Lord Moyu was forced to open

Through the translator, Zheng He learned from these people that they called themselves Indians.

This island is called Gubar Island, and the Indians on the entire island belong to a large tribe - the Keshik tribe.

The Keshik tribe was divided into ten small tribes, which were the Indians of the Xigo tribe that occupied the eastern territory of Gubar Island.

And the one who first held the golden skull scepter was the high priest of Xige tribe.

In the Indian tribe, each tribe has a chief and a high priest.

The chief is in charge of the daily life and war affairs of the tribe, while the high priest is in charge of theocracy and is responsible for offering sacrifices to the gods.

But more often than not, the status of the high priest is higher than that of the chief, and the high priest of some tribes can even abolish the tribal chief.

The reason why the high priest of the Xige tribe appeared here was because the high priest suddenly had the urge to follow them out hunting. Unexpectedly, he met Zheng He and others landing, and then the high priest was captured.

The leader of the hundreds of Indians who attacked them yesterday was none other than the chief of the Xige tribe.

After discovering that the high priest was missing, he quickly mobilized 500 warriors in the tribe to rescue him.

Unexpectedly, they ran into the Song army and were captured without even a splash.

Hearing this, Zheng He looked at the red-brown horse with some curiosity and asked, "Why are you so anxious to come to the rescue? Logically speaking, after the high priest of your tribe was captured, your power in the tribe was enhanced. Why did you mobilize so many troops to come to the rescue? Isn't this against your interests?"

Kong Xiangxue translated the words. The red-brown horse looked at the high priest who was still unconvinced and glared at Zhenghe fiercely, and then explained: "There is a reason why the status of sacrifice is so high. The high priests of each tribe are not independent.

For example, our Xige tribe is affiliated with the Keshike tribe, so our high priest is under the jurisdiction of the high priest of the Keshike tribe.

If something goes wrong with the high priest in our tribe, and the high priest of Keshik holds them accountable, their Xige tribe will not be able to bear it.

You have to know that the Keshike tribe has a total of 30,000 people, and there are nearly 7,000 young and strong people who can participate in the battle!
As for our small tribes, the largest one has only 3,000 people, and there are less than 700 warriors in the tribe.

The total population of our Xige tribe is only 2,000, and there are more than 500 tribal warriors, and now they have all been captured.

If something goes wrong with the high priest and Keshik sends out troops, our tribe will be finished!"

Zheng He finally understood how high the status of these priests was. Their status did not come from their respective tribes, but from the entire sacrificial system.

If compared to the Holy See in the previous life, the high priest of the Xige tribe is just a priest, while the high priest of Keshik is equivalent to a regional bishop.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jun asked again: "Then the high priest of Keshik is the most powerful among the priests?"

The reddish-brown horse immediately shook his head and said, "No, it is said that if you leave Gubar Island and travel west by raft for two days, you will see a huge continent, where there are more powerful tribes and higher-level priests.

The level of the priests can be seen from their scepters. The scepter of the high priest of our tribe has a golden skull, and the scepter of the Keshik tribe has a white crystal skull.

It is said that there are blue crystal skull scepters on that continent, as well as amethyst skull scepters that only our thirteen Indian tribes have. "

"mainland!"

Zheng He keenly perceived the key point. The sacrificial system and the like were not important to them. What really concerned him was the continent mentioned by the red-brown horse!
From here, you can reach the New World in two days by heading west!

Could it be that this is the destination of their trip?

With the news of the destination, Zheng He immediately became alert and asked:
"What do you mean by the continent you mentioned just now? Can we reach that continent in two days from here to the west?

How big is that continent?" The reddish-brown horse looked at Zheng He, who suddenly became excited, in confusion, but still answered honestly: "According to the legend of the tribe, it is said that our ancestors passed by Gubar Island and stayed there, and more people traveled west for two days to find the New World. The New World is said to be rich in resources and there are countless prey, so most of our ancestors survived in the New World.

We only learned about this news after the priests came here, but I have never been to the New World, so I am not very clear about these things. Only the priests can know them."

It turned out that these priests all came from the New World. Zheng He was surprised for a moment, then immediately turned to look at the high priest of the Xige tribe.

Who would have thought that this man, who was still so proud, had now become a prisoner. When faced with Zheng He's question, he sarcastically replied:
"You despicable outsiders, don't even think about getting any news about the God-given continent from me. There are many places you outsiders can go to. There are many more powerful and larger tribes and warriors than Gubar Island. You are no match for them!

If you are smart, let us go immediately. Otherwise, when the Winged God Court gets angry, you won't even have a chance to beg for mercy!"

"Fuck! You're still so arrogant even though you've been captured?!"

Zhang Laoliu who was standing by had been listening. After hearing Kong Ruixue's translation and looking at the high priest's arrogant expression, his temper immediately flared up and he started beating him up.

When the other captives from the Xige tribe saw the high priest being beaten, they were about to go up to rescue him, but the cold blade on their necks made them calm down quickly.

Even the chief, Red and Brown Horse, lowered his head and did not dare to look.

The other Song people were about to stop them, but they immediately retracted their steps after receiving a glance from Zheng He.

Zheng He was leisurely drinking a cup of tea, as if he didn't notice Zhang Laoliu's beating of the high priest.

They are still so arrogant even after being captured by them. Guys like these who cannot see the situation clearly need to be taught a lesson so that they can face the reality, otherwise they won't be able to tell the difference between a big king and a small one.

After a while, Zhang Laoliu stopped beating because he was tired. He spat angrily on the high priest who was already beaten black and blue, and then let him go.

Zheng He, who had been drinking tea at leisure, finally asked, "Can you tell me about the God-given continent now?"

However, this high priest was really stubborn. He was beaten so hard that his mother couldn't even see, but he still said stubbornly: "You...you...Xiu Xiang, the Winged God Court will not...let you go!"

"Oh my god, you're really stubborn!"

Zhang Laoliu rolled up his sleeves when he heard this, and immediately wanted to continue to beat him, but was stopped by Zheng He, who said:

"Yes, he's tough enough, a real man.

But do you think I won't get the news if you don't tell me?
Since every tribe has priests, let's arrest all of them. With so many priests, I don't believe there isn't a single spineless one.

As for you, after I get the information I want, I will use your head as a sacrifice!"

The high priest's eyes widened upon hearing this.

But Zheng He had already waved his hand and had him taken away.

He then gave an order, notifying the entire army, except for leaving a thousand people to guard the ship, all the rest of the people must attack from east to west starting tomorrow and capture all the priests of the tribes alive!

I want to see if all priests are so stubborn!"

"promise!"
