This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 527 - 331: Encountering Qie Ye Again
Capítulo 527: Chapter 331: Encountering Qie Ye Again
In the Black Teeth Tribe.
Although Wu Yu was somewhat apprehensive about the growth speed of the Vine Tribe, both sides hadn’t torn their relationship apart yet, and there was still considerable trade between them, so he warmly entertained Jiang Xuan and took him for a tour around the tribe, clearly intending to showcase their strength.
The Black Teeth Tribe, being a trade-centered tribe, had a wide range of activities and indeed possessed a plethora of strange and rare items, opening one’s eyes to new wonders.
However, the Black Teeth Tribe mostly showcased raw materials and primary processed products, which could hardly impress Jiang Xuan.
Wu Yu was a very busy person, and after taking Jiang Xuan for a tour, he was soon summoned for other matters.
Before leaving, Wu Yu instructed the warriors in the trading area to look after Jiang Xuan, making sure not to offend him, and then he hurriedly left.
Jiang Xuan didn’t mind; wandering alone was more comfortable than being led by Wu Yu, letting him go wherever he pleased.
He strolled east and west in the trading area, and whenever he encountered something novel and potentially useful like plant seeds or food, he would trade them for salt or other goods.
Of course, none of these things were as valuable as the iron ore he obtained.
As he walked, a somewhat familiar silhouette appeared ahead, along with a familiar totem pattern.
Jiang Xuan paused in reflection for a moment, quickly recalling who it was, his eyes brightened, and he immediately strode forward.
“Qie Ye!”
Jiang Xuan walked up behind the person and suddenly patted him on the shoulder, his tone extremely relaxed.
“Swipe!”
Feeling someone patting him, Qie Ye’s heart tightened, and he instantly drew his Stone Knife, stabbing backward fiercely without hesitation.
However, when he turned around and saw Jiang Xuan’s face, he was visibly stunned and stopped the Stone Knife just as it was about to reach Jiang Xuan’s neck.
In fact, even had he not stopped, he couldn’t have stabbed Jiang Xuan because Jiang Xuan, being a Seven-Color Warrior, had reaction speeds far superior to his, and could easily sidestep this strike.
“Are you… Chief Xuan?”
Qie Ye retracted his Stone Knife and was taken aback looking at Jiang Xuan’s face, a surprised expression surfacing.
Back when he met Jiang Xuan, Jiang Xuan was only a Five-Color Warrior, and within two short years, he had become an immensely powerful Seven-Color Warrior!
The speed of such growth was simply unheard of.
Actually, Qie Ye’s growth in strength wasn’t slow either; within two years, he had grown from a Two-Color Warrior to a Four-Color Warrior, becoming much more mature than before, even his gaze had become fierce.
However, the difficulty of progressing from a Two-Color Warrior to a Four-Color Warrior compared to a Five-Color Warrior to a Seven-Color Warrior was worlds apart.
If one were lucky enough to find some rare and mystical plant fruits in the forest, a Two-Color Warrior might quickly breakthrough to a Three-Color, or even Four-Color Warrior.
But breaking from Five-Color to Seven-Color couldn’t be achieved by just a few mystical plant fruits.
Becoming a Seven-Color Warrior requires countless life-and-death battles and exceptional luck to obtain various power-enhancing items.
Ultimately, one’s tribe must be large because only a large tribe’s Totem God has the power to create a mighty Seven-Color Warrior.
It can be said that any Seven-Color Warrior is an absolute powerhouse with both luck and strength, the backbone and hope of the entire tribe.
Qie Ye’s father was also a Seven-Color Warrior, and he deeply knew how powerful a Seven-Color Warrior was.
Because of this, upon discovering Jiang Xuan had become a Seven-Color Warrior, a mix of envy, jealousy, admiration, and loss churned within him, making his expression extremely complex.
“Hahaha, Qie Ye, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
Jiang Xuan was delighted; in this perilous, extremely isolated Primordial World, randomly encountering a familiar face after two years in a distant place was indeed a matter worth celebrating.
Jiang Xuan still had a good impression of the once rebellious youth, Qie Ye, because if not for him, he wouldn’t have been able to enter the Ant Tribe, let alone visit the Old Turtle God’s relic within.
“I also didn’t expect to meet you here.”
Qie Ye sheathed his Stone Knife in the Sword Scabbard made from Beast Hide; although he felt joyful inside, his face found it hard to show a smile, and his eyebrows even carried an unshakeable hint of sorrow.
Jiang Xuan familiarly patted his shoulder, “Why do you seem unhappy?”
Seeing Jiang Xuan getting so close, though the ten or so warriors from the Ant Tribe standing nearby didn’t step in to stop him, they eyed him warily, secretly tightening their grip on their weapons for fear Qie Ye might get attacked.
However, Qie Ye was acutely aware that if Jiang Xuan truly intended harm, even a hundred from the Ant Tribe couldn’t protect him.
Qie Ye waved them off, signaling he was okay and they needn’t follow so closely.
Those warriors, though concerned, nonetheless obeyed Qie Ye’s command and didn’t get closer, instead following from a distance.
Jiang Xuan glanced at those warriors in surprise, then nonchalantly walked alongside Qie Ye.
Qie Ye spoke in a heavy tone, “Quite a lot has happened in the tribe recently, hard to be happy.”
Jiang Xuan probed, “Your Ant Tribe is a major tribe in the Central South Wilderness, is there really a tribe foolish enough to trouble you?”
Qie Ye shook his head, “It’s not related to an external tribe.”
Since it wasn’t related to external tribes, it must be an internal matter within the tribe.
Jiang Xuan had only visited the Ant Tribe once, having little knowledge about them, making it hard to speculate on what major events Qie Ye had encountered that transformed him from a rebellious youth into his current state.
At that moment, Jiang Xuan dearly missed the Thorny Vine led by Feng Chao; if they could develop in the Central South, he could acquire intelligence from various tribes promptly, avoiding the current blind guessing.
It seemed it was time to dispatch Feng Chao and some of the Thorny Vine warriors to the central region.
In fact, the reason Jiang Xuan went to great lengths to subdue the Rat Tribe, nurture them, and even decided after careful consideration to bestow them with a new Mouse God was because he valued the Rat Tribe’s innate pervasive abilities.
He hoped to utilize this ability of the Rat Tribe to establish a vast intelligence network in the central area, understanding the movements of various tribes, providing necessary intelligence support for Vine Tribe members entering the central area in the future and setting up a base.
However, the Rat Tribe was too weak; even if reluctantly integrated, their morale was scattered, and their strength pitifully fragile.
Relying on the Rat Tribe to establish an intelligence network in the Central South wasn’t something that could be achieved overnight; it would require a tremendous amount of effort and time.
Hence, directly bringing over a part of the relatively mature Thorny Vine members became the most expedient and realistic choice.
Furthermore, Jiang Xuan already knew the Bamboo Rat Tribe possessed a significant quantity of iron ore; he was eager to have the Vine Tribe’s fleet enter the central area to bring back that iron ore or directly establish a sturdy base there to smelt iron ore and manufacture iron tools.
While walking and conversing with Qie Ye in the Black Teeth Tribe’s trading area, Jiang Xuan pondered over these issues, inwardly sighing: So much to do!
