The moment he finished his words, the team of cavalries had already arrived in front of the fleet. However, they didn't go too far; instead, they stopped over 10 m away from the fleet. Zhang Tie glanced at the others in the fleet and found that they didn't show any fear or hatred; instead, they just looked a bit complex. Given this point, Zhang Tie knew that the relationship between the grey eagle tribe and these people was not tense.
The old man on O'Laura's side even faintly patted his chest towards a guy in the team of cavalries.
The mounts of most of the cavalries were similar to the iron-horn beasts of the Norman Empire, which were very similar to rhinoceroses. Only the mount of a man in the middle of the team was particularly fierce and tall. It was an animal higher than 2 m, with a pair of 3 cm long sharp sword-like tusks sticking out of its mouth. Its silver-grey fur had a bizarre metallic texture, and its pair of golden eyes were very oppressive. Wherever this animal was, all the other iron-horn beasts would keep a distance from it.
Sitting on this ferocious mount was a tall man in his late twenties. That man looked arrogant at this moment. It seemed that he was not weak.
What made Zhang Tie interested was that most of these cavalries were carrying spear sacks on their mounts, which contained rows of javelins. When in Kurgan village, Zhang Tie had known that many fighters in Ice and Snow Wilderness used javelins as throwing weapons. However, it was his first time to see so many people carrying so many javelins at the same time. Therefore, Zhang Tie felt it was a bit fresh.
Because he was just a poor captive, Zhang Tie didn't say anything; instead, he just stood behind the crowd and waited for what they were going to do.
"Nurdo, what are you doing in our grey eagle tribe?" O'Laura watched those cavalries rushing towards them and asked impolitely.
"I came to the grey eagle tribe to negotiate with you!" Nurdo said casually.
"What is there to discuss between us?"
"Ha... ha..."
"It's said that those pioneers have found the remains of a city before the Catastrophe in the Haidela Glacier Crack, and there might be pieces of the Star of God there. Now, all the pioneers and powerhouses are coming to the Haidela Glacier Crack from all directions, preparing to make a fortune. My dear cousin, don't you have any idea about the fortune in front of your home?"
"I'm clear about the power of the grey eagle tribe. We only do what we can. If you want cannon fodder, you're looking for the wrong person!" O'Laura replied with a cold harrumph.
"Don't be so absolute, O'Laura..." The man slightly straightened up his body as he leaned forward and looked down at O'Laura, "Of course, we are not powerful enough to compete for the pieces of star of god. We could not intervene in such a thing involving swordsman-level powerhouses. However, you know, the items in the relics might be out of your imagination. Now that the relics were discovered in Ice and Snow Wilderness, it's not reasonable for those foreign pioneers to take all the advantages. Besides your grey eagle tribe, all the tribes in the south have already started to organize people to take a look down there. I especially come here to remind you for the sake of your relative in case you miss the chance!"
After hearing his words, O'Laura became slightly silent...
Listening to them on one side, Zhang Tie was also amazed inside. He had not imagined that the discovery of relics in the Haidela Glacier Crack could cause such a great disturbance that even the tribes here couldn't stand it anymore. Relics were all antiques buried underground; especially relics before the Catastrophe, which were less than 1,000 years ago. In many cases, besides some broken copper and iron, there was nothing valuable in the so-called relics before the Catastrophe.
"O'Laura, if you want to join us, take your bear-killing fighters to the estuary of Fitjar 2 days later. The grey eagle tribe is an eagle-level tribe in the south of the Wilderness. Don't let the grey eagle tribe be degraded in your hand. If it becomes a grey rat tribe, it would be bad, hahahaha..." With arrogant laughter, Nurdo and his team of cavalries left as fast as the wind.
After standing there quietly for a few seconds, O'Laura waved her hand, "Back to the tribe..."
...
It was less than 2 km from here to the grey eagle tribe. After a short while, the fleet had arrived outside the tribe.
This tribe was much larger than Kurgan village. However, the buildings inside the tribe were as same as those in Kurgan village. They were all low cabins. There were few tall buildings and stone buildings. According to the number and density of buildings, Zhang Tie estimated that the population of this tribe was about 30,000-50,000.
Seeing the fleet coming back, many kids ran out of the tribe and chased after the fleet out of excitement.
"There's salt, I see salt!"
"Candies, those boxes are filled with candies!"
The children shouted excitedly, especially after a few people in the caravan sprinkled two handfuls of candy at them, the children shouted even more cheerfully.
O'Laura was like a star at this moment. Walking in front of the fleet, she accepted the cheers of others and waved her arms towards the surrounding people every now and then.
Following the fleet, Zhang Tie observed the environment here. Many people in this tribe were raising livestock in their courtyards, most of which were elks, sheep and some other animals.
There were some simple processing workshops in the tribe, of course, the most eye-catching one was the one for processing seabuckthorn wine. Zhang Tie could smell the smell of seabuckthorn wine from far away. The ironware processing workshop was covered with thick smoke while clanking sounds drifted from inside. Some semi-finished sabers, swords, javelins and some daily necessities were hung on the wall outside the ironware workshop.
In a roadside courtyard, Zhang Tie saw many women tanning hides. The tanned hides were piled up in bundles as high as an adult. At the sight of them, Zhang Tie almost sprung up from the ground. Those hides were huge wolves, which were one size larger than common wolves. They were huge wolves in the wilderness with greyish white fur.
If not being surrounded by so many people, Zhang Tie almost burst out into laughter, 'What does the leather of these huge wolves mean? This meant that he could hunt giant wolves in the wilderness not far away from this tribe. With these giant wolves, he would be able to get his giant wolf seven-strength fruits.
"It's said that there's an animal tide here. Are there many huge wolves here?" Zhang Tie asked Setton casually. "Hmm, there are many of them.
"Hmm, a lot. But we've long been used to it. It's very safe in the tribe. The priests in the tribe have declared the bloody territory in the surrounding land. Therefore, the huge wolves would not break into the territory of the tribe. As the grey eagle tribe has lived here for hundreds of years, they have long known how to deal with these beasts. Every few years, the huge wolf tide would break out here, which could bring us some extra income. In the daytime, the fighters in the tribe would take their young men to hunt huge wolves in the wilderness. They could make some money and train themselves!" Setton had not thought about the meaning of Zhang Tie's question at all. Therefore, he directly told Zhang Tie everything that Zhang Tie wanted to know.
"Oh, according to the conversation between that man and O'Laura, O'Laura seems to have a high position in the grey eagle tribe."
"O'Laura's mother is the priest of the tribe. O'Laura's father is the clan elder. O'Laura is going to inherit the position of the clan elder. This tribe belongs to O'Laura. Do you think she has a high position here?" Setton asked in a muffled voice.
"Ah?" Zhang Tie was really shocked by this answer. He had not imagined that the woman in mask had such a high position. "If so, why would she be a bounty hunter? This profession is very dangerous. Would her parents see her at such a risk?"
"O'Laura's parents have passed away..." Setton lowered his voice at once. He threw a glance at Zhang Tie with vicissitudes and helplessness in his eyes, "People always have to do something that they don't like to do; especially those in special positions. Previously, when O'Laura's parents were still alive, O'Laura was just an innocent and beautiful girl. She didn't even kill a bug. When she was young, I gifted her a rabbit. Later on, the rabbit died. O'Laura cried for 2 days..."
In this age, Zhang Tie knew what problems a woman, the successor of the tribe who had lost her greatest reliance, would face. It was like a child who suddenly inherited a large amount of property. There would always be people with ulterior motives who would want to rob or forcibly occupy the child's property. Zhang Tie seemed to have met a relative with ulterior motives just now, but he didn't know what else would happen besides this.
All of a sudden, Zhang Tie started to sympathize with O'Laura.
"What about you? What's your role here?"
"I'm the head of bodyguards of the clan head of grey eagle tribe!" Setton finally revealed his real identity. Zhang Tie finally understood why Setton was so intense when he subdued O'Laura.
"Do you really want O'Laura to be the clan head of the tribe?"
"This is the meaning of my life. If not, I should have died 20 years ago!" Setton replied dejectedly.
Zhang Tie rolled his eyes, "If so, perhaps we should have a talk!"
"Don't play any tricks!" Setton warned Zhang Tie in a low voice after looking around.
"Actually, you and O'Laura both know that I'm not that wicked!" Zhang Tie also lowered his voice, "If not because of the misunderstanding, my ability would not pose any threat to you. Since the beginning, I don't mean any harm to you. Conversely, I'm very willing to help my friends. Of course, not in this status..." Zhang Tie said as he raised his hand and showed Setton the restraint collar on his wrist.
"I will tell O'Laura!" Setton replied in a low voice before ignoring Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie nodded. It was not the time to despair. He would like to have a try for any chance to change his current situation. What he said just now was not false. All in all, if the cooperation was beneficial to both parties, there was really no misunderstanding between him and that woman that could not be solved.
After walking hundreds of meters in the tribe, Zhang Tie caught sight of a lofty and magnificent building in the central square of the tribe. That building was built on a mound in the center of the tribe. It was the highest point in the tribe. Additionally, it was made of stone. Therefore, it looked a bit more magnificent. Of course, it was relative. If the same building appeared in Yiyang City or Stars Viewing City in Huaiyuan Prefecture, it would look like a rustic.
When the fleet was about to approach that place, three people walked out of that building at the same time. The one on the left was holding a strange cane with snow-white hair and beard. Although there was a distance between them, Zhang Tie felt familiar with him the moment he caught sight of him. Needless to say, Zhang Tie knew who he was — — Elder Merkel, the priest of the grey eagle tribe.
After throwing a glance at Zhang Tie, those bone-exploding needles in Zhang Tie's body moved a bit. At the same time, Zhang Tie felt a sharp pain in his body, which made Zhang Tie's heart pound.
There were two people on the side of Elder Merkel. Zhang Tie didn't know who they were. However, now that they could stand on the side of the tribal elder, they must be at least elders.
The caravan stopped right under the mound.
O'Laura walked straight towards the three people. After talking with them for a short while, they entered that building. Zhang Tie didn't know whether it was an illusion or not. When the one in the middle turned around, Zhang Tie felt that the one in the middle gazed at his face for a second.
Watching someone checking and moving the items on the vehicles, Setton led Zhang Tie away. After walking for a short while, the two people came to the front of a log cabin.
...
"Stay here for the time being. Don't run around. You could not bear the power of the bone-exploding needles. Don't make fun of your life! Someone will send you your dinner in a while! " After saying that, Setton told a person to guard outside the cabin before leaving.
After glancing at this crude cabin and that young man who was standing outside the door seriously, Zhang Tie didn't say anything. Instead, he sat down on the wooden bed with crossed legs and injected his spiritual energy into Castle of Black Iron in a split second.
"Heller, can you hear me?"
"Castle Lord, Heller is at your service!"
"Do you know what I want to ask?"
"As long as Castle Lord enters Castle of Black Iron, I will be able to remove the shackling collar in a split second. However, there might be a problem with the bone-exploding needles in your body..."
After hearing Heller's words, Zhang Tie became reassured and intense at the same time.
"What's wrong with the bone-exploding needles?"
"Castle Lord, you have to remove them by yourself. I can't do it for you!"
"By myself? How can I remove them by myself? "
"Haven't you tried it just now, Castle Lord?"
After thinking for a short while, Zhang Tie's heart suddenly raced, "You mean I could remove the bone-exploding needles by running my battle Qi?"
"Right, the so-called bone-exploding needles are a secret method of the priests in Ice and Snow Wilderness. What they implanted into your body is not a real needle-shaped metal object, but an energy body formed by the spiritual energy and the special battle qi that the priests have cultivated. Bone-exploding needles are designed to help you recover your innermost being and allow you to read Li Jun's mind frequently. Bone-exploding needles? Are you stunned?

"You mean each time I run my battle qi and suffer the attack of the bone-exploding needles, the energy of the bone-exploding needles would weaken?"
"Yes, when the bone-exploding needles hurt you, their energy was weakening!"
"If bone-exploding needles could be broken so easily, how could the priests in Ice and Snow Wilderness control people with them? Doesn't that mean everyone can break this secret technique as long as they can endure the pain? " Zhang Tie instantly thought of the key problem. Now that this thing could be solved in such a simple way, it seemed to be meaningless.
"Theoretically, yes; but actually, it's not that easy. Each time the bone-exploding needles attack a person and cause him great pain, although its energy is weakening, it will not be reflected in the feeling. Castle Lord, do you understand me? If a person feels the same great pain each time he solves the bone-exploding needles, how many times could he bear such a pain, 1 time, 10 times or 100 times? Out of instinct, he would choose to stay away from the pain and escape from this hopeless struggle!"
"You mean the principle of the bone-exploding needles' energy is like an erect cone-shaped container which is filled with water. I connect a tap at the bottom of the container. Each time I turn on the tap, water will flow out constantly. Although its flow rate doesn't change, the water in the container is gradually decreasing. I don't know whether the water has been drained or not until the end?"
"Correct. That's right. Before the water in the cone-shaped container completely drains out, as long as you turn the tap to a specific position, you will still have the same flow rate or pain. Additionally, I believe that those who are controlled by the bone-exploding needles might not know that they are actually consuming the energy of the bone-exploding needles each time they run their battle qi. The principle of this secret technique is that people can't see the hope of getting rid of it! Perhaps, even the priests who apply this secret technique might not know that the energy of the bone-exploding needles could be consumed in this way. "
"Will it cause damage to my body if I do this?"
"This is the second point. Iron-Body fruit could help you bear the great harm caused by the bone-exploding needles; your preliminary recovery body could help you recover your health rapidly. With these two factors as the foundation, it's possible for you to resolve the bone-exploding needles using battle qi!"
"What if it's commoners?"
"Based on commoners' bearing capacity and recovery ability, after encountering such a situation, before they completely resolve the energy of the bone-exploding needles, the accumulated harm caused by the bone-exploding needles would be enough to destroy their bodies and consume their vitality. Therefore, from this point of view, O'Laura is right. Besides the caster, nobody else could resolve the bone-exploding needles!"
Zhang Tie let out a deep sigh as he felt being free once again, "How long would it take me to resolve these bone-exploding needles?"
"Your current body's maximum endurance is to do it five times a day for twenty minutes each time. If you persist, the bone-exploding needles in your body will be completely removed in five days. I need to remind you that the moment you completely remove the bone-exploding needles, the Spell Caster will sense it!"
"If I escape away now, will the bone-exploding needles in my body really explode and kill me?"
"Yes, they will!"
"I can't go any further!"
"Yes, no matter how far away it is, it won't work. This thing is like the remote-sensing crystals and electromagnetic waves. As long as they are in the same space, the sensing range is not limited by the distance. It's just like how many twins are thousands of kilometers away from each other, but if one feels uncomfortable, the other will feel the same way.
"If that old man wants to kill me, wouldn't I have no ability to resist at all?" Zhang Tie asked. If that was the case, he would be like waiting for death without a fight.
"It's not that bad. The energy of bone-exploding needles needs a process. Actually, it is not as violent as a real explosion. It will take about 40 to 60 seconds for the energy to be released. By then, you can enter Castle of Black Iron at all costs. Different space barriers could cut off that person's sensing and manipulation of bone-exploding needles!"
Zhang Tie finally let out a sigh. If that really happened, he could only return to Castle of Black Iron and "digest" the bone-exploding needles in Castle of Black Iron before coming out. 'Hopefully, it won't come to that. If that's the case, I might have to change my look and leave Ice and Snow Wilderness right away. ' 'I've not imagined that I could cause so many troubles in the process of picking seven-strength fruits. '
Seemingly knowing Zhang Tie's mood, after communicating with Zhang Tie for a while, Heller finally gave Zhang Tie a surprise.
"Don't worry, Castle Lord. Actually, bone-exploding needles are not without benefits."
"Benefits? What benefits? "
"When you consume the energy of bone-exploding needles, your body will bear the attack of bone-exploding needles. This process could accelerate the growth of iron-body fruits. According to my calculation, if Castle Lord completely melts all the bone-exploding needles in your body, you could at least gain 3 iron-body fruits this time!"
'I could gain 3 iron-body fruits! 'After being stunned for a short while, Zhang Tie finally burst out into laughter...
"I've got another good news!"
"What good news?"
