Noticing Xin Che's movements, Jiang Lili guiltily changed the subject. She looked in the direction the spear had come from. "I wonder who threw that spear. What amazing skill! They managed to pierce this giant creature in one go!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately regretted it. After all, it was Xin Che who had just hit the wild boar's vital point.
Upon hearing this, Xin Che turned his head to look in the direction where the spear came from. There was no expression on his face, but Jiang Lili only felt that the atmosphere around them became a little colder.
She just felt that Xin Che's movement of turning his head just now gave her the impression of a noble and arrogant Persian cat.
Jiang Lili wanted to say something but stopped herself, as she had no way of stroking the fur of this cool big cat.
After the frightened herdsmen came to their senses, they immediately shouted to Jiang Lili and the others to run away.
"Goddess, this spear looks like it belongs to the Moon Tribe. Let's run!"
"His behavior is a warning to us. If he can kill this wild boar in front of us, he can kill us now!"
Jiang Lili: ...Is it possible that they were just killing wild boars to eliminate pests or save people?
Just as the four herdsmen were trembling with fear, footsteps were heard and the owner of the spear appeared. A bronze-skinned young man appeared in everyone's sight.
He looked to be nearly eight feet tall, with an astonishingly tall build.
The man was walking barefoot, wearing only a bunch of animal skins. His facial features were deep and three-dimensional, with three lines of paint on each side of his cheeks, and a moon pattern painted in the center of his forehead revealed his identity.
The necklace hanging on his chest was full of wild beast fangs, which looked extremely terrifying.
The man's eyes swept over the crowd like a wolf, his gaze lingered on Xin Che and Jiang Lili, and then he walked towards the wild boar.
Jiang Lili seemed to understand why the Mi people were so afraid of the Yue Clan. The giant stature of the Yue Clan members was simply a nightmare for the Mi people, who were generally short and thin!
Jiang Lili couldn't help but let out a sigh. It was the first time she had seen primitive people who ate raw meat and drank blood so directly. This sigh sounded extremely harsh to Xin Che's ears.
Jiang Lili felt that the air temperature around her had dropped by several degrees Celsius in an instant.
She really just hasn't seen the world and is sighing! How did she become like a fickle woman?
It’s just a few more glances!
Although she thought so in her heart, Jiang Lili couldn't help feeling guilty and ashamed.
At this time, the three herdsmen were trembling with fear. They didn't dare to run, fearing that they would also be pierced by the spears. Only Xi Chengyun could barely remain calm and swallowed his saliva frantically.
The man walked up to the dead wild boar, squatted down, and then pulled out a dagger from his waist.
As the dagger flashed, one of the herdsmen's legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
The sound he made when he fell down made the man look at him.
With just this one glance, the herdsman who was being watched fainted on the spot.
Jiang Lili: ...The psychological endurance of the herders in Panyue grassland needs to be strengthened.
The man saw the herdsman faint after being looked at by him, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face, then he continued his actions.
Jiang Lili and others saw the young Moon Clan man use a dagger to gut the wild boar on the spot. His moves were quick, accurate and ruthless. The wild boar with thick skin and flesh was like a lamb to be slaughtered under the control of the dagger in his hand. In just a stick of incense, half of the pork on the wild boar was sliced off by him.
He took off a cowhide bag from his waist and put the wild boar meat into the bag.
The smell of blood spread to everyone's nose, but the man remained calm.
This scene is really creepy.
After the man finished slicing half of the pork, he dragged the remaining wild boar carcass towards Jiang Lili and Xin Che.
His action immediately made everyone nervous.
Xin Che frowned slightly. Although he didn't look at Jiang Lili, his body movements unconsciously protected her behind him.
However, judging by the man's body movements, he had no intention of attacking.
The man dragged the remaining wild boar carcass in front of Xin Che, then turned and was about to leave.
Xin Che seemed to understand what he meant: "For me?"
The man tilted his head and looked at him, as if he didn't understand what he said. He waved his hand and prepared to leave.
Jiang Lili quickly used the Moon Tribe language she had learned from the pirate leader Rong Yi to communicate with the man, "Is the remaining half of the wild boar for us?"
Jiang Lili is an ordinary little language genius. The language structure of the Moon Clan is relatively simple. After she and Rong Yi studied for a period of time, they were able to reach the level of normal and restrained communication.
When the man heard that Jiang Lili could speak the language of his tribe, he showed a look of surprise, then became happy and smiled at Jiang Lili. It was obvious that he hadn't smiled at anyone for a long time, and this expression was very scary.
He took out an irregular gem bracelet from another cowhide bag hanging around his waist and stuffed it into Jiang Lili's hand.
Jiang Lili was caught off guard when the bracelet was stuffed into her mouth, and she was completely bewildered. However, the young man from the Moon Clan had already turned around and walked a long way away, and his back looked like he was fleeing in panic.
Jiang Lili then remembered that Wen Qiao had said that the group of Moon Clan members living in seclusion in the mountains were socially anxious and not good at interacting with others.
The expressions of the herdsmen standing by had changed from shock to surprise. They couldn't believe that the legendary ferocious and brutal Moon Clan members had just left like that!
Xi Chengyun looked at the remains of the wild boar and fell into deep thought.
The royal guards had helped them eliminate wild boars near the grassland before, and the wild boar corpses looked like this at that time.

The underground passage under the palace where torches flickered.
This is an underground secret passage left behind when the palace of the Kingdom of Mi was first built, which was used for easy escape. It is only known to the kings of all generations and their confidants whom they absolutely trust.
The dim light illuminated the Prime Minister's slightly excited face. "Your Majesty, the people on the mountain report that the goddess has brought the divine messenger up the mountain to confront those Moon Clan members."
"They were very confident and brought only six guards with them. They didn't take the Moon Tribe people on the mountain seriously at all."
The king played with the jeweled ring on his finger, a cold smile flashing from his face hidden in the shadows. "As expected, you can't resist the provocation and insist on proving your ability."
He thought to himself that after so many lucky breaks, the goddess must finally hit a wall! They had been afraid of the Moon Clan for hundreds of years, and this was a shadow hanging over their heads for the past six months.
Upon learning that Jiang Lili had only brought six men, the king asked, "Where are the navy and their own men?"
"The Goddess has taken over thirty ranch divisions so swiftly and decisively, and she needs manpower everywhere."
The Prime Minister shook his head in disapproval. "They are so anxious that they naturally can't mobilize so many troops to protect them all and get to the top of Yuemi Mountain."
The king said sarcastically, "Greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. This time they will suffer."
