There is a dense forest next to the lake. At this moment, in a bush in the forest, three people from the Rat Tribe were looking at Jiang Xuan stealthily.
"His animal-skin bag looks so strange."
"There are good things in the animal hide bag. He opened it in the trading area and I saw it."
"Should we take action then?"
"He is a five-colored warrior, and that vicious bird is so scary."
The three of them were itching to get close, but they were afraid of Jiang Xuan's powerful strength and Tang Yuan's ferocity, so they didn't dare to get close.
Jiang Xuan walked by the lake for a while and found that the other party did not make a move, so he turned and walked into the forest.
The three members of the Rat Tribe felt nervous. Had they been discovered?
There is a big rock in the bushes, and at the bottom of the rock there is a hole in the ground, which they had dug before. If Jiang Xuan came over, they would immediately drill into the hole and escape.
Fortunately, Jiang Xuan did not approach the bush, but just wandered in the forest.
He walked for a while and seemed a little tired, so he sat down under a big tree to rest, opened his animal skin backpack, and took out a handful of golden big knife coins to play with.
When the three members of the Rat Tribe saw the golden broadsword coins, their eyes widened.
"Baby, what a beautiful baby!"
Perhaps because they often cut their buns, the people of the Rat Tribe are very fascinated by knives, let alone this kind of golden short knife that they have never seen before.
For a moment, the three of them were itching to steal the big knife coins from Jiang Xuan's hand immediately.
But the problem still exists, their fighting ability is not strong, and they dare not provoke Jiang Xuan head-on. This feeling of seeing but not being able to steal is very torturous for the people of the Rat Tribe.
On the other side, Jiang Xuan was sitting under a big tree. When he took out the big knife coin, he clearly felt the prying eyes became more intense.
Jiang Xuan immediately understood that he must have been targeted by those people from the Rat Tribe hiding in the dark.
Instead of being afraid, Jiang Xuan became excited.
Although Wu Yu told him a lot about the Rat Tribe, if he wanted to truly understand the Rat Tribe, it would be better to capture a person from the Rat Tribe directly.
Jiang Xuan looked at the sky and said deliberately: "It's getting late, let's spend the night in this forest tonight."
"Tangyuan, unload your things first and go hunt for food yourself."
Jiang Xuanzhen climbed onto Tangyuan's back, unloaded all the animal skin bags, and piled them under a big tree.
Tangyuan is quite simple-minded. When Jiang Xuan asked it to hunt, it went hunting without any hesitation.
“Huff, huff, huff…”
I saw it staggering to a piece of open space, then it kicked its legs, flapped its wings, and flew directly into the sky. After circling for a few circles, it went to the nearby forest to hunt.
Jiang Xuan quickly built a simple shelter for himself, picked up some firewood, lit a bonfire using the fire-drilling method, and took out some animal meat to roast.
At this time, the sky had gradually darkened. After Jiang Xuan had eaten and drunk his fill, he leaned against a big tree and closed his eyes. Soon, the sound of even breathing could be heard.
Tribal people do not snore when they sleep because they are very alert even when they sleep and will not make any noise easily.
"He seems to be asleep."
"That vicious bird hasn't come back yet."
“What a great opportunity!”
The three members of the Rat Tribe had been staring at Jiang Xuan. When they saw this scene, they were overjoyed.
By this time, it was already very dark, and the various shadows in the woods were very beneficial to their actions.
Jiang Xuan fell asleep, and the ferocious bird had gone out hunting and had not returned yet. This was a perfect opportunity.
Especially when Jiang Xuan was sleeping, the big knife coin in his hand slipped to the side, shining brightly in the light of the fire.
How could the warriors of the Rat Tribe tolerate this?
"He has so many treasures around him."
"Want to steal?"
"If you miss this opportunity, it will be gone. Give it a try."
The three Rat Tribe warriors were itching to try it out, and after discussing in low voices for a while, they decided to give it a try. They could not miss this great opportunity.
They tiptoed out of the bushes, and then used the various shadows in the woods to slowly approach Jiang Xuan.
As they walked, they carefully observed the situation of Jiang Xuan and the sky.
If Tangyuan came back, or Jiang Xuan showed signs of waking up, they would give up this operation without hesitation.
After all, no matter how good the baby is, it is not as important as your own life.
Gradually, they got closer and closer to Jiang Xuan.
They went around behind the big tree so that even if Jiang Xuan woke up, he wouldn't see them the first time.
Closer and closer.
Jiang Xuan's breathing was still even, and the three members of the Rat Tribe were already able to reach out and grab the large animal hide bag that Jiang Xuan had piled under the tree.
One of the Rat Tribe members licked his dry lips and slowly reached out to grab the golden knife coin next to Jiang Xuan.
At this moment, he was very close to success, and the shadow of the big knife coin was reflected in his eyes.
The other two members of the Rat Tribe each grabbed a large animal skin bag and planned to carry it away.
Finally, the member of the Rat Tribe grabbed the big knife coin, and a happy smile appeared on his face, because this treasure he had never seen before would soon belong to him!
However, just as he was about to take the big knife coin away, a strong hand grabbed his wrist like lightning.
"You dare to steal my things?"
Jiang Xuan's voice rang out, scaring the three members of the Rat Tribe out of their wits.
Two of them threw down the animal-skin bags and ran away as fast as frightened rabbits.
The man who tried to steal the big knife coins was grabbed by Jiang Xuan's wrist and couldn't break free at all.
"Let me go!"
The member of the Rat Tribe panicked. He pulled out a dagger from his waist with his left hand and stabbed Jiang Xuan fiercely.
Jiang Xuan easily dodged the knife, then pulled the Rat Tribe member over with force and hit him hard in the stomach with his knee.
"ah……"
The Rat Tribe member was hit hard in the abdomen and his face turned pale instantly. He let out a scream and his whole body curled up like a cooked shrimp.
Jiang Xuan easily grabbed the Rat Tribe member's hand holding the knife and squeezed it hard. The Rat Tribe member felt pain and instinctively let go of the knife.
The sharp dagger fell to the ground with a "snap".
"Let go of this hand too!"
Jiang Xuan squeezed the hand holding the big knife coin hard, and the big knife coin fell to the ground.
Afterwards, Jiang Xuan twisted the hands of the Rat Tribe member behind his back, pulled out a rope, and tied him up.
By the time he subdued this man, the other two members of the Rat Tribe had already run away, and no one knew where they had hidden themselves in a cave.
Jiang Xuan didn't care. As long as he caught one person, he could force him to tell him about the Rat Tribe.
"Eer..."
At this moment, Tangyuan also came back with its prey. It first threw a wild beast from the air near the campfire, and then found a place to land.
In the woods not far away, the two escaped members of the Rat Tribe poked their heads out of a hole in the ground and looked over there. When they saw the dumplings fall to the ground, their hearts sank.
"It's over, it's over. That vicious bird is back. This time we're in big trouble."
"Then should we save the gray rat?"
"How can we save him? Can you defeat that five-colored warrior and that vicious bird?"
"Then we don't care about the gray rats?"
"Go back and report to the leader first, and let him make the decision."
After the two members of the Rat Tribe discussed in a low voice, they went straight into the hole and soon disappeared.
As for the unlucky guy who was caught by Jiang Xuan, he had actually been abandoned.
Under the big tree, Jiang Xuan tied people to the tree, skinned the beast that Tang Yuan had captured, and then cut some meat and roasted it next to the fire.
The skinned beasts become food for the dumplings.
After doing all this, Jiang Xuan carefully grilled the meat while looking at the captured member of the Rat Tribe.
This man was about twenty years old, with a shifty look and two small eyes that rolled around, making him look like a really spirit mouse.
"What's your name?" Jiang Xuan asked casually.
The man turned his head away and didn't answer at all, looking quite tough.
"You're already tied to a tree, and you're still being stubborn?"
Jiang Xuan picked up a sharpened bronze broadsword, pressed it against the man's arm, and said, "When eating animal meat, the meat on the four legs is often chewier. If you insist, I don't mind trying the meat on your arm to see if it's chewy."
"I just don't know if this hand with the flesh cut off can still steal things in the future."
Jiang Xuan's tone was calm and his movements were gentle, but the member of the Rat Tribe felt horrified because some people in the tribe actually ate people.
The cold blade pressed against the skin, and with just a slight scratch, it could easily cut through the skin and muscles on his arm.
The thought of his flesh being cut into slices, roasted over a fire and eaten by someone suddenly overwhelmed him with fear and he began to tremble all over.
“No…no…don’t…”
The people of the Rat Tribe usually walk in the dark, doing all kinds of sneaky things, so naturally they don't have much backbone.
After being frightened by Jiang Xuan, he surrendered immediately.
"Tell me, what's your name? Don't make me ask it again."
Jiang Xuan was still holding the big knife coin and waving it on his arm. He controlled the strength and distance very well, which made people feel the horror of the blade without actually cutting the skin, making people feel very uncomfortable.
"Gray...gray rat..."
In fear, this man finally faced reality and decided not to resist anymore.
"Look, isn't this good enough? Why do you have to make yourself suffer?"
Jiang Xuan moved the bronze knife down to three inches below his abdomen, and gestured: "Why are you targeting me?"
When the gray rat saw the position of the bronze knife, his whole body tensed up and he shrank back desperately, wishing he could shrink into the tree trunk.
The gray mouse cried, "Because you carry a lot of treasures with you."
"How do you know I brought a lot of treasures?"
Gray Mouse quickly replied, "When we were in the trading area, I noticed that the animal skin bag on you was different from the others. When you opened the bag, I saw a lot of good things inside, including this golden knife."
"So do you want this golden knife?"
"No... I don't want to do it anymore... Please forgive me, I won't dare to do it again..."
The gray mouse really cried, with big tears falling down his face, because the golden knife kept pointing at his thighs, which was really scary.
