They had traveled all the way from the lower reaches of the river to the Yanjiao tribe. They had paid a hefty price in order to reach the Yanjiao tribe. It seemed like their target was the Yanjiao tribe.
Although Gui He did not fully understand what those people were talking about, he was able to make some guesses and make some guesses.
Those people didn't know who they were looking for. They just followed the Flaming River upstream until they couldn't go any further. That was when they reached their destination.
They couldn't continue because the stone bridge was blocking their way across the Flaming River. Unless they carried the wooden raft over the bridge or brought it ashore and went around it, they would be stuck there forever. After all, the man-made river hadn't been opened yet so they could only use this method at the moment.
Those people obviously thought that they had reached their destination.
"I just don't know what their ultimate goal is." Guigou couldn't figure it out.
Although these people were on guard, they did not show any malice towards the Flaming Horns. According to the warriors who were guarding the stone bridge and brought them back, these people were cheering. It was obvious that they were very happy at the time. They were holding their breaths and finally relaxed. That was why so many of them fainted.
"They were very humble. When they first saw us, they even bowed respectfully." Gui He was also surprised at the time. After all, although the Flaming Horn tribe had made a name for themselves in this area, and some of the smaller tribes would flatter them, Gui He could see that these people's attitudes were different. If he really had to say, these people's eyes were sincere, and there was no flattery at all.
Because they didn't show any greed or hostility, Guigou temporarily settled them down. Otherwise, if Guigou felt that something was wrong, he would have ordered his men to slaughter these people and feed them to the fishes in the Flaming River.
"The reason should be in that big shell," Shao Xuan said.
"Yes, but we have to wait until those people wake up. Otherwise, they wouldn't open that big shell. There must be someone very important to them inside. "
"Find out their purpose. Since they came from the seaside, we can learn about the situation along the way from them. We still don't know anything about the situation downstream," Shao Xuan said.
Guigou smiled. "Indeed."
Yanjiao could indeed use force to find out what was inside the big shell. They could even kill him and take the treasure, but there was no need for that.
Yanjiao really didn't care about those gems and shells.
The Yanjiao people had never shown much interest in gemstones and shells. In the beginning, Zheng Luo and the others who came from the other side of the sea might have been envious, but now they were used to it. They wouldn't be affected by the benefits in front of them. Otherwise, what would they do in the future?
Two days later.
The people who were taken care of by Yanjiao finally recovered. Those who were in a coma also woke up one after another in the past two days. Those who had been holding on saw that their companions had woken up and laid down next to them. No matter what time it was, there were at least ten people guarding the big shell, not allowing anyone to get close.
However, in the past two days, the leader of these people finally stood up.
The first person was severely injured and unconscious for a day. When he woke up, he was in a hurry to find the chief and shamaness.
Right now, that person was speaking in a hurry. He probably didn't know how to express himself. Sometimes, when he was anxious, his words became even more confusing.
However, compared to the first person, this person's explanation wasn't very clear, but it was more or less understandable.
His name was He Bian, the chief of the Di Mountain tribe. Their tribe was in trouble, so he followed the shamaness' instructions and led his people upstream.
"We just have to follow this river until we can't go any further. Then we'll reach our destination. This is what the shamaness told us. Is your tribe really the only one around here? "He Bian asked.
"We're not the only tribe around here. However, the largest tribe around here is Yanjiao," Guigou said. "The stone bridge you saw was built by our tribe."
Although it was built by the king stoneworm, it was still their tribe's doing. This wasn't completely wrong. Guigou didn't feel pressured when he said this.
Hearing this, He Bian was instantly filled with respect. Although he was unconscious for a day, he still remembered what he saw before he fainted. He saw all the houses on the mountain. It was completely different from their tribe.
Especially the stone bridge that spanned across the river. He couldn't imagine how such a sturdy stone bridge was built. Therefore, in his heart, the Flaming Horn tribe's status instantly rose by a few levels. Their image became more and more majestic. Most importantly, the stronger the Flaming Horn tribe was, the more excited he was. This meant that they might be able to find a way to save their tribe from the Flaming Horn tribe.
"Please save the Di Mountain tribe. We can give you everything we have, even our lives! We only ask that you save our tribe! "After saying this, He Bian bowed deeply to Guigou.
Guigou was also confused. This was the first time a chief of a tribe had bowed so deeply to him. Also, he only heard the people of the Di Mountain tribe say that they wanted Yanjiao to save them. How? He didn't even know the reason. He Bian said a lot, but he didn't understand a single word. He only knew that it wasn't because of foreign enemies.
Guigou's face was expressionless. He looked at the people who kept saying, "Save our tribe!" and bowed to him. He turned to Shao Xuan and said, "Come here."
Shao Xuan looked at the man who was so emotional that he almost burst into tears. "Get up first, let's talk."
He Bian raised his head and saw that Guigou had already moved to the side. The person closest to him was a young-looking person. He didn't understand what Yanjiao was doing.
"You are?" He Bian asked.
"Yanjiao's Great Elder, Shao Xuan."
He Bian looked at Shao Xuan. He was still confused. "What's a Great Elder?"
"Ahem, a Great Elder is someone with the same status as the chief and shaman. In Yanjiao, a Great Elder's status is even more special," Guigou explained. He didn't expect this tribe to not know what an "Elder" was. It was just like how Yanjiao was isolated. However, the Di Mountain tribe wasn't isolated. It was just that they didn't want to communicate with the outside world.
He Bian reacted and was about to bow again when Shao Xuan quickly said, "Can you draw the Di Mountain tribe's totem?"
Drawing a totem could give one a basic understanding of a tribe. The people of each tribe could draw other totems, but they definitely knew how to draw their own totems. Also, totems weren't a secret. It was something that could be made public. A big tribe like Yanjiao was more than happy to let more people know about their own totems.
That was why He Bian wasn't dissatisfied with Shao Xuan's request. After Shao Xuan took out a brush, paint, and cloth, He Bian started drawing.
He Bian wasn't used to using a brush and cloth, but he was very familiar with drawing totems. In just a few seconds, the Di Mountain tribe's totem was drawn on the grayish-yellow linen cloth. Even though he wasn't used to drawing and the lines weren't even, it didn't stop Shao Xuan from seeing the totem clearly.
When He Bian started drawing, Shao Xuan thought that He Bian was drawing a weird character with a pair of spectacles. However, very quickly, he added some patterns that looked like fish fins and scales around the character. There was even a fish tail on one side.
It was obvious that the tribes near the river or the sea liked to use these totems.
It was related to fish. He couldn't tell anything else for now.
After he finished drawing the totem, He Bian looked at Shao Xuan eagerly, waiting for Shao Xuan to continue.
"The person you brought here, the one in the shell, should be sealed by your shaman. Can we take a look?" Shao Xuan asked again.
Shao Xuan had seen the shell before. He didn't get close to it, but he could feel the shaman's power on the shell. If a shaman sealed it personally, then it must be very important.
This time, He Bian didn't nod immediately. Instead, he frowned and thought for a while. During that time, he looked at Shao Xuan several times. In the end, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
The guards in the room where the shell was kept didn't stop them when they saw that it was He Bian who brought them in. However, their expressions were nervous, sad, and emotional.
It was very strange.
Shao Xuan's eyes quickly scanned the faces of the guards before he looked at the shell.
He Bian took a deep breath and walked to the shell that was tightly shut. He gently knocked on the shell and said carefully, "Dian Dian! Dian Dian, are you awake? "
In the next moment, dark blue patterns appeared on the shell where the shell was tightly shut. These patterns were very similar to the Di Mountain tribe's totem that He Bian had drawn before. The only difference was that He Bian's drawing was more funny. On the other hand, the totem on the shell, where the character with a pair of spectacles was supposed to be, gave Shao Xuan an inexplicable chill and pressure.
It wasn't directed at Shao Xuan. It was the aura of the totem itself.
The Di Mountain tribe wasn't as harmless as they looked.
