Chapter 405 The Magic of Ixtar in the Rock Village
The entrance to the rock village.
The guarding tribal hunters looked at Huo Jixing who had come from afar with vigilant eyes, their spears ready to move.
"Stop, who are you?"
"I am a wanderer, and I came here under the guidance of a caravan."
Huo Jixing slowly released his left hand holding the hilt of the sword, indicating that he had no ill intentions.
"What are you doing here?" The tribal hunter sounded a little more relaxed, but still continued to ask.
The rock village is very close to the forgotten land of Icathia, and you can enter it by crossing the mountains behind it.
According to the records of the village elders, many ordinary people and extraordinary people were unable to resist the temptation of the forbidden place and became degenerates.
"I heard from the caravan that monsters ran out of the forbidden land and came here to take refuge." Huo Jixing said that he had already thought of an excuse.
"Escape?"
The tribal hunter frowned and looked at Huo Jixing. He saw that the clothes and scarf he wore were very consistent with the Shurima attire.
But his face and temperament are obviously very different from those of Shuriman.
Of course, the rock village in the oasis will not refuse the arrival of such people, and it will more or less bring business to the village.
“Remember, don’t cause trouble after entering the village.” The tribal hunter warned.
"Otherwise we will throw you out of the oasis directly and let you fend for yourself."
"Understood." Huo Jixing nodded.
Under the gaze of tribal hunters, he crossed the thick sand wall and entered the village.
The situation in the village was similar to what Huo Jixing saw outside. The atmosphere in the village was very good.
As night falls, the lights in the village gradually light up, and the people living here live a simple and peaceful life.
If the forgotten land of Icathia is ignored, it may gradually develop and become a new city.
Huo Jixing walked slowly on the solid loess road. Maybe he saw that he had just entered the rock village, and several teenagers looked over frequently.
"Sir, do you need a guide?"
A dark-faced, somewhat honest young man ran up to Huo Jixing and asked respectfully.
Huo Jixing followed the sound and saw several people looking nervously behind the honest young man.
"No, I can do it myself."
"Okay, sir, I won't disturb you." The honest young man bowed and left, running towards his partner.
Huo Jixing didn't pay attention to the incident in front of him. The red-gold light flashed in his pupils, guiding him to the center of the village.
"Hey, why are you back? Won't you pester him to give him a tip?"
As soon as the honest boy returned, a sturdy young man came over and picked out in surprise Raise an eyebrow.
In his impression, the honest young man is very understanding of people's hearts and often receives tips from customers.
“There’s something wrong with that guy.” The honest young man rubbed his face and put away his smile.
"He smells of blood."
"The smell of blood?" The sturdy young man touched his chin, seeming thoughtful.
“I heard from people in the caravan that a caravan from the Xueyin Market disappeared for no reason.”
"It's very possible that he encountered those crazy group of bloodthirsty looters."
"Do you suspect that he is a spy sent by the bloodthirsty looters?" The honest young man looked surprised.
Compared to people from other tribes, people in rock villages are not very afraid of bloodthirsty marauders.
Because they have enough strength and capital to deal with the bloodthirsty looters.
And the market in the village is also a very suitable place for selling stolen goods. Occasionally, spies from bloodthirsty robbers will come in.
"It's hard to confirm." The sturdy young man shook his head, looked at Huo Jixing's back, and turned to leave.
"You guys just keep watching, I'll go talk to Elder Faisal."
The remaining teenagers looked at each other and quickly disappeared into the street. They were very familiar with the village. It was the place where they grew up, and there were many corners where they could observe people.
Unfortunately, they don’t know that Huo Jixing is a legendary transcendent.
While they were chatting, Huo Jixing had already heard the content of their exchange.
“A spy from the bloodthirsty marauders?”
He shrugged his shoulders, ignored the lame tracking of the teenagers, and followed the established route to the center of the village, a lively place. In front of the pub.
The tavern in the rock village was different from what Huo Jixing had imagined. It was decorated with green plants and looked clean and quiet.
It is somewhat similar to the Qingba in the previous life.
But when he pushed open the heavy wooden door wrapped in linen, a loud noise broke through his inner impression.
The lights in the tavern are bright, the aroma of food fills the wide space, and the smell of spirits.
Several wooden tables, chairs and bronze chandeliers exude an ancient atmosphere.
Huo Jixing looked at the crowd and chose a relatively quiet corner to sit down.
He looked around and noticed that many people were looking at him curiously, including the honest young man from before.
At this time, a youthful tribal girl came over, holding a tray with several bottles of wine and cups on it.
"Guest, what do you need?" The tribal girl smiled, her eyes really looking at Huo Jixing's clothes and temperament.
"Two bottles of high-concentration spirits and four portions of your village's specialty food." Huo Jixing placed the order directly, took out the gold thread from his arms and placed it on the tray.
“Guest, if there is so much, can you finish it?” The tribal girl looked at the golden thread, her eyebrows lit up.
“Don’t worry.”
Huo Jixing laughed softly, faintly aware of a wary look coming towards him.
He immediately released his spiritual power and stretched out to see the honest young man he had just met, with hidden admiration in him.
Of course not to Huo Jixing.
To the tribal girl in front of me.
“Okay, let’s make arrangements here.”
The tribal girl bowed slightly and jumped away with a joy that could not be hidden in the corners of her eyes.
Huo Jixing’s order is the biggest tip she has ever received.
Excluding spirits and food, at least half of a gold thread can be left.
After a while, the tribal girl sent everything to Huo Jixing, greeted her and left.
Huo Jixing picked up the wine glass and listened to the guests' talk while tasting the aroma of the liquor.
He noticed the details in the tavern. Most of the guests here were men, and they were dressed very simply. It was obvious that they were from the village.
But there are also a small number of people who wear gorgeous clothes and have familiar clothing styles.
"Is it a caravan from Piltover?"
Huo Jixing glanced at the northwest corner, where a group of caravan guards from Piltover were drinking.
Then he noticed a middle-aged man in a robe in front of the bar, packing something.
This is a transcendent being.
With a weak body and vague energy fluctuations, he should be a mage-type extraordinary person.
During occasional conversations, Huo Jixing heard part of the middle-aged man's information, which came from the mage of Ixtar.
I came to the rock village two months ago to discuss matters with the village elders. I usually come to the tavern to sit for a while and pack food.
At this moment, Huo Jixing heard the guests at the table next to him talking about some strange events that had happened in the village recently.
People seemed to be missing frequently, and village hunters and some caravan guards also went out to look for them, but found nothing.
Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly and listened carefully to their conversation.
