The heavy footsteps are getting closer.

——Boom! ! !

Step on it, as if a muffled thunder blasted on the ground, and then the beech tree under Ye Xi's feet trembled twice as the leaves shook.

Where is this giant beast sacred, so that it can cause the earth to tremble?

Ye Xi was shocked in her heart, and more carefully condensed her breath.

With the sound of thunderous footsteps, the giant beast finally revealed the true face of Mount Lu-this is a huge creature like a rock mountain, covered with gray-black skin, like a rough rock wall, as it moves step by step When I came over, it was as if there were four legs growing under a rocky mountain.

The back of "Stone Mountain" was covered with moss, and even many vines grew in the folds of the skin, crawling like a chain.

There are many creatures parked on the back of this behemoth, red-brown foxes, clouded leopards covered with black spots, chirping birds, and even many giant dragonflies and other insects.

What surprised Ye Xi most was that on the back of this "Stone Mountain", there were three humans sitting on it, laughing and talking, completely ignoring the clouded leopard who was very close to them.

As the giant beast walked along, many small animals ran out from nearby and crawled on its back, "hitchhiking" one after another, but the giant beast continued to walk forward step by step as if it didn't feel it.

Ye Xi was stunned.

Are these creatures not afraid of such a big beast?

At this moment, Ye Xi heard the movement behind him. He immediately turned his head and found two giant scorpions crawling towards him quickly. When Ye Xi frowned and just pulled out the dagger, he saw them crawling to the top of the branches and rushing toward the giant beast, just on the back of "Stone Mountain".

"Oops!" Ye Xi secretly said that it was not good.

Sure enough, the next three people sitting on the "Stone Mountain" followed the direction where the scorpion pounced and saw Ye Xi hiding in the tree.

Looking at each other, everyone's eyes were wide and small.

After two seconds, one of the men in black animal skins waved to him and shouted: "Come on, what are you doing in a daze?"

The other two guys also waved and urged: "Hurry up!"

Ye Xi only hesitated for a while, bent his knees and made a beautiful leap, jumping onto the back of the giant beast.

——Boom! !

——Boom! ! Boom! !

Although the beast made a lot of movement, it walked very steadily. Ye Xi bypassed a group of little squirrels running around and walked to the three big men.

The big man in black animal fur greeted Ye Xi to sit down and saw his clothes in tatters, as if he had experienced countless battles, and asked: "Which clan kid are you, why are you here alone? You still have this look! "

Ye Xi looked at the three big men who suddenly appeared.

These three big men all looked in their forties, about the same age as Pu Taiyong, with thick beards on their faces, covering all their facial features, and wearing fitted animal skins, all of which looked like fierce animal skins.

The three big men didn't release their breath, Ye Xi couldn't feel their strength, but they must be fighters.

Ye Xi sat down cross-legged on the broad back of the giant beast, and answered without asking: "Is this giant beast your favorite?"

The man in black animal skin looked at him in surprise: "Of course not, this is Shi Azu!"

"Shi Azu?" Ye Xi raised an eyebrow.

"Did the elders in your clan tell you?" The black animal skin man asked in a puzzled manner. Seeing that Ye Xi hadn't heard of it, he explained, "Shi Azu is the behemoth under our feet, because it looks like Shishan, I don’t know how long it will live, and is older than our ancestors’ ancestors, so we all call it Shi Azu."

Live a long time? Ye Xi looked at the messy creatures around and asked, "Why are there so many creatures climbing up here?"

The big man explained patiently: "Shi Azu sometimes left his own territory to eat water and weeds in the lake. Because it has a gentle temperament, many things that want to go to the lake will jump up and let Shi Azu take a ride. There is Shi Azu. , No beast around dared to come up to provoke him."

"We were also lucky, and we ran into Shi Azu when we went out, and it happened to take us to the Tree Human Race."

Tree people?

Ye Xi was surprised, another term he had never heard before.

The **** animal skin guy asked, "Little guy, what's your name and which tribe are you from?"

"My name is Ye Xi, from the Tushan tribe."

"Tushan?"

The black animal skin was stunned, turned his head and looked at the other two companions, seeing that they were also blank.

Ye Xi: "Where are the three uncles?"

Black Beast Skin reacted and introduced himself: "My name is Black Thorn."

Pointing to the two companions next to him, he said, "The one with the scar on his face is called Chap, and the fat one next to him is called Yi Kuang. We are all from the skinning tribe."

Skinning tribe? !

Ye Xi thought he had heard it wrong: "What tribe?"

"Skinning the tribe is stripping the tribe!" The chubby Yi Kuang smiled and said to the black thorn. "The little guy is young. Maybe the elders in the tribe told him it was the skinning tribe."

Hei Thorn suddenly complained to Yi Kuang: "Our skinning tribe has been called the skinning tribe by everyone, so that we ourselves are used to calling ourselves the skinning tribe. As a result, the little boys are confused."

Ye Xi pushed the boat along the water and said: "Three uncles, forgive me, the younger generation really knows less."

Blackthorn gave him popular science: "We strip tribes and are good at skinning, so many tribes simply call us skinning tribes. In fact, we stripping tribes not only peel off animal skins, but also peel carapace, skin veins, nails and eyeballs. !"

Ye Xi's scalp tightened.

...Has he been perverted?

Yi Kuang said with a smile: "Our tribe’s skinning skills are good. We can peel off the skin of any animal completely without leaving a trace. Therefore, many people who want to make animal skins hunt precious prey. Will come to us, pay a certain reward and ask us to peel." The tone implies pride.

Ye Xi looked at the trio's animal skins. They were indeed intact. There were no traces of splicing. Moreover, the leather was light and the corners of the clothes were fluttering with the breeze, which looked very elegant.

Unlike the other two, the big man with a good face looks a little serious: "You came out sneakily? The elders in your clan were too careless and even let you come out alone. This forest is very dangerous. "

Ye Xi didn't speak, Na Yi Kuang smiled and hahad to complete the field: "The tree people are so lively this time, it's normal for the boys to be curious to want to go."

"Tree people?" Ye Xi heard this tree people again.

Yi Kuang was taken aback for a moment: "Don't you know that the tree people invited the nearby tribes to participate in the selection of the travellers this time?"

Ye Xi shook his head.

"Well, it's not a secret anyway. If the elders in your clan don't tell you, let me tell you." Yi Kuang shook his head.

"It is said that the tree people have a family of the same clan, and it was lost for some reason at a very early time~lightnovelpub.net~ and then it took root in the distance beyond the Nu River. This time, it is said that the patriarch of the tree people is about to die. Before I die, I want to know the news of the distant tribesmen, so I want to select three warriors from all our tribes and cross the anger river to find the same tribe and ask them the news."

This passage is very informative.

Ye Xi decided to ask one by one: "How far is the distance? Can it be found safely by three soldiers?"

Yi Kuang said: "I don't know how far it is. They can't tell where that tribe has fallen. Anyway, it's outside the Nu River. But after a while, there will be caravans crossing the Nu River to trade on the other side. Three fighters can do it. First, follow the caravan to the other side of the river. As for whether you can find the tree people, it depends on their ability."

Ye Xi thought for a while and said, "If the journey is far away, it would be difficult for the three fighters to reach it safely, right? Why doesn't the tree people look for it by themselves?"

Yi Kuang: "Although it is said to choose three people, there are actually three places. There is no limit to the number of people in each place. There is no limit to the number of people in each place. Anyway, the reward is only three points. It depends on how they are divided. As for why the tree people are themselves But go find it, of course it’s because they are slow! If they go, it’s hard to cross the river of anger."

Ye Xi heard the word Nuhe again and asked, "Where is Nuhe, and is it far away?"

The three looked at each other.

Cracked brows and frowned: "Boy, why don't you even know Nuhe, are you here?"

Ye Xi blinked innocently: "...No." 8)
