Translated by Lesyt Team

Ke Ke relieved himself and carried a bleeding man in his hand while yawning. He opened the door and found that several pairs of eyes staring at him. The eyes reflected the moonlight coming from outside and looked bright, which scared Ke Ke. He no longer felt sleepy.
“What’s wrong ?!” Ke Ke asked nervously.
Although there was no torch in the room, thanks to the moonlight, everyone could see what Ke Ke was holding in his hands and there was also a strong smell of blood.
Shao Xuan’s whistle had woken up all the sleeping people. They had gotten up at once and had come near the door silently. They had planned to go out to help him if something unlucky really happened. However, they hadn’t heard Ke Ke’s signal for help. It seemed that this guy had already handled it.
“What is in your hand?” Tuo asked. He feared that he had slaughtered a patrol guard of the Drumming tribe for they rarely encountered another tribe. They had established partnership, so he did not want to see that Ke Ke caused any trouble at this time.
“Oh, this, I do not know who it is.” Ke Ke scratched his head, relaxed his hand and put down the man. He did not know how to explain to him.
He didn’t find anything wrong when he killed him, but now he suddenly felt so uncomfortable.
At that time, he had been into the habit of killing no matter what as long as he felt a potential danger. He didn’t think about whether there was a man or a ferocious beast hiding in the grass. He killed the man in the same way as he killed a ferocious beast. After he killed him, he found that something was different.
Before Ke Ke replied, Shao Xuan approached the dead man to have a look.
The man was nearly cut in half with a blade, and the blood spread from the woods all the way to this place.
“Not a man of the Drumming tribe.” Shao Xuan said after looking at the man’s face.
“Not a person of the Drumming tribe? Who is this? He is not a member of our tribe either.” Tuo came near and searched the dead man lying on the ground, though there was some blood and grass on his body. But he did not find anything.
“Tomorrow, let the chief and the Shaman have a look. Otherwise, let the people of the Drumming tribe have a look. They’re more familiar with the tribes here so maybe they can recognize him.” Shao Xuan said.
Ke Ke agreed and then climbed to the wooden bed. Putting his arms behind his head, he stared at the dark roof.
Shao Xuan saw this, and thought about whether his first murder of a human made him feel uncomfortable. He then asked, “Ke Ke, are you alright?”
A few people around them heard his words and no longer felt sleepy. They intended to listen to Ke Ke’s answer.
Ke Ke was silent for a few seconds, and then said mysteriously, “...No...”
“What is it?” Someone could not help but ask him. After all, they hadn’t killed a person. Thinking of the upcoming battle, they wanted to learn more from Ke Ke who had just killed a human. Experience was something that warriors had always valued.
“It is ...” Ke Ke said something but stopped.
“What is it?”
“I felt... why is this person... so weak? I cut him and he died at once. Not enough and not interesting.” Ke Ke said.
Shao Xuan:“...”

He looked down on the man who was killed by him with a just a single strike.
If the dead man heard what he said, he would be furious.
A few days before the Water Moon Festival of the Drumming tribe, someone was sent here to get some information by the invaders. It was certain that the man sent here couldn’t be weak. At least this man was confident that he could avoid the patrol of the Drumming tribe, but he touched the traps set up by Shao Xuan in the woods. At the same time, Ke Ke, a member of the advance team, had always done his utmost to defeat every opponent he met without any delay and neglect. This was the main reason for the immediate death of man.
After chatting for a while, the warriors were so tired that they fell asleep. The man cut in half by Ke Ke was also thrown at the door.
The next day, when the members of the Drumming tribe came here, saw the scene and felt shocked. They thought it was caused by a internal fight of the Flaming Horns tribe. After listening to what Shao Xuan said, they became serious.
To confirm his identity, they took the corpse to the chief of the Drumming tribe with Ke Ke and Shao Xuan. Ao heard the sound and went over there.
Looking at the man killed by Ke Ke carefully, Fan Mu shook his head, and said,“I don’t know from which tribe that person comes from.”
They didn’t travel around as often as those of the Pu tribe, so they only knew the several tribes that were closest to them and those that often attacked them. The rest were unknown to them.
“He may be a helper sent by the MArty tribe.” The man beside Fan Mu said, “He avoided the patrol guard on the periphery.”
He could avoid the patrol guards but was easily killed by Ke Ke. Fan Mu and the shaman looked at each other silently, and he learned about the strength of the warriors of the Flaming Horns tribe judging from the cut.
Fan Mu and some others actually wanted to ask more about what had happened last night. For example, they wondered whether the man had revealed his totem pattern. But Ke Ke’s answer made them feel helpless.
“Too sleepy,” “paid no attention,” “Forgot”...
As the best young warrior of the Drumming tribe, Qing Yi glanced at Ke Ke, who was scratching his head and recalling what had happened last night and thought about it.
As Ke Ke made gestures to tell the situation yesterday, his face didn’t have a vicious look, if anything it looked a little stupid. Judging from his appearance, after the people of the Flaming Horns tribe took off those distinctive clothes, they would certainly be more popular to the other tribes than their Drumming tribe.
This depended on the appearance. Most of the people of the Drumming tribe people looked vicious.
However, as a man who often led a team to trade with different people, Qing Yi had an intuition while dealing with others. He felt Ke Ke was dangerous, as if he was a beast which killed the prey at once as long as it caught it.
Fan Mu asked for a long while, but he still couldn’t get much useful information. He gave up and said to Ao, “It seems that we have to make a plan as soon as possible.”
“Yes.” Ao nodded.
When the members of the Drumming tribe and those of the Flaming Horns tribe were discussing about their plan. Not far from the border of the Drumming tribe, there was a mountain where hundreds of members of the Martyr tribe stayed.
The leading person wore a black animal skin coat, tall and thin. On his face, a scar was extending from the forehead to the jaw. In addition, his eyes looked cruel like a serpent.
The leading person was Zhi, who led the Martyr tribe to attack the Drumming tribe in order to rob their water moonstones.
The first man held a half-meter long knife made of polished animal bone and looked at the Drumming tribe.

After a while, when he heard something, he looked back and raised his chin. “You have arrived? I thought you gave up this. Unexpectedly, you came here.”
Nearly 500 people came over. Although these people looked ordinary and not as strong and vicious as those of the Drumming tribe, their footsteps were very light. They didn’t do so deliberately, it was their habit. They had been used to doing so since childhood. Each totem warrior held a long weapon made of stone or a beast horn, which looked like an axe-dagger.
“We rarely have such a good opportunity, so we the Jian tribe naturally do not give it up.” Among the people who came there, it was the chief laughing and talking.
“As for the reason why we come late... We sent two men to go to the Drumming tribe yesterday, but this morning only one came back.” His smile faded in a moment. Instead, he looked cruel. It was very strange for his expression to change so fast.
“Zhi” frowned, so his scar looked even more scaring. He asked, “What do you want to say?”
“You haven’t told us. The Drumming tribe found others to help them!” The man said angrily.
“Helpers? Fuck!” Zhi looked at the chief of the Jian tribe, his mouth twitched, looked with disdain and said, “So what? If you, the Jian tribe, are scared, you can leave! We, the Martyr tribe have never asked you to come together. We don’t need you!”
In the view of “Zhi”, if the Drumming tribe found helpers, the helpers must be the members of a weak tribe so they needn’t be frightened.
“You think too much!” The chief the Jian tribe laughed and said. In fact, he had a similar idea. They were not in the central region, so they didn’t need to be very cautious. He was just a little more cautious than “Zhi”. One of the two sent there returned, but the other failed to come back on time. It was apparent that something had happened to him.
“We still have to be careful and send someone to get more information. The man I have sent there only knows that they have found helpers. But he doesn’t know who are the helpers. The Drumming tribe had much stronger defenses, so he couldn’t go into the tribe’s residence.”
“OK!” Zhi impatiently interrupted him, though the other wanted to continue. He then said, “Those crocodile breeders found help, who cares? You are so timid.”
The people of the Jian tribe people thought: Do you think we are as greedy as you, the Martyr tribe, and don’t value life? The people of the Jian tribe were not just greedy, but also afraid of death. They cherished their lives more.
“Zhi” looked at the people of the Jian tribe mockingly, then glanced at the rest of place of the mountain. On this mountain and a few mountains around it, there were a lot of people waiting to sneak into the Drumming tribe to get something while they fought against each other. “Zhi” ignored them, he planned to kill these weaklings after he got what he wanted!
“Zhi”took out a wooden whistle and blew on it.
Wheeeeeee~~~
A figure flew over the woods behind him and circled in the sky for a while as if it was showing its strong body to the people below it.
“A kite trained by the Feather tribe?” The chief of the Jian tribe said with surprise.
“Zhi” raised an arm and watched the bird fly down to stand on his shoulder with pride.
This was a nearly one-meter-high raptor with sharp eyes. When it fluttered its wings, it looked bigger and mightier. The bird’s claw was powerful, so the animal skin coat of “Zhi” was scratched on the arm, but “Zhi” did not care.
This was a kite which he had exchange a lot of things for with the Feather tribe. It could help get some information and looked the same as other kites, except for a few pieces of fan-shaped feathers on its head. The feathers looked like those on the crown of a rooster so it was called Crown Kite, a best seller in the bird trading market of the Feather tribe.
