Wu Qi watched the gray robe and his companion out of his line of sight. It was one of the few things he could do. The shaman was well aware that at first glance the situation in front of the Shale tribe had been stirred up by Cheese and his companions, but in fact, both the rift that devoured his hut and the approaching Skin-Bearers had already sought out the Shale tribe long before the arrival of the Grey Robes. It's just that they didn't notice or have the ability to face it at the time, and the appearance of Cheese made it clear to them what they were facing.

For example, it only took a short time for Wu Qi to figure out the worms that were picked out from the people, and if those worms were worthy of some being piercing the ground to take them from their hands, then they would definitely do much more harm than that. They may not be the only worms hidden in the Shale Division, and it is likely that there are other parasites who are unaware of the hidden dangers due to their bodies and the parts of the parasite. The consequence of allowing these parasites to develop is likely to be that entire tribes are eaten into empty shells from within. It's a terrifying future just to think about, and Wu Qi has decided to run a parasite screening for everyone in his entire clan. The premise is that they can survive the skinner's attack.

In fact, when it comes to this terrifying name, the shaman has no more energy to fear. Because the tribe's defenses have been destroyed, and the enemy's declaration of war has been issued, it is really true to fear their power at this time... It's not very useful. Moreover, Cheese said one thing wrong when he left, it is true that the steppe people believe in spirits, and it is not true that the shaman is the attendant of the spirits in the crowd. But those who are truly in this belief know that spirits never bless a person or an individual. For the spirits are with mortals.

"All living and non-living beings, all sentient beings and all inexorable, are all spirits. The spirits are one, and the one is all. Seeing the last bit of the gray robe disappear on the horizon, Wu Qi whispered. He looked up at the sun, which had passed its highest point. He lowered his head again and looked at the cracks in the ground, "The problems have to be solved one by one." Parasites don't kill their hosts all at once. But angry jackals will tear their prey apart at once. ”

As the shaman returned to his people with heavy steps, the men of the tribe were building defenses on the edge of the tribe, which were nothing more than trenches or traps on the ground. The lack of wood meant they couldn't build a decent fence or keep horses away. Such fortifications are enough for the beasts. Even if they were a little more careful, they would be able to deal a head-on blow to the incoming enemy. But their opponents were not wild beasts and other herdsmen.

"You're wasting their energy on them. Wu Qi didn't say any pleasantries, and after entering the tent of the head man, he spoke to Uvel, who was wiping his scimitar.

Uvel did not reply, and continued to silently wipe the weapon worn by his father, which was said to have killed dozens of enemies. After the silk scarf that wiped the blade was dry, he dipped some wine and continued wiping. A man wants to drink wine, and the sword wants to drink not only blood, but also wine. "The outsiders are gone?"

"They shouldn't have been here!" Wu Qi heard an unusual indifference in the headman's tone, which was not the tone the headman should have now. As a result, the shaman rarely raised his pitch and volume when speaking as a way to express his dissatisfaction. He succeeded, and Uvel stopped what he was doing and slowly raised his head.

"It's a pity. They'd be good targets. Maybe they're there, and those skinners will let a few of the Shale people go. ”

The shaman was stunned for a few seconds, he couldn't believe that the words came from the mouth of the person in front of him. He was Uvel, the head of the tribe of Shale, and the brother with whom he had grown. How could he say such a thing? Immediately after, Wu Qi noticed something, Uvel's eyes. Originally, the eyes of the people of the Shale tribe were gray, or blue-gray to be exact, a color reminiscent of the eyes of wolves and eagles. But now, the person who was talking to Wu Qi had more cyan than it had in his eyes, taking on a jewel-like olive green.

Wu Qi knows what kind of person has such eyes. Those who sell their souls, whose eyes can no longer be used as stoppers to keep their souls in their shells, will use precious stones to make their eyes for disguise. The camouflage is ingenious, the color of the gemstone is given by light, and the light comes not only from the outside, but also from the inside. Those who have sold their souls can easily fool most people by changing the color they emit from within, mixing the natural color of the gemstone.

"So that's why you're postponing the wedding? You don't want your wife to find out that her husband has to put his eyes out on the bedside before going to bed at night?" Wu Qi was referring to the marriage that Uvel had postponed three times and twice before and the daughter of the head of the Teller Ministry, which he called Uncle Mautun's daughter. The people of the steppe are fierce, and marriage has nothing to do with age, and those powerful big clan leaders and their heirs may even marry at the age of five or six. And Uvel served as the head of the Charle tribe a few years ago, and he already had the capital to get married, and the Teller tribe has been signaling marriage, but Uvel has delayed this matter until the spring of next year on the grounds that he is still young when he first took charge of the clan.

"No, I got this pair of eyes just now. Before you entered the tent, I gouged out my own eyeballs with my father's knife. But you know what? I thought I would hate you, and I wouldn't have gotten this far if it weren't for your protection of outsiders. Those skinners will be used by me, we will take advantage of Shan Yu's death, I will integrate the three, and then take over all the authority of Shan Yu, and I will become the new Shan Yu. You've made me lose these, my friend. But I now realize that I don't hate you, and I even have to be grateful to you. ”

Uvel stood up, scimitar in hand, "I've never felt so good. Really, since I was born, I've never been so free. It's a great freedom, can you understand? Oh, of course you can, you're the darling of the spirits, you can possess the eagle, you can possess the wolf, they will agree. You're not like us, poor. Poor in their own bodies, poor in their tribes and in their cattle and sheep. But don't worry, I won't leave yours behind, you are my people, you are my siblings, and I will bring this freedom to you, all of you. ”
