In the dark cave, there was deathly silence. I don’t know how long it had passed!
"Senior!" With an exclamation, Lu Chen sat up suddenly and glanced around, finding that it was pitch black with only a few light spots floating in one direction.
"Senior Great Witch!" Lu Chen whispered, stood up and hurriedly followed. Soon, he felt dizzy.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw torches swaying in front of me. Figures stood upright like iron towers. Their whole bodies were tense, as if they were facing a powerful opponent. Their eyes were like knives, and their fighting spirit was soaring into the sky. They were holding various weapons in their hands, including bone knives. , stone axe, long bow...
Every weapon looked ordinary, simple to the extreme, and roughly crafted. Even the bone weapons were prototypes, but Lu Chen felt a different wave from those weapons.
The fluctuation felt a bit like the rumored witchcraft, which frightened him.
"Brother Baming!" He shouted and looked around, "Brother Baming, have you seen the light spots coming from the place of sacrifice?" Lu Chen pulled Baming aside and asked in a low voice.
"Bright spot?" Ba Ming frowned, glanced around, and finally shook his head, "Brother Lu, what happened?"
When Lu Chen heard this, he looked disappointed and shook his head. He had many questions to ask the great witch. Many past events were related to him, such as how to stop the tide of beasts in the near future and how to enter the sacrificial place of the other four tribes.
In the Lingtian Continent, there are thousands of races, and without exception, the sacrificial places and ancestral lands are forbidden areas for each race. People will not easily set foot in it. If they break in rashly, it is a declaration of war.
"I seem to have seen..."
"Stop!" As soon as Lu Chen spoke, a dark figure slowly condensed. On the bluestone disc in the distance, a figure stared at Lu Chen and others with eyes like a knife!
"High Priest!" The Miao people knelt on the ground. Lu Chen frowned slightly and stared at the figure on the bluestone. The word "forbidden" was obviously meant for him, "Is it true that the great witch is a taboo among the five tribes? ?" He was puzzled.
The Great Witch is the belief of the five tribes, and the five high priests are just the messengers among them. Such an existence would become a taboo for the five tribes, which puzzled Lu Chen.
"Get ready to enter the mountain!" The high priest's voice spread, and his figure disappeared on the bluestone.
"Don't let outsiders know about the great witch, remember!" The voice of the high priest suddenly came from Lu Chen's mind.
Looking around, he could not be found.
"Brother Lu, what's the matter with the white light spot you just mentioned?" Ba Ming stood up and asked.
Lu Chen shook his head, "I don't know, maybe it was the high priest who left behind to guide me out of the place of sacrifice!"
Hearing this, Ba Ming nodded. This possibility is extremely high. The sacrificial places are layered on top of each other. Although they are in a cave, they know that there are methods left by the great witch inside. It is not as simple as being in a cave. .
Soon, Zhongxu came slowly, "Get ready..." Before he could finish his words, he looked at the figure not far away with a strange expression on his face.
"Clan leader!" He clenched his hands into fists, placed them on his chest, and lowered his head to face Lu Chen.
"Brother Zhongxu, you..." Lu Chen looked confused.
"Clan leader..." There was a loud voice, and at a glance, everyone looked like Zhongxu, standing not far in front of Lu Chen with their heads lowered.
"What's going on?" Lu Chen was confused, not knowing what happened.
"Clan leader..." Ba Ming hesitated to speak. He was also puzzled. According to the traditions of the five clans, it was impossible for outsiders to become the clan leaders of each clan. However, at the moment, the high priest personally gave the order.
"An order from the high priest?" Lu Chen was surprised. Ever since he entered the Miao tribe, the only person he could feel hostility to was the high priest. Now, would she let herself become the leader of the Miao tribe?
"Isn't she letting herself take the blame?" Lu Chen guessed.
"With a dark mentality, I don't know how someone like you can lead the Miao people!" A cold snort reached Lu Chen's ears. He looked around and found that Ba Ming and others did not react.
"My master has a dark mentality. Why don't you dare to come out if you are upright?" Lu Chen's mental power spread, and he knew that the high priest would be able to detect it.
"Is it wrong? I need strength.
Strength requires the ability to control but not the ability to control! "The high priest's mental fluctuations came.
"Stop, I just want to ask, great high priest of the Miao people, are you a boy or a girl?" Lu Chen smiled.
"What do you mean?" The high priest's mental energy surged, and a chill completely enveloped Lu Chen.
"Tsk tsk, don't let me talk anymore. You have a dark mentality and are hiding in the dark!" Lu Chen didn't care. He was betting that the high priest would not dare to attack him at will.
"Rogue!" After saying that, the mental fluctuations receded like the tide.
"You're a gangster just by asking a man or woman?" Lu Chen was surprised, smiled, and looked at Ba Ming who straightened up beside him.
"Clan leader!" Ba Ming and Zhongxu looked respectful.
Among the five tribes, the hierarchy is very clear. Although many times the tribe leader and everyone are like a family, the inheritance of the five tribes makes them respect the tribe leader from the bottom of their hearts. In a land with barren mountains and rivers like Shiwanda Mountain, a tribe Whether it can continue depends on the patriarch's ability to control.
"Brothers, there is no need for this!" Lu Chen quickly raised his hand to stop everyone who was bending down to salute.
"Chief, this is the etiquette tradition of the Miao people. The new patriarch needs to offer sacrifices to heaven and receive gifts after taking over the important responsibilities. But this time it was rushed. We don't know why the high priest did this?" Zhongxu said, they have never encountered this kind of thing. Pass.
The clan leader was appointed in a hurry, and he was still a foreigner.
You must know that the Miao tribe has not had a clan leader for several years. This is already an unusual situation among the five tribes. Now that a foreign tribe is suddenly asked to shoulder the heavy burden, many tribes in the entire tribe will be dissatisfied.
There are many Miao tribes, and if this continues, it may cause internal changes within the tribe, and for the Miao people, it may even lead to genocide.
Lu Chen also shook his head when he heard this. He guessed that it was impossible for the high priest to let him take the blame. After all, there was an entire tribe behind him, which was quite involved.
"Two days ago, the high priest said that even if everyone dies when entering the mountain this time, nothing will happen to you!" Zhongxu's face was complicated. He also couldn't understand what the high priest was doing.
"That's what the high priest said?" Lu Chen was surprised. Seeing everyone nodding, he frowned slightly.
"Did I feel the hostility wrongly?" He really didn't understand. He didn't feel wrong about the malice, but what did he mean by what he said to the strong men who entered the mountain?
"There's no need to be polite. Let's go into the mountain. We will all be brothers from now on. If anything happens, we'll wait until everyone comes back safely this time!"
After Lu Chen finished speaking, he nodded to Ba Ming. Upon seeing this, the latter clasped his fists, his figure flashing, and walked toward the inner circle of the Miao people. After passing through the vast territory occupied by the Miao people, they would once again enter the dangerous Shiwan Mountain.
There, the beasts will no longer be afraid and will no longer be their restricted area. People will become the blood food of the beasts, especially the powerful human race, which is a temptation for the beasts.
They were galloping all the way, and everyone was very fast. In the Miao tribe, there was no need to be wary of beasts. With their speed, it was still close to dawn before everyone saw the tribe's defenses.
The defense here is different from the north. Over there, it is just a simple fence, but here is a city wall cast between giant peaks. The city wall looks very rough, with many city defense equipment standing on it. Within the city wall, the area is open and crisscrossed with ravines. Staggered, a strong smell of sulfur filled the air.
"Isn't the Miao land too big?"
Lu Chen was amazed. They were extremely fast and they were all top experts among the Miao people. After all, Lu Chen was at the bottom in terms of strength.
Before everyone set off, they were worried that the newly appointed patriarch would affect everyone's speed. Unexpectedly, this thin-looking figure had been following Ba Ming at the forefront.
After rushing all night, even the powerful Miao men's chests were heaving a little, but the thinnest figure seemed unaffected.
"Chief, the five tribes have been multiplying for a long time. Each small tribe has continued to spread out, which has naturally created a broad territory for each tribe. However, the expansion of the tribes has been towards the periphery of Shiwan Mountain. The southern area has only been continuously reinforced. Defense!" Ba Ming said, pointing to the towering city wall.
Lu Chen nodded. The expansion of endless years, if it expands from the southern region, will encounter
Warcraft will become more and more powerful, even causing dissatisfaction with powerful warcraft and besieging the five tribes.
"Are these fortifications?" Lu Chen said, pointing to the dense ravines on the ground.
Ba Ming nodded, motioned for everyone to rest first, and led Lu Chen towards the ravine. With just one glance, Lu Chen couldn't help but take a step back.
Ahead, in the ravines, sharp spears glowing with cold light were inserted upside down into the deep pits. Each one was as thin as a calf, with the tip downwards and barbs that made people feel chilling. Such spears, As long as a monster falls down, it is almost impossible to climb out.
Each deep pit is several feet wide, especially near the city wall, which is more than ten feet wide. Each gully is more than ten feet deep. There are layers of sulfur in the ravines, and some of them are filled with sulfur. A layer of viscous liquid is highly flammable.
This is specially prepared for the countless monsters in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Even if they can break through the towering and rough city wall in front of them, they will fall into the ravines.
Crossbow machines are scattered everywhere, and each crossbow machine is more terrifying than the one in Linghua Town. The crossbow arrows are as thick as an arm and made of fine iron. Similarly, barbs are forged at the tips.
What made Lu Chen's heart tremble even more was the rows of modified crossbow machines. They were square and square, with holes glowing with light. Each hole contained a crossbow arrow that was exactly the same as the crossbow machine. An improved crossbow machine was full of Nearly a hundred crossbow arrows.
If such a terrifying crossbow machine was used to protect a human city, just one shot would be enough to create a clearing of corpses, which was too terrifying.
Looking at the various city defense equipment, these equipment are top-notch even if they are placed in the human city. They can easily crush the human race in terms of lethality and forging craftsmanship.
