Chapter 239 Welcome to the Central Region
Jiang Xuan looked at the place where the black-toothed bird landed and said, "Let's go over there and take a look. Maybe we can run into an old friend."
The warrior was not surprised that Jiang Xuan knew the Black Tooth Tribe, because the Black Tooth Tribe's range of activities was so wide that there were very few tribes that did not know them.
The two men walked towards the fence, and soon they saw the Black Tooth tribe warriors carrying goods downstairs.
Jiang Xuan looked among the soldiers, and when he saw someone, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Chief Wu Yu!"
Wu Yu, who was directing the moving of goods, heard someone shouting and turned around to see Jiang Xuan.
"Chief Xuan?"
Wu Yu was stunned. He never expected to see Jiang Xuan here.
"Hahaha, Chief Wu Yu, you didn't expect that we would meet in the Central Region, did you?"
Jiang Xuan smiled very happily. It was really rare to meet an acquaintance after running so far.
"I really didn't expect that... I was wondering why that purple ferocious bird looked so familiar."
Wu Yu finally understood why the purple ferocious bird had acted like that. It was clearly greeting a familiar bird! Of course, those black-toothed birds did not regard Tang Yuan as a familiar bird. They were frightened by Tang Yuan.
Wu Yu has a very strong psychological quality and he quickly adjusted his state.
"Chief Xuan, welcome to the Central Region!"
"Hahaha, Chief Wu Yu, I also want to visit your Black Tooth Tribe."
"If Chief Xuan wants to go, our Black Tooth Tribe welcomes you at any time."
"Okay, I'll definitely go."
…
The crocodile tribe warrior on the side listened to the conversation between the two and looked at Jiang Xuan in surprise. Obviously, he did not expect that Jiang Xuan was the leader of the tribe.
But if you think about it carefully, it is not that surprising, because Jiang Xuan is a powerful five-color warrior. Although he looks a little young, with the strength of a five-color warrior, there is no problem for him to be a leader.
Wu Yu chatted with Jiang Xuan for a while, and then asked, "Chief Xuan, how come you are in the Crocodile Tribe?"
As far as Wu Yu knew, the Crocodile Tribe was very xenophobic and would not easily allow people from outside the tribe to enter the fence.
Jiang Xuan said: "I happened to save a warrior from the Crocodile Tribe, so the Crocodile Tribe witch allowed me to walk around in the Crocodile Tribe's territory."
"So that's how it is."
Karasuba nodded, finally understanding what was going on.
After a brief chat, Wu Yu was busy doing business with the Crocodile Tribe.
The trading volume between the Black Tooth Tribe and the Crocodile Tribe is extremely large, or in other words, the trading volume between the Black Tooth Tribe and all the large tribes is extremely large.
Jiang Xuan watched as both parties carried over large bags of goods, counted them, estimated their value, and then exchanged them with each other, and the transaction was completed.
Because there were no scales and no uniform price for various goods, this kind of transaction relied entirely on eyesight and brain, and there was a lot of room for maneuver.
Jiang Xuan pondered that if the Teng tribe promoted the use of beam scales and knife coins to determine weights and prices in the future, the Black Tooth tribe's room for maneuver in transactions would become smaller.
At that time, will the Black Tooth Tribe, whose interests have been damaged, become hostile to the Vine Tribe?
Jiang Xuan shook his head, feeling that he was worrying too much.
If the Teng tribe wants to promote the beam scale and knife coins, they still have a long way to go. Who can predict what will happen in the future?
When the transaction was halfway through, the leader of the crocodile tribe, who had not shown up until now, came over.
The leader of the Crocodile Tribe likes hunting and often goes out with the hunting team. He should have just returned to the tribe not long ago, so Jiang Xuan had not seen him before.
"How much was the transaction?"
The leader of the crocodile tribe came over and first looked at the items that had been traded, and then looked at the items that were being traded.
"Chief, the transaction is almost over."
The crocodile tribe warriors gave a brief report to their leader, and then continued to trade the goods they needed with Wu Yu and others.
The leader of the crocodile tribe nodded. Such transactions had been carried out countless times and there would be no problems.
The leader of the Crocodile Tribe watched the transaction completed, then looked around and walked towards Jiang Xuan.
When Jiang Xuan saw his face, he was shocked.
There were seven warrior patterns painted on the face of the crocodile tribe leader using seven colors!
In the past, the most common warrior patterns he had seen were the six-color ones that Huo Meng used to scare people.
A five-color warrior is already very powerful, how powerful would a seven-color warrior be? What is the limit of a warrior?
When Jiang Xuan's mind was filled with all kinds of questions, the leader of the crocodile tribe finally came over.
The leader of the crocodile tribe is a middle-aged man around thirty-five or thirty-six years old. He is very tall and strong, and the totem and warrior patterns on his face give people a strong sense of oppression.
After he walked in front of Jiang Xuan, he took the initiative to introduce himself: "Leader of the Crocodile Tribe, Ci Mu!"
"The leader of the Fuji tribe, Xuan."
Although the opponent was very powerful, Jiang Xuan behaved very at ease.
Ci Mu looked at Jiang Xuan in surprise and asked, "Are you also a tribal leader?"
"Why, doesn't it look like that?"
"He's strong enough, but he's a little young."
"As long as you have the ability, what does age matter?"
"Hahaha, that makes sense!"
Ci Mu laughed and wanted to reach out to pat Jiang Xuan on the shoulder, but when he was halfway there, he retracted his hand like he was bitten by a snake and it was as fast as lightning.
Ci Mu stared at Jiang Xuan's arm and was secretly frightened, because he had just felt an extremely terrifying force.
"What's on your arm?"
Jiang Xuan rolled up his sleeves and said, "It has the totem pattern of our Teng tribe."
Ci Mu stared at the totem pattern on Jiang Xuan's arm, but found that the palpitating feeling just now disappeared, and the totem pattern looked very ordinary.
Could it be that it was an illusion? Ci Mu was puzzled. Out of instinctive vigilance, he did not dare to pat Jiang Xuan's shoulder again.
"Where is your Ivy Tribe located?"
"The Vine Tribe is on the edge of the Southern Wasteland. Go upstream along the river in front of you until you see a tall vine wall. That's where you'll reach our Vine Tribe."
Ci Mu had never been to such a far place and had no plans to go there, so he stopped asking.
"Shiya is a good boy from the Crocodile Tribe. You saved Shiya, and the Crocodile Tribe will remember this kindness. If you need anything in the future, just tell me."
"Thank you, Chief Thornwood."
Jiang Xuan hesitated for a while and asked, "Chief Thornwood, what color is the most powerful warrior?"
Ci Mu replied: "Among the major tribes in the Southern Wilds, the most powerful warriors are the Eight-Color Warriors. However, according to ancient legends, the most powerful warriors should be the Nine-Color Warriors."
"It's a pity that the Nine-Color Warrior hasn't appeared for a long time. I don't know if I can see the birth of the Nine-Color Warrior in this lifetime."
"Nine-color warriors..."
Jiang Xuan was completely shocked!
He originally thought that the five-color warriors were already very strong, but he did not expect that the strongest warriors of the large tribe in the central part had reached eight colors.
He also didn't expect that above the eight-color warriors, there were the legendary nine-color warriors.
If someone really becomes a Nine-Color Warrior, how powerful will he be?
Jiang Xuan found that he couldn't imagine what a Nine-Color Warrior would look like. Would he have some special abilities like a totem god?
What if the Nine-Colored Warrior breaks through again? Will he have divine power and be on par with the Totem God? Since all kinds of animals and plants can become gods, why can't humans?
If a person becomes a god, can he also become the totem god of a tribe? Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan's heart became hot.
What a scene it would be if humans could become gods, possessing long lifespans and powerful divine powers.
Ci Mu didn't expect that his two short sentences would make Jiang Xuan think of so many things.
If he knew that Jiang Xuan wanted to become a god, or even become the totem god of the tribe, he would definitely think he was crazy.
Because since the beginning of witchcraft records, there has never been a case of someone becoming a totem god.
Jiang Xuan chatted with Ci Mu for a while, made an appointment with Ci Mu to have dinner together in the evening, and then Ci Mu left.
As the leader of a large tribe, Ci Mu is very busy and has all kinds of things waiting for him to do.
After the transaction was completed, the Black Tooth Tribe's trading team was about to leave.
Before leaving, Jiang Xuan asked Wu Yu about the location of the Black Tooth Tribe.
Wu Yu replied: "You continue to go forward along the river on the left side of the Crocodile Tribe until you find a big lake. Next to the big lake is our Black Tooth Tribe."
"Chief Xuan, we are going back first. I hope to see you next time in our Black Tooth Tribe."
After Wu Yu finished speaking, he rode on the black-toothed bird and left with the traveling team.
Jiang Xuan wrote down Wu Yu's words. Although Wu Yu did not tell him the specific route, as long as he knew that the Black Tooth Tribe was roughly there, Jiang Xuan believed that he would be able to find it.
When he was about to leave the fence, Jiang Xuan saw the warriors of the Red Ant Tribe again.
Behind the warrior, followed a giant red ant.
Jiang Xuan had never seen such a big ant. It was as big as a calf, and its hard shell seemed to be made of steel, with a metallic luster.
Most importantly, this big red ant has a pair of translucent wings on its back!
Jiang Xuan watched the soldier walk to an open space and stop.
The big red ant lowered its body and spread its translucent wings. Then, the warrior turned over and sat on the back of the giant ant.
“Buzz buzz buzz…”
The red giant ant flapped its wings quickly and flew directly into the sky with the people!
After a while, the giant red ant carrying the people disappeared from Jiang Xuan's sight. Its flying speed was not slow.
Jiang Xuan retracted his gaze and asked the Crocodile Tribe warrior who was accompanying him, "Can all the ants from the Red Ant Tribe fly?"
The warrior replied, "Not really. The Red Ant Tribe has many kinds of giant ants. These flying ants are called flying ants, and their numbers are not as large as other kinds of giant ants."
"So that's how it is." Jiang Xuan nodded.
He had some worries in his heart. The Red Ant Tribe was so powerful. Could the Mountain Turtle Tribe really defeat the Red Ant Tribe and return to the central region?
Jiang Xuan asked again: "Where is the Red Ant Tribe? Is it far from here?"
"The Red Ant Tribe is quite far from our Crocodile Tribe. I heard they live in the southern forest. I haven't been there, so I'm not sure."
"So what's the relationship between your Crocodile Tribe and the Red Ant Tribe?"
The warrior replied: "Our leader doesn't like the Red Ant Tribe. He says those ants are too greedy."
Jiang Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the Crocodile Tribe and the Red Ant Tribe would have a good relationship. If they encountered a conflict with the Red Ant Tribe in the future, there would be a lot of trouble.
Since the Crocodile Tribe doesn't like the Red Ant Tribe, they don't have to worry about being attacked from both sides.
Jiang Xuan wandered around the Crocodile Tribe for a while, trying to learn as much as possible about this large tribe in the central region.
When it was getting dark, Jiang Xuan walked outside the crocodile tribe, called Tangyuan, and let it spend the night in the forest alone.
After dark, Jiang Xuan accepted the invitation of the leader of the crocodile tribe to have dinner together in a stilt house.
After the meal, Jiang Xuan mentioned to Ci Mu that the Teng tribe’s fleet might pass by here in the future.
Ci Mu said: "Chief Xuan is a friend of the Crocodile Tribe, and the Teng Tribe is naturally also a friend of the Crocodile Tribe. As long as they abide by the rules of the Crocodile Tribe, the Crocodile Tribe will never sit idly by when they need help."
"Thank you, Chief Thornwood."
Jiang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. With the help of the Crocodile Tribe, the fleet would have less trouble when sailing to this area in the future.
After all, the Crocodile Tribe is a large tribe, and a powerful one at that, and the surrounding tribes dare not offend them.
The two talked about the situation in the central part of the Southern Wilderness. Then, Ci Mu asked a warrior to take Jiang Xuan to the stilt house where guests were entertained to sleep.
Except for some grand festivals, the tribesmen follow the daily routine of working from sunrise to sunset, because there is too little to do at night.
Jiang Xuan had just been brought downstairs by the soldiers, but Shi Ya's sister Qingye had been waiting here for a long time.
Qingye said to the soldier, "I'll take him there."
"good."
The soldier didn't say much, just turned around and left. After all, he was just leading the way, so it didn't matter who led the way.
"Let's go."
Aoba turned around and walked forward first. Her long hair swung as she turned, with each strand of hair first separating and then gathering together.
Jiang Xuan didn't think much about it and just followed Qingye forward.
At this time, a full moon has hung in the sky, and the bright moonlight shines on the earth. Although it is not as bright as during the day, the scenery on the ground can still be seen clearly.
They walked into a stilt house. There was solid ground underneath the house, no pond, and no crocodiles. It was specially used to entertain guests from outside the tribe.
Qingye first took a burning torch from a nearby stilt house, then took Jiang Xuan to the stilt house used to entertain guests and lit the fire pit in the center.
Under the light of the fire, the furnishings of this stilt house can be seen clearly.
There is no bed in the stilt house because the floor of the stilt house is made of spliced wood.
The people of the Crocodile Tribe are accustomed to laying a layer of bundled reeds on the floor of their stilt houses, and then laying a piece of animal skin on the reeds, so that they can sleep comfortably.
In addition to the bed, there is also a large pottery jar in the stilt house, which is filled with clean water to quench the guests' thirst.
Next to the big pottery jar, there were some fish-scale fruits, seasonal wild fruits and other foods. Two large pieces of animal meat were hung on the fire pit. These were all for the guests to eat.
There are several large animal horns hanging on the walls of the stilt house. They are decorations used by the crocodile tribe to show their strength.
All in all, this stilt house is pretty good.
“Crackle, crackle…”
In the fire pit, as the firewood burned, there was a crackling sound and the flames kept flickering.
Qingye sat by the fire, looking at Jiang Xuan curiously.
Jiang Xuan looks about the same age as her, but his strength far exceeds hers.
Even in a large tribe, five-color warriors like Jiang Xuan's age are extremely rare.
Qingye is already one of the best young people in the Crocodile Tribe, but the gap between him and Jiang Xuan is astonishingly large.
“Are there flowers on my face?”
After hearing Jiang Xuan's voice, Qingye finally realized that staring at the guests like this was not a good behavior.
