Chapter 286
Dinner was served in the tribe, and Zi Yan sat at the same table with the Star Priest.

I have been staying in the Star Tribe for almost a year. I use "stay" because Nebula does not restrict the activities of the four of them. It is up to you whether you want to leave or stay. Naturally, the four of you will not leave, at least not until you get back the Yellow Stone. .

Zi Yan is already very familiar with Xingyue. The two have similar growth experiences, and they have many topics to talk about and things they can empathize with.

After a year of getting along with each other, Zi Yan discovered that Xingyue was actually a very simple person. In comparison, her brother was much more thoughtful.

This is normal. Xingyue is a priest based on blood, irreplaceable, and has pure capital. And his brother is the actual manager of the tribe, with hundreds of people under his command. If he is as simple as Xingyue, The Star Tribe was finished long ago.

Zi Yan thought of herself. Although she and Chi Yan were not siblings, their positions in the tribe were exactly the same as the siblings.

"Purple smoke..."

"Ok?"

"Does the wolf boy not like me?"

Zi Yan was stunned for a moment: "Why do you ask?"

"I feel like I don't see her very often, and she doesn't even eat with us."

The weather began to turn cold, and Xingyue wrapped the linen clothes dyed in the color of the sky and lake a little tighter. It was the first time for the women of the Xingxing Tribe to sew clothes with linen. The technique was a bit rough and did not fit well. She is extremely petite and fragile.

"It's nothing." Zi Yan smiled a little stiffly because of the scars on her face, "The wolf child is used to being wild. She likes to run around. If you let her sit here and chat, she won't adapt."

She wasn't telling the truth.

The wolf boy went to feed the big man.

Although the four of them move freely, they are under the control of others, and their every move is guarded. The relationship between Dalang and them has not yet been discovered by the Star Tribe. If given the opportunity, it will not hesitate to bite off Nebula's neck and take back the Yellow Stone.

However, Nebula is always cautious and never goes out alone.

"It's great..." Xingyue said with envy, "I also want to run around and see the ends of the earth like you, but my body..."

With her frail constitution, she couldn't bear the pain of traveling.

Zi Yan's heart moved and she took the opportunity to say: "As long as there is Huangshi and the strength of the three of us, we can go wherever we want. It's very easy."

"Yes!"

Xingyue's eyes brightened, but soon dimmed again: "But I am a priest, and I can't leave my people behind."

"The sacrificial ceremony happens once a year. We just have to come back before the sacrificial ceremony."

"My brother wouldn't agree to that."

"How will you know if you don't give it a try? You are different from me. I had no choice before, and my tribe never gave me a chance. But your brother loves you very much. I can tell that as long as you make up your mind, he will let go. "

Zi Yan is good at tempting people. Who would have thought that the former Fire Spirit Priest would one day degenerate into a "human trafficker" to abduct Silly Baitian.

However, Xingyue is not stupid. She knows that Zi Yan is probably a drunkard who does not care about drinking, at least not entirely.

She has no obsession with the Yellow Stone. Just using the Black Stone to summon the stars has put a lot of burden on her body. But she knows her brother too well. It is not easy to give back what she got, not to mention that the power of the Yellow Stone may endanger her. tribe.

She avoided answering and quietly changed the subject: "The wolf child is running around alone. Aren't you worried about her? I heard from Xingchen that wolf tracks were recently found in the woods."

The wolf boy is out and about in the woods, it's the other animals that should be worried...

Zi Yan thought in her heart and said: "Don't worry about her. The wolf boy has grown up in the forest. He understands the habits of various animals and can capture the smallest traces. He is even better than ordinary hunters!"

Xingyue exclaimed, and the envy in her eyes became even stronger.

"The stars will descend on the earth in the near future. My power can only protect the safety of the tribe. Please let her stay in the camp these few days and don't run around. It will be tragic if she is hit by a star."

"You can feel it?"

"I can feel that the stars are very close to us."

As Xingyue expected, three days later, a dazzling starlight flashed across the sky, followed by a loud bang, and flying stone fragments rained down.

This year’s meteorites arrived earlier than last year.

Xingyue said that she could not determine the specific time of the meteorite's arrival. She only guessed that it was related to the size of the star. Bigger stars would arrive later, but in general, it would not exceed a year, at least so far. There are no exceptions yet.

Meteorite hunters from the Star Tribe swarmed out to pick up meteorite fragments all over the mountains and fields to thank the stars for their gifts.

As the days passed, the autumn mood became stronger, and the withered and yellow leaves in the woods accumulated all over the ground, creating a desolate scene.

In this season when everything is silent, the Star Tribe is becoming lively. Tribes from the seaside are arriving one after another. People who have been away for a long time gather together and talk enthusiastically about their departure. The scene of the stars arriving last year is still vivid in my mind. Today, it is still one of the hottest topics among people.

It’s time for the annual sacrificial ceremony again.

The wolf boy didn't like to get into crowds of people, but he was still dragged by Zi Yan to go shopping.

Caravans from various tribes lined up on both sides of the main road, laying out the goods they brought for people to choose from.

Crow and Leopard Gan worked hard for a year and saved up some good things, which they now just exchanged.The crowd was shaking, and the four people moved slowly with the crowd, stopping in front of various stalls to talk and bargain with various "profiteers".

Suddenly, a call came from behind him: "Purple smoke?"

The four of them turned around and met the eyes of a big man with a beard. When they saw Zi Yan's true appearance, he grinned.

Zi Yan remembers him. He also came last year and brought goods from the Sky Clan. It seemed to be called... Huzi?
"You three must be Wolf Boy, Crow and Leopard Liver, right?"

Huzi calmly reported the names of the three people.

"Do you know us?" Crow took a step forward calmly, protecting Zi Yan behind him.

"I don't know." Huzi shook his head like a rattle, "I was entrusted by the sky priest to bring you a message."

"My lord priest?!"

Leopard Gan exclaimed, and the other three people also looked at each other, surprised and happy.

"The sky priest said that he already knows what happened, so that you can rest assured. I heard that you are from Taoyuan? It is really admirable that you can reach the seaside across such a long distance. If you need me to bring a message to your people, Please let me know."

Huzi was very cautious. It seemed that these four people were in some kind of predicament. They probably had something to do with the Star Tribe, so he limited the scope of his help to just talking. He might not be able to help with anything else. He didn't want to Involved in the dispute between the Sky Clan and the Star Tribe.

Neither the Sky Clan nor the Star Tribe can be provoked by small tribes like them. The wisest approach is of course not to offend both sides and to take advantage of both sides.

The four people exchanged opinions, and Zi Yan said: "We would like you to tell the Sky Priest that everything is fine with us, so that he does not have to worry. It is just a little trouble, and we will find a way to solve it ourselves."

Huzi nodded, indicating that he had taken note of it.

He said goodbye and left to meet his host and complete another commission from the Sky Priest.

……

"...In this gathering in Hedong, many people from the Sky Clan came! The Sky Priest and the Goddess are here! The Goddess has extremely powerful divine power. It is said that a forest can be born in an instant. I have not seen it with my own eyes, but... The Sky Priest showed me the power of the Thunder Beast, and it was terrifying!”

After Huzi brought the words of the Sky Priest, he began to tell the news he had found out about the Sky Clan and what he saw and heard at the gathering.

The more Xingyun heard it, the uglier his face became. He guessed that Huzi was exaggerating, but even if the exaggeration was removed, the power of the Sky Clan was still far beyond his imagination!

Seeing that Huzi described the thunder beast vividly, he thought that he had indeed seen the power of the thunder beast with his own eyes. He knew how terrifying the thunder beast was. A roar could burn an entire mountain. If the sky priest really mastered the power of the thunder beast, , what are they going to use to compete?
At this time, I heard Huzi say: "But the sky priest said that the power of the thunder beast cannot be used easily, and can only be used to deal with people who deceive the sky, or enemies who harm their people."

Nebula's heart trembled. Combined with Hu Zi's previous report that "the Sky Clan will visit them at the beach", Nebula felt that the Sky Priest was beating him from the air, warning him not to do anything bad to the four Taoyuan people.

This made him somewhat unhappy. Then he thought, if what Huzi said was true, then the other party did have the confidence.

In front of Huzi, Xingyun remained calm and calm. When Huzi left, he immediately started pacing anxiously.

He felt very bad. Over the years, relying on the strength of the tribe, he was used to being domineering. He didn't take Wolf Boy and others to heart at first, but this time it seemed that he was really in trouble.

Xingyue said: "Fortunately, we didn't do everything right, and we can still make amends."

Xingyun stared at her sister for a while, frowned and said: "You want me to return the Yellow Stone to them? No, no, that will only be more detrimental to us, and... Xingyue, your situation is getting worse and worse, This can't continue like this, we must keep them!"

"You want them to use the black stone to summon the stars instead of me. I know that, but we don't need to use threats. They are not bad people, and Ziyan is not a bad person. As long as we tell them the truth and ask for their help, they will agree. ’s...just let me tell you, brother, believe me!"

Although Xingyue never asks about her brother's decisions, she knows that her brother does things entirely for her. Using the black stone is a huge drain on her, and every time she uses it, it reduces her lifespan.

It is precisely because of this that Nebula did not kill him when he robbed the Yellow Stone. He wanted to keep Wolf Boy and Ziyan to replace his sister and become the de facto Star Priest. Anyway, the Black Stone was not lethal, so he did not have to worry about setting fire to himself.

Xingyun didn't let go: "Even if they help us this time, what about in the future? Do you think they will stay forever after getting the Yellow Stone?"

"will not."

Xingyun was stunned by Xingyue's decisiveness.

But what really shocked him was his sister's next words: "I don't want to stay forever, and I don't want to die so meaninglessly. Zi Yan told me many stories about their travels. The world is very big, and I I want to go see it with them and use the power of Yellow Stone."

"you……"

Nebula's eyes widened and she couldn't believe her ears!

However, my sister's expression was particularly decisive, and she seemed to have made up her mind.

Only then did Xingyun suddenly realize that it was a wrong decision to let his sister and Ziyan get along day and night!

Damn Taoyuan people, how dare you instigate my sister!
"You know this is impossible." He was a little annoyed, but tried his best to suppress it, "We can't live without the Star Priest!"

"What we need is not star priests, but star cores and thunder stones."

"Is there any difference? Without the power of the Star Priest, there would be no Star Core and Thunder Stone!"

Xingyue said sternly: "What if I say I have a way? Ziyan said that the power of Nuwa's descendants can be superimposed. With the combined power of the three of us, we can definitely summon more stars! I think that maybe this can be done Solve the problem once and for all.”
