The big monster died on the spot, and its huge body fell to the ground. The little prince relaxed all over and exhaled a long breath.
Only then did he dare to take a big breath, which he had been holding just now.
The crew members who came from the dock to support me were dumbfounded. The evil god had been destroyed and the queen was dead. They had knives in their hands and they didn't know whether they should chop at me or not.
Don't cut it... I killed the evil god they worshiped, but cut it. I even killed the evil god, so how can they be my opponent?
When he was hesitating, the priest ran out. She also had a staff in her hand, but it was a short one, like a magic wand.
She pointed her stick at my head and mumbled something.
After listening to her words, the crew members put down their knives one after another, and the residents hiding in the houses also came out one after another.
They surrounded me, and the little prince instantly became nervous again.
The priest came near, stood in the midst of the crowd, and said to me in the common language of the four nations that they wanted to thank me because I had rescued them from the control of the evil god.
I was a little confused. The priest went on to explain that they were not voluntarily offering sacrifices to the evil god. In fact, they were targeted by the evil god. If they did not submit human sacrifices according to its wishes, the residents would be massacred.
They also escaped, but the evil god could always catch up with them, and transferring the residents in batches would arouse its suspicion.
Once they escaped to the river and were already far away by boat, but they were still caught up by the little monster.
In the end, the boat was destroyed and everyone died, and the corpses in the river were carried ashore by them and hung in the city for public display.
They were closest to Sheng Yu, and they had sent envoys to ask for help from Sheng Yu, hoping that Sheng Yu's country could send troops to destroy the evil god.
As a thank you, they are willing to offer the Eye of the Forest, which is the most precious treasure of their clan and can see all the environment clearly at night.
It sounds familiar to me, like infrared glasses?
The priest said bitterly: "Shengyu Kingdom is not trustworthy, cheated us of our treasures, and refused to fulfill its promise!"
I glanced at the little prince, and he nodded, indicating that it was indeed true.
The Kingdom of Shengyu defrauded them of their treasures, and they wanted to get them back, or steal them. Since there were no martial arts masters among them, it would be too difficult to sneak into the palace treasure house.
In their view, entering the palace as a beautiful maiden is a shortcut. If you only become a palace maid, you will not be able to get close to the treasure house.
They choose to send one person to the highest seat or the second highest seat.
If you go into the treasure house to get things openly, you won't be intercepted by the guards.
In Shengyu, only the emperor and queen can enter the treasure house.
This treasure house is not a place for silks, silks, gold and silver jewelry.
It is a place where the Shengyu national treasure is hidden. It is not a rare treasure and has no right to be placed inside.
This group of people who call themselves the 'Sky Eye Clan' selected a well-trained poison master and sent her to sneak into the palace to carry out the task of retrieving the treasure.
Of course, as long as she succeeds, the matter of sending troops to assist the Sky Eye Clan and get rid of the evil god can be completed at the same time.
Therefore, the poison master's mission is to sit on the throne of the queen. If that doesn't work, then help her son ascend to the throne.
It sounds like their plan is outrageous. Going to the palace to steal treasures and hiring a charlatan is much easier than ascending the throne?
But they no longer trust outsiders. If the hired people take the treasure away and don't give it to them, where will they find someone?
Unlike Shengyu Palace and Treasure House, they don't have legs and can't run.
If one person fails, another person can be sent to continue the task.
They have their thoughts, and things have already happened, so anything is just hindsight.
I helped them deal with the evil god by accident, and they stopped pursuing the matter of the little prince.
The priest also said that they had promised that if the little prince's mother completed her mission and helped the tribe get rid of the evil god, they would make her their queen.
This promise is still valid now. After saying it, he looked at me expectantly.
I looked at the little prince. He is the son of a poison master. Should he inherit the throne?
The priest seemed to understand my eyes and quickly added: "Whoever kills the evil god will be the queen."
The little prince nodded again and again. The residents in the city saw how he had just pissed himself after being frightened by the evil god.
Even if the priest agrees to make him king, he cannot agree. In the memory of the subjects, there will always be an image of their king peeing his pants. When he is on the throne, he will feel like sitting on pins and needles, like thorns on his back, and like a lump in his throat.
Besides, if people here don't pursue the case, Sheng Yu will inevitably be held responsible.
I came here to take him back to be punished.
I had no interest in the throne and politely refused, but the priests insisted on fulfilling their promise.
The priest first arranged for people to clean up the corpses and destroyed houses in the city, especially the queen's body, and held a grand funeral.
She asked us to stay for a few days so we could discuss anything.
The little prince is really not suitable to hit the road right away.
The priest entertained us to live in the palace. The Tianyan clan did not say anything about marriage. The queen did not have a husband, but she had a bunch of children.
Because of this, they decided that the little prince was a member of their clan and should be dealt with according to their clan rules.
It doesn't matter who the father is, the children all take their mother's surname.
When the children grow up, boys are kicked out of the house and left to live independently.
The girl stayed at home and lived with her mother.
If nothing unexpected happens, we will not separate and live separately.
Of course, this is the rule of the royal family. For common people, if a boy is born, he will be raised by his biological father, and if a girl is born, the mother will raise him.
I have observed them, and men still do most of the physical work, including guarding, hunting, picking, building houses...
Women only do light jobs or even nothing at all.
The priest's explanation for this is that the spiritual bird only listens to the call of women and brings detoxifying grass to them on time every year.
There are not many people in the Sky Eye Clan, but there are quite a lot of stories.
The priests were also willing to let me know more about them.
She said that the ancestors of the Sky Eyes were cursed and polluted by a toxin that had penetrated deep into their bones.
This curse cannot be shaken off, haunting them from generation to generation. Parents pass it on to their children, and children pass it on to their children. It is passed down from generation to generation, and no one is spared.
Fortunately, their ancestors discovered an herb that could alleviate the damage caused by toxins. Unfortunately, it could only alleviate the damage but not eradicate it.
And where this herb grows, no one can reach it.
Only the spiritual bird in this forest can fly in and take out the herbs.
The spiritual bird only listens to the calls of women and ignores the voices of men.
Therefore, every year, women in the city, regardless of size, gather in the square to hold a calling ceremony.
They will sing a song for one day continuously. The spiritual birds like the song, and the next day they will go to the place where there are herbs and get the antidote for them.
However, the spiritual bird can only hold enough for them to use for a year at a time, and nothing more.
It is also for this reason that the Sky Eye Clan always controls the population.
This is the second hidden reason why they cannot leave the jungle.
But they won't tell outsiders, after all, it is a matter of life and death.
The priest sighed, shook his head and said, "Although the spiritual bird is smart, it is very aggressive and likes to eat people."
I suddenly remembered the four-eyed white bird I saw on the way here. Its image was also carved on the top of the stone pillar.
The sound of women singing can only make it pick up the antidote, but cannot make it give up its hobby of cannibalism.
To protect themselves, they still wear wooden intestines.
The priest showed me the large intestine hanging on her body and asked me to touch it.
This thing looks like pig intestines, but it's actually a plant vine.
Coming from that deformed forest, they discovered that as long as they were wearing this thing, the spiritual birds would not attack.
The spirit bird is their life-saving bird, so it also eats people. The Sky Eye people have never thought of getting rid of the spirit bird.
What I care about is the antidote they take.
I used my powers to examine their bodies and found that there were indeed toxins in their bodies.
But this is not like ordinary animal toxins or plant toxins. Based on my inspection experience in the modern world, this seems to be radiation sickness?
I'm not sure yet, and besides, they don't know why their ancestors were poisoned. Now all the tribesmen think they were cursed.
Their tribe has always lived in the jungle and has never left, but there is no radioactive material in the forest...
The image of a deformed forest suddenly flashed through my mind.
Maybe there is a radiation source there?
"What? Are you going to the sinkhole?" The priest heard what I said and was interested in the antidote. He wanted to see it for himself. He quickly waved his hand: "Don't go, you can't go. It's an inaccessible place of death!"
"What's the danger?" I asked humbly.
"There is a death energy that never dissipates. No life can survive in the death energy, and it is useless not to breathe. We have tried hundreds or thousands of times, and many people have died, but we have never succeeded."
"Don't get excited, I'll go over and take a look. I won't enter the death zone first and just take a look at the outside."
When the priest heard what I said, his expression relaxed, and he immediately arranged for someone to show me the way. ap.
The little prince had freshened up and changed his clothes. He was no longer in such a mess, but he was in a state of low spirits and his eyes were dark. He had not had a good sleep these days. The night he stayed in the city, he woke up from a nightmare. The palace was not originally Big, his voice attracted a group of guards, and people thought he had been assassinated.
The priest had promised him that he would be exempted from punishment, told him to rest peacefully, and gave him a few strings of wooden intestines to save his life at any time.
It turns out that I didn't plan to take him there, but he didn't dare to stay alone in Stone City.
Although the priest repeatedly assured him of his safety, he was still uneasy and afraid of staying with the Sky Eye tribe.
He followed me out of the city, saying he wanted to see the forbidden areas of the clan.
The guide led us on a very hidden road. To say it was a road is an exaggeration. If we came, we would not recognize it as a road.
Moreover, there are still overgrown branches and complex plants blocking the road.
The guide was cleaning the plants at the front, the little prince was in the middle, and I was at the end.
It can be seen that the Sky Eye Clan has given up on searching for the antidote. This road should have been specially opened, but was no longer used, and plants were allowed to grow wildly on it.
But when the road was built, special treatment should have been done. No plants grew on the road. All plants were higher than the road and grew in a hanging manner.
This does not prevent them from covering the road tightly.
Only when clearing and felling, can you see that there is a path with no grass underneath.
