Chapter 115
Chapter 115
Going all the way, eight days later, the postcoach of Gu Duo's group stopped again before nightfall.
Gu Duo got out of the car, moved his body, and at the same time used the cover of his movements to size up his new companions.These people are from the Jiaotou tribe that Gu Duo has never heard of. They are a group of extremely tall and strong guys. The shortest one is a head taller than Gu Duo, and his arms are thicker than many thighs.Although these guys were traveling with them, they didn't sit on the stagecoach. They rode a kind of sitting beast with thick limbs and an ugly triangular head, driving groups of five-horned oxen.
"Gu Duo!" Gu Li, who had already walked into the post station, realized that his nephew was gone, and hurried out to call.
"Come on!" Gu Duo took another look at those strong beasts and five-horned oxen before running into the station.
The people of the Jiaotou tribe did not enter the post station, and there was also a flat land beside the post station, where they quickly set up a few small tents with animal skins.
"Patriarch, the distance to Maocheng is getting closer and closer." A horned man distributed the bread bought from the post station to the tribe.
"Yeah." Their patriarch nodded.
"Patriarch, when are we going to do it?" After waiting for a long time, half of the cake was eaten, and finally someone couldn't help it.
"Go to Maocheng first."
"The patriarch... Is it too dangerous to go to Maocheng with only us?"
"We took the goods to Maocheng for trading, so what's the danger?" The leader of the Jiaotou ate up the bread, collapsed and fell asleep.
"..." Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you. Except for the night watcher, everyone else lay down one after another.
——Maocheng is rising too fast, the road stretches farther and farther and longer, the powerful and terrifying war worms are really amazing, and the people who gather in Maocheng also have all kinds of different thoughts in their hearts. thought……
"This is Maocheng? It's such a big tribe..." Gu Duo looked at the bustling tribe and the vehicles coming and going, his eyes straightened.
"This is not Maocheng, this is the last post before entering Maocheng." Gu Li poured cold water on him.
"Ah? This is also a post station?" It is true that the post station is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more people. Even many tribes they met on the road traded items they wanted at the post station and went back directly, but Gu Unexpectedly, this place, which is bigger than their entire tribe and has more people, is actually a post station.
"It takes a day's journey to progress. If you look carefully, you will know that although there are men and women, there are no children, and no one who is too old."
When Gu Duo saw it, it was true. A very beautiful woman with fair skin was riding away on the back of a huge spider with a spear on her back. Gu Duo's eyes were almost glued to the woman's body until Gu Duo slapped him. , he came to his senses, smirked and touched the back of his own head: "Uncle Gu Li, which tribe's woman is that?"
"That's from Maocheng, but from the Mu tribe in Maocheng."
"I can buy one back... um!"
"Don't say that. Maocheng only buys people, not sells them. You can't even mention buying Maocheng people, whether they are from the Mu clan or others."
Gu Duo was frightened, he did many stupid things along the way, but it was the first time that Gu Li reacted so violently.This also made Gu Duo realize that what he just said was the real stupidity: "Uncle Gu Li, I won't mention it anymore. Then what should I do if I want a woman like that?"
Gu Li let go of Gu Duo, but was a little bit dumbfounded about his nephew's persistence: "Then you have to pursue it yourself."
"Pursuit?" This word is a little strange to pure primitive society good boys.
"This place is really prosperous." The patriarch of the horned people was also feeling emotional at this time.
"Without us..." A person behind him was a little unconvinced, but was immediately elbowed by his fellow clan: "Nonsense, this is also a station."
"I want to meet their great witch and patriarch even more, Hei Tianren..." The patriarch smiled, and only he could hear the rest of the words.He turned around, signaled his own people not to be nervous, and joined the queue behind the Yanggu tribe, which was the last preparation they had to do when they entered Maocheng tomorrow.
There were a lot of people queuing in the largest room of the post station, but the team was moving very fast, and the waiting time was not long.The furnishings inside the room surprised many newcomers, but it was actually a big counter, and there was a person standing behind the counter, and many colorful color blocks were painted on the wall behind this person.
"How many of you are there?"
"23." Gu Li replied.
"Are you here for a deal? How long do you plan to stay in the city?"
"Yes, it's a deal. In addition, we also want to invite Mao to build a road in our tribe."
"Oh?" The receptionist removed the realization from the writing leather and looked at them curiously, "It's no problem to hire us to repair the road, but after the road is repaired, it still needs to be repaired, otherwise put the road aside No matter, it will grow back into a dense forest in less than two years."
"Ah?" Gu Li was taken aback, he really didn't expect this, "But...but I don't think your roads have been repaired much."
"Yanggu tribe, right? Our road came to you last year. It is a new road. Moreover, there are frequent vehicles on the road, so we don't worry about the plants starting to grow, and there is no damage for the time being. However, the road's We don’t have to let our Mao people do the repairs, we can tell you the method, and you can do it yourself.”
Gu Li was a little relieved. Since the Mao Tribe said so, they didn't intend to blackmail their tribe for a long time by repairing the road.
"Okay, then help me arrange it."
"Then, accommodation for 23 people, one trading position..."
"No, we don't need a trading position, we only brought one kind of grain." Gu Li said hurriedly, which meant that they only brought money.
"Oh." The receptionist understood, "It seems that you have a lot to buy, do you want to rent a car?"
"No, we use our own war beasts to carry it."
The receptionist smiled and said, "Your war beasts are pretty good. Let alone some tribes enter the city, the war beasts are too scared to move in the station. Then, it's just accommodation, plus road construction... I'll pay for it first. If you register for fifteen days, you will feel a little numb, are there any newcomers in the team? Let them not be afraid."
Everyone was very proud of being praised, and they also praised their own beasts: "Okay."
Gu Duo poked his head behind Gu Li and listened. When he heard the numbness, he felt strange. Then he saw the receptionist turn around, knock on a color block, and then open that color block—it turned out to be a very small cover.
A big red bee with extremely bright colors flew out, not only Gu Duo, but the people from the Jiaotou tribe who came for the first time were also startled, but looking at Gu Li, the receptionist acted very logically Of course, considering that this is the city of insects, they temporarily suppressed the desire to kill insects.
"23 people, Guli leader, please count the number of people, don't mistake anyone."
"Okay." In front of Fengzi, Gu Li counted the people in his tribe.The big bee flew back to the entrance of the cave, did not go in, but began to dance, within half a minute, with the sound of buzzing, a group of smaller bees flew out.
"Don't resist." The host warned, and the bees landed on the people of the Yanggu tribe one by one. It was not the first time for the others to come, only Gu Duo was trembling. Confirm once."
Gu Li didn't think the hosts were troublesome, and honestly confirmed the last time, and then...everyone got a bee shot!
Gu Duo was bitten by an insect sting more than a year ago, and his left calf was twice as swollen as his right calf. Even the medicine of the big witch could not relieve his pain a little. He howled for more than ten days, and even his His father thought he couldn't hold on anymore.Later, Gu Li brought back some foreigners and cured him.However, Gu Duo, a strong primitive sophomore boy, apparently did not have any psychological shadow on Chong Zi.
"It really hurts." Gu Duo swung his left arm, and when the other experienced seniors grinned, he looked curious and excited, "Uncle Gu Li, why did we have to be stung? What's the use of that?"
"If it's more than fifteen days, don't forget to go to the office in the city to get the needle patched." After everyone in the Yanggu Tribe was stung, the receptionist said while handing Gu Li 23 shiny signs.
"Yes, I will never forget it." Gu Li took the signs and distributed them to everyone one by one, and at the same time explained to Gu Duo, "The entire Maocheng is shrouded in poisonous fog. Just a sting to make sure it's safe."
"Huh? Really poisonous?"
"Hehe." Gu Li nodded, "When I first came here, I happened to meet someone who didn't believe me, and it turned out..."
"died?"
"It didn't die at the time, it just fainted and was dragged away by the worm warriors, and then I never saw them again."
Gu Li and Gu Duo didn't hide their words when they talked, the people behind them could hear clearly as well. They saw that they were about to be stung, but the others were trying to persuade the patriarch to leave. When they heard that Maocheng was poisonous, those people Persuade even more vigorously.However, their voices were so low that only their own people in a circle could hear them.
"Patriarch, it's a joke to be shrouded in poisonous fog. These bugs are very dangerous."
"Patriarch, let's go into Maocheng by ourselves, they can't stop us at all."
But the patriarch pushed aside the worried clansmen and strode to the counter.
"Fifteen people, don't our war beasts and the livestock that bring the trade need to be stung?"
"War beasts and livestock have already been stung when they entered the animal pen. I only care about people here."
As soon as these words came out, except for the patriarch, everyone else had a bad face.Knowing that Maocheng is playing with bugs, that's why they stayed with their livestock and war beasts all the way, but they were still tampered with? !
"It seems that your poisonous mist is fake at all." Someone said with a cold snort, this is unbelievable, thinking that the receptionist is talking big, the purpose is to deceive them.
"People who come to Maocheng for the first time can freely choose how to enter." The receptionist was not annoyed, and looked at them with a smile. It seems that such things have been experienced a lot, "And you can rest assured, as long as If you don’t take the initiative to attack, our bug warriors will not only stop you, but also protect your lives.”
The patriarch's eyes lit up, he turned around and left with his own people.It seems that although he has been silent, he still agrees with the opinions of his own people.
The next day, these horned people set off on their war beasts, and they didn't follow the team that entered the city, but plunged into the dense forest, drove a way, and then turned to Mao direction of the city.
It was getting dark that day, and the horned man who was preparing to camp in the camp suddenly heard a strange and wonderful sound.
"Patriarch, what's the voice?"
The patriarch didn't answer, but stood up and listened: "You stay here."
"Patriarch!" Before anyone else could say anything, the patriarch had already rushed out and disappeared into the darkness.
——It's not an animal's cry, it's man-made, so... a witch?The witch in Maocheng?
It is natural for the head patriarch to think so. In this era, witches have mastered almost all knowledge, including plants, writing, arithmetic, and of course music.Because a tribe can't support too many intellectuals who don't work, the one who can play such a melodious music must be a witch.
But unconsciously, the head of the Jiaotou found himself surrounded by lavender mist, but the music became clearer and clearer, so he didn't worry about getting lost in the mist at all.Of course, he wasn't worried that the witch would attack. The wisdom of the witch was powerful, but most of the body was weak. As for the warriors protecting the witch?The head of the horned head didn't think they would be better than him.Even if there are too many fighters, the head clan leader is confident that he can escape.
He thought it should be an old man withered like an old tree, or a dark, pale and weak man like a ghost. However, what he saw was in the misty and bright moonlight, with long silver hair hanging loose, playing a flower branch Young people dancing.The head of the Jiaotou clan has never seen such a dancing witch, stretching its limbs, jumping, and spinning... The head of the Jiaotou clan watched for a long time before realizing that the young man was dancing around a plant. The plant was actually very conspicuous, half a person tall, pink and purple It was still glowing, but the figure of the young man completely caught his sight, making him unable to notice anything else.
Of course, the young man was not as tall and strong as the head of the Jiaotou clan, but his limbs were slender and white, and his undulating muscle lines made people look dazzled and fascinated.The purple plant surrounded by him was gradually blooming, and the air was filled with intoxicating fragrance. The head of the horned head couldn't help but took a step forward. Take something out of the plant and turn away... away? !
"and many more!"
"Shh!"
The Jiaotou patriarch rushed forward to stop the young man from leaving, but he only took one step before being blocked by a black shadow, a scorpion so huge that he couldn't help but change color.The Jiaotou patriarch took two steps back, and when he raised his head to look for the figure of the young man, he saw that the young man was already sitting on the head of a snake—if the scorpion was a giant, then the snake would be a moving mountain.
"Stranger, I'm in a good mood today." The young man waved his hand at him, and the snake and scorpion turned around. At the same time, the head of the Jiaotou also heard voices coming from the fog, and there were other behemoths hiding in the dark.
"I'm Jiao Kun, the patriarch of Jiaotou! Tell me your name!" Jiao Kun shouted, but the other party didn't even turn around, let alone answer...

"Lie Xing! Lie Xing! I'm done!" Bai Rui and Lie Xing's house is a two-story wooden building, Bai Long put him directly on the second floor, but Bai Rui ran up and down holding the newly bred Gu worm After looking around, I realized that there was no one at home.Curling his lips, Bai Rui sat on Bailong again and went straight to the meeting hall.
Due to different special circumstances, although the residences of the three witches in Maocheng are also in the city, they are also an independent area with no people around them.The meeting hall is the largest building in the city. As the name suggests, the elders in the city usually work here. If any bad things happen in the city, the judgment is also here.
The streets of Maocheng are very wide, and outsiders just lament, only the people in the city know that this is to allow them to come and go freely anywhere.And although it is already night, Maocheng is still very lively with torches lit everywhere.People rode on worms, sat on beasts, carried things on their backs, and pulled children to and fro on the streets.Suddenly there was a bang bang bang sound from one end of the street, it was patrolling soldiers knocking on a large worm shell.The Maocheng people immediately stood on both sides of the street. Although the outsiders were ignorant, they either reacted on their own or were dragged by the Maocheng people, and they all avoided to the side.
"What's going on here?"
"The great witch is here."
"Big witch?!"
"What are you kneeling for? Stand up quickly! Be careful that the people behind cannot see you, and you will be trampled to death in a while."
"Huh? Oh."
Although the kneeling man was pulled up, he still obviously looked timid.He has been to other big cities, not to mention the big witches, even the "nobles" with higher status will kneel down when they pass by.Not long after, the huge figure crawling over from the receiving side caused even more screams from the crowd.This also caused the locals, or those familiar with Maocheng to burst into laughter.But as the huge figure approached, most people no longer cared about what other people were doing. They all raised their arms, screamed and cheered loudly, and some even took out cloth, food, and even flowers to throw at the giant snake. Throwing it away, the scene was so lively that it was like a sacrifice.
