Original War

Chapter 294 City and King

What you see is a sea of ​​sand. The sand dunes formed by the strong wind stretched far away. Under the eyes, no vegetation was seen. The exposed rocks of different sizes formed various strange shapes under the erosion of wind and sand.

Shao Xuan looked at the rock above his head that was as big and narrow as the ET alien, and felt that the rock would not be able to bear it, breaking and collapsing.

After a half-day trek, the team rested here, just to use these rocks to block the hot sun.

If you lay an egg on the ground at this time, it will be cooked immediately.

“The man from the Mang tribe said where are we going?” Tuo asked.

“Liuye City.” Shao Xuan said, “It’s the territory of the slave owner.”

Two days after entering the desert, Huang Ye told Shao Xuan and the others what the destination of the trip was. Shao Xuan asked many times before and failed to get a reply. He only got one sentence: “I’ll know it then”. On the way, Shao Xuan and the three could obviously feel the rejection of them by others. It seems that this time they were just taken away. The cutscene was not arranged into the plan.

Especially the people of the Tianshan tribe, not only guarded against the three Shao Xuan, but also with obvious hostility, often pointed at the Shao Xuan three with arrows, and the two sides almost fought several times.

People from other tribes will have elders to tell the relevant information, only the three of Yanjiao, no one talks to them too much, even Quce and others who usually talk to the three more often, have repeatedly said and stopped. , They dare not talk nonsense.

Now, I was finally told that I was going to a place called “Liuyecheng” that belonged to a certain slave owner. And the people who kept their mouth shut before can now reveal more things and speak more casually.

When facing the Yanjiao trio, some of the people in the team seemed aloof, probably like the feeling of urban intellectuals looking at the rural soft-shelled turtles.

The concept of “city” is quite unfamiliar to the people of Yanjiao. In their knowledge, they only know the concept of tribe. As for “city”, it is blurred. Without Shao Xuan’s explanation, Lei and Tuo have gone up to now. All confused.

“‘City’, I really want to see which is bigger compared to the tribe. By the way, A Xuan, they said, who is the biggest in the’city’?’The leader’?” Lei asked.

“No, I heard it is the ‘Lord’.” Tuo said.

“‘Master’ is called like that when he is a slave, others are not.” Lei corrected.

“It’s the’king’, the highest ruler in the city calls himself the’king’.” Shao Xuan said.

From what Shao Xuan has learned, there are multiple slave owners in this desert, with their subordinates entrenched everywhere. The place where each slave owner is located is called a “city”, not a tribe. The “tribe”.

It stands to reason that slave owners and tribesmen cannot coexist peacefully, but there are always a few special places.

Fallen Leaf City is the most special one among the desert cities.

In the past, the “king” of Fallen City was also a slave owner who hated the tribe people. From generation to generation, the ruler of Fallen City is changing, and the style of Fallen City is also changing.

The biggest change occurred twenty years ago.

The former King of Fallen Leaves robbed many beautiful female slaves because of his lustful nature, and gave birth to a bunch of sons and daughters.

Originally, under normal circumstances, only the offspring born to the slave owner can inherit the powerful abilities of their parents. Because of this, many slave owners did not take the offspring of those slaves seriously and threw them directly into it. The slaves were raised as slaves, and until 20 years ago, there was a strong counterattack.

The father who counterattacked was a slave owner, and his mother was just an inferior slave with little ability, but this was the one who had fully inherited his father’s abilities, and was gifted so that he was even better than his father when he became an adult. Later, the counter-attacker not only slaughtered his slave master father, but also the slave master queen, as well as the half-brother who was about to inherit the throne.

The counter-attacker who was shocked by an unknown number of chins was now the supreme ruler of Fallen City, the largest slave owner in Fallen City, and became the Fallen King.

When they heard this, Lei and Tuo were completely puzzled. Probably these were not in line with their three views. In the Yanjiao tribe, even if it is competition, they cannot fight in such a bad manner, let alone have blood. Brothers, but, after all, it was someone else’s family affair. Besides, their leader didn’t find so many descendants in his life, Wu Ke was watching.

“That fallen leaf king should be the best slave owner to the tribe people, right? Otherwise, it is impossible to let the tribe people enter the city.” Tuo said.

“Then you have to go to the city and take a look.” Shao Xuan said. He didn’t think that the fallen leaf king who had cut off his father and his brothers and sisters would look at the tribe people differently. Most likely, he used the tribe people to fight against other slave owners. After all, a counterattack that shocked countless jaws would have to pay a high price.

“Let’s go, head towards Fallen Leaf City!” Lei said, looking at the person who got up over there.

After the team set off again, they traveled for two more days. Sometimes they can’t find a suitable place to rest, just in the desert. I also encountered some desert beasts that came out at night. Four people were lost in the team and dragged into the sand, where they could never be found.

On the fifth day into the desert, the team continued to move forward against the sun. Compared to the long-distance teams that Shao Xuan had seen, this team was considered the most abused team.

Hot and dry air waves swept across the boundless desert.

The wind is windy, the wind whirls and winds.

The sand was blown into dunes.

Not far away, on the tall hills like mountains, some sand particles were blown up and blown across the ridge.

The main body of such a tall sand dune does not know how many years it has existed, maybe hundreds of years, thousands of years, or even longer.

“Look, there is someone over there!” It wasn’t just someone who shouted.

Looking sideways, there is a tall hill in the distance. On the ridge, there is a group of people walking on it with camels.

“Who is that? A slave in which city?”

“I can’t see clearly, I don’t know which city it is, but depending on the direction they are going, it should also belong to Fallen City, right?” someone said.

“Don’t worry, keep going, we are almost there too,” an elderly person said.

When encountering slaves, as long as those slaves don’t take the initiative to look for things, people in the long-distance team will not take action at will. They have to save their energy and go on the road, and don’t want to spend more energy to deal with those slaves.

As he continued to move forward, Shao Xuan found that the team was walking in the same direction as theirs, and the camel he was holding began to get excited.

“Is this seeing the same kind?” Shao Xuan pulled the agitated camel, not letting it rush forward.

There seemed to be some other smells in the air, drifting with the wind. The camel next to him was even more excited, as if he wanted to run away with his hoofs. Not in the direction of the team, but directly forward.

“Liuyecheng is here?” Lei also smelled other breaths in the air. Because I hunt frequently, I am very sensitive to changes in surrounding odors.

In addition to the change in smell, there are also some sounds.

Over another hill, Shao Xuan saw the destination of their trip-Luoye City.

At this time, the sun has already slanted and set toward the horizon.

The orange sunset shines on the vast desert, and looking forward, there are large tracts of leaves with the same color as the sunset.

Orange trees, orange sunsets, and desert cities dyed by the sunset.

It is said that the tree with the most in Fallen City is the sunset tree, because the color of the leaves is similar to that of the sunset and never changes color throughout the year, so it is named. Even the symbol of Fallen City is the deciduous tree.

It is said that a deciduous tree will live without death for a thousand years, die without falling for a thousand years, and be immortal for a thousand years. I’ve heard it, but I don’t know the facts. However, looking around, there are indeed large tracts of sunset trees in Fallen City, and seeing these trees makes people feel cool. After walking in the desert for so many days, except for sand which is stone, now it is rare to see so many plants, and I feel much better.

In addition to the sunset trees, there are some unknown grasses in the city week. Although not many, they do exist. No wonder the camel next to him is so excited. This is because he has noticed the food.

Standing on the sand dunes and looking towards the Fallen City, there is a tall building in addition to the trees in the same color as the setting sun.

Below the building is a huge stone block built up like a pyramid, and above is a house built.

“The highest place in Fallen Leaf City is where the king lives.” said an elder who returned to the tribe.
