Chapter 352: Yunnan Tribe
The banquet was indeed rich, but it was not large in scale, with only twenty or thirty tables arranged around a three-story-high bonfire.
It was not as large as the impromptu celebration banquet held by Mo Xiaoyan.
In front of the bonfire, the huge corpse of the cockatrice lay horizontally, causing the goblin to shudder. Whenever the servants who served the meal passed by the corpse of the cockatrice, they would tremble involuntarily, and the tableware in their hands would clink, and it took a while for them to calm down.
There were many kinds of food at the banquet, but I didn't recognize them. The only ones I recognized were those I had seen in the morning. However, there were very few of them, and only a few tables had them. Moreover, the goblins at these tables were dressed the brightest, and they should be the goblins with higher status in the tribe. It seemed that these things were really rare, just as Potato's grandfather said.
During the banquet, there were also several fairy girls dancing, who were said to be the most beautiful girls in the tribe.
Looking at the dry little potato-like things twisting around in the field, Shi Yan felt a little nauseous.
During the banquet, Mo Zixie nudged Shi Yan with his elbow and whispered, "I think this place is a little strange."
Shi Yan frowned slightly, "What did you find?"
Mo Zixie shook his head. "I just think they are too enthusiastic. A little too enthusiastic."
Mo Chou nodded, "Yeah, I also think you are too enthusiastic."
"Is there?" Mo Buyong's mouth was full of food, and his hands were still holding two legs of an unknown creature. He muttered, "I feel great. I have food and drink. I want to stay here and not leave."
Shi Yan glanced at him and said, "Then you can stay."
"Hehe," Mo Buyong said quickly, "I'm just kidding. I, Mo Buyong, still want to pick up girls. These little devils are not as pretty as sows."
"Then shut up!" Mo Zixie glared at him and snorted unceremoniously.
Mo Buyong pursed his lips, tilted his head to eat and stopped talking.
"Back to the topic." Mo Zixie said, "I think they want something, so they are so attentive to us."
"Why?" Mo Chou was a little confused.
"Shi Yan, you should have guessed a little bit." Mo Zixie said with a smile.
"A little bit." Shi Yan did not deny it. "Look at the table. The food we had this morning is so scarce here. The high-ranking officials of the tribe only had this little, but we had a full table of food this morning."
"That's right." Mo Zixie nodded.
"After thinking about it, maybe Potato's grandfather knew that we killed the chicken snake, so he was so attentive. It seems that he hopes we will do something dangerous."
Sure enough, after the banquet, Potato’s grandfather invited them over.
They came to a hall where more than ten goblins were sitting. They were all dressed in bright and beautiful clothes. They were the goblins who ate the magic mud of sunflower stone juice at the banquet. They were indeed people of status in the tribe.
The room was big, but the chair was too small for Shi Yan to sit on. Finally, Potato's grandfather had to order someone to drag in a few small beds to serve as stools.
"First of all, I want to announce a good news. I'm sure everyone has seen it just now. The big problem that has troubled our Sunflower Tribe for so many years has finally been solved by my grandson, Potato!" Potato's grandfather proudly listened to his little chest and said, "This is inseparable from my teachings. Although I am engaged in scientific research, I also know a few martial arts. Because of my teachings when Potato was a child, there is no Potato today!"
"That's right, I taught Potato a few tricks back then, and I didn't expect it to be so useful."
"When I was young, I taught Little Potato all the tricks I used to beat tigers and capture dragons. Haha, it seems he really learned them. Otherwise, how could he kill the chicken snake?"
Starting from Potato's grandfather, all the little goblins started to brag about themselves. After all, they all had a share of the credit for killing the chicken snake. When all the credit was added together, Potato had already taken all the credit, as if they had killed the chicken snake themselves. Shi Yan and the others were stunned. The little goblins were really thick-skinned.
After praising themselves for a few minutes, they finally stopped boasting.
"Then I would like to thank the guests who came from afar. If it weren't for your small help, the chicken snake would not have died." Potato's grandfather said with great distress, as if it would cost him his life to take away a small part of the credit.
"No, no, it's all Potato's credit. We didn't help much." Shi Yan laughed. If he hadn't wanted to get some useful things from the Sunflower Tribe, Shi Yan would have slammed the table and said that he had killed the chicken snake himself and it was none of Potato's business!
"Yes, yes, it's all thanks to Potato, who I taught so hard. It has nothing to do with you." Potato's grandfather was extremely happy, as if he had gotten a great bargain, and said with a grin.
Shi Yan wanted to curse.
"You must be very touched to have come to our tribe and received our unprecedented hospitality, right?"
Shi Yan wanted to scold his grandma.
"You must want to do something within your ability to thank us for your hospitality. That must be the case. But you are guests from afar, so how can we let you work hard? In fact, we don't have much to do. Our Sunflower Tribe is the most powerful tribe in the world. What can't we do? But we are worried that you will feel bad, so we deliberately left out a little thing for you."
Shi Yan wanted to curse his ancestors. It seems that I was the one who cried and begged you to give us something to do, right?
Seeing Mo Zixie constantly glaring at him, Shi Yan silently held back.
"You say." Shi Yan said gritting his teeth.
Potato's grandfather nodded, not looking embarrassed at all, "It's like this, there is a small tribe nearby, called the Yunnan tribe, bah, that's really ugly." When Potato's grandfather mentioned the Yunnan tribe, he spit on the ground and continued, "We have something that was taken away by that tribe, you just need to take it back."
"I need some detailed information. Without it, it will be difficult for us to take action." Shi Yan thought about it, agreed, and then said, "For example, how big the tribe is, how many people there are, how strong it is, what the things are, where they are hidden, how they are guarded, etc."
"Oh, I can tell you this right now." Potato's grandfather said, "The Yunnan tribe is a small tribe, yes, very small. The delicious magic mud is produced in the Yunshen Swamp next to the Yunnan tribe. If you go there, bring some back. There are not many people in the Yunnan tribe, there are very few warriors, and the strength is very weak. They are no match for our Sunflower Tribe at all, so you can rest assured. I will find one of the best warriors in our tribe to accompany you, so don't worry!"
Looking at the valley in front of him, which was twice the size of a big city in Xuanlong Realm, Shi Yan knew that he couldn't believe the little goblin's words.
This huge valley is the Yunnan Tribe, which is ten times larger than the Sunflower Tribe. There are estimated to be millions of goblins in it.
What a very small tribe, a tribe with not many people...
Shi Yan already knew the goblin's speaking habits, which were to lift themselves up to the sky and compare others to be worthless. This was the goblin tribe, and the goblin's words could only be heard in reverse to get the real message.
"Is this the Yunnan tribe?" Shi Yan asked the little goblin beside him. This little goblin was the little goblin on the turret before, and it seemed to be called something like Tomato...all the names of vegetables.
"Yes, this is the Yunnan Tribe." His eyes were full of envy, and he said, "This place is small and shabby, not at all as grand as the Sunflower Tribe."
Although Shi Yan was used to it, the veins on his eyebrows still twitched. He was really bragging with his eyes open, without even blinking.
"Look, that short building in the center is our target this time. The things we lost are inside that building."
Looking at the hundred-foot-tall building in the center, Shi Yan pinched his brows and said, "You haven't told me what you lost."
"Oh! I was so busy that I forgot such a small thing." Tomato slapped his head and screamed, "It's a gorgeous stone slab with many pictures and square-like words on it. You should be able to see it at a glance."
Shi Yan nodded and looked at Mo Zixie and Mo Chou.
Only Mo Zixie and Mo Chou came with them on this operation, while Long Er and the others stayed in the Sunflower Tribe.
"action!"
Mo Zixie and Mo Chou nodded.
Then they grabbed Tomato's neck and the three of them rushed out.
The houses in the Yunnan tribe are generally bigger and taller than those in the Sunflower Tribe. They are about the same size as the houses where the cultivators live. Some are even bigger than the houses where the cultivators live. This brings a lot of convenience to the actions of Shi Yan and the other two.
The three of them walked very fast. Tomato, who was held in Shi Yan's hand, couldn't open his eyes due to the wind. He cried out in fear, but his speed was too fast. The cry passed through the air in an instant, so that the little demons of the Yunnan tribe could not detect it at all.
After walking through the streets and alleys, we came to a forest of five people with a row of walls on the side. This wall was the central building of the Yunnan tribe. This time our target was inside this building.
Just as Shi Yan was about to break through the wall, he was stopped by Tomato.
"No, there is a protective shield made of red flower stone outside the wall. If we break the wall, the protective shield will be able to sense the wall being destroyed and will issue a warning."
"So troublesome?" Shi Yan frowned, then squinted his eyes and looked around, but found nothing unusual. "Are you telling the truth? Why didn't I find any shield?"
Tomato took out a pair of glasses and explained, "I'm not very clear about the specific principle behind this, but put on these glasses and you'll be able to see the protective shield."
Shi Yan took the small glasses. The size of the glasses was made according to that of a little fairy, so he couldn't wear them. He could only put them close to the lenses to see.
Through the black lenses, Shi Yan discovered that red light woven into a grid was constantly moving on the wall. This light was composed of a special energy. It seemed to be the energy of the red flower stone that Tomato mentioned, that is, the energy emitted by the blood stone.
"There shouldn't be such a thing on the ground." Shi Yan looked up and found that the towering buildings were surrounded by this kind of energy shield.
"Probably not." Tomato was not sure.
Shi Yan was not sure, because the glasses could only see the protective cover but not see through it, but at least there was no such protective cover on the surface of the ground.
"Then go down."
