Shao Xuan told the Drumming tribe about his encounter with the strange man. After the people of the Drumming tribe carefully inspected their territory, they hurriedly counted their own water moon stones to see if they had lost any. This had happened many times in the past.
They thought that the strange man must be a 'robber', but after checking, they didn't find any missing water moonstones, so they were relieved.
Every year, some water moonstones were stolen, but they couldn't catch the culprit. They could only guess, but other than the 'robbers', they couldn't think of anyone else.
The 'robbers' were a very special tribe. The members of the tribe were relatively independent and didn't live together all year round. This tribe was very mysterious. The Drumming tribe had limited information, so Shao Xuan couldn't get more information from them.
"It wasn't stolen. This time, it shouldn't be a 'robber', right?" Fu Shi's wife Ping said.
"I'm not sure. No one knows who he is. We can't find him." Fu Shi sighed.
After the discussion, they found that no one's water moonstones were stolen this year, so they went back.
Shao Xuan didn't stay too long either. After the Drumming tribe people left, he also left. He found that the shaman of the Drumming tribe didn't look too good, but since he didn't say anything, Shao Xuan couldn't force him to tell. He just guessed that if it was really a 'robber', they must have stolen something. This time, no one else's water moonstones were stolen. Could it be that the shaman's water moonstones were stolen?
Shao Xuan didn't know, but he guessed right.
After the Drumming tribe people left, the shaman of the Drumming tribe called the chief over for a private conversation.
"This year's water moonstone was stolen." The shaman of the Drumming tribe said with a cold face as he looked at the empty box.
Every year, after the water moon stones were harvested, they would pick out the biggest one and give it to the shaman to judge. Then they would choose the biggest and brightest one with the best quality. It was also called the "Water Moon King Stone" by the people of the Drumming tribe. This stone would not be taken out for trade. Instead, it was kept by the shaman as one of the offerings during the ceremony.
But now, the King Stone was lost.
The shaman's house was heavily guarded. Even the Drumming tribe and the Drumming tribe couldn't sneak in and steal the king stone.
"Sure enough, it's a robber. However, the robber who came this time is ranked higher," Fan Mu said helplessly.
If Shao Xuan hadn't told them about the abnormality today, perhaps they wouldn't have realized that the Water Moon King Stone was missing until the ceremony.
"Choose another one in secret," the Shaman said.
In the past, the stolen Water Moon Stones could not be recovered. Now that there was a higher grade one, it was even more difficult. Perhaps the other party had already left the Drumming tribe.
"That's the only way."
At the same time, a figure escaped the search of the Drumming tribe and left the area. After leaving the territory of the Drumming tribe, they ran for a while before sitting down on a stone at the foot of the mountain.
"What? Have we been discovered? " A surprised voice came from behind him. Judging from the voice, it was a woman, but her age couldn't be determined.
The man sitting on the stone didn't turn his head and continued to beat his legs, "Don't mention it. I met a strange guy from the Yanjiao tribe. He recognized me at a glance and almost attacked me. Fortunately, I ran fast enough. If we really fought, I would have been delayed by him. When the Yanjiao tribe arrived, I wouldn't have been able to get away. "
"The Yanjiao tribe again? I've never heard of them before. They suddenly appeared, and their strength is not weak. Although they can't be compared with the big tribes in the central region, they can't be underestimated. What's more, they have several ferocious beasts, "the woman said in surprise. After a pause, she asked," Did you get it? "
The man sitting on the stone took out a leather bag from his animal skin coat and took out a shining stone. It was like a high-wattage light bulb, illuminating the surroundings instantly.
This was the Water Moon King Stone stolen from the Drumming tribe!
"I originally wanted to go to the Yanjiao tribe's ship to have a look. Maybe there are many good things. What a pity! "The man sitting on the stone said regretfully as he beat his legs.
"This Yanjiao tribe is interesting. Should we follow them? "The woman said with interest.
"That's fine, but we have to stay away. The previous method didn't work. I have a feeling that it might work in other tribes, but not in this tribe. "
"As far as I know, a few idiots have already started to act according to the old method." The woman's voice had a hint of ridicule.
"Oh, then let's wait and see how they die. At least they can make room for the people behind them," the man sitting on the stone said lightly.
The Yanjiao tribesmen didn't know that they were being watched. Even if they knew, they wouldn't be afraid.
In the next two days, Shao Xuan took ten people from the Yanjiao tribe and went to the Pu tribe with the trading team of the Drumming tribe. They exchanged a lot of things with Zhao. Even if they didn't need them, others in the tribe might need them.
After coaxing and pestering, Ao finally agreed. Keke also followed them to the Pu tribe. For him, things that were rare in other people's eyes were not at all attractive to him, except for those fat frogs that jumped everywhere. If he hadn't promised Ao that he would listen to Shao Xuan's words and not touch the frogs of the Pu tribe, he might have secretly taken away some of the fat frogs of the Pu tribe and eaten them.
Now, the surrounding tribes all knew that in order to deal with the crisis, the Drumming tribe had found help from a tribe called "Yanjiao". It wasn't a famous tribe. However, this time, the people sent by the Drumming tribe and the Drumming tribe were almost completely wiped out. Even a bird didn't come back.
Therefore, when they saw the Yanjiao tribesmen who came with the Drumming tribe, everyone was curious.
However, the Yanjiao tribesmen didn't feel that they were being watched at all. They just did what they should do and asked questions whenever they had doubts. Gradually, they became familiar with this kind of trading. The chief said that they would also need this kind of trading in the future, so they had to master it.
In addition to the frog poison and other things from Zhao, Shao Xuan also exchanged some fishing nets from the Luo tribe, who arrived at the Pu tribe on the same day as them. When they sailed, they could catch some fish.
Here, unlike in the hunting forest, they could get whatever they wanted on the spot. In a place dominated by human tribes, they had to exchange a lot of resources and store them in their hands. They could use them whenever they needed, which saved more time.
After returning from the Pu tribe, the Yanjiao tribe was ready to set off again.
When they left, many people of the Drumming tribe came to see them off, led by Fan Mu and the shaman of the Drumming tribe.
In addition to people, there were also groups of crocodiles. Those crocodiles probably came together to cheer. After all, the ferocious beasts that troubled them had finally left.
"There are some smaller groups of tribes ahead. They may shoot arrows to harass us. Be careful." Shao Xuan said.
The warriors of the Yanjiao tribe standing outside the cabin were all holding wooden and stone shields to defend against the arrows. However, when the boat sailed past, they didn't see any arrows.
Shao Xuan thought about the reason and suddenly felt like laughing. He remembered a joke from a friend in his previous life. "You used to drive a shabby car and you dared to crash. Now that you have a luxury car, you don't dare to crash?"
When Shao Xuan was on a raft, he was constantly harassed by arrows. Now he was on a boat, but he didn't see any arrows. The people hiding behind the trees on both sides of the river didn't take any action. They weren't stupid. They knew who they could mess with and who they couldn't touch.
In the early morning, the surrounding air was a little humid. There were mountains of different heights and forests on both sides of the river. However, compared with the hunting ground, it was much inferior.
In the past, when they were still on the other side of the river, they could climb thousands of feet high cliffs and climb over high mountains in the hunting ground. That was a kind of conquest. But here, the mountains were not as high as in the hunting ground, and the beasts here were not as strong as in the hunting ground. However, there were people here, other tribes, and more challengers. Here, the threat of people was far greater than that of the high mountains and fierce beasts.
Ao's purpose was achieved. After the incident in the Drumming tribe, the people of the Yanjiao tribe had a preliminary understanding of life here, and their mentality had changed. A new challenge, a new life, they had to adapt to, to conquer.
Shao Xuan stood at the bow of the boat and told Ao and the two team leaders about the news he had heard from the Pu tribe. In the past two years, which tribes had disappeared, and which tribes had no sense of existence before?
"By the way, Yan Shuo asked me if I could bring some of his acquaintances here. Xuan, what do you think?" Ao asked.
"Bring them, not only here, but also the wanderer friends of Yan Zhi and the others in the Longboat tribe. We can pick them up when the time comes. Although they don't have strong fighting power, they can help us in other ways. "
Ao nodded, "In this case, you go with Yan Shuo and the others to bring them here."
"Okay. And, chief, our tribe is back. The wanderers in Yanjiao may feel it. "Shao Xuan said.
Speaking of the wanderers in the tribe like Yan Zhi and the others, Ao was refreshed, "Indeed."
Even if they hadn't reached the old land and lit the fire there, maybe they could meet many wanderers of the Yanjiao tribe.
