Chapter 1724: Mystery

Earl did not run away, but was still waiting on the cliff on the back mountainside. However, it was also very scared by the gunshots and explosions. If Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu came back later, it might really run away.

"Boss, lady boss, I heard gunshots, are you all right?" Earl looked very concerned.

Ning Tao said: "We came back in good condition. You said that there is nothing wrong. Do you want to ask what happened in the temple?"

Earl nodded his head: "Boss, lady boss, come up first, we'll talk about it on the way."

Ning Tao and Bi Mingzhu jumped on Earl's back, and Earl's six feet kicked on the rock, and flew up with a swish, flying in the direction they came from.

"Boss, what happened in the temple?" Earle asked after flying a certain distance and feeling that he was out of danger.

While observing the key that fell out of the statue, Ning Tao said, "The statue was destroyed and the guard was killed by us. This little thing happened."

"Huh?" Earl staggered and almost fell from the sky.

Is this still trivial?

Its soul was almost frightened away!

Ning Tao asked casually: "Earl, have you ever heard of any keys in the statues in the ape-man's temple?"

"What key? Uh, is the boss the key in your hand?" Earl said. Although it didn't look back, its two big hemispherical eyes allowed it to see behind it.

Ning Tao said: "Yes, this is the key."

Earl took a closer look, and then said: "I have never heard of any key in the idol, and I have never seen this key."

Such a situation was also expected by him. How could a fly flying from the other side of the sea know the secret of the statue?

Ning Tao's eyes locked on a rune of the sky in Ruozhizhong, and then he used his eyesight enough. The rune of the sky emerged in his mind, and it became large enough that the tiny runes inside were clearly visible.

Bi Mingzhu also came over, looked at the key in Ning Tao's hand, and studied the runes inside.

Before Ning Tao could study a few more runes of the sky, Earl flew back to the valley where the hot spring tribe was located, and said, "Boss, lady boss,

We're back. "

Ning Tao put away the key: "Go down."

Earl flew down the valley.

Whoosh!

An arrow suddenly pierced through the sky, and a cyan energy appeared in the void.

Ning Tao hit him with a punch.

boom!

The arrow was hit in the air and exploded.

Earl was so frightened that he almost fell.

Ning Tao roared: "It's me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure shot up from the crown of the largest yellowhorn tree, and it came to Earl's back in a blink of an eye.

It was Ling'er who came, and she was also the one who shot the arrow just now. In the hot spring tribe, she is the only one with this strength.

"Brother Ning, sister-in-law, I thought it was a scout from the ape-man, so... I'm really sorry." Ling'er said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's good to be vigilant." Ning Tao said.

"Brother Ning, sister-in-law, why did you come back so soon? I thought you wouldn't be back until tomorrow." Linger said.

Ning Tao said: "Let's go down and talk about it."

Earl flew down, and finally landed in a village among the hot spring tribe.

On a vacant lot.

"Heroes!"

"Heroes are back!"

"Heroes! Heroes!"

Under the leadership of the new patriarch Qiang Shi, the people of the Hot Spring tribe surrounded them from all directions, with a whirring sound. Their cheers and excitement came from the bottom of their hearts. In their hearts, Ning Daxia and Bi Nvxia had become their heroes.

Ning Tao said: "Everyone should take shelter in the hot spring cave for the time being. The previous flying brigade has been derailed for a long time. Shenghua Shield City will definitely send troops to check. If possible, I suggest everyone move out of this place."

The clansmen in the hot spring tribe suddenly talked about it.

"Move out of here?"

"This is our home, how can we abandon our homeland?"

"Out of this valley, there are many mutated beasts in the forest outside, we are still very dangerous."

Ning Tao thought that the people of the hot spring tribe would readily accept his suggestion and find another place to settle down, but he didn't expect their resistance to be so strong. But this is also the reason why he knows so little about the surrounding environment. What he considers is that this place has already been known by the ape-men in Shenghua Shield City. Given the ape-man's hatred for humans, military operations may come one after another. It is impossible for him to stay here to protect them all the time. Once he and Bi Mingzhu leave, it will be a matter of time before this tribe is wiped out. But what he didn't consider was the mutated beasts. This valley was surrounded by high mountains with no way in. It was a natural safe haven. After leaving here, what would the hot spring tribe have to fight against the mutated beasts and fight for a piece of soil for survival?

From this point of view, this is really a headache.

"Hero Ning, please fight with us and drive away the invading ape-man. We will always remember your great kindness." As he spoke, Qiang Shi suddenly knelt down in front of Ning Tao.

In the past, he was rebellious and unruly, and would do anything for power, but for the survival of his clan, he could put down his dignity and kneel down to Ning Tao. Based on this alone, he is a qualified patriarch.

When Qiangshi knelt down, hundreds of people from the hot spring tribe knelt down one after another.

Ling'er was also about to kneel down, but Ning Tao reached out to support her: "Why don't you come to join in the fun."

"I..." Ling'er hesitated to speak, but she was also worried that Ning Tao would leave her behind.

Ning Tao said: "You all get up, I promise you to stay and fight with you, but tonight you have to hide in the hot spring cave, I guess it won't be long before the ape-men from Shenghua Shield City will kill them. Don't waste time Now, I will go with you to the hot spring cave."

The people of the Hot Spring Tribe got up from the ground, and then led by Qiang Shi, they dragged their families to the Hot Spring Cave.

Ling'er said: "Brother Ning, sister-in-law, I will stay and fight with you."

Ning Tao said: "We are also going to the Hot Spring Cave. Let's slow down a bit to prevent a sudden attack by the ape-man."

The three of them and one fly also walked towards the hot spring cave, keeping a certain distance from the large troops in front.

On the way, Ning Tao took out the key: "Ling'er, take a look at this key, have you seen it somewhere or heard of it?"

Ling'er came to Ning Tao's side and looked at the key in his hand. She didn't immediately say that she had seen or heard of it, nor did she say that she hadn't seen or heard of it. The expression on her face was also a little strange.

Ning Tao's heart moved: "Ling'er, about this key

Spoon, what do you know? "

Linger then said: "My father used to like to study some weird things, and I also heard him tell a lot of stories. I vaguely remember that he once told me a story about a key, but I don't remember him being When did you tell me..."

"Where is your father?" Ning Tao asked, he wanted to talk to her father.

Ling'er's expression darkened: "My father passed away a few years ago. He also led a team to pick spiritual fruits outside for the children of the tribe, but was discovered by the ape-man patrol team. He covered the tribe to escape, but he himself... ..."

Bi Mingzhu put her arms around Ling'er's shoulders, and comforted her: "Don't be sad, your spiritual veins are awakened, and your father will be happy and proud of you."

Ning Tao was anxious, and originally wanted to urge her to talk about the key, but seeing that her expression was gloomy, he couldn't bear it, so he didn't urge her.

Ling'er wiped the corners of her eyes, took a deep breath, and said after she calmed down a little: "I can barely remember the story about the key my father told me. My father said that when he was young, he was in I stayed in a big tribe for a while, that tribe is called Xia..."

A strange feeling surged in Ning Tao's heart inexplicably.

Ling'er went on to talk: "There are hundreds of thousands of people in that tribe, there are many learned people, and there are books. He also learned to read and write during that period. One day, he saw in an ancient book A strange saying is that there is a secret in the sky, and the so-called undiscloseable secret means that secret. It is said that there is a key that can open the secret and obtain the supreme power. The key is also called the key of heaven. The sky god held the key, but after his death, the sky key also fell into the mortal world, and I don't know where it is."

"Is it this key?" Ning Tao asked.

Ling'er looked at it, but said: "I don't know, I just heard my father tell this story, there should be some details, but I don't remember. At that time, my mind was full of awakening of the spirit vein, Where is the mind to understand the story."

"Where is the Xia tribe you mentioned, where is it?" Ning Tao asked.

"Brother Ning, are you going to Xia?" Ling'er suddenly regretted telling Ning Tao about that tribe, she didn't want Ning Tao to leave.

Ning Tao said: "I want to read that ancient book, tell me where the tribe named Xia is."

Ling'er hesitated for a moment before saying, "If you take me there, I'll tell you."

Ning Tao smiled: "Okay, I promise you, and I also promise you that before going to the tribe called Xia, I will definitely deal with the threat of the Shenghua Shield City to the Hot Spring tribe."

Linger smiled this time: "I heard from my father that the big tribe called Xia is in the north, and it takes about a year to go all the way to the north."

Earl interjected, "It's a year's journey, and how far is that place?"

Linger said: "My father walks, and he has to avoid beasts and ape-men on the way, so it only takes a year. If you send us to fly over, I don't think it's far away."

Earl kept his mouth shut.

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the sky.

Ning Tao stopped in his tracks and looked up, only to see flames flying towards the valley in the night sky. His eyes locked on one of the flames, and his brows frowned when he saw it clearly.

That's a cannonball.
