After looking at it for a while, Linlong's brows furrowed.
This was because he found that these runic tools lacked a core, and this core was precisely where the other party had modified these runic tools. In other words, he could not see any clues from these runic tools.
Linlong had to stop studying these runic tools and carefully look at the things in the room for a while. He was relieved.
This was because the layout of the tools inside was exactly the same as when Master Zhuo was here. In other words, these runic tools were all handled by Master Zhuo.
These runic tools all lacked a core. Linlong guessed that it was because Luo Ying did not tell Master Zhuo the core content.
Just as he was wondering if he should continue to wait here or go out, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside. From the sound of it, it seemed to be two people.
One of them seemed to be a little unsteady.
Then, the voices of two people could be heard.
"Master Zhuo, you have to quickly make those runic tools. Otherwise, not only will I not be able to complete the task, but your old body will also not be able to take it," said one of them.
This voice was a little familiar, but Linlong could not remember who it was for a while.
"Hmph." The other person just snorted coldly.
Even so, Linlong could still tell that the owner of this voice was Master Zhuo.
"Alright, I won't go in to supervise. Just remember what I just told you." After the two people came to the door, the person from before stopped and said this.
Then, Linlong heard someone walk in from the door.
It was Master Zhuo.
Linlong hid behind a door and saw through the gap that it was Master Zhuo who walked in.
However, Master Zhuo was clearly limping. After seeing Master Zhuo's appearance, Linlong immediately frowned because Master Zhuo's body was obviously covered in scars.
Not only was Master Zhuo's body covered in scars, but he also had a frown on his face.
After entering the room, he let out a long sigh and sat on a chair. He picked up a runic tool, but there was no movement for a long time.
After confirming that the person outside really did not walk in, Linlong walked out from behind the door.
Seeing someone suddenly walk out, Master Zhuo was obviously shocked. However, after seeing that the person in front of him was Linlong, he immediately looked like he was about to cry tears of joy.
Linlong put his hand on his mouth, signaling Master Zhuo not to make a sound. Only then did Master Zhuo calm down.
"Linlong, you're finally back." Master Zhuo suppressed the joy in his heart.
However, he thought of something and immediately asked worriedly, "How did you get here? Were you captured by them?"
Linlong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Elder Zhuo. They don't know that I'm Linlong. They only think that I'm someone who just came from the outside world."
"That's good." Master Zhuo heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he frowned and said, "However, there are many people in the valley who are on their side. You will be discovered by them sooner or later."
"Don't worry, Elder Zhuo. I have a plan. Tell me what's going on first," Linlong said calmly.
Seeing that Linlong didn't take it to heart, Master Zhuo spoke up.
"It's a long story. A few days after you left, a group of people came from the outside world. This group of people was originally going to die in the Valley of Beasts, but they happened to meet a hunting team led by Huo Yi."
"Seeing that there were people from the outside world coming in, the overjoyed Huo Yi naturally gave them a helping hand regardless of everything. Later, he rescued six people."
"After they were rescued, the six people behaved themselves in the valley. Later, Huo Yi discovered that the leader of the six people, a young man named Luo Ying, who was in his thirties, was very knowledgeable about runes, so he called him over to me."
"After this person came, I found that his attainments in runes were higher than what Huo Yi had said. This naturally made me happy, so I taught him how to make runic tools step by step. His learning speed was very fast, and in just a few days, he could already make runic tools."
"After that, I was able to improve the runic tool in just over two months. This made me extremely happy. I thought that I had met another person like you, and that I could share my burden with him. But later, I found out that I was wrong."
Speaking of this, Master Zhuo shook his head.
"Oh, what did Elder Zhuo say?" Linlong asked.
Sighing softly, Master Zhuo continued.
"Later, I'm afraid that even if you were present, you would have been surprised by his improvement of runic tools."
"That's because he modified runic tools so that people could learn and master them easily, right?" Linlong asked.
"Exactly, but how did you know?" Master Zhuo could not help but ask.
"The two people who brought me in said so," Linlong said.
"Oh." Master Zhuo nodded and continued, "His transformation has excited the entire tribe, because this way, more people will be able to master runic weapons."
"What was even more exciting was that he was able to further improve the runic tools. This made the tribesmen even more crazy."
"But no one expected that Luo Ying would become a little complacent at this time. He actually asked to replace Huo Yi and obtain the right to assign people to hunt."
"The old Valley Master reluctantly accepted this right, but then Luo Ying proposed an even crazier condition, which was to marry Miss Situ."
Speaking of this, Master Zhuo could not help but take a look at Linlong before continuing.
"Actually, before this, Luo Ying had harassed Miss Situ, but was directly beaten by Miss Situ until his row of teeth fell out. At first, everyone thought that he would restrain himself, but who would have thought that after further modification of the runic tools, he would directly make such a request to the old Valley Master."
"The old Valley Master naturally did not agree. After all, Miss Situ did not agree, and everyone in the valley was indebted to you. After being rejected by the old Valley Master, Luo Ying directly turned around and left. At first, everyone thought that the matter was over, but unexpectedly, half a month later, Luo Ying led the other five people to suddenly attack the valley and directly captured the old Valley Master. "
"Oh?" Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Linlong's eyes.
"Naturally, everyone was unwilling to let the old Valley Master be captured just like that, so half of the people immediately began to besiege Luo Ying and the other five people. However, to everyone's surprise, the runic tools in the hands of Luo Ying and the other five people were actually modified by Luo Ying, and their attack power was incomparably strong. Even though we had more people on our side, we were still directly defeated by them. Some people who were unwilling to submit were even directly killed on the spot."
"After that, Luo Ying proposed a condition to make many people submit to him, and willingly cooperate with him to deal with other people. Later on, with this relationship, he directly became the Valley Master."
"What condition did he propose?" Linlong could not help but ask.
"The condition he proposed was that anyone who submitted to him would be able to obtain his newly developed runic tools. This condition was extremely tempting, and in addition to the fact that some people already had some opinions about the old Valley Master, he immediately won the support of those people," Master Zhuo said.
"However, Luo Ying was very guarded against me. Later on, I did not even see the core parts of the runic tools that he modified, so I can't provide you with any help. To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that I was the only one in the valley besides him who could make runic tools, I would have been killed by him long ago, "Master Zhuo said regretfully before Linlong could ask.
At this moment, Linlong looked at Master Zhuo and said, "Elder Zhuo, the injuries on your body were caused by them forcing you to make runic tools, right?"
"Yes, in order to survive, I could only do this … Sigh, and also for the other people in the tribe. Although most of them sided with Luo Ying, they are still people of our valley," Master Zhuo sighed.
