Jingjie smiled and walked forward to pat the stone loach on the back, praising him: "Good shot."

Several warriors from the Teng tribe also showed smiles of admiration and praise on their faces, and at the same time, they felt a sense of pride. They stood up straighter in this strange tribe.

Different from the shock of the Crocodile Tribe members and the joy of the Vine Tribe warriors, the person involved, Stone Eel, had a very calm expression, as if he had done something insignificant.

However, the calmer the stone loach was, the more humiliated Black Armor felt. All the gazes around him were like sharp thorns, pricking Black Armor all over and making him feel uncomfortable, even a little bit losing his mind.

He walked up to the stone loach with a bow and arrow in hand, gritted his teeth and said, "I underestimated you just now, but shooting trees is not a skill. Do you dare to compete with me in shooting fish?"

Fish shooting is a traditional entertainment activity of the crocodile tribe.

Shooting fish can not only obtain food, but also hone archery skills, which is deeply loved by the people of the crocodile tribe.

In fact, shooting fish is a very demanding test of archery skills.

Due to the refraction of light in water and the constant change in the position of fish in the water, the power of the wooden arrow shaft will be weakened after entering the water. It is not easy to accurately hit the fish.

If a tribesman has never fished, even if he is a sharpshooter in the forest, he may not be able to shoot fish successfully because the water will cause errors in his judgment.

Heijia was eager to save his face. He thought that he had no chance of losing if they competed by shooting fish.

The leader of the crocodile tribe, Ci Mu, didn't think so.

After a long period of transactions with the Teng Tribe, plus the generous gift given by the Teng Tribe today, Ci Mu has attached great importance to the relationship with the Teng Tribe. He does not want to cause any resentment to the leader of the hunting team of the Teng Tribe because of an entertaining competition.

Therefore, Ci Mu strode to Hei Jia and stopped him in time, saying, "That's enough. You have already lost the competition. As a warrior of the Crocodile Tribe, can't you afford to lose?"

"I……"

Heijia opened his mouth but was unable to refute the leader's words. However, he was unwilling to accept defeat and felt very uncomfortable for a moment.

At this time, Shi Qiu said, "Chief Ci Mu, since Black Armor wants to compete, let's compete again. It just so happens that I am also a little interested in shooting fish."

Now that the stone loach had spoken, Ci Mu could no longer try to stop it and could only immediately send people to prepare the venue for the fish shooting competition.

Heijia clenched his bow and arrow with great excitement. In this familiar area, he was confident that he could defeat the stone loach in one fell swoop and regain the face he had just lost.

What he didn't know was that the Teng tribe also lived by the river. As archery fanatics, they often used not only fish but also the dead branches and leaves and stone loaches floating on the river as targets.

"To the river!"

Following Ci Mu's order, the members of the Crocodile Tribe and the warriors of the Vine Tribe walked towards the river together. Hei Jia was even more eager to show his skills.

“Clatter…”

On the river bank, dozens of large crocodiles formed a circle under the command of the crocodile tribe warriors, driving all the nearby fish into a river bay.

Standing on one of the big crocodiles was Aoba.

She had not gone to watch the competition between Stone Loach and Black Armor, but when she heard that Black Armor was unwilling to accept the loss and brought up the issue of shooting fish, her favorability towards Black Armor became even lower.

If the leader hadn't given her the task of driving away the fish, she wouldn't have wanted to come here.

When the fish in the river were driven into the river bend, dozens of large crocodiles blocked the fish's escape path and waited quietly.

Soon, the members of the Crocodile Tribe and the warriors of the Vine Tribe gathered near the river bend, and their number was even greater than in the previous competition.

In the river, frightened fish swam back and forth, splashing water everywhere; on the river bank, the crowd watching the excitement was looking forward to it, and the noise was deafening.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

After the leader Ci Mu walked to the river, he used the power of the totem and shouted loudly, gradually quieting the noisy crowd.

Then he led Black Armor and Stone Loach to the best position for shooting fish.

"In this competition, each person shoots ten arrows. Whoever shoots the most fish wins. If the number of fish shot is the same, then the size of the fish will be compared. The person who shoots the most big fish wins. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

Heijia replied loudly. He had already seen Qingye standing on the crocodile's back. He became more and more excited. In front of his beloved, he had to win this competition beautifully and feel proud.

Because he wanted to win so much, Hei Jia couldn't help but use the power of the totem. The crocodile patterns on his face and body quickly appeared, and his eyes gradually turned into vertical pupils. The momentum of the five-color warrior was revealed without any concealment.

Shi Qiu also nodded, but his expression was as calm as ever, as steady as a mountain, forming a sharp contrast with the black armor.

Ci Mu noticed the performance of both men. As an experienced hunter, he could tell at a glance that Hei Jia was too anxious and his mentality was not as calm as Shi Qiu's.

A truly good hunter must remain calm and composed at all times, especially when facing ferocious beasts, as the slightest carelessness may result in his own death.

Black Armor also performs very well when hunting, otherwise he would not be considered the best hunter of the younger generation in the Crocodile Tribe.

But today, when facing the stone loach, Heijia obviously lost his composure and lost in terms of mentality.

Ci Mu wanted to remind him, but when he saw that his vertical pupils had appeared and he was obviously ready to fight to the death, he could only sigh inwardly and pray that he would perform better since he had the advantage of terrain.

In order to prevent the fish from escaping after being shot, Ci Mu had the arrows of Black Armor and Stone Loach poisoned.

This poison is specifically targeted at fish. After being shot, the fish will be paralyzed all over and automatically float to the surface of the water.

After everything was ready, Ci Mu said to the two men, "There are a lot of fish in the river, so there is no order of priority in shooting fish this time. Let's get started."

"call out!"

As soon as Ci Mu finished speaking, the totem power in Hei Jia's body was activated to the extreme, and he couldn't wait to shoot an arrow.

“Crash…”

A big fish was pierced through the back by Black Armor's arrow. It struggled in the water for a moment, and quickly floated to the surface after the poison took effect.

"good!"

The members of the Crocodile Tribe cheered one after another, and many girls looked at each other in amazement.

"call out!"

At this moment, Shi Qiu's arrow was also shot out, and the totem pattern of the Vine Tribe appeared on his body. His whole body seemed to be wearing a green rattan armor, emitting a faint green light.

"puff!"

The stone arrowhead, flashing with cold light, spun rapidly and then accurately pierced the belly of a big fish.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The big fish struggled for a moment, then floated up with the arrow.

"good!"

The warriors of the Teng tribe also cheered. Although they were fewer in number, their momentum was not weak.

When Heijia saw that Shiqiu hit a big fish with his first arrow, he immediately realized that the people of the Teng tribe were familiar with shooting fish, and he felt a little anxious.

He gritted his teeth, forced himself to calm down, then frantically activated the power of the totem, selected a target in the river, and shot arrow after arrow.

“Swish, swish, swish…”

Under the continuous arrows fired by Black Armor and Stone Eel, big fish soon floated up to the surface of the river one after another, and the cheers on the river bank almost never stopped.

When the two men had shot their ten arrows respectively, there were already twenty fish floating on the river. In other words, all the arrows shot by Black Armor and Stone Eel hit the target, without a single one missing.

The accuracy of this archery is jaw-dropping.

Ci Mu waved his hand and said to the Crocodile Tribe warriors on the river: "Catch all the fish!"

"yes!"

The crocodile tribe warriors on the river immediately rode their crocodiles over there, and caught all the twenty fish they shot and placed them on the shore.

Afterwards, someone separated the fish shot by the black armor and stone loach according to the different marks on the arrow shafts and arranged them on both sides.

Ci Mu personally went forward to count the fish, and after counting, he announced: "Hei Jia shot five large fish, three medium-sized fish, and two small fish, and the stone loach leader of the Teng tribe shot five large fish and five medium-sized fish."

"In this competition, the Stone Loach Chieftain of the Teng Tribe wins!"

After hearing Ci Mu's words, the warriors of the Vine Tribe cheered again, while the warriors of the Crocodile Tribe looked at each other in bewilderment and fell into silence.

The black armor seemed to be struck by lightning, the totem patterns on his body quickly dissipated, and the hands holding the bow and arrow were trembling slightly.

Ci Mu walked up to Hei Jia, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's not shameful to lose to a big tribal leader. Just go back and continue practicing. You are still young and you will have plenty of opportunities to win back in the future."

But at this time, Heijia felt his head buzzing and he could not hear anything. Especially when he saw Qingye riding the big crocodile and turning away, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

He walked stiffly to Shiqiu and asked in a trembling voice: "How...how did you do it..."

Shi Qiu said calmly: "Practice every day."

These three simple words contain countless days and nights of hard work, how many cold winters and scorching summers have been experienced, and how much blood and sweat have been paid. Only those who have experienced it can understand.

Hei Jia finally lowered his head: "I... I lost..."

Afterwards, Heijia turned around and left without looking back, and even pushed away the people who wanted to comfort him along the way.

Because at this time, any comfort would be useless to Hei Jia, but would only increase his embarrassment.

Ci Mu looked at Hei Jia's back and sighed, "He is extremely talented. He has rarely lost since he was a child. This blow is quite big for him."

Jingjie smiled and said, "Too smooth is not necessarily a good thing, and a little setback is not necessarily a bad thing. Chief Thorny Wood does not need to worry too much."

Ci Mu nodded with a wry smile, then stepped forward to congratulate Shi Qiu, and then let the members of the Crocodile Tribe disperse.

Although the crowd dispersed, the various legends about the Vine Tribe and the stone loach spread quickly in the Crocodile Tribe.

It was also from this day that the members of the Crocodile Tribe began to have an impression of the Vine Tribe as not only wealthy but also powerful.

On the way back, Jingjie couldn't help but whisper to Shiqiu: "You can obviously use bronze arrows to shoot more big fish and win more beautifully, why do you use stone arrows?"

Shi Qiu said: "The leader said that in other people's territory, one should not be too eager to show off. People who like to show off are likely to attract disasters."

After hearing this, Jingjie immediately gave Shiqiu a thumbs up and felt even more respect for this taciturn leader of the second hunting team.
