Chapter 550.
Whether or not the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains had 100,000 miles, this was something that no one had ever measured.
Just this rolling mountain range, extremely vast.
Moreover, the mountains are many divergent paths, it is easy to come in and difficult to come out …… A little bit of carelessness, it is possible to fall deep into it.
Therefore, it is quite scrupulous.
The other end of the hundred thousand mountains, whether there are other people, this is more no one knows.
There are good people once deep inside, trying to go over the 100,000 mountains, but in the end no one can come back alive.
Whether they succeeded or not, no one knows.
In addition to this, this mountain has many inhabitants, far more than one flute clan, just the flute clan because of the use of compulsion art is famous all over the world, so people have only heard of the flute clan, but do not know the other.
All of this information was learned along the way, from the mouths of the Tong family members, as well as from the mouths of the local people after arriving around the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.
But about further news, not much was clear.
The Hundred Thousand Great Mountains always called for secrecy.
Jiang Ran and the others have been deep into this place for ten days, this ten days of light but found nothing.
Now the group built a campfire with stones, burning flames and cooking ingredients.
Jiang Ran, on the other hand, couldn’t help but glance at the Duo Demon Underworld King:
“You really didn’t recognize the wrong road?”
In fact, on this trip to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, the best option should have been to let Wu Di lead the way.
But at that time, before he had found the Heavenly Demon Treasure Guide, Wu Di had been thrown onto the battlefield by him.
Knowing that the Demon Sect Divine Soldier was hidden in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains was still something that happened after this.
Otherwise, he really should have let Wu Di come over.
It was better than this Duo Demon Underworld King who looked quite reliable, but in reality was not reliable at all.
The Dodo Demon Underworld King was full of confidence:
“Don’t worry Your Holiness, during your father’s time, the friendship between my religion and the Flute Clan was quite deep.
“My subordinate has also visited the Flute Clan a few times with the old Demon Venerable, this path is not wrong.”
“But you said earlier that you’d be able to reach the Flute Clan in ten days or so, but these ten days have passed, not to mention the Flute Clan, not even a ghost shadow has been seen.”
Tang Yuyi hummed.
The Dodo Demon Underworld King couldn’t help but cry and laugh:
“I say Holy Maiden Highness, this ghost shadow is not to be seen even if it’s not, aren’t you the most afraid of these strange power and God’s sayings?
“If I really took you to see the ghost shadow, would you not let His Holiness break my old bones apart?”
Tang Yuyi was speechless for a moment, who told her that she was good at everything, except for her fear of ghosts, a black spot that she couldn’t erase.
In the face of the words of the Demon King of the Underworld, she could only remain silent.
Jiang Ran then said softly:
“Auntie Rou and the others still have no news?”
On this journey, they were traveling in two ways, light and dark.
However, just as they were approaching the Hundred Thousand Mountains, before they were separated from the Tong family, Auntie Zo’s gang’s trail suddenly disappeared.
Several contacts had failed to connect.
The Transdemon Underworld King shook his head:
“Before …… Aunt Zo should be fine.
“She has got your mother’s internal strength, and has the Five Poisons Throughout the World Scripture to protect her body, there are not many people in the world today who can hurt her.
“Much less will not be this silent, unless it is Jun He Ya personally shot.
“But that will they follow us around and not far, Tong He Sheng can not detect, but we can find.
“If there really is something going on, one shout and Jun He Ya will have to fall into our hands.”
“Well ……”
Jiang Ran nodded slightly:
“It is expected that nothing will go wrong with them.
“That is …… so.”
He glanced at the Dodo Demon Underworld King and sighed:
“Then I’ll ask the Underworld King to do so.”
“Your Holiness, I don’t know if it’s my subordinate’s illusion, but when you said those words, you seemed to be a bit upset.”
The Transdemon Underworld King cocked his head to scrutinize Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran nodded seriously.
“……”
While gossiping, the crowd ate.
And right at this moment, Jiang Ran suddenly frowned and looked around without moving, then took out a small bottle from his pocket, poured out quite a few pills, and sneakily stuffed them into the hands of the poetic girls.
The crowd was first stunned, and then understood.
Sneaking this pill into their mouths ……
As time passed, the glow of the bonfire quietly dimmed.
The group of people surrounding the fire fell into dreamland in the midst of this silence.
Right in the middle of this noiselessness, a figure suddenly appeared from the forest bushes.
Only to see the person in the lead gently waving his hand:
“Tie them all up.”
The people behind him immediately shot out, tying Jiang Ran and his group’s hands and feet.
With a command, they were all carried away.
This way to go time is not short, over the mountains, a while later, before coming to a mountain pass.
See this depression within the mountain, this time there are stars of fire, even a tribe.
At this moment, the main door is waiting for someone.
It is an old woman dressed in a rather complicated and strange.
Her brows were tightly locked as she probed and scrutinized, and it was only after this group of people appeared that she sighed in relief.
“A Mei, you guys are back.”
A woman stepped out from amongst the group, and it was the person who was at the head of the group earlier.
She was not very old, around twenty years old, her skin was slightly pale, but she was wearing a black suit, her hands were athletic, and between her brows and eyes, there was less of a woman’s softness and more of a wildness.
However, at this time she was smiling like a flower, walked to the front in pulling this old woman’s hand and said:
“Grandma, we are back.
“Don’t worry, it looks like it shouldn’t be their people ……
“It’s just a bunch of unusual people who don’t know what they’re doing running into the mountains.
“With a little trickery, I’ve eliminated them all in one go.
“I’ll personally interrogate them later, and if they’re unrelated people …… I’ll erase their memories of tonight and directly throw them out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.”
“Uh-huh.”
The old woman gently nodded her head:
“Ah Mei, it’s right if you can think like that.
“There are rules in the mountains, and there are reasons outside.
“The people outside regard the people in the mountains as flood beasts, and the people in the mountains treat them the same way ……
“There is no need to add to the blood debt between each other.
“If they really have nothing to do with this matter, then let them hurry up and go.
“But A Mei ah, remember Granny’s words, people outside the mountains have floating minds and a whole lot of flowery intestines.
“Back then, Grandma had a younger sister who was tricked by people outside the mountains with flowery words.
“It ended up in a miserable end.
“And and and and, not only my tribe, but there are also many young and beautiful girls among other tribes who have been tricked away by the tricks of the bastard boys from outside the mountains.
“When they are here, they are all obedient, and when they go out, they are cruel and heartless.
“You can’t forget the past, you mustn’t follow their old path.”
“Don’t worry granny!”
Ah Mei laughed out loud:
“Who can trick me? If you dare to trick me, then you have to see if your life is tough enough first!
“Bring them all inside!”
“Yes!”
After the crowd agreed, they carried Jiang Ran and his group into the fortress.
This tribe was perched within the mountain pass, with its back against the mountain, and there were many caves in the mountain.
Jiang Ran’s group was brought into a cave.
The cave was pattering, not knowing what snakes, insects and ants were hidden.
This group of people did not have any compassion, Jiang Ran and the others were tied to a pillar, and then came out in a row.
The fire in the cave was brightly lit, and Jiang Ran abruptly opened his eyes.
First, he skimmed the cave.
“So it’s a scorpion …….”
The pattering sounds in this cave were scorpions that wandered around the edges of the cave.
It was as if these scorpions had some sort of program, just swimming around the periphery of the cell, but never crossing the line.
Even though the walls were crawling with them, they never set foot in the cell.
“They’re actually using scorpions as guards?”
Tang Yuyi also opened her eyes and said with some surprise:
“Is this the means of the Flute Clan?”
“It may not be the Flute Clan.”
Tang Shiyi followed suit:
“It might be some other ethnic group ……
“Listening to them just now, it feels like this Hundred Thousand Mountains isn’t an ironclad one either.
“They should have their own fights as well.”
“That’s right, listening to them, they suspect that we are related to someone, and that’s why they are doing this to us.”
Ye Shockfang gently shook his head:
“But big brother Jiang, according to what the Underworld King said, even if we haven’t arrived at the Flute Clan by this time, we shouldn’t be far away.
“If these people aren’t from the Flute Clan …… then aren’t we going the wrong way?”
“I’m afraid we can only ask the Duo Demon Underworld King about that.”
Jiang Ran glanced at the Dodo Demon Underworld King and shouted twice:
“Underworld King, Underworld King, wake up, don’t pretend, there are no guards.”
However the Dodo Demon Underworld King was half awake.
Always drooped his head …… If it wasn t for Jiang Ran being able to hear his heartbeat, he would have thought that he was already dead.
The eldest princess asked in a low voice:
“Did you party …… give him the antidote?”
Jiang Ran froze for a moment:
“You did not give ah?”
“Forgot …… it.”
“I thought you gave it.”
“I didn’t ah, why don’t you guys give it?”
“……”
The crowd looked at each other in disbelief, then realized that they were pretending to be unconscious, and that the Dodo Demon Underworld King had really passed out.
Jiang Ran was rather surprised:
“I didn’t care about it just now, so it seems that this means is not trivial.
“Although the King of the Dodo Demon Underworld is not a weapon, but a body of internal strength is also extraordinary.
“Surprisingly, it was so easy to fall into the way.”
“Big brother Jiang, what do we do?”
Ye Jingshang asked, “Thanks to their blessings, we have found a community, but now that we have been deep in this place for so long, if we really go in the wrong direction, it won’t be easy to get back on track again.”
“It’s actually easier now.”
The corner of Ye Jingxue’s mouth grinned, and a rather hideous smile appeared under the firelight:
“Aren’t these all people who lead the way? Just grab any one of them and ask them clearly.”
“…… You talk just talk, this smile put away, strange oozing.”
Ye Shocking Frost glared at her.
Ye Shocking Xue dryly laughed twice:
“This is all learned from Tang Painting Yi.”
“You go you go, when did I teach you this? Lying on me for everything ……”
Tang Yuyi beamed, expressing her unwillingness to take the blame.
Tang Shiyi, on the other hand, smiled and said:
“Xue’er’s words are right, we have a limited understanding of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and the Dodo Demon Underworld King isn’t reliable, so the people of this mountain should always understand the bottom of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
“When the time comes, let them take us there.”
“Hush, be silent!”
Jiang Ran said softly:
“Someone’s coming, we’ll make a show of it first in a while and figure out what’s going on with them.
“Then we’ll make a decision.”
The crowd nodded, then their heads dropped and they continued to pretend to be unconscious.
The sound of footsteps had arrived in front of them in the twinkling of an eye.
And with the arrival of the footsteps, those scorpions wandering on the ground were like a tidal wave, retreating away from both sides, until after the people walked in, these scorpions only re-paved the ground, not allowing anyone to step on it.
Not many people came in, only three.
Just heard the girl called A Mei earlier say:
“What kind of people are these?
“A man …… a group of women, and an old man?
“This man bringing so many women, most likely not something good.”
Between her words, she had already arrived in front of Jiang Ran.
Reaching out, she cupped Jiang Ran’s chin and lifted his head.
The sky is pitiful …… Jiang Ran has been wandering the world for so long, but this is the first time he has been treated like this.
Just heard that Ah Mei’s voice coming from close by:
“How did this person grow like this?
“This eyebrow, this mouth, this nose, this ear, this hair ……
“It’s really different from those people in the mountains.
“It just looks a bit thin and weak, I’m afraid I can’t fight with lions and tigers.
“Huh? Underestimated him ah, body bones quite strong ah.”
As she said that, she went to touch Jiang Ran’s eyebrows, eyes, nose, and also scratched his chest twice, only to feel that this person looks skinny and weak, but in reality, he is full of tendon meat ah.
Can not help but eyes bright, and grabbed two more.
Only grabbed the poetic and other people all face black, even if ‘unconscious’ it, can not help but clench their fists.
“Bring it.”
A Mei’s voice sounded once again.
Another footstep could be heard coming, walking behind Ah Mei and seemingly handing over something.
Ah Mei took it in her hand, and Jiang Ran felt her bring an object of some sort to the heel of her nose.
It was only swept away for a moment, and then it had been taken away.
Subsequently A Mei released Jiang Ran’s chin and seemed to have found a place to sit down.
Half a time …… A Mei was surprised:
“Why not wake up?”
Jiang Ran immediately stifled a grunt, ‘slowly awakening’, his eyes swept around in confusion:
“This is …… what place is this?”
“What place? In the words of you mountain outsiders, this is the Hall of Hades.”
Just listen to that A Mei’s voice was brutal.
Jiang Ran raised his head to look, and saw that this woman, who was covered in black clothes and had many small cloth sacs on her body, was stepping on the table with one foot while looking at herself coldly:
“Say, what’s your name?”
“Who are you?”
Jiang Ran didn’t open his mouth, but was just filled with panic:
“What is this place? What are you guys going to do?
“I tell you …… me martial arts can be high, you mountain people, if you dare to be unfavorable to me, I guarantee to beat you …… up! Full of peach blossoms!!!”
“Little fellow, you’re still pretty good ah?”
Ah Mei grinned, holding a dagger in his hand as he stepped towards Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran’s face changed colors at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In his mind, he was also considering how he should put on a show.
Should he act like he’d rather die than give in, or should he act like he’s afraid of death?
Before he could make a decision, A Mei’s dagger was already on his neck:
“Say, what’s your name?”
“…… Zhou Ye!!!”
Jiang Ran hurriedly spoke.
“Zhou Ye?”
Ah Mei smacked his lips, hooked Jiang Ran’s chin with his fingertips, and gazed at him with burning eyes:
“Just you …… are still wild? Come on, you wild one for me to see!?”
This is a damn encounter with female hooligans ah!
Jiang Ran’s heart was speechless for a while:
“Girl, have something to say …… us, how did we appear here? These companions of mine, are they …… alright?”
“Did I say it’s your turn to ask me questions?”
A Mei snorted coldly, took away the dagger, and turned around:
“What is the purpose of coming to my Yao Clan?”
“Yao clan?”
Jiang Ran froze, and sighed in his heart, he was really in the wrong place.
He had no choice but to say:
“Is this the Yao tribe? I, I don’t know ah ……”
“Don’t know?”
A Mei turned back with a wide-eyed glare:
“How dare you say you don’t know when you’re above my Yao Clan’s territory?
“I’m asking you, did the Gotham Clan send you guys here?”
“The Gothic Clan is another clan?”
Jiang Ran felt his brain hurt a little bit, this was really not known.
It’s not a play anymore ……
He had to say:
“We, we went deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountains to look for the Flute Clan.
“What’s with the Yao Clan and the Gothic Clan, where is the Flute Clan?”
“Looking for the Flute Clan?”
A Mei frowned slightly:
“What are you looking for the Flute Clan for?”
Jiang Ran didn’t know how to answer for a moment.
A Mei instantly put her dagger on Jiang Ran’s neck again:
“Speak!!!”
“I say I say!”
Jiang Ran said in a hurry:
“You put the dagger down, let’s have a talk ……
“We are looking for the Flute Clan for …… the purpose of seeking medicine.”
“Seek medicine?”
Mei raised an eyebrow:
“Who is sick?”
“A loved one at home ……”
“What disease?”
“I don’t know.”
“You lied to me!”
“Really don’t know …… know if I have long been on the right medicine, this is not really don’t know what is going on, and heard that there is a foreign race in the 100,000 mountains, can cure the disease through the bug.
“I this is with a few ladies, a come to this mountain want to look for the flute tribe, please flute tribe of the holy hand back to my family relatives to see the disease.
“This …… this clearly said that it is to go in the direction of the Flute Clan, how to walk here ah?”
Jiang Ran if intentionally, seemingly unintentionally picked the matter of ‘several ladies’ apart.
After all, this woman was just like an old hooligan who didn’t move to move on herself.
It was very upsetting.
“Madam? Several?”
A Mei looked at Jiang Ran in surprise, then looked at Poetry and the others, and couldn’t help but grin:
“With this small body of yours, and a few madams, can you handle it?”
Jiang Ran was speechless for a while, what kind of question is this?
You’re a woman asking this kind of question, aren’t you bashful?
Immediately coughed:
“Girl self-respect …… this words, you a girl family said, is really unlike words.”
“Unlike words?”
Ah Mei sneered:
“How is it not like words?
“This is something you men can say, why can’t we women say it?
“Let me tell you, amongst my Yao tribe, women are the most important and men are the least important!
“As the saying goes, when you get married, you follow the woman, and when the woman dies, you follow the woman, and that’s the rule of my Yao tribe.
“If you dare to talk to me like this, you’re not following the rules!”
Jiang Ran blinked.
No wonder this woman was the boss, and the one who greeted him in front of the fortress was also an old woman.
After all this, this group is a matriarchal clan?
