Chapter 449: Blood Vine Warrior
If he went there with Barr, it would be different.
But Su Xiao didn't really like the idea, not because of Barr's suggestion, but because it gave him a strange feeling.
Barr exuded a very strange aura at times. Most of the time, he felt like there was only one person in front of him, but sometimes he would suddenly have the feeling that there were two people in front of him.
— In three days.
Since he didn't have much choice, Su Xiao decided to explore the place a bit before setting off.
Barr's face lit up with joy when he heard Su Xiao's answer, and he immediately got up and walked out of the stone house.
— Ooooooooooo~, " Bubtney howled and leaned closer to Su Xiao, his eyes seeming to say: "Master, I sense a conspiracy».
— Since you were able to understand it, how could I not understand it?
After patting Bubtny's head, Su Xiao began to piece together the clues that were available.
Blood vine warriors, totem in the center of the tribe, vines, soul crystals, "black seeds", enmity of Barr and Barry, two brothers...
The more Su Xiao thought about all this, the more he wanted to see the answers to the questions.
— What the hell is hidden in this place?
Su Xiao felt that revealing the secret of this island would bring him a huge amount of treasures.
Su Xiao ended up spending the entire day exploring the territory of the Yasenman Tribe. Barr didn't try to stop him and didn't even send his subordinates to "escort" Su Xiao.
And this tribe occupied a truly large territory. It was home to more than 400,000 Aboriginal Redskins, most of whom were young children. There were about a couple of tens of thousands of adult women in the tribe, and there were very few adult men in the tribe, and even if he met adult men, they almost always had some serious injuries.
Although these crippled natives didn't have to fight, their faces were yellowish and there were huge circles under their eyes. They were obviously making a big contribution in the tribe itself, not on the front lines.
After wandering among the low stone houses for a while, Su Xiao looked towards the big mountain behind the tribe.
This mountain blocked the rear of the Yasenman tribe. It was very steep, which made it impossible to attack this tribe in the back.
This mountain was closely related to the Yasenman tribe, or in other words, a part of the Yasenman tribe was built near this mountain.
Su Xiao headed towards the foot of the mountain. The foot of the mountain was blocked off by a narrow row of stone houses. The only way to get close to the foot of the mountain was through the main entrance, which was guarded by a dozen strong-looking red-skinned aborigines.
Getting close to the foot of the mountain by other methods was quite difficult, but there was no need to do so now. Su Xiao now had a general direction in which to dig.
Since the Yasenman Tribe was one of the strongest factions in the red soil territory, no wild beasts tried to approach this tribe.
At 7 p.m., Barr invited Su Xiao to his stone house.
A bonfire had already been lit in front of the stone house, and men, women, and children were gathered around it. These people included Barr's wife, son, daughter-in-law, and grandson.
As it turned out, sixty of Barr's seventy-two sons had died in battle, ten of them were now on the front line, and the remaining two were wounded and were currently being treated. Sometimes, when Barr wasn't in the tribe, his two sons would fill in for him just in case.
Dozens of red-skinned natives surrounded the bonfire. They were all part of the Barr family.
Su Xiao had previously asked him this question, " If Barry's son had died in battle, his wife would have been left a widow for the rest of her life?»
He saw Barr's surprised eyes first, then heard the expected response: "Even he couldn't be so extravagant, surely one of his sons would end up becoming her new husband».
This answer made Su Xiao look at the cemetery next to the tribe, and after seeing the grass growing in this cemetery, he suddenly felt that this grass was very green[1].
The aboriginals around the campfire soon started singing and dancing, but Su Xiao couldn't understand the meaning of these songs.
Old Barr handed Su Xiao a large piece of grilled meat, and after confirming that the barbecue was fine, Su Xiao cut it in half and gave half to Bubtni.
When the meat was finished, a new dish was brought out to the fire.
It was a sort of black round cake. The round cake seemed to have been fried in animal oil, was very crunchy, and gave off a strange aroma.
Su Xiao looked at the suspicious pie and when he took a bite of it, he was surprised to find that it was very delicious.
Bubtny, smelling the aroma of the pie, put his fluffy head close to it and swallowed a piece of pie in one gulp, then began to chew it with obvious pleasure.
— What kind of pie is this?
— It's made from scorpion brains, isn't it? Barr said and enthusiastically placed a large plate of black cake in front of Su Xiao, ignoring Su Xiao's expressions.
Su Xiao's stomach turned slightly at the thought of the ugly scorpion.
Bubtney's face turned green. Su Xiao only took a small bite, but he swallowed a huge chunk.
Su Xiao started looking at the other snacks with not very good eyes and decided not to eat any more unfamiliar food.
— 噗嘟嘟，砝码啊! suddenly, a shout rang out in the distance. Barr's face changed dramatically when he heard it.
Su Xiao also quickly got up and picked up Bubtny, who was gnawing on bones, and ran with Barr towards the mountain.
Soon, he saw that a large number of aboriginals had gathered near the foot of the mountain.
In the center of the ring, an aboriginal was lying on the ground. His mouth was foaming, and his body was convulsing.
Barr rushed forward and muttered something to the native standing next to him. He nodded, turned, and ran at full speed toward the mountain.
Su Xiao looked at the man writhing on the ground. If he remembered correctly, this guy was the guard at the entrance to the foot of the mountain. Back then, he was holding a stone spear in his hands.
Barr pressed a hand to his chest, which made his convulsions less violent.
Soon after, the native who had escaped to the mountain returned, holding a bamboo tube in his hand that contained a liquid that looked more like mercury.
The temperature of this liquid was very low, and it exuded cold air. Seeing how the native's hand was shaking, Su Xiao realized that this liquid was very cold.
Barr picked up the bamboo tube, ignoring the extreme cold, and poured the liquid from the bamboo tube directly into the aboriginal's mouth.
After a couple of tens of seconds, he stopped twitching.
— 乌拉起个嘎! with a cry, a woman ran out of the ring with tears on her face. The man on the ground was obviously her husband.
Barr shook his head and waved his hand as if he wasn't sure what he was doing.
— ARG-X!!! the man's body jumped, and he let out a sharp cry. His mouth opened wide, and his fingers began to twist in all directions.
Hearing and seeing this, Barr immediately stood up and walked away, not only him, but also the Natives around him.
— Oooh-oooh-oooh~.
The woman knelt down and began to cry loudly. No matter how hard the aboriginals around her tried to pull her back, she still struggled to push forward.
Su Xiao also retreated along with the crowd, and soon only his wife was left by the man's side.
— ARG-X!!! the man's cry echoed through the tribe, and a bright light shot out from his mouth, and his body began to turn transparent.
The aborigine's body was like a piece of hot iron, but at the same time, his blood vessels, bones, and internal organs were clearly visible.
His wife rushed to him and hugged him, but because of this, a very horrifying incident occurred.
Her body instantly burst into flames and only seconds later all that was left of her was ash.
— ARG-X-X-X-X!!!
Su Xiao subconsciously covered his ears, but even that didn't help him, and a buzz still rose up in his head.
*BOOM!*
The man's body exploded. The blinding light turned night into day and caused everyone present to cover their eyes.
The light quickly disappeared. There was no sign of the man's body. Where it had lain, all that remained was a large pit, the surface of which was glazed over.
[1] In China, giving/wearing a "green hat" is a very strong insult, because it literally means that a man has a " very unfaithful wife».
