Mai heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Shao Xuan chatting happily with the person above. It was the first time for them to come here, and they knew from Kun Tu that the higher they went, the stronger the tribes in the caves would be.
They had just defeated the Dishan tribe, so they were very tired and didn't have time to check their injuries. Their fighting capacity had decreased a lot. If they fought with another strong grassland tribe, the Yanjiao tribe would be at a disadvantage. After all, they had fewer people. Moreover, Mai felt that the man above, named Gu La, was much stronger than the leader of the Dishan tribe. He was not sure if he could defeat him.
Looking at the cave of the Dishan tribe, Mai's eyes became serious again. When hunting ferocious beasts in the forest, it was better to kill them all at once. Otherwise, they might encounter unexpected counterattacks and threats like the Thorn Black Wind.
Mai was about to ask the warriors who were not seriously injured to go with him to kill the remaining members of the traveling team of the Dishan tribe. Suddenly, he heard the leader of the traveling team of the Dishan tribe shout up, "Leader Gu La, I have something to say to you!"
Mai's hand, which was about to strike, paused. He gestured to the others to stay put for the time being. Although they had heard about the Hui tribe from other tribes, they were not familiar with them. Mai didn't know how the people of the Hui tribe would react, so he stopped for the time being and waited for the next situation.
The leader of the Dishan tribe had already noticed Mai's killing intent. When he found that the Hui tribe didn't fight with the Yanjiao tribe, he came up with another idea to get out of trouble.
Gu La frowned. He didn't want to intervene in the affairs between the Flaming Horns tribe and the Dishan tribe. The rule here was that whoever was stronger was right. If there were conflicts between the two tribes, they could fight. If they won, they were right. If they lost, they had to retreat or be killed. Therefore, even if the whole team of the Dishan tribe was killed, the people here would not say that the Yanjiao tribe had done anything wrong.
However, why did the Dishan tribe ask him to join them? They must understand the basic rules, especially the people of the Dishan tribe, who had killed many teams before. Unless they had something that could convince the people of the Hui tribe to intervene.
Gu La lowered his eyes so that no one could see what he was thinking. When he raised his head again, he smiled at Shao Xuan and said, "Wait a moment."
This meant that he was telling Shao Xuan that he would wait for the people below to come up.
Shao Xuan did not argue. He raised his hand to stop Chacha, who wanted to fight with Shan Dao.
The leader of the traveling team of Dishan climbed up with blood all over his body. He quickly glanced at Shao Xuan with deep fear and vigilance. Then he walked over and whispered something to Gu La. The two of them went into the cave to have a secret talk.
Seeing the change in Gu La's expression, Shao Xuan sighed in his heart. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to wipe out this team this time. Walking to the edge, Shao Xuan looked down and signaled Mai to treat their wounds first.
About five minutes later, Gu La and the leader of the traveling team of Dishan came out. Gu La looked normal, but the latter looked worse, as if his flesh had been cut off.
They must have promised something that could move Gu La.
When the leader of the Dishan tribe went down, Gu La asked Shao Xuan, "Who's in charge here?"
Shao Xuan shouted down, "Mai, there's something."
Mai was prepared. After coming up, he said to Gu La, "Mai of the Yanjiao tribe."
"Gu La of the Hui tribe." Gu La did not put on airs. Partly because of the mystery of the Yanjiao tribe, and partly because of the giant eagle that Shao Xuan had mentioned.
"Let the people of the Dishan tribe go." Gu La said and pointed to the side. Three people of the Hui tribe went down with him and brought up a few big bags, "This is their compensation."
When the bags were opened, there were a lot of jade, shells and other crystals similar to the water moonstones of the Drumming tribe, which could be used for trading. If they were exchanged for water moonstones, it would be more than twice as much as what the Drumming tribe had given them.
Mai thought for a while and said, "OK."
Gu La only said "let them go". As for what would happen after they left, he didn't care. Therefore, the hidden meaning in his words was that the next time they met, they could do whatever they wanted, and he would not interfere.
Mai also understood. In the two years before returning to the old haunt, they, the former leaders of the hunting teams, were called by the Shaman for training, so they naturally thought differently from others.
Below, the people of the Dishan tribe left with those who were not seriously injured. As for those who were seriously injured, most of them were abandoned.
Lang Ga and the others wanted to say something, but were stopped by Wei, "Let's talk about it later." Since the Hui tribe intervened, this battle could not go on.
In addition to the things that the Dishan tribe took out, there was also a wooden box, which was given by Gu La. There were many rare herbs in it. Of course, for the Yanjiao tribe, they had seen many good herbs, but now they were far from enough, and these herbs could be used in an emergency.
Mai said a few more words to Gu La and made sure that Gu La meant that he would not interfere in the future. Then he left to apply medicine to the injured warriors.
When Mai went down, he only took a wooden box with herbs in his hand. He did not take the other animal skin bags with jade, shells and other things.
"Hey, don't you want these?" A man next to Gu La shouted.
As soon as his voice fell, a gust of wind swept across his face.
Several bags on the ground were all grabbed by Chacha and then flew down.
The people of the Hui tribe looked at Chacha and glanced at Shan Dao next to Gu La. They thought: "This eagle can't be compared with other eagles. Look at him, he can help carry the bags. Even catching a rabbit is a blessing."
"Let's go in and talk?" Gu La pointed to the cave where they rested and said to Shao Xuan.
"Okay." Although Shao Xuan was not happy with the Hui tribe's intervention, he saw that Gu La seemed to have something to say, so he did not refuse at the moment.
After entering the cave, Gu La asked people to guard the entrance and not let anyone get close.
"Do you know what he said to me just now?" Gu La asked.
This "he" referred to the leader of the Dishan tribe.
"No." Shao Xuan did not expect that Gu La would say this to him.
Gu La lowered his voice and said, "The fire crystal mine."
Shao Xuan's eyelids twitched. No wonder the people of the Hui tribe were willing to help the Dishan tribe. It turned out that it was related to the fire crystal. This was indeed a great attraction.
"In the depths of the grassland, the mine is not big. The Dishan tribe has found it, but they haven't been able to eat it yet. Someone stronger than them is fighting for it. " Speaking of this, Gu La sneered, "I know what they are thinking. They want us to compete with the other side, so that the Dishan tribe can take advantage of us."
Gu La paused and asked Shao Xuan, "Do you want to go and have a look?"
Shao Xuan shook his head, "Since it's in the grassland, we won't go there. It's too far."
Gu La actually wanted to sound out the situation of the Yanjiao tribe according to Shao Xuan's reaction, but he did not expect to get such an answer.
"Where is your tribe located? If we go out again in the future, maybe we will visit the Yanjiao tribe. "Gu La said.
"Oh, not too far." Shao Xuan pointed to a direction, "Go straight in that direction, in the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest."
Gu La: "…"
The other people of the Hui tribe who had been listening to them: "…"
Even Shan Dao, who stretched his neck to look out, made a strange cry.
Gu La couldn't keep a straight face, "I remember that there seems to be only the Wan Shi tribe there."
"Yes." Shao Xuan nodded, "It's next to the Wan Shi tribe. But they are outside the forest, and we are inside the forest. "
He asked some more questions about the Yanjiao tribe, but Shao Xuan did not answer more. Gu La also knew that he wouldn't be able to get anything out of him if he continued to ask, so he talked about the matters of the Hui tribe. At the same time, he also talked about his experience of raising Shan Dao.
"It's not easy!" Gu La sighed.
Shao Xuan nodded in agreement while listening, "It's really not easy to raise them."
"Yes." Speaking of this, Gu La became excited again, "At that time, Shan Dao was the smallest egg in the nest. He was only this big."
Gu La said, waving his hands to show the size.
Shao Xuan looked at the size of the egg that Gu La was talking about. When it stood up, it was higher than his knee, and this was "the smallest egg in the nest". Because of this, Shao Xuan's expression became more and more strange.
Gu La was talking excitedly, "When Shan Dao hatched, he was the weakest among his brothers and sisters. After all, he was the smallest egg. People used to say that in the nest of giant mountain eagles, the smallest egg was difficult to hatch. Even if it hatched, it would be difficult to survive, let alone grow up. When I brought Shan Dao here, I didn't have much hope. But who would have thought that Shan Dao not only survived, but also became the strongest among his brothers and sisters. Even in the whole tribe, he is the strongest among the mountain eagles of the same size! "
Gu La's face was filled with pride as he spoke.
In the Hui tribe, this was indeed worth showing off. But he didn't expect that Shan Dao would encounter Chacha the first time he went out with others. Not only did he lose, but he also lost miserably.
The competition between giant mountain eagles had always been like this. In the Hui tribe, there were many fights between mountain eagles, but some were worse than this. Gu La didn't think that they were bullying each other. Giant mountain eagles grew up through repeated challenges. That way, they would have a greater chance to overcome more difficult obstacles in the future. This was why Gu La wasn't too angry when he saw Shan Dao lose miserably.
Thinking of this, Gu La curiously asked Shao Xuan, "I think Chacha also grew very well. He is very strong, almost the strongest among the mountain eagles of this size I have ever seen. When Chacha hatched, its egg must have been very big, right?"
Shao Xuan: "… Haha."
"What are you laughing at? How big is it? Don't worry, it's not an exaggeration. I have seen bigger mountain eagle eggs. So, boy, tell me, how big was Chacha before? "
Shao Xuan stretched out his index finger and thumb and said, "About this big."
Gu La: "…" You think I have never seen a giant mountain eagle's egg?!
Shao Xuan was also helpless. He really didn't know that eagle eggs were divided into different sizes, and the difference was so big. When Chacha hatched from that egg, he could hold it with one hand and almost cooked it.
