Chapter 321: Two Ways
This awkward night finally passed. Early the next morning, I bid farewell to the enthusiastic couple and said that I was going to go to the Devil's Lake.
When the two heard this, they were shocked: "Dear Warrior, have you made something wrong? Are you going to the Lake of Devils?"
I said yes, and the two of them hurriedly grabbed me and kept persuading me that that place was a forbidden place for death, and that people from their tribe even had a ban to strictly prohibit anyone from approaching the lake.
But I definitely won't give up. This is the key to whether I can lift the curse and whether I can survive.
But to my surprise, Uka and the others said to me anxiously: "No, Brother Qi, if you want to go to Devil Lake, you must pass through the Valley of Death, where there are troops guards of the temple. Unless there is an order from the great priest himself, no one can pass!"
I was a little confused now. Is there an army guarding me?
Although my personal strength is relatively strong, when I encounter the savage army, I still have no power to resist.
After all, I killed the master with random punches. Even if I killed dozens or even nearly a hundred of them, I still want to die.
"Is there no other way to this lake? Why don't the temple pass by?"
I couldn't help asking them both.
"Brother Qi, have you never heard of the terrible things about Devil Lake?"
The two looked at me in confusion.
"I really don't know this. My tribe is on the side of the poisonous forest. And I used to live alone on the mountain and rarely contact outsiders."
I lied casually.
The Uka couple didn't think much about it, and quickly believed me and quickly explained the legend of the Devil Lake to me.
It is said that there is a huge portal in this Devil Lake that leads to the boundless hell.
Hell is the territory of the devil's waste. People in the temple are worried that someone will go to the Devil's Lake and will be tempted from hell to bring the dead devil's legion to the earth.
Those temple troops guarding the Canyon of Death are also called the brave men guarding the hell.
The legend they said made me frown.
This sounds like a completely fictional myth.
What's the gate to hell? Under that lake, is the underworld?
How could I believe this kind of nonsense?
I think that the people of the Temple of Anna control this lake and do not allow ordinary people to approach it, probably because they have some shameful secrets.
As for the road to Devil Lake, Uka and the others said that this is indeed the only one.
The Valley of Death is a very narrow valley, the kind that can only be opened by one man and ten thousand men.
The guards of the temple army had about two or three hundred people, not to mention the full armed forces, but also built fortifications at the entrance of the canyon, a tower. There were also trenchers and other things on the tower, saying that they were to guard against wild beasts.
This made me very distressed. With this kind of guardian power, I wanted to kill directly, which was just seeking death.
I was standing on the plain with two hundred wild soldiers and fighting each other. Maybe I still have a little chance, but now I am hiding in the tower and shooting arrows with me in groups. If I want to win, it would be a dream.
I thought about it carefully and found that now I only have two paths to go.
The first one is that the people waiting for the company to take action. These people will come sooner or later. If they want to go to Devil Lake, they will definitely have a conflict with the guards of the temple. These people are numerous and powerful, and advanced weapons will definitely win.
However, when they come, even if I get in, I am afraid that the next action will be very difficult.
The company has always been domineering in style. If I want to get something, it will probably be difficult.
And the second way is to sneak into the savage city, get the trust of the great priest, and find a way to let him let me go.
This great priest, who has the same status as the high priest of the Lucheng City, has a little different title.
Of course, this method is undoubtedly very difficult. So far, I am confused.
However, it may not be possible to try it.
It's not the first time I've been involved in the savage tribe.
When I was in the City of Lu, I pretended to be the Savage Prince for a long time.
In the end, I became the king, and no one noticed me at that time.
I thought about it, anyway, the people in the company have not arrived yet, and they don’t have a map, so they are circling around. I don’t know when it will come. I might as well use the second method first and give it a try. Maybe it will succeed?
Even if I don’t succeed, isn’t I missing any loss? I’m waiting.
Thinking of this, I quickly told the Uka couple that I had given up the idea of going to Devil Lake.
When the two heard this, they were very happy and warmly invited me to stay for a few more days.
I had no choice but to stay with great affection.
In order to better integrate into the Anna tribe, I began to inquire with the Uka couple about a lot of news about their tribe.
It turns out that the Anna tribe is also a powerful force with a large territory.
I roughly estimated that this Anna tribe is not much weaker than the group of savages in the City of Lu.
In addition to those big and small villages, they also have a huge city called Moon City.
According to Uka, there are about 10,000 or 20,000 people in this Moon City.
The population of this capital is a little less than that of the Lucheng, but some small villages under the Anna tribe have relatively more populations.
As for the fact that I wanted to enter Moon City, Uka told me that it would depend on his help.
"Brother Qi, you have to go back to our village with me. If you want to go to Moon City, you must get a recommendation from the village chief. This recommendation is usually for those powerful warriors. There may have been someone in the village to choose, but I think you are definitely worthy of this recommendation than that person!"
The house where the Uka couple lives now was used when they were collecting herbs and hunting on the mountain. They also have another residence in the village.
And these days, I have lived with the Uka couple in the past few days, and have also hunted them several times, showing my skills a little, which made the two of them respect and love me more and more. Their strength towards me was amazing.
Although a savage is tall and powerful, and is far better than ordinary people outside, I am definitely not an ordinary person now. I can even challenge the king's tail among the savages, so that Wuka, an ordinary hunter, can still feel inferior to his strength.
"Look, this is our village!"
The next day, I finally followed Uka to their village.
A very strange-style building community appeared in front of me.
