But one point made Bai Qi very concerned: the temple of the Gatekeeper tribe enshrined the weapons and armor used by the angels when they slayed monsters back then.
Bai Qi was quite interested in weapons and armor.
The reason was simple.
From the first moment he saw them, Bai Qi noticed that the long spears in their hands were not ordinary, and that they were not from this planet. Therefore, whether it was the monsters coming from behind the gate or the angels saving them, they were not creatures of this world.
Bai Xu pulled Bob's hand and said, "Alright everyone, this is not a place to talk. I'll take you back to our tribe."
Upon hearing that these outsiders were to be brought back to the tribe, others hesitated. However, Bai Xu did not give them a chance to speak and pulled Bob towards the tribe.
It was precisely because of the isolated environment that the spread of monsters was prevented. But it was also for this reason that this place was still in a backward primitive era. The Gatekeepers lived in tribes, led by a highly respected tribal chief. Sultan Novel Network
And Bai Xu was the daughter of this chief.
Along the way, Bob was like a curious baby, full of curiosity about everything around him, and asked endless questions. If it were someone else, they might have gotten annoyed long ago, but Bai Xu was different. She was happy to answer Bob's questions and even enjoyed it.
Sometimes, in a group or a collective, there are always one or two eccentric individuals who dislike living by the old rules, prefer to break conventions, and yearn for so-called freedom.
Especially for a completely closed group like the Gatekeepers, there are always one or two who yearn for the outside world. Bai Xu was one of them.
However, most of these people would have their rough edges smoothed out by the collective and life. But Bai Xu was different. Her father was the chief, and for this reason, Bai Xu did not suffer too much pressure from life, allowing her more time to dream of the outside world.
It was precisely because of her longing for the outside world that Bai Xu was indifferent to the position of patrol captain, thinking that perhaps she might encounter people from the outside world someday.
And so, through Bai Xu's constant efforts, Bai Qi and the others finally arrived.
When everyone arrived outside Bai Xu's tribe, Bai Qi was stunned by the tall totems on both sides. They were two angels carved from stone, holding sharp swords. Although their faces were hidden by helmets, Bai Qi felt he had seen this attire somewhere before.
"Bai Xu, who are they?"
Just as Bai Xu was about to lead everyone into the tribe, they were stopped by a group of people from the tribe. The leader was a strong man whose weapon was a long spear made of special metal, the same as Bai Xu's and the others.
"Brother Tang, they are from the outside world."
"What! From the outside world?"
The man called Brother Tang was greatly surprised to hear Bai Xu's words and shouted to the tribesmen behind him, "Seize them!"
The tribesmen behind Brother Tang quickly acted upon receiving the order and surrounded Bai Qi and the others at the fastest speed.
At the same time, more Gatekeepers rushed from all directions, wielding their weapons.
"What's going on?"
"Don't you see? They don't seem to welcome outsiders."
Bai Qi and the others were not to be trifled with. Seeing the other party show hostility first, they immediately drew their firearms and adopted a combat stance.
Bob looked at Bai Xu anxiously, wanting her to do something.
"Brother Tang, they are good people, they are here to help us."
However, Brother Tang said impassively, "Outsiders are never good people. Their purpose here is only to steal the secret treasures of the Gatekeeper tribe and the Gate of Destruction. It was like this before, and it is the same now. Bai Xu, have you forgotten the prophecy of Elder Wu?"
Hearing Brother Tang's words, Bai Xu's body trembled involuntarily, and a hint of fear appeared in her eyes.
Through the translator given by Bai Qi, Bob could also understand what Brother Tang said. He hurried forward to explain to Wenger, but was pushed back by the tribesmen holding long spears.
Helpless, Bob could only raise his voice and shout, "Bai Xu, what prophecy?"
Brother Tang angrily rebuked Bob for his rude behavior, "Outsider, how dare you speak here!"
Bai Xu sighed helplessly and went to Bob to explain.
It turned out that in the tribe, there was a sorceress named Wu, whose exact age was unknown. She usually meditated in the temple and was served by two maids. Her status and prestige were even higher than Bai Xu's father, the current chief.
Even the ceremony for Bai Xu's father to become chief was presided over by Wu.
Until one day, Wu rushed out of the temple and prophesied in front of everyone that on a certain day in the future, a dragon would come here with its minions, and the Gate of Destruction would open again, and war would sweep across the continent.
Not a single person in the entire tribe did not believe Wu's words.
From that day on, the whole tribe took action, forging weapons and armor, building defenses near the Gate of Destruction, and organizing guards and patrols to fight against future monsters and to patrol, waiting for the so-called dragon and its minions.
But as time passed, the dragon and its minions never appeared, and most people began to question the authenticity of Wu's prophecy. Only the current chief and a few tribesmen like Brother Tang still firmly believed in it and prepared for it.
After listening to Bai Xu's narration, Bai Qi in the team broke out in a cold sweat.
The prophecy was surprisingly accurate.
Correspondingly, he was the dragon, and Harry and the others were his minions, it was a perfect match.
But Bob didn't know that and tried his best to argue, "We are all ordinary people. Look, where are the dragons among us? The prophecy isn't about us at all."
Harry couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Bob back, saying, "Why bother talking to them? A bunch of primitive people, can cold weapons block our bullets?"
With a gesture, all the combatants took their combat positions. Even non-combatants like Broldo knew that now was not the time to wait for death, and they all drew their pistols from their waists, ready for battle.
But when Brother Tang saw the firearms in Harry and the others' hands, his eyes showed undisguised disdain.
"Who gave you the courage to bare your fangs at the Angel Guard, with your backward weapons?"
"Backward weapons?"
Gaiton laughed heartily upon hearing Brother Tang's words. Although the others were not as exaggerated, they felt pretty much the same.
This was the first time he had ever heard cold weapons mock modern weapons as backward. It was utterly ridiculous.
But in the next moment, they couldn't laugh anymore.
It was like a heavy punch to their faces.
