Chapter 8 Outer Shamans(3/3)
"Special period?"
"You should have seen it when you came."
"You mean those bugs?"
"Yes. In the past three years, plagues have been rampant on the ice field and mosquitoes have raging. Many people have died in our tribe. They have been attacked by some unknown people, which can be said to be a step further."
"So, as a shaman, you left the temple and joined the army? So in order to deal with a few wolf, the barbarian soldiers came out in full swing?"
"Yes, my tribe is now like a frightened bird."
"Maybe I can help you, and the condition is to let me meet the Great Shaman."
"I can't make the decision."
"Take me to your place to live first and tell me what happened on the ice field."
"I can do this."
"May I have your name?"
"Julie, where are you!"
"Ye Fei."
Julie in armor is no shorter than other soldiers, which proves that she is tall among women.
Julie was helped by the leading general on the horse, put on her helmet again, and said to Ye Fei: "Come on."
Ye Fei waved to the people behind him and told them: "It's okay, it's safe."
In this world where the strong prey on the weak, when Julie and Ye Fei fought, they realized that the other party's strength was far superior to him. If they had ulterior motives, the current barbarian army would not be enough. So they chose to believe Ye Fei's words and take him into the barbarian territory.
Their village is only five or six miles away. All the houses in the village are built with heavy stones, and the tough and sharp fence walls enclose the shape of the village.
After entering the village, Julie took off her armor. This armor was really too heavy for a girl and stuffy.
The armor fell to the ground and made a "clang" sound. After taking off the armor, Ye Fei realized that Julie had a pretty good figure. She was tall, with shaped shoulders and hips, with long hair all the way to her waist, and a standard height of nine-headed bodies. She was a complete beauty.
Pushing the door open and walking into a stone house, Julie said to the man sitting in the stone house: "Father, this person is a Sanxian from Kyushu. He wants to meet the great shaman."
"Sanxian? Want to see a great shaman?" The people in the room were confused and their eyes fell on Ye Fei, and they found that this was a man with a tough and angular face. There was a plate of beef on the table in front of him, holding a short knife in his hand. When the two of them came in, they were cutting meat into their mouths with short knifes.
"Ye Fei, this is my father and the patriarch of the Arya tribe. You should explain it to him if you have any requests." Julie introduced the identity of the man in front of Ye Fei, and then said to her father: "Father, this is Ye Fei, with strong strength, your daughter lost to him."
Although the shaman is a girl from Yishui, he is the highest combat power within the barbarians. Men who can defeat the shaman will be valued within the tribe.
As Julie finished introducing the introduction, the patriarch of the Alya tribe looked at Ye Fei with a noticeable respect. He put away the knife and signaled Ye Fei to sit on the mat opposite the table, and said in a rough voice: "Young man, why do you want to meet the great shaman? Tell me the reason."
"I need a piece of land, a fertile land that is not subject to expropriation." Ye Fei continued to stand and looked into the other party's eyes, "For this, I need to talk to the Great Shaman."
"Land? You are late for young people. At this time, the ice field is rampant, poisonous insects are densely populated, tribes merge with each other, crowding in several relatively safe places, waiting for the bad luck that will come at some unknown time.
The shamans should not leave the temple. It is precisely because of the serious situation that the shamans were forced to take action and attack everywhere to find a solution to the plague."
"Plague? Are you talking about those white bugs?"
"It's not just about them. About three years ago, the plague began to rage on the ice field. Large areas of tribe members died, and thousands of cattle and sheep fell ill. Without exception, they crawled out of their bodies after death. The insects were very powerful. We called them white worms. As long as they touched your skin, they would tear them open immediately and lay eggs at the wound. In a short time, you will be eaten clean by a large number of hatched eggs from the inside out.
Later we found that the source of insects is water, and only by cutting off the water source can they be cured. So we gather in places with abundant water sources, strictly control the daily use of water, and the drinking water must be boiled. However, it is still impossible to prevent the flooding of insects, because they have taken root in cattle and sheep. As long as we eat cattle and sheep, there is a possibility of parasitism.
Since then, cattle and sheep are no longer free-range, but are enclosed within a fixed range, enjoying the food and water we have checked without problems.
Our tribes merged and gathered, just to occupy high-quality water sources and raise cattle and sheep. Wars broke out frequently between tribes, and the competition for territory became something we had to face, and we began to kill each other.
As the death toll rose, mosquitoes and flies began to flood, and they crept in and out of the dead, enjoying the joy brought by rotten flesh and blood. They forage in groups, and even the cold climate and the bitter wind could not stop them from moving forward. Only the burning flames could destroy them.
In the face of a huge disaster, our tribe was unable to resist. At this time, our savior, shaman, came. The shaman used his sacred power to defeat the raging mosquitoes, promote peace talks among the tribes, and help the tribes divide their territory and establish a new order. Although due to limited resources, conflicts and wars still arise between tribes from time to time, they are no longer as large-scale dead as before.
However, the rampant mosquitoes is already hard to contain. They are pervasive and attack us several times a day. The shamans are working hard to find ways to eradicate them."
"No wonder you sent trained barbarian soldiers to deal with a few wolf, and it turned out to be wary of the tribes."
"Yes, although the tense relationship between tribes has been regulated by shamans, there are only a few high-quality territory, and other places are both dangerous and barren. Tribes in disadvantaged positions are naturally full of covetousness for tribes that occupy advantageous positions, and harassment occurs from time to time almost every day."
"In this way, as long as the plague is eradicated, you can return to your original home, and the war between tribes will stop because of this, yes."
"Yes."
Ye Fei was silent. He now faced two choices. First, he turned around and left immediately, ignoring the plague and killing the barbarian soldiers and people. When they were almost dead, he would let Jiuli find a country here. Second, help the barbarians clear the plague, and then use it to gain a fertile land, where Jiuli founded the country.
If you turn around and leave without any questions, the plague will continue to rage on the ice field. If you can't control it, the entire ice field may become a Shura field and will no longer be suitable for living. Helping the barbarians eliminate the plague may be a good way, but you must negotiate the conditions in advance and meet the great shaman first.
Ye Fei said: "I deeply sympathize with your experience. Maybe I can help you, but I have a requirement that after the plague problem is solved, we will have a land suitable for living and undisturbed to build a country. For this reason, I need to meet your great shaman."
