The thief was very patient and waited until the tribesman walked to a stall and was attracted by the goods on the stall before he suddenly took action.
"Stab it..."
The stone in the thief's hand was extremely sharp. He gently grabbed the animal skin bag with one hand and held the stone with the other. He easily made a gap in the animal skin bag, and then quickly took something from the gap.
.
The location chosen by the thief was very tricky, and the hole he made was not large. The contents of the animal skin bag would not fall out immediately, so the tribesman would not notice it at all for a while.
And the thief, after stealing something, immediately got into the crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Xuan watched the whole process and was amazed by the timing and speed of the thief's attack, as well as the sharpness of the stone in his hand.
Of course, this does not mean that he will appreciate this behavior.
When Jiang Xuan walked up to the stolen tribesman, he pretended to be surprised and said loudly: "Hey, why did your animal skin bag have a big hole?"
"Where?"
The tribesman hurriedly turned around and put down the animal skin bag, and found that there was indeed a big hole in the animal skin bag, and it was obviously made artificially.
The tribesman's face changed drastically and he shouted loudly: "Who did this? Who did this!"
Then, he checked the contents of the animal skin bag and found that a relatively precious cargo was missing, and his anger suddenly rose.
"Whoever did it, come forward!"
He picked up the spear at hand and stared at everyone around him angrily, looking at everyone as if they were thieves.
There were more and more people watching, and everyone was talking about it, but they all just wanted to watch the fun.
Wu Yu's face turned dark, especially after he had just shown off the power of the Black Tooth Tribe to Jiang Xuan, and in the blink of an eye he encountered someone having something stolen in the trading area. This was like a big slap in the face!
"let me see!"
Wu Yu stepped forward to check the scratched animal skin bag, gritted his teeth and said: "They are from the Rat Tribe!"
Obviously, this is not the first time Karasuba has encountered this kind of thing.
At this time, everyone's attention was focused on the stolen tribesman and Karasuba, but unexpectedly, several people among the onlookers started to attack again.
Jiang Xuan is a five-color warrior and has eaten many magical plant fruits. His vision and five senses are far beyond ordinary people.
Therefore, he soon noticed that some people pretended to be watching the fun, squeezed into the crowd, then took out the sharp stone blades and began to cut the bags quickly.
This time, Jiang Xuan was not going to sit idly by, so he quietly kicked Karasuba's butt and signaled him with his eyes that the thief was here again.
Wu Yu is also a very shrewd person. He understood Jiang Xuan's expression as soon as he saw it, so he stood up first, then quietly moved a few steps. After reaching a suitable position, he suddenly pounced towards the crowd.
The thieves who were cutting the bags never expected that they would be discovered so soon, but they were extremely vigilant. When they saw Karasuba turning around, they immediately gave up cutting the bags and ran away.
"Get him!"
Wu Yu didn't expect the thief to be so slippery and catch him suddenly, so he yelled angrily.
In the trading area, the warriors of the Black Tooth Tribe rushed towards the thief one after another, each one like a wolf or a tiger.
The thief fled in a hurry, darting around inside the trading area, and finally ran to the edge of the trading area and got into a pile of firewood.
The warriors of the Black Tooth tribe poked the firewood pile with their spears, but no one was hit. So they moved the firewood away, only to find that there was a deep earth hole under the firewood pile.
The thief had long since escaped along the dirt hole.
When Wu Yu, Jiang Xuan and others ran over, what they saw was a dark earth cave and the Black Tooth Tribe warriors who were at a loss next to the earth cave.
Karasuba's face suddenly turned darker, and he cursed angrily: "There are so many people, but they can't catch a mouse. They are trash, they are all trash!"
The warriors of the Black Tooth Tribe lowered their heads in shame, and no one dared to speak back.
Jiang Xuan noticed more details, that is, there was more than one thief who had just blended into the crowd of onlookers, but now, these thieves were gone and disappeared very quickly.
In other words, there must be more than just this cave in the Black Tooth Tribe's trading area. Maybe countless passages have been dug underground.
The thief had already escaped, and the crowd watching the excitement naturally stopped watching.
It was at this time that some people who had been circumcised without realizing it began to realize that something was wrong.
"My skin bag is torn!"
"My animal skin bag is also torn!"
"The pottery I just exchanged is missing!"
…
There was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone began to check their skin bags and belongings.
After this inspection, it was discovered that the animal skin bags of six people had been scratched and the valuable items inside had been stolen.
The people who were just watching the excitement started yelling and cursing the next moment, and some even wanted to get into the hole to find the thief to settle the score.
But this was obviously in vain, as the thief had already run away.
Karasuba's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He gritted his teeth and said to the Black Teeth tribe warriors: "Keep your eyes wide open from now on. If you find any rats stealing things, kill them directly and don't give them another chance to escape."
!”
"yes!"
The Black Teeth tribe warriors also felt that their faces were dull and they all held their breath. Next time they met someone who stole something, they would definitely kill them directly.
The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, because everyone was afraid of losing anything again, so they ensured that their goods left the trading area.
Those whose things were stolen can only consider themselves unlucky because no one will compensate them.
After Wu Yu's anger subsided a little, Jiang Xuan asked curiously: "You just said that those who stole things are from the Rat Tribe. What kind of tribe is the Rat Tribe?"
When the Rat Tribe was mentioned, Karasuba became angry again. He gritted his teeth and said, "A dirty tribe that only knows how to hide in the dark, dig holes, and steal things."
"Can you tell me in detail? If I encounter you next time, I can take precautions."
Wu Yu took a deep breath, suppressed his anger a little, and then began to tell Jiang Xuan about the rat tribe.
The Rat Tribe is a small tribe with the mountain rat as its totem. Although its combat power is not strong, it is very good at digging holes.
They also have a unique skill, which is disguise. They can dress up as warriors of any tribe, sneak into that tribe, and then steal.
Throughout the central part of the Southern Wilderness, there were quite a few tribes that they had stolen from, and everyone hated the Rat Tribe.
As the richest tribe, the Black Tooth Tribe is naturally frequented by the Rat Tribe. If it weren't for the Black Tooth Bird God guarding the tribe, these mountain rats might be able to dig into the Black Tooth Tribe's warehouse.
Because of public outrage, several large tribes in the Southern Wilderness encircled and suppressed the Rat Tribe. However, these mountain rats were too slippery, and they escaped several encirclements and suppressions, unable to cause serious damage to the Rat Tribe.
But the effect is there, at least the rat tribe is not so arrogant.
Of course, the lower-key rat tribe means it is harder to catch them. They still appear from time to time and steal things from various tribes, which is quite disgusting.
After listening to Wu Yu's story, Jiang Xuan gained some understanding of the Rat Tribe and became interested in it.
According to Karasuba, the Rat Tribe has stolen so many tribes, and there should be a lot of good stuff inside.
If you can get your hands on the items collected by the Rat Tribe, it will definitely be a huge fortune.
At this time, the Rat Tribe would never have thought that their treasure trove would also be targeted by someone who always liked stealing.
Of course, Jiang Xuan alone cannot accomplish this feat. He needs to wait for the power of the Vine Tribe to enter the central part before he can plan this matter.
Jiang Xuan and Wu Yu walked around the tribe for a while. Jiang Xuan thought that he could not gain anything more from the Black Tooth Tribe, so he said goodbye to Wu Yu.
"Chief Xuan, are you leaving so soon? Please stay a few more days."
Karasuba's polite invitation to stay.
"Please come and stay here next time. I have been away from the Vine Tribe for a long time. I plan to go to another tribe to learn more and then return to the tribe."
"Which tribe does Leader Xuan want to go to?"
"Spider Tribe."
"The Spider Tribe is not close to here. Even a black-toothed bird would have to fly for five or six days. The journey is too far and difficult to find."
"It doesn't matter. If Chief Wu Yu can show me the way, I think I will find the Spider Tribe."
"Well, since Leader Xuan insists on going, I will show you the way."
Wu Yu pointed to the south and told Jiang Xuanzhidao where the tribe was, which tribes they would pass along the way, and some of the more conspicuous landforms.
Jiang Xuan wrote down the tribes he would pass on the road. This was more useful than memorizing the landforms.
As long as he pays attention to the positions of these tribes when flying along the route, the route will not deviate significantly.
Of course, because the journey is too long, it is very difficult to accurately fly to the spider tribe, and it will probably be delayed a lot of time on the way.
Jiang Xuan was also mentally prepared for this. It would be best if he could find the Spider Tribe. If he couldn't find it, he would go to the tribes he met on the road to learn more.
It has been a long time since Jiang Xuan came out this time. He must rush back to the Vine Tribe before spring and cannot stay in the central part for too long.
As for those places and tribes that I have never been to, I will leave them to the future.
"Thank you, Chief Karasuba, for your guidance. Let's say goodbye and see you next time."
"Okay, I'll definitely see you next time."
Jiang Xuan walked to the place where the Black Tooth Tribe stored their mounts, found Tang Yuan, and then left the Black Tooth Tribe with Tang Yuan.
Wu Yu watched Jiang Xuan leave, and then returned to the trading area. He wanted to deal with the holes dug by the Rat Tribe, otherwise they would be used by the Rat Tribe next time.
Jiang Xuan took Tangyuan and walked to the small lake again. According to his usual habits, Jiang Xuan would definitely ride Tangyuan directly away from the Black Tooth Tribe.
This time he felt that the scenery next to the lake was good, so he took a slow walk by the lake to enjoy the scenery.
However, he didn't take a few steps when he felt someone was spying on him.
Jiang Xuan glanced around with the corner of his eyes, but found no one. Even so, he still believed in his intuition, because the intuition of the five-color warrior was relatively reliable.
Who is spying on him?
Jiang Xuan showed no fear and walked forward calmly. He wanted to see what the other party wanted to do.
