Jingjie smiled and stepped forward, patted the stone loach on the back, and praised: "That's a good shot."
Several warriors from the Vine Tribe also had smiles of admiration and admiration on their faces. At the same time, they also felt a sense of pride. In this strange tribe, their waists became straighter.
Different from the shock of the Crocodile Tribe tribesmen and the joy of the Vine Tribe warriors, Shi Loach, the person involved, had a very calm expression, as if he had done something trivial.
However, the calmer the stone loach is, the more humiliated Heijia feels. All the eyes around him are like sharp thorns, which make Heijia feel uncomfortable all over and even lose his mind.
He walked up to Stone Loach with his bow and arrow in hand, gritted his teeth and said, "I underestimated you just now, but shooting trees is not a skill. Do you dare to compete with me in shooting fish?"
Fish shooting is a traditional entertainment project of the crocodile tribe.
Shooting fish can not only obtain food, but also hone your archery skills, which is very popular among the crocodile tribe members.
In fact, shooting fish is a great test of archery skills.
Since light refracts in the water and the position of the fish in the water constantly changes, the power of the wooden arrow shaft will be weakened after entering the water. It is not easy to accurately shoot the fish.
If you are a tribesman who has never caught fish, even if you are a marksman in the forest, you may not be able to shoot fish because the water will cause errors in his judgment.
Heijia desperately wanted to save face. He believed that he would never lose if he competed by shooting fish.
Ci Mu, the leader of the Crocodile Tribe, doesn't think so.
After a long period of trading with the Vine Tribe, and the heavy gift from the Vine Tribe today, Cimu has attached great importance to the relationship with the Vine Tribe, and he does not want to upset the leader of the hunting team of the Vine Tribe because of an entertaining competition.
grudge.
Therefore, Cimu strode to Heijia and stopped him in time: "That's enough. You already lost the competition just now. As a warrior of the Crocodile Tribe, can't you afford to lose?"
"I……"
Heijia opened his mouth, but could not refute the leader's words, but he was really unwilling to admit defeat like this, and felt very uncomfortable for a while.
At this moment, Shi Loach said: "Chief Cimu, since Heijia wants to compete, let's compete again. It just so happens that I am also interested in shooting fish."
The stone loaches had already spoken, and Cimu could no longer stop them. He could only send people to prepare the venue for the fish shooting competition immediately.
Hei Jia clenched his bow and arrow with great excitement. In a field he was familiar with, he was confident of defeating Shi Loach in one fell swoop and regaining the face he had just lost.
What he didn't know was that the Vine Tribe also lived by the river. As archery enthusiasts, not to mention fish, even the dead branches and leaves floating on the river were often used as targets for archery.
"Go to the river!"
Following Cimu's order, the clansmen of the Crocodile Tribe and the warriors of the Teng Tribe walked to the river together. Black Armor was gearing up, planning to show off its skills.
"Crash..."
By the river, dozens of large crocodiles formed an encirclement under the command of the crocodile tribe warriors, driving all the nearby fish into a river bend.
Standing on one of the big crocodiles was Aoba.
She didn't go to watch the competition between Stone Loach and Hei Jia just now, but after hearing that Hei Jia lost the competition and was not convinced, and brought up the subject of shooting fish, her favorability towards Hei Jia became even lower.
If the leader hadn't given the task of driving away the fish, she wouldn't have even thought of coming here.
When the fish in the river were driven into the bay, dozens of large crocodiles blocked the escape path of the fish, and then waited quietly.
Soon, the members of the Crocodile Tribe and the warriors of the Vine Tribe gathered near the river bend, and the number of people was even greater than in the previous competition.
In the river, panicked schools of fish swam back and forth, with splashes of water; on the river bank, the crowds of people watching the show were eagerly anticipating it, and the sound of people was buzzing.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
After the leader Cimu walked to the river, he used the power of the totem to shout, making the noisy crowd gradually quiet down.
Then, he led Heijia and Stone Loach to the best position for shooting fish.
"In this competition, each person shoots ten arrows. Whoever hits the most fish wins. If the number of fish hit is the same, it will be compared to the size of the fish. The person who hits more big fish wins. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Heijia replied loudly. He had already seen Qingye standing on the back of the crocodile, and his mood became more and more excited. In front of his sweetheart, he must win this competition beautifully and feel proud.
Because he wanted to win so much, Heijia couldn't help but use the power of the totem. The crocodile patterns on his face and body quickly appeared, and his eyes gradually turned into vertical pupils. The aura of the five-color warrior was unabashedly revealed.
Shi Loach also nodded, but his face was as calm as ever, as steady as a mountain, in sharp contrast to Hei Jia.
The performance of both of them was noticed by Ci Mu. He was an experienced hunter. Hei Jia could tell at a glance that Hei Jia was too anxious and his mentality was far less calm than Shi Loach's.
A truly good hunter must remain calm and collected at all times, especially when facing fierce beasts. If you are not careful, you will get caught in it.
Black Armor's performance is also very good when hunting, otherwise he would not be considered the best hunter of the younger generation of the crocodile tribe.
But today when facing Shi Loach, Heijia obviously lost his calmness and lost his mentality.
Cimu wanted to remind him, but when he saw his vertical pupils appeared and he was obviously ready to fight, he could only sigh secretly in his heart and pray that he would perform better given the advantageous location.
In order to prevent the fish from escaping after being shot, Cimu had people quench poison on the arrows of Heijia and Stone Loach.
This poison is specifically targeted at fish. After being shot, the fish will be paralyzed and float to the surface automatically.
After everything was ready, Cimu said to the two of them: "There are more fish in the river. This time, there is no order of priority. Let's start."
"call out!"
As soon as Cimu finished speaking, the totem power in Heijia's body reached its peak, and he couldn't wait to shoot an arrow.
"Wow..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! A big fish was penetrated from the back by a black-armored arrow. It struggled in the water for a moment, and quickly surfaced after being poisoned.
"good!"
The people of the Crocodile Tribe cheered one after another, and the eyes of many girls were even more brilliant.
"call out!"
At this moment, Shi Loach's arrow also shot out, and the totem pattern of the vine tribe appeared on his body, and his whole body seemed to be wearing a green vine armor, glowing slightly green.
"puff!"
The stone arrowhead flashing with cold light rotated rapidly, and then accurately penetrated the belly of a big fish.
The big fish struggled for a moment, then floated up with the arrow.
"good!"
The warriors of the Vine Tribe also cheered. Although they were relatively small in number, their momentum was not weak.
When Heijia saw that the first arrow of the stone loach hit the big fish, he immediately understood that the people of the Teng tribe were familiar with shooting fish, and he suddenly felt a little anxious.
He gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down. Then he used the power of the totem crazily, selected the target in the river, and shot arrow after arrow.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Under the continuous arrows of Heijia and Stone Loach, one big fish after another soon appeared on the river, and the cheers on the river bank almost never stopped.
After the two men shot their ten arrows, there were already twenty fish floating on the river. In other words, all the arrows shot by Heijia and Stone Loach hit the target, and none of them missed.
The accuracy of this kind of archery is jaw-dropping.
Cimu waved his hand and said to the crocodile tribe warriors on the river: "Catch all the fish!"
"yes!"
The crocodile tribe warriors on the river immediately rode crocodiles over there, picked up all the twenty fish they had shot, and placed them on the shore.
Later, according to the different marks on the arrow shafts, someone separated the fish shot by the black armor and the stone loach and arranged them on both sides.
Cimu personally stepped forward to count, and after counting, he announced: "Heijia shot five large fish, three medium-sized fish, and two small fish. The leader of the stone loach of the Teng tribe shot five large fish and five medium-sized fish."
"In this competition, the Stone Loach leader of the Vine Tribe wins!"
After hearing what Cimu said, the warriors of the Teng tribe cheered again, while the Crocodile tribe looked at each other in silence.
The totem patterns on the black armor quickly dissipated as if struck by lightning, and the hand holding the bow and arrow trembled slightly.
Cimu walked to Heijia, patted his shoulder and said: "There is no shame in losing to the leader of the big tribe. Just go back and continue practicing. You are still young. You will have many opportunities to win back in the future."
But at this time, Heijia felt his head was "buzzing" and he couldn't hear anything. Especially when he saw Qingye turning around and leaving on the big crocodile, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
He walked up to Shi Loach stiffly and asked in a trembling voice: "You... how did you do that..."
Shi Loach said calmly: "Practice every day."
Three simple words, but it contains countless days and nights of hard work, how many cold winters and scorching heats we have experienced during this period, and how much blood and sweat we have put in. Only those who have experienced it will understand.
Heijia finally lowered his head: "I...I lost..."
Afterwards, Heijia turned around and left without looking back. Even the people who wanted to comfort him along the way were pushed away by him.
Because at this time, any comfort will not work for Hei Jia, but will only increase embarrassment.
Cimu looked at Heijia's back and sighed: "He is extremely talented. He has never lost much since he was a child. This blow will be quite big for him."
Jingjie smiled and said: "Too smooth may not be a good thing, and a little blow may not be a bad thing. Leader Thornwood doesn't need to worry too much."
Ci Mu smiled bitterly and nodded, then stepped forward to congratulate Shi Loach before letting the members of the Crocodile Tribe disperse.
Although the crowd dispersed, various legends about the Vine Tribe and the Stone Loach spread like wildfire among the Crocodile Tribe.
From this day on, the people of the Crocodile Tribe had an impression of the Teng Tribe that was not only rich, but also powerful.
On the way back, Jingjie couldn't help but whispered to the stone loach: "You can obviously shoot more big fish with bronze arrows and win more beautiful fish, so why use stone arrows?"
Shi Loach said: "The leader has said that on other people's territory, don't be too pushy. People who like the limelight can easily cause trouble."
After hearing this, Jing Jie immediately gave Shi Loach a thumbs up, and in her heart she admired this taciturn leader of the second hunting team.
