Chapter 885 (1/1)
”What should we do now?” Standing in front of the pit where yurt once stood, Wuqi said confused. What he's going through now is arguably the most difficult situation since he was born. Shaman, who has always followed the way of all souls, does not understand why this has become so. It's hard enough to be a Skinner, and it's enough to be hidden by the head man. But God seems to think that the cooking ingredients are not enough. When the waves of destiny hit you, it often means that a bigger tide has come.
Cheese looks calmer than Wuqi for two reasons. First of all, it was not his house that was trapped in the ground. The destruction of Shaman just made the mage lose some materials. Those materials could not support them to cross the whole grassland. If they disappeared earlier, they just started to collect them on the spot. On the other hand, it is because the mage has been so numb that he directly jumps over the unbelievable result and turns to thinking about the cause of the result.
”Count the losses first, then think about the countermeasures. You are the shaman of the tribe, and you have to appease the emotions of those people. We can't get close to them for the time being, so I'll do what I can The mage's words seemed to be pushing away. He was the one who treated the patients and took out the worms, and he was also the one who ran away with sacrifice in the fog, but now he has thrown the consequences of these things to Wuqi to face. Even if cheese says the right thing to do right now, there's no way to make his words easier to hear.
”What can I do? I think you'd better take a rest and think about how to deal with skinners at night. My hut is an important hub of blessing, and its destruction means that the whole clan's way of blessing has been severely damaged. It won't be so difficult for those blasphemers to attack here The Shaman's words sounded angry. But if he didn't lie, he did have a reason to fret. The blessing of the shale tribe is so powerful that it can resist the attacks of skinners because it is connected together. Every tent that is inhabited will provide strength for the safety of the whole tribe. The subtlety of this is that those who have just studied the magic of the spirits are totally unable to understand and do it, and Wuqi has always been proud of it.
Cheese took a look at the shaman, the expression on his face did not change, he did not seem to recognize the discontent in Wuqi's words. ”Don't worry. It's still some time before night falls. Rosa and I will go down and have a look first and try to come back before noon
”Down? Where to go down? You mean... ” The words of the grey robe were beyond Shaman's expectation. He stammered and pointed to the dark ground. ”No, no! It's too dangerous. You don't know what's underneath. This hole is likely to connect to a very bad place! And no matter what the cause of this is, it's up to you both... ”
”Calm down, my friend.” Cheese squatted down a little bit and felt something slowly with his fingers on the edge of the crack. ”We won't go too deep. I just want some evidence.”
Wuqi didn't say anything more. If the mage could find out the cause of the earthquake and the rift, he could save a lot of trouble. So he agreed with the idea of adventure, and before he left, he said to cheese, ”be careful. The spirits can't protect you where the stars can't shine.”
”When we choose to deal with those things, we no longer expect anyone to protect us.” Because what we do is protect others. Cheese did not say the second half of the sentence, because he was not sure whether things were as he expected. He felt the strange feeling of long lost in those knots, and if worms and knots were related to the same river, it would be no surprise that there was something under the breach.
Although the shales had a hard time liking cheese as a whole, uville still relied on the mage's lantern to help them fend off the skinners at night. So at the request of cheese, a simple but strong enough bracket was quickly built with spare wooden beams. Those wooden beams were originally used to support the tent. If it was not for the leader's words, the people of shale tribe would not be so willing to lend this important material to a wizard of unknown origin to build his death prop.
Yes, to die. That's what nomads think of cheese going down the chasm. According to their idea, the gap must have been used by the skinners to punish the shaman who decided not to deliver the sacrifice on time. There must be a connection between the evil home of those evil creatures. Because the Skinner who can't see the sun has always been considered as hiding in the ground during the day. Climb down the hole in the ground, and the end of the cave is hell. This is a common saying that adults on the grassland will use to scare their children.
”We pull the rope and we go up.” On the side of the stand, Lothar checks the ropes on his body, which is the only insurance he and cheese can make sure they can return to the ground without any hidden danger. Fortunately, there are a lot of tough herbs on the grassland, and the residents are very good at turning them into functional straw ropes. According to the craftsman who brought these straw ropes, even if two bulls were hung below, the rope would not break. Of course, cheese now has no time to prove that the craftsman's words are true or false, but in his and Rosa's eyes, the two fists of thick straw rope used to support their two weights should be more than enough.
”Are you sure you want to do this? I always think that below It's terrible. ” Atalante frowned, and she could not see the crack, but instinctively told her that there would be nothing pleasant in it.”It doesn't matter. We just go down to the shallow, not deep. And you and Batu can pull us up at any time. Remember, at noon, even if we don't give a signal, we should be pulled out. ” Cheese took the breath of dawn off the wooden stick and hung it on his waist again. They prepared torches, but with a lantern, they always saved a lot of trouble.
”Are you ready?” The mage asked the two men who were in charge of the above ground part and wanted to enter the chasm with him. After getting a few people's affirmation, he nodded, turned over and jumped into the crack, putting his feet against the edge, like climbing.
”Let's start. There is not much time left for noon. When we come up from below, we can have a rest
Hearing the word ”rest”, the three people on the ground all showed a subtle look. ATA and Batu really can't understand why the grey robe can keep such high energy to launch this adventure after the long night last night. The count of Heishan just shrugged at them and whispered, ”I really miss when I was like you. Now I'm not surprised that he's made any decisions
