Nine Star Burden

The mighty team continued to move forward, and Jiang Xiao saw a living place that could be called a tribe.

A fence made of trees hugged the mountains behind, enclosing a huge semicircular camp.

Within the tribe, tents were set up high, with branches stuck in front of the tents and special ornaments hung on them, mostly skeletons.

The savages have a clear division of labor and are all busy with their own things.

This tribe is so big that Jiang Xiao seems to have walked into another giant country.

The savage team at the door did not stop everyone, but their eyes looked at Jiang Xiao in the team with great curiosity.

Walking into the tribe, savages in twos and threes were polishing stone tools.

In front of the bonfire, there were some female savages cooking meat in stone pots, and some female savages seemed to be scalding the fur of ape ghosts.

Jiang Xiao didn't know exactly what they were going to do, but after the piece of skin was ironed, it was hung on a pulled out line to dry.

Jiang Xiao noticed the key point. All the savages here were wearing clothes, especially the female savages, who were tightly wrapped.

Jiang Xiao didn't say it was bad to do this, he just thought it was abnormal and seemed to be ordered and forced by someone.

One by one, the savage female bows left quietly. In the end, only the savage witch holding He Chongyang in her arms and Jiang Xiao who followed them were left.

The three of them walked for a long time, almost passing through the tribe, and finally arrived at the cave at the foot of the mountain.

This is the home of the leader's grandpa. He Chongyang lay in the arms of the savage witch, with his little head protruding from the witch's shoulders, waving to Jiang Xiao repeatedly, My mother said that the leader's grandpa is the smartest, so you must listen. his words.

Hey. Jiang Xiao looked at the savage guards on both sides. One of the guards went in to report. After a while, he ran out and let everyone in.

Jiang Xiao followed the steps of the Savage Witch and walked in.

After passing through the not-so-long cave tunnel, Jiang Xiao and others came to the hall. Different from the torches inserted on the walls in the tunnel, there were stone pillars standing everywhere in this hall. On the stone pillar was a disk with burning fire inside. It is lit with flames and has a very modern art feel.

Inside the hall, there was a stone seat. Directly in front of the seat, there was a piece of skin of the Ape Ghost King, which made Jiang Xiao feel like he had entered a bandit's den.

Does this old man have some artistic taste?

Sitting on the stone seat was an old man. His purple eyes were a little cloudy, not as eerie as those of the young and middle-aged savages.

There is a brown headband tied on his forehead, and his white hair is also tied into two big braids, draped over his left and right shoulders in a double ponytail posture.

At this moment, Jiang Xiao felt the fear of being dominated by the Twin Ponytails.

From now on, how should he face the cute girl with twin tails?

Ha! Good afternoon! The old man He Chongyang waved his hand and said, struggling to jump out of the arms of the savage witch, but was stopped.

The Savage Witch tightened her arms around He Chongyang,

He was communicating with the old savage on the seat.

They spoke the language of the savages, which Jiang Xiao couldn't understand at all.

No, no! He is a good person! He is a good person! He Chongyang suddenly shouted, startling Jiang Xiao.

Old Savage: # ￥ @%!

He Chongyang: # ￥% @!

Old Savage: ￥#@￥.

A layer of mist rose in He Chongyang's beautiful big eyes, and his emotions came very quickly. He struggled and jumped out of the arms of the savage witch, pointing at the old savage: You! You

The Savage Witch hurriedly knelt down and whispered something to He Chongyang.

Ah! He Chongyang stamped his feet vigorously, You are all bad people! All of you!

As he said that, He Chongyang turned around and ran away, with a hint of sobs in his voice.

Little Chongyang. Jiang Xiao turned around and was about to follow.

Hello, human being. On the huge stone base, Twin Ponytails spoke, There have been no humans here for a long time.

Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the old savage.

What does it mean to be correct in words and speaking in a round tone! ?

The old savage smiled, and the wrinkles on his face piled up. To be honest, his face was a bit ugly.

He said: You can call me Blue, I hope the lady can give me a name.

Blue?

Are you not blue either?

Jiang Xiao blinked and looked at Old Blu up and down.

Haha. Blue chuckled with a friendly attitude, When I first met Ms. Zhu Yue, she was holding a crying baby and was chased by ape ghosts. My tribe and I drove away those ape ghosts. Our tribe In the English language, the pronunciation of the word 'attack' sounds very much like 'bru'.

Blue demonstrated on the spot: Bu Lun, it means to charge and kill.

Jiang Xiao frowned slightly and said, Is this what happened to Little Chongyang?

Old Blu didn't answer any questions at all. There was a hint of memory in his cloudy eyes, and he said to himself: Ms. Zhu Yue is He Chongyang's mother. That encounter was also an accident. If she had Without a baby in her arms, maybe we wouldn’t have rescued her, and maybe there would be no subsequent story.”

Jiang Xiao suppressed his doubts, and he knew in his heart that He Chongyang would not be in any danger here.

Ms. Zhu Yue, Bru said softly, leaning her elbows on the armrests of the stone seat and cradling her face with her old palms, she has brought us more civilization, she has taught us human language and writing, and she has taught us how to row. She brought us a lot of valuable knowledge about troop formations and some interesting strategies.”

Blue leaned forward slightly, put his elbows on his knees, lowered his head, and looked at Jiang Xiao with his huge and turbid eyes: Ms. Zhu Yue asked us to remember a sentence: What distinguishes humans from animals is wisdom. What differentiates us from others is wisdom.”

Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and the arc of the circle mask was also a bit strange.

Blue looked at Jiang Xiao quietly: She taught us to delay gratification.

Jiang Xiao was slightly stunned: What are you?

Jiang Xiao looked at Blue stupidly. Why don't you teach me something? What's the satisfaction?

Blue continued: She called this place the birch forest, and it was a paradise in her mouth.

This place is surrounded by mountains, and the mountains are so high that few other species will jump down here. There is everything we need for survival, food, water, and a stable living environment.

Jiang Xiao smiled and said, That's not what I saw. The ape ghost clan almost wiped you out.

Blue shook his head: The Ape Ghost King was just an accident. Maybe it mistakenly entered here with its population and led the local ape ghost population. As for those local ape ghost populations, they are the creatures we have released.

Jiang Xiao:? ? ?

Blue said: We do not have the ability to keep ape ghosts in captivity for the time being, so we can only let them free. Ms. Zhu Yue told us that ape ghosts are our stable source of food. Even if we are enemies of life and death, in this relatively closed environment, we cannot Destroy them all at once.

Once the ape ghost population in the birch forest dies out and farming cannot meet our survival needs, civil strife will occur. I lead a tribe with thousands of people, and I know our daily consumption.

Jiang Xiao was shocked and nodded silently.

Blue continued: Ms. Zhu Yue taught us not to pick up the fruit and eat it in one bite, but to let the magical soil react with the fruit. After a few months, there will be more fruit.

She told us not to replenish the fish in the river all at once. If we take a little, the river will give us more.

At this moment, Jiang Xiao found that he was being taught a lesson by a savage

Blue: My tribe is prosperous and prosperous, living a safe life in this birch forest. Human being, tell me now, what reasons do you use to impress me and let you, an outsider, live.

Jiang Xiao:? ? ?

Blu leaned on the bone cane and stood up slowly: Everything I said is to express to you my good impression of human beings, and also to tell you how my tribe has developed to this day. Precious and difficult.

But Ms. Zhu Yue told me not to trust humans easily. I have high respect for her, but I don’t want to judge you easily or make decisions easily.

Jiang Xiao looked at Blue silently, knowing what direction this topic would take.

Blue: You saved He Chongyang, saved many of our tribesmen, and killed the Ape Ghost King. This is your actual action. I am willing to pay respect and gratitude to you. So, human being, tell me that you will always be here. Survive here, right? You won't leave.

Jiang Xiao, who possesses the skill of sensing stars, has been keenly aware that a large number of savage warriors have gathered outside the cave entrance.

Haha. Jiang Xiao smiled and said, Are you worried that I will go out and expose your paradise? What good will this do to me?

Blue: Ms. Zhu Yue said that humans are complex creatures with high intelligence. This planet is more dangerous than your home. All humans who set foot on this planet will do whatever it takes to survive.

I saved your savage clan and killed the ape-ghost king. If you are still not satisfied with this petition, I don't know what to say. Jiang Xiao said in a deep voice, Besides, do you really think you can stop me? You have to live with me.

Ms. Zhu Yue is right. I have never been able to grasp the scale of communication with others. After all, I am dealing with my own people. Blue sighed softly, I'm sorry, my words made you treat me badly. Feeling disgusted. Also, you can explain to me what a ‘certificate of submission’ is in a moment.”

Blu changed the topic and continued: But this is my home. Ms. Zhu Yue said that if a certain group of people wants to survive here, then this birch forest will be a perfect place to survive.

One day, someone will discover this place and someone will seize it. I hope you stay here and you are treated like a hero.

Haha. Jiang Xiao curled his lips and smiled, really not knowing what to say.

Blue looked serious: For you, maybe there is only disdain. For us, the birch forest is the foundation of our existence. We have different starting points and fundamentally different concerns. Human beings have high-level wisdom, I believe you can understand me.”

What you said, old man, is indeed interesting. Jiang Xiao waved his hand, Let me tell you two facts.

Blue: Huh?

Jiang Xiao raised a finger: I can deceive you. If I say I will stay here for the rest of my life, who will you send to guard me every day?

I was on the run and disappeared without a trace. Your soldiers have seen me perform this star skill. You can't even keep ape ghosts in captivity. What can you do to stop me?

Blue:

Jiang Xiao raised a second finger: Second, have you heard of the White Ghost Witch? It is also a creature that lives on the land of Beijiang.

Blue nodded.

Jiang Xiaodao: It has a star skill called bait. And I am the bait!

Blue:! ! !

Jiang Xiaodao: My body is not here. As long as I think about it, the location of your home has been exposed now. Do you understand what I mean?

Blue's breathing gradually became faster.

Jiang Xiao said: You don't have anything I want here, and there won't be any conflicts of interest between us. You don't need to pray that I will be merciful. The only thing you need to pray for now is that I am a kind person.

With that said, Jiang Xiao walked towards the tunnel and said: We have already spoken frankly, you have to think about what to do. Now, I hope to focus more time and energy on Xiao Chongyang.

Also, don’t tell anyone about me being a bait, otherwise, we will all easily get into trouble.

Behind him, Blue's gloomy expression seemed to turn to water.

As Jiang Xiao walked out of the tunnel, he stopped for a moment and said, By the way, your hero wants to eat grilled fish tonight, remember to make arrangements.

Blue:

Jiang Xiao walked out of the tunnel step by step, and saw a group of huge savage warriors at the entrance.

In the distance, Blue's voice came from the cave: ￥#@ (give way).
