The first to discover the black-clothed envoy was the Huaxu tribe stationed near the valley mouth in the southeast.

Since the Huaxu tribe has been submissive to the Yan people, they have settled down in that river beach with peace of mind, and in the past three years, they have also formed some scales, they imitated the Yan people's architectural model, and built a number of low shacks by the river, under the protection of the Yan people, they no longer have to worry about the raids of the barbarians, and obtained a stable source of food.

In return, the Huaxu unconditionally sent their own young men to participate in the Yan hunter training, and became a member of the Yan hunter army to contribute to the protection of the wilderness.

Under Anna's call, their women also began to undertake some of the Yan tribe's animal skin cutting and drying work, Lin Yuan also inadvertently found that it seems that the women of the Huaxu tribe have a talent for leather making and sewing, and the animal skin products they make are both beautiful and comfortable, and are very popular within the Yan tribe.

With the successful experience of the Huaxu clan, following this model, Lin Yuan officially accepted the Suiren clan's request to open a new camp, because with the continuous growth of the Hua, Suiren clan and slave population, Huadu has become more and more crowded, especially in the recent year, the tribe has achieved a bumper harvest in the farmland cultivated in the swamp, the border is relatively peaceful, there are no major wars, the food supply is sufficient and there is no war loss, resulting in an explosive increase in population.

Now, walking casually on the inner path of Huadu, you can hear the crying of babies coming from the hut next to you, as well as bare-bottomed children running around the ground, and the laughter of children playing resounded throughout Huadu. If you leave the path and come to the square at the entrance to the Waldo, you will find it crowded with slaves carrying timber and dirt on their backs, hunters hurrying by, and devotees of the fire watchers in red animal skins.

The largest city on the plains was packed with people.

Therefore, it has become a top priority to open up a new colony at this time, and at this time, the Suiren clan also made the same request, although they are very satisfied with the past few years of living with the Yan clan, but now that everything is stable, they also want to start their own camp.

When he expressed this idea to Lin Yuan, he was very embarrassed, because, in the eyes of this loyal partner, rashly proposing to leave might make King Yan very unhappy, and at the same time, it was also a very unrighteous thing.

However, Lin Yuan unexpectedly accepted the eggplant's idea, and took the initiative to arrange for someone to help the eggplant choose the location of the new camp, which made the eggplant couldn't help but be flattered, and kept repeating the oath to the Yan King never betrayed, trying to express his loyalty.

In the end, they chose a new camp, just south of Huadu, the only way out of the valley, there was a temporary camp, that is, the place where the captives of the Youchao clan had been held, and the area around the camp was easy to drink, and the ground had been transformed, and it would be much easier for them to build on this basis.

With the help of Lin Yuan, the camp of the Suiren clan was quickly completed, and so far, there are three camps of different sizes in the entire wilderness, headed by the Huadu of the Yan clan, the Suiren clan of the tomato in the south, and the Huaxu clan in the southwest.

In this way, unconsciously, in three years, the Yan people, the Suiren clan, and the Huaxu tribe have further achieved racial integration, and the division of labor in the production process has also been initially realized within the tribe, and a general Yan alliance has been initially formed.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the black-clothed messenger, perhaps, this golden age of prosperity of the Yan Alliance would have continued.

It was a sunny afternoon, and Lin Yuan was on the ridge of the swamp, directing the slaves and the domesticated bison to cooperate with each other to clear new land.

Suddenly, from the direction of Huadu behind him, a scout hunter rushed in, chanting the name of King Yan all the way.

"King Yan...... Lord Yanwang, the patriarch of the Huaxu clan brought a messenger from the mountains to ask for a meeting, and he was in Huadu at this time. ”

Lin Yuan frowned, didn't he say that he wouldn't let them let the races in the mountains come over......

But although he was dissatisfied, he didn't show it, and there was no need to let the people below know about many things.

Since the patriarch of Huaxu personally sent it, there must be something strange about this messenger.

Lin Yuan dropped the matter in his hand and hurriedly rushed back to Huadu with his entourage.

In the large square in front of the Fire God Temple, several people from the Huaxu tribe were standing there anxiously.

Lin Yuan recognized the patriarch of the Huaxu clan at a glance, the old woman, it seemed that three years had not left any too obvious marks on her face, except for a few new strands of white hair on her head, it seemed that her back was not as hunched as before.

When Lin Yuan approached, he found that the Huaxu hunters beside her were surrounded by a person curled up on the ground, which may be what everyone calls the envoy in the mountains.

Seeing Lin Yuan coming over, the people of the Huaxu clan hurriedly made way of a passage and let Lin Yuan come to him.

He found that the man curled up on the ground was actually skinny, and the black leather coat was loosely covered by the man's body, like a shroud covering the skeleton.

"Who is this?" Lin Yuan asked with a slight frown, he found that this person's chest was still rising and falling with difficulty, and he seemed to be breathing.

"Lord Yanwang...... We found him in the early hours of this morning, in the Dawei River, when we first found him, he clung to a branch and floated on the river, it seems that he should have drifted out of the depths of the mountain, we don't understand his words, only that he called himself a survivor......"

Lin Yuan frowned, it seems that this is another person of a different race, they can't understand the Huaxu clan, it's normal, but Lin Yuan can understand it, he has the simultaneous translation function of the bracelet.

"Can you hear what I'm saying?"

Lin Yuan approached the scrawny man and asked.

The person lying on the ground moved, raised his eyelids with great effort, looked at Lin Yuan, and then spit out a few words with difficulty:

"Water...... Hungry ......"

"Flame King! I'm afraid this person is a spy of the Jiuli clan, right? Let's throw him into the swamp. ”

Ye didn't know when he walked to Lin Yuan's side and said categorically.

Anna looked at the person lying on the ground with some sadness, and said slowly to Lin Yuan:

"No...... I think this person shouldn't be the Jiuli tribe, you see that he is thin, it seems that he is really hungry like this, the Jiuli tribe is said to have robbed a lot of wealth and food, it is said that there should not be such a thin person. “

Everyone looked at Lin Yuan, who thought for a moment and said:

"In that case...... Karma, go and call a few slaves, carry him to the square first, find someone to build a temporary shack, Anna, you go and prepare some hot water and minced meat, don't let him starve to death......"

Everyone was just about to leave, and suddenly, Lin Yuan instructed again:

"Remember, all who come into contact with this person must use a slave!"

This person may have some infectious diseases, it is better to be careful, Lin Yuan whispered in his heart.

Soon after bidding farewell to the Huaxu clan, Lin Yuan returned to the Vulcan Square, where the slaves had already set up a simple small tent on the west side of the square as instructed.

Seeing Lin Yuan coming, the group of people gathered outside the tent hurriedly turned around, and Anna said softly:

"I've arranged for the slave to be fed, he seems to be recovering, do you want to question now?"

Lin Yuan looked over from the gap in the tent, the guy who claimed to be the surviving man was lying flat on the floor resting, if it weren't for the slightly undulating chest, it really looked like it was just a dry corpse.

Lin Yuan shook his head, stepped back, and said:

"Forget it, let's wait for him to recover for a while......"

After speaking, Lin Yuan turned around and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, the surviving person lying in the tent suddenly opened his eyes, staring at Lin Yuan's back, and the courage that he didn't know where he came from, grabbed it in the air with his thin right hand, and said angrily:

"No...... Don't go! ”

Lin Yuan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly turned around and looked at the other party.

“…… Please...... Please save my people...... Ask for ...... Please......"

The shriveled lips of the surviving man were constantly inciting, and it seemed that there were countless words he wanted to tell Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan bent down and squatted down, and several slaves immediately brought wooden stakes and invited Lin Yuan to sit down.

"Where are you from? What's going on with you? Lin Yuan asked calmly.

"I ...... Horn end ...... We...... Ahem, ahem, ahem......" The surviving man suddenly coughed violently.

One of the slaves immediately brought a bowl of warm water and fed it to the other's mouth, and after a while, he seemed to recover a little, and then said:

"There was nothing to eat...... The hunters were all killed...... There are also fewer prey...... There are fewer and fewer people alive...... Ask for ...... Please, give me something to eat...... Let me bring it back and save my ...... cough cough cough ......"

A sudden and violent cough made the surviving man have to stop talking, and this time, he fell asleep.

Lin Yuan sighed and instructed the people around him:

"Good life, good food, Anna, you come with me."

After saying that, he led Anna slowly into the Fire Temple, where Fu Xi was standing quietly in the court waiting for them.

"Fuxi, have you seen this person?"

As soon as Lin Yuan walked into the hall, he looked up and asked.

Fu Xi replied respectfully:

"Yes, this person probably won't live tomorrow...... I've been hungry for too long, my body's five organs have basically been damaged, and I've been soaking in the river for so long......"

Anna frowned and couldn't help but say:

"Can't you save him? Don't you Shennong people know a lot about herbal medicine? ”

Fu Xi shook his head slightly, Lin Yuan reached out and patted Anna's shoulder, and comforted softly:

"At this level, he is already a dying person, and his stomach is estimated to have atrophied, unless in our hometown, it may be saved by intravenous drip of nutrient solution, but ...... here"

Anna rested her head on Lin Yuan's shoulder sadly, she hadn't seen people's deaths and injuries for a long time, not to mention, this was a person who had been starved to death, accustomed to the days of the Yan people's abundant food, she must have been very sad in her heart at this time.

Of course, Fu Xi couldn't understand what Lin Yuan said about "intravenous drip", but he didn't ask, he only knew that the Yan King in front of him was not an ordinary human being, and he must have the power of the Fire God in his body, which he firmly believed, as for the strange words that the Yan King occasionally said, it was not enough.

"King Yan, if you can, can you leave this person to me after he dies?" Fu Xi said suddenly.

"What do you want a corpse for?"

Fu Xi suddenly showed an embarrassed expression, and after a while, he said:

"Contemptible...... It's just curious to know what happens to the body for someone who has starved to death......"

Lin Yuan asked with a serious expression:

"You want to dissect him?"

"Huh? Dissect? ”

"I'm asking if you want to cut open the corpse with a bone blade!" Lin Yuan said angrily, Anna pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but she didn't say it.

Fu Xi nodded vigorously and snorted.

Lin Yuan sighed and said:

"Okay, I know you're interested in these things, but be careful to keep it a secret, I don't want to be called the Flame King of the dismembered corpse in the future...... By the way, when you're done with what you want to do, remember to burn the body! ”

"Fuxi understands."

Lin Yuan looked up at the holy fire that was burning in the center of the lobby, and said slowly:

"Whatever the outcome of this man, at least, his presence illustrates the fact that there is a serious problem with the food supply in the mountains...... Although I had expected such a day, I didn't expect it to be so soon. ”

Fu Xi stood quietly on the side, without saying a word, Anna asked curiously:

"You expected that?"

"Yes, according to the development process of human civilization, sooner or later, people will leave the mountains, and the reason for leaving the mountains, thinking about it, can only be because of the problem of food, because with the improvement of people's intelligence, they will learn to make more tools, and the increase in productivity will directly lead to the growth of population, but at the same time, because of the intensification of human activities, the mountains and forests will only have fewer and fewer prey inside, so the final result is that people will be forced to leave the mountains and come to the plains to learn to cultivate because of the problem of foodCultivation...... It's just that I didn't expect this historical stage to come so suddenly, I thought it would take at least a few hundred years......"

When Lin Yuan said these words, he didn't care about Fu Xi's existence at all, because he knew that Fu Xi had already been completely subordinated to Lin Yuan spiritually, and he had already thought that Lin Yuan was the spokesperson of the Fire God, or some other person with supernatural abilities, so if Lin Yuan said anything earth-shattering, he would not take it too seriously, he would only listen quietly, and then use his own understanding to add Lin Yuan's words to the prayer words of the Fire God Faith.

Anna was taken aback, looked at Lin Yuan's eyes, and asked stupidly:

"Then how could it be so far in advance? Hundreds of years ahead?? ”

"I don't know, but ...... I think it seems that the emergence of this problem should be related to the Jiuli people...... They interfered with the timeline, affected the course of history, and perhaps, that's why we're here, we need to stop him. ”

Lin Yuan said calmly.
