The tense atmosphere eased again, and an internal strife was dissolved.

Ye Xi returned to the truth and asked the chiefs of the Nu River Valley: "Don't you all know where the snake people live?"

The Falcon Chief shook his head and said, "Although we cross the Nu River to trade here every year, we have never seen snake people come to trade, but we have only heard people from other tribes mention it by chance. We haven't asked about the snake people either, we're just here to trade items, and we don't care about that...... All they seem to live in the easternmost part of the country. ”

Chief Gongtao: "Yes, the snake people have never been seen in the trading area. ”

Chief Tu Shan's voice was calm: "It is impossible for the snake people to live in this strange forest, otherwise they would have been blown up and killed. ”

Chief Ye frowned: "But the easternmost location is too vague, where should we find it?"

"I think I can look around along this forest. Said the chief of the stinging tribe.

Shepherd: "But I think maybe the snake people have run away with meteorites on their backs, and it is not necessary to look for a place to live elsewhere like us, we must hurry up and catch up with them." ”

Chief Gongtao raised his hand to stop everyone from continuing the discussion: "I don't think the snake people can't live in this forest. ”

Everyone was silent.

He raised his chin at the group of venomous snakes that had not yet dispersed in the expansive forest, "Aren't those neighing vipers living well in this forest?"

"If snake people are like them and don't like to talk, then this forest, which is terrible for other animals, is the best protective barrier for them. ”

Everyone thought about it quietly and found that this possibility was quite high.

Inhumans themselves have some unique racial habits, just like burrowing rabbits with long ears and burrowing, just like treemen like to stick themselves in the ground.

So it's normal for snake people to not like to talk or even to speak.

Ye Xi also smiled approvingly and said, "Chief Gongtao is right. ”

At this time, the chief of Manggu suddenly showed a fierce look, and suggested: "In this case, why don't we just set fire to this forest! If the snake people are there, then it is just right, the fire will definitely force them out, and we can also take the opportunity to kill them." If not, it's no loss to us!"

"Yes! Meteorites are not afraid of fire, they can't be burned!" Chief Ganqi clapped his palm and said excitedly.

The eyes of the crowd also lit up, and they all said that it was a good idea.

Ye Xi was silent.

In the previous life, even the most vicious and cruel robbers and murderers killed people at most.

But the primitive people living in this savage land, without knowing whether the snake people are good or evil, can not hesitate to kill the snake people for the meteorite, and even set fire to the forest, without the slightest psychological burden.

Ye Xi can wear animal skins like them, drink raw blood, slaughter vicious beasts, resist bad weather, and have a tenacious vitality like weeds in the cracks of stones.

But at this point, he knew that he would never be able to assimilate with them.

"No, don't burn it yet. ”

Everyone looked at Ye Xi.

Ye Xi sighed in his heart.

The reason why it didn't stop everyone from looking for the snake people in the first place. First, if you stop everyone, it will inevitably cause everyone's dissatisfaction and estrangement against him, and it will shake his leadership position in the team in the future. The second reason is that he wants to find the snake people and see what they are like first.

If the snake man and the winged man and the mermaid are similar, the kind of race whose beast nature is greater than human nature, then he will not hesitate to kill them and snatch the meteorite.

But if they are a gentle race like the burrowing rabbits, or a shy and kind race, then he really can't do it. He will try his best to persuade everyone, and if he can't persuade them, he will also snatch the hedron with the least amount of bloodshed.

Ye Xi turned to look at the Falcon Chieftain and said softly, "Falcon Chief, I have something to ask you. ”

The Falcon Chief was extremely grateful to Ye Xi because Ye Xi had helped him speak just now, and he didn't know how to repay him, but now he was really surprised and happy to hear that Ye Xi needed his help, and said in a loud voice.

"Lord Xiwu, if you have anything, don't hesitate to say anything!"

The falcon on the shoulders of the Falcon Chief also had black eyes the size of mung beans, staring at Ye Xi for a moment.

Ye Xi: "I would like to ask the falcons of your tribe to go to this forest again to investigate carefully to see if there are any traces of snake people or snake people's lives." Of course, if there are signs of other powerful creatures, that's fine. ”

The Falcon Chief wanted to say yes when he heard this, but before he could speak.

"W-"

The falcon on his shoulder was the first to call in a high-pitched and melodious voice.

Then he flapped his wings and flew straight into the sky, hovering low in the air.

With this loud chirp, the other falcons lying on the shoulders of the Falcon tribe suddenly flew together,

The Falcon Chief immediately looked up to find his falcon, his lips pursed and rolled in his Adam's apple, and several birdsong that resembled the call of a falcon appeared.

He was answered by a high-pitched chirp.

"W-"

"W-w-w-"

After hearing this, the Falcon Chief shook his head with a smile, retracted his gaze and looked at Ye Xi, the corners of his dark and rough eyes were stacked with layers of laugh lines, and said loudly: "Black Wind also wants to repay you!

Hundreds of falcons gather together and chirp constantly.

After a few moments, all the blue-black falcons were quiet, and they spread their wings and glided, like a sleek and sharp reconnaissance plane, silently sinking into the expansive forest.

An hour later.

One by one, the falcons returned from the expansive forest.

They landed on the shoulders of their respective owners and chirped in low voices.

The Falcon tribesmen talk to the Falcon in bird language and report back to the Falcon chieftain.

Ye Xi was also listening to the report and found that none of these falcons found any traces of the existence of snake people. And the Falcon Chieftain's bird named Blackwind didn't return until very late.

It folded its wings and rested on the shoulders of the Falcon chieftain, opening its hook-like beak in a series of eagle chirps.

When the chieftain heard this, his eyes lit up, his expression was full of surprise, and he let out the sound of an eagle in his mouth. At the end, he excitedly said to Ye Xi: "Black Wind, it has found the snake people! They are in the deepest part of the forest!"

Ye Xi was also excited: "Okay!"

"Good job, Black Wind!" he complimented.

"W-"

The black wind chirped loudly, and its small chest stood up proudly, and with its shiny feathers, it looked like a great horse.

Ye Xi called the chiefs of the tribes together again, and then said to them: "I plan to go to the snake people alone to have a look, you wait where you are first." ”

"No, it's too dangerous!" Chief Tushan disagreed, "I'll go with you!"

The other chiefs disagreed, seeing it unnecessary.

Ye Xi said firmly: "I have already decided, I don't need to persuade again." ”

After saying that, he said a few more words to the Great Witch of the Treant Clan and the Chief of the Roaring Tribe, before beckoning to Quack, turning over and jumping onto its back.

Quack carried him and flew over the swelling forest.
