From Chen Jia's house to the central region, it wasn't too far, but it wasn't too close either. The Drumming tribe's territory was very large, and because of the many ponds, the people living there weren't as close together as the Yanjiao tribe.
Right now, most of the tribe's warriors had already gone to various places to defend against the invaders. Naturally, there were only a few people left in the inner region, and those who were patrolling and investigating internal dangers might not be able to take care of every place.
Shao Xuan walked beside a pond. Because of the moon, it wasn't dark at night, so he could see his surroundings clearly. However, under these circumstances, there were still hidden dangers that weren't easy to discover.
Qing Yi led the way, his pace neither fast nor slow. He didn't stop because of the hidden dangers in the surroundings, nor did he rush.
Beside the pond, there was a pool of blood. Pushing aside the water plants, he could see a person lying there, no longer breathing. Looking at his clothes, he was from the Drumming tribe.
When Chen Jia and the others saw him, their faces were filled with sorrow, but they didn't say anything. Every year, similar situations would happen, but it wasn't every year that they would suffer heavy losses.
Shao Xuan looked around. With his many years of hunting experience, he could feel that someone was watching them, but he didn't know where the other party was hiding. As long as the other party made the slightest movement, Shao Xuan would be able to tell.
Not only Shao Xuan, but if it were any of the Yanjiao tribe's warriors who were out hunting, most of them would be able to sense it.
Since he couldn't pinpoint their location, he had to use another method.
Shao Xuan activated his special ability, and under his vision, he could clearly see the surrounding trees. There were a few skeletons that were clearly different from the surrounding trees, but some of them were blocked by the trees, so he couldn't see them clearly, or he could only see part of the body.
However, this was enough.
About thirty meters away from them, there was someone hiding there. The other party hid very well, almost as if he had stopped breathing. It was as if he had blended in with the surrounding trees, making him difficult to discover.
Just like what Qing Yi had said, those who could sneak in without anyone noticing must have very good concealment skills. They were like hunters who were waiting for their prey to come to them at the mouth of a trap. In order to achieve their goal, they could even stand in the same place for an entire day and night, maintaining this state of concealment without eating, drinking, sleeping, or moving. Once they found an opportunity, they would launch a surprise attack in one go, and they would even not hesitate to use suicidal methods to drag their target to death.
The Drumming tribe's way of doing things made many other tribes wary. Once the Drumming tribe was involved, they would enter a state of high alert. Every time they encountered the Drumming tribe, there would be a fierce battle.
Walking from Chen Jia's house to here, Shao Xuan had already seen several corpses. They had been killed without a sound.
In the surrounding muddy area or in the grass by the pool, there were some small crocodiles crying. They were very uneasy and anxious for their parents to come back. However, those big guys had to wait for at least one more day, until the day the river rose.
"Everyone be careful." Shao Xuan did not directly point out where the people were hiding. He could see that Qing Yi, who was walking at the front, had already noticed. After all, this was their territory. If he directly pointed out where the people were hiding in the dark, it might actually force them out.
Chacha had not returned yet, and there were still five children here. It was not easy to deal with them.
As they got closer and closer to the people hiding behind the tree, Qing Yi raised his hand and signaled the four people behind him to retreat. At the same time, Shao Xuan also pulled Chen Jia, who was beside him, in another direction.
Qing Yi had just taken a step forward when a figure suddenly rushed out from behind the tree. His eyes were fierce and cold. It was not the emotionless coldness of the Drumming tribe, but a kind of coldness that was filled with bloodlust.
This was a very dangerous tribe. Shao Xuan had already blacklisted the Drumming tribe. When the time came, if the Yanjiao tribe could smoothly come over and return to their homeland, they had to be on guard against the Drumming tribe.
The person who suddenly rushed out had fine scale-like patterns all over his body. He emitted a dangerous aura, instantly causing Chen Jia and the others' hair to stand on end.
The moment the other party rushed out, Shao Xuan discovered that Qing Yi's arms suddenly expanded, emitting a 'ka ka' sound. Other than his arms, the other parts of his body also seemed to be inflated, suddenly expanding. Originally, he looked thinner than the other people of the Drumming tribe, but after this short change, even his loose beast skin clothes became tight.
His mouth opened, revealing four slightly long fangs, two on top and two on top. A low rumbling sound came from his throat. When he looked at the person hiding in the dark, his eyes were like two bright spots. Perhaps it was because of the moonlight, but these two spots were slightly brighter.
When the intruder came closer and closer, Qing Yi also moved. His legs stepped on the ground, meeting the intruder at high speed. The muscles on his entire arm bulged, faintly pulsating. Every muscle contained an enormous explosive force, allowing him to make the fastest attack in the shortest amount of time.
Here, there were no fancy techniques. The battle was more direct and simple, and there were no deceptive moves. There were only direct and decisive attacks, as well as the determination to kill the opponent.
The intruder was holding a bone knife made of animal bones, but when he swung the knife down, he discovered that the knife was caught by a hand.
After Qing Yi held the bone knife with one hand, his other arm smashed down like a stone pillar. At such a close distance, and with such strength, if he was hit, he would be severely injured or even die!
The intruder wanted to dodge, but he discovered that the hand holding the knife had unknowingly clamped down on his arm, like a fierce beast biting down on its prey. Unless he broke his arm, he would not be able to escape.
The intruder had the courage to break his arm, but unfortunately, he did not have the time to do so.
Ka!
The crisp sound of bones breaking could be heard in the air.
The intruder's eyes were still filled with disbelief, but very quickly, the light dimmed. His body twitched, and then he was no longer breathing.
Qing Yi threw the man with the broken skull to the side like he was throwing trash. His legs suddenly exerted force, and he rushed in a direction. There was a small bush there, and it did not look like a good place to hide.
Qing Yi was like a racing car that suddenly accelerated, whizzing past. In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of the bush.
After a few bangs, the sound of bodies colliding was heard, and the sound of flesh being forcefully penetrated was heard.
Immediately after, Shao Xuan saw the figure that was originally hiding behind the bush being torn in half.
It was a very violent and bloody way, very much like the style of the Zhi tribe. If you looked at Qing Yi's eyes now, you would discover that his eyes were not dark brown, but the same as those people with yellow brown eyes who had a violent temper.
Qing Yi was the only person in the tribe who had two colours of eyes. Normally, his eyes were black and looked harmless, but once he was in a fight, they would become violent.
Qing Yi's actions probably made the people lurking around realise that they had been discovered. They rushed out of their hiding places, and felt that Qing Yi was not easy to deal with, so they set their sights on Shao Xuan. As long as they got rid of the older ones, it would be fine. The children were easy to deal with, and they could do it at any time.
The other party used their speed advantage, and when they rushed out, they even changed their positions to avoid the Zhi tribe's sudden burst of speed. As long as they avoided the first move, their chances of success would be higher.
However, Shao Xuan was not from the Zhi tribe, and Shao Xuan was not slower than the other party.
Shao Xuan pulled out his white teeth knife. Ever since he left the tribe, this knife had not undergone the cleansing ceremony. The originally white blade had many red marks on it, left behind by Shao Xuan when he was crossing the river on the canoe. No matter how careful he was, he could not avoid fighting.
And a normal brush would not be able to clean the knife completely. A knife that had not undergone the cleansing ceremony, but had gone through many killings, always carried a terrifying aura. The biting cold knife energy made Chen Jia, who was closest to Shao Xuan, feel a chill on his forehead and back, and couldn't help but shiver.
Shao Xuan took a deep breath, his body crouching. Facing the people rushing over, he did not dodge, but instead met them head-on. The shoulder holding the teeth knife shook, and as if an accelerator was installed in his arm, the knife became a blur as it chopped towards the people in front of him.
Compared to the people of the Zhi tribe, Shao Xuan did not have their inflatable transformation, but the momentum of the knife was stronger, and the power was more ferocious!
The knife drew a blurry arc, and with a light 'puchi' sound, the first intruder who rushed towards Shao Xuan had his neck slit. Because the strength of the attack was too strong, the other party's head was almost chopped off.
After killing one person, Shao Xuan did not stop. Like a leopard on the hunt, he dodged the other person's attack. As he passed by, he used the handle of his knife to hit the other person's arm.
Peng!
The other party's knife did not touch Shao Xuan, and instead heavily chopped into the muddy pool at Shao Xuan's feet.
The powerful knife chopped into the muddy pool, like a small bomb exploding in the muddy pool. The muddy water splashed everywhere, like an earth-colored firework, exploding with a bang.
For a moment, Chen Jia could not see the situation behind the splashing muddy water, but when the muddy water fell again, the battle behind had already ended.
The person standing beside the muddy pool was still holding a black bone knife in his hand, maintaining his chopping posture. The scale-like totemic patterns on his face gradually disappeared, and his eyes stared straight at his chest. There, there was a bloody hole. Blood continuously flowed out, dyeing the muddy water red.
This was the first time Shao Xuan had killed someone, but he was surprisingly calm. He did not know if it was because this body had affected his thinking, or if he was used to the cruel rules of this world, or if he was born cold-blooded?
Swinging his arm to shake off the blood on his knife, Shao Xuan scanned his surroundings. There were still people coming this way, coming from the outside. He did not know if they were trying to force their way in, or if they were trying to sneak in.
No matter what, this was not a place to stay for long. He had to hurry and send the children to the chief.
A shadow flashed across the sky. Shao Xuan was delighted. If he could send the five children over now, things would be much easier.
