Chapter 304: The Slave Tribe
Wei Youqing jumped up, hoping that the two attackers could collide together, but unfortunately it backfired, the first outcropping copper bell chased after him like a ghost, Wei Youqing's left hand silver needle trick was released, he saw two silver needles pierced into the copper bell with his own eyes, let go of his heart, and wanted to use the vine in his right hand to sweep the copper bell that followed behind.

Who knew that the copper bell that had hit the silver needle did not react, and continued to bully him, stretching out his claws that shone with purple light, and grabbed Wei Youqing's face.
Wei Youqing was frightened, dodged sideways, raised a dagger and stabbed the neck of the copper bell, he heard the sound of the dagger hitting the flesh and bones, pulled out the dagger, and gave way slightly to prevent blood from splashing on his body.
But he didn't wait for the blood to splash, but his right hand was grabbed by the claws of the copper bell, and a burst of numbness spread all over the body along his right hand, Wei Youqing suddenly lost consciousness all over his body, and planted head down from the tree, the two copper bells reached out to grab together, and the incense bracelet on Wei Youqing's wrist flashed white, and the two copper bells were bounced out.
Wei Youqing's whole body also quickly regained consciousness, he stretched out his foot to hook a branch on the trunk of the tree, stagnating the falling body, the light of the incense bracelet also dimmed, and the sound of trembling around sounded, seeing more copper bells rushing towards him.
Wei Youqing saw that there was no blood in this copper bell, and was shocked that these things were not human at all, and saw that they were afraid of light, so he didn't have time to think about it, and quickly urged the spring word trick, and the woods were full of golden light.
The wailing "squeak" sound sounded everywhere, and through the bright light, Wei Youqing was horrified to find that this was a group of things that looked like monkeys, but they had no tails, and their whole bodies were black and dry, like air-dried meat that had been left for a long time. Under the golden light, the red light in the eyes of these things also dimmed, and some of them were smaller and weaker, and green smoke began to rise from their bodies.
Wei Youqing was pleasantly surprised to find that the warm qi was pouring out from the dantian, and he himself was like a Buddha statue plated with a golden body, emitting shimmering golden light in all directions.
After a while, Wei Youqing saw that the red light around him was extinguished, and he accepted the exercises, he knew that he had not gone deep into the interior of these cannibals, but since he knew that these cannibals were not people, he held his own profound exercises, and he became bolder, and climbed the tree again, inspecting the grass nests on the trees as he walked.
Most of the grass nests were destroyed, or destroyed by the cannibals themselves when they went berserk. There were many cannibal corpses hanging from the trees, which looked no different from normal corpses, and their fur was also scorched.
Wei Youqing flipped over a cannibal, this one didn't look like a monkey, but like a fox, the same tail was also gone, and the inside of the body had been completely scorched, becoming an empty shell. The red light in its eyes went out, leaving only a grayish-white shell.
Wei Youqing once heard many people tell the legend of cannibals, saying that these people walk day and night, and many merchant ships that encounter wind and rain take shelter here, and do not dare to spend the night. The merchant ships talked about the color change of the Pearl Island, and there were rumors that the natives were eating people, but it turned out that such a group of ghosts were making trouble.
A copper bell appeared in front of him again, but this time it seemed to be in a queue, as if they were lining up to welcome Wei Youqing's arrival. Wei Youqing didn't dare to slack off, and urged the spring word trick again.
These copper bells seemed to be begged for, and more and more copper bells ran towards this side, and they "squeaked", as if they were welcoming the sun and rain, allowing the golden light to burn them into an empty shell. In the dark, there seemed to be an ethereal laughter, and wisps of green smoke dispersed from these copper bells.
After all the copper bells dimmed, and there were no more copper bells gathering in this direction, Wei Youqing collected the exercises and checked the scene in front of him again.
It was similar to the scene I saw just now, except that this time it was no longer just monkeys and foxes, but also wolves, but they were very small, not like the wolves Wei Youqing had seen before. There are more monkeys, and in this pile of monkeys, there are occasionally a few foxes.
But whether it is a monkey or a fox, it looks like it has been dead for a long time, the fur is dry, and the flesh under the fur is like an old tree stump that has been dried by the air, and it is clearly a dried corpse.
Wei Youqing saw that it was difficult to see so many dried corpses. He didn't want these dried corpses to be exposed to the wilderness, but he didn't have time to dig a pit here and bury the corpses. I thought it would be better to wait until everything was done and bring more people back.
Leaving this forest where the cannibals were entrenched, after walking for a short time, the sky gradually brightened, Wei Youqing actually met the slave Han's mother's family, and the leader of the slave tribe was surprised to see that he was a child who actually passed through the cannibal forest at night. Later, when he heard that he was a priest and the eldest son of a holy woman, he showed an expression of "so it is", and seeing that he was thirsty and hungry, he enthusiastically dragged him into the tribe and invited him to eat roast venison.
The tribe of Nuhan is not a beast tamer, they are the closest tribe to the western coast. After passing through the small cannibal forest, you can go to the western dock and exchange food, cloth, and other items with passing merchant ships for medicinal herbs, forest specialties, and woven goods.
The food, utensils, and other things in the temple were all exchanged by the slave tribes. Because of this, the slave tribe lived in abundance, they did not lack food, and the men went hunting only to obtain meat, not their main food.
The leader of the slave tribe is Nuhan's half-sister, named Nu Die, who was born before Nuhan's mother met Nuhan's father, who died a few years ago.
"Aren't you scared when you're so close to cannibals? Will they infest your tribe? ”
"Cannibals are actually ghosts, as long as they leave there before dark, they are under the spell of the gods, and they dare not leave that forest."
Wei Youqing didn't seem to be afraid when he heard Nu Die talk about cannibals so casually, so he said happily: "Since you are not afraid of that forest, you can help me do something tomorrow." ”
Wei Youqing told him about what he encountered in the cannibal forest, of course, he didn't talk about his own cultivation, but said that this was a natural supernatural power.
Sure enough, Nu Die showed a look of adoration on his face, and he no longer regarded Wei Youqing as an eight-year-old child, and came up with an idea: "Priest, there have never been living creatures in that forest except for cannibals and those forests, since those cannibals have been collected by the priests, it is better to burn them down and clean them." ”
Wei Youqing didn't think so in his heart, this dense forest is so terrifying, it is better to burn it to make people feel at ease. "It's just," Wei Youqing expressed his worries, "Nu Die, I also want to burn that forest, but I'm afraid that the fire will burn here." ”
Nu Die smiled: "No, Nu Die said, that forest was spelled by God, but it is not just casually said, our tribe and they are neighbors, I will watch the movement there every night, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, the forest is quiet and unmoving." ”
