Traveling through the infinite wasteland

The sun slowly rises from the horizon, rendering the earth a fiery red. The weather in the morning is particularly cool and pleasant. It is the most comfortable moment of the day. After a while, when the sun has basically risen, the temperature will drop. will rise rapidly;

Zheng Yuanqing got out of the shack and stretched out greatly. The scenery of the desert, especially in the morning, was quite gorgeous, and people couldn't help but want to stretch their emotions;

Zheng Yuanqing turned to look at the little black man sitting listlessly on the ground, and couldn't help but smile. This little guy must have tried to escape at night, and sleeping in the car was Li Lali, who was as sensitive as a beast;

Of course, his little move was hidden from Li Lali, and it was difficult for Li Lali to sleep on the big couch. If she was disturbed by his crackling, she would definitely not be in a better mood. Since she was in a bad mood Yes, it is inevitable that he will teach you a lesson now;

They ate breakfast in a hurry and took the little black man to find his tribe. Even though there were some difficulties in communication, the little black man roughly guessed what Zheng Yuanqing meant from his gestures; the resistance was fruitless. Unable to escape, he had no choice but to lead Zheng Yuanqing's entire team into the mountains with a look of dissatisfaction and helplessness;

The mountains in the desert area were bare and bare, with rocks everywhere and only a few drought-resistant desert shrubs. Zheng Yuanqing's entire team was walking around in the mountains, and Qin Yan was jumping around at first. He seemed extremely excited, but after walking around for an hour, he became as dejected as a defeated rooster;

Zheng Yuanqing looked at the satellite tracking system in his palm and felt that after circling a mountain peak five times, he finally determined that he had been tricked by the little black man; he smiled and walked up to the black man. ;.Kicked him to the ground. Then he stepped on one of his hands. As he screamed in fear, he took out a dagger and cut off a little finger on his hand;

The black man fought desperately in pain, but Li Lali had no choice but to step on his back with a big foot. No matter how hard he fought, his body remained motionless. Zheng Yuanqing sneered and stood up. He told him with gestures that if he could not find their tribe again, he would bleed to death;

The severe pain and the shadow of death finally made the little black man become honest. He held his head in silence, covered his severed finger, and led Zheng Yuanqing's entire team onto a small road; this time, the situation was much smoother. There were clearly traces of many small roads on the ground, which were traced by thousands of years of people. The paths forged by long-term human activities indicate that people often move around this place;

Sure enough, after climbing over a small hill, a small village appeared in front of them. The village was not very big. At a glance, there were only more than 19 households. The shacks were all built with stones. Get up. It was then sealed with earth, and the roof was paved with branches and thatch;

This place is a desert area. There is no thatch at all. If you want to find thatch, you need to go to the wilderness more than 19 kilometers away to cut it. They have no transportation at all, but it will take them five to five days to get there.

Zheng Yuanqing sneered after looking at it, and escorted the little black man into the village. The people in the village looked at Zheng Yuanqing's whole team and looked like they were coming with bad intentions. They walked out of the broken house one by one, howling like ghosts, most of them. The men were painted with white plaster stripes one by one, covering their original appearance; they wore skirts made of feathers, hats and hats made of feathers, and held a diamond-shaped defensive shield made of rattan in one hand. Holding the spear, he surrounded Zheng Yuanqing and others while shouting in a language that Zheng Yuanqing and the others did not understand;

Zheng Yuanqing looked at the people around him who were pointing spears at them, and sneered contemptuously. Even though Li Lali was a little bit stupid as a biochemical intelligent programmer, stupidity has its advantages. Why was he following Zheng Yuanqing? He doesn't care about anything and only pays attention to Zheng Yuanqing's movements;

As soon as he saw Zheng Yuanqing's contemptuous sneer, his eyes immediately turned cold, and then he took a step forward. At this moment, his claws sharper than daggers popped out from his fingertips, and then he volleyed like this With one sweep, three scratches visible to the naked eye flew towards them;

But there was a soft "chi" sound, and a sound like cutting flesh passed through them, and then there was a burst of heart-rending screams among them; the natives who surrounded Zheng Yuanqing's entire team stood far away The seven people closest to Zheng Yuanqing were caught by him, and their bodies were immediately cut into five pieces and scattered on the ground. Bone fragments, blood, and broken internal organs were scattered all over the ground, splashing all over the people around them. ;

All the people who belonged to them were frightened. They surrounded Zheng Yuanqing and others, neither advancing nor retreating. The feeling of fear tortured them so much that they wanted to collapse;

The natives were so frightened that they didn't know what to do. Zheng Yuanqing was also worried that he had no way to communicate with them and couldn't get what he wanted. Now when the two sides are still in a stalemate, just At this moment, a loud shout came from behind them;

But he saw that they all retreated to both sides after hearing that voice. The original frightened expressions on their faces disappeared in an instant. Some of them had only respect and admiration. Of course, the person who came here had a high position in this tribe; Zheng Yuanqing was slightly Narrowing his eyes, he saw a stooped old man slowly walking in with the support of two young women;

The old man is very old. The wrinkles on his face can be said to be wrinkled together, and his steps are slightly shaky. He wears a wooden crutch and wears clothes made of bright feathers. His weak but shining eyes are basically Without even looking at the broken corpses on the ground, he slowly walked straight up to Zheng Yuanqing;

In a primitive tribe like this, the leader of the tribe is usually the strongest warrior in the tribe, and it is impossible for someone as old as this old man to be the leader; but looking at the way other natives respect him, of course, in His position in the tribe is not low. Since he is not the leader, he should be a spiritual leader such as a wizard;

He stood firmly in front of Zheng Yuanqing, without any fear at all. The people he belonged to in this tribe were already short. In addition, he seemed to be shorter as he was older and stooped; he tried to stand up straighter. Even if the voice of speech is not high. But it was sonorous and powerful. He asked Zheng Yuanqing in fluent English: "You, a foreigner, why did you come to our tribe and kill my children? I am the wizard of our tribe, Chelu;"

Zheng Yuanqing pointed at the surrounding natives who were still pointing their spears at him, smiled slightly and said in English: "Hello, respected wizard. I am the king from the far east, Zheng Yuanqing; your child has offended me, my The guards only gave them a little lesson, and if they offend me next, I don't mind giving them another lesson that they will never forget;"

The old wizard's expression changed slightly when he heard Zheng Yuanqing's words. He really didn't expect that Zheng Yuanqing could be so confident after killing someone;

It's a pity that Zheng Yuanqing said that he was a king. From this point of view, the old wizard still believed him, with his compelling aura and his unruly attitude of not putting anything in his eyes. In addition, there is the terrifying power of the guards around him. Most of these things prove his extraordinary status;

He is certainly a king. Not only that, his power is not small. Small forces do not have the manpower or resources to cultivate such powerful warriors. His power may even be greater than that of the UK where he studied abroad when he was young. big;

Each of them is so tyrannical. Except for the gypsy woman, even the terrifying power of the delicate oriental beauty is enough to wipe out their entire tribe by one person; especially the king from the east, Zheng Yuanqing. , the old wizard always felt that there was a very obscure power hidden in his body. This power could not be sensed by ordinary people, but it made the old wizard feel a fear that had not appeared for a long time;

The old wizard thought of this and did not do anything. He turned around and said something to the natives. However, he saw that most of the natives put away their weapons and retreated in an orderly manner, and went back to their own places. ; Even though 7 of them died, most of the natives were not dissatisfied with the old wizard's orders at all, which shows the position of the old wizard in their hearts;

After watching most of the natives leave, the old wizard turned to look at Zheng Yuanqing, forced a smile and said: "Everyone, please go sit in my broken house first. Since you have come to our tribe, then They are the guests of our tribe;”

Before he finished speaking, he led Zheng Yuanqing's entire team to the largest dilapidated house in the center of the tribe. It was said to be big compared to the surrounding shacks, and the interior was only 19 square meters; It's a pity that the door of this shabby house is high enough to avoid the embarrassment of Shan Yue and Li Lali not being able to come in. Not only is it very empty inside, with no furnishings at all, but these two giants can still find a place to sit;

After everyone sat down, the old wizard smiled at Zheng Yuanqing and said: "Great King Zheng Yuanqing, don't you know why you came to our tribe? This place is so remote, it should not be a king like you. A place where I will set foot;"

When Zheng Yuanqing heard this, he smiled slightly, took out the steel plate and said to the old wizard: "We came to this place based on the prompt from above, looking for something lost by our ancestors;"

The old wizard's expression changed slightly when he looked at the steel plate, but it was covered up by his calm and carefulness after a short time. Unfortunately, most of his subtle expressions were completely eliminated by Zheng Yuan, who was looking at him carefully. in the eyes;

The old wizard chuckled and said: "I have lived in this place for more than 90 years, and I am the longest-lived person in our tribe. For more than 90 years, I have never heard of any treasures in our place; it is a pity that the great Zheng Yuanqing King, if you need help from our tribe, please tell me and I will do my best to help you. You see, the people of our tribe have been living nearby for so long, so there must be something that can be done. Where it helps you;"

When Zheng Yuanqing heard this, he nodded slightly with satisfaction. Then, his eyes were attracted by the various totems decorated in the dilapidated house, and then he asked the old wizard about the origin of the totems;

These totems are actually the beliefs of this tribe. As the human representative of the beliefs, the old wizard Cheru showed unprecedented kindness and began to introduce them to people like Zheng Yuanqing. One after another, the legends passed down from ancient times were One of them jumped out of his mouth vividly. It was as if he had passed by it himself;

Let’s talk about this. Before we knew it, it was time for lunch. But they saw about 11 young girls from the village bringing dry food to people like Zheng Yuanqing. The lunch was not very rich. Of course, looking at the poverty of the village and the expressions of the little girls secretly swallowing their saliva, this should be a rare opportunity for them. Delicious food at first sight;

The dinner plate is basically a small basket woven with rattan, containing some barbecued unknown animal meat, some wild fruits, and a few pieces of cake made with starch; indeed, in the barren desert area, these things are already A rare delicacy;

The old wizard entertained him kindly: "Comrades, we are guests from afar. For those of you who are accustomed to fine wine and rich grains, please try our tribe's special food. It's very simple. I hope you won't dislike it."

Even though there wasn't much barbecue in the small basket, the oil was shiny, the wild fruits were bright and attractive, and the cakes looked like dry food that could easily fill the stomach. Most of these things made people laugh. The appetite is whetted by the sight;

Now when they were about to have fun and eat delicious food, Li Lali sniffed hard, just then. He opened his mouth and said: "Master, this dry food is poisonous. The barbecue has been sprinkled with anesthetic, and this fruit is highly poisonous." Before he could finish speaking, he picked up the most colorful and attractive one inside. The red wild fruit was handed to Zheng Yuanqing;

Zheng Yuanqing took the wild fruit from Li Lali's hand, looked at it carefully, smiled softly and said: "Great Wizard Cheru is such a generous gift, it would be really rude if I didn't give you a little bit of gift in return. , go and kill half of the people who belong to their tribe;”

The old wizard's face changed slightly, and it was clear that the anger in his heart had reached its extreme, but after a short time he forcibly suppressed his anger, and then said in a very panic: "I'm sorry, the great Lord Zheng Yuanqing, Please believe me, these children must have misunderstood my meaning, we have no intention of harming you at all, please believe me;"

Hearing what the old wizard said, Zheng Yuan raised his hand softly and stopped Li Lali who was about to go out to kill people. He chuckled and said, "Okay, the game is over. I don't have time to talk to you any more; let's talk about the map. Don’t say you don’t know where the location shown above is. You can speak fluent English and you must have seen the world outside;

But then again, you, who have been through the bustling outside, don't say how well you have developed the tribe, but at least you won't live in this place where birds don't shit, right? You live here not because you want to live in this place, but because you, as a guardian clan, can’t leave, right?

My patience is very short. From now on, I will kill one person every minute. Seeing that there are almost 700 people in your tribe, you have 11 hours to think about it, but I think you will definitely not Did you think about it for so long? "

Hearing Zheng Yuanqing's words, the old wizard's face suddenly changed. He could no longer maintain the calm look of the general. He said eagerly: "The great King Zheng Yuanqing, I have lived for more than 90 years, and I have never been stupid at all. Have you heard what you said? We have been living in this place for generations. If there were, we would have escaped long ago;"

When Zheng Yuanqing heard this, he smiled softly and did not respond to his pleading. Instead, he whispered to Li Lali beside him: "Kill someone;"

Li Lali nodded slightly, and with a wave of her hand, a general exploded the head of the woman passing by the door into a ball of blood mist, with white brains, red blood, and dark muscle fragments splashing everywhere. A woman could not even scream before she straightened up and turned into a corpse;

A dead body with no head at all lay quietly on the ground, with a large amount of blood spurting from the wound. The natives who were peeking in this direction were all frightened, and they all hurriedly ran back to their broken houses. , the door closed with a "bang", but through the crack in the door you could vaguely see the eyes full of fear and hatred peeking out from inside;

Zheng Yuanqing turned a blind eye to most of what was going on outside. He kept looking at the old wizard with a faint smile. The old wizard also didn't look outside, but the noise coming from outside made him clearly understand what was happening outside. What;

Time passed by minute by second, and after a short time, one minute arrived. Zheng Yuanqing turned to Qin Yan sitting next to him and whispered: "Kill;"

Qin Yan got up excitedly and jumped up and down to the door humming a song. However, she stretched out her hand and pointed at a house not far away; at this moment, a fire dragon rose from her fingertips and roared. Then she rushed towards the small house she was pointing at, and there was a loud bang, exploding the moment the fire dragon hit the shack;

The house was immediately blown into pieces, and most of everything inside was still burning. At this time, there were three burning people inside who were still burning and ran out of the fire; Their whole bodies were burned, and the miserable screams made the entire tribe members shiver in their hearts. It was vaguely possible to see that among the three people, there was an old man, a man, and a woman. and two small children;

They ran in pain, rolling on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but the flames seemed to be attached to them. No matter why they were trapped in the beast fight, they were unable to extinguish it at all;

In this arid area, there was simply not enough water for the survivors to come to rescue. In this way, under the silent and sad gaze of all the tribesmen, the screams of the three people slowly subsided; the fire did not stop. There was no reason why it stopped because of their deaths. It was not until all the combustible things in their bodies were burned that the flames slowly extinguished, leaving only three skeletons that had been carbonized and blackened from top to bottom, and five places. The wafting smell of paste;

Zheng Yuanqing saw that the flames outside had subsided. He turned around and smiled at the old wizard and said, "Oh, I accidentally killed two more people. Three minutes have passed. That means, you Besides, you still have two minutes to think about it, you see, I am a very fair person, am I not?"

The old wizard was so angry that he burst into tears. He pointed at Zheng Yuanqing and cursed: "Okay, okay, okay, you devil, don't you want to go to Lord Age Liusu's tomb? I will take you there, and I curse you to be buried." The soul of Mr. Age Liusu is captured and made a slave for life;"

Before he finished speaking, the old wizard stood up tremblingly with the support of two women and walked out first. Zheng Yuanqing saw that he was finally willing to tell the secret that his tribe had been guarding, and quickly called for his people to follow him. go up;

The old wizard first calmed down the frightened natives of the tribe in Guang. After chattering, he did not let the girl help him at all, and actually limped to the village with Zheng Yuanqing and others. the back hill behind;

The scene in the back mountain was so terrifying that the timid Grea screamed in fear and couldn't help but crawl into Li Lali's arms; the back mountain was a cemetery, and the funeral customs of this tribe were a bit strange. They liked to be buried in the sky;

Sky burial is when a dying old man realizes that his time is short. In order not to burden the small survivor group and tribe, he will walk to the tribe alone. In the cemetery, people quietly wait for the death to come; after their death, vultures, rat beasts, and some insects such as maggots will eat their dead bodies, leaving only the bones. This is sky burial;

You know, this tribe has been around for at least thousands of years. Thousands of years of hard work have made this cemetery covered with tens of thousands of skeletons, and there are even a few generals who have died. Skeletons that have been eaten clean by wild beasts;

Their chests had been broken open, and all their internal organs had been eaten away by vultures and scavenging birds. The hot weather had caused the dead bodies to rot badly, and there were black maggots everywhere on the dead bodies. Sliding in and out between the flesh, rats and other beasts would come out from time to time. After looking at someone, they would scream and then sneak away to unknown places.

The old wizard took them to the edge of the cemetery, pointed to a small cave at the other end of the cemetery and said: "Go straight in along that cave, which is the tomb of Master Age Liusu, and it is also the tomb of Master Age Liusu. I warn you about the place you are looking for. No human being who enters it will ever come out alive, so you should take matters into your own hands." (To be continued...)
