"Eer..."

Jiang Xuan rode the Purple Eagle Tangyuan along the Feiyu River. After passing the Otter Tribe, the Crab Tribe, and a large section of uninhabited areas, he finally entered the central area of ​​the Southern Wilderness.

“Clatter…”

Below, the Feiyu River split into two streams. The mainstream continued to rush towards the central part of the Southern Wilderness, while the tributary flowed southwest towards the vast Black Water Marsh.

Between the two rivers, there is a wide alluvial plain with lush vegetation. Looking down from the sky, you can see many houses and ant-like people.

If you look closely, you can see countless large crocodiles moving around in the water and grass by the river. Their cold light yellow vertical pupils and sharp fangs are intimidating.

"We've arrived at the Crocodile Tribe."

When Jiang Xuan flew to the vicinity of the Crocodile Tribe, he hesitated for a moment and finally decided to stay here. First, he wanted to see an old friend, and second, the Vine Tribe's fleet would come here more and more frequently in the future, so he had to establish good relations with the Crocodile Tribe.

Jiang Xuan patted the feathers on Tang Yuan's neck and said, "Land by the river."

He did not let Tangyuan fly directly into the crocodile tribe, because no tribe would welcome such a huge and ferocious bird to fly directly in.

"Eer..."

Tangyuan flew to the river bank outside the crocodile tribe and landed in a reed field. Its huge body crushed a patch of dense reeds.

“Clatter…”

Several large crocodiles resting by the river were frightened and swam hurriedly from the river bank to the deep water.

Jiang Xuan took two warriors off Tang Yuan's back, took some of the luggage, and then said to Tang Yuan: "Go find food nearby by yourself. Don't run too far, and don't hunt crocodiles or hurt people."

Tangyuan nodded, then staggered to the open river beach, and soon flew up again to find food on its own.

Jiang Xuan and the two soldiers also walked to the river bank, chose a conspicuous large rock, sat on it, and waited patiently.

Not long after, more than a dozen crocodile tribe warriors holding bone spears came riding on crocodiles and stepping on the waves. They were the guards of the crocodile tribe.

When they walked to the riverbank, one of the boys, who was about sixteen years old, shouted in surprise: "Chief Xuan, it's really you. I thought I was seeing things."

Jiang Xuan looked at the young man. He had a very good memory and immediately remembered who this person was.

This young man was Shiya. When he first came to the Crocodile Tribe, he happened to see Shiya accidentally having his trachea stuck by a foreign object. He was rescued by Shiya using the Heimlich maneuver, and because of this, he gained the favor of the Crocodile Tribe and also met Shiya's sister Qingye.

Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "Shiya, I haven't seen you for two years. You have grown a lot taller."

Shiya puffed out his chest proudly: "That's right, I'm now a soldier in the guard team, and when my strength improves, I can even join the hunting team!"

"Not bad, not bad, keep up the good work..."

While Jiang Xuan and Shi Ya were communicating, the other warriors were also looking at Jiang Xuan.

When they saw the seven warrior lines on Jiang Xuan's face, everyone was secretly surprised, because in the entire crocodile tribe, only the leader Ci Mu was a seven-color warrior, and Jiang Xuan looked too young.

The tribesmen admired the strong, and when they found out that Jiang Xuan was a seven-color warrior, they became more awed.

One of the three-color warriors said, "If Chief Xuan wants to go into the Crocodile Tribe, he can ride in with us on the crocodile."

Shi Ya also said: "Yes, yes, Chief Xuan, come in with us. If my sister knew you were here, she would be very happy."

Jiang Xuan did not refuse: "Okay, then I'll trouble you."

"please!"

Jiang Xuan followed the three-color warrior and stood on the back of the largest crocodile. The two warriors he brought with Shi Ya and others.

“Clatter…”

After the big crocodile went into the water, it gathered its limbs together and twisted its body like a snake. Its wide tail kept swinging and it swam very fast.

Soon they crossed the river, climbed onto the alluvial plain, and arrived at the territory of the Crocodile Tribe.

When Jiang Xuan saw the trading area outside the Crocodile Tribe again, he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity and joy in his heart.

The two Vine Tribe warriors he brought with him also looked around curiously, because it was their first time to come to the central part and also their first time to enter the territory of a large tribe, so everything seemed new to them.

However, after seeing so much, the two warriors felt that the trading area of ​​the central large tribe was just so-so, far worse than the trading area of ​​the Teng tribe, and the goods were far less complete than those in the trading area of ​​the Teng tribe.

Since Jiang Xuan had dealt with the Crocodile Tribe before and had left a very good impression on them, after Shi Ya made a brief report, Jiang Xuan was taken directly into the Crocodile Tribe's residential area to meet the leader, and the two Vine Tribe warriors were also entertained.

When the leader of the crocodile tribe saw Jiang Xuan, he was also shocked by the strength of his seven-color warriors.

You know, Jiang Xuan is only about twenty years old! Twenty-year-old seven-color warriors are extremely rare, not to mention the Crocodile Tribe, even if you look at the entire central Southern Wilderness, let alone other remote places.

Just when Ci Mu was distracted, Jiang Xuan opened the animal skin bag he was carrying and took out a pair of beautiful painted pottery bottles from it.

"Chief Ci Mu, I came here in a hurry this time and didn't prepare much. This pair of painted pottery bottles was made by our Teng tribe. I will give them to Chief Ci Mu and Wu as a gift."

When Ci Mu received one of the painted pottery bottles, he was almost stunned by it, because this pottery was so beautiful! After continuous iterations, the pottery of the Teng tribe not only became more exquisite in shape, but also painted with various plants, insects, fish, fierce birds and beasts, and some beautiful patterns, and there was also the iconic Teng tribe totem pattern at the bottom.

After seeing the painted pottery of the Teng tribe, the crude pottery made by other tribes looked like garbage.

"This... is this made by your Teng tribe?"

Ci Mu held the painted pottery bottle and looked at it again and again. He really couldn't let it go, but at the same time he found it unbelievable.

Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "We made it ourselves. Could it be that Chief Cimu has seen this kind of painted pottery bottle somewhere else?"

Ci Mu shook his head and said, "I have seen some pottery with patterns, but none with such bright colors and beautiful patterns as your Teng tribe."

Jiang Xuan's mind moved, and he said, "If the Crocodile Tribe needs it, we can make pottery with large crocodile patterns, such as pottery basins, pottery bottles, and pottery tripods."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"What? You can make pottery with crocodile patterns?"

"Of course, as long as you need it, we can draw the patterns of pottery according to your requirements."

After hearing these words, Ci Mu's breathing became heavy because he was really moved.

Crocodiles are not only the patron saint of the crocodile tribe, but also their fighting partners, helpers in life, and even people they can confide in when they are troubled.

The members of the Crocodile Tribe have a heartfelt love for crocodiles.

They would pay a lot for some pottery with crocodile patterns on it.

At that moment, Ci Mu enthusiastically discussed the crocodile pattern and pottery style with Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan emphasized the large pottery tripod used for sacrifices and the three-legged round tripod which was very practical and could be used for cooking.

The two parties agreed that before winter, the Vine Tribe would bring the pottery customized by the Crocodile Tribe and other goods to the Crocodile Tribe for trading.

After the conversation, Ci Mu became even more enthusiastic towards Jiang Xuan and took out a lot of delicious food to treat Jiang Xuan, including the specialty of the crocodile tribe - fish scale fruit.

Fish scale fruit is an aquatic plant that looks similar to water hyacinth but is much larger than water hyacinth. When they mature, a fruit with fish scale-like skin will grow in the middle. This fruit is rich in starch and can satisfy hunger.

The last time he came to the Crocodile Tribe, Jiang Xuan brought some fish scale fruits back to plant. But perhaps because of the water and soil incompatibility or the climate differences, the fish scale fruits grown in the Vine Tribe were relatively small and the taste was not very good.

Jiang Xuan took a bite of a fish scale fruit, feeling the sweet taste and crisp texture on the tip of his tongue, and couldn't help but sigh: "The fish scale fruit grown by your crocodile tribe is still delicious."

"Haha, if it tastes good, eat more. We in the Crocodile Tribe have plenty of fish scale fruits!"

When Ci Mu heard Jiang Xuan's praise, his face was full of smiles and he entertained him even more enthusiastically.

"The hunting party is back!"

Just then, a shout came from outside, followed by the footsteps and cheers of the people from the Crocodile Tribe.

Jiang Xuan's heart moved, and he said, "Chief Cimu, since the hunting team is back, let's go out and see what we got."

"Okay, let's go check it out."

Ci Mu stood up and walked outside with Jiang Xuan.

When they followed the crowd to the place where the hunting team's crocodiles came ashore, Jiang Xuan saw a familiar figure carrying prey from afar. That person was Qingye.

The tribesmen had very sharp sixth senses. Qingye, who was carrying the prey forward, soon felt that someone was watching her.

Qingye followed her feeling and looked over there. When she saw Jiang Xuan, she froze in place.

"Xuan... Leader Xuan..."

Qingye trembled all over and couldn't believe his eyes.

Thanks to book friends "Yue, Jiuyuan" for the reward.
