After finalizing the details of the trade with the Shennong, Tu, and Bai tribes, Lin Yuan took Big Tooth and dozens of captured slaves, and slowly left the valley under the protection of the Yan hunters.

As for the part of the wood that Daya commanded the slaves to cut down, Lin Yuan didn't take it away, anyway, the sheikh of the Shennong clan promised that before dawn tomorrow, he would definitely gather enough 200 logs and send them to Huadu by river, Lin Yuan didn't worry much.

The Yan clan didn't have to worry about whether the Shennong clan had missed the appointment, because their chief's son was still in the hands of the Yan clan at this time, to be honest, Lin Yuan really didn't expect that this Ah Fu was actually the son of the chief, after all, it seemed that this Ah Fu didn't have the demeanor of a leader at all, but he was very much like a talent who specialized in research.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan was a little moved, if he could leave a talent like Ah Fu who understands medical skills in the Yan clan, it would naturally be excellent, well, let's take a step at a time.

In addition to the matter of trade just now, they also preliminarily agreed on the issue of territory, because the Yan tribe is a latecomer, it stands to reason that the local tribes here must be very hostile, but the Miao Sui Yan tribe did not actually occupy their territory, but settled in the deserted and dead wilderness, although nominally this wilderness is a medicine gathering ground belonging to the Shennong tribe, but in fact, the power of the Shennong tribe is far from reaching so far, in this wilderness, except for the grass pickers who can be counted with their fingers, The only force is the Yan clan.

Because of this, when the talks were about to end just now, when Lin Yuan made a territorial claim to the Shennong clan, he didn't encounter much resistance, because in the eyes of the other party, this was just a barren and desolate land with scarce prey, and it had no value.

"From today on, the land beyond the mountains is the territory of my Yan clan, and inside the mountains is your original territory, we will not invade you at will, and you must not come to our territory at will!"

This is Lin Yuan's original words, it is conceivable that after he said this, the eyes of the chief of the Shennong clan were about to explode, but the other party had nothing to do with Lin Yuan, because their warriors could not go to the wasteland to fight, and the Tu clan and the Bai clan obviously had no interest in the wilderness, especially after the successful transaction with Lin Yuan, they no longer regarded the Yan clan as a threat, so they would not support the Shennong clan.

So much so that in the end, the Shennong tribe had to make a compromise and recognize the territory of the Yan tribe, but only one article was left, and the Yan tribe had to agree to the grass pickers of the Shennong tribe to enter the wilderness in search of herbs.

Because herbs are the foundation of the Shennong tribe's survival in the valley, if it weren't for their ancestral knowledge of herbs, they would no longer be able to gain an advantage in trading with other tribes.

After thinking about it, Lin Yuan preliminarily agreed to the other party's request, but the number of grass pickers was limited, and the number of people entering the wilderness every day should not exceed 10, and they should not be within 50 steps of the Yan tribe, otherwise they would be killed.

So, the agreement on the territory was reached, and several parties to the agreement were relatively satisfied, especially the Shennong tribe, they had almost nothing to lose, in the heart of the grass skirt chief, they just cut down a few big trees, but in exchange for a pottery sample, if the Shennong tribe can use this sample and also make their own pottery, then, among the many tribes in the valley, the Shennong tribe has undoubtedly gained a huge advantage.

I'm afraid, I'm afraid, this is just wishful thinking of the Shennong people.

……

The last afterglow of the sunset disappeared on the western horizon, Lin Yuan and the Yan clan were advancing along the path towards Huadu, the previous negotiations were a little long, they couldn't get back to Huadu directly after dark, and right now, they were still halfway through.

Time in the wilderness always flies quickly, and after a while, the five fingers around are gone.

The warriors of the Yan tribe lit a few torches, and the sparkling fires illuminated a small team, running quickly across the dark wilderness.

"Big Tooth, you take ten hunters to take the lead! Blade, you take your men, go to the back of the line, and keep an eye on those slaves! Rest of the warriors, be vigilant! It's almost time to Huadu! ”

Lin Yuan said loudly, everyone responded calmly, and Lin Yuan's heart was much more stable.

These warrior hunters are all the elite of the Yan clan, and they were in the valley before, facing enemies several times their size, and they were not afraid at all, and now they should have no problem traveling at night.

But the actual situation was beyond Lin Yuan's expectations.

First the team went the wrong way, made a few big circles, and finally found the way, and then two more slaves accidentally fell into the swamp, a dark swamp, a few torches did not shine at all, and the two slaves were soon swallowed up by the dark wilderness.

A few small accidents made everyone have to cheer up their spirits, if the wilderness during the day is a crazy wild man, then the wilderness at night is a terrible and terrifying hell.

"Look! King Yan! There, there is fire, it should be Huadu! We'll be at camp soon! ”

Big Tooth happily pointed to the stars in the distance and said.

Lin Yuan squinted his eyes and looked over, and in the distance, there seemed to be dots of stars, but he couldn't see it very clearly, and after a while, he couldn't see anything anymore.

"Yi ...... Why is it gone? Big Tooth said strangely.

An uneasy premonition rose from behind Lin Yuan.

"Everyone, be careful! That's not the camp's torch......"

Lin Yuan roared, and then a hunter standing in front of the team screamed, everyone followed his cry, and in front of the team there was a fire floating in the air again, this time, Lin Yuan saw clearly, those fires were light blue, not orange yellow.

The light of the fire flickered back and forth, looming, and seemed to be getting closer.

"Everyone! Take up arms now! Get ready for battle! The wolves are coming!! “

Lin Yuan shouted, and he could see that those were not torches at all, but the eyes of the wild wolves, those pale blue eyes, which he would never forget in his life.

Damn, we've run into wolves again!

Lin Yuan scolded in his heart.

The last time they encountered the wolves, they relied on the advantage of hilly terrain, plus the concerted efforts of more than 3,000 primitives, and the help of powerful archers such as Hou Yi, to barely drive away the wolves.

And at the moment, they only have less than a hundred people, a small team, surrounded by wilderness, there is no high ground and no place to hide, if they meet the small wolf pack, it is fine, once they meet the large pack of wolves last time, it is estimated that it will be more than lucky.

Lin Yuan made a rough estimate in his heart, and it seemed that there should only be a dozen wild wolves in the eyes on the other side, maybe they could fight.

"Big Tooth, Blade, let everyone stand together, everyone stand closer, and light all the torches! Let's go, let's move forward slowly! ”

Lin Yuan ordered, and all the people formed a circle according to Lin Yuan's instructions and slowly advanced forward.

"Oh...... Oh my God...... Look! ”

Someone pointed to the left and shouted, Lin Yuan looked at it, it turned out that there were not only eyes in front of him, but also a blue eye on the left.

"Ah......hh It's also available here! ”

"Back! Behind!! ”

Someone kept exclaiming, Lin Yuan raised his eyes and looked around, and suddenly directly, he found that countless blue eyes were open around the team, and there were hundreds and thousands of them......

It's over, it's a big pack of wolves again, and it's ...... It seems that this time there are more wolves than the last time I encountered them......

Are they here to avenge the Wolf King?

Lin Yuan's heart tightened, not good, there are so many wild wolves, they are not opponents at all, normal fighting alone, two hunters can barely fight with a wild wolf, but now there are thousands of wild wolves here, and they only have less than a hundred people, no matter what, it is a dead end.

"Don't be discouraged, everyone! Hold on and don't be left behind! Go forward, don't look back, go forward!! “

Lin Yuan shouted loudly while urging the team forward.

The surrounding wolves seemed to be getting closer, and Lin Yuan could even ask about the smell of blood on the wild wolves, it seemed that this group of wolves had just experienced an unusually bloody slaughter......

What animal did they just kill? ……

A thought came to mind from Lin Yuan's mind, but it was only for a moment, and he suddenly heard a scream from the back of the team, followed by the sound of bones breaking, and the sound of wailing farther and farther away.

A slave who has been straddled is taken away by a wolf in the night.

"Stop! Stop! Stop in place! Form a circle and raise the torches! ”

Lin Yuan shouted loudly, he couldn't move forward, as long as the team moved, it would be difficult to protect the people who had fallen behind, the wild wolves were all very smart hunters, they must have specially attracted the attention of hunters in front, and there were also those who secretly lurked near the team, ready to attack the lone person at any time.

"King Yan! Let's go fight them! ”

Big Tooth took a bow and arrow, rushed over and said to Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan said angrily:

"Don't talk nonsense, prepare me for defense, listen to me!"

Big Tooth pursed his lips and honestly lowered his head and stood beside Lin Yuan.

According to Lin Yuan's request, all the people surrounded the city in a circle, and it was the same as the last time, the slaves held torches around the perimeter, and the hunters held bows and arrows and stone spears, ready to fight back at any time.

The team just froze, waiting for the wolves to attack.

But strangely, the wolves did not attack for a long time, but only circled around the crowd, circle after circle......

"What do these brutes want to do?"

Big Tooth couldn't help but chatter, he couldn't wait to rush out immediately and kill the wolf to the death.

Lin Yuan ignored him and turned around and called for Blade, who was the chief hunter of the tribe before, Lin Yuan felt that he should be very knowledgeable about the behavior of beasts.

"Blade, why don't these wolves attack? Do you know? ”

Blade frowned, he thought for a moment and said:

"These ghosts...... Oh, wolf, I haven't seen it before, and I don't quite understand it...... But ......"

"But what?" Lin Yuan urged.

"But...... I know that many animals have this habit, such as wild boar herds or wild deer herds, they surround and do not attack, probably not to attack something, but to achieve something......"

"For what purpose?"

"Maybe it's a spouse...... Prey, perhaps...... Maybe...... Anyway, it's all about the attraction of a certain smell......"

Lin Yuan's heart froze, ...... smell?

He suddenly remembered something, and he took out the heart of the wolf king hanging on his chest, and shouted:

"Avo! Where's Avo? ”
