It wasn't sunrise yet, and the sky was a little overcast. A hazy mist shrouded the surface of the river, like an unpredictable veiled beauty. Not far away, the sound of people moving around the tribe was faintly heard, and then the firelight was reflected, and puffs of cooking smoke rose between the gray-white tents.

Wu Yejiang led the spirit rhino beast to the river to drink. The cool morning mist wet her long black hair, and her entire body was wrapped in ankle-length black robes, looking slender and slender but not thin. Probably without the shackles of the reins, the spirit rhinoceros seemed very happy, and after a few sips of water, it turned around and rubbed its nose against her shoulder, making a "Mumu" cry from time to time.

Wu Yejiang turned his face sideways and chuckled, "Don't make trouble." ”

"Early in the morning, what's it called here?" A stone flew over and hit the spirit rhinoceros beast's buttocks, and it would have been so angry that it would have jumped to its feet, but after seeing the person clearly, it shrank behind Wu Yejiang in fear.

"Dumping, don't always bully the spirit rhinoceros beast, it's my mount." Wu Ye Jiang pursed the corners of his mouth.

"Who made it always look scared every time it saw me, and my hands would itch if I didn't bully it!" As he spoke, he walked over, and the dense branches and leaves were removed, revealing the face of a handsome and unparalleled young man.

"If you have this kung fu, you might as well practice more of the witchcraft I taught you."

"I don't have this bloodline, no matter how much I practice witchcraft, it's just like that," he curled the corners of his lips slightly as if he was self-deprecating, and looked at Wu Yejiang's hair, with a light of appreciation in his eyes, "Your hair seems to be getting darker day by day." ”

"Aren't you also black-haired?" Wu Ye Jiang lifted his eyelids and glanced at him.

"I'm different from you," he teased a strand of her hair as if jokingly, "I'm human, and whether my hair is black or not is at most a matter of whether it's good or not, but you wizards are different, the darker the hair color, the stronger the witchcraft it represents." You see, those pesky old men don't have as much hair as you do. ”

"So what." Wu Ye Jiang retracted his hair expressionlessly.

"Hey, you'll die if you laugh," he rolled his eyes helplessly, and then said, "But usually you are too obedient, those eight old men are obviously not as good as you, why do you always let them?" ”

Wu Ye Jiang frowned when he heard this, "I didn't listen to anyone, since what they ordered didn't hurt my interests, why should I refute it?" If I don't want to, no one can force me to do anything, and no one can stop me from doing anything. ”

"Heh, then why did you stay here to protect the tribe?" He asked.

"When I woke up, I was already here." Wu Ye Jiang raised his brown eyes and replied. She had never met her biological parents, and of course, it didn't matter to her whether she met or not. According to the eight elders, she floated to the tribe from the river in front of her, because her bloodline also happened to belong to the wizard clan, so she naturally joined the ranks of the guardians of the deep-eyed tribe.

For more than 100 years, she didn't like or dislike this job, it didn't matter to her, and she didn't know what was important.

Seeing her lead the spirit rhinoceros beast away, Tilt immediately reached out to grab her, and said in a low voice: "What I asked you for last time, did you agree?" ”

"Huh?"

Seeing her confused appearance, his face couldn't help but become a little anxious, "We grew up together no matter how we say it." Chaos Beast matters, you must help me! ”

"You're wrong, I watched you grow up, and it can also be said that I raised you, anyway, it can't be considered to grow up together," Wu Ye Jiang corrected him coldly, "No one can ask me to help, and you are no exception." ”

"You can say whatever you want, but this matter is very important to me, and you know how awkward my position in the tribe is!" He frowned, and since he could remember, the girl in front of him had not changed at all, including her appearance and personality.

Wu Yejiang ignored him and led the spirit rhinoceros beast in the direction of the tent.

"Hey—" cried out in disappointment, but as the girl's back was about to disappear, he suddenly heard a soft voice.

- "Let me think about it again. ”

The sky turned over the white of the fish's belly, and a faint bright red quietly cut through the edge. There was a sound of voices in the tribe, and as the day dawned, everyone awoke from their deep sleep.

Wu Ye Jiang led the spirit rhino beast, walked through the crowd without squinting, and walked in the direction of the Wu Ye family's tent. Occasionally, I passed by a few people who were holding clothes and food, and their eyes sparkled. People are full of respect for the wizards who protect the tribe, but unlike others, Wu Ye Jiang always has a hint of fear in the gaze he receives.

People love this, for powerful and uninformed things, eager to rely on but have a grudge, Wu Ye Jiang pulled the corners of his mouth almost invisibly.

After taking a few steps, a figure stood in front of her.

Wu Yejiang raised his head, the young man in front of him was slightly older than Tilt Chong, but his appearance was the same handsome, and his eyebrows were very similar, and even the ambition in his eyes was the same.

"Is there anything wrong, Prince Wang?"

Xuan Heng looked at her and asked, "You were with Tilt Zhong just now?" ”

"Since Wang Shizi has seen it, he came to ask me what to do?"

"Heh, I just don't understand, why are you so good to him?" Xuan Heng's eyes flashed with a glint of inquiry, "His mother is a lowly slave who has died, and he will never inherit the king's position, so wouldn't it be more beneficial for you to take refuge in my side?" ”

Wu Yejiang's face moved, and his eyebrows raised a sarcastic arc, "I don't need to turn to anyone, I will only do what I want to do." Wang Shizi, please let me go. ”

"I don't know what to do." Xuan Heng's eyes were full of anger, and the golden bracelet on his wrist flashed gold, and soon, dozens of black shadows appeared around him silently, slowly surrounding.

Wu Yejiang didn't even look at it, his eyes were as calm as the surface of the lake, "You think they are my opponents?" "It's ridiculous!

"Of course I know that I can't beat you with these shadow guards, but I don't plan to fight against you," Xuan Heng raised his right hand and touched the gold bracelet on his wrist, "I'm just reminding you who is the owner of the gold bracelet and who is the future successor of the Shenmu tribe!" Your Wuye family has been ordered to protect the Shenmu tribe for generations, and you will be used by me in the future anyway, so it is better to recognize the belonging now, so as not to take a detour. ”

"The Wuye family is only responsible for defending against foreign enemies and protecting the tribe, and does not participate in the affairs of the throne. Therefore, who will inherit the throne is your business, and it has nothing to do with the Wuye family. Even if it has something to do with the Wuye family, it has nothing to do with me. Wu Ye Jiang glanced at him and said.

"Won't you help Tilt and fight me for the heir? I don't believe he's an ambitious guy. The corners of Xuan Heng's lips pursed, revealing a complicated expression.

"I've never thought of it that way anyway, believe it or not." After Wu Ye Jiang finished speaking, he led the spirit rhino beast and walked straight past him.

Xuan Heng watched her back gradually disappear into the forest, waved his long hand, summoned two shadow guards, and ordered: "You go and keep an eye on her for me, and if there is any strange movement, come back and report me immediately." ”

The shadow guard got the order and followed Wu Ye Jiang into the depths of the forest.

Xuan Heng turned around and snorted disdainfully, won't he help him? Wouldn't it threaten his succession to the throne? Oh, he didn't believe it!

The tents of the Wuye family are set up in the depths of the jungle, and unlike the fireworks of the main tribe of the deep eyes, the environment here is quiet and the atmosphere is peaceful.

Generally speaking, in order to ensure the purity of the bloodline, wizard families only allow internal marriages, and the advantage of these is that they have a thousand years longer than humans, and they also have talents beyond ordinary people.

Wu Ye Jiang walked to his tent, stretched out his hand to remove the reins from the spirit rhino beast, and ran and played with the various divine beasts next to it. She found a smooth stone and sat down, holding her cheeks and quietly surveying the scene around her.

The people of the Wuye family are very hardworking and always seem to be in a state of busyness, except for her, of course. Some of the people in the clan are good at medicine, some are good at tactics, and they are stepping up their research and practice in their own fields all day long. The purpose of this qiē is not for oneself, but for the so-called protection.

Since birth, after receiving the blessings of the Eight Elders, everyone will usher in a destiny that is predetermined for them - to protect the Shenmu Tribe. Everything they do is for the service of the tribe, they know how to heal people, they know how to tactics to striker, no one asks why, and what's even more ridiculous is that everyone is happy to do it.

Wu Yejiang couldn't understand for a while, what good was it for them to protect that group of weak humans? Why do they live for others? But over time, she stopped dwelling on them, because she found the questions boring.

Whenever other tribes provoked, the elders would organize them to fight after receiving a request for help from the King of Deep Eyes. For Wu Ye, she kills a few more enemies when she is happy, and perfunctory when she is unhappy, she does these things without the blood of others, and she is not happy to win or expand the size of the tribe. The reason why she stayed in the Wuye family was because she didn't have any places of interest to go.

Wu Ye Jiang once wondered, why did he live in this world? She knew that if she asked the elders, they would say that it was to protect the tribe. That's a naïve answer, isn't it? How could she, Wu Ye Jiang, live for that group of weak and stupid humans!

"Wu Yejiang, today is the day when the king came here to worship, everyone has gone to the altar, why are you still sitting here? It can't be forgotten, right? Alan's smiling face suddenly magnified in front of her eyes.

"I forgot." Wu Ye Jiang replied, thinking, does she have to remember such a boring thing?

"Eh, you're so forgetful, such an important thing! Hurry up, hurry up, go away! Ah Lan couldn't help but pull her up and ran in the direction of the altar.

Wu Ye Jiang pursed his lips and reluctantly lifted his steps. Ah Lan is a witch doctor, and she is the only one who smiles innocently at her, because the rest of the people are not willing to show a smile to a person who always has a straight face, only Ah Lan doesn't mind, and smiles at everyone.
