Chapter 765: Standoff

However, Xiong felt indifferent about this; the more people there were, the more complete they were, which was better. Whatever the problem, it could be solved all at once, and it wouldn't waste too much of his time for free. A tiny Chishe, with so many of their elite soldiers and fierce generals, could be dealt with easily.

At worst, if a Bomb were thrown over, even if they didn't suffer heavy casualties, according to their mindset of treating a Quake Lake as a Shenhu, they would certainly deify these people.

Thus, the whistling of Ma kept sounding, and Xiong and the others continued their journey without the slightest pause. Only Fu was alone, his heart in a mess. Perhaps after returning to the tribe, before he could even say a word to the Tribal Chief, he would be hacked to death on the spot by an axe and branded with the title of traitor.

The women of the Chishe had not gone very far; they were all in relatively nearby areas, picking wild fruits and vegetables in groups, collecting various Grass Seed, and if they were lucky, they could even catch prey to bring back.

The men would go a bit further, but upon hearing the continuous and sharp whistling, they also rushed back to the tribe without stopping, regardless of whether they had caught prey. Even if they had, if the prey was too large and affected their speed, they would choose to abandon it; after all, if they went too late, the tribe might be gone.

According to Fu's guidance, they were not far from the tribe and would arrive soon. After all, their tribe could not be too far from a water source; otherwise, why would they choose to live in a place with a water source? It was just that for the sake of safety and concealment, the place they chose was indeed difficult to walk, even somewhat steep. Cattle could not get up, but goats could.

Fu did not dare to ask questions on the road, only silently lowering his head to lead the way, until the dog in the team suddenly stopped. After lifting its head to sniff, it suddenly barked in one direction. The Huaxia Soldiers immediately began to be on alert, having already raised their Crossbow, pointing toward the place the dog indicated.

However, there was no movement there, at least not something a person could discover; there wasn't even the sound of rustling bushes. Fu had already roughly guessed it; after all, that direction was a path his tribesmen had to take when going out to hunt. For the safety of his own tribesmen, Fu had to humbly say: "Leader, we are about to reach our tribe now, it is very close. Perhaps, perhaps this wolf heard the voices of our tribesmen."

Fu explained, but the Huaxia Soldiers did not put down their Crossbow. After Xiong had the soldiers switch to Stone Arrowhead, he shot an arrow in that direction. After there was no reaction, everyone lifted their guard. At this time, the military dog's reaction was also not obvious, appearing uninterested; presumably, the people there should have walked far away.

And in the direction they shot, a team of hunters happened to pass by. Such a big commotion on the Huaxia side could not escape the ears of these hunters. After secretly taking a look, they found that the number of enemies was not large, but these few people had no way, so they planned to return to the tribe first. Unexpectedly, they were discovered by a wolf, and only then did they leave at the fastest speed.

The shot Arrow, after hitting a rock, shattered, without producing any impact. If it were an Iron Arrowhead, Huaxia would lose a piece of precious Iron. Refining is not easy, and casting is not easy. Only in necessary circumstances, or if they could ensure the arrow could be retrieved, would they use an Iron Arrowhead; otherwise, they would use the Stone Arrow, which had the largest quantity and the lowest cost.

Fu did not lie to them either. After passing through a small path that was obviously trodden by people every day, the view suddenly opened up. On a piece of flat ground that was not too large, many messy wooden sheds were built. This was the Chishe camp.

However, as far as their eyes could see, they did not see a single person, but the state of the military dog indicated that there were many enemies here, which was very dangerous.

Xiong did not risk going out directly, but pushed Fu a step forward, letting him go out to speak.

Fu could now be said to be in a dilemma. He did not know what his status was now, but in the eyes of his tribesmen, it was absolutely disgraceful. But he had no choice, so he had to walk tremblingly out of the cover of the trees on the path to a place with an open view.

And at this time, the soldiers hiding behind the sheds, holding a Spear ready to throw at any time, as well as those hiding in the trees, holding long bows and pinching stones in their hands ready to attack, saw that Fu had actually led the enemies over, and each of them was so angry that their teeth itched.

When Fu's woman saw that her man was actually like this, she immediately felt very ashamed, holding a long Spear in her hand, ready to rush out and kill him at any time.

Fu shouted to the shed where the tribesmen were hiding: "Tribal Chief, they are people of Huaxia, and also the masters of the Jiangshui Tribe. The Jiangshui Tribe brought them here to reclaim their territory. Now they want you to come out; they have something to discuss with you."

That woman was burning with rage and shouted: "Discuss my ass!" Afterwards, she stepped and exerted force, throwing the long Spear in her hand toward Fu. The sharp-eyed Huaxia Soldier immediately pulled Fu with his hand, dragging him back. The next second, that long Spear flew past the position where Fu was and hit a tree. If Fu had stood in place, he would definitely have been pierced through.

Ma did not blame that woman. Fighting was inevitable, and such a performance by a woman was also what a true, qualified person of the Chishe should do.

Ma did not come out, but shouted loudly to Xiong and the others: "The Jiangshui Tribe has long since ceased to exist; how could there be people from the Jiangshui Tribe coming to reclaim their territory? Now this place has been occupied by our Chishe. If you want the land we live on, then there is only fighting. If you want to die, then come over; if you don't want to die, then throw Fu over and run away early!"

As soon as Ma finished speaking, a group of people immediately shouted and howled to cheer them on. Those hiding in the trees were all qualified hunters; they had to hide their tracks.

However, at this time, there were still some soldiers who arrived late from afar, and some were even still on the road. After seeing the situation of the tribe, they immediately chose to climb the nearest tree, hide, and observe the current situation.

Fu had a mournful face, not knowing what to say to Xiong. Xiong did not pay attention to him, but let Xi shout again. If these people did not listen, they would have to use force; it was impossible to keep deadlocked like this.

Xi naturally would not risk going out; after all, there was a possibility of death as soon as he showed his head, so he also hid well and then shouted: "Chishe, I am the Shaman of the Jiangshui Tribe. The Jiangshui Tribe did not perish, but left here after the disaster occurred and headed to the distance. Now our master is Huaxia. I brought our master to reclaim the territory that belongs to us.

We do not intend to kill you, and do not want to use force. As long as you are willing to submit to Huaxia, Huaxia can give you a better place to live and provide you with help and protection, allowing your tribe to develop and grow better."
