As they approached the Little Creek tribe, some people walked out of the tribe and looked at the goods with unspeakable greed in their eyes.
There was something wrong with these people, but Xiong Qi, Xiong Ye and the rest did not notice.
"We are from the Big Bear tribe. I came here once before to look for your chief, Leopard." Xiong Qi said.
The leader of the people who came out was a strong man with a stubble. He glanced at Xiong Qi and laughed. "Big Bear tribe? Follow me in. "
Xiong Qi was about to walk in with his men when Zhou Ji frowned. "We are here. Isn't the chief of the Little Creek tribe coming out to welcome us?"
Xiong Qi was stunned and could not react. When he turned around, he saw Zhou Ji standing at the back of the team with a frown and an unhappy look … What happened to Zhou Ji?
Xiong Ye was also confused. Zhou Ji did not like to meddle in things and was very gentle. He had never shown such an expression before. Did something happen?
Xiong Qi wanted to ask on the spot, but Zhou Ji suddenly opened his mouth and stopped him from speaking.
Zhou Ji said with some dissatisfaction, "The people of the Little Creek tribe … are so rude?"
Xiong Qi and the people from the salt exchange team were confused. Polite?
As for the person opposite, he looked at Zhou Ji with a serious expression.
When he saw Zhou Ji and his men, he had already planned to devour the goods, especially after knowing that Zhou Ji and his men were from the Big Bear tribe.
They were from the Giant Tiger tribe.
The Giant Tiger tribe was a big tribe with two thousand people. After the number of people reached one thousand, they could not feed so many people because of the lack of food. At that time, there were two ways.
One was to separate the tribe and send a group of people to live in other places. The other was to migrate the entire tribe.
They chose the latter option.
In the beginning, they only wanted to find a place that had enough food and was suitable for the tribe to live and reproduce. However, it was not easy to find a place that could accommodate a tribe of a thousand people. With so many of them, no matter where they went, they would be able to eat all the prey there in a few months.
They could only keep migrating. During the migration, many old and weak people died.
It was at this time that they accidentally entered the territory of another tribe.
The people of that tribe wanted to drive them away. This angered them, so they directly destroyed the tribe.
After doing this … the people of the Giant Tiger Tribe suddenly discovered that their quality of life had increased sharply.
They could enjoy the good-looking men and women in this tribe. They could eat the food stored in this tribe. They could also hunt as much as they wanted in this tribe's territory.
A year later, when they couldn't find enough food in the tribe's territory, they left the tribe. Then, all of them decided to move on to the next tribe.
Just like that, they invaded other tribes all the way here.
They wouldn't kill all the people from the tribes they attacked. When they encountered experts, they would leave them behind and let them join them. Of course, if some people weren't willing to submit to them, they wouldn't be merciful in killing them.
After so many years, the number of people in their tribe had reached two thousand!
Just before winter came last year, they attacked the Green Mountain tribe because they were short on food and occupied the Green Mountain tribe.
They had obtained a lot of things from the Green Mountain tribe, including a channel to trade for salt and a lot of salt. If they wanted to, they could trade salt for many things from the surrounding tribes.
However, the demand for salt from the surrounding tribes was limited. Even if they could trade salt, they wouldn't be able to feed too many people. Thus, they didn't want to do this business.
They only wanted to conquer all the tribes around the Qingshan tribe.
The place where the Green Mountain tribe was located was a place with lush vegetation and abundant prey. Plus, there were many other tribes nearby. They felt that they could live here for a few years.
The Giant Tiger Tribe was used to invading. Thus, when the salt trading team from the big bear tribe came, they attacked without thinking. However, they didn't have enough preparation and most of the people from the big bear tribe ran away.
But that didn't matter. They would conquer the big bear tribe sooner or later. Of course, the big bear tribe was a bit far away. Thus, they first attacked the small stream tribe near the Green Mountain tribe.
It was said that the big bear tribe had hundreds of people. The area they occupied was also rich in prey … The Giant Tiger Tribe planned to attack the big bear tribe this winter.
They had already learned about the big bear tribe from the people of the Green Mountain tribe. Most of the people in the big bear tribe were bears. As for bears … they wouldn't be strong in winter!
The big bear tribe didn't know much about the Giant Tiger Tribe. However, the Giant Tiger Tribe knew something about the big bear tribe. The leader of the group was one of the people who knew about the big bear tribe.
But at this moment, seeing Zhou Ji scolding them for being rude, he suddenly felt that … things were different from what he had imagined.
This person was called Hu Tiao. At the beginning, he was dissatisfied with Zhou Ji. But after seeing Zhou Ji's appearance, his heart started to race.
The big bear tribe was not close to their tribe. It would take many days to get here. It had rained a few days ago, but the people in this group were all clean. The one who spoke was even cleaner than their chief.
This person was also wearing clothes that weren't made of animal skin … No, not only this person, but the people beside him were also wearing clothes.
The Giant Tiger Tribe had invaded many tribes, so they were well-informed. They knew that there were other large tribes outside the Mang Desolate Forest. It was said that the people there didn't wear animal skin, but clothes made of cloth … That kind of clothes seemed to be worn by the people in front of them?
At that time, their chief had also gotten a set of clothes from another tribe. It wasn't as good looking as this one, but the chief still treated it as a treasure. He would only wear it during important occasions like the Beast God Ceremony.
If he could snatch the clothes these two people were wearing and give them to the chief …
"What are you looking at?" Zhou Ji snorted and walked to the front. Xiong Ye had to wear clothes after transforming into his beast form, so they were at the back of the group.
Hu Tiao was a little annoyed by Zhou Ji, but at the same time, he didn't dare to look down on Zhou Ji.
The people of the Green Mountain tribe said that the big bear tribe was an ordinary tribe, but how could an ordinary tribe have such clothes? How could they be even more arrogant than their chief?
But no matter what, they had to catch them first.
Hu Tiao said, "Our chief is not here now. Can you go in first?" If they caught people outside, they would easily escape. But if they brought them into the tribe, they wouldn't be able to run away.
"I don't want to go in that kind of dirty place. I'll dirty my shoes," Zhou Ji said. He had just made a pair of shoes for himself. The plant fibers used to make the shoes hadn't changed color yet, and they were all snow white.
Hu Tiao noticed his shoes and was even more astonished.
"Xiong Ye, find a clean place for me to rest," Zhou Ji said to Xiong Ye, ignoring Hu Tiao.
At this time, Xiong Ye had already realized that there was something wrong with Hu Tiao and the others, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he quickly took some animal skins and put them on the ground. He also put a chair on top for Zhou Ji to sit on.
They had too many animal skins recently, so they didn't care about it.
As for the chair … Zhou Ji had asked him to make it. When they were hurrying, Niu Er would carry it on his back. When they were setting up camp, he would take it out for Zhou Ji to sit on. Sometimes, in the wild, he would even use it as a shelter to sleep in.
However, Hu Tiao didn't know this. He only felt that these people were using animal skins to pad the ground and wearing shoes. They didn't look ordinary — their chief didn't wear these kinds of shoes, nor did he have them.
"Why are you still carrying things? Just put it down here. Let them move it and trade for salt, "Zhou Ji said.
He used his spiritual power to check. There were more than a hundred people in this tribe, and three of them were as strong as Xiong Ye and Xiong Qi. The others were also quite strong.
However, there were only fifty people in the salt trading team.
At a time like this, some people might be able to escape if they turned and ran, but not everyone would be able to escape. Of course, if he made a move, he could completely avoid harming the people in front of him and let the people from the salt exchange team escape.
But who knew if there was someone as strong as the original owner's father behind these people?
In addition, he also wanted to find out some information …
Zhou Ji used his spiritual power to observe the situation in the tribe. At the same time, he used his energy to secretly cut the rope that tied Niu Er up with the animal skins and the centipede shell.
These things weren't afraid of the rain, so they weren't wrapped up. Instead, they were tied up with a rope. After he did this, they fell to the ground.
Hu Tiao was really shocked this time.
What did he see?
The centipede shell, the dinosaur's spine, the crocodile's skin … These were prey that even the Giant Tiger Tribe didn't dare to provoke!
How could the big bear tribe get so many of them?
When the big bear tribe came to trade for salt, they didn't bring these things!
Was the big bear tribe actually much more powerful than what they knew?
"I heard that you don't have much salt left. These should be enough to trade for some? If not, there's still something else. " Zhou Ji sat on the chair and complained, "So troublesome. For such a small matter, you can just find a few people, but father actually asked me to do it …"
Xiong Qi and the others were confused — what was Zhou Ji talking about? His father … was the person who took Shi Li away? Didn't he run away?
Zhou Ji used his spiritual power to observe the situation in the Giant Tiger Tribe, and Hu Tiao also wanted to find out about the big bear tribe … Hu Tiao said, "What else do you have?"
"Dirt eggs," Zhou Ji said, motioning for Xiong Qi to take out the dirt eggs.
Xiong Qi did as he was told and took out the big dirt egg that the priest had chosen — if they were going to trade for salt, they had to bring something good.
Hu Tiao was shocked again.
The Giant Tiger Tribe also ate dirt eggs, but he had never seen such a big one before!
Where did the big bear tribe get this?
Could it be that the big bear tribe was actually very rich?
"Are you here to trade for salt?" Hu Tiao asked.
"Not just to trade for salt. My father asked me to go to the Green Mountain Tribe to check on the situation. The Giant Tiger Tribe killed our people, so my father wants to exterminate them," Zhou Ji said with a relaxed expression, as if exterminating the Giant Tiger Tribe was a small matter.
His spiritual power had been enveloping the tribe in front of him, listening to the conversation of the people inside. After they arrived, the people in the tribe started discussing about exterminating the big bear tribe.
Zhou Ji directly said that he wanted to exterminate the Giant Tiger Tribe to scare them.
Hearing this, Hu Tiao's face darkened.
Xiong Qi, on the other hand, was shocked and overjoyed. "Really?" Zhou Ji's father wanted to exterminate the Giant Tiger Tribe? This was good news!
