Wu Gen squatted in front of a newly dug pit, gestured, looked at the thin man who was tightly tied and stained with blood, and said to the precious elephant in the pit: "Dig deeper, like A master like him, who knows how to hold his breath, will not be suffocated to death if buried in the soil for a while. If it is buried shallowly, he may dig it out bit by bit."
Baoxiang shook off the mud on his hand and couldn't help complaining, "I knew I wouldn't choose dumplings. It would take so much effort and trouble, so I might as well just cut it off with a knife."
Qiao Ban came over and spoke cautiously, "I said, if you want to prevent him from escaping from the soil, I have a way."
Wu Gen and Bao Xiang both cheered up, "What can I do?"
The bridge team thought for a moment and then said: "You can find hard wood from the mountain and make a human-shaped coffin. The inner wall of the coffin is inlaid with spikes, then put the person inside and nail the coffin tightly. In this case, he only needs to be inside If you struggle, you will be injured by the sharp thorns, and you will bleed to death little by little."
Wu Gen thought for a while, nodded and then shook his head, "It's a good method, but this person's body is so hard, the spikes can't move."
"It's okay." Qiao Ban quickly explained, "First of all, this person's body is so strong, he must have used some kind of secret method. Since it is a secret method, it must be very taxing on the body. I don't believe he can maintain it forever.
Secondly, the body is just hard, but the internal organs are still soft. You can find some poisonous insects, mice and the like and put them in the coffin together. When these rats are hungry, they will look for food. Although the body is hard and difficult to chew, the human body has its own seven orifices, and these places can still be penetrated. When these hungry rats and insects burrow into his body and gnaw at his flesh and blood, his secret technique will also be broken. "
Wu Gen and Bao Xiang looked at each other and felt as if there were thousands of insects and ants crawling around their bodies. They shivered and gave a thumbs up to the bridge team, "Good boy, I'll see you on weekdays." He's gentle and elegant, but he didn't expect to have such a vicious method. He's so ruthless, I admire him."
Bao Xiang jumped up from the pit and was about to go up the mountain with an axe. "I'm going to chop down two more trees. Let's make dumplings for both of them. This is a good way."
Qiao Ban also looked excited and ran to Wu Gen, "I'm going to dig up some insects and ants, and I also ask Baoxiang to bring some honey back if he sees wild bees. Apply the honey on the seven orifices of the two people, and the insects will It will be faster if the ants enter the body."
Wu Gen jumped back in fright, "Brother, you can go ahead. It's better for us to keep a distance from each other in the future. I always find it a bit scary when we are so close."
Shui Congyue, who was sitting far away, couldn't bear to see her eyes. He was about to speak, but saw Wu Gen quietly waving his hand towards him, and then he stopped without saying a word.
There is no shortage of these snakes, insects, ants, and mice in the mountains. Soon the bridge team wrapped a bunch of them in clothes and put them on the ground. The dense insects and ants were crawling around, making people's scalp numb.
The thin man looked panicked, screamed strangely, and moved his body desperately to avoid those insects and ants. Even the middle-aged man who looked quite calm swallowed a lot of saliva.
After killing a few ants that crawled to his mouth, the thin man finally broke down, exchanged tears with each other, and prayed again and again, "My lords, I am really obsessed, and I have just offended several adults. As long as I can be spared this It’s a dog’s life, you can do whatever you want.”
Wu Gen waved his fingers and said, "How can it be done? I'll spare your lives. If I come back and bring someone to hunt me down, I'll do it. Although I'm not afraid, but these waves are annoying, aren't they? .”
"No, no, no, sir, please rest assured. My brother is the fifth elder in the village and can still say something. As long as we are released, we will not bother the adults anymore." As he said this, he turned to look at the middle-aged man on the ground. The man said, "Brother, please tell me something. Is it possible that both of us brothers should die here today? It doesn't matter if we die. Without your fighting power in the village, we will be robbed by people from other villages." , how can we survive."
The middle-aged man sighed, with a gloomy look on his face, and said helplessly: "Don't worry, everyone, as long as we let us go, we will not disturb you anymore. I can guarantee that."
"Then about your son being beaten..." Wu Gen hesitated.
"Don't worry, sir, that bastard threw it himself, and you have nothing to do with it."
Now that the middle-aged man had given in, he simply let go of his reserve.
"Well, you two are indeed aware of current affairs. One more thing. Just now you said that an outsider was captured in the village. Whose name is it and what does he look like?" Wu Gen continued to ask.
"That man has a beard. He is thirty or forty years old. What is his name?" The thin man quickly answered and said with a flattering smile, "Is it possible that your Excellency knows this man? Don't worry, this man is just imprisoned in the village. He didn’t suffer much.”
Wu Gen quickly asked, "Do you know a person named Ye Ziming? This person should be traveling with this guy called Tie Yan." When Baoxiang picked up the Fengxi Sword, Wu Gen had a bad premonition. Although my friendship with Ye Ziming is not very deep, if we can save each other after getting to know each other, we still have to save him one time.
The thin man looked puzzled, "I have never heard of this person. I only caught this one in the village. I thought he had good skills. If I can temper his temper, I will stay in the village as a guard. If he is unruly, So he took it to the market and sold it, and he could still get some wealth in exchange."
Wu Gen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard this. Maybe Ye Ziming had encountered something unexpected. At this time, the middle-aged man said uncertainly: "I heard a few days ago that the guards of the alliance captured an outsider and will be auctioning it in the market in two days. I wonder if this is what the adults say. Ye Ziming."
Hearing that there were people from other continents being captured, Bao Xiang, who had just returned from hiding outside the mountain col, was furious, "You are also a human race, why are you embarrassing your own family like this?"
After hearing Baoxiang's accusation, the middle-aged man sighed, "It's hard to explain in words." He introduced some of the current situation of the Dayizhou human race to several people.
These human races in Dayizhou all settled here from other continents. Because they were outsiders, they had a lot of friction with the local indigenous people. In fact, there are also native human races in Dayi Continent, such as the Ming Clan, Li Clan, etc. However, compared with the human races outside the continent, their habits and customs are very different, and they do not identify with these foreign human races.
The number of people who entered the Great Relic Continent was small, and they did not know each other, so at the beginning they were mostly bullied by other races. They were displaced and scattered all over the place, and could only rely on other large races.
Later, some human races who could not bear the oppression fled to places far away from other large races, and gradually gathered into villages, forming tribal existences. Living in these desolate lands, resources are scarce, so there will be some wars between tribes, plundering resources and populations from each other. Over time, a tradition of robbing people has been formed.
But this is not a solution, because each tribe is relatively small, and over time, there will not even be enough people to ensure reproduction. As a result, alliances and the like existed between tribes, which were used to regulate conflicts among tribes and prohibit members of the alliance from attacking each other. However, this kind of plundering of the population has become a habit, and conflicts will break out between alliances from time to time, and prisoners of war will be sold openly in the market.
As for these foreigners, since they did not belong to any alliance and were less exposed to the risk of an alliance war, they became easy prey for robbery. Even if they are not sold to other tribes, it is still good to stay in the tribe. Having one more person is a strength, so the middle-aged man's village will not be willing to kill that man named Tie Yan.
There is a reason why these people's villages were built here. Due to its proximity to Fuyu Mountain, other foreign races in the Great Heritage Continent generally do not dare to cause trouble here, so it is relatively safe. Moreover, those who have returned to the truth generally interfere less with external affairs, and let these people settle in the surrounding areas as long as they do not disturb Fuyu Mountain.
What interested Wu Gen was the patterns on these people. The two people also talked vaguely. After all, they were their special skills. It turns out that these patterns are called inscriptions, and they are a special kind of talisman, but this talisman is tattooed on the human body. For the more advanced ones, the inscriptions are engraved on the skin. Those with more advanced cultivation are carved on their bones.
Each type of inscription has different effects, some are solid, some increase strength, some speed up, some turn into weapons, and so on. Each type of inscription requires communication of thoughts and activation of blood energy. As the practice time increases, the power will become greater and greater.
However, not everyone can have an inscription on their body. There is also something to do with qualifications. Wu Gen can understand this. Not everyone outside the Great Relic Continent can draw talismans. After all, there are only a few people who can use talismans. Even a blood spirit talisman took Wu Gen a lot of effort to complete.
So, these
Those who can have inscriptions engraved on their bodies are the geniuses in this village, and they must be cultivated with emphasis. The number of inscriptions that each person can carry is limited. Generally speaking, only one type can be engraved, and those with better qualifications can only have two or three types. If there are any more, the inscription pattern will consume too much of people's blood and drain them alive.
What's even more powerful is that people with different inscriptions can use the inscriptions as matchmakers to combine with each other to form a large formation. The power exerted by this combined formation is extremely astonishing, and some can even fight across two realms.
The middle-aged man once proudly recounted such an incident. The guards of the Fengzheng Alliance once formed a formation of sixteen people to block the attack of more than a hundred people from his clan. However, these sixteen people eventually ran out of energy and blood. And die. Because once the formation is activated, under the connection of the inscriptions, as long as it does not stop, it will continuously absorb everyone's energy and life, and this demand is not based on the ability of the weakest person, but based on the endurance of the weakest person. Measured by the needs of the strongest person. Therefore, when the weak enter the battle, they are often the first to die.
There is nothing that can be done about it. There are very few human beings in Da Yizhou, so they can only respond to the enemy with this small-scale group battle. And even if they are going to die, the weak must die first, so that the strong ones who survive can better protect the group. The method is cruel, but also helpless, just to survive.
After listening to the introductions of the two people, Wu Gen and others were also sighing, and they also understood a little more about the practices of these people from the Great Relic Continent. As the saying goes, you should never persuade others to do good unless you have suffered others' hardships. You should never judge other people's actions from your own standpoint.
"Why not take advantage of the opening of the Great Relic Continent to lead the tribesmen to leave this place and return to their respective homelands." Qihe didn't understand. He could come in, but these people had no chance to leave, so why didn't anyone think of it.
The middle-aged man motioned to Wu Gen to bring some water to his seriously injured brother. He licked his dry lips and asked with a wry smile, "Everyone, have you ever been willing to stay here?"
Qi Heyi choked on his words. If he was willing to stay, why would he fight to the death with these two people?
The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head, "Look, you don't want to stay here either. My people have lived in Dayizhou for several generations or even more than ten generations, so how can we want to leave. Besides, if we really go back, the people outside will Will you accept us and allow us to compete with you for good land and beautiful homes?
I heard that you are not even tolerant of the soldiers who were guarding the border and suffered heavy casualties. How could you tolerate us? After three generations away from home, they are just passers-by, and it is a blessing to not fight again. "
Everyone was silent for a moment, what the middle-aged man said was true. If they really want to leave this place and return to their homeland, the better ones will be scattered all over the place, and the unlucky ones may be harmed by Pao Ze, who is also a human race.
Human nature dictates, it’s all about self-interest.
