- That voice was full of an arrogant and domineering tone. When Zhang Tie heard it, he was reminded of the second-generation ancestors of Black Flame City.
As soon as the voice fell, the group of cavalry had already rushed in front of the convoy, but they didn't go too far. Instead, they stopped when they were still more than ten meters away from the convoy. Zhang Tie looked at the expressions on the faces of the other people in the convoy. Looking at their expressions, they found that there was no fear or hatred in the expressions on everyone's faces, but just a bit complicated. From this point of view, Zhang Tie knew that the relationship between the Gray Eagle Tribe and these people was not very tense.
The old man who was with Aurora also slightly touched his chest and luggage to a guy in the cavalry team.
The mounts of most of the cavalry are creatures similar to the iron-horned beasts of the Norman Empire. They are very similar to rhinos. Only the mount of the middle one in the cavalry is particularly fierce and tall. It is a horse with almost two An animal over three feet tall, a pair of sword-like fangs over three feet long spit out from the mouth of the ferocious creature. The silver-gray fur has a strange metallic texture, and a pair of golden eyes are very interesting. There was a sense of oppression. Where this creature was, the iron-horned beast-like mounts next to it couldn't help but keep a little distance from it.
Sitting on this ferocious mount is a tall man in his mid-twenties. The man seemed to be looking forward to Zixiong at the moment, and it seemed that he was not weak in strength.
What interests Zhang Tie very much is that most of these cavalrymen have spear pouches hanging on their mounts, and there are rows of flying spears in the spear pouches. When Zhang Tie was in Kurgan Village, he He knew that many warriors in the ice and snow wasteland were using throwing weapons such as flying spears, but it was the first time that Zhang Tie saw so many people carrying so many flying spears at the same time. Zhang Tie still felt a little strange.
Because his current status is completely that of an unlucky prisoner, Zhang Tie did not speak, but stood behind the crowd to see what these guys were going to do.
"Nurdo, why did you come to our Gray Eagle tribe?" Aurora asked coldly as she looked at the cavalry rushing over.
¡°I came to the Gray Eagle Tribe to discuss something with you!¡± Nurdo said nonchalantly.
"Is there anything we can discuss between us?"
"Ha ha¡¡"
"I heard that the pioneers discovered the ruins of a city before the cataclysm in the cracks of the Hydra Glacier, and there may be fragments of the Star of God. Now pioneers and experts from all directions are rushing to the cracks of the Hydra Glacier, ready to launch an expedition. A windfall, my dear cousin, don¡¯t you have any ideas in front of this wealth?¡±
"I know very well how strong the Gray Eagle Tribe is. We only do what we can. If you want to find cannon fodder, you are looking for the wrong person!" Aurora snorted coldly.
"Don't be so absolute, Aurora" The man riding on the ferocious mount straightened up slightly, leaned forward, and looked at Aurora condescendingly, "Our strength wants to fight for the fragments of the Star of God. Of course, it¡¯s not enough. We can¡¯t interfere with this kind of thing involving masters at the sword master level, but you know, the contents of the ruins discovered this time may exceed your imagination. Since this ruins were discovered in the ice and snow wasteland, If found, then there is no reason to let those outside pioneers take all the advantages. Except for your Gray Eagle tribe, all the tribes in the south have already started to move, and are preparing to organize people to go down there to have a look. For the sake of my relatives, I came here to remind you so that you don¡¯t miss the opportunity!¡±
Hearing these words, Aurora pondered slightly
Zhang Tie listened to the side and was secretly surprised. He did not expect that the discovery of ruins in the cracks of the Hydra Glacier would become a bigger issue. Even the various tribes here could not help but want to take action. You know, things like relics are all old antiques buried underground, especially the relics before the cataclysm, which are less than a thousand years ago. In many cases, the so-called relics before the cataclysm contain only some broken copper. There are basically not many valuable things except rotten iron.
"Aura, if you want to participate, then take your tribe's violent bear warriors to gather at the mouth of the Fichar River in two days. The Gray Eagle tribe is also an eagle-level tribe in the southern part of the wasteland. You must not let Gray Eagle The tribe has deteriorated under your control. It would be bad if it turned into a gray rat tribe, hahahaha" Amidst the arrogant laughter, Nurdo and his group of cavalry were like the wind again. left.
After standing quietly for a few seconds, Aurora waved her hand, "Go back to the tribe"
¡¡
From here to the Gray Eagle Tribe, the distance is less than two kilometers. In a short time, a mighty convoy arrived outside the tribe.
This tribe is much larger than Kurgan Village, but the buildings in the tribe are no different from those in Kurgan Village. They are all low wooden houses, with few tall buildings and stone buildings. If If we estimate the population based on the number and density of buildings, Zhang Tie estimates that the population of this tribe is about 30,000 to 50,000.
Seeing the convoy coming back, many children in the tribe ran out of the tribe and chased the convoy excitedly.
"There is salt, I see salt!"
¡°And there¡¯s sugar, those boxes are filled with sugar!¡±
The children screamed with excitement, especially after several people in the motorcade threw two handfuls of candies at them. The children screamed even more cheerfully.
Aurora was like a star at this time. She walked in front of the motorcade, accepting the cheers of others, and waving her arms to the surrounding crowd from time to time.
Zhang Tie walked with the convoy, observing the environment here as he walked. Many people in this tribe raised livestock in their yards. Most of those livestock were elk, cattle, sheep and other things.
There are some simple processing workshops in the tribe, the most conspicuous one is of course the sea buckthorn wine processing workshop. Zhang Tie can smell the smell of sea buckthorn wine from a long way away. The iron processing workshop is full of smoke, and there are jingling sounds coming from inside. There was a sound of knocking, and a small number of semi-finished swords, flying spears, and some daily necessities were hung on the wall outside the blacksmith workshop.
In a yard on the roadside, Zhang Tie saw many women in the tribe tanning leather. Bundles of tanned leather were piled up in piles as high as a man in the yard. Just at a glance, Zhang Tie almost jumped up. The leather looked like a wolf, a giant wolf that was slightly larger than an ordinary wolf, and a giant wasteland wolf with gray-white fur.
Zhang Tie almost laughed out loud if there wasn't such a large group of people around him. What does the leather of these giant wasteland wolves mean? This means that you can hunt giant wasteland wolves not far from this tribe. With these giant wolves, is your giant wolf Seven Power Fruit still far away?
"I heard that there is a beast wave happening here. Why, there are so many giant wasteland wolves here?" Zhang Tie asked Seton next to him in a casual tone.
"Well, it's a lot, but we have long been accustomed to it. The tribe is very safe. The priests in the tribe have imposed bloody territory on the land around the tribe. The giant wolves will not break into the tribe's territory. The Gray Eagle tribe survives here. For hundreds of years, we have long known how to deal with these beasts. Every few years, a tide of giant wolves here will break out, bringing us some extra money. The warriors in the tribe take the boys to hunt during the day. The giant wolf in the wasteland can make some money and train people!" Seton didn't even think about the meaning of Zhang Tie's question, so he didn't have any intentions and directly told Zhang Tie everything he wanted to know.
"By the way, I just listened to the conversation between that man and Aurora. Aurora seems to have a high status in the Gray Eagle tribe?"
"Aura's mother is the priest of the tribe, and Aura's father is the tribe's leader. Aura will inherit the position of tribe leader. This tribe belongs to Aura. Do you think she has any status here?" Seton said muffledly.
"Ah!" This answer really surprised Zhang Tie. He didn't expect that the woman wearing the mask had such an identity. "Then why would she want to be a bounty hunter? This profession is very dangerous. Would her parents just watch her take such a risk? "
"Aura Laura's mother and father are gone" Seton's voice suddenly dropped, and he glanced at Zhang Tie, his eyes full of vicissitudes and helplessness, "Many times in this life, people must do something about themselves. Things I don¡¯t like to do, especially people in some special positions. In the past, when Aurora¡¯s parents were still alive, Aurora was just an innocent and beautiful little girl who had never even killed a bug. She When she was little, I gave her a rabbit, and then the rabbit died and Aurora cried for two whole days"
In this era, Zhang Tie roughly knew what problems a woman, an heir to a tribe who had lost her biggest support, would face just by thinking about it in his mind. It was like a child who suddenly inherited a large fortune. There are some people with ulterior motives who want to snatch away what the child deserves or forcibly occupy it - a relative with ulterior motives. I seem to have met one just now. I don't know what else is there besides this.
Suddenly, Zhang Tie felt a little sympathetic to Aurora.
"What about you? What kind of role do you play here?"
"I am the captain of the guard of the leader of the Gray Eagle Tribe!" Seton finally revealed his identity. Zhang Tie finally realized why Seton was so nervous when he restrained Aurora.
"You really want Aurora to be the leader of the tribe now?"
"This is the meaning of my life. If it weren't for this, I should have died twenty years ago!" Seton said solemnly.
Zhang Tie rolled his eyes, "Then, maybe we should have a good talk!"
"Don't you think of any tricks?" Seton looked around and warned Zhang Tie in a low voice.
"Actually, both you and Aurora know that I am not the kind of heinous person!" Zhang Tie also lowered his voice, "If it weren't for the misunderstanding, my ability would not pose any threat to you. From the beginning to the end, I have always treated you There is no malice, on the contrary, I am very willing to help my friend, of course, not in my current capacity and in this state" Zhang Tie said or raised his hand and put it on his wrist. Seton looked at the restraining collar.
¡°I will tell Aurora!¡± After Seton said this in a low voice, he ignored Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie nodded. He has not yet reached despair. He wants to try any opportunity that can change his current situation. Those words he just said are not all false. In short, if cooperation is beneficial to both parties, If everything goes well, there really is no unsolvable misunderstanding between him and that woman.
After walking a few hundred meters in the tribe, Zhang Tie saw a relatively tall and imposing building located in the central square of the tribe. The building was built on a dirt bag in the center of the tribe. It was at the highest location and was made of stone. , it seems to have a little more momentum. Of course, all this is relative. If the same building appeared in a place like Yiyang City or Stargazing City in Huaiyuan County, it would look like a rustic.
When the motorcade was about to approach that place, three people, three old men, walked out of the building at the same time. The one on the left among the three old men held a strange cane in his hand. His hair and beard were all white. Although there was a distance, Zhang Tie felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity at the first sight of that person. Needless to say, Zhang Tie also knew who that person was - Elder Moko, the priest of the Gray Eagle Tribe.
Elder Moko glanced at Zhang Tie, and the bone-blasting needles in Zhang Tie's body moved. The pain in his body disappeared as soon as it was touched, which made Zhang Tie's heart tremble.
There are two people beside Elder Moko. Zhang Tie doesn¡¯t know who they are, but those who can stand with the tribal elders must also be at the elder level.
The convoy stopped under the dirt bag.
Aurora walked straight up to the three people. After reaching the top, she said a few words to the three people, and the three of them walked into the building. I don't know if it was an illusion, but when the person in the middle turned around, , Zhang Tie felt that person's eyes lingering on his face for a moment.
Seeing someone coming to check and move things on the truck, Setonjiu left with Zhang Tie. After walking for a while, the two people came to a small wooden house.
¡¡
"You stay here temporarily and don't run around. You can't bear the power of the bone-exploding needle. Don't make fun of your own life! Someone will bring you the food for dinner later!" After saying this After saying that and asking someone to stand guard outside the cabin, Seton left.
Zhang Tie looked at the simple hut and the young man standing guard outside the door seriously. He didn't say anything, but sat down cross-legged on the wooden bed inside the hut. A burst of mental power penetrated the black iron in an instant. in the castle.
"Heller, can you hear me?"
"My lord, Heller is at your call at any time!"
"You know what I want to ask?"
"As long as the Lord of the Castle enters the Black Iron Castle, I can remove the restraining collar that is currently binding the Lord of the Castle in a snap of the fingers, but there will be some problems with the bone-blasting needle in the Lord of the Castle"
The information delivered by Heller made Zhang Tie feel relaxed and tense at the same time.
"What's wrong with the bone-blasting needle?"
¡°It¡¯s up to the Lord of the Fortress himself to eliminate this kind of thing, I can¡¯t do it for you!¡±
"On my own? How can I get rid of this kind of thing by myself?"
"Didn't the Lord of the Castle try it just now?"
Zhang Tie thought for a while, and suddenly his heart moved, "Are you saying that if you let me circulate my fighting energy, you can remove the Bone Exploding Needle from my body?"
"Yes, the so-called bone-blasting needle is the secret method of the priests of the ice and snow wasteland. What this secret method implants in your body is not a real needle-shaped metal object, but a special method that the priests use their mental power and their own cultivation. An energy body condensed with war energy, the essence of the Bone Exploding Needle is actually an active energy that can be controlled by people. This energy will bring? Huge pain and damage, but not without loss! "
"You are saying that every time I run my fighting spirit and am attacked by the Bone Exploding Needle, the energy of the Bone Exploding Needle itself will also weaken!"
"Yes, the energy of the Bone Exploding Needle is weakening when it hurts you!"
"Then if the Bone Exploding Needle is so easy to break, how can the priests in the ice and snow wasteland use it to control people? Can't everyone break this secret method as long as they can endure the pain?" Zhang Tie suddenly thought of the key. Since this kind of thing can be solved with such a simple method, it seems to have lost its meaning.
"This is true in theory, but in reality it is not that easy. Every time the Bone Exploding Needle attacks a person and causes a person to feel great pain, although its energy is attenuating, this attenuation will not It is reflected in the feeling it causes to people. Lord, can you understand what I mean? If a person feels the same huge pain every time when defusing the bone-blasting needle, the pain will never decrease every time. No matter how many times that person can endure such pain, once, ten times, or a hundred times, human instinct will make him choose to stay away from pain and escape this hopeless struggle! "
"What you mean is that the principle of the bone blasting needle's energy is a bit like an upright conical container filled with water. I connected a faucet at the bottom of the container. Every time I open the faucet, the water flows out. It seems to me that the flow rate has not changed, but the water in the container is gradually decreasing. Until the end, I don¡¯t know if the water has drained out?¡±
"Correct, that's it. Before the water in the conical container is completely drained, as long as you twist the faucet to a specific position, the amount of runoff or pain you get will not change, and I believe that those People who are controlled by the Bone Exploding Needle probably don¡¯t know that every time they use their fighting energy, such self-inflicted resistance, they are actually consuming the energy of the Bone Exploding Needle. The existence principle of this secret method will make people There is no hope of getting rid of it! It is possible that even the priests who use this secret method may not know that the energy of the Bone Exploding Needle may be consumed in this way."
¡°Will it cause harm to my body if I do this?¡±
"This is the second point I want to make. The damage tolerance the Iron Tire Fruit brings to you can allow your body to withstand the huge damage caused by the bone blasting needle. Your primary recovery body can After your body is injured, it will quickly help you recover. With these two as the foundation, it will be possible to use war energy to dissolve the bone-exploding needle!"
"What would happen if it were an ordinary person?"
"Based on the ability of ordinary people's bodies to withstand and recover from injuries, after suffering a situation like yours, 99% of people have not completely dissipated the energy of the bone-blasting needle, and the bone-blasting needle has been used again and again. The cumulative effect of the damage caused to the body is enough to destroy his body, exhaust his vitality, and kill him easily. Therefore, in this sense, Aurora is right, except for the spell caster Except for myself, almost no one can solve the Bone Exploding Needle!"
Zhang Tie let out a long breath, feeling like he had regained his freedom again, "If I want to dissolve these bone-blasting needles in my body, how long will it take?"
"The maximum endurance of your body is five times a day for twenty minutes each time. If you continue to persist, the bone-blasting needle in your body will be completely resolved in just five days. I need to remind you. Yes, the moment you completely dissolve the Bone Exploding Needle, the caster will feel it!"
"If I escape now, will the bone-exploding needle in my body really explode and kill me all at once?"
"Will do!"
"No matter how far it is!"
"Yes, no matter how far away it is, this thing is like remote sensing crystals and electromagnetic waves. As long as they are in the same space, their sensing range has no limit on distance. Just like many twins, although they are thousands of miles apart, they are in the same body. If you feel uncomfortable, the other person will feel the same way, that¡¯s the truth!¡±
"Then if that old man wants my life now, wouldn't it mean that I have no ability to resist at all?" Zhang Tie asked. If this is really the case, then it is almost as good as sitting idle and waiting to be killed.
"It's not that bad. There is a process for activating the energy of the bone-blasting needle. In fact, it is not as violent as a real explosion. The process of violent release of its energy will be completed in about 40 seconds to 60 seconds. It really has to reach that point. When you enter the Black Iron Castle at all costs, different space barriers can cut off that person's induction and control of the Bone Exploding Needle!"
Zhang Tie finally breathed a sigh of relief. When that time comes, the only thing he can do is to return to the Black Iron Castle first, and then return to the Black Iron Castle.?The bone-blasting needle is "digested" inside and then comes out. I hope it doesn't really go that far. If that happens, after I come out, I'm afraid it will be safe only to change my appearance and leave the ice and snow wasteland immediately. I didn't expect that the process of harvesting the Qili Fruit this time would cause so much trouble.
Seemingly knowing Zhang Tie¡¯s mood at the moment, Heller finally gave Zhang Tie a surprise after communicating with Zhang Tie for a long time.
"Don't worry, Lord Castle. In fact, this bone-exploding needle is not completely without benefits?"
"Benefits? What benefits?"
"Because the process of consuming the energy of the Bone Exploding Needle is the process of your body being attacked by the Bone Exploding Needle. This process will quickly promote the growth of the Iron Fetal Fruit. I have just calculated that if the Lord of the Castle completely removes those in the body, If the Bone Exploding Needle melts away, the Lord of the Castle will be able to get at least three Iron Fetus Fruits this time!"
Zhang Tie was stunned for being able to get three Iron Fruits, and then finally burst out laughing
"Is there another piece of good news?"
"What's the good news?"
"The first seed of the sea buckthorn tree that has completed mutation and evolution has come out!" (To be continued.
