Chapter 268: Chapter 173 Long Ti No See
After the Vine Tribe Trading Area opened, word quickly spread among the wanderers nearby and several small tribes in the vicinity, due to the free round potato given away on the first day.
Additionally, the mbers of the Vine Tribe could also bring their own items to trade, making the trading area incredibly busy for a while.
At this ti, the Frog Tribe leader, Huo ng, had already found this place and captured a wanderer.
“Don’t kill , don’t kill …”
The wanderer scread in terror and struggled constantly.
“Don’t move, if you move again, I’ll snap your neck!”
The tall Huo ng grabbed the wanderer as easily as holding a chick, and the six warrior patterns on his face scared the wanderer further.
The wanderer dared not struggle anymore, he could only plead with Huo ng, shivering all over.
“Do you know where the Vine Tribe is?”
“I… I know…”
Realizing that the other party wasn’t specifically causing him trouble, the wanderer breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said: “As long as you don’t kill , I can take you there.”
Huo ng’s eyes lit up, and he said: “Alright, as long as you take us there, I won’t kill you!”
“But… if you dare play any tricks, I can guarantee, you will die terribly!”
The wanderer hurriedly agreed: “I absolutely won’t play any tricks, I’ll definitely be honest.”
“Lead the way!”
Huo ng put down the wanderer, letting him lead the way, while he himself brought along more than a dozen Frog Tribe warriors behind him, holding long spears, and vigilantly watching the surroundings as they walked.
The wanderer had gone to the Vine Tribe Trading Area two days earlier to receive a round potato, but after receiving it, he left the Vine Tribe because there were too many wanderers there, making survival pressure too great.
Unexpectedly, after just leaving that gathering spot of wanderers, he was now forced to return.
He felt very bitter inside but couldn’t say anything.
He could only hope that these people would keep their word and spare his life after taking them to the Vine Tribe.
The wanderer led the Frog Tribe people through the dense primitive jungle, and the closer they got to the Vine Tribe, the more wanderers they encountered on the road.
However, upon seeing Huo ng and his companions, these wanderers kept their distance, not daring to approach.
After a day, the wanderer successfully led Huo ng and the others to the territory of the Vine Tribe.
When Huo ng saw the towering Stone Mountain and the looming Divine Vine enshrouded in mist from afar, his mood grew excited.
Because Jiang Xuan had told him that the most striking features of the Vine Tribe were the Stone Mountain and the Divine Vine.
Upon seeing the totem pattern on the outskirts of the Vine Tribe’s territory, he imdiately confird that this indeed was the Vine Tribe.
At this mont, he felt an inexplicable urge to cry.
The Frog Tribe had endured more than a year, migrated to the Southern Wilderness, suffered through the cold winter, and the food scarcity of early spring, and finally found the Vine Tribe!
When they arrived in front of the massive Vine Wall, the wanderer turned back cautiously and said: “I’ve brought you to the Vine Tribe, can I leave now?”
The wanderer was eager to slip away because he didn’t know why these people were seeking the Vine Tribe; what if it was for revenge? Wouldn’t it be dangerous then?
“Wait!”
Huo ng stopped the wanderer who was about to bolt, causing the wanderer’s face to drop instantly and his body to stiffen.
“Is there… sothing else?” The wanderer turned back, nearly in tears, genuinely afraid for his life.
Huo ng pointed to the vine wall’s gate ahead and asked: “Why are there so many people going in and out of that place?”
“That’s the main entrance of the Vine Tribe. From there inside, you can go to the Vine Tribe’s new trading area to engage in trading; two days ago, you could even get a free round potato when you went in.”
Thinking of the already eaten round potato, the wanderer’s eyes held a trace of reminiscence.
“Trading area? Round potato?”
Huo ng mused, he knew about the trading area, but he was unaware of what a round potato was, as there was no such plant in the Western Wilderness.
“Can I… can I go now?”
The wanderer asked carefully once again.
“Go ahead, go ahead…”
Huo ng waved his hand, and the wanderer fled into the forest as if granted amnesty, quickly disappearing.
“Leader, should we go in?”
The Frog Tribe warriors behind Huo ng were eager to try, for the tribe mbers, visiting the trading area was a rare opportunity.
Huo ng thought for a mont and said: “Going in for a look would be good.”
Before becoming a subordinate tribe of the Vine Tribe, Huo ng deed it necessary to first understand the Vine Tribe and see if it was as powerful as he imagined.
Huo ng waved his hand and led the dozen or so Frog Tribe warriors to the front of the gateway.
As soon as they approached, the Vine Tribe warriors responsible for guarding beca nervous because of the intimidating six warrior patterns on Huo ng’s face.
A majority of people from small tribes had never even heard of the Six-Color Warrior.
“Which tribe are you from?”
The Vine Tribe warriors guarding the gate stopped Huo ng and his companions.
Huo ng replied: “We are from the Frog Tribe, heard there’s a trading area inside, and wanted to take a look.”
One of the Vine Tribe warriors pulled out a large beast skin scroll and said: “Tribes visiting the trading area for the first ti must leave their totem pattern here.”
This rule was set by Jiang Xuan.
The advantage of doing this is that the Vine Tribe can later learn about the nearby tribes.
Huo ng looked at the beast skin scroll and saw the Vine Tribe’s totem pattern in the center and several other tribes’ totem patterns drawn around it.
