The golden wind suddenly blew up, blowing up countless blood-colored ripples on the grass as bright as blood. This kind of wild grass is as red as blood, with only one stem and one leaf in its body. It is more than ten feet tall and densely packed, with no more than a finger apart.
, wherever the wind passes, the blades of grass undulate, just like the waves of the sea, making a huge "whooshing" sound. The grass is hundreds of miles long and wide, and there are only three or five dead trees slanting in it.
Pointing to the sky, like palms scratching the sky.
In the grassland, there is only one road about two feet wide that leads directly to the depths of the mountains in the south. However, this road is full of potholes and bumps. Occasionally, rocks and earth lumps the size of a human head can be seen emerging from the ground, which makes the cart sway wildly along the way.
Shaking around, if it weren't for the high quality of these large cars brought by Xia Jie, I'm afraid they would have fallen apart long ago.
A group of more than a thousand people were walking on this desert road in the grassland, and their ears could hear the roars of various strange beasts. Suddenly, a desolate and ancient smell came out from the bottom of their hearts. Occasionally, an extremely sad sound of an eagle came from the sky, like an eagle.
The long cry of the subordinates made people feel a chill in their hearts. Riding on the back of Hei Shou and walking at the front of the team, Chi Ming, who was wearing a standard caravan guard uniform, could not help but shrink his neck and lowered his head.
He cursed a few times at this damned place.
Riding on Mo Qilin's back, Xia Jie, who was only wearing an animal skin jacket and exposed the hideous tyrannosaurus head tattoo on his chest, was in high spirits. Seeing that the people accompanying him looked a little discouraged, they couldn't help but look up to the sky.
The laughter immediately woke up these elite soldiers from the desolate atmosphere caused by the influence of the surrounding environment. Then, Bai Ye suddenly jumped up, his body expanded to five or six feet high, and he looked up to the sky with a crazy and violent roar.
Suddenly, countless birds and beasts far and near were heard running and dancing in fear in the grass. Suddenly, the area within a hundred miles became quiet, and no more birds or beasts could be heard chirping.
Bai's roar not only frightened the birds and beasts in the wilderness, but also made the hair of Mutu and his subordinate warriors stand on end. These warriors with the warlike factor of Yalang flowing in their blood,
Hearing this battle cry from a real ferocious beast from ancient times, I felt my blood rushing to my forehead. I wanted to yell a few times and have a head-on fight with Bai. Fortunately, they also had the precision of Hairen.
With a careful mind, he barely controlled his fighting spirit and did not do anything stupid like hitting a stone with an egg.
Xingtian Dafeng was riding crookedly on the black sword, holding a light sword in his hand that he thought could not kill even a sparrow. He looked at Xia Jie's back feebly, and suddenly complained to Xingtian Xuanzhi next to him.
: "Boy, I already regret taking this job. This damn place has no beauties, no food, no good music, just mountains, water, trees, grass, and not many people. It's really boring.
It has to make me want to kill someone."
Xingtian Xuanzhi's face was extremely ugly, and he complained in a gibbering voice: "Their troops have all gone to the east to confront the Dongyi people. I heard about Xingtianzhi, and Xingtianzhi also followed him with his own people.
This time they are probably going to make great military exploits. Alas, why do we, the Black Sword Army and the Xuanbiao Army, still stay in Anyi?"
Xing Tianpan snorted coldly, rolled his strange eyes and said angrily: "I heard that someone gave advice to the family leader, saying that our second army was too weak and might be easily swallowed up by the Dongyi people, so we were asked to stay in Anyi.
, this is our turn to be the good errands who have come to live in this southern barbarian land." He punched out angrily, breaking a dead tree on the side of the road, and snorted again and again: "Xia Jie, are you right?
Yes, we can make a lot of money and go back to Anyi this time, but after leaving that grassland and walking for another three or five days, why is there still no sign of anyone?"
"Hmph, the land of the Southern Barbarians, do you still think about how densely populated this place is?"
Mutu's, I saw him peeking at brother Xia Jie's back a few days ago, with murderous intent in his eyes."
"Murderous intent?" Xingtian Aolong hurriedly came over, glared fiercely at Mutu who was far away in front, and said gloomily: "Then, why don't we kill them now. These hundred sea people seem to have a little bit left.
We have strength, it’s good to use them for entertainment. In fact, this time we are going to hunt down Cain who destroyed our palace, how can we use these sea people?"
Xingtian Xuanzhi slapped Xingtian Aolong on the head with a fierce palm, and shouted angrily with dissatisfaction: "Use your brain! Think about it first, why is this Mu Tu murderous against Brother Xia Jie? Could it be that Ando?
Did you order it? Then why did he want to kill brother Xia Jie? If they really wanted to kill us, we brothers should be their targets?"
The brothers of the Xingtian family pondered for a long time, and then Xingtian Dafeng nodded and said in a low voice: "That's all, please pay more attention. I can easily kill these one hundred sea people by myself, but there is no need to worry.
What did they do? Brother Xia Jie said that he received the inheritance of Yinwu Taiyi, and his strength has increased dramatically, but it is not something that these weak sea people can hurt."
The Xingtian brothers here have just finished planning, but something has already happened ahead.
Holding a light bow and a long arrow, Akatsuki was pointing at the grass on the roadside when he suddenly heard a rough roar, and then a heavy horn ax suddenly came out of the grass on the roadside with a cold light.
It flew out, spanning a distance of more than a hundred feet, and struck hard on the ground five or six feet in front of Red Star. The handle of this horn ax was about ten feet long, as thick as a hand, and the axe was two feet wide.
It is two inches thick, and the other side is shrunk into the shape of a bull's horn, with a huge beast's head carved on it, so hideous and terrifying.
Chi Ming was startled, and he almost shot an arrow in the direction of the ax flying in the grass on the roadside. He was frightened for a while, if such a huge ax, such a huge power, would hit his bare body.
On Ming's body, even Chi Ming wouldn't be able to withstand such strength. He is different from Xia Jie. He is not an earthly witch, and he does not have such a tyrannical character.
Seeing that Chi Ming was about to shoot the arrow as soon as he loosened his fingers, Xia Jie suddenly jumped off the Qilin, came to Chi Ming's side, held his bow and arrow with one hand, and slowly shook his head. Such interrogation methods,
Xia Jie and his tribe often did this back then. It was a rule in the wild land of the south. Red Star couldn't let Chi Ming shoot an arrow carelessly, sparking a fight between the two sides.
At that moment, Xia Jie deliberately opened his clothes, revealing the tattoo pattern on his chest, strode to the horn ax stuck on the ground, slapped the ax handle with his palm, and shouted loudly: "What a good one."
The ax probably weighs more than a thousand kilograms. Which tribe's brothers are kidding me, the Chihu Tyrannosaurus? I am a member of the Chihu Tribe, and I brought my master to the Southern Wilderness to exchange goods. What do you guys have?
All the good stuff, just take it out and look at it."
He looked up to the sky and shouted, "Don't worry, I'm not an enemy."
The sound of "swish" came from the grass, and more than thirty disheveled men, who only covered their lower bodies with animal skin pants, walked out of the grass with various weapons. The man who took the lead was only shorter than Xia Jie.
With one punch, his skin was dark and covered with tattoos of insects, fish, birds and beasts, making him look extremely ferocious and terrifying. He opened his arms and walked towards Xia Jie with a 'haha' laugh: "It turns out he is a brother of the Chihu tribe.
, which Chihu movie are you from? Oh, yes, the tattoo on your body is the rule of your Chihu tribe. What good goods have you brought?"
Xia Jie and the big man hugged each other heavily. They both used their arms at the same time to weigh each other's strength. The four iron arms touched slightly, and Xia Jie couldn't help but feel a little shocked. This man's strength was actually not as strong as Xingtian Gale. It was clear that
There is also a group of witchcraft and martial arts strength. I am afraid that he must be the leader of a very large tribe nearby, otherwise he would not have such power. At that moment, he did not dare to neglect, and he opened his arms and saluted: "Ha, there is.
Sea salt, and real old wine, not the dirty stuff used by small caravans on the grassland to fool us tribal people. There are also some iron tools and various weapons, as well as strong bows and crossbows. Look, brother.
What do you want to exchange for?"
Sea salt is something that all tribes in the Southern Wilderness need; iron tools and swords are indispensable items in daily life. But what makes this big man's heart move the most is the words "old wine". At this moment, the big man clicked.
He opened his mouth and exclaimed: "Is there good wine? Tsk tsk, go and talk in our village. If it is really good wine, it will be worth any amount of money." He looked at Xia Jie in surprise again, nodded and said: "I
It's Heiyan from the mountain bear clan. This time he brought his brothers to see if they can hunt some fat animals. Hey, brother, you are so strong."
Xia Jie smiled and said nothing, and just flexed his arms, letting the muscles on his exposed arms continuously undulate and flow, showing an infinite sense of strength. This is nonsense. Today, Xia Jie can no longer use it.
The strength of his strength is used to describe him. How could Heiyan understand the strength that Xia Jie possesses now?
The tribesmen from Heiyan had already moved closer to Xia Jie and his team's motorcade. They stretched out their noses and sniffed the strong aroma of wine that still spread through the sealing mud and wine jars. Several sturdy men could no longer hold back.
He shouted: "Heiyan, this is really good wine. It is much better than the previous wines. I need to change a little more this time. Drink it to your heart's content."
As soon as he heard that it was really good wine, Heiyan's face suddenly showed a strange look of pain and happiness coexisting. Happy people, good wine is the favorite thing of southern men; painful people, how many animal skins would it take to exchange for such good wine?
A jar? Even for those ordinary low-quality spirits, it takes nearly a hundred rare leathers to buy a jar, let alone such a good wine? Heiyan licked his mouth desperately and forcibly held back his saliva.
, there he calculated: "Brother Chihu is from the caravan, let's discuss it, maybe we can give us a good price?"
Heiyan, who was worried about gains and losses, invited Xia Jie to go to their village to rest first. He whistled and summoned a dozen saber-toothed tigers they had tamed to clear the way. He led Xia Jie and his group towards the village. These men from the Mountain Bear Tribe suddenly saw
Xia Jie's mount turned out to be a gigantic Mo Qilin. His eyes lit up involuntarily, and at the same time there was a look of horror on his face. They were so impressed with Xia Jie that they were all in admiration. Some even looked at Xia Jie and the others with extremely envious eyes as they used to pull the vehicle.
Hei Shi just shook his head repeatedly. For such a good mount to be used to pull a cart, the strength of this caravan is too strong.
The mountain bear tribe's village is located in the center of this blood-red grassland. It is five miles long and wide and has more than 20,000 tribesmen living here. The houses in this village are made of grass bricks made of soil mixed with dried grass blades.
The two-foot-thick straw bricks are thick and strong, which can effectively resist the invasion of wild beasts. The houses are scattered in the open space surrounded by three-story wooden fences inside and outside, giving people the feeling of being surrounded by fire. There is only one
The avenue ran through the middle of the village, and hundreds of children and livestock were playing on the avenue.
Seeing the caravan entering the village under the leadership of Heiyan and the others, the mountain bear tribesmen who were busy in front and behind the houses in the village immediately gathered around them. Some people started to ask loudly what items the caravan carried that could be exchanged. Xia Jie
He deliberately yelled a few words in a dialect with a southern accent, saying that there was a lot of salt, good wine, iron tools, cloth and other things. Immediately, the quick-thinking Mountain Bear tribe rushed to his house to get it.
Items that you can exchange for yourself.
Heiyan waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, what does it look like? There is no reason for the brothers of the Chihu tribe to see the joke, haven't you seen the caravan? Get out of the way, get out of the way, I will take them there
The elder's house. Hey, brother Chihu, I'm afraid our village doesn't have enough houses, so you have to set up your own tent to rest." Heiyan laughed a few times, shook his head and said, "Our place is different from the villages in the north.
There are few caravans coming, and there are no houses prepared for the caravan members."
Xia Jie nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay, Chi Ming, you take the brothers to set up the tent and take a look at the goods. I'll discuss an exchange price with their elders. Brother, Qi Xin, come with me and take a look.
?Well, Mutu, you go and rest in the tent, we will take care of these things..."
Mutu nodded when he heard the words, tightened the hood around his head, and did not dare to say a word. How could they, with their blond hair and blue eyes, dare to show their true colors in these villages? What if they were accidentally seen?
The faces are very different from those of the Daxia or the Southern Barbarians. I am afraid that in just two or three days, there will be news everywhere in the southern mountains that people with strange descriptions have entered the mountains. Are there any Cain and others who have escaped without hearing the news?
However, Qi Xin snorted a little dissatisfied, and wrapped a layer of gauze under her hood to cover her face below her eyes. The smell in this village was really unpleasant, there were livestock and poultry excrement everywhere, and
There are several stinking puddles on the roadside, with a layer of greasy dead green moss growing on them. They look extremely disgusting, and there is an indescribable stench emitting from them. This kind of place is like hell to Qi Xin.
Normally, how could she stand this kind of smell?
She didn't even dare to walk on the ground. She could only pat Xia Jie on the shoulder and let him drive Mo Qilin away. She waddled all the way to the door of the largest earthen house in the middle of the village. Then she took Xia Jie's arm and let Xia Jie
After holding her in his arms and climbing up the seemingly spotless steps, he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Xingtian Dafeng nonchalantly tied his mount to a big rock at the door, kicked away a domestic pig that tried to push his boots with its muddy nose, and shouted: "Hey, you can always sit down.
Take a rest. Brother Heiyan, clean up some wild beasts and roast them, just in time to have a bite of fresh game. You have many wild beasts and birds here, but we can’t see them in Daxia. Well, we’ll trade you a jar of wine.
,How about it?"
Hei Yan was overjoyed and shouted at his tribesmen without saying a word, asking them to select the beasts, wash them, skin them and bring them here. He shouted several times toward the earthen house: "Elder, Mr. Wu
, a caravan is here, waiting to discuss with you how to exchange these goods." Without waiting for the people inside to reply, Heiyan kicked open the door of the earthen house, stretched out his hand and signaled: "Chihu
Brothers, come in, hey, why don’t you bring the jug of wine now and we can eat the animal meat?”
Xia Jie laughed, quickly rolled his eyes at Xingtian Dafeng, and said loudly: "Chi Ming, ask someone to bring a jar of fifty-year-old good wine. Hey, this is really good wine, not as good as those ordinary spirits.
Yes." Xia Jie thought to himself, Xingtian Dafeng is really a prodigal. The price of these beasts is only one or two sea salt at most, but he actually gave away a jar of old wine. If items are exchanged at this speed, let's go
At less than half the journey, they had to go back home. Where could so many items be exchanged?
Upon hearing that it was fifty-year-old wine, the eyes of Heiyan and the few strong men who came behind turned green. They invited Xia Jie and the others to enter this two-story earthen house that was nearly ten feet long and wide.
Next to the fire pit in the middle, a skinny old man who was slowly burning a poisonous snake with charcoal fire and chewing it alive also had a red light on his face and shouted loudly: "It turns out that a distinguished guest is here. Please hurry up and invite the beast."
The leather mats are all spread out. Come here, let's light a fire and warm up the wine before we eat it. The weather is getting cold, so we don't like cold wine."
Xia Jie remained expressionless, but Xingtian Dafeng and the others almost laughed, but the old man was interesting, and he was more particular about drinking than Xingtian Dafeng and the others. Then a few people sat down on the newly spread animal skins beside the fire pit,
Xin felt that the animal skin was dirty, so he frowned and pulled Xia Jie's clothes, and sat close to Xia Jie on his clothes.
The old man who was eating venomous snakes saw that Xing Tian Dafeng and the others looked a little ugly. He quickly wiped his hands and threw the big snake with thick arms and colorful body into the corner of the room. He laughed dryly and said: "The weather is getting cold, these bugs are exactly what they want."
When they are fat, eating some of their flesh and blood will only be good for us witches. Elder, what do you think?"
The strong old man next to him who was chewing a piece of snake meat desperately and had a hard time swallowing the snake meat nodded quickly, wiped his mouth with his sleeve and laughed: "Hahaha, the shaman eats the snake head and internal organs, and I eat the snake."
Meat, this autumn, the bugs are all over the place. Ah, may I ask where the guest is from? What do you want to exchange?" His eyes quickly glanced at the tattoo on Xia Jie's chest, and then he poured it down fiercely.
I took a breath of air. Anyone who could kill a tyrannosaurus at the coming-of-age ceremony must be a top-notch hero of the same tribe. Why would he go to serve as a guard for a caravan?
Xia Jie saluted the elder and the shaman in accordance with the etiquette of his tribe and said loudly: "Ah, our boss's business is very big. Among the nine states of Daxia, there are actually four or five states with his trading firm in the towns. This
This time we brought a lot of salt, wine, ironware and cloth. These are our young bosses, and we are going to exchange all the way to the southernmost place to see if we can receive any rare goods." He pointed to Xingtian Dafeng.
They laughed and said: "This is the first time for us young bosses to go on a long trip, so the prices we give you will be better. In short, our goods are good and the prices are fair. It depends on the elders and the witch masters, whether you have any good ones."
The goods came to be exchanged with us."
After a pause, Xia Jie smiled and said: "Good leather, good jade, good ores, plus rare herbs and the like, as long as we have them, we will exchange them based on their quality. If there are no good things, we will exchange them."
The price is a little less. Here at the Mountain Bear Department, we are going to exchange with you twenty jars of real good wine. One jar is two hundred catties. At this price, how about three skins per catty? Of course, this price is a bit expensive.
But our goods are of good quality, and they are not the kind of groceries mixed with soju and water."
Three animal skins per pound, and one jar equals 600 skins. If the best animal skins are taken to Anyi, one skin can be exchanged for at least thirty copper bears. And how much does a jar of old wine cost?
?It’s just the price of twenty to thirty copper bear coins. This is a profit of six hundred times! Xingtian Dafeng and the others fell into a state of dementia in an instant. There were only piles of money flying in front of them! They were
He was born into a wealthy family, but he had a very strict upbringing throughout his life. Where had he seen any large sums of money or goods?
The elder and the shaman looked embarrassed, but they heard Xia Jie continue to say: "Our sea salt is not the low-quality stuff mixed with sand and soil, it is all carefully selected and fine salt like snowflakes. This kind of stuff
, when the elder and the wizard meet, they will know that what I said is true. Well, one tael of salt for five pieces of leather, this is a very fair price, right? Of course, old leather needs to be beaten
It’s a discount. Our salt is of good quality, and other caravans won’t spend such a large sum of money.”
Xingtian Dafeng and the others were stunned again. One tael of salt and five animal skins? They finally understood what a profiteer is! Isn't this guy Xia Jie a barbarian? Why did he kill his own people with a knife and kill them so happily?
Xingtian Dafeng even yelled in his heart: "If I had known that doing business here was so profitable, why would I have brought my own soldiers to hunt Tyrannosaurus? Bringing a few hundred kilograms of sea salt here would be enough for me to go to Xifang and live happily.
It’s been a year! God, no wonder those people from the trading houses are willing to go south even if they risk their lives!”
Xia Jie's next quotation made Xing Tian Dafeng and the others have the illusion that they were hit on the forehead by a mountain of gold: an iron sword that sold for less than a hundred copper bears in Anyi City, Xia Jie dared to ask for a thousand pieces of skin.
Price? For an iron pot, Xia Jie dared to ask for two hundred skins in exchange? As for the cloths, did you hear that right? For a piece of slightly finer cloth, Xia Jie would have to exchange for half a tyrannosaurus skin?
What made Xingtian Dafeng and the others almost drop their chins to the floor was the blushing faces of the elder and the witch master: "This price is very reasonable, much better than the price the caravan gave us before. It's just that
, Brother Chihu, the animal skins in autumn are fatter and richer, see if you can lower the price a little bit? It’s rare for a caravan to come in here."
Putting on an extremely embarrassed look, Xia Jie stared at Xingtian Dafeng and the others for a long time, and then nodded as if he had received some hint: "It's okay to say it this way, considering that my Tiger Tyrannosaurus is also of Southern Barbarian blood.
In terms of relationship, well, we will give your Shanxiong Tribe an extra hundred catties of salt and three jars of wine. This is a special exception, but we can’t do it again.” After a pause, Xia Jie said with a smile: “It’s just that we still want it.
We are going deep into the mountains, so we ask the elders to send us some guides. How about we equip each guide with a good weapon?"
Heiyan shouted fiercely: "I'll go, I have weapons, my ax is very good, I just want a really good bow and arrow. Well, I also want a bag of steel arrows!"
Xia Jie pointed at Heiyan and laughed: "Elder, Brother Heiyan has already taken the initiative to go. Please select a few good guys who are familiar with the mountains for me."
Several strong men around Heiyan immediately jumped up and shouted: "That's us, who else could there be? We are the strongest warriors of the Mountain Bear Tribe, so naturally it's us."
The elder and the sorcerer also nodded with smiles on their faces: "That's it, that's it. Heiyan, you can take a few of your brothers to accompany the Chihu brothers. Well, be careful on the road. It's autumn.
The livestock in the mountains are looking for food to survive the winter, so don’t let them get hurt.”
Qixin snorted coldly: "Can those wild beasts hurt people?"
The elder and Duke Wu frowned at the same time, while Heiyan glared at Qi Xin with an unhappy look on his face and shouted: "Brother Chihu, this is your fault, how dare your mother-in-law speak to us men while they are talking?"
What about interrupting? This requires a few good beatings to teach you a lesson. How can a woman interrupt when a man is talking? Have you followed those people in Daxia and become soft-hearted, and are reluctant to beat your own women? "
All the men from the Mountain Bear Tribe laughed crazily, Qi Xin was so angry that she was shaking all over, while Xia Jie, Xing Tian Dafeng and the others were covered in cold sweat.
Fortunately, at this time, a dozen men came in carrying several cleaned wild animals. Bai, who was squatting next to Xia Jie, immediately roared, rushed forward and bit off a fat beast's thigh in one bite, gnawing slowly
Start eating. Taking advantage of the attention of the people from the Mountain Bear Tribe on Bai, Xia Jie quickly grabbed Qixin's fist with one hand and slapped it lightly a few times, fearing that Qixin would be angry and get angry.
Destroyed the entire mountain bear tribe.
It's strange to say that the furious Qi Xin was about to blast these barbarians from the Mountain Bear Tribe to the point where they wouldn't even have a piece of meat left, but Xia Jie slapped her twice so lightly that all her anger disappeared.
Where. In the end, Qi Xin just stared at Xia Jie several times with her light blue eyes, then closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing there.
At this time, Chi Ming also brought a large clay urn in, and slapped open the mud seal with one palm, revealing the light yellow viscous liquid inside. A strong aroma of wine wafted out, and the witch master and the elder changed their expressions at the same time.
, jumped up and shouted: "Really good wine, ha, it is indeed a hundred times better than those caravans before, come on, come on, warm it up quickly, this is really good wine."
'With a sound, Heiyan next to him almost drooled.
Another soldier of Red Star came in holding a large handful of sea salt. The fine salt foam was white and dazzling. It did not contain any impurities, but it was truly top-grade good salt. This made Shan Xiong think again.
The people in the tribe stared straight at it. A big man quickly and carefully took the handful of salt, preparing to use it to grill the peeled wild animals. Heiyan had already opened his mouth and laughed, praising Xia Jie again and again.
I'm not lying, the Mountain Bear Tribe really made a lot of money from this deal.
After a while, the place was already filled with the aroma of wine and meat. Xia Jie, Xing Tian Dafeng and the others could still sit still, but Hei Yan and the others all had their stomachs growling, wiped their noses and mouths, and stared blankly with their mouths wide open.
The grilled meat, which has gradually browned, has a green glow in its eyes. It's just meat, but this fine old wine is something that Black Rock and the others have never heard of in their lives, and there are wisps of real wine aroma.
They dug and scratched inside their noses, almost making their hearts, livers and lungs itchy.
Xia Jie slowly picked up a delicate porcelain bowl, slowly poured a cup of wine into the bowl and gave it to the old man Wu, then poured a cup of wine to the elder, and filled it up for Heiyan and the others.
Old Jiu then asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Elder, Elder Wu, don't you know if there is anything interesting going on in the south recently? This time we are going deep into the mountains, just to give our young bosses some insights.
.”
Elder, the old man Wu couldn’t wait to pour a full kilogram of good wine into his stomach, and he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Ah, if those caravans don’t bring good wine over in the future, our Mountain Bear Department will not
Let them enter the mountain. We are the tribe guarding the mountain pass for the king. Hey, if we don't let them in, they can only stare."
After sighing for a while, the old man Wu said with a smile on his face: "When it comes to rare things, there was only one recently. It was said that a tribe not far from our Southern Barbarian King suddenly lost more than 5,000 people in the entire tribe.
The king is wondering, is it because the tax on their hides and grains is too heavy, so they all ran away?"
The elder shook his head repeatedly: "Where is the weight? Their tribe of 5,000 people, the king only requires them to pay 8,000 skins a year. Which of our heroes in the south does not kill dozens of beasts a year? Five
How can a tribe of a thousand people still not be able to hand over 8,000 pieces of skin? Especially if their people ran away, but they didn’t take away their belongings or livestock, what’s the matter?”
The sorcerer glared at him with dissatisfaction, nodded repeatedly and said: "Didn't I say this yet? Five thousand people disappeared at the same time, but not a single piece of skin was taken away, and all the livestock, money and belongings were placed in the house.
It's the strangest thing. The king has sent the eighteen strongest beast wizards to find out the news. Well, it doesn't seem like they were invaded by foreign enemies and killed them?"
The elder tilted his head and filled himself a glass of wine: "Foreign enemies? What kind of foreign enemies can come near the king's tribe like this? When our Mountain Bear Department, Mountain Tiger Department, and Mountain Leopard Department guard the entrance to the mountain,
Is the tribe fun? There is no trouble at all. Come, come, drink, drink."
The life of the mountain tribe is monotonous and boring. Xia Jie asked them if they had any strange news. The elders and shamans of the mountain bear tribe immediately told the only strange thing that happened recently. The speaker
Unintentionally, the sudden disappearance of a tribe of thousands of people is just a bit strange and not worth making a fuss about. But if the listener is interested, Xia Jie and the others will understand that maybe they have found some clues.
At the moment, Xia Jie remained calm and just ate meat and drank wine with the people of the Mountain Bear Tribe, bringing out his barbarian nature to the fullest, making Heiyan and the others immediately recognize him as a good brother.
In the end, the banquet broke up because Bai secretly drank too much wine and suddenly became wild. He killed more than a hundred of the Mountain Bear tribe's livestock in a wild grab. Such changes brought the banquet to a hasty end, but left the Mountain Bear tribe in a state of panic.
The people laughed so hard that they couldn't open their eyes: the 'honest and kind' Xia Jie and the others paid three times the price to compensate them for their losses. The carcasses of the livestock were also given to the people of the Mountain Bear Department for teeth beating. For a time,
The reputation of Xia Jie and others immediately rose.
