MTL - Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 251 Antelope people
Chapter 251 Antelope Man
The cold wind howled and raged on the plateau.
Ji Xinghuo rode on Qinghong's back and looked around. There was only an endless squally wind. The ground was covered with frost. Every mountain peak in his field of vision, no matter far or near, was covered with snow. The mountains were covered with frost. Fog, hard and magnificent.
…
He exhaled a breath of hot breath, rubbed his hands to bring a touch of warmth, and muttered: "What a **** weather!"
It has been ten days since we left Tianchui Cliff. In the middle of the "foggy month", the weather is getting colder and colder. Even in the daytime, it is only about minus ten degrees.
The low temperature is actually not bad, but the wind is too strong.
The biting cold wind was blowing on his body like a knife, but he was dressed as a Highlander. This armor had no effect of keeping warm at all. The only thing that was useful was a bearskin cloak, but it could only cover half of his body, and his beard was already covered with knots. of frost.
Although he won't get sick due to his strong body, he is still very uncomfortable.
“Damn it, I was blown away.”
Ji Xinghuo complained, tightened his cloak, and asked Qinghong to change direction and continue searching.
The electromagnetic induction continues, scanning the terrain and movements within a radius of five kilometers. Because the weather is getting colder, many beasts and monsters do not like to go out, or have begun to hibernate. When they are motionless, the difficulty of magnetic field resolution rises to a higher level, requiring more care.
These days, he found a lot of monsters, and he killed the ones he could, and gained some spiritual energy.
However, the Windstorm Beast was still not found.
The nights are getting longer and longer, and the starry night has been shortened to less than two hours. It is inconvenient to move at night, and the search time every day has also been reduced.
Efficiency is therefore reduced a lot.
At dusk, Ji Xinghuo still found nothing. Seeing that Jin Hui was about to disappear on the horizon, he decided to find a place to camp for the night.
It is colder at night than during the day, and the temperature can drop to minus 20 degrees Celsius.
"This is just the foggy moon." Ji Xinghuo shook his head, "There are frosty moon and cold moon behind it, it must be even colder."
He was searching for a suitable place to camp when a sudden thought made Qinghong walk a few kilometers forward.
In the distance, a tribe built at the foot of the peak appeared in view.
This tribe is very small, with a population of no more than 10,000. The houses built of stones and logs are quite exquisite and neatly planned. They are built in rows and rows along the mountains. There is also a stone wall outside the tribe, which is only about fifteen meters high. For the many alien races on the plateau, it is not very useful. They can easily climb over it, but there is a stone wall that can give people a sense of security. .
Ji Xinghuo looked through the cold wind and saw clearly the residents of the tribe.
“Antelope Man!”
“No wonder, this tribe looks different.”
The Antelope people are one of the foreign races on the Bloody Plateau, and there are quite a few of them. However, their racial talents are not as good as those of the Highlanders and Biao people, and their habits are not fierce enough, so they are in a weak position.
The most striking feature of this race is that everyone has a pair of horns on their heads. The shapes of the horns are different, including straight, curved, and spiral. There are all kinds of strange things.
Their skin is mainly gray, blue and purple. Both men and women have beards on their faces. Their legs are divided into three joints and have a short tail. They have excellent hearing and vision and are agile. Most of them walk on The evolution of speed and assassination.
The Antelope people believe in the star **** "Elk Prophet" and most of them have a peaceful personality.
They are also willing to contact foreigners.
Ji Xinghuo often saw the Lingjiao people on Tianhui Cliff, so he knew something about them.
“Perhaps we can get news about the Storm Beast.”
Ji Xinghuo thought for a while and decided to try his luck at the Antelope Man tribe. "Even if you can't find out, you can still spend a warm night in the tribe."
He jumped off the Qinghong and let it shrink and crawl into his waist bag.
Since he disguised himself as a highlander, he usually rides Qinghong, but whenever he encounters other people, he will ask Qinghong to hide in advance.
Ji Xinghuo stepped on the frost and braved the cold wind towards the Antelope tribe.
It was already dark, and there were fires in the tribe. As soon as he approached the stone wall, but still a hundred meters away, someone on the wall shouted loudly.
“Stop!”
Ji Xinghuo raised his head and saw several horned heads protruding from the stone wall, holding torches to illuminate the bottom, his face full of alertness.
“Highlander, what are you doing here?” asked a male Antelope man.
“Passing by, staying overnight.”
Ji Xinghuo deliberately lowered his voice and answered briefly in a deep voice.
Before he left the cliff, he had already mastered the language of the highlanders.
This is a branch of my university major, "Shinyarak", and I learned it easily, but my accent and colloquialisms were still a bit lacking, so I pretended to be taciturn and talked to as little as possible, so that I could get by.
The language of the Highlanders is not completely consistent. They have developed many dialects and there are many differences. Even if they speak incorrectly, it is difficult to spot them.
The Antelope people also speak a type of Sinyarak language, so they can communicate.
"Highlanders, you are not welcome in the Cangye tribe." The Antehorn guard on the stone wall shouted loudly, "You must leave within ten breaths, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."
Several guards showed their weapons.
"Well."
Ji Xinghuo bared his teeth and felt helpless.
With his **** tattoos, he looked like a bloodthirsty and murderous Red Emperor believer. The Antelope people were often massacred by Red Emperor believers, so naturally they would not let him in easily.
In fact, as long as you change your clothes, you will be fine, but the pigment used to disguise the tattoos penetrates into the skin and is not easy to wash off. It would be too troublesome to leave the tribe and have to pretend again, so I just came here to try my luck.
Since you’re not welcome, forget it. Ji Xinghuo said nothing and turned around to leave.
Just as his figure was about to enter the darkness, a voice came from the wall: "Guests from afar, please welcome to the Cangye tribe, please come in."
Ji Xinghuo looked back and saw that the person speaking was a female Antelope.
She is shorter than her tribe members, only about 1.6 meters tall. The horns on her head are spiral-shaped and stick to the sides of her head. She is wearing a simple fur robe. Although her age cannot be judged from her face, the snow-white chin on her lower jaw With her beard, it can be seen that she is not young.
“The prophet.”
The Antehorn guards around her were very respectful to her, but their faces were full of incomprehension.
"Open the door." The Antelope man, who was called the prophet, did not explain, but just waved his hand and ordered the guards to open the city gate.
After saying that, her figure disappeared.
Soon, the door under the stone wall was opened, and Ji Xinghuo walked into the tribe under the vigilant eyes of the Antelope guards.
“Highlander, follow me.” The Antelope man who refused just now said solemnly, “The Prophet asked me to arrange a place for you to spend the night.”
“Thank you.” Ji Xinghuo nodded.
He took a look at the opponent. This man with antelope horns was quite strong. He should have just been promoted to the fourth level. He was wearing a well-fitting leather armor and had two strange-shaped daggers stuck in his waist. His steps were light and almost silent when he moved. He was obviously a shadow blade. Or flying.
Walking in the Cangye tribe, Ji Xinghuo found that this place was different from other tribes on the plateau.
The most obvious thing is that it is extremely clean.
The ground is paved with stone slabs and cleaned frequently. The houses on both sides are neatly laid out. There is no garbage in front of each house. Drainage and sewage facilities are dug underground. Various flowers, plants and trees are planted on the streets, and small parks are built. Many young children Antelope people gather together and have fun.
Although it does not look developed, it feels very comfortable and the atmosphere in the tribe is also very relaxed.
The man who leads the way is very popular and most people know him.
“White light!”
“Uncle Baimang.”
The Antelope people he met on the road greeted him with a smile, but when he saw Ji Xinghuo behind Bai Mang, the smile on his face immediately froze and turned into fright.
Some Antehorn people screamed and stumbled away.
Some people immediately drew their weapons and asked sternly: "Bai Mang, what's going on? Why did you bring a Red Emperor believer into the tribe?"
"This is the order of the Prophet." Bai Mang explained.
Hearing that it was the prophet's intention, the Antelope Man's eyes became less frightened, but he still stared at Ji Xinghuo warily, his eyes full of hostility.
On the contrary, some young Antelope people had the courage to come up and observe Ji Xinghuo.
Some people even threw stones at Ji Xinghuo.
Bai Mang was startled and quickly stopped him. However, he was relieved when he found that Ji Xinghuo was not angry and there was no change in expression on his face.
Soon they arrived in front of a two-story stone house. Bai Mang said: "This is the only hotel in our tribe, used to receive foreign guests. You will stay here tonight, and you will have to pay for accommodation and meals."
Ji Xinghuo nodded.
Baimang took him into the hotel, where foreign guests were already staying, and several of them were sitting in the hall having a meal.
When they saw Ji Xinghuo walking in, their expressions changed slightly.
“Welcome distinguished guests!”
The innkeeper is an old Antelope man with a hoarse voice and a pair of straight long horns, but there is no abnormality on his face. He also showed Ji Xinghuo a warm smile.
“Uncle Gen, I’ll leave this highlander to you.” Bai Mang said a few words and left, obviously not wanting to stay in contact with a Red Emperor believer for too long.
The man named Genshu Lingjiao went on as usual and quickly arranged a room and dinner for Ji Xinghuo.
After closing the door, Ji Xinghuo looked at the simple but warm room and lay down on the bed, feeling quite comfortable. He washed off the stains accumulated on his body for ten days and put on the armor again, just as Uncle Gen personally delivered a fragrant barbecue into the room.
"Guests, please use your welcome." After Uncle Gen saluted, he was about to exit.
"Wait."
Ji Xinghuo stopped him. Uncle Gen's expression froze, but he immediately regained his smile and asked respectfully: "What else does the guest need?"
“Wind-blasting beast.”
Ji Xinghuo only said one word, but it was enough to express his meaning.
He took out a silver real dragon coin with a face value of one thousand from his waist bag and threw it to the Antelope Man standing at the door of the room.
Uncle Gen caught the True Dragon Coin and took a look at it. His face showed joy, but he was very embarrassed. He shook his head and said: "There are indeed wind beasts near our tribe. Young people often go out to look for them, but I haven't gone up the mountain for many years. I can't Give directions to guests.”
Ji Xinghuo said: "You find someone, and I will give you money."
"good."
Uncle Gen agreed. Although he was reluctant to give up, he still returned the True Dragon Coin in his hand, but Ji Xinghuo confiscated it, "Keep it."
“Praise for your generosity!” Uncle Gen left happily.
Ji Xinghuo had just finished dinner when someone knocked on the door. The innkeeper came in with an Antelope Man, who was the Bai Mang he had just seen.
"Highlander, I know where the Storm Beast is, but I can't take you there." Bai Mang said straight to the point as soon as he entered the room.
