Chapter 63: Flame Tattoo
With 35 hours left in the countdown to the Lord Trial Mission, Zhang Yang finally succeeded in rubbing a tree that two people could hug into a spear as thick as a goose egg.
The tree crowns and roots all withered one after another under the influence of his soul force field, and even the trunks were constantly compressed, just like steel that had been forged thousands of times, and was finally fully formed after repeated forging.
This is truly a rub.
Moreover, the spear was quite heavy. It was only three meters long but weighed more than two hundred kilograms. With Zhang Yang's physical strength, he could only lift it up for show but could not swing it at all. Even if it was placed in a soul force field, it could not be activated like the Spear of Confinement.
It seems that this spear can only be used by Wu Yuan.
At the same time, the attributes of this spear also appeared in the information mapped by the village construction order.
"You have successfully crafted a top-grade magical weapon, the spear (unnamed), (check properties)."
"Lance, black quality, durability 500/500."
"Features: Armor-breaking, will cause huge damage to the target's armor/shield/scales."
"Feature: Breaking the block will reduce the target's block success rate by 80%."
"Features: Indestructible."

"Let's call it the Hero's Spear. It's a good omen. I hope you can succeed in this battle and live up to the name of this spear."
Zhang Yang smiled. Even though he was tired at this moment, he was extremely peaceful in his heart because he had seen the result. If he still couldn't kill the saber-toothed tiger king, he would just find a stone to hit himself to death.
"Wu Yuan will live up to the trust of the village chief and use the saber-tooth tiger king's head as a gift for the birth of this spear!"
Wu Yuan was also extremely excited. He stroked the spear with both hands, just like he was hugging his wife. Fortunately, he recovered quickly.
"Village Chief, there is still a day and a half left until the final mission. How about we seal the fire spirit first?"
"No, go kill the saber-tooth tiger king first, and then find that Guy. I want to make a deal with him and ask him whether he wants my head or the secret of the fire spirit. His parents are both former tiger priests, so they must know something."
"Then how do we find them? It's hard to find them in this vast mountain area." Wu Yuan said worriedly.
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It's easy to find him. Gai should be wandering around the territory of the Guru tribe now. Wherever he is, the Sabre-toothed Tiger King will naturally follow him."
"I don't quite understand."
"It's very simple. Guy is most afraid of this saber-tooth tiger king. Perhaps he knows very well that if this thing is chasing him, he can't escape even if he runs to the horizon, so he needs help. He first used you, hoping that we and the saber-tooth tiger king would both suffer losses, but it didn't work. So who will he look for next? The Erhu tribe? Or the Suoke tribe? Or the Huaka tribe? No, they are all too weak."
"In this area, only Gua Ge, the chief of the Guru tribe, is the most powerful. His bare-handed strength is close to the legendary level. So Gai has to find a way to get close to the Guru tribe, such as falling in love at first sight with Gua Ge's daughter."
At this point, Zhang Yang showed a strange smile, because he thought of the plot in the movie. It seemed that the first meeting between the hero and the heroine was accidental, but wasn't it the hero Gai who lured the heroine out of the cave with fire? Then Gai started to sell his doomsday theory. The heroine didn't believe it, so Gai immediately gave her a conch horn, saying that she should blow it whenever she encountered danger.
It's ridiculous. With your tiny arms and legs, how could you save Brother Gua who has almost legendary strength? Also, you ran over when you heard the conch horn. Isn't that just making things worse? It means you've been hanging around nearby. Otherwise, how could you have gotten here in time?
This plot of a hero saving a beauty is too old-fashioned and can only fool primitive people.
"Come on, lead the way to the territory of the Gulu tribe."
——
An hour later, Zhang Yang and Wu Yuan saw the unique cave territory of the Guru tribe. Two huge stone cliffs collapsed and squeezed together to form a huge space. This is where the Guru tribe basks in the sun and takes sand baths every day. As for the cave where they live, it was not formed naturally, but was dug out by the successive patriarchs of the Guru tribe with their fists.
As for the huge rock used to block the entrance of the cave, it is several times larger than the one used by the Guata tribe.
It is very quiet here at the moment, because the Gollum tribe has all gone out hunting. They include men, women, old and young. Unfortunately, since they do not have access to fire, their food source is quite monotonous.
But even so, they are the most enjoyable aristocratic class among the five tribes in this area.
At least the Guata tribe never dared to provoke the giant horned bird, which is also legendary in strength but is a herbivorous bird. However, the breakfast of the Guru tribe is the eggs of the giant horned bird, which are about half the size of a water tank and must be extremely delicious. It is much more pleasant than eating raw bloody meat.
Wu Yuan looked left and right at this time, and said very confidently: "Village Chief, the saber-toothed tiger king is not here. I can sense it."
"It doesn't matter, let's climb up first."
Zhang Yang pointed to the steep cliff opposite. In the movie, Guy appeared here at night, lured the heroine out with fire, and fell in love with her at first sight.
If this is not a coincidence, then it is very likely that Gai is hiding there. After all, the Sabre-toothed Tiger King has appeared, and this is the safest place in this area.
The cliff was very steep, but this did not pose a problem for Wu Yuan. He tied the spear to his back and climbed up like a monkey. Zhang Yang did not move at all until he heard Wu Yuan's angry roar from above.
In a moment, he climbed down again, holding a thin boy under his arms, and stood right in front of Zhang Yang.
"Village Chief, this is the guy!"
The young man cried out, and although he looked disheveled, he still showed his small white teeth. He waved and greeted Zhang Yang, his two big eyes full of innocence.
Who would have thought that such a young boy with a pig's foot face could be so cunning? "Guy, we are old acquaintances, so I will be frank. We will help you kill the saber-toothed tiger king that is chasing you, and you will tell me all the information about the Son of the Sun. How about that?"
Zhang Yang squatted down and said calmly.
"Sabertooth Tiger King? I don't understand what you are talking about."
Gai looked innocent and said the same words as Zhang Yang, but his pronunciation was weird.
"How about I strip you naked and hang you here like a shed squirrel to see if Brother Gua's daughter will like you? Or should I just go and tell Brother Gua that there is a guy trying to lure a saber-toothed tiger here? What do you think the result will be?" Zhang Yang sneered.
Guy was silent, then he raised his eyebrows, "I don't believe you. The night before yesterday was the best time for you to hunt that saber-toothed tiger, but you ran away at the last minute and hurt me so much. I won't believe you anymore."
Zhang Yang smiled slightly, not taking it seriously, and then suddenly asked:
"Okay, let me ask you another question. Who taught you our language?"
"This is clearly the language of our tiger tribe. What do you want to say? Ouch!"
Zhang Yang suddenly pried one of Gai's fingers away and said, "Believe me, kid, I'm not a bad person. But if you dare to fool me again, I will immediately chop off all your fingers and toes and stuff them into your mouth."
"I said, my parents taught me. They know many languages, including the language of these cave people, but I don't know where they learned it from."
"Very good, that's right. Tell me the secret of the Son of the Sun, and I will kill that saber-toothed tiger for you."
Zhang Yang rationally did not ask about the secrets of Gai's parents, because there were obviously many secrets in this world, and he no longer had enough time and energy to explore them. Now he was just thinking about completing his trial mission so that he could return to the village and make preparations in advance to deal with the invasion of the orcs.
"No, you have to kill the sabertooth tiger first, then I will tell you."
Gai also looked like a bachelor at this time, but Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Okay, no problem, you come with us later, we will kill the saber-toothed tiger on the spot, and then you can tell me the secret of the Son of the Sun on the spot, how about that?"
"No, it's too dangerous!"
Gai's expression changed immediately. It was obvious that he was extremely afraid of the saber-tooth tiger king, and he didn't believe that Zhang Yang and the others could kill the saber-tooth tiger at all.
"That's no use. You don't believe us, and we don't believe you either. How about this, you tell us some less important secrets first, and then we'll come back to you to ask for the most important secrets after we kill the Sabretooth Tiger King? How about that?"
Zhang Yang is patient and persuasive.
Guy was silent again. After a long while, he spoke: "The Son of the Sun is extremely powerful. It has the ability to control fire and can make the earth shine with light even in the dark night. Normally, it stays dormant under the mountains, but sometimes it will abnormally appear on the ground. At this time, the priest of the Son of the Sun is needed to keep it sleeping."
"My parents were sacrificed by the leader because they could never put the Son of the Sun to sleep. Then I was elected as the priest of the Son of the Sun, but I also knew that the Son of the Sun had become very violent due to some circumstances we could not know about, and it could no longer sleep. That's why I foresaw the coming of the end of the world. I ran away, but the leader thought I was a traitor, so he sent people to hunt me down."
"That's all I know. Believe it or not."
"You, I mean how did your parents make the Son of the Sun fall into a deep sleep?" Zhang Yang asked again. This was the core information he wanted. Putting the Son of the Sun into a deep sleep meant sealing the Fire Spirit, right?
"Go and kill the Sabretooth Tiger King first. I'll tell you when I come back. I'll stay here and won't go anywhere."
Guy said this firmly and sincerely.
Zhang Yang looked at him for a second, then laughed and glanced at the flame tattoo on Gai's body inconspicuously. "You little guy, do you think I won't know if you don't tell me?"
"make a deal!"
