"Haha, I can spare the lives of the people from Qimu Village, but you must come back with me!" Dota said with a grim smile.
"Duota, Li Mu formally challenges you. If you have any shame, you should fight Li Mu alone like the warriors of my Python Tribe!" Zawa said hurriedly. He knew that Li Mu and Dota would have no chance of survival if they returned, and he could not risk the entire village for Li Mu. Therefore, he came up with this idea in desperation. For Li Mu, at least there is hope of survival, right?
"Dad, it was obviously not Li Mu who hurt the beast before, why didn't you say it?" Da Niu asked in a low voice.
Zawa smiled bitterly. Li Mu had even beaten the big one now. Did it matter who had injured the small one before? Since Li Mu was going to take it all on his own, he naturally would not refuse. Otherwise, the whole village would be in danger.
"Haha, Zawa, your method of provoking me is too crude, but it is very useful!" Dota laughed arrogantly.
Then he said to Li Mu: "Stinky boy, I accept your challenge. You are lucky to live a little longer. In seven days, it will be the annual mountain closing meeting of my Python tribe. At that time, I will kill you in front of everyone!" The Python tribe takes challenges very seriously. It is a symbol of bravery, so it must be witnessed by a famous person. The reason why Dota agreed to the challenge was not entirely for face, but mainly because he was a little old. Now there were many young people who were not convinced by him. He was looking for an opportunity to knock down those younger generations who were ready to make a move. Li Mu was able to knock down the giant python with one punch, which obviously showed that he had some strength. Therefore, he planned to use Li Mu as a scapegoat at the mountain closing meeting to re-establish his majesty in front of everyone in the Python tribe.
Li Mu had no expression on his face and continued to hold the python's head.
"Li Mu, let it go!" Zawa said softly. He knew that although Dota was brutal, he was a very face-conscious person. Since he had accepted the challenge, he would definitely not make things difficult for Li Mu before that.
Upon hearing this, Li Mu let go of the python and stood quietly opposite Dota.
Dota looked at Zawa meaningfully, then mounted the python again, and they all disappeared into the woods without looking back.
Seeing Duota and others leave, the villagers of Qimu Village rushed forward, surrounded Li Mu, and expressed their admiration for Li Mu.
"Li Mu, you are so awesome, that's General Dota!"
"And that giant python? Even the notorious saber-toothed tiger can't be its opponent, right? You knocked it down with just one punch. How did you do it?"
"Li Mu, tell me the truth, were you scared when you were facing Dota with the giant python's head against yours?"
......
Everyone surrounded Li Mu and asked questions.
"Haha, Zawa, you have matured. Seeing you like this, I feel relieved to hand over the village to you in the future!" Dadong said to Zawa with a look of relief.
Looking at the crowd surrounding Li Mu in front of him, Zawa sighed and said, "I don't know whether this is right or wrong."
"There is no right or wrong. In this world, the most important thing is to protect the tribe members and keep them alive. Although this young man suffered an unexpected disaster, you must also understand that if Zhaya and the others had not saved him, he would have been buried in the belly of that beast long ago. And if it weren't for him, Zhaya and Daniu would not have hurt the beast, and naturally there would not be today's trouble!" Dadong said.
"Yeah!" Zawa nodded, and he still had some confidence in Li Mu's strength. He believed that Li Mu might be able to fight against Dota.
After the noise, Li Mu calmed down. Unlike Zhawa, he had absolute confidence in his own strength. These days, he could feel that he was getting stronger every moment. If he had not been concerned about the possible trouble for Qimu Village, he could have easily killed Dota and his gang.
"Li Mu, you won't have any complaints about me challenging Dota on your behalf just now, right?" Zawa walked up to Li Mu and asked.
Li Mu smiled and shook his head, saying: "Uncle Zawa, I understand your good intentions. Don't worry, I can handle that Duota."
Zawa patted Li Mu on the shoulder and said, "I was right. You are a real man! But you don't have to fight him to death. Just let the leader notice you. The leader is a man who loves talents. Even if you lose, he will protect you!"
"If I accidentally kill Naduta on the day of the challenge, will it cause trouble for the village?" Li Mu asked.
Zawa was stunned when he heard this, then laughed and said, "Boy, it's good to be confident, but don't be too proud and complacent. Dota used to be the best warrior of the Python Tribe, and even I wasn't sure I could escape unscathed from him. Over the years, as a general of the Python Tribe, he has experienced countless battles, both internal and external, and his strength has become stronger. If I fight him now, I may not last more than three rounds!"
After Zava finished speaking, he saw that Li Mu was still serious, as if he was not joking, so he put away his smile and said to Li Mu: "I just said that the leader is a man who loves talents. If you can kill Dota by chance, not only will it not bring trouble to our village, but our village will also be rewarded for discovering a warrior, and you will also be able to be reused by the leader! However, I don't want to see this happen!"
Li Mu was puzzled and asked: "Why?"
"Haha, although Dota is a bit cruel, he is a warrior of my Python Tribe and even the Dragon Tribe after all. One more warrior in the foreign war means a better chance of victory, and the tribe members will have more hope of survival, and the tribe will have more hope of inheritance."
Li Mu nodded.
"In fact, I have always been against the practice of fighting among tribes within the tribe. We are all of the same race, so why should we kill each other and annex each other's tribes? Although this approach can indeed enable the tribesmen to always have the strongest combat power, eliminate the weak, and sharpen the strong." Zawa sighed.
"Raising Gu." A word popped into Li Mu's mind and he said it casually.
"What?" Zawa was puzzled.
Li Mu explained to Zawa the meaning of the word that appeared in his mind.
"That's right, that's what I meant. Alas, it's really hard for the lower-class tribesmen!" Zawa sighed.
Li Mu also nodded. This model is indeed the most effective, but it is indeed a bit cruel for the civilized human society. The saying that the strong survive and the weak are eliminated is just an excuse for human greed to be unsatisfied! If it is just for survival, there will be no wars between tribes that can easily lead to genocide.
