The birthday celebration lasted from daylight on the first day to the dawn on the second day, when the people of the tribe tidied up the mess and went home to catch up on sleep.

Of course, Akabuchi, who is the protagonist of the celebration, didn't really stay there for such a long time.

He just came to the stage at the beginning of the celebration to give a speech, said a few words, sat down to eat a plate of side dishes, drank a few glasses of wine, and then excused himself to leave.

After all, with such a noble master as them, those people below are always a little restrained, and they can't have fun.

Speaking of which, the patriarch's annual birthday ceremony is not for himself, but for those in the tribe who have worked hard for a year to find a reason to rest, relax and vent, that's all.

And he, when the sky was still bright, had already taken his newly acquired pet concubine back to his castle and was happy.

The so-called "Chiyuan Good Beauty" rumored by the outside world is not false at all, he is indeed a person who has no women and is not happy.

However, the rumor that he did not do his job, and even made the whole tribe unpeaceful for the sake of women, so that the people resented it, can already be said to be completely slanderous.

These rumors, in the final analysis, are just a kind of mocking argument propagated by the Lishan tribe in their own tribe in order to blacken the enemy, because if it is not the case, they are in a weak position all the year round in the comparison of strength, and they can't find a sense of superiority in their hearts at all, if there is no such a little bit of superiority support, it will be difficult for many people to achieve balance in their hearts, which is very unfavorable to the rule of the Lishan tribe.

Although because of blackening for many years and generations, in the hearts of many people of the Lishan tribe, the leaders of the Chiyuan tribe were either brutal or lustful and greedy, and the people in that tribe lived a miserable life every day, but in fact, whether it was the standard of living, the level of safety, or the material reserves, and the prevention and control of risks, the Chiyuan tribe was a lot higher than the Lishan tribe.

In terms of population base, the Chiyuan tribe is more than twice as large as the Lishan tribe. In terms of the distribution of labor, the planning of resources, and even the overall layout of the tribe, the Lishan tribe is far from being able to compare with the Chiyuan tribe.

The only thing they can be proud of is the unity that has penetrated into their bones.

In fact, this is just a strategy that has to be adopted because of the constraints of the living environment.

On the other hand, the Chiyuan tribe, they don't need those things at all to maintain the normal operation of the tribe, their population is large and has been developing benignly for many years, their materials are abundant, even if they encounter any uncontrollable disasters, in two or three years, there will be no major problems.

And the Chi Yuan himself, who was ridiculed and criticized by the Lishan tribe, is actually a leader who has a very big picture and is measured, and knows how to run a tribe well.

He was lustful, but he never touched the women of the tribe casually, and the women who followed him were all voluntary, and there was no element of compulsion, and the women he kept in the castle for fun were all female slaves that he had paid enough resources to buy from other tribes around him, and from the captives of the Lishan tribe. If there is anything bad about it, at best, it is just these women who have never left the tribe to engage in production, but they have wasted a considerable part of the resources in the tribe, but as the leader of the tribe, the property of the entire tribe can actually be said to be his private property, just spending some more resources that should belong to him, no one will say anything at all.

Among the Chiyuan tribe, there are indeed some people who are separated from Chiyuan himself, but the vast majority of people are still in awe and satisfaction with their patriarch, and the so-called complaints are non-existent.

After enjoying the ultimate pleasure in the gentle country, Chi Yuan got up and simply had lunch, and began to deal with the affairs of the tribe.

The tribe has been operating for thousands of years, and it has long had its own specific regulations, and although the number of people is much larger than that of the Lishan tribe, the scale is actually not large, and there are not too many affairs for him to deal with every day, so Chi Yuan's mind naturally fell on one of the things he was more concerned about recently.

It was the purple amber that had disappeared into the tribe of Lishan without warning.

His previous strategy was good, but it wasn't foolproof.

For example, if the person who got the amber didn't have much ambition, and was already very satisfied just devouring an existence close to a demon beast to improve his strength, then as long as he carefully selected the prey and arranged the trap well enough, then it was still very likely to achieve the goal by himself, so that neither the Lishan tribe nor their Chiyuan tribe would have to think about getting the new amber.

Although everyone is greedy, and has the ability to find that purple heart amber from the Lishan tribe, and lead the water to the east, and successfully transfer the attention of the Lishan tribe to the people of their Chiyuan tribe, the person who took the opportunity to slip away must be a guy who is extremely thoughtful and not bad.

Such a person, if he wants to say that he will only target the absorption of a beast that is not yet at the level of a demon beast, or that he does not have the courage to fight the second-order demon beast of the Chiyuan tribe, Chiyuan does not believe it very much.

Then, it may not be said that there is no such situation, but it must be very low.

In this way, the only thing he needed to think about was whether the person who stole the amber silently had the strength to kill an ordinary first-order demon beast.

If he had this strength or strategy, then he would also have a certain chance of retreating and giving up the second-order demon beast of the Chiyuan tribe that was about to run out of life, and choosing a first-order demon beast that was easier to obtain, but relatively speaking, the danger level was also dozens of times lower.

And in Akabuchi's opinion, the person who succeeded in stealing amber from the Kuriyama tribe must have such an ability.

The only thing he was worried about now was that that person could find a more suitable first-order demon beast in this huge rainforest and start it directly, so that all the means he had arranged in advance in his tribe after receiving the news would be in vain.

However, for Chi Yuan, to get to this point, he has already completed all the personnel he can do.

After all, the thief was in the dark, and he was in the light, and he didn't know the specific location of that guy, he didn't know what he thought, and he didn't even know what he looked like. Such a person or several people, even if he wanted to use the power of the Chiyuan tribe to find out, he had no way to do it. You can't give an order to tell all the people of the Chiyuan tribe to find a person with an unknown surname, who doesn't know his appearance, who doesn't know his age. Such people are everywhere, and how can they be found?

Therefore, although he was a little uncertain in his heart, at the moment, he had no other way but to bet on the arrogance in the thief's heart, and bet that he was unwilling to just absorb an ordinary first-order demon beast, and would definitely try his best to infiltrate the Chiyuan tribe.

After strategizing for so many years, Chi Yuan reluctantly found that this time, whether he could succeed or not, he could only wait for the rabbit and see his luck.

This made him very unhappy.

What he didn't expect was that he had clearly expected that someone would likely infiltrate his tribe, so at the edge of the tribe and the place where the first- and second-order demon beasts were held, quite a lot of traps and ambushes were arranged in advance, but those two people walked in from the main gate with the quilt Yu.

Everything seemed to be wrong, and at the very beginning it deviated from the development track he had designed in advance.

Of course, although Jiang Ning and Dong Xun successfully blended into the Chiyuan tribe, for them, this was only the first step, and there was still a long way to go before they found the location where the second-order demon beast was imprisoned, and then found a way to break through the layout of the red abyss, avoid the trap, and then kill the second-order demon beast.

Compared to the Lishan tribe, the Chiyuan tribe is not small, but compared to the city of Jiang Ning's world, the tribe in front of him is not as big as one-third of the smallest county town, even if it is just measured with footsteps, it can walk two or three times in one day.

Therefore, after getting Jiang Ning's instructions, Ziyu immediately left the tribe, taking advantage of the night, and the people in the tribe went to the castle to participate in the birthday celebration, wandering back and forth among the tribes alone, looking for the hiding place of the demon beast.

The architectural layout of the Chiyuan tribe is quite reasonable, and the vertical and horizontal intersperses of the streets are also very coordinated, unlike the chaos of the Lishan tribe.

To the north was the castle of the patriarch Akabuchi, to the east was the residence of important people and people with positions in the clan, and he himself lived in the eastern complex, in the middle of which were the most populous people of the tribe, and on the west were the tribe's trading houses, prisons, animal pens, warehouses, arsenals, patrol camps and other functional places, and to the south, the lowest status of the tribe were inhabited by slaves and voluntary naturalized captives and outsiders.

A place with a lot of people is obviously not suitable for hiding that second-order demon beast, after all, even if it is a dying old demon beast that will die in a short time, it is also a demon beast, and the coercion exuded by the demon beast is a little irresistible to ordinary people who have not cultivated, and in a place with many people, it is easy to hear the roar of the beast, and it will soon be discovered.

Therefore, although the Chiyuan tribe is small, Ziyu is not blindly searching, but first excludes the residential area, as well as the trading market and camp in the west and other places that are often frequented, and then divides the remaining places and the possibility of the demon beasts from high to low, and after the division is completed, he will start looking in turn, and with the support of such an order, his efficiency can be greatly improved.

It's not that Ziyu really wants to do things for Jiang Ning in his heart, it's just that first, his little life is in the hands of others, and if he can't find it for too long, it is likely to make Jiang Ning unhappy, and secondly, Chiyuan's birthday celebration is just like this once a year, and the opportunity cannot be missed. After this time when almost everyone runs to play outside the Red Rock Castle, the people in the tribe will disperse, and at that time, he will need to spend extra effort to disguise his actions and try not to make himself look suspicious, so that the time available to find targets every day will be greatly reduced, and if there is a task to be issued, he will even need to go out, so that it is even more uncertain whether Jiang Ning will poison him in a fit of anger. Moreover, in this way, the possibility of being discovered by others will also be greatly increased.

He knew very well in his heart that the patriarch Chi Yuan was also determined to get that amber this time, and if the thing was gone, he would definitely send heavy troops to ambush outside the second-order demon beast's beast pen, just waiting for that person to send it to the door himself.

If he showed any abnormalities during this time, with the old scheming of the Chiyuan patriarch, he would definitely transfer the target of suspicion to Jiang Ning and Dong Xun who were brought in by him, and it didn't matter if the two died, but first, Chiyuan thought that he had betrayed, and when the time came, he would have his own way to live, and second, even if he didn't doubt his loyalty, those two people died, and the poison on his body could not be resolved, and it was inevitable that there would be a dead word.

Therefore, after all the calculations, it is still the best choice to find out the hiding place of the second-order demon beast in advance before the end of the second day of the celebration, and go back to Jiang Ning to return to his life.

The first place he suspected was the Red Stone Castle, which belonged entirely to Chi Yuan himself, which covered an area equivalent to a quarter of the entire tribe, but it was inhabited by very few people, except for the patriarch Chi Yuan himself and his women, there were some subordinates, slaves, and personal soldiers and guards directly under him. Inside the Redstone Castle, there is enough space to hide second-order demon beasts, and it is also concealed and safe enough.

However, the Red Stone Fort was Chi Yuan's private place, and without his orders, even their subordinates would not dare to trespass in privately, so this place, at this awkward time, would not have had a chance to enter at all. Although it was the most likely, Ziyu had to put it further back.

As for the second location, it is naturally the animal pen.

In the beast pen, there are many first-order demon beasts imprisoned, although the second-order demon beasts are not usually imprisoned with these first-order demon beasts, but if they are transferred here, it is not impossible.

In addition, the arsenal, the valley outside the camp, and the large vacant building complex to the east may also be used as a place for Chi Yuan to hide that second-order demon beast.

Ziyu was a cautious person, he had long thought that the patriarch was likely to lay an ambush on this side of the beast pen, so he did not go directly to that side, but found a corner as a cover across the stone's throw and hid his figure first.

There is no way for others to find that demon beast, but there is a way to give birth to him.

After the great-grandfather of the current patriarch of the Chiyuan tribe caught this demon beast back then, he originally planned to devour it, but unfortunately, except for the matter of Lishan, the plan was shelved.

Later, in order to prevent this second-order demon beast that was finally captured alive from escaping, the successor Chiyuan patriarch would smear a powder with a special smell on its body every once in a while, if it escaped, it could be tracked with this smell, and if the demon beast did not have time to get out of the range of the Chiyuan tribe, it would be easy to be caught again.

When it comes to specific strength, his strength is the strength of an ordinary member of the Assassin Squad, but, coincidentally, this is his specialty in breaking seals, enchantments and tracking, and breaking obstacles.

Although he didn't know exactly what the smell on that second-order demon beast was, he knew very well the smell on those first-order demon beasts. After all, although few of the second-order demon beasts in the tribe had seen its true face of Lushan at all, those first-order demon beasts in the beast pen, those who belonged to Chi Yuan's command, were qualified to enter.

Even, at the end of the year every year, Chi Yuan would choose to kill a first-order demon beast, and then reward its flesh and organs to these people.

The reason why the strength of the middle-level masters of the Chiyuan tribe is far stronger than that of the middle-level of the Lishan tribe is largely because the Chiyuan tribe has never stopped for the tangible and intangible benefits of these people under them.

Ziyu took out a black bottle from his arms, and after opening the cork, the bottle contained some powder that was also black.

These powders, in the darkness where you can't see your fingers now, can't see anything at all, but Ziyu relied on his familiarity with the bottles in his arms to immediately confirm that he was not wrong.

This time, instead of pouring out the black powder inside, he raised the mouth of the bottle slightly, aimed it at his nose, and then took a deep breath, borrowing those weak suction power, and inhaled some of the black particles and powder in the bottle into his nostrils.

After a while, Ziyu, who was hiding in the corner of the wall, suddenly showed a trace of hideous color on his face, and then, on his nose, black spots began to appear one after another one after another, and then, those black spots gradually bulged and turned into small bags like grit.

Ziyu, who was originally standing in the corner, seemed to be in great pain at the moment, one hand forcibly pinched his throat, forcing himself not to let out any moans, and the other hand covered his mouth, and the whole person was like a cooked shrimp, hunched and curled up on the ground.

This process lasted for nearly half an hour, and the severe pain gradually subsided.

Ziyu stood up expressionlessly, patted the dust on his body, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
