After a brief silence, the crowd began to boil again.Unlike before, the atmosphere among the crowd was obviously different this time.In this tribe with a certain hierarchy, whoever becomes the next leader will have sufficient food and the best housing.The most important thing is to get rid of the "waste" left by the previous patriarch.

Luo, who was standing on the stage, has not spoken since announcing the news of the leader's death.Xin Zou hid behind a tree and never took his eyes off Luo. This woman named Luo is a bit strange.Logically speaking, as the leader of her husband died, the emotion she revealed should be sadness, but Ke Luo's sadness only surfaced.

Judging from her constantly clenched and loosened fists, Luo's current mood should be nervous or even a little scared.Xin Zou frowned, and he glanced at the stone house in front of him, with a gloomy and unclear emotion in his eyes.

It can be seen that many people in the tribe play the position of leader.In just a few minutes, a smell of sex began to permeate the crowd.There are many men in the tribe who are physically strong and have superb hunting skills.At a glance, the noisy crowd seemed to have been divided into gangs, and the people who were originally crowded together became torn apart.

A few slightly taller skeletons stood among the crowd, looking ready to move.Among them, Xin Xiao saw the two brothers standing at the end of the line.They seemed to be undecided, the younger brother forced the older brother to go to one of the small groups, but Yun was obviously reluctant.Unsurprisingly, the two brothers clashed over this.After a short quarrel, the younger brother squeezed into one of the small groups without hesitation.

Yun shook his head helplessly, as if he was angry with his younger brother, but after persuading him to no avail, he left the crowd without looking back.

Xin Xiao is not very interested in this imminent battle for the leader. What he cares most about now is the "trash" hidden in this stone house.Intuition told him that the man and Zhao Ying were both in the stone house.Taking advantage of the fact that the crowd's attention was on the few candidates for the leadership who were in their early years, Xin Zou walked lightly from under the big tree to the back of the stone house.

The manufacturing process of this period was very rough. As soon as Xin Xiao walked to the back of the house, he saw that there were many gaps between stones and stones on the walls of the stone house.The width of some gaps allows people to clearly see the interior of the house.The sudden surprise eased Xin Xiao's face, and he slightly leaned his head towards the gap.

He probably scanned the interior of the stone house. Compared with their future house, this stone house is not as good as a doghouse.The house is small in size and the interior is rough and simple.A piece of wild animal skin was spread on a flat stone, and a boy with white hair lay on the skin.Except for this young man, Xin Zou did not see Zhao Ying in the stone house.

Xin Hao found that this young man was different from the group of skeletons outside the door. He was a complete person. Judging from his movements and eyes, he should be regarded as the only living person in this foreign land.

Xin Zou subconsciously clenched his fists, and he continued to look at the boy lying on the stone bed.The boy was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and his complexion was pale without any blood.The area around the boy's neck was covered tightly by animal skins, but he didn't look like a person who could eat.Judging by his size, he probably can't eat as much as Zhao Ying, let alone bring food crisis to this tribe.

Maybe it was because the noise outside the stone house was too loud, the boy suddenly turned his head to one side, staring at the rough wooden door of the stone house without moving.

Not long after, the people outside the stone gate began to disperse one after another, and Luo, who had been staying outside, suddenly pushed the door open and entered.

"Luo..." The young man struggled to raise his head when he saw Luo, but after struggling several times to no avail, he stopped in frustration.

Luo seemed to be very clear about the boy's intentions in every move. She raised her legs and walked to the stone bed and took a piece of animal skin and placed it under the boy's neck so that he could raise his head.

"What to do, Jin." Luo called out sadly, his voice full of despair.Jin is her child, who can only lie on the bed since birth.In the tribe, such a child will be abandoned as soon as it is born. This has been a rule since the establishment of the tribe, and no one has ever broken it.But she couldn't bear it, she did everything possible to keep Jin...

Luo sat weakly on the stone pier beside her, and she no longer had the strength to support herself to stand up.Recalling the little things of the past, Luo felt extremely regretful.Now that Jin has become like this, she can't escape the responsibility.

After a long silence, Luo whispered: "Let's go, find a safe place to hide." She glanced at her hands, "I will let you be well."

Her words were soft but powerful, but the boy lying on the bed did not respond to her.

After another period of silence, the boy raised his eyes and said coldly, "Luo, I will be the new leader."

After saying that, he with difficulty retracted his head into the animal skin and kept silent.The boy's words made Luo very sad. She was stunned for a while, muttering something in a low voice.After chanting, Luo got up and walked out, looking determined and desperate from behind.

After watching the play, Xin Zou didn't stay any longer.He returned from the same road, and there were only a few skeletons walking on the road. Seeing their hurried appearance, they must have something important to discuss.After returning, Xin Zou didn't go directly to Li Tianzhi, he walked in the direction Yun pointed before.

Li Tianzhi saw his senior brother coming back from a distance, and the corner of his mouth almost reached his ears, but his senior brother suddenly turned and got farther and farther away from him.He could only watch helplessly as Xin Xiao's back walked away again, and then pitifully retracted his head back into the grass.His skin is very sensitive. He has been nesting in the grass for a long time, and now he has a rash all over his body. If he dies this time, he will probably itch for less than half a month.

Li Tianzhi only felt that he was in a miserable situation, but he didn't know that Xin Zou had turned this way specially so that his junior brother could see him.Although this is very unkind, it can't hold back his happiness as a senior brother.He couldn't see that his junior brother was afraid of doing anything, especially this time Li Tianzhi unleashed the Taotie seal without authorization. Their current situation was inseparable from Li Tianzhi's efforts.

It is also time for him to discipline Li Tianzhi for his master.

After deliberately playing tricks on Li Tianzhi, Xin Zou went straight to the room that Yun had pointed out to him before.Looking from a distance, there is a dilapidated thatched shed at the foot of the mountain.The grass shed was built with a few wooden stakes and some branches, and there seemed to be no other valuable things in the shed except for a few pieces of hides with bad coats.

Seeing Xin Xiao approaching, Yun was obviously surprised.He raised his head and looked at Xin Hao, and seeing Xin Hao standing in front of him safe and sound, Yun looked a little puzzled.

"When do they want to kill the people in the stone house?" Xin Xiao asked a question before Yun could speak.

Yun was a little displeased with Xin Zou's question of overstepping the rules. Instead of answering Xin Zou immediately, he looked wary at him instead.

"Why are you asking this?" Yun said, taking a few steps back, quietly grabbing his usual hunting weapon with his hands behind his back.

Xin Zou, of course, saw through his little move at a glance.

Xin Xiao was not scared away by Yun's defensiveness, he stared at Yun steadfastly, and asked seriously, "You don't want him to die, do you?"

Xin Zou's one after another question hit the cloud a little out of breath, and he raised his head to meet Xin Zou's face with dark eye sockets.After a while, he sighed softly.

"tomorrow."

Yun turned around, and he stared at Shimao, which had been stained red by the beast's blood.

"He will be the spoils of the victor, to be sacrificed in blood when a new chief is born."

Yun finished speaking word by word, and at some point in his hands that were nothing but bones, he had grasped the stone spear.

He is also a poor man.
