The person standing on the branch is wearing animal skin without hair, which is more finely treated skin. The stripes on the animal skin look very similar to this mountain forest. Dark green and light green are intertwined. If the breath is hidden in the woods, it will definitely be difficult for people to detect.
This kind of clothing is actually not a special case. When the temperature is slightly warmer, many people Shao Xuan has seen will wear such animal skin clothing. The most special thing about the man on the branch is the mask on his face.
At first glance, it looks like a mask with a pattern on it, but in fact, this mask is a specialization of a part of their facial bones, and the lines on those masks are revealed by the power of totems. totem pattern.
The invisible murderous aura spread, and the surrounding birds that were pecking at the carrion also rushed to flap their wings to leave.
There were a lot of birds gathered in the corpse pile, and these birds flew up at the same time, as if pulling a black veil, and the figures on the opposite side also appeared faintly.
Zha swallowed his saliva, and clenched the stone knife in his hand, and the tip of the knife unconsciously pointed to that side, guarding against those who appeared. He didn't even notice when the other party appeared!
At the same time as these birds were flying, a figure jumped down from a height, splitting the black curtain made of carrion birds like lightning, heading straight to Zha, and slashed down at Zha.
There is no extra action, just this knife, but this knife makes Zhan feel as if tens of millions of blades are slashing head-on, and the power from this knife comes instantly, it seems that no matter where he hides, this stone knife will Chase away.
Zha's expression froze, and his body seemed to be stuck in a quagmire. He wanted to struggle, but his body didn't obey.
At this moment, Zha regretted it very much.
What are you doing here? Can't you drag the deer away? What did your grandfather say before leaving the tribe, don't be overly curious, you should leave far if you find something unusual!
Zha smelled the clearest breath of death in his life, and maybe the next moment, like those in the corpse pile, he would be slashed with a knife and thrown here, becoming food for those lingering carrion birds in the sky.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed his shoulder and dragged him back quickly. A very sharply polished stone knife appeared on his head, blocking the knife from the head. On the impact, where the collision occurred, the fine debris of the stone knife splashed.
Under the knife qi of both sides, the heart beats wildly, and there is a feeling of trembling for the rest of his life. But he also knew that now was not the time to think too much. If it wasn't for Shao Xuan's action, he would have ended up with those people in the corpse pile. Standing here, he couldn't help either, so he quickly took a few steps back to make more room for Shao Xuan.
Although the opponent's aura was very strong, Zha was stunned by the sudden aura just now, and he couldn't react immediately, but Shao Xuan also faced the hunters who often fought with the beasts in the mountains and forests. Ferocious beasts who are good at hiding and attacking can naturally handle it.
He held the hilt of the stone knife in one hand, and after throwing away the scorpion with the other hand, he supported the back of the knife with the palm of his hand, holding the knife in both hands, to hold the opponent's sudden knife.
If it were an ordinary stone knife, if it was hard to hold it, it would probably be scrapped in an instant, and the one that Shao Xuan is holding now is a knife that Wu gave to Shao Xuan, and it was also the site where he once came from the stone worm king worm. One of the stone tools that he brought back when he found his ancestor. When he left the tribe, Wu deliberately had it polished and brought it to Shao Xuan.
When he left the tribe, among the knives he brought, except for the tooth knife that Lao Ke had polished again, this one was the only one. The dental knife has been shrunk a lot after being broken and polished several times, and this stone knife is larger. Shao Xuan uses this one when he fights with people on weekdays.
The moment he held the knife, Shao Xuan felt a strong knife energy, and through the stone knife, it hit his arms. But Shao Xuan was not afraid, his arm with the totem pattern violently pushed the opponent out.
The two people who were pushed away quickly retreated until they returned to the tree where he was standing just now, staring at Shao Xuan, and the eyes exposed from the mask were full of doubts and surprises.
When Zha was thinking about whether to take out the poisonous thorns from the animal skin bag, the masked man left quickly and did not attack them again.
After taking a closer look at his surroundings, Zhan heaved a sigh of relief.
From the sudden violent attack of the opponent, to the moment Shao Xuan blocked the opponent, the confrontation was quiet for a moment, and then the two sides separated and the other party left, but it was only a breath of time.
Zhayuan thought that if he could master how to use frog poison, he would have the ability to protect himself. Now, it seems that he is still very tender, and most of the time, absolute strength suppresses him, and he will not give you time to use poison at all.
Now Zha can clearly recall the icy cold feeling that seemed to have frozen his entire body when he was slashed head-on by that knife just now.
"Scared me to death!" Zha Chang gasped, and didn't dislike the rancid smell here, even if it was a more foul smell, it was better than death.
"Thank you, Shao Xuan, if it weren't for you, I would be like those people." Zha said. He didn't expect that Shao Xuan would be so powerful. He thought that the person who appeared with the Embrace tribe was just an unknown tribesman, but he didn't expect that he was younger than himself, but stronger than himself. No wonder grandpa asked him to follow Shao Xuan when he was on the road before departure, but he didn't say to let him follow other Pu tribe people. Thinking about it, the old man had already seen who was strong and who was weak. Sure enough, in terms of eyesight, he was not as good as the family. That old man.
"Let's leave quickly." Shao Xuan said, looking at the carrion birds that flew down again.
"That's right, let's leave quickly." Zha turned around and ran, took a few steps, turned a corner, and walked towards the deer.
The frog poison smeared on the quiver blowing out of the quiver was so strong that the deer still lay there.
Zha didn't care about slaughtering the deer, he dragged the deer and left. Now he just wanted to leave such a place full of death as quickly as possible. No wonder those people in the expedition team quickly avoided the tribal war as soon as they encountered it, and they would really be implicated.
When he finally saw the team resting on the shore and met people moving around, Zha slowed down. At this time, he remembered the doubts just now, and looked at Shao Xuan: "You said, which tribe did that person belong to? The other party is very strong."
Shao Xuan recalled the other party's masked face and said, "Thousand faces."
As far as Shao Xuan knows, there is only one such tribe, and it is also the first one that Shao Xuan has seen so far. The tribe is recorded on the animal skin scroll handed down by the ancestors of the Yanjiao tribe—the Thousand Faces Tribe .
According to the records of the ancestors, after the awakening of the totem warriors in this tribe, they will form masks with their own characteristics, and such masks are actually when the power of the totem is used, the facial bones are specialized, covering the entire face. .
The masks on the faces of everyone in the Thousand-faced Tribe are different. Even if they look the same, there are bound to be some subtle differences, just as there are no two identical leaves in the world.
In the Thousand-faced tribe, some people's masks are very ferocious, like evil spirits, while others are very ordinary, or look very peaceful; some are smiling, some are angry, and there are thousands of people. Thousands of different masks. This is the Thousand Faces Tribe.
The totem pattern of the Thousand Faces Tribe is a strange mask. Shao Xuan once saw it on the wall of the stone room in the cave near the foot of the Yanjiao tribe. totem logo.
"Thousand-faced?" Hearing this word, Zhayi didn't react for a while, but after thinking about it, he recalled something, with a look of shock, "'Thousand-faced' tribe?!"
The Thousand-faced Tribe is too far away for the people of the Pu tribe who have always lived in the fringes, but Zha has also heard many people talking about the Thousand-faced Tribe. Although it is only some rumors, many of which are exaggerated, it is undeniable that the Thousand Faces Tribe is a powerful tribe.
"How on earth did the killed people provoke the Thousand-faced Tribe? I remember that on the map they drew in the team, the place where the Thousand-faced Tribe was located is a little far from here. If there was no major event, they would not come here." It is speculated that this seemingly tribal war is actually the cause of the unilateral massacre.
"Who knows." Shao Xuan said absently.
The tribes that can be written down by the ancestors of the Yanjiao tribe, and the tribes that are in their hearts and are still painted on the murals, must be on the same level as the Yanjiao tribe of the year. general attitude.
Since Zha said that the Thousand-faced tribe is a powerful tribe here, and it has always been very famous, then, was the Yanjiao tribe at the same level as the Thousand-faced tribe
Shao Xuan is still unable to know that in the past thousand years, some tribes have disappeared, and new tribes have appeared. It's just that no one remembers the Yanjiao tribe.
This is really a sad thing. If the ancestors who died in the tribe knew about it, I wonder if they would climb out of the fire pit crying.
Not long after Shao Xuan and Zhan returned to the Farstrider team, the people who were sent out by several leaders to inquire about the situation also returned.
"The tribe that was slaughtered, I heard that it went to rob the fire crystal of the Thousand-faced tribe, and also killed several children of the Thousand-faced tribe. They were chased to the old nest, and the entire tribe was slaughtered. Extinct cleanly."
"Tsk, how dare they provoke the Thousand Faces Tribe?"
"That's right, isn't that courting death? We usually meet people from big tribes, even children, we don't dare to offend them."
Probably, those people thought they would do it without knowing it, but they didn't want to bring disaster. Or maybe they also thought about it, but greed will always make people risk their lives.
Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Shao Xuan had a different experience. In the powerful tribe, even if the children with weak combat power are outside, there are many people who dare not mess with it. After all, things like today are a minority, and most people think the same as the far-reachers.
This is the influence of the big tribe. Just hearing a name and seeing a totem can make people dread.
