Three tribes, inside the tree house.
"What's going on?" The man's voice was faint, and he couldn't distinguish his emotions.
The subordinate cautiously replied, "You said let us search for it casually, because we are not very familiar with the green forest and the land, and the sky is getting dark, so the subordinate thought, it would be more convenient to wait until the daytime, but I didn't expect to send someone today When I went there, I found that the small tribe seemed to have found people back... "
"Hehe," the man curled his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes, "You knew the place in advance, but you didn't find anyone, but someone else found it first? Didn't you say that that small tribe has always been around Ten Thousand Beasts and Are you looking for someone from the two lands? Why did you suddenly go to the land of the green forest? Let them find someone in one night?"
The voice of the person who answered trembled slightly, "This, this, the subordinates don't know..."
"I don't know." The man slapped his hands twice, stood up, walked to the window, opened the branches and leaves with his fingers, and looked at the scenery outside with interest, "Their news is so well-informed, is it because you didn't do something? Okay, or do we have a ghost here?"
The subordinate's complexion turned pale, and panic swept over him. Which of these two options, will kill him.
"No, no, absolutely not, maybe they just happen to..." He trembled and replied anxiously
"Really?" The man said softly without turning his head, as if he was not angry.
Hearing that the man's attitude was mild, the subordinate calmed down a little, "Yes..."
"Just as if I believed your nonsense." The man turned around suddenly, his eyes shot at the person on the ground like a sharp sword, "That small tribe is just a coincidence, tell me, how did the tribe of the man you captured suddenly disappear overnight?" Just disappeared from the city?!"
The subordinates have a brain.
The man bent down, raised his trembling chin, his calm face became distorted, and whispered like a ghost, "You can't even kill someone?"
The subordinates were tearful and speechless.
"If he survives, let's see if you have such a good life. Come!" The man threw away his hands and sat back on the couch.
Two muscular burly men walked in.
"Clean up here." The man said lightly.
The subordinate's pupils shrank sharply, and before he could hiss and cry for mercy, a big man covered his mouth and dragged him down.
The treehouse regains its tranquility.
The man frowned a little, thoughtfully.
Immediately, he called someone in again, and whispered a few words...
The days since he came out were not too long, but Lu Yu really realized what it means to return home like an arrow.
The group of people traveled very fast. Er Dai was an ordinary person and had no training, so of course he couldn't keep up. Fortunately, they still had a wooden cart that could carry him.
Speaking of wooden carts, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel a little regretful. When he came here, he heard from the old man in the basin that horses had been domesticated in some lands. He thought it would be best to learn this skill. No matter how bad it was, he would buy a few horses back home. , As a result, all the lands were visited, and no horses were found at all. Maybe the land with horses did not participate in this great drift, and the plan to form a cavalry had to be temporarily abandoned.
At the back of the line, Er Dai was very embarrassed to sit on the wooden cart. Even the women were running, but he was the only one who was holding back. But he also knew that he couldn't ask to come down, that would only slow down everyone's speed.
What should he do
After thinking for a long time, Er Dai finally thought of a way. He took a deep breath, lifted his whole body upwards, and tried to make himself lighter, so as to reduce the burden on the person pulling him.
"Hey black boy, what are you doing?"
Ming Shan, who was originally in charge of guarding the surrounding area, moved his footsteps, just in time to see this scene, and asked with a smile.
Er Dai exhausted all his efforts to hold his breath, hesitating whether to answer him or not.
Hearing the movement behind, Le Shui, who was pulling the wooden cart, turned his head and glanced lightly.
Er Dai, who was still hesitating, turned red suddenly at this glance, and lost all strength in his body. Er Dai is really afraid of serious people, but it is different from the fear of the leader. He is more nervous and embarrassed about the person pulling the cart in front of him, afraid that he has done something wrong. Well, he is not afraid in front of the leader, because He dare not do anything...
Er Dai pinched the corner of his clothes, and said anxiously, "I, I want to make the big brother in front relax a bit..."
"Hahaha, what is it?" Ming Shan was incredulous at first, and then laughed loudly. After laughing, he asked Er Dai with malicious intentions, "Then why don't you help Le Shui carry his animal skin bag, and he should carry less things on his body. Isn't it easier?"
Er Dao was stunned. Although he felt that something was wrong, it made sense. He helped the elder brother in front carry things, so he could save some effort.
"Then I—"
"No need." Le Shui said indifferently without turning his head.
"It's useful, why don't you use it?" Ming Shan continued to encourage the second one. This black boy is so funny, he will live by this joke for thousands of years in the future.
Ming Shan encouraged him for a long time, but Er Dai didn't agree, he couldn't say a complete sentence.
After a long time, Ming Shan came to his senses, a little depressed, "Hey, why are you listening to him so much?"
This kid, didn't he want to help? Why did Le Shui lose all principles when he said something casually, and obediently listened as if he was an order, and this kid ignored his words!
Er Dai bit his lip and didn't answer next to each other.
Just at this time, a call came from the front, Ming Shan didn't dare to delay, stared blankly, and ran away quickly.
Lu Yu didn't notice the episode in the back, he was easily following Tai Lie who was running at the front, talking to him.
Lu Yu had long felt that the effect of the strength potion on his body had disappeared, and it lasted for about four or five hours. But the strange thing is that his physical strength seems to have taken a big step forward compared to before. Lu Yu dared to say that now he should have no problem facing three or four ordinary primitive people.
"Wang, Wu, what's the matter?" Ming Shan ran to the two of them.
Lu Yu asked, "Did you smell anything?"
Ming Shan raised his head slightly, sniffed, and said seriously, "There should be a herd of giant-tailed cows in the distance to our left, and the others are all harmless beasts."
"That's it." Lu Yu frowned.
Ming Shan froze for a moment, "Wu, what's wrong?"
Lu Yu shook his head and smiled, "It's okay, maybe I made a mistake."
He just vaguely felt a very powerful force in front of the right. He asked Tai Lie, but Tai Lie didn't find it. He thought it was the residual effect of the strength potion, but he asked Ming Shan, and Ming Shan didn't feel it. Maybe it was him. If you think about it too much, the strength potion can't be stronger than the Matai people who are born with perverted abilities.
Even so, Lu Yu still asked Ming Shan to come to the front of the team and be more vigilant.
Fortunately, there were no powerful beasts. Not only that, but because Lu Yu and the others walked very fast, they only came for half a day before catching up with Xia Cao, Xia Hua and others who had gone first.
Seeing Wu Ping'an's return, Xia Hua was so moved that she almost cried, and Xia Cao, who has always been steady, also had slightly red eyes.
Lu Yu didn't know how to express it, so he could only prepare an extremely sumptuous dinner when everyone stopped to rest at night, and even the fellow Blackwater tribe members were given a small piece of meat as an extra meal.
Mao Pu shamelessly touched Lu Yu's campfire and ate and drank.
"Luyu, you are really good at cooking!!" Mao Pu was reluctant to put down the piece of meat in his hand, and praised vaguely with his mouth full of oil.
Xia Hua moved her butt, a little disgusted with him, "Don't spit it out!"
Mao Pu swallowed the meat in embarrassment, took a sip of water, and cleared his mouth, "I'm sorry."
At the end of the day, Xia Hua didn't have any malicious intentions. Seeing that he apologized, she didn't say anything. Instead, she gave him another piece of meat, "Thank you for telling us the news."
Mao Pu quickly took the meat, "What's the matter, it should be."
At the end of the sentence, he paused, looked at Lu Yu and Tai Lie who had run out of food and were sitting and talking, and said hesitantly, "Well, the two leaders, I have something to discuss with you."
Lu Yu turned his head, looked at his appearance, guessed what he was going to say, raised his hand to signal, "Here are all our own people, please tell me."
Mao Pu carefully wrapped the meat that Xia Hua handed him, put it in his back basket, then took out something from it, touched it, "Bosses, actually, I know myself well. Okay, but to protect a tribe and command a battle, I really can't do it. After this incident, I'm at odds with the three major tribes, and they probably won't let us go."
He raised his head and said solemnly, "We will not go to Wanshou in the future. Look, can you take me with you? Don't worry, I will definitely clean up the tribe. No one will have second thoughts. What should be done?" Definitely complete the assigned tasks."
As he spoke, he handed the things in his hand to Tai Lie and Lu Yu respectfully, "This is a token, if you agree, please accept it."
Lu Yu looked down, "This is..."
"This is half the bone of my little finger." Mao Pu raised his left hand to show it, and grinned, "My mother cut it off when I was a child, and said that it can live a long time like this."
Lu Yu, "...that's it, why don't you still..."
Mao Pu's face was wrinkled, "Are you rejecting me?"
"No!... Sigh." Lu Yu had no choice but to exchange a look with Tai Lie, then looked around, and asked, "Xia Cao, what's your opinion?"
Xia Cao smiled gently, "You and the king are the ones to decide."
Xia Hua agreed naturally, "That's right!"
Shan Pu grinned, "I just want to fight!"
Le Shui nodded slightly.
…
Lu Yu was relieved, and finally picked up the little finger bone wearing the straw rope, and made a serious promise to Mao Pu.
"We accepted."
"As long as he doesn't betray, Taiyu will never abandon the black water."
Mao Pu's eyes brightened.
Shanpu Xiahua and the others smiled and patted Mao Pu's shoulder, "From now on, we will all be our own people!"
Mao Pu was very excited, clenched his fists and said, "Although I can't fight, I can still catch hares!"
Lu Yu straightened his face, "That's impossible."
Mao Pu was stunned, and his heart skipped a beat.
Lu Yu suddenly smiled, "Your value is not hunting hares."
Wouldn't it be a waste of money for such an excellent finance minister to hunt hares.
