Chapter 348: Accusations
After the explosion there was utter silence.
The only sounds in the air were the crawling of poisonous snakes, the heavy gasps of the crowd, and the muffled cries of the wounded.
Margins of expansive forests.
The ground here also seems to have been subjected to a small meteor shower, and the ground has been pierced by countless fragments of husks and seeds, leaving deep craters one after another. Not to mention the ground in the forest, which had been shot into a hornet's nest, and even the trees had been deeply embedded with many sharp fragments.
Those who survived all looked around with trepidation, and their hearts were terrified.
If it had been a step too late, they would have been killed by the fruit and covered with poisonous snakes. With an explosion of this magnitude, even the soldiers would be injured and killed, because they were only flesh and blood.
The Chief of Ganqi, who was riding high on the back of the liger, looked at the expansive forest in horror, as if he had seen this forest for the first time:
"What's going on? How could the fruit of this tree suddenly explode?"
The world is so big.
The torch on the side was also shocked when he remembered the scene just now, and a huge man was shocked into a cold sweat on his back: "If we hadn't come out just now, I'm afraid the end would not be much better than those Qiang tribesmen!"
The liger beast under their crotch was restless, and when they came to their senses, they roared and paced in circles.
"yes......"
Chief Ganqi stroked his face heavily.
This time the Qiang tribesmen lost too much, their tribe was originally small, and now there are less than 100 people, and all the Qiang tribesmen are getting along day and night with deep feelings, this time the sudden disaster, many people can not accept this fact, grief, the bitter cry is sad.
But Chief Ganqi didn't know how many tribesmen he had seen, and when he saw the miserable appearance of other tribes, he naturally wouldn't react, he was just strange.
"What kind of tree is this? I've never seen it before, and it can explode!"
At this time, Chief Ye and Ye Xi were walking back from the front, and when Chief Ye heard it, he stopped and replied, "This is the Expansion Tree." ”
When Chief Ganqi and Ju saw Ye Xi, they immediately jumped off the back of the lion and tiger beast.
This is the second time Ye Xi has saved their lives.
If you want to say that the torch still had a comparative heart for Ye Xi in the past, then after Ye Xi protected them with the ancestral witch bone staff, it was completely gone, and now there is only respect and gratitude.
Chief Ye continued: "This kind of tree can't stand the noise, and when it hears it, it flatulates and explodes, killing the birds and beasts that enter the forest and turning them into its own nourishment. ”
Chief Ganqi was surprised: "Hey, if there is a thunderstorm, won't this forest be finished?"
Chief Ye didn't know much about this kind of tree, so he pondered for a moment and said uncertainly: "This kind of tree may only be sensitive to animal sounds. ”
Otherwise, it would have been extinct long ago.
At this time, the chiefs of other tribes also came.
Chief Gongtao first saluted Ye Xi, with genuine gratitude on his face: "Lord Xiwu, I really thanked you just now!"
He had just heard a few people talking, and he knew how terrible the forest was, and how dangerous their situation was. If it were someone else, they might all be lying inside.
Ye Xi shook his head: "Don't thank me, you should thank Chief Ye, it was he who recognized this kind of tree, otherwise I wouldn't have known that there was a tree that would explode at the first sound of a sound." ”
Chief Ye smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that I only found out after I walked into the forest, if only I had found out that this forest was full of this kind of tree earlier." ”
The other chiefs hurriedly comforted and thanked them.
This time, it was also thanks to Chief Ye who recognized it, saving them from the danger of being exterminated, how could they blame Chief Ye.
But......
Chief Gongtao looked at the Falcon Chieftain, the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared, and asked in a cold voice, "Didn't the falcons of your tribe find the way, how could they not find the anomaly of this forest?"
Chief Ganqi and the others also suppressed their smiles at Chief Ye and looked at Chief Falcon with cold expressions.
I almost got planted in it this time!
Even they can't escape!
Cold sweat broke out on the bow of the Falcon Chief, and he smiled at the Gongtao Chief, "This ...... Falcon birds don't usually like to call, so they didn't notice the danger of this forest, sorry. ”
The Mantooth Chief immediately snorted coldly and asked, "There are no other living creatures in this forest except snakes and insects, don't your falcons notice that something is wrong?!"
The Falcon Chief is afraid of the strength of the Gongtao tribe, and will smile at the Gongtao Chieftain, but he will not be afraid of the Barbarian Tooth Chieftain who is equal to their strength, and immediately pushed back in a stiff voice when he heard this: "We usually only let the Falcon check the dangerous beast, and if it didn't find it, it reported that there was no one here, is there any problem?"
Seeing the Falcon Chief like this, the Manfang Chief suddenly burst into flames, and said in a fat throat: "The problem is big, this time we are lucky, what should we do if we encounter such a situation in the future?"
The Bloodstreaked Chief also accused the Falcon Chief: "Indeed, this time it was because you said it was safe that we rushed in stupidly!"
The fat reckless chief was so excited that his flesh was shaking: "We almost wiped out the clan!"
Chief Qiang had been gloomy and grief-stricken since the beginning, and he had not thought that this was the Falcon Chieftain's problem, but now he could not help but resent the Falcon Chieftain.
It's just that the strength of the Qiang tribe is much weaker than that of the Falcon tribe, and they don't dare to turn their faces openly, but just look at the Falcon chief with a cold gaze.
The blue-gray falcons standing on the shoulders of the chieftain seemed to understand human speech, and knew that they had made a mistake, and their heads drooped and looked dejected.
Hearing everyone's accusations, the Falcon Chief was extremely angry, pointing at the Bloodline Chieftain, the Barbarian Tooth Chieftain and the Reckless Chieftain and said angrily: "Our Falcon tribe at least sent the Falcon to explore the way, and your Bloodstreak Tribe and the Mangmu Tribe have sent your war pets to explore the way?!"
The Manfang Chief said in a strange voice, "If we have a falcon, of course we will send them to explore the way, and they will train well, so as not to trap everyone to death." ”
The Falcon Chief was furious and pointed at the Barbarian Chieftain's nose: "You ......"
Chief Ganqi waved his big hand, his voice was like a bell, and his tone was unquestionable: "Okay, this time it's your Falcon tribe that hasn't done a good job! You Falcon still need more training, and the outside is no better than our former territory!"
The Falcon chieftain did not dare to offend the Ganqi tribe.
His chest rose and fell violently twice, and he said with a grin, "I know, we'll train them later." ”
The falcon on his shoulder seemed to know that he had caused trouble for his master this time, and it squawled pitifully. But there was no response.
Ye Xi had been quietly waiting for them to say, and only now did he say coldly: "Okay, don't blame the Falcon Chief. ”
The stunned expressions on everyone's faces were closed, and their eyes turned to Ye Xi.
Ye Xi looked around at everyone and said lightly: "Since everyone is so dissatisfied with the falcon's exploration, then in this way, in the future, each tribe will draw a few warriors to form a vanguard team to help everyone find out the situation ahead in advance." ”
The chiefs looked at each other.
Eventually, Chief Yugang asked, "How many people do each tribe have to send?"
"What do you think?" Ye Xi smiled.
The Manfang Chief immediately interjected, "We have so many tribes, and each tribe has about two warriors. ”
"No, you can't always send a team to explore the way, and you have to choose a replacement. In my opinion, each tribe should send at least ten of them, and the strength should not be too weak, otherwise they will be sent to death. ”
Chief Qiang was puzzled: "Our tribe has suffered heavy casualties this time, can we send less? Only two?"
Chief Oxhorn also hurriedly said: "There are not many warriors in our tribe, can we send more warriors from the big tribes?
Chief Ganqi was not happy: "This is not fair, why do the big tribes send more people?"
What do you owe or what?
Everyone knows that the outside is extremely dangerous, and this selected pathfinder team must have a very high mortality rate, and they are not willing to send more people.
The crowd was noisy and shouting, and they couldn't come up with a result.
Ye Xi waited until they were almost arguing before he raised his voice: "Have you discussed the result? How many people are each tribe willing to send?"
The chiefs looked at each other.
Silent.
In the end, the most noisy Brute Tooth Chief glanced at the Falcon Chief and said, "Or, let the Falcon tribe train the Falcon one more time!
The Falcon Chief looked coldly.
After this argument, the other chieftains could no longer speak with confidence in their accusations, after all, the Falcon tribe had somehow helped them avoid the death of the Pathfinder.
The hatred in Chief Qiang's eyes gradually disappeared.
He figured out that if there were no Falcon tribes, they would still be plunged into the woods, so how could they blame their tribe this time?
Ye Xi said to everyone in a serious tone: "The task of the Falcon Chieftain is not easy to do, no one will praise and reward if you do a good job, and if you don't do it well, you will be blamed and resented by everyone, which is very unfair to the Falcon tribe." So I hope that such accusations will not happen again. ”
When the Falcon chieftain heard this, his nose suddenly soured, and his eyes turned red.
He hurriedly lowered his head to hide this embarrassment.
Even if he was questioned by everyone just now, he wasn't so excited, but now I don't know why, I can't control the red eyes and hot nose, and the chest is also hot. At the same time, his heart also swelled with endless gratitude to Ye Xi, and he just wanted to do something to repay him immediately.
And everyone was a little ashamed to say this.
They all reflected silently.
Chief Ganqi coughed and said to Chief Falcon, "What, forget it this time, just do a little better next time." "I've been in a high position for a long time, I can't put down the shelf, I am obviously apologetic, but the words are hard and ugly.
But Chief Gongtao said much more beautifully: "We were wrong just now, and we have to ask your tribe all the way." ”
Then the Manfang Chieftain: "It's us who are wrong. ”
......
With a hard or soft apology, the Falcon Chieftain's face finally stopped being aggrieved, and the Falcon on his shoulder stopped hanging its head, blinking its little eyes and raising its head again.
