Xiao is heading south with his hunting team today.
The Sharp Tooth Tribe has lived and multiplied here for many years. The nearby prey has long been hunted or scared away, so now every time they hunt, they have to walk a long way out of the tribe to find prey.
More than half of the entire hunting time is spent on the road.
However, this hunting team of dozens of people has gotten used to it. Although they occasionally step on prickly stones while walking barefoot, they don't care. Instead, they gather in groups of three or four, whispering about something with malicious smiles on their faces.
It was not for any other reason, but because the lips of the young leader leading the team in front were slightly red and swollen.
Either he ate too much chili peppers brought by the messenger of God last night, or the messenger of God ate too much of him last night.
Hehehehe.
Xiao had very good hearing, and he could clearly hear the whispered discussions of the people behind him.
Touching his lips, he missed Wu Yue who had bitten him passionately last night. Unfortunately, he still didn't want to be his partner.
He said it would take a while, but how long would that wait be? Was there something I wasn't doing well enough for? Would he...give up on me and choose someone else as his partner?
As long as he wants, no one in the tribe should refuse him...
The young leader was filled with melancholy.
However, this melancholy was soon forgotten because prey appeared not far away.
It's a herd of deer! These animals have delicious meat and beautiful fur, and have always been very popular in the tribe.
Xiao made a gesture, and the people behind him immediately quieted down. They bent down with him and slowly moved towards the downwind side using the cover of the bushes.
The deer, busy grazing on the tender green grass, were also quite alert, occasionally raising their heads, pricking up their ears, and looking around to make sure there were no carnivores around that could harm them.
A group of people quietly surrounded them and were about to take action when the deer suddenly raised their heads and ran away quickly.
"Oh! Such a group of fat deer, all mixed up!" Shi frowned and looked to the south.
In the distance, a group of people were riding horses and galloping towards this side.
Everyone in the Sharp Tooth Tribe gripped their weapons tightly and stared ahead vigilantly, not for any other reason, but simply because there was only one tribe in this land that could ride horses.
The Malaysians don't have a very good relationship with them.
Ma Tian, who was riding in the front, saw Xiao and the hunting team from afar and was immediately overjoyed.
They had truly been unlucky. They had set out from the Sharp Fang Tribe early yesterday morning, and after a day's journey, they were all exhausted and decided to set up camp anywhere they could. Even the night watchmen dozed off, completely unaware that someone was watching their horses from the darkness.
Suddenly, something unexpected happened and they were attacked. A group of fierce and brutal barbarians rushed up and killed several horses, and even lay on the corpses and sucked the horses' blood.
With the help of moonlight, they tried to resist these dozens of barbarians, but that group of people had very strong fighting power and killed many tribesmen in a few strokes. The others had to abandon their luggage and ride away on horses. Most of the trained horses ran away, but many tribesmen were still caught.
They had nowhere to go, so at Ma Tian's suggestion they decided to return to the Sharp Tooth Tribe to seek refuge, but they unexpectedly met Xiao on the way.
Ma Tian was quite excited and waved his hands and shouted, "Chief Xiao! Save us!"
Unfortunately, the Xiao opposite him had never taken the communication pill and did not understand the strange language at all. Instead, he drew out a sharp Tang sword from the scabbard and made a gesture to fight the enemy.
Only then did Ma Tian realize that the divine envoy Wu Yue, who could communicate with them, was not in the hunting team.
He stopped his horse far away and slowly approached with his bare hands, without any weapon, trying his best not to make any moves that would cause misunderstandings. "Chief Xiao, please rest assured, we have no ill intentions..."
Xiao raised his eyebrows, guessed what he meant, and put away his Tang sword.
Wu Yue once said, "I won't offend others unless they offend me."
Ma Tian breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to ask these people to help rescue his captured enemies, but because of the language barrier, he didn't know where to start.
That’s right! He thought of something and picked up a branch and started drawing on the ground.
The first picture shows a person and a horse lying on the ground sleeping, with someone approaching with a weapon not far away.
The second picture shows some dead people lying on the ground and people squatting in the corner and being surrounded.
The third picture shows a man galloping on horseback.
Ma Tian pointed at the second person who was surrounded and looked at Xiao with a pleading look.
Xiao understood these simple drawings and understood what Ma Tian meant. It seemed that he wanted the Sharp Tooth Tribe to help him rescue his people.
Xiao was a little hesitant, wanting to help but not wanting to help at the same time.
The reason he wanted to help was to take revenge. The tribes in this land were relatively peaceful, and the only ones who could do such a thing were probably those roaming hyenas. These hyenas had killed many of their tribesmen in the past. Now that he knew the whereabouts of his enemies, Xiao naturally wanted to avenge his dead tribesmen.
As for the reason why he didn't want to help, it was because the Dama tribe was too unpleasant. Although Ma Tian, the tribe leader, asked for help in a nice voice, the annoying Ma Wu was still sitting upright on his horse with an indifferent look on his face.
Xiao decided to discuss it with everyone.
Everyone had their own opinions and talked a lot, but in the end they decided to seek revenge on the hyenas, and helping the Dama tribe was just a matter of convenience.
It may be convenient, but there is still a price to pay.
Remembering that Wu Yue wanted someone else's horse, Xiao returned to Ma Tian with a cold face, pointed at the horse he drew, and stretched out his hands to shake it.
This means asking for ten horses as payment for help.
Ma Tian looked conflicted and turned back to discuss with the Malaysian people.
Xiao scoffed, acting as if they had a choice. Without the help of the Sharp Fang Tribe, they wouldn't be able to save their people.
Ma Tian also heard Xiao's laughter and felt a little embarrassed, but his words were not very effective in the tribe now, so he still had to discuss this matter with the chief witch.
Of course, the horse witch didn't want to give the horses away. Wu Yue had seen through his tricks and had already snatched away two horses. Now he wanted ten more. If the horses of the Sharp Tooth Tribe multiplied in the future, what would become of their Great Horse Tribe?
But at this moment, this smart man who has lived for more than sixty years also knows that he cannot defeat those brutal barbarians with the power of the Dama tribe. He must rely on the power of the Sharp Fang Tribe, and even later... he may have to accept the protection of the Sharp Fang Tribe.
Therefore, he readily agreed and even suppressed those tribesmen who disagreed, saying that as long as he could rescue his tribesmen, ten horses were nothing.
His gaze shifted to Xiao, looking him up and down.
Perhaps he should learn the local dialect to build a good relationship with this leader. He didn't have Wu Yue's tricks, but he was older than the boy after all. He only needed to talk about some of the things he had seen and experienced, and the young leader would be impressed by his experience.
Xiao had no idea that he was being targeted. When he saw that Ma Tian agreed to the deal, he took his men and set off.
The non-combat women, wounded soldiers and elderly people were asked to dismount and camp. The people of the Sharp Tooth Tribe urgently learned how to ride horses, and then followed Ma Tian to the place where they had been camped before.
These horses were well-trained by the Dama tribe, so the people of the Sharp Tooth tribe were able to get started quickly. However, because they were not used to it, their speed was inevitably slower than that of the Dama tribe.
It took them most of the day to get there, and by the time they saw the camp from afar, it was almost dusk.
The exiled hyenas set up tents, lit bonfires, and forced the Dama tribe to skin and meat the dead horses, roast them, and send them to them.
The Dama tribe, who had a close relationship with horses, were naturally unwilling, but they were under the eaves, facing this group of bloodthirsty barbarians, and in order to avoid the same fate as the horses, they had no choice but to obey orders.
"These damn hyenas are living a pretty good life!" Shi said hatefully. The hyenas looked so arrogant while eating big chunks of meat, which was totally different from the time when they were running away from their knives in a panic.
"Brothers, hold on to your weapons." Xiao whispered, "We don't have vine armor this time, so be careful to protect yourselves. Try to fight one person with two people."
The original purpose of this trip was hunting, so none of them wore the slightly cumbersome rattan armor. Fortunately, they had the advantage in numbers and sharp knives, so they could still gain the upper hand in a fight.
Everyone in the Sharp Fang Tribe responded in unison, dismounted, and rushed into the camp under Xiao's command.
"Damn hyena, your Grandpa Shi is here!" The one who charged the most fiercely was Shi, waving his sharp knife and killing a hyena exile who didn't react in a few strokes.
"The Sharp Tooth Tribe!" The leader of the exiles was shocked when he saw the people rushing in.
He still clearly remembered how the leader died. It was Xiao from the Sharp Fang Tribe, and the extremely sharp weapon in his hand!
With just a slight scratch, the leader gushed out a large amount of blood and fell to the ground, dead.
This was a scene that often appeared in his nightmares.
Xiao noticed him, drew his Tang sword, and rushed towards him. The scene that overlapped with his dream frightened the leader so much that he shuddered and felt his legs go limp. He wanted to grab the stone spear to resist, but the long sword had already easily cut his throat.
"Uh, uh..." He clutched his neck in terror, trying to say something, but no sound came out. Blood gushed out from between his fingers, and he soon fell to the ground, dead.
Not all of these dozens of exiled hyenas escaped from the knives of the Sharp Fang Tribe. On that day, there was a team of more than 20 people hunting outside. These people had never seen knives and were skeptical when the tribesmen told them about it.
But this time they saw it thoroughly.
Seeing that the leaders of the Sharp Tooth Tribe were waving their weapons and killing or seriously injuring their own people as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, they became afraid and turned around to flee.
How could the people of the Sharp Fang Tribe let them get away like that? They had ridden all the way here and still had plenty of energy. They caught up with them and killed the hyenas in no time.
Although there were one or two who managed to escape, it was unlikely that such a small number of people would cause any trouble.
The battle didn't last long. When it was over and Xiao wiped the blood off his face, the moon had just risen over the mountain.
Ma Tian and the captured Malaysians were amazed by the battle, especially Ma Tian. He originally thought that the Sharp Tooth Tribe only needed to help them drive away the barbarians, but he never expected that they would kill them all.
What's even more terrifying is that no one from the Sharp Tooth Tribe died, at most they were injured, and such wounds were nothing in front of that great messenger of God.
The Sharp Fang Tribe has grown stronger! Is this really a small tribe of just over 200 people?
Xiao glanced at him sideways, guessed what he was thinking, and spoke with pride: "Want to know why we are so powerful? Because of Wu Yue."
In the syllables of this sentence, Ma Tian only understood Wu Yue.
But considering Xiao's expression, he felt that he understood the meaning of this sentence.
