"That's good." Jiang Xue stared at her. "Since you say so, I can let you fend for yourself here and see when the plain you mentioned can return."
The man said sarcastically, "The chief said Pingyuan will be back soon. I will wait for Pingyuan here."
"Your clan leader can barely save himself, and you still expect Pingyuan to come back?" Qingye couldn't hold it in any longer. "To tell you the truth, we've already thrown Pingyuan into the mountain stream to feed the fish!"
Qingye's words were like a deep-sea bomb, exploding in the cave in an instant.
"Impossible! Pingyuan is the war god of our Eagle Tribe. No one can defeat him!"
Jiang Xue shook her head. This person is really...how to put it?
So stupid.
"Your Eagle Tribe used to be very powerful. Don't you have any doubts? Why didn't the people you sent out hunting and collecting firewood yesterday return? Why did you suffer an enemy attack the night before yesterday, and even had several of your thatched huts burned down by us?" Jiang Xue smiled meaningfully. "Also, even if you have forgotten what happened before, there are thirty or forty wolves sitting in front of you right now. Why are they attacking you and not us?"
"Don't you find it strange that the wolves gave way to Mu Xin when she came?"
Mu Xin suddenly realized something. She looked at the wolves in front of her in disbelief: "How is this possible? How can we control the wolves?"
Mu Feng still had that indifferent, provocative expression on his face: "Because we have the Snow Witch. In front of the Snow Witch, nothing is impossible."
Mu Xin still couldn't understand, and she still had that confused expression.
Mu Feng's sudden explanation stunned everyone in the Eagle Tribe.
They all started talking.
After a while, another woman holding a child stood up. "Mufeng, I'm Qingsha. I...I want to go over there. Can I let my child come with me?"
Mu Feng nodded: "Qingsha, come here. As for the child..."
"Bring the child here too. He's your own flesh and blood, and a member of our Snake Tribe. We won't make things difficult for him."
Qingsha was relieved and ran over with the child in her arms.
Jiang Xue took another look and found that most of the people here were women. She asked Mu Xin, "Mu Xin, where are the men from our tribe who were captured before? Aren't they here?"
A flicker of resentment crossed Mu Xin's face. "It's all Pingyuan's fault. After he captured our Snake Tribe, he imprisoned most of them in dark mines, forcing them to mine day and night!" Her eyes reddened as she spoke, and she wiped away tears with her sleeve. "Many of them couldn't bear the hardship and tried to escape, but Pingyuan ordered them to be... killed."
"So you mean you know where they are?"
Mu Xin nodded. "I know. I once sneaked down to give them water and food." She looked at Jiang Xue hopefully, "Xue Wu, I can take you down." A hint of hesitation crossed her face. "It's just that the way down isn't easy to walk on, and there are people guarding it."
Jiang Xue glanced at Mu Feng and said, "Mu Feng, I'll take a few people to check out the situation. I'll leave Brother Wolf to you. No matter what they say, you have to keep an eye on them!"
She had counted them when she came in just now. There were only fifteen people here, which was a far cry from the number that the mission required to be eliminated. And now two more people were saved by Mu Feng, so there were only thirteen people left.
"I'd better let me go. No one else can order this wolf brother around except you."
Brother Wolf howled out of courtesy.
Jiang Xue refused: "I'm really worried about you going down. You can be at ease. With Mu Xin by my side, I won't do anything rash."
If he really wanted to do something wrong, he would have done it long ago. There was no way he could have persuaded him to stop.
Mu Feng still shook his head. Jiang Xue refused to give in and raised her fist at him: "If you don't agree, I will order the white wolf to bite them to death!"
Mu Feng sneered. As the saying goes, there is always someone stronger than you. He really had no way to deal with this girl, so he had to agree to let her and Mu Xin go down.
Jiang Xue followed Mu Xin carefully and walked inside. After walking about twenty meters, they saw a man-made carved staircase.
At first glance, the steps seemed to lead straight down, and it was unknown how deep they were.
"Wow, they really know how to enjoy themselves, carving so many steps into the cave."
"Snow Witch, you have to be careful, especially pay attention to your feet. The stones are uneven and not easy to walk on."
"Okay, then you should be careful too." Mu Xin looked at her hesitantly, and Jiang Xue just turned her head towards the stairs and did not notice her expression.
The surface of the steps was indeed as she said, not very flat, and a bit uncomfortable to walk on.
Mu Xin glanced at her feet and said enviously, "Xue Wu, are all the people in our tribe wearing what you're wearing?"
Jiang Xue hummed, "These are called straw sandals. We weave them from thatch we cut during the dry season."
Mu Xin nodded and didn't ask her anything else.
Jiang Xue went down a few steps and asked her, "Mu Xin, do you know what they are doing in here?"
Mu Xin was startled, then said, "I don't quite understand either. Wu Qi said there was some ore in there, and asked the clan leader to go and mine it vigorously."
ore?
Ore underground?
Could it be gold?
After all, Qi Wu is a time traveler like himself. He might really have his own way to find the gold mine. Only the gold mine can make a person from the future world crazy.
After going down sixty or seventy steps, the two men finally heard faint knocking sounds coming from the cave.
When they got here, Mu Xin stopped, nervously pulled Jiang Xue's hand, and whispered to her, "Snow Witch, there are many warriors captured from our tribe here, and they are now being placed here. In addition, the Eagle Tribe has sent more than a dozen people to guard here."
Jiang Xue hummed, "Mu Xin, can you count?"
Mu Xin said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Mu Feng taught me this when we were in the tribe."
So that's how it is.
"Mu Xin, wait here. If I run into any trouble later and tell you to run, just run up and find Mu Feng. Got it?"
Mu Xin suddenly became even more nervous: "Snow Witch, why don't we go up first? There are too many of them. The two of us are no match for them."
"Wait here for a while, and leave the rest to me."
After Jiang Xue finished speaking, she crouched down and walked cautiously into the mine.
After walking about five or six meters inside alone, she came to a left turn. She carefully surveyed the area and saw that there was no one guarding the area, so she moved forward bit by bit, sticking to the stone wall.
