He thought the Yanjiao people had gone too far, but he didn't expect his tribesmen to be so reckless. The chief of the Feather tribe felt embarrassed. He knew they couldn't blame the Yanjiao people for this. Judging from Hong Xi and the others' reactions, he knew the Yanjiao people were telling the truth. They weren't exaggerating.
Why didn't they finish listening to him?!
On second thought, the Feather tribesmen felt that the Yanjiao people were really scheming. They were just waiting to laugh at them.
He looked at the wound on Ming Lu's hand. It wasn't serious, but it looked scary. However, if Ming Lu hadn't reacted quickly and the strange bird hadn't flown a little slower, Ming Lu's hand would have been bitten off a huge chunk of flesh.
Since nothing serious happened, the chief of the Feather tribe calmed himself down. He forced a smile and said to Guigou, "Let's continue what we were talking about. Shao Xuan is here too. Let's talk about going into the forest."
"You guys go up first, I'll catch up later," said Shao Xuan.
The pterosaur that bit Ming Lu had already swam to the surface of the Flaming River. However, it didn't dive into the water. Instead, it swam on the surface like a duck. The only difference was that it bent its wings like it was crawling on the ground. At the same time, it stood up like a sail and used the wind to push it forward.
It didn't stray too far from the shore. At least there weren't any ferocious fish that it couldn't handle. If anything happened, the Yanjiao people would help. If it strayed too far away, it would be dangerous.
Shao Xuan whistled. The pterosaur that was swimming on the surface of the river immediately flew over.
The Feather tribesmen had strange expressions on their faces when they saw this. Was this really not a bird? It looked like a bird, but it didn't care about their methods at all. The Yanjiao people whistled and ran over. Judging by the way they flapped their wings, it was as if they were afraid something would happen if they were too slow.
The Feather tribesmen were right. The pterosaur was afraid that it would be suppressed if it was too slow, so when it heard Shao Xuan's whistle, it didn't dare to delay.
Shao Xuan held a wing in each hand and looked at it. He didn't find any injuries on the pterosaur's body, so he let go. "Go play by yourself. Don't run too far."
The pterosaur cried out, flapped its wings, and flew back into the river. It dove into the water to vent its anger on the fish.
Shao Xuan didn't stay long at the foot of the mountain. After all, the people on the mountain were still waiting for him.
After Shao Xuan left, the young men of the Feather tribe breathed a sigh of relief. They actually wanted to ask Shao Xuan about the strange bird, but they were too embarrassed to do so. After all, they had just made a fool of themselves, and Shao Xuan was in a hurry to go up the mountain, so they didn't have the chance to ask.
"Look over there!" Someone pointed at a certain spot on the Flaming River.
The water there was churning, and there was also the color of blood.
"That seems to be the place where the strange bird went down."
"Aren't there many dangerous fish in this river? Won't it be fine if it goes down? "
"It should be fine. Don't you see that the Yanjiao people aren't worried?"
Everyone looked over. As expected, the Yanjiao people guarding the Flaming River only glanced in that direction. They were very calm, as if they were already used to this scene.
Not long after, the strange bird flew out of the water with half a fish in its mouth. The fish was already incomplete, but even so, the incomplete half was still bigger than the strange bird. It could easily fly with the fish in its mouth. Looking at its teeth, they were like hooks. Even if it was just scratched, it would not feel good.
Seeing the strange bird fly up the tree and eat the fish, Hong Xi was instantly relieved. Luckily, he didn't act rashly. Otherwise, the one injured wouldn't be Ming Lu, but him.
Actually, what Hong Xi didn't know was that if he really did attack, he might not have been injured. Hong Xi's fusion level with the fire seed was much higher than Ming Lu's. When he used his totemic power, the fire seed might appear. The pterosaur was very afraid of that. Its first reaction would be to run, let alone attack.
However, this topic didn't last long. The young people started complaining about feathers being used as currency. The Flaming River Trading Point didn't accept feathers.
Why couldn't feathers be used as a currency? Especially those beautiful and rare feathers. Weren't they precious? Why didn't everyone like them?
The Feather tribesmen had always complained about this. At least within their tribe, it was common to exchange feathers for things. However, outside the tribe, this method was not accepted. After all, not everyone had a special liking for birds.
In the Feather tribe, they needed feathers for power, weddings, and even some important ceremonies. Feathers could be used as decorations and currency in the Feather tribe. Another reason why they tamed birds was to satisfy their need for feathers. The Feather tribe had a strong desire for beautiful feathers. Most of the birds they raised were birds with beautiful feathers, except for those that were used for special purposes. Beautiful feathers can brighten up their mood.
Unfortunately, other tribes didn't have this hobby. Even though the Feather tribe had always wanted feathers as a currency, they had never succeeded.
However, if Shao Xuan was here, he would definitely recommend them to use this method on the slave masters on the other side of the sea. Especially those who called themselves nobles. They liked beautiful and rare things. What the Feather tribe couldn't do here, they might succeed on the other side of the sea.
On the mountain, Guigou, Shao Xuan and the Feather tribesmen were discussing about entering the forest.
This time, Shao Xuan didn't need to bring them. Ta was going to bring some people to hunt, so he would be in charge of this. Of course, they wouldn't bring the Feather tribesmen to all their hunting routes. They only chose a route with the most birds. Ta would bring the Feather tribesmen there.
There were many beautiful birds that the Flaming Horns were not interested in. They never looked at birds that were small in size and had little meat. However, the Feather tribe was interested in these birds. They would catch some birds and bring them back to expand their breeding range to supplement their tribe's bird species.
At the same time, the Feather tribesmen also agreed to help the Yanjiao find some birds that met their requirements. They didn't have to be big, and their tempers weren't too bad either. Otherwise, if they fought all the time in the tribe, how could they survive?
They didn't need Chacha birds either. Yanjiao couldn't raise giant mountain eagles. Snow falcons were rare and couldn't be raised on a large scale.
The birds they needed needed to be vigilant and strong. The Yanjiao looked down on those that were too weak. They needed to be smart. Those that were too slow were useless. They also didn't need birds that could jump up and down every day.
Ta heard a lot about this from the Feather tribesmen. They didn't need birds to dance with them every day. How could they have the time to dance with them?
They didn't care about their appearance or their voice. As long as they met their requirements, even if they looked like a toad, the Yanjiao would still accept them!
The Yanjiao had a lot of requirements, but since they agreed to help the Yanjiao find birds, they would keep their promise unless they couldn't find any suitable ones.
After the discussion, Ta led the hunting team and the Feather tribesmen into the forest.
Twenty days later.
Shao Xuan was drawing blood from the green-faced fanged beasts. These beasts had gotten fat recently and seemed to be getting used to the life of eating and sleeping. They didn't want to go out.
A Yanjiao warrior hurried over.
"Head Elder, the chief wants you to go over. He said Ta and the others are back!"
They're back?
Shao Xuan finished drawing blood from the remaining beasts and sent the blood to the casting room. Then he went to the Yanjiao residence.
He didn't know what kind of birds Ta brought back.
