After Guan Heng said this, he looked at each other and smiled at Rong Zheng. After this battle, he had already understood the strength of Geng Shu, and the attack power of the newly acquired Qinyuan Tiger Bee Demon was not weak, although the tail

The stinging needle's surprise can only be used once a day, but it is undoubtedly a backup weapon.

Moreover, Geng Shu cut off his arm immediately after being attacked, showing that he was a ruthless man. This man should not be underestimated. Guan Heng had secretly paid attention to it, and planned to get rid of him with ruthless hands when he met him again to avoid causing another disaster.

After a while, the birds and eagles that Guan Heng found using the bird-attracting medicine ate up all the poisonous insects and snakes on the ground. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, and then they started on their way through the mountains and forests.

Along the way, Rong Zheng told Guan Heng that in addition to the four major foreign tribes, namely the Tianyu tribe, the Mo Nu tribe, the Zhujian tribe and the Linghu tribe, there were also many people with different customs living in the vast mountains in this area.

Small tribes, there is a small tribe called "Mud-faced Mizu" where they will pass by tonight.

The so-called mud-faced fans are actually no different from ordinary people living in mountainous areas, but they have a very unique custom. When the whole family goes into the mountains to hunt, they will evenly smear wet mud on their faces. It is said that this

It can prevent mosquito bites and avoid being spotted by vicious monsters. In addition, it can also ward off evil spirits.

When Guan Hengwen, who was on the road with Rong Zheng, heard this, he couldn't help but asked strangely: "Avoid evil? What does that mean?"

"As for warding off evil spirits, it actually has something to do with the legend in this mountain." Rong Zheng looked at the path in front of him and found that he had turned into a narrow and winding mountain road. He casually said to Guan Heng: "I

I have some friendship with the elder of the Clay-faced Mizu Clan, and I learned some local anecdotes from him."

Having said this, Rong Zheng paused for a moment and continued: "More than a hundred years ago, there were still several small tribes living in the mountains surrounding the Mud-faced Mizu tribe. But one year, a terrifying monster suddenly appeared in the mountains.

Monster, that monster is different from ordinary monsters. It has amazing power and can change. It eats people and kills everywhere, causing people on several surrounding mountains to flee and die. Gradually, it became sparsely populated."

Guan Heng blinked and said: "But those people from the Clay-faced Mysterious Clan can still live here, so there must be a secret, right?"

"Hehehe, Brother Guan is right."

At this moment, Rong Zheng smiled and said: "Those people from the mud-faced tribe were also frightened by the terror of the monsters in the mountains at first, but then someone came up with an idea. When they went into the mountains, they smeared their faces with mud and covered their bodies with mud.

It blends in with the surrounding trees, flowers and plants and disrupts the monster's sight. This way, you can have a chance to save your life when the monster passes by."

"Oh, so that's what happened, I understand." Guan Heng said casually, but he thought to himself: "What does that monster in the mountain look like and what are its abilities? I really want to see it, but now

If you're in a hurry, it's better not to cause trouble."

Just when Guan Heng thought of this, Rong Zheng suddenly said: "Look, the mud-faced tribe's village is ahead. It's almost dusk now. It's easy to lose your way if you rush at night. Let's stay overnight at the local elder's house tonight.

.”

Hearing this, Guan Heng slightly chinned: "Okay, it all depends on Brother Rong's arrangement." Guan Heng and the other three took the Ghost-Swallowing Tiger and the two Demonic Apes into the nearby mud-faced Mysterious Village.

Sure enough, someone knew Rong Zheng and immediately welcomed the elders of the Lost Clan.

Seeing the visit of his old friend Rong Zheng, the elder of the Mi clan was particularly enthusiastic. He introduced several people into his home, asked his family to prepare meals, and arranged the residence of the ghost-eating tiger and the two giant apes.

However, Guan Heng found that the expressions of the people around him were a little unnatural. They all seemed to have sad faces and were distracted when talking or doing things.

So Guan Heng quietly said to Rong Zheng: "Could it be that something happened in this village? Why do everyone look a little worried? It's obvious that they are encountering difficulties. Brother Rong, you can ask the elders. If

If we need help, you and I can..."

"Well, what Brother Guan said makes sense. The elder has always been very cautious and taciturn. If you ask him in front of everyone, the elder may not want to speak." Rong Zheng said to Guan Heng, "Well, you are here.

Sit down for a while, and I'll go to the elder's room to find out more details."

After listening to Rong Zheng's words, Guan Heng chin slightly and said: "Okay, you go ahead, I'll just wait here."

Rong Zheng looked in the direction of the elder's bedroom at this time, and there was still a light on there, so he walked over and knocked on the door gently, and was welcomed in by the elder.

Guan Heng waited for about a moment, and Rong Zheng finally walked out of the room with a sullen face. He walked up to Guan Heng and whispered: "Brother, come in with me."

At this time, Guan Heng glanced at Agou, who was sleeping leaning on the ghost-swallowing tiger, and the dark crystal coffin beside him, and then nodded: "Okay, let's go."

The two entered the room of the elder of the Mi clan again, and Guan Heng found that the elder's eyes were red and swollen from crying. He felt a little strange, but it was inconvenient for him to ask, so he glanced at Rong Zheng.

At this time, Rong Zheng closed the door and said to Guan Heng: "At first, the elder was unwilling to tell the truth because he was afraid of hurting us. But after I pressed him again and again, he told me what happened here recently.

"

"Oh, then I also want to listen." Guan Heng glanced at the elder at this time, and the latter finally sighed, and then said: "Little brother, I know that you and Patriarch Rong Zheng care about us here and want to

Please help, so I bothered to inquire about the situation, but this matter is really weird to say, and I am really afraid that you will be implicated..."

"Hey, elder, since we are all here, it seems a little late to say whether we are involved or not." Guan Heng smiled slightly at this time and said: "Don't worry, I plan to hear what is going on first.

Anyway, if I can't help you with this, I'll forgive you and walk away, and you won't care, right?"

"Hey, it's rare for a little brother to ask, so I'll just tell you." The elder of the Mi tribe actually held back a lot of words and wanted to find someone to talk to. Seeing Rong Zheng and Guan Heng asking so enthusiastically, he couldn't help it anymore.

I wanted to hide it, so I just said it all.

That was the scene a few months ago. As in previous years, the Mud-faced Mi tribe held the largest hunting event of the year in the mountains during the hottest summer season. The hunting lasted seven days in the mountains, which meant that the whole tribe, young and old,

Ding would smear wet mud on his face and body, wear animal skins and grass skirts around his waist, take spears, bows and arrows in hand, and go hunting in the mountains.

Although man-eating monsters appeared in this mountain more than a hundred years ago, to this day, they have only heard of legends and never seen real objects. Therefore, the people of the Clay-faced Mi tribe are just following the old customs of smearing mud on their faces for hunting.

, no one took the monster thing seriously.
