Chapter 26: You Clan and Dark Thorn
Chapter 26: The Eye Clan and the Nether Thorns
After walking along the way, Xiang Yang realized the vastness of the underground world, and it took a day to spend this canyon alone.
After leaving this canyon, it was a wide valley with many strange-looking trees growing inside. No matter what species, the leaves were very fat, but they were not tall, and the highest one was only a few feet away.
The valley is rich in water, and streams divide the entire valley into small grids. The dark land is soft and the dark and shiny soil is extremely fertile. There are clusters of wild grass emitting blue light and aquatic plants growing in the stream.
There is a low hill in the middle of the valley. At the top of the hill, there is a small crater. The hot and red magma is constantly rolling down. The high temperature evaporates the water flow beside it into pieces of mist. After it spreads, it is shining by the blue light emitted by the wild grass, as if the entire valley is covered with a layer of glowing blue yarn, as beautiful as a dream.
After walking together for so long, Youhuo and Yougang beside you are two guys who like to talk. Without Xiang Yang's intentional guidance, they roughly figured out the situation in the underground world.
Even the natives, they didn't know how big the underground world was. They only knew that several warriors had walked Baixi in all directions. In the end, they encountered a bottomless abyss and could only return. However, when they were in the abyss, they should still have room for broad abyss.
Xi is the method of timing the underground world. Here, there are surging underground rivers and streams. The natives time according to the time of the water surface fluctuation, and at one time it is a Xi. According to Xiang Yang's own judgment, it should be about the same length as a day in the outside world.
In this underground world, there are dozens of ethnic groups of all sizes, and the You clan is the largest one. Therefore, the king of the You clan is the king of the underground world.
Of course, these ethnic groups are not large in size. Even the You clan has only a population of about 10,000, and the other small clans are as numerous as hundreds to dozens, which is estimated to be less than 10,000.
This is not because of the poor underground supplies. On the contrary, the climate here is warm and humid, and there are many things to eat. For example, the plants in the water are mostly good ingredients, and there are endless fish in the underground river, so there are no need to worry about food scarcity at all.
However, in this underground world, the indigenous people have natural enemies.
Here, there will be a Daxi every nine hundred xis. During the Daxi period, the water level of the Daxi River will drop to half of its usual level, and at this time, a monster will attack.
It was a flying strange snake, with dragon head, snake body and bat wings, extremely huge. The natives called it Ming Thorn.
In the classics of the You Clan, Mingtao appeared in this underground world at the same time as the You Clan.
Logically speaking, with the strength of the natives, it is impossible to stop the Ming Ting from hunting them, but it is strange that every time the Ming Ting comes, it will not kill them all. Instead, it will leave after eating a certain number of humans. Usually, it does not know where it stays, and it will not appear again until the next big tide.
Over time, the natives became accustomed to this kind of life. Whenever the Nether Thorns attacked, they were too lazy to resist. Some elderly and weak even took the initiative to die, so as to protect the life of the middle-aged people in the tribe. In a vague way, they became the food for Nether Thorns to be kept in captivity.
In addition to the Nether Spike, there are many strange things in this underground world, such as the two fish caught, which are obviously the same. One is fine after eating, but the other may be highly poisonous. The same is true for those seemingly ordinary aquatic plants, and people will die from time to time.
Of course, this proportion is not high, only one in tens of thousands is possible, but it is terrible that the god of death follows you from time to time? Often, indigenous people can't bear this pressure and commit suicide.
Various factors have led to the fact that humans have not reproduced rapidly in this underground world. It has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is only this population.
It is precisely because of this that almost all normal people are very frivolous about life and death. If they were put outside, no matter how vicious the desperate people were, they would not be as crazy as they were who did not care about life at all.
The You clan people do not know how to cultivate immortals, but everyone is a master of body refining. With Xiang Yang's eyes, almost everyone has a silver body level or above, even the same as the Your Highness who is about the same age as him.
His Highness is named Youtan, who is the only daughter of Yousheng, the king of Yousheng, a while ago, the king of the clan was suddenly poisoned. Although it was not fatal, he became a madman. The high priest in the clan said that this was a madness and could only be cured by taking the blood of a bird called Wenyu. Youtan took the people out to search, but unexpectedly, Wenyu was not found, but encountered a god...
It took another day for a group of people to cross the valley and enter a canyon. After walking forward for dozens of miles, a river dozens of feet wide cut the canyon into two sections. There is a natural stone bridge above the river, several meters wide. After passing the stone bridge, there is a bamboo-shaped stone forest. The You tribe's tribe is behind the stone forest.
It was a stone house made of stones, built along the cliffs on both sides. In the center, outside the tallest stone house, there were a group of natives standing inside. They were all looking worriedly inside. There were waves of roars coming from the stone house, which were completely different from human voices, but as if there was a wild beast roaring inside.
"Dam, how is my dad going! Hum?" As soon as he heard the voice, Youtan ran over hurriedly. An old woman with white hair looked sideways, touched her head with a doting face, and then sighed: "The madness of the clan king is getting worse and worse. Well, Tan'er, have you found Wen Yu?"
Youtan shook his head: "No, Youhuo said that he had seen it in Qianzhang Pond, but when we went there, we only led to a monster. Youyi and Youqi were eaten by the monster..."
Dam sighed: "Oh, no one has seen Wenyu for many years, so it's normal that he can't find it... But it seems that the clan king's illness cannot be delayed..."
Youtan held her hand and shook it, then pointed in the direction of Xiang Yang: "Dam, I have found a fairy brother! He can help his father treat his illness!"
"God?" Dam turned around and the wrinkles on his face twitched strangely, his face was full of surprise. Xiang Yang was wearing a skin made of animal skin. It turned out that he had made an animal skin vest and was washed away in the dark river. At this time, he was shirtless like the natives. The only difference was that the skin's pants were longer than them. How could they look like a fairy?
"Dam, the fairy brother is so powerful. Such a big monster was slaughtered by him in a few strokes. That big one..." Youtan tried hard to stretch out his arms and gesture, but it seemed that he could not describe the size of the monster no matter what, and he was a little depressed.
"Is that?" Like Manguji, Dam also held a bone stick in his hand, but there was no fluctuation of energy. It was obviously not a magic weapon. It was just that the bone stick was very special, emitting a dark green color, which looked like it was made of some gem. She walked slowly towards Xiang Yang with her bone stick, making a strange sound in her mouth, and her eyes were like the bone stick, emitting a green light.
