Thirty-two tribesmen, plus the inexperience of going out for the first time because of the distance, and the three tribes who failed to catch up with the party, a total of thirty-five tribesmen, along with the hunting of the flaming horns The team entered the forest together.
The three late arrivals arrived at the trading area after the party. They did not go back immediately, but waited for the hunting in the trading area, intending to go back after the hunting, because their tribes were too far away. Even talking about this time, two of the tribes said that if they can successfully integrate the fire, they may move upstream.
In the past, I settled in a place without people, far away from other tribes, for the sake of safety. Now I plan to move to more and denser places of the tribe, and it is also for safety. The situation is different and the practice is different.
Of course, not all the tribes that came to join the hunt. The tribes that are not good at fighting and have no great advantages, just launched a few people, some even only one or two. Compared with the Leishan tribe, the water tribe For those of the Tiger Tribe, it's simply not enough. But after all, the styles of tribes are different. Some people don’t make a living by hunting, and they have no experience in this area.
Even the weakest of the tribes would send one or two people out to hunt with the team, some of whom were leaders and some were excellent warriors in that tribe.
For example, the Yan tribe, they are absolutely unwilling to face the beasts. In the past, they would not have the courage to run to the forests of the beasts, but now, so many tribes have joined the big alliance, and there are so many people with the team. When they go out to hunt, they do not join the team individually, and they will definitely be ridiculed by other tribesmen. Therefore, as the leader, Abuli, who thinks that he is the first in all implementation, brings two tribal warriors to join the team. The three of them, They are the three largest people in the Yan tribe today, and they are also the fastest runners. If they encounter any danger, they can escape even if they can't beat them.
In the minds of most tribal people, force is everything, so those tribes who are good at fighting seem more arrogant and confident. Those tribal people who don't like to solve things by force and are not good at fighting, choose to use the technology they have at hand to exchange for survival resources. Those who did not join the hunt would stay in the trading area and wait, and while waiting for the hunting team, they would adapt to all things in the trading area, and some of them would also participate in the project of expanding the trading area in Yanjiao.
Before setting off, Shao Xuan called the leaders of the tribes or the hunting party together to talk, and told them what to pay attention to in the forest. Inexperienced tribes should observe those experienced Taihe tribesmen or flaming horn warriors, and don't use the skills to deal with beasts by yourself.
The hunting route that Yanjiao finally chose was not any of the six routes they hunted in the past, but the seventh newly opened route. The number of beasts on this route was less than the other six. Because there is a lot of land that is not suitable for plant growth, naturally the number of beasts is also small.
If it was Yanjiao himself, this route would be distasteful, but it was very suitable for the people of these tribes. If there were too many beasts, once there was chaos, no matter how many people of Yanjiao, it would not be easy to save them.
There were about 300 people in the other tribes who followed the hunt. Like the Leishan tribe and the Yan tribe, there were nearly 50 people each, but most tribes were much smaller, not to mention the Yan tribe. The total population of the tribe itself is not large, and they are not good at fighting and hunting. The people who join the team can be counted with a slap.
Fortunately, when the water system was divided, the Leishan tribe, the Yong tribe and the Shuihu tribe were divided into three different water systems. When hunting, the water system was used as a detachment. The teams of the three tribes did not conflict for the time being. Excited to compete.
After crossing the Yanhe Bridge and walking deep into the mountains and forests, you will find that the surrounding trees are getting taller and the grasses are getting deeper and deeper, and even the grasses in many places can directly drown people.
The roots of the trees protruding from the ground are thicker than the strongest among them, not to mention this mountain forest full of ancient trees, the team of nearly 500 people in the mountain forest is just like ants.
The fog that surrounds the mountains seems to have a quiet murderous aura, as if there is something dangerous hidden in it, looking down at the crowd silently.
Small!
This is the first time anyone who has entered this mountain forest in his life has the first profound feeling. They seemed to understand why Yanjiao took them here for a visit, and they didn't know how small they were if they didn't.
The people of the Yanjiao tribe chose hunting as their first major alliance group activity. The primary purpose was to break the temperament of some tribesmen, especially those tribes who were usually arrogant. The owners of this forest are not them. The beasts that are usually hunted, but the beasts that are far more dangerous than beasts.
Thousands of years ago, their ancestors may have come into contact with beasts, but the younger generation now has no experience in dealing with beasts because they have been isolated by the great river for nearly a thousand years.
If these tribes are a knife, before this, these knives were rusty or uncut dull knives, and after hunting in the mountains and forests, these knives will be much sharper. In order to allow more people in the tribe to be taken away by the slave owners, the people of those tribes will also sharpen themselves.
There was a roar of a beast in the distance, which sounded a little excited. The flaming horns who often hunted could hear it. It was the excited roar of the fierce beast after successfully expelling the invaders. There must have been a fierce battle before this.
"Ow oow-"
A roar came from the ranks.
The sub-tribe people who were staring nervously around, were so frightened by the sudden roar that they started digging the ground. Abuli took a few steps forward, and realized that the roar was coming from the team.
Everyone looked over and saw the leader of the Shuihu tribe, Qu Lizheng, raised his head and roared, pulling his throat, and the tendons on his neck were all bulging.
The other Shuihu tribesmen behind Qu Li were also about to speak.
"Shut up!" Shao Xuan whispered.
Hearing that, Quli stopped screaming, and found that the people in front of Yanjiao were looking at him with a very speechless look.
"Sorry, I couldn't hold back." At this time, Ou Li also realized that his behavior was inappropriate, but when he heard the beast roar in the distance just now, he suddenly felt an epiphany, and the blood all over his body seemed to be gurgling. Like a bubble, excited but unable to describe in words, so he could only roar.
The people of the water tiger tribe like to roar when they are emotional, whether it is anger, sadness, or excitement, it will be the same. This is a habit for thousands of years. This habit is passed on. This is also the reason why Qu Li couldn't help it just now.
However, at this time, this behavior of Qu Li was killing him. In the mountains and forests, some beasts will use such roars to declare the sovereignty of this territory and warn outsiders. In addition, roars sometimes mean provocation.
An idiot!
Many people cursed in their hearts. If it weren't for the inconvenience of speaking loudly here, they would definitely scold them on the spot, or even rush over to beat Qu Li.
"In this forest, sometimes, roaring out will kill you faster." Shao Xuan said. Roaring in the forest also requires techniques and skills. When to roar and when not to make a sound, it all depends on the specific situation. And the time just now was obviously not the right time to shout.
Going forward, there is no need for the Yanjiao people to warn them. They have all been silent, and their whole body seems to have raised the highest alarm. Even the people of the Water Tiger tribe have their mouths closed.
Everyone who followed, even if they were not considered top fighters in their tribe, was definitely outstanding, and their intuition was relatively sharp. There are threats all around, and although ancient trees and grasses taller than people largely block their sight, many people can intuitively sense things that their eyes cannot see.
Surrounded by a piece of grass that is taller than people, there is something hidden in the grass, and there are many murderous eyes staring at them from all sides.
Seeing the nervousness of everyone in the team, Shao Xuan said, "Don't worry, those are shadow sparrows, they are very cunning. The stronger and calmer you are, the less likely they will attack you. But if you shrink back, they will You will be listed as a target for temptation."
As soon as the voice fell, there was the sound of wings flapping a hundred meters in front. Looking up, a bird with gray and green patterns nearly half a person's height flew up.
Caesar, who was following Shao Xuan, bared his fangs and let out a low growl in his throat.
Shao Xuan stopped, raised his hand and made a gesture.
The eight flaming horn warriors dived forward with the weapons in their hands.
"Out... what happened?" Abuli asked.
Without waiting for Shao Xuan to explain, a beast roar sounded in front, deafening.
The thorns jumped up to the nearest tree and looked forward, without the shade of the grass. Although there were trees that affected the line of sight, they could still see what was happening over there.
Several other people in the team also climbed the tree like Thorn and looked over there.
It was a huge beast, standing on the ground just about four times higher than them, with dark brown and thick fur.
A tree with a thickness of ten people was tyrannically smashed, and two strong hind legs stepped on the ground, pushed the huge body up, and rushed towards a place. In addition to the fierce beast, Thorn Du also saw a few jumping figures, that is, the eight flaming horns who passed by just now.
Even if they were far away, everyone in the team could clearly feel the trembling on the ground, which was the movement caused by the fierce beast stepping on the ground with its powerful hind legs. And it is self-evident how much the vibration can be felt when facing the flaming horn of the fierce beast at close range.
Cidu, Quli, and the leaders of several tribes, including the leader of the Leishan tribe, Nizhai, all stared at the other side without blinking. That beast's attack doesn't have too many fancy things, it's simple, direct, and effective, making full use of its own advantages to create a more lethal attack.
The arm with the sharp claws waved again and again, and there was a whizzing sound in the air, as if a sharp cold knife was waving.
Not only is it powerful, but it is also powerful in lethality. Everyone who saw that scene has no doubt that that claw can directly cut people into several pieces. In the face of such a ferocious attack, even the flaming horns, who were considered strong in the tribe, seemed weak at this time.
boom!
There was another series of banging sounds, and the sound of trees being smashed and tree trunks broken, as if thunder and lightning exploded, countless wood chips flew up, and shredded grass clippings. It was difficult to see the specific situation over there for a while, and the only thing that was clear was the trembling of the ground that became more and more violent one after another, and the thunderous sound of tree trunks breaking.
For those tribes who don't make a living by hunting, they gasped when they saw this scene. For them, against such a beast, they don't want to live, it's not that their strength is too poor, but they have no experience at all. All terrified.
Even flaming horns with strength and physique advantages cannot gain the upper hand in the face of this level of beasts. They mostly rely on cooperation and hunting skills to kill the beasts little by little.
This is the case for the people of Yanjiao, so, people from other tribes that are not as strong as Yanjiao must be more cautious. And this behavior of Yanjiao also tells people from other tribes: Don't be arrogant, don't pretend Forced to be killed.
The Yanjiao people who did not join the battlefield over there, shared some knowledge with the other tribes who came to the mountains for the first time in the team, and warned them not to confront those beasts alone. Such beasts must not be forceful, flee if they can, and outsmart if they can't. Try to give yourself some chances to survive.
"You can't face it alone from the Yanjiao tribe?" Thorn, the leader of the Yan tribe, suddenly asked.
"Who said that?! The leader, Elder Zhengluo, Elder Ao, the leader of Ta and the leader of Dokang have all had the experience of facing such beasts alone, but not everyone has the strength to fight against such beasts. of."
Some people in the team disagreed with the words of the flaming horn warrior. Since the flaming horns can fight against such beasts alone, why can't the leader of their tribe
"Leaders, elders, big bosses... Hey, you big elders can't do it?" Thorn asked.
The flaming horn warrior who explained to them felt that the thorn asked a nonsense, "Our elder is still facing the king beast alone, do you think he can?"
There was a bit of solemnity on Zidu's face, but at the same time there was a little coquettish joy. Sure enough, the people of Yanjiao are not as strong as Shao Xuan. In fact, the gap between their Yanjiao and Yanjiao is not too big. can catch up.
Shao Xuan didn't know what the others were thinking, but he was just paying attention to the battle situation over there. Even if he couldn't see it, he could still sense the life breath of the eight flaming horns.
"Ow—"
A shrill beast roar sounded.
The thorns on the tree were sharp-eyed to find the beast that was four or five times taller than them. From the beginning, it was full of murderous light, and now it started to panic and fear, and wanted to escape. It was injured by the flaming horns, but the flaming horns did not give it a chance to escape.
When all the movement calmed down, it didn't take long before a few flaming horns from the past dragged a beast that had lost its breath.
The people in the team immediately moved over to take a closer look at the fierce beast.
"Don't look, you will see more if you go further." Mai said to those who wanted to squeeze in to see the beast.
"Find a place to eat first." Shao Xuan said.
It was almost at the place they had chosen. Going forward, the grass was not so deep, and the woods were not so dense.
Before reaching the target hunting point, the people from the Flaming Horn also fully demonstrated the hunting method to those who entered the forest for the first time. Of course, different tribes behave differently, and the Flaming Horn only demonstrated it a few times symbolically. How to do it? Come, people of each tribe have to find out their own methods and means.
Bigger beasts, people of various tribes can indeed learn a lot from Yanjiao, but smaller beasts, they can't learn Yanjiao's style.
Smaller beasts are also much bigger than humans. People with flaming horns can beat those beasts on the ground like a salted fish. After a few falls, they turn over and change their posture before falling. They originally had thick grass. The ground was destroyed in a mess, grass clippings splashed, and rocks and soil scattered. It won't work on other people, they simply can't lift those beasts easily.
"In this mountain forest, the grass grows very fast, and now you can see that there is almost a layer of turf uncovered there, but after ten days, when you return, you will find that there is a layer of green again. "Shao Xuan pointed to the battlefield where the battle had ended and said to the others.
After finally arriving at the selected hunting area, the hunting team was divided into three groups. The tribesmen of each water system formed a branch team, and the people of Yanjiao also followed in the three teams.
However, what made Shao Xuan vigilant was that he found traces of other human activities in this hunting area.
"Let everyone be careful, whether those people's purpose is us or not, it's always good to be on guard."
