Chapter 404 Big Tribe
Although the chief of the tribe where Konoha is located told us that the large tribe is far away from them, this distance is actually not accurate. The word "far away" has a very strong subjective will. For example, if you ask an old lady who is very good at saving money how far is the market, she will tell you that it is very far because it takes forty minutes to walk to get there. But for the same market, if you ask someone at the same location, he will tell you that it is not far away and only takes ten minutes to drive there.
It is obviously impossible for the chief of Konoha to use the speed of our junior super aviation battleship to judge the distance. His judgment of distance is still at the stage of walking. Therefore, although the distance is indeed very far for him, For us, it's not that far at all, because in fact, this so-called large tribe is only more than two hundred kilometers away from Konoha and their tribe. According to the speed Konoha and the others were moving in the forest, it would take more than a week to walk this distance, because they did not go in a straight line, and they had to avoid monster attacks along the way. Calculating, they could cover more than 20 kilometers a day, which was quite fast. Yes, if it is an ordinary person in the village, it is estimated that they may not be able to reach it in half a month, and it is very likely that they will be killed by monsters halfway.
Of course, although two hundred kilometers is indeed not too close to people in Konoha and other villages, it is really not far to us. The cruising speed of the primary super aviation battleship is more than 200 kilometers per hour. The big tribe is only more than 200 kilometers away from here. Even if we didn't use full speed, it only took us fifty minutes to reach the destination. This is still the distance in the later period. As we get closer, Konoha needs to confirm the specific location and slows us down. If we know the location, we can fly directly there, and it may not take us even forty minutes.
Konoha never thought that he could get here so quickly. After the fifty-minute flight, he had not recovered from his previous excitement at all. But his state was actually a good thing for us, so we didn't let him control his emotions.
Because the whole person is in a state of excitement, everything Konoha does is obviously very fast. After the fleet arrived at the target area, Konoha told us not to land directly near the tribe, because we would be regarded as intruders. Of course, the greater possibility is to scare away everyone here. However, we did not stay too far away, but chose to find a place within direct sight of the village and start landing.
Because there are trees all over the ground. Of course, there was no open space for us to land, so we had to forcefully land in the forest. Fortunately, the primary super aviation battleship has a special landing bracket, so the problem is not big. However, the tree below was unlucky and a large piece was directly crushed.
After the three junior super aviation battleships landed, according to Konoha, we did not let the large troops go out, and there were not many combatants on board. If everyone leaves, the crew will be in danger. Although this place is close to other people's tribes, it does not mean that there are no monsters here. Don't forget that the strength comparison between humans and monsters here is completely reversed from ours, and the people here are the weak. Monsters rule the forest.
In addition to the guide from Konoha, the only remaining people on the trip were me, Zhenhong, and eight players from the guild. The gold coins will be left as high-end combat power to protect the warships, while Hongyue will serve as command in my absence. The eight players following behind are all high-level players who like to have fun. Their responsibility is to give me a good appearance. Otherwise, it would be me, Zhenhong and Konoha. People don't take us seriously at all. While we could literally wipe out this horde on our own, we're here for help. Of course, you can't show your fist directly.
Konoha's excitement lasted until he entered the forest and disappeared immediately, because this was an instinct developed over many years. In a place like this, any slightest carelessness would bring the end of life. So for them, no matter what state you were in before, you must adjust to a calm and cautious state before entering the forest. Otherwise, you might as well just kill yourself and leave the body for other people in the tribe to eat. Otherwise, it is more cost-effective. Making monsters cheaper will actually make them stronger.
Although Konoha has always been very cautious, and has been particularly cautious since entering the forest, in fact, his current caution is completely meaningless, because the nearby jungle is already full of Death Guards. Anyway, these guys are numerous in number and are not afraid of death. They are most suitable for the job of peripheral security. Moreover, the Death Guards can be retracted and retracted freely. The little guide in Konoha doesn't even know that we have summoned the Death Guards here.
Soon my death guards reported to me with their minds that they had discovered the entrance to a gathering point.
The big tribe was indeed a big tribe, and it was not on the same level as their small village in Konoha. There is at least one thing about this place that Konoha and other villages cannot compare with, and that is that people dare to build cities on the ground, and not only the ground, but even the treetops above are covered with various artificial structures.
This large tribe has opened up a quite large gathering place in the forest. The outside of this gathering place is built with wood and natural trees... let's call it a city wall. Anyway, just use the main trunk of the fallen tree to cross it and fix it with the big trees growing on the ground, and then form a wall. Those horizontal logs were piled up to four meters high, and they were not one layer, but a criss-crossed multi-layered structure. The large trees wrapped within these wooden city walls are equivalent to the foundation of the city wall, so that the city wall is not easily damaged or pushed away by large creatures.
Of course, this so-called large creature refers to a slightly larger creature, that is, the size of an elephant. As for the real behemoth... Even if you hit a stone city wall with that thing, it will still break a hole, so it has no reference value at all.
The Death Guards did not continue to approach after discovering this gathering place. Their appearance would only cause panic.
Although I already knew where the gathering place was, I still let Konoha act as a guide to lead us to the outskirts of the camp.
As expected, the patrols in the camp had discovered us early. In fact, these patrols ran over immediately after we landed, so they were almost always staring at us. I have to say that these indigenous people are really courageous, because on the way here, I heard that some indigenous investigators attacked our guard post and were arrested.
This kind of thing is completely normal. If they can't even deal with the local monsters, how can they be our opponents?
The guards here started shouting immediately after noticing that we were approaching the camp. It was obviously a warning, and Konoha quickly took out a stone, wrapped it in a special leather and threw it.
This leather is actually a letter, written by the chief of their village in Konoha. Of course, they were all hieroglyphs, and I couldn’t understand them anyway.
The guards inside saw this thing and quickly shouted several times outside. Then Konoha told us that we could pass.
As we approached, the camp gate in front slowly opened a gap. This wooden door is actually not very big, but because it is made of rough logs, it is not light in weight. There is no machinery here. It is very laborious to open and close this kind of door, so there are not particularly many people at each time. Going in and out together will only open a crack.
After we get in through the crack in the door. Dozens of natives on both sides worked together to close the gate again.
There are many indigenous guards on both sides of the village gate. These guys are all wearing... it should be considered armor, right? And they all held... spears in their hands?
Actually speaking of weapons, I'm really not sure how powerful these things are. The armors on those guys were actually clothes made of pieces of wood. I don't know, I thought someone had put on the sample display boards from the wood flooring store. As for their weapons...it can be said that they are of all kinds. They are basically weapons made of wood and stone, some of which are made of bone. There are also some that seem to be animal teeth or claws, which are all natural materials anyway. Of course, not everyone is like this.
Here I found a guy who was obviously the leader, but he was definitely not the chief here. Because there’s no way the Chief is guarding the goal. This guy should be the city gate official, the captain of the guard team here.
Unlike most of the natives here. This guy was wearing a piece of linen clothing, which was a bit rough, but it was clothing after all, and it was much better than those who were naked. in addition. He also has armor, but it is not made of wood, but something like the scales of some kind of creature. Anyway, they are all fan-shaped and vary in size, but after wearing it, you can clearly see that it is stronger than that kind of wooden armor. And it's a little lighter.
In addition to the above, this guy also has something that is probably considered a treasure here, and that is his weapon. This guy's weapon is a knife. It's not something made of wood or stone, this is a real knife made of metal. Although this knife looks very dilapidated, I can be sure that it is not something produced here, because the style of the knife, the remaining patterns on it, and most importantly, its material, are not up to the technical level here. something made. This knife is supposed to be an enchanted weapon, at least it once was. But now, it's just a badly damaged metal knife. The gem that was the center of the magic power was gone, the magic pattern was broken into several parts, and the quality of the blade was obviously approaching its limit. However, this did not prevent it from appearing in the hands of the captain as the best weapon here.
While I was looking at this guy, of course he was looking at me. Unlike me who was trying to figure out and observe the environmental information here, he looked at me with complete envy. I even saw drool coming out of the corner of his mouth.
A useless enchanted sword is the magic weapon here. There are no words to describe what I have in a place like this. Even in the eyes of players, the Dragon Soul Set is the best among the best, the most awesome equipment set, and the best among artifacts. And here... I guess a blue piece of equipment with attributes is an absolute artifact.
"Stop." After entering here, Konoha took us to go inside, but the captain stopped us with a voice, and with his voice, a circle of natives suddenly surrounded us.
Although the other party hasn't really started to do anything yet, I roughly know what they are going to do when I see this posture. This is clearly a scene where the city gate guards extort people entering the city! Although this is just an indigenous village, this does not prevent people from understanding what the law of the jungle is. In fact, we are already in the jungle, so the laws of the jungle are more thorough than we understand.
Since the law of the jungle is very popular in this place, of course I have to do as the Romans do. Although we are here to beg someone, we are begging the shaman here, not the city gate official, so there is no need for us to pretend to be grandsons here.
"Excuse me, what's the matter?" The translation stone is a good thing. Although the language of this tribe is different from that of Konoha, as long as there is a translation stone, any language can be translated 100% simultaneously without ambiguity.
The other party stared at the suit on me with greedy eyes, and then said: "Have you paid the entrance fee?"
Konoha heard this and quickly explained to me. "This is the rule here. When outsiders enter their tribe, they must bring something. I have been here several times before. Sometimes it is two fruits, sometimes it is a small piece of meat. Anyway, it depends on the situation. What is there? Just take whatever you want, as long as it’s food, just give it a token amount.”
I nodded after listening. Then he took out a large piece of barbecue. This is the thigh of an unknown chocobo. It weighs at least thirty kilograms. With the entry fee here, this is definitely enough for us people.
Konoha took the thigh and ran over to offer the piece of meat with both hands, but the city gate official didn't even see it. On the contrary, it was the subordinates next to him who were drooling over the piece of meat. They knew that even if they robbed something, they wouldn't have a share in it, so they might as well just attack the thing that the boss in front of them didn't like.
After Konoha gave us the things, he was about to take us away, but the other party stretched out the long knife in his hand and placed it in front of us. "Who asked you to leave?"
"Didn't I give you the entrance fee?" Konoha asked.
"There are so many of you. Is this enough?"
"I only had a few fruits every time I came here before. That piece of meat just now can't be used up by the entry fee for a hundred people. What else do you want?" Konoha argued.
The other party made it clear that they were going to rob, so they didn't tell Konoha any reason. They just slapped him, but didn't hit him. He was going to knock Konoha to the ground. Because his slap was very hard. However, in the end, the slap missed, and the reason was that his hand was missing.
He waved his arm in front of Konoha, then slapped him with blood on his face, but his palm flew from the other side. The city gate officer was stunned for a while before suddenly starting to hold his wrist and scream, because he had never expected that his hand would suddenly break off.
Putting away the mental shield on my body, I walked up to the indigenous city gate officer who was already squatting on the ground under the eyes of the surrounding indigenous people. I then raised my leg and kicked him to the ground and said: "Get off Use your brain before committing a robbery." By the time I finished speaking, the mental shield had completely disappeared, and the pressure on my body was fully unfolded. This guy was frightened by the huge mental pressure and was so frightened that he urinated. I raised my feet to get away from him in disgust, and then walked forward. Others could only make a half circle to avoid the disgusting things this guy left on the ground.
I had communicated with the shaman from their village in Konoha before coming here. The amulet on Konoha's body is actually not particularly numerous. On the contrary, that thing is actually very precious. Although this thing is carved from wood, the key is not the materials and handwork, but the magic.
These shamans need to use very complicated methods to ask the gods to inject divine power into the carved wooden signs, and then this thing can block the spiritual power. In fact, there are only three pieces of this thing in Konoha and their village. Except for the one in the chief's hand, only Konoha and another native have it.
Konoha is the village's scout and part-time hunter, the one who helps the village obtain food, so he must wear this when he needs to go out. Another native with a wooden sign is the sentry in the village. This is not fixed, but is like the gun in the hands of the soldiers on guard in reality. Whoever is standing guard can hold it and will not take it back. Because the sentry needs to stand at the entrance of the crypt, in order to avoid exposing the entrance location, the sentry must have this kind of thing.
A village of 300 people only has three such amulets, so it's easy to imagine that these things are not easy to get. The shamans in this large tribe are slightly more powerful, but it is impossible to make this kind of thing in unlimited quantities, so this thing is destined to be worn by only a few people who need to go out. The gatekeeper only guards inside the city and does not need to go out, so without such a thing, naturally he cannot stop my pressure. Of course, it’s useless to have it. Konoha was not affected before because I didn't target him. If I had released pressure on him from the beginning, his brand would have exploded before Ling could use his hypnosis. After all, the energy intensity is too different.
After scaring this guy into insanity, we walked directly to the center of the village. There is a big stone house here. After entering, I realized that this tribe also lives underground after being high for a long time. The part on the ground is actually just an outpost, and the main settlement is below. I said how this place gave me a different feeling than I imagined. Previously, the shamans of Konoha and their tribe said that this place was very big, but judging from the previous reports from the Death Guards, this place could only hold about a thousand people at most even if it was full. On this scale, the shaman should not describe it in such an exaggerated way.
Now I understand. There is still a lot of space underground, so this is the right way to go. If it weren't for a tribe with tens of thousands of people, I really can't imagine why the shaman in Konoha Village said this was a super tribe.
"Boss, look!" As soon as we entered the underground world from the entrance of this stone house, Zhenhong suddenly pointed at a huge object not far away and screamed, and we were actually looking at it at this time. This thing is in a daze because we see something that we should never see in a place like this. (To be continued ~^~)
