Chapter 232 - Carnage (1/2)

Edited by Ilesyt

This kind of birds domesticated by the Feather tribe, were usually sought after to search or spy some simple information by other tribes, also for early warning. It’s only that it required a lot of food to exchange for this bird; in case of shell money, one bird needed many chains of shells for exchange, and that was not even enough for a crown kite, which needed even more for buy.

It’s expensive, but very popular, especially in the central region.

Probably because the previous failure, the Martyr tribe were more concerned and paid high prices to get one crown kite for this time.

The crown kite was better at spying the situation. It was this crown kite which told Zhi the existence of other people hiding in the nearby mountains. Moreover, compared with common kites, the crown kite was far more intimidating. When there was a crown kite, many birds in the mountains would evade it; even if they didn’t evade, they would not readily clash with it.

Zhi showed off the crown kite standing on his arm to the people of the Jian tribe, and said slowly then: “We’re counting on it to spy the movements over there.”

People of the Jian tribe strongly agreed with this idea by Zhi in their hearts, thinking that this man was not yet too crazy and lost his brain. Anyway, he should have exchanged many things for this kind of bird from the Feather tribe. If it were their Jian tribe, they would definitely not pay much for only one bird.

Zhi said something to the crown kite and raised his arm.

“Go!”

The crown kite flew up with a loud cry, as if indicating other birds in the surroundings to make way for it.

Looking at the figure in the sky flying over to the Drumming tribe, Zhi couldn’t help laughing, “It won’t be long before my bird comes back with the movements inside the Drumming tribe.”

Unfortunately, with this word and the smile still remaining on his face, Zhi saw that the crown kite, which just entered the territory of the Drumming tribe, flew back in haste, flapping his wings hard, as if being chased by something. If it were a wild animal running on the ground, this could be described as “frightened out of its wits”.

Seeing the crown kite flying back hurriedly in the sky, people of the Jian tribe all looked at Zhi standing there with a frozen smile on his face. Is this what you meant by “It won’t be long”? Didn’t it come back too fast?

Whoever saw this scene would also be doubtful, thinking that this was not the way to spy.

Obviously, something was wrong.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Zhi took out the wooden whistle and blew it, refraining himself from breaking the wooden whistle.

“Ha-ha-ha!” The leader of the Jian tribe laughed out loudly. He was happy to see the Martyr tribe making a fool of themselves. So many things exchanged just for such a cowardly bird.

Crack!

Zhi pinched the wooden whistle into pieces out of anger.

“No need to spy any more. Just rush over later!” This time he brought two hundred people more than he brought last time when attacking the Drumming tribe, all of whom were at least intermediate totem warriors and elites, with two more senior totem warriors. Down the mountain, there were also some more hands, almost two thousand people with the men of the Jian tribe added. No doubt that it would be easier than the last time. They definitely could manage to loot the water moonstones. Actually, there was no real threat in the Drumming tribe which had more head count though.

Originally, the Martyr tribe intended to send one thousand more to Zhi, but he refused. With more people joining, he would get less. He knew that among the things he looted, he could keep some for himself as trophies.

They only came to loot things, not fighting for territory. If the two tribes started warfare, it would not be a matter of this number of people.

Why not wipe out the Drumming tribe directly? No, no, without the Drumming tribe, how could they get the water moonstones in the future? Zhi suppressed the thought in his mind.

As to the Jian tribe, they sent two people to spy the situation inside the Drumming tribe. This time, they didn’t go further and both returned, knowing that the helper of the Drumming tribe was a tribe called “Flaming Horns”, nothing more than that however.

“See? I told you.” Zhi had never heard of the Flaming Horns tribe, “Just a small unknown local tribe. No need to worry.”

But a few in the Jian tribe seemed to have heard of the Flaming Horns tribe, seemingly in the recent two years. They also didn’t take it seriously, as there was indeed no tribe like this in the central region.

People of the Jian tribe felt relieved at this time: it was good news as long as the central tribes didn’t interfere. In the case of a small regional tribe, they would feel relatively relaxed and confident of dealing with it.

Several days went by soon.

The day with the full moons also came finally.

People of the Flaming Horns tribe saw this great wonder of the Drumming tribe for the first time: the originally muddy water became so clear with shining stones at the bottom of the river!

However, people of the Flaming Horns tribe now didn’t have any idea of value. They just felt fresh at the sight of the water moonstones, this thing that was not edible at all.

Seeing the reactions of the Flaming Horns tribe, those of the Drumming tribe felt finally at ease, thinking that people of the Flaming Horns tribe were all kind-hearted!

Ao took some people in person and guarded one area in the territory of the Drumming tribe.

“This is our first battle here since we came here, also a battle with great significance. Our enemies are no longer those ferocious beasts in the mountains, but the invaders from other tribes, human beings just like us. But here is what I want to say: although the invaders are human beings, not ferocious beasts, I want you to act as if you’re hunting ferocious beasts and deal with these savage enemies seriously. Like Keke, tell these invaders the power of our Flaming Horns tribe and make them remember how we, the Flaming Horns tribe defeats them!”

Praised by the chief in public, Keke started walking on air.

“It’s nothing to brag about. I’ll hunt more than you do later.” Tuo and the others thought in their hearts.

Ao glanced at all those coming together here and said seriously: “The invaders are not our tribesmen. Kill anyone who invades!”

“Kill them!”

Everyone felt like back at the tribe, when they stood on top of the mountain for before a hunt.

At this moment, they really felt like singing the Hunting Song, but the chief forbade them.

Finishing his speech, Ao waved his hand. People gathering here immediately scattered here and there. They had made arrangements beforehand, everyone guarded their own area in the units of hunting groups.

Shao Xuan was in Keke’s group. Every member of this group was from the advance team and would handle those tougher enemies like the intermediate and senior totem warriors after a while.

Facing this kind of hunting for the first time, most of them were nervous, but more excited. After being depressed for so long, they finally could go hunting.

“Jiao~~!” In the sky, Chacha already gave a warning.

Soon, not far away, the sounds of the patrols on the outskirts of the Drumming tribe also came, which meant that they had also already set out.

Ao, standing still without moving, quietly listened to the nearby movements, as well as some faint sounds approaching quickly from a distance.

Whoosh~~

An arrow, from the other side of the forest, was shot at Ao standing there, aiming directly at his head!
