Chapter 860

When the light in the East began to shine, zero woke up. Pushing the door out of the house, the whole assak village is full of the smell of busyness. Some women asaks are cooking food, while men pull a lot of ready-made wood from outside the village for fire. Their life is still very primitive and they don't use special tools. The food was thrown into several large pots, and the bottom was a stone stove.

But zero clearly remembers that the powerful crossbow used by Gog is not primitive at all. The shooting speed and penetration force that makes the sharp blade Hunter unresponsive can only be achieved after being driven by a special system. It is reasonable to say that the assak people lived long before the time of this primitive tribe.

"Are you interested in our life?" Gog came out of the house and saw zero looking at the village under the tree.

Zero smiled: "understanding the life of an ethnic group is conducive to understanding its habits, so as to make better communication. I think so."

Gog showed a thoughtful expression: "what you said is very reasonable. You can really see many habits and traces of an ethnic group from the living habits. But now there are not many humans like you who are willing to communicate with us. Otherwise, there would not be so many wars."

Zero head agrees that disputes between humans and other races may originate from the lack of resources. But this will not be the only fuse. More importantly, it comes from the mutual resistance, mistrust and even the final outbreak of war between two different life forms.

"They will deliver the food soon. If you want to know more, come with me." Gog waved and invited zero into his house.

In addition to Gog, there is another assak woman in the tree house, which should be Gog's wife. To be honest, zero still can't distinguish between men and women in Isaac. Only from the appearance, their difference is not big. Women are shorter than men, but their external characteristics are almost the same. What Gog said to his wife in his tribal language, the woman nodded and withdrew from the tree house.

A moment later, she came in with a wooden plate containing some cooked pork chops. After putting down the plate of food, Gog's wife left again, leaving only two people in the room.

Gog picked up a piece of steak and sent it to his mouth: "eat."

Zero looked at the plate. There were no other eating tools on it except meat chops. And judging from the quality of the steak, it doesn't even have any seasoning, it's just cooked. He picked a small one and put it in his mouth to chew. I only feel that the meat is rough and the fiber is thick, which is difficult to swallow. In addition, there is no seasoning, let alone meat flavor, and even a kind of bitterness melts in the mouth.

Just out of politeness, zero still ate this steak. Seeing this, Gog laughed: "you humans must not be used to our food, let alone you. Even other clans, especially Amanda, are very puzzled about our tradition."

The asak patriarch looked solemn and said, "but they forgot how hard we survived on this land after the great disaster and what price we paid to have today's scale. Too comfortable days have made them gradually forget their nature, especially the special lineage of Amanda people, which has gradually brought their habits and life closer to the human side."

After a pause, he added: "of course, I'm not saying that such a change must be bad. It's just that we asaks maintain a primitive life out of our own habits, so as to warn people not to relax their vigilance towards the world."

Gog stood up and found a leather bag from a box in the house, which was the only thing in the whole wooden house that could be used to put things. The bag was tied tightly with a rope made of straw. Gog threw it to zero and said, "this is Ba Jin, the patriarch of Amanda. The gift given to me last time I met said it was a natural miracle that can make food delicious. I haven't been able to use it. I'll use it for you."

Zero open, there are some salt like powders in it. They were sprinkled on one of the pork chops, and the powder quickly penetrated into the meat. With one more bite, the meat became less rough, and had a salty taste and a faint smell of licorice. Sure enough, the taste of the food became delicious.

At this time, the sound of birds flapping their wings outside the room. Gog went out and saw that the big black Falcon fell into Gog's hand. The Falcon chirped, and zero noticed that its cry had some regularity. After barking three times, Gog waved his hand and it flew away. Asak patriarch looked at zero and said, "there is news from the holy temple. They agree to let you participate in the battle of hundred war warriors!"

Zero one sign, things went a little beyond his expectation.

At the same time, at the foot of the Heishan mountain, two figures walked next to each other. When he came to the Bank of the great lake, one of the short figures stopped. The man lifted the hat of his cloak and revealed a young face. Another tall man came up, pressed his head and said, "what are you thinking, girotan?"

"Father, that..." jilutan raised his head: "why did the black owl go there in person? He is the elder of the shadow family and the strongest soldier of the whole shadow family. Is he just going to defeat zero?"

"I don't think it's that simple." Ba Jin, the patriarch of Amanda, simply sat down, lifted his hat, scratched his head and said, "the black owl has always been a gloomy man, and it's rare for him to fight with others. It's always strange to be so positive now. However, during the time you left, there were some unconfirmed rumors from the shadow clan."

Girotan's sign: "what rumors?"

"The shadow clan is coming to an end," Ba Jin said softly.

But this sentence, like thunder, flashed in girotan's ear: "how, how can it be like this?"

"I don't know if it's true or false? It seems that he was abandoned by the God of darkness. Now most of the shadow clan can't afford to be sick, and only the black owl still acts as usual." Ba Jin picked up a stone and threw it into the lake: "There's a saying in human beings, it's not without reason. It's not surprising that the shadow clan will have such rumors. One is that in the past two years, except for the black owl, no other shadow clan has moved around, although their number is not large; the second is that since the human girl you brought used the seeds of that year, the shadow clan has not given us seeds in the past two years Stop talking about the holy medicine. "

Girotan opened his eyes wide and said softly, "if the rumor is true, once the shadow family falls..."

"The holy temple is over." Ba Jin said his heart for his son: "I think the black owl can't wait to go out on his own this time. I'm afraid it's not as simple as defeating your human friend. What he's thinking is not what I can think of."

Girotan closed his eyes. A moment later, he said, "father, hold an adult ceremony for me when you go back."

"What?"

Ba Jin didn't believe his ears. He looked at his son and said, "you finally..."

"Now, the situation will become very complicated, whether it is human or us. Anyway, I am also a member of Amanda. Maybe..." girotan looked into the water. From the water of the holy lake, he seemed to be able to see the silver haired figure. Just a wind blew, which soon dispersed the man's shadow in the lake: "Maybe it's time for me to grow up."

In the afternoon, we can see that a simple challenge arena has been set up in the center of the village. After receiving the news of the holy temple this morning, Gao Ge ordered his people to set up a challenge arena. It was said that there would be a hundred war warrior competition, and the asak people who advocated courage and strength were very excited. The men poured into the woods, put down the towering trees and cut them into pieces The logs are dragged back, and then the hexagonal challenge arena is built with wood and straw rope in an upward time.

The two totem poles placed on the altar were also moved to the southeast corner of the challenge arena. The totem poles were inserted into the ground and pressed and fixed with stones. When these were completed, the assaks burst out excited cries.

Gog nodded to zero, indicating that he could start.

Zero took off the tactical kit used for camouflage. Finally, he even changed his tactical clothes and put on the assak's animal skin vest and jacket. Gog's wife personally put on zero's shoes woven with straw rope, and then mixed tree juice and lime into paint. He painted a circular totem on zero's forehead. Gog told zero that every time he defeated an assak warrior, his totem would be changed One more. When his whole body is covered with a hundred totems, he is the whole black earth, a hundred war warrior that all alien races must recognize.

Zero speechless, the totem on dare feeling also plays the role of scoring.

He followed Gog down the tree house and came to the village arena. The arena was full of assak men who could challenge zero at any time. As for women, they stayed in the tree house like Gog's wife and watched the event silently.

Zero is a human being, and the assak people have no good feelings for human beings. But they respect warriors. No matter whether zero can eventually become a hundred war warrior, the courage to come to the assak village alone and stand in the challenge arena will win their respect.

Gog and zero stood on the challenge arena together. He held zero's hand high, roared a few times in tribal language, and said to zero, "you can start."

The ceremony was ridiculously simple, which should also be related to the simple style of the assak people. When you enter the countryside, do as the Romans do, and nodded in agreement. Gog quietly said, "if you can beat 99 people, I'll fight you myself."

"It won't make you wait too long," zero said.

When Gog stepped down, it meant that the fight could begin. But what made zero laugh and cry was that the assak people competed to take the stage to compete with themselves. However, in the tradition of hundred war warriors, only one person could be challenged at a time, so the assak almost fought by themselves in order to compete for who was the first to take the stage. Finally, Gog stopped them, and then a person dressed like a priest asked someone to carry them out A large pot filled with skulls of various creatures. At a glance, I saw that most of them were animal bones, and a few were asak skulls. These skulls were painted with black paint, but most of them were blank.

Under the shouting of the priest, the assaks gathered around the pot and grabbed a skull. Those who caught the symbol on the skull shouted excitedly, while those without the symbol were dejected.

Zero was relieved that they were drawing lots.
