Almost after a full circle of the small tribe, Lion Head and Fox Warrior found Silver Fang chatting with a black-haired girl in front of a strange tent.
They were speaking the common language of the beastmen, which was completely incomprehensible to a coarse fellow like Lion Head who lived on the edge of the great plains.
As for the Fox Warrior, he could understand what the two girls were talking about, but the things they were discussing were not what he wanted to hear at all.
Because they were actually discussing how to build a stone house in this place, a three-story large stone house!
Although there were quite a few stones piled up in the corners of this tribe, a three-story stone house, how much effort would it take to build it?
No, no, why was he thinking about this problem? Wasn’t his goal to find Silver Fang and force the cause of Grey Horn’s death from this girl? Why did his thoughts suddenly change?
Shaking his head fiercely, the Fox Warrior stepped forward and greeted the two girls who were engrossed in conversation in the not-so-fluent common language of the beastmen: “Ladies, may I have a moment of your time?”
Hearing the sound from behind, the two girls turned their heads to look at the Fox Warrior simultaneously. Upon seeing who it was, the black-haired girl showed an embarrassed expression. She glanced at Silver Fang and whispered, “Should I excuse myself?”
Seeing the black-haired girl’s reaction, the Fox Warrior immediately made a definition for her in his heart: this was a very delicate and obedient girl, the type that couldn’t lie at first glance.
“Ah, no need, no need. I’m just here to discuss some small matters with Miss Silver Fang.” The Fox Warrior tried his best to show a kind smile, but such an expression on a fox’s face was truly, well, eerie.
The black-haired girl instinctively shrank behind Silver Fang. “Then, then okay.”
As expected, a little girl who had never seen the world. The Fox Warrior sized up the black-haired girl from head to toe. He didn’t find any beastman characteristics on her, nor did this girl have pointed ears. Could she be a human?
How could such a frail human girl appear here?
Was she Silver Fang’s slave? No, when they were chatting just now, their status was clearly equal. This girl wouldn’t be a slave, otherwise, she wouldn’t have instinctively placed herself in the same position as Silver Fang.
Their relationship was more like friends?
Beastmen and humans becoming friends? That was truly funny, but looking at Silver Fang, it didn’t seem surprising to become friends with humans.
Mutated beastmen, who were rare in number, were indeed more like humans than normal beastmen, and it was understandable that they had a good relationship with humans.
“I am Firetail from Steel Spear Tribe. May I ask who this lady is…” The Fox Warrior glanced at the black-haired girl and asked Silver Fang.
“Her name is Leticia. She is a demon from the demon realm,” Silver Fang replied with a smile.
Oh, so she was a de… demon?!
The Fox Warrior’s eyes widened immediately. Was this black-haired girl the legendary demon?
The brutal demons who killed without blinking and massacred cities they conquered?
“Demon?” The Fox Warrior swallowed and confirmed in a trembling voice.
“Mhm, a demon.” Silver Fang nodded naturally, and even pushed Leticia beside her, “Leticia, how about you show us something.”
“Okay.” At her friend’s request, the black-haired girl reluctantly extended her hand. Under everyone’s gaze, a small flame shot out from the fingertips of the black-haired girl.
There was no doubt that this was magic, an evil art unique to the demon race.
Seeing this flame, the Fox Warrior’s pupils contracted into a tiny dot. He immediately turned to look at the curious Lion Head and shouted loudly, “She’s a demon, those demons who bring destruction to the world!”
Lion Head was a bit confused by the Fox Warrior’s excited reaction. Wasn’t she just a little girl who could light fires? What was there to be afraid of? That tiny flame couldn’t even burn through his skin.
Patting the Fox Warrior on the shoulder, Lion Head said carelessly, “Isn’t she just a demon? It’s not much different from humans. What’s there to be afraid of?”
This idiot! The Fox Warrior cursed again in his heart. How could demons be the same as humans?
Humans only had the ability to defend themselves, while demons were a powerful race that could fight against three at once. Under the leadership of that terrifying empress, demons were like natural disasters!
If it hadn’t been for the sudden appearance of the Sword Saint among the human race back then, perhaps the world would have only had one race left!
And now, demons have appeared on the great plains again. This in itself is a dangerous omen!
“A demon, she is a demon! The demon that even the Royal Tent has to bow down to! Her appearance here must be to annex us! Kill her, we absolutely cannot let her live!” The Fox Warrior shouted hysterically, his emotions out of control.
Hearing the Fox Warrior’s shouts, the first one to react was Silver Fang. She slapped her small wooden stool and stood up with a swish. “What nonsense are you talking about? Leticia is a good person, she is nothing like you say!”
Lion Head also frowned. He felt that this fox was becoming more and more abnormal. He was fine just now, but now he seemed to be acting out. He was talking nonsense. What threat could this little black-haired girl pose? Relying on this ability to start fires?
The weakest warrior under him could defeat this black-haired girl with two hands.
“Nonsense, she is a guest. Do you know that what you are saying will cause the relationship between our tribe and Silver Fang’s tribe to become…”
Lion Head’s reprimand of the Fox Warrior was only halfway through when the Fox Warrior, his eyes bloodshot, shouted and interrupted him: “Idiot, you are all idiots! Can’t you see? This girl is a devil, she’s here to invade us! We must fight back, fight back!”
While shouting, the Fox Warrior took out a small bone amulet from his clothes. “Die, evil demon!”
With his movement, the air suddenly became scorching hot, and a ball of unstable scorching energy gathered in his palm.
But Lion Head was one step faster than him. He directly picked up his long spear and hit the Fox Warrior on the forehead with a club.
Perhaps because the Fox Warrior was one of their own, Lion Head didn’t use his full strength. He used the wooden handle of his long spear to hit. Coupled with the Fox Warrior’s decent physique, he only let out a scream and slumped to the ground, rather than his head exploding and dying on the spot.
The sudden turn of events left everyone present in a daze. After a while, the black-haired girl weakly poked Silver Fang with her finger. “Um, what happened?”
She only knew the common language of the beastmen, and the communication between the Fox Warrior, Lion Head, and Silver Fang earlier was in their local dialect. Therefore, she had no idea what had happened in this short period.
In her vision, the Fox Warrior suddenly started shouting, then exchanged a few words with Lion Head, and finally took out a bone from his pocket, seemingly intending to do something bad.
“He wanted to kill you.” Silver Fang glared at the Fox Warrior lying on the ground unhappily and said to Lion Head in an unfriendly tone, “Is this the attitude of the Steel Spear Tribe?”
Lion Head immediately showed an apologetic expression. He didn’t know what was wrong with the Fox Warrior to commit violence in front of everyone, and in such a strange way.
In Lion Head’s impression, the Fox Warrior had always been a shrewd, military advisor type. Every time there was a fight, this guy would hide behind and watch. Over time, Lion Head had taken it for granted that the Fox Warrior was not good at fighting.
But from today’s performance, this damned fox seemed to have some power that he didn’t know about.
“He’s gone mad. Maybe he came into contact with something dirty recently.” Lion Head could only explain it this way, as he really couldn’t find any reason to explain why the Fox Warrior would do such a thing.
He had completely lost the composure he usually displayed. This was definitely a case of being possessed!
“I think he himself is the dirty thing,” Silver Fang’s gaze drifted to the bone amulet that the Fox Warrior had taken out from his pocket. “Isn’t this a protective charm from the Bone Wing Tribe?”
The amulet, lying on the ground with its front facing up, was engraved with a fierce beast spreading its wings and soaring. Silver Fang was no stranger to this pattern, wasn’t it the same pattern on the protective charms of the Bone Wing Tribe?
“Hmm?” Hearing this, Lion Head immediately walked to the amulet and carefully picked it up from the ground. After carefully examining it, his face gradually became angry. “This ungrateful bastard!”
No wonder, no wonder! No wonder this guy had always wanted to shift the blame to Silver Fang’s tribe. It turned out that he was originally from the Bone Wing Tribe, and thus wanted to protect his true master!
Hmph, believing in an alien god and being an ungrateful traitor, he must report this matter to the chieftain and let this bastard know the consequence of betrayal!
The black-haired girl on the side also understood the general situation with Silver Fang’s translation. She widened her watery eyes and asked in disbelief, “Why would such a cunning scoundrel appear among the beastmen? Aren’t your beastmen supposed to be very simple and honest?”
Silver Fang glared at Lion Head and translated the black-haired girl’s words verbatim.
Being questioned like this by the black-haired girl, Lion Head felt a bit embarrassed. Even though this girl looked frail, she was still a guest from another race, and moreover, she was a demon.
As everyone knows, demons are an exceptionally petty race. The grievances this girl suffered here might be exaggerated and become an excuse for the next large-scale invasion by the demon race.
Such a little ancestor must be served well.
Lion Head had not experienced the world war many years ago. When he came of age, the beastmen had been beaten to the point where they could not fight back and could only hide in the great plains. Except for being able to bully humans, the beastmen were only a step away from extinction.
Or rather, if the demons hadn’t been determined to go head-to-head with humans, the entire beastmen territory would have already belonged to the demons.
And the beastmen had always feared power rather than virtue. The demons had beaten them so hard that they were truly afraid of another world war.
As for humans? Those guys were not to be worried about at all.
Although that Sword Saint was very strong, humans were generally at a disadvantage. At most, they could only be on par with the beastmen, and were not at the same level as the powerful demons who could fight three at once.
“I will take him back to the tribe and interrogate him thoroughly. I promise you, he will certainly not have a good end!” Lion Head patted his chest and guaranteed. He could completely guarantee this matter. With the chieftain’s temper, if he encountered such a disloyal scoundrel, he would definitely fly into a rage and skin and bone this damned fox, torturing him to death.
“As for other compensation, a special envoy will be sent later to negotiate with Miss Silver Fang. This way, Miss, are you satisfied?”
Seeing Lion Head’s subservient demeanor, Silver Fang was also a little unaccustomed to it. She quickly waved her hand, “Compensation is not necessary. As long as this person receives the punishment he deserves.”
“No, no, there must be compensation. Our tribe is not short of such things.” Lion Head quickly replied, afraid that his property would not be given away.
After pushing and shoving for several times, they reached an agreement with the black-haired girl’s mediation. “How about giving Silver Fang’s tribe some food? Winter is approaching, and Silver Fang’s food reserves are not much. If they can receive help from your tribe at this time, they will be very grateful.”
“Yes, yes, yes, it’s decided then!” Lion Head agreed repeatedly. Their tribe had too much food, so giving out some as compensation was not a problem at all.
Besides, they hadn’t discussed the specific amount of compensation yet. When the beastmen specializing in handling such matters in the tribe came to negotiate, they should be able to keep the compensation to a very low number.
He was just expressing his attitude now, letting this demoness know that the beastmen were actually very friendly, and not all beastmen were as evil and cunning as the damned fox. It was to leave a good impression of the beastmen on her.
“Speaking of which, why is this lady here? Logically, shouldn’t the guests from the demon race go to the interior of the great plains?” Lion Head asked casually.
Hearing this question, the black-haired girl’s expression became a little embarrassed. She fiddled with her fingers and whispered, “I accidentally pressed a button while messing with Teacher Lu’s magic machine. When I regained consciousness, I was already here.”
Leticia’s explanation made Lion Head nod. He thought about it with his slightly smooth brain and felt that what this girl said was probably true. Demons, causing such things was very normal.
“Then I’ll take this bastard back to report. If Miss is interested, you can also come to our Steel Spear Tribe as a guest.” Lion Head picked up the Fox Warrior with one hand, waved goodbye to the two girls, and led his subordinates towards the exit of the tribe.
