The people in the watchtower saw the wolf smoke, which was red.
Yan Mo frowned, something is not good.
"It must be the moth catchers." Bing's face changed drastically.
"Red smoke?" Hide was surprised.
Yuan Zhan subconsciously looked at Yan Mo.
Yan Mo stood up and said quickly, "I gave you the color-coded powders. The red color means that the moth catchers have encountered a difficult enemy, and they are asking for help."
Then he folded his fingers and counted, "The Mothcatchers have been out for fifteen days. If they only hurried on their way and the Morgans recognized their way, they should have sent them to their destination, so the place where they were in danger should be there. Near a big river."
"Could it be those Morgans? They took red salt but didn't want to give it to slaves, so... no," he realized that it was unreasonable in the middle of talking, "Even if they didn't want to give it to slaves, no one stopped them from leaving The big deal is that they don’t come anymore, so there’s no need to attack them. That’s what happened on the return trip? Besides encountering the enemy, could it be that the heavy snow trapped them?”
Yan Mo shook his head, "It's not the heavy snow, the yellowish smoke means being trapped by the weather or the terrain. Besides, I asked Wu Chen to go with them, as long as they can find a igniter, they won't be afraid of freezing to death."
Hideous, "We want to know the situation, we can only send someone to look."
Bing looked at Meng, with an anxious expression on his face.
Meng Zao was mentally prepared, stood up and said to Yuan Zhan, "I'll go and have a look."
Yuan Zhan also stood up, and said decisively: "No need. The red smoke has already indicated that they have encountered an enemy. The moth catcher will never light up the smoke for help unless he can't hold on anymore. What they need now is a soldier who can rescue them. Hey, Hunter, obey orders!"
"Here!" Hide and Lieshu stood up.
"The two of you are responsible for guarding the tribe. I haven't come back. No one is allowed to enter the tribe."
"Yes!" The two froze for a moment, and quickly agreed.
Hide couldn't help asking: "Leader, are you going to save people yourself?"
"Yes. The snow hasn't stopped outside, the snow is knee-deep, and the weather is terribly cold. Taking ordinary soldiers out will only damage the manpower, and the speed is still slow. Don't talk about rescuing moths, you may die in the Outside." Yuan Zhan was not polite at all.
The other warrior leaders also knew that Yuan Zhan was telling the truth, but they were still aggrieved.
Yan Mo thought in his mind that he had to quickly get out the sleds, snowmobiles and other things when he came back this time. In addition, he had to teach everyone how to ski, and he had to find animals suitable for walking in the snow and tame them.
Besides dogs, what other animals are suitable for pulling sleds? Do you want to catch some wolves and bring them back to be tamed
Yan Mo was distracted thinking about the future, and said: "I will go with the leader. Before we come back, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to open the city gate. If anyone asks for help, you can only let them Enter the empty house in the outer city."
"My lord priest?" When they heard that Yan Mo was going, the people in charge panicked a little, not even the leader of the warriors.
They are not afraid of Yuan Zhan leaving, because the priest is still there. Can the priest and the leader leave the tribe together
Oh, Goddess, look at what happened in the tribe when the leader and priest were away last time! They don't want to do it all over again.
They even felt that priests should stay in the tribe. These fighters are tough, but the priest is the soul and spiritual pillar of the tribe. With him, the fighters can exert their maximum combat effectiveness. It is not an exaggeration to say that with Yan Mo, they can face all the most terrifying enemies without fear of any danger.
Yuan Zhan also wanted to follow Mo Mo, but the weather was cold, he didn't want Mo Mo to go out and suffer, so he also wanted him to stay. Although he still has to feed his son once a day, he has just absorbed the seventh-level water crystal, and he thinks he can suppress the blood stone in a short time.
Yan Mo knew what he was going to say when he opened his mouth, raised his hand to stop him and said, "Moth Catching and the others must have been injured, I can save some of them if I go, and I can also ask Jiufeng to help us. Alright , Saving people is like putting out a fire, we will leave as soon as we are ready, and go back quickly.”
Yuan Zhan shut up. Since Mo was so worried about him and insisted on going with him, he would go with him on his back, and it was still warm for the two of them to sleep in their arms.
Does Yan Mo want to go out in heavy snow? Of course he doesn't want to. But he already knew that Catcher and the others were in danger. If he dared not take the initiative to save people, who knew whether the guide would sentence him to death
Well, in fact, he also wants to lose a little more scum value, and besides...
Before Yan Mo left, he looked around the room and said with a smile: "Don't worry, even if the leader and I are not at home, the tribe will be fine with you here. I believe in you, and you also have to believe in yourself."
Not to mention how much fighting spirit Yan Mo brought to the leaders of the tribe with his words before leaving, and how he vowed to protect the tribe well, and Yan Mo collected a lot of surplus supplies and food, and took the Jiufeng brand car with Yuan Zhan to save people.
Jiufeng has a huge body, and it is easy to grab a large wooden box. Humans need to walk for more than ten days. It can reach it in half a day with a few flaps of its wings.
"They bypassed me and came to you directly?" Yuan Zhan sneered upon hearing Yuan Ji's request to live in the inner city for the winter.
"Probably they think I'm easy to talk to." Yan Mo lay on the side of the wooden box and looked down, the wind made his face ache, and he hurriedly wrapped himself more tightly with a big fur cloak.
"They asked you to reply to them tomorrow?" Yuan Zhan on the other side turned around and asked.
"right."
"Then you still come out with me?" Yuan Zhan moved over from the wooden box and reached out to hug him.
Yan Mo raised his head and shouted to Jiufeng to make it fly lower.
Jiufeng responded, and lowered a lot after a while, so that they could see the ground more clearly.
Yan Mo closed his eyes and looked at the white snow field for a long time. Even if there was no reflection, his eyes still couldn't take it: "I'm too lazy to argue with them."
Yuan Zhan suddenly understood what Yan Mo said before he left, and reached out his hand to wipe away the tears overflowing from the corner of his eyes, "Do you also want to see what they will do when neither of us is here?"
Yan Mo didn't deny that what he wanted was someone who was absolutely loyal, who was half-hearted or who was in Cao Ying and his heart was in Han, so forget it.
"That's fine. If there are those that are grilled inside and out, I'll peel and roast them when I get back!"
"Don't be so cruel." Yan Mo opened his eyes again and rubbed his face lightly. The temperature was so low that he felt that his tears would turn into ice scum when they dripped out.
"Then strip it and throw it out."
"No, we must tell his crimes in front of everyone, and let everyone judge together." The rules of the tribe must be established. As for the result of the trial, whether to expel him or kill him depends on the life of the traitor.
"It's better that no such person appears." Yan Mo murmured.
Yuan Zhan hugged him tighter.
"Jie! Mo Mo, the big river you mentioned has arrived." Jiu Feng didn't know if it was here, but Yan Mo said that it was the closest and largest river to Jiu Yuan.
Yan Mo looked down, and saw a large river with a width of several hundred meters flowing slowly on the ground below.
The river is not frozen, and the river is a little bit frozen.
Jiufeng held the wooden box and slowly circled the Dahekou and its surroundings. The two of them stared at the ground more carefully, trying to find the traces of Moth and others. But the heavy snow covered almost all traces, and the flying and falling snowflakes of goose feathers also greatly blocked the sight.
"There!" Yan Mo pointed to a bay.
The water surface is the gentlest there, where the river forms a natural arc, the shore is flat, and a few wooden stakes are inserted on the ground.
Jiufeng landed on the spot.
Yan Mo put the wooden box in his pocket, Yuan Zhan inspected it carefully on the shore, and Jiu Feng flew to the sky to continue to help them find people.
"This should be the stakes used by the Morgans to tie rafts or boats. The terrain here is high. If they want to go up, they probably use slaves to pull the fibers along the way. If this is the case, they want to send slaves over in winter, and the loss will be huge." It's quite scary, and freezing can freeze many people to death, maybe they have other transportation methods." Yan Mo walked to Yuan Zhan's side step by step.
"Don't they have spinner turtles? That turtle has webbed paws, so it should be able to swim in the water, and its body is so big. If there are more of them, it won't be difficult to pull the raft."
Yan Mo patted his head lightly, why didn't he think of such an obvious thing? Fixed thinking is not necessary.
"If only we could find the smoke pile where the Mothcatchers lit the fire."
"The snow is too heavy, even if there are any traces, it will be covered up. We searched for a long time in the sky just now, didn't we see nothing?" Yuan Zhan turned his back and squatted slightly, "Come up, I will carry you."
Yan Mo was not polite, and jumped on his back.
Yuan Zhan can now walk directly on the snow, no matter how deep the snow is on the ground, it will not affect him in any way.
"How do we find people?" Yan Mo had no experience in finding people in the snow.
Yuan Zhan pulled out his wooden spear, supported Yan Mo with one hand, looked up and looked around, and said casually: "Look at the animals, birds, and plants above the snow. Those who catch moths are all fighters above the second level. As long as a person can move, there must be a trace for us to follow."
"Then which direction are you going now?" Yan Mo humbly asked for advice, it was all about survival skills.
Yuan Zhan pointed to the east with his wooden spear, "Go east."
Yan Mo stretched out his head and looked towards the east, "Why are you going there? What did you see?"
Yuan Zhan probably wanted to teach Yan Mo a little more, and explained patiently as he walked: "It only took us half a day to rush here. Half a day ago, the moth hunters were still able to light up the smoke for help, which means that they still had a part at that time." People are alive and not under control. But when we flew over, we let Jiufeng fly very low. If they were still alive, they would definitely see Jiufeng, and they would find a way for us to find them, but we didn’t see anything all the way. arrive."
"You mean they're all dead, or all captured?"
"Yes. In this case, we have to find the place where the fight started. If we can't find it, we can see who the enemy might be. If there is a tribe nearby, it's easy, just go to that direction. If not, just See if there is a safe place to spend the night nearby."
Yan Mo followed his train of thought and continued: "Mothcatchers were caught half a day ago. The snow is so heavy. It is impossible for their captors to go too far with so many people or corpses. If the Moths took them away with a big raft , Moth catchers must have left something on the river bank, but you didn’t find anything just now, did you?”
Yuan Zhan nodded, "There is nothing under the snow, no blood, and no traces of battle. Then the possibility of Mothcatcher and the Morgans fighting is very small."
"It's also possible that they didn't fight here."
"Then no matter if it's the Morgans or whoever they are, they need a safe and windproof place to stay. I just watched from the sky. Going east from here, there is a rolling place where there are many huge rocks. There is also a stone wall, if you want to make a temporary camp, it is the best choice."
Yan Mo also noticed the place Yuan Zhan mentioned when he looked down, but he didn't pay more attention because he didn't see anyone.
Yuan Zhan added: "Under this kind of weather, that kind of place can't be seen clearly from the sky. If there are really people inside, such a heavy snow, even a tent will be covered."
Yan Mo didn't ask why he didn't let Jiufeng land there directly. He had no combat experience and knew that he couldn't startle the enemy. What's more, they didn't know anything about the enemy. Rescue all the captured people.
If the enemy sees Jiufeng and them and feels invincible, it is very possible to kill them all directly, which has become a burdensome moth catcher.
"Could it be the savages who came out to look for prey?" Yan Mo was now worried that the moth hunters would all be killed by the man-eating savage tribe and dragged back as meat.
"That's unless it's a big tribe like the Sun-worshiping tribe, the Yi tribe, and Yuanji. But we have sent people to look for it before, and there is no such big tribe nearby."
"Is that the Duofei tribe that was just built?"
Yuan Zhan continued to shake his head, "It's unlikely, they probably won't want to confront us in the short term."
Yan Mo thought the same way, but apart from the savages and Duofi, who else could kill or capture all the hundred fighters in Jiuyuan
