Chapter 350 How can I not compare to him

?

A melodious horn sounded, and all the boats on the Feiyu River began to slow down, and the mountain turtles behind also hurriedly slowed down.

Some of the dumber giant frogs did not slow down in time and were caught off guard by the tail of the mountain turtle in front of them, causing the mountain turtle to turn its head and glare at them. The giant frogs were frightened and quickly retreated.

On the first large ship, Jingjie pointed to a sandbar ahead and said to Shiqiu, "The Crocodile Tribe is ahead. The first time the leader came to the central region, he settled at the foot of the Crocodile Tribe. We also do business with the Crocodile Tribe frequently."

Shiqiu looked forward along the direction of Jingjie's finger, and saw a huge sandbar in front of him, blocking the river and forcing the river to split into two. One river continued to rush southward, while the other flowed southwest, and no one knew where it went.

"Crocodile Tribe!"

Shiqiu looked at the green sandbar in front of him and felt a little excited, because this was the first large tribe in central China that he had seen.

Jing Jie added, "With so many people passing through the Crocodile Tribe's territory, we must go over to say hello to them. The fleet will stay here to rest, and the trading team will be responsible for trading with the Crocodile Tribe. Chief Stone Loach and I will go in to meet the leader of the Crocodile Tribe."

Shi Qiu nodded. He was not very familiar with the situation here, and having Jing Jie lead him would save him a lot of trouble.

Soon, Jingjie prepared some gifts and got off the boat with Shiqiu.

The Crocodile Tribe and the Vine Tribe were old acquaintances. After they got off the boat, a team of warriors from the Crocodile Tribe came with big crocodiles and took them to the Crocodile Tribe's residence.

It was the first time for Shi Qiu to ride a big crocodile, but he remained very calm and was not afraid at all of this huge and extremely ferocious aquatic overlord.

The performance of the stone loach made the crocodile tribe warrior who led the way nod secretly. Although the leader of the vine tribe looked very young, he was very powerful and his courage was much better than that of ordinary people.

After Jingjie and Shiqiu left, the warriors of the Vine Tribe who were responsible for trading in the fleet methodically moved various goods out of the cabin and transported them to the trading area of ​​the Crocodile Tribe by small boats for trading.

They were already very familiar with these tasks and the procedures were very standardized, so there would be no trouble even if Jingjie and Shiqiu were not present.

…

In the Crocodile Tribe, Qingye heard a familiar horn and hurried down from the stilt house where he lived.

She searched the sky for a moment but was soon disappointed because she did not see the huge purple eagle nor heard its unique cry, which meant that the person she wanted to see did not come.

"Qingye, Qingye..."

At this moment, a young warrior from the crocodile tribe ran towards this side while shouting, like a bee seeing nectar, with an extremely excited expression on his face.

Qingye frowned slightly, then turned and walked away, ignoring the young soldier's shouting.

The young warrior didn't care at all. The totem pattern of the crocodile tribe flashed on his face, and his running speed increased instantly. In the blink of an eye, he ran in front of Qingye and blocked her.

Qingye's brows furrowed even tighter: "Get out of the way!"

“No!”

The young warrior opened his arms and looked at Qingye triumphantly.

Little did he know that his actions were regarded as childish by Qingye.

Qingye stood there, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Heijia, what on earth do you want to do?"

Hei Jia immediately reached into the animal skin bag hanging at his waist and said as he did so: "I want to give you something."

However, before he could take out anything, Qingye had already walked past him: "I don't need anything, you can give it to someone else."

Hei Jia's face suddenly froze. He felt embarrassed at first, then wronged and angry.

He turned around and glared at Qingye's back and said, "Is the leader of the Teng tribe so unforgettable to you? Ever since he showed up, you haven't even looked at me straight in the eye!"

Qingye turned around, looked at him seriously, and nodded: "Yes!"

That light word was like a stone knife, stabbing deeply into Hei Jia's heart, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Heijia became even angrier. The totem power in his body started to circulate involuntarily, and his face was quickly covered with totem patterns. The five warrior patterns of different colors were particularly eye-catching.

What is even more special is his pupils. When the power of the totem reaches its peak, his pupils gradually turn into yellow-brown vertical pupils, just like a crocodile's eyes, captivating.

Black Armor roared, "Qingye! I am the best hunter in the Crocodile Tribe, the youngest Five-Color Warrior, and the candidate for the next leader. How can I be inferior to that kid from the Vine Tribe?"

Qingye said calmly: "He would never get angry over a small matter like you, nor would he casually show off his martial arts to a woman."

After Qingye finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Heijia standing there alone. The expression on his face kept changing, which was extremely exciting.

After a while, a warrior from the Crocodile Tribe came running over in a hurry: "Hei Jia, two leaders from the Vine Tribe have arrived. The leader wants you to go over and entertain them together."

When Heijia heard the three words "Teng Tribe", he instinctively felt disgusted, but when the leader asked him to go over, he did not dare to refuse.

Black Armor waved his hands irritably and said, "Got it, I'll be there in a minute."

After the warrior left, Heijia took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down. The totem power in his body gradually stopped surging, the glowing totem pattern on his face faded, and his pupils turned back into normal circles.

On the other side, Jingjie and Shiqiu were invited into the tallest stilt house of the Crocodile Tribe. Along with them came a dozen warriors from the Vine Tribe carrying various gifts.

The leader of the crocodile tribe, Ci Mu, and the witch of the crocodile tribe had been waiting for them by the fire pit.

When Jingjie and Shiqiu came in, he immediately stood up and greeted them with a big laugh: "Hahaha, Chief Jingjie, long time no see!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Jingjie hugged Cimu generously, then pointed at Shiqiu and said, "Chief Cimu, let me introduce you. This is the leader of our Teng tribe's second hunting team, Shiqiu."

Ci Mu took a look at Shi Qiu's attire and the five warrior patterns on his face and was secretly surprised. Such a young five-color warrior was rare even in the central region and had amazing potential.

Although he was surprised, Ci Mu remained calm on the surface. He even hugged Shi Qiu enthusiastically. Then he invited the two of them to the fire pit and paid his respects to the witch of the Crocodile Tribe.

Wu's status is extremely high, and unless Jiang Xuan or Chi Shao come, he will not greet them personally.

After both parties sat down by the fire, Jingjie waved his hand and asked the warriors of the Teng tribe who followed them to carry the gifts in baskets and open the well-sealed lids.

Jingjie walked to the largest rectangular wooden basket, lifted the layer of soft hay covering it, and carefully took out a special pottery inside.

This is a pottery figurine of a crocodile, about one meter long. Whether it is the crocodile's mouth full of sharp teeth, or the sturdy and powerful claws and tail, they are all carved lifelike and even painted all over. At first glance, it looks like a real crocodile.

This crocodile pottery figurine is the latest product of the Teng Tribe’s pottery workshop and is also a gift tailor-made for the Crocodile Tribe.

The process is very complicated. First, a rough embryo needs to be kneaded, and then the best craftsmen are asked to carve it. It is then dried in the shade and fired. The firing process also has high requirements for temperature. If you are not careful, it will fail.

After the successful firing, in order to achieve the best viewing effect, the Teng tribe specially used mineral pigments to color the entire body of the crocodile pottery figurine, making it look lifelike, with even the fine lines in the eyes very clear.

This crocodile pottery figurine not only has a complicated firing process, but also has a very low success rate, making it extremely precious.

When Jing Jie brought out this lifelike colorful crocodile pottery figurine, all the members of the Crocodile Tribe present breathed quickly. Even the Crocodile Tribe Shaman stood up with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Hei Jia, who had just come in from the door, suppressed his anger in an instant. His eyes were completely attracted by the colorful crocodile pottery figurine, and he didn't even realize that his mouth was wide open.

Jing Jie was very satisfied with the performance of the Crocodile Tribe members. In fact, when this colorful crocodile pottery figurine appeared in front of him, his performance was no better than that of the Crocodile Tribe members.

If the Crocodile Tribe was not crucial to the Vine Tribe's entry into the central Southern Wilderness, he really would be reluctant to give them such a precious gift.

Jingjie said at the right time: "Chief Cimu, the witch of the Crocodile Tribe, this colorful crocodile pottery figurine is a gift specially made by our Vine Tribe for the Crocodile Tribe. It represents the friendship between our two tribes. I hope you like it."

Afterwards, Jingjie slowly handed the colorful crocodile pottery figurine to Cimu, the leader of the crocodile tribe.

When Ci Mu took the crocodile pottery figurine, his hands were shaking slightly and he even used the power of the totem, for fear of accidentally breaking this extremely precious gift.

Even the shaman of the crocodile tribe stepped forward without caring about his image, stretched out his trembling hand to approach the crocodile pottery figurine, gently touched the tail, and quickly withdrew his hand for fear of damaging it.

The other warriors of the crocodile tribe were also itching to get their hands on it. If they had not been forced by the authority of their leader and the witch, they would have probably rushed forward to observe and touch the treasure up close.
