It has to be said that the way Shao Xuan brought this group of people back far exceeded the expectations of Ao and his party. However, at this time, they no longer cared about the way these people came back. They only knew that these people and their own The Horde is one, and the sense of the totem flame allows them to determine this.
When Shao Xuan supported the crack and approached the edge of the cliff, Ao jumped into the sea with him. At this time, they didn't even think about whether there were giant water beasts in the sea.
It was able to separate the sea and resist the flames of the sea, but it did not stop the people of Yanjiao. People who jumped into the sea could directly enter the crack and stand on the stone road. But at this time, Shao Xuan's limit was almost reached.
"I can't support it for a long time, you first bring the people in the team who can't move," said Shao Xuan to Zheng Luo next to him, "Take the people in the team, and go with them, all of them are your own."
Zheng Luo smiled and nodded, "I know, everyone is from Yanjiao." He walked over to the first Ao who came in, "Yanjiao Zhengluo."
"Yan Jiao Ao."
The leaders of the two branches stretched out their arms for a warm hug, and slapped each other on the shoulders, which was also a way of showing friendliness in the tribe.
Ao glanced at the team behind Shao Xuan, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said: "We will bring those who are injured, sick or weak in the team first. Others who have spare strength can follow the ones thrown down. The rope climbed up, and there was someone on it."
Knowing that it was their own, the team on the stone road did not reject or be vigilant. They handed over the wounded with confidence, and then seized the time to climb up the ten ropes tied with animal skins and leather pants that were thrown down.
Even people who are very tired and are about to faint from hunger and thirst will try their best to stay awake at this time. The destination has arrived, and someone will come to pick them up. Don't worry about anything, just climb up.
Shao Xuan must stay at the end. After all, he has to support the crack and let everyone else leave before he can put away the power to separate the sea water and leave. After walking in the sea for so long, not to mention other people, even Shao Xuan is thirsty and hungry, and his mouth is dry and cracked, in addition to supporting the exhaustion of the crack strength.
"Drink some water first." Ao took out his jug, there was still a little water in it, and Shao Xuan drank it all.
After drinking some water, Shao Xuan finally felt better, but the feeling of hunger became more obvious. He planned in his heart that when he went back, he would have a hard meal.
Looking up at the cliff wall, there are people climbing on the rock wall with people on their backs, and there are warriors with rich rock climbing experience who carry one on their backs and one in their hands, and climb up with only one hand and legs. Ten colorful ropes, at first the people above let the people below climb up, but later found that this was too slow, so two of the ropes were connected end to end to form a circle, and then put down, someone above the cliff was pulling, whenever Pull one side up a section, and the other side will drop a section of the same length down.
It's like a conveyor belt that carries goods on one side, and then unloads the goods at the top, and the empty conveyor belt is lowered from the other side, waiting for the next batch of goods to be delivered.
Therefore, the people below can be pulled up as long as they grab the rope with an empty section. If they can't even grab it, they will be tied to it and pulled up.
It was indeed a good idea. Those animal skins and trousers were also wear-resistant and would not break after a few rubs on the rocks. At least they could support and pull all these people up.
Seeing that this method is very efficient, it can also save the effort of those below, and the other ropes are also tied and pulled in the same way.
On the stone road, as the number of people decreased rapidly, the cracks were also shrinking. The smaller the cracks, Shao Xuan could save more effort. After everyone else in the team left along the rope, Shao Xuan put away the strength of the supporting bone ornament and grabbed the rope.
Without the strength to separate the sea water, the sea walls on both sides smashed down as if they had collapsed, gathered together, and the splashed water rushed to Shao Xuan.
Fortunately, the speed of pulling on the rope was fast, and Shao Xuan was not submerged by the sea.
While holding the rope and being pulled up, Shao Xuan looked at the people standing in a row along the edge of the cliff, and a few familiar beast heads. leave the same.
"I am back."
Seeing Shao Xuan, everyone was very excited. Many people wanted to come up and give Shao Xuan a warm hug. Unfortunately, as soon as Shao Xuan came up, the others moved their feet and were pushed aside by Caesar.
When Shao Xuan left the Ferocious Beast Forest and came to the desert, he didn't bring Caesar with him. This guy actually had a lot of resentment in his heart, but when he saw Shao Xuan, he was still very excited.
"Long time no see, old man." Caesar has been with Shao Xuan for the longest time. Shao Xuan watched him grow from an ordinary little wolf cub to what it is today. It is indeed not easy. Think about it, it has been more than ten years. years.
He greeted everyone one by one and inquired about the situation of the injured and sick in the team. Hearing that their conditions had stabilized and that their lives were not in danger for the time being, Shao Xuan was relieved.
"Boss, why are you here?" Shao Xuan asked Xiang Ao.
"Wu asked us to come here, but after coming to the desert, we came across it." Ao pointed to the big beetle next to him, kicking his hind legs excitedly, and explained what happened at that time.
At that time, when they saw Caesar running towards the insect tide, they were really scared and sweating, and thought that Caesar was going to fight the big beetle. They couldn't get it right, but what happened next was beyond their expectations. The worm tide actually gave way and let Caesar pass. Then Caesar followed the big beetle and ran here, and the team naturally followed.
"Good job." Shao Xuan patted the big blue beetle whose back was now more than two meters tall. Like a little bug that could be crushed by one finger back then, by chance, he became the first slave Shao Xuan enslaved. Thinking of what Ji Ju had said, Shao Xuan could clearly feel the thoughts and emotions of this beetle. The more it grows, the stronger the connection becomes.
Sapphire's current back armor is like a metal helmet, very hard, but you can also see the criss-cross marks on this hard shell, some of which are caused by sharp weapons, and some are struck by blunt weapons. This bug Also encountered a lot of things.
I finally brought the team here. It is impossible to go back immediately. It needs to be repaired here. After walking for so long, everyone has not had a good rest, and their energy is low.
Ao Rang the soldiers to give all the fish they caught before to these newly-acquainted brothers, and then they went to sea again to look for opportunities. These days, they have mastered the skills of fishing in the sea, and it is not as difficult as before.
Probably because it is close to the sea, the air is not as dry as in the depths of the desert, and the rain stones condense the water faster. The people who have been supplied with water have gradually calmed down, and the warriors who are in good spirits have chatted with their new acquaintances. Because they are not proficient in language, the language used on both sides of the sea is not understood, although many people have contact with tribal languages. , but still a little unaccustomed to it. At first, it was a bit bumpy, but even with gestures, it can express the general meaning, and the two sides communicated hotly.
Especially when they saw the weapons in the hands of the new brothers, their eyes were straight. Metal weapons are not common here. They still see a lot in the desert. Even the other tribes robbed them from the slave owners. After the nuclear seeds were brought back, the stones were placed there, but they did not know how to smelt them. , has been put on hold.
"This, this..." Tuo and others felt that their worldview was overturned.
It's not surprising that Duokang, who had heard of the situation here, also generously gave Guihe a small copper knife, and the two hunting teams exchanged their heads and shoulders.
Tuo, Liao, Moore and others also chatted with Tao Zheng, Wu Zhan and others of the same age. The former envied the latter being able to use metal weapons, while the latter envied the former being able to possess such a powerful beast, although now Several fierce beasts are stunned, but this state is only temporary, as long as they leave the desert, they can immediately return to blood.
If there is no fire, the people of the tribe simply use stones. During the day, the stones in the desert are roasted very hot, and you can hear the sound of sizzling when the food is put on it. Although it cannot be fully cooked, it is better than eating it completely raw. , Who knows if these fish in the sea will get sick if they are eaten raw
The Sunshine brothers and sisters also brought their own domesticated beasts this time. Every time they went to the sea to find food for the two beasts, Shao Xuan saw Guangguang from Buckwheat's house throwing a big conch in his arms. In the past, the Horror Crane used its mouth as a chisel to easily smash the big conch into pieces.
After looking around for a while, Shao Xuan retracted his gaze again and told Ao about the situation here. After two years of absence, there should be a lot of changes here.
"The forces in the desert have indeed changed a lot. Now there are no three major cities, only the overlord Yanling, and other small cities are vassals. However, now the people of Yanling are cleaning up the remaining scattered forces, and there is no external movement for the time being. Let's come. I didn't meet anyone from Yanling City when I was there," Ao said.
After all, the desert is so big, even if Yanling City is the overlord in the desert, it will not be scattered to every corner of the desert. Most places have only yellow sand, unless a certain residual force is deliberately cleared before sending troops. As for why the people from the tribe didn't meet the people from Yanling, it might be luck, or it might be the beetle. After all, it led the way.
Shao Xuan was well prepared for the ending in the desert, especially after learning about some of the secrets in the past, he also understood that the people with the surname Shi had a great plan, but he didn't know how they were going to take revenge.
"What about the tribe?" Shao Xuan asked again.
"The tribe is okay, everything is going well, the harvest of the fields is good, and the tourists are still safe. As for the other tribes, I don't seem to have heard any big news, but when there was a melee in the desert, I heard a few This tribe sent people to the desert several times, and they should have stolen a lot of things."
"what about others?"
"others?"
"For example, the weather. How was the past winter?" Shao Xuan asked.
"Weather? It's really strange. There used to be snow in the mountains and forests, but this year it didn't snow, it only rained. We asked later, and it didn't snow in other places. It was rare to encounter a warm winter, so we went there. Hunting in the forest several times, haha!"
Speaking of that, Ao laughed, but when he smiled, he found that Shao Xuan and Zheng Luo looked very strange.
