After Guan Heng said this, he looked at Rong Zheng and smiled. After this battle, he had learned about the strength of Geng Shu, and the newly acquired Qinyuan Tiger Bee Agent Ghost is also not weak. Although the raid of the tail sting needle can only be used once a day, it is undoubtedly a backup killer weapon.

Moreover, Geng Shu cut off his arm immediately after being attacked, which seemed to be ruthless. This person should not be underestimated. Guan Heng had already taken care of himself and planned to remove it when he met that guy again, so as not to cause any other trouble.

After a while, Guan Heng used the bird-drawing medicine to find the birds and eagle to eat all the poisonous insects and snakes on the ground. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then they rushed to the road in the mountains and forests.

Along the way, Rong Zheng told Guan Heng that in addition to the four major alien races, namely the Tianyu tribe, the Mo Yu tribe, the Zhujian tribe and the Linghu tribe, there are also many small tribes with different customs in the vast mountains of this area. There is a small tribe called the "Milky Mian Tribe" where they will pass by tonight.

The so-called mud-faced fanatic tribe is actually no different from ordinary people living in mountainous areas, but they have an extremely unique custom, which is that when the whole tribe goes to the mountains to hunt, it will evenly apply wet mud on his face. It is said that this can prevent mosquito bites, avoid being exposed by vicious monsters, and in addition, it can also ward off evil spirits.

Guan Heng, who was rushing with Rong Zheng, heard this and couldn't help but ask strangely: "Don't ward off evil? What does that mean?"

"As for warding off evil, it actually has something to do with the legend in this mountain." Rong Zheng looked at the path ahead and now he had turned into a narrow and winding mountain road. He casually said to Guan Heng: "I have some friendship with the elder of the Nimian Mie Clan, and I learned some local anecdotes from him."

Speaking of this, Rong Zheng paused for a moment and continued to say: "More than a hundred years ago, there were people from a small tribe living in the mountains of the neighboring Mimi clan. However, one year, a terrible monster suddenly appeared in the mountains. The monster was different from ordinary monsters. Its power was amazing and changed. It ate people everywhere and killed animals, causing the people on the surrounding mountains to escape from death. Gradually, it became sparsely populated."

Guan Heng blinked and said, "But those people from the Mud-faced Clan can still live here. It can be seen that there must be a mystery in it?"

"Hahaha, Brother Guan said it well."

At this moment, Rong Zheng smiled and said, "Those people from the Mud-faced Clan were initially scared by the horror of monsters in the mountains, but later someone came up with an idea. When entering the mountains, they used mud to apply their faces to blend their bodies with the surrounding trees, flowers and plants, and disrupt the monster's vision. In this way, they could save their lives by chance when the monster passed by."

"Oh, so that's the case, I understand." Guan Heng said casually, but thought to himself: "What does that monster in the mountain look like and what are the abilities? I really want to see it, but now I'm in a hurry to go, so it's better not to have any trouble."

Just as Guan Heng thought of this, Rong Zheng suddenly said, "Look, there is the village of the Nimian Mie tribe in front of him. It is almost dusk now. If you rush tonight, you will easily lose your direction. Let's stay at the local elder's house tonight."

Hearing this, Guan Heng said with a slight hint: "Okay, I'll follow Brother Rong's arrangement." Guan Heng and the other three took the ghost-swallowing tiger and two demon apes into the Mud-faced Mizu Village not far away. Someone in the village knew Rong Zheng and immediately welcomed the elder of the Mizu Village.

Seeing his old friend Rong Zheng visiting, the elder of the clan seemed particularly enthusiastic. He brought several people into his home, asked his family to prepare meals, and arranged the residences of the ghost-swalking tiger and two giant apes.

However, Guan Heng found that the people around him looked a little unnatural, as if they were worried, and they were absent-minded in their words and actions.

So Guan Heng quietly said to Rong Zheng: "Can something happen in this village? Why are everyone's faces a little worried? It's obvious that they are having difficulties. Brother Rong, you can ask the elders. If we need help, you and I can..."

"Well, what Brother Guan said makes sense. The elder has always been very cautious and taciturn. Ask him in front of everyone, maybe the elder will not speak." Rong Zheng said to Guan Heng: "Let's do this, sit here for a while, and I'll go to the elder's room to inquire about the details."

After hearing Rong Zheng's words, Guan Heng slightly said, "Okay, you go, I'll just wait here."

Rong Zheng looked at the direction of the elder's bedroom, and there was still light on, so he walked over and knocked on the door lightly, and then the elder was welcomed into it.

Guan Heng waited for about a moment, and Rong Zheng finally walked out of the room with a calm face. He walked to Guan Heng and whispered: "Brother, come in with me."

Guan Heng looked at the dog beside him who was sleeping heavily against the ghost tiger, and the dark crystal coffin, and then nodded: "Okay, let's go."

The two entered the room of the elder of the mystery again, but Guan Heng found that the elder was crying and his eyes were swollen. He felt a little strange, but he was not convenient to ask himself, so he glanced at Rong Zheng.

At this time, Rong Zheng closed the door casually and said to Guan Heng: "At the beginning, the elder refused to reveal the truth. In fact, he was afraid of implicating us. However, I repeatedly asked questions, and then he told me what happened here recently."

"Oh, then I want to listen too." Guan Heng glanced at the elder, who finally sighed, and then said: "Little brother, I know that you and the patriarch Rong Zheng care about us and wanted to help, so he tried to inquire about the situation, but it was really weird to say this. I am really afraid that you will suffer from the impact..."

"Hey, I said, elder, since we are all here, it seems to be a little late to say whether we are implicated or not." Guan Heng smiled slightly at this time, "Don't worry, I plan to hear what's going on first. If I can't help with this, I will forgive my sins and leave. I guess you won't care, right?"

"Oh, it's rare for me to ask, so I'll just say it." The elder of the Mi clan was actually full of words and wanted to find someone to talk to him. Seeing Rong Zheng and Guan Heng so enthusiastically inquire, he couldn't hide it anymore, so he simply said it all.

It was a few months ago. The Mud-faced Maggie tribe held the largest mountain hunting activity of the year in the hottest midsummer season. The hunting took a total of seven days. In other words, all the young and old men of the tribe had to put wet mud on their faces and bodies, with animal skins and grass skirts around their waists, holding spears, bows and arrows in their hands, and hunting in the mountains.

Although the man-eating monster appeared in this mountain more than a hundred years ago, it has been only heard of legends and no real thing is seen. Therefore, the people of the Mud-faced Mad tribe put mud on their faces to hunt, just following the old customs and old rules, no one took the monsters seriously.
