Chapter 392: Heavenly Eye
"Stop!"
When Tian Xian and Wu Ya walked down the mountain peak and wanted to get closer to the defense line in front of them, two people came out from behind a huge rock.
The Highlanders recognized the identities of these two people at a glance, not only because only the Highlanders lived in this land, but because their eyes, although guarded, were very pure.
"I am the Tianxian of the Moyun Mountains, and I have something to ask to see the patriarch of the Thundermark Clan, this is my friend and guide, Wuya of the Xibel tribe. Tian Xian didn't wait for the other party to ask, and answered first.
The two highlanders looked at Tian Xian very vigilantly, and looked very careful, after all, Tian Xian was thinly dressed, which would be fatal on the high ground, and they were dressed strangely, carrying a large long cloth bag on their backs, and carrying a giant sword of amazing size.
However, they immediately smiled when they saw Wuya, "Friends of the Xibelu tribe, welcome, you seem to be ...... She was the daughter of Sibecor. ”
Wu Ya stepped forward happily, "Yes, I am Wu Ya, the youngest daughter of the Xibo tribe, this is my friend Tianxian brother, he saved all our clansmen from the Xue Xiao group, so I took him here to meet the patriarch as a guide. ”
Tianxian couldn't help but look at Wuya, it turned out to be ...... Highlanders also tell white lies.
The two highlanders of the Thundermark tribe suddenly lost their vigilance against Tianxian, and there was a little more admiration in their eyes, "Defeat the Snow Ray Group, it's amazing! Those damn things have been harassing us, if we didn't have to stay here and watch those even more hateful Sky Eye Clan, I really want to cut off the heads of those Snow Rays right away!"
Tian smiled and hid the cloth bag behind him a little.
"Come on, a friend of the foreign race, since you are a friend of the Xiboluo tribe, you are naturally our friend, haha. If it weren't for those Tianyan bastards, according to tradition, we should celebrate and welcome our friends from afar. ”
The highlanders are enthusiastic and arrogant, and Tianxian feels it again, but the hatred for the Tianyan clan is also obvious between the lines, and the Thundermark tribe seems to have a deeper hatred for the Tianyan clan than the Xibo tribe.
Two highlanders were responsible for guarding the mountain road. One of them was left to continue guarding the town, and the other returned to the village with Tian Xian and Uya.
Behind the line of defense before the ice tsunami were the large and small settlements of the Thundermark tribe, which were usually connected in groups of three or five, or several large families, or good and close-knit households, scattered together to form one village after another.
Obviously, they weren't afraid of large beasts attacking the village.
When the highlander took Tian Xian and Uya to a village of the Thundermark tribe. The whole village gathered excitedly, and it was much more densely populated than in Xiboku, and there seemed to be thousands of people in this village alone.
In each of these villages, an elderly highlander was appointed as a steward, and Tian Xian and Uya were brought to the steward, and were greeted with great enthusiasm.
"It's Wuya from Xibekobu!Hey!!Marry me!!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, and then there was a burst of laughter. Wu Ya was ashamed and angry, and could only stare hard at the surroundings.
"That little brother. Stay, the women of the Thundermark clan won't let you down!"
"Hahaha, stupid, he's still a kid!"
"You can walk around the cold plains in such thin clothes at this age!
"Do you think his sword is not simple, the last time you borrowed my sword and didn't change it, I can remember it!"
"I look at this kid well, my sister is just about to get married!"
"I think my sister is more suitable......"
Tian Xian listened to the chaotic sounds around him. Secretly smiling bitterly, the self-assertive energy of these people of the Thundermark tribe is exactly the same as that of the Xiboluo tribe.
"Don't be surprised. The steward smiled, his face very kind and peaceful, "The outskirts of the highlands are often frequented by foreigners, but when they come to us, they are very rare. They are a little overexcited, and the guests just ignore them. ”
Took Tianxian and Wuya to their house to sit for a while, and after learning that Tianxian and Wuya wanted to see the patriarch, the steward calculated a little, and said happily: "You guys are lucky, the patriarch has been patrolling back and forth on the defense line, according to the time, tomorrow just arrived here, you live first, and you can see him tomorrow." ”
Tianxian and Wuya are naturally very lucky, this northern defense line does not know how long, the Thundermark tribe lives on the defense line, and the residence is very scattered, and they can find the patriarch at once, but they are so lucky.
"Mr. Steward, it's still early today, can we go and see the defensive line?" Tianxian wanted to know what the highlanders' defensive line was like, but if he looked at it from a distance, he would definitely not be able to see it clearly in person.
"If the guest insists, it is naturally possible, but outside the defense line is the realm of the Far North, which is very dangerous, in case something happens, or even if someone from the Tianyan clan appears, then the guest must not make his own decisions, listen to our arrangement!"
Tian Xian thought to himself, how could it be so coincidental, but I would bump into a Tianyan clan, and nodded immediately, "Of course!"
Wu Ya naturally did not lag behind, and immediately said that she wanted to go with Tianxian, and the steward also agreed.
The northern defense line built by the Thundermark tribe is a miraculous defensive line.
There is only one main material for this defensive line - ice!
In the bitter cold near the Far North, where it was impossible to build a barrier or excavate a stone mine, the mighty Thundermark tribe thought of a solution that no one dared to think of.
Based on the solid steel and wood of the cold plains, the lowest bracket is built, and then the skeleton of the defense line is extended upwards little by little with the cold ice as the medium, and the deep foundation is extended downward. Yiqiē relies on the wind, snow, frost and powerful stigmata power of the Thundermark tribe of nature.
There is no support under the skeleton of many structures on the defense line, but the span is extremely large, and it is completely connected by the ice crystals that are instantly condensed by the power of the stigma, and there are countless similar situations, in this extremely cold place, the Thundermark tribe has built this frost defense line with the most common ice and snow, which is not much long, up to more than ten meters, almost a Great Wall of ice and snow.
The line of defense was wrapped with planks. Hide out the glare of ice and snow, and don't let the people on the line feel too cold. From the outside, this extremely long, very high and imposing line of defense seems to be made of wood.
Led by the steward, Tianxian and Wuya sightseeing boarded this ice and snow defense line.
Standing at the top of this line of defense and looking north, Tianxian was instantly shocked by an inexplicable force, and his heart was slightly rippling. It was as if an invisible wind was blowing, pressing the skin of the person tight.
In the north, there is endless ice and snow!
The ground, mountain peaks, and the occasional black steel forest can be seen on the high ground, while to the north of this line of defense, there is only snow and ice......
Look at the tsunami that roared and then was suddenly frozen by some amazing force, and on the surface of this icy tsunami. Now it's a white snowfield - nothing.
The silent white, as if it is pale at the end of the world, makes people feel an inexplicable loneliness. But in this unchanging paleness, there seems to be some kind of mystery and danger hidden, and Tian Xian can feel this endless ice field, which seems to have an incomparable attraction to himself.
"It's spectacular!"
It was the first time that Uya had come to the Thundermark Clan's defensive line, looking at the overwhelming ice tsunami. The unchanging snow and ice that almost filled the entire world was a little shocking.
Tian Xian nodded. "It's hard to believe that there is a strange human race living in such a barren land. ”
The steward laughed, "Indeed, the Far North is not a place where living beings should be stored at all, those Tianyan clans. Maybe not human. ”
Wu Ya was stunned for a moment, and Tianxian frowned slightly.
The steward was unaware of this, and continued, "Every time they appear, it causes us a lot of trouble, and the originally quiet qiē becomes chaotic, and every time they come here. We're all going to lose some of our people, and these Celestial Eyes must be a cursed race by the gods. ”
"Every time they show up...... Will the Highlanders disappear?"
The steward smiled, "It seems that this girl Wuya has already sued you, yes! Every time those Tianyan clans appear, we will have clansmen disappear inexplicably, in the beginning this defense line was still guarded by all the highland tribes, but later because of the existence of these guys, we let the other tribes temporarily retreat, after all, we have the largest population, and some things we have to do by ourselves." ”
Tianxian has a lot of respect for this, but every time the Tianyan clan appears, some highlanders disappear, what's going on? Could it be that the Tianyan clan has to come here from afar to let the ethereal spirit devour a few highlanders?
It also seems a bit of a no-brainer.
"But don't worry too much. The steward frowned when he saw Tianxian, thinking that Tianxian was worried, and said, "Although the Tianyan clan is hateful, fortunately, their population is very sparse, and it seems that the number of clansmen has been decreasing sharply over the years, in short, the number is very small, and this line of defense is extremely long, so the chance of meeting them is actually very small." ”
Looking back at the village behind the defensive line, the steward said with relief: "Although the Thundermark Clan is stationed here voluntarily, I really hope that my clansmen will not encounter those Tianyan Clan, but fortunately, their number is very scarce, so our normal life is much better." ”
Tian Xian looked at the extreme north of the defense line, and nodded secretly to the words of the steward, he was right, in this place, maybe he would never encounter the Tianyan clan in his life, and there were no beast attacks here, just from this aspect, it was better than the Xibo tribe of Lao Bo Luo who had to be ready to face Xue Xiao at all times.
However, Tian Xian was even more puzzled in his heart, is the Tianyan clan really so terrifying? Could it be that he has always misunderstood, snow is just an outlier in the Tianyan clan, in fact, the Tianyan clan is very dangerous, so they will be driven to this kind of place to survive.
Until dark, Tianxian and Wuya were wandering around this line of defense, and they could see that the steward was right, although this was a depressing place, but the highlanders in charge of guarding it were relatively relaxed, after all, they had not seen the Tianyan clan since they came here.
"Guest, it's getting dark, go back, rest well today, and you'll see the patriarch tomorrow." The steward took Tianxian and Wuya for an afternoon, and he was a little tired as he got older.
Tianxian and Wuya also saw enough, and no one objected at the moment, and followed the steward to go back.
Suddenly, a string of silver bell-like laughter reached Tianxian's ears.
Tian Xian is a fierce spirit! The people stationed here are all men, Wu Ya didn't make a sound at all beside him, where did the woman laugh from? Quickly looking around, Tian Xian unfolded his counter-heart trick and quickly searched for the surrounding breath, but found nothing.
Seeing that Tianxian suddenly stopped, Wu Ya was very puzzled, "Brother Tianxian, let's go!"
Tian Xian didn't move, his eyes searched the surroundings solemnly, the space on this defense line was limited, the people around him were unobstructed, and no one laughed at all.
Suddenly, Tianxian realized something, and couldn't help but feel a slight tingling in his scalp, and raised his head to look at the ice field in the distance that had begun to disappear into the night.
The wind was howling, and a barely visible figure stood alone, standing on the white ice field, seeming to ...... I'm looking over here!
Sky Eye Clan!
Tian Xian didn't know whether to say that his luck was good enough or bad to a certain extent, but Tian Xian seemed to feel that the other party's eyes were staring at him from a long distance.
"Brother Tianxian?" Seeing that Tianxian was stunned, Wuya came back and affectionately grabbed Tianxian's arm, "Let's go! I'm hungry!"
Tian Xian stared at the cold ice field opposite, it was dark now, the figure was very slender, it should be a young girl, she was snow-white from head to toe, and even her hair seemed to be snow-white, but at this time, Tian Xian couldn't really see it.
"Guest, you ...... What are you looking at?" the steward was very surprised by his idle actions, and also looked towards the north of the defensive line, but he could only see a pitch black, and in this dim dusk, he couldn't tell whether there was a snow-white figure in the vast ice field in the distance.
Tian Xian had almost already mistaken himself, until he was sure that it was the other party's long hair dancing in the wind, that he was sure that there was indeed a person standing there.
In the Far North, all the human beings that appear are all Tianyan clan without exception!
Thinking of what the steward had said before, Tian Xian couldn't help but clench his fists, if this Tianyan clan appeared, it would drive the void spirit to devour some people, so if she was looking at herself now, it would be very bad.
Just thinking about it, Tianxian suddenly heard a faint voice full of inexplicable laughter in his ears.
"You're finally here!" (To be continued......)
