Chapter 1397 The Achymis Tribe
Whoosh!
A metal arrow broke out from the string and drew a trace of heat in the air. It flashed and when it paused again, it had already pierced into a Taisha's head.
boom!
The ferocious Taisha fell down with a bang, staining the ground with blood.
In half a month, this was already the third Taisha who fell under Xia Lei's bow and arrow. The animal skins and bones in his hand, as well as the teeth in Lan Ji'er's hand were already full of them.
In addition to the three-headed Taisha, there are almost fifty beasts that die in Xia Lei's hands. The power of the bone bow and its comprehensive performance are much stronger than the previous metal bow. Its not very heavy weight also reduces Xia Lei's weight and has become an indispensable weapon for Xia Lei in this ferocious forest.
The experience in the Anxu Forest during the half-month period also made Xia Lei understand an important reason why those explorers and mercenaries could not go back when they entered the Anxu Forest. This is a paradise for wild beasts, which is surprisingly large. For those explorers and mercenaries, it is easy to deal with ordinary beasts, and their guns can solve the problem. But when encountering beasts of Taisha, they can only pray that the Taisha would have a full stomach or have stomach problems. And for Taisha and Blue Dragon, their guns are almost no different from the child's slingshot.
Lan Jier took the fangs of Taisha more than one foot long to break down the corpse of the third Taisha, and said, "Perfly, you can leave this Taisha's teeth, and the skin belongs to you, and you can take as much as you want. When you arrive in the tribe, you can also say that you killed the third Taisha and gained the respect of the tribe. Look, how generous I am, how good I am to you."
Xia Lei said with a smile: "I didn't expect that even a woman you are so greedy can't take. Also, you said that because you said that you killed Santou Taisha after you went back, you were too outrageous, so you said that?"
"Oh, why are you so stingy?" Lan Jier frowned and looked very unhappy.
"Just kidding, tell me how far is this place from your tribe?" Xia Lei asked.
Lan Jier said: "It's not far away. We are already on the edge of our tribe and can arrive before dark."
After taking away the third Taisha's teeth and animal skin, as well as some bones, Xia Lei and Lan Jier set out on the road again. Most of the weight on Xia Lei's body was converted into Taisha's skin, bones and teeth. The overall weight actually exceeded that of him when he entered the Ashimis Forest. If he had entered the Ashimis Forest alone, he would definitely not have so many animal skins, teeth and bones, because these things were very popular goods in the Ashimis tribe. Taking these goods to the Ashimis tribe, he could exchange some materials and help that were useful to him.
Lan Jier led the way, and Xia Lei followed her. He was paying attention to whether there were any traces of the Blue Dragon along the way, but he did not find out. Lan Long Rihua had an agreement with him, but he had lost contact with it now and didn't know where it was.
Xia Lei once asked Lan Jier why there was no blue dragon. Lan Jier's answer was that this place was just the edge of the Annex Forest, and the Blue Dragon would not move in this area. Lan Jier also divided the area where the Annex Forest beasts were active into four parts. She compared the Annex Forest to a city. Taisha was active on the Fourth Ring Road, the Blue Dragon was active on the Third Ring Road, and the Blue Tan was active on the Second Ring Road, and the center of the city naturally belonged to Ashimis's patron saint Rock Spirit.
According to Lan Jier's statement, if Xia Lei wants to find Lan Long, he can only walk through the "four rings" and enter the "three rings". However, Xia Lei believes that this is just Lan Jier's statement. After all, beasts are just beasts. They have a concept of territory, but they will not have the concept of boundaries, and they will not form a country to guard their borders. He is more willing to compare this resting forest to a sea, shallow waters have fish in shallow waters, deep waters have fish in deep waters, and deep seas naturally have fish in deep seas, and they will not easily leave the seas they are used to.
His guess was actually confirmed, that is, as he and Lan Jier deepened, the deeper he went to the rest forest, the more obvious the energy field that confronted Lan Yue was. He also had a intuition, that is, there must be a huge secret in this forest!
It was getting darker, and before night fell, Xia Lei followed Lan Jier to the foot of a mountain.
This area is flat, but this mountain rises up in this flat forest, with an altitude of at least 8,000 meters, extremely majestic. When I saw it, Xia Lei remembered Mount Everest on the earth, but it looks much more majestic and visually impactful than Mount Everest, because it is the only mountain in this area.
The existence of mountains is caused by the movement of the earth's crust. What kind of crust movement is needed to create only one mountain?
Xia Lei's heart was full of imagination.
"It is called Mount Ahimis, we are here." Lan Jier said, looking up at the top of the mountain above Ahimis.
Xia Lei also looked up at it. The top of the mountain on Ahimis is covered with snow, but the hillside and foot of the mountain are dense primeval forests.
Lan Jier pointed to a place on the hillside and said, "My home is there, but you can't see it now."
Xia Lei had actually seen that there were tree houses everywhere in the forests on the hillside and at the foot of the mountain, and many buildings made of rocks. Although the tribe of Ashimis was not a city with tall buildings, it looked like a medieval mountain city, with castles and villages, and some places with streets and shops. Although it was not dark yet, the lights had already been lit up in some backlit places.
This place gives people a sense of tranquility that is uncontested.
Passing through a row of trees, a rock-paved road appeared in front of him. It winded forward, from the tribe leading to Mount Ahimis. As Xia Lei followed Lan Jier onto the rocky road, his eyes moved to a stone tablet next to the road. The stone tablet was broken, and only a few pieces remained standing on the base.
There are two words engraved on the broken stone tablet: The Monument.
The two characters on the Broken Stele are Chinese characters, very standard Chinese characters.
When Xia Lei saw it, he was stunned for a moment. He stopped, "How could he be on the monument..."
Lan Jier interrupted Xia Lei, "How come you human words are there, right?"
"Do you know its origin? Tell me." Xia Lei was eager to know the answer.
Lan Jier said, "I heard from the old man in the clan that this monument was erected by Saint Thunder a thousand years ago. He is the only human who entered the Rest Forest but still left alive. The former king of our tribe, Wetheras, followed the Rest Forest, and helped you humans fight against the Blue Moon people. The Holy Thunder died, and our former king Wetherasas did not come back. The people in the clan thought it was the fault of Saint Thunder, so they broke the stone monument that Saint Thunder was erecting."
There is such a story on this stone tablet.
"Where is the other part of the stone tablet?" Xia Lei asked.
"You won't want to know." Lan Jier's expression was a little strange.
Xia Lei smiled bitterly, "If you know, tell me. I'm curious about what Holy Lei carved on the stone tablet."
Lan Jier said, "Okay, I tell you. The stone tablet is engraved with the 'Peaceful Monument' and the 'Holy Thunder'. After the Holy Thunder was killed in battle, our master broke the stele and placed 'peaceful' in the men's toilet in Sky Square. He saw 'Peaceful' in the women's toilet. As for the 'Holy Thunder', it was under the first step leading to the Sky Temple in Sky Square, and people stepped on it every day."
"So that's how it is." Xia Lei's reaction was faint, but his heart was filled with sighs. The Holy Lei died in battle, and the stone tablet with his name was placed on the necessary path for the Ashimis to worship the sky. This should not be the ending that a legendary figure should have.
Lan Jier's story also cast a shadow on Xia Lei's trip to Ashimis tribe. The Ashimis people hated Holy Thunder. Will the two later humans also hate him? If that is the case, then he will inevitably have some trouble here.
The rumbling sound of hooves suddenly came from behind, with a stunning momentum.
Xia Lei turned around in a hurry and looked over. A large group of Ashemis, who were like Lan Jier, had blue and black stripes, rode wild beasts that he had never seen before, and were quickly heading here. The Ashemis were all males and very strong. They carried weapons such as bows and arrows, spears, and were wearing animal leather armor. The mounts under their crotch looked like reindeer, with coral-like horns that looked like reindeer, larger than horses, and had very strong four hooves. They not only carried the Ashemis, but also carried prey of all sizes.
It seems that this is a hunting team of the Ashimis.
Xia Lei saw this Ahimis hunting team, and the Ahimis hunters also saw him.
"Human!" A tall and strong young Ahimis hunter led by the head suddenly roared, suddenly raised the spear in his hand, and stabbed Xia Lei's chest with the impact of his mount.
As soon as they met, they were killed without discrimination. Xia Lei’s worries just now had become reality. So fast and so suddenly, this caught Xia Lei off guard.
"Ama Gang!" Lan Jier suddenly blocked Xia Lei's face, opened her arms to protect Xia Lei, "Stop! He is my friend!"
The young man Ahimis, known as Amagang, suddenly put away his spear and then grabbed the mount under his crotch. He looked at Xia Lei coldly, "Lan Jier, who is he? Why did you see him bringing him to our tribe?"
Amagang and Lan Jier spoke the language of the Ahimis people. Xia Lei didn't understand this language half a month ago, but he had been with Lan Jier for more than half a month. Every day, he would read relevant information from Lan Jier's brain, understand the Ahimis tribe, and learn the Ahimis tribe's language. After half a month, with his extraordinary learning ability, he had long been proficient in this language. Therefore, when Amagang and Lan Jier talked, he did not need to use the power of imprint to capture their brain waves, and then use his brain to interpret their thinking, and he could understand it directly.
Xia Lei heard anger and hatred from Ama's tone of speaking, but he did not see these in the eyes of other Ahimis. Most Ahimis hunters riding on the backs of "reindeer" were full of curiosity and alertness towards him, an outsider.
The Ashemis hated the Holy Thunder, which happened a thousand years ago. The Ashemis people were no longer alive. Now the Ashemis people don’t even know what the Holy Thunder looks like. Even if they hate him, how much can they hate? Now the humans have become food for the Blue Moon people, and are on the verge of extinction, and are real pitiful people. In this case, how much does the Ashemis hate humans?
So, Amagang's reaction was not normal.
These are Xia Lei's judgments on observation and thinking in this moment.
ps: Thank you for walking together to see the sea, elegant gangsters, idle 888, please get out of your friends' rewards, thank you!
