A huge circular plaza appeared in front of Tang Zheng. This plaza was the size of two football fields, the ground of the plaza was extremely flat, and the ground was carved with complicated patterns. The most eye-catching thing was the four huge stone statues around the plaza — —
The stone statues were about ten feet tall and bathed in the sunlight, emitting a mysterious aura. These stone statues were lifelike, no different from ordinary people.
Looking closely, it was as if the stone statues were also looking at him. A soul-stirring power reached straight into his heart, causing him to feel deep veneration.
Seeing Tang Zheng staring straight at the stone statue, Ah Yuan said proudly, "This is the guardian of my clan, isn't it spectacular?"
Tang Zheng swallowed his saliva. To tell the truth, he had never seen such a tall and spectacular stone statue with his own eyes before. He sincerely said, "Spectacular!"
"The Guardian God has protected my clan for countless years. Even the elders don't know when they appeared." Ah Yuan sighed.
"What clan are you from?" Tang Zheng realized that the other party's clothes were still different from his. They were basically coarse linen clothes, which were already very rare. Furthermore, they all had long hair, just like ancient people.
Ancient people?
Tang Zheng's heart skipped a beat, he raised his eyes and looked into the distance, the plaza was surrounded by scattered houses, and outside was a forest that covered the sky and covered the sun.
Tang Zheng looked into the distance from the top of the Fairy Peak and discovered that there were vast mountains that stretched to the end of his line of sight. Although they were not as high as the Fairy Peak, they occupied an extremely large area, giving people a strong visual impact.
Tang Zheng stood on the flat ground, unable to see what was behind the forest that covered the sky, but he also felt that it was an endless forest. In other words, he was currently in the vast forest that he had seen before.
Wasn't it said that this was a forbidden zone of death, filled with miasma and swamps that were not suitable for human survival? How could there be humans?
His heart was in turmoil. These people were dressed strangely. Could it be that they were from some tribe that lived in seclusion here?
Tang Zheng could not make up his mind. If they were really an ancient tribe that lived in seclusion here, how could they avoid the detection of such high-tech satellites with such advanced technology?
After all, with such a huge square and these mysterious stone statues standing in broad daylight, the low-Earth orbit satellites that were tens of thousands of meters above the ground would definitely notice them.
Hearing his question, Ah Yuan glanced at him warily and said, "You want to get information from me? No way. "
Ah Yuan's progress was like flying. Holding the wooden bed, he quickly arrived at a house at the edge of the plaza. This house was obviously much better than the house Tang Zheng lived in.
From afar, Tang Zheng saw a familiar figure sitting in front of the house. His eyes were blank, and he was holding his chin with one hand. He was staring at the square in a daze.
"Mu Hongyan." Tang Zheng recognized her at a glance. She was safe and sound under the protection of Tang Zheng's body.
Mu Hongyan also saw Tang Zheng on the wooden bed. With a whoosh, she jumped up and quickly walked up to him. She cried out in surprise, "Tang Zheng, are you okay?"
"He won't die for the time being." Tang Zheng forced out a smile, but it affected his muscles. A heart-wrenching pain assaulted him, causing his smile to be uglier than crying.
Mu Hongyan patted her chest and said with lingering fear, "I thought something bad had happened to you. These people never told me about you."
While they were talking, Tang Zheng had already been put down. Mu Hongyan finally saw his appearance clearly. He was actually tied up. Immediately, she raised her eyebrows and stared at Ah Yuan. "What are you doing? Why are you tying him up?"
Ah Yuan said coldly, "Of course it's to prevent him from escaping."
"We are free. If we want to leave, we can leave. What right do you have to stop us?" Mu Hongyan roared angrily, like an angry lioness.
Ah Yuan remained unmoved and said, "He is my captive. Before he tells the truth, I will never let him escape."
"Captive? You put us under house arrest. This is against the law. "Mu Hongyan complained.
"Against the law?" Ah Yuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "Our elders are the law here. I am following the elders' orders, how could I break the law?"
Tang Zheng knew that talking to this kid was nonsense, so he hurriedly stopped Mu Hongyan and said, "Do you still remember what happened to us?"
Mu Hongyan shook her head blankly, "I only remember that the two of us fell off the cliff together, and when we woke up, we were already here. Fortunately, you used your body to save me, and I am safe and sound. We have been here for two days, and I have been asking for your news, but they did not tell me at all."
As she spoke, she angrily glared at Ah Yuan, but Ah Yuan acted as if he did not see it. He only pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation between the two, as if he wanted to discover some secret from the conversation.
"Two days, you mean we've been here for two days?" Tang Zheng was shocked. Could it be that he had been unconscious for two days?
Mu Hongyan said with a sad expression, "Yes, it's been two days. Our family must be worried to death about us. We have to hurry back."
Tang Zheng obviously knew that his family members were burning with anxiety. It was very likely that they all thought that he had fallen off the cliff and died. However, the key point was that it was not easy to leave this place. Furthermore, he was injured and could not move.
"Don't be impatient. We will definitely go back. I promise you." Tang Zheng said firmly.
Mu Hongyan looked into his eyes and her heart softened. Tang Zheng had fallen off the cliff in order to save her, and if it wasn't for protecting her, he wouldn't have been injured to such an extent.
All these years, no one had ever dared to give up their lives for her. Her heart seemed to be melting.
Hearing Tang Zheng's promise, she did not doubt it. Instead, she believed it without hesitation. She nodded and said, "I believe you. We will definitely leave this place."
Ah Yuan scoffed and sneered disdainfully, "Without the help of our clansmen, even if your body recovers, it would be impossible for you to leave this Ten Thousand Huge Mountains."
Their expressions couldn't help but darken.
"Alright, you've seen your friend. Let's go back." Ah Yuan said.
Mu Hongyan's expression suddenly changed. She grabbed onto the wooden bed tightly and shouted, "No, he's injured. I want to take care of him. You can't take him away."
These two days were definitely torture for Mu Hongyan. She didn't know anyone and everyone looked at her with vigilance. Now that she finally saw Tang Zheng, how could she let him leave her.
Unknowingly, Tang Zheng was able to stabilize her mind and give her peace of mind. She had already treated Tang Zheng as her pillar of support.
Ah Yuan frowned and said unhappily, "You've already seen each other. If you still want to stay together, there's no way!" As he spoke, he was about to gather the wooden bed together.
"No, he's already injured to such an extent. He can't be left unattended." Mu Hongyan desperately grabbed onto the wooden bed and refused to let go.
Ah Yuan glared angrily. Why were these two so troublesome? He was not a person who would take pity on the fairer sex. He directly raised his hand and Mu Hongyan fell into the air.
Seeing this, Tang Zheng hurriedly stopped him and said, "Stop, let us stay together. Otherwise, you won't be able to get my answer."
"You dare to threaten me?" Ah Yuan flew into a rage. His other hand clenched into a fist, as if he could smash Tang Zheng's head at any moment.
However, Tang Zheng acted as if he did not see it. He stared straight at Ah Yuan and did not back down: "I am threatening you, so what can you do?"
"Do you believe that I won't blow your head off with one punch?"
"Haha, alright, then come. Since I've already become like this, I don't care if I take another punch." Tang Zheng laughed.
Ah Yuan was startled. This person was really not afraid of death. Of course, he did not dare to kill Tang Zheng. Otherwise, the elder would skin him alive.
"If you can't make the decision, you can ask your elder." Tang Zheng said.
"Just you wait, I will never let you succeed." Ah Yuan angrily put down the wooden bed. Mu Hongyan landed on the ground again. Her legs went soft as she laid on the bed, exhaling like an orchid.
Ah Yuan angrily left and went to ask for instructions from the elder. Tang Zheng and Mu Hongyan could finally be alone. He hurriedly said in a low voice, "Have you found any useful information in the past two days?"
Mu Hongyan took a deep breath and said, "In the past two days, I have been restricted from moving too far, but I have also seen some things. This is obviously an ancient tribe that lives in seclusion in the Ten Thousand Mountains. It was hard to imagine that there was such an ancient tribe living in the Death Forbidden Zone in everyone's eyes. They hunt for a living. Every day, I can see people carrying the corpses of ferocious beasts back. The people of this tribe seem to be extremely strong, and there are hundreds of them. "
"Then is there any way to leave this place?"
Mu Hongyan shook her head, "There are people guarding every exit, and the houses are surrounded by high fences, so there is no way to escape. Just like what that person said earlier, this is the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and other than them, it would be very difficult for outsiders to leave."
As she spoke, her expression couldn't help but darken. She originally thought that she would die without a doubt, but she didn't expect to be saved. However, just as she escaped from the gates of hell, she entered the tiger's den and fell into the hands of this mysterious tribe who she didn't know if they were enemies or friends.
"Tang Zheng, let me see if your injuries are serious. Are they serious?" Mu Hongyan asked worriedly.
Tang Zheng laughed bitterly: "I can still hold on for a few days with this injury, but I'm afraid it's hard to say if I can recover in the end. I don't even know how many bones I have broken."
Mu Hongyan's eyes reddened and she was about to cry. She was originally a strong woman, but at this moment, she was especially sensitive. She said shamefully: "Tang Zheng, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If you didn't save me, you wouldn't have become like this."
Tang Zheng squeezed out a smile and said: "Don't say this, let's think about how to leave this place."
Mu Hongyan wiped the corner of her eyes and said: "First of all, we should think of a way to cure your injuries."
Tang Zheng secretly sighed. He didn't even have the most basic medicine, so treating his injuries was easier said than done. However, if he didn't treat his injuries, they wouldn't be able to leave.
Dong dong dong!
A burst of hurried footsteps could be heard. Ah Yuan returned with an unfriendly expression. Tang Zheng's heart moved, and said: "Elder, have you agreed?"
Ah Yuan coldly snorted: "I'm warning you, don't have any bad ideas. Hurry up and tell the truth, otherwise I won't let you off." As he said that, he broke the rope on Tang Zheng's body and lifted him up with one hand. He entered the house and placed him on Mu Hongyan's bed. Then, he picked up the wooden bed outside the house and left unwillingly.
Tang Zheng heaved a sigh of relief. Staying with Mu Hongyan would at least make it easier to communicate and understand everything here.
Mu Hongyan was also overjoyed.
Before Tang Zheng could be happy, he felt a strong urge to urinate in his lower abdomen. He had been unconscious for two days, and now he wanted to pee.
