Chapter 200 Mountain and Sea Tribe
After a short rest, Qin Mo did not dare to stay for long. He summoned the yellow bird and continued to head south.
The yellow bird was panicking...
In the blink of an eye, the four little friends were sent to hell by their cruel master.
It's really brutal.
Sure enough, being ridden by the master is still somewhat useful...
Sitting on the back of the yellow bird, Qin Mo began to recall what he had learned about the situation in the southern part of the Warring States subcontinent.
The southeastern coast south of the Chu State was mainly the sphere of influence of the Baiyue Alliance, which, from north to south, were Ouyue, Ganyue, Minyue, Liyue, Western Ouyue, and Luoyue.
In the middle is the South China Sea Kingdom.
There are also many Miao and Liao people living in the surrounding area.
When the tribal alliance of Baiyue was at its peak, its influence extended to Da Nang in Annan in the south, Langya in the north, and Yunnan and Guizhou in the west, and its area was equivalent to the total area of the seven Central Plains countries at that time.
For a time, the country was extremely powerful and dominated the world.
King Gou Jian of Yue also became one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and enjoyed a glorious time.
However, after Gou Jian's death, his descendants became weaker and weaker. The ninth king of Yue, Wu Jiang, was even killed by the State of Chu, leaving the Baiyue people leaderless.
The alliance collapsed.
To this day, the Baiyue tribal states are fighting each other.
Qin Mo's original plan was to use strong means to directly intimidate the Nanyue Kingdom in the Lingnan region, occupy its place, and then use Nanyue as a base to expand in the east and west directions.
After unifying the Baiyue, we will compete with the countries in the Central Plains.
However, his strength is now damaged and he is being wanted by the Qin State. He wants to be arrogant, but he is powerless. He can only settle for the second best and choose a weak tribe in Nanyue to attack.
First conquer a piece of territory and gain a firm foothold.
…
To the south of Nanyue, there is a place called Chuting, which is close to the South China Sea and has fertile land and beautiful mountains and rivers.
There is a tribe in the south of Chuting, named Shanhai. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The population of the tribe exceeds 10,000. It is considered a relatively famous large tribe in the Chuting area.
But this day was a gloomy one for the Shanhai tribe.
Five days ago, the tribal chief Heiyan led a hunting team out for hunting. They encountered a sixth-grade monster, the Teng Snake, and all of them were buried in the snake's belly.
The most elite warriors of the Shanhai tribe were all killed in one day.
A huge bonfire was lit in the tribal square, and the surviving tribesmen were cremating the bodies of the dead, dancing ancient dances and praying to God according to tribal traditions.
The wizard Black Earth stood in the front.
Everyone's expression was very heavy, not only because of the death of their compatriot, but more importantly, they were worried about their own future and destiny.
In South Vietnam, the tribes followed the most primitive rules of survival.
The news of the annihilation of the Shanhai tribe's hunting team will surely spread to the surrounding tribes soon, and they will become a delicacy in the eyes of the surrounding tribes.
According to the ancient traditions among the tribes, women will be abducted, the elderly and children will be hacked to death, and middle-aged men will be reduced to slaves and put in shackles.
No one is immune.
"O almighty divine bird, please protect your people!" The wizard Heitu kept praying, with a big flag erected in front of him.
On the flag, a giant yellow bird was painted with paint mixed with animal blood.
Spread your wings and fly.
That is the totem of the Shanhai tribe.
One of the important reasons why the Baiyue people were regarded as was that they still insisted on totem worship.
In Middle-earth, however, people have long since turned to ancestor worship.
"Ah~~~"
At this moment, a clear whistle like a phoenix was heard in the air.
Everyone looked up and saw a huge yellow bird flying towards the distant sky with its wings spread. Under the sunlight, it looked sacred and inviolable.
"A divine bird, a divine bird has descended to the world!!!"
The wizard Heitu was the first to react. He was shaking with excitement and crawling on the ground.
Crash~~~
Everyone knelt down and welcomed the arrival of the divine bird with the most pious hearts.
Everyone was so excited.
It’s like seeing a new life.
On the back of the yellow bird, Qin Mo held the Jiuzhou Ding in one hand and looked at the tribe below with a puzzled expression. Since entering the territory of Nanyue, the Jiuzhou Ding he refined has moved, guiding him all the way to this place.
There seems to be some opportunity.
"Ah~~~~"
The yellow bird landed in the square. Qin Mo was bewildered as he looked at the barbarians kneeling on the ground.
"Did you receive any instructions?"
It made him feel a little guilty.
The wizard Heitu was the first to look up. Seeing the heroic posture of the yellow bird, he became even more excited. After taking a closer look, he noticed Qin Mo on the back of the yellow bird.
His expression froze instantly.
At this moment, the wizard Heitu's worldview was completely shattered, and he cried out in his heart: "How can a divine bird be ridden by someone?!"
It was said to be sacred and inviolable.
The wizard Heitu was about to get angry and order that the man who blasphemed the divine bird be torn into pieces, but then he sensed the supreme pressure released from Qin Mo.
His heart stagnated and his expression froze.
Deep down in my heart, it felt like there were ten thousand alpaca horses galloping.
Seeing that he could not win the fight head-on, and worried that Qin Mo would kill them all in a rage, the wizard Heitu immediately gave in, and with an idea, he bowed his head and said, "Welcome the divine bird messenger!"
"The divine bird messenger?"
The tribesmen were all puzzled, but seeing how devout the great wizard was, they subconsciously followed him in worshipping.
Some people also noticed Qin Mo's pressure.
Worship more devoutly!
Qin Mo felt amused and subconsciously released his soul to scan the Shanhai Tribe inside and out. He noticed the hanging totem flag and immediately understood what was going on.
Unexpectedly, the yellow bird became his lucky star.
…
That night, under the chairmanship of the wizard, the Shanhai tribe took out the little remaining meat, spiritual fruits and fine wine and held the most grand bonfire party.
Welcome the arrival of the divine bird and its messenger.
People were singing and dancing, their faces filled with excitement and joy, completely forgetting that the ashes of the chief Heiyan and the hunting team's warriors were still hot.
Wait till the banquet is over.
The wizard Heitu personally led Qin Mo to where they were staying - the stone house where the former chief Heiyan lived, which was also the most luxurious mansion in the tribe.
Before leaving, the wizard Heitu also brought the most beautiful and pure girl in the tribe to Qin Mo's room and said sincerely: "Master Messenger, how about letting Yexiao sleep with you tonight?"
Qin Mo flatly refused.
The wizard's expression froze, and Night Owl was about to cry.
"But the night owl cannot enter the eyes of the messenger?" asked the wizard Heitu cautiously.
Qin Mo nodded: "Yes, it's too ugly."
wizard:"……"
Night Owl: “(〒︿〒)”
Wow~~~
I couldn't hold it back any longer, tears started to flow, and I ran away...
The great wizard was left disheveled in the wind.
The young men of the tribe who were guarding outside saw this and said with regret and amazement: "An envoy is an envoy. He is really well-informed. He doesn't even like a beauty like Ye Xiao."
It was considered a strange story at the time.
…
night.
In the quiet room, Qin Mo sat cross-legged and carefully checked his injuries, finally stabilizing himself temporarily.
The day's start was perfect. He was still worried about how to take over the tribe and become the chief after finding a tribe.
Too soft or too hard, neither seems to be suitable.
Qin Mo could naturally kill the patriarch and then kill all those who were dissatisfied, but that would set a very bad precedent and lay the tone for bloody rule.
Leaving a huge hidden danger for the future.
But if he doesn't resort to force, what virtue and ability does Qin Mo have to make others give up the position of clan leader?
It's not like he's the chosen one.
Who could have thought that the Jiuzhou Ding would lead him to such a tribe, whose totem was not only a yellow bird, but also whose chief had died mysteriously, leaving the position vacant.
It's really not too easy.
This is just the surface.
Qin Mo didn't believe that Jiuzhou Ding had taken the trouble to guide him here just for the position of clan leader. There must be something else strange going on.
Tomorrow he plans to have a good look around the tribe.
…
The next day.
After a simple breakfast, Qin Mo was taken by the wizard Heitu to visit the ancestral temple.
The ancestral temple was built on a hill outside the city. It was built entirely with black rocks. Although it was called a temple, it was actually an open-air place with no walls or roof.
In the middle is a square fire pit, with flames burning all year round.
Behind the fire pit is a rock sculpture over 30 meters high. It is a divine bird with its wings spread out in flight. It blends seamlessly with the mountain behind it and appears lifelike.
Don't mention it.
At first glance, it does look somewhat like a yellow bird.
Qin Mo frowned, suddenly sensing a hint of hostility. Following the scent, he saw that the source was a black spear held in the claws of the divine bird.
It looks ordinary.
"What is this?" Qin Mo asked curiously.
The wizard Heitu said: "The origin of this item is mysterious. According to legend, the Shanhai tribe is one of the branches of the ancient Chiyou clan. This spear is the weapon that the ancient great wizard Chiyou once used."
"If that's the case, why doesn't anyone use it?" Qin Mo didn't believe it.
"It's not that we don't need it, it's that we simply can't lift it." The wizard smiled bitterly, "Although this spear is the same length as an ordinary spear, it is as heavy as a rock. Let alone using it, even the tribe leader's strongest man can't lift it at all."
“Is it that heavy?”
Qin Mo was now a little interested and asked tentatively: "Can I try?"
"If the messenger of God can pick up this gun, it proves that he has a destiny with this gun. So what's the harm in giving it to the messenger of God?" The wizard looked generous, but he was extremely confident in his heart.
The monk is powerful, but his strength is also average. How can he lift such a heavy weapon?
Qin Mo stepped forward, grasped the gun with his right hand, and with a little force, he pulled the gun out of the claws of the divine bird, and then performed a gun flower.
“…”
The wizard's face was dull and he stood there in a daze.
Little did they know that Qin Mo had made great progress in physical training and was naturally extremely strong. Even though the spear was heavy, estimated to be 3,650 kilograms, it was not a problem for him.
"It's just right for incarnation." Qin Mo was secretly happy.
He had previously been troubled by the fact that he did not have a suitable spear in his hand when he wanted to use his magical powers to control the heavens and the earth.
It's not here.
The opportunity that Jiuzhou Ding pointed out should be this thing.
Qin Mo was just about to try to see if the gun could become bigger when he heard a noise coming from the foot of the mountain.
After a while, a tribesman ran up the mountain, his face terrified, and said hurriedly: "Great Wizard, it's bad, the people from the Cangqing tribe are coming to kill us."
The wizard Heitu panicked and subconsciously looked at Qin Mo.
Qin Mo grinned.
