The young man led the way, with Lake and Filly behind, both of whom knew what was important, and it was not too late to settle the matter and argue about what was between them.

Out of curiosity, both Kerx and Bertha came out to see what was going on.

Not far away, a faint light came, and through the portable lamps, you could see a lot of people gathered there.

"What the hell is going on?"

Lake couldn't help but ask, but then his face changed, and as the distance closed, he could already faintly see the situation not far away.

"Look, the patriarch is here!"

"Patriarch!"

Everyone saw Lake and the others coming, their faces full of sadness and anger.

Pushing through the crowd, Lake finally saw what was going on inside.

A middle-aged man was lying on the ground, his throat was bloody and fleshy, his face was twisted and purple, his body was stiff, apparently dead, and his clothes were torn to pieces.

In addition to the fatal wound on his throat, the middle-aged man also had many claw marks on his body, which were obviously not left by humans.

Seeing those claw marks, Ryke's eyes froze.

"What's going on?"

He said in a deep voice, even at this time, he still kept calm, so that Fox couldn't help but look up, worthy of being the patriarch of the tribe, not to mention the rest, just this calm and calm is worthy of praise.

"I don't know, just now when someone went to take care of the cattle and sheep, they suddenly found Lobi's corpse. Someone in the crowd said.

"Uncle Lobie? No, how can this be. Fili seemed to have just reacted, with a look of disbelief, Lobi was very good to Fili, and often took him to play when he was a child, because Lobi had no children, so he treated Fili like a son.

But the other party was now a cold corpse, lying on the ground.

"Lobi is usually hearty and thick, and he has never been married in his life, how could he end up like this·······"

Everyone said politely.

"Lobie's injuries were caused by beasts, right? And Lobi is a good hand in the tribe, born with great strength, how could he be so easily defeated by beasts?"

Someone in the crowd questioned it.

Lake frowned, pensive, as if he had a vague guess.

"Warcraft. ”

And all the people looked at it.

Everyone was watching, but Fox was unmoved and continued.

"It was an adult monster that killed him. ”

Kerks's words were like a boulder falling into a lake, causing ripples, and the crowd suddenly became noisy and questioned.

"What, Warcraft!"

"How can there be a monster here!"

Ryker's brow furrowed, and after half a sound, he asked, "Are you sure?"

"There was still a trace of residual magic energy fluctuations on his body. ”

Nexus said lightly.

"Hmph, something like this happened to you as soon as you came, I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with you, patriarch, don't be deceived by them!"

A man who looked to be in his thirties, with a thin face and a mustache, said with a gloomy face.

Listening to the man's words, the other people looked at X and Bertha with a hint of suspicion, after all, they were outsiders, and if something happened as soon as they came, it would not be possible to make people suspicious.

"This guy still has magic energy fluctuations on his body, but I didn't notice it at all just now, which means that he didn't die in the tribe, and the injuries on his body are very new, and the time of death should not be long, but I have been staying in your patriarch's tent since I came. ”

Nexus is a little funny, actually doubting himself?

"Moreover, I have no grievances with him, I am here for the first time, why kill him?"

"These are all your words, why should I believe you? You may have been sent by Baron Dub! Patriarch, we should control him and investigate clearly!"

The thin-faced man continued to say in a cold voice, What if Kerry is a magician? After all, he looks too young on the outside, even if a young man of this age is from a wealthy noble, at most he is a trainee magician, and so many people in the tribe can't take him.

As for Bertha next to X, she was directly ignored by him, and it seemed that she was just a maid.

Baron Dubber, what is this?

Nexus was speechless, although his stranger was indeed suspicious from the other party's standpoint, but he was very upset to be targeted inexplicably.

Looking at Lake, he wondered what the other party would do, after all, the other party was the main person in the tribe.

Lake stood up, and then said: "Everyone take turns to be on guard tonight, be careful, to prevent any more accidents, Lobie's body, bury it well." Tomorrow, the investigation will continue. ”

"Yes, Patriarch!"

The man who had been suspicious of Kerkes turned a little ugly, but he didn't say anything more, in this tribe, the patriarch has a very great authority, although there was an argument just now, but when Lake officially gave the order, everyone acted quickly.

Lake came to Kerx and asked again, "Are you really sure?"

"Yes, he was indeed brought in after being killed by a demonic beast outside, and it should only be a first-level demonic beast. ”

Nexus thought for a moment, replied, and then said with some curiosity, "Don't you doubt me?"

"If it were you, you wouldn't have to say so much, and there's no need to stay in our tribe. Lake said bluntly.

"Do you have any thoughts on this?"

Fox said lightly: "I don't know anything else." ”

It's not like he's hiding anything, the residual magic energy fluctuations on the other party's body He judged that the other party was killed by a demonic beast whose strength was about the first level, but he really didn't know the rest.

Lake's face became a little cloudy, and finally, he sighed and said, "In our grassland, there are many small tribes like us, we have been herding cattle for generations, and we have relatively little communication with the outside world, so we are in a relatively independent state.

The town closest to our steppe, Bonoor, had changed rulers a year ago, and the newly appointed Baron Duber was ambitious to bring our entire steppe under his rule, and some tribes succumbed to the pressure of the other party, while others were unwilling to submit to him. ”

"What's wrong with accepting the rule of Baron Dube?" Bertha next to her suddenly interjected.

"Baron Dub was insidious and cruel to the common people, and he fell in love with the wife of the head of a small tribe, and brutally slaughtered the entire rebellious tribe just because the other party did not agree

He was also a vampire who ruthlessly exploited the commoners, and who often had to pay large sums of money even if they were subservient to his tribes, and those who had submitted suffered greatly. ”

Lake's eyes were full of anger.

"After that time, more and more tribes obeyed him out of fear, and the pressure on us naturally became more and more intense, although I am the patriarch, I can't let the whole tribe accompany me to death. Recently they have been pressuring and even killing our livestock as a warning. ”

"So, you suspect that they killed the man, and it was an ultimatum to you?"

"Yes, but Baron Duber is a second-level mage, and he has many subordinates, how can a small tribe like ours be an opponent?

Perhaps, I was wrong to prevent Fili from attending the Awakening Ritual, this is a mage's world after all. ”

Lake seemed to have suddenly aged ten years, and there was a deep helplessness on his face.

Kerr didn't say anything, just looked at him deeply.

··········

Under the nervous vigilance of the tribesmen, the night passed without any other accidents.

Nexus practiced all night, while Bertha rested in a room vacated in the tent, after all, they were just passing by, and what happened here really had nothing to do with them.

Early in the morning, Kex was immersed in meditation and cultivation, and the magic energy particles from the outside world were constantly attracted to his body, and the magic energy cyclone was slowly turning, and the stored magic energy had reached the theoretical limit.

Breaking through the intermediate magic energy master is to compress and condense the magic energy cyclone that is now in a gaseous state into a liquid state, and through this method, the purpose of storing more magic energy can be achieved.

Not only is the amount of magic energy reserves increased, but the liquefied magic energy is also purer and more powerful than the gaseous magic energy, so going from level three to level four is a hurdle, and becoming an intermediate magic master will greatly increase the power of magic spells.

Unless someone like Tsux has the power of a dragon's sigh and is a special case of necromancy and water magic spells at the same time, it is simply impossible for others to fight at level 3 and mid.

"It's almost there, it's just a little bit ········"

Kox opened his eyes and finished his meditation, he was only one step away from breaking through to a fourth-level magician.

"Before reaching Arthur City, we will definitely be able to break through, and there should be a huge improvement in strength at that time, and then we will have more confidence. ”

Thinking like this, he suddenly heard a commotion outside.

·········

"Where's Ryker, let him out!"

A young man in brown leather armor with a flying face shouted, he was on a horse, and behind him was a small group of heavily armed and armored soldiers.

And next to him, there was a man shrouded in black robes, unable to see his face clearly, and not saying a word.

The tribe looked at them with resentment and a hint of fear hidden in their eyes.

"Damn, what is the son of Baron Dub here for?"

"Shhh, be quiet, don't let him hear it, I heard that he, like Duber, likes to abuse and kill others the most, be careful of being retaliated by him!"

After a while, Lake walked out of the crowd, saw the arrogant young man, his face was a little ugly, and he squeezed out a smile and said, "Isn't this Young Master Dia?

"Oh, you don't know? Did your tribe die yesterday with a man named Lobi?"

Dia looked teasing.

"How do you know?"

Lake's face changed.

"Hehe, Lake, not everyone is as stubborn as you, there are always smart people who make wise choices. ”

The people of the tribe were in an uproar.

"Impossible, could it be that someone has betrayed the tribe and taken refuge in Baron Duber?"

"How else would he have known about Lobie? This only happened last night!"

"No, it's possible that they did it·······"

The tribesmen looked at each other with a faint hint of suspicion in their eyes.
