Chapter 19 Running on a Rainy Night

Lin Yuan rushed out with an arrow step, followed by the hunters of the Yan Clan.

On a rainy night, the heavy rain obscured the dark sky, and under the light of the fire in the cave, two dark figures could be faintly seen standing near the prisoner's fence not far away, one of whom seemed to be carrying something in his hand.

"Brother Lin Yuan!"

The black shadow who was being carried shouted loudly, it was Qiao Jing!

Lin Yuan stepped forward a few steps before he saw clearly, it turned out to be the bone slave and Xiang who were taken prisoner, and the two of them didn't know how to escape from the cage and kidnapped Qiao Jing.

At this time, Qiao Jing's face was full of horror, I don't know if it was rain or tears, hanging all over her cheeks, Lin Yuan noticed that the bone slave was holding a handful of white dangling bone fragments in his hand, and the sharp end was facing Qiao Jing's snow-white neck.

"Don't hurt her!"

Lin Yuan shouted.

The bone slave took a step back and shouted back:

"Don't move! Whoever takes a step forward, I'll kill her! ”

The warriors of the Yan clan stood on the spot, and they didn't dare to act rashly, and they all looked at Lin Yuan.

"Bastard......" Lin Yuan cursed in a low voice, and just as he was about to negotiate further, the bone slave suddenly let out a screaming "hiss", and disappeared into the darkness of the rainy night with Qiao Jing and Xiang......

"Blade! Grab our best hunters and follow me out! ”

Lin Yuan decisively ordered, Qiao Jing was in the hands of these two people, no matter what, he had to save her back.

The blade immediately took the order and began to prepare, Anna grabbed Lin Yuan's arm and said with a crying voice:

"It's all my fault! It's all my fault...... Qiao Jing shouldn't have been left alone to deliver food to the prisoners tonight, it should have been for the workers...... As a result, Qiao Jing had to go, saying that she wanted to try to ask for information......"

"Then why didn't you tell me in advance?" Lin Yuan hurried back, this was the first time he had spoken to Anna so loudly.

Anna sobbed and said:

"It's Qiao Jing who won't let me tell you, she said...... Everyone is having a good time today and wants to take some barbecue meat for the prisoners, trying to set out the location of the uncanny valley and surprise you......"

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, indeed, the bone slave's mouth had always been very tight, and he had never said a word about the location of the Uncanny Valley, no matter what kind of torture he used...... He once told Qiao Jing that he wanted to fulfill his promise to the tribe members and find their relatives.

Anyway, he couldn't be angry with Anna about this matter, so he whispered a few words of comfort and asked Anna to manage the tribe and wait for him to return.

Blade selected a team of 15 hunters for Lin Yuan, many of them were excellent hunters who appeared in the competition, and Big Tooth was also among them.

Lin Yuan didn't say much, decisively grabbed a few pieces of equipment, and immediately prepared to set off.

"Lord Yan, I want to go too......"

Hou Yi shouted behind Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan frowned, this child was still too young, on the road on a rainy night, full of unknown dangers, it was difficult to take care of him, so he declined his kindness, and hurriedly took the team on the hunting journey.

It was raining heavily, the moon was obscured by dark clouds, and the woods in the mountains were full of muddy and rotten roads, and they were struggling to walk, falling almost every few dozen steps.

But Lin Yuan didn't slow down in the slightest, he knew that every minute of delay meant that the possibility of rescuing Qiao Jing was reduced.

Fortunately, this team is all excellent hunters carefully selected by the blade, all of them are tracking masters, and they stepped up their pace while the traces of their escape were still a little fresh.

There were no words all the way, only the sound of people panting, everyone didn't know how far they had walked, they only knew that they had fallen countless times in the mountains, and their bodies were covered with mud, and Lin Yuan even felt that his mouth was full of the smell of sludge.

No one said they were tired, everyone silently and desperately moved forward, picking out the subtle traces, broken branches, footprints of different shades, and even the peculiar smell of the bone slaves, all of which became clues for the hunters to find their way.

I don't know how long it was, and Lin Yuan couldn't remember how many mountains he had climbed, and finally, when it was almost dawn, the blade stopped.

"Arrived?" Lin Yuan asked in a hoarse voice.

Blade nodded, then made a gesture, all the hunters hurriedly squatted down, everyone cautiously crawled forward for a while, and after clearing a large pile of bushes, Lin Yuan finally saw a camp under the hillside behind the trees.

It was a huge camp built in the middle of the valley, almost as far as the eye could see, and countless ugly broken tents stretched for hundreds of meters along a small twisting river.

Lin Yuan probably counted the number of tents, there were at least thousands, if a tent could accommodate at least 5 primitives, that is to say, there were probably more than 5,000 primitives in this camp......

"Ahh So many people ......"

Big Tooth looked at the camp in front of him in surprise.

Blade put his finger to his mouth, warning Big Tooth to be quiet.

"King Yan, the traces are here, and then turned into the camp in front." The blade whispered to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan nodded, there were too many people in this camp, could it be that this was the base camp of that legendary headhunter? Oops, in this case, their number is too small to be tough at all, they can only find a way to outwit them.

First of all, it is necessary to find Qiao Jing's traces.

So Lin Yuan waved his hand and arranged for the blade to sneak down the hillside with two agile hunters, and go to investigate before the sky was completely bright.

The reconnaissance team set off immediately, while Lin Yuan observed back and forth along the hillside, memorizing as many details as possible about the situation in the enemy's valley camp, and then began to deduce countless offensive strategies in his mind.

There are not a few successful battles in history that win more with less and secret sneak attacks, besides, Lin Yuan himself is a master of strategy games, as soon as he closed his eyes, countless battle scenes that he had won appeared in front of him.

What he needs to do is to pick out the most suitable tactic for himself according to the actual situation.

This is a real war, there is no SAVE/LAND, so make sure nothing goes wrong.

After about an hour, the reconnaissance team managed to sneak back, and the blade was so good that it didn't attract the attention of the enemy.

"How's it going?"

Lin Yuan asked.

"I saw Qiao Jing! She's fine, for now! They were put in a cage where there were a lot of captives. ”

Blade reported.

"Is her life in danger? I mean, these headhunters, will they eat ......?"

Shaking his head vigorously, he said:

"Not for the time being, I just saw that their camp has a sufficient food reserve, and a huge altar has been erected in the river valley, it is estimated that there will be a large sacrifice in the next few days, so they will not kill the prisoners for the time being, this is the sacrifice they want to offer to the Jiuli tribe."

"Jiuli clan?" Lin Yuan asked with a frown.

Blade nodded and said:

"I also overheard it down just now, they have two headhunters, and they happened to talk about the Jiuli clan...... I didn't understand anything else, I just heard the word......"

Suddenly, another hunter who had gone down with the blade picked up and said:

"I can understand the headhunters...... What they said was to prepare for the establishment of the Jiuli tribe to contribute sacrifices...... The Chiyou have completely conquered the 9 most powerful tribes in Shannan, and they are ready to form a new tribal alliance."

Lin Yuan took a closer look at the hunter who spoke, he was dark and thin, and the bridge of his tall nose was obviously different from that of these primitive people, Lin Yuan noticed that this primitive man had a feather tied around his left arm.

"You're from the Feathered Clan?"

The other party nodded and said in a panic:

"Lord Yanwang! My name is karma, but I'm from the Yan tribe! The Feathered Humans are gone, and I am no longer the Feathered Humans...... I'm ashamed of what Sho did......"

Blade added: "Lord Yanwang, karma is your own person. ”

Lin Yuan snorted, and accepted the karma.

Hunters who value the blade will not have a problem.

"Everybody, come closer."

Lin Yuan instructed, he broke off a tree branch, drew a simple map of the enemy camp on the wet dirt under the bushes, and marked the general location of the tent group.

If what Ye said is correct, then the tribe in the valley is not exactly a headhunter, but a tribal alliance of the Jiuli tribe that is about to be formed.

Lin Yuan told Ye what he thought, and Ye nodded, pointed to Lin Yuan's map, and added:

"Yes, Lord Yanwang, when I went down just now, I noticed it, you see, on this side of the river, there are all black tents, that is the devil clan in Shannan, here, the shack built of wood, they are the Shenmu clan, and they are also a tribe in Shannan, and the farthest ones, I can't see clearly, but it is estimated that they are also ...... in Shannan"

Lin Yuan frowned, and thought about what Ye said, most of these tribes came here from the south of the mountains and mountains, what did they gather here for......

"It seems that this is the uncanny valley in the mouth of the bone slave, and you just said that the nine major tribes of Shannan ......?"

Lin Yuan looked at karma with an inquiring expression.

"Lord Yanwang, south of our mountains, ancient books are dense, poisonous forests are everywhere, survival is difficult, the tribes there fight all year round in order to earn prey, and finally formed nine tribes, our Yuren clan is also one of them, as well as headhunters, devil clans, and Shenmu clans...... Of course, the most powerful is still the Chiyou tribe......"

Lin Yuan snorted, when he was chatting with Qiao Jing about history before, he had confirmed that the Chiyou recorded in the ancient books should probably be a historical figure who appeared around 5000 BC, not the current Chiyou clan...... What does it have to do with that historical Chiyou?

"Tell me about the Chiyou tribe." Lin Yuan asked.

"All I know is that they used to be a very weak tribe, and they were almost eaten by the headhunters, until for a while, when they suddenly became stronger, they quickly exterminated the headhunters and incorporated them into the tribe...... Legend has it that they were helped by the god of war......"

"Hmph......" Lin Yuan snorted coldly.

Ye hurriedly stopped his mouth for a long time before he whispered:

“…… Lord Yanwang, this is all what Xiang told us when he was sacrificing......"

Lin Yuan looked at the sky and thought for a while, then threw away the branch in his hand, patted Ye on the shoulder, and said:

"Okay, okay, I understand the background, so now, let's study how to take out these cannibal bastards!"
