After listening to Old Wu's explanation, Li Xunyi finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that although the place where they were now was close to the center of the new continent, because of some of the local specialties such as medicinal herbs and furs, Daqi's caravans would often come here to purchase goods and bring them back to sell.
Although they were called caravans, they were actually smuggling teams. There were many such smuggling teams. Some were organized by natives, while others were organized by people from Da Qi State. Many of the New World's animal bones, fur, herbs, minerals, and all kinds of gold, jewelry, and other precious goods were smuggled to the colonies and then transported to the Central Plains by sea.
It could be said that this was a long and wide trade route with countless benefits flowing through it.
The caravan that Old Wu was in was one of the most front-line smuggling teams. In the past few years, they had been to this area. There were five or six villages nearby, and they had made several transactions. Generally, they had brought all kinds of tools, wine, and weapons from the colonies in exchange for herbs, fur, and animals here.
However, when they came again this time, they found that the village had changed greatly. The villagers were very hostile to them. They even tied them up and imprisoned them. Today, they even wanted to kill them as sacrifices.
Li Xunyi walked to the headless body of the first native, looked at the native's head that was still covered in animal bones, and asked, "This is the wizard of this tribe?"
"Yes." Old Wu nodded quickly. "This tribe is called the Gesang tribe. They are a little close to the Western Yindi people, but they are more primitive and barbaric. Wizards are the most important people in their tribe.
Although they were primitive before, they were not hostile to us. But this time, for some reason, they want to kill us as sacrifices. "
Li Xunyi did not speak. He looked at the animal bones on the head of the native and felt an indescribable sense of ferocity.
After a while, Zuo Zhicheng, Qing Yueqiu, and the others also came to the village. Shen Anan looked at the corpses on the ground in surprise and said with a strange expression, "Li Xunyi, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless. You killed so many of them in one go."
"A group of bloodthirsty beasts. So what if I killed them." Li Xunyi's eyes flashed with a cold light. He looked at Old Wu and the others and said, "It's like this …"
Next, he explained the matter to Zuo Zhicheng and the others. Although they were not murderers, they all had a few lives in their hands, so they did not object to what Li Xunyi did.
However, Zuo Zhicheng frowned and looked at the two aborigines who were still kneeling on the ground with terrified expressions. He asked, "Do any of you know how to communicate with them? We have some things. "
"I … I will." Behind Old Wu, a tall and thin man stood up. He looked at Zuo Zhicheng carefully and then lowered his head.
Old Man Wu introduced from the side, "Sirs, this is my nephew. He can speak a few words of these people's native language, but these natives are stupid and don't know much. They might not know what you ask."
"It's okay." Zuo Zhicheng's eyes were cold as he looked at the two natives and said, "Tell the two of them that we want to ask them some questions. If they can answer, they will be fine. If not, they will die."
When the tall and skinny man heard this, he started talking to the two aborigines in gibberish. When the two aborigines heard this, they immediately became excited. They kept nodding and kneeling.
Zuo Zhicheng asked, "Ask them if they know of a place called Ghost Cry Valley. It is a stone forest. When the wind blows, there will be ghost cries."
The tall and thin man said a few words. The young native was confused, but the old native's expression changed and he immediately shook his head.
He was a simple mountain person who didn't know how to hide his expression. How could he hide it from the eyes of these experienced people?
After a round of torture, the old native could only say what he knew bit by bit. Every sentence he said was translated by the tall and thin man.
"He said there is such a place, but according to ancient legends, there is a demon sealed there. We must not go there."
This was a legend passed down in the Sang Ge tribe. It was said that thousands of years ago, there was a terrible demon on the earth. In order to kill the demon, the gods sealed it in the earth and then sent down countless guards to guard it.
"A simple story." Shen Anan analyzed, "The civilization of these natives is too low. Compared to them, the Amalikans who can use Taoist techniques are an incredible country. It is very likely that their ancestors saw the process of the Amalikans building the ancient tombs. That is why there is such a legend."
Li Xunyi nodded. "What else did he say?"
The place where the gods sealed the demon was indeed in a valley. The valley used to be full of stone pillars and stone mountains. When the wind blew, there would be a terrible roar.
The elders in the tribe said that it was the howling of the demon sealed in the valley. The people of the Gesang tribe followed the ancient teachings and never dared to step into the Ghost Cry Valley. However, everything changed on a night a few decades ago.
At that time, the old native was only a six or seven year old kid.
A group of people with black hair and black eyes in strange clothes came to the village. These people were very powerful and rich. It didn't take long for them to gain the favor of the villagers. However, the Grand Wizard found that they seemed to be very interested in the Ghost Cry Valley and often asked about the situation inside. He kept persuading them not to go in, saying that there was a great demon sealed in there.
Shen Anan smiled. "It seems that we met someone of the same trade. They are stepping on plates and asking about the tomb." She looked at Li Xunyi. "Is your information accurate? Don't tell me that after we go in, we will only find a pile of pots and pans and nothing else? "
Li Xunyi said, "Let him finish."
Although the Grand Wizard persuaded those people not to go near the Ghost Cry Valley, it still happened. It was early in the morning. Suddenly, an earth-shattering noise came from the direction of the Ghost Cry Valley. The Grand Wizard rushed to the rooms of the people from the Da Qi State and found that they were all gone.
By the time he angrily rushed to Ghost Cry Valley with his men, the entire valley had undergone an astonishing change overnight. All the valleys were filled with countless trees. Many of the stones were covered with green. From then on, the sound of ghosts crying in the wind could no longer be heard in the Ghost Cry Valley.
The Grand Wizard was worried that the outlanders would release the demon, so he sent the bravest warriors in the tribe into the Ghost Cry Valley.
However, no matter how many people they sent, no matter who they sent, no one came out of the Ghost Cry Valley. The quiet jungle was like a green hell, swallowing all life.
Even the people of the Gesang tribe began to die. It was as if the gods had cursed them. Many people began to die inexplicably.
At first, it was the old people. The old people in the tribe began to weaken, as if they had all died of old age at the same time.
If this was just a coincidence and did not attract the Grand Wizard's attention, then the young women who began to die caused panic in the tribe.
At that time, young women died every day. Some were attacked by animals, some died of diseases, and some died from falling off cliffs. As time passed, the situation became more and more serious. In the end, some women even choked to death after eating a mouthful of rice.
It was as if an invisible nightmare was taking their lives.
At this time, even the most stupid of the natives knew that something was wrong. (The novel "Silent Slaughter" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform.
