Zerbister Continent has the Blackstone Mountains at its northernmost end and the Wilderness Mountains at its southernmost end, which can be called the two poles of the continent.
Compared with the inaccessible Blackstone Mountains, the Savage Mountains are much more "prosperous". Tough barbarians have been living here for generations since the Dark Ages.
There are large tracts of virgin forest growing in the wild mountains, where poisonous insects and ferocious beasts are infested, and the landscape environment is extremely complex and harsh. Therefore, the size of the barbarians is far less large than that of the grassland peoples, but for thousands of years, the Nanyan Empire has been unable to do anything to them.
The Hand of Darkness and his party were escorted out of the border fortress by Emperor Nan Yan's army, and then headed towards the vast wild mountains.
"There are hundreds of barbarian tribes, but there are only three that can cause trouble to the Nanyan Empire. They are the boulder, the black sand, and the sacred tree." Guderian had already restored his barbarian attire and introduced as he walked:
"Although I occasionally interact with the Tomb Keepers, I don't know much more than you do. As far as I know, the Shenmu Tribe has the closest relationship with the Tomb Keepers.
According to rumors, the Tomb Guard clan lives in the lava land. And the tribe closest to the lava land is the Shenmu Tribe."
Elaine said: "You must be the leader of the Boulder Tribe. Since it is about the same size as you, just talk to that sacred tree and it will save us the trouble of looking for it."
"It would be nice if you help me find it and don't cause trouble." Guderian said with a wry smile: "The relationship between the three major tribes has never been good. In the first half of the year, we had a fight with the Shenmu tribe because of the affairs of several affiliated tribes."
Elaine snorted: "They are all barbarians, why are they not united at all?"
"Okay, when you get to the place, you have to restrain your temper." Yeze lectured: "Guderian is the leader of the tribe. He doesn't mind your attitude, but his tribe will have opinions."
Elaine did not refute, and replied very obediently: "I know..."
Ye Ze was so excited that he almost fell off his horse.
Guderian also felt cold and said quickly: "Barbarians don't have so many rules, so you don't need to pay too much attention.
Barbarians make friends regardless of race. As long as you enter as a demon hunting group, at least in the Boulder Tribe, I can protect you. After settling in, I will contact the leader of the Shenmu Tribe before taking the next step.
Intend."
Ye Ze nodded: "It's all up to you. Whatever you say, I will do."
In addition to the members of the Hand of Darkness, Peter also joined in. The Huo Fang Huo Zong originally wanted to bring people to follow, but Ye Ze refused. The Huo Fang and his group were quite strong, but most of them came from Nan Yan's army, so they might be
People have discovered some clues. The original members of the Hand of Darkness are all well-established, so they are more or less safe.
……………………
Not far from the Nanyan Frontier Fortress, we entered the mountains, and the road became increasingly rugged and difficult to walk. It didn't take long before several horses broke their legs. Although everyone was mentally prepared, they couldn't help but complain again and again.
Guderian looked back and said to Yeze: "It is not suitable for horses to travel in the mountains. When we get to the tribe, I will get you some horned sheep. It will be much easier to ride."
The horned sheep is one of the specialties of the wild mountains. It is a goat that is bigger than a horse and has three horns. As long as the cliffs are not too exaggerated, it is not too strenuous to walk.
Ye Ze was about to thank him when he suddenly felt a warning sign and shouted: "Be alert!"
Everyone in the Dark Hand reacted quickly, gathering their horses, warriors formed a formation in front, and archers cocked their arrows. A group of magic-sealing masters even held the magic-sealing cards in their hands.
Along with a rustling sound, many barbarian warriors with bare arms emerged from the grass and dense forest. There were also many warriors riding horned sheep on the cliff, jumping and running on the mountain wall.
Surrounded Ye Ze and others.
Yeze signaled everyone not to do anything and looked at Guderian.
The barbarians also use the common language of the mainland, so there is no communication problem in Yeze. But as I said beforehand, everything will be decided by Guderian when we reach the barbaric mountains.
Guderian shouted loudly: "I am Lan Tong of the Boulder Tribe. Which tribe are you from and who is the leader? Come out and see me!!"
Fights often break out between small tribes of barbarians, and annexation of each other occurs from time to time. This place used to be the sphere of influence of the Huangyan tribe and was affiliated with the Boulder tribe, but Guderian could not guarantee whether anything happened during his absence.
.
"Blue eyes?!" The barbarians made a commotion.
A barbarian warrior who seemed to be the leader asked doubtfully: "We are from the Huangyan tribe, are you really the leader with blue eyes?"
Guderian calmed down and ordered: "Call your leader, he will recognize me."
…………………………
The leader of the Huangyan tribe came quickly and asked Guderian and others to go in and rest.
Although Guderian had already said that Ye Ze and others were his invited guests, the Huangyan tribe members still looked at him with hostile eyes. However, they did not say anything out of awe of Lan Tong.
During the dinner, Guderian quietly told Ye Ze.
These small affiliated tribes dare not disobey him, but when they reach the Megalithic Tribe, they may encounter some difficulties.
Ye Ze didn't take it seriously, and later simply left Guderian behind and went to have a drink with the leader of the Huangyan tribe. The man was obviously not happy, but looking at Guderian's face, he just grunted and laughed.
Guderian didn't pay much attention to it. But the next day, he was surprised to see the man and Yeze hooking up, and they were very good. He also pulled out a lot of horned sheep for the Dark Hand people to ride on.
Guderian admired Yeze with all his heart. But when he knew the truth, he became filled with endless contempt.
Yeze didn't win the favor of the Huangyan tribe by virtue of any charm, it was purely a friendship forged with a knife.
Yeze left all the horses and took out another ten million knives and threw them to the leader of the Huangyan tribe. For a small tribe like Huangyan, one million knives was a huge sum of money, let alone one thousand.
Ten thousand.
Guderian scolded Yeze for being a prodigal, but Yeze was leisurely and content, acting like I have more money than you can do to me.
……………………
The group of people traveled in the mountains for many days, passing through many tribes. Yeze did not spend any more money, and Guderian took care of everything. On this day, they finally arrived at the Boulder Tribe.
Like other tribes, most of the houses of the Megalithic Tribe are built on mountain walls. Bamboo buildings and stone houses seem to be hanging in the air from a distance. There are a variety of crops, fruits and vegetables in the flat areas, and some of them look like fighting arenas.
The same location. But compared to the small tribes we saw before, the layout of the megalithic tribe is much more regular.
Someone had already reported back to the tribe. Before Yeze and the others could wait, they saw a group of barbarians coming out with shouts. A tall barbarian also carried Guderian on his shoulders and spun him around a few times.
"Blue-eyed man, you are finally back." The tall barbarian put Guderian down and said excitedly: "When are we going to fight the Nanyan Empire?"
Guderian coughed and said: "Nan Yan is better prepared, but the timing is not good. Let other tribes go explore first, and we will see the situation before taking action."
"Okay, I won't be wrong to listen to you anyway." The tall barbarian chuckled, glanced at Yeze and the others again, and asked: "Headman, are these slaves you captured?"
As soon as Elaine stared, she was about to have a seizure, but Angelina pulled her back.
Guderian shook his head and said: "These people are the warriors of the Demon Hunting Group, the dark hands from the Northern Frost Empire. They are all guests I invited. Don't be too rude."
"The warriors of the demon hunting group are better than those stupid nobles." The tall barbarian nodded to Ye Ze and others, and said: "The leader's friends are my friends."
Guderian asked: "Did anything happen while I was away?"
The barbarian named Xin Ji said: "Nothing happened, and there was no trouble in Shatu. It's just that those mammoths seem to be short of food recently and often come to attack our farmland."
Guderian frowned and said: "Those big guys are so fertile, they have to organize hunting again."
"Great!" Xin jumped up excitedly, and the other barbarians also kept shouting.
Elaine poked at Yeze from behind and asked curiously: "Are there also mammoths in the wild mountains? Don't those big guys only like to be in cold places?"
The mammoth is a huge creature nearly twenty meters tall, with thick long hair. When it goes mad, it is more ferocious than the beast monster. It is mainly distributed in some areas of the Blackstone Mountains. If you look a little to the south, it is difficult to see it.
to their traces.
Yeze turned around and explained: "The mammoths here are not the ones you know. They are much smaller, generally six or seven meters tall. They are called mammoths only because they look similar to giant mammoths. In fact, they are wild animals.
A wild elephant in the mountains."
After hearing the conversation between the two, Guderian said: "These mammoths are not much easier to deal with than giant elephants. Those guys are greedy and their reproductive capacity is amazing. Compared to the Nanyan Empire, they have caused us much more serious trouble.
"
As he was speaking, there was a burst of heavy footsteps, and a loud, slightly hoarse voice sounded from a distance: "But compared to those mammoths, the bastards of the Nanyan Empire are our real enemies. Are you right?
, the blue-eyed man?”
Ye Ze turned around and looked around, and couldn't help but clicked his tongue.
Ye Ze is 1.9 meters tall and is already a big man. He mostly looks down when he looks at people.
But now this person is walking over. He is two and a half meters tall. He is extremely strong. His arms seem to be thicker than an average person's waist. His hair is spread over his shoulders, his nose is straight, his mouth is square, and his eyes are as big as copper bells. If you meet him alone in the wild,
, Yeze might have thought he had encountered a giant bear.
Guderian's face darkened and he said coldly: "Shatu, I'm afraid you will be very unhappy when you see me coming back."
"Hahahaha..." The bear-like barbarian laughed and said: "If you can't come back, of course I will be happy, everyone knows."
Guderian snorted and said, "You are still as frank as ever."
"Of course, I'm not as hypocritical as the Mountain Outsiders." The barbarian named Shatu glared at Yeze and the others, and said, "You pesky Mountain Outsiders, what are you doing in the Boulder Tribe? Do you want to die?"
Guderian said coldly: "They are all my guests, you'd better show some respect."
"Guest?" Shatu clenched his fist and said with a ferocious smile: "Since you are the leader's guest, let's entertain him according to the rules of the mountain..." (To be continued. If you like this work,
