Jiang Xuan jumped down from the stilted building while holding Qingye in shock, and landed firmly on the ground.
"Chief, are you okay?"
"Chief, who did this?"
"leader……"
A large group of Vine Tribe warriors rushed out immediately, surrounded Jiang Xuan, and were wary of the Crocodile Tribe tribesmen who also came in a fighting posture.
The tribesmen are extremely united, but the side effect is extreme xenophobia. Tonight Jiang Xuan was almost assassinated in the Crocodile tribe, and the friendship that the two tribes had worked so hard to establish was instantly gone.
When the leaders of the Crocodile Tribe, Cimu and Wu, came over, they saw the tense scene in front of them and immediately felt a headache.
Although they have considered falling out with the Vine Tribe due to interests in the future, it is definitely not today.
Fortunately, Jiang Xuan saw the two of them in time and took the initiative to let the Vine Tribe warriors in front disperse.
"Leader Xuan, are you not injured?"
Cimu stepped forward and glanced around Jiang Xuan's body with concern. He found no trace of bleeding and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Xuan shook his head and said: "Fortunately, the Crocodile God came to our aid in time, otherwise we would all have been burned to death upstairs."
The crocodile tribe shaman frowned and said, "There is water under this stilted building, and our crocodile tribe always pays attention to fire safety. How could there be a fire?"
At this time, Qingye said angrily: "It's not a fire, it's someone deliberately setting a fire. When we were trying to go out, someone was shooting arrows, trying to kill us upstairs."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present suddenly changed.
The warriors of the Vine Tribe clenched their weapons one after another and stared vigilantly at the potential enemies around them. The people of the Crocodile Tribe were in an uproar. No one expected that someone would be so bold as to assassinate the leader of the Vine Tribe in the middle of the Crocodile Tribe.
"Quiet!"
At the critical moment, Cimu roared, ferocious totem lines appeared on his face, his pupils turned into vertical shapes, and the powerful aura of the seven-color warrior burst out. The noisy people were immediately shocked and shut their mouths.
"I'll go up and have a look."
After Ci Mu finished speaking, he quickly climbed up the stilted building without waiting for anyone else to respond.
The rattan ladder had been burned out, but this didn't bother Hangmu at all. He accurately grasped each raised position and climbed upstairs in a few clicks.
Although the outside of the stilted building was burnt black, it did not collapse after all. The inside was relatively intact. After rummaging for a while, Thornwood successfully found the arrow on the wooden wall.
The shaft of this arrow is made of wood. It uses a common wood near the crocodile tribe. It is tough and straight. Waterfowl feathers are glued to the tail to improve stability. The arrow head is made of a high-quality stone, polished to a sharp and sharp shape.
sharp.
Tribal people have a habit of carving special marks on their weapons so that they can clearly identify who killed a certain prey or enemy when the credit is distributed.
This arrow is no exception. The owner's message is clearly engraved on the arrowhead...a pattern similar to crocodile scales.
When Cimu saw this pattern, his face suddenly became extremely ugly: "How could it be him? How could he do such a stupid thing?"
At a certain moment, Cimu wanted to hide the arrow and pretend that he had never seen it, but when he thought about it being in full view of everyone outside, doing such a thing would probably permanently lose the trust of the Teng tribe, and even turn the two big tribes against each other.
After careful consideration, Cimu chose to go downstairs with the arrow and give an explanation to Jiang Xuan and the Teng tribe.
"Boom!"
Cimu jumped directly from upstairs to the ground, and then handed the arrow to Jiang Xuan.
"I'm sorry, Chief Xuan, this matter was indeed done by a warrior of our Crocodile Tribe. It's my fault that I didn't discover his hostility towards you in time, which almost made a big mistake."
After Jiang Xuan looked at it, Qingye took the arrow from his hand, then glanced at the mark on the arrowhead, and said in a deep voice: "It's black armor!"
When they learned of this result, the people in the crocodile tribe who were watching were immediately in an uproar.
Heijia can be said to be the most promising member of the current young generation of the Crocodile Tribe. He has already become a five-color warrior under the age of thirty, and his archery skills are extremely good. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be one of the leaders of the Crocodile Tribe in the future.
No one thought that he would dare to do such a thing in the tribe. It was simply audacious and self-destructive.
Cimu glanced at the witch, and after getting the signal from the witch's eyes, he once again shocked the noisy crowd, and then said: "Heijia openly set fire to kill people in the tribe. His crime is unforgivable. In the name of the leader, I declare that starting from today
, deprive the Black-armored Crocodile tribe member of his identity, capture him back to the tribe, and hand him over to Chief Xuan for disposal!"
"The hunting team is dispatched immediately to capture Heijia!"
After Cimu's order was issued, everyone in the Crocodile Tribe's hunting team had no choice but to immediately put on weapons and set out to capture Heijia, whether they wanted to or not.
Jiang Xuan, the Teng tribe warriors, and Cimu rearranged the place for them to rest, and asked the Crocodile tribe warriors to take turns guarding, not allowing any more mistakes.
The chaotic situation is over, and the crocodile tribe has returned to calm on the surface, but the undercurrent surging under the water has become more turbulent.
…
South of the Crocodile Tribe, Nanhe.
"Damn, damn, why would Crocodile God help them? Why?"
On the turbulent river, a man in black armor was riding a large crocodile and was quickly escaping to the south.
After the Crocodile God appeared, he knew that he had no chance of successfully killing Jiang Xuan, and was afraid that he would be executed if the matter was revealed, so he immediately escaped from the tribe on a big crocodile.
Tonight, he watched Jiang Xuan and Qingye enter the stilted building with his own eyes. When he thought that the woman he pursued so hard but got no response would soon sleep with another man, his anger instantly burned his reason.
In his rage, he boldly set fire to buildings in the tribe and shot arrows in the dark.
However, after escaping from the tribe, he was soaked in the river and his sanity suddenly returned.
He finally realized what a stupid thing he had done, and was frightened by the upcoming consequences.
He first hated the totem god of the crocodile tribe. He believed that if the crocodile god hadn't suddenly appeared to help and suppressed them with his own archery skills, Qingye and Jiang Xuan would have been trapped in the stilted building and burned alive.
Later, he hated the big crocodile raised by Aoba. He had obviously put a drug that could cause the crocodile to coma in the water, but the big crocodile suddenly woke up while burning the building and sounded a warning sound.
.
He even hated the tribe. If the Crocodile tribe had refused to contact the Vine tribe from the beginning, things would not be what they are today.
He puts all the faults on others to cover up his inner fragility and faults, convinces himself to continue running away, and continues to live with hatred.
He was frightened and scared, helpless and hesitant. He could only urge the big crocodile to swim faster. He didn't even have the courage to look back, and he didn't know where he was going after leaving the crocodile tribe.
