dawn of dynasty

Chapter 294: For sale, the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" Tribe of Lishan Mountain
"Do you need me to go there in person?"

"can."

The subordinates were indignant and unhappy, but Shen Guanye, the person involved, was very calm.

Hearing this, Bai Huaian and others looked at Shen Guanye.

Of course Shen Guanye knew what Bai Huaian and the others were thinking.

To be honest, Tianxia has been the emperor of China for thousands of years, and the people are very proud. If it hadn't been for being beaten by the foreign powers in the past 50 years and suffering some humiliation, I'm afraid I would still think that Tianxia is still that person to this day. The high heaven above.

Even though they were awakened by the great powers, the Tianxia people still had a condescending attitude toward the natives of Nanyang Continent, thinking that they were uncivilized barbarians.

Therefore, even a good man with a gentle temper like his father can't help but feel that the other party's behavior is a bit "excessive".

But Shen Guanye didn't have such a mentality.

He felt that he was asking for something from the other person, so it was normal for others to take some advantage and make some gestures.

Asking for help requires an attitude of asking for help.

When you go to your door to ask for help, you feel unhappy if the person doesn't readily agree. Are you asking for help or giving alms?

Besides, so many of them came to the Nanyang Continent to open up wasteland, and the other tribe was so close, so it was impossible for them to have no ideas.

Either he is afraid, or he is uneasy, or he wants to be attached. In short, the other party definitely wants to talk, and asking him to go there in person by name may not just be a pretense.

Therefore, both emotionally and logically, he should take this trip.

Shen Guanye had already said this, so naturally it was hard for others to say anything more.

……

Several crane spirits and a sphinx flew over the rainforest.

"Your Excellency Sened, we will be arriving soon."

On the backs of the crane spirit and the sphinx are Shen Guanye, Miao Gao, Bai Huaihe and the guard captain of the envoy team, the 12th-level master named "Senid".

It was Bai Huaihe who spoke.

Although Bai Huaihe is not young, he still maintains a young mind and has strong curiosity.

To him, the distant and ancient Nile Kingdom was a mysterious existence, so he was willing to communicate with members of the envoy.

He is also smart. He is not only proficient in many languages, but also has strong language learning ability. He can already speak some simple Nilo in just a few days, which makes the people in the mission very fond of him.

Sened has brown skin, deep facial features, and is dressed in a typical desert ethnic style. He has a serious personality and is somewhat unsmiling.

Shen Guanye didn't know what the specific occupation of Apocalypse was.

Although Tianxia and Nile were both ancient civilizations in ancient times, they were too far apart and had no communication for thousands of years.

Shen Guanye has a deep understanding of the apocalyptic profession of the Fuso Kingdom and the Western powers, but he has little understanding of the apocalyptic profession of the Nile Kingdom.

He didn't even know how many basic professions Nile Country had.

Sened took the initiative to accompany him to the local tribe.

The visitor is a guest, so Shen Guanye will not refuse to agree to this small request.

In addition, Shen Guanye had another consideration. He was going to negotiate this time. Sened's presence would have given him more leverage - the Nile Country's top leaders were willing to send envoys from thousands of miles away, which just proved that His strength, status and value?
Soon, the group arrived at the tribe.

This tribe was built next to a not very wide river, much narrower than the Qingshui River where Shen Guanye and the others were, and the houses were all made of trees. The tribe was overgrown with weeds and still maintained its original style.

Food was also planted, but it was incomparable to the vast tracts of crops on the territory. Even the climate was obviously not as good as the area where the territory was located.

This is the significance of the mountain gods, water gods, and a host of gods-based heroic spirits. Without the mountain gods, water gods, and numerous god-based heroic spirits, even if Shen Guanye had many other heroic spirits under his command, he would not be able to create that area. livable natural conditions.

Even if the situation in the territory is better than that of the local tribe in front of me, it's not much better.

As Shen Guanye and others approached, one heroic spirit after another emerged from the outside of the territory, looking at a few people warily. Although they shivered under the majestic aura of the Crane Spirit and the Sphinx, they did not turn around. Just run.

Most of these heroic spirits are swamp-type heroic spirits: mud monsters, rainforest frogmen, lizardmen, poisonous flies, etc.

There are also a small number of mountain and sea type and celestial type heroic spirits: Modao warriors, Beiwei warriors, demons, water ghosts, rat demons, peach spirits, willow ghosts, etc.

But the levels are not high. Not to mention the mountain and sea type and celestial type heroic spirits such as Mo Dao Jia Shi, Peach Spirit and Liu Gui. Their levels are all below level 3. Even the swamp type heroic spirits do not exceed level 4.

Not to mention the rain forest frogs and lizard people, they are old acquaintances, they are level 2 and level 3 respectively. The remaining mud monsters, poisonous flies and swamp fish monsters,
The poisonous fly is a level 3 heroic spirit of the swamp system, the same level as the lizard man. The mud monster is a lower level, a level 1 heroic spirit of the swamp system. Only the swamp fish monster is a higher level, reaching level 4.

However, although the level of heroic spirits is low, there are many in number.

With the arrival of Shen Guanye and the others, many heroic spirits "emerged" from the rain forest like bamboo shoots and mushrooms after the rain. The number was so large that Shen Guanye couldn't help but look surprised.

Such a small tribe has so many Apocalypse and can contract so many heroic spirits?Or is there an Apocalypse Lord in this tribe?
Miao Gao noticed the unexpected look on Shen Guanye's face and immediately explained: "Captain, these heroic spirits are the heroic spirits raised by the Lishan tribe for generations, and are not the contracted heroic spirits of the Apocalypse in the tribe."

"Feeding?"

Both Shen Guanye and Bai Huaihe showed interest on their faces. Bai Huaihe also showed interest after translating for Senid.

Miao Gao couldn't help but scratch his head.

"Actually, I don't know if it can be regarded as being raised. In short, these heroic spirits have stayed in the Lishan Tribe many, many years ago. Many of them may be the heroic spirits left by the former enlightened people of the Lishan Tribe. These heroic spirits have been left behind after their masters passed away. He didn’t leave, but stayed and continued to protect the tribe.”

interesting!

He has never seen this kind of situation in Tianxia, ​​and he has never heard of it. If he could figure out how the Lishan tribe did it...

"We also have such a situation in the Nile Kingdom. I didn't expect that such a situation also exists in this Southeast Asian continent."

Sened suddenly spoke.

"Is there a similar situation in the Nile Kingdom?"

"Yes, in remote villages in our country, there are often heroic spirits guarding the villages. People say that they are the protection of ancestors. But strangely, there is no such phenomenon in cities."

Shen Guanye couldn't help but think deeply.

So, the occurrence of this situation may be related to the social form?
Although the Nile Kingdom is an ancient civilization like Tianxia, ​​its social structure is obviously not as advanced as Tianxia. In the Nile Kingdom, many areas are still in a tribal form, similar to the current situation of the Lishan tribe.

Tianxia had already passed through the period of tribal society, and had already entered feudal society for who knows how many years when the heroic spirit was born, so naturally similar phenomena would not occur.

While Shen Guanye was thinking secretly, several short, dark-skinned local tribal warriors with bright oil paint on their faces appeared on the trees carrying bows, arrows and scimitars.

These people are all Apocalypse, walking on the tree as if they were on the ground.

The other party obviously knew Miao Gao, so they did not show a hostile attitude - even if they did not know Miao Gao, the crane spirit and the sphinx would probably make them sober and not dare to show hostility easily.

One of them quickly disappeared into the bushes, probably going back to report the news, while the rest went down to the ground and came to Shen Guanye and others. They first saluted and then said a few words to Miao Gao.

"Master Governor, they are saying hello to you and thank you for coming." Not to mention, although this Tribute Mountain tribe is just a tribe, they behave politely and thoughtfully, and there is no "Obviously you invited us here. When they met, they were at hand-to-hand combat."

"Hello."

Shen Guanye was also very polite.

Several people first glanced curiously at Sened, who looked and dressed differently, and then invited Shen Guanye and the others to go inside. Before they really entered the tribe, the tribal chief came to greet him personally. .

"Distinguished guests, welcome to your arrival."

The tribal chief saluted with one hand on his chest and spoke in broken Tianxia dialect. The paint on his face was obviously much brighter and more complex than the others, showing his superior status.

"The chief is welcome."

Shen Guanye didn't expect that the other party would respond first with courtesy, and the words Miao Gao relayed were not very polite. However, when he actually saw him, he showed a humble, polite, and even inferior attitude.

In this case, Shen Guanye would naturally be more polite.

In addition, he also found that the chief's strength was not bad. He was an eighth-level apocalypse, much stronger than Miao Gao. Even if he was placed in his territory, he would still be at the forefront.

In Shen Guanye's territory, the distribution of the Apocalypse is actually disjointed. There are many top masters, but not many below the top. There are only a few masters from level 7 to level 11 - mainly from the Red Xia Gang and Bai Xia Gang. Home.

Not only that, as Shen Guanye walked into the tribe, he found that the density of Apocalypse in the tribe was obviously much higher than that in his territory.

But then I thought about it, this is normal.

Survival of the fittest happens every moment. The harsh environment will inevitably lead to harsh selection. Many people who can survive in other places cannot survive in this dangerous Nanyang continent.

Over time, the probability of Apocalypse coming out of these tribes on the Nanyang Continent will naturally be higher than that of Tianxia.

……

Behind the chief's house, a tall tree grew lushly. As Shen Guanye and others approached, a faint sound came from the tree. After a while, a green-footed dragon snake swam down the thick trunk, staring with cold eyes. A few people watched the night quietly.

"This is the patron saint of the tribe."

The chief introduced.

Seemingly sensing that Shen Guanye and the others were not to be trifled with, and also realizing that Shen Guanye and the others were not enemies, the green-footed dragon snake swam down to observe for a moment, then swam back up the tree and hid under the dense leaves again. middle.

Shen Guanye looked away, his face unmoving, but his heart was a little surprised.

If he read it correctly, this green-footed dragon snake was already showing some signs of awakening.

This little Tribute Mountain tribe is truly a crouching tiger, hidden dragon!
Shen Guanye couldn't help but sigh.

Regardless of the four of them, except for Miao Gao, everyone has the strength to easily kill the entire tribe, but that is because they are too high, not because the Lishan tribe is too weak.

In fact, as an indigenous tribe with only a few thousand people, it has a green-footed dragon snake with signs of awakening, an eighth-level apocalypse, many middle- and low-level tribal warriors, and hundreds of middle- and low-level heroic spirits to protect it. Very strong.

If you don’t have an intuitive feeling, think about the original configuration of Hongdong County?
Hongdong County has a population of 10,000+ people!
In terms of strength, it is not as good as the Qishan Mountain Tribe.

In the chief's house, the Qishan Mountain tribe served the guests a unique local drink. Shen Guanye took a sip. The taste was a bit weird, but it was quite refreshing.

He put down the cup and said straight to the point: "Chief Bashan, I am here to ask your noble tribe to help with medical treatment."

As Shen Guanye spoke, he secretly issued an order.

Light and shadow flashed in front of everyone, and soon the patient appeared.

Chief Bashan first glanced at Shen Guanye in surprise, surprised by his miraculous skills, and then observed carefully, but did not react for a long time.

So, Shen Guanye said: "Chief Bashan, how are you? Have you seen similar symptoms before? Can it be cured?"

Chief Bashan began to ponder, and after a moment, he said thoughtfully: "This disease is difficult to cure. I have to ask the witch doctor in the tribe first, and maybe I have to go to the Jianshui tribe to invite someone. As for these distinguished guests, why don't we stay temporarily? A day or two?”

"it is good."

After the two parties separated and Shen Guanye and others arrived at the guest house, Bai Huaihe's face darkened.

"It seems they have a cure, but they are just waiting for a price."

Bai Huaihe looked quite worried.

Shen Guanye's expression was calm. Of course he could also see what Bai Huaihe could see, but as long as the Lishan Tribe's offer was not too outrageous, he could accept it.

Now it depends on how much the other party bids.

Sened thought for a moment and said unexpectedly: "Captain Shen, if the Qishan Mountain tribe is not willing, our Nile Kingdom may be able to send witch doctors over. In the Nile Kingdom, we will also suffer from a similar rain forest plague."

Shen Guanye and Bai Huaihe were quite surprised.

"Thank you for your kindness, Sened."

Although this is actually not feasible - after all, there are so many local tribes in Nanyang Continent. Even if the Qishan Mountain tribe is unwilling, they can still go to other tribes. How can they seek help from the Nile Kingdom, which is thousands of miles away?
But this was someone's intention, and Shen Guanye was very grateful in his heart.

……

Then, Shen Guanye, accompanied by people from the Lishan tribe, walked around the tribe and fully experienced the difficulty of surviving in the rainforest of Nanyang continent.

The people of the Lishan tribe work almost from morning to night, even their half-grown children, but even so, they can barely make ends meet.

Not only that, a large part of the older people in the tribe have strange diseases, some have physical deformities, and some have horn-like things growing on their bodies. Causes great pain.

It happened that many children still had valuable innocence, simplicity and curiosity, and were very willing to show kindness to him, an outsider, which made Shen Guanye become more and more silent as he wandered around.

Finally, he simply returned to his residence and stopped wandering around.

Soon, night fell.

The starry sky was bright, Shen Guanye was lying on the bed, looking at the stars from the leaky ceiling.

Suddenly, he straightened up and his expression changed slightly.

Ten miles away from the territory, an expedition team was rapidly approaching the territory.

Except for the leader who rode a unicorn, the rest of the group either rode a sun deer or a moon deer, riding on the moon under the moonlight.

When the expedition team passed by, a bandaged skeleton emerged from the soil on the ground. This skeleton should have been some kind of local lizard in life, but now it was wrapped with bandages and full of exotic style.

Chenede suddenly opened his eyes in the Quinoa Mountain Tribe.

As a 12th-level powerhouse, and as someone who has been fighting against foreign powers on the front lines for a long time, Sened will certainly not lack the necessary vigilance - those who are not vigilant will have died on the battlefield long ago, even if you are 12th-level Master.

Therefore, Sened set up warning measures around the Qishan Mountain tribe early in the morning.

At this moment, the alarm was triggered.
