Chapter 25: Bad News

Due to the distance and the dim light at night, the two could only see a rough idea, and the two discussed it for a while and decided to get closer to observe.

The two of them lay on the ground, crawling forward, because there was no clothing to protect them, this position was very uncomfortable for them, and after a while, the forearms and thighs were grinding hot and painful, but if they didn't do so close, they accidentally made a noise, and it was very likely to be discovered.

The two gritted their teeth and endured the physical discomfort, sneaked to a place more than a hundred meters away from each other and stopped.

This and distance are already dangerous, and if they are discovered, it will be difficult to escape.

The two of them lay motionless on the ground, and they didn't dare to come out.

By the light of the fire, Strongtooth saw what ritual the tribe was doing, a man covered in paint and feathered in his hair, holding a bone stick and dancing strangely around the fire.

Jianya guessed that it might be a wizard from their tribe, although there were no wizards in his own tribe, but the other tribes that Jianya had encountered before had wizards, so he was no stranger to these.

And Jianya heard the old patriarch talk about wizards, these people are said to be people who can communicate with the gods, and they are the most intelligent in the tribe, Wang Lang is actually equivalent to the existence of wizards in everyone's hearts, Jianya is very respectful of this kind of people, but the next scene completely made Jianya dumbfounded.

The wizard had finished a sacrificial dance and said something out loud in a language that his teeth couldn't understand.

Soon there was a terrible cry, and the three men with their limbs bound were lifted out by men with sticks like pigs and thrown at the wizard's feet.

The three people who were caught were terrified at the moment, their bodies trembling like chaff, and they kept crying and begging.

The sorcerer ignored the men's pleas, for in his eyes the only use of these men was to sacrifice their souls to the gods, and their bodies could be used as food for their people.

The wizard grabbed a man by the hair and lifted his head up, and the man, knowing that his time of death was near, began to struggle violently.

But it was all in vain, a sharp stone knife slashed through his neck, blood gushed out instantly, and after a moment due to excessive blood loss, the man's body began to spasm, and after a few convulsions, he was silent.

The other two saw their companion die in front of their eyes, and the fear of death frightened them so much that they struggled violently, but they were soon beaten and died.

The sorcerer turned the slain man over and laid him flat on the ground, cut the straw rope that bound his limbs with a stone knife, took the stone axe handed by the man next to him, cut the man's chest, dug out the heart, and then cut off the man's genitals and threw him into the fire.

The burning flame was thrown into a foreign object, and a flame burst into flames.

The sorcerer reverently prostrate himself on the ground, with words in his mouth and a very excited expression, stood up, raised his hands high to the sky, and shouted "Yakura".

Strongtooth and Fire didn't know what "Yakura" meant, but when they heard the rest of the tribe chanting the word in high spirits, Strongtooth guessed that maybe it was the name of their god.

Soon the two people lying on the ground also experienced the fate of their former companions, and after the execution of these three people, there was a cheer from the crowd, and the three disemboweled corpses were quickly looted and dismantled.

They are not afraid of death, but if they die in this way, the fear in their hearts will involuntarily occupy their whole bodies.

Soon something happened that sank the hearts of the two men, and several men carried out a wild boar, one of whom had a large net in his hand, and the wizard took the net and looked at it, then lifted it up, and said a lot of words to the crowd, and then there was a noise in the crowd.

Seeing that their prey was hidden and they had discovered it, and the presence of the net, those people would soon realize that there were other tribes in the vicinity, which was definitely a terrible thing for their own tribe.

Jianya patted the fire and whispered, "We must hurry back, it will be bad if these people find us." ”

Huo also knew the seriousness of the matter, and without saying anything, the two of them quietly moved away from here, ignoring the danger of the jungle at night, and hurried back.

After a night of long-distance travel, the two of them rushed back to the tribe in the early morning of the next day, ignoring the rest of the tribesmen, and hurriedly found Wang Lang.

When Wang Lang saw that the eyes of the two were red and bloodshot, he had an extremely bad feeling in his heart, and being able to let them rush back overnight regardless of the danger showed that what happened must be very bad.

Wang Lang took a deep breath, tried not to panic, and said in a deep voice: "You two come with me." ”

Jianya and Huo followed Wang Lang to the cave, Wang Lang filled them with a bowl of water, and said, "Drink some water first, and speak slowly." ”

The two took the bowl, drank it all, wiped their mouths with their arms, and said, "Lang, we're in trouble." ”

Wang Lang secretly said that it was really not a good thing, and sighed lightly and said, "What happened?" ”

Tooth and Fire looked at each other, and finally Fire spoke: "Yesterday we followed and found the tribe of those people, they are different from me, I have never seen such a tribe before, they killed those who were caught and sacrificed to their gods, and those who died were cut into pieces by them without mercy. Thinking of the terrible scene last night, the fire couldn't help but shudder.

Fire calmed down for a moment and continued: "They found our hidden prey and nets. ”

"What!" Wang Lang exclaimed.

The clansmen who were watching from a distance, although they couldn't hear what they were saying, couldn't help but whisper when they saw Wang Lang so out of shape, and the atmosphere of panic spread in the tribe.

Wang Lang walked back and forth with rapid breathing, he didn't expect the matter to be so serious, after the initial panic, Wang Lang gradually calmed down and asked, "How many people are there?" ”

"A lot, although some of them are not real at night, but there are more people than four or five in our tribe." Huo said with some concern.

When Wang Lang heard this number, his head buzzed, and he muttered: "There are so many four or five, that's sixty or seventy people, what should I do, what should I do." ”

"Lang, what's wrong with you?" Fire couldn't help but ask.

Wang Lang didn't answer Huo's words, he kept rubbing his temples and kept thinking about the countermeasures.

Now the tribe counts itself as seven warriors, and even if you add up the women and children, there are only a dozen people, and with such a small number, even if the weapons are more advanced than theirs, it will not help.

The death of a member on his side will be a very heavy blow to the tribe, the first idea in Wang Lang's mind is to build fortifications along the wall, but this idea was quickly denied by Wang Lang, not to mention whether there is so much time to arrange, even if there is enough time, Wang Lang does not plan to do this, if the enemy attacks them, even if they can use the bow and arrow to kill them at the beginning, but the enemy is not stupid, he will not see casualties and rush up stupidly, Although Wang Lang didn't know if they could come up with a way to besiege them, Wang Lang didn't dare to take a risk, the difference in numbers was too great, the tribe was not ready for any war at present, and the sudden change completely disrupted Wang Lang's previous plan.
