Chapter 1844: Bark Man
Tang Bao quickly patted Dabai and Dalang to comfort them.
"Don't scream."
However, as soon as Tang Bao finished speaking, a group of people holding long-haired weapons rushed out of the woods.
Well, we should call someone.
After all, everyone has a nose and eyes.
However, the exposed skin of these people was covered with bark-like patches, making them look as if they were wearing a piece of bark clothing.
Naturally, it just looks like that.
Because, judging from the animal skins or leaves wrapped around these people's waists, they should not be wearing bark clothes underneath.
Besides, it is impossible for someone to wear bark clothes inside and animal skins or leaves outside in such hot weather.
Aren’t you afraid of heatstroke?
What's more, according to Tang Bao and others' understanding of the customs of southern Xinjiang, they don't think that the people here are so conservative as to wrap themselves up tightly.
Especially people in many tribes, they wish they could be naked all day long and wear nothing to keep cool.
After these people rushed out, they pointed the spears in their hands at the crowd and made "ho ho ho" sounds with their mouths.
Princess Linghua asked suspiciously, "What are they doing? Driving us away?"
Tang Bao nodded.
"Obviously, you're right."
Anyone can see that this is an unfriendly situation.
Especially the hostility and vigilance in their eyes are so obvious.
Jing Man hurriedly ran to the front and waved at the "bark man".
"Hey, friends, I'm..."
"Moo—"
"Moo—"
Before Jing Man could finish his words, the earth shook and a large group of white elephants rushed out of the woods.
On the back of each white elephant sits a "bark man" holding a bow and arrow.
Da Pan quickly reached out and protected Xia Siya behind him.
Erpan also hurriedly stood in front of Princess Linghua.
Then, the two brothers instinctively looked towards Tang Bao and Xuanyuan Jin.
"Your Highness, please protect my aunt!"
The two brothers said in unison.
At the critical moment, the two brothers instinctively trusted Xuanyuan Jin.
Although, Xuanyuan Jin is just a child now.
However, in their subconscious, Xuanyuan Jin is still the one who can best protect his aunt.
Perhaps, even they themselves did not notice this.
"Nonsense!" Xuanyuan Jin spat out two words lightly.
Da Pan: "..."
Er Pan: “…”
Well, they don’t need to ask, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will protect my aunt.
They are wasting their time and talking nonsense.
But, I have a weird feeling in my heart.
Why do they feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a little different today?
This concise tone...
Forget it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a little different every day.
The two brothers gave up thinking.
Of course, there was no time for them to think.
“Whoosh!”
“Swoosh…”
With a sound of breaking through the air, bamboo arrows flew towards the crowd.
Everyone was shocked.
Why don't these people have martial ethics?
They had a disagreement, no, they started fighting without saying a word.
Princess Zimo screamed in fright and subconsciously hugged her head.
His body was thrown backwards by a great force, and there was another person in front of him.
"Don't be afraid!"
The steady voice has the power to calm people.
Princess Zimo: "..."
Suddenly I felt much more at ease.
Princess Zimo looked up and was stunned for a moment at the slightly thin figure in front of her.
This pedantic young man doesn't seem so annoying...
Jing Man watched as a bamboo arrow flew towards his face with a sharp sound of wind, and he was almost scared to death.
Is he going to confess here?
At the critical moment, a strong wind blew and all the flying bamboo arrows changed direction.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
“Clatter…”
A series of "bang bang bang" sounds were heard, and the leaves fell down rustlingly.
It turned out that all the bamboo arrows hit the tree trunks nearby.
Moreover, they were shot into the tree trunks in neat rows.
Everyone: “…”
This formation is really neat.
Xuanyuan Jin calmly withdrew his hand, looking like a man who had hidden his achievements and fame.
But, people are not fools.
Who has such skills?
Of course it’s His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Da Pan and Er Pan looked at each other, and tears of envy flowed from the corners of their mouths.
Will they ever be able to surpass His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in this lifetime?
Why does it feel like there is so little hope?
Xuanyuan Jin showed off his skills, which shocked the bark man on the opposite side.
Jing Man took this opportunity to quickly shout to a man sitting on a white elephant in the distance: "Su Ke'er, it's me!"
After saying that, he pointed at his own face and continued shouting, "I am Jing Man! Your friend! Brother!"
The man looked at Jing Man, as if trying to figure out something.
Fortunately, the man quickly jumped off the white elephant and ran towards Jing Man shouting.
"Jing Man! My good brother!"
Jing Man went to meet him with a hearty laugh.
Everyone thought that the two would hug each other warmly and give each other high fives, but that was not the case.
They stopped at the same time when they were about one meter away.
Then, they started dancing face to face with "Hey yo hey yo".
"This way of greeting is really unique." Er Pan said in shock with his eyes wide open.
Seeing this, the tribesmen behind the man put down their long hair and bows and arrows and stopped pointing them at the crowd.
"Hahaha... my good brother!" The man stopped first and reached out to hit Jing Man on the shoulder.
Jing Man also laughed and punched the man.
"Hey bro, I brought some friends."
After Jing Man finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Tang Bao and the others, and introduced to Jing Man the purpose of Tang Bao and the others' visit.
Tang Bao had already told Jing Man that he would hide his and others' true identities, saying only that he was Jing Man's friend, was interested in the sandalwood tree, and came here just to see it with his own eyes.
The man, Suker as Jing Man called him, put away the smile and excitement on his face after hearing what Jing Man said.
"Jing Man, we don't welcome outsiders here, please let them leave immediately!" Suker said.
"no!"
An old voice came from behind Suker.
I saw two tall bark men hurriedly coming over, carrying an old man who looked like a dead tree stump on bamboo poles.
Suker turned back to look at the old man, a hint of pleading on his face, and said, "Father, since they are friends of the Jing Man brothers, please let them go."
"Stupid! If he hadn't saved your life last time, I wouldn't have let him leave alive." The old man said angrily: "As expected, he brought so many outsiders here."
The old man's tone was full of regret.
Then, he added, "We can't let them get out alive today. Otherwise, what if they reveal the secrets here and attract bad guys?"
After saying that, he looked at everyone with murderous eyes.
He added, “We must kill them today!”
Erpan shouted.
"Hey, old man, it's not that serious, is it?" Er Pan said in disbelief, "We just came to see the white sandalwood tree. Do you really want to kill us to silence us?"
They even guessed that this was the Buddha's secluded place and wanted to worship the Buddha properly, but in the end, they didn't see the Buddha and were killed to silence him.
