Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Hunter's Troubles
"It's the Hunters. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info seems...... Trouble is coming. Mu Yuan said softly, but there was no trace of worry in his tone.
Lu'er and Jin Ming also surrounded them, standing on the high ground and watching the sturdy hunters keep moving closer to them.
Sky suddenly turned around and ran towards the grass not far from them. Their horses were tied there, but now only a few reins remain. The two guardian beast vultures hovering over the night let out a piercing neigh, as if to tell him that they had let the horses go. But in the blink of an eye, a white shadow passed, and a vulture was caught in the mouth, while the other fled in a hurry.
"Let the guardian beasts of the two of you settle down a little, we shouldn't have a conflict with them, and the matter will be resolved before it is too big. Mu Yuan looked at the wolf and bear who were already grinning and ready to fight, and the fat little man who was frantically biting the vulture, and warned.
Qingkong nodded, beckoning the fat boy to return to his side, and Jin Ming also quieted the grumpy wolf bear a little.
Mu Yuan watched the dense crowd of hunters approach, unless they grew wings at this time...... No, even if they grow wings, they can't fly a few meters away in front of these hunters with accurate archery. If he fights hard, he can't kill a bloody way, but if he points his sword at his fellow clan, the university still can't do it, not to mention that they still have a long way to go in the wild west, and he doesn't want to be chased and killed by a group of people all day long. You must know that having a grudge with the Hunter is equivalent to having a grudge with the entire tribe of Terrans.
Seeing that the hunters had already walked up to the high ground, Qingkong's expression was solemn, and Jin Ming held the long dagger that cut the flesh tightly in his hand, and there was still a trace of horror in Lu'er's eyes.
When the hunters' group stood still, one of them rode forward on his horse. He was taller than the rest of the Hunters, holding a double-edged sword in his hand, and his simple armor only covered his crotch, revealing his muscles and scarred ...... His mount was a black fiery horse, with a large rhinoceros head buckled to the horse's head, revealing only two blood-red eyes. Next to him was his guardian beast, a huge steppe wolf, like a medium-sized horse, but at this time it did not show the ferocity it should be, but its narrow eyes actually flashed with fear......
The hunters had come up on their mounts with a look of contempt on their faces, for they had come here to catch the thieves who had stolen the sheep.
He was the small leader of the Hunter Clan in charge of this area, and he was drinking and having fun with his people at night. However, the guard outside the gate brought a frightened herdsman over when he was in the middle of his spirit. Originally, he disdained to pay attention to the small theft case, but according to the herdsmen, the sheep thief seemed to be from the urban Terran, and he also carried a fierce guardian beast. This aroused his interest, because as we all know, the tribal human race has always looked down on the human race living in the city, but he wanted to see what kind of fierce guardian beast the herdsman's mouth was, could it be that he brought the family's pet dog over?
However, when he really approached the group of young masters who he thought were pampered, and saw clearly the "pets" he had guessed, his square face twitched slightly.
"That's a wolf bear?!"
"Wolf Bear ......"
The hunters who came together whispered when they saw the monster beside Jin Ming that looked like a wolf but not a wolf, a bear and not a bear, and the guardian beast beside them also seemed to feel the fierce gaze of the wolf and bear, and was slightly restless.
"Quiet!" the lead hunter's roar echoed through the night sky. Then he looked at the giant beast and the young man beside him with suspicious eyes, and he saw it right, the size and appearance were not much different from the patriarch's guardian beast, but the size was much smaller. If it was really a wolf bear, he really didn't know what to do, not because he was afraid that he couldn't deal with it, but because the wolf and bear were the family emblem of their hunting clan, and it was for this reason that the original contemptuous expression turned serious.
After a short silence. Mu Yuan took a few steps forward, his eyes sharpening as he looked at the leading hunter. Mu Yuan saw the look of this group of hunters, and knew that this was a deterrent from wolves and bears, and he began to be glad that the people who came were the hunters, not the irascible dwarves, if they were here, they wouldn't care about you wolves and bears or dragons.
"May I ask the tribal warriors, what is the matter with all the warriors gathering here at such a late hour?" Mu Yuan did not panic in the slightest, and asked slowly, "Could it be that the roast sheep splashed with sesame oil was attracted here?" But unfortunately, we didn't leave that much for the warriors. ”
Qingkong couldn't help but admire the old scholar's courage at this time, and he was still joking with the other party under such a siege.
"Hmph, old man, you sneaked into our territory, and you dare to do anything wrong? The lead hunter said in a gruff voice.
"Oh?" Mu Yuan replied questioningly, he seemed to understand something, "Then who are you?"
"I am the leader of the eastern region of the West Wild of the Hunter Clan, Hans, and this area is under my jurisdiction. ”
"Then may I ask if we have violated the laws of the nobles and need you to come here to seek justice?" asked Mu Yuan.
The little leader of Hans clapped his hands, and several guards led the herdsman out of the ranks behind him, and then pointed to the fat sheep still roasting on the campfire, and said, "My people accuse you of robbing one of their sheep. ”
After listening to his words, Qingkong and Jin Ming were stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't help laughing, and even Lu'er, who was originally a little worried, couldn't help laughing.
Hans's expression was dark, and he was completely embarrassed by the ridicule of a group of weak teenagers, and if he hadn't had any scruples, his long sword would have been slashed a long time ago.
"Because a sheep is so aggressive, this sheep must be of great value, right......?"
His actions caused the hunters of the Hunter Clan, who were not far from him, to clench their weapons vigilantly, but all he took out of his bosom was a money bag.
Qingkong took out a few gold coins from it and handed them to the herdsman with a nervous face.
When the herdsmen saw a few golden coins, their eyes were full of yearning. Not to mention exchanging this money for a sheep, even if the entire ranch is given to him, it is worth it. But he could feel a pair of poisonous eyes beside him looking at him, and he also knew that the purpose of this trip was far from being as simple as recovering a sheep, otherwise he would not have worked so hard.
"Hmph, put away your stinky money! You Terrans living in the city can use money to solve the ugly things after they have done them, but we don't allow them here. Hans said forcefully, and the herdsmen on the side did not dare to take the gold coin that was close in front of him.
The hand that Qingkong handed out did not take it back, but the palm of his hand went down, and several gold coins fell directly to the ground.
"I've already paid for it. Qingkong said with a cold expression, and then turned back to the crowd.
Mu Yuan on the side shook his head gently, thinking that there was no hope for a peaceful solution.
Sure enough, this action of Qingkong completely angered the tribesmen, and angry roars began to surround their ranks, and even the other guardian beasts that were originally a little afraid of wolves and bears also hissed their teeth and tensed their bodies.
Seeing that the situation was a little out of control, the magic staff in Mu Yuan's hand was suddenly raised, and a dazzling light flashed in front of everyone's eyes, and then a pile of dead branches not far away turned into a pile of ashes, which also calmed down the irascible hunter team.
Although Hans's expression was calm, he couldn't hide his shocked expression, he didn't expect that the old man who felt the weakest of the four people in front of him would actually have some strange magic.
"What kind of threat is this? Old man, do you think we'll be scared if we play some little trick on the fire? Hmph! While your children are still playing puppets on the warm bed, our children can already hunt an adult wild boar. Of course, Hans knew that the old man in front of him must be more than that, but he also knew that there were only four of them, and there were hundreds of them himself.
"You're mistaken, Hans Chief, this is not a threat. You said you want to administer justice, so I wonder how your 'justice' will handle this?" asked Mu Yuan.
"A life is worth a life!" said Hans, word for word, as the double-edged sword in his hand rested flat on his thigh.
"Hehe, when did the lives of livestock and human life become equal in the Savage West?" Mu Yuan sneered.
"You're wrong, they're only equal to the lives of your people. Hans stared at Mu Yuan, and said in a disgusted and disdainful tone.
"What are you talking about!" Jin Ming's expression was angry, and Hans's contempt made him take a step forward, and the wolf bear beside him also moved forward, and the long fangs were already exposed. This is also the only thing that this group of hunters is afraid of, it seems that even the fat on the side of the sky is not in their eyes, or it may be that they don't know what kind of guardian beast it is.
Mu Yuan stretched out his hand to signal Jin Ming not to be impulsive, and said slowly: "Could this be your so-called justice? Is there no justice at all in the barbarian West Wilderness? No wonder others call you barbarians." ”
"Watch your tongue, old man!" said Hans angrily. The hundreds of hunters behind him were even more furious, and the tribal people were the most taboo to be called barbarians.
Of course, the university scholar knew, so he deliberately said it.
"If not, then let us go. ”
"Leave, if you don't leave something and let you go, then won't our Nishino become a hunting ground for people like you in the future?" I can only say that you are very unfortunate, we must let outsiders know that our tribe's territory is not allowed to be trampled on by outsiders at will!" Hans instantly mobilized the momentum of his subordinates, and his eyes were full of hatred, as if he wanted to tear the enemy in front of him apart.
"Well, then since we must leave something to solve this misunderstanding, then ......" Mu Yuan seemed to be thinking about something, but in fact, he had already thought about it, "I will leave a message." ”
"News, what news?" asked Hans.
"This news is small and is news about the survival of your people, and if it is big, it is news about the survival of all the races in the world. Mu Yuan looked straight at him and said.
The old and somewhat deep words of the scholar made Hans shudder for a moment, but in an instant he felt like he was being teased.
"Old man, are you kidding me?" Hans lowered his eyes and shook the greatsword in his hand, his anger palpable.
The scholar didn't speak, but took out his crystal ball from his leather bag, and when the spell was pronounced, the crystal ball emitted a somewhat dazzling light, and the picture flickered, and finally froze on the main road not far from Qingyun City. Once again, the rock monsters were exposed, only this time the boys' expressions were calm, and Hans's face was clouded. He had participated in the Battle of Zhongzhou, so he naturally knew what it was.
"It's ...... Dark Forces?!" Hans's anger had been dissipated by shock, he didn't expect to see these damn monsters again.
"Take us to your chief, and it's best to call the chiefs of all three tribes. Mu Yuan said slowly.
