The old man who has never experienced the nourishment of love can't detect any crisis, but he still knows that this is not a good time to observe and study carefully. Seeing Yuan Zhan's calm face, he asked strangely: "Why did you come here?" , didn’t we make an appointment to meet at the foot of the mountain beyond the hunting ground? Have everyone arrived safely?”
This was an agreement they had made after they came out of the Yanshan tribe. Although there were some changes in the middle, the strategy was basically implemented according to the original plan. For the sake of the thousand and five hundred people, they did not intend to fight against Moore from the beginning. And the hunting place he mentioned is the open land where Morgan allows all ethnic groups in the market to hunt, where there are continuous hills, and further in, there are deep mountains and old forests.
"We have arrived at the hunting place, there are many wild animals, and it is not safe to walk at night, and they also need to rest." It is easy for Yuan Zhan to say that I want to sleep with you, but it is a bit difficult for him to say that I am worried about you. He didn't have that nerve at all.
"Are you worried about me?" Yan Mo raised his eyebrows and smiled, after all he wasn't ignorant.
Yuan Zhan didn't say a word, seeing that he was soaked, he reached out to pull his clothes.
He just went ashore because he didn't feel the excitement of Da Da's transformation. Only then did Yan Mo feel how cold the cold wind by the river was, which made him sneezed twice. Take out the spare clothes and put on.
In the past, Yuan Zhan didn't care about Yan Mo being looked at by others. Everyone was so naked, and there was nothing to see, but now he can't accept his priest touching others, and he also doesn't want his body to be seen by others. See.
Yuan Zhan blocked Da Da's sight.
Da Da didn't have the habit of staring at the naked man, his animal skin fell into the water while transforming, seeing that Yan Mo could transform into dry clothes, he went around Yuan Zhan and reached out to ask for it.
Yan Mo threw Yuan Zhan's leather skirt to him.
Yuan Zhan was upset, but he didn't say anything.
After a brief tidying up, the three immediately set out on the road. This place is very close to the garrison of a group of Morgan fighters, and it is not a suitable place to stay for a long time. If it wasn't for the dark night, they might have been noticed by the other party.
Both Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo have night vision capabilities, and with a little moon and stars in the sky, they can see the surrounding area clearly, and they don't need torches to guide them when walking.
And Da Da may have no obstacles in walking in the dark because of the beast gene.
The three of them silently and quickly crossed Morgan's garrison, and walked towards a higher slope by detour. Only then did Yan Mo stop and look back.
The fire in Morgan has been stopped. It is far away, it is dark again, and the smoke cannot be seen, but you can see a lot of torches lit in Morgan's residence, and it seems that he is still busy and vigilant.
"It's going to be okay, right?"
"As long as he is not discovered by high-ranking fighters, he can escape. You don't have to worry about the snake-human race, I will bring them here soon, and I will leave marks for him along the way."
Yan Mo nodded, "Meng's ability is very useful, but it's too hard. When he brings the snake man back, he has to take people to the Yanshan tribe. When I go back this time, I will see if the Feisha tribe is still alive. There are people with similar ability to him."
"The road is long." Yuan Zhan was not as optimistic as he was. He has also seen the map drawn by Yan Mo on the beach, and it seems very simple, as long as he roughly follows the big river to Jiuyuan.
But in fact, they had to cross mountains and ridges, through deep mountains and old forests that perhaps no one had ever walked through, to wade across rivers, to pass through miasma, and to deal with wild animals, poisonous snakes, poisonous insects, poisonous weeds, and wild men. If Mogan's pursuit is added, they don't know when they will be able to return to Jiuyuan.
Meng complained to him, saying that he followed Mogan's boat all the way along the river, if he hadn't run fast and was not afraid of climbing mountains, he would have died several times.
Yuan Zhan Kandada took the initiative to guard the surroundings when they were talking, and his dissatisfaction with him was slightly reduced.
"Nine Winds should lure the Water God here. I'll ask it to see if there is any way for us to walk by water."
"Unless the water god followed us all the way to the upper reaches of the big river. The slaves sent by Morgan told me that there were terrible monsters in the water. If there were no swirling turtle tugboats, and no Morgan priests asked the water god about the sky, and engraved the blessings and deterrents of the water god on the boats , even the Morgans dare not walk in the water."
Yuan Zhan paused at this point, "Even Jiufeng also regards us as its people, and you are also raised by it, so it will help Jiuyuan and you. What kind of method do you use to find the water god?" The conditions made the water god agree to help us? Do you think, why the water god has been lingering near Morgan and not leaving?"
Yan Mo sighed, he knew what Yuan Zhan was reminding him, "Morgan can provide spouse and food, but we can't."
Yuan Zhanxin wants us to do it without your strange rules, but only a dozen or twenty slaves in a year or even a few years can be exchanged for the protection of the water god. This deal should not be too cost-effective.
Yan Mo rubbed his forehead and asked him, "What do you think?"
Yuan Zhan didn't really want to make this decision, but he had to say: "You go back first, you can't live without you in the tribe. I'll take people along the river, and let Jiufeng bring you over to find me when you're free. Let’s send red salt or something, if it’s fast, maybe I can take people back to Jiuyuan before winter.”
"What if Morgan pursues you?"
"In their territory, they will retreat when they are out of their territory." This is the experience gained from fighting with various ethnic groups in Yuan Zhan.
Yan Mo looked up at the sky, the crescent moon slanted into the dark clouds, it was already the middle of the night.
Yuan Zhan didn't want to be separated from him for such a long time in his heart. Looking at his expression, he stretched out his hand to touch his cold face, "Don't worry about the people of the Yanshan tribe. The Yanshan tribe said that they walked along the big river at the beginning. Their Yanshan It shouldn’t be far from the big river, so let’s walk there and make a slight detour to meet them.”
"I'm not worried about the people of the Yanshan tribe." Seeing Yuan Zhan didn't believe him, Yan Mo grabbed his hand and said with emphasis: "Really. To me, the people of the Yanshan tribe are similar to other tribes. You don't have to treat them as special in the future." object. I was thinking about another thing."
"What's the matter?" Yuan Zhan's voice was deep and deep, obviously there were still so many people waiting for them, but he couldn't help but want to be intimate with his little priest at this moment, and then they would be separated for a long time It's time.
She lowered her head, rubbed his forehead with the tip of her nose, and then rubbed the tip of his nose all the way down.
Yan Mo raised his head, suddenly wanted to laugh, their posture looked like they were kissing.
When it came to kissing, the savage opened his mouth and bit his mouth.
Yan Mo turned his head away from him, "Stop making trouble, let's get down to business."
Da Da peeked at the two of them and licked his lips, he really wanted to join in! In his view, intimacy means fighting and fighting, hugging each other, you bite me, and I bite you.
Yuan Zhan bit him again, this time on the ear.
For some reason, Yan Mo didn't push him away this time. He didn't push until the other party bit his neck and sucked hard, as if he was going to continue biting and then do something else. Tear off the opponent's head that is about to stick to his chest.
"I have an idea... Do you want to listen or not!" Yan Mo scolded, then turned his head again, "You are not allowed to look! Watch out for me!"
With a low whimper, Da Da climbed onto a big rock and squatted down, but his eyes still glanced at the two of them from time to time.
Yan Mo was busy and didn't pay attention. If he paid attention, he would be surprised to find that Da Da's eyes reflected green light in the dark night.
Yan Mo gasped suddenly, this beast! Immediately, he stopped being polite, pulled out a golden needle and stuck it on someone's forehead.
Yuan Zhan grinned in pain, had to let go of his mouth, and reluctantly licked the rice grains before parting.
Yan Mo grabbed his ear and pulled it hard, "Don't you see what time it is?"
Someone hummed, when? You have time to touch other men by the river, but don't you have time if I lick you twice? Thinking about it, I was not angry, and I caught someone and took a bite.
Yan Mo wiped the drool off his face expressionlessly, and cruelly pricked someone's particularly protruding part with a needle.
"Aw!" the original battle monster yelled, almost jumping up.
Daba was startled and stood up.
The roar of wild animals came from not far away, and there was a fishy smell in the jungle.
They stood here for too long, this place can't stay anymore, Yuan Zhan grabbed Yan Mo and ran away, Da Da followed quickly.
This time, the three of them rushed to the location of the large army in one go.
It was under a slope sheltered from the wind. Yuan Zhan cleverly made a semi-cave with a roof by taking advantage of the terrain, so that as long as they guarded the entrance of the cave, they could still light a fire in the cave without being discovered by Morgan.
When Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo came in, most of them were sleeping.
Seeing that Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo were safe and sound, those in charge of security were refreshed.
Yan Mo made a small gesture to tell the defenders not to wake everyone up.
The defenders nodded excitedly, and quickly made room for them to sit and rest, and someone brought them water.
Dahe, Shengu and the others were very vigilant, and woke up whenever there was any movement. They were overjoyed when they saw Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo, and got up quickly, quietly walked to them and sat down.
After Yan Mo had a simple meal, he wanted to draw a simple topographic map on the ground according to the map provided by the guide, but after drawing the map, he found that these people could not understand the meaning of those map symbols, so he could only choose another way.
He drew a winding gully with a wooden stick dipped in water, and said, "This is a big river."
Another stone was placed next to the middle reaches of the river, "This is Morgan."
Then he replaced the meadow with a few clumps of weeds, inserted a few wooden branches into the ground to represent the forest, and kneaded clods of mud to form mountains. In this way, he created the simplest sand table.
With this sand table topographic map, the explanation is much more intuitive.
Yuan Zhan and the others didn't understand what he meant at first, but they almost understood it as he talked.
Those who are more sensitive to war, like Yuanzhan and Shengu, almost immediately felt the importance of this pseudo-sandbox map.
Shen Gu was even more surprised that how could Yan Mo know so much about the landform and route from Jiuyuan to Morgangan? He felt that this young priest was an incredible existence.
First, his magical waist bag that can hold a lot of things, then the bone implements he took out, and his ability to communicate with the mountain god Jiufeng and the water god Tianwu, and now he has even created something that only God knows map.
At first glance, the map seems to be very ordinary, but for the natives who usually do not travel more than a hundred miles away, this thing is like a divine metaphor.
Yuan Zhan was also surprised by the map Yan Mo took out, this was the second time, but he kept his surprise in his heart and didn't show it.
Yan Mo didn't know that he shocked everyone again, and pointed to the topographic map seriously and said: "Everyone can see it from the sand table. First of all, we can't walk along the river all the time."
It turns out that this thing is called a sand table, and everyone remembered a new term.
"The river flows from high to low along the terrain. Sometimes it passes through dense forests, sometimes it goes around mountains, and sometimes it goes underground. If we keep following the river, we have to go around a long way and walk a lot to get back. To Jiuyuan."
Everyone nodded.
Yuan Zhan pointed at the topographic map with a wooden stick, "If we go straight, we have to climb many mountains and cross this big lake. Is this a forest? From here to here?"
Yan Mo, "Yes. To put it simply, there is no easy road. No, it should be said that there is no road at all. We have to travel through the mountains and fields with wild beasts and poisonous insects. And the journey is very long. Even if we can walk back, It’s going to take a long time, too.”
Hei Qi and Qing Lu also came over.
Hearing this, Hei Qi whispered with lingering fear: "We used to have more people than we have now, but almost half of them died along the way. Because the road was too difficult to walk, after we arrived in Mogan, our life was like this. Don’t dare to leave easily.”
Shen Gu and the others did not reject Hei Qi and the others. For them, the Yanshan tribe had a similar experience to them, except that they met the kind-hearted little priest of Jiuyuan before they exterminated the tribe. Everyone is the same, so naturally there is nothing to reject.
Dahe looked around and asked hesitantly, "Master Jiufeng, can you fly us back in batches?"
Yan Mo shook his head, not to mention whether Jiufeng was willing or not, he didn't want Jiuyuan people to think that Jiufeng is a flying beast that can be driven at will, and the status of the mountain god must be outstanding, besides...
"The journey is too far. Although Nine Winds are powerful, they are still fledglings. Its strength is limited. It can't take too many people at a time, and it's impossible to fly back and forth continuously. Besides, it won't take anyone with me without me." superior."
Fearing that everyone would not understand, Yan Mo did the math for them, "Jiufeng can bring up to ten people at a time, and there are 1,500 people here, plus 200 from the Yanshan tribe, that's 1,700 people. That is to say, Jiufeng has to fly back and forth 170 times. Dahe, how many days did it take us to fly here this time?"
Da He rubbed his nose, "Nearly three days."
"Well, it takes six days to go back and forth. This is when Jiufeng's strength is relatively sufficient. After the second and third flights, it needs more rest time. Let's count it as an average of eight days for a round trip, one hundred and seventy Flying back and forth, without stopping, is 1360 days, do you know how long this number represents?"
People in Jiuyuan who had learned mathematics were doing calculations in their heads or on the ground with sticks, while Shengu, Dada and the others looked at Yan Mo foolishly.
Yan Mo said the answer: "Nearly four years."
Everyone, "Ah!"
In fact, Jiufeng can take more than ten people at a time. When they came, Jiufeng flew more leisurely and didn't hurry. They would stop when they saw something interesting. If you don't want to tire Jiu Feng so much, Jiu Feng probably won't agree.
Yuan Zhan resolutely said: "Don't think about Jiufeng, do you see Moergan water god Tianwu pulling a boat? The mountain god can only sacrifice and beg, but not for us to drive at will. If there is no Mo, Jiufeng will not be able to do it at all. Come with us to Morgan."
Dahe laughed, and Yan Mo patted him, signaling him not to take it to heart, it's normal for them to have such thoughts.
"Even if Jiu Feng is willing, this time is too long, and the fewer people stay, the less safe it will be. Four years, too many changes, it's better for everyone to go back together."
Everyone nodded again.
"But the leader and I can't follow everyone all the time, Jiuyuan is still waiting for us."
As soon as Yan Mo said this, the expressions of Hei Qi and the others changed, but Shen Gu remained expressionless. He thought that it must have been arranged for the priest to say this.
Yan Mo looked at Yuan Zhan, and what he had to say next was the key point: "I don't suggest that you just walk all the way back."
Yuan Zhan's eyes fell on the topographic map, he seemed to understand something, raised his head, "What are your plans?"
Yan Mo smiled, he first asked Hei Qi: "Where is the exact location of the Yanshan tribe?"
Hei Qi carefully looked at the topographic map, confirmed with Qinglu, and pointed to an approximate location, "Here."
Yan Mo pointed to the topographic map and asked again: "Where is the farthest hunting range of Morgan? It's only in this direction."
Hei Qi pointed out very clearly this time: "As far as this dense forest, our salt mountain is just in front of this dense forest. In fact, they didn't come here very often, but since they found out that we are here, they have sent people over. A few trips, but never into the dense woods behind."
Yan Mo pointed to the large and small lakes behind the dense forest, and then circled the surrounding mountains, "This is a semi-basin with abundant water sources, and the climate must not be bad, which is very suitable for human life."
Yuan Zhan stared at the semi-basin with many large and small lakes, and raised his tone slightly: "Do you want us to build a new tribe here?"
"right!"
