Chapter 43

Strange to say, the Dals tribe is not big, and Lu Kang has repeatedly met many familiar people in the past few days, but Wesley never saw him once, as if he was deliberately avoiding him.

Later, at Luna's funeral, Lu Kang saw Wesley.

Because Luna died protecting her hunter during a hunting trip, Luna's funeral was held grandly, and all the members of the Dals tribe came and stood around Luna's cremated body.

The high priest stood on the high platform, chanting a somewhat complicated language, which Lu Kang could not understand. It was older than the language they speak now. Although they came from the same lineage and had something in common in the language family, but The content of the specific lyrics is somewhat difficult to understand.

This was the first time Lu Kang saw the high priest. He couldn't even tell the high priest's gender. The high priest was wrapped tightly from head to toe by thick animal skins, and his face was completely hidden under the skin. in the shadows.Lu Kang could only judge from the exposed smooth chin that the age of the high priest was not as old as he had imagined.

As the high priest finished his libretto, everyone dispersed one after another. Lu Kang asked Molus softly, "Is this the end?"

"Yes." Molus nodded, and he shook Lu Kang's hand lightly, indicating that something was wrong.

Lu Kang looked up, and Wesley was walking towards the two of them.

"Morus, Lu Kang, long time no see." Wesley showed a haggard smile on his face, "Since I came back from the hinterland of Ensk, I have been busy with Luna's funeral and sorting out her belongings, so I don't have time to have a good time with Lu Kang." You guys meet once."

"We understand, well, you are sad and obedient." Lu Kang coughed dryly and said dryly.

"Ah, by the way, I heard that you encountered a group of snakes at night?" Wesley mentioned.

Lu Kang paused, twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Yeah, I'm so unlucky, Molus said that I attracted so many snakes because of the snake-attracting incense on my body, I must have accidentally rubbed it somewhere in the jungle. Up."

"Snake Snake Fragrance, that thing is rare, and it's really unlucky to rub it in the jungle. Fortunately, you came back safely." Wesley smiled faintly.

"I think so too. I heard from Molus that this thing is only available to the Kuluo people in the south. I didn't expect it to be rubbed against me." Lu Kang scratched his hair with a smirk.

"Be careful next time." Molus looked at Lu Kang helplessly, reached out and rubbed Lu Kang's head twice, looked at Wesley, interrupted the rhythm of the other party's questioning, and said, "Wesley, Lu Kang and I are leaving first, you still have a lot of things to do here, so we won't bother you."

Wesley laughed dryly. He didn't expect Maurus to end the topic like this. He nodded with embarrassment, and could only follow Maurus's words, "We will meet again when we have time later. I'm sorry that we can't entertain you now." .”

"It's okay." Lu Kang waved his hand, followed Molus and turned around and strode away.

Wesley watched the backs of Molus and Lu Kang leaving, and gradually clenched his fists.

Lu Kang glanced back from the corner of his eye and asked, "Did Date tell us about our encounter with the snakes?"

"No, Snake Fragrance appeared so strange that day, everyone knew in their hearts that this matter was unusual, and they would not act rashly. Besides, Yida is not such a talkative person, let alone Mangmo." Morus shook his head, seeing Yida and Mangmo, who happened to be walking towards each other, said, "You can ask them."

"Hey, we meet again." Ida walked over with her injured leg leaning on two wooden branches. "Have you seen Wesley? He really has changed a lot."

Lu Kang nodded. Wesley's appearance was indeed very different from the first time he saw him. He had lost a lot of weight, the dark circles under his eyes were very obvious, and his beard had not been cleaned. Depressed as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.

"Has anyone else mentioned the fact that we encountered a herd of snakes?" Lu Kang asked straight to the point.

"Huh? No. What's the matter? What's the progress?" Ida asked curiously.

Lu Kang smiled, "Probably a little."

Mangmo raised his eyebrows, looked at Maurus, and asked aloud, "Wesley?"

Morus nodded.

Lu Kang was taken aback by Reckless's sharpness for a moment, but Ida quickly realized and said, "Just now we saw Wesley chatting with you."

Lu Kang nodded knowingly. So that was the case. He glanced at Maurus and saw the hidden affirmation in Maurus' eyes, then briefly explained the content of the previous conversation with Wesley.

"Wesley just exposed himself like this, he doesn't look like a thoughtful hunter." Mang Mo said with a frown after listening.

Molus nodded in agreement, "Indeed, maybe he doesn't have enough time."

"What time?" Lu Kang asked suspiciously.

"Wait a little longer, maybe we will find out soon." Maurus said, like playing a riddle.

A gleam of light flashed in Mangmo's eyes, he looked at Maurus, the two equally excellent men glanced at each other, they knew in their hearts that the other person was thinking the same thing as he was thinking, Mangmo had the bottom line in his heart, he Holding Ida by the arm, he said to Molus, "In this case, let's go back first, and be careful yourself."

"Eh?" Ida hadn't reacted yet, and was turned away by Mangmo. He asked his subordinate curiously, "What's the matter? What kind of charades are you and Molus playing?"

"This winter is Tu Xia Dong, and the five-year grand ceremony is coming soon." Mang Mo reminded.

Tuxiadong is one of the chronological sayings in Dals here. There is a reincarnation every five years. When it is Tuxiadong's turn, one week before the official winter, as predicted by the high priest, the five tribes in the Ensk Forest will all Gather from all directions to conduct a grand barter-for-things transaction.

This is an excellent opportunity to communicate with the other four tribes and pass on the culture of each tribe.

Moreover, the transactions between the major tribes are all carried out in private, completely out of the control of the patriarch, and there is no need for any reporting. No matter what is bought or sold, it is legal.Therefore, some people will take this opportunity to conduct some informal transactions. This situation is not common, but it does exist.

Because clansmen are not allowed to kill each other in the tribe, once they are discovered, they will be directly sentenced to death by the clan leader, so sometimes, when a person wants to buy a murderer, he will choose to do it in the big market in summer and winter. , the buyer clearly marked the price, and the seller came to search for suitable candidates.

If Wesley really wanted to put them to death, they would be able to see it at the big market in a few days.

"But why is he so unstoppable? He obviously can't wait until he buys it... Now that it has aroused our attention and vigilance, isn't it increasing the difficulty instead?" After listening to Molus' explanation, Lu Kang said, On the contrary, he was even more puzzled.

"He needs to confirm something." Morus twitched his lips.

"Are you sure about what?" Lu Kang was stunned for a moment, was he sure that the matter of Yin Snake Incense had been discovered?But didn't Morus say that the other party must understand that he would notice it?Besides this, what else can I ask?

"He was going to ask, but I interrupted." Morus smiled, seeing Lu Kang's confusion, he shook his head slightly, and said, "You underestimate yourself, what you showed in the hinterland Your ability is enough for Wesley to value. What he wants to know is how you persevered during the period from when you attracted the snakes to when Mang Mo and I came to meet you. He wants to use this to evaluate your strength. ability, find a sufficiently sharp 'weapon'."

Lu Kang felt chills in his heart. He never thought that he would attract hatred from others. He had no conflict of interest with Wesley, right?

"why?"

"It's not clear yet, maybe I can ask Wesley later." Molus narrowed his eyes slightly, and he would not let anyone peek at the future high priest of the Dals tribe.
