At the entrance of the hall, the black shadow speeding through the air stopped the moment it touched the palm of his hand.
In this scene, it was as if time and space had stopped.
As the star's light illuminated, a figure and shadow combined together and appeared at the entrance of the hall.
The main hall of the Lanfeng Tribe has quite a few doors, and the position where this figure is standing belongs to the main entrance of the main hall.
This is an……
elder……
He looks like a very old man. If he hadn't raised his left hand at this moment and caught the black shadow speeding in the sky, based on the first impression alone, people would have thought that this old man He probably won't live long and will be buried.
Half of his body was buried in the soil, and there was no feeling of any force on his body. He didn't even make any movement. He just grabbed the arrow that was speeding towards the outside of the hall with his bare hands!
The black arrow, which had been tortured by Sylde for a while, immediately became peaceful and stopped making any movement after entering the old man's palm.
The figure of the old man stood at the door. Due to the star's light, if you look out from inside the hall, you cannot see his face clearly. You can only see a rough outline.
But just an outline gives people a very vicissitude of feeling.
The old man looked down at the arrow in his hand, held it lightly with one hand, and walked into the hall.
The old man's appearance finally became clearer.
This is a face full of vicissitudes of life and wisdom, the forehead is full of wrinkles, and the deep and old eyes seem to be shining with a mysterious light.
The old man's eyebrows are a little light, mixed with some white edges, giving people a solemn and calm feeling.
He is not the kind of old man who is arrogant and immortal. From the outside, he looks like a very ordinary old man, but in his ordinaryness, he also gives people an incomprehensible mystery.
The old man now held the black arrow in his left hand, his right hand hidden in his sleeve, and walked into the hall step by step.
The steps were very light, and the stellar light shone through the door frame of the stone door of the hall and shone on the old man, making the old man seem to be in a silver-white halo, and the air became textured.
far away……
Ren and the elder who was kicked away by him have now stood up.
The kick just now was naturally a skillful one, otherwise, this old man wouldn't be able to withstand Ren's kick.
He's not an old man, he looks like the one who walked in from the door of the hall...
In the Lanfeng tribe, the position of elder is relatively complicated. There are warriors who were powerful when they were young and joined when they got older. For example, people like Ren, who can be famous throughout the clan, will definitely be able to do it when they get older. There is someone who is a tribal elder.
There are also some wise men in the tribe and the top leaders of some families. After they retire, they still have a special status in the tribe.
There are dozens of such elders in the Lanfeng tribe!
The elders are also hierarchical. They belong to a special group and do not participate in the daily management of the tribe. However, if the tribe encounters any emergency, the power of the elders is still very large. When necessary, the elders can even intervene. Lower the internal power of the royal family.
Those in the main hall today are some of the elders with higher status in the tribe.
However, the weight of these people together in the tribe is not as high as that of the person who walked in at the entrance of the hall.
The Elders Council of the Lanfeng Tribe has a rather special existence...
That was the old man who was walking in from the door of the hall at this moment.
The old man is a member of the Presbyterian Council, but usually he will not participate in the Presbyterian Council's decision-making, but...
He has veto power!
Just make your own decision when nothing happens, but if the old man doesn't agree with something, then you can directly veto it.
The great elder of the Lanfeng tribe!
How old is the Great Elder?
Few people in the tribe remember it, and even the great elder himself doesn’t remember much.
The lifespan of humans on Snow Planet is already relatively long, and the lifespan of the Great Elder is so long that it must be calculated in epochs.
It has been so long that most people in the tribe have forgotten the name of the great elder.
I also forgot why the Great Elder could become the Great Elder...
In the tribe, for ordinary tribesmen and warriors, Ren's popularity is much higher than that of the great elder, because he is someone they can come into contact with on a daily basis.
As for the Great Elder, as he continues to grow older, he has become indifferent to many things. On weekdays, the Great Elder is not seen in the tribe.
The Great Elder's pace was not fast, and he walked towards the people in the hall step by step.
Although the speed is not fast, every step taken by the great elder gives people a very calm feeling. The whole body is like walking on the clouds. The clouds are ethereal, but each step can be solid.
As the crimson lines on her neck and forehead gradually faded away, Hilde's expression returned to that decadent state, as if she had been addicted to some kind of addiction and had not been satisfied for a long time.
Seeing the great elder walking towards the door, Hilde curled his lips subconsciously, turned around and glanced behind him again. He saw the demonic hell bow that had not moved at all on the iron pier, then turned and walked towards the stone table in the main hall. past.
The great elder just walked slowly to the stone table, carrying the arrow.
"Bang..."
The two arrows were put together again. The great elder waved his hands to Sylde and Renn, and everyone sat around the stone table again.
Sylde, Renn, and the elders present looked at the Great Elder with more and more intense gazes, as if they were all waiting for the Great Elder to give an explanation.
Where did this arrow come from, and what is its connection with the hell demon bow enshrined by the tribe?
There are many question marks in everyone's heart.
…
On the west side of the Dinglong Mountains, the base of the pile of rocks!
In the summer, the scenery at the rock pile base next to the canyon is still very spectacular. With the official arrival of summer, the water within the canyon has risen to a depth of tens of meters. If there is a storm upstream, the water level will It will continue to rise.
Around the entire rock pile base, under the rays of stars, you can see many colorful boulders. Some of the minerals contained in them make them form different colors, which adds some artistic feeling.
The base, which used to be quite lively, became a little more depressing as Ye Qiong led the team into the basin cliff and never came out.
It has been nine days since Ye Qiong, Ye Tianling and the others entered the cliff cave.
The temporary camp on the other side of the basin has been directly expanded by the soldiers into a small base of about 1,000 square meters in these nine days.
On the high slopes, in addition to the simple tents, several large wooden sheds have been erected to store supplies and food.
If it hadn't rained heavily the day before yesterday, the wooden houses in the residential area should have been built by now.
It was just before the heavy rain that day that a follow-up rescue team of about 20 people carried some weapons, equipment, supplies and food down the cliff path.
Two days have passed and there is still no news.
The soldiers were anxious, and they really had no choice but to add some troops to the basin according to the plan arranged by Ye Qiong when he went down, and at the same time, they were ready to continue to arrange a team to go down.
There were originally one Gale Wind Golden Eagle Knight between the Rock Pile Base and the central tribe, but now there are two. Since the Gale Wind Golden Eagle does not fly at night, communication between the central tribe and the Rock Pile Base is limited every day. The number of times is two round trips in total.
On the central tribe's side, a cavalry team of about 200 people has been assembled. The team will rest at the mountain base in the north for a day, and then rush to the rock pile base as quickly as possible for support.
They carry a large amount of supplies from the central tribe and some newly developed equipment. If the rescue team cannot bring the people out, then this team will use the most barbaric way to create a passage from the top of the basin!
Nine days ago!
dusk……
On the side of the cliff edge of the basin, there is a hole with a very large diameter.
As the star's light fell, Ye Qiong led Ye Tianling and the rest of the warriors to the depths of the large cave.
It was morning when I came in, and now it's dusk, and a whole day has passed.
Because there is no light source in the cave, after walking forward for a few dozen meters, the cave entered a dark environment, and the visibility dropped directly to within ten meters.
After walking a few dozen meters further, the team had to start lighting the grease lamps.
In order to save light sources, the team lit two grease lamps, one at the front and one at the front.
At the beginning of last winter, the light source experiment was conducted in the central tribe. The caravan brought back a lot of special stones from outside, crushed them, and added them to the grease.
After various experiments, we finally got a good result. One of the stone powders, after being mixed into the grease lamp, can increase the brightness of the light source!
Later, after some upgrades and improvements, the wooden barrel grease lamps in the tribe must now have a sense of technology. The flame light after burning is very stable, and the light emitted has also changed from the original bright yellow to It turned bright white.
Two grease lamps, at the front and back of the team, provided Ye Qiong and the soldiers with a good light source.
With the current brightness of wooden barrel grease lamps, lighting two lamps is actually not much different from lighting four or five lamps. It is still difficult to see clearly if it is too far in front.
The light source the team needs now is one with a visibility of about thirty meters and enough time to react to things that suddenly come out of the hole.
As for what will come out of it, no one knows.
There is a high probability that it is the Lielin Weasel. After all, there are no other magical beasts living in this area.
However, the cave is an unknown environment, and anything that pops up is actually possible.
Thirty meters of visibility is actually not too short in this huge hole.
Ye Qiong and the soldiers are also confident that they can deal with things that will suddenly come out within this visibility.
From morning to noon, the entire team has been moving deeper into the cave at a steady speed...
The depth of the cave was also a bit beyond expectation. During the whole afternoon, I didn’t see anything to the end, not even a fork in the road!
What Ye Qiong can be sure of is that he feels that the overall direction of the cave extends downward.
The team only rested for about half an hour at noon and then continued on the road.
At dusk that day, the seemingly unfathomable cave finally changed. A fork in the road appeared in front of Ye Qiong and the soldiers!
There are three in total, leading to three directions respectively. They are not divided according to angles, and there is no pattern.
The cave seems to be formed naturally, but you can see the paw prints of monsters on it, those claws of the fierce linweasel.
With the emergence of three forks in the road, problems also arise.
Go back, or move forward?
Although the team's progress was not very fast in one day, at the end of the day, even if it took one hour to stop and go, and advance about two kilometers, then the distance traveled in one day would be at least ten kilometers!
In other words, this distance is almost close to the length of the water channel.
After Ye Qiong and the soldiers deliberated, the final decision was to choose a passage and continue the day's events.
If you still find nothing, just exit directly.
More than ten kilometers is already a very terrifying depth for humans.
But to the mountains and the entire planet, it really means nothing.
In Ye Qiong's mind, not only on the Snow Star, but also on the earth, there are many caves that start at a hundred kilometers.
The most famous Mammoth Cave is more than 500 kilometers long!
It's more than 500 kilometers, nearly 600 kilometers wide.
This distance is actually conservative because there are still many unexplored areas!
Now the distance between Ye Qiong and the soldiers is really nothing...
After deciding to continue exploring, the team was not in a hurry to go in.
Along the way, the warriors did not consume much physical strength, but the dark environment and quiet atmosphere in the cave kept the mental strength of Ye Qiong and the warriors at a high level of tension.
You have to take a break!
Also, along the way, the soldiers did not place wooden barrel grease lamps on the road, but carried all lighting equipment with them.
But at this fork in the road, it is necessary to place a constant light. It is difficult to identify the direction in the cave. The light source at this fork in the road can guide the team after entering the fork in the road.
Because it is possible that they entered from the leftmost fork, but when they came out, it was the rightmost one.
Having a light source behind you can also relieve some psychological stress!
The team rested for about an hour and then moved on, and the fork they chose this time was the one on the far right!
Following the figures, after entering the hole on the right, only the wooden barrel grease lamp that was fixed on the wall at a height of one meter and a half was left at the three-way intersection...
