At first, these Eagle Tribesmen had some reservations about Luo Zheng.
Although Luo Zheng had rescued the King Eagle, they had only treated Luo Zheng as a guest and had not fully accepted Luo Zheng.
But now, Luo Zheng had used pills to regenerate the King Eagle's broken wings, which had a completely different meaning.
The Great Tribal Chief's heart was also burning.
A single pill was enough to save a crippled King Eagle. He was calculating how many of those miraculous pills Luo Zheng had.
He was not clear about Luo Zheng's origins, but this was not important. If the price was low enough, he even had the intention of snatching those pills!
Luo Zheng was well aware of the Great Tribal Chief's calculations.
Luo Zheng still had seven or eight Five Revolutions Golden Pills used for healing. If the Eagle Tribesmen really had the intention of snatching them, the price they would have to pay would definitely exceed their gains.
As he continued to ask the Great Tribal Chief, the outline of this world became clearer and clearer in Luo Zheng's mind.
There were three major races in this world.
The Eagle Tribe was one of them, the Golden Peng Luo Zheng had seen before was the Golden Peng Tribe, and the other major race was the Black Bird Tribe.
These three races all relied on domesticated birds to survive in this world, and the three races all lived around that vast desert.
"Is the reason for this situation because of those insects?" Luo Zheng asked.
The Great Tribal Chief nodded, "Yes, our Eagles feed on Heavenly Wheel Insects, and only those Eagles that eat Heavenly Wheel Insects can thrive!"
'So those strange insects are called Heavenly Wheel Insects', Luo Zheng thought silently.
Every once in a while, the Eagle Tribe would take their Eagles to the desert to herd them and let them prey on those Heavenly Wheel Insects. Luo Zheng just so happened to run into the Eagle Tribe's Eagle Herders in the desert …
The Golden Peng Tribe's goal was the same, to hunt Heavenly Wheel Insects. However, the three major races in this world had been fighting with each other for countless years, so when the Golden Peng Tribe saw the Eagles, they would also attack and kill them.
That desert was the center of this world. The Sword Race's Paragon had also died in that desert, and had been dead for countless years.
Thinking of this, Luo Zheng asked, "Are there any special places in this world? In other words, has anyone seen something similar to the Imperial Jade Seal? "
Luo Zheng didn't know how to control the Imperial Jade Seal. He didn't even know what was going on in this world. He could only search for clues bit by bit …
"Imperial jade seal? What's that?" The Great Tribal Chief asked in confusion.
Hearing this, Luo Zheng smiled. There was no such thing as an imperial jade seal in this race.
Therefore, Luo Zheng casually broke off a table leg and used his fingers as a knife to carve it.
As his fingers danced, countless wood shavings bloomed, and a small snake was slowly carved out. Below the small snake was a square jade seal.
When Mu Ning saw this scene, her face was full of doubt. She couldn't understand the conversation between Luo Zheng and these cloaked people. She also didn't know what Luo Zheng wanted to do.
But as the piece of wood continued to take shape, Mu Ning's eyes flickered. "So it's the Imperial Jade Seal. He also wants to find a way to control this world …"
Although Mu Ning didn't know what was going on in this world, the Paragons and True Gods who entered this world had a rough inference. These inferences happened to coincide. This world was most likely a space-time constructed by the Imperial Jade Seal. The method to control the Imperial Jade Seal had to be found inside.
After Luo Zheng finished carving, he gently let out a breath. Then, he put the carved Imperial Jade Seal on his table, stared at the Great Tribal Chief, and asked, "It's this thing."
The Imperial Jade Seal that Luo Zheng had carved by hand wasn't lifelike, but its appearance wasn't far from the mark.
When the Great Tribal Chief saw the wooden sculpture on Luo Zheng's table, his pupils suddenly shrank. The Eagle Clansmen present also looked at the wooden sculpture with dignified gazes and whispered to each other.
These people's reactions made Luo Zheng somewhat happy. It seemed that he had asked the right question.
Although Mu Ning couldn't understand these people's words, she could read the expressions of these cloaked people. These people clearly recognized this wooden sculpture!
The Great Tribal Chief pondered for a moment before saying, "I recognize this snake."
"Where?" Luo Zheng's eyebrows suddenly rose.
But at this time, the Great Tribal Chief revealed a hesitant expression. After thinking it over, he gently sighed and said, "This is the Heavenly Wheel King Snake of the Heavenly Wheel Temple. In the desert, we have to worship the Heavenly Wheel King Snake every once in a while. We send young boys and girls to the temple to pray that it won't punish us …"
Speaking of this, the other people's faces revealed sadness.
Worship was a very solemn thing for a race. At the same time, they were willing to do it.
But for the Eagle Clan, they weren't willing. In this world, the Peng Clan and the Profound Bird Clan had the same feeling …
In the depths of the desert, there was a temple. The Heavenly Wheel King Snake controlled all the Heavenly Wheel Insects in the desert. The three clans would send young boys and girls to the temple every once in a while.
The fate of these young boys and girls was self-evident. For countless years, not a single young boy or girl had left the Heavenly Wheel Temple alive.
None of the clans were willing to send their descendants in, but the three clans would do their best to send in boys and girls. If the Golden Roc Clan sent in ten boys and girls, the Eagle Clan would send in a few more.
If a race didn't send enough young boys and girls, or sent too little, the Heavenly Wheel King Snake would punish them …
There were countless huge Heavenly Wheel Insects in the sea of insects. If over a hundred of them were released, the Eagle Stronghold would be destroyed in the blink of an eye! As long as the Heavenly Wheel King Snake was willing, it could release all the Heavenly Wheel Insects in the sea of insects and easily destroy the world.
"So that's how it is …" Luo Zheng nodded slightly.
The humans of this world relied on the Golden Peng Clan, the Eagle Clan, and the Profound Bird Clan to hunt and survive. The birds hunted the Heavenly Wheel Insects to grow, but the humans had to offer their children to the Heavenly Wheel King Snake. Otherwise, the humans would be destroyed, forming a cycle. In other words, the humans of this world lived to provide for the Heavenly Wheel King Snake!
Then this Heavenly Wheel King Snake was the key to controlling the Imperial Jade Seal.
"How often do you worship?" Luo Zheng asked again.
"Not at a fixed time … Sometimes once half a year, sometimes once a month," the Great Tribal Chief said with a sad expression.
At the same time, the other people in the temple fell silent. Some of the Eagle Clan members also seemed very sad.
Over the years, many of their children had been sent to the temple. They were all their own flesh and blood. Luo Zheng's question reminded them of the sad past.
"I'm sorry," Luo Zheng said in a low voice.
The Great Tribal Chief sighed. "After so many years, we have become accustomed to it," he said, pointing to the carving on Luo Zheng's table. "The Heavenly Wheel King Snake is a god that cannot be disobeyed. Worshipping it is something we must do to survive! My poor Shasha, in half a month, she will also … "
Halfway through his words, the Great Tribal Chief's face showed a trace of sadness. His daughter had also been chosen as a sacrifice.
The girl named Shasha was only six years old and was not fully sensible. She did not understand what the adults were talking about. She sat next to the Great Tribal Chief, quietly and attentively eating her dinner.
Hearing her father mention her name, Shasha smiled and cast a bright smile at him.
"In half a month, we will worship it?" Luo Zheng's eyes showed surprise.
The Great Tribal Chief nodded. "Yes."
"Can I participate?" Luo Zheng's eyes flashed.
The Great Tribal Chief stared at Luo Zheng in surprise, a trace of vigilance appearing on his face.
Although Luo Zheng had helped them cure a King Eagle, it did not mean that the Eagle Clan had complete trust in Luo Zheng. After all, they did not know Luo Zheng's origins, including the woman beside Luo Zheng. Whether it was her dress or aura, she did not seem to belong to this world. As for where she came from, these people could not guess.
The narrow world created a narrow worldview. Whether it was the Eagle Clan or the Peng Clan, they did not care about the truth of this world. They only wanted their clansmen to be able to pass it down from generation to generation.
