Chapter 698
at the same time.
The guard leader of Bolang City had already led Xiao Zhan and Lang Youcai out of the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains.
Outside, a dozen other guards in black armor immediately came forward.
The leader of the guards laughed and said:
"Tie them up for me. They are wanted criminals from the Celestial Clan. Take them back to collect the reward!"
More than a dozen guards immediately took out the chains and were about to lock Xiao Zhan and Lang Youcai.
Lang Youcai's furry arms were crossed in front of him, his eyes full of mockery.
The next moment, Xiao Zhan was seen flashing and grabbing the leader of the guards by the neck.
Lang Youcai also instantly became angry and rushed towards the other guards.
In the blink of an eye, they all fell to the ground.
Lang Youcai collected all the heaven crystals on them, there were nearly fifty in total.
"Boss, they can't return to Bolang City. What will happen if the people from the City Lord's Mansion of Bolang City find the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range? Will it implicate the Yinfei Demon King?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head and wrote the words "Lang Youcai" on the ground with his feet, and then said: "We are not going back to the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range, let's find another place."
after one day.
Several guards from Bolang City discovered these dozen corpses.
Then they also saw the words "Lang Youcai" on the ground.
They immediately returned to Bolang City with the body and reported the matter to the city lord Wang Ping.
At this time, Tian Yunshan walked into the city lord's mansion.
Wang Ping quickly stepped forward and saluted.
Tian Yunshan saw that Wang Ping's face was not very good and asked, "What happened?"
Wang Ping said truthfully: "I sent people to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains and notified the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains to send a doctor to Bolang City. The man who went there was killed on the way back. The murderer also left his name on the ground, written He is a talented man."
Tian Yunshan's eyes turned cold:
"Is it related to the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range?"
Wang Ping shook his head: "Probably not, but I still sent someone to ask."
Tian Yunshan frowned slightly and said coldly:
"Send someone to search immediately. I want to find Xiao Zhan as quickly as possible."
Wang Ping nodded and quickly went to arrange the manpower.
At this time, Xiao Zhan and Lang Youcai were already thousands of miles away.
There is dry and cracked land underfoot, and as far as the eye can see, there are dry grass everywhere.
In the sight of the two of them, a group of low stone houses sat quietly on the hillside in front of them.
At the entrance of the village, there was a big tree that Xiao Zhan couldn't name. It was a hundred meters tall, extremely strong, and probably more than ten meters in diameter.
However, this big tree has dried up, and only one or two green leaves are still hanging on the treetop, which looks very bleak.
At this time, hundreds of men, women and children wearing animal skins were surrounding the big tree, holding hands, jumping and dancing, and singing mysterious songs.
A sacred aura came to my face, as if some kind of ceremony was being held.
Xiao Zhan and Lang Youcai slowly approached and stood several hundred meters away from the village entrance. After the ceremony of these people was over, Xiao Zhan and Lang Youcai continued to approach.
A group of yellow-haired children playing under the big tree at the entrance of the village immediately spotted Xiao Zhan and Lang Youcai. Especially the moment they saw Lang Youcai, they were so frightened that they started crying and ran towards the low stone houses.
Not long after, I saw all the men, women, and children in the village rushing out with weapons in hand.
Their weapons were bone clubs, iron knives, wooden sticks and the like.
Xiao Zhan smiled and said:
"Don't get me wrong, we are just passing by and don't mean any harm."
While talking, Xiao Zhan was also looking at these people, and then he was stunned.
Their appearance is very similar to Xiao Zhan, their ears, eyes, noses, and mouths are exactly the same.
Could it be... these are all humans!
There are still humans in this world!
And these people show
Ran also regarded Xiao Zhan as a kinsman.
A white-haired old man waved the bone stick in his hand and roared:
"Why are you hanging out with people from the demon clan!"
"We, the Witch Clan, and the Monster Clan are at odds with each other. You really embarrass our Witch Clan!"
"Witch Clan?" Xiao Zhan immediately frowned.
Lang Youcai lowered his voice and said in Xiao Zhan's ear:
"The feud between the Demon Clan and the Witch Clan has been going on for a long time."
"It is said that in a very distant era, the witch clan specialized in hunting monsters and used the bones of monsters as materials to extract various powers to practice witchcraft."
Xiao Zhan frowned: "Then what?"
Lang Youcai said in a deep voice: "Then the Demon Clan launched a campaign against the Wu Clan, and I heard that the Wu Clan was almost wiped out."
Xiao Zhan took a deep breath.
It seems that although the Witch Clan and the Human Clan look the same, they are not the same race.
Xiao Zhan naturally would not reveal that he was a human being, but instead said:
"Old sir, this werewolf is my follower."
"Follower?" The old man holding the bone stick was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter the next moment:
"Well done, well done!"
"Let the demon clan be your follower and give our witch clan a face!"
As he said that, the old man looked at Xiao Zhan and said:
"The sacred tree in our village is about to wither, and we need the blood of the demon clan to sacrifice it."
"Can you sell this werewolf to us?"
Xiao Zhan glanced at the big tree and could tell at a glance that the big tree was damaged by diseases and insect pests. It was likely that the inside of the tree had been eaten to pieces by insects.
When Lang Youcai heard that these Wu Clan people were going to sacrifice themselves to this rotten tree, he immediately trembled with fear, hid behind Xiao Zhan, and roared:
"Don't mess around. I'm telling you, I'm very powerful. For the sake of my boss, I won't do anything to you, so don't take any chances with me!"
Xiao Zhan felt something. Among the people in this Wu Clan village, the strongest one was this old man. He was only at the third level of the Tribulation Realm, so he was very weak.
So Xiao Zhan opened his mouth and said:
"Let me check the situation of the sacred tree first."
While speaking, Xiao Zhan revealed his whole body's aura, which suddenly shocked these people's expressions.
But then he looked overjoyed.
Although Xiao Zhan is not from the village, in the eyes of these villagers, everyone is a witch clan. The stronger Xiao Zhan is, the happier they will be.
In this way, they believed Xiao Zhan's words even more.
Xiao Zhan walked to the big tree, put his hand on the big tree, closed his eyes and felt it to confirm that the big tree was indeed hollow.
But Xiao Zhan would not say it clearly. Instead, he jumped up and reached the top of the tree. He wanted to punch out, but after thinking about it, he squatted down and dug a hole with his fingers.
Then Xiao Zhan jumped up, landed on the ground and said to Lang Youcai:
"Go to the water source and fill it with water along the hole above until it's full."
Lang Youcai said "Oh" and looked around, but couldn't see the source of water at all.
Look at the faces of these villagers and their exposed hands and feet. They are all covered with a thick layer of mud. It is obvious that they do not wash frequently.
Looking at the dry and cracked ground, you can tell that it doesn't rain much in this area.
Xiao Zhan frowned and asked:
"Is there no water around here?"
The old man shook his head, "Our sacred tree is sick, so there has been severe drought for many years. It has not rained for several years."
Xiao Zhan asked again: "Where can I find water?"
The old man smiled and said:
"Our witch tribe is very powerful in praying for rain, can you do it?"
Seeing Xiao Zhan shaking his head, the old man raised the bone stick in his hand and started singing and dancing on the spot.
Just when Xiao Zhan looked at the sky and thought it might rain, he heard the old man say:
"The sacred tree is sick, and the rain-making technique doesn't work anymore."
Xiao Zhan: "..."
"So, it has to rain for the sacred tree to come back to life, and for the sacred tree to come back to life, it can rain?"
"Isn't this an endless cycle?" Xiao Zhan frowned: "Then why don't you leave here?"
The old man shook his head: "Wherever the sacred tree is, we will be there."
Xiao Zhan was immediately speechless.
But this is the belief of this Wu Clan village, so Xiao Zhan naturally has nothing to say.
After thinking about it, Xiao Zhan looked at Lang Youcai and asked him to try digging a well.
Lang Youcai naturally obeyed Xiao Zhan's words, found a place and started digging.
Xiao Zhan followed the old man into a stone house.
There is nothing extra in the stone house. There is a small pit on the ground in the middle, and a pile of wood is burning in it, making the whole stone house warm.
The old man threw the leg of an unknown beast directly into the fire, causing it to crackle with fire.
Xiao Zhan hesitated for a long time before lowering his voice and asking:
"Old village chief, is it okay if I stay in your village for a while?"
The old village chief nodded quickly and said happily: "There are not many people left in our Wu clan."
"Coupled with the decline of witchcraft, our witch clan is getting weaker and weaker each generation, and our lifespans are getting shorter and shorter."
"It's best if you stay. I can make you the village chief."
Xiao Zhan shook his head and continued to ask:
"Old village chief, I...I have lost my memory. I only found out today that I am from the Witch Clan. How are you sure that I am from the Witch Clan? Will you not admit your mistake?"
The old village chief smiled. Most of the teeth in his mouth had been lost, but he still looked kind.
He pulled the animal's leg out of the fire, scraped off the burnt parts with a stone, and continued to throw it in to roast, and then said:
"What else can you be if you're not a witch? You can't be a human.".z.br>
"In the whole world, we are the only ones like the witch clan and the human clan leader."
Xiao Zhan took a deep breath and asked with deep eyes:
"Old village chief, then why can't I be a human?"
"Silly boy, the human race has been extinct a long time ago," the old village chief sighed, "I don't know how many eras ago, the heavenly race wiped out the human race."
"Nowadays, when it comes to the human race, very few people know about it."
"What a pity..." The old village chief suddenly sighed: "If the human race had not perished and was still prosperous, our Wu Clan would not have fallen to this point today. I don't know how long our Wu Clan can persist. In hundreds or thousands of years, our witch clan will also become extinct."
Xiao Zhan's eyes narrowed, "Old village chief, is the relationship between the human race and the witch race good?"
"Of course!" The old village chief nodded heavily: "The human race and the witch race both look the same, but the blood of the human race is red, while the blood of our witch race..."
Xiao Zhan frowned: "What happened to the blood of the Wu clan?"
"The blood of the witch tribe is also red!" The old village chief said solemnly: "There is no difference in this."
"The real difference is that the heart of the human race is on the left, and the heart of our witch race... is on the right."
"Actually..." the old village chief suddenly said with emotion:
"Actually, the human race and the wizard race are one family."
"A long time ago, some people in the human race discovered a new power, which was witchcraft. Then over a long period of time, the human race was divided into two, becoming the human race and the witch race."
"This is the secret of our Witch Clan, no other race knows it."
"When the Heavenly Clan and the Human Race fought, we, the Wu Clan, originally wanted to join the war to help the Human Race, but the Human Race refused. They said... the Human Race must retain some blood."
Having said this, the old village chief's eyes suddenly turned red, then he stood up and walked to the corner, moved a big stone, took out a stone box, and took out a metal booklet from it.
This booklet is made of metal sheets with holes punched in them and tied together with leather ropes.
Xiao Zhan took it and took a look. What was recorded on it was indeed the secret history of the human race and the Wu race.
Moreover, what Xiao Zhan didn't expect was that the old village chief in front of him turned out to be a bloodline of the Wu clan's royal family!
However, over the long years, as the Wu clan declined day by day, the old village chief did not take his identity seriously and just wanted to lead the people in the village to live well.
