The melodious horn sounded, and all the ships on the Feiyu River began to slow down, and the turtles behind them also hurriedly slowed down.
Some of the stupider giant frogs did not slow down in time and bumped into the tail of the mountain turtle in front of them. The turtle turned back and glared angrily, and the giant frog was frightened and quickly backed away.
On the first big ship, Jing Jie pointed to a sandbank ahead and said to Shi Loach: "In front is the Crocodile Tribe. The first time the leader came to the middle, he settled on the Crocodile Tribe. We often do business with the Crocodile Tribe.
"
Stone Loach followed Nepeta's fingers and looked ahead, only to see a huge sandbar appearing in front of it, blocking the front of the river, forcing the river's flow to be divided into two. One river continued to rush to the south, and the other to the southwest.
It flows in any direction, and I don’t know where it goes.
"The Crocodile Tribe!"
Shi Loach looked at the green sandbank in front of him and felt a little excited, because this was the first large tribe in central China he had seen.
Jing Jie added: "With so many people passing by the Crocodile Tribe's territory, they must go over and say hello to them. The fleet will stay here to rest. The trading team will be responsible for going to the Crocodile Tribe to do transactions. The leader of the Stone Loach and I will go in to meet them.
The leader of the crocodile tribe."
Shi Loach nodded. He was not very familiar with the situation here. Having Jie Jie leading him along would save a lot of trouble.
Soon, Nepeta prepared some gifts and got off the boat with Stone Loach.
The Crocodile Tribe and the Vine Tribe were old acquaintances. After they got off the boat, a group of soldiers from the Crocodile Tribe came over with a big crocodile and sent them to the Crocodile Tribe's residence.
It was the first time for Stone Loach to ride on a big crocodile, but he behaved very calmly and was not at all afraid of this huge and extremely fierce overlord in the water.
Stone Loach's performance made the Crocodile Tribe warrior who led the way secretly nod. Although the leader of the Vine Tribe looked very young, he was powerful and his courage was much better than ordinary people.
After Nepeta and Stone Loach left, the Vine Tribe warriors in the fleet who were specifically responsible for trading methodically moved all kinds of goods out of the cabin and transported them to the Crocodile Tribe's trading area in small boats for trading.
They are already familiar with these tasks, and the procedures are very standardized. Even if Jing Jie and Shi Loach are not present, nothing will go wrong.
…
In the crocodile tribe, Qingye heard the familiar sound of the horn and hurried down from the stilted building where he lived.
She searched the sky for a moment, but was soon disappointed because she did not see the huge purple eagle, nor did she hear its unique chirping sound, which meant that the person she wanted to see was not there.
Come.
"Qingye, Qingye..."
At this moment, a young warrior from the crocodile tribe shouted and ran this way, like a bee seeing nectar, with an extremely excited expression on his face.
Qingye frowned slightly, then turned around and left, completely ignoring the young soldier's shouts.
The young warrior didn't care. He saw the crocodile tribe's totem pattern on his face flashing away. His running speed increased instantly. In the blink of an eye, he ran in front of Qingye and stopped in front of her.
Qingye's brows furrowed even more tightly: "Get out of the way!"
"No!"
The young warrior opened his arms and looked at Qingye proudly.
Little did he know that his actions would leave two words in Qingye's heart: "Childish."
Qingye stood there and said slightly dissatisfied: "Heijia, what exactly do you want to do?"
Hei Jia immediately reached into the animal skin bag hanging at his waist and dug it out, saying as he did so: "I want to give you something."
However, before he could take out the things, Qingye had already walked past him: "I don't need anything, you can give it to someone else."
Heijia's face suddenly froze, feeling embarrassed at first, then aggrieved and angry.
He turned around and glared at Qingye's back: "Is that leader of the Vine Tribe so unforgettable to you? You haven't even looked at me since he appeared!"
Qingye turned around, looked at him seriously, nodded and said, "Yes!"
A light word, but it was like a stone knife, piercing Hei Jia's heart hard, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Black Armor became even more angry. The power of the totem in his body was running involuntarily, and his face was quickly covered with totem patterns. The four warrior patterns of different colors were particularly conspicuous.
What's even more special is his pupils. When the power of the totem reaches its peak, his pupils gradually turn into yellow-brown vertical pupils, which are as breathtaking as the eyes of a crocodile.
The black armor roared: "Qingye! I am the best hunter of the Crocodile Tribe, the youngest five-color warrior, and the candidate for the next leader. In what way am I inferior to that boy from the Vine Tribe?"
Qingye said calmly: "He will never get angry like you because of a trivial matter, nor will he show off his power to a woman casually."
After Qingye finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Heijia alone standing there, with the expression on his face constantly changing, which was extremely wonderful.
After a while, a Crocodile tribe warrior hurried over: "Heijia, two leaders from the Teng tribe have come. The leader asked you to come over and entertain them together."
As soon as Heijia heard the words "vine tribe", he instinctively felt disgusted, but the leader asked him to go over, and he did not dare to refuse.
Heijia waved his hand impatiently and said, "I know, I'll be there in a minute."
After the warrior left, Heijia took a few deep breaths and calmed down. The totem power in his body gradually stopped surging, the glowing totem lines on his face faded, and his pupils turned into normal round shapes.
On the other side, Nepeta and Stone Loach were invited into the tallest stilted building in the Crocodile Tribe. Along with them, there were more than a dozen Vine Tribe warriors carrying various gifts.
The leader of the Crocodile Tribe, Ci Mu, and the Shaman of the Crocodile Tribe were already waiting for them by the fire pond.
When Jing Jie and Shi Loach came in, he immediately stood up and greeted them with a big smile: "Hahaha, leader Jing Jie, long time no see!"
Jing Jie generously hugged Ci Mu, then pointed at Shi Loach and said, "Chief Ci Mu, let me introduce to you. This is the leader of the second hunting team of our Teng tribe, Shi Loach."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Ci Mu looked at Shi Loach's outfit and the five warrior patterns on his face, and was secretly surprised. Such a young five-color warrior, even in the middle
It's also rare and has amazing potential.
Although he was surprised in his heart, Cimu remained calm on the surface, and even hugged Stone Loach enthusiastically. Then he invited the two of them to the fire pit and greeted the shaman of the Crocodile tribe.
The witch's status is extremely high. Unless Jiang Xuan or Chi Shao comes over, he will not greet them personally.
After the two parties sat down by the firepit, Jing Jie waved and asked the Vine Tribe warriors who came over to carry the gifts in baskets and opened the extremely well-sealed lids.
Nepeta walked to the largest rectangular wooden basket, opened the soft hay covering it, and carefully took out a special pottery inside.
This is a crocodile pottery figurine, about one meter long. The crocodile's mouth, which is densely packed with fangs, and its strong claws and tail are all carved lifelike. It is even painted in color. At first glance, it looks like a real crocodile.
.
This crocodile pottery figurine is the latest product of the Vine Tribe’s pottery workshop, and it is also a tailor-made gift for the Crocodile Tribe.
Its process is very complicated. You need to knead a rough embryo first, then ask the best craftsman to carve it, dry it in the shade and then fire it. The firing also has high temperature requirements, and it will fail if you are not careful.
After the firing was successful, in order to achieve the best viewing effect, the Vine Tribe specially used mineral pigments to color the entire body of the crocodile pottery figurine, making it look lifelike and even the subtle lines in the eyes were clear.
This crocodile pottery figurine is not only complicated in firing process, but also has a very low success rate, making it very precious.
When Jingjie took out this lifelike colorful crocodile pottery figurine, all the Crocodile Tribe people present were breathing rapidly. Even the Crocodile Tribe shaman stood up with a look of disbelief on his face.
Heijia, who had just come in from the door, even suppressed his anger in an instant. His eyes were completely attracted by the colorful crocodile pottery figurines, and his mouth opened wide without even realizing it.
Nepeta was very satisfied with the performance of the Crocodile Tribe people. In fact, when this colorful crocodile pottery figurine appeared in front of him, his performance was no better than that of the Crocodile Tribe people.
If the Crocodile Tribe hadn't been crucial to the Vine Tribe's entry into the central part of the Southern Wilderness, he would have been reluctant to give them such a precious gift.
Nepeta opened his mouth at the right time and said: "Chief of Thornwood, Shaman of the Crocodile Tribe, this colorful crocodile pottery figurine is a gift specially made by our Vine Tribe for the Crocodile Tribe. It represents the friendship between our two tribes. I hope you like it."
Later, Jing Jie slowly handed the colorful crocodile pottery figurine to Ci Mu, the leader of the crocodile tribe.
When Ci Mu took the crocodile pottery figurine, his hands were trembling slightly, and he even used the power of the totem, for fear of accidentally breaking this extremely precious gift.
Even the shaman of the crocodile tribe stepped forward regardless of the appearance, stretched out a trembling hand close to the crocodile pottery figurine, lightly touched the tail, and then quickly retracted his hand for fear of damaging it.
The other warriors of the Crocodile Tribe were also itching. If it weren't for the majesty of the leader and the shaman, they would have swarmed up to see and touch this treasure up close.
