Xiang left the highlands with a mission to ask for help, study, and even a request for rescue, but Tian Xian felt that she would not leave with an important flash knife after being given a vague mission, and there must be a specific deployment.

"Elder, I don't know, can you tell me something specific, such as ......?"

The elder smiled and waved his hand, "No, no, there are some things that I naturally can't say to a foreigner like you, after all, our Yuanshui tribe is a very important part of the Thundermark tribe, and we also keep a lot of secrets, and there are some things that are inconvenient to tell outsiders, I hope you can forgive me." ”

"Of course I understand, but if I can, I'd like to know more about Xiang's condition, you know, she's living a pretty good life on the desert border now, but before I met her, well...... It's a bit bad, indeed. ”

Tian Xian began to recount the scene when he met Xiang for the first time, talking about her hungry body shaking, about her risking her life for the wicked people who gave her a little food, and about how many times she was ashamed and wanted to apologize for her crimes......

In detail, Tian Xian told the elders all these things.

"Elder, although you may think that there is nothing wrong with what Xiang has done, the children of the Highlands must be cautious in their words and deeds when walking outside, and must not leave behind the reserve and dignity of the Highlanders, but you see, Xiang has never been to the human continent, and has never even been in contact with humans, she is very serious, very restrained, and to say a polite word, if I hadn't met her and let her be instructed by those wicked people in the streets, maybe she would have died now, or she might have been sold as a slave to a corner of the human continent. ”

The elder frowned deeply after listening to Tian Xian's words, obviously Tian Xian's words made him hesitate a little.

"Xiang, was her first life on the Human Continent so difficult?"

"Yes! I saw it with my own eyes!"

The elder sighed helplessly, "I knew this was the case, I should have waited a little longer, but I was still in too much of a hurry." Although Xiang is a very good fighter, she really doesn't know how to be flexible. ”

Tian Xian saw that the elder's tone seemed to be a little loose, and he immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Xiang not only doesn't know how to be flexible, but she is simply serious to the point of being dull, and she is always very depressed, and she is easy to drill the horns." In this case, even if we all look at her, maybe one day because of something, she feels that she has lost the face of the highlanders, and we can't predict what she will do when the time comes. ”

"Hmm......" the elder twisted his beard, frowning in thought.

Seeing that the elder began to hesitate again, this time Tian Xian did not urge again, but waited quietly, obviously. The elder's heart was shaking.

"Okay......" After a long time, the elder said helplessly, "I can reveal some things about incense to you, but you must keep it a secret, especially not to let other highlanders know. ”

Tianxian thought that the elder said that he would keep it a secret from others, but he didn't expect that he emphasized that he would not let other highlanders know, why is this?

"Elder. What do you mean?"

The elder pondered for a while, his face embarrassed. But in the end, he said, "You know, the patriarch has ordered you to be expelled, but I still choose to keep you, do you know why?"

"This ......" Tianxian is indeed not very clear.

"Because you don't look like a bad person. ”

This reason is simply irritating to the day, could it be said that disobeying the patriarch's order is because his appearance can still be regarded as the eye of this elder?

The elder smiled at Tianxian's stunned expression. "Of course, not all because of this, but also because of a little skepticism. ”

"Doubtful?"

"Because the patriarch's order is strange, it seems to contain some anger. So I wondered why the patriarch was like this. There was a pause. The elder touched his beard and looked at Tian Xian meaningfully, "To put it simply, it is to suspect and want to find out at the same time. ”

Doubtful?Tian Xian didn't know how to respond to the elder's words, and the elder's words faintly contained something uncomfortable.

Leaning back in his chair completely, the elder took a breath, "Young man, this is the same truth as what I said to you before, our Thundermark tribe, and even the entire highland tribes, large and small, are faintly divided into two factions, one faction advocates that no matter what happens, as long as you stick to it, the other faction wants to actively find a way to solve the current abnormality. ”

"The patriarch chose to stick to it, and we chose another path, although it was all for the Thundermark tribe, for the highland clan to be strong and multiply forever, but after all, we have embarked on different paths, how many ...... There will be some estrangement, so it is not the first time to disobey the orders of the patriarch in this way. ”

Tian Xian faintly realized that there seemed to be a sharp contradiction in the elder's fluttering words, when he mentioned in front of the Thundermark Patriarch that he wanted to find incense, he was obviously displeased, and he didn't seem to have a good impression of his compatriots on this mountain range in his words.

"So......" the elder brought the topic back, "Xiang's departure is actually a secret! The patriarch knows about her, but we tacitly never mention it, and after you know some inside information, don't spread it around." ”

"Elder, rest assured, Tian Xian understands what you mean. ”

The elder nodded, and after communicating with Tian Xian around the corner, his face was a little lighter.

"Actually, I shouldn't have talked about this to a foreigner like you, but incense is indeed a very important part, and we actually sent many people to the human continent before incense, but unfortunately...... Nothing has been heard from them. ”

Tian Xian's eyes moved slightly, trying not to surprise himself, "Before the incense, many people have been dispatched?"

"Yes. The elder nodded slowly, "They are all excellent warriors, but unfortunately once they leave the highlands, no one comes back, the first warrior to leave has been gone for ten years, but ......"

Ten years! Tian Xian couldn't even hide his surprised expression, the Yuanshui tribe had already begun to send their warriors to the human continent ten years ago?

The elder seemed to see through Tian Xian's thoughts, "Ten years ago, the first warrior to leave the Holy Mountain was my son. ”

Tian Xian heard this, and his heart shook slightly.

"He took all of us with him, with my hopes, and then a month, two months...... One year, two years. He never came back again, to this day. ”

With a wry smile, the elder sighed, "Presumably...... He had already died somewhere, but it was a pity that he left the highlands for his people, but there was no way to return to his hometown for burial, as well as the warriors who left later. They should all have died on the human continent. ”

Although he knew that the chance was slim, Tian Xian looked at the elder sadly, and couldn't help but say: "If there is no news, it can't be determined that he is dead, maybe ......"

The elder shook his head, "Originally, I used to think like this, but when you told me about how she looked when I met Xiang, I probably understood. ”

Tianxian suddenly stopped talking.

"We highlanders have lived in this cold highland for generations, and few of our people will leave this land. When I went to the warm human continent, my father once told me that human beings are more dangerous than the beasts of the highlands, and I didn't believe it at the time, but in the past ten years, I have understood this sentence very deeply. ”

The elder's words made Tian Xian feel a little ashamed, as a human being in the Human Continent, Tian Xian really couldn't say a word.

"However...... "Elder changed his words, "this may not be to blame the humans of the Human Continent. We are to blame, the highlanders are brave and good at fighting. But we don't value stratagem, and although we don't care about intrigues, I think we reject a lot of precious wisdom when we reject them altogether, which makes us unable to face the humans on the human continent, and my son is like that. The same is true of incense now. ”

"So......" Elder's gaze fell on Tian Xian's face, staring at him deeply, "I plan to make some more changes. ”

Listening to the elder's words, Tian Xian felt slightly depressed, and finally let out a sigh at this time. "How are you going to change that?"

"Of course it's from the incense, otherwise I wouldn't be talking so much to you here. ”

Tian Xian couldn't help but smile.

The elder continued, "First of all, I would like to tell you something that will make Xiang believe that you have seen me, and that I have asked you to help her. ”

Tian Xian immediately pricked up his ears, "Elder, please speak." ”

"When Xiang left here, she took not only the flash wave knife with her, but also a treasure that could only be found on the high ground. ”

"Treasure!?" Tianxian's eyes suddenly lit up.

"It was a black horn, hard in texture, and nothing was found to destroy it yet...... What's wrong with you?" the elder was shocked to find that Tian Xian stood up violently.

Tian Xian stared at the elder with wide eyes, "You...... You say, incense she has the horns of the snow ray!?"

The elder was surprised, "You know it's the horn of the snow ray, have you seen those things already?"

Tian Xian has not only seen it, but also witnessed how Wuya of the Siberg tribe gave birth to black horns and became as violent as Snow Ray.

That horn is a condensation of mad violence, but it is a very dangerous thing!

Tian Xian tried his best to keep his composure, "Elder, you tell me, how many incense sticks are there, how big are they, and where do you put them?"

Seeing that Tianxian was so solemn, the elder couldn't help but be surprised, "Xiang only brought one, I personally handed it over, and she wore it around her neck, what's wrong?

Wear it around your neck?

Tian Xian quickly reacted to the memory fragment of Xiang in his mind, Xiang usually wears a cape-like caftan with men's clothing inside, and if there is something hanging on his chest, he will find it at a glance.

Tian Xian didn't remember what ornaments were on Xiang's chest at all!

Recalling carefully, Tian Xian remembered that he had also healed her injuries when he first saw Xiang, but he seemed to have seen something like a rope on her neck, but he didn't care at the time, could it be that black horn?

And if it's an ornament to wear around the neck, then it's definitely not too big!

"Elder, how big is that horn!?"

"Well, it's only half a finger long. ”

Hearing this, Tian Xian breathed a sigh of relief, although there is no full evidence to prove what kind of problem the black horn has, but it is definitely not a good thing, the power of the small horn condensation is naturally smaller, and the impact on people is weaker, if it is just such a small horn, and the incense has not been carried with him for too long, maybe the impact on the incense is not great.

"It was left behind by the cubs of a giant snow mandrill, and the juvenile snow rays did not have horns, and those snow rays may be particularly strong because they are the cubs of the leader. ”

The elder's words made Tian Xian's heart fall into the deep valley at once.

"That's the horn of the cub of the giant leader of the Snow Mandrill!?" Tianxian almost cried.

"Yes, what's wrong with that? Do you know the secret of the Black Horn?"

Tian Xian didn't care about the other Ling now, and slapped the small cage on his waist hard. "Gollum! Come out!!"

Gollum lazily poked his head out of it, "What are you doing?

The elder couldn't help but be stunned when he saw a fat spirit kite coming out of the small cage in Tianxian, and was even more startled when Gollum spoke, "This...... What is this?"

Tian Xian didn't have the time to pay attention to the elder now, but quickly said to Gollum, "You go back to the desert for me now, just say that I am talking to the elder in the Source Water Tribe right now." The elder demanded that Xiang immediately stop the transformation of the ice water in the cold ice field, and not touch the flash wave knife again, and not touch the black horn she brought on her body again! Now, go back to me and have a good rest, and don't use any more strength before I go back, and rest honestly! Hear me clearly?"

"Okay, let's do it right away!"

"Wait!" Tian Xian grabbed Gollum's neck, "Also! Tell Sister Luna to look at Xiang, and say that it is a matter of human life, and tell her to do nothing." You should also watch the incense carefully, don't let her get excited, and don't allow her to use any power! The flash knife will be placed with her for the time being! The black horn will be buried in the depths of the desert for me temporarily, and I will mark it well, and don't lose it!"

"Also...... Anything else?" asked Gollum with difficulty.

"No!" Tian Xian let go of his neck, "Go back as quickly as possible!"

Gollum finally took a breath, "I thought I was going to be killed...... Don't take it as an example!"

After saying that, Gollum burrowed back into the cage and stopped moving.

The elder looked at this qiē in astonishment. "You...... You just now?"

Tian Xian turned his head and said solemnly: "I'm very sorry to disturb you." But I don't have much time to explain now, all I can say is that the black horn is not a good thing, and if anyone still has it, please ask to throw it away immediately!"

"The Black Horn...... Questions?" the elder's face also turned stern.

"I don't have any proof, but I've seen with my own eyes what that black horn is! it's the crystallization of an ominous power that gives people great power. But it's also maddening!"

"How can such a thing happen!?"

Tianxian paced back and forth a little anxiously: "Now I have to go back immediately, Xiang's condition may not only be a problem with her personality, but also affected by Black Horn, I must go back immediately to check on her situation, so now if you have anything to say to me." Let's put it all bluntly. ”

The elder frowned in contemplation, but this time it only took less than a minute to speak, "Young man, I believe in you, although we highlanders are not as good at observing words and colors as the humans of the human continent, but we can distinguish our kind, loyal and courageous, with good intentions and not hypocrisy, I believe that you are a friend of our highlanders, I believe that you can help Xiang!"

"Thank you, Elder, but don't say that, now I want to ......"

"I understand!" the elder also stood up, "If there is really a problem with that black horn, I don't have time to chat with you here, about Xiang, I can tell you one thing, she has something to do when she goes to the human continent this time, this matter I secretly explained to her alone, this is enough for you to gain Xiang's trust, and the rest of it...... I'll leave it to you. ”

"Thank you, Elder!" Tian Xian bowed deeply.

The elder whispered a few words to Tian Xian, and after listening carefully, Tian Xian couldn't help but show surprise on his face, "Xiang...... How are you going to do this?"

The elder nodded solemnly, "That's why she's different from her previous clansmen and has to carry a flash blade." ”

Tian Xian's expression became a little strange, "If you say that, she ......"

The elder smiled and patted Tian Xian's shoulder gently, "Young man, I'm sure you want to understand this, go ahead...... I still have a lot of things to do. ”

Tianxian was half-sent out of the village of the Yuanshui tribe, and it was none other than Ke Mu who sent Tianxian.

Ke Mu looked nervous and excited, "What did the elder say to you?

Shoveling away the thick snow, Ke Mu dug a large hole in a place where the snow was relatively thin, revealing the gray sky above his head, and the blizzard had not completely stopped.

Tian Xian frowned, what the elder said just now made Tian Xian very surprised, and even a little reluctant to believe it, but presumably the elder's words were true. But if it's true......

Shaking his head, Tian Xian threw the annoying thoughts out of his mind, looked at Ke Mu, who was looking at him, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the elder didn't suspect it, and it seems that he didn't notice that we had been to the top of the mountain at all." Rest assured. ”

Ke Mu breathed a sigh of relief, "Great, if the elders find out, it will be miserable!"

Saying that, Ke Mu scratched his head a little embarrassed, "Later, you brought me back, I was already at home when I woke up, I was really ashamed to say it, I actually fainted first." Actually, don't mind, it's good for us to see it, and there's nothing we can do if we don't get our wish. ”

Tianxian was slightly stunned, and then he realized that Ke Mu didn't seem to expect that he could be recognized by the silver water spirit.

It's not surprising that he is a foreigner, and this Silver Water Spirit is the patron saint of the Source Water Tribe here, so no one should think that he can be recognized by the Silver Water Spirit. At that time, Ke Mu offered to try it first, perhaps believing that it was impossible for foreigners to be recognized.

That's the case. That's fine.

Tianxian nodded with a little regret, "Just do your best, there's nothing to regret." ”

Ke Mu smiled heartily, "Indeed, it's just...... It's a bit of a pity, but in the end I still can't do anything for Xiang. ”

looked at Ke Mu's somewhat helpless appearance. Tian Xian's heart suddenly flashed a thought that surprised him a little.

"Ke Mu, do you want to ...... Going to see Xiang?"

Ke Mu was stunned for a moment, "See...... See her?" Ke Mu couldn't help but look at the sky, then at Tianxian, and smiled helplessly. "Don't be sarcastic about me, I think in the human continent, I can't see her, I can't help her, and I have to ask you to help me more in the future. ”

"No!" Tian Xian grabbed Ke Mu's shoulders and said loudly, "I'm asking you! Do you want to see Xiang! If you want, I'll take you out of here! Take you to the Human Continent, to Xiang's side!"

Ke Mu couldn't believe it, looking at Tianxian, "What did you say?"

Tian Xian raised his voice again, "What I said is true! Ke Mu! As long as you nod! I'll take you away now! We can see Xiang in a few days! Would you like to! Or not!?"

Ke Mu looked at Tianxian in a daze, "Let's go, leave here, can you...... But I haven't told the elders about this yet, how can I leave like this? Moreover, and I am not qualified, I must, I must further cultivate, otherwise I ......"

"Ke Mu!" Tian Xian stared at him, "Xiang is in danger now, maybe only you can save her!I'll ask you!Will you go!or not!?"

"Danger?" Ke Mu's eyes shrank suddenly.

Tian Xian stared at him and didn't say a word.

Ke Mu was a little hairy when he looked at Tianxian, his lips trembled a few times, and he couldn't help but look away, and looked back at the snow cave, his eyes were full of struggle.

In just a few seconds, Ke Mu's breathing became rapid, and beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead.

"I ...... I ......" The voice was a little difficult, Ke Mu looked back at Tianxian again, swallowed his saliva, and suddenly said loudly: "I'll go!"

"Hold my hand!"

......

Although it has only been two days since Tianxian left, Ling has already begun to feel irritable, the Tianyan clan has resettled in the Hangu Tower, it can be said that it is in ruins, this ancient tower that has been abandoned for many years needs to be cleaned up almost everywhere, everyone is busy these days, and Grandma Kong and Eve are also helping around.

Only Ling is the most idle one.

Afraid of the sun, she couldn't appear in the bright rooms of her people, she stayed almost always on the top floor of the tower, the sun always left a shadow on one side of this floor, she stayed there quietly, looking at the disgusting light on the other side, occasionally using the "clairvoyance" function to look elsewhere, but now there were only dark clouds nearby.

On the days when he was not around, Ling finally felt bored.

"Why hasn't this bastard come back, is he dying down there? Do you want to collect the body......? But it doesn't seem to be very necessary...... "Hiding in the shadows, the most Ling has done in the past two days is to mumble these things to himself.

Suddenly, in the clouds below, a red light broke through the clouds and rose.

"It's him!" Ling couldn't help but jump in surprise when he saw the light.

"Huh, two people?" Ling immediately frowned. (To be continued......)
