Chapter 450: Blood Vine Warriors

~9 min read 1,667 words

If Old Bal were going together, the nature would be different. If Su Xiao went alone, Old Bal might be using Su Xiao, but if the two go together, it's different.

Su Xiao temporarily gave up the idea of snatching the pointer by force, not because of Old Bal's proposal, but because Old Bal had always given him a feeling that something was wrong.

The other party's aura is very special; sometimes it's one strand, and sometimes it suddenly becomes two, as if something is stored in the body.

"Three days later... okay."

Since he couldn't leave the red soil region for the time being, Su Xiao simply explored the red soil region.

Old Bal was overjoyed, stood up, and walked out of the stone house. He didn't instruct Su Xiao not to tell outsiders about this matter; Su Xiao didn't understand the Asenman language at all.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked and leaned toward Su Xiao's side, its gaze seeming to say: 'Master, I smell the scent of a conspiracy.'

"If even you can see it, how could I not see it?"

Patting Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's head, Su Xiao connected the clues in his heart.

Blood Vine Warriors, totems, vines, Soul Crystals, black seeds, Old Bal, the blowpipe native Bari, the feud between brothers, large tribes.

The more Su Xiao thought about it, the more interesting he felt it was.

"What exactly is hidden here?"

Su Xiao had a feeling in the dark that if he learned the secret here, he would obtain a massive amount of World Source.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao was even less in a hurry to leave the red soil region. He could just leave the red soil region before the last five days; there was plenty of time to explore before then.

However, there was one point: he had to obtain that compass as soon as possible.

For an entire afternoon, Su Xiao wandered around the 'Asenman Tribe'. Old Bal didn't stop him, and didn't even send subordinates to watch Su Xiao.

The area of the tribe is not small; more than 400,000 people live here, among whom children are the majority. There are tens of thousands of adult female natives, and male natives are even rarer. Male natives are generally only left in the tribe after they have broken arms or legs.

Although these disabled natives don't have to fight, their complexions are sallow and their eye sockets are sunken. It seems they have made a huge contribution to the continuation of the race.

After wandering around the low stone houses for a while, Su Xiao looked at a large mountain behind the tribe.

This mountain peak blocks the rear of the Asenman tribe, and the side of the mountain facing outward is a steep rock wall. It is impossible to enter the Asenman tribe from the rear.

The mountain peak is closely connected to the Asenman tribe, or rather, the Asenman tribe was built leaning against this large mountain.

Su Xiao walked toward the vicinity of the foot of the mountain. The foot of the mountain was blocked by a row of dense stone houses. To get close to the foot of the mountain, one could only enter from the front entrance.

The front entrance was guarded by dozens of red-skinned natives. These red-skinned natives had dull expressions, and some insects landed on their faces without them paying any attention.

It was unlikely to get close to the back mountain, but Su Xiao had a general direction; the secret should be there.

After wandering around for an afternoon, today's survival was mysteriously easy. After all, the Asenman tribe is a hegemon in the red soil region, and no wild beasts approach here.

At 7:00 that evening, Old Bal invited Su Xiao to the stone house in front of his home.

A bonfire had already been lit in front of the stone house, and men, women, old, and young were all gathered around the bonfire. Among these people were Old Bal's wife, sons, daughters-in-law, granddaughters-in-law, etc.

Although the Asenman tribe has other names, the nature is similar.

Of Old Bal's 72 sons, 60 have died in battle, 10 are still on the battlefield, and the other two are disabled. Sometimes when Old Bal is not in the tribe, his two sons are in charge.

Washinoki Washinoki Jishi of people were gathered around the fire; this was Old Bal's family.

Su Xiao had a question before: if Old Bal's son A died in battle, would son A's wife have to remain a widow?

Su Xiao vaguely remembered Old Bal's surprised look at that time. Old Bal's answer was: "How could it be such a waste? Of course, it's for other brothers to continue using."

This made Su Xiao look at the graveyard near the tribe. He suddenly felt that the grass there was greener, green and shiny.

The natives around the fire were singing and dancing, and the natives were singing songs that Su Xiao couldn't understand.

Old Bal handed a large piece of roasted meat to Su Xiao. After confirming that the roasted meat was fine, he cut half of the roasted meat for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

Dinner was resolved. While Su Xiao was eating the roasted meat, Old Bal handed over 'another dish'.

That was a kind of black round cake. The round cake seemed to have been fried in animal oil, very crispy, and exuded a strange fragrance.

Su Xiao looked at this suspicious cake up and down, tried taking a bite, and the taste was quite good.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang smelled the fragrance, its furry big head leaned over, stretched its head, swallowed the black cake in one gulp, and chewed it happily.

"What kind of cake is this?"

"A cake made from the brains of a thorn scorpion. The taste is not bad, right?"

Old Bal enthusiastically pushed a large plate of black cakes in front of Su Xiao, but he didn't notice Su Xiao's complexion.

Thinking of the ugly-looking thorn scorpion with a pungent smell all over its body, Su Xiao's stomach churned a bit.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang on the side had a green dog face. Su Xiao had only eaten a small bite, while it had swallowed the whole cake.

Su Xiao's gaze toward other 'snacks' started to become wrong; he would not eat suspicious-looking food again.

"Pududu, famaa ah (unknown language)."

A shout suddenly came from afar. Old Bal's complexion changed drastically after hearing the shout. With a 'whoosh', he stood up and ran toward the back mountain.

Su Xiao also stood up quickly, picked up Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was still gnawing on a bone, and ran toward the back mountain.

When Su Xiao ran to the back mountain, he found that many people had already gathered here.

In the center of the crowd, a male native was lying on the ground twitching, foaming at the mouth, as if he were having an epileptic seizure.

Old Bal rushed forward and said something to the native on the side in a gibberish language. After the native nodded quickly, he turned and rushed into the back mountain.

Su Xiao looked at the twitching male native on the ground. If he remembered correctly, this native was the guard who guarded the back mountain during the day. The other party's weapon was a stone spear, which was easy to recognize.

Old Bal pressed his hand on the stone spear native's chest, and the stone spear native's twitching slowed down a bit.

Not long after, the native who ran into the back mountain returned, holding a bamboo tube in his hand, containing a liquid like a mercury film.

The temperature of this liquid was very low, and it was exuding cold air. Judging from the degree of shivering of that native, this thing was extremely cold.

Old Bal took the bamboo tube, not caring about the extreme cold, and poured the liquid in the bamboo tube into the stone spear native's mouth.

After pouring more than half of the bamboo tube, the stone spear native stopped twitching.

"Wula qige ga (unknown language)."

A female native ran up, full of tears. The native on the ground was her spouse.

Old Bal shook his head; it seemed he wasn't sure either.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

"Ah!!"

The stone spear native's body sprang up, let out a scream, his mouth opened to the maximum, and his hands formed a chicken claw shape.

Hearing this scream, Old Bal turned and ran. Not only him, but the surrounding natives were the same.

"Wa~."

That female native knelt on the ground and cried loudly. No matter how the people around her pulled her, she still desperately leaned forward.

Su Xiao also retreated with the crowd. Soon, only the spouse was left beside the stone spear native.

"Ah!!!"

The stone spear native's scream shook the valley. Light shone from his mouth, and his chest began to become transparent.

At this moment, the stone spear native's body was like a red-hot soldering iron; his blood vessels, bones, and internal organs could all be seen clearly.

It was as if a small sun had appeared inside the stone spear native's body.

The stone spear native's spouse rushed forward to hug him, and a terrifying thing happened.

Sizzle~.

The stone spear native's spouse's body quickly turned into coke, and after a few seconds, it was burned away.

"Ah!!!!!"

An even louder scream came. Su Xiao subconsciously covered his ears; his ears were buzzing from the shock.

Boom!

The stone spear native's body burst open, and the dazzling light illuminated the night into daylight. Everyone present closed their eyes.

The light of the explosion faded, and the stone spear native had disappeared, not even leaving any residue. A large pit appeared where he had been, and the surface of the large pit had already vitrified; that was the appearance only after enduring high-temperature roasting. ===== CHAPTER 451 =====
