Chapter 363 The Mark on the Arrowhead
"Bang!"
Jiang Xuan jumped down from the stilt house holding the frightened Qingye and landed steadily on the ground.
"Chief, are you okay?"
"Chief, who did it?"
"leader……"
A large group of Vine Tribe warriors rushed out at the first moment, surrounded Jiang Xuan, and took a fighting stance to be alert to the Crocodile Tribe members who were also rushing over.
The tribesmen are extremely united, but the side effect is extreme xenophobia. Tonight, Jiang Xuan was nearly ambushed in the Crocodile Tribe, and the friendship that the two tribes had worked so hard to build was instantly wiped out.
When the leaders of the crocodile tribe, Ci Mu and Wu, came over, they saw the tense scene in front of them and suddenly felt a headache.
Although they have considered the possibility of falling out with the Teng Tribe over interests in the future, it definitely won't be today.
Fortunately, Jiang Xuan saw the two people in time and took the initiative to let the Teng tribe warriors in front disperse.
"Chief Xuan, are you not hurt?"
Ci Mu stepped forward and looked at Jiang Xuan's body with concern. He found no signs of bleeding and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Xuan shook his head and said, "Fortunately, the Crocodile God came to our aid in time, otherwise we would have been burned to death upstairs."
The witch of the Crocodile Tribe frowned and said, "There is water under this stilt house, and we in the Crocodile Tribe always pay attention to fire safety. How could there be a fire?"
At this time, Qingye said angrily: "It was not a fire, someone set it on purpose. Just now when we wanted to go out, someone shot arrows and wanted to kill us upstairs."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone present suddenly changed.
The warriors of the Vine Tribe clenched their weapons and stared vigilantly at the potential enemies around them. The members of the Crocodile Tribe were in an uproar. No one had expected that someone would be so bold as to assassinate the leader of the Vine Tribe in the center of the Crocodile Tribe.
"Quiet!"
At the critical moment, Ci Mu roared, a ferocious totem pattern appeared on his face, his pupils turned vertical, and the powerful aura of the seven-color warrior burst out. The noisy crowd was immediately frightened and shut their mouths.
"I'll go up and take a look."
After Ci Mu finished speaking, he quickly climbed up the stilt house without waiting for anyone else to respond.
The vine ladder had been burned off, but this did not pose any problem for Ci Mu. He grasped each protrusion accurately and climbed upstairs in a few steps.
Although the outside of the stilt house was burnt black, it did not collapse after all and the inside was relatively intact. After searching for a while, Ci Mu successfully found the arrow on the wooden wall.
The shaft of this arrow is made of wood, a common wood near the crocodile tribe. It is tough and straight, and the tail is glued with water bird feathers to improve stability. The arrowhead is made of a high-quality stone, which is polished to be sharp and pointed.
The tribesmen had a habit of engraving special marks on their weapons so that when distributing the credit, they could clearly identify who killed a certain prey or enemy.
This arrow is no exception. It has the owner's information clearly engraved on the arrowhead... a pattern similar to crocodile scales.
When Ci Mu saw the pattern, his expression suddenly turned extremely ugly: "How could it be him? How could he do such a stupid thing?"
At one point, Ci Mu really wanted to hide the arrow and pretend that he had never seen it. But when he thought about the fact that everyone was watching, doing such a thing would probably cause him to lose the trust of the Teng tribe forever, and even cause the two large tribes to become enemies.
After careful consideration, Ci Mu chose to take the arrow downstairs and give an explanation to Jiang Xuan and the Teng tribe.
“Boom!”
Ci Mu jumped directly from the upstairs to the ground, and then handed the arrow to Jiang Xuan.
"I'm sorry, Chief Xuan. This was indeed done by a warrior from our Crocodile Tribe. It's all my fault that I didn't notice his hostility towards you in time, and I almost made a big mistake."
After Jiang Xuan looked at it, Qing Ye took the arrow from him, then looked at the mark on the arrowhead and said in a deep voice: "It's Black Armor!"
When they learned the result, the people from the Crocodile Tribe who were watching were suddenly in an uproar again.
Heijia can be said to be the most promising person among the current young generation of the Crocodile Tribe. He has become a five-color warrior before he is thirty years old, and his archery skills are extremely good. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be one of the leaders of the Crocodile Tribe in the future.
No one expected that he would dare to do such a thing in the tribe. It was so bold and self-destructive.
Ci Mu glanced at the witch, and after receiving a signal from the witch, he once again intimidated the noisy crowd, and then said, "Hei Jia openly set fire and killed people in the tribe. His crime is unforgivable. I declare in the name of the leader that from today on, the identity of the Black Armor Crocodile tribe member will be revoked, and he will be captured and brought back to the tribe and handed over to Chief Xuan for disposal!"
"The hunting team will go out immediately and capture Black Armor!"
After Ci Mu's order was issued, whether they were willing or not, all members of the Crocodile Tribe Hunting Team had to immediately take up their weapons and set out to capture Black Armor.
Jiang Xuan and the warriors of the Teng tribe, Ci Mu, rearranged the place for them to rest, and asked the warriors of the Crocodile tribe to take turns guarding, not allowing any mistakes to occur again.
The chaotic situation ended, and the Crocodile Tribe returned to calm on the surface, but the undercurrent surging beneath the surface became even more turbulent.
…
South of the Crocodile Tribe, Nanhe River.
"Damn it, damn it, why would the Crocodile God help them, why?"
On the turbulent river, the man in black armor was riding a big crocodile and fleeing quickly to the south.
After the Crocodile God appeared, he knew that he had no chance of successfully killing Jiang Xuan, and he was afraid that he would be executed if the matter was exposed, so he immediately rode a big crocodile and fled from the tribe.
Tonight, he saw with his own eyes Jiang Xuan and Qing Ye enter the stilt house. When he thought that the woman he had been pursuing but had not received any response from was about to sleep with another man, his reason was instantly burned by anger.
In a fit of rage, he boldly set fire to buildings and shot arrows at people in the tribe.
However, after escaping from the tribe and being soaked in the river, he immediately regained his sanity.
He finally realized what a stupid thing he had done and was terrified of the consequences that would come.
He first hated the totem god of the crocodile tribe. He believed that if the crocodile god had not suddenly appeared to help and suppressed them with his archery skills, Qingye and Jiang Xuan would have been trapped in the stilt house and burned to death.
Afterwards, he hated the big crocodile that Qingye raised. He had clearly put drugs in the water that could make the crocodile unconscious, but the big crocodile still suddenly woke up when the building was burning and issued a warning sound.
He even hated the tribe. If the Crocodile Tribe had refused to contact the Vine Tribe from the beginning, things would not have turned out like this.
He blamed all the mistakes on others to cover up his inner fragility and faults, and convinced himself to continue escaping and living with hatred.
He was shocked and scared, helpless and confused. He could only urge the big crocodile to swim faster. He didn't even have the courage to look back, and he didn't know where he would go after leaving the crocodile tribe.
