Jiang Xuan and Qie Ye chatted wordlessly. Qie Ye's face was always heavy and he had little desire to speak.
Therefore, when the two of them walked outside the trading area, they naturally separated.
Qie Ye took the warriors back to the Red Ant Tribe, while Jiang Xuan recalled the Zi Diao Tangyuan and prepared to leave the Black Teeth Tribe and visit the Spider Tribe.
It wasn't until Qie Ye and others disappeared into the vast forest that Jiang Xuan suddenly realized a problem: "That's wrong, why didn't they bring the giant ants with them?"
Almost every tribe with animals as their totems has its own tribe of war beasts, such as the crocodile of the Crocodile tribe, the black-toothed bird of the Black-tooth tribe, the spider of the Spider tribe, etc.
The red ant tribe naturally has its own fighting beast, which is a large number of giant ants.
Under normal circumstances, when tribal warriors travel far away, they will try their best to take their war beasts with them. On the one hand, they can ride the war beasts on the road, or let the war beasts carry some luggage and items.
On the other hand, war beasts often have strong combat power or some special abilities. When warriors encounter danger or fight, they can often be of great help and even save lives.
The giant ants of the red ant tribe are naturally very powerful in combat, and their numbers are extremely large, enough for each clan member to own one.
However, the strange thing is that Qie Ye brought so many soldiers with him, but Jiang Xuan didn't even see a giant ant, and he only entered the forest on foot.
"What on earth is going on?"
Jiang Xuan thought back to what he said before cutting leaves, and he vaguely felt that some major changes must have happened within the ant tribe, but he had no way of knowing what they were.
"Let Feng Cao come over as soon as possible. It's too uncomfortable to live with a black eye like this."
"Boom!"
The huge dumpling fell to the ground, and its huge claws left two rows of deep holes on the ground.
Jiang Xuan climbed up easily along the rope on Tangyuan's back, then patted its gorgeous purple feathers: "Let's go to the Spider Tribe."
"Huhu..."
Tangyuan took a few steps, then flapped its wings and suddenly flew up, causing a gust of wind to rise on the ground.
"Eh..."
When it flew into the air and made a sharp cry, all the nearby birds fearfully landed on the trees or on the ground, and the war beasts that followed the warriors from various tribes to trade also all crawled on the ground.
Unknowingly, Tangyuan has grown into a true overlord of the sky, possessing extremely powerful strength and powerful deterrence. He is no longer the little meaty dumpling he was before.
……
Southern Wilderness, Ant Tribe, Giant Ant Nest Entrance.
"May your souls accompany the Red Ant God forever..."
The ant tribe shaman stood in front of a row of corpses. After reciting this sentence, he knelt down piously in the direction of the ant nest.
Soon, dozens of giant red ants came over in a queue, carrying all the corpses like food, and then lined up neatly and walked deep into the ant nest.
Most of the red ant tribe members in front of the ant nest have enthusiastic eyes, including the relatives of the deceased. They don't think there is anything wrong with this. They even think that it is an honor and happiness to enter the ant nest after death.
However, the very few people who know the truth feel very angry and desperate.
For example, the leader of the ant tribe, and Qie Ye who just returned to the tribe.
The difference is that the leader of the ant tribe hides his thoughts very well. On the surface, he seems even more fanatical than the ordinary tribesmen.
However, because of his young age, Qie Ye could not completely hide his emotions, so he could only lower his head as much as possible to prevent others from seeing his expression clearly.
After the ceremony, Qie Ye walked outside the tribe without saying a word. He walked slowly at first, then gradually walked faster and faster, until he started running wildly.
Many members of the red ant tribe on the road were very dissatisfied with this, because in the red ant tribe, rules are very important and they must walk in a neat line. Running wildly alone like this is simply like heresy.
Only the leader Gu Li knew why Qie Ye behaved like this. He was worried that Qie Ye would do something stupid, so he followed quickly.
"Shashasha..."
Qie Ye ran quickly in the forest. Even though he met people from the same tribe along the way, he didn't say hello.
He ran all the way and ran for a long time. Finally, he was far away from the tribe and ran to a small hillside. He stood in front of a small earth bag that was obviously piled up manually, breathing heavily.
This little earth bag is actually a grave, and buried inside is the elder of the ant tribe, Qie Ye’s grandfather.
Two years ago, when the elder was about to die, he told Qie Ye and Gu Li the secret of how the red ant queen occupied the magpie nest, killed the black ant god, and took over the ant tribe.
After the elder died, Qie Ye and Gu Li did not want the elder's body to become food for giant ants, so they buried him here.
After the death of the elder, Qieye gradually transformed from the rebellious boy he was before into a brave warrior.
He trained his fighting ability desperately, increased his strength, and worked hard to overthrow the rule of the Red Ant God.
However, compared with a large tribal totem god, a warrior like him is still too weak even if he works hard for ten or twenty years.
Seeing that the number of members of the ant tribe is getting smaller and smaller, but the number of giant red ants is increasing, the harder Ye Qiu works, the more desperate he feels.
Today, he once again witnessed his dead tribesmen becoming food for giant ants, but he was completely powerless and did not even dare to express his anger too obviously. How sad?
If this continues, when the red giant ants reproduce enough, sooner or later one day, the red ant god will no longer need the members of the ant tribe, and everyone in the ant tribe will become food for those red giant ants!
"What should I do..."
"Bang!"
Qieye knelt in front of his grandfather's grave, hitting the ground with his fists, and his emotions suddenly collapsed.
"Alas..."
At this moment, a big hand gently patted Qie Ye's shoulder, accompanied by a helpless sigh.
Although Qieye was in a state of collapse, his instinct as a warrior was still there. When he felt someone touching him, he immediately grabbed the spear beside him and turned to look at the person.

He saw a tall figure and a familiar face, that was his father.
Qieye put down his spear again, lay on the ground and cried bitterly, venting the heavy pressure in his heart.
Gu Li patted his shoulder gently and opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.
Although Qieye looks like a relatively powerful four-color warrior, he is just a child after all...
After a while, Qie Ye finally released the emotions he had suppressed during this period.
He opened his red eyes, looked back at Gu Li, and said in a hoarse voice: "Father, are we going to watch those giant ants eat our people one by one?"
Gu Li sighed: "Qie Ye, you are too hasty. If this was so easy to do, the previous leaders would have done it long ago. Do we still have to wait until today? We must wait for a suitable opportunity."
Qie Ye stared at him unwillingly: "How long do we have to wait?"
Gu Li looked into the distance with very deep eyes: "I don't know, maybe soon, maybe we won't be able to wait until the day we die."
"But I don't want to wait any longer!"
"You have to wait if you don't want to!" Gu Li said decisively: "The tribe is not your tribe alone. We have many, many tribesmen. Once the matter is exposed, everyone will die!"
Qieye wanted to refute, but looking at his father's firm eyes, he found that he couldn't refute at all.
Yes, there are so many tribesmen in the tribe. Although it will be a bit miserable to maintain the status quo, at least most people can survive. Once they break up with the red ant god, it is hard to say how many people will survive.
Thinking of this, Qie Ye felt even more depressed inside. This feeling of powerlessness made people want to go crazy.
Guli patted Kiriye's shoulder again and said slowly: "Be patient, bear with me a little longer, I have a hunch that the opportunity will definitely come, believe me."
Qie Ye nodded feebly. Although he knew that premonitions were very unreliable, at this time, besides trusting his father, was there any other choice?
