley. The path was winding and winding, and at first it was just a natural crack, which was later cleared out by the Garan people. There is a section of the road that needs to pass through the mountainside, where it is so dark that you can only see things clearly by lighting a torch.
At the entrance and exit of the mountain belly, torches are prepared all the year round. The fat man came to the exit and picked up one casually, lit it with a flint, and walked inside with it. I have walked this road countless times on weekdays, and it is already familiar to Fatty, and he even hummed happily. Imagining that after catching the girl Di Lei, he must play with her enough to kill her. Thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing. Unexpectedly, just as the laughter started, a figure suddenly appeared in the light of the torch, and it was actually Di Lei.
"Hahaha, Di Lei, you actually delivered it to your door by yourself? That saved me a lot of effort, so get over here by yourself, or I'll smash your feet with this big guy, and teach you a lesson with my own things. The fat man patted himself on the waist, and walked towards Di Lei with a mean smile on his face.
To his surprise, Di Lei smiled instead of being surprised, and said, "You are wrong, it is you, a fat pig, who will be unlucky today!"
"What?" The fat man's face showed anger, and he was about to teach this girl a profound lesson when suddenly his back felt cold. He was shaking violently, and felt a thread of ice piercing through his back, piercing into his warm and fat heart. With another twist, an unimaginable pain hit, but it disappeared in an instant.
After all, a dead person will no longer feel any pain. Two thin lines of blood flowed from the fat man's nose. When he loosened his hand, the stone hammer was about to fall to the ground, but it was held by a steady and strong hand. Zero appeared behind the fat man, and in his hand was a gun, the knife was covered with the fat man's blood.
After Horn left, Barry did not rest. There is always lingering uneasiness in his heart, pressing on his heart like a big stone. Horn is an ambitious person, he is not willing to stay on this island all his life like his father, this point is very clear to Waha and Barry. Therefore, Waha is more willing to hand over the position of patriarch to Di Lei. The late patriarch believes that if Horn leads the tribe, it is very likely that the Jialan tribe will be buried in the ruthless sea.
Now that Waha is dead, he died so suddenly and too fast that before Barry had time to announce Waha's last wish, Horn ordered Di Lei to be killed. All this happened too fast for the old priest to react. But what can be done now is to suppress Horn from holding the patriarchal succession ceremony as a priest. But he also knew that it wouldn't last long, once Horn brought back Di Lei's body. Then, as the only son of Waha, even if the priest objects, he will automatically become the patriarch.
The tent was lifted up suddenly, and a figure came in from the outside. Barry said displeased: "Didn't I say that, don't bother me again... ah..." The old priest turned around, but what he saw was a petite figure, it wasn't Di Lei. He almost cried out, but fortunately he held back in the end. Following Barry, he saw another man. He was definitely not dressed like anyone else in this clan, not to mention he had rare black hair and eyes with two kinds of pupils, black on the left and gold on the right.
"Di Lei, who is he?" Barry asked.
"His name is Zero, and he is my warrior! He is the one who protected me back, Priest Bari."
Barry was dubious, and frowned again: "Di Lei, you should come back, but you shouldn't come back." The old priest was conflicted, and he said: "Horn is looking for you everywhere now, and you don't need me to tell you what he wants to do. If It’s good that Waha is still alive, but your grandfather is dead now, and Horn is now the head of the clan. I’m afraid that I will personally announce that Waha will let you succeed the patriarch, and Horn will obstruct it. Otherwise, let’s go , find a way to leave this island, and don’t bother about the Jialan tribe anymore.”
"No!" Di Lei said stubbornly: "I came back this time to become the patriarch. I must not hand over the clansmen to my uncle, that would kill you all."
"But what are you going to do?" Barry shook his head.
Di Lei looked at Ling, clenched his fists and said, "Uncle must die, as well as his wife and children, and his subordinates. These people must be wiped out of our Jialan clan, otherwise we will never have peace."
Barry looked her over from top to bottom as if he was meeting Di Lei for the first time. Then he looked at Ling thoughtfully, he watched Di Lei grow up, how could he not know that with Di Lei's mind, he couldn't say such decisive words. Then the only possibility left is what this so-called warrior taught her. But Barry had to admit that if Di Lei wanted to come back, this was her only way.
Of course Horn had to die, and his wife and children couldn't be kept. Even if the two sons and daughter were still young, hatred would spread. The only way to do it is to cut the weeds and root them out. It's cruel, but it has to be done. Next, it was naturally someone who stood on Horn's front. Barry believed that Di Lei would not be ignorant of what it meant to do so. But she said it firmly now, and this alone was enough to make Barry look at her with admiration.
But the priest doubted how Di Lei could completely eradicate Horn and his followers with just a foreign warrior.
Seeing the doubts in Barry's heart, Zero said lightly: "Don't worry, respected priest, I will clean up all the obstacles in front of Di Lei for her."
"Really? Our ancestors said that without bait, the fish will not take the bait. I want to know what conditions Di Lei promised you, and who are you, with such great ability to shovel all obstacles alone? "Barry's small eyes shone with wisdom.
Zero didn't evade his question: "As you can see, I'm not from this island. In fact, I'm from the mainland to the south. That's right, I made a deal with the future leader of the Garan tribe, and I helped her become Patriarch, she will sell your green crystals to me. Listen carefully, it is for sale, and I will exchange them with equivalent supplies or things you need. Of course, if you are willing to live in the mainland, I can exchange them for the mainland Here are the tokens. But you had better not go now, for there is a war going on up there."
Barry nodded, and said again: "Then tell me, what are you going to do?"
"I need a set of your clothes, and then ask Your Excellency to take me around the village. You must tell me who are Horn's people, and then tell Horn to hold the patriarchal succession ceremony. Of course, as for the ceremony You don't need to tell him the real one." Ling said lightly.
"Well, after hearing what you said, I feel that you really want to help Di Lei. Otherwise, even if Di Lei will die because of me, I will call Horn's people. After all, let the treasures of the clan fall on the In Horn's hands, it's better than taking advantage of outsiders." Barry said in a deep voice.
Ling spread his hands and said, "Di Lei said you are a wise person, after all, you didn't make a foolish decision."
Di Lei, who was at the side, was confused, but she didn't understand the meaning of the two people's words. In fact, from the detail that he asked him to take him to identify those who belonged to Horn, Barry could see that he just wanted to help Di Lei sweep up Horn's faction, and the purpose of course was to clean up and establish power. If Zero killed people casually instead of doing this, then it would not be clearing obstacles for Di Lei, but creating conflicts and hatred.
So in the end, the Jialan clan might be torn apart because of this, which is much more serious than making Horn the patriarch. After a while, Barry found a set of Garan clothes for Ling. It is said to be clothes, but it is actually just a pair of pants. Tops are only worn by the elderly and women. When Zero changed into his pants, revealing his overly fair body, Barry shook his head.
The old priest brought some bottles and jars from nowhere, and then took out some black things from them and painted them on Zero's body. These things had a foul smell, and Ling frowned. But he said nothing, and let the priest anoint him all over. When they were evenly applied, Zero's complexion became bronzed, covering his original complexion. Barry took some other colors of paint and painted on Zero's body here and there. After a while, Zero looked like a native of the Garan tribe.
In the end, Barry took a mask that covered the part below the eyes and asked Zero to wear it, so that as long as Zero did not speak, no one would know that he was an outsider. After doing all this, Barry let Di Lei hide in the tent, and he left with Zero himself.
The two stopped and walked in the village, and Barry told Zero that the population of the Garan tribe was around 1,000, and basically every man was a hunter, and only a few of the bravest tribesmen could become warriors. There are about a hundred warriors in the village, and they will only be dispatched when dealing with extremely ferocious beasts. Horn himself was an excellent fighter, and he had about twenty fighters under him, five of whom were very powerful. When it was said that there was a fat man with a stone hammer in it, Zero smiled. Barry asked him why he was laughing, and Zero said flatly: "That person will never come back again."
Barry lowered his head to hide the shock in his eyes. The fat man's name was Sanger, and he was so powerful that he definitely ranked among the top three fighters in the village. But such a person seemed to be easily killed by the outsider in front of him. With the experience of a priest, it is obvious that he still cannot understand the existence of a capable person, let alone a ninth-level powerhouse like Zero.
At this time, the villagers came back from hunting. Looking from a distance, a team of hunters came back carrying several giant eagles the size of a calf and several giant pythons, including a giant 28 meters long. crocodile. But there were still many wounded people behind the team, and it seemed that the villagers had paid a considerable price for hunting these things. When the hunters came to the entrance of the village, several tall men greeted them. Pointing to one of the pale-haired men, Barry said, "That's Horne."
Then he introduced several fierce generals under Horn to Ling, and after Ling remembered them in his mind, he returned to the tent with the priest before the hunter entered the village.
In the evening, Horn received a news from Barry that surprised him. The priest decided to hold the patriarchal succession ceremony tomorrow. Hearing the news, Horn sneered and said, "This old man has finally come to his senses, but after he announced that I would succeed as the patriarch, our Jialan clan no longer needs any priests. I will decide everything from now on. Get rid of this old man!"
Early the next morning, at the square in the center of the village, Priest Barry arrived early with his animal bone power staff. Today he is wearing a very gorgeous costume and a crown full of feathers of various colors, which has a somewhat Indian style. The villagers had heard last night that today the priest of Bari will hold a succession ceremony for the patriarch. Although he didn't say who he would hold it for, Di Lei disappeared, and Horn was the only one who was eligible in the clan.
Horn and his three fighters arrived late after the clansmen gathered. Five of his soldiers, black fat Sander, left the village yesterday to hunt down Di Lei, and the female archer also didn't participate, no one knew where she went, except Horn.
On a small mountain to the west of the village, this woman peeked out from behind a boulder. She gently put the bow and arrows on the stone, and the square can be seen from this direction. Although the distance is hundreds of meters, today's wind and the big bow in her hand are enough to nail the arrow into the square. in anyone's chest. She is a pawn arranged here by Horn to prevent accidents from happening.
But not long after she appeared, Zero came behind her. Zero even looked at her carefully, but the woman just didn't realize that there was someone behind her. Usually her senses are very sensitive, but today she met Zero who is good at concealment. Zero restrained his breath and appeared in the blind spot of the woman's sight. Even if the two were very close, the woman didn't notice it.
It wasn't until Ling Weiliang's fingers touched the back of her neck that she suddenly became alarmed. But it was too late, as Zero turned his hands violently, the woman only heard a click from her neck, and then lost any consciousness. After killing her, Zero still had time to put her in a proper posture and sit behind the stone, and supported her lifeless body with a few stones, before retreating quietly.
At this time, the succession ceremony in the square began. Priest Bari held up the animal bone scepter, but a loud voice burst out from his thin body: "Dear compatriots of the Garan tribe, our respected patriarch Vaha has passed away for many days. But before he passed away, he had sent the next Tell me the name of the Patriarch. Now, in the presence of the spirits of our ancestors, I will pronounce her name. She is...
Horn smiled, ready to play. Unexpectedly, another person's name popped out of Barry's mouth: "Di Lei! That's right, she is Waha's designated heir!"
Horn's smile froze immediately, and he yelled: "Barry, you old bastard, you are so confused! Di Lei is not in the village at all, and she may have been eaten by some wild beast. Therefore, the position of patriarch can only be It's me! You know!"
At the end of his sentence, there was another voice from the crowd: "You are the one who is confused! Uncle Horn, whoever said that I am not here, I have always been here!"
The nearby Jialan people hurriedly stepped aside, and Di Lei walked into the square with her head held high, pointing to Horn and saying, "Today, I will not only follow my grandfather's last wish to succeed me as the new patriarch. I will also expose your crimes to everyone." Crime. My uncle, grandfather's own son, killed his own father for the sake of power, and after you knew that grandfather wanted to pass on the patriarch to me, you sent people to chase me down!"
Di Lei's voice was not loud, but everyone in the square heard it, and there was an uproar in the square.
