The old priest used the scepter to open his third eye to look far away. Sure enough, he saw the Shi and the other two tribes leading a large number of warriors running towards the valley, but instead of rushing into the valley, they stopped in the open space outside.
"Get ready to fight!" Hide in the distance looked back at the old priest and the chief. Seeing that the chief hadn't responded, he immediately issued an order.
When Yuan Zhan led Yan Mo to search for the traces that the tribe deliberately left for his own people, and finally found this valley, the warriors of the Yuanji tribe had stood firm for five days.
The tribal warriors chose this place as a temporary residence for hunting because the valley has many advantages, such as ample water, a grove that can provide enough firewood and improve concealment, leeward and only one entrance, and the hills on both sides face one side of the valley. Although the sides are not high, they are very steep, forming a natural protective wall, which allows them not to defend their back and sides.
But they only considered the defense of wild beasts, but not humans, because they chose this place at the beginning and never thought that one day they would be besieged by the warriors united by the three tribes, let alone that one day the tribesmen would escape from the tribal settlements and come here find them.
The warriors knew very well that this valley was not suitable for defense. Humans could climb up to the high ground, throw wooden spears and stones down from the peaks of the hills on both sides, block their only exit, and trap them to death. in the valley.
But along the way, there were many wounded, women and children in the team, and the chief was killed and seriously injured in order to protect everyone from breaking through. They had no choice but to take the risk and stay. Warrior leaders such as Hide, Hunter, and Moth Catcher hope that everyone can recover their physical strength as soon as possible in a short period of time, and also hope that the chief's injury will recover after being treated by the old priest.
But the Shizu didn't give them time to relax, and they even suspected that the Shizu and others deliberately let them escape into the valley to join the soldiers.
Without the encumbrance of women, children and wounded patients, the Yuanji Tribe's hunting team, composed entirely of second- and third-level fighters, will become the most terrifying sharp blade, and the fighters who avenge the tribe will become the most terrifying swordsmen of the Shi tribe, the Haola tribe, etc. A nightmare for the Red Fox Clan and the Red Fox Clan!
So the warriors of the three races obviously had the opportunity to surround and kill them in the grassland, but they didn't do anything. Instead, they drove them all over like hunting and driving wild animals.
The plan of the three tribes was successful. Even if the soldiers of the Yuanji tribe had the possibility of breaking through, they did not leave the valley, but stayed here to defend and fight with the three tribes.
They also understand this, but they can't just abandon their clansmen like this, they can't abandon all the wounded, leaving only soldiers and not women and children, this is the last way.
After five days, if it weren't for the fact that the Shi and the other two tribes cherished their weapons very much, and there were not many stones around, the casualties of the Yuanji tribe would have been much greater than they are now.
But even if the three tribes just sent people to block the gap and did not attack from the top of the two peaks, the original tribe suffered a lot.
The animals in the valley are limited, and there are not many things that can be eaten. They all have a population of nearly a thousand, and their daily food consumption is terribly large. People are constantly dying, and a large number of people are starving. Now all the food in the valley is given priority to the soldiers, and the dead are not wasted. After the priests appease their souls, all the flesh of these people is given to the everyone.
"We can't go on like this, while everyone still has strength, Lie, you and Bing lead the rest of the fighters out! Don't come back again!" Hide with a knife on his shoulder ordered categorically.
None of the warrior leaders present were surprised. The old priest had already raised this point three days ago, but the warriors hadn't yet been able to make up their minds. It's one thing to be cruel to others, but who can really be cruel to their own people? Ruthlessly abandon it
But now that they are at the point of life and death, the tribes such as the Shi and others are probably also afraid that they will escape for revenge, and sent a large number of people to stop them, not just to drive them out of this land.
"Hey, you take everyone out, I'll stay and hold them back." Lie couldn't deny it.
"No, the old priest and I will stay, you guys go!" Hide's face was ferocious, and there was a kind of determination in his fierce eyes.
Bing suddenly raised his head, "Master Priest can't stay, we can't live without priests."
He looked at him, walked up to him, grabbed his shoulder, "Yes, you have Qiuning."
"But Qiu Ning hasn't got all the Priestess has yet..." Bing looked into Hide's eyes, bit his lip and stopped talking.
"Bing, I believe in you." He stared into Bing's eyes, "but I don't trust the old priest."
Bing opened his mouth slightly startled. The other fighters remained silent.
"If you let him follow you, there will only be the Heiyuan tribe in the end, and there will be no more Xirang and Feisha tribes. He will use Xirang and Feisha warriors to preserve the blood of the Heiyuan tribe. He does."
Bing swallowed, "Master Qiushi would not do this, we are the original tribe, we..."
He patted him hard, Bing painfully swallowed all the following words to defend the old priest, because even he knew that Master Qiushi might really do such a thing.
"The old priest is getting old. If he really thinks about the tribe, then let him stay with me and the chief, and live and die with the tribe." He retreated to his original position, with a cold face, and continued to give orders: "Moth catch, Hunter, Bing, the three of you each select fifty second-level fighters and hand them over to me, and I will work with them to hold back the pig clan."
"yes!"
"I will hide our women and children deep in the valley, and they will become slaves of the Zhu tribe and others. If I and the remaining warriors do not die, they will also become slaves, but the Zhu tribe will definitely not dare to stay. Let us go, they should exchange us with other powerful tribes far away. If one day, you can fight back, don’t look for us, just save our women and children.”
Grief and hatred shone from the soldiers' eyes.
His ferocious eyes flashed across everyone's faces, he grabbed the wooden spear, and shouted in a low voice: "What are you still standing there for? Go eat your stomach and sharpen your weapons! When the sun sets, we will rush out of the valley! "
"Yes!" The soldiers beat their chests hard at the same time, enduring their grief and obeying the orders separately.
The old priest Qiu Shi put down his scepter, lowered his head, and slowly opened his eyes.
He can't hear it, but he can see it.
Hide had probably already made up his mind to lead the rest of the fighters out, and he had to make preparations quickly.
Just now he not only saw Hide summoning the warrior leaders to speak, he also looked into the distance, and the northwest would be their best way out.
"Qiu Ning, pack your things, we are leaving."
"Yes, my lord."
The faces of the women and children who were busy boiling water, grilling meat, and mending animal skins in the valley were full of uneasiness and anxiety, and the voices of yelling and cursing children could be heard from time to time.
The seriously injured soldiers were lying on the ground, still awake, looking up at the sky with numb expressions, they were waiting to die.
There are also some people from the three tribes who were captured. Most of these people have been cut and bled to make food, and it is only a matter of time before some are still alive.
Except for the old priest, no old man could be seen.
Slaves died the most, and now apart from the soldiers' own slaves, all the slaves shared by the tribe also died or escaped. The expressions of the slaves who are still alive are much calmer than others. Many of them have experienced extermination or arrest, and the second time, it does not make much difference to them.
The soldiers were lining up, and no one came back to say goodbye to their families, not because they didn't want to, but because they were not allowed.
The women and children didn't know they were about to be abandoned, and they were still looking forward to the day when they would defeat the enemy and return to the tribe's settlement.
The sun was setting, dusk was drawing near.
Hide finally came to Chief Hao's side.
Hao had already fallen into a coma, and most of the wounds on his chest, abdomen and back had rotted away, and his whole body smelled like they were about to rot.
He knelt down on one knee in front of Hao, held his hand, and stood up after a long time.
In the distance, Hunter nodded to him, the soldiers were ready.
Jiong took one last look at the chief, turned around and strode away.
The old priest appeared at the back of the line, saw him, and nodded to him, "Lord Qiushi, follow me. Dahe, come here and carry Master Qiushi on your back. You can't let him go at any time."
"Yes." Da He came out of the queue and walked to the side of the old priest.
Of course Qiushi is willing to follow the most powerful fighter in the tribe except the chief.
He said to Qiu Ning again: "Qiu Ning, follow Bing, I can't lead two people to attack at the same time."
"Yes." Hearing that he was asked to follow Bing, Qiu Ning did not have any doubts, and the old priest Qiu Shi did not.
If Lian asked the old priest to follow Bing and Qiu Ning to follow him, the old priest might still doubt whether Lian intended to send him and Bing to die. With such an arrangement, the old priest only felt that even if Lian planned to send Bing to die, at least he would Can survive, and as long as he lives, the Heiyuan tribe and the Yuanji tribe still have hope. How could he think at this time that he was going to sacrifice himself to let the younger and more promising fighters escape, and at the same time solve his big hidden danger for the Xirang and Feisha tribes!
"Let's go!" Hide led the team to Taniguchi first.
Da He carried the old priest on his back at the same time.
The old priest feels a little bad, are they going to rush to the front? Also, why didn't Hide let him give the final blessing to the soldiers? To increase the courage of the soldiers
Yan Mo stood on the mound and looked ahead. The mound was a temporary watchtower created by Yuan Zhan.
I saw a large number of triangular tents appearing on the grassland in the distance, and looking forward, you can see a sunken valley. The hills on both sides of the valley are not high, but the inner side is relatively steep, and the outer side is relatively gentle. tall bushes.
The wind brought a strong smell of fishy smell and blood.
Looking down, in the grass not far from his feet was a corpse that had been gnawed to pieces by wild beasts, and looking around, such severed limbs could be seen everywhere, and more bones were left over from being eaten by wild beasts .
The weeds around here are sure to grow especially well this year.
Yan Mo is glad that he didn't have to see the scene of beating and killing as soon as he came, otherwise he would save people to death just by saving people. If he didn't save them, just seeing so many people would cut his scum value by half, which he had worked so hard to lose by more than 20,000 points.
Yuan Zhan estimated the approximate range of those tents, and felt that it would be difficult to get them all underground at once, but once the warriors of the three races were alarmed, it would be impossible for him to concentrate on solving these people. Maybe he could do something underground first. , loosen all that soil? This way he can get all those people at once...
"You plan to bury them alive?" Yan Mo said the original plan in one go.
Yuan Zhan didn't deny it, "This is the fastest."
"no."
Yuan Zhan frowned, "Because the ancestor god will punish you for my indiscriminate killing?" This feeling of being tied up is not very comfortable.
"right."
"But these three tribes attacked my tribe first!"
"Revenge, deterrence, and extermination of the enemy are two different things. Don't tell me, you don't want to exterminate all three clans including the Zhu clan."
Yuan Zhan said patiently: "Even if I don't exterminate them, I still need to make them afraid, so that they won't dare to attack the Yuanji tribe again."
"So you're going to kill them all?"
"If I don't come today, they will kill all the warriors of the original tribe and turn all women and children into slaves!"
Yan Mo didn't want to say something like "they are beasts, we can't be like beasts", this is not in line with his character, but he can't just watch Yuan Zhan kill so many people, even if he deliberately Stimulate Yuan Zhan and force him to knock him out, but if Yuan Zhan takes the initiative to attack, even if he doesn't see it or know it, the guide will calculate his scum value according to five people.
Looking at the size of the tent area, the total number of fighters from the three tribes is about 13500, even if calculated according to 1000, he will be added 200 scum points!
He's had enough punishment, and he really doesn't want to do it again if it's not necessary!
"Let them take the initiative to attack us." Yan Mo said.
Yuan Zhan was reluctant, "That would be a lot of trouble. If there are fighters above level 4 among them, it will be even more troublesome!"
Yan Mo smiled, "You can do whatever you want, anyway, the punishment will only fall on me immediately."
Yuan Zhan took a deep breath. He was used to using all means to achieve his goals. In order to hunt wild beasts, they would always come up with various methods. Very few fighters would attack powerful wild beasts head-on. Even if they caught rabbits, no one would Will pounce on the face of the rabbit.
Hunting and killing enemies, of course, the simpler and more effective the better!
But now his priest asked him to give up the easier method of destroying the enemy and choose a more complicated and troublesome method.
"You can do some reconnaissance first. If there are senior fighters who are more difficult to deal with, we will try to go around and join your tribe first. If not, we can go directly. If you are a man, come here in a fair manner. !” Yan Mo said seriously.
"Man?"
"A man's man."
Yuan Zhan, who considers himself to be a man among men, ran straight into the grass, no matter what, he would always find out the details of the enemy first, and if he saw one that was too powerful, he could secretly kill it. If only one or two were killed, the Ancestral God would not punish his priest, would he
The Shi tribe warrior who was patrolling nearby suddenly pulled another warrior beside him: "What do you think is that?"
"where?"
"There! There it is!"
"What a big bumblebee!" The soldier was surprised, "Huh? There's someone behind the bumblebee!"
"Man-eating bee!" The red fox warrior not far away suddenly turned his head and ran like crazy, shouting as he ran: "Everyone, run! Be careful that the man-eating bee is flying over! Hide in the tent!"
"Man-eating bees?" Several Shi tribe warriors who hadn't reacted looked at each other.
"Man-eating bee!" This is the person who reacted.
"Run!"
"But someone..."
No one listened to the soldier's reminder. In fact, there were other people who saw the humans in the bee colony, but they couldn't care about anything now. When they saw the man-eating bees, of course they should run for their lives first!
Yan Mo stood speechless on the mound. He saw that the patrolling soldiers were still a little worried about being thrown at him with wooden spears, and were about to find a place to hide, when he saw all the patrolling soldiers yelling and running towards the tent area.
The patrolling soldiers fled back to the tent area, and the sound of shouting man-eating bees caused chaos in the tent area. It was not until the leaders of the three clans came out to stop and give orders to hide and prepare to attack with torches that the soldiers of the three clans gradually became more active from the panic. sequence.
Bo E, the patriarch of the Shi tribe, came out of the tent, took a torch, walked to a high place, and stared at the mound in the distance and the people and man-eating bees on the mound. He could not see clearly because of the distance.
Chidou, the warrior leader of the Red Fox tribe, and Qiang Gu, the warrior leader of the Haola tribe, also walked towards the high ground with torches in their hands.
"There are not many man-eating bees. It doesn't look like a group of them come out to hunt. Who is that person standing on the mound? How dare he stand among the man-eating bees?" Qianggu asked.
Chidou narrowed his eyes slightly, "Snake people can control poisonous snakes, and maybe other tribes can control man-eating bees. The soldiers who patrolled just now said that the person standing among the man-eating bees has white hair, but he doesn't look like an old man." .with white hair, the man must have come from a more distant tribe."
"Do you want to kill him?" Qiang Gu looked at the two of them.
Chidou glanced at Boye, the chief of the Xi tribe, but said nothing.
Boye didn't like people threatening him and his soldiers, so he immediately ordered: "Shoot that man with a wooden spear! Beware of man-eating bees attacking!"
"Yes!" The soldier in charge of listening to the order was about to convey Bo'e's order, but just as he stepped forward, the ground under his feet suddenly sank, and he disappeared into the soil immediately.
The three of Bo A were shocked.
"What's going on? Is there a pit there?" Qianggu called. The nearby soldiers immediately went to dig on the soil, trying to dig out the sunken soldier.
"Ah!" Bo'e suddenly roared, and thrust his wooden spear into the nearby ground, and then he flew up horizontally with this force, and the ground under his feet collapsed.
Chidou reacted the fastest. He was the first to jump off the high ground, and cautiously stabbed the ground under his feet with his wooden spear.
Qianggu also jumped down.
Bo E was not as lucky as the two of them. As soon as his feet hit the ground, the wooden spear supporting his body suddenly fell into the soil, and his whole body fell to the ground.
Bo He wanted to turn his body around, but another thorn appeared from under him!
"Puff puff puff!" Not only the soil thorns, but also three soil arrows shot from the direction where Chidou was standing.
Bo He roared loudly, his body skin became extremely hard, but the three soil arrows and soil thorns still caused him a certain amount of damage.
"Chidou!" A row of long, hard thorns protruded from Bo'e's back, he grabbed a stone hammer and rushed towards the direction of Chidou angrily.
"It's not me!" Chidou yelled wildly, his expression changed drastically.
At this moment, the red fox warrior and the pig warrior faced each other with spears.
But at this moment, a large number of soil arrows were shot again from behind Chidou.
Boe screamed wildly. He grabbed a nearby warrior and waved his body to shield himself from the arrows.
The red fox warrior let out a miserable cry.
Looking at Chidou and the red fox fighters who turned back behind him, their eyes were red, "Boa! It's not me, the red foxes, who are attacking you! Put down our fighters!"
"Chi!" A soil arrow pierced Chidou's heart.
A warrior of the Haola tribe emerged from the soil and appeared behind Chidou inexplicably.
The Haola warrior was still wondering, he fell into the pit suddenly just now, and then popped out suddenly when he wanted to struggle.
Chidou looked down at the soil arrow piercing his chest, and slowly turned his head to look behind him.
The Haola warrior stared wide-eyed, he still didn't know what happened.
As soon as Qianggu saw the Haola warrior, he yelled, "What did you do? No!"
"Hey!" The Haola warrior didn't even have time to open his mouth to defend himself, he had already been pierced through the body by the wooden spears of three red fox warriors.
"They killed Chidou! Take revenge for Chidou!" The red fox warrior went crazy.
"Stop! Everyone stop!" Bo E, the patriarch of the Shi tribe, also felt that something was wrong at this time, but no matter how much he shouted, he could not stop the red fox warriors from attacking the Haola tribe.
The Haola tribe was forced to fight back, and Qiang Gu yelled at Bo E: "You did it, right? You wiped out the Yuanji tribe, and you also want to take this opportunity to kill us and the Red Fox tribe, right! Warriors of the Red Fox tribe, you The enemy is not us, but the Zhu people! They don't want to give us salt, they want to destroy us just like they destroyed the original tribe! Kill the people of the Zhu people!"
The tribal camp was in chaos.
Yuan Zhan appeared beside Yan Mo.
Yan Mo looked at the camp of the three clans who seemed to be killing each other in the distance, and turned his head to look at him, "What did you do?"
"Has the ancestor god punished you?" Yuan Zhan asked almost at the same time.
Yan Mo subconsciously looked at his right hand. His right hand didn't glow, and he didn't get any hints of adding or subtracting the scum value in his mind.
"Not yet..." Yan Mo replied hesitantly.
Yuan Zhan raised the corners of his lips, "Man dies quickly, I can't protect you, I can."
Boy, are you implying that you don't intend to be an upright person
Yuan Zhan hadn't finished speaking, "I don't need to be a man among men, I just need to be your man."
Yuan Zhan didn't realize at all that he had molested his priest, he just spoke out his true thoughts casually.
"... But I don't want to be your man, let alone your woman. Yuan Zhan, if you tell me these things again, I will really kill you." Yan Mo's expression was very serious.
Yuan Zhan grinned and said nothing, no one knew what he was thinking.
The two fell into an eerie silence.
About ten minutes later, Yuan Zhan pointed at the camp of the three tribes, "It has calmed down. I used to think that the patriarch of the Shi tribe is a bull with a bad temper and loves women, but he is obviously not. Let's go around."
They can also travel through the ground, but Yuan Zhan wants to retain their combat effectiveness.
"Hey!" Yan Mo raised his hand suddenly, "Look, is that the warrior from the Yuanji tribe who came out of the valley?"
