Chronicles of Primordial Wars
Chapter 526: The Man in the Dungeon
In the woods, Shao Xuan followed closely the steps of the first two.
Thief XI and Thief XII said that the baby was found when they hid it, not too far from the Flaming Horn tribe in an underground hole.
At that time, the two of them started with the Tsubaki tribe and followed the Flaming Horn team that had travelled to the place at the time, intending to collect a sum from the Tsubaki tribe, because they stole from the Tsubaki tribe and stole from the other tribes, carrying more “achievements”, influencing the operation, thinking about hiding things first, then continuing to follow the Tsubaki team and mixing them in.
As always, they will find a discreet place to hide what they are carrying, and when things are done, they will go back and dig it up and take it with them on the run. That's when they found a hole.
Many tribes will find a place to dig holes, either to hide food or to prevent danger and build a safe haven. And that cave was probably where a small tribe lived, but then the little tribe migrated or was wiped out, leaving the underground cave behind.
The cave was quite secret, and there was no smoke for a long time, surrounded by dense woods and grass, and if they hadn't deliberately dug the cave treasure around it, they wouldn't have found it.
Now Shao Xuan wants to know the place and promises to let them go as long as they lead the way. The thieves of 11 and 12 agreed.
Thieves 11 and 12 had never been caught before, and if they were found, they would escape quickly and would not be caught up. This is the first time they've been caught. Either get killed or lead the way, they'll have to choose the latter.
The two were husband and wife, one was arrested and the other did not want to run away on his own. In the unlikely event that he had to, the Thief 12 would not leave alone. She didn't dare to do anything. She was tied to the line on the 11th leg of the theft. The other end was in Shao Xuan's hand. She was not sure she could solve Shao Xuan before Shao Xuan did anything. We can only wait for the opportunity.
“Almost there, I remember right around here.” Thief 11 moved his ankle, "he said.
Without a knife, he couldn't get rid of those threads, and the tighter he earned, his whole leg was numb now. If one leg is scrapped, he can't keep the name of "Thief 11”. He can't spell the top 10, but he can't even think about it. Only by squeezing into the top ten can they learn more about secrets, get more and more attractive things, and get a lot more status in the tribe.
Without risking losing one foot, he was willing to compromise, hoping that Shao Xuan would let him go. Thief 11 Think back, the first time you saw this kid, he wasn't strong enough, and then you dumped him like you were playing. How come it's only been more than two years and it's changed so much?
“Mm-hmm.” Shao Xuan wrote down the terrain around here. The next time no one leads, he can come by himself and add this piece to the unfinished map.
The patrol in Flaming Horn has received the message from Shao Xuan and turned back. The Sky Feather tribe, Tianshan tribe and the people returning to the tribe were lost after Shao Xuan and the Thief 11 entered the forest. Wherever they went, they continued their search or returned to Flaming Horn. Shao Xuan was not interested to know.
Nowadays, no one is following them.
Theoretically, no one else should be happy with the 11 and 12 thieves, two against one, they should prevail, but now they do not feel this way, instead, they are more cautious.
Shao Xuan dared to stare at them alone. Either he was too arrogant and distracted; or he was really not afraid of the two of them playing tricks.
For his own feet, Thief 11 decided to be honest first, and the escape plan had to be considered carefully. This kid doesn't look like a reckless person.
“There it is! ”
Thief 11 points to show Shao Xuan, while watching Shao Xuan's expression, to see if Shao Xuan has any intention of killing them.
Shao Xuan looked at the past, between the two hills, it looked like a plain grass, and the ground was full of weeds.
Thief 12 received the look of Thief 11, hesitated, walked over and pulled out a knife.
It's customary for both of them to make a mark where they've hidden something that no one else can see, a mark that only two of them can understand. So, after Thief Twelve had passed, he quickly pinpointed the location of the knife.
Grab a layer of soil from the top and expose a square slab of stone nearly a meter below the soil.
The tablet is thick, the thief twelve people are a little hard to pry, they are fast, but they are not strong enough.
Theft 11 was going to help, and he saw Shao Xuan approaching that side, stretching out the hand that hadn't pinched the silk thread, grabbing the thick slab, along with the layer of soil still covered on it, lifted the whole slab.
Watching Shao Xuan easily lift a slab as thick as a bark, or with one hand, they were impressed by the power of the Horn Man.
“Down here. ”
Thief 12 and thief 11 looked at each other, the two jumped first and led the way ahead.
The cave below is quite deep, but it's not long, and by the way, where you store things, it's 70 square meters. But it's sturdy, supported by stone columns and slabs, otherwise it won't last that long.
So, just a few steps down, Shao Xuan clearly saw the cave.
Thief 12 held a water moonstone and lit up the cave, pointing to the three white bones against the wall of the cave: “The object was found from them. ”
They haven't talked to Shao Xuanti about “Long Live Ye”, thinking that Shao Xuanti doesn't necessarily know what it is, but only refers to “things” and “babies”, and is vague when speaking. I regret it now. Why did you bury that thing in the corner? It should be right here. If not, perhaps they can now squeeze into the top ten by the Leaf of Heaven.
Do you really know the true value of Longevity Leaves, the ruthless people of Flaming Horn? Don't know if it's best, but if there's a chance, they'll have to sneak into the corner and steal it back. Unfortunately, they were unable to find out Shao Xuan's intentions or what Shao Xuan thought.
Shao Xuan approached the white bones, their clothes were no longer visible, and there were no iconic items on their bodies to prove their identity, but in terms of the hardness and retention of the bones, the stronger they were, the better the retention of the bones.
Shao Xuan remembers the appearance of a wooden cylinder with long leaves in it. After some years, the wooden cylinder has long changed colour, but it can last hundreds of years and possibly thousands of years without corrosion. It is also a rare quality wood. And the long live leaves in it, even more so, are as bright as new when they come out.
Long live the Yi clan's knot knob technique is documented on the leaves. A long time ago, Yi clan people made something similar to what Shao Xuan had detected from Wang Cheng Yi's family. The people who were able to appear on this side of the ocean should have brought them here a thousand years ago from the tunnel in the ocean.
Looking at these white bones, Shao Xuan asked the 11 or 2 thieves: “Did you move them when you came here? ”
The two people with the right eye were suddenly surprised by Shao Xuan's questioning.
“No! I looked upside down, but then it was restored.” They steal, but for these bodies that have been in storage for years without knowing how many, they are still more awesome and do not tear apart bones and throw them away.
Shao Xuan looked at the three white bones in the same direction, like they were all looking at something.
Looking past the empty eye hole, Shao Xuan saw the answer on the standing stone column.
Stone columns are engraved with a lot of words and graphics, and some of them are probably left behind by the unknown little tribe whose husband lives here, or the text here. One of these is a pattern that appears to be mixed with other words and drawings, and is not visible to those who do not know it, which is why Thief XI and Thief XII have not noticed. Different tribes have different pattern styles. Eleven or two thieves are not deeply concerned about this little tribe that has not left a splash of water in history, so most of the text and drawings on the pillars are ignored after reading them.
The pattern engraved on the stone column looks like some kind of plant, however, it has been surprising to see Shao Xuan in this pattern.
This is the royal family pattern across the ocean! That is, the early tribal totem pattern!
When the underwater corridor rose, a group of people came from the sea. In addition to the Mu family and the Yi family, there were also people from the Jia family. Today, however, the Mo family changed their surnames to dominate the desert, but the Mo family died there. The people who come here, the internal conflict is not insignificant. What the hell do these three families want to do?
Unfortunately, a thousand years later, Shao Xuan had no idea what they were thinking.
Shao Xuan looked carefully again and found nothing. There is nothing on the stone column other than the painting of the family, which seems to be the last trace left by the three men.
Out of the cave, Shao Xuan did not return a word about the theft of 11, just let them go as promised.
Once liberated, the 11 thieves and the 12 thieves couldn't care less to try Tan Shao Xuan, so let's get out of here first.
Looking at the back of the escape, Shao Xuan turned around and walked back to the cave.
There's a habit in the family. They put grains in their own graves. Look at those three people in the hole, they should be ready to die. So did they do it according to the customs of their own tribe? They should still have deep feelings for the clan, seeing as they end up with the clan pattern.
The cave below Shao Xuan has been checked in detail, no grain has been found in it, it may have decayed into dust and may have been eaten by other underground creatures, but Shao Xuan felt that it was more than that. If it is the custom of the family, they should put a grain container next to it, not necessarily ceramics, or alternatives, but in fact, nothing.
They knew they were dying, and they could never go back, and what would they do if they had grains in their hands?
