C21 The Credit

People crowded around a youth in ragged clothes who looked miserable as he rushed into the conference hall.

"Yuan, good child, it's good that you're back!" Nu Shuo looked kindly at Dugu Yuan, who had deliberately made himself look miserable.

Nu Feng landed heavily on the big chair and said with a happy expression, "Chief, Yuan has brought back important information! Yuan, tell me quickly!"

"Oh?" Nu Shuo looked at Dugu Yuan in surprise and exchanged a confused look with his eldest son.

Dugu Yuan took a deep breath and said, "The night before yesterday, after Uncle Nu Di took everyone out, I also secretly followed him, but all of you were too fast. I couldn't catch up to him, and before I was halfway there, I accidentally saw a tall and thin guy running in the forest. His footsteps were very messy, as if he had been seriously injured. I wanted to come back and report to him. However, I was afraid that he would run away, so I decided to follow him. That person ran more than 20 miles through the night, and I followed him for the whole night. His shoes are all rotten!" As he spoke, he lowered his head to look at the hemp shoes on his feet that had a few big holes on them. There were even several bloody wounds on his feet that proved how difficult it was to follow him.

Everyone in the hall held their breaths as they listened, but no one spoke.

Dugu Yuan looked at everyone's expectant eyes. He seemed to have regained the feeling of being the center of attention all those years ago. He then spoke with confidence and assurance, "That man is tired of running. He talked to himself about the electric system's Axe Skill being exposed. The Brave Axe Clan could not go back. He also talked about how many years he had been in hiding and how he had failed. He was furious. Later on, that man didn't speak anymore, and just stayed there to heal his injuries. I saw that he was seriously injured, so I wanted to sneak attack him and knock him down. But I didn't expect that person to be so strong that I was discovered by him the moment I attacked. He sent me flying with a single palm."

"Ah!" Everyone listened attentively and couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.

Dugu Yuan laughed lightly and said, "However, that person was seriously injured. I was waiting for trouble again and launched a sneak attack, so even though he sent me flying, I was also injured, but that man was also seriously injured. His meridians were shattered and he died! "

When Nu Feng heard this, he couldn't help but laugh loudly, "As expected of my son!"

Nu Lan frowned and said," Pika died? "

Dugu Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, he died! His corpse is in a forest 20 miles away. I rushed back to inform the family to quickly get the corpse back. He must have a secret to plot against our family! "

Hearing this, not only Nu Lan, but almost everyone's eyes widened in excitement. Nu Di was the first to jump up and shout, "Brothers, follow me!" As he spoke, he lifted Dugu Yuan with his thick arms. He ran out of conference hall like a whirlwind.

"Wait!" Dugu Yuan was shocked by Nu Di's reaction and quickly shouted.

Nu Di was stunned, "What?"

Everyone looked at Dugu Yuan strangely. Since they knew that Pika was dead, the most important thing right now was to retrieve his corpse and expose their plot.

Dugu Yuan struggled out of Nu Di's arms and took out the porcelain bottle he had taken from Pika. He handed it to Nu Shuo and said, "This is the thing that the Pika dropped in the grass. I picked it up. He seems to value this thing very much. "

Nu Shuo looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand. The color of the glaze was fine. Only humans could make such an exquisite object. His expression was somewhat surprised. He gently opened the bottle cap, and a faint smell entered his nostrils. His expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly tightened the cap. He said in a deep voice, "Nu Di, immediately bring people to get the pickup truck's body back. Bring more men. Don't let the Brave Axe Clan snatch it away!"

"Yes!" Nu Di immediately agreed. This time, he didn't care whether Dugu Yuan agreed or not. He carried Dugu Yuan and ran out of conference hall without looking back.

Conference hall, which was full of people just now, suddenly became empty again.

However, this time, there were only three people left in conference hall, and their expressions were much more relaxed than before.

"Nu Feng, you have a good son!" Patriarch Nu Shuo said happily. Dugu Yuan's performance was something that not even ordinary clansmen could achieve. He was not afraid of his shoes getting hurt. He followed him quietly and patiently attacked him. He then calmly ran back to report the situation. This was something that an ordinary young man could not do.

Nu Lan could not help but sigh. "Compared to Yuan's intelligence, Nu Ling and the others are the children!"

Nu Feng's pale face flushed red, and his eyes lit up. "Haha... cough..." He spat out a large mouthful of purple blood, and looked at the blood stain on the ground with contempt. He breathed heavily and said loudly, "My Nu Feng's son, even if the Violent Aura is weak, he will not be a mediocre person in the future!"

Nu Shuo sighed with relief and laughed, "This child is really too surprising. I think I have already guessed the secret of the Brave Axe Clan!"

"Oh?" Nu Lan and Nu Feng's spirits were lifted. This was a matter that concerned the life and death of their family, and it was the most important.

Nu Shuo held the porcelain bottle and looked at the two surprised people. He slowly said, "The secret is in this bottle!"

"This is?"

"Although we are a remote and small tribe, we have received some news from merchants and outsiders in recent years. We barbarians have stopped fighting with the humans of the continent, and we have been interacting more and more over the years. Not only do we have more human objects here, but their weapons and medicines have also been sent over! If my guess is correct, the things in this bottle... It should be the holy water unique to human priests! It can cure hundreds of poisons!"

"Holy water? What does this have to do with the Brave Axe Clan's conspiracy?"

"A few decades ago, the barbarian tribes of the East Sea were constantly fighting each other. The insidious and cunning humans also secretly intervened. They caused us barbarians to become even more chaotic. In the past, when the Brave Axe Clan wanted to annex our race, they used a despicable method. It was to soak the wood in the stream that contained miasma, and make the miasma poison enter the firewood. After that, they dried the firewood and mixed it into the firewood pile of our race. When the firewood was lit, the miasma poison would spread out! Back then, our clan was tricked by this evil scheme of theirs, and many of our clansmen died. Fortunately, a human priest passed by here and used holy water to save our entire race. Back then, I was still a child, and I smelled the holy water. It was exactly the same as the one in this bottle, and there were at least ten drops in this bottle. It was extremely valuable. " Nu Shuo explained.

Nu Lan was both happy and shocked. He was shocked by the despicable means of the Brave Axe Clan. If they really succeeded, the consequences would be unimaginable. He was happy that they had found the holy water, and now they had it. Not to mention the poison on Nu Feng's body, even if the Brave Axe Clan used the same trick again... They weren't afraid anymore.

"The only thing I'm worried about right now is, does the Brave Axe Clan really want to play that trick? Why would the holy water be on Pika?" After Nu Shuo said that, his expression did not relax.

"That's right. Could it be that the Brave Axe Clan would do such a thing? Besides, it was not easy to find a stream that contained miasma, whether it was a human or a beast. Anyone who gets close to it will be infected by the miasma! When hunting in the tribe, they usually go around places with miasma. " Nu Feng said in a gentle voice.

Nu Shuo said, "The most important thing right now is to thoroughly investigate everything in the clan that can be poisoned, such as firewood, well water, food and so on! Nu Lan, be careful. This matter will be handled by you!"

Nu Lan's expression was stern, and he hurriedly agreed. He stood up and walked out of conference hall.

Before noon, Nu Di finally brought the people of Angry Axe Clan back with him to retrieve the pickup truck's corpse. He even kidnapped three Throwing Axe Team members from the Brave Axe Clan.

After putting the weapons and money he found from the pickup truck and the three men on the table, Nu Di said in a rough voice, "We just arrived, and we encountered two or three people from Brave Axe Clan. They came to find the pickup truck, so I tied them up."

Nu Shuo nodded and walked to the pickup's corpse. He placed his palm on the skin of the pickup. After a while, he said, "The injuries on his body were indeed from the wood system!" As he said that, he looked at the three men with bright eyes.

Facing the patriarch of the family, the pressure that they had trained for many years made the three people from the Brave Axe Clan somewhat afraid. They lowered their heads.

"Bei Meng thought he could control the pickup and sent him to poison him. In fact, he was deceived by the pickup truck. Today, I won't kill you all. But don't even think about escaping, or you'll only die. " Nu Shuo said coldly and ordered his men to take the three of them away and lock them up.

Nu Di glared at them angrily, "Father, is Pika here to poison us?" He had just returned and did not know about this matter. When he heard this, he was furious again.

Nu Shuo was about to explain when Nu Lan strode into the hall and said happily, "We have found out that the well water in the square was poisoned with spider poison! A few people were poisoned, but nothing serious happened!"

Nu Shuo nodded happily and said, "En, we still need to investigate more carefully. We can't miss it!"

Nu Lan agreed and turned around to leave.

At this time, Nu Shuo looked at Dugu Yuan and said with a smile, "In this crisis of my clan, Yuan contributed the most. Child, what kind of reward do you want?"

Everyone looked at Dugu Yuan with smiles on their faces.

Dugu Yuan smiled bitterly and shrugged his body. He said, "Letting me rest immediately is the biggest reward!"

"Haha!" Nu Di couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Father, Yuan this child is tired enough. I will take him to treat his injuries now and let him rest well!"

Nu Shuo smiled and said, "That's good too! In addition, Nu Feng's poison has been cured. Everyone need not worry. Let's return to our posts first!"

Hearing this news, Dugu Yuan's heart felt lighter. He looked at Nu Feng and found that Nu Feng's face had become much better. He looked energetic and full of praise as he looked at Dugu Yuan.

Feeling relieved, Dugu Yuan and Nu Di went to the warehouse to find some herbs and applied them on their wounds. Angry Axe Clan was a small family, and the family did not have the ability to hire a witch doctor. He washed his body and went back to his room to sleep.
