Near the busiest time of the harvest, Shao Xuan did not go to the Yanhe trading area, but stayed in the Yanjiao headquarters, where he ate and slept every day and also cultivated the land.
For those snoopers in the sky, Shao Xuan knows that Yanjiao has never relaxed the monitoring of the air, but for Yanjiao, the air power is still too weak, and now the two can only monitor the air. Birds, one is the snow falcon returning to the cave, and the other is Chacha. Because the leader bat stayed nearby, Chacha was not in the headquarters, but went to the trading area, and on the headquarters side, the snow falcons mainly stayed in the core. The area is the mountain where everyone lives.
In the Yanjiao headquarters, in addition to those two, there are also the group of green ducks that can fly, let alone whether they will be obedient to fight, just their fighting power... They have been raised by the insects in the farmland and become fat, completely There is no weakness like when they migrated over, and their movements are not very flexible.
There are not as many giant eagles on mountain peaks as the Hui tribe, and there are not as many domesticated birds as the Yu tribe. Of course, it is impossible to let the birds attack when they see a suspicious person.
Shao Xuan asked the people on the sentry tower to monitor those people with binoculars. If those people had any changes and flew directly towards Yanjiao, they would shoot them with a bow.
If you have a clear and upright goal, you can go directly to the Yanhe Bridge if you want to come to the Yanjiao headquarters, and fly in like this. At first glance, you are not a good person.
In the Yanjiao tribe, there is a tense mood everywhere, and there is absolutely no joy in the expected harvest.
"How is it?" Shao Xuan asked, looking at Ao, who was sweating profusely.
"It's almost all arranged. The tourists have warned them to stay at home for the past two days and not to come out. They will not come here to take care of the field Qiqi. All the farmland is under martial law." Ao put the water bottle hanging on his waist. I took it out, took a few sips of water, and worked all morning, my throat was almost smoking.
As the maturity of the Thousand Grains of Gold approached, the Yanjiao tribesmen, who had originally set their main target on this farmland, suddenly discovered that the crops in the other surrounding fields also tended to mature in the past two days.
Those are all crop seeds brought back from the sea, and they are also planted for the first time. They don't know if there will be other changes if they are not harvested in time, because some crops have an optimal harvest time, and after that time , the quality of the fruit will be seriously reduced.
The manpower in Yanjiao is still not enough. There is a need for people in the trading area, and there is also a need for people here. Especially when the peak harvest season is coming, it will be even busier.
But this year is a special situation, they dare not let those young warriors who are not strong come to the farmland here, but arrange for them to be on the edge of the farmland.
They found another 200 people from the Enriched Tribe to help with the harvest. Although the people of the Zan tribe look fierce, their character is still trustworthy, and they will not take the opportunity to steal when they are busy.
Many people in the Zan tribe have nothing to do during the day. Since Yanjiao needs manpower and is paid, of course they are happy. However, Shao Xuan also told them in advance that there will be certain risks when harvesting, and there may be some difficulties and crises. You need to be prepared and don't panic.
The people of the Empress Tribe are not afraid of crises. They used to encounter crises every year when they harvested the water moon stones. Therefore, the people headed by Fanmu, the leader of the Empress Tribe, didn't care. They felt that they could deal with anything that happened. .
Of course, Flaming Horn's main target is still the arable land of the Thousand Grains of Gold, and that's what they value the most.
"Is it coming?" Ao asked Shao Xuan in a low voice. The matter of the leader of the bat was not made public, and Ao also privately informed the guards of the Thousand Grains Gold Farming Field, and those who could be sent to guard the Thousand Grain Gold Fields could be trusted and would not talk much.
Shao Xuan understood who Ao was referring to by "it", "It's here, it's already within the flame angle, it's in the mountains over there." Shao Xuan raised his finger and pointed.
Ao looked over there. There was a stone mountain that the soldiers used to train in the past. There were no plants. It looked bare, but there were also some stone caves formed by natural erosion. The leader bat should be in the stone cave on the mountain over there. Now the soldiers have a lot of tasks every day, and they don’t have much time to go to the mountains to practice rocking. The smell of human beings has long since dissipated. Sometimes, some flying birds can be seen running to build their nests. Now, the leader bat is also on the mountain over there.
As the maturity of the Thousand Grains of Gold approached, the leader bat did not run far, and stayed on the mountain, and would go around the ground on time every night.
"No wonder I heard from the patrollers that there are fewer stone flying squirrels over there. It turns out that it is because of it." Ao sighed. The leader bat actually came.
Not only those stone flying squirrels, but there are also fewer beasts in the area of Yanjiao headquarters. Although there are definitely not many wild beasts in the area where people live, after all, the area of Yanjiao is large and includes several mountains. On the hills where tourists live, there are some There are flying squirrels or other small beasts, stealing things from time to time, and wrestling with the tourists. But those have appeared less recently.
Even if they are not natural enemies, the pressure of high-level beasts will still affect them. Even the few beasts engraved in the tribe are only on the mountain where they live, not near the farmland.
Tourists were told to stay at home for two days, wondering if Yanjiao was guarding them and preventing them from stealing millet. But soon, they discovered that not only the tourists who depended on Yanjiao's life, but even those of the Yanjiao tribe who took care of the farmland every day were taken away. Except for the murderous Yanjiao warriors, no matter how difficult it was meet other people.
"I saw Yanjiao's patrol passing by just now. Those people's faces were serious, as if they were preparing to go to the battlefield." already."
"Isn't it for the millet in the field?" An old man wondered.
"Definitely not, which tribe can put on such a face when harvesting millet? Each one is like a stone." The young man said.
Thinking about it, those people in Yanjiao have been too serious recently, and they have not even laughed.
"Could it be that the king beast is here?!" The woman sitting inside the tanned hide was so frightened that her hands trembled.
"No... no... right?" Everyone was at a loss now.
After all, this place is similar to the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest, and even more dangerous than the Fierce Beast Mountain Forest. At least in the Fierce Beast Mountain Forest, they never encountered a king beast. Moreover, if there is one such thing as a king beast, you can't have another one
"It shouldn't be. If it is, the people of Yanjiao will definitely let the children in the tribe hide first. But as far as I know, the people of Yanjiao did not do this. They just put the farmland under martial law." He tapped his fingers for the prudent middle-aged man and said.
As he was talking, he suddenly heard footsteps outside. The people in the cave fell silent for a moment.
"Second head, what's the matter in such a hurry?" The middle-aged man who looked stable hurriedly got up to meet him.
The visitor is He Er, who has a good relationship with Jiao Wu and others from Yanjiao. After the tourists settled here, they assigned three people to be in charge. He Er's position also happened to be second, and now everyone calls him "the second head." Son".
He Er didn't talk nonsense, there was no hint of laughter on his face, and he warned: "The news we just got, let us listen to the movement at Yanjiao. close."
The middle-aged man handed a bowl of warm broth to He Er, and asked in a low voice, "Er, what happened? We are not at ease. You know, the matter of the king beast just passed..."
He Er was not hypocritical, took the pottery bowl and drank it, and went door to door to inform him that he was also tired. After drinking, his complexion softened a bit, and after thinking about it, he said, "I don't know what happened, but it's definitely not a king beast. As for the notification just mentioned, it was from Shao Xuan, the elder of Yanjiao."
Hearing what Shao Xuan meant, the expressions of the people in the cave all changed. Who is Shao Xuan? The only great elder of Yanjiao, whose status is higher than that of the leader of Yanjiao and Wu, the founder of the Yanhe trading area, and even the Yanhe Bridge was created by him "driving" the king beast. Can his words be false
The people who were still complaining at this time have no thoughts at all. Anyway, just do what they said. The words of the first elder must be right.
"By the way, the windows will be sealed when the time comes, just leave some small holes for ventilation. Don't open the door unless you hear anything, unless you hear the whistle again." He Er warned again before leaving.
"Hey, okay!" The middle-aged man hurriedly responded.
After He Er left, he continued to the next house to inform him that there were many holes dug in the mountain and many tourists lived there, so he had to hurry up and finish the notice.
The people in the cave, although they still didn't understand what happened, still prepared according to the notification they received.
Preparations are being made everywhere on the mountain where the Yanjiao people live. Lao Ke also set up a lot of traps in front of the house, "I heard that there will be a lot of birds, so let them come and go!"
Caesar was helping, but from time to time he would still look in the direction of the leader bat with vigilance in his eyes.
Soon, another two days passed.
Early in the morning, Shao Xuan informed Ao and the others, "Get ready, Thousand Grains of Gold will mature today. It's about noon."
Immediately, the atmosphere in the Yanjiao tribe became more dignified.
Shao Xuan was standing next to the Thousand Grains of Gold, looking at the thousand grains of gold that had turned golden. This time the thousand grains of gold plants were taller than when they were on the other side of the sea, and there were many ears of grain on each tree. The spike swayed slightly in the wind, glowing with a golden sheen.
A wooden stick standing on the ground, the shadow is getting shorter and shorter.
In the distance, some birds have already flown over from the mountains.
As the maturity of the thousand grains of gold approached, there were fewer insects, because many of their natural enemies came. Some birds are omnivores, eating grains and insects, and they certainly don't have anything to do with those flying insects when they come here.
If there are only three or two birds, then there is no need to panic, but what if there is a large group
Shao Xuan blew his whistle, and two rapid whistles spread.
Those who hear the signal react instantly.
Tourists who were told to stay in the house quietly heard the sound of flapping their wings outside. Some people looked out curiously from the closed wooden door, and a large and small bird was resting on their door. Besides, listen to the sound and there is more around this.
Some people wanted to go out and grab one, but after hearing the whistle, they quickly blocked the door and closed the cut out windows. Looking out from the gaps, more and more birds were landing. There are birds fighting outside.
High in the sky, Wu He and other seven people also looked down from the back of the long-winged bird.
"What happened?"
"how so?"
"Good... a lot!"
Because of flying high, they can see a wider field of vision.
In the field of vision, from the mountains and forests, flocks of birds are coming towards Yanjiao. To be precise, they are heading towards the arable land of Yanjiao. Perhaps the target is the golden field that Yanjiao is strictly guarded against!
The long-winged birds they enslave are purely meat-eating, not vegetarian at all, and never eat grains, so they are not very interested in the things in the Flaming Horn Field, and they may also notice that the crops in the Flaming Horn Field are special. But it's not as crazy as those birds that fly here one after another.
"Excellent, it must be a superb!" One person said excitedly, his eyes burning hot.
"I heard that Yanjiao people once haunted the Jingu Grange outside the king's city, and the Jingu Jiju gave them some gifts." Wuhe said.
Wuhe had deliberately inquired and learned something that surprised him, otherwise he would not have set his first target after crossing the sea to Yanjiao.
Hearing this, the gazes from the other people's eyes became more and more hot.
"Could it be that in the field below, the seeds obtained from Jingujiju were planted?"
"Maybe, it's the good things that those secretly planted in Jingu Grange?"
"Okay! It's worth it for us to come!"
The seven people in Changle couldn't help rubbing their hands, wishing they would go over and sweep away immediately.
What is the Golden Valley Grange? That is the famous Jiju land. The grains produced are related to the entire royal city nobility. The guards are carefully selected, not comparable to those ordinary guards in the royal city. Among the farms outside Wangcheng, the most difficult to enter is the Golden Valley Farm. If you break in or sneak in, you may not be able to get out. You won't even have a complete corpse, and all of them will be made into fertilizer.
But Yanjiao is different here, it is definitely not as tightly guarded as Jingu Grange.
Chance!
"Hahaha, I didn't expect such a harvest this time!"
"Have you seen those flocks of birds?" Wuhe pointed to the birds that were approaching the Yanjiao tribe, and said to others, "Let's take advantage of the fact that those birds are causing trouble for Yanjiao!"
"Do you want to tell me that?"
With those flocks of birds around, they can also reduce their sense of existence and take advantage of the gap to fish more.
However, unlike the excitement of the Changle people, all the seven long-winged birds were nervous, and even looked at the flock of birds flying to the flaming horns with pity in their eyes.
A thousand grains of gold ploughed land, Shao Xuan stared at the golden land in front of him wholeheartedly. In every direction of the ploughed land, there were soldiers with sickles and other harvesting tools, waiting for Shao Xuan to give an order to start.
