Chapter 233: Going Out
Su Lun stared at the two people who walked into the snowfield. There was indeed a human village outside the snowfield, but it was a very small human settlement and was not controlled by any kingdom.
Judging from the simple equipment worn by the two people, they were ordinary people. It would be difficult for them to return alive if they went deep into the ice field.
Su Lun stared at the two people for a while. He recalled the scene of the two dark elf teams meeting each other before. Since there were dark elves outside communicating with the dark elves in the ice field, perhaps the village outside could get some news about these dark elves.
He thought for a while. The dragon eggs were very hidden in the frost giants' tribe, and with the frost giants staying in the tribe, the dark elves could not find the dragon eggs. It was safe to leave them there.
He could take a break and go to the village outside the ice field to have a look. Maybe he could find something different.
Su Lun slowly approached the two people. He changed back to human form in a place where they could not see.
The two people did not know that Su Lun was next to them. They shivered because of the cold air around them. The coldness around them deepened with every step forward.
"Why don't we go back first? We haven't seen the beast yet, and our bodies are almost frozen into ice sculptures." said the short man behind.
He was wearing very thick clothes, but these clothes provided limited warmth on this ice field.
The man with the rusty long sword in front also stopped. They walked on this ice field. In his expectation, he should have encountered a beast soon, and then he would kill the beast with his martial arts, but the current situation was completely different from what he imagined.
Just as they hesitated, the sound of footsteps trampling on the snow suddenly came from the snow next to them.
Because there are many large creatures on this ice field, the corpses of these large creatures are everywhere. These corpses and snow piled together to form a large number of snow piles of different heights, so it is difficult to see what is behind the snow piles if you don't pay attention.
Both of them stared at the snow pile in front of them with caution, and the man with the long sword asked: "Who is there?"
He held the long sword across his body to fight against danger.
Su Lun walked out directly from behind the snow pile. He looked at the two without speaking.
The two men were slightly relieved when they saw that it was a human, but the man with the long sword still asked, "Who are you?"
He did not put down the long sword, because he knew very well that even if it was a human, he should not trust it easily.
Su Lun was about to speak when a dire wolf rushed over from a distance. This dire wolf had been following the two men, so he took this opportunity to catch one of them and took him away.
The two men also discovered the dire wolf rushing over from a distance, and they suddenly became extremely nervous. Although they had prepared themselves mentally before coming, it was useless when they really encountered danger.
The dire wolf was very fast, and the two men could not dodge it. They could only hold the long sword across their bodies to prepare for defense.
The man with the long sword trembled a little. He thought it was not difficult to hunt and kill wild beasts. As long as he had enough ability, he could kill wild beasts. But when he encountered actual combat, he found that all the things he had learned before were useless. When he encountered danger, he became very stiff.
Just when the dire wolf was about to bite one of them on the neck, Su Lun went forward and punched the dire wolf on the head.
After Su Lun's bloodline was strengthened, his strength was strong enough, and he knocked the direwolf away with one punch.
The two saw that the direwolf saw someone coming to save it, and they felt much safer, but they found that the injured direwolf did not leave, but was wandering around.
At this time, a group of direwolves came around one after another.
Direwolves are generally social creatures. The appearance of a direwolf means that there are a group of direwolves around.
Su Lun looked at the number of these direwolves. There were about fifteen of them. If he was surrounded by these direwolves alone, it would be nothing. He could rush out at any time, but it would be a bit difficult to save the two people from the direwolves.
The direwolf pack kept approaching, and more than ten direwolves surrounded Su Lun and others, and several people were constantly retreating.
"Be careful that these frost wolves may attack at any time."
After Su Lun said this, his body quickly changed into the form of a werewolf, and sharp claws and thick hair suddenly grew on his body.
He rushed directly towards the direwolves. Although the direwolves were actively avoiding him, he ran faster than the direwolves, so he quickly killed one of them.
The other direwolves were not idle either. They knew that Su Lun was not easy to deal with, so they set their sights on the other two who were not strong.
For a while, the two were quickly surrounded by direwolves. All they could do was to wave their swords to intimidate the direwolves to buy time.
The two tried their best to buy time. Su Lun quickly came after killing one of the direwolves. As long as he came, these direwolves would not be able to capture and eat people.
Su Lun was like a black shadow on the pale earth, shuttling through the wolf pack at a very fast speed, and every time he passed through, he would take the life of a frost wolf.
Gradually, the frost wolf pack began to retreat. The leader of the pack howled, and the entire pack quickly left.
Su Lun did not chase after him immediately. He looked at the corpses of the frost wolves around him. There were about five or six corpses of frost wolves. Without five frost wolves, the wolf pack's hunting ability would be greatly reduced.
He looked at the two people next to him. Although he tried his best to protect the two people among the wolves, he still couldn't avoid being injured.
Among them, the man holding the long sword, Su Lun said, "Thank you for the rescue. I am Cook, from a nearby village."
He thanked Su Lun, and then looked at his companion next to him, because his companion had a deep tooth mark on his arm, bitten by the frost wolf just now.
But it didn't look serious, and a simple bandage successfully stopped the bleeding.
"It's better for you to return to the village immediately. It's too dangerous for you here." Su Lun said to the two.
Since these two people are from the surrounding villages, they can get specific information about the village, or information about the dark elves.
Cook nodded, he helped his companion up and said, "Do you want to stay here?"
He didn't know who Su Lun was, he only knew that Su Lun was very strong.
After looking at the corpses around him, he now knew that there was no danger and felt much more relaxed.
"I will leave with you, you lead the way." Su Lun said.
Hearing this, Cook knew that there was a strong man following him, and he would not be attacked by wolves for the time being. He immediately agreed and walked quickly in front.
This ice field is very wide, so you have to leave this ice and snow area before you can reach the village outside.
They slowly moved towards the outside of the ice field. Because someone was injured, their speed was not fast, but Su Lun was not in a hurry, so he kept following behind.
Outside the ice field is a large jungle. In addition to the jungle, there are some small paths, which lead to the village.
Su Lun is somewhat familiar with the entrances to these paths, because the dark elves met here before. If I guessed correctly, the dark elves outside also passed by the village where Cook was.
Cook walked towards one of the paths, and Su Lun followed closely.
Because they left the ice field, the surrounding threats suddenly decreased a lot, at least they would not be affected by the cold.
Not long after they moved forward, Su Lun saw the appearance of the village, a small village built of wooden houses.
The village does not look very big from the outside, because of the population, most people here have similar houses.
Su Lun watched from behind, he has turned back into human form, so there is no need to worry about being discovered.
It wasn't long before they approached the village, and Su Lun had a certain understanding of the place.
There were not many people in this village, but they were all very strong, and everyone was quite powerful.
This was also within Su Lun's expectations, because this location was too dangerous, and the monsters on the ice field might run back, not to mention that there were a large number of beasts in the surrounding jungle.
Su Lun followed Cook into the village, and the situation in the village was a little different from what he imagined.
The walls of the houses in the village were painted with various symbols, which reminded him of a primitive human being, a primitive human being in the period.
The surrounding residents were also dressed very casually, and many people covered their bodies with leaves.
Su Lun felt that this place was like a fusion of primitive tribes and feudal villages, which looked very strange.
"The people here are far away from the great kingdom of humans, and may not be very clear about the situation in the world. They may degenerate if they are isolated in the wild for a long time."
Su Lun roughly knew what the situation was here. Because they had been away from human society for too long, they gradually returned to the life of hunting. Villagers who planted food were rarely seen, and most of them were mainly hunting.
Cook talked to the people in the village for a few words, and his companion was immediately taken away by the villagers. There were not many people here, so most people should know each other.
Cook said to Su Lun: "You are not from the village. If you want to stay in the village, I will take you to see the village chief."
He really wanted to introduce Su Lun to the village chief, because he envied the ability shown by Su Lun.
Su Lun nodded. He had to investigate the dark elves and could not avoid this village, so it was good to meet the village chief.
Under the leadership of Cook, he walked through several streets and finally came to a place similar to an altar.
There was an elder with various patterns painted on his body in front.
Cook talked to the elder for a few words, and the elder immediately came to Su Lun and asked: "Dear sir, we are all the people of the beast god. I hope you can accept our hospitality."
Although the news here is not well-informed, they still know the existence of blood, so Su Lun immediately became tall in their eyes. Su Lun nodded without refusing.
After getting a positive answer, the elder immediately began to prepare to entertain Su Lun.
At night.
The villagers gathered outside the altar. There were many people sitting outside. The whole village gathered here. There were about 20 people in total.
The village chief asked everyone to gather together. They were all from the same tribe. The tribe sat in a semicircle. In the middle were the two most distinguished people in the tribe, the village chief and a man whose identity was unknown.
The village chief was a strong man with a muscular body. He looked very strong. He was wearing a tiger skin coat and had a terrible scar on his face.
He held a cane representing the leader in his hand. It was a cane made of the skull of some animal and a wooden stick tied together.
Sitting next to him was a witch named Wu Zhu, an elderly female elder. Her face was full of wrinkles and she looked a little old. She wore an ornament made of bird feathers on her head and her body was covered with various strange symbols of unknown meaning.
The person sitting next to him looked like a wizard. This kind of person is usually an elder with extensive experience. In the village, he is equivalent to a doctor. Because he has lived for a long time, he has mastered a lot of knowledge passed down by the elders. For example, he can use herbs to treat illnesses.
Su Lun also sat cross-legged on the side, waiting for the leader to distribute food.
In fact, they had eaten some before, and they were not looking forward to the food distributed by the village. Instead, other people were whispering to each other, guessing how much food they would get today. This is also the norm in this village.
Su Lun's eyes swept over these people one by one. Most of them were very thin, and only a few warriors were stronger.
The village chief stood up and said loudly: "Today, an adult came to the village."
This was an ordinary news. Everyone was boiling after hearing what the chief said. Su Lun had no idea why. He didn't expect that the bloodline inheritor was so respected here.
At this time, a totem pole appeared in the village, right in the middle of the altar.
He thought it was just a carved totem with symbolic meaning, but he didn't expect that the totem began to glow and looked like something unusual.
The village shouted loudly: "It is the sacred object in the tribe. The arrival of the adults has caused the sacred object to react!"
He was very surprised, and the people in the surrounding villages were also very surprised.
Su Lun frowned and looked at the totem pole. He felt something was wrong. He thought that the village was just hospitable, so he stayed here to investigate, but now it seems that the village chief has some special purpose for keeping him here.
Su Lun sat aside and was on guard. He didn't want anything to happen here.
But what Su Lun expected didn't happen. The village chief walked to the totem pole and started a strange dance. It seemed that there was nothing wrong.
"Am I thinking too much?"
Su Lun shook his head, but he didn't let down his guard.
But there must be something wrong with the totem pole, otherwise it wouldn't emit light.
After the dance, a lot of food was brought up, including the living creatures and various beasts that had just been captured.
Their food couldn't be so delicate. Most of it was roasted with fire.
Su Lun found that this place was almost the same as the tribe of primitive people. When he stayed in the frost giant tribe, the situation here was somewhat similar.
Su Lun looked at the people in the village, and finally his eyes fell on the man who looked like a wizard.
This wizard was not a wizard who could cast spells, but a kind of witch who could use vicious witchcraft to harm people in rumors. However, this only existed in rumors, and Su Lun had never seen it.
