Chapter 642: En route

It's getting hotter, especially now they are heading south. The humidity in the air is getting bigger, and it's stuffy and hot. After a while, the clothes are stuck on the body.

There are wild lands everywhere. There is no way at all. Even the visitors from the big tribes would ask the war beast or The Guide, birds or the old merchants to lead them. If you walk a certain way, you need to determine the location. For example, it is the most common preferred to find the local savages and ask them to point a way. Otherwise, no matter how fierce you are, you will be lost in the endless wilderness and forests.

Now there is a relatively large team in the vast wilderness where few people are found to be living.

The leader rode a wildebeest, followed by a large number of walkers. The speed of the horned horse is very slow, just like it’s walking around, so that the pedestrians behind do not have to hurry up, just follow at the normal pace.

If you look closely, you will find that most of the walkers have incomplete facial features, and their facial features are not the same, just like many indigenous people from different places come together, it looked very strange.

Luo raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, grabbed the leather bag hanging on his belt, opened the plug and took a sip of water.

Generally, the leather bag will have a strange smell when it is filled with water in summer, but he doesn't know if this leather bag is made carefully. Even if the water has become warm, it still doesn't taste strange.

Such a delicate leather bag, not to mention his former slave warrior, it cannot necessarily owned by the Lie tribe senior management.

But now such a bag is owned by everyone in the team, including the rescued slaves.

In addition to the leather bags for water, they also have their own clothes and shoes, wooden bowls, chopsticks and spoons for eating, straw hats for sheltering the sun, and covered them. However, the covered things are heavy and inconvenient to carry with them. Mo Da-Ren is merciful. They put all the covered into the storage bone objects. Only when they need to use, will they be sent by the person in charge of keeping them.

Luo felt the cotton and linen clothes on his body, and the wooden dishes and spoons hanging on his waist. He felt that he had never been so wealthy.

This is his own property, Lie Da-Ren said, and they will get their own reward every month.

This makes Luo look forward to the future. Even though he was tortured cruelly and deprived of his qualification as a male (castration), he can't help looking forward to the future.

"What are you smile at? Walk well, don't leave the team!” Si, the leader of the slave warriors who has been taking good care of him, frowned and scolded him in a low voice.

“No, I just feel like I'm dreaming." Look at Luo, a young man with a dark red face.

"You slap yourself, if it hurts, it's not a dream," Si said in a deadpan tone.

Luo giggled, he would not hit his own face. He stepped up, walked in line with Si, and said bravely, "Where is the chief Da-Ren and priest Da-Ren going to take us, Si?"

Si didn't seem to want to answer him, but said, "You care so much, we will follow them."

“I, I just think this neighborhood looked familiar. Maybe my tribe is here. I want to see if my mom is still there. Maybe..."

Si was silent for a moment. "Do you remember where you came from?"

Luo nodded and shook his head. “I don't remember much. I remember that there is a big river near our tribe. Our Great Witch once said that the river is just a small river, and there is a bigger river at the end of it. I always wanted to see the bigger river, but I before I grew up to go out with the hunting team. The tribe was attacked. Almost the whole tribe was killed, my A-Ma and I remember that they were separated from us. I don't know if she was caught or hid. I... miss her.

"Your common language is very good. You should come from a larger tribe, right?" Si asked.

“Um." Luo nodded again, “It seems that our tribe is not far away from the Mucheng-Forest City. Every few years, there will be a caravan of Mucheng-Forest City passing by."

"Do you think this neighborhood looked familiar?"

“Um! Even if it's not near my tribe, I will definitely follow the slave head through here. "

"What is the name of your tribe?"

“The Gao-Cave people.”

They seldom had such a conversation before. The slaves who were chosen to join the slave warriors had to receive a lot of training every day. Every day when they were tired and went back to the slave camp, they could fall asleep almost immediately. Moreover, most of the slaves didn't even speak the common language completely, so they didn't want to say anything more.

Luo was just selected as a slave warrior because of his young age. He had not been completely infected by the terrible numbness in the slave barracks, but he did not dare to talk to us too much at ordinary times, even if the leader Si took care of him intentionally or unintentionally.

Si is not in the mood to know his men's past, so what? When he became a slave warrior, he may die anytime and anywhere, or if he can't stand training, or he will die with the punishment, or he will go hunting with the warriors and be killed by wild animals, or In short, no slave warrior can live too long.

When he first became a slave warrior, he would be sad because of his companion's death and injury, and even fight for him. But after being punished again and again, seeing the familiar people around him disappear at a very fast speed, and the new slaves continue to be added in, for a long time, he was as numb as other old slave warriors.

But now everything will be different!

The Jiu Yuan people defeated the Lie Tribe. They became slaves of the Jiu Yuan people from the slaves of the Lie Tribe, and the Jiu Yuan people obviously had a lot of kindness.

Yes, Si doesn't believe in their identity conversion at all. Although the merciful Mo Da-Ren has repeatedly stated that they are no longer slaves, Si has already passed the age of easily believing others.

Only half of the young people like Luo can truly believe that they are free, and will live a happy life full and warm from then on.

"Si, if I beg with Lie Da-Ren, do you think they'll let me go back and have a look? I'll just go back and have a look. "

Sure enough! When he heard the boy say that he was familiar nearby, he had expected that the other side might make such a request.

As expected, it's still a child, unexpectedly making such a naive request. Si directly made a big plead in Luo's behavior.

He couldn't bear to let the silly boy who was not easy to show his smile again annoy the leader of the warriors of the Jiu Yuan and even be punished, so he took over the matter. "When I have a rest, I will ask, maybe Da-Ren are also looking for the nearby savage tribes. If there is the Gao-Cave people here, I will try to let you have a look. But don't mess around and leave by yourself, do you hear me?”

Luo was excited and kept whispering thanks.

The other slaves didn't respond to the conversation. They just walked on. Luo looked so different inside, but he didn't want to find out.

Si thought, how long will this Luo going to live? Any master doesn't like slaves who have their own thoughts, so does their new master, the Jiu Yuan people.

He doesn't know how long he can protect Luo, and he doesn't think so much. If Luo is happy now, let him keep it like this.

Si looked up at the sun, and then looked at the front of the team. According to the previous practice, when the sun was about to rise to the top of his head, Da-Ren would find a place for everyone to stop and have a rest. Now it is almost that time.

Not far away from their direction of travel, there was a sundry forest. He also heard the sound of the stream. As long as there were no dangerous beasts there, Da-Ren should choose to take a rest there for a while, and then they will start again after avoiding the hottest noon.

Da-Ren seems to have never lost his way. They seem to have been walking in the same direction without pause or hesitation. Even every time they have a rest, they can find a suitable place.

Is it because of the big bird that will become a child? Or because of the mysterious and benevolent Mo Da-Ren?

Si couldn't figure out. He couldn't figure out a lot of things the Da-Rens of the Jiu Yuan had done all the way. For example, what is the ultimate goal of the Jiu Yuan people? Why do they walk all the way and leave a very flat, broad and solid road, and bridge when they met the river? Why are they always walking so leisurely, still allow a few children to mess around in the field every day?

And why did they bring their slave warriors? What's more, they are asked to help alert, collect plant herbs, and build bridges and pave roads for other engineering teams, but there are so few things they are really required to do in these days?

Si can't understand what he thinks, but it doesn't matter. He has already learned not to think much, as long as he obeys orders.

At the forefront of the team.

Yuan Zhan touched priest Da-Ren's hair and teased him: “Finally willing to change it back?"

Yan Mo, who was looking at the map, pushed him, “It's so hot! Don't get so close.” On such a hot day, why should he suffer such a crime if he doesn't wear such a long head of hair every day for the sake of acting?

It's almost half a month since the time of his blessing. He's almost recovered. He doesn't want to wait any longer. As soon as he got up this morning and felt the temperature outside, he shortened his hair at the first time, but the color is still white for the time being.

Yuan Zhan found that he also liked Yan Mo's short hair better, which would make him look more energetic and less far away like other higher ups.

“Are we close to the boundary of Mucheng-Forest City?"

"Well, we can avoid the Mucheng-Forest City along this road. According to our current schedule, if we don't delay, it will take us about a month to enter the primeval forest composed of the continuous Mountains, and the ancient relics should be in those silent Mountains and old forests."

“Are there any larger tribes on this road?"

"Jiu Feng has gone to investigate and will tell us the details when he came back. According to the information given to us by Mucheng-Forest City, there should be two or three small tribes with hundreds of people. No matter how small they are, they don't pay attention.” Yan Mo put the map away.

"What are you going to do with the slave warriors? Are you always going to take them with you?” Yuan Zhan helped fanning him. In fact, they are not afraid of heat, but on such a hot day, even if they adjust themselves physically, they still feel hot visually.

"The slave warriors have done well in this period of time. They can't be disabled like this all the time." Yan Mo relaxed. The one who was shouting hot just now leans into the arms of his cattle.

"You want to help them recover?" Yuan Zhan grabbed him.

“Um."

Yuan Zhan frowned. "There are more than a thousand people."

“I didn't say I wanted to help them recover all at once. I could use rewards and encouragement and help them one by one." Although it's not difficult for him to give another big blessing with his current ability, it takes much more energy to let so many people break their limbs and regenerate together than the last big blessing he gave in the Rong tribe. That is to say, he can slowly make up for the lost life energy, which is also painful.

"So that's why you didn't ask people to send them back to the Jiu Yuan, but took them on the road together?"

"This is just one of them. We are still too few in the Jiu Yuan. How many forces have we been to along the way? Even if one force keeps one person, it is not enough for us to consume. In the future, more and more forces will join the Jiu Yuan, and we will absorb more warriors from other forces to become the warriors of the Jiu Yuan. But do you dare to guarantee their loyalty?”

"You are trying these slave warriors?"

Yan Mo admitted, "You also said that these slave warriors are all selected elite warriors, which is a pity to waste. Although the Lie tribe is a bastrd, they have a good eye for people. I've also seen the slave warriors. Although they suffer a lot and suffer a lot of internal injuries, two thirds of them are blood warriors, even though they are at a very low level and the highest level is only 3rd rank. But as long as they are well groomed and supported by good skills, they will upgrade quickly.

It is the remaining one-third of the ordinary warriors who have been able to live to the present time. They are more determined and can stand to be polished. If they are taught to practice the Qi method, I believe that their achievements will not be worse than the other two-thirds of the blood warriors. "

Yuan Zhan was a little puzzled, "We have seen and saved many slaves and slave warriors before. Why do you only like the Lie tribe group? You didn't bring any of the Rong tribe. "

“Because they have been beaten to the bottom, including their spiritual world has been destroyed once." It can be said that these slave warriors are the best puppets and dead men as long as they have been adjusted.

It's hard to say that the Lie tribe has actually helped him to do the cruelest thing, and he just needs to stand in front of these people as a savior and give them a new life, which is not only physical, but also become their spiritual pillar.

And those who have been completely destroyed, who will have their groins re-grew by his hand, do not say that they regard him as a God since then, and their loyalty will definitely surpass that of the warriors who are generally favored by him.

Yan Mo doesn't know how to explain this to Yuan Zhan. He can't say that he has been exposed to similar “Mental patients" in his previous life, so he has some experience in this field, right?

This group of slave warriors can be said to be the most extreme and the most difficult to treat mental patients, and what he has to do is to become their God, give them hope and new life.

It's a sinister to think of it like this, but it's better than treating them well and letting them go.

These slave warriors need not only physical treatment, but also spiritual reconstruction. This will be a long-term work. Yan Mo can't pay attention to them one by one, so the best way is to keep them by his side.

Since he has stayed by his side, he can't support so many people for nothing. In this case, he might as well rebuild these people according to his own wishes, so that they can be used completely by himself.

Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo got to know each other over the years. Yuan Zhan don't need Yan Mo to say more, so he understand the other person's words with few words.

Although he doesn't know how Priest Da-Ren of his city is going to teach these slave warriors, but he knows that the result is not harmful to Mo, and if he can build a most loyal and powerful private army for Mo. Yuan Zhan also agrees that he will take this hard work which is not easy.

At noon, Yuan Zhan immediately ordered the Jiu Yuan engineering team to go ahead of time to build simple houses near the groves and streams, and let everyone go to the groves to have a rest.
