Outsider!

Hearing these three words, the young man behind Heiya poked his head out, his smart black eyes sparkling with a gleam of curiosity.

"Are you from outside the mountain?" the young man couldn't help but ask. Having never left the Black Ridge Mountains, he was full of curiosity and yearning for the outside world. When he looked at Xu Dongyang, there was no longer the same fear in his eyes as before.

"We are from the Black Rock tribe nearby." Seeing that Xu Dongyang had no hostility, Heiya breathed a sigh of relief and replied.

"Black Rock Tribe."

Xu Dongyang muttered quietly, then looked at the tiger at his feet and said:

"You guys are here to hunt this tiger, right? I'll give you the tiger's body. But I need a topographic map of the Black Ridge Mountains. Your tribe should have it, right?"

Seeing the other party's goodwill, Black Fang hesitated for a moment and then spoke:

"Okay, but we all have the map memorized in our heads. The map is in our tribe. Are you going to wait here for us to get it, or are you going to go back with us?"

"I'll go with you guys."

Chapter 90 Black Rock Tribe

Then Xu Dongyang followed the two to the Black Rock Tribe.

During this period, the young man frequently asked questions about things in the outside world. At first, he was very reserved, but as Xu Dongyang patiently explained, he gradually relaxed his temper.

He was like a lark, chirping and asking questions non-stop, and the relationship between the two of them quickly became closer.

Xu Dongyang basically answered every question. After all, he was visiting someone's home and had to ask for something, so he naturally couldn't treat them with a cold face.

Seeing the two of them talking happily, Heiya, who was carrying the body of the spotted tiger and leading the way in front, gradually let down his guard.

He was still a little nervous when bringing Xu Dongyang back to the tribe, fearing that it would bring disaster to the tribe.

The three of them walked around in the mountains and forests for about four or five kilometers and came to a small hill.

The mountain is not high, only about 100 meters, and is earthy yellow in color, with a few parts green, and covered with dense trees. There is only one intersection leading up the mountain, and the rest are steep cliffs.

The three of them soon arrived at the intersection of the mountain road, where there were two guards, a young man dressed similarly to Black Fang.

"Wow~ What a great harvest! Black Fang." A young man greeted Black Fang with a smile.

"It's okay. I was just lucky this time." Heiya responded with a smile, and then introduced Xu Dongyang who had stood up to the two of them.

"This is a stranger I met while hunting. He killed this tiger and gave it to me. I would like to invite him to visit our tribe. Please inform the tribe leader."

The two young guards then looked at Xu Dongyang behind them. They could tell the difference between him and everyone else from his clothes, and began to believe what Heiya said.

One of them said, "I'll go up and report. You wait a moment." Then he ran towards the mountain.

The road up the mountain is stepped, obviously artificially modified. Although the road is not smooth, it is much more convenient than the steep mountain wall.

The three of them didn't have to wait long before the young man came back and said, "The clan leader has agreed. You can go up."

Then the three of them went up the mountain and walked about one kilometer to the halfway point.

What comes into view is a spacious square. A small half of the mountain has been hollowed out, and only a few huge stone pillars in the middle and the mountain walls on both sides support the peak above.

The square is about 200 square meters. The first thing you see is a middle-aged man holding an iron spear and teaching a group of four or five-year-old children how to pierce the spear.

Each child held a wooden spear and followed the middle-aged man's rhythm, and finally shouted "Hehehehaha".

The middle-aged man just glanced at the three people and then looked away. Xu Dongyang followed Heiya inside.

As he walked into the interior of the mountain, Xu Dongyang also discovered that the square was solid, but there were a large number of caves on the stone walls, roughly estimated to be dozens of them, and a white crystal hung at the entrance of each cave.

"Our tribe lives here. A small half of the entire mountain is an open square area, and the other half is the accommodation area.

Each cave here is a room, there are not many, but some tribesmen will live together after they get married, so it is enough. "Heiya introduced to Xu Dongyang on the side.

"It seems that your tribe is not very big! But what is the crystal stone at the door? It also emits a medicinal fragrance?" Xu Dongyang asked puzzledly.

Black Fang explained: "There are less than a hundred people in our tribe. As for the crystal stone, it is used to repel insects. There are a lot of mosquitoes in this area, and some of them are poisonous.

It is made by using an ancient method to refine insect repellent grass into liquid medicine and apply it to the crystal stone. The liquid medicine on the surface is then solidified with wax made from the sap of rubber trees.

This will keep the efficacy of the insect repellent grass from dissipating and allow it to be used over time. As for the crystal, it will not rot like wood and can be preserved for a long time, so it is used as a carrier. "

After Xu Dongyang thought about it for a while, his eyes lit up and he suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.

"Can you give me a copy of this ancient method?"

Black Fang was stunned for a moment, "Okay, it's not something important anyway."

Then the two came to the entrance of a cave, where a simple wooden door separated the inside and outside of the cave.

Black Fang knocked on the door gently and asked, "Chief, are you there?"

Soon, footsteps and the sound of wood hitting each other were heard in the room, and then the wooden door opened. An old man with gray hair, an old face, and a hunched body walked out of the cave, leaning on a wooden cane.

"Heiya, this is the outsider, right?" The old man glanced at Heiya, then looked at Xu Dongyang and asked.

"Yes, Chief. He wants a map of the Black Ridge Mountains from us.

Uh~

There is also a method for making insect repellent stone." Black Fang thought of something and added.

The old man nodded and said, "The map is fine, and the method of making the insect repellent stone is not an important thing. I can give it to you, but our tribe does not have any remaining gum tree sap stored."

"It's okay, old man. Just tell me where I can get the rubber tree sap." Xu Dongyang replied with a smile.

The old man nodded, then turned and walked into the cave. Not long after, he came out with two pieces of parchment. After handing the two rolls of paper to the other party, he asked:

"Young man, where are you from? Tiandou or Xingluo?"

Xu Dongyang's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise, "Old man, do you know about the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire?"

The old man nodded and said, "I left this mountain when I was young and went to several cities on the border of the Tiandou Empire. But later I got old and was injured, so I came back."

There was a look of reminiscence in the old man's eyes, and he looked at his injured left leg after he finished speaking.

"Young man, are you going to cross the Black Ridge Mountains to the Yungo Desert in the west?"

Xu Dongyang nodded and said, "Yes, I came from the Tiandou Empire and am going to the Yunge Desert. Do you have any advice for me, old man?"

"I don't deserve your advice, but it's getting late now, you might as well stay here for a night before leaving."

Xu Dongyang looked up at the sky outside and saw the setting sun, turning the clouds in the sky into fiery clouds.

Thinking about the mosquitoes that harassed him in the mountains while traveling at night these days, Xu Dongyang made up his mind.

"Sorry for bothering me then."

"Black Fang, take the guest to choose an empty room."

Afterwards, Xu Dongyang followed Heiya and chose a remote cave as a temporary residence.

After watching Heiya leave, Xu Dongyang closed the wooden door and looked into the room in the cave. There was a wooden table and a simple stone bed. The room was very simply decorated.

It can be seen how difficult and primitive the living conditions of this tribe are, but fortunately, the people here are very simple, friendly and not so cunning.

Xu Dongyang took out the flint and lit the lamp on the wooden table. The lamp oil was made of a special resin, which would emit a faint fragrance when lit.

There was only a thin straw mat on the bed. He sat cross-legged on it, took out the two parchment scrolls given by the old patriarch, and read them carefully in the dim light of the fire.

'It turns out that the method of making this insect-repellent stone is so simple. You only need to apply the liquid medicine made from herbs on the object, and then cover it with gum tree sap to solidify it to keep the medicinal power.

It seems that the key point is still the gum tree sap. I just don't know if this method will work on the grass jelly.'

Xu Dongyang quickly figured out the contents of the two parchments, then put them away and began to practice with his eyes closed. He had a premonition that his soul power would break through to level 57 in the next few days.

He meditated in his room all night and did not go out again. After all, as a guest, it is better not to run around casually and cause trouble for others.

Chapter 91 Leaving

On the second day, Xu Dongyang said goodbye to the old patriarch and Heiya and left the Black Rock Tribe.

He followed the clues on the map and quickly moved through the mountains and forests. With the map, he was much faster and could actively avoid many dangerous terrains.

The territories of some powerful soul beasts were also marked on the map, and he avoided them one by one.

Soon he came to a forest. Every tree here had lush branches and leaves, but the trunks were not thick, and some were even slender. These trees were the rubber trees mentioned by the old patriarch.

Xu Dongyang took out a dagger and quickly cut the bark. Soon, transparent, sticky sap began to flow out of the trunk. He took out a jade bottle to catch it, and the sap flowed into the bottle bit by bit.

Nothing unexpected happened during the process, and they left quickly after the jade bottle was full.

Under the scorching sun, a camel was carrying a figure walking in the rocky desert. The ground was dry and revealed hideous cracks. Not far from the two figures was a 300-meter-wide canyon.

Every step the camel took left deep hoof prints on the sand. On its back was a young man wearing a conical hat, shirtless and wearing grey shorts.

The young man's bronze skin was covered in sweat, and he had strong and muscular body. He held a water bottle in his hand and took a sip every once in a while.

The young man was Xu Dongyang, who had been in the Yunge Desert for more than a month.

Since leaving the Black Ridge Mountains, he bought a camel in a border city, took a lot of water and food, and went to the Yunge Desert alone.

The Yunge Desert is vast and boundless, and it is normal to easily get lost, but fortunately, the place Xu Dongyang wants to go is on the dividing line between the north and south parts.

This grand canyon that divides the north and south is particularly eye-catching on the map. He quickly found the location of the Grand Canyon and then walked along the edge of the canyon into the depths of the desert.

This canyon stretches endlessly, almost dividing the Yunge Desert into two. The two ends of the canyon are 300 meters apart, with a wide rock path in the middle. Perhaps it used to be a river channel, but it has long dried up, and now only cracked rock and soil remain.

There are many bushes growing on the sand walls on both sides of the rock path, adding a bit of green to the yellow earth.

Along the way, Xu Dongyang encountered many creatures that were causing trouble, including some red and yellow scorpions with thick and hard shells, each as big as a calf.

There are also lizard-like sandhorns with sharp claws and sturdy limbs and trunks, and they are as big as a car.

I also encountered a yellow giant python that was eight meters long and as thick as a bucket. They were all soul beasts unique to the Yungo Desert.

However, all of these were solved by Xu Dongyang, and the sand horned dragon and giant python were even turned into his feces.

"Xiangzi, can you please walk faster? How long will it take to reach the destination if you walk like this?"

Xu Dongyang sat on the back of the camel Xiangzi, looking at the other's head and couldn't help complaining. Xiangzi was the temporary name he gave to the camel.

But the camel paid no attention to him and just walked slowly on its own, chewing the hay stored in its stomach and shaking its head, looking very comfortable and relaxed.

Xu Dongyang was helpless when he saw this. He knew very well that the other party could not understand what he said with his IQ.

It was just that traveling alone in the desert made him feel lonely and unbearable, so he just talked to the beast on his own.

pat~

Seeing the other party's leisurely appearance, Xu Dongyang stretched out his palm and gave it a big slap on the back of the head. "Damn, you are so hesitant."

But Xiangzi was not happy. A stream of white air spurted out of his nose. He stopped and stood there motionless, with the corners of his mouth slightly pursed, revealing a hint of an anthropomorphic angry expression.

I quit! Go away by yourself!

"Are you going to leave or not?!" Xu Dongyang laughed angrily, rushed forward, strangled the other person's neck, and threatened.

But the camel seemed to know his temper and ignored him completely.

Xu Dongyang smiled helplessly, "I really am. Why would I bother competing with a beast like you?!"

After saying this, he let go of the other's neck, jumped off his back, left the camel 'Xiangzi' behind, and walked forward alone. He planned to walk the rest of the way by himself.

His feet made the sound of sand and stones rubbing against the ground as Xu Dongyang walked forward alone. After walking about a kilometer, a huge noise appeared behind him that attracted his attention.

He turned his head to look behind him, and saw the camel 'Xiangzi' running at full speed in front of him, breathing heavily, at a speed that Xu Dongyang had never seen before!

Behind him, dust was rising. A huge, ten-meter-long sand crocodile was crawling quickly on all fours towards the camel "Xiangzi".

The movement was so great that it created a huge wave of wind and sand behind us, like a sandstorm, with sand flying all over the sky with astonishing power.

'Xiangzi' quickly caught up with Xu Dongyang and then made a surprising move.

It jumped up and rode on Xu Dongyang's shoulders, trembling all over, with its two front hooves crossed in a humane way to hug the other's neck.

"Fuck, the camel has become a spirit!"

Xu Dongyang only felt his body become heavy, and then his eyes widened, with an expression as if he had seen a ghost, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"Fuck you, get off me! Damn, slip of the tongue! I'm not interested in your mother."

Xu Dongyang used both hands to pull the other's huge body, trying to pull him down, but Xiangzi bit his hair and refused to go down.

Are you kidding? It's just a camel that only eats and waits for death. It's powerless and can't even tie a chicken. If it is left behind, it will become a meal for the sand crocodile.
