Chapter 2282 Caveman Plus
The tribe living on Mount Targon calls itself the Rakkor. This is just a name, similar to the Eskimos, not a racial distinction. The main area of their lives is the area below the waist of Mount Targon. Ordinary Rakkor people basically live at the foot of the mountain, where the four seasons are distinct and they can farm and graze.
The elite of the Rakkor, that is, the members of the Solari, live near the waist of the mountain. The name Rakkor means "the last sun tribe". The Rakkor worship the power of the sun above all else. Those who devote themselves to this belief are the Solari.
Not all Rakkor are believers of the sun, there are exceptions. Those who dedicate their lives to religion are called Solari. Those called the Mooni secretly worship the light of the moon and carefully hide their beliefs from the Solari. Because the latter are not only numerous, but also regard them as dangerous pagans.
The Solari believe that the sun is the source of all life. To them, all other lights are hypocritical and will threaten the future of the Rakkor. If it is a threat, it must be cleared in advance, so the Sun Cult actively trains the Templars, and the priests warn the tribesmen that when their sun is destroyed, everything will fall into darkness, so the warriors of the sun must be prepared to fight against those who try to extinguish the sunlight.
However, according to Diana's discovery, a long time ago, the Sun and Moon Cults were indistinguishable from each other, lived in peace, and worshipped countless miracles in the starry sky together. Later, the two sects turned against each other, and Diana has not found any clues about the reason so far. Too much information about the Moon Cult has been erased, and it is not easy to find the remains of the Moon Cult in the underground cave.
The group did not walk on the flat territory of the Rakor tribe. Neither Diana nor Leona had the idea of involving ordinary Rakor people in the dispute.
Lin Jiu could only give up his plan with some disappointment. He originally planned to promote the Sun Church and the Sun Empire to the Rakor tribe and carry out a bottom-up reform. The two mission cores didn't have this idea, so they should start from the top and clear out all the problematic guys on the upper level.
"Oh my god~ It smells so good!" When crossing the plain, the group stopped and had a meal. Lin Jiu held the bowl and chopsticks, ate the food that Isabella had carefully processed, and sighed.
Not only did Isabella learn the essence of Xia's cooking, but the ingredients were really good. This beast, Abik, is a rare herbivore living on the plains under the Giant God Peak. Its skin is rough, like rock, just like rhinoceros skin, and the whole thing looks like a combination of cattle and sheep. Under the rough skin is meat full of milky flavor. After Isabella's processing and cooking, it immediately became a delicacy.
The beasts on the Giant God Peak have the same characteristics even if they are of different races. The thick fat layer and fluffy fur can isolate the cold wind and snow. Their unique even-hoofed hooves can stand firmly on steep slopes or narrow roads, or their barbed claws can be deeply embedded in the ice.
After a hearty meal, the group climbed up the Targon Peak. As the altitude continued to rise, Lin Jiu and others gradually saw the Rakor warriors who belonged to the Sun Cult, who were different from ordinary Rakor people.
Without Diana being exposed, they could naturally travel unimpeded on the Targon Peak. And they also had Leona leading the way, so it was unlikely that they would be hindered. It can be seen that these Rakor warriors held gorgeous golden spears in their hands, and a sword for close combat was hung on the outside of the armor.
The weapon style of the Moon Cult is completely different from that of the Sun Cult. It can be seen from the weapons in Diana's hands that their weapon style design focuses more on elegance and slenderness, which is easy to hide and carry, and suitable for action in the dark night.
As the climbing height increases, the road becomes steeper. They have walked through many man-made plank roads. These plank roads are the stone roads and stairs carved out by the Rakor people along the original trend of the rocks at the bottom of the mountain. At the same time, heavy curtains are hung with tied ropes to block the long wind and snow.
That's right, it's the lower part of the mountain. You can already see the height of the clouds on the edge. For the Targon Peak, it can only be regarded as the lower part. Going up, there are more extreme climates and wind and snow, so the Rakor people carved out maze-like passages and tunnels in the mountain to avoid the wind and snow.
Lin Jiu saw the living environment of the Rakor people on the mountain. They carved out their houses, homes, bridges and temples based on the mountain. The dome feature of the circular stone chamber symbolizes the star creatures that created this world. This unique living environment, how to say it, in Lin Jiu's opinion, is "Shantou Caveman Plus".
Leona and Diana both know the location of the Fiery Sun Temple. The entrance of the Fiery Sun Temple is located on the east side of the mountain and is built of marble wrapped with gold wire. The people of the Fiery Sun Sect carefully carved out the windows of the temple so that sunlight can accurately shine into the inner hall at the equinoxes and solstices of the year.
According to Leona, when there is a dispute on Mount Targon, the Sun Priests will meditate in the most remote sanctuary in the temple, fasting and depriving themselves of water for weeks, relying only on the energy of the sun, the energy that grows everything, to sustain their lives.
Lin Jiu: Photosynthesis?
"Are you going to return to the Sun Cult first, or join us?" Lin Jiu planned to do the side quest first. If nothing unexpected happened, the Sun Cult would probably have learned the information they brought.
Since there are abnormalities in the current Fiery Sun Sect, they will definitely take some actions. The more actions they take, the more traces they will be exposed. Lin Jiu will certainly give them a chance to make a move.
As the goddess of dawn, Leona has been in the Fiery Sun Sect for so long, but she can only vaguely sense abnormalities and cannot find clues. It is probably not easy to investigate the clues seriously. It is better to give the other party a sense of threat and let the other party expose themselves.
Of course, the main reason is that Lin Jiu wants to complete the long-term task more perfectly, so he slightly considers Leona. Otherwise, no matter how deep you hide, as long as you slaughter the people of the Fiery Sun Sect, you will definitely not be able to hide.
The Fiery Sun Sect is on the east side of the Giant God Peak, and the entrance to the ruins of the Bright Moon Sect is on the west side of the mountain. The road from the east to the west is also extremely dangerous. With the influence of temperature, wind and snow, those below the fourth level strength will be in danger of life just by walking this road.
The threats on the Giant God Peak are not only caused by the extreme climate. The creatures that survive in such an extreme environment often evolve into terrible monsters in this place where the most star power gathers. It is difficult for the Fiery Sun Sect to completely occupy the area below the mountainside of the Giant God Peak. In addition to the terrain factors, these monsters hidden in the ice and snow are also a problem.
For example, Lin Jiu and his party have encountered an ice armor monster. This monster is about the size of a calf, and its skin is covered with thick ice armor, flashing a cold cold light. These ice armors are covered with cracks and uneven textures, like traces left by the erosion of time and glaciers. The limbs are thick and powerful, like four huge ice pillars, and every step makes the ground rumble.
The monster's limbs are covered with sharp ice blades and sharp ice spikes. These ice spikes can allow this monster to ignore the steepness of the mountain and walk on the cliffs as if it were flat ground.
On the steep and dangerous mountain road, they encountered such a monster, and it was not just one. At a glance, they were surrounded by more than a dozen ice armor monsters.
