"Roar-"
A shrill beast roar sounded in the forest.
After the sound of the metal crashing, the animal roar finally stopped, and the heavy breathing gradually subsided.
Shao Xuan pulled the leaves next to him and wiped the blood on the sword.
The soldiers next to him dealt with the fierce beast just killed, and opened the kettle to put the blood of the beast into it.
In the past, after they hunted the prey, they would try to keep the animal skin intact, but now they don't need it anymore, and the animal skin will not be hoarded and traded. All they need is food. The beast became the lunch for the warriors.
Seven or eight people dealt with the beast at the same time, the internal organs were divided, the meat was cut off, and the skin and bones were left in place.
Dokang handed over a jug full of animal blood, "Drink something?"
Shao Xuan waved his hand, "No, I don't consume much, give it to other warriors."
Dokang grinned and didn't say much, took a sip into his mouth and handed it to the others.
The slightly viscous liquid with a strong bloody smell went down the esophagus and poured into the stomach. The energy spent all morning was gradually replenished, and a trace of warmth rose.
Sweat seeped out from the pores, and Dokang tore off a few tender leaves next to him and rubbed his hands, rubbing off the blood clots that had already coagulated on his hands.
"It's been two days, and we haven't met anyone who is chasing him." Duo Kang looked at Shao Xuan, waiting for Shao Xuan to give some news. He saw Shao Xuan playing with straw ropes in the morning. Is Shao Xuan at this time? It will be so boring to play with straw ropes, it must be divination. It's just that Duokang has been guarding the surrounding with the team, and has no time to ask in detail. Now he finally waits for the opportunity to come over and ask.
"We will meet soon. Not everyone thinks that we will follow the same path, and not everyone chooses to ambush, and some take the initiative to attack. Perhaps, there are people who can predict the path we will take." Shao Xuan said.
"Even our route can be calculated accurately?!" Duo Kang was surprised, and he didn't believe it. However, it is really possible to think of the Yi family. Although the Yi family has a lot of waste, there are still capable people with real skills. .
"What's your plan?" Dokang asked again.
"Just continue on the road, by the way, have you done the things you asked everyone to help do?" Shao Xuan asked.
At the time of departure, Shao Xuan assigned some tasks to the soldiers who were a little more leisurely. With the elderly and children, the journey would definitely not be as fast as when they were hunting, so naturally some people would be idle, and Shao Xuan let them Have time to help out with the little things.
"I've done a lot, and they're all there." Duokang pointed to a rattan basket not far away.
"That's good, you can go first later, I'll stay and arrange here." Shao Xuan walked over and opened the lid on the big rattan basket, looked at the large and small things inside, and was very satisfied.
Dokang thought about what Shao Xuan did when they went to Anba City to trade and came back when they encountered the young master of Anba City who sent someone to chase them down. Pack up quickly and continue on your way.
Seeing that Shao Xuan was left behind alone, Xiang Chen asked Duo Kang doubtfully, "The elder won't leave?"
"Our elders have something to do." Duo Kang motioned to Xiang Chen to hurry back to the team.
Xiang Chen was full of doubts. He didn't go to trade with Duokang at the beginning, so he didn't know what happened at that time. Even if he heard others say it later, he was not impressed.
He returned to the team and picked up his younger daughter, carried his daughter-in-law on his back, and put other things on his neck or waist, and then Xiang Chen, like the others, began to continue on his way.
Soon, the bloody place quieted down.
In the warm and humid air, with the smell of blood, there was a beast roar in the distance. Shao Xuan looked up at the sky above. Through the covered leaves, he could see some flying figures going back and forth. wandering.
Those carrion birds can't wait. The first one rushed down, broke open the leaves, and went straight to the wreckage of the beast on the ground. It was slashed to the ground by Shao Xuan's sword, and after thrashing twice, he died.
When the other scavengers rushed down, they turned around in the air and rested on a branch not far away, staring at Shao Xuan.
More than 20 carrion birds flew down and stared at Shao Xuan not far away, and there were more in the sky.
There is only Shao Xuan around here. If it were other cowardly people, maybe he would be timid, but Shao Xuan ignored them. He was busy with the corpse of the beast for a while. The carrion bird slammed on the ground, and after finishing the work on this side, he left and continued to arrange it around.
Shao Xuan intends to set up another chain set. What he asked the soldiers to help do is to set traps, and there must be hunters behind them. Even if they can't be blocked by these traps, they will at least cause them some losses and losses. Blocking, the speed of those people's pursuit will also slow down.
Seeing Shao Xuan leave the carcass, the carrion birds standing on the branches rushed up, dropping a lot of feathers in the fight. Because the team of Yanjiao passed away not long ago, the large beasts here have been avoided, and in a short period of time, there is nothing to snatch food from these carrion birds.
The carrion birds pecking at the flesh and blood on the bones of the animals, blinking their gray-white eyelids, holding bloody shreds of meat in their mouths, guarding Shao Xuan. Mao shouted, this was driving away, not letting Shao Xuan come to snatch their food. However, Shao Xuan didn't intend to pay any attention to it at all, and continued to do his own thing.
The blue-gray vines thinner than the little finger are entangled in the inconspicuous grass. If anyone who is familiar with the mountains and forests sees them, they will definitely be on guard, because this kind of vine is not found nearby, but a kind of life. Vines in swampy areas are thin and tough.
The sharp wooden thorns and polished stone needles were blocked by the leaves, and something in a rattan basket was hidden nearby for half an hour.
After all this was done, the corpse was only left with skin and bones, and most of the meat had been cleaned up. It was a huge beast, and now only a handful of skin and bones and hard horns were left.
Shao Xuan stood up, glanced at the place, and then left.
Taihe tribe.
A team of Taihe warriors drove the sneaky people out of the forest and killed two people.
"How many times has this been?"
"The third wave, or the fourth wave?" said a soldier.
"Fortunately, the people from Yanjiao leave quickly, otherwise they will be annoying."
In the past two days, they often encountered people wandering in the nearby mountains and forests, especially the Yanjiao tribe. They took over the Yanjiao site, and naturally they had to send people to guard them and drive away anyone who wanted to approach and inquire. run.
Those people seemed to be only small groups, and they didn't dare to offend the people of Tai He. Seeing that the Yanjiao tribe was almost empty, they gave up and looked for the Yanjiao people in the forest. Some still want to threaten Taihe's people, but this is Taihe's territory. People are not threatened, but they are dragged up the mountain by Taihe's people to make fertilizer.
The sun was skewed, and at dusk, a team of about a hundred people followed the trail. After all, there were so many people in Yanjiao, it was impossible to leave no trace. For those skilled in the business, they could easily tell the difference. .
They were the first people to catch up. After visiting the vicinity of the Yanjiao tribe, they followed the trail without stopping. They wanted to get some benefits before others.
Although there were only more than 100 people, they did not intend to fight recklessly, but to try to kidnap some people as hostages, and then threaten the people of Yanjiao to exchange fire crystals and salt stones. They have used this method on others. Many times, it is much more witty than reckless grabbing, but this time I am full of confidence.
"Beast corpse! They passed by here not long ago," said one of them.
They approached the beast corpse and wanted to judge the strength of the slaughtered person from the traces of the animal corpse, as well as the approximate time from the slaughter to the present, so that they could estimate the opponent's combat strength and the approximate time it would take to catch up.
However, when the person who went to check the animal corpse touched the animal bone that had been pecked with no flesh left, there were many changes.
hum—
With a rapid trembling sound, as if a chaotic switch was pressed, murderous aura filled the calm forest instantly.
The large-scale stone needle attack, like rain, resisted those who avoided, but accidentally triggered another round of traps. Whenever they thought they finally escaped, they would usher in another round of attacks. another round. The lasso is like a big hand that suddenly emerges from the ground, tying up those who cannot escape, and those who are slow to move are accidentally stabbed by wooden thorns and stone needles.
When all the chaos finally stopped, the people who were still safe did not dare to move around, and looked around vigilantly, their nerves tensed every time they took a step. Someone on the ground was moaning. They were hit and poisoned. Even if they survived, they would not be able to continue to pursue.
Although there were only about 20 people who were incapacitated, 8 of them died, and the remaining 70 were only slightly injured even if they were hit, but they did not dare to pursue at full speed as before. Be alert and dodge fast, or you'll have to lie down here at least halfway now.
"Boss, are we still... Still chasing?" A man twisted his face and pulled out a wooden thorn on his arm. It was obviously only made of wood, but the threat was so great that the poison on the thorn made him The whole arm is numb, and I feel better after applying some medicine, but I don't know if it will work all the time. If the toxicity is too strong, I don't know if this arm will be abolished.
The people who led the team also had alarm bells in their hearts. They had not received news before, and their understanding of the Yanjiao people was limited to "powerful" and "arrogant", but they didn't expect to catch up, and they suffered a big loss!
"Take the injured person away first, let's stop chasing." said the leader.
"What if Fire Crystal and Salt Stone are preempted?"
"Then let them grab it first! I want to see if the people from Yanjiao will use some methods to deal with the people behind!"
They suffered this time because they didn't know the Yanjiao people, and they couldn't blindly chase after them. If they fell into the opponent's trap, they would only have one word of death. After all, they are so few people. Instead, it was all cut.
To test and let others test.
