Chapter three hundred and fifty-two, the history of the Zhagu people
A simple chieftain's tent.
There is only a rough stone table here and a pillow made of weeds.
Because it may be relocated for various reasons at any time, the entire tribe is often mainly simple.
Although Lao Zagu left and was unwilling to see Luo Sen and the other two, his eyes were still staring at Luo Sen and the others through the small crack in the tent.
He saw Luo Sen and the others take out clear water and dry food, meat and fruit, and his eyes became extremely complicated.
After a while, Zagu brought a small piece of bloody meat and a wild fruit, and his face was full of excitement: "Sir, look, it's clean meat."
Clean flesh and blood almost does not exist in the Demon Abyss.
"Well, let it go." Lao Zhagu was unmoved.
After the person left, Lao Zhagu carefully picked up the flesh and took it and then burst into tears.
Ancestor, is this the meat recorded in the ancestral teachings?
This is too delicious.
But...but why are it human races, why are it those human races who exiled us to this dead land?
...
...
Luo Sen and the other two came to the back mountain of the Zhagu tribe.
Sure enough, there is a rich spiritual ore here.
In the mine cave, black and white ores are closely tied together.
The black ore is a skeleton, which is not of high value, mainly because it is relatively hard, while the white one is naturally a stone bone drill.
The proportion of stone bone drills is not high, but the reserves are also very rich. This kind of ore is almost useless in the Demon Abyss.
Because the creatures here can neither refine alchemy nor smelter weapons, and the stone bone drill is not hard, so it is even fragile to use it as a weapon.
The creatures in the Demon Abyss hardly use spiritual ore, so even though they are barren, the spiritual ore is still extremely rich and stored.
"I'm getting rich!" Qu Zhongxuan's eyes glowed.
Even Wen Xiao was a little moved. So many stone bone drills can bring a lot of benefits, and spirit stones are still very important for cultivation.
The three of them started to mine.
Soon, a large number of stone bones were dug out.
Qu Zhongxuan and Wen Xiao, after about a thousand kilograms of stone bone drills, were full of storage equipment and could not put it down, so they had no choice but to give up.
In order not to be too shocked, Luo Sen only collected three or four thousand kilograms of stone bone drills, but even so, Qu Zhongxuan was envious.
"It's such a fortune from heaven." Qu Zhongxuan sighed: "It's a pity that I can't hold it anymore. Will there be more valuable spiritual mines in the Demon Abyss?"
"There will definitely be some, but it depends on ourselves whether we can find it." Wen Xiao said.
The harvest this time has been calculated to be extremely large.
If I hadn't happened to meet the Zach tribe, who would have inexplicably entered a barren mountain to look for spiritual mines?
"Let's go, the harvest is so great that it's worthy of the time we've wasted." Rosen said.
The three of them were about to leave.
But before leaving, Rosen was about to say hello to the Zach tribe.
Back in Zach's group, Rosen found Gula and told him what the three of them were leaving.
Gula seemed very frustrated, but she didn't stop her.
Such food is simply a blessing from the Demon Lord. How could you hope these adults continue to stay here and continue to take out such food?
At this time, a baby cried in a small tent not far away, and the sound was very loud, and the surrounding Zagu Capital surrounded him.
It seems that a small life was born.
Luo Sen's mind moved slightly. The so-called Zhagu tribe and human tribe's living habits are really similar, and most importantly, they have very high wisdom.
None of the entire clan has more strength than silver, but has such high wisdom. No other race except humans seems to be like this.
At this time, a male Zagu ran out of the house with a baby in his arms and shouted, as if venting his ecstasy in his heart.
Luo Sen and the other two were shocked.
That baby... was as white as a lotus root, without green face, without fangs, and cried loudly, which was no different from a human child.
"Isn't this a human baby?" Qu Zhongxuan couldn't help but say.
Obviously, these Zaku are simply humans.
At this time, the atmosphere of the Zhagu tribe instantly fell from heat to cold.
The face of the baby changed drastically. He was a father for the first time, but when he was excited, he forgot to hide, which ended up revealing the baby's appearance.
For a moment, Zagu and others stared at Luo Sen and the other two.
The situation is very strange.
The Zagus do not want to be exposed secretly because this will cause disasters to be exterminated. However, if the news is not revealed, the three people in front of them must be killed.
However, once you take action, you will also cause disasters to exterminate the clan.
This puts the Zhagu tribe in a dilemma.
At this moment, Lao Zhagu walked out in a sigh: "Don't be excited, just do whatever you should do, and bring me the child."
Old Zagu said this, and the others were relieved.
Then Lao Zhagu said to Luosen and the other two in human language: "Please come with me."
Lao Zhagu held the child and led Luo Sen and the other two to a dilapidated house with clay statues of ancestors with green faces and fangs, which was very terrifying.
It seems, it is a place like a ancestral hall.
Lao Zhagu didn't say anything, but was making a pot of strange and foul-smelling liquid and adding some anchoring and creepy materials from time to time.
The eyes of the poisonous frog.
The tail of the stone scorpion.
The fangs of the squids, etc.
After making a while, he scooped up a spoonful of disgusting sticky liquid and poured it on the face of the newborn child.
Luo Sen and the other two were shocked.
What is this for?
The newborn child struggled in pain, but it was useless. The layer of liquid adhered to the baby's face and then slowly condensed into a layer of hideous mask.
His body also turned blue and black, like a little monster.
Luo Sen said calmly: "You are indeed human race. Why do you live here? Why do you hide your identity?"
"Human race, hehe, it may have been, but it has long been gone." Lao Zhagu put down his child and sighed: "We are people who have been forgotten on this land."
He now uses human language.
"As for why we hide our identity, do you think we think?"
"This kind of mask will accompany us throughout our lives. Once taken down, it will die. Who would like to be a monster in the Demon Abyss?"
"But you don't know that the nine demon lords of the Demon Abyss hate humans deeply. If he knew that humans lived in the Demon Abyss, we would definitely be exterminated."
"Our ancestors tried every means to create masks, and only then can our race survive in the demon abyss."
After hearing Lao Zhagu's words, a trace of sadness emerged in the three of them.
What kind of tragic life do these people live in the Demon Abyss?
Qu Zhongxuan asked involuntarily: "How long have you lived here?"
"Ha, it's been nearly ten thousand years." Lao Zhagu was neither sad nor happy.
"Have you not met other human races in the Demon Abyss?" Luo Sen couldn't help asking.
You should know that the space experience of Qianlong Academy has been around for a long time. Even if the space passage of the Demon Abyss is opened once for a long time, it is not something I have never encountered before.
"Of course I met. The old chief of the senior generation once recorded that seven hundred years ago, the Zhagu tribe met people from Qianlongyuan. It took a lot of effort to confirm each other's identities. We thought we could use the space to help.
The passage left, but was told that we were sinners and would stay in the abyss of demons to atone for our sins.”
Luo Sen was stunned.
Atonement?
"What sin?" asked Rosen.
Lao Zagu was furious: "How can I know what sin it is? We are forgotten human race and abandoned human race. If we want to atone for sins, it should be yours."
"We have been in the Demon Abyss for nearly ten thousand years. Even if we have a heinous crime, we should have finished redeeming it! Why don't we let go!!"
Lao Zhagu hated the Demon Abyss, the land that gave birth to him and raised him from the bottom of his heart.
Because he was the chief, he was not as ignorant as other Zagus. He knew his identity and knew that they should have lived in a rich human world.
Instead of hiding in the dark corner of the Demon Abyss, because I ate the dirty and smelly stinky ericori meat, I was proud and satisfied.
Hearing these words, Rosen and the other two became very complicated.
Who would have thought that the story behind it was so tortuous and bizarre.
Lao Zhagu calmed down his mood, but his eyes were still a little red: "I have accepted my fate, and I will not pass on the language of the human race and the legacy of my ancestors. Since I can't go back, I'd just completely cut off this thought.
Whether it is destruction in the future or the race completely becomes a monster, I don’t want to care anymore.”
"What do you want to do?" Rosen frowned.
Lao Zhagu said slowly: "I want my tribe members to have food and clothing, and no longer run around for such a little bit of stinky food, so I want to make a deal with you."
