Chapter 128 The missing grandson of the ape elder
Mo Mo brought Song Tianjiao to the ape tribe. Just like the first time, they were tied up and brought into the tribe. Mo Mo repeatedly told Song Tianjiao not to get angry, although she also knew that these apes were brutal.
“Ho ho ho—!”
These ape-men held stone spears and swords high in their arms, surrounded Mo Mo and Song Tianjiao who were tied to the pillars, and shouted some slogans in unison.
Until the ape-man elder with gray beard and dark skin appeared.
Fortunately, this elder was smarter than the other apes. He recognized Mo Mo, who had come last time, at a glance, and had them untied.
As Mo Mo tried hard to recall, she picked up the charcoal next to the fire and began to draw on the ground, trying to communicate with the ape elder.
"Is this their unique way of communicating?" Song Tianjiao stood behind Mo Mo, looked at the ape man, and then at what Mo Mo drew on the ground.
"Not entirely. They have their own language system, but it's obvious that we can't learn it, and there's no need to learn it. In comparison, drawing is easier to express." Mo Mo explained without stopping his hands.
Although Mo Mo really wanted to take out the token given by the elder of the Tsukuyomi tribe, but thinking about the last time Yan Mu did the same thing and killed a companion on the spot, Mo Mo decided to be more cautious this time.
however……
Mo Mo's request was rejected by the ape elder.
**
Although the request was rejected, the elder still invited Mo Mo and Song Tianjiao to his home for dinner.
There were still live mealworms on a clay bowl, dark roasted meat on a banana leaf, and a plate of fresh fruit in front of them. In such a living environment, it can be seen that this treatment is already considered as the treatment of a distinguished guest.
Song Tianjiao ate the fruit without any hesitation. The elder reached out and grabbed the piece of meat and started to break it into pieces.
Mo Mo observed his surroundings calmly.
I saw simple and chaotic wall paintings, mini stone spears and straw raincoats, and small hats placed next to big hats in the living room.
"What are you looking at? It's not nice to be a guest at someone else's house."
Song Tianjiao reached out to take the pieces of meat that the elder had cut. The elder placed the pieces of meat cut by the stone knife on the clean banana leaves, which looked quite appetizing.
"I'm just thinking about how to get him to agree to give the holy object to us personally." Mo Mo was not very interested in eating. After reaching out to take it, she chewed it with a tasteless taste, thinking as she ate.
"Didn't you just say that he has clearly rejected us? Then we can only think of another way..." Song Tianjiao ate with relish, "But we must not do things like murder, arson and robbery!"
[Does she think I want to snatch the holy object from the elder? ]
After hearing what Song Tianjiao said, Mo Mo was speechless and rolled her eyes at her.
"I suspect there are children living with the elders, but I didn't see any children twice, which is very strange."
"What's so strange about this? Judging from the size of the raincoat, it must be a very young child. The parents invite guests to dinner at home, perhaps because they are afraid that the child will make trouble or something." Song Tianjiao said disapprovingly.
"It's possible." Mo Mo thought about it and actually felt that what she said made some sense, so he didn't think about it any more.
"Clang-!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of something falling from the inner room of the earthen house.
The elderly elders hurriedly left their seats and went in to see, and Mo Mo and Song Tianjiao also hurriedly followed in.
I saw the broken clay bowl with the potion lying on the ground, and an skinny old woman lying on the mattress.
Next to the old woman stood an ape-like girl. She stood by the bed with some fear in her eyes and was squatting to pick up the debris on the ground.
After some investigation, Mo Mo and the others learned that they did have a little grandson, but the child disappeared one day, and the elder lady was shocked and fell ill, and needed someone to take care of her. The scene they saw just now was the gray-haired old lady being angry with them.
"What? You want to help?" Song Tianjiao leaned over to look at Mo Mo.
Mo Mo shrugged, "What else? Do you have a better way to obtain the holy object?"
"..."
Song Tianjiao was stunned by her words.
I learned from the elder that his grandson disappeared three years ago when he was seven years old.
However, according to the special spiritual tree in the ape tribe, the child should still be alive.
Whenever someone is born in the tribe, a fruit will grow on the tree. If someone dies, the fruit on the tree will fall off automatically...
After learning this, Mo Mo took the coal in his hand and silently crossed out the guess that "maybe he was eaten by the snake demon" on the paper.
Half an hour later.
"How is it? Are you sure? Why do I feel that... although the elder seems to have provided a lot of clues, there are no practical clues that are useful."
"Don't worry, as long as the child is still alive, we have the best chance of winning right now." Mo Mo pondered.
Perhaps it was because the old man missed his children so much that the elder's attitude towards Mo Mo was obvious. He even brought Mo Mo and Song Tianjiao to the sacred tree of their tribe without any hesitation.
It was a snow-white apple tree.
The trunks, leaves and fruits are all pure snow-white. The leaves grow densely on the grass. At the arrangement of the elders, a wooden fence is built around the grass.
A breeze blew, and the snow-white leaves fell with the wind. Just as the elder said, the apples hanging on the tree did not move.
Under the sunlight, the snow-white trees emit tiny flashes, making people feel that everything is so unreal, as if they are in a dream scene.
Afterwards, the elder took them on a tour and introduced the entire tribe, and finally came to the top of the hill surrounded by the tribe.
At the foot of the slope is a large area of emerald green grass, dancing in the wind, as if the earth was covered with a green gauze.
"Any clues?" This time it was Mo Mo who asked Song Tianjiao.
Song Tianjiao shook her head and said, "It's still the same feeling. Although I learned a lot today, it has been three years since the incident. Everything we see now may have changed subtly."
Mo Mo looked at the mini straw raincoat and tracking symbol in his hand. Even after trying many times, the tracking symbol in his hand still did not respond.
"I have the same feeling. If the tracking symbol cannot be found, then there are only two possibilities: one is that he has passed away, and the other is that he is now in a space with a powerful barrier. Since we now have the sacred tree to prove that he is still alive, the first point can be automatically ruled out. Now the main thing is to find the location of the space with the powerful barrier. It seems that this is the only method we can use..." Mo Mo sat on the hillside, enjoying the breeze and analyzing clearly.
"Huh? Have you thought of a solution?" Song Tianjiao turned to look at her.
"Go back to sleep."
Mo Mo simply threw out a sentence, leaving Song Tianjiao, who was still sitting there, confused.
"Sleep...sleep? Is this the method you mentioned?" Song Tianjiao stood up and hurried to follow.
It would be difficult to find someone with their abilities, and the area was so large that it would take a lot of time. So Mo Mo decided to go back to sleep and ask Lao Sun after entering the dream.
