Chapter 118, Senhu

If you want to hunt a large fierce beast in the Nanzhao Forest, the most difficult thing is not how to catch it alive, but to find a large fierce beast.

These beasts are usually hidden deep in the forest, and they are more intelligent and cunning than ordinary beasts, and some are not even worse than human ones.

Before dawn, the young leader counted the tribe's hunters, more than thirty people, plus two elderly wizards.

Only when participating in a big hunt will so many people be gathered into one team.

In the forest, it is not necessary to hunt more prey because there are more people.

On the contrary, there are too many people, it is easy to alarm those wild beasts, and it is even more difficult to hunt.

The women and children of the tribe wake up early to see off their husbands and fathers.

Xue saw that a group of people were taken to the gate of the tribe and formed into a separate team, and only some bows and arrows and spears were assigned to them.

The young leader said.

"You'd better not play any tricks, and if you manage to catch a large beast this time, I'll let you go. ”

Xue Jian nodded.

Everyone lined up in a long line, with the young leader at the front, Xue Jian and the others following closely, and the two wizards at the back of the line.

Heading towards the depths of the forest, the road is even more difficult, with towering ancient trees, shrubs and thorns that almost seal the road to death, poisonous insects and poisonous snakes everywhere, and mountain streams and quagmires that you may fall into if you are not careful.

The long procession was not fast, and it was only sixty or seventy miles from dawn to dusk.

The first day did not yield anything, so the group found an open space, simply set up a camp, and used the hares they caught on the road as dinner.

Xue Hongzhi and others lit a bonfire, and everyone in the Xue family gathered around the bonfire, originally talking and laughing easily.

Suddenly, the young leader walked over and sat down beside Xue Jian.

Without saying a word, he silently nibbled on the dried meat in his hand, as if he had come just to spy on them.

The people who were talking and laughing immediately fell silent, and the atmosphere became depressing.

Xue Jian took out a jar of sea urchin wine from the spatial belt, handed it to the young leader, and said.

"My name is Xue Jian, I don't know what the leader is called?"

He glanced at the wine jar, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

This person obviously didn't have anything on him, but he actually conjured a jar out of thin air, which made him curious.

Taking over the wine jar, he patted open the mud and took a sip, and said calmly.

"Good wine. ”

After saying this, the man fell silent again, and drank the wine one after another.

Xue Jian took out two jars of wine from the space belt, one jar was given to Xue Hongzhi and others, and the other jar was drunk by himself.

The young leader couldn't help but be curious and asked.

"Where did you make this wine?"

Xue Jian explained with a smile.

"In the outside world, there is a treasure called the Space Element, which can be put into it at will, and can be taken out when you want to use it. ”

The young leader nodded lightly, his eyes were hiding yearning and longing, which was captured by Xue Jian.

He continued.

"In the outside world, if you need this kind of thing, you can exchange it for something of equivalent value, such as the jar of wine you drink, which is exchanged for coins. ”

The young leader said slowly.

"I know, I once went to Takagi Castle, where people caught prey or picked herbs in the forest, and they would take it to the city to sell it and earn coins, we ...... There is no need for such a thing. ”

Xue Jian opened his mouth with a smile.

"There's always something you need, like my spatial element.

With it, if you hunt a fierce beast outside, you can put it in and take it out when you get to the tribe, isn't it much easier?"

The young leader slowly turned his head, stared at Xue Jian with deep eyes, and was silent for a moment before he spoke.

"What do you want me to exchange for?"

Xue Jian's face became solemn and said.

"A remnant monument, the remnant monument you snatched from our Xue family. ”

The young leader frowned, looking puzzled.

"What remnants, when did we snatch something from you?"

As soon as these words came out, it was Xue Jian's turn to be full of doubts, looking at the other party's appearance, it seemed that he was not lying, and there was no need for the other party to lie.

Don't...... Could it be that it wasn't the people of the Senwu tribe who snatched the remnants of the Nine Dragons Monument?

Xue Jian had never seen the people of the Senwu tribe before, and he didn't know anything about them, so as soon as Xue Mingzhi said it, he believed it, and subconsciously labeled this group of people as arrogant and murderous.

Looking back carefully, this group of natives does not seem to be arrogant and murderous, except for being closed-minded and backward, and being wary of the outside world.

Xue Jian asked immediately after pondering.

"A year ago, did your clansmen ever encounter a hunting party like us on the outskirts of the Nanzhao Forest?"

The young leader shook his head.

"People from our tribe rarely go hunting in the outer forests, and even if they go, when they encounter hunting teams like yours, they will generally avoid them and not interfere with each other.

If you hadn't killed the Witch God's tribute this time, we wouldn't have had more time to find a new tribute, and we wouldn't have captured you back. ”

These words were heard by the Xue family on the side, and Xue Hongzhi stood up and asked.

"How is it possible, just a year ago, our hunting team entered the Nanzhao Forest to hunt and met people from your Senwu tribe.

As a result, without saying a word, you launched an attack on us and killed many of our people. ”

The young leader stood up and said with a calm face and an angry face.

"Hugh wants to spew blood, our tribe will never do such a thing. ”

The more than thirty ordinary clansmen around him, as well as the two wizards, all stood up and looked at Xue Hongzhi with an unkind gaze.

Xue Jian hurriedly got up and persuaded.

"Misunderstandings, all misunderstandings.

Third Uncle, don't you understand? Those who attacked our family's hunting party were deliberately disguised as people from the Senwu tribe and framed them. ”

Xue Hongzhi reacted suddenly, now that their lives are in the hands of this young leader, do people still need to lie and act with you?

Xue Jian picked up the wine jar and touched it, explaining.

"We were deceived, a year ago, our family's hunting party was attacked by a group of people dressed as your tribe in the Nanzhao Forest, and they went to Takagi City the next day and snatched a very important thing from our family.

The remnant of the monument I just mentioned to you is that thing. ”

The young leader's tiger eyes were full of anger, and he clenched his fists.

"Who are they who dare to pretend to be people from our tribe to kill people and do evil?"

Xue Jian shook his head, saying that he didn't know, and he would only ask his father in detail after he went back.

Everyone sat down calmly again, and after two sips of wine, the young leader suddenly spoke.

"My name is Senhu. ”

In a simple sentence, Xue Jian was very happy, touched the wine jar with him, and took a big sip.
