Chapter 46: The Land of Inheritance, Unjust Game
The military truck was parked intact next to the gate, and the cleaners avoided the large iron lump that looked much more difficult to deal with than the wooden wall.
The truck accompanied them, and under the leadership of Potova, the group moved along the pick-up point towards the Infiaite tribe's territory.
There were no accidents along the way, and the pick-up points were all obvious mounds. It was obvious that this tribe had no intention of hiding themselves.
Near the tribal gate, there were thick wooden stakes neatly and tightly inserted into the ground, with iron sheets wrapped on top for reinforcement. It looked much more imposing than the wandering tribe of Dart and his group.
Before they got close enough, the Infiait tribe had already noticed their arrival.
It seemed as if they had already gathered in one place. Two rows of soldiers rushed out and looked at Xu Yi and his group warily. The inverted T-shaped masks on their faces were exactly the same as those worn by Dart and his men, which really made people think of something.
A skinny old man with his upper body naked walked out, leaning on a dry and cracked wooden stick, followed by a strong young man without a mask.
"Dear outsiders and... expelled people, what is your purpose here? The Infiaite clan is preparing for the succession ceremony. If decades of tradition are broken, the Infiaite clan will fight you to the death."
The skinny old man spoke harshly in a calm tone, while looking around at a group of outsiders hiding their heads and tails and... Is this, the breath of gods? The old man's face became a little doubtful.
Jay continued, "My Lord has no intention of starting a war with you. He is here only to resolve the source of this white curse. Elder, the inheritance ceremony you are talking about corresponds to the entanglement and absurdity of the heir dying in reincarnation."
"How dare you!" The burly man who led the masked warriors shouted, "Huduo is the most talented person in the history of the tribe. How could he be the same as those mediocre people in the past!"
"You outsiders, what qualifications do you have to gossip about..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the skinny old man.
"Elder…"
"Balta, step back!" The old man looked solemn and performed a tribal courtesy of respect to the crowd.
"Elder Pabla, these outsiders..."
The burly man tried to stop him, but was stopped by Pabla's suddenly louder voice:
"I would also like to know the name of the person behind you. If you are willing to bring Huduo with you to the place of inheritance, Pabla is willing to lead the entire Infiat tribe to serve you, and our faith will never change in this life!"
If that person is really a god, his action is equivalent to making conditions to the god. A trace of cold sweat fell. Pabla bent down and waited nervously. He couldn't figure out the temper of this god. He knew that this was a gamble!
"My Lord has agreed to your request. You must remember my Lord's name. The God of Wasteland has thousands of incarnations. This is the symbol of shadow, the dark man!"
…
From Pabla's narration, Xu Yi and others roughly understood the whole story of the inheritance ceremony.
Decades ago, the chiefs of the Pallas and Infiait tribes, who were also the strongest of the two tribes, fought in the land of inheritance to obtain the power of the source of the curse. After a battle, both of them died, and the source of the white curse stole their power, and cursed the two tribes, so that their descendants could no longer get close to the source of the curse.
The significance of the inheritance ceremony is that the two tribes send their most promising descendants to break the curse, inherit the power of the tribe leader and remove the source of the curse! But
Xu Yi still has doubts, "Tribal confrontation, foreign enemies provoking."
In this ballad that even a wandering hunter like Dart can sing, if the ethnic confrontation refers to the hatred caused by the battle and death of the leaders of the Pallas and Infiat tribes, then what about the provocation of foreign enemies?
From Pallas's story, there is no information about foreign enemies. Could it be the source of the curse? Could it be that this thing has self-awareness and can lure others to fight for it?
With doubts in mind, Xu Yi and his group, led by Pabla, headed towards the so-called place of inheritance.
The truck could no longer drive, and the road to the land of inheritance was no longer a flat wasteland, but a series of cliffs.
The road is winding and rugged. After climbing for a while, you can only see the next section clearly in the increasingly thick white fog.
After climbing a hundred-meter-long cliff through withered but solid vines, and crossing a small fault that was as high as a person, the group finally came to flat ground again. Pabla had stopped accompanying them at the foot of the hundred-meter cliff, and only Huduo followed them up.
After walking a few steps forward, the figure of another young man emerged from the thick fog. Unlike Hu Duo, who was much taller than his peers and strong and sturdy, this young man looked thin and his exposed arms were very slender.
Is this the successor sent by the Pallas tribe this time?
Seeing the group of people appear, the young man was also a little dumbfounded. Soon, his crisp voice sounded, with a hint of anger: "You, Infite, have violated the inheritance agreement after all!"
Ignoring the young man's threatening roar, Xu Yi paid no attention to the so-called inheritance ceremony. He had only one goal, which was to find the source of the biochemical fog. It was very likely a special item or a strange object!
Leaving the young man aside, Xu Yi continued forward. A huge stone pier slowly emerged from the fog, with a flower on top that was gleaming with green light.
After taking a few steps forward, Xu Yi's face suddenly turned gloomy. Although no one could see it, he could clearly feel that the energy density of the dark shadow was slowly decreasing. Although the green light was weak, the coverage area was not small.
Energy-attribute attacks? If he were to walk in front of it, the dark shadow would certainly not be able to withstand the damage. If he walked a distance and let the flesh and blood thugs bear the dark damage... then he might completely shift to the [Neutral Evil] camp, which did not suit Xu Yi's own temperament.
The spell scroll [Unjust Game] was activated!
It was as if there was a crisp high-five sound in my ears, and the original position of the dark shadow was replaced by a five-meter-tall black statue!
The five-meter-tall black statue slowly shrank, and its already fine scales continued to overlap each other, eventually forming a smooth black shell. Dark gray energy poured out from the almost invisible gaps, forming a gray outer layer of flesh and blood. A deformed arm grew from the back.
The humanoid figure finally froze at a height of two meters, the fourth stage of [Swelling Colossus]!
The people on the side watched with awe, and even the thin Pallas boy stopped making noise.
If I guessed correctly, the closer I got to it, the higher the damage I would suffer. Is there such damage just at the edge of the green light? Then...
The swollen colossus of the fourth level almost turned into a shadow. When it reappeared, it had climbed onto the stone pier and stood next to the green flower.
The gray flesh was constantly evaporating. The damage of the green light had reached its limit. There was no time to use the detection technique. The deformed right arm grabbed down fiercely, and the green light shattered...
