Chapter 33: Ominous Body

Si Yan remembered that one night, a strange system prompt sounded in her mind.

The system says it is called the Gate of Life.

It was activated because she completed two transactions with Ye Lanxi.

Si Yan was confused at the time and didn't care.

At this moment, she really hoped that the Life Gate System could appear again and tell her what difficulties the wild man named Konbu had encountered and whether he needed any help.

But she called out in her heart several times, but the life gate system did not respond at all, as if it had never appeared.

There is no other way, I can only rely on myself.

Si Yan showed great patience and said in a gentle tone: "Drink some water first. If there is anything I can help you with, just tell me slowly."

"Thank you, Master Moon God."

Kombu brought the bottle to his lips, and before he drank, the moist breath full of vitality cleansed his spirit, giving him the confidence and courage to overcome difficulties.

He told Si Yan.

His name is Kunbu, he is fifteen years old and the only son of Kunya, the chief of the Black Stone Tribe.

One night more than ten days ago, two moons hung high in the sky.

The old chief Kunya summoned all the tribesmen and, under the witness of Lord Moon God, he was going to pass the position of chief to Kunbu.

After the complicated prayer ceremony.

The old chief Kunya handed the only fire of the tribe to the young Kunbu, hoping that he would lead the tribe, under the blessing of the Moon God, to hunt more food, give birth to more children without rickets, and make the Black Stone Tribe stronger...

Everyone is blessing Kumbu.

The high priest's daughter Maguli put a bright lily of the valley flower on his head and smiled at him shyly.

The great warriors tap danced for him.

Kunbu was overjoyed and vowed to lead his people to a better life and try to find water for everyone before the hot summer came.

However, before he could finish his oath, the holy fire in his hand went out without any warning.

The whole audience fell silent for a moment.

Then someone shouted.

"Kumbu extinguished the sacred fire. He is an unlucky person!"

"He is not worthy to be our chief!"

"Without the sacred fire, how can we drive away wild beasts? How can we keep warm?"

"Even if we are not killed by wild beasts, we will be frozen to death in the long winter nights."

"Kumbu is the sinner of our tribe!"

"He must have blasphemed the Moon Goddess, so the Holy Fire was extinguished in his hands!"

"Only by killing him can we appease the wrath of Lord Moon God!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!!"

The great warriors who had just been tap dancing around him now gathered around him, wanting to use his blood to offer a sacrifice to Lord Moon God.

Finally, after persuasion from the old chief and the high priest, the great warrior and the tribe members agreed to lock him up in the Cliff of Repentance. If he could not find the sacred fire, he would never be able to return to the Blackrock Tribe.

The area below the Siguo Cliff is covered with dense thorns and is not only filled with carnivorous plants, but also with dizzying miasma.

Konbu persisted for more than ten days, but his coma lasted longer and longer.

He seemed to wake up twice in the middle of the process, and was knocked unconscious both times.

When he woke up again, he found the holy and gentle Moon Goddess standing beside him, giving him water to drink.

Kunbu briefly explained the cause and effect of the incident, then pointed to the light bulb above his head and said with courage.

"Lord Moon God, can you give me this treasure called 'Light Bulb'? With it, I can return to the tribe."

"I can't give this to you."

In primitive tribes without electricity, light bulbs are just decorations.

Through Kunbu's narration, Si Yan roughly understood his current situation.

She went to the box next to the counter and took out a lighter: "Does the holy fire you mentioned look like this?"

Bang!

The little blue flame made Kombu very excited: "Like, like, like." It was so similar.

Kombu was so excited that he fell to his knees, tears welling up in his eyes.

"The girl must be Lady Moon Goddess."

"Lord Moon God, I never meant to blaspheme you. You knew I was wrongly accused, so you appeared and gave me the Holy Fire, right?"

As Kunbu spoke, he knelt down and took half a step forward, pressing his forehead against the back of her feet.

This is the highest etiquette used by the Blackrock Tribe when offering sacrifices to the gods.

Si Yan didn't dodge.

She had dealt with Ye Lanxi several times and knew very well that they came from different dimensions and this was just their way of expressing gratitude.

Si Yan waited until Kunbu finished his greetings and just as he reached out to help him up, an embarrassing scene happened.

"Meiduo, what are you standing there for? Why don't you cover it up quickly?"

"oh."

Meiduo had seen enough by now, so she picked up the banana skirt that had fallen on the ground, walked over and wrapped it around Kunbu's waist.

Kunbu felt the mysterious airflow again and looked at the banana skirt that he had found again: "Lord Moon Goddess, this..."

Si Yan changed the subject: "This is the Si family grocery store. In addition to the Holy Fire you want, you can see if you need anything else and pay for it later."

Her experience told her that anything these customers from different time and space bought was a one-of-a-kind treasure.

Accompanied by her, Kombu looked carefully at each shelf.

"Lord Moon God, what is this?"

Kombu used his index finger to pick up a little white powder scattered on the shelf, put it in his mouth and tasted it. His black and white eyes suddenly widened: "Salty? This, this is salt?"

"Yes, it's table salt."

"Is this really salt?"

Konbu couldn't believe it: "But the salt soil our tribe found was black, sticky, and tasted fishy."

Si Yan said: "I am refining refined salt, which is much better than the salt soil in your wild land."

The expression on Kombu's face when he saw the salt was more surprised and excited than when he saw the sacred fire.

Most children of the Black Rock Tribe are born with rickets.

Some children, after being raised for four or five years, still cannot even crawl, let alone sit or walk.

The witch doctor in Stone Town said that this was because they did not eat enough salt soil, so they had no strength at all.

Salt soil is a scarce commodity.

Adult savages need to eat enough salt soil to have the strength to go out hunting.

How could he care about the child?

Kunbu picked up a bag of salt and looked at Si Yan with tears in his eyes: "Lord Moon God, can you give me this together with the Holy Fire?"

"Give?"

Si Yan shook her head: "I can't give it to you, but I can exchange it. You can see if you have anything valuable on you."

Ye Lanxi could find a Pluto Order worth more than 100 million yuan from her hair, so this man named Kunbu couldn't be completely empty-handed, right?

When Si Yan was muttering to herself, she saw Kunbu reaching out to fumble around on the chain, and finally pulled out a round black object and handed it to her.

"My Lord, this is a gift from my father. Can I exchange it with you for fire and salt?"

"What's this?"

"This is called Earth Spirit Fruit."

Kunbu said seriously: "Bury it in the soil, irrigate it with blood, and the flower will bloom in an instant."

When Si Yan heard the word 'blood', he quickly shook his head: "No, no, do you have anything else?"
