Chapter 586: A Show of Power
The silver-white giant eagle soared into the sky and flew into the dark space.
Inside the giant eagle's belly, Yu Cang looked around and could only see countless silver streams of light rapidly flying towards him... It was unknown what space the giant eagle had escaped into, and its flying speed was also extremely fast.
In the blink of an eye, with the cry of an eagle as loud as the sound next to my ear, the space in front of me suddenly opened up, and a grassland appeared behind the silver-white energy!
Wow...
The giant eagle landed on the ground, transformed into a silver-white storm that spread out and dissipated into the air.
Yu Cang appeared in the energy, slowly walked out of the storm, and turned his gaze to the front.
This is a vast grassland. They are standing on a gentle slope, but what they see is not green, but yellow.
The grass growing on this grassland has yellow leaves and looks a bit dull, but when such a large area of color suddenly comes into view, it makes people feel relaxed.
Ahead, at a slightly lower place, a stream runs through the entire grassland. In the middle of the river, a group of tents are scattered around, of varying heights. There are also some farmlands near the river, where unknown crops are planted.
At this time, Nazhe said: "Back then, the old villain Sajue wanted to exterminate the Na clan. Fortunately, our Na clan is very good at the Totem of the Sky. Grandpa brought the core members of the tribe and many civilians to this space.
"Among the Hunters, when it comes to the Totem of the Sky, our clan is second only to us. No one dares to claim first place. Even the Imperial Master wouldn't be able to find us if we tried to hide."
Yu Cang nodded: "It is indeed spectacular."
When he came here, he did not take back the air.
Now, Kong was still exploring near the place where they had just entered the Hunter Clan.
Thanks to his relationship with Kong, Yu Cang could barely locate their position here - it was indeed a different space, but it was not completely separated from the Longevity Tent.
The sky here is still covered with clouds, like a deep tent, and the light is the same as outside, all golden like sunlight.
With Tai Chu's reminder, Yu Cang knew that these lights came from the "golden body" in the "Buddha Kingdom"... Thinking about it this way, the light was also very dirty.
"Come on, I'll take you to see your father."
…
The group walked down the hillside and saw many farmlands on both sides of the road, but their shapes were strange and irregular. It was obvious that the hunting tribe's agricultural level was not very good.
There were many people working in the fields. Most of them looked pale and thin, and it was obvious that they had been malnourished for a long time.
Seeing Nazhe and his group passing by, one of the people who was farming seemed a little curious and looked over here. However, the next second -
Bang!
A sharp roar suddenly sounded, and a black shadow instantly fell on the man's back. It was actually a thick whip!
The blow was so powerful that it knocked the man to the ground, causing his expression to twist together. He was obviously in great pain... But he didn't dare to make a sound. He just bit his lip, quickly got up, and continued to work on the farm.
Seeing this, Yu Cang and his group all frowned tightly.
Yu Cang opened his mouth and was about to say something when Nazhe suddenly glared at him and shouted into the distance:
"Idiot! What are you doing!!!"
"ah?"
When Nazhe shouted, the aura of the seventh-level soul card master was released instantly, and heavy pressure spread out, like a ferocious beast, fiercely attacking the mind of the hunter holding the whip!
The man only had time to stutter before his body went limp and he fell to his knees on the ground.
"I...I...Sir, I am only doing my duty..."
"What a disgrace! Doing this in front of the guests!"
"Yes, yes... please spare my life, sir..."
"Humph." Nazhe snorted coldly, "Stand up."
"yes……"
The hunter stood up shakily, not even picking up the whip that had fallen to the ground.
Nazhe's shout not only frightened him, but also scared all the farmers around him. They all fell to the ground, trembling all over, and dared not get up.
Nazhe turned around and clasped his fists towards Yu Cangyi: "I'm sorry for letting this family shame slip. Please forgive me."
Yu Cang: "..."
He didn't expect that in the 1011th year of the new calendar, he would still see such a primitive and backward scene.
Yu Cang was about to say something just now, but Nazhe had already scolded him first, so he suddenly had no reason to speak - after all, this was someone else's territory, and he was an outsider, so it was not appropriate for him to make demands right away.
Nazhe continued, "Do you think these farmlands look a bit rugged?"
“…A little.”
"Our hunting tribe's farming techniques are naturally no match for those of the Yan Nation." Nazhe shook his head. "But the Imperial Master controls access to the Changsheng Tent. If we send herders out of the Changsheng Tent to graze salt sheep, the Imperial Master will surely discover us... We have no choice but to grow some food to fill our stomachs.
"Besides, the land in the Changsheng Tent isn't very fertile, so we can't cultivate it on a large scale... During this exchange, we must learn from you. We can even trade our experience in herding salt sheep with you."
Yu Cang: "...definitely."
This condition is a bit abstract.
Yan State has not been troubled by food problems for hundreds of years.
Yan State is an agricultural civilization, and its planting technology is always ahead in any era. There is nothing much to say about this.
But... in his opinion, the way your hunter tribe herds salt sheep is too primitive.
The herders are also required to take the salt sheep to graze on the grasslands where wild beasts are everywhere.
Can't we be more scientific? Analyze what's in this grass, extract it, and set up a farm or something.
It can be seen that the hunting tribe is really isolated from the outside world... Nazhe actually thinks that their herding experience can be exchanged with the Yan Kingdom.
It's a mess.
Yu Cang couldn't say anything in front of others... But if providing planting technology could make those farmers' lives easier, Yu Cang would be happy to do charity.
No...it would be more accurate to say they were serfs rather than farmers.
Nazhe didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. Seeing Yu Cang agree, he was quite happy.
Although the technique of herding salt sheep is a secret, they are almost driven out of their family by the imperial master, so who cares about it?
He turned and said to the hunter who was standing there trembling, "Come here—take those two people away and assign them some work."
He didn't know these people, but it didn't matter.
I promised to arrange the work before, and it’s a good time to do it now...so that I won’t forget it later.
Behind him, Lou Yan frowned as he looked at the farmers kneeling in the fields on both sides.
At this moment, he felt mixed emotions.
He came here from Yan Country.
During the six months he stayed in Yan Country, his food and clothing were provided by the association, so he didn't have to worry about his survival at all.
I also met a few warrior friends who could speak the Hunter language and chatted with them a lot.
However, he was used to being served in the royal court before, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He thought that this was the same kind of life all over the world.
Only after he came back did he realize it.
The kind of life he saw in Yan Country, the kind of life that ordinary soldiers and ordinary civilians could enjoy, could only be seen in the "Golden and Jade Heaven" near the Great Royal Court among the Hunter Clan.
Look at that farmer... He got whipped so hard just for looking up a little longer.
I have to keep my head down all day and can’t even look up at the sky... Isn’t this really torture?
Lou Yan looked at the two hunters who were brought in. He thought they would look embarrassed, but to his surprise, the two men immediately knelt on the ground, their faces full of joy, thanking him profusely and looking up at Nazhe continuously.
Nazhe was annoyed by what he heard and waved his hand. The man over there immediately picked up the whip from the ground and took the two people to the side.
Lou Yan was silent.
Yes... Although this kind of life is painful, at least I can still be alive.
"Okay, now that the chores are done, everyone, follow me."
…
Nazhe led everyone to the big tent in the center. After having a few people sit down and wait for a while, Na Jun came in with a middle-aged man with a serious face.
Nazhe stood up immediately:
"Everyone, this is my father..."
The middle-aged man waved his hand, interrupting Nazhe's introduction.
"I am Naga, the head of the Na clan."
Naga's eyes were like an eagle, slowly sweeping over everyone present.
"Na Jun told me, are you all...really from Yan Country?"
Hearing this, Qiu Jindong raised his hand and saluted: "Of course - this is my certification from the Yan Country Soul Card Master Association. You can take a look."
Qiu Jindong raised his hand and took out something. Seeing this, Naga narrowed his eyes but did not look closely.
"Guests from Yan Country...you are not here to travel to the Longevity Tent at this time, right?"
Qiu Jindong nodded. "We are here at the invitation of your country's Imperial Master to participate in the 'Royal Court Martial Arts Tournament' and to exchange friendship between our two countries."
!
As soon as Qiu Jindong said this, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly froze!
Naga narrowed his eyes slightly, and his fingertips moved slightly, and a ray of light flashed on them.
"...Na Jun said that since you know about the Killing Army, you should also know about our relationship with that thief, the Imperial Master."
"I've heard something," Qiu Jindong said. "Sa Jue has committed many brutal acts, and there's widespread resentment within the Changsheng tent. Your rebellion is truly a righteous act."
"Then—you still dare to come to my territory?!"
Naga's narrowed eyes opened instantly, and a fierce aura burst out. He was actually a guardian of the country!
The Na clan and the Imperial Master are mortal enemies, and Yu Cang and his group are the Imperial Master's guests... I'm afraid they have reached some kind of cooperation with the Imperial Master!
The Naga's aura filled the tent and swept across everyone's body. Suddenly, Yu Cang's soul energy well was also activated by this aura, and the strength of the sixth-level soul card master was involuntarily revealed!
"Then Patriarch, please don't be angry. We dare to come here, so we are definitely not from the Imperial Master's side."
Qiu Jindong showed a smile, light and light, as if he had no power.
At the same time, the aura of the country's guardian also leaked out quietly, like flowing water, creating a safe area under the Naga's aura.
As soon as Qiu Jindong said this, Naga's serious expression disappeared and a smile appeared on his face very naturally.
"Of course I trust you all... I hope you can forgive me. I am responsible for the safety of my entire clan, young and old, and I cannot afford to take any risks."
The extremely sharp national aura just now disappeared silently, and Naga smiled as if everything that happened just now had never happened.
Of course, he wasn't really angry. What he said just now was just an opportunity to take some action and test his strength.
Sure enough, there is a national guardian in this team.
Once the momentum passed, he already knew the strength of several people, but... why didn't that cloaked man react at all?
Naga thought to himself.
Logically speaking, no matter how good the hiding method is, it will be exposed once forced by his momentum.
But... the cloaked man seemed to be strolling leisurely in the garden, showing neither imposingness nor being intimidated.
How could it be... I am the guardian of the country, and I am not affected by my own aura. I can't be a myth, right?
Haha, what a joke, the entire hunting tribe has only one myth, how could I possibly encounter such an existence?
Suppressing this doubt in his heart, Naga remained calm on the surface and said:
"Just empty words, what evidence do you have to prove that you are not on the side of the Imperial Master?"
Hearing this, Qiu Jindong seemed to have anticipated it.
He smiled softly: "Of course there is - then, Master, look at what this is."
After saying that, he waved his hand and opened the soul card space on his body. The small box fell out of it and landed on the table.
At the door, Na Jun and Na Zhe looked at each other, somewhat bewildered. And the moment the box appeared, Naga's expression suddenly changed!
What's inside is...
"Then the master of the family." Qiu Jindong extended his hand and beckoned, "Why don't you open it and take a look?"
Naga: “…”
He was silent for a moment, then said, "This thing...where did you get it from?"
"I saw it on the road and picked it up."
The corners of Naga's mouth moved slightly, and after a long time, he reached out, picked it up, and gently opened the lid.
Inside... is Salang's head!
open eyes!
Salang's eyes were still open, and he died with his eyes open. Even though Naga was prepared, his heart still trembled.
Behind him, Na Jun saw it out of the corner of his eye, took a deep breath, and quickly covered his mouth to prevent himself from screaming out.
Bang!
Naga closed the lid.
He knew this man's appearance very well.
The second son of the national master Sa Jue was just promoted to the guardian of the country last year!
Sa Jue has only three sons, two of whom are guardians of the country. With such terrifying talents, they can be called terrifying no matter where they are.
Moreover, the national teacher controls the resources of the entire Longevity Account. Although Salang has just been promoted to the guardian of the country, he still has all the necessary things, and his combat effectiveness is not weak among the guardians of the country!
What's more, Salan is so young, maybe he will have a chance to try to become a legend in the future...
And now, the head of this favored child of heaven... lies in a small box, with his eyes open in death.
What did Qiu Jindong say just now... just picked it? This is the head of the country.
Haha, it's a back and forth fight. He just gave me a warning, and now the other party is retaliating.
Taking out this head, firstly, shows that there is no possibility of cooperation between them and Sa Jue, and secondly... it shows that they have the ability to easily kill the country.
Qiu Jindong was telling him clearly - don't do anything unnecessary, otherwise your head might also be put in a small box, and then it would be shown to the national teacher.
It's cruel, but... he won't be scared by this.
However, I originally wanted to keep a few people in the tent and not let them participate in the martial arts competition. Now it seems that this plan is not feasible.
