The armadillo chief took a deep breath and said slowly, "Actually, Broken Ling is not wary of foreigners because he is afraid that his clansmen will become slaves. Rather, there is an enemy out there who is always looking for us, and he is on the lookout for the enemies of our tribe. ”

This armadillo chief repeated so repeatedly, Ye Xi had reservations about his words: "Your enemy?"

The armadillo chieftain was old and refined, and when he saw that Ye Xi's attitude had changed, he gritted his teeth and simply said: "Yes, it's the Xiling clan!"

Xiling Clan?Ye Xi smashed the name and felt a little novel. In his limited experience, the communities he encountered were all called "clans", such as the cave rabbit clan and the tree people. Communities made up of ordinary people are called "tribes". What is the strange name of this "clan"?

Seeing that Ye Xi did not show a shocked or abrupt look, but a puzzled expression, the armadillo chief couldn't help but blurt out, "My lord, haven't you heard of it?"

Ye Xi said calmly: "I came from a very distant place, and I really haven't heard of this Xiling clan. ”

Hearing Ye Xi say this, the armadillo chief became happy instead, rubbed his hands and said, "It seems that your tribe is indeed very far away, so it's better!"

Ye Xi: "Aren't you afraid that I'm from the Xiling clan?"

"The people of the Xiling clan all have tattoos on their foreheads, and you can tell at a glance that they are not their people. Don't blame you, the little guys of our tribe always listen to our older generation to be careful of the enemies outside, and over time, they become very wary of all foreigners. ”

Ye Xi nodded and asked, "Then why are you telling me this now?"

"Because I still want my people to follow you to your tribe!"

"It's not realistic to go back to the tribe with me, it's too far. ”

Armadillo Chief: "This problem can be solved, we have something to protect ourselves on the road and won't hold you back." ”

Ye Xi looked at the black-scaled tiger lying in a pool of blood and was silent.

Even he didn't dare to say that he could protect himself for such a long distance, and there must be countless fierce beasts and insects. And if they have a treasure, how can they not even resist a barbarian beast?

The armadillo chief hurriedly said, "I really didn't lie to you!"

"You may not know that our tribe was also glorious a long time ago, and there was a very great witch on the ancestor, and our tribe still retains a few blessed dominoes made by that ancestor in the ancestral land. ”

"Two of the blessed dominoes are stealing dominoes! It can help creatures within a radius of ten meters to conceal their breath, so that our breath is like stone, so that the beasts and insects will lose interest in us!"

"When our tribe was destroyed, it was they who escaped!"

"We don't have many people, we can overcome it with a squeeze!Those two blessed dominoes are enough to shelter all of us all the way back to your tribe!"

A blessed domino that can hide the breath?

Because he was deceived by the armadillo chief once, this time Ye Xi carefully observed the expressions of the other people around him, and saw that everyone's expressions were not abnormal, so he was sure that what the armadillo chief said this time should be true.

"Since there are such dominoes, you shouldn't be afraid of the black-scaled tiger. ”

The armadillo chief smiled bitterly: "No matter how powerful it is, it has a time limit, I estimate that they will be enough for us to use continuously for a year or two at most, how can we be willing to use them all the time." And it has to be a warrior to be excited, and then none of our fighters can be excited. ”

Ye Xi nodded in understanding: "There is another question, why do you insist on going back to my tribe with me?"

The armadillo chief looked at Ye Xi and said, "Because you have a good heart." ”

"You were furious that the black-scaled tiger ate our people, and you killed the black-scaled tiger in anger, and later saw that we were injured by the tiger's roar, and took out precious herbs for us to eat. ”

"I don't know what happens to the rest of your tribe, but you're certainly not evil. ”

The armadillo chief said slowly, "If you were born in a small tribe, then in terms of your ability to kill barbarian beasts, your status in your tribe must be very high. And if you were born into a large tribe, your status in the tribe will certainly not be low in terms of your age and talent. ”

"Our people follow you back to your tribe, and you will surely have the ability to protect us from being trampled on. ”

Even this seemingly humble old man has his own wisdom for survival.

Ye Xi sighed and said, "Indeed, if you really follow me all the way back to the tribe, I will ask our chief to take you as a clansman, not a slave." ”

When everyone around heard this, they were very excited, not to become slaves! but to be a clansman! The armadillo chief was also very excited, and felt that he had made the right bet.

Ye Xi smiled and said, "Okay, since you have a blessed domino with a hidden aura, then I'm not afraid to bring you." ”

When the armadillo chief heard this, he slowly restrained his smile, but blushed and said, "My lord, if you want to take this domino, you will ...... I still need your help. ”

Ye Xi: "You say." ”

Armadillo Chief: "The dominoes are placed in a special place, and only the successive witches and chiefs of our tribe can enter. ”

"Witches can come and go there at will, but the chief must activate a special token to get in. Our tribe is now gone, and only an old man like me is the chief. But even though my name is a chief, I'm actually just an ordinary person, not even a warrior, so I can't even inspire tokens, and I can't enter that place at all. ”

Ye Xi nodded.

The armadillo chief entered the cave and took out a fist-sized topaz from the cave: "This is the token of the previous chiefs of our tribe. My lord, although you are not from our tribe, as long as you stimulate it, it is still no problem to pretend to be the chief of our tribe in a short time. ”

The armadillo chief held the piece of topaz that radiated a glow in his palm, and looked at Ye Xi with a blank eye.

Ye Xi thought for a while and said, "I have to go there first to see before I can decide whether to agree to you or not." ”

The place where he needed a token to enter must be dangerous, and he couldn't rush to it.

The armadillo chieftain took back the topaz, and he could see that he was a little depressed, but his mouth said again and again: "That's nature, that's nature." ”

Ye Xi: "This matter is not in a hurry, there must be strange flowers and plants in the territory of the Black Scale Tiger, I will go and get it first, lest it be intercepted by other things, and then discuss the matter of taking dominoes when I come back." ”

Armadillo Chief: "My lord, the Black-scaled Tiger's lair is in the same place I said!"

Ye Xi paused and said, "Then you can go with me." ”

............

Ye Xi and the armadillo chieftain walked through the bushes of fern leaves to the black-scaled tiger's lair.

It is a tall and handsome mountain, and the cave at the bottom is large and deep, and from the edge of the stone wall, it looks like it has been dug artificially, and it is very smooth, and there is no end in sight of the black hole at a glance. There is a fishy smell unique to beasts blowing from the cave.

The armadillo chief looked at the cave with emotion, his face wrinkled like old bark showed sad emotions, and he said slowly in a hoarse voice:

"Our tribe lived here a long time ago, and then the whole tribe moved outside for various reasons. As a result, the tribe was defeated, and we returned here, but the black-scaled tiger took over the place again, and we had no choice but to find another place to live nearby. ”

Ye Xi: "I haven't asked you what the name of your tribe is." ”

This was originally a very ordinary question, but when the armadillo chief heard it, his whole body froze, and he said after a long while: "We have become like this now, and we originally didn't have the face to mention the name of the tribe again, but since you asked, I will definitely have to answer you." ”

"Our tribe is called the Xia tribe. ”
