In the center of the tribe, there is a quite open space, where there is a raised altar with a radius of three feet, which is made of some kind of black boulder.|
The three of them stopped in front of the huge tent facing the altar. A middle-aged barbarian wearing a black cloak with thick eyebrows and a square face was already standing there.
Sha Jiao and Sha Xing got off their horses and ran quickly towards the middle-aged barbarian. The middle-aged barbarian hugged the two of them and patted them hard on the back, and then the three of them started talking softly.
Soon Shi Mu saw that the middle-aged barbarians began to look at him frequently and at Si Buxiang behind him, and understood that they must be saying that he had saved Sha Xing and Sha Jiao and subdued Si Buxiang.
Sure enough, not long after they ended their conversation, the middle-aged barbarian strode towards him. Under his thick black eyebrows, his smiling eyes quickly looked at Shi Mu.
Suddenly, his expression changed imperceptibly, and then returned to normal.
"This is Sharon, the leader of the Tengya Tribe. Dear Warrior Warrior, thank you for saving my children." The square-faced middle-aged barbarian put one hand on his chest and bowed sincerely.
On the way here, Shi Mu had already learned that Shalang was not only the priest of this small tribe, but also the leader of the clan. He was the leader of the three totem warriors in the clan, and he probably had the strength of the mid-term acquired.
"Patriarch, you don't have to be so polite!" Shi Mu smiled faintly, stretched out his right hand and gently helped the other person up.
Sharon glanced at Shi Mu in surprise. Just now, he felt an irresistible force coming from Shi Mu's hand, and then he couldn't help but stand up straight.
It seems that what Sha Xing just said about the other party's amazing power is indeed not a lie.
"Warrior Shepherd, I wonder if you have any mission when you come here. Our Tengya Department is willing to help you." Sharon said cheerfully.
"Thank you Clan Chief for your kindness. I am leaving the tribe just for personal training and to increase my experience. There is no special goal." Shi Mu shook his head and said.
"In that case, Warrior Shepherd, why don't you stay in my Tengya tribe for a few more days, so that I can show my friendship as a landlord." Sharon smiled. Then he took another look at Shi Mu's dusty clothes and said:
"By the way, the shepherd warriors have experienced a lot of wind and sand along the way, so why not go to the tent and wash up first."
"Thank you very much, Chief Sha!" Shi Mu did not refuse and nodded directly.
He hadn't washed his body for a long time since he entered the barbarian wasteland, and he had sweated a lot in today's battle with Si Buxiang. It was sticky and uncomfortable.
Shalang's face was filled with joy, and he called a tribesman to take Shi Mu's four elephants to the river to drink water. Then he personally led Shi Mu to an exquisite cowhide tent not far away.
The best tent outside the residence.
Sha Xing and Sha Jiao also followed behind the two of them. Sha Jiao looked a little weird. Although the Teng Yao tribe was warm and hospitable, she vaguely felt that her father was extremely enthusiastic towards Shi Mu today, and there seemed to be a bit of respect between her eyebrows.
color.
After a while, Shi Mu stood alone in the cowhide tent. At this time, Sharon and others had left. He took off all the weapons on his body and placed them on the table.
It didn't take long for two strong barbarians to carry in a large wooden bucket filled with hot and cold water. After the two went out, Shi Mu quickly took off his clothes and lay down comfortably in it.
At the same time, in the tent where the patriarch was, Sharon was answering questions from his children.
"Father, you are the clan leader of our Tengya Tribe, and you are also the sacrificial priest of the clan. Why are you so respectful to the warrior warriors?" Sha Jiao looked at her father and asked in confusion.
Sha Xing on the side also had a curious look on his face.
"Jiao'er, Xing'er, your experience is too shallow. It's normal not to notice. The identity of the warrior warrior is actually very noble. He is probably a member of the royal family who came out for a trial from a large tribe." Sharon looked at him lovingly.
A pair of children, a trace of guilt flashed in their eyes.
He knew in his heart that the talents of the two children, Shaxing and Shajiao, were not bad. If they were in other tribes with better conditions, and had the opportunity to go out and experience killing ferocious beasts, they would have long been expected to become totem warriors.
It's a pity that he is only a junior priest, and the warriors are not very strong, so he does not have the ability to turn them into totem warriors now.
"Children of the royal family?" Sha Xing and Sha Jiao looked surprised.
"That's right. After close contact just now, I can sense that the power of the beast soul sealed in the warrior warrior is very powerful, far beyond what ordinary small tribes or ordinary barbarians can possess. In addition, he not only has the power of mid-level witchcraft
The mana fluctuates, and there are many low-level witchcraft. A small tribe like our Tengya tribe does not even have a low-level witchcraft. Most of the tribe members have never seen a witchcraft, so his origin must not be
Generally. On the other hand, the strength of the Shepherd Warrior is also quite terrifying. According to my estimation, all the totem warriors in our clan combined may not be his opponent." Sharon said with emotion on his face.
When Sha Jiao and Sha Xing heard what their father said, their faces showed shock, especially Sha Jiao's eyes, which looked a little sad.
After a stick of incense.
At this time, Shi Mu had already finished taking a bath and was chatting happily with a dozen Tengya tribe members outside the cowhide tent.
The barbarians from the Tengya tribe were very enthusiastic about the guests brought back by Sha Jiao and Sha Xing, and tried their best to invite Shi Mu to taste their homemade milk wine, cheese and other products.
These things are considered quite luxurious food in this small and not wealthy tribe. All of this once again made Shi Mu feel the kind and loyal side of ordinary barbarians.
Shi Mu actually wanted to take the opportunity to learn some survival skills in the wilderness from these barbarians, so under his careful guidance, most of the people's topics naturally revolved around the places that he was extremely interested in.
Soon, he learned a lot about finding water sources and how to deal with poisonous insects and ferocious beasts.
But in return, Shi Mu also taught these barbarians how to fish.
He is a seaside fisherman, so he is naturally very proficient in fishing. He only used some very simple tools to catch a lot of fish and shrimps in the nearby river.
The rare delicacies in the river made the barbarians who like to live by the water but are not familiar with water dance excitedly, and the atmosphere between the two parties became more harmonious for a while.
That night, in Sharon's big tent.
A fat sheep was roasted to golden brown on one side of the tent, and the alluring fragrance filled the entire tent. A smiling Sharon sat on the main seat in the middle of the tent.
Siblings Shi Mu and Sha Jiao sat on his left hand side, eating and chatting. On his right hand side, two barbarian men about thirty years old sat, their mouths full of oil as they ate, and drank from large bowls from time to time.
Shi Mu took a bite of the mutton and glanced at the two barbarian men opposite.
One of them has golden curly hair, and the other is dressed in standard barbarian attire, with braided hair, a gold ring in his right ear, and a vicious black crow tattooed on his open chest.
They are the only two totem warriors of the Tengcrow Clan, and they both only have the strength of the early stages of life.
Through conversations with tribal barbarians in the afternoon, Shi Mu also learned a fact indirectly.
That is, the barbarians are actually divided into two categories: ferocious barbarians and barbarians. Barbarians are cruel and murderous. They like to plunder and annex other tribes, and even launch aggressive wars against human beings, which they call "holy wars" and are highly respected.
The plain barbarians are mostly gentle and hospitable. However, due to the weak bloodline of giants, it is more difficult for ferocious barbarians to produce totem warriors and their strength is relatively weak. They usually make a living by herding and hunting, and the Tengcrow tribe falls into this category.
tribe.
This is why there are only three totem warriors in this small tribe of three to four hundred people.
In addition, Shi Mu also discovered a strange thing, that is, at today's dinner, everyone seemed to be quite respectful to him, and even Sha Jiao and his brother seemed a little reserved when talking to him.
However, he didn't plan to stay in this tribe for a long time, so he didn't care about it.
It's just that Shi Mu has been thinking about the Fierce Snake Tribe and doesn't know how to speak, so he seems a little uninterested.
Seeing that everyone was almost full of wine and food, Sharon clapped his hands, and a group of about ten female barbarians filed in. Amidst the monotonous drumbeats, they began to dance primitive dances for fun.
"Chief Sha, what are painted on your totem are the black crows we saw during the day?" Shi Mu asked, looking at the crow totems on the aprons of these female barbarians.
"That's true for now. Although these crows are a low-level ferocious beast in the wasteland, they are superior in numbers. Not only are they as fast as lightning when swooping, but their sharp beaks are as strong as knives and spears. When they form a group,
Ordinary totem warriors are no match at all." Sharon nodded and talked eloquently.
This kind of crow is indeed magical, but according to Shi Mu's estimation, it can only deal with some totem warriors in the early and middle stages of the day after tomorrow, and the number must reach a certain scale.
"Could it be that your tribe's previous totem was not a crow?" Shi Mu's eyes flashed, and he seemed to hear another meaning from the other party's words.
"According to the records in the ancient books handed down from our clan, our Tengya tribe belonged to a large tribe a thousand years ago - the Golden Crow tribe. The totem secret technique inherited can not only seal the souls of ferocious beasts like crows, but can also seal the souls of all creatures.
Most of the birds and beasts." Sharon said with a flash of pride in his eyes.
"It's just that after wars and migrations, the tribe gradually fell apart and declined day by day. For example, our Tengya tribe has not been able to produce powerful sacrifices for so many years, so it has been unable to seal powerful beast souls, and there is no hope for the tribe's revival.
It’s getting more and more slim.” Sharon said this with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
The two siblings, Sha Xing and Sha Jiao, were also in a depressed mood, and Shi Mu was not able to interact with them for a while.
After a while, seeing that the mood of Sharon and his daughter had improved, Shi Mu slowly spoke and finally asked the question he was most concerned about.
"I once saw a blood-red python totem, and the sealed beast soul was extremely powerful. Could it be that your tribe's totem secret technique can also seal similar powerful beast souls?" Shi Mu asked.
"If there are powerful enough sacrifices, it is certainly possible. You know, during the heyday of our clan, even the legendary Dapeng Golden Wings was successfully sealed. By the way, the tribesman that the warrior warrior mentioned,
Is your skin blue?" Sharon said, suddenly thinking of something, and asked in a different direction.
"Not bad." Shi Mu thought for a while and nodded.
"If I guess correctly, that is the unique totem of the Fierce Snake Tribe among the eight barbarian tribes!" Sharon's face changed slightly and he said in a positive tone.
"Master Patriarch, if I want to go to the Fierce Snake Tribe for training, do you know how to get there?" Shi Mu's eyes lit up and he asked directly without hesitation.
Although Sharon was a little surprised by Shi Mu's courage, he didn't ask any more questions and directly told Shi Mu the location of the Fierce Snake Tribe.
Shi Mu was naturally overjoyed after hearing this, and in a good mood, he chatted with Sha Jiao and the others while eating until late at night, before the guests and the host left happily.
……………………
Shi Mu encountered a bottleneck in his practice and could not make any progress in his skills. If things continued like this, he would not be able to fulfill the promise of Tianyin Girl, and he was extremely anxious.
One night in his dream, he transformed into a white ape again and appeared in front of the long-browed old man.
Bai Yuan: Master, Master, I have encountered a bottleneck in my practice. Is there anything you can do?
The old man with long eyebrows: There are three treasures to break through the bottleneck.
White Ape: I wonder which three treasures it is?
Old Man with Long Eyebrows: No need to ask, of course it’s clicks, recommendations and monthly votes!
White Ape: Which of the three treasures is the most important?
The old man with long eyebrows: Come here.
Bai Yuan leaned over and heard the old man's voice:
"Of course it's a monthly ticket! Only with more monthly tickets can you successfully advance to Innate, marry the Tianyin girl, and reach the pinnacle of martial arts from then on!"
Bai Yuan: Thank you for your teaching, master. I'm afraid I'll forget it as soon as I wake up from the dream...
Old Man with Long Eyebrows: I give you two magic weapons, "Subscription" and "Vote". As long as these two treasures are blessed by all living beings, they will definitely make you invincible in the three realms!
Dear fellow Taoists, please give Shi Mu a helping hand. It is very mentally demanding to maintain quality and speed at the same time. Wangyu only relies on monthly tickets to replenish blood and restore mana. Thank you all! (To be continued.)
