Chapter 111 (2/2)

He saw Wuyu push away the withered trees to reveal a road leading towards the mountain Wuyu felt excited He withdrew a sarments and blew it

Not long after that, a sharp whistle sounded After that, there was the faint sound of footsteps as hundreds ofdown the mountain Most of the mountain warriors were dressed in ani that they somehoeaved All of them wore straw sandals They held simplistic short spears in their hands but they also carried bows and arrows at their backs

At that moment, Rody did not dare to ridicule the mountain people's simple and crude weapons On his journey here, he had learned hoerful the mountain people could be This was especially when they used their bow and arrows Rody did not knohat the mountain people laced their arroith but they were able to easily kill the majestic black bears of the mountains in one shot Coupled with their skillful archery, they would be unparalleled

Hundreds of the mountain warriors casually stood in front as they were immediately followed by a tall and robust man from behind

That man wore the skin of a leopard and a feathered crown He held a long wooden cane in his hand His face was painted with red paint as if he was a ghost He looked at Rody and Randt with his pair of brown eyes

Wuyu had already walked up to the crownedin a very respectful manner The man nodded and then he raised his wooden stick and shouted loudly The mountain warriors that heard his shout also raised their spears and made an uproar

Once they had quieted down, Rody took a deep breath and walked up to that person After that, he said, ”I am the Empire's Duke of the Tulip Fareet Wuya of the Fla, he opened up his ar to what he learned of the mountain people's customs

Wuyu then whispered from the side ”This is not the Elder of our tribe This is our Elder Shaman!”

”Hhed ”In that case, I greet the Elder Shaman!”

The Elder Sha around and walking away Wuyu then laughed and told Rody ”You may not understand this, but shareeted you earlier when he raised his cane”

Rody laughed and replied, ”So that is what it was Let's go!”

They continued to follow the mountain path until they reached a dark cave A fearriors standing at the entrance bowed their heads when they saw the shaman They then showed their surprise and hostility when they saw Rody and Randt The shaman did not bother to clarify and continued to lead the crowd further into the cave

There were torches lined along the walls of the cave The s fat assailed their nostrils and it flooded the narrow passageway The faint sound of water dripping could also be heard in soilantly followed behind Rody as he looked around the cave After about half an hour, they saw soht Rody looked up and saw that they were about to reach the end of the cave He sighed and thought in his heart This place is really well hidden It's no wonder that the mountain people could survive for hundreds of years and the Empire were never able to subdue them

When they exited the cave, they entered a valley with a village with stockade fortifications The walls and houses were all ate opened, all the

A crowd of athered All of their clothes were coarse and crude, regardless of age or gender All of theers tied to their feet A lot of children also approached but re and pointing

Rody guessed that this valley could sustain about thirty to forty thousand people Just as soon as he thought of that, Wuyu told hie that our Flame Tribe has lived in for e is like a gourd This is only half of it Turn at that corner and you will find a place that is er”

Rody walked down the street and turned to find a village that was indeed er than the one in front The e hands and legs Rody could hear the sound of clanking co from a row of cabins There was also a chi out smoke Rody whispered and asked, ”What is that place?”

Wuyu se of iron ores on the mountain All of the tribes make their own iron tools Their work is also comparable to the Empire's weapons”

At the walls of the valley, they saater gushi+ng out of the walls Located near the walls was a s next to it There were also a feomen who carried jars as they lined up to collect water

Wuyu explained in a strange manner, ”This is our source of water When the chief ascended the position, he ordered for a few guards to stand guard here Everyone had to line up to collect water and nobody was allowed to bath in this pool anyood decisions but this rule is a little bit weird”

Rody gave a supercilious look as he thought The whole valley only has this much water Naturally, they must be careful with it Wouldn't it be bad if they had bathed here as well? I have not iven me a favorable impression I will also stay here for a few days If the mountain people had bathed in this water as well… Rody could not help but give a strange expression as he replied, ”I think your Chief is right Let me ask you When the Chief rose to power, did the number of sick people decrease?”

Wuyu stared ide eyes and felt extremely puzzled ”How did you know?”

They soon arrived at a row of buildings built on top of a huge wooden platfore wooden building The large wooden building was more exquisite compared to the others There were bannersSeveral large guards stood outside the entrance

The front entrance was also enor at the entrance blocked Rody's view When Rody approached, he found out that the curtain was e shi+ny crystals ”This Chief is really a dignified person The gates of the Iold However, a mere Tribal Chief had actually made his curtain out of precious crystals!”

The warriors who stood at the entrance walked forward and exchanged a feords with Wuyu After that, Wuyu turned around and told Rody, ”The shaman asks you to wait for a little while He has entered to speak with the Chief and the Chief would summon you soon”

Rody nodded and stood on the wooden platforilantly looked at the surrounding mountain warriors

While Rody aiting, he suddenly heard Andy's surprised voice ”This… There is a strange feeling…”
