After saying a few words to the leader of the Eight Limbs tribe, Huang Ye turned his head and intended to say something to Qu Ce. However, his sight fell on Shao Xuan, who was standing beside Qu Ce, especially on Shao Xuan's animal skin clothes. His sight stayed on Shao Xuan for two more seconds, and he frowned discontentedly, thinking, "How could Qu Ce know people from such a small tribe?"
Thinking of this, Huang Ye glanced at Shao Xuan again. Except for his clothes, which were very "small tribe" style, he didn't see anything special about Shao Xuan. Seeing that Shao Xuan was still staring at the clothes of the totem warriors of the Mang tribe and the Eight Limbs tribe, Huang Ye was more sure that this was an ignorant person.
Without giving Shao Xuan more sight, Huang Ye looked around and found nothing useful, so he left with his people.
And the people of the Eight Limbs tribe didn't give Shao Xuan more than a glance, and they packed up and planned to leave.
"Little Xu, let's go!" The people of the Eight Limbs tribe said to the woman in white who was holding the white-haired spider.
"You go first, I have something else to do."
"Okay, then we'll go back first!"
After the people of the Mang tribe and the Eight Limbs tribe left, there were only three people left, Shao Xuan, Qu Ce and Xu of the Eight Limbs tribe.
Qu Ce winked at Xu, asking her to test Shao Xuan. Unfortunately, Xu didn't move. She just stood there holding the spider with long white hair, quietly observing Shao Xuan's behavior.
Seeing that Xu didn't cooperate, Qu Ce glared at her. Today, he took Shao Xuan here to let Shao Xuan see the powerful strength of the Mang tribe, especially today, the leader of the Mang tribe was a senior totem warrior. It was rare for a senior totem warrior of the Mang tribe to lead a team to encircle and suppress. For people of small tribes, they would be shocked once they saw it.
But obviously, this guy didn't seem to have much reaction. Except for glancing at the clothes of the warriors of the two tribes, he didn't show any other expression.
Was he shocked or not? Qu Ce was not sure.
Just as Qu Ce was about to find a topic to test Shao Xuan, he saw Shao Xuan walk away.
"Sigh, we can't go there. There's a trap set by Eight of Limbs …"
Before Qu Ce could finish his words, he saw that Shao Xuan had already walked into the area. He thought to himself, "You won't listen to my advice again. You'll suffer later!"
However, after waiting for a while, there was still no movement from the other side. Qu Ce was confused. He looked at Xu, who was standing next to him, and nodded in the direction of Shao Xuan with his chin. He asked, "Didn't you set any traps over there?"
Xu was also puzzled. She remembered that some of the traps set by the people of the tribe were activated when they encircled and annihilated those people, but there were still some that were not removed. They were all traps that were not lethal but could trap people. This was the style of the Eight Limbs tribe. The purpose was to warn some people who came here and let them remember the Eight Limbs tribe deeply and be deeply afraid of them. However, that guy had walked so far, but not a single trap was activated.
Xu, who was getting more and more confused, didn't notice that she had already plucked a handful of hair from the spider in her arms.
Seeing Xu like that, Qu Ce didn't expect her to give a proper answer. He saw Shao Xuan strolling in the woods, and guessed that when the people of the Eight Limbs tribe evacuated just now, they probably removed all the traps.
Seeing Qu Ce walk over there, Xu opened her mouth, but said nothing in the end.
"Sigh, you're Shao Xuan, right? Which tribe are you from … Ah!"
Qu Ce walked over. Before he took two steps into the woods, one of his feet was tied and hung upside down on a tree, swaying.
Qu Ce took out his knife and cut off the thin wire that tied his feet. He landed on the ground, shook off the leaves on his body, and turned back to glare at Xu, who was standing there silently. After a while, he looked at Shao Xuan, who was standing in the woods. The traps were not removed. How could that guy be safe and sound?
Luck?
No, he couldn't be so lucky.
According to the style of the Eight Limbs tribe, since they didn't remove all the traps, there must be a lot of hidden wires and snares waiting for the prey to come to their door. Even if there were only some small things left for the people of the Eight Limbs tribe, many people would still be trapped by those traps, just like Qu Ce's own carelessness and got one of his feet tied just now.
Qu Ce didn't look down on Shao Xuan now. Who on earth was this guy, who could kill four totem warriors so quickly and stroll in the traps of the Eight Limbs tribe? He had never seen the totem patterns on Shao Xuan's body when he was fighting.
This time, Qu Ce didn't continue to walk inside. He just waited at the edge of the woods, watching Shao Xuan stroll in there.
Shao Xuan was very interested in the traps of the Eight Limbs tribe. Although there were only some ordinary traps left, and the more technical ones were removed, Shao Xuan could still see some of the key points and preferences of the people of the Eight Limbs tribe from those simple traps. Moreover, the wires used by the people of the Eight Limbs tribe should be spider silk, right? There were many kinds of spider silk. Although many of the traps had been removed, there were still many subtle traces left on the branches and leaves, which could be seen from those traces.
When Shao Xuan walked out of the woods again, Qu Ce showed a smile that he thought was friendly. He pointed at himself and said to Shao Xuan, "Mang Forest, Qu Ce."
The people of the Mang tribe liked to call themselves "Mang Forest XX". The Mang Forest referred to the wide woods of the Mang tribe. It was said that there were countless treasures in the Mang Forest, and the people who were born in the Mang Forest were also gifted. Their totem warriors of the same level were much stronger than those of other tribes.
Of course, this was just what Shao Xuan heard from the travelers of the Pu tribe. These rumors might have embellished the facts, so it shouldn't be so exaggerated. The warriors of the Yanjiao tribe were also stronger than some of the people of the Pu tribe and the Drumming tribe. This was what Shao Xuan personally experienced.
Anyway, since the people of the Mang tribe introduced him so formally, Shao Xuan naturally replied formally.
Putting several leaves picked from the woods into the animal skin bag, Shao Xuan looked at Qu Ce and answered, "Yanjiao, Shao Xuan."
Yanjiao? Why does it sound so familiar? Qu Ce recalled.
Not only Qu Ce, but Xu, who was standing next to him with the white spider in her arms, also felt familiar.
Shao Xuan looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting dark. I'll go back first."
"Oh, okay." Qu Ce, who was wondering why the word "Yanjiao" sounded so familiar, didn't say much. After Shao Xuan left, he still stood there thinking.
"Hey, Xu, have you heard of the Yanjiao tribe before?" Qu Ce asked.
"I think I have, but it's been too long. I can't remember." Xu touched the spider in her hand, thinking about when she had heard of this tribe.
The two were silent, trying hard to recall when they had heard of this tribe.
"Ah! I remember! "Qu Ce jumped up in surprise, and then said to himself," How could it be? How could it be? "
"What do you remember?" Xu asked.
"That, that!"
"Which?"
"That tribe with strong limbs but no intelligence, violent, barbaric and unreasonable! Didn't you hear the story of Yanjiao when you were a child? "
Hearing Qu Ce's words, Xu was shocked, "Didn't they say that the Yanjiao tribe was destroyed?"
Whether it was the Mang tribe or the Eight Limbs tribe, many children in the tribes were taught when they were very young. Those teachers would tell them some stories, some of which were true, some of which were embellished and blurred, and the story of the Yanjiao tribe was one of them.
It was said that the Yanjiao tribe was one of the famous tribes in the central region at that time, which was at the same level as the Mang tribe, the Eight Limbs tribe and the Thousand Masks tribe. However, the tribe was very barbaric. The shamans in the tribe didn't know anything, and the leader was headstrong. The people in the tribe were all ignorant, arrogant and willful, except for their great strength. Finally, one day, the natural disaster came, and the shamans and the leader in the tribe listened to slanderous words. As a result, the tribe was divided and went on different paths. Later, the tribe was destroyed. Since then, there was one less strong person in the central region.
Qu Ce and Xu were not the only two people who were indoctrinated in this way. Before this, they also thought so. But now, what was the matter with the person who called himself "Shao Xuan of the Flaming Horns"?
When that guy killed people, the totem patterns were very clear, and it didn't look like the destruction of the tribe at all. And his strength was at least at the level of intermediate totem warrior, not inferior to Qu Ce, who had just entered the intermediate level.
That barbaric and tough style was indeed what they had heard, but "ignorant"?
Not necessarily. That brat had tricked all four of his robbers!
The story, which was used as a negative example by the two tribes, seemed to be not what they thought. However, when they were young, when the teachers told the story of Yanjiao, they also sighed with emotion that if the Yanjiao tribe was still there, the situation in the central region would not be like it was now.
Thinking of this, Qu Ce didn't say more to Xu. He had to go back quickly and tell everyone about it. By the way, he asked what the real Yanjiao tribe was like. Not to mention how smart they were, their strength was there, which could not be ignored.
If Yanjiao was really still there, if Yanjiao came back, what should they do?
After Qu Ce left in a hurry, Xu also hurried back to the tribe to tell others.
Several senior leaders of the Mang tribe were still worried about whether there were "robbers" in the forest. When they were discussing, Qu Ce ran over and told them about Shao Xuan.
Just now, they were dissatisfied with Qu Ce's recklessness and wanted to scold him, but now their attention was diverted.
"Shao Xuan of Yanjiao?"
"Is it really that tribe?"
"It's impossible. Didn't they say that the Yanjiao tribe was extinct?"
People suddenly started to talk about it. Although they were talking about it, they didn't have a definite impression and position. They didn't know what kind of tribe the Yanjiao tribe was, so they were just surprised.
The chief on the seat called Qu Ce over and asked him in detail. Then, he asked everyone to leave first. He and the shaman went to a solemn stone house, where some things left behind by the ancestors of the Mang tribe were stored.
When they came to the place where the scrolls were stored, they opened the lid of a big bamboo box. Inside, there were some scrolls made of special bamboo.
At the bottom of the bamboo box, there were scrolls that had not been opened for hundreds of years.
The Shaman of the Mang tribe took out one of the scrolls in the corner of the bottom floor. Because it had been there for a long time, even the special bamboo and animal skin would inevitably change color, showing a sense of age.
When he opened the scroll, what came into view was a picture of two horns wrapped in flames.
"The Yanjiao tribe …"
The next day, when the Mang tribe sent people to the cave to look for them, they found that the traveling team had left early in the morning.
