"I haven't been here for more than ten years. I didn't expect it to be the same as before."
Tantai Zhongyi looked down from a high altitude. Although his tone was a little emotional, deep down his eyes were extremely indifferent.
He has stood at the top of the world. Apart from the higher realm of martial arts, there is nothing that can resonate with him. The emotions shown at this moment are just the need to maintain his own image.
When the surrounding warriors saw that the great elder seemed to be nostalgic, they quickly flattered him, but Tantai Zhongyi just laughed it off.
This county town has always been a gathering place for car dealers and individual warriors. Because it is closest to the ancient land, it also bears the important task of guarding against giant beasts. Therefore, there are several fifty-meter-high archery towers standing on the edge of the county town. Their appearance is similar to that of a single tower. The watchtower is very similar, taller but less imposing than the latter.
Those brown-painted watchtowers have been in service here for more than a hundred years, and are covered with ivy. Occasionally, mottled spots are exposed from the gaps, like the marks of time.
At this moment, in front of the large archery tower on the southeast side of the county city, a group of people in rich clothes were waiting eagerly.
High in the sky, a flattering voice of inquiry came from the side: "Great Elder, the local prominent families seem to have known about it, and I wonder if they are lucky enough to meet you?"
Their team of several hundred people flew in at high speed from Xichi Town without saying hello in advance or deliberately hiding their traces.
The local noble families, who were already in a state of panic due to the large-scale invasion of the Song family, have been paying close attention to the county and city in the past two days. The reason why they gathered below and looked forward to it was because they saw the extraordinary team of great horned eagles in the sky. In addition, people with excellent eyesight saw the crowd on the back of the giant horned eagle and the costumes of the Gu family and the eldest grandson family, and immediately knew that these were people from other big families.
In normal times, those big families who want to rely on each other may not look down on them. Now if they can form a good relationship in person, I'm afraid it won't be a smoke coming out of the ancestral graves. There's no harm in taking a gamble.
"Do you think I changed my route to see them?"
Tantai Zhongyi glanced indifferently, and the worshiper of the Gu family who had just spoken suddenly broke into a cold sweat, turned pale, and hurriedly shut up.
At the same time, there was a feeling of fear in his heart. Just the indifferent glance from the Great Elder made him feel as if he was suffocated. He actually felt like he was going to die in a few seconds. He should leave this kind of temptation to others in the future. It was too scary!
…
The slowed-down horned eagle team in the sky once again flapped its wings and picked up speed, passing straight through the top of the archery tower and flying towards the due west. The height of the eagle group was only about a hundred meters, and its terrifying momentum made the noisy crowd below for a moment Silence.
Not to mention the lost crowd in front of the archery tower, some men scattered in the surrounding shops and under the trees withdrew their gaze and pressed the communicator.
"The target has been reached. A flock of more than sixty great horned eagles flew straight over."
…
"They're coming."
Song Tianhua looked at the dense Pinus sylvestris forest around him, put away the [Wood Emperor Plate] with his backhand, walked to Lu Ze and whispered softly.
To be honest, Song Tianhua was feeling uneasy when he said this. He was afraid that if Lu Ze said, "Let them come to see me," then they would probably start a fight if the words got out.
"Oh? It's quite fast." Lu Ze turned around with a smile, rubbing the red phoenix ring on his index finger with his left thumb, "Let's go out and greet each other. After all, we are going to do business in the future, and everyone who comes is welcome. guest."
Lu Ze showed a gentle smile, which made Song Tianhua feel dazed for a while. He sighed deeply at this strength in his heart and responded:
"Mr. Song Jiawei followed suit."
He looked at Lu Zefeng's calm expression, and then at the crimson ring that the other party had been rubbing. He thought that the red ring must not be a common object, otherwise Mr. Lu wouldn't be able to spin and play with it with his fingers. more than hours.
Just as he subconsciously followed Lu Ze, something seemed to touch a string in his mind, and he suddenly looked up at the towering Pinus sylvestris forest.
After this moment, he did something that even he felt was baffling.
As Song Tianhua walked, he unfolded the wooden emperor plate that was going to be handed over to the clan for worship. He pressed the inner plate with the five fingers of his right hand and turned it gently.
There were rustling sounds from all around, and the sylvestris pine forest that was originally a hundred meters high suddenly became thicker again. When I looked closely, I realized that it was densely packed with thorn vines.
There are dense protrusions on the surface of the dark green giant vine. Those protrusions are hidden under the vine leaves as big as a human face, and they continue to transform as the giant vine grows.
When Song Tianhua followed Lu Ze from the center of the venue to the imposing "Giant Tree Gate Tower", the giant vines had already climbed all over the tree crown, and sprouted ferocious spikes and red flowers with a weird butterfly pattern.
The special plants cultivated by the Song family - the psychedelic thorn vine, with spikes that are harder than steel and flowers that can spray psychedelic spores, rely on the tall and hard Scotch pine forest to directly become the normal protective cover of this base, at least for birds. It's impossible to fall straight from the sky.
Song Tianhua vaguely felt that the curve of the corner of Lu Ze's mouth had become wider. He seemed quite satisfied with his actions, and even his tone was gentler than before.
"Elder Song is interested."
After hearing these words, Song Tianhua's face immediately burst into a smile.
Sure enough, the idea he had just had an effect.
Since Mr. Lu asked the Song family to surround the entire area and leave only one gate, he must only allow the other party to enter through the front gate, so as to achieve the purest provocation effect.
The other party came here on a flying bird, and he took the initiative to block the way to land from the sky. The "guests" coming today all have status and status, so it is impossible for them to jump down from the sky one by one. If they do, the price will drop. Needless to say, the deterrent effect of falling from the sky is gone.
as expected!
Mr. Lu is very satisfied.
So now, it’s just a matter of waiting?
Song Tianhua, who felt that his mission was half completed, glanced at Lu Ze again. His calm smile gave people great confidence.
Song Tianhua spread out his palms, and at some point, beads of sweat appeared on his palms.
It was a sour feeling rising from the top of the heart, along the throat and arms, directly stimulating the palms of the hands in waves.
This was the first time he felt excited since he started practicing spiritual practice since he was born.
It has nothing to do with nourishing one's energy, it is the excitement of standing in the tide and witnessing history.
And in what way will he, Song Tianhua, enter this period of history?
Upon closer inspection, the anticipation of experiencing it was what really made his palms sweat.
"Nice bird."
Suddenly, a voice rang out from beside him, awakening Song Tianhua from his deep intoxication.
Um?
He followed Lu Ze's line of sight and looked intently. A black line appeared at the end of his line of sight, and then the black line spread into a herringbone, flying towards here like an arrow.
"You mean the Great Horned Eagle?"
"This is the first time I've seen them. Please help me ask how to sell them later." Lu Zejiao stared at the giant eagles with interest.
Although their speed is slower than the Song's Wood-Crown Crane, their size is obviously much larger and they can carry more people.
After the tower is erected, the shadow domain covers most of the earth. These bird mounts that can quickly adapt to the foggy environment will play a huge strategic role in the early stage.
Song Tianhua had a rather strange expression on his face, and he carefully considered his words before saying, "Mr. Lu, although those great horned eagles were bred and domesticated with the help of my Song family, their habitat is on Bijia Mountain of the Tantai family, and in addition, the great horned eagle is the only one that can resemble The Tantai family has always taken a very close look at domesticated birds like the wooden-crowned crane, and they have never heard of them being sold to anyone in these years..."
"Of course the deal is a consensual one."
"Well, that's the truth, but -"
"They will be willing." Lu Ze's tone was full of certainty, "I, Lu Ze, have always convinced people with reason."
"..."
Song Tianhua will never be punished again.
Encourage people to be good and convince them with reason.
Why do these familiar words suddenly become unfamiliar?
While he was talking, several eagle calls came from the sky.
Song Tianhua looked up and saw a large shadow flying in an arc from the distance, as if he was observing from a circle.
But the dense psychedelic thorn vines on the giant Scotch pine tree crown have armed the base that the Song family is constructing into a huge thorn fortress. Until all the Scotch pine trees are cut down and used, those birds will definitely not be able to fly directly from the sky. landed.
A moment later, a strong wind blew up in the wilderness a hundred meters away. A group of great horned eagles folded their wings and landed on the ground. More than 500 people jumped from the backs of the eagles and spontaneously formed three teams.
Everyone's expressions were not very good. There was only one exit left in the huge base: the main entrance.
Moreover, when people from the three families arrived, no one from the Song family came out to greet them... This was completely opposite to what they had imagined before arriving!
The Song family, this is really a bastard who is determined to defy heaven.
Many eyes in the crowd were filled with gloating, and then everyone looked stern at the same time, looking in awe at the figure walking off the eagle's back with hands behind his back.
"Song Tianhua, come out and see me."
Tantai Zhongyi's eyes were indifferent, and the sound of the falling words actually turned into an arc-shaped shock wave, rolling up weeds and smoke, and slamming into the fence.
