The two continued to move forward, meeting many warriors or ordinary people from the Red Ant tribe along the way, but no one came to question them.
Soon, they reached the center of the red ant tribe's residential area and saw a tall and majestic building that was completely different from other houses.
After Qie Ye came here, his eyes became proud and his chin was raised higher.
"Did you see the house as big as a mountain in front of you? It was built with the shell of a large tribal totem god. The shamans and leaders of our red ant tribe live in it."
Jiang Xuan looked towards the building and saw a turtle shell as huge as a mountain standing there quietly.
The surface of the turtle shell has been covered with moss and vines, but it is still as hard as iron without any cracks.
Under the turtle shell, the red ant tribe built a large number of ant nest-like houses inside. The huge turtle shells sheltered them from wind and rain. These houses were very safe.
Jiang Xuan understood that this turtle shell should be the remains of the deceased old turtle god that the Mountain Turtle Tribe had been thinking about for countless years.
The turtle shell of the old turtle god was actually built into a house by the red ant tribe, and was displayed as an honor by the red ant tribe members.
If the Mountain Turtle Tribe knew all this, I'm afraid they would be so depressed that they would want to vomit blood.
"Come on, I'll take you in and have a look."
Qie Ye was obviously very familiar with this place. He led Jiang Xuan to the house made of giant turtle shells with ease.
The guards in this place are obviously much tighter than outside, and there are soldiers guarding the entrance.
But when these soldiers saw Qie Ye leading Jiang Xuan in, they just looked at Jiang Xuan a few times but did not stop him.
This made Jiang Xuan even more curious, what is the identity of Qie Ye? He could enjoy so many privileges.
Qie Ye didn't care about this and took Jiang Xuan straight into the house inside the big turtle shell.
The houses of the red ant tribe are almost completely imitations of ant nests, except for the addition of wood for support and fixation.
Through the winding corridors, you can see rooms one after another. Some of these rooms are large and some are small. There is a curved corner at the entrance of the room. After entering, you can see the furnishings inside the room.
The advantage of building it this way is that the room has greater privacy. As long as others don't walk into the room, they won't know what is going on inside.
Some rooms are even equipped with fence-like wooden doors so that others cannot enter or exit at will.
Jiang Xuan followed Qie Ye, looking at these strange buildings as he walked, and occasionally looking up at the huge turtle shell on the roof.
Not long after, Qie Ye took him to a room inside.
"Come in, this is where I live."
Qie Ye opened the fence-like wooden door and walked in first.
After Jiang Xuan also entered, Qie Ye closed the wooden door again.
After Jiang Xuan entered, he looked around.
The furnishings of Qie Ye's room were relatively simple, with only a low bed, some weapons and decorations hanging on the walls, and food piled in the corner of the room.
Jiang Xuan also noticed that there was no fire pit in this room, so he asked about it.
"Qie Ye, why is there no fire pit here?"
"The Ant God doesn't like fire, so there are no fire pits in the rooms of our ant tribe."
Jiang Xuan asked curiously: "How to eat animal meat? Eat it raw?"
"Of course not. There is a special place for roasting and cooking meat in the open space outside. Once it is cooked, it can be distributed to the tribesmen."
"So that's it."
Jiang Xuan suddenly felt a little lucky, because Shen Teng didn't like fire either, but the people of the Teng tribe could light fires at will in the house or yard.
If you are like the red ant tribe, you have to find a special place to even make a fire, which is quite troublesome.
Qie Ye took out a round ball from the animal skin bag in the corner, placed it in front of Jiang Xuan, and said: "This is the round ball at the root of the big mushroom. We call it a cone."
Qie Ye took out a stone knife and cut the cones open like a watermelon, revealing the thick pulp inside.
The flesh of this fruit is milky white, and there is a sweet smell after cutting it.
"Taste it."
Qie Ye handed a piece of cone to Jiang Xuan and picked up a piece himself to eat.
Jiang Xuan was not polite and just picked it up and started chewing it.
After taking a few bites, Jiang Xuan discovered that the taste of this thing was a bit like cantaloupe, with a heavier sweetness and a special smell.
Of course, the smell is within acceptable limits.
The two of them finished the entire cone in no time. Jiang Xuan still felt a little unfinished, but it was too late for Qie Ye to take out the second cone.
Because at this moment, a middle-aged man walked in from outside with a dark face.
"Cut leaves!"
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and roared like an angry red ant, baring his teeth and claws!
Qie Ye's expression changed, and he immediately stood up and stared at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Xuan, then at the remaining cone residue, and suddenly he became even more angry.
"Qie Ye, how can you bring outsiders here casually? Do you want to piss me off to death?"
As he said that, the middle-aged man raised his palm.
The middle-aged man's words and his actions seemed to sting the sore spot of Qie Ye, and the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy was instantly stricken.
Qie Ye strode up to the middle-aged man, stretched his face in front of him, gritted his teeth and said: "You beat me, I will send it to you to beat you. Anyway, I have beaten you so many times before, this time is not bad!"
"You...you..."
The middle-aged man was so angry that his palms were trembling, but he didn't hit him.
"What, you can't do it anymore? Let me help you!"
"Crack!"
Qie Ye suddenly slapped himself, the slap was very hard, and a red mark immediately appeared on his face.
The middle-aged man obviously didn't expect Qie Ye to hit himself. For a moment, he didn't know how to deal with it.
"Crack!"
Kiriye stared at him and slapped himself again with a sarcastic face, causing the other half of his face to become swollen.
When Qie Ye was about to slap him for the third time, the middle-aged man roared: "That's enough!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "What? You think I didn't hit you hard enough? Or do you do it yourself?"
Qie Ye stretched out his face again, his eyes were very cold.
The middle-aged man looked at Qie Ye and then glanced at Jiang Xuan. He felt that he was holding back a fire in his heart but could not release it. Finally, he waved his hand and turned away with a dark face.
During this process, Jiang Xuan, as an outsider, could only remain silent.
He found that the animal skin clothing worn by the middle-aged man and the accessories around his neck were much better than cutting leaves. Even the short knife hanging on his waist was polished with high-quality stone and even had some carvings on it.
pattern.
The most important thing is that he saw seven warrior patterns on the middle-aged man's face, which showed that he was a very powerful seven-color warrior!
Based on this information, Jiang Xuan has roughly guessed the identity of this middle-aged man.
After the middle-aged man left, Qieye turned around, his face was clearly swollen, but he still looked relaxed and said: "Don't worry about him, he doesn't dare to do anything to me."
Jiang Xuan couldn't help but ask: "Who is he?"
Qie Ye replied casually: "He is my father, the leader of the red ant tribe."
"Then how did you...do it like this?"
Qieye laughed at himself and said, "Because I don't follow the rules. In his eyes, I am a shame and will only cause trouble."
Jiang Xuan asked again: "Does your red ant tribe have many rules?"
"So many, so many that it's suffocating."
Qie Ye said: "You must eat on time. Before that time, no matter whether you are hungry or not, you cannot eat."
"Go to bed on time and get up on time. No one cares whether you want to sleep or not."
"You should walk in an orderly queue. If you accidentally go astray, someone will immediately blame you, even within the tribe."
…
Qie Ye told Jiang Xuan a lot of the rules of the red ant tribe. Just listening to them made Jiang Xuan feel his scalp numb.
According to Qie Ye's description, the people of the red ant tribe live no different from those giant red ants.
A boy of Qie Ye's age is in the rebellious phase of his life. He likes to show off, prove himself, and not follow the rules.
He couldn't stand the constraints of these rules, so he desperately tried to break free and made a series of actions that were very weird and unacceptable to others.
He became a bad boy in the eyes of the Red Ant tribe.
In fact, although Qieye always did things that seemed outrageous to others, he never did anything that harmed the interests of the tribe, and he never made any mistakes when he went hunting.
Of course, if a person leaves an unreliable impression on others, people will subconsciously magnify his shortcomings and ignore his advantages.
No matter what this person does, it will be difficult to change this unreliable image.
"Let's go, I'll take you to visit other places."
It seemed that the room was a little depressing, so Qie Ye wanted to get some fresh air outside.
However, the young man was so proud that before leaving the room, Qie Ye specially applied a green concoction on his face.
This concoction was very effective in reducing swelling. After a while, Qie Ye's face returned to normal.
Afterwards, I washed my face with cut leaves and water, and quickly drew totem lines on my face.
Tribal people draw totem patterns almost every day. They are so familiar with the painting method that they can do it well without the help of a mirror or other people.
After doing this, Qie Ye took Jiang Xuan and walked outside. His face returned to the same unreliable expression as a streetwalker, and he didn't even walk in a straight line.
When Jiang Xuan and Qie Ye walked together, they not only endured the vigilant and scrutinizing gazes of the Red Ant tribe members, but also the contemptuous gazes.
This feeling is like going shopping with a spirited guy with colorfully dyed hair.
But Jiang Xuan didn't care. He wouldn't stay in the Red Ant Tribe for long anyway. If he was despised, just despise him.
Qie Ye continued to take Jiang Xuan for a stroll in the red ant tribe's residential area. Even if Jiang Xuan's memory had improved, he could not remember those winding paths.
Perhaps, only the people of the red ant tribe who grew up here can remember it.
While wandering around with Qie Ye, Jiang Xuan also noticed a detail.
Even if cutting leaves seems unreliable, it is actually just a little bit out of line.
He only took Jiang Xuan to visit unimportant places. He would not take Jiang Xuan to the really important places in the Red Ant Tribe.
Jiang Xuan walked around the Red Ant Tribe for a while and got a rough impression of the Red Ant Tribe.
The members of the red ant tribe are all dark and thin, malnourished, and their complexions are much worse than those of the crocodile tribe.
The people of the Red Ant Tribe do not live the life that a powerful and powerful tribe should at all.
Those giant red ants, on the other hand, grew very fat one by one.
This is a very weird thing.
Because the red ant tribe has plundered almost all the supplies nearby, not even tourists can survive.
Logically speaking, their lives should be relatively prosperous.
Jiang Xuan kept this matter in his mind, hoping to find the answer later.
"Cut leaves, cut leaves!"
Just as Qie Ye and Jiang Xuan continued to visit the huge residential complex of the Red Ant Tribe, two soldiers hurried over, looking very anxious.
"What do you want from me?"
Qie Ye still had the same look on his face that he wanted to be beaten. He thought it was the leader's father who finally couldn't bear it any longer and sent two men to capture him.
However, the two soldiers shouted anxiously: "Hurry, go back quickly."
"What happened?"
Kiriye realized something was wrong and finally put away his expression of wanting to be beaten.
"Elder, Elder is dying."
"What?"
Qie Ye's face changed drastically, he opened his legs and ran back immediately in panic.
The two warriors hurriedly invited Jiang Xuan out of the Red Ant Tribe, not letting him stay inside at all.
Jiang Xuan was forced to leave the territory of the Red Ant Tribe. He watched from a distance as the Red Ant Tribe soldiers blocked all entrances. He had a vague guess in his heart, but he was not sure.
In the red ant tribe, in a room inside the giant turtle shell, an old man's life is about to come to an end.
He looked at the familiar room and the many people in the room, and the past scenes came to his mind, and his eyes were full of vicissitudes of life.
The red ant tribe shaman stood in front of him and fed him some precious witch medicine, but it could only delay his death and could not really save his life.
"Witch, save him..."
The leader of the red ant tribe knelt down in front of the witch with a "pop" sound. He was a warrior of seven colors, a very tough man on weekdays, but at this moment he showed his fragile side, and tears fell down from his eyes.
Because the person lying on the bed was not only the elder and previous leader of the Red Ant tribe, but also his father.
The red ant tribe witch shook his head and said: "When people come, they always have to leave. I can only use witch medicine to delay the process so that the elders have time to say goodbye to you."
After the leader heard this, he completely collapsed and knelt on the ground, sobbing.
After taking the witch medicine, the elder's face became rosy and he looked a little energetic.
However, Wu knew very well that this was just a flashback, and the elder would die soon.
"Gu Lili, get up."
With the help of others, the elder sat up with difficulty.
Bone Strength is the name of the leader of the Red Ant Tribe, but there are too few people who can call him by his first name.
Upon hearing his father's voice, the leader immediately got up and stepped forward to support the elder.
The elder asked feebly: "Has Qie Ye come back?"
"Dad, I sent someone out to look for him. He will be back soon. When he comes back, I will break his legs!"
That's all in normal times, but now that the elders are about to die, Qie Ye is still wandering outside. This makes Gu Li feel deeply disappointed and at the same time, he is simply furious.
The elder waved his hand with difficulty and said: "Gu Li, Qie Ye is a good boy. Don't be too harsh on him."
Do good kids do shady things all day long?
Gu Li did not agree with the elder's words, but at this time, it was impossible for him to refute the elder and could only remain silent.
