Ye Youyou's words stunned the hunters around him, and then Artai smiled bitterly and said: "Who is your husband? We don't care who your husband is?"
After Atai finished speaking, he looked behind him and signaled for all the young strong men to drive them away. At this time, the old woman also became eclipsed. Even if she wanted to, she couldn't control so many people, so she had to retreat silently.
Behind the crowd.
The priest saw this and shouted sternly: "Just now I was praying to the gods for the safari, and you interrupted me for no reason. Now you have not only ruined my prayers, but you may have also angered the gods. I advise you to leave here quickly, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
Not worth it."
Ye Youyou couldn't control herself when she saw the situation in front of her. No matter what she said, these people would not believe it. She looked anxiously at Wang Ningning beside her.
She nodded, then took out the red gun behind her and smashed it hard in front of her feet. In an instant, countless purple circles of light spread around her, spreading to the outside like ripples on the water.
The strong men standing in front of them were shocked when they saw it, and big beads of sweat fell from their foreheads.
Atai took a calm look and asked calmly: "When you came here, I knew you were Qi cultivators. What? Knowing that we are just ordinary people, you want to kill us all?"
Atai was fearless and stood in front of all the hunters, holding his head high and the crossbow in his right hand creaking loudly.
When the old woman saw it, she hurriedly said: "A Tai, don't be impulsive. Since you are a Qi cultivator, it's easy to negotiate. Why are you so reckless and have the same temperament as your father!"
"Don't forget, you still have a baby, and there's a safari behind you!"
Artai didn't want to listen to his mother's dissuasion, so he stepped forward and said loudly: "If you two want to kill each other, please do as you please, don't make any pretense to scare us!"
Ye Youyou couldn't stand it when she saw Atai's resignation, so she used her own energy to tear up her throat and shouted: "You all shut up!"
"My intention just now is very clear. I want to take you to the north of Xihuan to get you out of the predicament in the south. And my husband is the close disciple of the Academy Master, Zhou Tian! He is now the sect leader of Xuantian Sect. You
If you don’t believe it, you can ask around. Even if there are no residents in the south, you can still know something about it on the north-south border!"
"You still don't believe me when I say this!"
After hearing this, Atai looked at each other with the people around him, then crossed his arms in front of his chest and said expressionlessly: "We still know about Xuantian Sect. The disciples of Tianjian Sect came here last time and said it, but
What you say is unfounded, do you have any real evidence?"
"We are hunters, not you Qi cultivators. Once we are deceived, go with you, and then fall into the hands of their Haotian Pavilion, you know better than me what the outcome will be! There are only less than a hundred hunters.
Yu Ren, I can't take the risk and let everyone follow you two women to the north!"
At this time, Ye Youyou had made his words very clear, but these hunters still refused to believe it. At this time, Wang Ningning stood up with a gun: "Now Youyou's husband is in the north, how can we prove it? How can we prove that,
You are the only ones who believe us?"
After hearing this, Artest turned around and discussed with everyone behind him. At this moment, there were no stars in the sky, and even the moon had disappeared. Between the sky and the earth, there was only this pile of bonfires, and the rest was dark.
A piece of paint.
Wang Ningning looked at Ye Youyou firmly and nodded, because she knew in her heart that only she could bring a sense of security to Youyou. If she also felt that there was no hope, then Youyou's heart would probably collapse.
After a while, Artest and several strong men behind him walked up.
"We have discussed it. These few people around me and I can go with you. If what you say is true, we will come back and notify the rest of the people to go. If what you say is false, we people will have nothing to lose.
, as long as our children are here, there is hope for the safari!"
After hearing this, Ye Youyou and Wang Ningning nodded one after another: "Okay, let's set off after tonight. Since you have chosen to leave, don't delay any longer. The death of the Tianjian Sect disciple has happened for several days.
If we delay for some more time, things will get worse!"
Wang Ningning originally wanted to stay for a few more days, but Youyou's attitude was very tough, so she didn't say anything. She glanced at Artai and the others out of the corner of her eye.
"We are not a problem. As long as you decide when, we will leave, even now, it doesn't matter."
Wang Ningning raised her head and looked at the moon, but saw nothing. She shook her head and said, "Now? Forget it, such a dark sky, and Haotian Pavilion is famous for crows and black gas, it is a good time for them to hide, in case they are caught
They are trapped, what should we do?”
"In my opinion, it's better to leave early tomorrow morning and have a good night's rest first."
After all, the safari thought the same way, so he said to Ye Youyou: "Your companion is right, let's set off tomorrow morning and rest for a while."
Ye Youyou nodded.
Then, just as Wang Ningning and Wang were about to leave the bonfire, the old woman grabbed their arms again.
"Girls, don't worry. Although the sky is dark, it's still early. There's no need to rush to bed. South of Xihuan, the day and night cycle is a bit slow. Generally, the night is longer, so there's no need to rush to sleep."
"As an old lady, I would like to ask you a few more questions. I wonder if I can tell you."
Looking at the kind face of the old woman, Wang Ningning wanted to drag Ye Youyou away, because she felt that although this woman was very sensible, the more she knew, the more Atai knew. Instead, she felt that there was something wrong with her.
trouble.
But Ye Youyou is kind and lovely in nature, and has no hostility towards anyone, let alone an old woman.
So she turned her head and said softly to Wang Ningning: "Sister Ning, please go back and rest first. Since she wants to know all this, just tell her."
Wang Ningning always thought that Ye Youyou didn't know the sinister nature of people's hearts. She shook her head: "I can't control what you want to say to her, but I must stay by your side. Look at those men by the bonfire. They don't look good.
Thing, I can’t worry about leaving you here alone.”
Ye Youyou smiled slightly, and then said to the old woman: "Whatever you want to ask, just ask. I will tell you everything I know and can tell you."
Seeing that she was so reasonable, the old woman touched her shoulders again with her wrinkled hands and said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing. I just want to ask which one is more powerful, the Xuantian Sect and the Tianjian Sect. If
If you really take refuge in Xuantian Sect, can those guys from Haotian Pavilion be able to handle it?"
Wang Ningning heard her ask, snorted, and then asked disdainfully: "Grandma, you are an ordinary old woman, why are you so interested in these things? Your son Atai should have asked you to ask these questions.
Bar?"
Wang Ningning was smart enough to guess the old woman's real purpose at a glance, but when the old woman heard her asking, her face suddenly darkened.
"You don't know that Atai is now the backbone of the entire hunter community south of Xihuan. Think about how desolate it is to be thousands of miles away and desolate. Ten years ago, there were more than a thousand of us hunters, but now we have no one."
There are only a few less than a hundred people left. If you are not careful, it will be a devastating blow. What Artai asked me to ask is actually what I want to know. Please tell me the truth."
While the old woman was talking, she burst into tears. Seeing her crying and sad look, Ye Youyou patted her shoulders and said to Wang Ningning: "Sister Ning, it's okay, they should want to know the truth.
."
Then she told the old woman everything about Zhou Tian and his wife, as well as what happened between them, and even Zhou Tian's past over the years.
From late at night to dawn, neither of them fell asleep. From being sleepy to full of energy, Ye Youyou didn't feel tired at all. Instead, she talked about Zhou Tian's affairs with great interest, and became more and more energetic as she talked.
After listening, the old woman suddenly became enlightened and gained a new understanding of Zhou Tian and Ye Youyou. Atai, who was eavesdropping, also had some respect for Zhou Tian in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, in the early morning of the next day, Wang Ningning, who had fallen by the bonfire, sat up suddenly and saw that Ye Youyou and the old woman had fallen asleep. It was obvious that it was warmer next to the bonfire than in the tent.
She stood up slowly, for fear of disturbing them, picked up a few remaining firewood and put them into the bonfire. The sound of the wood being roasted made the old woman turn over and sit up.
Youyou also opened her sparse eyes and stretched.
"Are you all awake? I didn't expect sleeping on the ground to be so peaceful. This is my first time, haha."
Ye Youyou smiled stupidly, but Wang Ningning rolled her eyes and muttered: "Humph, you silly girl, what's the point of sleeping outside? I think you just want to see Junior Brother Zhou Tian, you're going crazy."
The old woman stood up and looked into the distance, and couldn't help but sigh: "Please look at us hunters. We started looking for food again early in the morning, but they knew very well that there was no longer any place south of Xihuan.
It was difficult to find any food or even water, but they never gave up any hope..."
After hearing this, Wang Ningning and Ye Youyou also stood up and looked around and couldn't help but sigh: "Nowadays, there are too many people like you in the entire Qi Cultivation Continent, and they were all harmed by that damn Ancestor Haotian.
If it weren't for them, the entire world would be ruled by the Shang Kingdom, and the Shang Emperor would never let tribes like you be displaced!"
Wang Ningning kept talking to herself.
At this time, Artest walked over slowly and treated his mother with the courtesy of a safari: "Mom, we are about to set off. When they come back from searching, we should set off. You must take care of yourself.
wait me back!"
Ye Youyou frowned and saw that Artai's dress was completely different from last night. There were many patterns painted on his face. Except for a pair of eyes, the other parts were either white or red. It looked very eerie.
"What's your makeup like?"
When the old woman heard Atai's farewell, not only was she not disappointed, but she said very happily: "Atai, don't worry, I and the rest of the clan will be waiting for your return, and your father will bless you in heaven."
smoothly!"
After saying that, she turned to Ye Youyou and smiled: "My son's makeup is the earliest makeup of the safari. It represents hope, but also represents strength and unyielding. It is the most friendly etiquette towards outsiders. They want to follow you.
To the north of Xihuan, this change is out of respect."
Ye Youyou listened and looked at it carefully. Although it was the habit of the tribe, she still couldn't accept it, so she turned to Wang Ningning and said: "Let's go and clean up briefly..."
About half an hour later, all the safari hunters who had gone out returned to their tents, and their makeup was put on one after another.
Then we came to the outside of Atai's tent. Although there were many tents here, the largest tent among them still belonged to Atai, and as the leader of the clan, it was natural for him to do so.
In the tent, Wang Ningning and Ye Youyou have been waiting for a long time.
Artai glanced at them again expressionlessly, and said casually: "This time we are going to the north of Xihuan with you two. We don't know what we will encounter. If we are chased by Haotian Pavilion, you don't have to worry about it.
I just need to find a chance to come back and tell my mother, this is my token, as long as I show it, the safari will believe you unconditionally."
Immediately, he handed a pendant around his neck to Ye Youyou.
She took a closer look and found that the pendant was a crescent-shaped sapphire. Although she didn't know what it represented, its weight made her afraid to hold it.
"This? You should wear it yourself. Sister Ning and I will do our best to protect you. Don't worry about this."
After that, they wanted to return the pendant to him, but Artai refused to accept it and continued to say to them: "You can accept it. As Qi cultivators, your lives are more important than ours. If there is an emergency,
situation, we will fight to the death to protect your safety."
Ye Youyou wanted to continue speaking, but Artai held out his hand to stop him: "Let's do it like this. You two please go out and wait for a while while I have a few more words with my mother."
Ye Youyou had no choice but to temporarily exit the tent with Wang Ningning. After walking out of the tent, he saw that there were already people standing outside the tent, and their makeup was exactly the same as Atai's.
Wang Ningning took a look, lay on Ye Youyou's shoulder and whispered: "I have heard Master tell the stories of some tribes in the world before, but this is the first time for this hunter to hear about it. You must be careful when you set out later.
The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, so don’t let anything happen to you!”
"Also! Once we find out that they have evil intentions, we must deal with them firmly and firmly without leaving any room for error."
After hearing this, Ye Youyou always felt that she was being alarmist, so he smiled and said softly: "Don't worry, they are just ordinary hunters, and the weapons they use are only javelins, sticks, and bows and crossbows. Even if they really have anything
Even if you have intentions, they are no match for us..."
Seeing her absent-minded state, Wang Ningning always felt that something was wrong.
Suddenly she remembered something, but was interrupted by Artest behind her.
Atai ran out and said to the followers in front of him: "Listen carefully, let's set off now. Everyone on the road will obey these two girls. If anyone makes trouble, don't blame me, Ainutai."
