The tribal camp was close to the Yan River, and the heat was unbearable for outsiders, and Sky was unfortunately one of them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He didn't know how many times he had been awakened by the mosquito-like heat throughout the night. But every time he woke up, he would pick up the ivory wine glass on the table and take a few sips of the bitter and sticky wheat wine, because water is precious here, and wine is solid. Qingkong had no choice, but hoped that he could fall asleep with the strength of alcohol. When only the last sip of the tall glass remained, he finally realized that this was a wrong idea. Sometimes you get drunk when you drink too much, but sometimes there's nothing more sober than it.

People think about it when they can't sleep. Qingkong began to imagine what the Yan River that made him so uncomfortable looked like, whether it was really like the fire spirits jumping everywhere as the legend, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't make himself feel sleepy. He thought back to the events of the day, and his memory returned to the fact that the scholar of Muyuan University used the "peep crystal" to wake up the group of tribesmen who were still chattering. By the time they truly realized the gravity of the situation, the small quarrels between the tribes had long since passed, and the three leaders all had serious expressions on their faces.

The flames of the war burned to their homes, and the images of corpses and devastation are still vivid. They all knew that the old man in front of him had more than just magic, and he should also know the strategy to deal with the Dark Alliance, otherwise he would not have come to a place where their urban terrans were not welcome.

The scholar of Muyuan University did not explain anything to them, and directly stated his idea of unity. It is not only the human race that must be united, but also the races of the world. Because the Dark Coalition they were dealing with was no longer the rabble of fugitives from all races, they were now well-armed and well-fed, with even stronger flying beasts and an army of rock monsters who didn't know what it was like to be in pain. And somehow, the university scholar had a hunch that the Dark Coalition had much more than that......

The scholar then mentions Sky's primary concern: stating that the top priority is to free Qingyun City from the grip of the Dark Alliance.

As for the reasons, the university scholars also analyzed it in detail. As the first breakthrough of the Dark Alliance, Qingyun City naturally has an important significance to them, with geographical location and economic support...... Wait a minute. But the irony is that they didn't bother to do anything, but just took advantage of the internal contradictions of the human race to really control the power. The significance of retaking Qingyun City is not only to recover a city, but also to show that the human race is united in the face of evil and darkness, and it also sets an example for the unity of all races in the world.

Although the scholar's words were unmistakable, the three chiefs of the tribe were at odds.

The temper of the dwarven leader is still so hot after so many years, as soon as he heard that he was going to retake Qingyun City from the hands of the Dark Alliance, his eyes like black onyx immediately burst into sparks, and his messy beard was slightly curled, and he wanted to immediately carry his two short-handled axes to Qingyun City. He seems to have forgotten that at the Heroes Conference more than ten years ago, because of his impulsive actions, he almost buried one of his arms.

Although he felt that the dwarf was very reckless, at such a moment, his fiery temper was deeply loved by the university scholars. The opposite of his attitude was the leader of the Hunters, who ignored the dwarves' movements, his long, delicate eyes showing hesitation. The scholar could see some reluctance in his cautious attitude, and seemed reluctant to send troops for a fallen city.

And compared to the obvious attitude of the two leaders, the giant Tyke's rock-like expression was really incomprehensible. His intimidating eyes were constantly staring at the monster in the crystal ball, with occasional flashes of anger, occasional hesitation, and occasional hint of calm...... The scholars and others also understood that as long as the giant in front of them nodded, the hope of the tribe sending troops would be half successful.

But to the disappointment of the university scholars and others, the leader of the giants did not directly express his attitude, but said in a deep voice to the university scholars: Our tribal human race needs to discuss it, and we will give an answer after discussion tomorrow.

This was clearly a hint that the Giant Leaders needed an independent space to discuss. This "vague" eviction order, of course, the university scholars understand, they need to weigh it, after all, sending troops to Qingyun City is not a trivial matter, and it may implicate the rise and fall of the entire tribe.

So, they had no choice but to return to the camp, where the tribesmen had prepared a tent for each of them, which was now unbearable......

Eventually, when the sleepiness finally hits, no amount of unbearable feeling can resist it. Qingkong finally fell asleep with the answer and anticipation of tomorrow's tribal leaders.

Some people say that they spend twice as much time in their sleep as they do on a normal day, but in the sky it feels like it's much more than that. Hours slipped away with a flick of his fingers, and the noise was always the first to wake him up.

When Qingkong woke up again, the noise outside the tent flooded his ears. He stepped out of the tent, and the temperature outside was much cooler than inside. An iron basin with water was placed next to the curtain of the tent, and he washed up briefly and looked around. Because the tribal headquarters are located in very hot places and water sources are scarce, water is extremely precious. Therefore, an iron basin will be placed in front of each tent so as not to miss the rain blessed by God.

On the narrow path, warriors from all tribes came and went. The males were bare, bare-chested, wearing shorts of animal skin, carrying weapons, sharp daggers or scimitars, and shouting rough tribal languages he did not understand. And although women do not have bare chests, they are even more like not wearing them when they are soaked in sweat. Tribal children, on the other hand, are exposed to the sun as if they were newborn.

The noise was not far ahead, and it was still early to see the time, so he followed the flow of people to the place where the hustle and bustle occurred. When I walked over, I found that I was blocked by circles of onlookers in front of me. Dwarves, hunters, giants, and some urban humans of similar size to him, and even some outlanders in fancy costumes, but they were all dressed in extreme clothes, and they all stood there unevenly. Sky heard cheers, cheers, whistles, and roars of excitement. He finally managed to squeeze forward, of course, he was subjected to countless insults on the way, but he didn't understand and didn't care, and his body disappeared into the crowd like an eel snake in an instant.

"Fatty?!" suddenly exclaimed when he saw a round figure.

The last thing he saw was Jin Ming and his wolf bear surrounded by the crowd. Of course, he couldn't be the only one in such a formation, there was another person, and that was a tall and burly hunter. With just one glance, he knew he was a hunter because there was also a guardian beast standing beside him, a huge white-haired tiger. There is no trace of variegation on the whole body, the white is dazzling, and the long teeth coming out of the mouth are as white and cold as the fur, which makes people exhale a cold breath in such a hot weather.

The hunter's face was resolute and angular, and although his expression was cold, he did not have the same disdain as the other tribesmen, but cautiously examined Jin Ming and the wolves and bears around him.

Jin Ming heard Qingkong's shout and looked at him with a strange expression, and the hunter also looked at Qingkong coldly. When he found that the young man in front of him had a pair of green eyes, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he didn't pay too much attention, but said loudly in a stiff Mandarin: "I am the son of the leader of the hunting clan, 'Father Bear' Hantesen-'White Tiger' Hangeba!"

"Hangeba!"

"White Tiger!"

"Hangeba!"

The people of the Hunters in the surrounding crowd shouted the name of their future leader, and it was deafening. But there were also some boos among them, and Qingkong knew that it must be dwarves.

At first, it wasn't clear what the hunter was up to. But seeing the hunter casually glance at Jin Ming's wolf and bear, he seemed to understand something, and then the hunter also verified his conjecture.

Han Geba waved his hand to signal the clansmen to stop shouting, then looked at Jin Ming, and said in a strong tone: "This Terran warrior, I think you should also be a hunter, and—" He paused and continued, "And this guardian beast is still a wolf and bear!"

"Wolf bear?!"

"Wolf Bear ......"

These words came out of Han Geba's mouth, and the onlookers were in an uproar, and in their impression, it seemed that only the patriarch of the hunting clan had the ability to control the wolf and bear. But since the sons of the chiefs think so, the truth can be imagined.

"And then?" Unexpectedly, Jin Ming was not frightened by the hunter's momentum, but asked slowly. The other people present may not be able to figure out the details of Jin Ming, but Qingkong knows that the fat man's guts are a few pounds and taels, could it be that he has also drunk all night like himself, and he has not woken up yet?

Han Geba's face changed a little because of Jin Ming's slow words.

"Since we are the guardian beasts of the Hunters, then—I want to challenge you in the name of the son of the tribal leader!" said a hint of fanaticism in Hangeba's resolute eyes.

There was another commotion, as the onlookers understood what that meant. In a tribe, the son of the chief is the heir to the next chief. However, there are also cases where if there is a warrior in the tribe who wants to challenge the son of the leader and defeats him, it is the victor who will inherit the throne of the leader. For more than 100 years, this kind of challenge has occurred repeatedly, but this is the first time that the son of the leader has challenged other warriors.

The wolf bear seemed to smell the thick provocation on the other side, and the eyes of the blood-black night were staring at the white-haired tiger, who was also not to be outdone.

Qing Kong was a little nervous in his heart, he was afraid that the fat man would really respond to his impulse. Although his wolf bear may not necessarily lose to the adult white tiger, the duel between the hunters is not only a competition between guardian beasts, but also between masters. And the fat man compared to that hunter......

"It's still just a child, I'm afraid I can't say yes. Although Jin Ming refused, his tone did not mean to give in.

His words made Qingkong breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, there was a sudden boo around the venue.

But the chief's son, Han Geba, was not satisfied with his answer, frowning slightly, and holding the scimitar pinned to his waist in his hand at some point. The white-haired tiger next to him let out a low roar, and its arched body was like a small arched bridge, ready to attack at any time.

Seeing this, Qingkong had no choice but to put his finger to his mouth, preventing the impending conflict.

However, before the situation could turn out as bad as he had expected, several hunters as tall as the Chief's Son were crammed into the crowd, and they whispered something in Hangeba's ear. As the conversation progressed, Sky noticed a slight reluctance on his expression, but reluctantly, he stuck his cutlass back into his waist and turned away. Before leaving, he did not forget to take a "affectionate" look at the fat man and his wolf bear.

The crowd dispersed as the chief's son left. Seeing that Jin Ming was still standing there, Qingkong had a little disappointed look on his face, but in an instant, he walked over with a smile on his face. Qingkong's expression was a little complicated, as if it wasn't him who had just confronted the Fierce Hunter.

"Fatty, what's going on?" Qingkong had some questions, always feeling that the fat man was weird just now.

"Nothing...... When you wake up in the morning and take care of Kuro-kun, you happen to be seen by this 'tiger', and the result is the scene you see. Jin Ming still said with a smile on his face, as he had been playing for a long time.

But Qingkong doesn't think so. The tribal camp was so large, and for the sake of safety, the shelters arranged for them were far away from the residences of the various tribal leaders. It's hard to see each other, let alone meet them by chance. Qingkong looked suspicious, trying to see something on the fat man's face, but he still had the same smile on his face, and there was no trace.

Jin Mingnu moved his lips like fat intestines, and said in a somewhat aggrieved tone: "Boss, you still don't believe me, my bear cub is not like your flying dragon that comes and goes so freely to forage for food." If I hadn't taken some fresh meat, I'm afraid it would have broken out of its cage and fed on the stupid people who were watching the excitement just now, and it would have been so happy to see if they would have screamed so happily. ”

The fat man stroked the wolf bear as he spoke, and the wolf bear squinted slightly and met it with long black and red eyes, and Qingkong found that there were really stars and blood on its long fangs, proving that what the fat man said was true.

"How could you be suspicious of him, he's a brother who was born and died with you......" Sky suddenly felt a little guilty about what he had just thought.

"I'm just surprised at how calm you handled things just now," he said, trying to forget his suspicions, "not like you used to...... That......"

"So timid and weak?" Jin Ming continued, but the smile was still there.

The sky is blue-eyed, and he used to make fun of his timidity, lust, and greed for money. But thinking about the way he has come, from the desperate wolf and bear in Dragon Valley to the fierce hunter in this desolate West Field, he is not the soft persimmon he once became. Moreover, even if it was a soft persimmon in the past, he only let him pinch it himself.

"Boss...... In the past, in Qingyun City, you were my backer, with you, I could be cowardly, I could be cowardly. But now Qingyun City is occupied by a group of dark forces, and we are wandering outside, full of dangers. I don't want to be a burden to you, so I have to be strong and have to take on some ...... Something. ”

"Undertake something, what?" Qingkong noticed that when the fat man said "something", his eyes looked into the distance, which was where the camp of the hunters was located, and the wolf and bear flags fluttered in the wind.

The fat man didn't answer exactly, just turned his head to look at him: "Something you decided to do." ”

"What can you do for me? It won't be to rob me of an extra piece of meat, right?" Although Qingkong was joking, he vaguely felt something in his heart.

"Become the leader of the Hunter Clan, or even the leader of the tribe, and one day assist you in unifying the human race!" Jin Ming said solemnly in a deep voice.

Qingkong had never seen a fat man who spoke to him so solemnly, and his unwavering eyes seemed to have an illusion that he was standing in front of him as the future tribal leader.

"Then the conflict just now was provoked by you...... "Qingkong suddenly thought to himself.

The dark red wolf and bear flags fluttered, and the sound of assembly horns was heard in the distance.
