Ma Tian was stunned when he heard Wu Yue's words.
Thinking back carefully, it seems to be true. Those who wanted to trade before were rejected by the horses and fled after seeing the great witch. Even if they forced themselves to mount the horses, they would fall off.
The horses were in the same state as before: irritable, restless, and angry.
By the way, this situation doesn’t just happen to outsiders. Some people in the tribe occasionally encounter the same thing when riding horses.
If the horse is galloping, the man will often fall off the horse and be crippled if not dead.
The chief witch said that this was because these people had offended the horse god and were therefore punished by the god. None of the tribesmen doubted this. After all, there was no reason for a healthy horse to suddenly go crazy.
Therefore, even if the person who fell off the horse and died was their relative, friend, or clan leader, they would not feel sad. Instead, they would insult and curse this person because this person had offended the horse god.
But now think about it, what if it wasn’t the Horse God’s punishment?
What if someone does something to someone he hates just to settle a personal vendetta?
He turned around and stared at Ma Wu.
"Ma Tian!" Ma Wu was already in a bad mood today, and now being stared at by Ma Tian, he was immediately furious. "How dare you look at me like that!?"
He is the Great Shaman, the noblest and greatest person in the entire Dama tribe. No one can offend him, not even the tribe leader!
"Great Wizard, I have something to ask you." Ma Tian completely ignored his anger, because he had already used all his strength to suppress his anger at this moment.
Ma Wu's heart tightened. He was far away, so he didn't hear what Wu Yue and Ma Tian said just now. Could it be...
Humph, even if Wu Yue told him about his use of medicine, so what? He wanted to keep all the horses in the Dama tribe. If such a small tribe lost its horses to escape, they would be killed and robbed in a few days!
He was waiting for Ma Tianwen with a sense of righteousness, so that he could give him a good scolding and even point out that he was no longer fit to be the clan leader.
But then he heard Ma Tian ask, "Great Witch, how did Chief Ma Xue die?"
The former tribe leader, Ma Xue, is one of the few female tribe leaders in the Dama tribe, but she is the best in the tribe in both hunting ability and horse riding skills.
However, just because she was a woman, even though she became the clan leader through her own ability and after a competition, she was still not liked by the great witch.
When she was alive, she once wanted to lead her people to join another tribe. That tribe was very wealthy, and the people in the tribe were very kind and willing to accept them. Most of the tribesmen also hoped to live a stable life from then on.
But Da Wu disagreed, and the two had a fierce argument.
At that time, Ma Tian actually overheard Chief Ma Xue say, "You're afraid that you won't be able to become the high and mighty Great Shaman after you arrive in the Xishan Tribe. You're such a selfish person, you don't deserve it!"
He didn't dare to listen any more and left quickly. A few days later, the tribe leader Ma Xue, who was an excellent rider, fell off his horse and died.
At that time, Chief Ma Xue's beloved horse was also equally anxious and frightened.
When Ma Tian mentioned Ma Xue, Ma Wu was shocked.
But in front of so many people, he certainly wouldn't reveal it. He just said as a matter of course: "Of course it's because she offended the Horse God, and the Horse God brought down divine punishment."
Some of the Malaysians who were watching were standing closer and heard what Wu Yue had just said. When they heard Ma Tian mention Ma Xue, they also began to think about the connection between the two things.
Someone who had been standing further back and hadn't heard anything also started shouting, "Chief! Why are you bringing up that sinner? She deserves it for offending the Horse God!"
Ma Tian turned his head and glared at the person who had shouted. Suddenly, he laughed sarcastically: "Haha, the Ma God has sent down divine punishment? Believe it or not, Ma He, if you disrespect the Great Witch today, you will be punished by God tomorrow as well."
The horse witch remained calm, but the one called Ma He was still dumbfounded: "The Great Witch serves the Horse God. Disrespecting the Great Witch is naturally disrespecting the Horse God, and of course he will be punished by the gods."
Wu Yue, who was watching the show with his arms crossed, slapped his forehead, rolled his eyes, and finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Stupid bastard." He cursed loudly, "Don't you understand? I was wearing clothes just now, and the horses were not close. I took off my clothes and washed them, and I was fine. It's all because your great witch sprinkled something the horses hate on me. Those foreigners who suddenly fell off their horses and died before were probably all your witch's doing!"
Thanks again to the Communication Pills. Now these simple-minded primitive people finally understand everything.
There was a sudden commotion in the crowd. The Malaysians looked at Wu Yue and then at Ma Wu, not knowing who to believe.
"Haha, that's ridiculous." Ma Wu said with a smile, "See? I said this foreigner would use evil magic to take away all the horses. Look, Ma Tian has been bewitched by him!"
He sighed with a look of worry on his face, "Foreigners, foreigners! We were living well, but after Tao Hua came, we often encountered wild beasts, forcing us to cross the mountains to get here. But Tao Hua happened to be injured on the way, and when she got here, there happened to be a divine messenger who could heal her. And this divine messenger happened to be able to get close to the horses and take them away."
"Oh, right." He seemed to suddenly realize something. "Someone just told me that Tao Hua, who had woken up, asked to leave the Dama tribe and go to the Sharp Tooth tribe of this divine messenger."
He looked at Wu Yue and smiled maliciously: "God's Envoy Wu Yue got both the horse and the man. Before leaving, he even tried to deceive the tribe leader and made me the murderer who killed tribe leader Ma Xue. He is really amazing and worthy of being a God's Envoy."
After all, he was the most powerful person in the tribe. After just a few words, the Dama tribe pointed the finger at Wu Yue again, and looked at Ma Tian with dissatisfaction.
As the clan leader, how could you believe the words of outsiders and doubt the great witch of your own clan?!
Wow, Wu Yue looked at Ma Wu, this guy is really good at talking, he fooled these primitive people like fools so quickly.
He wanted to fight back, but when he looked at the group of primitive people who were being fooled around like fools, he suddenly felt that it was meaningless.
He could argue with the horse witch about winning or losing. What if he lost? What if he won? After all, he already had the two horses he needed. As for the internal affairs of the Great Horse Tribe, what was he to do with?
His pants are all wet now, he feels very uncomfortable, he has to go back and change them quickly.
Thinking of this, Wu Yue no longer paid attention to this group of people. He called Xiao and the two horses, turned around and walked towards the Sharp Tooth Tribe.
"See? They're guilty!" Unexpectedly, this action made the horse witch very proud. He pointed at them and shouted, "Quickly surround them, kill them, and take back the horses!"
Damn, Wu Yue had been pissed off so many times today that he was practically laughing this time. He reached out and pulled the Tang sword from Xiao's body, then stood with it horizontally. "So, you want to declare war on the Sharp Fang Tribe?"
When Xiao heard this, his face immediately turned cold, and he put his fingers in his mouth and whistled sharply.
Wu Yue raised his eyebrows, guessing that he was calling for help, and continued to maintain a defensive posture.
The Malaysians didn't want to provoke this alien envoy, and when they saw him holding that extremely sharp weapon, they didn't dare to step forward for a while.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, people from the Sharp Tooth Tribe not far away began to run towards this side with weapons in their hands.
Although most of the able-bodied men went hunting, the number of elderly people, women and children left behind still outnumbered the number of the Dama people. Everyone was armed with weapons, not to mention the sharp Tang sword in Wu Yue's hand.
"Listen up, you idiots of the Dama tribe." Wu Yue was in a bad mood, and didn't care about being polite. "Have you seen the Sharp Fang Tribe? They have a population of 222. They have sharp knives, can farm, make pottery, and make lime to build houses. They also have me, a divine messenger with supernatural powers who can heal illnesses and injuries."
He boasted shamelessly for a few words and continued condescendingly, "We've never taken a small tribe like yours seriously. If we needed those horses," he sneered, "we could kill all of you in a minute and take away all your supplies. We've never done that before. We traded salt with you on equal terms and accepted your chief's request to treat Tao Hua's injuries. Why, don't you feel that..."
He looked down at his face reflected in the gleaming Tang sword and sneered, "...Are we easy to bully?"
"Oh, right." He seemed to have a really bad memory and asked Xiao beside him, "Chief, how many people from the Hyena Tribe did we kill before?"
Xiao simply loved his cocky little look right now. If there weren't so many people around, he would definitely hug him and kiss him to his heart's content! However, he knew it wasn't the right time, so he just sneered and said, "More than a hundred died. I can't remember the exact number. They were all useless trash."
As he spoke, he stared at the Malaysians and said threateningly, "Thinking about that killing, it was such a pleasure. I really want to do it again!"
The Malaysians had no idea what he was saying, but that didn't stop them from feeling scared.
The leader of the Sharp Fang Tribe had a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes!
The Dama people basically do not fight with others. They are too weak. Once attacked, they usually choose to ride away on their horses. Their only combat experience is hunting.
The Sharp Tooth Tribe is considered a small tribe in this land, but that does not prevent them from threatening tribes smaller than them. After such a commotion, Ma Wu finally shut up honestly.
Ma Tian bravely came out and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, Divine Envoy Wu Yue, it's the Dama Clan's fault. Please go back. The Dama Clan would never dare to offend."
He knew Wu Yue's temper. This messenger of God was really a kind-hearted person, but they actually... forced him to this point.
At this time, Wu Yue had long lost the intention to absorb the Malaysian people. He felt that this group of people was hopeless. Now that Ma Tian came to persuade him, he threw the knife back to Xiao.
"Bring Tao Hua out. If she wants to go with us, we will take her away." Taking advantage of the fact that they are in large numbers, Wu Yue said again.
He couldn't forget the way the woman had looked at him, pleading with tears in her eyes, before he left the tent. If he left Tao Hua here and was killed by Ma Wu, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
As for the two horses, he would not return them. He would just regard them as compensation for the mental damage caused by being angered by that old man again and again.
"God's messenger..." Ma Tian took a few steps forward and whispered in front of him, "Please believe me, I will never let Hua get hurt. After all, I am the clan leader!"
That’s it?
"Oh, but isn't Ma Xue also the clan leader?" Wu Yue said coldly, "You've already offended Ma Wu and can barely protect yourself. Don't drag the girl down with you."
Ma Tian fell silent, lowered his head, and stepped back with a frustrated look on his face.
Is this considered as tacit agreement? Wu Yue pushed him aside without hesitation and led his men into Ma Tian's tent. He smiled at Tao Hua in surprise and said, "Welcome to the Sharp Fang Tribe."
There was a hammock in the space. Wu Yue asked someone to pick up some branches and process them a little bit. They managed to make a simple stretcher, carried Tao Hua on it and left.
"Hua..." Ma Tian chased out reluctantly. He thought his lover who had been dead was alive again, but he was not happy for long as he had to part with her again.
"Oh my god..." Tao Hua, who had become a member of the Sharp Fang Tribe, touched his face reluctantly and actually advised, "Leave the Dama Tribe. The Sharp Fang Tribe is a better choice!"
"You!" Ma Wu was furious when he heard this. Tao Hua was fine, she was just an outsider. But Ma Tian, this Dama people, even if he died, could only die in his hands!
Seeing that he was about to start talking again, Xiao raised the Tang sword in his hand, and when he saw that he immediately calmed down, he grinned.
Ma Tian didn't say anything, just shook his head, but he also knew that what he had just said had made the great wizard regard him as an enemy.
Wu Yue said nothing more and directed people to carry Tao Hua towards the Liya tribe.
