Chapter 2 Misfortune and Fortune Depend on Each Other

That voice was full of arrogance and domineering, making Zhang Tie think of those second generation ancestors in Heiyan City once he heard it.

As soon as the voice fell, the team of cavalry had rushed to the front of the convoy, but they did not go too far, but stopped when they were more than ten meters away from the convoy. Zhang Tie looked at the faces of other people in the convoy. Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, I found that there was no fear or hatred in the expressions on everyone's faces, but a little complicated. From this point alone, Zhang Tie knew that the relationship between the Gray Eagle Tribe and these people was not very tense.

The old man with Aurora even stroked his luggage slightly to one of the cavalry.

The mounts of most of the cavalry are creatures similar to the iron horned beasts of the Norman Empire, which are very similar to rhinoceros. Only the mount of the middle one of the cavalry is particularly fierce and tall. A mid-high animal, a pair of three-foot-long sharp sword-like fangs spit out from the mouth of the ferocious creature, the silver-gray fur has a strange metal-like texture, and a pair of golden eyes are very sharp. Feeling oppressive, the place where this creature is, and those iron horned beast-like mounts next to it can't help keeping a little distance from it.

Sitting on this ferocious mount was a tall man in his mid-twenties. At this moment, the man has a feeling of looking forward to his own strength, and it seems that his strength should not be weak.

What interested Zhang Tie was that most of these cavalrymen had spear pouches hanging on their mounts, and there were rows of flying spears in the pouches. When Zhang Tie was in Kurgan Village, he Knowing that many warriors on the ice and snow wasteland were using throwing weapons such as spears, but seeing so many people carrying so many spears at the same time for the first time, Zhang Tie still felt a little fresh.

Because his current identity is completely an unlucky captive, Zhang Tie did not speak, but stood behind the crowd to see what these guys were going to do.

"Nurdo, why did you come to our Gray Eagle Tribe?" Aurora looked at the cavalry rushing coldly, and asked unceremoniously.

"I came to Gray Eagle Tribe to discuss something with you!" Nurdo said indifferently.

"Is there anything we can discuss between us?"

"Ha ha……"

"I heard that those pioneers found a ruins of a city before the cataclysm in the cracks of the Hydera Glacier, and there may be fragments of the Star of God. Now pioneers and experts from all directions are rushing to the cracks of the Hydera Glacier, ready to launch A windfall, my dear cousin, don't you have any ideas about the wealth that is placed in front of your house?"

"I am very clear about the strength of the Gray Eagle tribe. We only do what we can. If you want to find cannon fodder, you are looking for the wrong person!" Aurora snorted coldly.

"Don't be so absolute, Aurora..." The man on the ferocious mount straightened up slightly, leaned forward, and looked down at Aurora, "Our strength wants to compete for the fragments of the Star of God Naturally, words are not enough. We can't intervene in this kind of matter involving masters of the sword master level, but do you know that the things in the ruins discovered this time may exceed your imagination. If you find out, there is no reason for those foreign pioneers to take all the advantages. Except for your Gray Eagle tribe, all the tribes in the south have already moved, and they are going to organize their people to go down to have a look. For the sake of relatives, I came here to remind you, lest you miss the opportunity!"

Hearing these words, Aurora pondered slightly...

Zhang Tie was listening on the sidelines, secretly surprised,

He also didn't expect that the discovery of the ruins in the cracks of the Hydra Glacier would become more and more troublesome. Even the tribes here couldn't help but want to make a move. The old antiques buried in the ground, especially the relics before the cataclysm, are less than a thousand years old. In many cases, there are basically no valuable things in the so-called ruins before the cataclysm.

"Aurora, if you want to participate, then, in two days, take your tribe's bear warriors to gather at the mouth of the Fischer River. After all, the Gray Eagle tribe is also an eagle-level tribe in the southern part of the wasteland. You must not let the Gray Eagle The tribe is downgraded under your hands, if it becomes a tribe of squirrels, it will be bad, hahahaha..." Amidst the arrogant laughter, Nurdo and his team of cavalry rushed like the wind again. left.

After standing quietly for a few seconds, Aurora waved her hand, "Hui tribe..."

...

From here to the Gray Eagle Tribe, it was only less than two kilometers away, and in a short while, the mighty convoy arrived outside the tribe.

This tribe is much larger than Kurgan Village, but the buildings in the tribe are the same as those in Kurgan Village. They are all low wooden houses, and there are few tall buildings and stone buildings. Zhang Tie estimates that the tribe's population is around 30,000 to 50,000 if the population is estimated based on the number and density of the tribe.

Seeing the convoy coming back, many children in the tribe ran away from the tribe, chasing the convoy excitedly.

"There's salt, I see salt!"

"And sugar, those boxes are full of sugar!"

The children screamed with excitement, especially after several people in the convoy spilled two handfuls of candy at them, those children screamed even more happily.

Aurora is like a star at this time. She walks in front of the convoy, accepts the cheers from others, and waves her arms to the surrounding crowd from time to time.

Zhang Tie walked along with the convoy, observing the environment as he walked. Many people in this tribe raised livestock in their yards. Most of the livestock were elk and cattle, as well as sheep and other things.

There are some simple processing workshops in the tribe, the most conspicuous one is of course the processing workshop of seabuckthorn wine. Zhang Tie can smell the smell of seabuckthorn wine from a long distance, and the ironware processing workshop is full of smoke, and there are bursts of clanging and clanging. The sound of knocking, a small number of semi-finished swords, flying spears, and some daily necessities are hung on the wall outside the blacksmith workshop.

In a yard by the side of the road, Zhang Tie saw many women in the tribe tanning leather. Those tanned leathers were piled up in bundles as high as a man in that yard. Zhang Tie almost jumped up. Those leather-like wolves were wolves, giant wolves a circle larger than ordinary wolves, and giant wolves in the wilderness with gray-white fur.

If it weren't for such a large group of people around, Zhang Tie would have laughed out loud. What does the leather of these wasteland wolves mean? This means that not far from this tribe, you can hunt the giant wolves of the wasteland. With these giant wolves, is your own giant wolf Qiliguo still far away?

"I heard that there is a beast tide here. Why, there are so many wasteland wolves here?" Zhang Tie asked Seton next to him in a casual tone.

"Well, there are a lot, but we have long been accustomed to it. The tribe is very safe. The priests in the tribe have imposed bloody territory on the land around the tribe. Giant wolves will not break into the range of the tribe. The Gray Eagle tribe lives here After hundreds of years, I already know how to deal with these beasts. Every few years, the beast tide of giant wolves will break out here, which brings us some extra money. The warriors in the tribe take the boys to hunt during the day The wasteland giant wolf, not only can earn some money, but also can train people!" Seton didn't think of the meaning of Zhang Tie's question at all, so he didn't have any intentions, and directly told Zhang Tie what Zhang Tie wanted to know.

"By the way, I just heard the conversation between that person and Aurora. Aurora seems to have a lot of status in the Gray Eagle tribe?"

"Aurora's mother is the priest of the tribe, and Aurora's father is the chief of the tribe. Aurora will inherit the position of the chief of the tribe. This tribe belongs to Aurora. Do you think she has any status here?" Seton said in a muffled voice.

"Ah!" This answer really surprised Zhang Tie, he didn't expect that woman wearing a mask to have such an identity, "Then why would she still be a bounty hunter, this profession is very dangerous, Would her parents just watch her take such a risk?"

"Aurora's mother and father are no longer here..." Seton's voice dropped suddenly, and he glanced at Zhang Tie, his eyes full of vicissitudes and helplessness, "Many times in this life, people have to do something about themselves. I don't like to do things, especially people in some special positions. In the past, when Aurora's parents were still alive, Aurora was just a naive and beautiful little girl. She didn't even kill a bug. When I was little, I gave her a rabbit, and then the rabbit died, and Aurora cried for two whole days..."

In this era, Zhang Tie can probably figure out what problems a woman, a tribal heir who has lost her greatest support, will face just by thinking about it in her head. Some people with ulterior motives jumped out and wanted to snatch or forcibly seize what the child deserved—relatives with ulterior motives, it seems that they have met one just now, and they don’t know what else is there besides this.

Suddenly, Zhang Tie felt a little sympathetic to Aurora.

"So what about you, what kind of role are you here?"

"I am the captain of the guard of the head of the Gray Eagle Tribe!" Seton finally revealed his identity, and Zhang Tie finally realized why Seton was so nervous when he restrained Aurora.

"You really want Aurora to be the chief of the tribe now?"

"This is the meaning of my life. If it weren't for this, I should have died twenty years ago!" Seton said lazily.

Zhang Tie rolled his eyes, "Then, maybe we should have a good talk!"

"Don't you want to play tricks?" Seton looked around and warned Zhang Tie in a low voice.

"Actually, you and Aurora both know that I'm not the kind of heinous person!" Zhang Tie also lowered his voice, "If it wasn't for misunderstanding, my ability would not pose any threat to you. I don't have any malice, on the contrary, I am very willing to help my friends, of course, not in my current capacity and in this state..." Zhang Tie raised his hand while speaking, and put it on his wrist The collar of imprisonment showed Seton.

"I'll tell Aurora!" Seton said this in a low voice, then ignored Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie nodded. He has not yet reached the point of despair. He wants to try any chance that can change his current situation. What he said just now is not all false. In short, if the cooperation is beneficial to both parties If everything is beneficial, there really is no unresolvable misunderstanding between him and that woman.

After walking a few hundred meters in the tribe, Zhang Tie saw a relatively tall and imposing building located in the central square of the tribe. The building was built on a soil bag in the center of the tribe. It was the highest place and it was made of stone. , it seems that there is a little more momentum. Of course, all of this is relative. If the same building appeared in a place like Zhongyiyang City or Guanxing City in Huaiyuan County, it would look like a fool.

When the convoy was about to approach that place, three people came out of the building at the same time, three old people, the one on the left of the three old people was holding a strange cane in his hand, his hair and beard were all white, Although it was a distance away, Zhang Tie had an inexplicable sense of familiarity when he saw that person. Needless to say, Zhang Tie also knew who that person was—Elder Moke, a priest of the Gray Eagle Tribe.

Elder Mo Ke took a look at Zhang Tie, and the bone-exploding needles in Zhang Tie's body moved a little, and the pain in his body stopped as soon as he touched it, and Zhang Tie's heart shuddered.

There are two other people beside Elder Moke. Zhang Tie doesn't know who they are, but the one who can stand with the elders of the tribe must be at the elder level.

The convoy stopped under the dirt bag.

Aurora went straight up to the three people, and after reaching the top, said something to the three people, the three people walked into the building, I don't know if it was an illusion, when the person in the middle turned around , Zhang Tie felt that person's eyes linger on his face for a moment.

Seeing someone coming to count and move the things on the truck, Seton took Zhang Tie and left here. After walking for a while, the two came to a small wooden house.

...

"You stay here temporarily, don't run around, the power of the bone-exploding needle is not something you can bear, don't make fun of your own life! Someone will bring you the food for dinner in a while!" After finishing this sentence After talking and calling someone to stand guard outside the cabin, Seton left.

Zhang Tie looked at the shabby hut and the young man standing on guard outside the door. He didn't say anything, but sat cross-legged on the wooden bed inside the hut, and a mental force instantly penetrated into Heitie. In the castle.

"Heller, can you hear me?"

"My lord, Heller is always at your call!"

"You know what I want to ask?"

"As long as the castle master enters the Black Iron Castle, I can remove the prison collar that is restraining the castle master with a snap of my fingers, but there will be some problems with the bone-exploding needles in the castle master's body..."

The information sent by Heller made Zhang Tie feel relaxed and tense at the same time.

"What's wrong with the Bone Exploding Needle?"

"To get rid of this kind of thing, you only need to rely on the castle master himself, I can't do it for you!"

"On my own? How do I get rid of this stuff myself?"

"Didn't the castle master try it just now?"

Zhang Tie thought for a while, and suddenly his heart moved, "You mean to let me run the fighting spirit to remove the Bone Explosive Needle from my body?"

"That's right, the so-called bone-exploding needle is the secret method of the priests of the Ice and Snow Wasteland. What this secret method implants in your body is not a real needle-shaped metal object, but a special skill that the priests use their spiritual power and their own cultivation to implant into your body. A kind of energy body condensed from the fighting spirit of the human body, the essence of the bone-exploding needle is actually a kind of active energy that can be controlled by people. This kind of energy will bring great pain and damage to your body, but it is not without loss of!"

"You're saying that every time I run my fighting spirit and get attacked by the Bone Needle, the energy of the Bone Needle itself will also weaken!"

"Yes, the Bone Explosive Needle's energy is weakening when it hurts you!"

"Then if the bone-exploding needle is so easy to break, how can the priests of the Ice and Snow Wasteland use it to control people? Isn't everyone able to break this secret technique as long as they can bear the pain?" Zhang Tie suddenly thought of the key point Since this kind of thing can be resolved in such a simple way, it seems to lose its meaning.

"That's the case in theory, but it's not that easy in practice. Every time the Bone Explosive Needle attacks a person and makes a person feel great pain, although its energy is attenuating, this attenuation will not It is reflected in the feeling it creates, can you understand what I mean, if a person feels the same great pain every time he dissolves the explosive needle, the pain will never decrease every time One point, how many times that person can endure such pain, once, ten times, or a hundred times, human instinct will make him choose to stay away from pain and escape this hopeless struggle!"

"You mean that the working principle of the bone-exploding needle energy is a bit like an upright cone-shaped container filled with water. I connected a faucet to the bottom of the container. Every time I turn on the faucet, the water will flow continuously. It doesn't stop, its flow doesn't change in my opinion, but the water in the container is gradually decreasing, until the end, I don't even know if the water has drained?"

"Correct, that's the way it is, as long as you turn the faucet to a certain point, there's no change in the amount of runoff or pain you get until the water in that cone-shaped container is completely drained, and I believe that those People under the control of the Explosive Bone Needle probably don't know that their self-inflicted resistance is actually consuming the energy of the Explosive Bone Needle every time they run their fighting spirit. The existence principle of this secret method will make people There is no hope of getting rid of it! It is possible that even the priest who casts this arcane technique does not necessarily know that the energy of the Explosive Needle may be consumed in this way."

"Will I do damage to my body by doing this?"

"This is the second point I want to say. The ability to withstand damage brought by the iron tire fruit can allow your body to withstand the huge damage caused by dissolving the explosive bone needle, and your primary recovery body can After your body is injured, it can help you recover quickly, and with these two as the basis, it becomes possible to use battle energy to defuse the explosive bone needle!"

"What would happen if it was an ordinary person?"

"In terms of the ability of ordinary people's bodies to withstand injuries and recover, after encountering a situation like yours, 99% of people have not completely dissipated the energy of the bone-exploding needle, and the bone-exploding needle gave it time and time again. The cumulative effect of the damage caused by the body is enough to destroy his body, exhaust his vitality, and easily kill him. Therefore, in this sense, Aurora is right, except for the caster Other than me, the Bone Explosive Needle is almost incomprehensible to anyone!"

Zhang Tie let out a long breath, and he felt free again, "If I want to dissolve these bone-exploding needles in my body, how long will it take?"

"Your current body's maximum tolerance is five times a day, each time for 20 minutes. If you persist continuously, it only takes five days for the bone-exploding needles in your body to be completely dissolved. I need to remind you Yes, the moment you completely dissolve the Bone Explosive Needle, the caster will feel it!"

"If I run away now, will the bone-exploding needle in my body really explode and kill me all at once?"

"Will do!"

"No farther away!"

"Yes, no matter how far away, this thing is like remote sensing crystals and electromagnetic waves. As long as they are in the same space, the sensing range has no distance limit, just like many twins who are thousands of miles apart, but the same body If it is uncomfortable, the other one will feel the same, this is a reason!"

"Then if that old man wants my life now, wouldn't I have no ability to resist at all?" Zhang Tie asked. If this is the case, then it is really almost the same as waiting to die.

"It's not that bad. The energy excitation of the bone explosion needle has a process. In fact, it is not as violent as a real explosion. The process of its energy releasing violently will take about 40 seconds to 60 seconds. It's really about that At that time, you entered the Black Iron Fort recklessly, and different space barriers can cut off that person's induction and control of the Bone Explosive Needle!"

Zhang Tie finally breathed a sigh of relief. When that time really came, that was the only way he could go back to the Black Iron Fort, and then "digest" the bone-exploding needle in the Black Iron Fort before coming out. I hope I don’t really go to that step. If that’s the case, after I come out, I’m afraid it’s only safe to leave the ice and snow wasteland with a new look. I didn't expect that the process of harvesting Qiliguo would cause so many troubles this time.

It seemed that he knew Zhang Tie's mood at the moment. After communicating with Zhang Tie for a long time, Heller finally gave Zhang Tie a surprise.

"Don't worry, Master Castle. In fact, the bone-exploding needle is not completely useless?"

"Benefits? What benefits?"

"Because the process of consuming the energy of the bone-exploding needle is the process of your body being attacked by the bone-exploding needle, this process will quickly promote the growth of the iron embryo fruit. If the bone-exploding needles are melted, at least the Castle Master can get three iron embryo fruits this time!"

Zhang Tie was stunned to get three iron embryo fruits, and then finally laughed out loud...

"Another piece of good news?"

"What good news?"

"The first seabuckthorn tree seed that has completed mutation evolution has come out!" (To be continued [This text is provided by x-on:ch8296929 (Dian Dian Han Zhi), bring your daughter-in-law x-on:吴郔 in the front row].)
