Original War

Chapter 538

There are many broken branches around, and the branches and leaves covering the sky above are scattered on the ground, exposing a void, and the sunlight from the sky can directly shine on the ground.

Under the hot weather and the sun’s scorching, the smell of carrion was scattered, attracting many scavengers, but, I don’t know if it was because of a huge beast here not long ago that was angry, except for the group of scavengers with gray feathers. Except for some small flying insects, no larger animals have been seen.

After checking the surroundings and finding the desired trace, the team set off again.

Now that the traces of the group of slaves sent by Yanling City have been found, and then follow the traces to find the past, it is much simpler, after all, there are many slaves.

It is said that there were 500 people sent out from Yanling City this time. Compared to the entire tribe or the entire Yanling City, it is not much. Beast Mountain Forest, even if it was a big deal in comparison, now Shao Xuan and the others are only fifty or sixty people.

After finding the traces of the slaves, the others no longer doubt the words of the Yanjiao people, and they are fortunate in their hearts. Fortunately, they chose to follow Yanjiao. It may not be found in ten days. Many traces can’t be kept for long. The forests here are repairing themselves much faster than people thought. The dead bodies they saw just now will not even be left behind tomorrow.

Because the team entered the mountain forest much later than the group of slaves, most of the traces left by the slaves were covered by the self-repair of the mountain forest, so it was not possible to know where the group of slaves went.

Thinking about it this way, several tribes felt that the “sincerity” they paid to Yanjiao was quite cost-effective.

Beyond the familiar range of Yanjiao, it is much more difficult to find a satisfactory resting place. There are more hidden crises in the mountains and forests, more concealed, and unpredictable.

Following the trail left by the slave team for four days, there were sixty-three people in the team, and now there are five fewer, and they lost their lives halfway through for various reasons.

This morning, a member of the Changzhou tribe was poisoned to death by a poisonous snake. He didn’t even have time to rescue him. The place where the opponent was bitten was his neck. Before anyone else could check his injuries, his entire neck quickly turned black, like After being stained with ink and festering, the bitten person died soon after. That was an intermediate-level totem warrior. The body’s resistance to poison was fair, but it didn’t last long, and he couldn’t even say a word at the end.

The poisonous snake that bit a person lay in ambush on the tree, silently, like a dead thing clinging to the tree, it merged with the tree, and it attacked suddenly when people passed by.

In the past, the people of the Changzhou tribe only believed that large snakes were generally non-venomous, unless they were fierce beasts, but here, there are many large venomous snakes of all kinds, and they are still very poisonous. Just like the one that bit their companion before, it was thicker than a human and extremely poisonous. After the head was cut off, he almost bit another person. If it weren’t for the people from Yanjiao to move fast, the Changzhou tribe would have lost two people once they came here.”Don’t think that if these things have their heads chopped off, they will have no attack power. Be careful, otherwise it will be too late to cry.” Shao Xuan said to those people.

Because I have been to similar perilous mountain forests before, before the Yanjiao tribe moved to the old place, many of the places where the hunting team walked were such forests, especially the advance team, and the difficulty was not less than here. Therefore, even if Mai and Tuo came here for the first time, they could adapt quickly.

The first time I came here, I was not familiar with the terrain and couldn’t find a cave for people to rest quickly, so I still had to eat and sleep in many times. When they were looking for a resting place two days ago, they spent the night in the open air on a mountain. He didn’t find the cave, so he rested at a leeward place near the mountainside.

The slave team that passed by here should have also rested here, leaving traces of activity.

There are some carved paintings on the mountain wall. Based on Shao Xuan’s understanding of the stone, many of the paintings on the mountain wall were not left in a short period of time. Some of them should have been in the past for a long time. Sent.

Finding traces of the activities of the slaves in the past also confirmed Shao Xuan’s guess. The people in Yanling City have definitely caught blue-faced fangs!

Along the way, they would see the bodies of some slaves from time to time, some of them had been bitten so that they could not be seen, and some were incomplete. In such a place, talents are prey.

At noon, two people from the Weiba tribe went to the river to fetch water, but they would not be too close to the river. The day before yesterday, one of their tribe was dragged into the river because they were too close, and they didn’t even see what was dragging them.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it is very physically exhausting for them to hurry. They are all sweaty. Walking in the woods, although a large area of ​​sunlight is blocked by the branches and leaves above, everyone can feel the higher temperature and the demand for water is becoming stronger.

A filament is tied to a hard shell that looks similar to a coconut. A half-fist-sized hole is dug in the round shell, and a stone is tied to the shell, and then the round shell with the stone, together Throw it to the river 20 meters away.

With a grunting sound, the round shell was pulled down by the tied stone, and the river poured into the round shell from the excavated mouth. After feeling that it was almost done, the two soldiers of Weiba violently pulled the silk in their hands, wanting Pull back the round shell that has been filled with water.

The round shell filled with water just appeared on the surface of the water. When it was pulled into the air, a figure nearly two meters long suddenly jumped up in the river. It was bitten by the round shell that was pulled into the air, and then fell into the water again. Splattered.

The two soldiers who fetched the water could clearly hear the cracking sound of the round hard shell holding the water.

However, they had seen this similar situation several times. After a slight surprise, they calmly took out the same round hard shell again and threw it into the river. This time it was not bitten, and the water was successfully taken.

“Next time you can change to a stronger silk, and you can also fish.” Shao Xuan looked at the still turbulent river and said. The figure that jumped up just now looked like a lizard without legs, and it should also be a kind of fish in the river.

The warrior at Weiba thought for a while, too, if it is a strong silk thread that gets bitten when taking water, it can still drag out the things in the water, maybe the food at night can be solved. If he couldn’t hold it alone, he asked Yanjiao’s people to help. Yanjiao had a lot of manpower.

The Weiba tribe is rich in spider silk, and the spider silk produced by different types of spiders is also different. After processing, some silk is soft enough to weave clothes, while some are stronger, but harder, suitable for weaving nets and arranging traps to catch prey, etc. .

For the young people in the team, this is a rare experience, far better than the one in the desert.

Not only did they have to follow the trail of the slaves, but they had to solve the problems of food and water, and sometimes they had to fight the bears for caves. The beasts and forests at night are still much safer than caves.

When looking for a place to spend the night to rest, they encountered a situation of robbing a cave, but they failed to win that time. The giant bear was too shrewd and would not come out at all, so they just stayed in the cave and held on. That place.

If the giant bear is drawn out of the hole, everyone can rely on the advantage of the number of people to deal with it in partnership, and may even turn it into a dinner, but if the bear does not come out, it will be difficult. People from outside couldn’t rush in either, the bear in the hole made full use of the ground to defend, and the people in the team took turns and failed to draw it out.

Several people in Qu Ce have been roared by the giant bear. It is estimated that the giant bear has eaten fish, and the saliva star that roars still has a strong fishy smell. Now Qu Ce is still walking with the smell of fish.

However, I don’t know if it was the influence of the giant bear’s spit. Several times the people in the team were attacked by ambushing beasts, but none of them attacked Quce. This was another kind of luck for him.

After another half day, the team stopped halfway up the mountain when they climbed over a mountain, intending to rest there.

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing Shao Xuan standing on a rock and looking into the distance, Duokang came over and asked.

Shao Xuan pointed to the front, “Is there any difference?”

“different?”

Duokang looked at that direction, “There are many mountains.”

“Not only that, the leaves in that place are very different.” Shao Xuanruo said with emotion.

“When you say that, I also think that the leaves there look… tender and tender.” Dokang touched his chin, reached out to pluck the leaves from a shrub next to him, and took a look.

Perhaps due to the fact that the weather is too hot and there is no rain, many of the plants here appear to be a little wilted, and the leaves on the branches of the tree a little farther away from the main trunk appear to be very dull.

However, look at that direction again. Although it is not clear what kind of plants are growing on the mountain due to the distance, the emerald green over there is indeed very eye-catching, even if the sun is already slanted. Let them become dull, especially in such a hot climate, the green over there gives people the feeling, like it is so tender and fresh that you can pinch out the water with a little pinch, and it is very refreshing.

“Hey, look, there is smoke over there!” Mai said.

Mai’s voice also caused the other people in the team to gather and look forward.

Amidst the hills, in the verdant green field of vision, some gray smoke was rising from the mountains and forests over there. However, because of the wind, it was blown away as soon as it blew up.

“It’s the group of slaves! It must be them!”

“Finally caught up!” The people in the team were shocked.

Shao Xuan looked at the mountains over there and said, “Perhaps, what they are looking for is in the forests ahead.”

The team was quiet, with more than fifty pairs of eyes looking at Shao Xuan.

“Shao Xuan, Elder, mean, is it here?” Huang Ye asked.

Along the way, I have seen a lot of people, and their attitude towards the Yanjiao people has also changed significantly, especially Shao Xuan, Huaye and others who play a role in decision-making, they will also bring the word “Elder” when they speak. It is also a kind of recognition.

However, Shao Xuan didn’t care about these, and others would agree that he didn’t care about it.

At this moment, Shao Xuan looked at the forest in front of him, thinking about the message of the green face and fangs in his heart.

There are many mountains in front, and there should be plenty of water. At first glance, it gives people a sense of tranquility and tranquility. In the forest of the beasts, it can be regarded as a special area. The blue-faced fangs, it is really possible that they are there.
