But reason told him that he couldn't be so reckless. Huwa was only so young. He couldn't let Huwa have no father at such a young age just because of hatred.
What's more, even if he risked his life to kill the puppet, what if the Feather Wings Tribe came to crush the Xu Tribe just like they besieged the Cross River Tribe?
Daying clenched his hands into fists, restraining his inner urge to fight to the death with the puppet.
Others just don't understand.
Not to mention that the Cross-River tribe has always lived its own life behind closed doors. It has never made any alliances with other tribes, and has never heard of doing anything to offend other tribes.
Furthermore, are you sure it is not a joke to seek help from the Xu clan when you encounter difficulties?
You are a medium-sized tribe with more than a hundred people. Even you can't defeat the Winged Tribe. Do you think adding a mini-tribe with less than twenty people, old and young, can turn defeat into victory?
Are you afraid that you have some misunderstanding about our Xu tribe?
The two teenagers who crossed the river to ask for help lowered their heads.
Don't they know how reckless this trip is.
The two tribes had never interacted with each other before, but the first time they came here was to ask for help from them.
But the great witch said that the cross-river tribe's glimmer of hope was the Xu tribe.
If they come, there is still hope of survival. If they don’t come, today’s dawn will be the moment when the Cross River tribe will be completely wiped out.
"Please, save us! You can make whatever conditions you want!"
Dashan and others looked at each other helplessly: It's not that they refuse to save, the question is how to save? It is not advisable to hit an egg against a stone.
Seeing that the wounds on the two teenagers were still bleeding, Xu Yin asked Dawa to bring over a pot of boiled warm water and a handful of Panax notoginseng grass.
"Get up and treat the wound first, otherwise it will become infected."
"It's nothing..." One of the teenagers pursed his lips, "We swam fast and were not bitten by the water animals. These injuries were just scratched by the sharp fins of the water animals."
"That also needs to be treated." Xu Yin asked Dashan to clean their wounds with warm water, and after washing, apply the crushed Panax notoginseng leaves.
She took a few steps outside, looked across the dark river, and saw the shadowy torches surrounding the cross-river tribe.
"It's them! It's the Winged Tribe!"
The young man's voice trembled:
"They're coming!"
Yihu walked to Xu Yin's side and roared toward the other side of the river.
"Sisters, do you want to take revenge on them?"
"Ouch——"
"Then take revenge! Save people and take revenge."
"Great witch!"
The tribal people are worried.
"I have a sense of discretion." Xu Yin turned back to the cave to get her own set of bows and arrows, mounted the Winged Tiger, and said to everyone, including the two teenagers from the Cross-River Tribe: "You stay here and don't go there. Winged Tribe Those people don’t know me, so they probably can’t connect with our tribe. I’ll go and deal with them and then come back.”
Everyone was shocked: The great witch is going alone?
"No, Great Witch!"
Although they have seen the power of the great witch, the great witch is a woman after all, and all the ones sent by the Featherwing Tribe are elites of the hunting team, taller than the eagle, and bigger and more powerful than the eagle.
"Great Witch, if you decide to go, we will go with you."
"Yes! Let's go together!"
Daying, Dashan, Dahe, Ariel and others all came out.
Xu Yin had already flown into the air on her winged tiger, and the wind carried her words into everyone's ears:
"You are not allowed to swim across the river, and you are not allowed to get yourself injured. If you can do it, then come."
"..."
How to cross the river?
They don't have mounts like Winged Tigers that can soar into the sky.
"I have a way!" Dahe said happily, "Aren't the bamboos that the witch asked us to chop very light and floatable on the water? One of them is too narrow, so we tied them with vines and laid them across the river, so we can't cross ?”
The others turned to look at the long bamboo poles piled neatly next to them: "Then what are you waiting for! Find the vines quickly!"
The two teenagers from the Cross-River tribe looked at the man and the beast wrapped in the night after flying across the river, and then at the people busy building bamboo rafts. Their minds couldn't turn around, and they all felt confused: Who are they? What are they here for?
"Hey! Boy! What are you doing standing still? Come here and help! Your injuries will be healed immediately after applying the herbal medicine. Don't use this injury as an excuse not to work."
"……oh oh."

Holding a bow and arrow, riding a winged tiger, Xu Yin felt nervous and passionate about the upcoming battle of revenge and rescue: "..."
But she had no time to think about it at this time, because she had already seen the members of the Winged Tribe holding torches and looking proud.
Sixty people from the Featherwing Tribe came this time, all of them fierce and warlike young adults. Each had a spear in their left hand and a stone knife in their right hand, surrounding the Cross-River Tribe.
The leader was their leader, who played with the stone knife in his hand and slapped the face of the young man who had his hands and feet tied and was forced to kneel at his feet. He laughed when he saw the young man's painful and shrinking expression.
Opposite him was Kun, a member of the cross-river tribe's hunting team who was shorter than him.
Seeing his son being tied up in a ball and being slapped in the face with a stone knife and verbally humiliated, Kun was so angry that his eyes were red, and he almost lost his mind and went to the rescue without hesitation.
He took a few deep breaths, suppressed the anger in his heart, and spoke calmly: "Puppet, our tribe has always been law-abiding, why do you..."
"No reason! It's just fun! I heard that you have a mysterious stone in your hands. Let me take a look at it. I'm happy. It's not impossible to let this kid go."
The implication was that if he was not happy, he would kill this kid on the spot and crush the Cross River tribe.
Kun was negotiating on behalf of the Cross-River Tribe. It was impossible for him to offer the mysterious stone immediately just to save his son. Even if he wanted to offer it, he had to first obtain a guarantee from the other party that he would not harm anyone from the Cross-River Tribe.
"Hahaha! Kun, what qualifications do you think you have to negotiate with me? I was in a good mood today, so I didn't sacrifice your blood to my stone knife as soon as I came. But obviously, my good mood not only failed to make you understand, but also encouraged It’s not okay to lose your self-righteous arrogance!”
As he spoke, his face darkened, and he raised the knife in his hand, watching as the stone knife was about to pierce Yu's shoulder.
"No--"
Kun's eyes are about to burst.
"Pah-pah!"
"ah--"
A roaring sound broke through the air, knocking the stone knife out of the puppet's hand and shooting through his palm.
Amid the roar, Puppet stared in disbelief at his numb hand from pain.
Seeing that there was a bloody hole in the palm of my hand, and blood was gushing out, I couldn't help but blacken my eyes——
"my hand--"
"leader!"
"leader!"
The others panicked, quickly raised their spears and stone knives, surrounded their leader, and looked out on guard.
Who is it?
It actually pierced their leader's palm silently.
