Wu Song

Chapter [-] Suspicious shadow The golden wind suddenly blew up, blowing countless blood-colored ripples of the grass as bright as blood.This kind of wild grass is as red as blood, with only one stem and one leaf in the whole body. It is as high as Zhang Xu, dense and dense, and the distance from each other is no more than a finger. There was a sound of 'huhu huahua'.Caodangzi is hundreds of miles long and wide, among which there are only occasionally three or five dead trees pointing obliquely at the sky, like palms scratching at the sky.

In Caodangzi, there is only one avenue with a width of two feet leading directly to the depths of the southern mountains, but this road is full of potholes, and occasionally you can see stones the size of a human head protruding from the ground, which makes the cart shake wildly along the way If it wasn't for the good quality of these large carts brought by Xia Jie, they would have fallen apart a long time ago.

A group of more than a thousand people walked on this grassland wasteland, and they could hear all kinds of strange beasts screaming in their ears, and suddenly there was a desolate and ancient smell from the bottom of their hearts.Occasionally, an extremely mournful eagle or eagle's long cry came from the sky, which made people feel a chill in their hearts for no reason.Riding on the back of a black sheep and walking at the forefront of the team, Akamura, who was wearing a caravan standard guard uniform, could not help shrinking his neck, cursing a few words in a low voice about this damn place.

Riding on Mo Qilin's back, Xia Jie, who only wore an animal skin gown, exposing the terrifying tyrannosaurus head tattoo on his chest, was in high spirits. Laughing, these elite soldiers suddenly woke up from the bleak atmosphere caused by the influence of the surrounding environment.Immediately afterwards, Bai also jumped up suddenly, his body swelled to a height of five or six feet, and he raised his head to the sky with a crazy and violent roar. Suddenly, countless birds and beasts in the grass, far and near, were frightened and danced wildly, and suddenly the surrounding hundred miles became peaceful. Quiet, no more birds and beasts chirping.

Bai's roar not only frightened the birds and beasts in the wilderness, but also made the hair of Mutu and his soldiers stand on end.These fighters with the warlike factor of the wolf flowing in their blood, when they heard the battle cry from the real prehistoric beast, they felt blood rushing straight to their foreheads, wishing to roar a few times, and fight Bailai head-on It's fun.Fortunately, they also possessed the precise and meticulous minds of the sea people, barely controlled their fighting spirit, and did not make such stupid actions as hitting a stone with a pebble.

Xing Tian Dafeng was riding crookedly on the black sheath, holding a light saber in his hand that he thought could kill a sparrow, looked at Xia Jie's back weakly, and suddenly complained to Xing Tian Xuanzhi beside him : "Second brother, I already regret taking this errand. There are no beauties, no delicious food, no good music in this ghostly place, only mountains, water, trees, grass, and few people are seen. It's really boring. Makes me want to kill."

Xing Tianxuanzhi's face was also extremely ugly, he complained in a low voice: "Their troops are all going to the east to confront the Dongyi people. I heard that Xing Tianbi and Xing Tianyan also brought their own people to follow. This time, they are afraid that they are going to make great military achievements. Sigh, why are our Heimen Army and Xuanbiao Army still staying in Anyi?"

Xing Tianpan snorted coldly, rolled a pair of strange eyes and said angrily: "I heard that someone gave advice to the Patriarch, saying that our Second Army's combat strength is too weak, and we are afraid that it will be easily swallowed by the Dongyi people, so let us stay in Anyi , so it's our turn to come to this southern barbarian land to live a good life." He punched out angrily, breaking a dead tree by the roadside, and snorted again and again: "Xia Jie didn't make sense. Wrong, this time we can make a fortune and go back to Anyi, but after leaving the grassland, we have been walking for another three to five days, why is there still no one there?"

"Hmph, the land of the southern barbarians, do you still think how densely populated this place is?" Xingtian Xuanzhi sneered a few times, and changed the topic: "But, brothers, be careful that these accompanying sea people are. The one called Mutu's, I saw him peeking at Brother Xia Jie's back a few days ago, and there was a murderous look in his eyes."

"Murderous?" Xingtian Aolong hurried over, glared fiercely at Mutu who was in Xu Kaiwai in front of him, and said darkly: "Then, why don't we kill them now. These hundred sea people seem to be a little bit Strength, it’s not bad to use them for entertainment. In fact, this time we come to hunt down and kill Cain who destroyed our palace, how can we use these sea people?”

Xingtian Xuanzhi slapped Xingtian Aolong's head fiercely, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Use your brain! Think about it first, why this Mutu wanted to kill Brother Xiajie. Could it be that An Dao Did you order it? Then why did he kill Brother Xia Jie? If they really want to attack, we brothers should be their target?"

The brothers of Xing Tian's family pondered for a while, then Xing Tian Dafeng nodded, and said in a low voice: "Forget it, everyone should pay more attention. I can easily kill these hundred sea people by myself, but don't worry What did they do? Brother Xia Jie said that he has received the inheritance of Yinwu Taiyi, and his strength has skyrocketed, but these weak sea people can't hurt him."

The Xingtian brothers here have just finished planning, and something has happened ahead.

Holding a light bow and a long arrow, Akamura, who was gesticulating towards the grass by the side of the road, suddenly heard a heavy roar, and then a heavy horn ax came out of the grass by the side of the road with a cold light. It flew out, spanned a distance of more than a hundred feet, and slashed heavily on the ground five or six feet in front of Chi Liang.The handle of this ox horn ax is about ten feet long and short, as thick as one hand. The face of the ax is two feet wide and two inches thick.

Chi Mu was so startled that he almost shot an arrow in the direction where the ax flew out from the bushes on the roadside.He felt apprehensive for a while, if such a huge ax, such a huge force, were to be chopped on his Chi Mu, even Chi Mu would not be able to withstand such strength.He is different from Xia Jie, he is not a great witch with earthy nature, and he does not have that kind of overbearing and unreasonable body.

Seeing that Chi Liang loosened his fingers and was about to shoot the arrow, Xia Jie suddenly jumped off the unicorn and came to Chi Ling's side, holding his bow and arrow with one hand, slowly shaking his head.This kind of interception method, Xia Jie and his tribe often did it back then, was the rule of the wild land in the south, and Chi Liang could not let a reckless shot of an arrow trigger a fight between the two sides.

At that moment, Xia Jie opened his clothes on purpose, revealing the tattoo pattern on his chest, strode up to the horn ax slanted on the ground, slapped the handle of the ax vigorously, and shouted: "Good job!" Ax, I’m afraid it weighs more than a thousand catties? Brothers of which clan are joking with me, Chihu Tyrannosaurus? I am a member of the Chihu clan, and I brought my master to the Southern Wilderness to exchange goods. What do brothers have? Good stuff, take it out and have a look.”

He looked up to the sky and laughed: "Don't worry, I'm not an enemy."

The sound of "唰唰唰" came from the grass, and more than thirty big men with disheveled hair and only covered their lower bodies with animal skin pants came out of the grass holding various weapons.The man in the lead was only a punch shorter than Xia Jie, with dark skin all over his body, tattooed with patterns of insects, fish, birds and animals, looking extremely ferocious and terrifying.He opened his arms, "haha" and greeted Xia Jie with a big smile: "It turns out that he is a brother of the Chihu clan. Which branch of the Chihu are you from? Hey, that's right, the tattoo on your body is from your Chihu family. Tiger Clan rules. What good cargo did you bring?"

Xia Jie and the big man hugged each other heavily, and both of them exerted force on their arms at the same time, weighing each other's strength.With a slight touch of the four iron arms, Xia Jie couldn't help being a little startled. The strength of this man is not under the Xingtian Gale. There can be no such power.He didn't dare to be negligent at the moment, he opened his arms and bowed: "Ha, there is sea salt, and there is real old wine, it's not the lowly things that the small caravans on the grassland use to fool us tribal people There are also some iron and various weapons, even more powerful bows and crossbows, brother, what do you want to exchange for?"

Sea salt is something that all tribes in the Southern Wilderness need; ironware and swords are even more indispensable in daily life.But what moved the heart of this big man the most was the four words of good old wine.At that moment, the big man clicked his mouth and exclaimed: "Is there any good wine? Tsk tsk, let's talk in our village. If it's really good wine, it's worth whatever you can exchange it for." He looked at Xia Jie again in astonishment. , nodded and said: "I am Heiyan from the Mountain Bear Clan. This time I will take my brothers to see if I can hunt a few fat animals. Hey, brother, you have great strength."

Xia Jie smiled and said nothing, but stretched his arm slightly, allowing the muscles on the exposed arm to undulate and flow continuously, showing a sense of infinite strength.It's just nonsense, the current Xia Jie can no longer describe him in terms of strength, how could this Heiyan understand the strength Xia Jie possesses now?

The people from Heiyan had already gathered beside Xia Jie's convoy, stretched their noses and sniffed fiercely the strong aroma of wine that was still permeating through the mud and wine jars. He yelled: "Hei Yan, it's really good wine. It's much better than the previous wines. This time, we need to change a little more. Have a good drink."

As soon as he heard that it was really good wine, Hei Yan's face suddenly showed a strange look of coexistence of pain and happiness.For those who are happy, good wine is the favorite thing of southern men; for those who are miserable, how many animal skins do you need for a urn of such good wine?Even for those ordinary low-quality spirits, nearly a hundred pieces of rare skins can be exchanged for a urn, let alone such a good wine?Hei Yan desperately clicked his mouth, forcibly held back his saliva, and thought there: "Brother Chihu is a member of the caravan, discuss it, maybe you can give us a good price?"

Worrying about gains and losses, Heiyan invited Xia Jie to go to their village to rest first, and a whistle attracted more than a dozen saber-toothed tigers they had tamed to clear the way ahead, and he led Xia Jie and his team towards the village.The men of the Shanxiong tribe suddenly saw that Xia Jie's mount was a huge black unicorn, their eyes lit up, and at the same time there was a look of horror on their faces, and they were already full of admiration for Xia Jie.Some even looked at the black steed that Xia Jie and the others used to pull the cart with envious eyes, but shook their heads repeatedly. Such a good mount was used to pull the cart, and the strength of this caravan was too strong.

The village of the Shanxiong tribe is located in the center of this blood-red grassland, five miles in length and width, and more than [-] tribesmen live here.The houses in this village are all made of straw bricks made of soil mixed with grass leaves and dried in the sun. The two-foot-thick grass bricks are thick and strong, which can effectively resist the invasion of wild animals.The houses are scattered in a mess on the open space surrounded by three layers of wooden fences inside and outside, giving people a feeling like a ecstasy array.There is only one avenue running through the middle of the village, and hundreds of children and livestock are playing on that avenue.

Seeing the caravan enter the village under the leadership of Heiyan and the others, all the Shanxiong people who were busy in front of and behind the houses of the village surrounded them one after another, and some people began to ask loudly what items the caravan brought for exchange.Xia Jie deliberately yelled a few words in a dialect with a southern accent, saying that there were a lot of things like salt, good wine, ironware, and cloth. Immediately, an active Shanxiong tribe rushed to his house, To fetch items that you can exchange for.

Hei Yan waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, what does it look like? There is no reason for the brothers from the Chihu clan to watch the joke. Have you never seen a caravan? Get out of the way, get out of the way, I will take them there The elder’s house. Hey, Brother Chihu, I’m afraid we don’t have enough houses in our village, so you have to set up your own tents to rest.” Heiyan laughed a few times, shook his head and said, “Our place is different from the villages in the north. There are few caravans, and there are no houses for the caravans.”

Xia Jie nodded with a smile and said, "It's okay, Chi Liang, take your brothers to set up a tent and take care of the goods. I'll discuss with their elders a price for the exchange. Big brother, Yan Xin, come and see with me." ? Well, Mutu, you go to rest in the tent, we can handle these things...”

Mutu nodded when he heard the words, tightened the hood wrapped around his head, and dared not make a sound.The blondes, how dare they show their true colors in these villages?If they are accidentally seen with faces that are very different from those of the Great Xia or the Southern Barbarians, it will probably only take two or three days, and there will be rumors everywhere in the southern mountains that strange people have entered the mountains. Cain and the others Is there anyone who escapes without hearing the news?

Yan Xin snorted a little dissatisfied, and covered her face below her eyes with a layer of gauze under the hood.The smell in this village is really bad, there are livestock and poultry manure everywhere, and there are several stinky puddles on the side of the road, with a layer of slippery dead green moss growing on it, which looks extremely disgusting, and there is a kind of An indescribable stench emanated from it.This kind of place is like hell to Yan Xin, how can she bear this kind of smell?

She didn't even dare to walk on the ground, so she could only pat Xia Jie on the shoulder, and let him drive the ink unicorn, and swayed all the way to the door of the largest earthen house in the middle of the village. Then she put Xia Jie's arm and let Xia Jie After holding her up the seemingly spotless steps, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Xing Tian Dafeng nonchalantly tied his mount to a boulder at the door, kicked away a domestic pig with a muddy nose trying to butt his boots, and shouted loudly: "Oh, you can always sit down!" Take a break. Brother Heiyan, clean up some wild beasts and roast them, just in time for a bite of fresh game. You have a lot of wild beasts and birds here, but we can’t see them in Daxia. Well, we will exchange you with a urn of wine ,How about it?"

Heiyan was overjoyed, and he yelled at his clansmen without hesitation, and asked them to pick out wild beasts, wash them, and send them here, while he yelled a few times into the earthen house: "Elder, Mr. Wu!" , there is a caravan coming, and I am waiting to discuss with you how to exchange these goods." Before the people inside could reply, Heiyan kicked open the door of the earthen house, and gestured with his hand: "Chi Hu Brothers, come in, eh, why don't you bring the jar of wine now, so we can eat it with animal meat?"

Xia Jie laughed, quickly rolled his eyes at Xing Tian Dafeng, and said loudly: "Chiliang, ask someone to bring up a jar of 50-year-old good wine. Hey, this is really good wine, not something ordinary spirits can compare to. Ah." Xia Jie thought to himself, Xing Tian Dafeng is really a prodigal son, the price of these beasts is at most the price of a tael of sea salt, and he actually sent out a urn of old wine.If items are exchanged at this speed, they will have to go back home after walking half the distance. Where can they exchange so many items?

The eyes of Heiyan and the strong men who came after him turned green when they heard that it was 50-year-old real wine. They kindly invited Xia Jie and the others to enter this two-story earthen house with a length and width of nearly ten feet. Beside the firepit, a skinny old man who was slowly burning a poisonous snake with charcoal fire had a red light on his face, and shouted loudly: "It turns out that a distinguished guest has come to the door, please hurry up, take the animal skin The cushions are all spread out. Well, come on, build another fire, and warm up the wine before eating. It's cold, and it's not good to eat cold wine."
