Chapter 807 Go Find Clues to the Witch

The news brought by Geisel temporarily diverted Hao Ren's attention from the planet's strange history and returned their attention to the missing wizard. Hao Ren still remembered his original purpose of leading people to this world - to find Baptiste and ask the wizard about the secrets about the evil spirit Vivian and the summoning ritual. However, after seeing the purgatory planet He was distracted for a moment after seeing such an incredible true appearance.

The "witch" mentioned by Geisel triggered Hao Ren's nerves. The time when the "witch" fell from the "Pillar of Eternity" was basically the same time that Baptiste became active on the earth and started a series of purgatory experiments. The time matches, and the reason why Baptiste wants to come to the second floor of Purgatory at all costs may also be the witch. Vivian asked about the witch's final destination and learned that she was finally buried in the territory of the Fire Tribe.

Hao Ren couldn't wait to find out everything: "How far is the Fire Tribe from here?"

"At the other end of the grassland, where the spirits of the earth meet," Geisel replied in the rhetorical way unique to the tribesmen, "where the spirits of the mountains and the spirits of the wind converge, there is a magnificent pillar of eternity supporting the sky. There are some people from the Fire Tribe left to guard that place from generation to generation."

Then he raised his hand and pointed in a certain direction: "Go in this direction. It will take you sixty-six days and nights to walk slowly on horseback. This is where the hot wind blows."

"We don't have time to walk over slowly," Hao Ren frowned, "Geizer, do you know who can negotiate with that Fire Tribe?"

"Where are you going?" Geisel's eyes widened, and then he showed a look of surprise, "Oh, by the way, you have the miracle of traveling thousands of miles in an instant. I can lead you, and the tribal warriors from several tribes are here. We are familiar with each other, and in compliance with the ancient covenant, we can visit each other’s pillars of eternity in other tribes.”

Hao Ren nodded and threw the data terminal into the air: "It's not too late, let's send it directly..."

"I want to tell the elders," Geisel said quickly. "Since I am going to another tribe, I should tell the elders."

Hao Ren nodded: "Okay, you go ahead... I'll go with you later, just in time to ask the old man if he knows about the witch."

Elder Gotalug still stayed in his yurt. This respected and knowledgeable old man could no longer stand the cold evening wind outside, so he would not leave his house when the clouds began to extinguish. He was very surprised and frightened by Hao Ren and Vivian's sudden visit, so he quickly stopped what he was doing and stood up to greet them. Hao Ren noticed that a large amount of tough, parchment-like writing materials were spread out on the old man's low table, and the ancient scroll he had seen before was opened and put aside. If he remembers correctly, the scroll It records all history and mythology: the part of the world that the indigenous people can still remember.

Gotalug is copying these sacred scriptures - in fact this is one of his missions as the leader of the tribe. The scroll is a sacred thing owned by every tribe, and every elder is responsible for protecting the scroll. When they grow old and feel that their time is running out, they will begin to copy the knowledge in these scrolls. , make a new copy and pass it on to your successor. Tribal elders have miraculous precognitive abilities and can foresee their own death date with near accuracy, so they can always complete this sacred work just right in the last stage of their lives.

In this incredible underground shelter, the few remaining human survivors use this method to pass on ancient knowledge and memories from generation to generation, although some are inevitably lost, although this inheritance seems fragile and fragile. Reliable, but it still survives to this day.

Geisel showed a solemn expression when he saw the papers and pens, and then conveyed the meaning of Hao Ren and Vivian.

"Oh, the witch, the witch from hundreds of years ago..." Although Gotalug was old, his mind was still very sharp. He nodded repeatedly, "There are still many people who know about her. Geisel, bring me." Seal', you give it to Bonia of the Fire Tribe, be sure to explain the situation, and don't neglect our god."

As he spoke, he handed Geisel a wooden ornament that looked like a pendant, and Hao Ren asked casually: "By the way, did that witch do anything earth-shattering? Her deeds have been passed down for hundreds of years. ?”

"She fell from the 'Pillar of Eternity', which is enough to go down in history," Gotalug nodded repeatedly, "and she also brought a lot of new and interesting knowledge, and once saved the Fire Tribe... You guys You’ll find out when you get there.”

Hao Ren said goodbye to Gotalug with a little doubt and expectation, and then left the Wind Tribe settlement with Geisel. When everyone found an open space and prepared to teleport there, Geisel asked curiously: "How do we get there? Or should we use that very fast 'magic car'?"

"No, teleport here this time," Hao Ren pointed to the data terminal floating in the air, "I have a probe that went in the direction you said and has found the Fire Tribe settlement. We can teleport directly there. side."

Geisel thought for a while and felt that this must be another miracle.

Everyone stood within the transmission range, and the data terminal enveloped everyone with a halo. The next moment, dizziness and distorted scenery hit them at the same time. After everything calmed down, Hao Ren and the others had arrived at another "Tianzhu Giant Tree" "Underfoot.

A huge tree with no difference in appearance from the "Pillar of Eternity" of the Wind Tribe supports the sky. At the foot of the giant pillar is a stretch of black mountains. But unlike the home of the Wind Tribe, this eternal pillar The temperature around the column is obviously higher - it's like going from a cool temperate zone to the tropics all of a sudden. There are obviously few plants around the giant Tianzhu tree here, and a large area of ​​land around the roots of the giant tree is exposed. The soil has a strange reddish color, which gives people a strange feeling of heat. .

The tribe living here is called the "Fire Tribe" for good reason.

Although each tribe basically maintains a nomadic lifestyle, not all humans always migrate on the grasslands. They have their own general range of activities, and some tribe members will stay at the foot of a certain Tianzhu giant tree for a long time: they regard the corresponding Tianzhu giant tree as the foundation of their tribe. The giant tree in front of us is the "totem" of the Fire Tribe.

The tribal customs in this world are very complicated, and the knowledge about religion and traditions can take days and nights to talk about. Hao Ren only roughly understood some of it from Geisel, but it was still far from a deep understanding.

The settlement of the Fire Tribe is at the foot of the giant Tianzhu tree, and the lights in the settlement can already be vaguely seen from here. Hao Ren and the others arrived very quickly. The night had just fallen and the people in the settlement had not rested yet.

Geisel had just emerged from the dizzy state of space teleportation at this time. He looked at the familiar scenery not far away and was a little confused. After a moment of reaction, he realized that he had crossed the "sixty-six-day itinerary" in the blink of an eye. He was stunned in surprise - if Hesiana hadn't poked his lower back with a whip, he would have stayed there for half an hour.

"Don't alarm too many people," Hao Ren pulled Geisel and explained seriously, "We are mainly here because of the 'witch' matter. Just let the tribe warriors and elders know about it. If possible, just take him with you. Let’s go to where the witch is buried.”

Geisel nodded vigorously to express his understanding, and then ran quickly towards the settlement not far away. His figure was like the wind, and soon disappeared into the hazy darkness. Not long after, Hao Ren saw him driving out of the stockade with a small group of people - including the elders of the Fire Tribe. Unlike Gotalug, this elder here was in his prime, even stronger than those tribal warriors. After hearing the news of the goddess's arrival, he started from the door of his yurt and accelerated to seventy yards. It was said that it only took three seconds. More than seconds...

After that, the process of pushing Vivian out to block the gun was basically the same. In short, the scene finally calmed down after a lot of fuss and etiquette that made the parties involved feel overwhelmed. Hao Ren had no time to get to know the people from the Fire Tribe one by one. Who are the elders and warriors? He mentioned his purpose straight to the point. Geisel pushed a little girl who looked about ten years old out from behind the crowd: "This is the contemporary saint of the Fire Tribe. Her name is Bernia, and she can take you to the temple of the Pillar of Eternity."
