The moment he walked into the mountain gate, Chen Mo felt as if he had arrived in a paradise.
Various antique wooden villages are built against the mountains. The villages are surrounded by running water and spiritual plants in the center. The tribesmen wear different clothes, including more modern clothes and linen shirts.
At this moment, they are generally busy, probably preparing for the Thunder God Ceremony in the evening.
Moreover, the Thunder Dragon Tribe was much larger than Chen Mo imagined. At a glance, he could see hundreds of wooden villages.
This is at least a tribe of a thousand people.
"Your tribe is quite big."
"Of course! This area near Leilong Mountain is our territory, and we also have a dedicated Spiritual Beast Garden and Spiritual Medicine Garden!"
The little loli Suzuran said with some pride.
"Uncle Liu, Sister Yun, I will take you to where you live first, and then I will show you around our village!"
Suzuran continued, her voice very clear and sweet.
"Don't worry, girl, I want to ask if Elder Ao Qing is here?"
Liu Guoan asked.
The leader of the Thunder Dragon tribe is the high priest, followed by the leader and the nine elders.
The person responsible for connecting with Hongmeng Company is the Ninth Elder Ao Qing mentioned by Liu Guoan.
"Elder Ao seems to be in the Spiritual Beast Garden. I will take you to find him."
Soon, Suzulan led everyone to a small forest.
This is the spirit beast garden of the Thunder Dragon Tribe, where a large number of spirit beasts live, similar to the breeding base on Blue Star.
In a village building at the entrance of the Spiritual Beast Garden, two white-haired old men were drinking tea and chatting.
One of them is Elder Ao Qing.
Seeing Liu Guoan, he hurriedly came out to greet him. Obviously this was not the first time the two had traded.
Chen Mo secretly glanced at the exchange materials between the two parties, and then felt that Hongmeng Company should be hung on a street lamp.
Black, really too dark.
What Hongmeng Company provides to the tribe is nothing more than some ordinary daily necessities, such as mirrors, clothes, food, etc.
What Ao Qing gave to Hongmeng Company were precious resources such as spirit beast crystal cores, wild ginseng, thunder iron ore, and purple thunder bamboo.
No wonder their escort fees are so high!
After completing the company's mission, Linglan led everyone to a village halfway up the mountain.
The village is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side. It is very transparent and dry. There are exactly 5 rooms in it.
Each of the five people chose a room.
"Chirp~"
The little fox jumped off Chen Mo's shoulder and looked at all the new things in the room.
Whether it is a bed, a wicker chair, or a washing area, they are all made of natural wood or vines, giving you a feeling of returning to nature.
I'm used to living in big beds in companies, but now I feel like I'm traveling in a purely natural wooden village.
"Woo~"
Seeing the blazing fox running around, Xinghai in Canghai's heart felt a little envious.
Another day I wish I could become smaller.
ヽ(￣д￣;)ノ
"Don't worry, just wait until I write a mini entry."
Chen Mo comforted him.
"Woo——"
Because they had traveled all day and the village was too big, it was only 4 or 5 hours before the festival started, so everyone in the team chose to go back to their rooms to rest.
Chen Mo took out his tablet and prepared to watch the previously downloaded movie with Xiaojiu and Xinghai.
By the way, check out the duration of [Internet Addicted Boy].
On the way here, Chen Mo spent most of his time playing fruit ninja, defending radish and other mini-games. He has been playing for quite a while now.
Soon, night falls.
Two bright moons hang high in the sky, emitting bright light.
"The festival is about to begin, everyone, come with me!"
Linglan came to the village and called everyone.
Under the leadership of Ling Lan, Chen Mo and others walked along the mountain road toward the interior of Leilong Mountain, and finally came to a giant mountain gate guarded by two huge rocks.
"We're here!"
After entering the mountain gate, Chen Mo was completely shocked by the scene before him.
The first thing that catches the eye is a towering ancient tree that is tens of meters thick and hundreds of meters high. The ancient branches are so lush that even if you look up, you can't see the top of the tree.
In the night, this huge ancient tree exudes a blue-purple light, like a dream. Under the light of the torch, you can see that the bark of the ancient tree exudes a purple metallic luster, like dragon scales.
Countless people held torches and surrounded the ancient tree layer by layer. At this moment, they were singing loudly in a strange language, or dancing with their own spiritual beasts. The atmosphere was very lively.
In addition, there are many rectangular wooden tables around the ancient tree, with a variety of fruits and delicacies placed on them.
"Chirp!"
The firelight illuminated Xiaojiu's eyes, and the little guy was also infected by this atmosphere.
"so beautiful!"
The two girls in the team said unconsciously.
"This is the ceremony to welcome the gods, the festival has already begun!"
Suzuran said excitedly.
The Thunder Dragon Festival happens once a year and she has experienced it many times. This day is the most important day of the year for the Thunder Dragon tribe.
Chen Mo scanned the ancient tree in the center with his spiritual master bracelet, but a series of question marks appeared on the screen.
So I had to ask the little loli next to me:
"Lily of the Valley, is this ancient tree also a spiritual beast?"
"Well, this is the ancient dragon soul tree, the sacred tree of our tribe. Thousands of years ago, Lord Thunder Dragon rested here and was transformed by its dragon soul and spirit."
"Is the legend true?"
Chen Mo couldn't help but think of the legend about Thunder Bluff he had seen before.
"This is not a legend, but history. Lord Thunder Dragon is not dead. In fact, we have been living on his body for so many years."
At this time, a calm voice came from behind everyone.
It is the high priest.
At this moment, she was still covered by black gauze, but the golden thunder dragon embroidery on the black robe was shining, as if it was coming to life.
Hearing this, Chen Mo was shocked. He couldn't help but think of the hundreds of thousands of mountains he saw when he looked down at Thunder Bluff from the sky when he passed through the secret realm.
If these hundreds of thousands of mountains were all the bodies of ancient thunder dragons, it would be a bit too scary!
His own body alone has given birth to a secret ecological realm where countless humans and spiritual beasts can survive.
It is impossible for a totem level spirit beast to reach this level!
Only the mythical level!
This ancient thunder dragon is a mythical creature!
"Since you are allowed to participate in the festival, these are no longer secrets for you."
The high priest continued:
"Thousands of years ago, our ancestor, the Thunder Emperor, and his spiritual beast Thunder Dragon fought fiercely here against the evil gods from another world. Although the Thunder Dragon finally defeated the evil gods from other worlds, he himself was exhausted.
, he fell here and slept forever. And he used his body seal to permanently seal the evil god."
"The Thunder Emperor accompanied the Thunder Dragon here until the end of his life. After the Thunder Emperor passed away, we descendants followed the ancient precepts and have been protecting him here."
"The Thunder Dragon Festival is a ceremony to worship the Thunder Emperor and the Thunder Dragon, and hope that they can bless future generations."
After the high priest finished speaking, he slowly walked towards the ancient dragon soul tree in the center.
On the way, all members of the Thunder Dragon Tribe, including the clan leader, bowed their heads slightly to show respect.
"The festival begins!"
The high priest walked to an altar more than ten meters away from the Dragon Soul Ancient Tree, then raised his arms and shouted.
