After Guan Heng said this, he looked at each other and smiled at Rong Zheng. After this battle, he had already understood the strength of Geng Shu, and the attack power of the newly acquired Qinyuan Tiger Bee Demon was not weak, although the tail

The stinging needle's surprise can only be used once a day, but it is undoubtedly a backup weapon.

Moreover, Geng Shu cut off his arm immediately after being attacked, showing that he was a ruthless man. This man should not be underestimated. Guan Heng had already secretly paid attention to it, and planned to get rid of him with ruthless hands when he met him again to avoid causing another disaster.

After a while, the birds and eagles that Guan Heng found using the bird-attracting medicine ate up all the poisonous insects and snakes on the ground. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, and then they started on their way through the mountains and forests.

Along the way, Rong Zheng told Guan Heng that in addition to the four major foreign tribes, the Tianyu tribe, the Mo Nui tribe, the Zhujian tribe and the Linghu tribe, there are also many small tribes with different customs living in the vast mountains in this area.

Small tribe, there is a small tribe called the Clay-faced Mizu tribe where they will pass by tonight.

The so-called mud-faced fans are actually no different from ordinary people living in mountainous areas, but they have a very unique custom. When the whole family goes into the mountains to hunt, they will evenly smear wet mud on their faces. It is said that this

It can prevent mosquito bites and avoid being discovered by vicious monsters. In addition, it can also ward off evil spirits.

Guan Hengwen, who was on the road with Rong Zheng, heard this and couldn't help but asked strangely: What does it mean to avoid evil spirits?

Regarding warding off evil spirits, it actually has something to do with the legend in this mountain. At this time, Rong Zheng looked at the path ahead and found that it had turned into a narrow and winding mountain road. He casually said to Guan Heng: Ni Mian and I

I have some friendship with the elder of the Mi tribe and learned some local anecdotes from him.

Having said this, Rong Zheng paused for a moment and continued: More than a hundred years ago, people from several small tribes still lived in the mountains surrounding the Mud-faced Mizu tribe. But one year, a terrible monster suddenly appeared in the mountains.

, that monster is different from ordinary monsters. It has amazing power and can change. It eats and kills people everywhere, causing people on several surrounding mountains to flee and die. Gradually, it becomes sparsely populated.

Guan Heng blinked and said: But those people from the mud-faced tribe can still live here, so there must be a secret in it.

Hahaha, Brother Guan is right.

At this moment, Rong Zheng smiled and said: Those people from the mud-faced tribe were initially frightened by the terror of the monsters in the mountains, but then someone came up with an idea. When they went into the mountains, they smeared their faces with mud and mixed their bodies with the monsters.

The surrounding trees, flowers and grass blend in and disrupt the monster's sight. This way, you can luckily save your life when the monster passes by.

Oh, so that's what happened, I understand. Guan Heng said casually, but he thought to himself: What does that monster in the mountain look like and what abilities it has? I really want to see it, but I am in a hurry to get on my way now.

It's better not to create extraneous problems.

As soon as Guan Heng thought of this, Rong Zheng suddenly said: Look, there is the village of the Mud-faced Mizu in front of us. It is almost dusk now. It is easy to lose your way if you travel at night. Let's stay overnight at the local elder's house tonight.

Hearing this, Guan Heng slightly nodded his head: Okay, it all depends on Brother Rong's arrangement. Guan Heng and the other three took the ghost-swallowing tiger and two demon apes into the village of the Mizu tribe not far away. As expected, there was

Someone knew Rong Zheng and immediately welcomed the elders of the Lost Clan.

Seeing the visit of his old friend Rong Zheng, the elder of the Mi clan was particularly enthusiastic. He introduced several people into his home, asked his family to prepare meals, and arranged the residence of the ghost-eating tiger and the two giant apes.

However, Guan Heng found that the faces of the people around him were a bit unnatural. They all seemed to have sad faces and were distracted when talking or doing things.

So Guan Heng quietly said to Rong Zheng: Could it be that something happened in this village? Why do everyone look worried? It is obvious that they are encountering difficulties. Brother Rong, you can ask the elders if necessary.

Let's help, you and I can too

Well, what Brother Guan said makes sense. The elder has always been very cautious and taciturn. If you ask him in front of everyone, the elder may not want to speak. Rong Zheng said to Guan Heng: Well, just sit here for a while.

, I went to the elder's room to inquire about the details.

After listening to Rong Zheng's words, Guan Heng nodded slightly and said: Okay, you go ahead, I'll just wait here.

Rong Zheng looked in the direction of the elder's bedroom at this time, and there was still a light on there, so he walked over and knocked on the door gently, and was welcomed in by the elder.

Guan Heng waited for about a moment, and Rong Zheng finally walked out of the room with a sullen face. He walked up to Guan Heng and whispered in a low voice: Brother, come in with me.

At this time, Guan Heng glanced at Agou, who was sleeping leaning on the ghost-swallowing tiger, and the dark crystal coffin next to him, and then nodded: Okay, let's go.

The two entered the room of the elder of the Mi tribe again, but Guan Heng found that the elder's eyes were red and swollen from crying. He felt a little strange, but it was inconvenient for him to ask, so he glanced at Rong Zheng.

At this time, Rong Zheng closed the door and said to Guan Heng: "At first, the elder refused to tell the truth, because he was afraid of hurting us, but after I pressed him again and again, he told me what happened here recently."

Oh, then I also want to listen. Guan Heng glanced at the elder at this time, and the latter finally sighed, and then said: Little brother, I know that you and Patriarch Rong Zheng care about us here and want to help.

I just bothered to inquire about the situation, but it is really strange to say this. I am really afraid that you will be implicated.

Hey, elder, since we are all here, it seems a little late to say whether we are involved or not. Guan Heng smiled slightly at this time and said: Don't worry, I plan to hear what is going on first.

If I can't help you, I'll forgive you and walk away. You won't care, right?

Alas, it’s rare for a little brother to ask, so I’ll just tell you. The elder of the Mi tribe actually held back a lot of words and wanted to find someone to talk to. Seeing that Rong Zheng and Guan Heng were so eager to inquire, he couldn’t hide it anymore.

, so I simply said it all.

That was the scene a few months ago. As in previous years, the Mud-faced Mi tribe held the largest hunting event of the year in the mountains during the hottest summer season. The hunting lasted seven days in the mountains, which meant that the whole tribe, young and old,

Ding would smear wet mud on his face and body, wear animal skins and grass skirts around his waist, and go hunting in the mountains with spears, bows and arrows in hand.

Although man-eating monsters appeared in this mountain more than a hundred years ago, to this day, they have only heard of legends and never seen real objects. Therefore, the people of the Clay-faced Mi tribe are just following the old customs of smearing mud on their faces for hunting.

, no one took the monster thing seriously.
