Upon hearing Xiong Wei's shameless declaration, Xue Lianlian didn't hesitate and immediately retorted, "Who is your woman? Stop talking nonsense!"
Unable to face the denial from Xue Lianlian, Xiong Wei felt he couldn't hold his face any longer.
With a sinister sneer, Xiong Wei declared, "Talking nonsense? I'll tell you, Xue Lianlian, you better surrender to me. Otherwise, with just one word from me, your entire tribe will find no footing in Miaojiang. By then, you'll be the sinner of the entire tribe!"
After his cold threat, he looked at Hu Xiaobei and stated, "Kid, it seems you're not from our Miaojiang. I advise you not to court death. My grandfather is a very powerful wizard. If you offend me, you'll die a miserable death!"
In Xiong Wei's view, as long as he revealed his identity, he was sure to scare the other party into wetting his pants—after all, his identity was extremely terrifying!
"Xiong Wei has revealed his identity, this young man is probably going to back down now!"
"Definitely!"
"He just looks like a tourist, how could he possibly dare to oppose Xiong Wei!"
"That's right!"
As Xiong Wei disclosed his identity, everyone in the vehicle whispered softly...
Hearing everyone's murmurs, Hu Xiaobei laughed, and soon after, he bluntly stated, "Scram!"
"You... you... you're telling me to scram?"
Xiong Wei's expression turned extremely ugly...
He hadn't expected such a seemingly frail young man to dare talk to him like that.
"Yes! I'm telling you to scram, now scram!"
"You're looking for death, you're really courting death!"
Yelling furiously, the enraged man charged towards Hu Xiaobei.
Hu Xiaobei glanced at him, swiftly raised his leg, and just like that, he kicked him away by four to five meters...
"Oh my Guaiguai!"
"This young man is too brutal!"
"Exactly!"
Looking at Xiong Wei getting kicked away, everyone's mouths twitched...
At this moment, as they saw Xiong Wei being humiliated, they all felt extremely thrilled...
In their view, such trash deserved a good beating...
"You... you actually dare to hit me... you... just you wait, I'll make sure you die, I will kill you for sure!"
After clumsily getting up from the ground, Xiong Wei roared crazily and soon, he ran away...
Xiong Wei knew he was no match for Hu Xiaobei, so he was now preparing to get help!
"He's running fast indeed!"
Looking at him sprint away, Hu Xiaobei sneered...
Soon, Hu Xiaobei looked at the driver and ordered, "Keep driving!"
"Okay!"
The driver agreed and quickly continued driving...
...
"Brother Xiong, what happened to you?"
On the SUV, after Xiong Wei got on the car in disgrace, the driver asked in astonishment!
He had been with Xiong Wei for many years and had never seen him in such a sorry state, making it hard to believe his own eyes!
"Stop talking, hurry back to the tribe, I need to find someone, I want revenge!"
"Yes!"
Even though he didn't yet understand what had happened, the driver didn't hesitate and quickly started the car!
After the car started, he looked at Xiong Wei through the rearview mirror, still unable to believe that Xiong Wei had been beaten, and beaten badly at that!
Not just him, Xiong Wei himself also found it hard to believe...
Previously, knowing his grandfather Xiong Yan was extremely powerful, Xiong Wei knew that no one in Miaojiang would dare touch him, so he hadn't brought any bodyguards, but now, he had been beaten!
"From now on, I really need to bring bodyguards!"
After murmuring so sadly, he angrily hammered the car seat...
He knew if he had bodyguards today, it definitely wouldn't have been so tragic!
Hearing the noise, the driver knew that Xiong Wei was thoroughly enraged...
"Not sure who angered him, but that person should really start praying for themselves!"
Murmuring so, he sped up...
The car quickly raced away...
On the car, Hu Xiaobei glanced at Xue Lianlian and said, "Sister Lian'er, you've been staring at me since earlier; surely there's nothing on my face!"
"There's nothing! Big Brother Xiaobei, I just think you're so amazing! You knocked that scumbag down so easily!"
Watching Xue Lianlian's excited demeanor, Hu Xiaobei smiled...
Soon, Hu Xiaobei and Xue Lianlian continued eating fruit together.
Half an hour later, the car securely stopped on the roadside, and Hu Xiaobei and Xue Lianlian got out together.
"Big Brother Xiaobei, the tribe ahead is my home, the Xuefeng Tribe!"
"This place is nice!"
Hearing Xue Lianlian's introduction, Hu Xiaobei looked at the tribe ahead and sincerely admired it!
Hearing Hu Xiaobei's praise, Xue Lianlian giggled proudly and declared, "Of course, our tribe has the most mountains nearby, so many herbalists like to come here to gather herbs!"
"It seems I really chose the right place this time."
"Yes, yes!"
As they chatted, they got closer to the village.
At that moment, Hu Xiaobei noticed a faint mist emerging from the surrounding mountains.
Looking at the greenish mist, Hu Xiaobei knew it must be miasma.
"Miaojiang, truly not an ordinary place!"
Taking a deep breath, Hu Xiaobei marveled.
"Big Brother Xiaobei, us..."
Just as Xue Lianlian saw Hu Xiaobei observing the surrounding woodlands, about to say something, she suddenly saw all the villagers gathered nearby.
Xue Lianlian noticed it, and so did Hu Xiaobei.
Hu Xiaobei knew that there was clearly a problem with the tribe.
While thinking this, Hu Xiaobei heard roaring voices ahead.
"Shanwu Tribe is really out of line!"
"Exactly! They even plan to forcibly occupy the Medicinal Field behind our village."
"It's utterly shameless, we should fight them."
"Shanwu Tribe?"
He muttered a few times, not recognizing the name.
But Hu Xiaobei knew that the Shanwu Tribe must be a small tribe nearby.
Before coming to Miaojiang, Hu Xiaobei knew there were many tribes in Miaojiang.
Many tribes didn't get along because Miaojiang's resources were limited. Occasionally, some tribes would indeed be annexed…
"Everyone, I know everyone is angry, but we can't really fight to the death with Shanwu Tribe now! The wizard of the Shanwu Tribe has just advanced a major level recently, while our village's wizard was injured before! If we fight recklessly, it's impossible for us to win."
"We know! But do we just let them bully us?"
"Exactly!"
"We can't accept this!"
Everyone knew what the elder was saying made sense, but they still couldn't accept it.
"For now, we can only swallow our pride. Once our tribe's wizard recovers, or if another wizard emerges in our tribe, everything will change!"
"But wizards, how easy is that!"
"Exactly!"
"Ah!"
Seeing everyone's mood was very low, the elder waved his hand, "Alright, let's all disperse!"
"Yes!"
After a heavy sigh, everyone gradually dispersed…
After everyone had left, Hu Xiaobei softly sighed.
Miaojiang revered witchcraft…
All the young people in the tribes practiced witchcraft, hoping to become wizards.
But it was difficult; many tribes had many wizards, many had none, and this created disparities among the tribes.
The wizard of the tribe where Xue Lianlian resided seemed to have only been injured, so the Shanwu Tribe couldn't resist and wanted to forcibly occupy the Medicinal Field…
…
"Shanwu Tribe is really infuriating!"
Hearing Xue Lianlian speak so angrily, Hu Xiaobei gently patted her shoulder, "Sister Xueer, tell me about this Shanwu Tribe! Also, what happened to your village's wizard? Was he injured?"
"Brother Xiaobei, our village's wizard is my mother Xueyao! She was ambushed and injured by the wizard Shan Dumu from the Shanwu Tribe before!"
"I see, then this Shan Dumu really is despicable!"
After listening to Xue Lianlian's account, Hu Xiaobei felt no sympathy for Shan Dumu…
"Alright, Brother Xiaobei, let's not talk about these sad things. I'll take you to the small hill behind our village, where my mother Xueyao is now living."
"On the hill, isn't there miasma?"
"Not at all! Our tribe has transformed that hill, so there's no miasma there."
"I see, then let's go!"
"Okay!"
While talking, Hu Xiaobei and Xue Lianlian walked toward the small hill ahead.
On the way, Hu Xiaobei met many people who were all hurrying.
Xue Lianlian greeted them, and they nodded gently, none of them really wishing to talk much.
…
"It feels like a storm is coming!"
As a foreigner, Hu Xiaobei could clearly sense the crisis…
With a sigh, Hu Xiaobei looked at Xue Lianlian.
He noticed that she no longer seemed as happy as before!
Hu Xiaobei knew she was clearly aware of her tribe's dire situation.
"If I can help, then I might as well lend a hand!"
Hu Xiaobei looked at her, speaking with a hint of heartache…
In the past, Hu Xiaobei had encountered wizards and currently had two working for him.
Thus, Hu Xiaobei was not intimidated by wizards.
As he thought about this, Hu Xiaobei suddenly smelled a strong fragrance of herbs!
Looking up, Hu Xiaobei realized that he and Xue Lianlian had already reached the small hill behind the tribe.
"This herbal aroma is very strong; it seems this tribe's Medicinal Field is quite exceptional, no wonder the Shanwu Tribe has set their sights on it."
While muttering to himself, Hu Xiaobei, led by Xue Lianlian, walked past the front and entered a quiet corner.
Hu Xiaobei looked ahead, clearly seeing a large area of Medicinal Garden...
At this moment, various medicinal herbs were planted here.
Although these herbs were not of very high age, there were indeed many types...
"People say Miaojiang land is more suitable for the growth of herbs, and it seems to be true indeed!"
While genuinely admiring, Hu Xiaobei heard a cautious inquiry, looked up, and saw a woman with a slightly pale face squinting at him.
"Didn't you hear me speaking? Who are you?"
"I..."
Just as Hu Xiaobei was about to speak, he saw Xue Lianlian quickly run over.
"Mom, this is Brother Xiaobei, Hu Xiaobei, whom I met before."
Hearing her daughter's introduction, her expression softened a bit, but she still stared at Hu Xiaobei…
Hu Xiaobei noticed this, smiled politely, and then walked straight toward her while sizing her up, quickly frowning slightly…
