Chapter 36 Barbarian Followers
To obtain the crown of King Asan and find the precious documents he once studied the magical gems, Chen Yaogang needed to leave Roger's watch, walk a long way northwest, pass through the mass grave, and find the entrance to the ancient tomb.
King Asan, like most members of the royal family, fought desperately for power and territory when he was alive. When he began to choose heirs to the throne, he had already used the power of the magical gems and sent people to build a magnificent tomb for himself.
It is strange that Chen Yaogang knew that many kings in the history of the Dark Exile World had the act of building such large underground palaces.
These people were surprisingly unanimously considering themselves. They not only turned a blind eye to the poor people living in thatched huts, but also were indifferent to the desolate scene of broken and leaking houses in remote villages. They would rather spend a lot of manpower to dig underground palaces than improve the quality of life of ordinary people.
However, whenever demons invade or chaos breaks out, these underground palaces with a large number of corpses will immediately become a breeding ground for evil creatures. The bones of many people are desecrated, and their souls wander in the underground palace all day long and cannot be liberated. It is really hard to understand: Who is the use of humans for such a great underground palace?
I'm afraid even the scholars of Heratim were not very clear about who was the initiator of the giant underground palace, and Chen Yaogang could only rely on his memory and experience to set off for the underground palace of King Asan and get the key crown.
When Chen Yaogang was packing up, the barbarian who was responsible for working as a bodyguard for Kidman also had the intention of traveling with him. Once he heard that Chen Yaogang was going to perform dangerous tasks, these original barbarians with honors were more active than bounty hunters.
After Chen Yaogang forced the task to be arranged, Kidman's behavior of committing suicide was much less. Now Shana decided to withdraw taxes from him, and the basic contradictions in lifestyles between men and women were solved one by one.
Chen Yaogang looked at Leoke and Kolido: "Are you sure you want to go with me? Actually, stay at Rogue Watch. If you try to take on the reward mission, you can go to the blacksmith shop to change your armor. Your simple equipment configuration is easy to get hurt on the battlefield."
In exchange for this opportunity to travel with him, Leoke had obviously been tolerating Kidman for a long time. When he heard Chen Yaogang say this, his violent temper surged up again: "No, you should spare me. Let me stay with an imperial man who was quarreling to death. I almost couldn't help but want to kill him. I would rather go to the wild hunting demons and go to the arena to fight with others, and I wouldn't want to stay with such an imperial man."
Chen Yaogang hugged his arms and fell speechless: "Actually, you really don't have to treat Kidman as a human being..."
Kolido was also eager to try: "I was rescued by you once before, and now I live in your house again. I saw you lying in the battle for several days. I had enough strength but couldn't do anything for you. This is not in line with the spirit of a barbarian and made me feel a sense of humiliation and frustration. Please be sure to bring me the mission, at least I can try my best to protect your back in the battle. No matter how strong a person is, it has its limits. Don't say that we can't come in handy, right?"
After thinking about it, Chen Yaogang decided to give Leoke and Keli an extra chance. He happened to think that killing monsters was boring and boring, and it was actually good to have two minions to mix experience.
These barbarians are actually similar to Chen Yaogang. They have received cruel combat training since childhood and constantly conquered powerful beasts to train their courage. If they dragged their legs in the battle, Chen Yaogang would not need to remind them, the reckless heart of honor would immediately make them feel ashamed.
After preparing all the adventure materials, Chen Yaogang and his squad set off for the mass grave.
There are indeed many fewer monsters in the reef and wilderness than before. However, influenced by other demons, there are still many difficult monsters outside the reef and wilderness.
For example, there may be many water ghosts lurking between the streams, and some mutant water monsters affected by meteors are also difficult to deal with.
In the bush and woodlands in the northwest, there are also many monster groups such as goblins, werewolves, and sheep-headed monsters.
When a disaster breaks out, not only humans become living zombies. Many native races from other worlds also fell into madness in this chaotic baptism and produced a large number of changes.
...
Under the cloudy sky, the grasslands and trees in the wilderness seem to be in awe.
When Chen Yaogang and his group passed through the mass graves where corpses were everywhere, they cut over many monsters before they successfully entered the cemetery.
Originally, Chen Yaogang thought that he would be able to enter the underground palace before tonight and use various secret doors of the mechanism to quickly get the crown. However, when he encountered some accident on the way, a group of elite-level distorted porcupines blocked their way. During the battle, Leoke and Kolido were injured to varying degrees, and the poisonous porcupine was stabbed everywhere.
As a last resort, Chen Yaogang had to arrange to camp in the abandoned house of the gravekeepers to help them deal with the wounds.
Leoke pulled out the sting on his arm, sucked out the poisonous blood and vomited it aside. Kolido also sat on the bed board, pulled out the sting on his thigh, and treated the wound with great pain.
Looking at Chen Yaogang, who was moving sharply and without a scar on his body, the two barbarians looked like a ghost: they originally thought that after forming a team, they could see Chen Yaogang's muscle strength and see his heroic charge of slashing battle.
But in the actual battle, the two of them only felt that Chen Yaogang's attack methods were extremely cautious. He always gave priority to sneak attacks, and then quickly knocked down difficult enemies with a set of combos and never fought a protracted battle with monsters. As long as Leoke and Kolidou were in front to attract monster attacks, Chen Yaogang would stand in the back row and shoot wildly. Every arrow he had was very accurate, almost shooting at the critical point.
Compared to the barbarian warriors in the tribe who wield giant weapons, Chen Yaogang is more like a jungle ranger. Unless he is sneak attacked by a monster, it is difficult to see him attack with that big sword.
And it is very commendable that Chen Yaogang's combat strength is extremely experienced. No matter what monster it is, he can always give an early warning accurately. When Leoke and Kolido enjoyed sweat and pain, challenging various enemies along the way, someone kept staring at their backs, making them feel as if the commander of the tribe was hunting with them.
Because Chen Yaogang's timing was perfect, the two of them had never seen him shoot once along the way.
But the strange thing is that Chen Yaogang seemed to have a great understanding of this area. He was struggling with the enemy's weaknesses. Any strange monster was like paper in front of him, and he never showed off his achievements. The serious face under the horn helmet seemed to never show a satisfied smile. The battle seemed to him just mechanical labor, just the most basic killing.
Even when Kolido roared and raised his two axes to kill the enemy, when Leoke waved his long-handled axe and defeated the invading sheep-headed man, Chen Yaogang always silently pulled the bow and killed all targets within the range of the shooting. He would not even take the initiative to comfort him if his comrades were seriously injured and whether he would help him deal with the wound.
Only when Kolidu was besieged until he was exhausted and was knocked down by a giant corpse monster, Chen Yaogang drew his sword and charged quickly, and repelled all the monsters around Kolidu. When Kolidu bandaged his wound and wanted to hug him appropriately to express his gratitude, Chen Yaogang quickly moved away and dodged to the side to deal with his equipment.
Leoke initially thought Chen Yaogang was a passionate and passionate barbarian. Although he is now a druid, he still flows with the blood of the barbarians. After all, only the strong children in the bitter and cold land can shoulder the responsibility of protecting the holy mountain. His body shape and physique are the symbols of the barbarians.
But now it seems that Chen Yaogang will neither talk about anything about tribal life nor abide by the politeness between barbarians to enhance feelings.
The most damn thing is that after killing a powerful enemy like the deformed porcupine, Chen Yaogang had no expression on his face. Before Leoke and Kolid took a breath, he tried to cut off an edible pork leg and had a delicious meal. He had already recovered his heavy arrow and began to kill the next group of monsters.
Chen Yaogang was killing monsters from beginning to end. There was no trace of brotherhood, comrade-in-arms relationship, supply issues, weapon skills in his eyes. He did not hesitate when he took action. There seemed to be nothing meaningful to him in this world, he just wanted to kill monsters.
What a weird guy. Leoke and Kolido looked at each other silently and saw the same feeling in each other's eyes.
Chen Yaogang sat in the hut and glanced at his experience value. Leoke and Kolido joined, but did not separate his experience value. Instead, because the three people could roam around and open monsters, he got about 1.5 times the experience efficiency gain in the same battle time.
The only thing that made Chen Yaogang feel depressed was that whenever he sat down, Leoke and Kolid's limbs began to touch more. They like to drink, talk about their previous combat performances, and also like to stroke other people's chests and abdomen with their hands, showing their muscles like idiots.
Chen Yaogang really couldn't interfere in such a "happy" scene.
"Chan, your arms look thicker than us. Among many tribes, warriors as strong as you should be considered elite. How could you come here?"
"Did Roger women do this set of armor for you? This forging technique surprised me a little. Ordinary women cannot do the equipment of barbarian men."
"I thought a strongman like you would choose a heavier melee weapon, but I didn't expect your archery skills to be so good. I remember that our Frost Bear tribe has a giant sword that kills demons. Only tall elders and patriarchs can fight with it. Which tribe are you from? I have never heard of a barbarian tribe that specializes in using bows..."
Regarding this inquiry, Chen Yaogang felt a headache for a long time, and could only hesitate to take a few fitness tips perfunctorily. After thinking about it, it was better for Komarco and Langdon. Although Komarco was a little cowardly, Langdon had more sluts than Kidman, they would not make so many strange moves while resting in the battle.
Leoke was still thinking about whether Chen Yaogang had any thoughts, so Kolidu asked very straightforwardly: "Brother, what are you doing? We just want to know you, not to touch you. If we perform missions together in the future and experience a battle of life and death, if you are injured, someone will have to carry you back, right?"
After thinking for a long time, it was not a big deal to hold it in such a way. Chen Yaogang then unscrewed the water bag and took a sip, allowing the two of them to understand their current situation: "Sorry, that... Actually, I have never been to the north. I don't know much about the life of the barbarians. I only know that my father is a barbarian, and my mother is a druid."
"I was trained in combat in the forests of mountains since I was a child, and grew up in the Lion Empire. One day, my parents suddenly left me when they heard the call. I don't know what they did to me, and I can't even remember their names and looks."
"I became a mercenary after that. When I was experiencing a life-and-death crisis at sea, I accidentally awakened the druid's talent. I may not be the barbarian brother you imagined..."
After hearing what Chen Yaogang said, Leoke and Kolido immediately changed their faces. Because they knew that the barbarians of the northern tribes would not usually marry foreign women as their wives. The barbarians refused all fragile and soft things. The barbarians believed that only steel and strength could protect their sacred mountains.
Although it is said that in the ancient times, druids and barbarians were in the relationship between them, it was a legend from the ancient times.
The most terrifying thing about this incident is that Chen Yaogang's father must be a barbarian, and he actually left his home in the north and ran outside to meet a more mysterious female druid. He also violated the iron laws of the tribe and gave birth to a child with a druid. When his father heard the call of the Holy Mountain, he chose to set off and return home without hesitation, and Chen Yaogang's mother also disappeared mysteriously after hearing the call.
Chen Yaogang briefly introduced his life, and Leoke and Kolido didn't know how to communicate.
No matter what the method was, Chen Yaogang's parents obviously didn't want anyone to know that they had this child.
Because the druid tribe is rare, they are hidden deep in the forest world, and they are with wild beasts all day long, and can freely transform into various wild beasts and be completely immersed in the resonance of all things in nature. That is no longer a strange existence that is versatile and can be trusted. Some druids are even half-human and half-tree. God knows what the druids are, and what the druids are thinking in their minds.
Leoke showed an awkward expression, but Chen Yaogang was willing to confess his identity, which means that he really trusted himself. He had to pay attention to this strange barbarian brother: "Sorry, I only know that those who can hear the call of the ancestors must be elite strong people in the tribe. However, after the Immortal King was crowned decades ago, the tribes in the north were united, and wars and frictions were less and less. Most barbarian marriages were monogamous, and I had never heard of such things."
Kolido patted Chen Yaogang's shoulder: "Don't worry, brother, since your body is filled with barbarian blood, your father has also responded to the call of the Holy Mountain. You are another respected warrior, and we will never discriminate against you for this kind of thing."
Chen Yaogang forced a smile and saluted back. Although he felt that his life experience was very painful before, he easily accepted him when he saw two savages, which made him feel much more relieved.
However, as the development of world history progresses, one day, Chen Yaogang must find a way to change the thread of history, return to the north in advance to fight the demon army, and prevent the world from collapsing again, otherwise the barbarians will be tragically exterminated because of the collapse of the Holy Mountain.
Although Chen Yaogang is a time traveler, he has no natural feelings for his parents in another world. But he watched a group of straightforward barbarians almost all died in battle in order to protect the key to the holy mountain. As a time traveler, he did not do anything, and he seemed a little sorry for the identity of the original owner.
Not to mention that the barbarians have to rely on those ancestors and grandfathers to change their jobs. In this world where racial discrimination and gender discrimination are so serious, the shortcut to getting a happy life is to integrate into a kind of society and not isolate themselves into an alien. Just like slowly letting Rogwong accept himself, Chen Yaogang also hopes that the barbarians can accept themselves.
If Chen Yaogang can survive to the previous version, he must make plans for the unknown future.
If it was a halfway cat car... it would be brave enough to keep people's hearts alive, right?
Don't panic at the right time, and be so steady.
