Chapter Eight, Suspicion
In this way, another month passed in the blink of an eye. In this month, Ning Yuan had fought hard to improve his strength.
Every time he hunts, he rushes in the front, and no matter what beast he faces, he adopts a savage style of fighting head-on.
As the saying goes, you can't do anything wet when you walk by the river. Ning Yuan is no exception. Facing the fierce attacks of wild beasts again and again, he can't completely avoid them every time. The scars of all sizes on his body are the best proof.
Although he often fails, with his sensitive skills, he has never been hit by a beast before. The scars on his body are just skin trauma for him. As long as he applies herbs in time, he will have scars in two or three days.
As long as a person is willing to work hard, he will be rewarded. Under Ning Yuan's crazy practice of almost self-harm, his own strength has also been significantly improved.
Now, his military, agility and endurance have grown to six stars, intelligence and spirit have grown to five stars, commander has grown to three stars, and politics has grown to two stars. In addition to force and commander, other attributes have grown to the limit.
As his strength continued to improve, Ning Yuan's status in the tribe also improved significantly, because of his barbaric and violent fighting style, many young warriors in the tribe admired him. Unconsciously, he also had his own small circle.
In this month, the Grizzly Bear tribe successfully annexed three small tribes, not only increasing a large population, but also obtaining two very important crop resources.
These two crops are potatoes and carrots. After obtaining the resource area of these two crops, not only did the food crisis of the Grizzly Bear tribe be alleviated, but there were also two delicious foods on the dinner tables of the tribe warriors.
This made every meal full of barbecue, and the stewed warriors were overjoyed. After all, in the era without salt, the meat was really not delicious, and eating meat every meal was even more boring.
Ning Yuan has gained a lot in this month, but everything has gains and losses. After he gained status and fans, he gradually aroused the suspicion of the patriarch Xiong Shan.
When attacking the first two tribes, Ning Yuan rushed forward with one move, and then knocked down the opponent's leader in a few seconds, leading the warriors of the Grizzly Tribe to achieve an overwhelming victory.
In this era of advocating the strong, as Ning Yuan showed stronger and stronger strength, some young warriors in the tribe were completely impressed by his strength and began to follow his leader.
At this time, Ning Yuan's strong rise finally attracted the attention of the patriarch Xiong Shan.
If he allowed to develop like this, Ning Yuan's reputation in the tribe will sooner or later surpass Xiongshan. As the leader of a clan, this is something Xiongshan cannot tolerate. So he began to gradually isolate Ning Yuan and prevent him from participating in some important actions in the tribe.
During the first two annexation wars, Ning Yuan was in the limelight, so in the third annexation war, Xiong Shan sent him and his followers elsewhere, and he himself led his people to capture the tribe.
And this was just the beginning. In the subsequent hunting operation, Ning Yuan and his followers were also excluded.
Since he got potatoes and carrots, the tribe was no longer short of food, so Xiongshan no longer needed Ning Yuan to hunt wild animals, and he did not give him a chance to show off. To put it bluntly, Xiongshan would not take him to Ning Yuan to play.
Ning Yuan was not a fool either. He felt Xiong Shan’s hostility towards him. However, Xiong Shan was the leader of a clan after all, so he could only act according to Xiong Shan’s orders and explored around every day with the group of soldiers who were only his leader.
In fact, Xiong Shan thought of killing Ning Yuan when he threatened his status.
But as a warrior of the tribe, Ning Yuan made great contributions to the tribe. As long as he did not make any mistakes, even Xiong Shan, as the leader of the clan, could not kill him casually.
So Xiong Shan could only settle for the second best, making Ning Yuan and his followers increasingly marginalized in the tribe, thereby reducing Ning Yuan's reputation in the tribe.
Xiong Shan wants Ning Yuan to die, and Ning Yuan is even dreaming of killing Xiong Shan.
However, Xiong Shan has been promoted to him and is the leader of a clan. If Ning Yuan wants to get the entire Grizzly Bear tribe, he must not take action by himself, and even make people suspect him, otherwise he will get the reputation of killing the master, which is not conducive to his future development.
So the two of them got along with each other with ulterior motives but were safe. As long as it was the order issued by Xiong Shan, Ning Yuan would directly execute it without hesitation, and would not give the other party the opportunity to seize the handle.
Of course, with Ning Yuan's personality, he would not just wait for death so easily. He was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that could kill Xiongshan, and it would not make people suspect him.
Tribes in the Stone Age often fought for food and territory. It can be said that tribal wars were the main theme of this era.
There is a naked competitive relationship between tribes. The final result is either one party takes the initiative to evacuate or one party is completely swallowed up by the other party.
The conflict between tribes can be said to be commonplace, so Ning Yuan did not wait long before this opportunity came.
After annexing three tribes, the Grizzly Bear tribe began to border with the Silver Fox tribe. The direct consequence of the two tribes bordering is that some conflicts often break out from time to time.
Since at the beginning, neither side was absolutely sure to annex the other, they just sent some soldiers to test each other.
As the conflict continues to escalate, both sides have almost figured out the strength of each other, and a full-scale war may break out at this time.
After Xiong Shan understood the strength of the Silver Fox Tribe, he began to mobilize pre-warly. This time he was absolutely sure to take down the Silver Fox Tribe, and this was on the premise of excluding Ning Yuan and those who were the ones.
After the pre-war mobilization, Xiong Shan made an exception and gave the soldiers who were about to participate in the war a half-day vacation, allowing them to accumulate energy in the tribe in preparation for tomorrow's war.
After learning that his group was excluded from the list of participating in the battle, Ning Yuan took the initiative to come to Xiongshan. He knelt on one knee in front of Xiongshan and begged anxiously:
"Clan leader, the Silver Fox Tribe is no better than the small tribes before. We should concentrate our efforts to defeat them in one fell swoop, so please allow us to participate in tomorrow's battle."
"Why, without you, I can't take a small Silver Fox Tribe? Apart from you, are the other warriors in the tribe who are fond of use?"
Ning Yuan's words made Xiong Shan very unhappy, so he didn't show Ning Yuan a good face.
"The subordinate does not mean that, the subordinate means."
"Okay, you don't have to say anything more. I have decided. You will take your team of people to monitor the movements of the White Tiger Tribe tomorrow to prevent them from taking advantage of the situation. Your mission tomorrow is not easy, so go back and rest early."
Xiong Shan interrupted Ning Yuan's explanation and sent him back directly.
