The woman who stood up was Su Yuexi. Since she walked out of the crowd of barbarians peacefully, it meant that she had been there for a long time. If she had been there for a long time, why didn't she help Yunwen immediately? In addition, she must have been there for quite a while, but the barbarians didn't seem to reject her, otherwise they would have started a commotion or killed her, but they didn't. This meant that she might have had some dealings with the barbarians.

This reminds me of what Song Bailu said just now. She said that these barbarians wanted to eat Yunwen first because she had the Yangshen Wood in her body, which was a great tonic for them. That's why they cooked a big pot and summoned almost all the people in the tribe. Could it be that Su Yuexi thought the same way?

I shook my head vigorously. It was impossible. No way. How could she be such a person? But I couldn't tell. She had a crush on me. Maybe she really wanted to get rid of Yunwen and replace her. Otherwise, how could we be discovered by the tribesmen when we were near the swamp? It was obvious that someone had reported it in advance, so the tribesmen were prepared and ambushed nearby, which led to our suffering.

Looking at Su Yuexi who was walking out at this moment, I stared at her, although she didn't know I was watching her.

Su Yuexi was speaking in a special language to the chieftain who was sitting on a human bone chair made of a pile of bones. I couldn't understand a word she said, let alone Bai Lu, who could only communicate with gestures. In addition, she could use the Gate of Life and Death to interpret the images in the other person's mind to understand some of his intentions, but other things were difficult. But she had used the Gate of Life and Death before, and if she used it again she might go blind, and she couldn't use gestures now, after all, we were still hiding behind the earthen house and hadn't really appeared.

"Brother Zhou Bo, do you know her? Why are you looking at her like that?" Bai Lu asked.

"Let me ask you, is she a frequent visitor here? What is her relationship with your Wutu tribe?" I also asked.

"I heard that she is a witch and does have some trade relations with our tribe. There were some transactions when I was here, so everyone is not surprised by her coming here." Bai Lu said.

"What?" I was shocked.

Now I am even more certain. When we asked her about the situation, she intentionally directed all the clues to West Island. After we were captured by that tribe, she immediately came to get a share of Yunwen's flesh and blood. After all, Yunwen had the Yangshen Wood in her body, and she may have coveted it for a long time. This move is called luring the enemy into a trap. It is very clever in doing it, and it is also very clever in pretending.

What kind of trade can be done in this barbaric and brutal cannibal tribe? It's nothing more than exchanging some human flesh and bones for some evil sacrificial activities. What else can be exchanged? It turns out that they are just birds of a feather. It's all my fault for being blind.

It must be that Yunwen and I were poisoned by the devil fly. She knew that we would not live long, so she intentionally led us this way so that she could capture us with the help of the Wutu tribe, and then eat Yunwen alive. Now that I think about it, everything is really terrifying. I wonder how a beautiful girl could raise so many spiders, and those spiders have the tendency to bite people. If she is really a righteous person, how could she be so evil?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. I clenched my fists and drew the Golden Que Sword from my waist, thinking that even if I died, I would not let Yunwen suffer such a crime and be deceived by such a sinister villain. So I pushed Bailu away and was about to go out. Song Bailu couldn't stop me and was pushed to the ground by me. I drew the Golden Que Sword and was about to rush towards Su Yuexi. When she saw me, she looked expectant and excited, but when she saw me coming towards her with a fierce look in my eyes and holding the Golden Que Sword high, she was stunned.

I slashed at her with my sword, but she didn't even try to dodge. Fortunately, the Golden Sword was blunt, so there was no cut or slash. But I knew very well how powerful the Golden Sword was. After this sword, she had no time to resist. Not long after, she vomited a mouthful of golden blood and staggered back a few steps. I said angrily, "Why did you lie to us! You deliberately led us here just to use the barbarians of this tribe to capture my husband and me. You want to reap the benefits and have a share of Yunwen's body stew, right? You are so shameless!"

She held her shoulders and shook her head at me, her eyes filled with tears and her face full of grievance. At that moment, I felt a lot more guilty for some reason.

"Zhou Bo, she just proposed a condition to the chief to exchange me and rescue me. Why...why did you attack her?" Yunwen shouted weakly and heartbrokenly.

Now it was my turn to be confused. I made a misjudgment and this led to a big mistake!

"My Lord City Lord, I don't know how unbearable I am in your mind." Su Yuexi vomited another mouthful of golden blood and squatted down weakly.

I hurried over to help her up, but she shook my hand off and added, "If I wanted to harm you, and the red spiders wanted to eat you, and I didn't stop them, they would definitely offer you to me after killing you. Why would I bother doing that? Besides, the purple-gold feather is a divine feather that appeared on the Nine-Sky Black Crane. It's not an ordinary thing. If I wanted to harm you, why would I come here specially to exchange this thing for your antidote and life nectar? You tell me..."

I paused for a moment, not knowing whether this mistake could be undone, and sighed, "I'm sorry, I thought you and the Wutu tribe were accomplices. I'm very sorry, I was impulsive."

"Forget it. It's also my fault that I didn't explain it clearly to the city lord in advance. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's rescue your lady first." Su Yuexi said.

Until now, what she cares about is still my affairs. Although she has made some accusations, they are only a few words. Most of the time, she is afraid that I misunderstood her. Her feelings for me may be much stronger than I thought. If an ordinary person were to suffer such a huge misunderstanding, he would probably be so angry that he would break up with me on the spot, but she didn't. She just held back her grievances and didn't even care about the injuries she was suffering. She was still thinking about me and missing me.

This made me feel so ashamed for a moment that I wanted to stab myself with a sword to pay for my recklessness. But now it is just as she said, saving Yunwen is the most important thing, and the rest can only wait until things calm down a little, and then I will apologize to her properly, even if she takes my life, I will not hesitate.

"I don't know what to say now... I want to say sorry, but I also want to say... thank you." I said, scratching my neck.

As he was speaking, Su Yuexi suddenly frowned and said, "Lord City Lord, now is not the time to talk about this. We still need to protect ourselves. The rest can only be discussed later."

I saw that she looked uncertain, and then I looked in the direction she was looking, then I realized what she meant. I saw that those Wutu people with brown skin, blood-red patterns all over their bodies, short stature and thin and pointed noses, had been silent just now, but now I don't know when they had surrounded Su Yuexi and me. Not only that, they had covered Yunwen's mouth to prevent her from making any sound. It seemed that there were not many people standing behind and on my left and right, and they were a little less powerful.

But behind and around Su Yuexi stood many Wutu people who looked much taller and stronger. Their sights were all directed down Su Yuexi's neck. Ugh, obscene! Could it be that they were thinking?

No, I had made a rash judgment just now, which led to this. Now I should think calmly. These people of the Wutu tribe obviously have no desire in that regard. If they do, why didn't they do that to Yunwen, but just ate her? So I looked at Su Yuexi again. When she saw me looking at her, she blushed. When she looked back at me, she even wanted to take off her coat so that I could see clearly.

I coughed and almost spit out a mouthful of blood, then waved at her.

It was only when she slightly opened her eyes that I could see clearly that there was a purple-gold feather-like object hanging on her chest. It was crystal clear and had a special kind of flowing light. Just one look at it left a deep impression on me.

Now I understood what the Wutu tribe wanted to do. They wanted to take advantage of our weakness and kill us. At this moment, both Su Yuexi and I were at a disadvantage. Because I had used the Golden Que Sword, all my strength was exhausted by the sword, so I could only collapse limply. Su Yuexi was hit by my sword and blood was gushing out of his mouth. He was even weaker.

It was at this moment that the chief of the Wutu tribe planned to take advantage of this opportunity to snatch the purple-gold feather by force, so she set up this formation to trap the two of us, and the main effort was still on her side.

All the troubles were caused by me. If I hadn't been so reckless, there might not be so many troubles at this moment, and Su Yuexi would not have been injured and surrounded. Therefore, I think the best way to forgive myself now is to seize the time, quell the cholera and rescue everyone.

"Think carefully about what to do and think calmly." I muttered to myself.

At this moment, I saw the chief still sitting on the chair made of human bones...
