Chapter [-]: The Thorns

"Hmm," Yan Yin said in surprise, "The thorn clan, what kind of race is this?"

Gu Li explained, "The thorns are famous for their thorns. They connect the thorns that fall off their bodies one by one to form a long and sharp thorn. Moreover, the thorns can not only Living in the mountains, you can also stay in the water for a long time. The water pools in front of the caves you saw before are traps for them to guard against enemy invasion. As long as they walk in without knowing it, then those thorn masters who are ambushing in the water pools will immediately Take a shot and stab him to death with the long thorn in your hand, "

"What," Ah Si said in surprise, "this thorn tribe is so smart."

"It's not smart," Gu Li said arrogantly, "The thorns are very stingy. Our giant palms want their long thorns to hunt for food in the swamp, but they are not willing to borrow them. If we have their long thorns, our Man will surely beat you,"

Yan Yin was very surprised and said, "Why, the long thorns of the thorn clan are really so powerful,"

"Of course," Gu Li said, "their long thorns are so hard that they can even pierce a stone in one fell swoop."

"Since that's the case," Hou Chi said, "then we might as well take a detour. We don't care if we don't have to confront these thorns, but ghost wolves and other soldiers probably won't be able to handle it."

At this time, Su Yanying said, "If you make a detour, you need to walk hundreds of miles, which is not cost-effective. I checked just now, and the number of these thorns is not very large. There are about a thousand people. It should be just a small ethnic group.

After pondering for a while, Yan Yin said, "Well, Master Han Qing, Datou and I will go and have a look. Hou Chi, you let the army station here. After we find out the situation, we will make the next decision."

"I won't go with you," Gu Li hurriedly said, "If I let them know that I was captured by you, it would be disgraceful to our giant palm clan. I would rather die than be seen by them as yours." captive,"

"Since he won't go, then I'll let you go." Su Yanying said, "I have also learned some barbarian languages ​​in the past few days, which can help with communication,"

Nodding her head, Yan Yin said, "Alright,"

Where the Thorns were located, mountains stretched in front of them.

Yan Yin and the others climbed over a series of mountains, and then came to a canyon.

The canyon is an inward U-shape, with valleys on both sides, extending inward, and a straight mountain in the middle.

However, each mountain is not very high, only about thirty feet high, but, as Datou said, the mountains are bare, with neither trees nor grass.

On the mountain wall on the other side of the canyon, caves less than half the height of a person can be seen everywhere.

In front of these caves, there are many large and small water pools. In the middle of the pools, there are long or short black thumb-thick long thorns. Coniferous Forest.

"I just checked. On the left and right sides of this group of mountains, there is a valley that is not as wide as one person. It leads to the depths in a detour. Our people can use this valley to pass through," Su Yanying said, "But , On both sides of this valley, there are also many caves like ours, and I feel that this place is like a turning mouth of a river, and the river turns again, and then creates a unique geographical environment here, "

Xia Hanqing also said at this time, "These stones are black rocks, and vegetation cannot grow on them. This kind of stones are not easy to get wet, and the texture is not very hard. It is not difficult to dig. In addition, it is indeed like a The fjord formed after the river passes through the valley, but it is very strange why there is no water here, I will go and have a look first to understand the specific situation, "

An imaginary long sword appeared at the foot, Xia Hanqing Yujian shot into the depths of the mountains.

"Commander, do you want to test it out?" Hou Chi said, "Let's go to find out the situation first, and catch one or two people from the Thorn tribe to ask about the situation."

Shaking his head, Yan Yin said, "You don't have the strength to protect your body, and you don't have clothes like the black windbreaker I wear. If you are hit by a long thorn, you will inevitably be injured. You all stay away and protect the young lady. I will go Tan Tan,"

After finishing speaking, Yan Yin jumped down the canyon, and then strode forward.

Just when he was approaching the water pool, he noticed that someone in the surrounding water pool visibly shook.

Apparently, as Gu Li said, there are indeed people from the Thorn tribe hiding in the pool.

Walking into the pool, Yan Yin keenly sensed that there was someone under the pool.

Glancing indifferently, Yan Yin suddenly grabbed a long thorn beside him, and suddenly lifted it upwards.

Immediately, there was a sharp cry, and then water splashed from the pools all around, and black shadows jumped out of it.

Immediately afterwards, in the eyes of Su Yanying and the others, humanoid monsters covered with spikes threw a long thorn at Yan Yin viciously.

There were also those who threw the long thorn in their hands towards Su Yanying.

However, under the protection of Hou Chi and others, the long thorns were knocked off by the violent punches.

On Yanyin's side, the owner of the long thorn he grabbed was kicked away by him, and the long thorns thrown at him were instantly opened up by his protective energy, blocking them one after another.

He glanced lightly at the barbarians who picked up the long thorn again, and Yan Yin looked at the thorn in his hand.

These long thorns are segmented by joints, and are made up of hollow long thorns. Each thorn is no more than half a foot long, but one is inserted into the empty stomach of the other, and in this way the current thorns are spliced ​​together. The long thorns in the hands of the thorn tribe are almost as long as one person.

The whole of the long thorn is coated with some very sticky glue, which makes it not only difficult to fall off, but also waterproof.

With a sudden force, the tough long thorn couldn't withstand Yan Yin's strength, and was cut off by him in an instant.

Only then did he settle down to look at the barbarians who were guarding him all around.

The skin is black, and there are long or short spikes all over the body. The long spikes are about half a foot long, and the short ones are no bigger than the width of a little finger. The lower body is covered with clothes made of animal skins, and a collar made of grass rope is wrapped around the neck. , above the collar, wearing the teeth and bones of some exotic animals.

They are not big, about half of Yan Yin's height, but they all look very capable, with a pair of black eyes staring closely at Yan Yin.

Throwing away the long thorn in his hand, Yan Yin grabbed the long thorn of another thorn barbarian.

The barbarian retreated in a hurry, and the surrounding barbarians of the thorn clan held their long thorns tightly and faced Yan Yin.

Some barbarians of the thorn clan stabbed at Yan Yin with their long thorns, but they were blocked by Yan Yin's protective energy.

Not dodging or dodging, facing the long thorn that was coming, Yan Yin grabbed it and pulled it hard.

The strong strength made the barbarians of the thorn tribe let go in a hurry to avoid being pulled to Yanyin's side.

In this way, Yan Yin walked around.

As he walked, he grabbed the long thorns in the hands of the thorn barbarians.

And those barbarians of the thorn clan wanted to attack Yan Yin, but Yan Yin's protective energy became an impenetrable barrier, blocking all attacks.

After a while, more than ten long thorns appeared in Yan Yin's hand.

As soon as he turned his hand, the long thorn was put into his palm.

Then, he continued to collect the long thorns in the hands of the surrounding barbarians.

"What is the commander doing?" Looking at Yan Yin, Hou Chi broke the long thorn in his hand, and said, "The long thorn is indeed tough, but it's not very powerful."

"That's not necessarily the case." Ah San picked up a long thorn that was blown away by the thorn barbarians before, and stabbed hard at a big tree next to him.

In an instant, the long thorn went straight through the tree.

"I don't know how to make this long thorn, but it is very sharp." Ah San pulled out the long thorn and said, "This thing is still useful for dealing with the enemy. No wonder Gu Li said that if he borrowed the thorn The long thorns of the thorn tribe are much easier to deal with us. It is not fun to be stabbed by this thing, and only the commander has the body protection, which can be defended. If we integrate the enemy to fight, suddenly stabbed in the back suddenly A long thorn like this is impossible to defend against."

Su Yanying also picked up a long thorn, observed it carefully, and then said, "This long thorn should be connected one by one by the long thorns on these thorn tribes. Each thorn is hollow, and then The outside is coated with a layer of gum, which not only sticks it firmly, but also increases its toughness, "

Looking at Yan Yin who was still snatching the long thorn from the barbarians of the thorn clan, Su Yanying pondered for a while and said, "If I guessed correctly, he should want to use the long thorn as a bow and arrow,"

"Bows and arrows," Hou Chi said in surprise, "Young Madam, you said bows and arrows, but the commander is a martial arts practitioner. We have never seen him use a bow before."

Smiling slightly, Su Yanying said, "He has a bow, a very powerful bow, but he doesn't have that bow right now, so it's normal if you haven't seen it before."

Just as he was talking, suddenly there was another sharp cry, and from the caves around, one after another jumped out of the barbarians.

Like the barbarians outside, they also held long thorns in their hands.

It's just that the long thorns in their hands are shorter than those of the thorn clansmen who came out of the water pool.

At this time, many barbarians of the thorn tribe gathered together, looking nervously at Yanyin who was holding a long thorn that he had just snatched from them.

An old man with gray hair walked out from the crowd of dark-skinned barbarians. He held something like a horn in his hand, and he was the one who blew the sound that sounded before.

The old man looked at Yan Yin and murmured a lot, and then the surrounding barbarians pointed their long thorns at him, with a look of death on their faces.

Su Yanying was about to step forward, but she saw Yanyin make a sudden move, stepped forward to grab the old man, and then flew back.

Immediately, about hundreds of barbarians from the thorn tribe wanted to come forward angrily.

Without Yan Yin's order, Hou Chi and the other nine martial kings shot out one after another, and their powerful fists swept away immediately, overturning the numerous stabbing clansmen in front of them.

Pressing the shoulder of the old man of the thorn family, Yan Yin looked at Su Yanying and said, "Tell them not to act rashly, otherwise, I will kill him,"

Nodding her head, Su Yanying immediately conveyed Yan Yin's meaning in barbarian language.

Immediately, those turbulent barbarians of the thorn clan stopped one after another, looking at Yan Yin and the others nervously.

"Very good." Yanyin nodded, looked at Su Yanying, and said, "Ask this old man of the thorn tribe why he let his people deal with us, and I need all the long thorns in their hands. "

Nodding her head, Su Yanying communicated with the old man of the Thorn clan who was caught by Yan Yin,
