Chapter 476: Wood Rat
Dong Muying was whined and screamed by the chief's thorns, covered in blood, and scrambled to dodge among the thorns, baring his teeth like a monkey.
At last she could not bear it anymore, and with a whistle called her shrike mount, and in an instant she ran away without a trace.
"Humph!"
Chief Thorn was still angry, threw away the thorn strip hatefully, adjusted his mood and returned to the crowd, and smiled apologetically at Ye Xi: "That little cub has blocked you, when she comes back, I will catch her and let you smoke it with your own hands to relieve your hatred!"
Ye Xi actually watched very well from the side.
But he smiled silently on his face and said, "Chief Thorn is too polite, she is not malicious offense, let this matter be revealed." ”
To be able to make the chiefs are all human spirits, Chief Thorn looked at Ye Xi's expression, and was very happy after distinguishing that he really didn't care, and said in a loud voice,
"Distinguished guests from afar, Wu from Xicheng, please be sure to show your face and let our Thorn Tribe entertain for a few days, we will entertain you with the most delicious food!"
In fact, there are two reasons why Chief Thorn is so enthusiastic.
One is because he admires Ye Xi's open-mindedness.
You must know that the witches of each tribe are respected and worshiped by their own people, which also causes most witches to have a high-minded mentality, and there are not many people like Ye Xi who are so tolerant when they are offended.
Another reason is that Chief Thorn has set his mind on finding a reliable ally for his tribe.
The Tianmang tribe was suddenly wiped out, and the thorn tribe that was weaker than the Tianmang tribe was not without fear, and now the strange insects and beasts were getting stronger and stronger, if it weren't for the special environment of their tribe, they would have been unable to support it a long time ago. If there is a strong tribe that can watch and help, they can also feel at ease.
With this in mind, Chief Thorn warmly pulled Ye Xi and insisted that he stay in the Thorn Tribe for a few more days.
Ye Xi agreed.
Night fell quickly.
The place where the Thorn Tribe entertained him to eat was a relatively spacious open space.
The thorn bushes here lack water and are very flammable, and the thorn vines in this clearing are nearly three meters above the ground, as long as you are careful when lighting a bonfire, the hot smoke column will not ignite the dry thorn vines around it, and it is a rare place in the thorn tribe where you can start a fire.
A freshly plucked wild-seeded horned pheasant was roasted over a campfire.
Dozens of Thorn tribesmen sat around each other.
The beeping sound of dry firewood, the golden tongue of fire licking the snow-white horned pheasant meat, constantly emitting heat and aroma in the night, the surrounding thorny tribesmen stirred their throats and secretly swallowed saliva.
Chief Thorn took out the salt shaker, sprinkled a handful of salt with his hands, and personally cut a horned pheasant leg with a bone dagger and handed it to Ye Xi.
Ye Xi: "Thank you. ”
Chief Thorn smiled and said, "You're welcome. ”
His men kept going, and cut a small piece of steaming horned pheasant meat and handed it to the Thorn Witch. The Thorny Witch took the slices of meat, tore the snow-white horned pheasant meat into strips, and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
The meat energy of the barbarian beast is high, and his body is not as strong as that of a warrior, so he must eat it slowly.
After the Thorn Chief had divided the meat among the two witches, he and the other Thorn tribesmen began to eat the dried corpses that hung on the thorns, which were dry, hard, and had a bad taste.
But there was no way, this place was only enough to light a bonfire, otherwise the thorn bushes might be ignited.
Ye Xi slowly nibbled on the hot horned pheasant meat.
He was surrounded by huge black thorns, and in the dark he thought he was in a cave, but the red moonlight and the night wind penetrated through the cracks in the thorns, and he knew that he was now under the thorns.
There were bare-bottomed children attracted by the scent, hiding in the distance, biting their fingers and staring at the barbecue on the campfire, drooling.
Ye Xi thought of the dead child in Xicheng, his heart softened, and he beckoned to the child.
The child staggered over.
Ye Xi gave him a small piece of horned pheasant meat, and asked gently, "How old is it?"
The child looked at Ye Xi vigilantly, did not speak, and suddenly stuffed all the horned pheasant meat into his mouth, raised his neck and swallowed it.
"Aja!"
The surrounding Thorn tribesmen suddenly shouted.
The energy of the barbarian beast meat is too domineering for a child, even the thorny witch has to eat it slowly, and this child may die under the impact of this powerful energy if he swallows the meat in one bite.
Ye Xi: "It's okay. ”
Before the child felt the heat and pain all over his body, Ye Xi had already held his wrist and slowly injected the magic power to evacuate the domineering energy in his body for him.
Ah Claw is young and vigilant, but he also knows that it is a good thing, he feels the warm feeling in his body, and looks at Ye Xi with his head tilted and his eyes shining.
Ye Xi smiled slightly and rubbed his head: "This meat has to be eaten slowly, don't be so reckless next time." ”
"Hmm!"
Ajaw nodded stupidly.
Ye Xi's actions just now won the favor of the Thorn tribesmen even more.
Thorny Witch smiled and asked, "Your guest is also a healer?"
Ye Xi let go of the child: "No, I'm Zhu Wu." ”
There was a bit of envy in the eyes of the thorny witch: "I wish the witch a good day, I can not only bless the warriors, but also use the blessing dominoes to defend the enemy, which is like our doctor witch can only save people." ”
Ye Xi laughed: "In our Xicheng, the witch doctor is more popular than the witch, there are too many witches like me, I don't usually need it, I still want to become a witch." ”
Thorn Wu also knew that Xicheng was a large tribal alliance, and there were more than thirty tribes living together in it, and when he heard Ye Xi take the initiative to mention it, he couldn't help but move his eyebrows slightly,
"I don't know how many Zhu Wu are in Xicheng, how many Heal Witches?"
Ye Xi did not hide it, and took the initiative to show his strength: "We have nearly twenty Zhu witches, six medical witches, eight curse witches and three divination witches, oh, there are two great witches among them, who are proficient in 'Zhu' and 'Bu' respectively. ”
"Great Witch?!"
All the Thorn tribesmen exclaimed.
Thorn Witch suppressed his excitement and said with a fascination: "There are actually two great witches in Xicheng! The demeanor of the great witch must be very outstanding, right?"
Ye Xi nodded with a smile.
"Yes, the two great witches are very respected in the city. ”
Thorn Witch stared wistfully at the golden bonfire.
In fact, he is only one step away from the Great Witch, but he just can't break through that shackle and step into a higher level. If the Great Witch can personally guide him, he may avoid a lot of detours, but unfortunately, as the only witch of the Thorn Tribe, he can't easily leave the tribe.
"Come, eat meat, eat meat!"
Chief Thorn cut a piece of horned pheasant meat with his own hands, and handed it to Ye Xi with both hands, his attitude was a little more enthusiastic than before.
Ye Xi took it, remembered something, and suddenly asked False Teeth: "I have seen many green-skinned giant rats in the Tianmang Tribe, are there many rats like this?"
Fang: "Yes, besides, there are also everywhere in the forest, and the grass is almost gnawed bald by them, are you interested in them?"
Ye Xi nodded: "Well, how much do you know about these rats?"
"We call these green-skinned rats wood rats, because they eat wood and eat everything from the core and bark to the roots, and they can destroy the whole tree." They will sometimes attack small animals, gnawing on their meat, internal organs, and bones, and eating grass, lichens, and moss when they are hungry...... There's basically nothing they don't eat. ”
"These guys are still very capable, after gnawing all the trees and turf in one place, they will move to another place in groups, if it weren't for the thorn finches of our tribe, these wood rats would be able to gnaw all the land within ten miles!"
Ye Xi's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Are these wood rats gnawing wood? It's better than he thought it would be.
Chief Thorn: "Do you like this wood rat?"
Ye Xi said frankly: "It's not a secret, we in Xicheng are trying to raise fierce beasts, but the fierce beasts have a lot of food, and it is difficult to feed them with the food hunted by the hunting team alone, so I thought about simply raising the food of the fierce beasts." ”
Chief Thorn and Thorn Witch looked at each other.
This Xicheng is actually trying to raise fierce beasts? So how big should this Xicheng's territory be? And aren't the children in the city afraid of the roar of the fierce beasts?
Hearing that Ye Xi was interested in wood rats, he patted his thigh and shouted: "If you like this wood rat, before leaving, I and Feimao will catch a hundred of them, our Feimao likes to catch wood rats the most!"
Ye Xi responded with a smile: "Okay, then please leave it to you and Feimao." ”
......
That night, the high-level leaders of the Thorn tribe entertained Ye Xi until late at night, and through conversation, Ye Xi had a clearer understanding of the Thorn tribe, and the people of the Thorn tribe also knew more and more about Xicheng and had a better impression.
