Mieming's expression did not change, and he spoke lightly, as if he was chatting casually about family matters.
"The commander has offended Xuan Li."
"The Snake People were furious and sent people to attack our tribe."
"Those weak old, weak women and children were no match for us. They were already cooked into fox stew in an iron pot and fed to those snake people."
Sui Xue frowned slightly.
A trace of pity flashed across his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and became calm.
"How many soldiers are left in my tribe?"
Mieming was slightly startled, then he said calmly with a curl of his lips.
"I thought you were going to cede territory and pay compensation again."
"Just now I wanted to remind you that if you continue to cut off the land, my tribe will have to retreat behind Mingyue Mountain."
Mingyue Mountain?
Sui Xue thought for a moment.
In my impression, the mountain was no different from a barren mountain, with no water and no hidden trees.
For primitive beasts whose survival goal is to compete for water and food, staying in such a geographical location is tantamount to suicide.
After Mieming finished teasing, he tapped his chin lazily.
"As for the troops, we still have 3,000 strong foxes left, but we have neither stone daggers nor animal skin armor."
"The Snake People have nearly 7,000 strong snakes, and they are well-equipped."
Having said this, there was more teasing in his eyes when he looked at Sui Xue, as if he was curious about how she would respond.
"In addition, they first captured the riverside area of my tribe, robbed and used my tribe's water resources and food."
"Right now, whether it's a protracted war or a quick one, we'll end up dead."
After listening to this, Sui Xue nodded slightly and began to think seriously.
If we fight, it will naturally not work.
After going around in circles, can we only return to the point of peace talks?
But there is no room for negotiation in their tribe.
Think for a long time.
She raised her eyes, met Mieming's gaze, and spoke seriously.
"They've intercepted our water supply and are using it?"
Mieming nodded and chuckled.
Sui Xue asked, "Upstream or downstream?"
After getting the answer from downstream, Sui Xue understood and said decisively.
"Then just inject the poison upstream. This will minimize the cost and maximize the damage."
"If the river is flowing heavily, we can make some highly concentrated poison, colorless and odorless, in large quantities, so they can't return."
Mieming's pupils paused slightly and his expression changed.
She actually thought the same thing as me.
After all, he had come to her to tell her about this matter because he had been following the smell of body odor, just to see her helpless and funny.
This young commander has always been a useless person. Although he has a cruel heart, his cruelty is focused on competing with females. He has never considered the real business.
He thought he could play the role of a savior and resolve the crisis when she was desperate and in great danger, so that she would have to rely on him.
But now I have learned to be smart.
Mieming's expression changed strangely, and he looked at Suixue with a smile that was not a smile.
But she did not pay attention to Mieming's expression. Instead, she carefully considered the feasibility of the plan and said.
"If there's no source of the toxin, go find the Toad Tribe and steal a few to skin them."
"But don't forget to do it cleanly."
Mieming nodded.
Seeing that everything had been explained, he still had no intention of leaving.
There was no urgent anxiety, but he was casually playing with the wild flowers by the river, looking at the snow still soaked in the water, and said.
"Poisoning the water downstream can certainly solve the immediate problem. However, I have observed that the Serpent Clan leader Xuanli has also drunk the water downstream."
"Commander, don't you feel bad?"
"After all, I have warned you countless times that the snake must not be kept. But you always said—"
"How can you let him die before you even get any sleep?"
Sui Xue was stunned and held his forehead.
Speaking of this, it seems that Xuan Li really cannot die.
But it was not because she didn't get to sleep, but because she still wanted to use Xuan Li's line to gain favor and exchange for system prizes.
Thinking of this, she asked tentatively.
"Then—could we prepare the antidote in advance and have only him take it?"
Does that mean you have to save Xuanli's life?
Mieming's smile remained unchanged, but the temperature in his eyes suddenly dropped and became cold in an instant.
He turned his back, clenched his fist suddenly, and crushed the small flower in his hand into powder.
But when he turned around to look at Sui Xue again, he still looked calm and frivolous, with no sign of emotion.
"Why, you didn't sleep again this time?"
You know what, I actually guessed it right.
Sui Xue's mouth twitched, but she had no intention of hiding anything and nodded generously.
Mieming kept smiling, which made people feel scared.
"Well, since it is the commander's will, how can I not obey?"
"Give me half an hour, and the matter will be settled."
Sui Xue breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to get up and join him.
Unexpectedly, just as she stood firm, she suddenly remembered something and jumped back with a plop.
Damn, how could I forget that the original clothes had covered the original owner's festering skin.
Medical technology in the animal world was underdeveloped, and burns could not be properly treated, so the burned skin was left to swell and fester. The affected area, contaminated by animal hides, must have harbored a lot of bacteria.
Do I have to put on that animal skin covered in moss and poison right after applying the medicine?
But I currently don’t have enough gold coins to ask the system to exchange for suitable clothes.
Then go out naked?
This isn't...good.
Sensing Sui Xue's embarrassment, Mieming tilted his head and squatted in front of her.
"No clothes to wear?"
Sui Xue coughed lightly and nodded unnaturally.
She turned her head away, avoiding his gaze.
Because of her beautiful eyes, everyone who sees her always falls for her. She doesn't want to be attracted by her as soon as she enters the game and become an inferior.
