Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords

Sam led the group to the wooden house he had specially built.

The house wasn't very big, and the items inside were cluttered. The walls were decorated with goat heads and various unknown animal teeth.

Crude layers of wall panels also held various stone powder-ground dyes, feathers of various colors, and strange things in bottles and jars.

It was full of mystery.

This wooden house completely satisfied Li Wei's inherent impression of shamans. Only these shamans in the wilderness would decorate their residences like this, whether to increase their own mystery and make people more awed, or something else, was unknown.

After turning an unknown beast head that served as a decoration in the house, the ground, which was originally covered with animal skins, revealed an underground passage full of traces of time with a series of "clanging" sounds.

The dark passage, large enough to accommodate an adult and extending downwards, was like a giant abyss about to devour life.

Everyone was a little surprised. This passage clearly had at least several hundred years of history. It was one thing that the mechanism could still be activated, but they didn't expect it to appear in a savage tribe.

"Please come in, sir," Sam said obsequiously, stepping aside.

Li Wei just looked at him with a smile, without moving his body at all.

Sam's expression froze. As an old fox, he naturally knew what this meant. He chuckled and lit a torch, taking the lead into the passage.

Only then did Li Wei nod in satisfaction.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. If this old bastard had joined the system team just now, he wouldn't have minded showing off a wave of trusting people and not doubting them, demonstrating the demeanor of a monarch.

But this old boy was jumping back and forth, so Li Wei had to be cautious.

Just as he was about to follow, Zha Te stopped him.

"Boss, I'll go first!"

Zha Te took off his exaggerated bull horn helmet, held a torch in one hand and a fine steel double-edged battle axe in the other. Facing the relatively narrow passage, his tall and sturdy body bent over and squeezed in.

Li Wei understood after thinking for a moment and didn't stop him.

Yes, he was no longer the lone wolf he used to be. He had a large family under him looking up to him for food.

I'm afraid this group of people valued his life more than he did himself.

Maybe one day when it got cold, they would take the initiative to add a piece of clothing for him.

Leaving five barbarians to guard at the entrance of the passage, Li Wei, protected by Zha Te and Mu Tuo, walked in.

In this kind of narrow place, if they really encountered a danger that even he couldn't resist, it would be useless for more orcs to enter. A small number of people would be more conducive to him发挥.

The downward passage was only about two 'ren' high and one and a half 'ren' wide, just right for humans, but Zha Te and Mu Tuo had to bend over all the way.

Here, underground, except for the entrance, the surrounding sealed stone walls cut off the possibility of any light entering.

Even under the illumination of the torch, the visibility in the dark passage was still no more than three 'ren'.

"It's so dark here." The lord's words immediately echoed in the passage, sounding very hollow.

"It's so dark here..."

"Dark here..."

"Ah..."

"Sir, there's an echo in here, you have to be quieter." Sam suddenly appeared at a corner holding a torch, his wrinkled face revealing a strange smile in the light.

"Damn, you want to scare this duke." Li Wei cursed and directly gave him a flick on the forehead: "Hurry up and lead the way."

Sam looked aggrieved, moved the torch away from his face, rubbed his sore neck, and continued to lead the way.

"The air here is quite fresh, you can clearly feel a breeze blowing out of the cracks in the stone."

"There should be a dedicated ventilation channel to the outside."

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Sam suddenly stopped moving forward, but used the torch to light the piles of firewood that appeared in sight one by one.

These dried pine woods were full of oil and more flammable than highly concentrated liquor. It seemed that Sam had prepared them in advance.

The dark space gradually became as bright as day with the burning firewood.

Unlike the narrow passage in front, this was an underground stone chamber, and the surrounding cyan-black stone walls had obviously existed for an unknown amount of time.

The stone chamber was very empty, with only a stone platform in the center. On the stone platform was an egg the size of a palm, but unfortunately, this egg seemed to be carved out of stone, with exquisite patterns similar to clouds and trees all over its surface.

"Sir, this is where I hid the magic scroll. In fact, this is also where I found it."

Sam walked to the stone platform and bowed piously, as if what was in front of him was not a stone egg, but the god he believed in.

"Is this a dragon egg?"

The bumpkin lord, who had never seen the world, asked a soul-like question.

"Dragon egg?" Sam sneered, very disdainful, and then bowed slightly to Li Wei, putting his hand on his chest, "Sir, please allow me to keep you in suspense."

At this moment, the shaman's aura was different, like those knowledgeable old scholars in Wangting University.

"Although the Evil Tooth Tribe is just an ordinary tribe in the Kas Mountains, its history is actually very long. Even without written words and books passed down, our true origins have always been recorded in the oral traditions of our ancestors."

"In the past, the Kas Mountains were not like they are now, with countless large and small scattered tribes. There used to be a country here—the Country of the Mountains, that was its name."

"And you are the people of the Country of the Mountains?" Li Wei timely offered a supporting line.

"That's right, the large and small tribes in the Kas Mountains were actually all people of the Country of the Mountains before."

"The Country of the Mountains worshiped the Goddess of Nature and was a subject of the Goddess of Nature, but after the Country of the Mountains was destroyed, the Goddess of Nature also disappeared."

"Damn! Don't tell me this egg is what this Goddess of Nature transformed into."

Li Wei's heart was pounding, and he felt a sense of suffocation enveloping him.

What could be clearly known was that in the magic era thousands of years ago in the Middle Ages, these gods were truly real, and those powerful dragons or magical creatures were nothing compared to these gods.

No wonder Sam was so disdainful of the dragon earlier.

Li Wei didn't expect this group of northern barbarians to have such a history, which was quite shocking in the current situation.

Even Zha Te, the big fool, unconsciously showed a trace of awe on his face.

Orcs also worship the Orc God, and although this Goddess of Nature was not what he worshiped, she was worthy of respect as a god.

"That's not the case, it's just that this egg carries the exclusive imprint of the Goddess of Nature, and it is clearly related to the Goddess of Nature," Sam explained.

This made Li Wei secretly relieved, although he didn't show it on his face.

As long as anything in this world is related to gods, it is worth being very vigilant about.
