Six traces of the dream domain empty city

Chapter 7 Doubt
The old man showed a thoughtful expression and looked up at the sky.

In his field of vision, the sky is completely blocked by the tree canopy, only a small piece in the center can penetrate the sunlight.At the edge of the sun, there is a circle of blue sky, which is the only sky that can be seen.

The old man said slowly: "Maybe what you all want is great power, but I am different. From a very young age, I have been very curious about many things we are familiar with. Many things, we only know that they exist , but I don’t know why. By now, I am also old, and I guess I should leave the camp and return to the earth in a few years. But these questions have always troubled me, and there is still no answer.”

"What's the problem?" Haruka asked.

The girl has a strong curiosity, and the people around are also listening with bated breath, wanting to know what is the problem that can bother this elder who has always been known for his wisdom and profound knowledge.

The elder smiled and said, "There are so many questions. For example, where do we come from? What did our ancestors look like? What else is there beyond our forest, and what does the world look like even further away? Beyond the blue sky above our heads, where is the palace where the souls of our ancestors reside?"

Everyone was silent. Many people may have thought of similar problems, but they just passed by and did not think deeply.But what the elder said reminded them of the childhood when they let their imaginations run wild.

The elder sighed and said: "The ancestors may not know about these issues. Even if they knew, they would tell us, and it would not help our settlement. I will discuss with the elders carefully about the issue of offering sacrifices. Do you have any questions? You can come up with any good ideas."

Afterwards, the elder looked at Gray Eagle, smiled and said, "Grey Eagle, you have always been an excellent warrior. But now, I want to say, you are already one of the most outstanding warriors. Maybe it won't be long before you will have an inheritance The qualifications of the ancestral weapon."

"Fei Jian, I still remember that you didn't like to practice swords and swords when you were young, but bows and arrows are also necessary skills for hunters. Now it seems that your choice is not wrong."

"And you, Yao. You are still young, but being able to participate in the battle to kill the baboon is an extremely valuable experience. Maybe it won't take long before you will become a great warrior just like your father hunter!"

Gray Eagle and Feijian shook their heads at the same time, Yao waved his hands vigorously, and said loudly: "Elder, you made a mistake, we didn't kill the baboon."

The elder's face froze, and he said doubtfully: "It's not you, then who else? Look at the wound of the baboon, this is not the prey you picked up."

Yao Yao pointed behind him and said, "He was the one who killed the baboon. Without him, we would only become food when we met such a powerful baboon."

Everyone looked in the direction of the girl's finger, only to see Huang Quan standing on the edge of the valley.

Several young men immediately drew their weapons and pointed at Huang Quan, shouting one after another: "A stranger has come in!" "Kill him!" "He is an ogre!"

Yao stood in front of Huang Quan and shouted loudly: "He can speak our words! He is not a cannibal!"

The young people were skeptical, and lowered the sword in their hands.Several elders looked at each other, and one of the elders stepped forward, looked at Huang Quan carefully, and said, "I have never seen such attire, not in any settlement."

Yao said anxiously: "The ogre doesn't even have such a costume!"

The Great Elder came over, motioned everyone to be quiet, and then asked Huang Quan, "Who are you and where are you from? Did you kill the baboon?"

Huang Quan said with a blank face, "You can call me Huang Quan. As for the baboon, ask her."

As soon as he spoke, the nervous expressions on everyone's faces faded a lot.

Many people said: "He really can speak our language! He probably came from some distant settlement, maybe he stayed in the forest for too long."

"Yes, the last time I was hunted down by an ogre, I only stayed in the forest for one more day, and I was a little dazed when I came back."

The Great Elder looked at Huang Quan and asked again, "Where are you from?"

"A...faraway place."

When the great elder asked again, Huang Quan said that he couldn't remember clearly.

The Great Elder nodded, and asked Yao about the situation at that time.

Yao spoke bluntly and quickly, "At that time there was a sudden movement, and the whole ground collapsed. I saw him and pulled him out. He was not seriously injured, but he was very weak, and he could speak our words again. , I just want to bring him back. Put him in the forest, he will definitely die. As for the baboon, he did kill it."

The girl briefly talked about the process of killing the baboon, and the process was indeed very simple. The baboon threw Huang Quan down, and then hit his vitals into the long and short hunting knives in Huang Quan's hand, and died like that.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, obviously, if it wasn't for Yao's words, and the warriors Gray Eagle and Hunter Feijian didn't refute, no one would believe it, and this luck is really great.

The elder said slowly: "Together with us, excellent hunters and warriors in the surrounding settlements die every year at the hands of the baboon. In the past 30 years, we have not killed a single baboon. Only by For this achievement, I am willing to temporarily accept you to settle in the settlement. Xiaoyao will tell you the specifics."

The Great Elder turned to Gray Eagle and said, "You don't seem to be in a very good condition, go to the pool of ancestors and take a rest first."

Fei Jian came over at this moment, patted Huang Quan on the shoulder, and said, "Come and live with me, I really want to hear your story."

Huang Quan frowned slightly, and moved his fingers a little. Fei Jian's hand was too close to the vitals of his neck, and he instinctively wanted to point at the overstretched claw, but in the end he forcibly endured it.

Feijian was fairly friendly along the way, and his current actions did not reveal any danger.Besides, judging from the appearance of this group of people, they are still in the primitive tribal system to a large extent, and they probably don't know much about etiquette and rules.

It is even more impossible for them to know how honorable their status as the prince of the empire is, not to mention that the empire may have long since ceased to exist.

The flying archer landed on Huang Quan's shoulder, and suddenly shivered, as if he had just passed some huge danger, and he couldn't help laughing immediately.

At this time, Yao walked over, pulled Huang Quan across, and said to Fei Jian: "Your broken place is as messy as a pig's nest, it stinks to death, what is there to do, he should stay with me."

Fei Jian said awkwardly: "I want to soak animal skins! Of course there will be some smell, how can a good hunter care so much? Besides, your place is so small, where does he sleep?"

"Sleeping in my bed, of course!" Haruka said as a matter of course.

"Ah, that, you..." Fei Jian was tongue-tied, not knowing what to say.

At this time, a very strong young man came over and said unceremoniously: "Yao, he is so weak, he is not suitable for you at all!"

Yao puffed out his chest and said loudly, "Whoever I choose, I have the final say!"

The young man's face was gloomy, and he said: "The settlement has its rules, don't forget it."

Yao snorted, and said coldly: "When the wind in the forest turns cold, I'll knock you all down, isn't that all right?"

"You are not my opponent now, and you won't be able to wait until the wind is cold."

Yao raised his eyebrows, like an irritated female leopard, and raised his voice: "I hate you very much, you already have Roya and Lin Wei, why are you still not satisfied?"

The young man sneered, "The most powerful baboon can own all the female beasts, this is the tradition of the forest."

Yao snorted: "The most powerful baboon has just been killed!"

The young man's face froze, and he shouted with a little shame: "No matter what, the rules are like this. When the wind is cold, you will be my woman! Before that, if you do something, you know the consequences."

He pointed at Huang Quan again, and said: "You wait for me, when the wind is cold, it is your time of death!"

Although Huang Quan didn't know how many storms and waves he had experienced, this sudden encounter still made him very speechless.Moreover, this young man was obviously very proud, he turned his head and left after saying the cruel words, not giving Huang Quan a chance to fight back at all.

Yao pulled Huang Quan and said: "Don't worry about that idiot Ju Yan, I will deal with him when the time comes."

Huang Quan finally couldn't help showing a little edge: "Do you want me to kill him now?"

Yao said angrily: "You are so weak, why are you bragging?!"

She dragged him across Huang Quan, carried him directly on her shoulders, and moved him back to the residence.
