Lin Li followed the two jungle walkers for a long walk in the forest, chatting along the way, and learned their names. The taller one was called Huo Qi, and the first one was Huo De.
The two of them have been living in this forest with their tribe since they were born, and have never left here. According to the legends passed down from their ancestors, they have been living here waiting for adventurers like Lin Li from the outside world to appear.
.
The two of them asked Lin Li what the outside world was like, but Lin Li didn't really understand what the demon world was like, so he could only tell them about it based on his own impressions.
After watching the two of them listen to his description of the outside world, the big eyes under the rhinoceros horns kept flashing with golden light. Lin Li could see that the two of them were really yearning for the outside world.
After finally wandering around in the forest, Lin Li and the others finally arrived at the tribe they were talking about.
"It's Huo Qi who's back. Did you gain anything today?" Huo Qi and the others heard a rough voice as soon as they entered the tribe's gate. Lin Li followed the sound and looked over, and saw Huo Qi and Huo Qi.
They looked almost the same, but one of the horns on their head was cut off at the waist as if carrying something, leaving only one horn. The Jungle Walker walked over.
"Uncle Duke, we haven't found any food for a few days, but we found the legendary adventurer!" Huo Qi and Huo De said excitedly, and then quickly stepped aside to give way to the forest behind them.
came out.
"What did you say?" Uncle Duke couldn't believe his ears. When he saw Lin Li behind Hodge and the others, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a moment.
After living in the outskirts of this forest for so many years, Duke knew how many trees there were in the outskirts. He even knew that this person was definitely not a demon in their forest. Could it be that as Hodge said, this person was theirs for generations?
Adventurers waiting?
When the busy jungle walkers in the tribe heard what Hodge and the others said, they stopped what they were doing and came over to Lin Li. They surrounded Lin Li, carefully observing Lin Li's appearance, and kept whispering.
With.
"Is this the legendary adventurer? He looks really weird."
"That's right, his small body can be blown away by a gust of wind. What do you think is so special about him? We have to wait for him to appear."
Listening to the whispers of these tribesmen, Lin Li couldn't help complaining in his heart, "I haven't said that you guys look weird, okay..." A group of big, stupid, and thick-looking guys started talking about me.
"Go ahead and do whatever you need to do! Don't hang around here!" Uncle Duke shouted at this time.
Upon hearing Duke's voice, the jungle walkers who gathered around Lin Li dispersed one after another, looking at Lin Li with lingering interest before leaving.
Lin Li looked at the Jungle Walkers who left obediently, thinking that Duke must have a high status in the tribe, and these Jungle Walkers listened to his words very much.
"Are you the clan leader here?" Lin Li looked at Duke and asked.
"Huh? Haha, I'm not the clan leader. Come on, I'll take you to see the clan leader." Duke said to Lin Li with a smile, and then he became polite and led the way.
Lin Li walked in the tribe and found that the tribe was full of simple tent-like houses made of tree stumps. The tribesmen were walking back and forth in the tribe, not knowing what they were doing. When they saw Duke, they all greeted him politely.
Say hello.
"This is it, the clan leader is inside." Duke stopped and said. Lin Li looked up at the house in front of him. It was only slightly larger than other houses in the tribe. The style was the same simple, and the door still stood.
There is a wooden statue that looks somewhat similar to Duke, except that its two horns are complete.
"Squeak!" Duke pushed open the door of the patriarch's house and led Lin Li in.
The whole house exuded a woody, moldy smell. There was a huge animal skin on the floor, and there were huge teeth that looked like some kind of monster hanging on the wall.
Lin Li watched a bushwalker who looked exactly like Duke pacing back and forth in the room.
"Brother, look who I brought here." Duke shouted as soon as he entered the room. Lin Li thought that the clan leader was Duke's eldest brother. No wonder the two looked so similar. It seemed that the clansmen in these tribes respected him.
This is also the reason for Duke.
"Huh? Who is this?" The clan leader looked at the unfamiliar face of Lin Li and asked doubtfully.
"Brother, this is the adventurer who came to us from the outside world and was met by Hodge and his friends when they were hunting today." Duke said excitedly.
"Adventurers from the outside world?" Upon hearing Duke's words, the clan leader rushed to Lin Li in one swift step, shaking off the dust on the roof.
Lin Li's height could only reach the chest of the clan leader. The clan leader lowered his head in front of Lin Li, looked at Lin Li carefully, and said excitedly: "Are you really an adventurer? We have been waiting for generations, and finally you are here.
."
"Why do you keep waiting for me? What benefits will my arrival bring to you?" Lin Li looked at these jungle walkers who were extremely excited when they saw his arrival. He was very confused and didn't know what he could do.
What benefits does it bring to them?
"That's right, sir, the prophecy left by our ancestors said that when the adventurers arrive, our suffering will end." The patriarch looked at Lin Li and said excitedly, with the light of hope still shining in his eyes.
Lin Li looked at the excited patriarch and Duke, thinking that he was too embarrassed to attack them, let alone solve their suffering. Now he didn't know how to leave this ghost place.
"I wonder if the patriarch has heard about the existence of a key in this forest?" Lin Li asked. It is more important to find it first and then leave here. He can't stay here for too long. He doesn't want to imagine these jungle walks.
The same person has been trapped here...
"Key? What key?" The clan leader looked at Lin Li doubtfully after hearing Lin Li's words.
Hearing the clan leader's words, Lin Li couldn't help but feel a very ominous premonition in his heart, and asked again: "Did any legends, prophecies or other things left by your ancestors not mention the existence of a key?"
"Huh?" The patriarch still looked at Lin Li with a puzzled look, and then he seemed to have thought of something. He turned and ran to the corner of the room, brought a box, and began to jingle and rummage around, throwing various items out.
