This cloth feels no different to the touch, although it is hard, but there must be a reason why they use it as a weapon to entangle themselves.
"So you've been there so long you know something."
"That group of people is very fierce, and if I'm not mistaken, that black cloth should be used to strangle one of the prey."
?
What does this mean.
Then, this unknown Dongfang told such a story, and this story was also what he heard from the people in the oasis.
It sounds so magical that I don't know whether it is true or not.
Legend has it that there is a place in the desert where falcons are said to be circling. If a falcon eats a person, it means that the person was vicious and was killed directly.
If they don't eat humans, they are good people. Not only will they not be killed, but they will also be treated well as a sign of respect.
It happened in that era. It was a windy day. The tranquility in the desert was broken for no reason and a strong wind blew up. The wind was very heavy.
The whistling sound of the wind scared almost everyone.
Facing the wind should be a good omen, but this wind brought destruction, bringing destruction to the people in that oasis.
Naturally, there was a group of people holding butcher knives and leading camels, dressed like wandering merchants. But the falcon flying in the sky didn't eat anyone, so they relaxed.
After inviting them in, he entertained them with almost no other thoughts.
"You guys, come here so you can eat it raw."
As soon as he finished speaking, tragedy struck. The banquet that was supposed to be held turned into the anniversary of the death of that group of people. And the group of people who were having dinner robbed the whole place of treasure and left.
They were resentful and crazy, so they put on the clothes of the gang of thieves and improved them, and then dyed the black silk cloth with blood to make it the authentic loincloth.
They were very simple-minded and just wanted to find the descendants of that group of people one day and kill them to vent their anger.
After saying this, Dongfang sighed and put down the black belt in his hand. Xiao Chenzi, who was standing next to him, looked at the belt next to him and became excited.
"This... this belt, could it be the weapon they use to kill people?"
If you listen to what they say, then the meaning should be similar, so is this really a perfect weapon for killing people?!
"This belt is excellent. Look at the scattered saw teeth at the corners. They must have been inspired by sawtooth grass."
Zhao Xin picked it up and looked at it carefully, and he also saw the blade next to it. With just a light press, a blade appeared out of thin air in the jagged place.
"knife…"
Xiao Chenzi was even more shocked.
This little eunuch was very startled.
I don’t know that Dongfang obviously doesn’t know much about this thing.
After all, they didn't tell him what this thing was used for since they gave it to him. From the legends they told him, he guessed that this thing was used to kill people.
I didn't expect that this thing could actually pop out blades, and when I looked at them, they were so sharp.
There was no telling when this blade would strike his throat directly.
"This blade is not an ordinary blade. It is poisoned."
Zhao Xin took a look and gave the answer calmly.
This poisonous light is flashing, who knows what the poison is.
"What!"
Dongfang, who was standing next to him, was a little surprised. That day, the chief of the tribe gave him this thing and said that as long as he cut his wrist with this knife, he could become a member of the tribe.
And he did it all.
Now the emperor actually told him that this thing is actually poisonous. Who wouldn’t be scared by this?
It's poisonous, and judging by the emperor's expression, it doesn't look like a good thing.
"This thing is considered a sharp weapon, but I don't know which tribe it belongs to. I've heard from ancient texts that this thing is powerful and very threatening."
"They are usually filled with things like razor blades and silver needles to secretly take people's lives, but they are actually essential for home and travel."
At this time, a man came in from outside holding a book.
The book contains the pros and cons of this thing, and the thing drawn on it is almost the same as this thing.
"Why are you here?"
The person outside the door was Wen Nana who had just left.
It's a bit inappropriate for her to come in alone without anyone asking her out first.
I saw that she was holding a book in her hands. It was obvious that the book was very old. The wrinkles and torn cover on it showed that the book was several generations old, and the pages were yellowed.
She just flipped it twice, then coughed and pointed at a sharp weapon on it.
"This thing is meant to be used in conjunction with other things, and using that knife to cut oneself is purely for the purpose of recognizing its master. It's a ridiculous statement, but that's indeed the explanation in the ancient book."
So at that time, the people of that tribe didn't want to do anything to him, they just wanted to use his blood to recognize their master.
If you say that, wouldn't it be even more ridiculous?
Using his blood to recognize a master, what kind of master is that?
"You have to understand one thing. I am not a member of their tribe. I just stayed with him for a few days and then returned."
I don't know why Dongfang couldn't explain it.
However, the content of the ancient book was inconsistent, and due to the erosion of time, some of the words on it were really unclear.
So no one cared, but they didn't expect that there was someone in this dark wasteland.
Moreover, it is a tribe on the oasis, and I have sent soldiers to guard it for such a long time. Could it be that I just sent people to guard their house?
"Are you sure there are people in this dark wasteland?"
Who dares to lie about this?
Dongfang was not sure whether he was sure or not, and then he pointed at his eyeballs. Besides, what good would it do to lie to him?
"Of course what you say is true. If it is false, I am afraid there is no need to take it."
"But you probably don't know one thing. I've been sending troops for a long time, but there's been no news at all. We've preliminarily determined that group of people have died in the Black Wasteland."
"You came back and told us that there was an oasis inside. So, let's think about it another way. Maybe they all ended up in the oasis one by one."
Although this sounds a bit weird, it is really possible that this group of people have drifted into the Black Wasteland. However, drifting is drifting...
"Then Your Majesty..."
"I won't ask you for now. I just want to know why you came back alone when you went with a team. Where did the rest of the people go?"
After hearing this, Dongfang seemed to sigh.
He didn't expect the emperor to ask him this question.
But at this point, he could only tell the truth. After all, if he tried to hide it, he would be unable to do so.
Then he sighed.
"The team I led was indeed quite large, but half of them were dispersed as soon as they arrived at the Black Wasteland."
