055 - Captive
Everyone looked in the direction where the voice came, and saw that the thief in the crowd spoke quietly.
The witch asked suspiciously, "Warrior, do you have anything to say?"
The witch's words made everyone a ramp, busy with their bodies, and listened to what the thief had to say.
Under the gaze of many people, Ji Thief sat up straight embarrassedly, tried to be as serious as possible, and said, "Patriarch, I have a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
The old patriarch snorted, and said indifferently: "Warrior, what you said, just say it." ”
"Yes, warrior, if you have anything, just say it. The primitive people shouted along.
has experienced a battle with the Black Mountain tribe, and in the minds of everyone, the status of the thief can be said to be high.
Ji Thief has something to say now, and everyone naturally won't refute it.
Seeing this, Ji Thief groaned and said, "That's the case, I'm thinking, what if you don't kill them?"
When this sentence came out, Ji Thief saw it clearly, and everyone's expressions that were still smiling a second ago immediately froze in this second, with doubts, doubts, and even some awkwardness.
"Warrior, what are you talking about?" Seeing that the expressions of the clansmen were wrong, the witch quickly pulled the thief to divert everyone's attention.
Xue also asked softly: "Warriors, why don't you kill them, they have eaten many of our clansmen." ”
Ji Thief nodded: "I know, I know." ”
The old patriarch frowned, as if wondering why the thief would say such a thing.
The crowd began to whisper.
"What's wrong with the Warriors, why don't you kill them?"
"I don't know, maybe the Warrior has other ideas, anyway, I believe in the Warrior, he will definitely not let us down. ”
"However, many of our tribes have been eaten by them..."
"Warrior-sama must know this, listen to Warrior-sama. ”
"Okay, okay, just listen to Lord Warrior,"
For a while, the crowd was watching the thief.
It can be seen from this that the prestige of the thief in the hearts of these tribesmen has reached.
Even generations of hatred say to let go and let go, this is really not something ordinary people can do.
The old patriarch asked the thief very cautiously: "Warrior, do you mean to keep them if you don't kill them?"
Ji Thief waved his hand and smiled: "How is it possible, that blade-toothed tiger will not hurt me." These guys are different, although they are individuals, they don't do anything, and besides, I have to waste food if I keep them, I can support it when I am full. ”
The old patriarch breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, patted his chest and said, "That's good, that's good." ”
Ji Thief's eyes rolled, and then said, "However, you can't kill them." ”
Ji Thief's words made everyone even more puzzled, if you don't keep them or kill them, what are you going to do?
The words of the thief were surprised when they fell on the ears of the clansmen, but they were horrified in the ears of those Black Mountain cannibals.
At this time, they all understood that their little life was between the words of the thief, and for a while, they all looked at the thief with expectant eyes.
"Warrior, you're confusing me? The old patriarch didn't understand what the thief meant, so he simply asked directly.
Ji Thief smacked his lips and said, "It's such a patriarch, what can we get by killing them?" It's just that everyone has a bad breath, but we are outside the valley, and we have already killed more than a hundred people from the Black Mountain tribe, and we are not inferior to these few at all. ”
People, you look at me, I look at you, all quietly waiting for the thief's next words.
"But then again, it's not worth it to leave them behind, and we have to waste food to take care of them. So, I thought very simply, return them to the Montenegrin tribe. ”
When the words came out, everyone was shocked, and the thin elder was the first to retort: "No!"
Ji Thief looked back, and the thin elder blushed and said, "We can't return them to the Black Mountain Tribe, in this case, they will still attack us!"
All the clansmen nodded, and it was clear that they all agreed with the thin elder's words.
"The people of the Black Mountain tribe are inherently fierce, warriors, and I don't think it's good for you to return them. The old patriarch said worriedly.
The crowd immediately began to speak.
"Yes, Lord Warrior, we must not return them, or they will continue to attack us. ”
When the black bear over there heard the words of the thief who didn't kill him and sent him back, he wanted to lie on the ground and kiss the thief's feet, but after hearing the opposition of the thin elder and most of the clansmen, he had the heart to die.
At this time, the witch spoke: "I don't think the warrior will put them back like this, the warrior may have his thoughts." ”
Some of the steady clansmen nodded in agreement.
The old patriarch was stunned: "Is it a warrior?"
Ji Thief snorted.
Seeing this, all the clansmen happily asked the thief, "Lord Warrior, will you tell us about it?"
Ji Thief licked his lips and said with a smile: "I also said just now, if we kill them, we won't get anything, and we have to deal with their blood stains and dead bodies, rather than this, it's better to send them back, but this is not for nothing, it has to be beneficial." ”
When the word "benefit" was mentioned, Ji Thief saw it clearly, and everyone's eyes lit up.
They looked at the thief and were speechless with excitement.
Ji Thief shook his head and continued: "I heard that there are many people captured by the Black Mountain tribe, so we will exchange them for their captives. ”
Everyone lowered their heads and thought, and in the end, it was the old patriarch who took the lead in asking: "What good do we do by doing this?"
Ji thief said in his heart My uncle, do you really not understand or pretend to be with me?
The speechless old patriarch opened his mouth to explain: "Patriarch, may I ask, what is the most important thing in a tribe?"
The old patriarch thought for a moment: "Of course it's food. ”
"But what if you only have food? Isn't it useless if there are no clansmen?" The old patriarch was stunned for a moment, and then understood what the thief meant: "You mean that we will return those captives and join our tribe?"
Ji Thief snapped his fingers and said in a greasy tone: "I'm so smart, I love you." ”
The black line on the old patriarch's head.
The people around him all had the urge to vomit.
"These Black Mountain people, plus a Tai * Ye Black Dog Bear, at least, can exchange thirty more prisoners for us, and there are thirty more clansmen in the tribe, patriarch, don't you think that doing this is more profitable than killing them?" Ji Thief asked rhetorically.
The old patriarch immediately turned around and consulted with the witch and the fat and thin elder.
Finally, the thin elder was the first to ask, "However, they originally belonged to another tribe, is it feasible to let them join our tribe?
"People believe in the strong, we defeated the Black Mountain tribe, who else is more powerful than our tribe? More importantly, all the people in our tribe can eat cooked meat, this point, in other tribes, I think, there is no such thing at all? In this case, anyone who changes to another person knows how to choose, doesn't he?" Ji Thief's words completely moved the old patriarch and the witch.
And the ordinary clansmen below also understood what the thief meant after thinking for a while, and they all grinned one by one.
The old patriarch asked the people uncertainly, "Don't kill them?"
Everyone in the Black Mountain tribe, especially the black bear, nodded with their heads: "Mm-hmm." ”
The thin elder kicked over: "What's the matter with you, fuck off." ”
The black bear was kicked and staggered, and the people burst into laughter.
In the midst of laughter, it was unanimously agreed to exchange these Black Mountain tribesmen for their captives.
"Of course, ordinary Montenegrin people can be exchanged for one captive, as for this black bear, if it is less than ten, if they don't have so many prisoners, tsk, we can only kill the rest." Ji Thief shook his head.
The old patriarch grinned again, and smiled brightly.
Only the more than 20 Black Mountain tribesmen, one by one, were as frightened as quails.
For a while, these people just hoped that there would be enough captives in the tribe, and they desperately hoped that the beasts in the family would start slowly, slowly.
