"Who are you...?" The skeleton's tone was full of curiosity, but otherwise the skeleton was not hostile to them.Seeing Xin Xiao and Li Tianzhi nesting in the grass, he looked around for a while, and then followed them.

After the skeleton sat down, its empty eye sockets swayed slightly following the movements of Xin Xiao and Li Tianzhi.It looked like he was looking at the two of them.

Although Li Tianzhi is an ancient hunter, he is usually very timid.Since he was a child, he couldn't see things like skeletons and ghosts.Now being looked at by those dark eye sockets, the goosebumps on his arms came out bit by bit.He looked at the familiar skeleton sitting next to them with a look of horror, panicked to death.

His senior brother is also true, he was discovered by others, and he still had a calm expression on his face, causing him to fall into the trap unprepared.His senior brother didn't know what was going on during this time, and his temper became more and more strange. He always felt that Xin Zou was infected by the little emperor.Li Tianzhi secretly scolded Xin Xiao in his heart, and then pretended to stare at the tip of his shoe calmly. He didn't dare to look at the noseless and eyeless thing next to him.

Compared with Li Tianzhi, Xin Zou seemed much calmer and more natural.He looked directly at the face of the skeleton, and replied flatly: "We accidentally encountered heavy rain while hunting, lost our way, and entered here by mistake."

The skeleton nodded and agreed: "The weather is a bit unpredictable recently."

"Then what are you going to do now? Our tribe doesn't accept outsiders." Speaking with a hint of worry in the skeleton's tone, he continued: "The tribe has been short of food recently and can't afford to support idlers. The forest outside is deep and there are many wild animals. The two of you It's too small."

As he spoke, the skeleton looked between Xin Hao and Li Tianzhi with his dark eye sockets, and he let out a long sigh.The physique of these two people is not as good as Xiao, and now is just the time for wild beasts to breed offspring. With their two small bodies, it is a dead word to go out.But... just like what Xiao said, that person's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and the tribe really can't afford any other extra food to take in these two thin idlers.

While speaking, the skeleton gently pushed the leaves by his legs inward.It wasn't that he was hard-hearted, Xiao was angry and didn't eat just now, and if he went hunting hungry, his life would be in danger.

Food shortage?Xin Zou suddenly remembered what the hot-tempered boy had said before.The words of these two people all revealed the same message. There is a so-called "waste" that has caused the tribe to face a food crisis.As for who this "trash" is, Xin Xiao had a rough guess in his heart.

"Why don't I send you out?" The skeleton obviously couldn't make up his mind, hesitated for a long time, and gave them a proposal that he thought was the best of both worlds.

Xin Xiao shook his head, "It's not enough yet, one of our companions got lost here, we have to find him first."

"In our tribe?" The skeleton looked surprised, and his voice rose a little bit.He scratched the back of his head, as if thinking of something.After a moment of thought, he shook his head in affirmation. "I haven't seen anyone else in the tribe except you two familiar faces."

Xin Xiao didn't answer the skeleton's words, he changed the subject and asked, "What's your name?"

"Ah...my name is Yun, and I am the hunter of this tribe."

"My name is Xin Zou, and I'm a hunter just like you." Xin Zou took out a small piece of animal bone from his bosom, and he continued: "The person who got lost this time is my younger brother. Find him. As you have seen, we have not finished eating our own food, so we will not increase the burden on your tribe."

Xin Zou's tone was very firm, and every word and every word revealed his determination to get his brother back.

Upon hearing the word "brother", Yun subconsciously clenched his fists.He and Xiao are brothers, so he understands the mood of the person in front of him very well.Recently, because of that incident, Xiao had conflicts with him several times. He was absent-minded even in hunting, and put himself in dangerous situations several times.Now that the person in front of him said that, he felt sympathy.

"Then what do you think?"

"Simple, just act as if you haven't seen us. I will leave here after I find my brother." Seeing Yun still hesitating, Xin Hao added, "Don't worry, we both have a good relationship with your tribe." No threat."

Yun raised his head and glanced at Xin Xiao, and then at the little man who was shrinking behind Xin Xiao.Indeed, these two people look like they can't beat Xiao together, and I really don't have to worry that these two people will endanger the safety of the tribe.

"Then you have to be careful, don't be discovered by others." Yun asked with some worry.The rest of the tribe never show mercy to unfamiliar faces. Fortunately, these two people met him. If it were another person, these two people might have died.

"rest assured."

"Well, Xiao and I live at the foot of the mountain over there. If... if you encounter any danger, you can come and find me."

After Yun pointed them in a direction, he got up and took his leaf and walked out of the grass.Xiao hasn't eaten yet, so he has to hurry up and get Xiao back.

"Brother, is this thing reliable?" After Yun's figure completely disappeared from their sight, Li Tianzhi poked his head out from behind Xin Zou timidly.

"More reliable than you."

Xin Zou didn't want to talk about Li Tianzhi's useless firewood at all. He threw the small piece of animal bone that he showed to Yun before on the ground, got up and walked deeper into the tribe.He must now figure out who the trash they are talking about is.Of course, there is also the whereabouts of Zhao Ying.His intuition told him that Zhao Ying must be in this tribe, but from what Yun said just now, the people in this tribe had obviously never seen Zhao Ying.

Where did Zhao Ying go?

Xin Zou walked faster and faster, Li Tianzhi struggled to limping along behind.Seeing that Xin Zou was about to disappear completely from his sight, Li Tianzhi had no choice but to stop his senior brother.

"Hey! Brother, walk slowly, I'm lame!" Li Tianzhi's voice was as loud as before, but luckily it wasn't loud enough for the group of skeletons to hear.

Xin Zou was very displeased with his junior brother's behavior as a monster. He turned his head and looked at Li Tianzhi with a dark face: "What do you want to do?"

Faced with his senior brother's black face, which was like the bottom of a pot, Li Tianzhi felt a little wronged.If it weren't for the skeleton monster that just appeared, he wouldn't have sprained his feet as an A-level ancient hunter.

He just wanted to howl with Xin Xiao for a while, but when he met Xin Xiao's eyes, Li Tianzhi immediately pointed to his sneakers honestly, "I sprained my ankle just now."

"I asked for it." After Xin Zou finished speaking, he didn't bother to look at Li Tianzhi, he turned his head and continued walking.

Li Tianzhi was dumbfounded, his senior brother's behavior was different from what was planned in the script!The last time Zhao Ying's spell broke out, his elder brother memorized it all morning. Now that his own younger brother sprained his ankle, his elder brother didn't even have a word of comfort.

It's really a downturn in the world, senior brother is ruthless!

Xin Zou secretly followed Yun into the interior of the tribe. As before, he took Li Tianzhi to hide in the grass.The interior of the tribe is much larger than it looks from the outside. Inside, there are many skeletons like clouds walking back and forth, looking very busy.Xin Xiao looked around, and it seemed that this tribe had begun to have a preliminary hierarchy.

The strong people live in the center of the tribe, while the thinner ones live sparsely on the outskirts of the tribe.Compared with these thin and small ones, the situation of the older ones is even worse. Most of their habitats are under big trees and big rocks.Surviving in such a tribe, it's no wonder that the boy's tone of voice was so bad.

While Xin Zou was hiding behind the bushes and observing, something seemed to have happened to the tribe. The skeletons who were walking in twos and threes on the road suddenly hurried towards a house in the center of the tribe.In an instant, hurried footsteps surrounded him and Li Tianzhi.After the sound of those footsteps had almost disappeared, Xin Zou stood up abruptly, stepped across the grass and followed.

"Brother!" Li Tianzhi yelled and got no response, so he limped behind Xin Xiao.

Xin Zou followed the skeletons all the way to the house in the center of the tribe.In front of that small room, hundreds of gray-white skeletons had already gathered.Judging by the way they whispered to each other, probably something terrible happened to this tribe just now.

Oh my god!Li Tianzhi came over to take a look, and the dense bone frame immediately made him retreat again.A skeleton made him feel good, let alone such a large piece.He hid back in the grass in a very hopeless manner, while praying that his senior brother would quickly find the little emperor, while praying that he would be discovered by those other skeletons.

Xin Zou, who was following the pile of skeletons, moved quietly behind the big tree behind the stone house, and he listened carefully to the sound from among the skeletons.From the beginning, he always felt that there was a familiar and strange atmosphere in this stone house.Maybe... Maybe Zhao Ying is here.

He stared fixedly at the crowd of noisy skeletons, but within a few minutes, probably all the people in the tribe could arrive, and a female skeleton walked out of the stone house.The noisy skeletons suddenly fell silent, and their heads were all facing the woman, as if there was something important to announce.

"Everyone..." A gentle female voice came out, with a trace of inexplicable sadness in her voice.It might be that what was about to be said would be unacceptable, the woman began to sob softly, and she didn't continue talking for a while.

Her reaction made the group of skeletons below restless again.After the restlessness subsided, a young voice asked eagerly, "Luo, what happened to the leader?"

The woman called Luo lowered her head, clenched her fists, and said word by word after a long silence: "The leader... he encountered a herd of wild beasts on the way back, and was seriously injured..."

Before Luo finished speaking, he covered his face with his hands and sobbed softly.It can be seen that Luo was a good-looking woman before she died. Even if she turned into a skeleton, I still feel pity for her every move.

When she said this, even if the people below didn't understand it very well, they secretly guessed about seven or eight points.

The leader is dead, and now the biggest crisis facing their tribe is not food shortage, but also to determine who will be the leader.
