Chapter 397: Mystery Hidden in the Black Fox Jade Code

It must be said that Zhao Ya's current medical skills are the same as his attainments in poison. Although he has not yet reached the point of resurrecting the dead, he can also be called superb.

After applying the medicine, in just a few moments, the injuries of these women have greatly improved. Although they have not yet completely recovered, at least they can walk.

Seeing this, Zhao Ya immediately led the group of people out of the valley.

As for the bodies of these Python God followers, the wild beasts in the mountains and forests will take care of them.

After leaving the Python God tribe and heading south, after passing through countless jungles, the front suddenly opened up and a large open space appeared.

The surface of this open space was gray, but the smell of rotting plants and animals in the air, as well as the suspicious puddles mixed in it, all proved that this was a large swamp.

"After passing through this swamp, it is the former base of our Xuanhu tribe." Liu Yujiao said softly, with a complicated expression on her face.

There was the sadness of revisiting the old place but seeing that everything had changed, and there was also the anger and fear of recalling the tragic experience back then.

Zhao Ya nodded, and then followed the footsteps of these women, walking along the path in the swamp.

This swamp was very wide and full of dangers.

If you are not careful, you may fall into it and be swallowed by the soft mud.

Zhao Ya was naturally not afraid.

With his current light skill attainments, he can guarantee that he will not fall even if he walks on the swamp.

But it would not work for others.

If there were no women who were familiar with the terrain leading the way, it would be difficult for ordinary warriors to break in.

So how did the Python God Tribe attack in the past?

It seemed that she guessed the doubts in Zhao Ya's heart. Or maybe it was just a feeling, Liu Yujiao whispered: "When Jing Pingsheng attacked our tribe, he broke in alone with his super strength."

"We lost convincingly, but the people of the Python God Cult are different. They bought off a traitor, sneaked in when we were not paying attention, and then launched a sneak attack."

Speaking of this, Liu Yujiao's face showed a strong disgust, and then she said with gloating: "But the traitor didn't know that after the Python God Cult achieved its goal, she would be the first to die, and she was thrown into the Python God Cave to feed the snakes while she was extremely sober."

In fact, Zhao Ya didn't ask about these things at all. Liu Yujiao was talking about it herself.

Zhao Ya just listened quietly throughout the whole process.

Finally, they passed through this large swamp and came to a high ground.

Surrounded by mountains, the scenery is very beautiful.

In addition, there are swamps in front and mountains in the back, which makes it an excellent place to live.

And just on this high ground, there are large areas of burned ruins.

From the scale of the ruins, it can be seen that the Xuanhu tribe was very powerful.

Unfortunately, after a series of disasters, only these weak women were left.

Seeing their former homes turned into this, all these women looked sad.

Liu Yujiao quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Don't cry, find the jade book for adults first!"

After that, she led people to the back of the ruins.

When they came to a huge rock, Liu Yujiao began to lean over and search.

After a long time, she seemed to have found the exact location and immediately started digging with her hands.

These women helped and soon dug a deep pit.

Zhao Ya was watching not far away.

Suddenly.

He glanced at a stone box at the bottom of the pit, and his eyes lit up.

Is this what Liu Yujiao said, the sacred jade book that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Xuanhu tribe?

At this time, Liu Yujiao and several women struggled to lift the stone box out of the pit.

"My lord, this is what our high priest had a premonition of something bad, so he ordered me and a few others to bury this jade book."

"Because I am the only one who knows the exact location, the people of the Python God Cult searched for it many times, but found nothing. Now I present it to you, which is also a little bit of our thoughts."

As she said, Liu Yujiao struggled to open the lid.

Then Zhao Ya's eyes lit up instantly.

Because when the lid of the box was opened, he felt a breath of ancient and desolate air coming towards him.

This also proved that Liu Yujiao was not lying.

This jade book is indeed a sacred object passed down from generation to generation in their Xuanhu tribe, otherwise it would not have such a magnificent aura.

Zhao Ya became interested and came forward to watch.

I saw a jade slip that looked like a book in the stone box, and there were many complex and mysterious patterns engraved on it.

No wonder it was called a jade book.

Zhao Ya reached out and gently touched the jade book.

When he touched it, Zhao Ya felt countless images flashing through his mind.

But when he tried to capture these images in detail, there was no trace of them.

It was as if the power suddenly went out.

Apart from that, there were no other abnormalities, and he could not even directly absorb the power of faith stored in it like when he touched the statue of the Python God Cult.

But Zhao Ya became more and more curious.

Although he did not see the many images that flashed by just now, Zhao Ya still felt that this jade slip was unusual at a glance.

Could it be that his perception ability was not strong enough, so he could not see through the mystery?

Zhao Ya's interest increased greatly.

This alone is worth the price of admission.

It is even more valuable than what was obtained from the Python Cult.

Liu Yujiao, who was on the side, watched Zhao Ya's words and expressions, and couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw Zhao Ya's expression of joy and curiosity.

To be honest, she had been a little uneasy before this.

Because although this jade slip has been a sacred object that has been passed down by the tribe for many years, its specific purpose has long been unknown. Even the high priest does not know what the purpose of this thing is. He just keeps enshrining it out of habit.

At that time, she thought of it in order to thank Zhao Ya and also to establish this relationship.

But she had no idea whether this thing was actually useful or whether it could satisfy Zhao Ya.

If he wasn't interested, wouldn't all his plans be in vain?

Fortunately, Zhao Ya's performance made Liu Yujiao let out a sigh of relief.

At this time, Zhao Ya also raised his head, looked at Liu Yujiao and said, "I want this thing, so... what do you want?"

Zhao Ya knew it very well.

The reason why Liu Yujiao suddenly offered the treasure was certainly not just to thank herself, but for something else.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhao Ya's question, Liu Yujiao and the women looked at each other, and suddenly they all fell to their knees.

Liu Yuhuan was left standing there with a blank look on his face, hesitated for a moment, and then knelt down as well.

Zhao Ya frowned, "Why are you always kneeling down when you have something to say?"

Liu Yujiao did not stand up, but said very solemnly: "Sir, we do have a request, and I hope you can agree to it."

"Tell me about it, let me see if I can do it." Zhao Ya did not directly agree, but left room for maneuver.

"This will be easy for you, you can definitely do it."

Speaking of this, Liu Yujiao looked sad.

"Sir, you have also seen the situation of our Xuanhu tribe now. It can be said that it has completely ceased to exist. It is not a pity for us people to die, except Yuhuan. This child is the last hope of our Xuanhu tribe, so I I hope you can take her away and leave this place.”

Liu Yuhuan was shocked when he heard this, and he instantly raised his head and looked at Liu Yujiao in disbelief.

"sister……."

"Stop talking, sister, this is for your own good!" Liu Yujiao scolded Liu Yuhuan in a very rare way, and then looked at Zhao Ya with a pleading look on her face.

Not only her, but other women also looked eager.

Zhao Ya was silent for a long time and then suddenly said: "This matter is indeed not difficult, but I have two things to ask clearly."

"Please speak!"

"This Liu Yuhuan is not your biological sister, right? What is her true identity?" Zhao Ya said lightly.

"So you have noticed it a long time ago, so let me tell you the truth. She is indeed not my biological sister. As for her true identity..."

Liu Yujiao was silent for a moment, and then she said, "She is actually the next high priest of our Xuanhu tribe."

"Oh? The next priest?" Zhao Ya asked in surprise.

"Yes, the creation of the high priest of our Xuanhu tribe is very special. Whenever the current high priest reaches old age, a gifted person will appear among the newborns of the tribe, and he will show extraordinary qualities after his birth. Come, this will be the next high priest."

"And Yuhuan is the next high priest!"

Hearing Liu Yujiao's words, Zhao Ya was a little surprised.

It sounds like the way the high priest of the Xuanhu tribe was created is very similar to the reincarnated soul boy in Tibetan Buddhism!

The difference is that the reincarnated soul boys of Tibetan Buddhism are often involved in the interests of all parties.

But this method of the Xuanhu tribe is real!

Liu Yujiao was afraid that Zhao Ya wouldn't believe it, so she continued to add: "The successive high priests of our Xuanhu tribe are all women, and they all look very similar. Yuhuan is still young, so it may not be obvious, but I think you can also see it. Here are some clues.”

Zhao Ya nodded.

Indeed.

When he saw Liu Yuhuan for the first time, he felt that this little girl had a strange appearance and seemed rather charming.

It turned out to be the reason.

"Second question, aren't you afraid of something happening to such an important person when you entrust her to me?" Zhao Ya asked.

Liu Yujiao smiled bitterly, "What accident could be more miserable than us being captured by the Python God Cult and used as sacrifices?"

"Now that the Xuanhu tribe is finished, we are all a group of unclean people, and life or death doesn't matter anymore!"

"But Yuhuan is different. She is still young, and she has the blood of Xuanhu running through her body, so she cannot be lost in this vast mountain forest, so Sir..."

Liu Yujiao looked at Zhao Ya again with a pleading look on her face, "Take her away. Leave this place. Even if you become an ordinary person outside, it is better than living alone here!"

The other women also prayed together.

As for Liu Yuhuan, she was already in tears.

But in the face of these people's pleas, Zhao Ya suddenly shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I can't take her away."

Liu Yujiao's heart suddenly fell to the bottom, and she asked with confusion: "Why?"

"Because I have my own things to do, and it's always inconvenient to have a little girl with me."

Speaking of this, Zhao Ya explained immediately without waiting for Liu Yujiao to refute.

"But I have another way. Not only can I let her leave this forest, but you can also have a foothold. If you develop well, you may even be able to restore the glory of your Xuanhu tribe in the past."

"What way?" Liu Yujiao was stunned, and then her eyes showed a brilliant light.

No one is really willing to end their lives with a withered heart.

It's just that the situation she faced before forced Liu Yujiao to do so.

Now that she heard that Zhao Ya actually had other ways, she naturally ignited the fire of hope in her heart.

"Do you know the Jijian Sect?" Zhao Ya asked back.

"Of course I know. It's a big sect famous in the whole Huawai Land. How could we not know it?" Liu Yujiao said.

"It just so happens that I am very familiar with the people of the Jijian Sect, so as long as you settle down near the Jijian Sect's base, with their help, I believe no one will dare to provoke you."

Liu Yujiao's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Because if things are really as Zhao Ya said, it is indeed a perfect solution.

But the question is, is the Jiji Sect really willing to accept this group of people?

Zhao Ya just smiled slightly, "Don't worry, others may not be able to do it, but with me, there will be absolutely no problem."

Zhao Ya was not bragging.

With his current relationship with the Jiji Sect, it is indeed not difficult for them to accept a group of weak women who have nowhere to go.

Hearing this, Liu Yujiao and others were naturally overjoyed.

Liu Yujiao was more and more grateful for her previous decision.

Although the jade book is precious, the tribe is gone, and no matter how precious it is, it is just a piece of stone.

It is better to offer it voluntarily in exchange for a precious opportunity.

It was late at night. Although Zhao Ya had no problem, these women had just recovered from their old injuries and had traveled for such a long time. If they acted overnight, they were really unable to do it.

So the group simply set up camp in a corner of the high ground.

After cooking, Zhao Ya simply rejected Liu Yujiao's suggestion that someone would accompany him and went back to his tent to rest.

The women were all exhausted and soon fell asleep.

Zhao Ya sat in the tent and sorted out the spoils he had obtained from the Python God Cult.

He was shocked when he counted them.

The things looted from the hall alone were valuable, but the most important were the snake gallbladder and the intact snake skin.

Zhao Ya picked up the snake gallbladder and observed it carefully under the lamp. Even after a day of running around, the snake gallbladder had not shrunk at all, but became more and more lively.

The same was true for the snake skin, which was smooth and delicate to the touch.

The key was that it could withstand Zhao Ya's strong pull.

You must know that with Zhao Ya's current strength, he was enough to tear steel into pieces, but the snake skin could withstand it and did not deform at all, which shows its strong toughness.

But none of these things were as valuable as the jade book he got at the end.

Although it was not obvious now, Zhao Ya's intuition told him that this thing was extremely important.
