When Luo Ning woke up, he suddenly found that they were surrounded by a group of savages wearing animal skins.
Behind them is a cliff of ten thousand feet, and the thirty or so naked savages are holding torches high, and the round scimitars in their hands are shining in the light of the fire.
"Who are they?" The savage savages surrounded them and made no move to attack or retreat. The two sides faced each other like this for a long time. Luo Ning asked in a low voice a few people who came here earlier than him.
"I don't know. They don't look like native Tibetans. They look like African natives." Yu Xiangnan was the first to come here, and he replied softly.
Judging by their skin, clothing, and appearance, these people are really African indigenous people. But everyone knows that Africa and Asia are thousands of miles apart. How can there be Africans in these huge mountains and hidden canyons? .
"Has everyone successfully crossed the rope bridge? Where are the vampire bats?" Since the opponent has been in a stalemate and has no intention of actively attacking, Luo Ning focused on the team. I still remember that when we were on the other side of the river, the group of vampire bats pounced on us, and Kudo and the Siberian War Bear covered everyone's evacuation. In the end, Luo Ning refused to leave them behind and refused to cross the rope bridge. The Siberian war bear knocked Luo Ning unconscious and swung over.
Now that everyone is in peace, Luo Ning thought, Kudo and the Siberian War Bear should also be here.
"Where is Kudo?" No one answered Luo Ning's words, so Luo Ning asked again.
"Here." Kudo stood at the end, took a step forward and replied.
"Where is the Siberian War Bear?" Luo Ning asked again.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and no one answered.
"Where is General Zhan Xiong?" Luo Ning looked around, and his actions aroused the vigilance of the barbarians on the opposite side. The thirty or so burly men held the sharp scimitars in their hands in front of their chests, guarding them against any movements at any time.
Luo Ning looked at the dark opposite side. The biting cold wind blew from the opposite side, and the wind seemed to be mixed with too much blood smell. There were no traces of vampire bats in the sky, and the original danger suddenly disappeared. Luo Ning used the torch light of the other party's savage to check carefully, but he really didn't find the Siberian war bear.
Luo Ning almost fell.
Squad Leader Hu Stubble hurriedly supported him: "Zhan Xiong is a good person. He is not afraid of death. He calls your name even before he dies, letting you remember that he is your team member."
Thinking of the past rejection of Siberian war bears, everyone felt a little ashamed at this moment.
The war bear is indeed dead, and his death is tragic. Luo Ning stared at his eyes filled with tears, looking at the rope bridge floating in the air, without saying anything for a long time.
Everyone is also in endless grief. The surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet.
At this moment, a sudden noise was heard from the group of torch-lit savages on the opposite side.
??Everyone hurriedly looked to the opposite side on guard, only to see a torch suddenly appear in the distance. Under the torch, a middle-aged and elderly man wearing a tiger skin, a feather laurel crown on his head, and an animal tooth necklace around his neck walked quickly.
When all the savages saw him coming, they bowed their heads as if to salute. The man, with his head held high and his chest high, strode through the crowd, as proud as a god who had descended into the world.
Looking at this posture, everyone guessed: this man must be the leader of these savages.
The savage commander lit a torch and shined a light on Luo Ning and others opposite him, and then asked a few questions to the savages next to him.
Since the other party spoke the local ancient Tibetan language, Luo Ning could not understand what the commander said. I saw the savages next to me pointing at Luo Ning and others and replying a few words, and the commander's eyes suddenly became fierce.
He shouted angrily, then shook the tiger skin on his body, turned around and left. The other savages watched him leave respectfully, then suddenly turned around and pointed the scimitar blades in their hands at Luo Ning and others. His eyes were full of killing intent.
"What did they chatter about just now? Why did their attitude suddenly change?" It seemed like there was going to be another fight, and Yu Xiangnan didn't like fighting very much.
"I don't understand. I don't know what was said." Luo Ning didn't have an Aifeng language translator, so he didn't understand the Tibetan language they spoke.
"The man wearing tiger skin and feathers on his head said: Kill these outsiders. These outsiders must be here to steal the holy stone again." Everyone could not understand each other's language, but the old village chief was born and raised here. The accent is a bit strange, but I can probably understand the meaning of their conversation.
"What? That's okay." The opponent held the scimitar as if they were hunting prey. Xiao Jinzi suddenly took out his gun, ready to fight these savages at any time.
But Luo Ning grabbed Xiao Jinzi¡¯s gun: ¡°Don¡¯t hurt me.??Them. "
Luo Ning knew that these people were probably the villagers of Balanu Village they were looking for. If you conflict with them head-on, then I'm afraid your plan to pray to them for poison will fail.
Yu Xiangnan made a sound, indicating that he could not accept it. Yu Xiangnan has always been timid and does not have a gun. I am afraid that he is no match for these muscular savages. After putting down the gun, he lost his original confidence and hurriedly pulled Wang Dan and got behind squad leader Luo Ning and others.
The savages slowly walked towards them holding the scimitars in their hands. Behind us is a cliff with a huge cliff, and there is no way to retreat. When Luo Ning and others were preparing to compete with these guys with bare hands, they suddenly saw the old village chief behind them suddenly rushing out.
The old village chief stood in front of everyone and said a few words in local Tibetan very excitedly that no one could understand.
The savages who gathered around were suddenly surprised when they heard that the old man could speak his own words. Then a savage in the lead shouted something to him while holding a Tibetan knife for fun. The old village chief suddenly took off the bag with the wolf head hanging from his neck and showed the wolf head brought out from the water tomb to the savage. .
The man carefully moved forward a few steps, and then asked the men behind him for a torch. The light of the torch illuminated the dragon ball in the old village chief's hand, and the golden light emitted from the dragon ball instantly, and the surrounding area suddenly seemed to be enveloped in a peaceful Buddha light.
¡°Stand up, Bude¡± Seeing this peaceful golden light, all the savages in front of them suddenly put down their weapons and fell to their knees. They were like surrendering to the Buddha, not daring to look up.
The old village chief wrapped the wolf's head and immediately picked up the wild man. The old village chief said something to the savage solemnly, and the savage's face suddenly became serious. He looked at Luo Ning and others, his expression suddenly hesitant.
The old village chief insisted on protecting Luo Ning and others, but his own leader issued an order to kill them. This gave the captain who was responsible for comforting the village a headache.
But when he thought that the wolf head that the old village chief had just taken out was indeed the light of his ancestors, he finally let out a long sigh, put away his scimitar, and let out a weird roar at the compatriots behind him.
The other thirty or so savage men seemed a little confused when they heard his order. However, they did see the 'Golden Holy Light' they longed for and had to obey the captain's order and put away their swords.
"Hey, old village chief, what did you say? Why did their attitude change so suddenly?" Yu Xiangnan felt very strange about the change in the attitude of these barbarians. But it is best not to fight, because he loves peace.
"They are really the descendants of Jiuwenlong. I have the same belief and the same blood." The old village chief said excitedly, and then he heard the barbarian captain in front of him saying hello and followed him: "Everyone, let's go quickly. .He brought their king before us.¡±
"King?" Luo Ning was a little sensitive to this title. The old village chief is also a descendant of Jiuwenlong, but he is only called the head of a village. But the supreme commander of these barbarians can be called a king. This shows that the population and size of their people are no longer as small as just one village.
Luo Ning and others followed the group of savages and horses along the winding mountain road and walked deep into the mountain. After going around eighteen turns and crossing more than twenty dangerous peaks, hidden in the dense forest, a stone cave suddenly appeared that could only allow one person to enter or exit.
The sound of the wind coming from the cave is like the roar of wild beasts. The cave was unrealistic. If they hadn't taken them in, everyone would have thought that the cave was just a cave where wild beasts lived.
"Well, this cave entrance can only accommodate one person, and it is a good natural barrier." Squad Leader Hu Stubble felt that this cave had a feeling that one man was blocking the way and no one could open it.
Approaching the cave, walking forward no more than ten meters, the cave suddenly turned. After turning the corner, the originally narrow cave suddenly opened up. There was not only the sound of wind but also the sound of water ahead. The sound of water was mixed with the sound of hammering iron tools and the laughter of children playing.
After walking forward for about half an hour, they finally walked out of the cave.
"Wow." At this time, the bright moon has risen into the sky, and the bright moonlight shines down, casting a faint light on everything in front of you.
The entrance of the cave is located in a relatively high geographical location. Standing at the entrance of the cave, they can overlook the entire village of this small kingdom. In the moonlight, the residents' lights were clearly distributed in eight places.
The middle one is the brightest. Indicates the largest number of residents. Around the middle of the circle, the other seven lights surround it. Seen this way, these eight lights look like lotus flowers. It's just that only one 'petal' of this lotus flower is dull.
"Eight-petaled lotus. Protect the true Buddha." The old village chief knew that there were actually eight tribal groups in this kingdom.?'s. The largest village in the center is the kingdom, and the villages next to it, which look like lotus petals, are the seven fiefdoms of the kingdom.
The kingdom is small, with only eight villages. But they have a strict hierarchy.
"Eight-petaled lotus, eight subordinate ministers. Together they protect a king." The old village chief looked at the eight-petaled lotus made of lights, and suddenly felt melancholy in his heart: "But"
He looked at the unlit petal of the eight-petaled lotus, and he didn't even feel the tears shed: "The ancestor of the Wolf King is back. Your Majesty, please forgive him. Please light the extinguished eight-petaled lotus."
