After listening to Zawa's story, Li Mu still had no clue.
Looking at Li Mu's confused expression, Zawa also sighed.
Over the next period of time, Li Mu gradually adapted to the life in the village. He usually went out hunting with the young people in the village. Li Mu had a strong learning ability and soon became a first-class hunter in the village. Zawa was so happy to see this that he couldn't stop smiling. He said frankly that he had good vision and even intended to match his daughter Zhaya with Li Mu. However, Li Mu just smiled foolishly at all this.
In this way, Li Mu gradually integrated into the village, and with the help of the villagers, he built his own stone house. During this period, although there were occasional conflicts with neighboring villages, both sides were restrained and there were no radical behaviors. Life was fulfilling and peaceful.
On this day, Li Mu was dealing with a wild beast he had just hunted. A group of children who were playing not far from the village came running back screaming. Seeing that the situation was not good, a group of strong men in the village quickly picked up their weapons and rushed out. Li Mu naturally did not stand idly by and followed them with the tools in his hand.
Before they had walked far, they saw several pythons breaking into the village. Looking up, they saw a strong man wearing exquisite animal clothes sitting on the head of each python.
"Haha, it turns out you are the distinguished guest from Python City! We are sorry for not welcoming you in person!" An old man from Qimu Village hurriedly said with a smile. He was the village chief of Qimu Village, Dadong.
"Old man Dadong, General Dota is not coming to visit your Qimu Village today!" An old man with wrinkles on his face came up from behind several pythons, riding a wild boar and said sinisterly. This man was the chief of Tuo Village next to Qimu Village. There were constant disputes between the two villages, and in the early years they often fought for a little hunting territory.
A python also made a "hiss, hiss" sound from its mouth, which was obviously not very friendly.
Village chief Dadong's heart skipped a beat and he secretly groaned. He had heard of Duota's reputation. He was a general of the Python Tribe, highly regarded by the leader and very powerful. He was a famous warrior of their Python Tribe. It was said that Duota could kill a whole group of evil wolves with his bare hands.
"General Dota, may I ask what instructions you have for our Qimu Village?" asked the village chief Dadong quickly.
"Zawa, long time no see! Who would have thought that the great warrior Zawa, who was once admired by the great chief, would end up hiding in such a small village." Dota ignored Dadong and instead turned his gaze to Zawa.
"Hmph, Dota, stop pretending to be nice to me. Tell me, what exactly are you doing coming to our village?" Zawa snorted coldly, obviously not having a good impression of Dota.
"Do you still remember my old friend?" Dota asked, touching the python under him.
Zawa glanced at it lightly but didn't answer. The python's eyes were fierce and it kept hissing.
"This old friend of mine fought alongside me in the past, and he was considered a hero of the tribe. A while ago, one of his descendants went out for fun, and when he returned, he found that he had been shot with an arrow by someone. As his master, I can't just ignore it, right?" Dota said slowly.
Zawa frowned. Dota's python had indeed performed outstandingly in the great war between the two tribes, but Zawa didn't like it. This beast was too cruel. Not only did it brutally kill people from the enemy tribe, but even its own people could become its food at any time if it didn't like them. In this tribe where strength was respected, no one stopped such a thing. After all, how could the names of a few little warriors compare to such a powerful weapon? It would also offend its owner, Dota. Moreover, there were often disputes between the tribes under the tribe.
A while ago, Zawa's children injured a python when they rescued Li Mu, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Haha, it's not easy to find the villain who hurt the snake in this boundless forest. Fortunately, I have a guard from Natuo Village who knows the arrowhead. After his identification, we found that this arrowhead came from your Qimu Village." Dota said slowly, and then took out an arrowhead from his arms and showed it to Zawa.
"So what do you want?" Zawa asked in a deep voice.
"Haha, it's very simple. Just hand over the villain and let my old friend get rid of his hatred!" Dota laughed.
"Impossible! That beast caused many casualties near our village. The person who killed it can be called a warrior. How can we hand it over as an apology?" Zawa refused.
"Zawa, do you think I am negotiating with you? You should know that you are no longer the glorious warrior Zawa. Moreover, the python is the totem of our tribe. Even if those people are eaten by the python, it is their honor. How dare you say such treasonous words, which is tantamount to the crime of killing the gods!" Dota said coldly.
The pythons under Dota and his men hissed at the same time, ready to attack Zawa at any time. The people from Qimu Village also clenched their weapons and had no intention of retreating.
"General Dota, calm down. I think there must be some misunderstanding in this matter. Zawa, you should also put down your weapons! We are all from the same tribe. Is there anything that cannot be discussed calmly?" Seeing the tense situation between the two sides, Dadong hurriedly advised.
"I was the one who hurt that beast! It is only natural to hunt and kill the beast that hurts people. Haha, it was lucky that it escaped with its life! Although my Python tribe uses pythons as totems, we only let them protect our people. The ultimate goal is still based on the people of our tribe. Otherwise, this totem would be better off not having it!" Zhaya stood up at this time and said loudly.
The python under Dota opened its mouth wide in anger and attacked Zhaya when it heard Zhawa. Zhawa would not watch his daughter fall into the snake's mouth, so he stood in front of Zhaya with an axe. Seeing that the python was about to hit Zhawa, Li Mu rushed towards the python and punched it in the vital spot. The python felt the pain and fell to the ground.
The moment the python lost its balance and fell to the ground, Dota jumped lightly and landed on the ground. Seeing this, the other pythons certainly would not let it go and attacked Li Mu one after another.
Li Mu ignored the pythons and placed the dagger he had used to skin the beasts against the head of the fallen python. He said, "If you dare to come forward again, this beast will die!"
Duota waved his hand to stop his men, and said to Li Mu with a joking look on his face: "Boy, if you dare to hurt its life, this village will no longer exist!"
"That little beast attacked me at that time, so I injured it. You also saw that I just injured this big beast. If you have any problems, just come to me. It has nothing to do with the people of Qimu Village." Li Mu said lightly.
