One look and one could tell the na'vi's Mountain Banshee was out of the ordinary. Just based on its size alone, it was 2-3 times larger than its peers. Malevolent and malevolent, it was pure black in colour. Although it definitely couldn't match up to the Great Leonopteryx in terms of body colour and size, it was at least a tier-4 or tier-5 legendary creature!
The trio had already followed the information provided by the RDA; respectfully placing their hands on their chests, they humbly bowed and greeted.
"O mighty Takji Patriarch, we bring you greetings and gifts from the daughter of the dragon clan, Mo`at."
Mo`at was the shaman priestess of the Omaticaya clan. The reason why she was bestowed with the title of 'daughter of the dragon clan', was because she had inherited the bloodline of a Phantom Knight. Therefore, not only was her communication with Mother Nature Eywa extremely smooth, she had even grasped a few secret techniques to tame the Mountain Banshee. Therefore, the aerial knights of the Omaticaya clan were much more numerous than other clans. Moreover, her reputation amongst the na'vi race was considerably high.
After hearing Mo`at's name, in addition to the goodwill of these 3 outsiders, the Takji Chieftain would've most likely ignored them if it was under normal circumstances. After all, these outsiders exuded an inharmonious aura. However, he had personally witnessed the might of these few outsiders, and the Takji clan was currently at the most critical juncture ….. countless thoughts flashed through the Takji Chieftain's mind, before he finally nodded his head.
"I thank Mo`at for her greetings, and I thank mother Eywa for her protection."
Sheyan tilted his head. Here, Jinkuang appeared and offered several bottles of wine. After sniffing it, the na'vi old man revealed a joyous expression and exclaimed.
"Is this Mastatigav (Fruit Wine)?"
He immediately gulped down a mouthful, but his eyeballs instantly bulged out, as though he was choking on his own saliva. That peculiar expression instantly caused the distant Na'vi cavalrymen to tense up, as they glared angrily at the contestants and whistled loudly.
Several seconds later, the Takji Patriarch hastily retrieved a piece of meat jerky from his waist pouch and tossed it into his mouth. Then, he comfortably exhaled a breath reeking of alcohol, before praising.
"Not bad at all. Good! Henceforth, you are friends of our Takji clan. "
Following the Takji Patriarch's announcement, Sheyan and the rest received a notification – [You have obtained the friendship of the Takji clan, Takji clan reputation unlocked.]
"So that's how it is … This old fox won't give in until he gets something in return." "Based on our current difficulty, I reckon we can only unlock some small scale Na 'vi clans' reputation. Only when one's reputation within the clans reaches' Worshipped ', would one be able to activate the notification of a major clan like the Omaticaya clan. If not for me scheming against the Takji clan and reducing their clan population to a small scale clan, everyone would be able to call the wind and summon the rain in the Omaticaya clan. Then wouldn't the storyline change be too easy! "
Following that, Jinkuang pointed to the dozen or so dying lizard goats and said.
"This is our meeting gift to the honorable Takji clan."
When his words faded, the 5-6 Na 'vi cavalrymen instantly cheered, before galloping off. Not long after, they returned with a group of Na' vi cavalrymen similarly mounted on direhorses. Nevertheless, the first few Na 'vi cavalrymen could still be described with the words' old 'and' weak '. Yet for the later group, they could only be described with the words' sick 'and' crippled '.
Amongst the later Na 'vi cavalrymen, a Na' vi with a broken leg seemed to be the leader. This Na 'vi's facial features were rather similar to the Takji Patriarch, except the frost and hardships on his face were slightly lighter. A group of Na 'vi cavalrymen carried a half-dead lizard goat before him. This Na 'vi cavalryman seated cross-legged on the ground extended his hand to pinch the lizard goat's head. Twisting and turning, he had already twisted the lizard goat's head 360 degrees.
Then, with a backhand pull, he pulled out a sharp and thin black horned dagger from his waist. Then, like moving clouds and flowing water, he slashed downwards. This slash felt as though even the air was being sliced apart.
Due to the excruciating pain, the long fur on the lizard goat's body stood up in disarray. Moreover, that black horned dagger had already sliced open the goat's chest, causing its innards to spill out. Instead, the Na 'vi cavalryman grabbed the innards, and sorted them into a pile.
A lizard goat that weighed at least 700 to 800 kilograms was easily sliced apart by this Na 'vi's dagger. Instead, Sheyan could discern that this Na' vi was using his naked body to slice apart his prey. Sheyan believed that if he didn't have his legs, he would definitely be exceedingly formidable. As the Na 'vi cavalrymen took turns to carry the lizard goats over, the dozen or so lizard goats were disposed of in less than 10 minutes!
With these dozen or so lizard goats, the Takji clan instantly embarked on their journey home in high spirits. Sheyan and the rest were naturally invited as well. When they arrived at the base of the Hometree, Jinkuang gradually inquired about various matters from the Na 'vi who had favorable impressions of them.
As it turns out, the Takji clan was originally a medium sized clan with close to 300 members. They were renowned for their expertise in taming direhorses, and were especially adept in mounted archery. They originally belonged to the 'Son of Nature', but their taming techniques had been learned from the Kiwatakin clan. Hence, their cavalry was exceedingly formidable.
Because of this, they owed the Kiwatakin clan a favour. Hence, even after the Kiwatakin clan had declined, the Takji clan still went forth to rescue them. When they heard that it was a few outsiders, they dispatched the brave warrior Jacques and his friends. Initially, they assumed that this was a 90% success. Yet in the end, Jacques hadn't returned after a long time.
Moreover, Jacques' prestige and popularity were exceedingly high within the clan. This time, he had dispatched at least a hundred warriors. In the end, their luck was terribly bad as they encountered the collapse of the Hometree, which incurred the wrath of Mother Nature Eywa. (Actually, from a scientific point of view, the explosives used by Sheyan and the rest had interfered with the stable magnetic field. Furthermore, the collapse of the dying Hometree, which maintained the balance with the pandora crystals, naturally catalyzed the process, triggering something similar to a magnetic storm.) Hence, not a single one returned.
The sudden loss of a small portion of the clan's population was already an unthinkable calamity. What more, those who perished were all elite warriors? Hence, these few days, the clan members were in a state of trepidation. Even their rations were about to run out. Before Sheyan and the rest arrived, the clansmen had already been in a state of half-starvation for several days. Today, with the arrival of these dozen or so lizard goats, they could at least fill their stomachs for several days.
Within the Takji clan, only three individuals possessed the qualifications to ride a Mountain Banshee. This was probably due to the fact that after the death of their Shaman, there hadn't been a new Shaman for a long time. Thus, they were unable to communicate with Mother Nature Eywa, and naturally found it difficult to subdue the ferocious Mountain Banshee. The Takji patriarch's Mountain Banshee possessed the bloodline of the Great Leonopteryx, and was exceedingly ferocious. Instead, it was a fortuitous encounter he had acquired during his youth, and was an experience that was completely impossible to replicate.
That 'Butcher' Na'vi with a broken leg was actually the son of the Takji patriarch, Muru. He was originally the number one warrior of the clan, and the number one candidate for the position of clan leader. Yet because of his broken leg, he suddenly plummeted from the heavens to the earth, and was incomparably depressed. Nevertheless, he profited from this misfortune, and didn't perish in the great explosion caused by Sheyan.
After hearing this news, Sheyan's heart stirred. Then, he collaborated with Mogensha and Reef to complete several missions in the Takji clan. After raising their reputation to 'neutral', he then ran over to seek out Muru ….. and only asked him one question.
"Do you wish to recover your broken leg?"
Facing such an exceedingly idiotic question, even though Sheyan's charm was exceptionally low, Muru's eyes still ignited with an exceedingly frenzied and fervent blaze. He nodded fervently and replied.
"Yes!!!"
"I have a way. But if your broken leg truly recovers, then I will have to pay a tremendous price for it. Therefore, you must help me with something … …."
Muru didn't even ask what he needed to help with, and directly agreed.
"Fine!"
The reason why Muru was so forthright was because ….. his broken leg had been broken for an entire three years, yet no one had ever asked him this question!
At present, according to Sheyan's estimations, Zi and the rest should've already set off to attempt the final side mission. Although they might not be confident in accomplishing this mission, they should've at least entertained the notion of retreating if it didn't work out. Even if they gave up, they definitely wouldn't stay in Hell's Gate in a daze. Instead, they would hunt down several legendary creatures.
Hence, Sheyan brought Muru to Hell's Gate, and threatened to report Supervisor Parker for accepting bribes and favoritism. Finally, Parker agreed to use his biological technology to recover Muru's broken leg. Of course, the price was that Parker and Muru's relationship had turned hostile ….. but to Sheyan, Parker's usefulness had been completely squeezed dry. Therefore, Parker's personal relationship with Sheyan, be it worship or hostility, was the same.
To Sheyan's surprise, Doctor Grace actually didn't have any objections to Supervisor Parker's command, and very straightforwardly accepted it. Even Sheyan, who had prepared several plans to deal with this situation, was astonished. Nevertheless, he quickly understood. Doctor Grace indeed held great love for this planet. Thus, her love for the house extended to the crows of the house, and naturally treated the Na'vi wholeheartedly.
At present, earth's technology could even create avatars, what more a broken leg of a Na'vi? Muru's face was filled with disbelief as he sprinted his first step. Finally, tears streamed down his face as he howled towards the sky!!
