"You … You're going to provoke the Alpine Barbarians?" The priest was sitting alone at the side, praying. When he heard Baiyi's words, he was instantly frightened. "Absolutely not! Absolutely not! They … They're going to eat people!!!" He stammered, "Absolutely not!
Before Baiyi could say anything, an angry roar came from the Void. "F * ck you!"
Baiyi had no choice but to placate the Caveman. "Calm down. Don't lower yourself to their level. Besides, they can't hear you even if you yell so loudly, right?"
Back in the real world, after the cleric's words, the Warrior, who had been silent all the way, chimed in, "I don't know if they eat people or not, but I'm sure they're cruel and savage. If we just barge in like this, I'm afraid …"
'Say, you bastard! You haven't spoken more than ten sentences all the way here, so why are you so quick to insult people? You're even using parallels now! Why didn't I know you had such a rich vocabulary? '
The weakest of the Zhang brothers, Zhang Fan, quickly chimed in, "That's right! That's right! Even if they don't eat people, those Alpine Barbarians are the most dangerous species in the mountains. They might even use our skulls as wine cups and skin us to make tambourines, right? So, Master Hope, what do you think? I still want to go back to my hometown and get married … "As he spoke, he shrank back, afraid that an Alpine Barbarian would suddenly leap out of the darkness and cut his head off.
"The day I get out of here, the first thing I'm going to do is eat this cleric and skin this bastard to make a tambourine! What did our tribe do to deserve this? Why are they so prejudiced against us?! " The Caveman bellowed in the Void. The other Voidwalkers quickly tried to calm him down. They could not help it; it was normal for them to be insulted like this for no reason at all.
"Calm down, calm down," Baiyi said. "That cleric looks like a monkey, like a weasel. I'm sure he's not going to taste good. That Northerner is skinny and skinny, so I'm sure his drumming will not sound good …" The Caveman laughed at Baiyi's words, and he finally calmed down.
But then again, one of the main reasons for such a misunderstanding and awkwardness was that the Alpine Barbarians were too low-key and unsociable. Basically, no one had seen them outside of the Eol Mountains. Moreover, this was a dangerous place that was rarely visited by humans. Even if people were interested in exploring this place, most of them would end up in the stomachs of ferocious beasts along the way. The only people who had more contact with them were the Steppe Barbarians. Both sides were enemies. They would always spread all kinds of rumors to discredit the Alpine Barbarians. Over time, the Alpine Barbarians were demonized.
Sometimes, it was not necessarily a good thing to keep a low profile. Baiyi had no choice but to waste his breath to explain to the crowd, "None of you have ever come into contact with the Alpine Barbarians before. Why do you think they are so horrifying? Other than the fact that they live on higher ground, there's not much difference between them and us. They don't eat human flesh, they don't use skulls as wine cups, and they don't use human skin as a tambourine. I'm very familiar with the bravest warriors among them. I know them better than any of you. So, you should believe me instead of believing those rumors. "
"I agree with Master Hope." "We've never come into contact with the Alpine Barbarians before. If they are really as horrifying as the rumors say, the Church would've sent out the judicial paladins a long time ago, wouldn't they? Besides, Master Hope is in charge of this operation. All we have to do is listen to him. I believe that he won't harm us. Even if he wants to harm us, he doesn't need to use such a troublesome method. With his strength, there's no need for him to do so. "
Baiyi nodded his head approvingly at the young sorcerer. Even though he had always thought that the young sorcerer was not that bright, it seemed like he still had the most basic analytical thinking ability. If he really wanted to trick these people, he could have done it in this uninhabited wilderness. There was no need for him to go through all this trouble.
Zhang Yiqi, the second brother of the Zhang Brothers, was much more rational than Zhang San. After listening to Xillians' words, he nodded his head and said, "Since it's Master Hope who's leading the team, we should trust his judgment. To be honest, I've always felt that our team is too short of manpower. But if we can get the help of the Alpine Barbarians, it'll be a different story. "
In the end, the eldest brother of the Zhang Brothers, Zhang Xiaoyang, also stood on Baiyi's side. Laughing heartily, he said, "Then let's go! I've only heard about the legends of the Alpine Barbarians but I've never seen them in person! It'll be good to see them! "
Naturally, Mia and Tisdale listened to Baiyi's words without any objections. Just like that, most of the rescue team agreed with Baiyi's plan. The Chaplain and Zhang San did not have any way to refute it.
Since the decision was made, everyone immediately seized the time to rest. Baiyi took out a piece of incense the size of a palm from his storage pouch and threw it into the fire. Instantly, a faint fragrance filled the air. This kind of incense was commonly seen in churches. It had a calming effect and could help people relieve their fatigue. At the same time, it could also drive away mosquitoes and insects, allowing them to sleep more peacefully.
After that, Baiyi turned around and entered Mia and Tisdale's tent. The two girls had already taken off their shoes and socks, revealing two pairs of white and cute little feet. Sitting cross-legged on the bed, they were whispering to each other. Mia was even hugging the hammerhead shark plushie in her arms with a smile on her face.
"Let's go to sleep." Baiyi said as he took out a bottle of green potion and sprinkled it around the girls' bedding. It was used to repel snakes and insects.
Mia stuck her tongue out at him playfully and took off her hood. She continued to wear her long sleeves and trousers. Since they were out in the mountains, they could not wear those beautiful short skirts. Naturally, Baiyi wrapped the two girls tightly.
Mia obediently snuggled into the quilt and could not help but exclaim, "Awww ~ It's so soft! It's just like home!"
Can't you see how many layers of mattress there are? My storage pouch is filled with these things! Baiyi thought to himself as he grabbed the quilt and wrapped Mia tightly with only her little head exposed. Then, he carefully tucked the edge of the quilt under her body, wrapping her up like a silkworm.
"Be careful, don't catch a cold." Even though it was still summer, the night in the mountains was not as hot as summer should be. Instead, it was chilly and the cold wind that blew from time to time could make one's hair stand on end.
"Alright, goodnight, Mia-chan," Baiyi said softly as he reached out to pinch Mia's cheek.
"Goodnight, Mr. Hope," Mia replied obediently as she gently kissed the tip of Baiyi's finger.
"Awww …" Immediately, a whine that sounded like that of a little animal could be heard coming from behind him. When he turned around, he saw that Tisdale had also curled up under the quilt with both of her hands grabbing onto the edge of the quilt, staring at him anxiously.
Didn't you always call yourself an elder sister? Why do you still have to learn from Mia? Baiyi thought to himself helplessly. Turning around, he also wrapped the quilt tightly around her, making her look like a bigger silkworm. Finally, he reached out and pinched her cheek as well, "Goodnight, Tisdale."
"Goodnight, sir," Tisdale said as she closed her beautiful big eyes in satisfaction.
"I think that after a while, they will start asking you to sleep with them," The Thane said coldly in the Void as if he was disgusted by such a thing. The Thane said coldly in the Void as if he was disgusted by such things. He then turned around and muttered, "Damn it, I'm so jealous … Why didn't I have a daughter in the first place?"
Tsk tsk, you perverted daughter con! I've found out, haven't I? Baiyi thought coldly in his heart. Even if you manage to get out of here in the future, don't even think about getting close to Mia and Tisdale!
The Thane seemed to be a little embarrassed that Baiyi had found out about his secret. Coughing a few times, he stiffly changed the topic, "Erm … How confident are you that the Alpine Barbarians will be able to take advantage of us?"
"If I'm not 100% confident, why would I make such a trip?" Baiyi retorted snappily.
"So confident? Are you sure that they are as easy to talk to as the barbarians here? "The Thane asked curiously.
"That's not the point. The point is the way to communicate with them. I think that as long as the values of the Alpine Barbarians have not changed too much over the years, there shouldn't be too much of a problem," Baiyi said confidently. Baiyi replied confidently. Then, he turned to the Caveman and asked, "What do you think will happen to your people?"
"We will change. The only thing that will change is our diet." The Caveman replied half-jokingly, "Of course, no matter how much they change, they will never eat people..."
So, the next day, the group continued their journey towards the Alpine Barbarians' territory. Since they had left the main route that other adventurers used to enter the Northern Wasteland, the little path that they could see under their feet could no longer be seen anymore. The group had completely blended into the mountains.
Very quickly, the three Zhang brothers displayed the qualities that a professional guide should have. Zhang Da was walking at the front with a machete in his hand, clearing a path for his companions behind him while carefully identifying the traces of animals on the ground. From time to time, he would even squat down and gesture at a set of footprints.
Zhang Er, on the other hand, was squinting his eyes and sniffing non-stop. He was trying to identify the various smells in the air. As for Zhang San, he was as agile as a monkey as he jumped up and down the tree, overlooking the situation in the distance.
