At night, the Gu Yuan Tribe had gone through a life-and-death parting during the day and had become quiet. Vaguely, one could hear some sobbing coming from somewhere in the tribe. Other than the patrolling soldiers, there were only a few flickering lights in the tribe.
At this moment, the top of the stone tower at the center of the tribe was brightly lit. There were only a few people sitting in the main hall. Other than Xiao Chen, who was sitting in the main seat, there were also the Great Elder Tie Wen, the Third Elder Xiao Qin, and Mu Qing. At this moment, the atmosphere in the main hall was slightly heavy, and no one spoke.
After a long time, Xiao Chen was the first to break the silence in the hall. After recuperating for a few hours, although Xiao Chen's injuries had not completely healed, his body that had been torn apart by the medicinal power had completely healed. He only needed to recuperate for a few days before he could return to his peak state.
"Great Elder, did something happen in the tribe while I was away on an expedition?"
"Chief, a few days after Chief left the tribe, one of the scattered tribes that originally belonged to our Gu Yuan Tribe tried to escape the Gu Yuan Tribe under the cover of the night. After they were discovered by the tribe's soldiers, they started a fight. Now, this tribe is under the control of our tribe's soldiers. Please decide how to deal with these traitors, Chief."
When he heard the Great Elder's words, Xiao Chen could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly. He did not expect that there would be people in the tribe who would dare to flee to the wilderness without any regard for their lives.
"Since this scattered tribe feels that our Gu Yuan Tribe is too small to accommodate them, I will not force them. However, our Gu Yuan Tribe is not a place where they can come and go as they please. Leave behind everything that belongs to the Gu Yuan Tribe and expel them from the tribe to fend for themselves. No one is allowed to hunt beasts or gather herbs or food within the territory of the Gu Yuan Tribe!"
"Yes, I will arrange for the elite soldiers of the tribe to expel them from the territory of the Gu Yuan Tribe and let them fend for themselves!"
The scattered tribe's escape was just a small interlude. These people who had betrayed the tribe were despised in the wilderness. Although Xiao Chen did not exterminate them, he would not be soft-hearted. Xiao Chen was not a saint, so he naturally would not pity these opportunists. He would confiscate their weapons and resources and expel them from the tribe. In the vast wilderness, there were many dangers. Whether they could survive or not depended on the luck of this scattered tribe.
"Alright, Grand Elder, our Gu Yuan Tribe has defeated the Mysterious Snake Tribe and the Kui Tribe. Although we have suffered heavy losses, we have seized countless resources and even obtained a Two-star Crimson Flame Beast. Have you finished tabulating the spoils of war?"
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Tie Tie and Shi revealed expressions of joy. Although they had lost several hundred warriors this time, and several hundred families of the tribe had raised their white sails, they had completely defeated the mountain that had suppressed the Gu Yuan Tribe for hundreds of years. These brave warriors had died a worthy death. Furthermore, the tribe would not let these brave warriors die in vain.
At the same time, they had brought back a large number of weapons, armor, and medicinal herbs. They had even brought back a Two-star Scarlet Flame Beast, which was comparable to a human Blood Refining Realm fierce beast. A few years ago, no one would have imagined that the Gu Yuan Tribe would have such prestige today.
"Reporting to the Tribe Leader, according to your orders, all warriors who participated in the battle can obtain 30% of the spoils of war. The remaining 7% will be handed over to the tribe. Apart from the remaining 3% of the warriors, we have collected a total of 1,100 complete sets of battle armor, 2,000 different weapons, 650 ordinary medicinal herbs, 500 precious herbs, more than 20 types of various ores, and a total of 50 jin. In addition, there are 800 complete warhorses, 30 One-star Unicorns, and five One-star Scarlet Flame Beasts."
"Good!
Since I have already promised to give 30% of the spoils of war to the families of the warriors who died in the battle, I will not break my promise. Great Elder, tomorrow, you will take out an equal amount of medicinal herbs and weapons from the tribe's warehouse and distribute them to the tribesmen!
After all, some of the tribesmen do not particularly need those mounts. "
"Yes!"
"Thanks to the two elders keeping watch over the tribe these days, I was able to lead the elite tribesmen on the expedition with peace of mind. This time, I will take out two of the five Scarlet Flame Beasts we obtained for the two elders to use as mounts."
"Thank you, Lord Tribe Leader. We don't deserve it!"
After waving his hand to stop the two elders from evading, Xiao Chen spoke again, "After this battle, the Guyuan Tribe will encounter far more dangers. Furthermore, I have seriously injured the Treasure Elephant Tribe's Great Elder. I believe that the secret of this Yuan Stone mine will also be exposed. With the strength of the Guyuan Tribe, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for us to hold on to this mine!"
The few of them did not say anything, quietly listening to Xiao Chen. Although Essence Stones were good, the most important thing was to be alive to enjoy them. Just think about the Mysterious Snake Tribe and the Kui and the Water Tribe. If the Ancient Yuan Tribe had not grown stronger, the Ancient Yuan Tribe might have already been destroyed. Now, they had offended the Treasure Elephant Tribe, which was even stronger than the Mysterious Snake Tribe and the Water Tribe. The danger was obvious.
"Furthermore, the grudge between me and the Treasure Elephant Tribe is far more than that. It can be said that the Guyuan Tribe and the Treasure Elephant Tribe are irreconcilable enemies!"
Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, Xiao Chen did not hide anything. After all, the three people in the hall were not only Blood Refining Realm warriors, but also the strongest fighting force of the Guyuan Tribe. They were also part of the Guyuan Tribe, so this matter was closely related to them.
"In Duanmu City, Elder Lin Shan and Tie Wen were attacked by the Treasure Elephant Tribe …" Just like that, Xiao Chen recounted how Elder Lin Shan and Tie Wen were bullied by the Treasure Elephant Tribe in Duanmu City, how he killed the Treasure Elephant Tribe's warriors, how he formed a grudge with the Treasure Elephant Tribe's Xiang Tian, and how he made the duel agreement.
The Bao Xiang tribe was a legendary existence to every tribe in Mega Stone Valley. It was a mountain that pressed down on countless tribes in Mega Stone Valley. Even in a remote place, one could still hear the illustrious name of this tribe.
Hearing Xiao Chen's narration, the air in the hall became stagnant again. Only the sizzling sound of the beast oil from the huge flame on the stone platform could be heard.
"Big Brother Xiao, Qing 'er believes in you. She believes that you will definitely lead the Guyuan Tribe to defeat the strong enemy. Under your leadership, the Guyuan Tribe has developed to such a level in just a year. When the battle on the platform starts, who can predict that the Guyuan Tribe will not be able to defeat the Treasure Elephant Tribe and win the Clan War?"
Mu Qing's words broke the silence in the main hall. The sudden voice caused Tie Wen Shi and the old man to blush. They had been through ups and downs for dozens of years in vain, yet they still couldn't catch up to the knowledge of a little girl.
This was only because Tie Wen and Tie Wen were a little absent-minded after hearing that the Treasure Elephant Tribe had become the enemy of the Guyuan Tribe. After all, in their decades of experience, the strength of the Treasure Elephant Tribe had long been engraved in their hearts.
"Patriarch, our Gu Yuan Tribe has been established for 800 years. Countless ancestors have sacrificed their lives for the sake of our tribe's reproduction. Even if it's the Treasure Elephant Tribe, the men of our Gu Yuan Tribe still have sharp blades in their hands. We can slaughter strong enemies."
