There was no movement among the bushes. It was as if Shu Xingbei was suspicious of what he just said.
Shu Xingbei stood there, holding the black knife tightly and looking coldly.
After waiting for a while, I saw Shu Xingbei suddenly leap forward, the black knife in his hand flashed with a shocking black light, and he was slashing towards a position in the jungle.
"Stop, stop, stop," a voice said timidly, "Don't kill us, don't."
Shu Xingbei's eyes flashed, he retracted the black knife, and shouted coldly: "Since you are afraid of death, why don't you come out quickly?"
"We're out," a voice replied weakly.
Shu Xingbei looked around and saw no one around, and was even more surprised. Could it be that someone could become invisible?
"You, look below," the voice said again.
Shu Xingbei looked down subconsciously and saw three people standing in front of him, yes, three people. The three of them looked exactly like humans, but they were too short. The tallest one was only one meter. The shortest one
, at most fifty centimeters.
The three dwarfs look the same as humans. The difference lies in their size and skin color. The skin color of all three people is green.
"Who are you?" Shu Xingbei asked after hesitation.
"Outsiders, we also want to ask you this question," replied the shortest dwarf. He looked the oldest, with a forehead full of wrinkles and a mustache on his chin.
"I'm from the outer sea," Shu Xingbei didn't say that he was from the mainland. After all, he didn't have a place to live in the mainland.
"Outer Sea?" The old dwarf looked up at Shu Xingbei blankly, nodded and replied, "Foreigners, I can see that you are not lying. But we have never been to the Outer Sea. Can you tell me where it is?"
Is now the time to talk about this issue? Shu Xingbei stared at the fiery red fruit, and finally withdrew his gaze. If he wanted to kill these three dwarfs, there would be absolutely no problem.
However, Shu Xingbei was not bloodthirsty, and he had no grudge against the dwarfs. Even if they were driving the beetles, Shu Xingbei thought it was normal. From what they said, it could be judged that this area was probably the territory of the dwarfs.
For safety reasons, Shu Xingbei did not put away the black knife, but still held it in his hand.
"The continent at the foot of the Nanshan Mountain continues to the south, which is the outer sea, and it is endless. The continent and Nanshan Mountain are probably the last land and mountains on the entire planet," Shu Xingbei sighed.
"It's so far away," the tall dwarf sighed, "outsider, what are you doing here? Do you want to invade our territory?"
Shu Xingbei was almost amused. Is there such a question?
If I really came to invade your territory, would I tell you directly?
"I have no intention of invading your territory. I just want to pick some fruits," Shu Xingbei looked at the fiery red fruits again.
The old dwarf thought for a long time and then said: "Outsiders, you can't be too greedy. You have sent people here before, learned the art of witchcraft from us, and swore never to come again. But this time, you
Here we go again."
The art of witchcraft? Shu Xingbei's heart was beating wildly. Could it be said that Cheng Yongsheng learned the art of witchcraft from this group of people? No, the time is not right.
The red lady all knows that Cheng Yongsheng has learned the art of witchcraft. If Cheng Yongsheng really learned the art of witchcraft here, it means that Cheng Yongsheng has been here at least a few years ago. Why bother pretending to be a company?
What if the way is blocked by Han Lake?
For a moment, Shu Xingbei had mixed thoughts.
"I can assure you that I have absolutely no intention of invading your territory. If possible, could you introduce your situation to me? Also, what is the surname of the person who learned the art of witchcraft?" Shu
Xingbei said seriously.
The old dwarf told a younger dwarf: "Go over and pick two red-core fruits for him."
"Yes, patriarch," the young dwarf nodded.
The old dwarf looked at Shu Xingbei seriously, "If you want to know more about the situation, I have a Gu worm in my hand. If you dare to eat it, I will tell you. If you don't want to, just take the red core fruit with you.
, Wherever you come from, go back to where you came from.”
Eat a worm?
Shu Xingbei was startled. His first reaction was to refuse. When he was about to speak, his eyes caught a look of joking in the eyes of the old patriarch.
To be honest, Shu Xingbei is still very worried about Cheng Yongsheng's witchcraft. Although he doesn't know what witchcraft is, the unknown is the scariest thing.
"Okay. In order to express my sincerity and believe that the clan leader will not harm me, I agreed," Shu Xingbei's expression became serious.
bet.
This is really a big gamble.
If he loses the bet, Shu Xingbei's life and death will be decided by others. If he wins the bet, he can gain the other party's trust and hope to learn the true status of the witchcraft.
"You, you agreed?" The clan leader was stunned when he heard Shu Xingbei agreed. How could this be possible? He could conclude that the person in front of him didn't know the art of witchcraft at all. Even if he did, he was a proficient witchcraft person.
It is impossible for a person who is skilled in the art of voodoo to take another voodoo master's voodoo.
If you do that, the risk is too great. Each Gu Master has a different method of refining Gu worms, and the method of driving Gu worms is also different. Besides, even if you know that the other party's ability to control Gu worms is higher than that of the other party, you want to control the Gu worms in your body.
It is not an easy task to drive out the poisonous insects.
"To show my sincerity, I gave my life to the clan leader. I have absolutely no desire for the nobles, and I will not harm anyone in the nobles," Shu Xingbei said sincerely.
The old patriarch didn't say anything immediately, and the look of shock on his face didn't dissipate for a long time.
He was still thinking, determining gains and losses.
Shu Xingbei didn't rush him. Although he didn't understand the art of witchcraft, he was not a vegetarian when the other party threatened his life.
Shu Xingbei believed that he could catch the old patriarch by surprise before the other party took his life.
The old patriarch seemed to have figured out the crux of the problem, and a smile appeared on his face, "You dare to take the poisonous insects I raised, I can say that you are really the first person I have met. Outsider, your sincerity touches me, please
Come with us and enter the clan."
With that said, the old patriarch made a gesture of invitation to Shu Xingbei.
Although the other two dwarfs were curious about the change in the patriarch's attitude, they did not express any objection.
"Nobles, what clan are they from?" Shu Xingbei put away the black knife and asked curiously.
"We are the Wood Elf clan. There are only seventy-two people left in the clan. The cold lake in the south and the ice cave in the north have restricted our livelihood. Our clan used to be huge, with more than two thousand people," the old clan leader replied.
road.
At the most, there were only more than 2,000 people. Is this called huge? Shu Xingbei was almost amused.
However, he had never heard of the wood elves before. This race must have been isolated from the outside world and lacked understanding of the number of humans outside.
The old patriarch led Shu Xingbei toward the bushes through the forest. After going three kilometers deep, Shu Xingbei saw tree houses built on the bushes. The houses were small, with a dark appearance, and looked like they were ancient and vicissitudes of life.
Feel.
In addition, Shu Xingbei can also smell the mixed smell of herbs.
The four of them were walking along the path in the forest. From the treehouses in various places, wood elves walked out, including men, women, old and young. They all looked at Shu Xingbei with curious eyes.
The clan leader led Shu Xingbei to the wood elf clan's meeting hall. He invited Shu Xingbei to sit down and ordered tea to be prepared.
"Clan leader, you're welcome. I understand the situation and will leave immediately," Shu Xingbei said.
"My Gu told me that you are a young man and are proficient in psychology, right?" The old patriarch looked at Shu Xingbei sharply.
"Yes," Shu Xingbei was secretly surprised. He didn't know how the Gu insect sensed his age and ability. However, since he was discovered, he did not hide it.
Shu Xingbei rubbed his face and stretched his bones. Soon, a young man with a handsome face appeared in front of the old patriarch.
"You are indeed a young man. Your ability is comparable to our tribe's Insect Gu Disguise Technique," the old patriarch sat on the chair and nodded slightly.
"Gu insects can also make people disguise themselves?" Shu Xingbei was even more surprised.
"We, the wood elves, worship the Gu God. The Gu insects raised in every household are the people of the Gu God, and we are the servants of the Gu God. The abilities of the Gu insects are given by the great Gu God. No matter it is
Fighting and detecting danger are all abilities given by the Gu God, and disguise is just one of them," the old patriarch explained.
Shu Xingbei caught a few key words. This made him realize that among the wood elves, the Gu God's status was definitely the highest. The position of the Gu worm seemed to be higher than that of the wood elves.
"The person who came to the clan last time to learn the art of witchcraft and Gu, what was his name and what did he look like?" Shu Xingbei asked this question again.
"He is much older than you. As for his name, he said his name is Cheng Yongsheng," the old patriarch replied.
Shu Xingbei jumped up from his chair in shock.
It’s really Cheng Yongsheng.
"He came here many years ago, right?" Shu Xingbei asked.
"Let me calculate, it has been fifteen years. At that time, there was no Hanhu Lake in the south, and we wood elves could still go out to hunt," the old patriarch sighed.
Shu Xingbei was stunned.
Fifteen years ago, there was no Han Lake in this area. In other words, was Han Lake formed later?
What caused such a large lake to form outside?
"Young man, you are very honest and easier to believe than that Cheng Yongsheng. Now, can you tell me how you crossed the cold lake and got here?"
"Me?" Shu Xingbei told the old patriarch the truth. He even told the plan of the four major forces to dig up the cold lake to divert water and drain water.
The old patriarch sighed deeply, "There are so many people here on the other side of the cold lake. No wonder, no wonder, these days, my natal Gu has been giving warnings. It turns out that there is really a big danger coming."
The old patriarch said, frowning.
"What should we do?" The old patriarch didn't know what to do for a while.
