Path of light

Chapter 431 432. Headhunter Tribe

The mine guards were stationed at the south pass of the Tianpu Canyon. Roy was not in a hurry to enter the northern part of the plateau. He first sent a griffon regiment to conduct a reconnaissance in the northern part of the plateau.

Then he secretly entered the northern part of the plateau with the members of the Zakarum Adventure Group. Kaka took a group of friends and drove Roy, Woods, Sabrina, Moira and Miss Tiffany to a remote mountain col. landed in.

In this mountain range, groups of wind wolves can be seen everywhere...

These wind wolves like to lie on the cliffs of mountains. When they have their eyes on prey, they will jump down from the cliffs and slowly stand behind the prey, waiting for the best opportunity to hunt.

Wind wolves usually like to hunt in teams. They will not pounce on their prey immediately after seeing it. They will follow the prey with their excellent endurance, waiting for the prey to show flaws and fatigue, and then attack in groups.

Therefore, in the northern part of the plateau, although the wind wolves are only weak first-level monsters, they can defeat high-level monsters that are several times more powerful than them.

When these wind wolves stare at prey, they will howl around and call their companions around them.

They jumped down from the cliff and walked around behind the prey, just licking their lips and following behind silently.

When the prey realizes that there are wind wolves behind them, they are just a little restless at first. Later, when they find that the wind wolves are gathering more and more, they will become nervous and panicked. At this time, many prey only know how to escape desperately. When their physical strength is exhausted, , the wind wolf following behind will show up from behind, and kill the prey in one fell swoop.

Obviously Roy and these mixed-blood elves are not in Wind Wolf's diet.

Several wind wolves saw Roy and several mixed-blood elves jumping off the backs of the griffins, and just glanced at them from a distance. They neither planned to escape nor to catch up, and they completely ignored Roy and his group.

Roy and Woods were a little nervous. They were a little worried about being surrounded by wolves and then exposed to the sight of headhunters...

So everyone became cautious when jumping off the gryphon.

The elves don't like wolf skins very much. Even if the fur of the wind wolf is in Castletown, its value is far less than that of the magic antelope skin.

The Zakarum Adventure Group's entry into the northern part of the plateau this time was not only a reconnaissance mission, but also one of the few outings for the Zakarum Adventure Group in half a year.

After spending two months on the Pajisto Plateau, the team members have grown significantly...

Except for Roy, who has not yet become a high priest, everyone else in the team has successfully been promoted.

Kaka and little Eugene told Roy the time when the griffons would come here again, as well as the contact information of the magic flares, and then rode the griffons into the sky. They would continue to fly north, thinking Try to find the mysterious place of the ancestors of Gazan.

"There is a headhunter village ahead. Do we want to go there and take a look?"

After walking for a while in the mountain col, Woods finally obtained such information by communicating with some big trees in the forest.

"Well, let's go take a look. I want to see the real life of headhunters in the northern part of the plateau." Roy carefully pushed aside the grass in front of him, trying to find a way through the woods.

Although this forest area is a coniferous forest, it is full of weeds and shrubs. It is actually difficult to walk through these weeds.

Miss Tiffany doesn't like this kind of cold, dry and difficult to walk in the woods.

For a naga mermaid, walking through the woods is like a human swimming in the water.

Sabrina is half Wood Elf, so she feels particularly at home walking into the forest.

In fact, Woods is also a person with the blood of wood elf, but it is not shown in his body.

"Do you have any ideas about these headhunter tribes?" Miss Tiffany followed from behind and asked Roy who was waiting in front.

Roy asked everyone to sit down and rest for a while, and then said:

"Well... This time, headhunters hunted mixed elves on the Pagisto Plateau. The mixed elves are currently fighting back. Even if these headhunters are driven back to the northern part of the plateau, I think it will be impossible to curb this momentum. They are hunters by nature, and hunting is actually a part of their lives. If we beat them off this time, they will come back next time."

"So I plan to see how these headhunters live. If possible, I want to bring these headhunter tribes together and manage them in a unified way, at least to get them out of this hunting life."

"..."

Miss Tiffany didn't expect Roy to have such a plan.

"I thought you would drive these headhunters out of Pagisto Plateau, but I didn't expect you wanted to arrest all the headhunters..."

Roy smiled and said, "I don't mean to arrest them all, but to move them to a suitable place to live. These are just my ideas. I don't know if they can be realized!"

"We will help you..." Miss Tiffany said at the right time.

Moira stood on the horizontal branch of a tall tree, observing the surrounding situation vigilantly.

Those wind wolves seemed to know that Roy's adventure group was not easy to mess with, and they didn't even bother to follow the team.

…

If Roy hadn't come to the headhunter tribe to see it with his own eyes, Roy would never have imagined how difficult a life those seemingly ferocious headhunters lived in the northern part of the plateau.

The headhunter community in the mountain col lives in some very simple tree houses. The fir trees in the woods here are very tall.

Headhunters dig tree holes in these big trees and live in the trees. These tree holes are only for sleeping. Except when sleeping, headhunters rarely stay in tree holes.

There is often an open space among several fir trees, and a bonfire is lit in the open space, with some burnt blackened stones surrounding the fire.

Headhunters are not afraid of the wild beasts in the mountains, so their residences are somewhat scattered in the woods. They often just surround a bonfire with a few big trees and form a small living circle.

You can always see some female headhunters around the campfire...

Roy had always thought that there were only men in the headhunter community, and the women used by the tribe to reproduce their offspring were snatched back from the aboriginal tribes in the mountains.

It doesn't look like this now. There will be some young female headhunters who are responsible for guarding the campfires. The women in the community mainly rely on collecting and hunting small animals for a living. They wear clothes sewn from animal skins, and they are all naked even in such cold weather. He lifted his feet and exposed part of his calf.

There will be a dagger tied to the calf. This dagger is similar to a skinning knife. Its main function is to cut meat and peel skin.

The tree house in the fir tree looked more like a tree hole where bears lived. Roy and the adventure group just secretly observed outside the village. They had no intention of rushing into the village.

A female headhunter was laying a piece of animal skin on the ground next to the bonfire. She was holding a scraper polished with stone in her hand and was scraping the greased side of the leather hard. She wanted to grease the leather. After hanging up, two dirty children squatted aside, wearing only pullovers and leather jackets.

Next to the tree hole, you can also see some dark wooden bowls. It can be seen that this group of headhunters had a difficult life.

Probably all the men in the tribe have gone out to fight. There are only some women, old people and children in the village. Their hunting skills are not strong, and there are not so many small animals to catch in the woods.

Judging from their sallow complexion and thin skin, they must be hungry often...

…

The adventure group did not disturb the headhunter's village. Roy just observed for a while and then quietly left.

When they returned along the original route, they happened to see a team of headhunters at the location agreed with Kaka.

A group of young headhunters carried short flying spears on their backs and hung swords on their waists. They forced a wind wolf under a big tree. The leader of the group was an old headhunter with hair all over his head. It has turned gray, the skin all over his body also looks a little loose, and his eyes are cloudy.

It's just that his face is covered with black patterns, which spread through his neck to his chest and back.

The old headhunter held a short flying spear and stood aside without saying a word.

Confronting the wind wolf was a young headhunter. His face did not have any black patterns. He held a war blade in his hand and leaned down to stare at the fanged wind wolf...

The wind wolf seemed very anxious, and there were low growls in his throat.

It can no longer escape. It is surrounded by a circle of young headhunters and there is no way to break out.

Roy noticed that there were no other wind wolves around, maybe a lone wolf.

Roy and the rest of the adventure group were squatting in the grass on the mountain. Through the gaps in the forest, they could just see the whole hunting process of the headhunters.

The young headhunter's combat skills still need to be improved, but his skills are very flexible and his steps are very strong. Every time he jumps, he can avoid the bite of the wind wolf in a very thrilling way, but the war blade in his hand is flying in the wind. The wolf's neck was stabbed with a sword. When the young headhunter saw the sword hit Feng Lang's neck, he rushed forward and reached out to push Feng Lang to the ground.

The wind wolf whimpered and turned to bite the young headhunter's wrist. A short flying spear appeared in the young headhunter's hand and was accurately inserted into the wind wolf's mouth.

A wind blade flew past the young headhunter's cheek and hit the tree, causing a deep gash in the tree.

Then the wind wolf and the young headhunter rolled together. With his strong body, the young headhunter finally cut open the wind wolf's head with the war blade in his hand and hunted him...

The old headhunter strode up, scolding the young headhunter in headhunter language, and dipped his fingers in the blood flowing from Wind Wolf's neck, drawing a picture on the young headhunter's face. The rune pattern, and the solemn look on his face, seemed to be performing some kind of ceremony.

Although the young headhunter was completely exhausted, he knelt down in front of the old headhunter with great satisfaction and allowed him to draw patterns on his face with wolf blood.

Then the old headhunter took out some herbs and kept chewing them in his mouth. After chewing them, he spit them into his hands and smeared the dark green sticky paste on the young headhunter's face.

In the end, the old headhunter actually took out a long needle and carefully pierced the young headhunter's face. It must have been tattooed with those mysterious patterns, which looked more like a coming-of-age ceremony...

Not only Roy was very curious, but the other members of the adventure group were also very curious.

"Are they tattooing their faces?" Moira asked Sabrina beside her in a low voice.

Sabrina nodded.

“…%￥% # \u0026…”

A string of language that no one understood came from a big tree, and then a short flying spear flew out of the tree.

Sabrina was the most vigilant and immediately drew out the Seruki sword and knocked the short flying spear away.

But this sword seemed to have touched a hornet's nest, and the figures of young headhunters appeared on other big trees around. All the young headhunters were holding short flying spears in their hands, squatting on the big tree, looking at this with eager eyes. side.

When the headhunters on the other side of the forest glade heard the shouting, they immediately stopped their activities and ran over quickly.

Roy found at least twenty young headhunters squatting in the surrounding trees, and almost everyone was holding a short flying spear in their hand.

In addition, six headhunters came running from the forest clearing. The old headhunter walked at the front. His face was full of wrinkles, but his skills were still strong.

He stopped more than twenty meters away from Roy and asked in Elvish with a strange tone:

"Where are you from?"

Roy walked out of the grass, stood at the front of the adventure group, and said to the old headhunter:

"We are mixed elves who came here from the southern plateau..."

Before Roy could finish speaking, the old headhunter had already translated Roy's words in Aboriginal language. Whether on the tree or under the tree, all the young headhunters were in jubilation, as if they were celebrating something. ceremony.

All the young headhunters not only cheered, but also kept looking at Roy and his group.

A young headhunter cheered and said:

"@#￥%...\u0026! (They are mixed-blood elves!)"

“…% # \u0026?…￥\u0026%*￥￥*%\u0026…###%\u0026\u0026*\u0026*￥! (They are pigs? They don’t look like much… Their clothes are very beautiful! )"

"\u0026%￥ # \u0026%￥#@#￥ # ! (There are a group of mixed-blood elves here, come and grab them!)"

"..."

Roy couldn't understand them, but it was obvious that these young headhunters were very excited.

Some young headhunters had already gathered around, holding war blades and short flying spears in their hands. Everyone threw their short flying spears at Roy and the others almost at the same time.

The old headhunter held a war blade in his hand and was on guard at the side.

The young headhunter then rushed up...

A quarter of an hour later, the forest clearing was filled with the corpses of young headhunters. Even the old headhunter had a bloody hole in his throat, and blood dripped all over the ground.

He was dying and sitting next to a big tree, looking helplessly at the sky.

The battle was a bit inexplicable, and even made Roy dumbfounded. Although the battle was won, Roy had no intention of taking action just now.

When the headhunters saw them, they were even more excited than when they saw the wind wolf. They rushed up inexplicably, and then fell to Sabrina's sword mountain and Woods' bear paw. No one could stop them. Withstand the attack from both of them.

By the time the young headhunters realized something was wrong, it was already too late to withdraw from the battle.

Until Roy and his group left the woods full of corpses,

The two young headhunters who were seriously injured but not dead were still complaining:

"These pigs are so powerful, we failed to learn our skills well..."
