The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 275 Mysterious Sacrifice and Return

Ah Xiao's life was so good that he even took his friend from Green Lake Village to the Auror Mine to spend the night.

If it weren't for Allen's insistence that all children of appropriate age must exercise together and learn common writing in Philip's school, Axiao would have even planned to settle his family in an Auror mine.

Today's mine is no longer as crude as it was ten years ago. With the mining of pyrite ore, there is more space in the mine, so a lot of infrastructure has been built. The living area and working area are clearly divided. At the same time, the warriors guarding the mine also reclaimed some land in the open area outside the site and planted crops such as berries and vegetables in their spare time.

Of course, A Xiao would not tell others that these were actually extra tasks he ordered the warriors from his tribe to guard the mine at the request of his wife. Most of the fruits and vegetables harvested went into the stomachs of A Xiao and his wife, and only a small part was rewarded to a few of his confidants.

Although Ah Xiao has not seriously exercised his strength since he ate a piece of dragon meat and advanced by chance, but due to factors such as the proximity to the water and the success in developing the mine, Ah Xiao has still improved his strength to the level over the years. At the level of an 11th level Berserker, he has also mastered the expertise of mastering critical strikes. Among the dozens of warriors and hundreds of slaves of all kinds in the Auror Mine, he can be regarded as one of the few masters.

Coupled with Ah Xiao's cruel methods, he often whipped disobedient slaves to death, and even implicated other members of his group, making his power even surpass Allen's status in the hearts of the slaves in the Auror mine.

The ore veins of the Auror Mine have been dug deeper into the hills for more than ten miles along the place where the veins were originally discovered, and 4-5 hills have been directly hollowed out. The main area of the mine at this time was no longer where Ah Xiao and the others had set up the mine. Instead, it extended 7-8 miles into the mine along the veins.

In addition to the mining area, a smelting yard was also built here to facilitate the direct smelting of the mined ore, and then the extracted pig iron was transported to the village and handed over to Manduli and the others to be made into various farm tools, armor, and weapons.

It was exactly noon at this time, and when the warriors of the Green Field Tribe were hiding in a shady corner to rest, the sounds of banging ore could still be heard from time to time in the mining area. In the dull mine, there is no gentle cool breeze blowing, and the air is still mixed with countless dust, which makes it very difficult to breathe. Many people who have been working in the mine for many years will cough after night. It could even kill them, all because of the dirty air in the mine.

No goblin is willing to go down to the mine, because the air inside is filthy and dull, and mine collapse accidents occur from time to time. No one is willing to place their lives under the protection of the goddess of luck. Therefore, the work of overseers in the mines is generally handed over to obedient and capable overseers selected from slaves, who manage what happens in the caves on their behalf.

The sound of clanging ore being hammered continued. The 3 or so slaves in Mine No. 40 were gathered around a Jackal overseer, kneeling devoutly in the wet and bumpy pit, following the Jackal overseer. Together they prayed to the statue of a god carved from black wood on the cave wall.

"Omniscient, omnipotent, Lord of creation, may your vastness illuminate the world, may your fire burn..."

The slaves closed their eyes and prayed devoutly and attentively. As the low and solemn prayers slowly rose, the already dark mine gradually became a bit mysterious. An inexplicable aura came from the black sculpture. When the prayer was over, the Jackal Overseer opened his eyes gently, and there were two slaves behind him dragging a squirming sack in front of the Jackal.

The eyes of the gnoll overseer Danai showed cruelty and excitement. He opened the sack and revealed what was inside. It turned out to be a lizard man whose hands and feet were tied. At this time, he kept struggling and looked around, with a look in his eyes. He looked eager and helpless, hoping that the slaves around him could help him out.

"Lord, please accept the sacrifices sent by your devout believers. May your divine power protect our loyal believers."

None of the many slaves cast a sympathetic look at the lizard man on the ground. Instead, as the lizard man revealed his familiar face, his eyes revealed a crazy and misty look, as if what he saw in front of him was not a living creature, but a lizard man. Just like any other valuable item. Continue to pray with Danai, watching Danai raise the sharp dagger in his hand high, and then aim at the lizard man's heart and stab it. The eyes of the slaves below are even more crazy and obsessed, and they are praying in a low voice. He also gradually became more and more high-spirited, even faintly overpowering his companions who were pounding ore and making noise next to them.

A knife cut open the lizard man's chest and took out the still-beating heart. Danai piously placed the heart together with the blood flowing from the aorta on the sculpture in the stone wall in front, while praying incessantly.

With the pulling of the mysterious power of the prayer, the heart on the black wooden sculpture slowly withered, and the blood stains flowing on it were absorbed by it at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, a halo suddenly poured out from the sculpture, directly covering the mine. On dozens of slaves gathered around.

A force emerged from the slaves' bodies, and their entire bodies seemed to be brand new, and all the previous fatigue, fatigue, and pain left with it. Feeling the changes in their bodies, all the slaves became more pious, praying that the sculpture could once again emit the mysterious power and bring new changes to everyone.

"Okay, the Lord's light has left. Let's enjoy the delicious food in front of us!!"

After the mysterious halo disappeared, Danai's crazy and pious eyes gradually returned to normal. As he issued instructions, a group of slaves frantically pounced on the dead lizard man, feasting around the other's body, as if Eating more bites will give you more power from the gods.

Looking at the crazy crowd below, Danai was very satisfied with the group of believers he had developed. If this continues, it may not be long before the hundreds of slaves in this mining area will all become loyal believers of the God of Hope.

When the Lord God returns to His throne, Tadanai, as a hero, will receive eternal life and powerful power from the Lord God.

I really hope that this day will come soon. Danai was thinking about good things. After the crazy movements of the crowd gradually subsided, he greeted everyone again and cleaned up the mess to avoid exposing any flaws.

The lizard man they captured as a sacrifice was a slave in the mine next door. Although his disappearance may trigger a large-scale search, in this mining area where people die anytime and anywhere, the matter will disappear soon. It's silent, but it won't cause much trouble.

When Allen returned to the Green Field Plain, it was only more than a month later than Ye returned.

"Clan leader, more than a month ago, the entire clan of the Bone Broken Tribe was wiped out."

When Allen came back, Hua Snake's heart that had been hanging finally settled.

Being able to wipe out a relatively weak tribe without leaving any survivors. Such a strange thing would make any leader feel uneasy and uneasy.

"..."

Allen was silent. He rushed back with injuries this time, just because he couldn't let the people of the Bone Broken Tribe escape. In the passage, the figure of the kobold Ye has never appeared. He even pretended to be in danger several times and the other party did not show up. Either the other party was a deserter and did not dare to take action; or the other party did not enter the passage at all and had already slipped out long ago. in the passage.

According to the impression the other party gave him, he didn't look like a cowardly person, so the most likely reason was that the other party didn't enter the passage early in the morning. Since there is no entry channel, where else can the other party go?

Naturally, he would rush back to Bone Broken Village and either lead his tribe to prepare for war, or lead his tribe to run away.

But now it seems that Allen's guesses are all wrong.

"Have you ever checked the other party's corpse to see if it is the dog head of the Bone Broken Tribe?"

Allen raised his head and asked carefully. "We have checked them all, and the burnt corpses are indeed kobolds, and the injuries suffered are all in the heart or neck."

Hua She thought carefully and told Allen what he saw.

"...No matter what, the annihilation of the Bone Broken Tribe is a good thing for our tribe!"

Allen thought hard to no avail. When he was invited to the Bone Broken Tribe, he roughly estimated the population of the other party, which was about this number. If Hua She and the others counted correctly, that meant that even if there were survivors from the other side, there probably wouldn't be many left.

A small team of ten or twenty people is living in the wilderness with no fixed place. Although it may be led by a powerful assassin like Ye, it should be no problem to occupy a small territory and develop again. But if you send people to track the whereabouts of the opponent's small force, it may be a little difficult. After all, Ye is not a big threat to you, but if it were other people, they might be killed by the opponent if they don't pay attention. .

The little girl Erin is capable of tracking. The Shadow Walker's ability to stay hidden is indeed superior. However, her fighting ability is poor and she has not really experienced many fights. Ellen can't trust this little girl to go out on her own adventure. .

The most important point is that the movement of a small-scale team will not leave many traces, and after such a long time, even if there are any traces, they will have long since dissipated. In the vast wilderness, trying to find a team of 1-20 people is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Let the people on duty in the village allocate more manpower these days. You leaders also allocate tasks. You can do whatever else you need to do."

"okay."

In the end, Allen gave the flower snake a few words with some annoyance, and then sullenly ran to the Green Lake at the edge of the village. Now he urgently needed to vent, otherwise he was really afraid of being suppressed and getting sick.

For a time, the surface of Green Lake was rippling. The originally clear water quickly became turbid after Allen plunged into the lake. Countless fish came out of the water to breathe, and occasionally some fish turned up their white bellies. It actually made the children playing on the shore excited and jumped to the lake to catch fish.

It was not until a long time later that the breath held in Allen's lungs could no longer be sustained that his big, smooth head emerged from the lake, and he breathed in the fresh air. After venting his grievances, Allen got up from the lake and came to a small dirt bag covered with shrubs outside the village. He sat down without any image and regardless of the wet appearance on his body.

"Stone, that old dog of the Bone Crusher was decapitated by my sword, and I avenged you. However, I promised you that I would destroy the entire Bone Crusher tribe. I'm afraid I can't do it. By the time they arrive, they don’t even know who they provoked, and they wiped out the entire tribe before our tribe could kill them!!”

"Well, look at our village now. The life was much better than before. If you were still alive, I'm afraid your figure would definitely surpass that guy A Xiao..."

Buried in the small soil bag were stone corpses. There has never been a custom of burial in the wilderness. It was just that Allen wanted to leave a memory, and Philip brought the customs from humans over, so the lonely grave of stones Just stayed.

In fact, Allen has always been lonely. Everyone in the Green Field tribe is in awe of him, but few people can get close to him, except for those young and ignorant children, and the well-respected few like Kerr and Irene. The new generation that Allen loves, others never dare to truly reveal their hearts in front of Allen, and Allen will not tell them what is in his heart. As a clan leader or leader, you must shoulder your own responsibilities and never show your weak or kind side in front of your clan members. This is a taboo in the wilderness.

Only Shitou, a fool, although his brain is not that good and he is very greedy and lazy, can make Allen share his inner secrets with each other without any defense. Of course, most of the time Stone would just scratch his big furry head innocently, but even if the other party could not give him substantial help and advice, it could make Allen's heart peaceful.

It's just a pity that such a close and trusted partner and buddy died in his youngest years and was not able to grow up and accompany Allen.

"..."

"Okay, just stay here and watch me run our tribe better!! You will definitely regret why you left me so early!!"

"Phew!! I'm leaving!!"

Allen let out a long sigh, and his heart suddenly became peaceful, as if he had shed an old sludge, and his whole body felt relaxed.

The Bone Broken Tribe has brought too much burden to Allen. The strong obsession in his heart has been hidden and suppressed for more than ten years, and it has finally come to an end today. Although the result was not so perfect, at least he had avenged himself with his own hands. The Bone Crusher at least died in front of him.

"From now on, the Green Field Plain will belong to our Green Field Tribe!!"

That night, Allen summoned more than a dozen leaders of the clan and first boldly announced a fact.

"Over at Torrent Bay, Mauro, please send some manpower to clear out the Broken Bone Village. It's a pity to waste such good land. We must not take advantage of others."

"Yes."

"Also, let Manduli go around and see if their mine is still worth developing..."

"clear."

"...Remember to bring more people to avoid accidents."

The disappearance of the Bone Broken Tribe is a big event for the Green Field Plain, so Allen needs to take over all the territory and hunting grounds vacated after the Bone Broken Tribe disappears, and make arrangements in advance so as not to let other The tribe took advantage.

As for the eventuality in his mind, Allen could only suppress it. Even if the other party did leave a little fire, but with more than two hundred people dead at once, the threat of the other party was very important to the current situation. For the Green Field Tribe, it was too small, and Allen really didn't have the energy to send people to find the broken bone remnants that were just a possibility.

　No matter how cold and indifferent a person is, he should still have softness buried deep in his heart. In my opinion, this is a truly alive person.

　　However, Allen's weakness will only last for a moment, because he still has a great dream to pursue.
