The thief was very patient. He waited until the tribesman walked in front of a stall and was attracted by the goods on the stall before he suddenly took action.
“Sizzle…”
The stone in the thief's hand was extremely sharp. He gently grabbed the animal-skin bag with one hand and pinched the stone with the other hand. He easily cut a gap in the animal-skin bag and then quickly took something out of the gap.
The location chosen by the thief was very tricky, and the cut was not big, so the things in the animal skin bag would not fall out immediately, so the tribesman could not find it for a while.
After stealing the things, the thief immediately disappeared into the crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Xuan watched the whole process and was amazed at the thief's timing and speed, as well as the sharpness of the stone in his hand.
Of course, this doesn't mean he would appreciate such behavior.
When Jiang Xuan walked up to the tribesman who had been robbed, he pretended to be surprised and said loudly: "Hey, why is there a big hole in your animal skin bag?"
"Where?"
The tribesman turned around hurriedly and put down the animal-skin bag, and found that there was indeed a big hole in the bag, and it was obviously cut by someone.
The tribesman's face changed drastically and he shouted loudly: "Who did it? Who did this!"
Then he checked the things in the animal skin bag again and found that a relatively valuable item was missing. His anger suddenly rose.
"Whoever did this, stand up!"
He picked up the spear at hand and stared angrily at everyone around him, thinking everyone looked like a thief.
More and more people gathered around, and everyone was talking about it, but they all just wanted to watch the fun.
Wu Yu's face turned black, especially after he had just shown off the power of the Black Tooth Tribe to Jiang Xuan, he saw someone being stolen in the trading area. This was like a slap in the face! "Let me see!"
Wu Yu stepped forward to check the torn animal hide bag and gritted his teeth and said, "It's someone from the Rat Tribe!"
Obviously, this is not the first time that Wu Yu has encountered such a thing.
At this time, everyone's attention was focused on the stolen tribesman and Wu Yu, but unexpectedly, several people in the crowd of onlookers started to take action again.
Jiang Xuan is a five-color warrior and has eaten many fruits from magical plants. His vision and five senses are far superior to those of ordinary people.
Therefore, he soon noticed that someone pretended to watch the fun, squeezed into the crowd, then took out the sharp stone and started cutting the bag quickly.
This time, Jiang Xuan was not going to sit idly by, so he quietly kicked Wu Yu's butt and signaled him with his eyes that the thief was here again.
Wu Yu was also a very shrewd person. He understood as soon as he saw Jiang Xuan's eyes, so he stood up first, then moved a few steps quietly. After reaching the right position, he suddenly pounced into the crowd.
The thieves who were cutting the bags never thought that they would be discovered so quickly, but they were extremely vigilant. When they saw Wu Yu turned around, they immediately gave up cutting the bags and turned around and ran away.
"Catch him!"
Wu Yu didn't expect the thief to be so slippery that he caught him suddenly, so he yelled in frustration.
In the trading area, the warriors of the Black Tooth Tribe pounced on the thief like wolves and tigers.
The thief fled in panic. He moved around in the trading area and finally ran to the edge of the trading area and hid in a pile of firewood.
The warriors of the Black Tooth tribe poked at the firewood pile with their spears, but didn't hit anyone. So they moved the firewood away, only to find a deep hole under the pile.
The thief had already escaped through the hole in the ground.
When Wu Yu, Jiang Xuan and others ran over, what they saw was a pitch-black earth cave and the Black Tooth tribe warriors who were at a loss beside the cave.
Wu Yu's face suddenly turned darker, and he angrily yelled, "So many people, but they can't catch a mouse. You are useless! You are all useless!"
The warriors of the Black Tooth Tribe lowered their heads in shame, and no one dared to talk back.
Jiang Xuan noticed some more details, that is, there was more than one thief who had mixed into the crowd just now, but now, these thieves were gone, and they disappeared very quickly.
In other words, there must be more than one earth hole in the trading area of the Black Tooth Tribe. Perhaps countless passages have been dug out underground.
The thief had already fled, so the crowd that was watching the fun naturally had nothing to watch.
It was at this time that some people who had been circumcised without knowing it began to realize that something was wrong.
"My hide bag is torn!"
"My hide bag is torn too!"
"The pottery I just exchanged is gone!"
…
The crowd became agitated, and everyone began to check their animal-skin bags and personal belongings.
The inspection revealed that the animal hide bags of six people had been ripped and the more valuable items inside had been stolen.
The people who were watching the fun just now started cursing the next moment, and some even wanted to crawl into the hole in the ground to settle the score with the thief.
But this was obviously in vain, as the thief had already run away.
Wu Yu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He gritted his teeth and said to the Black Tooth Tribe warriors, "Open your eyes wider from now on. If you find rats stealing things again, kill them directly. Don't give them a chance to escape!"
"yes!"
The Black Tooth tribe warriors also felt ashamed and held their breath. The next time they encountered a thief, they would definitely kill him.
The crowd gradually dispersed because everyone was afraid of losing anything again and made sure their goods left the trading area.
Those whose things were stolen can only consider themselves unlucky because no one will compensate them.
After Wu Yu's anger subsided a little, Jiang Xuan asked curiously, "You just said that those who stole things were from the Rat Tribe. What kind of tribe is the Rat Tribe?"
Speaking of the Rat Tribe, Wu Yu's anger rose again. He gritted his teeth and said, "A dirty tribe that only knows how to hide in the dark, dig holes, and steal things."
"Can you tell me in detail? If I encounter it next time, I can be prepared."
Wu Yu took a deep breath, suppressed his anger a little, and then began to tell Jiang Xuan about the Rat Tribe.
The Rat Tribe is a small tribe with the mountain rat as its totem. Although their fighting ability is not very strong, they are very good at digging holes.
They also have a unique skill, which is camouflage. They can dress up as warriors from any tribe, blend into that tribe, and then steal.
Throughout the central Southern Wilds, there were many tribes that had been robbed by them, and everyone hated the Rat Tribe.
As the richest tribe, the Black Tooth Tribe was naturally often visited by the Rat Tribe. If it weren't for the Black Tooth Bird God guarding the tribe, these mountain rats would probably have dug into the Black Tooth Tribe's warehouse.
Because they had incurred public anger, several large tribes in the Southern Wilderness had launched a siege on the Rat Tribe. However, these mountain rats were too slippery and they escaped after several sieges, making it impossible to inflict serious damage on the Rat Tribe.
But there is an effect, at least the Rat Tribe is not so arrogant anymore.
Of course, a more low-key rat tribe means they are more difficult to catch, but they still appear from time to time and steal things from various tribes, which is quite disgusting.
After listening to Wu Yu's story, Jiang Xuan gained some understanding of the Rat Tribe and became interested in it.
According to Wu Yu, the Rat Tribe stole from so many tribes, so they must have collected a lot of good things.
If we can get the things collected by the Rat Tribe, it will definitely be a huge fortune.
At this time, the Rat Tribe would never have thought that since they always liked to steal, their own treasure house would be targeted by others.
Of course, Jiang Xuan could not accomplish this feat alone. He needed to wait until the power of the Teng tribe entered the central region before he could plan this matter.
Jiang Xuan and Wu Yu wandered around the tribe for a while. Jiang Xuan thought that he could not gain anything more in the Black Tooth Tribe, so he said goodbye to Wu Yu.
"Chief Xuan, are you leaving so soon? Stay a few more days."
Wu Yu politely tried to keep him.
"Come and stay here next time. I've been away from the Teng Tribe for a long time. I plan to go to another tribe to broaden my horizons before returning to my tribe."
"Which tribe does Chief Xuan want to go to?"
"Spider Tribe."
"The Spider Tribe is not close to here. Even if it is a black-toothed bird, it will take five or six days to fly there. The road is too far and it is not easy to find it."
"It doesn't matter. If Chief Wu Yu can show me the way, I think I can find the Spider Tribe."
"Well, since Chief Xuan is determined to go, I will show you the way."
Wu Yu pointed to the south and told Jiang Xuanzhu where the tribe was approximately, which tribes he would pass along the way, and some of the more conspicuous landforms.
Jiang Xuan wrote down the tribes he would pass by on the way, which was more useful than remembering the topography.
As long as he pays attention to the locations of these tribes while flying along the way, his route will not deviate too much.
Of course, because the journey is too long, it is very difficult to fly accurately to the Spider Tribe, and a lot of time will probably be wasted on the road.
Jiang Xuan was mentally prepared for this. It would be best if he could find the Spider Tribe. If not, he would go to the tribes he met along the way to broaden his horizons.
Jiang Xuan has been out for a long time this time. He must return to the Teng tribe before spring and cannot stay in the central region for too long.
As for those places and tribes that I have not been to, I will leave them for later.
"Thank you, Chief Wu Yu, for showing me the way. We'll say goodbye now and see you next time."
"Okay, I'll see you next time."
Jiang Xuan walked to the place where the Black Tooth Tribe stored their mounts, found Tangyuan, and then took Tangyuan away from the Black Tooth Tribe.
Wu Yu watched Jiang Xuan leave, then returned to the trading area. He wanted to deal with the holes dug by the Rat Tribe, otherwise they would be used by the people of the Rat Tribe again next time.
Jiang Xuan brought Tangyuan back to the small lake. According to his usual habit, Jiang Xuan would definitely ride Tangyuan directly away from the Black Tooth Tribe.
This time he thought the scenery beside the lake was nice, so he took a slow walk along the lake and enjoyed the scenery.
However, he had only taken a few steps when he felt someone was spying on him.
Jiang Xuan glanced around with the corner of his eyes, but didn't see anyone. Despite this, he still believed in his intuition, because the intuition of the five-color warriors was more reliable.
Who is spying on him?
Jiang Xuan showed no fear and continued walking forward calmly. He wanted to see what the other party wanted to do.
