Lord Highlander

   Chapter 730 719. Dakuni Tribe

  Standing on the top of the cliff, looking into the distance, a gray cloud suddenly rose above the northern forest. This gray cloud instantly dissipated into the evening sky like blue smoke.

  Aung San said that it was a flock of bloodthirsty hummingbirds. Although each hummingbird was extremely weak, the population was extremely large, and it flew like a cloud of smoke.

Suldak thought of his life in the forest farm of Handanal County, where the largest herd of animals was the red-eyed hyena, and the tall fir trees soared into the sky, which was very different from the Invercargill plane of the White Forest. There are more Warcraft here.

   I don't know what happened, but at this moment, Suldak thought of many life in the forest camp.

  When the second team goes out on patrol, they will also camp in the wild like this.

   Aung San put a deer leg that was almost gnawed in his hand on the campfire and roasted it, carefully scraped the last tendons with a knife, and put it in his mouth.

  He, like the veterans in the cavalry battalion, is also the kind who doesn't like to waste food, and he can always eat up the food in front of him. His style of doing things is very popular among the cavalry in the cavalry battalion.

  Below the cliff is a deep ravine, Aung San said to Surdak:

"If we want to continue going north, based on my experience alone, I can't guarantee that I can safely take you through the territory of those hordes of monsters. From here, we have already entered the hinterland of the Invercargill Forest. The further we go north , there will be a greater chance of encountering high-level monsters, they will definitely not be as easy to deal with as the iron-backed man and bear."

   "Can we see the red ants?" Surdak asked Aung San.

Aung San said with a wry smile: "If you want to take a look at the ghost-patterned red ants at this time, you have to go to the Dark Insect Valley, and then walk to the north for two days before you can see the huge valley. We need a few experienced The guides of the Invercargill Warcraft Forest, only they know this piece of Warcraft Forest."

   "Can you take me to visit them?" Suldak asked.

Aung San hesitated for a moment before saying: "They repel outsiders very much. Many slave traders came to Invercargill before. They not only hunted monsters, but also hunted indigenous people, so the indigenous tribes here are very wary. I can try to get in touch, but there is no guarantee that this will happen.”

   "Then how have they resisted the beast tide all these years?" Suldak asked Aung San curiously.

   "Their habitat is on the top of the snow mountain in Duodan Canyon. As long as they climb over the soaring thorns and thorns and enter the peak snow mountain, they can avoid the beast tide." Aung San bit the bullet and explained.

  Suldak nodded, looked back at the Dodan Canyon in the distance and said, "This is really a good choice."

  …

  The Ironback Bear belongs to the second-level Warcraft, so the fur can be used as the base material for the primary magic pattern construction, and can be exchanged for money at the trading firm.

The magic core inside the bear head's skull is also very valuable. Gulitham was a little puzzled why Suldak had to put the bear's paws into the magic sealing box. The Northlanders he and Andrew hunted a few days ago The bear did the same, and kept the bear's paw.

  If you want to eat meat, isn’t it better to have fresh and tender bear ribs?

  Under the treatment of Suldak's holy light technique, the wound on the ogre's shoulder that was scratched by the iron-backed bear's claws has quickly begun to heal.

"You and Andrew met that man-bear on the border last time, and you were not injured." Suldak rinsed the wound on the ogre's shoulder with clean water. The wound had scabbed quickly without festering or inflammation. There was no toxin on the man-bear's claws, and the wound did not cause too much tearing trauma.

   "That's different. When we found it, the man-bear was still sleeping in the burrow..." Gulitham held a bear leg in his hand, and said vaguely while chewing.

"If you want me to say, you don't need to use your brain when fighting. If you scratched the claws of a snake like this, the poison on the claws would have spread to the whole arm." Samira sat on the branch beside him , holding a piece of linen to wipe the steel arrows in the quiver, said.

Gulitum laughed without hesitation, and said, "If it was a snake lizard, I wouldn't fight like this. I killed so many salamanders in the lava mine of Pustule Mountain. It's not good to deal with such a big reptile know how experienced."

  Samira is slender and has excellent balance, able to lie steadily on the branches of a big tree.

She hung the quiver and the "painting of withering" on a small branch of a horizontal branch, supported her chin with one hand, and looked at Suldak who was healing the ogre under the tree, and her pale red eyes fell on the twig. On the white holy light, he whispered: "If we hadn't been brought out from the Maca plane, I'm afraid we wouldn't have had the opportunity to see these great worlds."

  Suldak didn't know what moved Samira's heart, so he looked up at the tree.

  Samira lay sideways on a branch of a tree, without a hood on her head. Her beautiful face was extremely fair, with a pointed chin and a small face.

"Aren't you homesick? When we finish this garrison mission, I'll see if I can get a portal pass for the Maca plane. It is estimated that there is no war control over there, and the teleportation pass should be easy to buy. By then I will give you a month's vacation and let you go back to Wojmara City to have a look."

   Suldak said as he wrapped up the ogre's wound with a hemostatic bandage.

  Samila didn't answer, she turned her head and looked at the starry night sky through the gaps in the leaves, a pair of light red pupils flickered with a faint light.

  …

  The aborigines of Invercargill built their homes in the middle of the cliff, which can resist the harassment of many monsters.

This group of aborigines still lives in caves and crypts, and they have iron tools. They can dig ideal caves on the hard rocks. The men in the tribe will go out to hunt during the day and return to the tribe with their prey at dusk. , at night only need to block the only hole, the whole tribe can spend the whole night in peace.

Aung Sanhe led the Suldak cavalry squadron to the foot of a rocky cliff. Two young natives stood on the canopy of a big tree, holding short flying spears in their hands, and shouted at Aung San from a distance. :

   "Aung San, did you forget to make an agreement with us?"

   "Imperials are not welcome here."

   After the two aborigines finished speaking, they quickly jumped off the big tree and disappeared into the dense forest without waiting for Aung San's answer.

   Aung San carefully led the horse and continued to walk forward.

Suldak, Gulitum, and Samira followed behind him. The team continued to walk 500 meters, and came to a crack in a rocky cliff. Ten bronze-skinned local aborigines.

  The aborigines occupy the high point, hiding their bodies in the crevices of the rocks, holding hardwood bows, and pointing their arrows at the cavalrymen.

  The eyes of these indigenous people are very sharp.

   Aung San took two steps forward, and shouted in the local aboriginal language to the indigenous tribe warriors above his head:

   (They are not those slave traders, they are guests, don't point your bow at them.)

  One of the strongest indigenous warriors in the crowd on the opposite side got out from a crack in the rock and stood barefoot on a big rock.

   Pointing to a group of cavalrymen in front of him, he asked Aung San: (Are you living with them? That’s why you speak for them? The imperial people came here, isn’t it to arrest our people?)

  Suldak couldn't understand what Aung San was saying.

   But Aung San pointed to the north of the Invercargill Warcraft Forest and spoke another string of aboriginal languages.

That strong indigenous warrior jumped down from the huge boulder. He only had a piece of animal skin around his waist, his bare upper body muscles bulged, and his chest, shoulders, neck, and face were covered with totem patterns. It's very important here.

   It's just that he looked at Suldak with distrust.

  Suldak spread his hands, indicating that he was not malicious.

   Aung San exchanged a few more words with the native warrior, and the native warrior turned around angrily and burrowed into the crevice of the rock. The rest of the native warriors were still holding hardwood bows, and their arrows were aimed at the cavalry in the forest.

   Aung San said to Surdak:

"That man is the number one warrior of the Dakuni tribe. He didn't want to believe me. I asked him to inform the elders of the tribe that we can give them some help, and that they want their people to take us into Inverka. Let’s take a look inside the Dark Worm Valley in Jill Forest, we probably have to wait here for a while.”

  Suldak sighed and said: "It seems that there is still a long way to go to reverse the bad impression these indigenous people have on us."

There are many young aborigines standing on the rocky cliff above their heads. These aborigines are male and female, and each of them is athletic. Almost all of them are surrounded by animal skins. There are also some raw ore and shell ornaments hanging on the ropes. The people are obviously different. Under the reddish-brown skin are amber pupils. Their foreheads are very broad, and the long brown hair on the top of their heads is woven together with some white and red feathers.

  In a bush under the rock wall, a low and dense bush suddenly shook a few times, and no one paid much attention at first.

  Suldak thought there was a timid hedgehog hidden inside, even if there was a poisonous snake hidden in the bushes, it would not be surprising.

  But the branches and leaves of that bush are always shaking.

  Samira walked over briskly, pushed aside the branches and leaves of the bushes, and saw three indigenous children who were only a few years old, staring at her with big watery eyes and shaking their heads.

  The young aboriginal warriors on the top of the rock obviously also noticed the situation below. When they saw the aboriginal children, there was a commotion above.

   Several aboriginal warriors were agitated and wanted to call out to their companions to drive back the cavalry in the forest below and rescue the aboriginal children.

   However, more people were unwilling to act rashly, and a dispute broke out among the indigenous warriors in the crevice of the stone.

  Samila ignored those young natives at all, just took out a few apples from his pocket and handed them to the several native children. The native children stared at Samira with wide eyes, and did not reach out to take those apples.

  Suldak took out a piece of baked wheat cake from a bag on the horseback of a cavalryman, and threw it to the puzzled Samira.

  When the aboriginal children saw the wheat cake, their eyes showed some envious eyes that could not be concealed.

  Samila quickly tore open the wheat cakes and distributed them to several indigenous children.

The indigenous children took the wheat cakes, first put them in front of their noses and sniffed vigorously, showing a look of intoxication, and then they couldn't wait to take a big bite. While chewing hard, they handed over the berries wrapped in banana leaves. Gave it to Samira.

  A native child also took out a few blue fruits from his arms and placed them in front of Samira.

  The transaction was very pleasant, and several indigenous children then retreated into the dense bushes and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

  Seeing that Suldak and his party did not hurt the children, the young natives above their heads whispered to each other for a while, and then put down the hardwood bows in their hands.

   Not long after, the native warrior emerged from the crack of the rock again, and continued to exchange a few words with Aung San.

   Aung San then turned to Surdak and said:

   "They only allow us to send two people to meet their Great Elder."

  Suldak glanced at Samira and said to her: "Samira, you go with me!"

"oh!"

  The half-elf archer hurriedly stood up and rearranged his hunting bow and quiver.

  Suldak told a cavalry squadron leader behind him: "You guys rest here, pay attention to vigilance, try to avoid causing unnecessary conflicts, and wait for me to come back!"

   "Yes." The squadron leader replied immediately.

  The voice of the answer was a bit loud, but the young native warriors in the rock crevices were startled.

  …

   Aung San took Surdak and Samira into the crevice under the rock cliff, and the passage in front of him became narrower and narrower.

   At the narrowest place, Suldak had to lower his head and squeeze sideways. The passage only extended less than 20 meters inward, and a circular stone chamber appeared in front of him.

  Suldak thought it was a stone room, but when he walked in, he realized that he had guessed wrong. It turned out to be a courtyard with a narrow bottom and a wide top.

   There is even light coming in directly overhead.

  Stone steps are dug on one side of the patio, extending upwards like a ladder.

  Suldak looked up, and a group of indigenous children were on the patio, looking down from the cave. When they saw Suldak looking up, they immediately seemed to be frightened, and 'hula' dispersed.

  The native warrior walked in front, carrying a bundle of wooden spears behind him. His body was extremely strong, and he climbed up the stone steps of the patio, looking back from time to time.

   Aung San followed behind him, followed by Suldak and Samira.

Constantly climbing up, Suldak found that this vertical patio cave was actually just a foundation, and other caves were completely relying on the entire patio, digging outwards in circles. The entire indigenous tribe lived in this rock patio, which felt like a An inverted circular skyscraper.

  Suldak passed through layer after layer of caves, and saw pairs of eyes. There were curiosity, fear and hatred in those eyes.

After climbing nine floors in a row, they finally came to the cave where the chief elder of the indigenous tribe lived. Two indigenous warriors stood guard at the entrance of the cave. They saw the indigenous warriors leading Aung San and Surdak up. He came out and stared at Suldak warily for a long time.

   But then he found that his fierce gaze couldn't scare Suldak at all.

  The native warrior scolded him a few words before the native guard walked back to his original position and stared angrily at Suldak.

  The indigenous warrior led the three of them into the cave. The corridor looked very spacious, and the feet were well repaired. There were a few oil lamps lit on one side of the stone wall. Under the dim light, there was a dark cave inside...
