Putting the stone into the animal skin bag, Shao Xuan looked at Fu Nan and asked, "Is something wrong?"
"Oh, yes, there is something!" When he saw that Baoyu gave stones to people just now, he just paid attention to that, and almost forgot what the leader explained.
Because the crisis of the Empress Tribe has been lifted, there will be no major changes for at least a year. He heard that the Yanjiao tribe will be leaving in a few days. The leader Fanmu plans to invite several important figures from the Yanjiao tribe to a banquet .
This is the custom of the Embrace Tribe. For important guests, they will bring out the best food to invite each other to enjoy as a token of gratitude. However, this time there are too many people in the Yanjiao Tribe, so naturally it is impossible to call them all. Only the high-level executives of Yanjiao and the warriors who played an important role in this incident were invited. As for the others, although they cannot go there together, they will also bring some food over.
Shao Xuan took Fu Nan to see Ao and Wu, and they agreed to the invitation and would go to the heart of the Zang tribe this evening.
The reason why it is active at night rather than during the day is because Fanmu wants to use water moon stones to lining it, to show attention, and it will not have that effect in the daytime.
In the evening, Ao ordered fifty people to go there with Wu, including Shao Xuan.
Probably to take care of the people of the Yanjiao tribe, from the fleet to the place where the banquet was held, pieces of water moon stones were arranged as light sources, so that the people of the Yanjiao tribe could see the surrounding situation clearly.
At this time, the moonlight is enough to illuminate, and the light of Shuiyueshi is not inferior to the moonlight. Walking in the woods, Shao Xuan has the feeling of turning on the street lights.
There is an open space in front of Fanmu's house, and there are fires on the ground. Food is being roasted on the fire, and soup is still cooking in a large pot on the side.
On the surrounding wooden pillars, the water moon stones are stacked to illuminate the surroundings.
It was a very simple dinner party, but here, it was already a grand event.
And the warriors of the Yanjiao tribe didn't mind this kind of dinner. When they were in the tribe, they would sit in a circle around the fire, and then grilled food and brag about it. Naturally, they would not be uncomfortable.
In this dinner, in addition to thanks, Fanmu also asked if the Yanjiao tribe needed to go to the Pu tribe to trade together. Soon after the Water Moon Festival every year, the Pu tribe would have a trading team to go to the Pu tribe to exchange for it. something.
Hearing that they could go to other tribes to see the transaction, the warriors of the Yanjiao tribe who were brought over looked at Ao with shining eyes, hoping that Ao would agree.
Chewing on the meat, Ao was silent for a few seconds, then said, "You don't need to go all, just go with ten people."
With that said, Ao Ben ordered ten people on the spot, including Shao Xuan. After all, Shao Xuan also knew about it, and he was more at ease with Ao.
"Boss, me, and me!" Ni Ni, who was not named, quickly reminded.
Ao glanced at him and said nothing. This stuff always feels unreliable.
In this defensive battle, he has indeed made a lot of contributions. The number of "prey" reported in the report ranks in the top five. The people of the Yanjiao tribe will not falsely report the number of their prey. They dare not, in his consciousness , When facing leaders, witches, and big bosses, there is never a word like "false report" or "false report", unless you don't know how to count, generally speaking, the number of reports is true and credible.
Nii Ni has made such a great contribution to himself, but he was not allowed to follow him to trade, and he was a little sad. When the banquet was over, when the people from the Yanjiao tribe returned, Ni Ni still pestered Ao to convince Ao to agree.
Before leaving, Shao Xuan was one step behind Ao and others. He and the leader of the trading team of the Yan tribe had a clear understanding of the current situation of the Xiapu tribe.
By the time Shao Xuan asked and left, Ao Ji and the others had already returned to their resting places, ready to sleep.
Shao Xuan was walking in the woods alone, the surrounding water moon stones had not been put away, they were lined up on one side like street lamps, and the shadows cast by the branches swayed on the ground.
Raising his head, Shao Xuan looked at the night sky. The two moons, which had begun to turn from round to short, hung on the dark sky, and there were no stars around.
There are no electric lights, no pollution, no mechanical tools, and no comfortable hotels. What you breathe in your lungs is the slightly humid air with a smell of the forest, and what you can see is the endless nature.
The evening wind blew, and the leaves on the surrounding trees squeaked, and Shao Xuan could clearly feel the change in the airflow after the wind hit the tree.
Closing his eyes, he lost his vision, but instead made Shao Xuan's other senses more sensitive.
He could hear the friction between the leaves, the laughter of the tribal people in the distance, and the sound of the crocodiles moving in the pond from some places.
The change of wind speed, the direction of airflow, and keen senses can allow Shao Xuan to identify where there are trees around and where there are obstacles.
feet up, one step, two steps...
Avoid tree trunks, bypass bushes, and step over raised clods in the ground.
Shao Xuan walked faster and smoother. Everything around him had formed a three-dimensional graph in his mind. From this graph, he could accurately judge where there was an obstacle.
He even had a feeling that if he wanted to, as long as he had enough time, he could even count the number of branches that were thicker than an arm on the tree more than ten meters high next to him, and count the number of branches on each branch. the number of leaves.
OK!
This feeling is getting clearer.
Maintaining this state, Shao Xuan slowly integrated into this natural forest, and walked freely with his eyes closed in this unfamiliar forest.
Walking along, Shao Xuan found that on the three-dimensional figure formed in his mind, there were light spots one by one, most of which were a little far away from him. Those moving light spots were faintly similar to water moon stones. bright white.
Those are the people of the Aboriginal tribe
If you feel it carefully, Shao Xuan can still have some vague sense of familiarity, Fuyu, Qingyi, Fanmu... and so on.
Part of it was in the place where the banquet was held, part of it was patrolling in the forest, with only one exception!
In front, there is a moving light spot, coming here, this light spot is not like the lustrous white of the tribal people, but an inconspicuous gray. If you are not careful, it is easy to miss this light spot. .
Not from the Aboriginal tribe
Very unfamiliar, and naturally not from the Yanjiao tribe.
So, who is it
Shao Xuan opened his eyes and looked forward.
There were almost no footsteps, but the other party was approaching.
Shao Xuan stood on the spot, holding the handle of the knife in his hand, and looked over there quietly.
Probably because of the discovery of Shao Xuan, the other party no longer concealed his movements, and the footsteps gradually became louder, but they also controlled the sound and rhythm, just like the speed and sound of the patrolling personnel of the Mo tribe.
A burly figure came out, looking at his body shape, he was similar to many warriors of the Emblem Tribe, and he also wore the same clothes.
"Are you from the Flaming Horn Tribe?" The other party's rough voice said casually and familiarly, just like other people from the Emerald tribe treat the Flaming Horn Tribe.
As the other party approached slowly, Shao Xuan also saw his appearance clearly.
Very standard tribal look.
"You are from the patrol team? What's your name?" Shao Xuan asked.
The other party smiled, as if a little embarrassed and hard to say.
"I'm just being lazy, come out for a walk..." The other party said, but his words slowly slowed down. Finally, he stopped before finishing a sentence.
"It's really sharp." The other party glanced at the knife in Shao Xuan's hand, and then looked at Shao Xuan's defensive posture without the slightest suspicion, and also understood that he was recognized, so he didn't waste time making up reasons, and even the tone of voice changed. .
"Actually, I'm just a spectator," he said. The voice cannot tell the age, nor the gender.
clack clack clack-
With the sound of the bones, Shao Xuan discovered that the figure of the other party was changing. From being burly and stout just now, he lost weight, as if he had been deflated, and his face was also changing. appearance.
Bang!
There was a muffled sound like a wooden stake falling to the ground.
The opponent stomped on the ground abruptly, losing weight like dry wood-like legs, but it seemed to have the strength of steel. The fluctuations caused by the powerful force sprayed out from the place where the feet touched, and the weeds on the ground were violently torn, breaking into small debris, and the slightly dry and hard clods between the grasses were instantly smashed into dust.
The opponent stepped on the ground and rushed straight to Shao Xuan. The whole leg that was thrown over was like a cold war knife, drawing an arc in the air, and the energy he brought up broke through the air and slashed towards Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan did not intend to take this leg forcibly, but chose to retreat and dodge.
One leg kicked in the air, and the other party didn't stop, like a poisonous snake biting tightly, and bouncing off the ground again, as if it was about to do it again.
However, to Shao Xuan's surprise, after stepping on the ground this time, the figure of the other party disappeared from the original place, not hiding, but really running away.
Shao Xuan: "..."
Since the other party was exposed, only two steps have been taken.
In the first step, he threw a leg towards Shao Xuan. His aura was as fierce as the claws of a beast and the teeth of a poisonous snake. It seemed that he wanted to fight Shao Xuan to the death. However, in the second step, he suddenly changed his style. The momentum, ran away.
Shao Xuan didn't catch up anymore. The other party acted strangely and escaped at a high speed. It was not easy for him to catch up and catch people, not to mention that the opponent's strength was not weak. Furthermore, that person gave Shao Xuan the feeling that he had no killing intent. Even the aggressive kick he kicked just now was just empty and powerful, but had no real killing intent. He opened his mouth to reveal sharp teeth and claws. If you scare people, retreat immediately.
Shao Xuan looked at the direction in which the other party disappeared and wondered in his heart, who is this
When he was in the Mo tribe, he also met people who were good at disguising and hiding, but they were not from the Yi tribe.
Could it be that this is the "piracy" that the people of the Eng tribe once said
His purpose is to steal the water moon stone? It shouldn't be, there are so many along the road, and there is no one missing.
So, as he said, just a spectator
When encountering a suspicious person, Shao Xuan naturally wouldn't hide it. He took out a wooden whistle and blew it. The patrolling personnel of the nearest tribe of the tribe came to this side, and the people who had not yet dispersed on the side of Fanmu heard the whistle and came to Shao Xuan. They did not understand the whistle of the Yanjiao tribe, but they did not understand the whistle. You know, if it's a trivial matter, Shao Xuan won't blow the whistle.
Not only the members of the Eng tribe, but the members of the Yanjiao tribe who had just returned to the temporary residence to lie down, also immediately turned over and got up, but did not go over to Shao Xuan, but vigilantly pay attention to the surroundings, they could know Shao from the whistle sound. Xuan meaning. Just be vigilant, no need to go.
