Nine Star Burden - Chapter 714
Chapter 714: Make way
The mighty team continued to move forward, and Jiang Xiao saw a place that could be called a “tribe”.
The fence made of trees stuck to the mountain behind them, forming a huge semi-circular camp.
Within the tribe, tents were set up high, and in front of the tents, there were tree branches with special ornaments hanging from them. Most of them were made of bones.
The savages each had a clear division of labor and were busy with their own things.
The tribe was so huge that Jiang Xiao felt as if he had walked into another country of Giants.
The team of savages at the door didn’t stop them, but they looked at Jiang Xiao curiously.
As he walked into the tribe, he saw that the barbarians were polishing stone tools in groups of two or three.
In front of the bonfire, some female savages were cooking meat in stone pots, and some female savages seemed to be scalding the ape ghouls ‘fur.
Jiang Xiao had no idea what they were going to do. After the ape Ghoul skins were heated, they were hung on a thread to dry.
Jiang Xiao noticed that all the savages here were wearing clothes, especially the female savages, who were all wrapped up tightly.
Jiang Xiao didn’t say that it was inappropriate, but he felt that it was rather abnormal. It seemed like someone had given the order and forced it.
One by one, the savage female archers left quietly. In the end, only the savage sorceress who was carrying he Chongyang and Jiang Xiao were left.
The three of them walked for a long time, almost passing through the tribe, and finally came to the cave at the foot of the mountain.
“This is Grandpa chief’s house.” He Chongyang lay in the arms of the savage sorceress and stuck his head out of the sorceress’s shoulder. He waved at Jiang Xiao and said,”my mother said that Grandpa chief is the smartest. You have to listen to him.”
“Eh.” Jiang Xiao looked at the savage guards on both sides and one of them went in to report. After a while, he ran out and let everyone in.
Jiang Xiao followed the savage sorceress and walked in.
After passing through a rather short tunnel, Jiang Xiao and the others arrived at the “Hall”. Unlike the torches inserted on the walls of the tunnel, there were stone pillars erected all around the hall. There was a round plate on the stone pillars that was burning with flames, giving off a modern artistic feel.
There was a stone chair in the hall, and the front of the chair was laid with the skin of the ape Ghoul King, which made Jiang Xiao feel like he had entered a Bandit’s lair.
This old man has some artistic taste?
An old man was sitting on the stone throne. His purple eyes were a little cloudy, and they were not as demonic as those of the young barbarians.
He had a brown hair tie on his forehead, and his white hair was tied into two big braids, hanging on his left and right shoulders in a “double ponytail” posture …
At this moment, Jiang Xiao felt the fear of being dominated by the “twin ponytails”.
From now on, how was he going to face the cute girl with two ponytails?
“Ha! Good afternoon!” He Chongyang waved his hand at the old man. He struggled to jump out of the savage sorceress’s arms but was stopped.
The savage sorceress held he Chongyang tightly in her arms and was communicating with the old Savage in her seat.
They were speaking the language of the Barbarian tribe, which Jiang Xiao couldn’t understand at all.
“Don ‘t! He was a good person! He’s a good person!” He Chongyang suddenly shouted loudly, giving Jiang Xiao a shock.
The old Savage: “#￥@%!”
He Chongyang: “#￥%@!”
The old Savage: “$#@$.”
He Chongyang’s beautiful big eyes became misty, and his emotions came very quickly. He struggled to jump down from the arms of the savage sorceress and pointed at the old Savage,””You! You …”
The savage sorceress quickly squatted down and whispered something to he Chongyang.
“Ya!” He Chongyang stomped his feet.”You’re all bad people! All of them!”
Then, he Chongyang turned and ran away. His voice seemed to be choked with emotion.
“Little double sun.” Jiang Xiao turned around and tried to follow …
“Hello, human.” “It’s been a long time since humans visited this place,” ponytail said.
Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment before turning around to look at the old Savage.
What did it mean to have perfect pronunciation?
The old Savage laughed. The wrinkles on his face started to pile up. To be honest, his face was a little ugly.
“You can call me blue,” he said.”It’s the name Ms. Zhu gave me.”
Blue?
You don’t have blue either?
Jiang Xiao blinked and sized up old blue.
“Hehe.” Blue chuckled and said in a friendly manner,”when I first met Ms. Zhu Yue, she was holding a crying baby and was chased by the ape ghouls. My people and I chased them away. In our language, the word ‘attack’ sounds like ‘blue’.”
Blue demonstrated it on the spot.”Bulun. Hmm. It means to charge and kill.”
“What happened to little Chongyang?” Jiang Xiao asked with a frown.
Old blue didn’t respond at all. His turbid eyes flickered with a trace of reminiscence as he said,””Ms. Zhu Yue is he Chongyang’s mother. That encounter was also an accident. If she didn’t have the baby in her arms, perhaps we wouldn’t have saved her, and there wouldn’t be a story. ”
Jiang Xiao suppressed his doubts, for he knew that he Chongyang wouldn’t be in any danger.
“Ms. Zhu Yue …” Blue’s elbow was on the stone chair’s armrest, and his old Palm was on his face. He said softly,”she brought us more civilization. She taught us the human language and words, she taught us military tactics, some interesting strategies, and she brought us a lot of valuable knowledge.”
Blue leaned forward slightly and placed his elbows on his knees. He then lowered his head and looked at Jiang Xiao with his huge, turbid eyes.”Ms. Zhu Yue asked us to remember one thing: The difference between humans and animals is in their intelligence, and the difference between humans and humans is still in their intelligence. ”
Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and the arc of the quanhuan mask was also a little strange.
“She taught us to delay satisfaction,” blue said while looking at Jiang Xiao quietly.
“You?” Jiang Xiao was slightly taken aback.”What you?”
Jiang Xiao looked at blue dumbfoundedly … Why don’t you teach me what satisfaction is?
Blue continued,”she called this place the birch forest, and it’s what she called a paradise.”
This place was surrounded by mountains, and the mountains were tall, so few other species would jump down here. This place has everything we need to survive, food, water, and a stable living environment. ”
Jiang Xiao laughed and said,”that’s not what I saw. The ape ghouls almost wiped you out.”
Blue shook his head.”The ape Ghoul King was just an accident. Perhaps it brought its group here by mistake and led the local ape ghouls. As for the local ape ghouls, they’re creatures that we breed. ”
Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.
Blue said,”we don’t have the ability to raise ape ghouls for now, so we can only do so.” Ms. Zhu Yue told us that the ape ghouls are our stable source of food. Even if we are mortal enemies, we can’t destroy them all at once in this relatively closed environment.
Once the ape ghouls in the birch forest die out and farming can’t meet our survival needs, internal strife will happen. I lead a tribe with thousands of people, and I know our daily consumption. ”
Jiang Xiao was shocked and nodded silently.
Blue continued,”Ms. Zhu Yue taught us not to pick up the fruit and eat it in one bite. We have to make the magical soil react with the fruit. In a few months, there will be more fruits.
She told us not to replenish all the fish in the river in one go. If we take a little, the river will give us more. ”
At this moment, Jiang Xiao realized that he was being taught a lesson by the savages …
Blue said,”my tribe is thriving and prosperous. We live a safe life in this white birch forest.” Human, now tell me, what reason do you have to move me so that an outsider like you can live?”
Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.
Blue slowly stood up with his bone staff.””Everything I’ve said is to express my good impression of humans. I’m also telling you how precious and difficult it was for my tribe to get to where it is today.
However, Ms. Zhu Yue told me not to trust humans so easily. I have great respect for her, but I don’t want to judge you or make a decision so easily. ”
Jiang Xiao looked at blue silently and knew where the topic would go.
Blue said,”you’ve saved he Chongyang, many of our tribesmen, and killed the ape Ghoul King. These are your actions. I’m willing to pay you my respect and gratitude. So, human, tell me that you’ll always be living here, right?” You won’t leave. ”
Jiang Xiao, who had the STAR technique perception, had already keenly sensed that a large number of savage warriors had gathered outside the cave.
“Hehe.” Jiang Xiao laughed and said,”are you worried that I’ll expose your paradise when I go out? What good does that do me?”
Blue: “Ms. Zhu Yue said that humans are complicated creatures. They have higher intelligence.” This planet is more dangerous than your home. All the humans who set foot on this planet will do anything to survive. ”
I’ve saved your tribe and killed the ape Ghoul King. If you’re still not satisfied with this, I don’t know what to say.” Jiang Xiao said in a deep voice,”besides, do you really think you can stop me?”
“Ms. Zhu Yue is right. I’ve never been able to control the scale of communication with others. After all, I’m facing my own people.” Blue sighed softly.”I’m sorry that my words made you feel disgusted. Also, you can explain to me what ‘proof of allegiance’ is later. ”
Blue changed the topic and continued.”But this is my home. Ms. Zhu Yue said that if a certain group wants to survive here, this white birch forest will be the perfect place to live.
One day, someone would discover this place and take over it. I hope that you can stay here forever, and you will enjoy the treatment of a hero. ”
“Hehe.” Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and smiled, not knowing what to say.
Blue replied with a serious expression,”to you, perhaps it’s only disdain.” To us, the white birch forest is the foundation of our survival. We have different considerations and concerns. Humans have high intelligence, so I believe you can understand me. ”
“Old man, your words are indeed interesting.” Jiang Xiao waved his hand and said,”let me tell you two facts.”
“Huh?” blue asked.
Jiang Xiao raised a finger and said,”I can lie to you. I’ll say that I’ll stay here for the rest of my life. Who will you send to guard me every day?”
I’m a fugitive and I disappeared without a trace. Your soldiers have seen me use this STAR technique. You can’t even rear ape ghouls, so what are you going to use to stop me?”
Bru was speechless.
Jiang Xiao raised his second finger and said,’second, have you heard of white Ghoul witches? It’s also a creature that lives in the land of Beijiang. ”
Blue nodded.
Jiang Xiao said,’it has a STAR technique called bait. And I am the bait!”
Blue was speechless.
Jiang Xiao said,”my actual body isn’t here. As long as I want to, the location of your home has already been exposed. Do you understand what I mean?”
Blue’s breathing gradually quickened.
Jiang Xiao said,”you don’t have what I want here. There won’t be any conflicts of interest between us.” You don’t need to pray for me to be merciful. The only thing you need to pray for now is that I’m a kind person. ”
Jiang Xiao then walked towards the tunnel and said,””We’ve already made things clear. You can think about what you should do. Now, I hope to put more time and energy on the little double sun.
Also, don’t tell anyone that I’m the bait, or else we’ll all be in trouble. ”
Behind him, Blue’s gloomy face looked as if it could freeze water.
While walking out of the tunnel, Jiang Xiao stopped in his tracks and said,””By the way, your hero wants to eat grilled fish tonight. Remember to arrange it.”
Bru was speechless.
Jiang Xiao walked out of the tunnel step by step and saw a group of huge savage warriors at the entrance of the cave.
Blue’s voice came from the cave in the distance.””$#@(Make way).”
