Chapter 243 VS Red Water Grass King, Arriving at the Sun-shooting Tribe, Who is the Great Elder Maki

"Dragon Fist. Dragon Fury"

"Tiger Fist. Tiger Kill"

"Double fists attack. Fight between dragon and tiger"

Lu Ming attacked with both fists at the same time, performing a powerful combined attack.

The two fists merged together to form an even more powerful fist force. Even the Red Water Grass King realized the terrifying power of Lu Ming's fist at this moment.

But now the attacks of both sides are about to meet, and it is impossible for the Red Water Grass King to change its offensive. It can only increase the output of its demonic power.

With the injection of fierce demonic power, the temperature on the leaf stems rose again, even igniting the air!

"Boom"

The moment the fist force collided with the leaf stem, an earth-shaking explosion sounded.

At the center of the explosion, the water on the shore of Mutuo Lake flowed backwards, and the surrounding lake water was emptied in an instant, leaving a large pit with a diameter of nearly 100 meters in its place.

Zhao Xue, who was evacuating, heard a loud noise behind her and trembled slightly.

When she turned around, the strong wind generated by the shock wave hit her and made it difficult for her to open her eyes.

She wanted to see the outcome of the battle, but unfortunately she was in a dense forest and could not see the battlefield.

But the aftermath of the battle just now made her realize that the battle over there must be extremely fierce.

"I don't know how the battle is going over there. I hope Lu Ming is okay."

Lakeside Battlefield

Lu Ming looked at the lake. At this moment, a nearly two-hundred-meter-long stem of red water grass was floating on the lake.

Lu Ming did not hold back in the punch just now. He unleashed his full strength and even the Red Water Grass King could not block it.

After having one of its leaf stems broken, the Red Water Grass King became extremely furious and wished he could crush Lu Ming into powder.

But in the fight just now, the Red Water Grass King also knew Lu Ming's strength, and it found that it was not Lu Ming's opponent.

The Red Water Grass King, which was not strong enough, did not dare to attack Lu Ming again. It could only hide in the deep lake and continue to bombard and vent its anger, causing the entire Mutuo Lake to become turbulent.

Lu Ming looked at the turbulent lake and turned away.

He did not kill all the Red Water Grass Kings because this kind of plant-like monster has very strong vitality and it would take a lot of time to kill it.

Lu Ming didn't want to waste time, and it didn't matter whether he killed the enemy or not.

When Lu Ming entered the dense forest, he saw the dead Song Yan and others.

Seeing the remaining fear in their eyes, Lu Ming sighed: "You will suffer the consequences if you do evil."

When Lu Ming appeared in front of Zhao Xue, Zhao Xue's face was full of excitement.

"Lu Ming, you're back."

Lu Ming nodded in response.

Zhao Xue looked Lu Ming up and down, full of shock and curiosity.

"You were able to escape alive from the attack of the Red Water Grass King. This is the first person I know of."

"how did you do it?"

"The Red Water Grass King is indeed very powerful, but I am even better at escaping, so I will have no problem saving my life."

Lu Ming did not tell the truth. After all, if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, who would believe that he could defeat the Red Water Grass King!

Moreover, he does not want to expose his strength now, so naturally he will not tell the truth.

Zhao Xue also didn't think that Lu Ming was lying to her. She gave Lu Ming a thumbs up with bright eyes.

"you are awesome!"

"Where are we going now?"

"Go back to the tribe!"

It took them six days to reach the Shooting Sun Tribe where Zhao Xue was.

In fact, the distance between the Sheri Tribe and Mutuo Lake is not too far, only about six hundred miles, but there are many monsters along the way.

In order to avoid the monsters, the two of them moved forward carefully, so their speed was naturally not fast.

Even so, the two fought a lot along the way. During this period, Lu Ming even reached a higher level and became a 49th-level Jinshi.

Looking at the tribe so close at hand, the smile on Zhao Xue's face grew.

"Lu Ming, our Shooting Sun Tribe is ahead, let's go quickly."

But just when the two of them walked ten meters, an arrow was shot at their feet.

Then a dozen people emerged from the trees, led by a handsome young man. He held a bow in his arms and said coldly, "The Sun Shooting Tribe is ahead. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."

Zhao Xue looked up and saw the young man, her face suddenly looked a little ugly.

"That person first, it's me, Zhao Xue!"

The man looked at her coldly first: "Of course I recognize you, Zhao Xue."

"Then why are you still trying to stop it?"

"I'm not stopping you, but the people around you. He's not from the tribe, so he can't come in."

Zhao Xue frowned: "He is my friend."

"His origins are unknown. For the safety of the tribe, I cannot let him in."

Lu Ming had already seen that the man playing with the bow was obviously trying to make things difficult for him.

"Zhao Xue, if you don't, go back to the tribe by yourself, and I won't go in."

Zhao Xue immediately shook her head and rejected it: "How can this be possible? There are monsters everywhere around the tribe. It is very dangerous for you to be outside alone."

She turned her head and looked at the man first: "I'll vouch for him!"

The man first stared at Zhao Xue, and seemed to see that Zhao Xue was determined to let Lu Ming join the tribe, so he no longer insisted.

He reminded him, "You have to think clearly. If you guarantee him, you will be punished if something goes wrong with him."

Zhao Xue said firmly: "I know this."

The man saw the situation first and waved his hand. His men immediately made way for him. Then Zhao Xue took Lu Ming into the tribe.

Watching the two people's backs getting farther and farther away, the man first called out to the people around him, "Go tell my brother that the boy Zhao Xue talked to is back."

On the way into the tribe, Lu Ming asked curiously, "That person doesn't seem to be friendly to you."

"He is Natulu's younger brother."

Zhao Xue only said this and didn't say anything else, but Lu Ming also understood the reason.

The Shooting Sun Tribe has a total population of nearly 20,000 people. It is better to call it a town than a tribe.

However, this town is not as magnificent as the ones built in the Destiny Continent, and it still has a very primitive appearance.

"Sister Xue is back?"

"Xiaoxue is back, come to my house for dinner tonight."

"Sister Xue, did you bring me anything fun?"

......

Since entering the tribe, everyone has greeted Zhao Xue with a smile.

Zhao Xue responded while walking towards the center of the tribe.

"It seems that you are very popular in the tribe."

"of course."

Zhao Xue was not modest at all and acknowledged it generously.

As they were talking, Zhao Xue brought Lu Ming to a huge mansion in the center.

"arrive."

"Where is this?"

"Tribal Council Hall!"

"This is where the tribal leaders handle tribal affairs." Zhao Xue explained.

"You are not from my Sun-Shooting Tribe. Even though I guarantee you, you still need to register with the tribe."

Lu Ming understood in his mind, this was the government agency in the town.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was depressing at this time.

Several powerful people in the tribe gathered together to discuss something.

The chief elder of the tribe said in a cold voice: "Chief, the salt in the tribe is only enough for seven days. What should we do?"

Chief Zhao Rui said in a deep voice: "I have sent people to Mutuo Lake to get salt."

Whoever it was was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Zhao Rui sent someone to get salt again, and he didn't even get the news.

"What an old fox!"

He still had a cold face: "Even if you send someone to get salt, it will take at least ten days to go back and forth, which is not enough time."

Zhao Rui glanced at him and said, "Starting today, use less salt so that we can hold out until the salt-collecting team returns."

The great elder frowned and said, "If this happens, the tribe will suffer."

Zhao Rui stared at him and said, "Great Elder, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Since the chief asked, I will tell you."

"The salt crisis in the tribe this time is ultimately Zhao Xue's responsibility."

"According to my son Natulu's report, she left the team secretly for an unidentified man, which led to the failure of collecting salt. What should we do now?"

Zhao Rui narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's a bit arbitrary for the elder to say so."

"Zhao Xue hasn't returned yet. What Natulu said is one-sided. We can't make a conclusion about the truth yet."

"Can't come to a conclusion?" The Great Elder sneered.

"What conclusion do you want? The conclusion is that because of Zhao Xue's departure, Natulu and his men were unable to complete the task of collecting salt on their own, which led to the tribe's lack of salt. This is the result, this is the conclusion!"

Before Zhao Rui could say anything, a delicate cry rang out.

"absurd!"

Zhao Rui looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhao Xue walking to the door. His eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face.

"Xue'er, you're back."

Zhao Xue greeted Zhao Rui: "Father made you worried."

"I'm glad you're back. Go back and rest first."

"No," someone stopped him.

"Now that Zhao Xue is back, she must explain what happened and take responsibility!"

"Great Elder!"

Zhao Rui's tone was solemn, his eyes were gleaming with brilliance, and his aura was rising.

"Xue'er just came back and needs to rest. We can discuss your problem tomorrow!"

That person was oppressed by Zhao Rui's aura and couldn't help but tremble.

But he didn't want to miss the chance to defeat Zhao Rui today, so he slowly stood up.

"Chief, are you trying to use your power to overpower others?"

"So what!"

Who is that? Sneered: "You can suppress me alone, but can you suppress the entire elders group?"

As soon as the question "Who is that?" fell, the second and third elders stood up at the same time.

The second elder spoke slowly: "Chief, you are the leader of the tribe and should consider the interests of the tribe. If you ignore the interests of the tribe for your own selfish reasons, then our elders will not agree!"

Although the Second Elder's tone was calm, everyone could hear the threat in it.

Zhao Rui clenched his fists, as if he was about to explode at any time.

At this critical moment, Zhao Xue spoke up.

"Since you want me to tell you, I will satisfy you."

"Xue'er!" Zhao Rui shouted to stop her.

Zhao Xue looked at Zhao Rui: "Father, it's okay, I can handle it."

Zhao Rui looked at his daughter with shame in his eyes. As a father, he failed to protect his daughter from the wind and rain. It was his dereliction of duty.

Whoever saw Zhao Xue stand up, the corners of his mouth curled up and he showed a victorious expression.

"Zhao Xue, you left the team alone for an outsider, which led to the failure of the salt-collecting mission. Do you admit it?"

Facing the Great Elder's question about who that was, Zhao Xue remained quite calm.

"I left the team at the beginning, but I don't take responsibility for the failure of the salt-collecting mission!"

Who was that? Hearing this, he was furious: "You are so stubborn, Zhao Xue. If you hadn't left the team privately, how could Tulu and the others return to the tribe, and how could they cause the tribe to run out of salt?"

Zhao Xue looked at him coldly: "Just because I left, they can't get salt?"

"Humph, you know how dangerous Mutuo Lake is. At the beginning, you and Natulu were the only two people in the team who were destiny masters. Without you, the team would not have enough strength to reach Mutuo Lake!"

"All this is because of you!"

Zhao Xue sneered: "You are just making up stories!"

She looked at Lu Ming who had been watching the fun: "Lu Ming, take out the things."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming immediately walked to the gate and brought in the salt from Mutuo Lake.

Zhao Xue pointed at the bag of salt: "This is the salt I got from Mutuo Lake!"

"Lu Ming and I left the team that day. Although I knew that the task of collecting salt was fraught with danger, I still went to collect salt without hesitation for the sake of the tribe."

"The two of us can get the salt, so why can't the nine people of Tulu get the salt?"

She looked at whoever it was with disdain: "I think some people are just greedy for life and afraid of death, and don't take the tribe seriously!"

Looking at the salt bag on the ground and listening to Zhao Xue's words, that person's face turned pale.

Just as Zhao Xue said, if Natulu really put the interests of the tribe first, even if Zhao Xue left, he should take other members to try to get salt from Mutuo Lake.

But he didn't. Instead, he led his people back to the tribe without hesitation. Isn't this cowardice?

That person suddenly saw Lu Ming and immediately thought of an excuse.

"Natulu is not afraid of death. He is doing this for the safety of the tribe."

Who is that? Pointing at Lu Ming: "He must be the outsider."

"You brought an unknown outsider into the tribe, aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"

"What if he is a demon?"

"He is not a demon!" Zhao Xue immediately clarified.

"I can guarantee that Lu Ming is not a bad person, let alone a demon. Great Elder, please don't wrongly accuse a good person."

Who is that? He sneered, "How can you guarantee it? How can you prove it?"

Just when Zhao Xue didn't know how to answer, Zhao Rui spoke.

"Okay, let's stop here for today."

He looked at the Great Elder with sharp eyes: "The failure of this salt-collecting mission was just an accident. No one is responsible for it. I think the Great Elder should agree with this."

"As for this young man Lu Ming, I trust Xue'er's judgment and I can vouch for him."

After hearing what Zhao Rui said, everyone knew that today's matter had to end here, so they got up and left.

Seeing this, the second and third elders also followed suit and walked out.

Lu Ming looked at the Great Elder's leaving back, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"If you use me as a gun, I will make you regret it!"

Lu Ming saw the situation clearly. In fact, the elders headed by Who is that guy were at odds with Chief Zhao Rui, and Lu Ming was just used by Who is that guy as an excuse to attack.

After the elders had left, Zhao Xue introduced them, "Dad, this is my new friend Lu Ming. It's all thanks to him this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come back, let alone succeed in getting the salt."

Zhao Rui looked Lu Ming up and down and praised, "What a spirited young man."

"Come on, let's go home."

After returning to Zhao Rui's house, the three of them exchanged greetings.

After that, Lu Ming was arranged to rest, while Zhao Xue followed her father to the study and told him in detail about her experiences during this period.

"What did you say?"
