Chapter 159 What Do They Want?

The next day, Xiao Yan and his team went to the stone pile early in the morning. They took all the tribe's cars there, hoping to bring back more iron ore.

Shen Xiaoxiao stayed in the tribe with others to open up a new piece of land. They also dug a ditch to divert water from the river to the land. They had dug it before, but it was not deep, so water could easily flow into the land, especially when it rained heavily, it would be easy to flood the land.

Fortunately, the vegetables in that piece of land were harvested, otherwise it would be a waste of work.

"Dig this one wider." Shen Xiaoxiao pointed to the main ditch. This ditch was connected to the river to divert water from the river to the land. There were also several other ditches that connected to this ditch to receive water. This was the main ditch and was more important. If the water consumption was high, it would not be enough if it was too small.

"Dig this one deeper." This one was a bit shallow.

It took them nearly a day to expand the ditch to the height Shen Xiaoxiao wanted. Although this job looked simple, it was still very tiring to do it.

"Goddess, don't we have land to plant? Why do we need to open up another piece of land?" Someone asked in confusion. They had already planted what they should plant, and they couldn't do anything with the land.

"I want to use this land to cultivate some high-yield seeds. The yield of this seed is a bit low now, and this little land is not enough for the people in the tribe to eat." Shen Xiaoxiao said lightly. Even if they didn't make it an experimental field, they had to open up more land to plant, otherwise they couldn't support the entire tribe with just these few acres of land.

Although the people in the tribe were a little confused about what Shen Xiaoxiao said, they were obedient. Even if they didn't understand, they would still obey and complete it.

Shen Xiaoxiao didn't tell them too much. After a simple explanation, she didn't say anything else.

As soon as they sat down to rest, they saw a group of people approaching the tribe. They immediately saw that it was Xiao Yan and his group, and hurriedly smiled to greet them. After seeing the things in the car, everyone smiled happily, "Xiao Yan, you brought so much iron ore back... Come..." Seeing that there were people following them, the voice stopped abruptly.

"Who are they?" Why did they bring people back to the tribe after going out? And they didn't look like wanderers, but like people from a certain tribe.

"They are from the Qingteng tribe. We met them on the way back." Qingshan told the story slowly.

It turned out that they got to the stone pile smoothly, and did not encounter cannibals. They picked up iron ore smoothly, but they met them by chance on the way back. They learned from them that their tribe was invaded by cannibals, many tribesmen were killed, and now the tribe was also occupied by cannibals. They finally escaped and wanted to find someone to help. Originally, they wanted Xiao Yan to help their tribe, but they couldn't leave with the things, and Xiao Yan didn't agree to act rashly when they didn't know the truth.

They wanted to come back, but the two people kept following them, and they just looked at them with pleading eyes when they drove them away. Xiao Yan didn't want to go like this. After all, this was just their one-sided statement, and no one knew what happened. He didn't want to let the people of the tribe take risks, so he had no choice but to bring them back.

Hearing this, Shen Xiaoxiao's eyes swept over them. Their backs tightened and they forced a smile. Others just thought they were mourning the death of their tribesmen, but Shen Xiaoxiao felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell which aspect it was.

"Do you goddesses dislike us? We really just want to ask you for help. Please save our tribe, and we will repay you." She couldn't help crying.

Others comforted them and told them not to be sad.

And Shen Xiaoxiao felt even more strange. They didn't seem to mention her identity just now. How did the two of them know? Even if Xiao Yan and the others mentioned it on the road, how could the two of them know it was her accurately?

Maybe someone called her and let them hear it? That's why they knew her identity. Shen Xiaoxiao suppressed the doubts in her heart and looked at them with the same cold eyes as always.

"You wait here first, we will go find the witch doctor." Qingshan said softly. Now the tribe has many things that other tribes don't have. Even if they can't understand, he doesn't want them to see it. Just as the goddess said, you can know a person's face but not his heart, so be careful. Besides, this is the first time they meet, so how can they trust them?

Bringing them back is just because they are annoyed by them, and the tribe has a grudge against the cannibals. If they can unite several tribes to destroy the cannibals, it will be a happy event.

The two were not angry when they were neglected, and they smiled and waited for the witch doctor to arrive.

Shen Xiaoxiao felt more and more weird. Their tribe was in trouble and they were still in the mood to laugh? They didn't look worried at all, and they didn't look like people who had experienced a disaster at all, which was completely the opposite.

Shen Xiaoxiao suppressed her doubts and observed them carefully. This really made her find something wrong. They said they escaped from the cannibals, but they had no injuries at all, and even the hides were not messy at all. The hides on their bodies were gray, and it was obvious that some places were in pieces and a little dark, but they were definitely not stained with blood.

Looking at them again, although they were very flustered when they spoke, their eyes were clear and calm, and they didn't seem to be worried at all.

Soon the witch doctor came and was indignant after hearing about their experience. Those cannibals were too rampant to dare to openly attack a tribe.

Although the witch doctor sympathized with them, he did not directly agree to help them. After all, although they were very pitiful, the witch doctor did not want to make fun of the lives of the people in the tribe. No matter how pitiful the others were, they did not care about the tribe's affairs, and It's not the tribe that makes them so pitiful.

She would help them, but only to ensure the safety of the tribe. If it harmed the tribe, she would be the first to disagree.

Shen Xiaoxiao frowned slightly. If she read it correctly, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief when the witch doctor said he couldn't help their tribe immediately. But why? It was obviously them who came to ask for help, but they were not happy that the tribe wanted to help them. They were relieved to hear that the tribe could not help right now.

But what are they planning? They took the initiative to ask for help, right?

Unless... they're not here for help.

Shen Xiaoxiao secretly guessed that only in this way would they not want the tribe to help them.

But if they don't really ask for help, then what is their purpose? What do they want to do?

Unless they are not from the Ivy Tribe, but cannibals!

Shen Xiaoxiao was startled by her own thoughts. If they were really cannibals, it meant that the cannibals had already targeted them and were ready to attack them.

If this is the case, then it all makes sense. The two of them are not here to ask for help at all, but to explore the way. Once they are familiar with the tribe, they will lead the way for other cannibals, and then wipe out the tribe in one fell swoop.
