It was night, an ordinary wilderness night.

The dark night sky slowly shrouded the wilderness, and except for the occasional sparkle of fire in the six crowded camps, there were no fingers to be seen around.

A sturdy young man, with five young men with bows and arrows on his back, and torches lit with lard-soaked hemp rope, slowly left the camp of the Suiren clan and walked towards the camp of the Tu tribe along a road they had already walked well.

He is Hou Yi, and in a few years, he has grown that hairy boy into a strong and brave Yan warrior, and he also has his own team of archers.

In order to ensure smooth communication between the six tribes, Lin Yuan established a mechanism of regular patrols, even at night when people are inaccessible, there will be people with torches on the road between camps to maintain uninterrupted patrols, so as to ensure that every person in the Yan Alliance is not attacked by wild beasts or enemies.

Protecting every member of the Yan clan is the commitment of the Yan clan, and it is also Lin Yuan's promise.

……

Yi ...... Today's patrol is so quiet! It's boring......"

A young man with a black mole in his left eye said, he took the bow and arrow behind his back in his hand, and played up and down as he walked, and said with some boredom.

"What's the matter, are you thinking about that Huaxu girl? Haha, didn't people say it all today, I'm not interested in you, hahahaha......" Another tall, tall boy said loudly and mockingly.

"I'll go, get out of here, are you trying to find death?" The young man with the black mole was angry and wanted to hit someone, and the two of them giggled and pulled together.

"Shut up! We're here to patrol, not to play! Hou Yi roared solemnly, and the two people behind him were silenced, and followed Hou Yi tightly with their heads down.

"King Yan said, we must be vigilant recently! It's been a long time since there's been news from the mountain, why are you still so worried? It's really in vain what King Yan expects from us! ”

Hou Yi turned his head and looked at the young men under him with a serious face, several of them lowered their heads in embarrassment, and they didn't dare to come out.

"Alas......" Hou Yi was about to say something, but suddenly, the expression of the young man with a mole on his face changed and said:

"Listen! What is that? ”

Hou Yi frowned, swallowed back what he wanted to say just now, and listened with his eyes and ears for a while, but he didn't hear anything.

"Oh, are you kid looking for death, and you dare to deceive the boss......" said the strong guy who was pulling with the young man with a mole just now, with a mocking face.

But the young man with a mole frowned, his eyes staring at Hou Yi's back, which was the direction of the mountain.

"I swear to the god of fire, there really was a voice just now......"

"There is a sound of fart......" The strong guy didn't finish speaking, but suddenly saw Hou Yi stretch out his hand to signal him to shut up, and hurriedly swallowed the second half of the sentence into his stomach.

"Whoa...... Snap ......"

A soft voice came again, and this time, everyone present heard it clearly.

"What's that?" At this time, the strong guy did not have the previous arrogance, and at this time he had already taken out the bow and arrow behind his back, pinched it in his hand, and was ready to attack.

Hou Yi frowned, turned to look in the direction of the mountain, listened attentively for a while, and then said:

“…… Well...... That's like...... It's the sound of a bird......"

In the dark night, let alone the birds in the distance, even the birds overhead, they couldn't see it at all, so Hou Yi and they could only guess by sound.

"But that's not right...... This bird sleeps in its nest at night, how can it run out and fly around? And is it so much to fly together? Listen to the voice...... I'm afraid there are thousands of birds...... Oh......" The mole young man had just said half of his words, and closed his mouth again, for the sound of the bird was heard again, but this time, the voice was much louder, as if it were right in front of him.

"Whoa...... Snap Fall...... Poof...... Poof......"

Hou Yi frowned, closed his eyes, listened to it for a long time, and suddenly grabbed the bow and arrow behind his back in his hand with lightning speed, and with a swish, an arrow flew out and shot into the dark night sky, and then about a few seconds later, they heard a "snap" sound not far away, as if something had fallen from the sky.

Hou Yi made a gesture, and the strong guy immediately ran over, and after a while, he ran back with an animal in his hand and brought it to Hou Yi.

Hou Yi frowned, and by the light of the torch, he took a closer look, and it turned out to be a very ordinary wild duck, but his brows were tightly wrinkled together and did not let go.

"It's ...... It's been a long time since I've seen a wild duck in the mountains...... It's been a few years......"

"That's right...... I haven't seen ...... since we left the mountain."

Two archers recruited from the Yan clan surrounded the wild ducks, and you and I said word by word.

Hou Yi nodded, frowned and added:

"Yes, this is the wild duck of our hometown, it's just ...... Why do they fly here? ”

"Ah...... Ahh......hh

Hou Yi looked at the fingers of the young man with moles, and in the dark night sky, there were a few light blue points of light, gently floating up and down, like stars floating in the sky.

"It's a wolf...... Wild wolf! Raise your torches, everybody! Don't move! Hou Yi shouted loudly, and the remaining archers immediately raised the torches in their arms, and everyone was nervously huddled together.

Hou Yi stretched out his hand and gently wiped the beads of sweat on his head, he knew that this was a wild wolf, he had encountered it when he first came to the wilderness with King Yan, and those few wars with wild wolves made him unforgettable for life.

Of course, he also remembered the brutality and savagery of the wild wolf.

It's just that since Lin Yuan gained the heart of the wolves, the wild wolves in this wilderness seem to have converged a lot, and they have never intruded humans much again, and even many times, these wild wolves are deliberately avoiding humans...... But why, at this moment, these wild wolves have reappeared?

Hou Yi was a little nervous, after all, this was the first time he had encountered a real enemy alone since he became an adult.

"I want to be calm...... I want to calm down......" Hou Yi muttered in a voice that no one else could hear, and then he suddenly remembered something, and ordered everyone loudly:

"Wolves are afraid of fire, yes! King Yan once said that wild wolves are afraid of fire! It's okay! Everyone, take out all the spare torches, yes, light them all! ”

According to Hou Yi's request, everyone took out the spare torches in their arms and lit them alternately, and in an instant, the fire around everyone skyrocketed and shone brightly.

The blue dots of light around them remained unmoved, still drifting back and forth in the distance, but never took a step forward.

After a while, Hou Yi seemed to hear something again, from far and near, quickly coming, it seemed to be the sound of some kind of animal running, and it seemed to be thundering in the sky.

Suddenly, the eyes of the wolves began to wander rapidly, as if the wolves were a little impatient, and after a while, these eyes drifted away from the crowd and quickly drifted towards the far north.

Hou Yi just breathed a sigh of relief, and then, the rolling thunder on the horizon was getting closer and closer...... As it got closer, it seemed to sound around it, and even the earth began to tremble.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was happening, and then it seemed that all of a sudden, from the direction of the mountain, countless flashing eyes appeared, blue, red, and yellow, and more, there were dark objects that could not see the eyes, and they were rapidly approaching them.

It's a frightened herd!

"Quick! Come on, stand together! Gather the torches together! Hou Yi instinctively ordered loudly, and all the people instantly huddled together, aiming the torches at the attacking beasts, and seeing the loud rumbling sound coming to their ears, several young archers couldn't help but close their eyes.

Hou Yi's eyes kept open, he saw it! He saw that under the light of the torches, there were countless wild beasts in the distance, including wild boars, rhinoceros, wild deer, and a few beasts that could not be called anything, and among these beasts, there were countless small animals, hares, and all kinds of birds, rats, and countless other animals that could not be named, and Hou Yi's eyes could not see all the animals at a glance.

These animals all have only one thing in common, and that is that they are all huddled together, running in one direction.

This direction is the direction of escaping from the mountains.

Seeing a huge wild rhinoceros rushing towards him, Hou Yi couldn't help but grab the torch placed in front of him, closed his eyes, and then heard a deafening sound passing by, and he even asked about the fishy smell on the rhinoceros, but he didn't seem to be hit.

Hou Yi opened his eyes carefully, he was surprised to find that they were in the center of the herd, countless wild beasts seemed to have a tacit understanding, bypassing Hou Yi and their torches, and continued to run forward, these male burning torches, like a stone embedded in the torrent, forcibly cut a small gap in the wild current of the beast herd, protecting the hunters standing behind.

The frenzied herd ran for a full third of the torch before it subsided, and then faded away.

Hou Yi looked at the rumbling sound that had gone away, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, only then did he realize that his back was already soaked.

He was just about to relax, but suddenly he heard the mole young man shouting again: "My god of fire! Look! ”

The crowd looked in the direction of his finger, and it was the mountain, the mountain that had once been their hometown.

At this time, the mountain, which could not be seen at all in the dark night, suddenly burst out of a burst of red light, leading the mountains of Chonglan into a scarlet light.

The red light became more and more abundant, and finally, even the horizon was reflected in red, like a bloody sunset.

"I ...... God...... That's fire! Look! The mountain is set on fire!! Oh...... No, no! The sky is also on fire......"

The young man with the mole was completely stunned, his eyes were stunned and he looked in the direction of the mountain, except for his mouth to say those words uncontrollably, his whole body stiffened.

Hou Yi wiped his sweat-soaked face vigorously, and shouted loudly in a rough dress:

"Quick! Hurry up, hurry up! Hurry up and follow me back to Huadu! We're going to report to King Yan quickly! Come on!!!!! ”
