On the ground, thirty-nine skull birds and a black prison dog were all killed.
Seeing this scene, the children and teenagers from the Jiuyou tribe burst into cheers, jumping for joy and beaming with joy.
In their eyes, these ferocious beasts are just piles of food, which are their greatest guarantee of survival, meaning that they no longer have to worry about hunger persecution for a long time.
Xiao Cen stood on one side, her little face full of pride. She was also very proud of being able to make such a great contribution to the clan. Unfortunately, eldest brother Chen Xi was not here and could not share her joy...
Thinking of this, Xiao Cen felt a little depressed.
These days, she takes care of Chen Xi who is lying on the bed day and night, partly because of the priest's instructions, and partly because he likes to talk to Chen Xi.
From Chen Xi's mouth, she learned a lot of things that she didn't know before, and it seemed as if a door had been opened for her. Inside the door was a strange, magnificent and colorful world, so interesting and novel.
In addition, Chen Xi was kind to her and had a gentle attitude, which made her feel like she was being cared for. Unknowingly, she seemed to have regarded Chen Xi as her good friend.
Mengwei's body was tall and strong, but his movements were extremely fast. He was like a cheetah galloping up and down, with a unique mysterious rhythm, and he quickly flew over among the dead bodies of the ferocious birds.
His rough and broad eyebrows had a look of shock at some point, "I checked and found that they all died after their souls were shattered. One blow was fatal. This shows that the person who took the shot had extremely powerful spiritual cultivation." , many times stronger than you and me!"
Moya was startled and said in astonishment: "Spiritual attack? If this is true, wouldn't a top master appear nearby?"
Meng Wei nodded and suddenly said, "Do you think... could it be brother Chen Xi?"
"he?"
Moya was startled again, and then said disdainfully: "How can his weak body support such a huge spiritual consciousness? I would rather believe that it was those aliens who did it, and it couldn't be him!"
"Moya!"
Meng Wei suddenly frowned, a look of anger appeared on his majestic face, and there was even more hatred, and he scolded in a low voice: "I said, don't mention the word alien again in the future!"
Moya pursed her lips and remained silent. She could understand Mengwei's mood and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
Mengwei took a deep breath and his expression returned to normal. He glanced at Moya and waved, "Okay, pack the food and let's go back to the camp together."
With that said, he began to direct the little guys to carry the carcasses of the bone birds, while he carried the black prison dog as big as an ox alone.
In the camp, smoke curled up from the cooking pots, and soon a mouth-watering aroma of meat spread out.
Adults and children sat on the floor, grabbing the golden and buttery barbecue and munching on it. The atmosphere was very lively, and everyone's face was filled with unconcealable joy.
The harvest this time was undoubtedly huge. The dozens of bone birds and a black prison dog were enough for them to eat for a long time, which meant that they no longer had to worry about hunger for the time being.
Along the way, they were frugal and frugal, even reluctant to throw away animal bones, wishing they could make dozens of pots of bone soup. Now that they suddenly got such a rich food, they naturally wanted to eat it and treat their stomachs well. .
In this lively atmosphere, the animal skin tent representing the sacrifice to the Lord was suddenly opened from the inside, and a scrawny old man came out tremblingly.
Uh-huh!
When I saw this old man, just for a moment, the bustle in the camp suddenly disappeared without a trace and became quiet. Every look towards the old man was full of admiration.
Similarly, they were also a little surprised. You must know that the priest had never left the animal skin tent during this trek, and now he actually came out in person. Did something happen
Soon, they vaguely understood.
Because they saw the outsider Chen Xi walking out behind the priest, they guessed that the appearance of the priest must be related to this person.
The old man walked to the center of the camp. Although he was as skinny as firewood, his figure was tall and his demeanor was calm. He had an aura of pampering. He glanced at the people around him with his cloudy eyes and said hoarsely: "I came out this time just to announce one thing." , that means that from tomorrow on, Chen Xi will be responsible for all affairs in our tribe, and Meng Wei and Moya will also listen to Chen Xi’s orders, do you hear me clearly?"
What? Let this outsider serve as the leader of their Jiuyou tribe in the future
The entire audience was stunned and almost couldn't believe their ears.
This is too ridiculous. How can a sick man who was seriously injured and almost died, an outsider who has just been taken in by his own tribe, be their leader
Meng Wei's face also changed, and he frowned. He also did not expect that the priest who respected him as a god in his heart would suddenly announce such a thing at this moment.
Could it be that, Master Priest, he is dissatisfied with himself as the leader
Meng Wei's brows furrowed into a frown. Even with his open-minded and open-minded character, he couldn't accept the scene in front of him for a moment.
He was not greedy for the authority as the leader, but he was worried about whether Chen Xiruo would be able to lead them to their destination safely if he became the leader.
If something unexpected happens, it will be a huge disaster!
After all, since they left their ancestral land and traveled to this day, they have lost too many clansmen along the way. It can be said that the reason why these people are alive today is all because of the lives and blood of those sacrificial clansmen.
Can an outsider like Chen Xi afford such a heavy burden
At this moment, Moya suddenly said: "Master Priest, I don't agree."
The old man's snow-white brows furrowed, and he said calmly: "Moya, are you questioning my majesty?" There was a hint of displeasure in the hoarse and deep voice.
Moya froze, gritted her teeth, and knelt down: "Master Priest, Moya is not questioning you, but our Jiuyou clan has gone through mountains and seas of fire, and sacrificed countless people to gain our current peace. Now , an outsider wants to interfere in the affairs of our clan, I... find it difficult to accept it."
Thump thump thump…
The other tribesmen also knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Your Majesty, please think twice before offering sacrifices."
Among the people present, only Meng Wei and Xiao Cen did not kneel down. Xiao Cen pursed his lips and was a little at a loss. He didn't know whether to support his tribe or this new good friend he had made.
Meng Wei, on the other hand, has been staring at Chen Xi with a cold gaze, as if he was examining a prey and wanted to see through all his details.
But soon, he was defeated. Chen Xi's eyes were gentle and calm, as deep as the boundless starry sky, and he could not see anything wrong.
"I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore!" The old man said with a firm attitude, "I'm just telling you, if you want to leave this Nine Netherland with no way to heaven and no way to earth, only Chen Xi can do it. !”
What!
Everyone was shocked. Although they knew that the Lord Priest valued this outsider very much, they did not expect that he would value this outsider so highly. He simply placed all the hopes of their clan on Chen Xi!
"If that's the case, I agree!"
Meng Wei suddenly spoke, not looking at Chen Xi, but said in a deep voice, "However, I have one thing to say. If he dares to do anything detrimental to our clan, I, Meng Wei, will risk my life even if he doesn't. Kill him!"
Chen Xi was stunned, but he understood Meng Wei's thoughts very well. If it were him, he would definitely do this. After all, Meng Wei sincerely considers the safety of their clan.
This alone made Chen Xi unable to get angry. He just looked at the old man next to him with a wry smile. To be honest, if he had no other choice, he would not get involved at all. He failed to be a good person and only made people angry. This Why bother
The old man narrowed his eyes, smiled and shook his head at Chen Xi, signaling him not to mind.
"Okay, I agree!"
Seeing that the priest had a firm attitude, Moya knew that it was irreversible, so she immediately gritted her teeth and said, "But I will be like Mengwei. As long as this outsider shows any signs of cheating, I will make him regret his life for the rest of his life!"
Chen Xi was startled again, and sighed deeply in his heart, but did not say anything. After all, his life was saved by these simple and bloodless Jiuyou tribe members in front of him, so how could he lose his temper with his saviors.
Seeing that Meng Wei and Moya agreed, the others looked at each other and chose to obey the order.
"Okay, little friend Chen Xi, I'll leave everything to you. As for Moya and Meng Wei, you two come with me. I have something to tell you." After the old man said that, he turned around and walked towards the tent. .
After the priest, Moya, and Meng Wei left, Chen Xi rationally chose to return to his residence first.
Although these members of the Jiuyou tribe expressed their obedience on the surface, the strong resistance to him in their hearts could not be erased for a moment.
Communicating with them at this time is obviously asking for trouble.
However, before leaving, Chen Xi still said something, saying that early tomorrow morning, the young children and teenagers would gather together, and he would replace Meng Wei and teach them how to practice martial arts.
However, his words attracted glares and snorts from a group of teenagers. Compared with adults, what these eleven or twelve-year-old teenagers are least good at is concealing their emotions. Just like now, staring at The look he was looking at Chen Xi was like looking at a ferocious beast, full of strong hostility.
Only Xiao Cen, who was only eight or nine years old, stood up and cheered, becoming the only child present to welcome Chen Xi.
But soon, she also felt the strangeness of the surrounding atmosphere, as well as the angry eyes looking at him, which made her feel uncomfortable all over, and finally sat down.
She pouted her little lips and muttered in embarrassment: "When you know how attractive the stories Big Brother tells are, you will definitely not treat him like this!"
Chen Xi, who had just walked into the tent, had extremely sensitive ears. After hearing this, he staggered and almost fell to the ground. He couldn't laugh or cry. In the heart of that little girl, could he just be a storyteller?
