The dozen or so men who were rushing in the front with spears quickly threw the spears in their hands. With a few "ah" sounds, An, Xiong and others in front immediately fell to the ground.

The refugees who were a little slower in movement saw An, who was in the front, fall to the ground and was being attacked by small stones from behind. They were immediately panicked.

These people were not honest people to begin with. They could live in the exile tribe under An's leadership only because they could not survive alone in the mountains and forests and needed to stick together for warmth. At the same time, An was more ferocious than anyone else and all those who disobeyed him were killed by him.

Seeing that the situation was not good, everyone had no intention of uniting to avenge An, Xiong and others, but only wanted to survive.

Although the stones behind them were densely packed, they were all small stones, not much bigger than a finger, and their lethality was not great. Everyone used their arms to block the attack of the stones and turned to run out of the tribe.

When they ran outside, they were far away from the Dragon Tribe and felt that there were no pursuers behind them, so they stopped to count the number of people. They found that there were 33 people when they came, but now there were only 12 people left, and they were all slow-moving people with low fighting power and not that fierce.

The people of the exile tribe were all cunning and unruly. Although they lived in the same tribe, they often engaged in open and covert fighting. Those who survived were all formidable individuals.

Although An was their leader, it was only because he had the highest martial power. Anyone who disobeyed him was killed by him, and the others pretended to be obedient in order to survive.

He was even more vicious. Few people present had their food snatched away by him.

Therefore, everyone was not too sad about their death. It was just that with so many people lost, it became increasingly difficult for them to survive in the mountains, and everyone's mood was a little low.

Lame was an extremely shrewd man. Even though he was lame in one leg, he was still very agile. However, in order to avoid taking risks by rushing ahead, he always pretended to be lame and incapable, so that he would fall behind and thus save his life.

Although the supplies he received were not as good as those at the front, his principle was to survive. If he survived, he would live longer.

Lame glanced at everyone and asked, "Did you see clearly what knocked Xiong and the others down?"

You see, Xiong was the foremost warrior of the God Tribe. He possessed the greatest strength, and in the past, he'd killed numerous people with his fists at the slightest disagreement. Because of his superior strength, he'd not only kill ordinary members of the tribe, but he'd also killed the leader, A'di's child. The leader ordered his execution, but he escaped and struck up a partnership with An, a fellow escapee from the Sun Tribe. They gathered the exiles together and founded the Exile Tribe.

An's fighting power is no less than Xiong's.

It was really strange that these two people were knocked to the ground by the tribe with something unknown and could never get up again.

Everyone shook their heads.

The situation was quite chaotic. An and the others rushed forward, and just as they were about to rush forward, they felt something hit them from behind. It wasn't just one person hitting them, but many, densely packed together. At that moment, they felt their hair stand on end, and they had no idea what was happening to An and the others. It was too late to turn around and run, so how could they even bother to see what had knocked them down?

Besides, it was pitch dark and they were some distance away, and An and the others were facing away from them, so even if they paid attention, they couldn't see clearly.

A man named Heitu said, "I was close at the time and saw them throw something like a wooden stick at An and the others. They screamed and fell to the ground."

"A wooden stick? How is that possible?"

No one believes it.

"Forget it, let's not worry about it. Let's discuss what to do." said the others.

Speaking of this, everyone fell silent.

They had been able to survive in the mountains and forests thanks to An and Xiong. These two were strong and skilled hunters. Although they would beat and scold them at the slightest provocation, and even kill someone if they disagreed, as long as they gave in and coaxed them, they could at least rely on them to survive.

Now there were only twelve of them left, and it was not easy to survive. Moreover, the reason they came to rob the tribe was because their tribe was short of food, let alone salt.

What lies before them is a dead end.

Lame was once a member of the God Tribe. He committed adultery with the elder's daughter-in-law, had his legs broken, and was expelled from the tribe. His wife married and took their children with her after he was expelled, but A-di and his son always remembered him. He would secretly visit them from time to time, and he knew the news of the God Tribe.

His eyes flickered and he secretly made up his mind.

But he didn't intend to tell his companions about these ideas.

Although they were all in the same trench, they fought openly and secretly and no one trusted each other. When things got bad, betrayal and backstabbing were common, and there was no real friendship between them.

"Let's go back first," he said. "So many people died. The dried meat An and the others left behind is enough for us to get through the snow season. At least, we don't have to worry about this snow season."

Everyone was immediately happy when they thought about it.

Originally, if An and Xiong hadn't died, when the tribe was seriously short of food, their food would have been taken away, and they would have been the ones to starve to death. Now that An and Xiong were the ones to die, they were still able to survive by eating the food left by An and the others, which was not a bad thing.

Everyone returned to the exile tribe happily.

The next day, Lame quietly left the Liuren tribe and returned to the vicinity of the Shen tribe. He carved a strange symbol on a tree with a bone knife, and then went to a hidden cave near the Shen tribe.

A few days later, a man and a young boy entered the cave. The three of them talked in the cave for a long time before the man and the young boy left the cave and returned to the tribe of gods.

Bo Ze stayed in that cave the whole time.

The next day, his lame brother brought him news: "Brother, I've already told Elder Zhi what you said. He said that if the situation is true, the tribe's salt shortage can be solved, and Elder Zhi can gain a great merit in front of the chief, he will ask the chief to allow you to return to the tribe."

The father-in-law of the woman who committed adultery with Lame was at odds with Elder Zhi. If the leader spoke, and Elder Zhi single-handedly defended Lame, the other elder wouldn't dare say anything.

Lame was very happy to hear this: "That's great." He then asked, "Did you say when to start?"

"The chief said he needs to discuss it with the elders. I'll come back and tell you when the time is set. You'll stay here for the time being."

Lame nodded: "Okay."

He lived in a cave in the exile tribe anyway, so living here was no different from living in the exile tribe. He could build a fire in the cave and have plenty of dried meat to eat, so he could wait until spring without any problem.
