After leaving the tribe, Qiuye's face immediately became expressionless, and his body exuded a temperament that made people stay away from him, completely devoid of the gentleness he had with his sister in the tent just now.
She straddled her long white legs and walked towards the middle of the tribe.
In the middle of the tribe, there was a very large tent, which was at least twice the size of the nearby tents.
Arrive at the tent door.
The two totem warriors guarding the door immediately saluted: "Chief Qiu."
Qiuye nodded and said, "The witch said he has something to do with me."
"Please wait a moment, Chief Qiu, while we report to the witch."
A guarding totem warrior entered the tent and came out quickly: "The witch said, please come in."
After speaking, he and the other totem warrior made way.
Qiuye walked in.
Inside the tent, there is a unique decorative style of primitive society.
All around, there were countless bones, teeth, horns, and tail ridges of all kinds of ferocious beasts hanging around.
There are no shreds of flesh left on each of the ferocious beasts' remnants, and all are cold and white bones. Judging from the shape of some of the remaining bones, each ferocious beast looked horrible in death.
After walking in, even though the sunlight could shine through the gaps and keep the light in the tent, a chill suddenly hit the body, making people feel cold in their hands and feet, and they felt fearful in their hearts.
In the middle is a chair made of white bones. A petite figure is sitting on it. She has two petite cat ears on her head and a short tail waving behind her.
She is a cat-eared girl and a witch from the Vine tribe.
In front of the cat-eared girl was an animal skin.
There are various strange patterns painted on the animal skin, as well as densely packed tadpole-like words.
Qiuye felt dizzy after just one glance.
She knew that it was shaman writing, a text that only shamans could master. She could not read more, and she did not dare to read more.
Qiuye hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Witch, you are looking for me!"
Hearing the sound, Hua Xuan looked away from the animal skin. When she saw Qiu Ye's figure, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and then returned to normal.
"Qiuye, I came to you because I have something to arrange for you to do." Hua Xuan's cat tail stopped wagging, put it down, and spoke in a childish voice that was not suitable for her age group.
"Witch, please tell me, I will do anything."
Qiuye has no disrespect towards Hua Xuan.
Although Hua Xuan is only fourteen years old, it has only been two years since she succeeded Wu.
But she is the most talented and smartest witch in the history of the Vine Tribe.
After being selected as the successor of the witchcraft, Hua Xuan had already mastered a witchcraft in just half a year while studying with her predecessor.
And she also had a very high degree of foresight. If she had not discovered that something was wrong, after the death of the previous witch, she would have left the ancestral land with the Vine tribe and stayed away from right and wrong.
Otherwise, even the Vine Tribe would not be able to escape the turmoil that broke out in the ancestral land not long ago!
It is said that during that turmoil, not to mention many small tribes disappeared, even some medium and large tribes suffered heavy losses in that turmoil.
"I want you to take the totem warriors and walk in the direction to the right of the sun to find traces of the Qingque tribe." Hua Xuan said calmly.
"Qingque tribe?" Qiuye asked doubtfully.
Qiuye of the Qingque tribe is not unfamiliar. When they were in the ancestral land, the population of the Qingque tribe was similar to that of their Teng tribe, and the two sides were relatively friendly.
"Yes, when I was in the ancestral land, I communicated with the shamans of the Qingque tribe about witchcraft power, and we have a vague connection with each other."
Hua Xuan's cat ears twitched and she explained: "Just a few days ago, I suddenly received a request from the shaman of the Qingque Tribe, asking me to take in people from the Qingque Tribe if they came to seek refuge. And after that, The shamanic connection between me and the Qingque Tribe has been severed."
Listening to Hua Xuan's words, Qiuye's heart moved and said: "Wu, what do you mean..."
Hua Xuan nodded: "Yes, Qiuye, it's exactly what you imagined. I hope you can find the Qingque tribe and bring them over.
When I left my ancestral land, I learned about the situation of the Qingque tribe. Their tribe had not yet found Wu's successor.
After the turmoil, although I did not get to know the situation of their tribe again, judging from the request of the Qingque Tribe witch, they definitely still have no heirs of the witch, otherwise they would not ask our Teng Tribe to take them in. "
Qiuye nodded silently, agreeing with Hua Xuan's point of view.
Just like their Vine tribe, unless they are forced into a desperate situation, even if there are witches, they will not think of joining other tribes.
Because joining other tribes means that the totem of this tribe will be lost and will be branded with someone else's totem.
This is absolutely impossible for a tribe holding a totem to accept in the wilderness!
Hua Xuan paused and continued: "Qiuye, you know the current situation of our tribe. After leaving the ancestral land, the number of ferocious beasts we hunt has decreased a lot. In addition, my witchcraft practice has slowed down.
The number of totem warriors being cultivated is becoming less and less, while the number of totem warriors being lost is becoming more and more.
If this continues, there will be only one result for our Vine Tribe in the wilderness, and that is extinction! "
Qiuye said: "Witch, I understand what you mean. You want to find the remnants of the Qingque tribe and absorb them into our tribe. This may be able to relieve the tribe's crisis."
Hua Xuan's eyes showed deep appreciation.
As expected of the miko she carefully selected, she understood her thoughts so quickly.
"Yes, that's what I think. Although the Qingque tribe is very likely to come towards us, I am not worried about how long they can survive in the wilderness without their witch, so I plan to let you pass." Hua Xuan said.
If a tribe has no witches, then the totem warriors of that tribe will have their totem power slowly diminished and their strength will drop.
Therefore, each tribe will regard the witches of their tribe as extremely important, and the status of witches is therefore superior to others.
"I understand." Qiuye's horse tail flicked, thinking of a key question, and asked: "Witch, how far are we from the Qingque tribe?"
Hua Xuan's cat's tail waggled, calculating in her mind.
"About six suns down," she said.
When six suns set, there are six days.
"Six suns set?" Qiuye frowned and said: "Wu, this is too far, it takes too long to go out, why don't we go with someone else.
What if I go out and a powerful beast attacks the tribe? And who is responsible for the food? "
The number of totem warriors in the Vine Tribe is small, only nearly thirty.
But these thirty totem warriors are responsible for the daily food of 150 people, which is a heavy responsibility.
And Qiuye is the most powerful totem warrior of the Teng tribe. It's okay to go out for a day or two, but if he goes out for six days, the safety of the tribe cannot be guaranteed.
