So, is that ten, or eleven prey?

Babu didn't know, but what Babu knew was that Ah Niu and their twenty tribesmen caught so much prey in one morning, which was as much as the total of ten days for the entire Maple Valley tribe.

The most important thing is their numbers.

What did the Black Mountain tribe say yesterday? There are only twenty people in the Frost Valley tribe, right? Now there are twenty people in the people who hunt alone.

Ah Zai tugged at Babu's arm and said softly, "Patriarch, did you hear it wrong yesterday, the Black Mountain tribe said that they only have twenty hunting clansmen, not counting the others?"

Babu glared back: "How could I have heard it wrong!"

"But, how many of them..."

Before he finished speaking, the remaining half of Ah Zheng's words were swallowed by him, what are you doing? It turned out that more than a dozen clansmen were carrying wooden mountains and rocks, talking and laughing, and when they saw Ji Thief, they all raised their hands and greeted with a smile: "Lord Warrior." ”

Ji Thief nodded slightly.

Babu was not calm at this time, and moved a few steps to the thief, looked left and right, and asked the thief gently: "Warrior, how many people are there in your tribe?"

Ji Thief said casually: "Not much, that's seventy-three, right?"

Saying that, the thief also instructed Ah Liang to help Ah Niu, transport all the prey into the tribe, and according to the regulations, separate three antelopes and a wild boar, and send them to the witch to feed the strychnine, and the rest were left to be killed in the hunting process, and sent alive to the fat elder in the captive land in the back mountain.

Everything is so well organized.

On the other hand, the Báb was shocked in his heart, and stood there stunned.

Seventy-three, this number, is far more than the Montenegrin tribe said fifty, is the Montenegrin tribe not knowing the number? Or is the Frost Valley tribe deliberately hiding the number of their clansmen from the Montenegrin tribe?

The former is impossible, after all, their wizards are as good as monkeys.

The latter, that would be a bit of a statement, why did the Frost Valley tribe hide the truth about their tribesmen, and what was the purpose of their doing this?

At this time, Ji Thief spoke, meaning something: "Sometimes, what you see is not necessarily true, for example, now everyone knows that we have a close relationship with the Black Mountain tribe, but in fact, who will know, we all want to put each other to death." ”

Babu was stunned when he heard this, but he heard some clues from it.

What do you mean?

Could it be that the Frost Valley tribe is not as obedient to the Black Mountain tribe as it seems on the surface?

Do they still have the heart to resist?

Isn't that a joke? What are they going to resist?

"Patriarch Báb. ”

At this moment, the thief shouted.

Babu subconsciously came back to his senses: "Uh, here, what's wrong?"

The thief smiled and said, "Please come with me, I will take you to meet our patriarch and discuss the matter of prey." ”

Babu nodded dumbly, at this time, he was completely shocked, and when he heard the words of the thief, he came with the thief.

When they came to a cave, the thief explained his intention to the two guards, who nodded, got out of the way, and let the thief and Babu in.

The rest of the people were stopped outside the cave.

Entering the cave, the first thing Babu saw was the old patriarch of the Frost Valley tribe sitting on a bed covered in animal skins behind two raging fires.

At this time, the old patriarch's head was full of sweat, and it couldn't stop rolling down.

No way, it's hot.

It was originally a hot time, and I was still wearing a thick animal skin and sitting behind two campfires, this feeling, like an old-fashioned kitchen in the country, gathered in front of the stove, thankfully not being unconscious by the heat.

It's not that the old patriarch's head lacks roots, but that the thief has to say that this method is more mysterious and solemn.

Regarding the statement of the thief, the old patriarch was so angry that he almost didn't beat the thief with a cane, there is a sense of mystery and solemnity, why don't you come yourself?

"Patriarch, the chief of the Báb has arrived. Ji Thief stepped forward and said softly.

The old patriarch snorted, and opened his cloudy but wise eyes: "Well, let's sit down first." ”

When the words fell, the thief agreed, and brought a stump covered with animal skins from the side and placed it behind the Babu chief.

The two patriarchs sat facing each other, and the old patriarch pulled the animal skin on his body, coughed and said, "I have heard the warriors say the intention of the Babu patriarch, but before that, I have a question to ask the Babu chief. ”

Babu's heart sank, and when his heart came, he put his hands on his knees and sat solemnly: "You say." ”

The old patriarch said: "The Frost Valley tribe can provide prey for friends, and even the prey that you hand in, we can also cover it all, but what good is it for us to do this?"

Babu was stunned, okay, good?

The old patriarch continued: "Our prey is also captured by the tribesmen with great painstaking efforts, if we just hand it over for no reason, I don't think the people below will agree, so, Patriarch Babu, I have to know, what can you give us if we do this?"

Babu hurriedly waved his hand: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, we just need the method of hunting, really." ”

The old patriarch smiled: "Well, the method is the same as that of other tribes, even if I say it, the Babu patriarch will not catch as many prey as us." ”

"Why?" said Babu.

Ji Thief took over the old patriarch's words: "It's very simple, because of the Maple Valley tribe, there is no flying stone rope. ”

"Flying Stone?"

Ji Thief nodded: "Yes, it is the flying stone rope that we used to defeat the Black Mountain tribe at the beginning, this kind of weapon, in the entire large mountain range, only our Frost Valley tribe will use it, and the other tribes don't know anything." ”

The Báb was silent for a long time before he looked up: "But we can't get anything out of it now." ”

Ji Thief said: "Don't say that about the Babu Patriarch, you still have people, I remember, your Maple Valley tribe, there should be more than thirty tribesmen now." ”

Babu stood up and was furious: "Do you want me to exchange my own people for prey?"

Ji Thief was not in a hurry or annoyed: "No, to be precise, it is borrowing, we use the prey to borrow people from the Maple Valley tribe." ”

"Borrow?" Babu couldn't figure it out, "What do you mean?"

Ji Thief said: "A prey, borrow your two clansmen for a day, you need to hand over five antelopes and a wild boar to the Montenegrin tribe every day, which is equivalent to saying, we borrow twelve people from your tribe, of course, we can also be responsible for the daily expenses of your clansmen, but you also have to use the clansmen as collateral, for the sake of everyone being friends, so let's borrow your fifteen clansmen, and be responsible for giving you six antelopes and two wild boars every day, how about it?"

"But why do you want to borrow people when you already have seventy-three people?"

It stands to reason that in terms of the number of tribesmen in the Frost Valley, they don't look like they lack clansmen at all, so why do they need to borrow people? This doesn't make sense at all.

The old patriarch looked at the Ji thief, who nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "What does the Babu patriarch think of the Black Mountain tribesmen?"

"Of course, there were more than 300 of them. ”

"Yes, there are more than 300 people in the Black Mountain Tribe, and there are only 70 people in the Frost Valley Tribe, doesn't the Babu Patriarch think that the difference in strength between the two sides is too big?"

"The gap is a bit big... Wait, what do you mean?" only then did the Babu patriarch react and asked the thief in shock.

Ji Thief licked his lips: "It's very simple, I borrowed someone to defeat the Black Mountain tribe." ”

With a bang, Babu stood up directly: "This is crazy! The Black Mountain tribe is so powerful, what is the difference between lending the tribesmen to you and sending them to death? No, no, I can't agree." ”

The thief also stood up: "Doesn't the Babu patriarch think that if you hand over a large amount of prey to the Black Mountain tribe every day, you will not be sent to death? If it were not for the help of our Frost Valley tribe, how many people do you think you will be taken away to make food for the Black Mountain tribe after ten days?"

Just this sentence directly silenced Babu.

One less prey will be taken away by one clansman, and in ten days, the Maple Valley tribe will hand over sixty prey.

However, the Maple Valley tribe will get a maximum of thirty prey in ten days, so after waiting for ten days, I am afraid that the Maple Valley tribe will only be left with one person.
