Chapter One Seventy One
Shao Xuan felt the totem tumbling in his mind, and the sudden change made him wake up from his shallow sleep.
There were tightly covered wooden walls around, and there was no way to see the outside. There were a layer of hay in the room, and many people were lying down, snoring louder.
Shao Xuan was quietly sensing.
It's that direction.
But, what happened that made the totem change like this?
I wanted to go out and take a look, but soon, the change stopped again, and the totem flame in my mind returned to its usual appearance and no longer churned.
Shao Xuan temporarily gave up the idea of going out to see it immediately. Here, there were people around him who were not aware of, and they were still on the territory of the slave owner. If he went out at night, he would probably be treated as a malicious person and was attacked by patrolmen.
After sensing it again and confirming that the totem was not moving, Shao Xuan closed his eyes and continued to rest.
The next day, the people of the Pu tribe did not make any arrangements. Only the main figures in the long-distance team such as Fanning would go to discuss with the people of other long-distance teams, which had nothing to do with the rest of the team.
Shao Xuan originally planned to go to that place to check to see if he could find out the reason for the change of totem last night, but as soon as he left the house, he was pulled away by Yan. Yan found a new frog poison in other long-distance teams, a frog species that their tribe did not have. He wanted to go over and see it by himself, but remember what his grandfather said before leaving, and he still pulled a few more people, including Shao Xuan.
"Shao Xuan, what are you looking at?" one of them asked.
"Are there tourists over there?" Shao Xuan pointed in that direction.
The Pu tribe, who had been traveling for several years, looked over there and said, "It's almost the same, but I advise you not to go. The people there are crazy. If they were in the past, they might be entangled. There are many people who want to join other tribes, but they are too dangerous and few tribes are willing to accept them."
Despair makes people crazy, and they are suppressed for too long, so there are naturally intense emotions, which also makes many people who come here avoid them.
"Do you want to go there to see?" asked.
"I want to go over and take a look." Shao Xuan replied.
"You don't have to go there now." said a middle-aged man next to him. "The tourists there would go out very early. Some went to the surrounding mountains and forests to find food, and some went nearby to see if they could find other opportunities."
Shao Xuan looked over there and found that there were indeed not many people walking outside, so he left with Wei and others. He came back later and went to see it.
Not long after Shao Xuan and others left, Yan Shuo moved away the wooden board at the door of his house where the tourists gathered.
His face was exhausted, but he was in a good mood. Compared to his stagnant eyes, he now had a glory in his eyes.
Last night, he saw the totem pattern of the legendary totem warrior on himself for the first time, and it was from the Yanjiao Tribe.
Although the totem patterns were not clear and did not last long, Yan Shuo felt that life had brighter again. He was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night.
People who have been through darkness only need a tiny bit of light to ignite expectations.
In addition to the changes in the totem pattern last night, Yan Shuo also felt a slight change in his body, which looked the same as before, but Yan Shuo felt that the power it had seemed to have improved a little. He obviously felt much more relaxed when moving the wooden boards.
He originally planned to leave here with someone, but when he knew that things had changed last night, Yan Shuo temporarily put down his mind to leave. After getting up in the morning, he discussed with his wife for a while before coming out of the room. It was much later than usual.
There were already people around him looking for food, and Yan Shuo was planning to set off, but he didn't expect that, just as he was about to leave, he saw someone walking over the river bank.
Seeing the other party, Yan Shuo frowned and turned to his wife in the room and said, "Stay in the room, don't come out!"
The people who walked over were walking leisurely, holding a vine whip in their hands. On the banks of the river, where slaves transported goods, they often saw such people.
They are also slaves, but, compared with the lowest-level slaves, they are slightly better. They are responsible for supervising the lowest-level slaves. If someone is lazy, they will whip them mercilessly. Perhaps they have enjoyed such rights. They usually whip them if they don’t like anyone, and sometimes they will even kill people, but as long as the slave owner doesn’t pursue them, it will be fine.
The person who came here was called "Li". It was the tourists who came here from other places with Yan Shuo. Later, they could not stand it and joined other tribes and were repeatedly rejected, so they became slaves.
And Li was the first one who chose to be a slave among the people they came here together.
At the beginning, Li was just a minimum slave. He had to do a lot of work every day and had very little rest time. Sometimes he almost got tired and had to be whipped. But he encountered a good opportunity. Someone offended the leader of a relatively large troop. The slave owner directly killed some people as a plea for the troop team. Li was promoted at that time.
After becoming slaves, they can gain new power from the slave owners. When they advance to a higher level, they can gain more resources and strength from the slave owners, and their strength is naturally improved.
I came to look for Yan Shuo last night, and the broken arm bone was caused by the injury.
Perhaps it was for demonstration and showing his regaining strength, or perhaps it was because of some personal grudges that he had made a ruthless move on his former partners. If there hadn't been something on the river bank at that time and Li needed to deal with it immediately, the man would have died long ago.
Among the people who were in the past, they were gone, died, and injured. Except for Yan Shuo's family, the last person could not withstand the pressure last night and chose to be a slave. Now, Yan Shuo is the only one left.
Li held the long vine whip and walked straight towards Yan Shuo step by step, with a sinister smile on his face.
If he was a slave who was also a slave owner, he might not dare to kill people directly. Although sometimes the slave owner would not care about the life or death of a lowest-level slave, he was afraid that the slave owner would have other ideas. After finally being promoted, Li naturally did not want to make his slave owner angry. Although the slave owner laughed all day long, it was extremely cruel to start the fight. Thinking of the person who was slapping his hand and ruthlessly, a chill surged behind Li.
However, if you deal with tourists, the slave owner will not care about them. These tourists are ungrateful, and some people the slave owners like to reject them.
The slave owner actually first looked at Yan Shuo, the most powerful among them. Unfortunately, Yan Shuo was ungrateful and refused, while Li seized the opportunity and chose to follow the slave owner and leave Yan Shuo and the others.
Isn’t it just that you have a little more strength? Even tourists have lost their tribes and the fire has long been destroyed. What’s the difference between you?
As for Yan Shuo's way here, he always said to them "Yanjiao Tribe", Li didn't believe a word.
If the tribe is still there, why should I be so depressed?
If the tribe is still there, why didn’t Yan Shuo look for it?
If there was really a "Yanjiao Tribe", why no one knew about the long-distance teams coming and going here?
At that time, Yan Shuo seemed to be the most calm among them, but in fact, in the hearts of others, Yan Shuo was a lunatic and always fantasized about impossible things.
What Li hates the most is Yan Shuo's hopeful look when he mentioned the "Yanjiao Tribe". In the past, he could not beat Yan Shuo. After becoming a slave, he gained strength again. He just didn't have time to come to "communicate" these former partners. But now, he has a lot of spare time every day. He found one of them yesterday, and today, he deliberately came to Yan Shuo.
In order to avoid being called away temporarily yesterday, he also asked someone like him who was promoted by the slave owner to help look at the slaves on the river bank.
Li held a whip in the other hand and played with a shell the size of a palm in his other hand.
I heard that in the middle, there are places that like to exchange exquisite shells for things. Unfortunately, the shells in this place are far from that level, they are ugly and weak, just like the people here!
Click!
The shell in his hand was instantly crushed into pieces by Li.
"I heard that you are not doing well now?" Li looked at the alert Yan Shuo, then looked at the messy wooden shed behind Yan Shuo that seemed to be able to blow down with a gust of wind. He smiled sinisterly, and the next moment, he raised his hand and whipped it hard.
The vine whip hit the wooden shed. The originally unsolid wooden shed immediately fell down some wooden blocks, and a corner of the roof was knocked down.
"Ri!"
Seeing that Li was planning to continue to destroy his house, Yan Shuo could no longer bear it. After all, his wife and children were inside. If the house was destroyed, where would they sleep tonight? There were too many dangerous factors around and the two children were young, so accidents were prone to happen.
Li came with murderous intent, Yan Shuo knew what the purpose was, and he didn't expect to have a peaceful conversation.
Yan Shuo rushed towards Li with the stone knife with many gaps he used on weekdays.
Li looked at Yan Shuo, and doubt flashed in his eyes. Yan Shuo seemed to be different from his previous momentum? It shouldn't be like this. What happened to Yan Shuo?
However, Li was not worried. No matter what changes happened, Yan Shuo, a tourist, was not his opponent.
Yan Shuo, who burst out and rushed up instantly, waved his knife with his experience of hunting wild beasts, and an unsuppressible fighting spirit suddenly surged in his heart.
Unlike before, Yan Shuo, although his strength was greater than others, his body seemed to be blocked by a large gate, and he could not rush up much water wave. But now, although he also had the feeling of blockage from the past, Yan Shuo felt that the resistance was much smaller. When he swung the knife, he also felt that he was unspeakable and refreshing.
Is this power?
The sword shadow carried the power of destruction, and each knife seemed to be trying to harvest prey, slashing towards Li. On Yan Shuo's face, the totem patterns that were clearer than before appeared.
At almost the same time, Shao Xuan, who was pulled over to see the poisonous frog by others, moved his gaze away from the poisonous frog and looked at the place where the tourists lived.
"Yu, I'll leave in advance, please help me with some pigs." Shao Xuan handed to Xiao a water moon stone and left quickly.
