Chapter 8 The Blade in the Dark

"What did you let the blade do?" Anna leaned into Lin Yuan's ear and asked anxiously.

Lin Yuan waved his hand and didn't answer, he was worried about another thing at this time.

Xiang, who had been killed halfway, had already left the camp with the group of people who followed him, and set off for the uncanny valley that the bone slave had said.

Xiang's Feather People tribe has been constantly agitating the more than 100 young people under his command, causing their group to be so excited that everyone is eager to kill the uncanny valley immediately and save their families.

But Lin Yuan didn't think so.

In his opinion, these people in front of him are simply going to die.

First of all, the captives were unarmed except for a few stone spears recovered from the dead headhunters, and they were hungry and tired along the way, and their combat effectiveness was pitifully low.

Secondly, for the uncanny valley that the bone slave said, without prior reconnaissance, they knew very little about the enemy's situation, and they might not be able to play a trick by the bone slave and lead them into another trap.

But in the current situation, Lin Yuan didn't have any better way.

Since those people have chosen to follow Xiang, then perhaps, this is their fate.

Now that it was getting late and the cold wind was blowing, Lin Yuan straightened the animal skin on his body, which Qiao Jing gave him when he was in the Zheng Jing tribe.

Although the animal skin is very warm, it is limited by the backward cutting and sewing technology, and it cannot be effectively fitted, and the cold wind continues to penetrate from the arms and thighs.

"Qiao Jing! Anna! ”

Lin Yuan summoned the only two remaining traversers.

"We can't stay here overnight, someone just reported that there is a stone wall not far in front of us, which can be sheltered from the wind, let's hurry over before it gets dark."

The two girls nodded hurriedly, after the previous battle, Lin Yuan was now the only person they could rely on, so they naturally obeyed.

"Qiao Jing, you are responsible for gathering those little children who have no parents, Anna, you are responsible for gathering those women, and I am responsible for gathering the rest, and we must set off as soon as we are ready, we must rush to the stone wall before dark.

Everyone was ordered to disperse.

These primitive people are very obedient, as long as they identify the leader, they will obey absolutely, this may be subject to the intellectual development of primitive people, except for a few particularly smart, most of them are wooden heads, and will only obey orders, but this is a good thing for Lin Yuan, he can manage and command more conveniently, without thinking about anything else.

The gathering of personnel and the departure went very smoothly, except for a few wounded who needed to be supported by someone, there was basically no effort.

By the time they reached the bottom of the stone wall, it was getting dark.

More than 200 sleepy and tired primitive people quickly sat down next to each other and snuggled up to each other to keep warm.

"It would be nice if we were still in the Zheng Jing tribe......" Anna said with a soft sigh.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yuan asked.

"In the cave before us, there was a protected fire, and this kind of weather is the best time to light a bonfire, so that it will be much warmer......" Anna said faintly, she glanced at the primitive people huddled together, sighed, and continued:

"If there is no fire, I am worried...... I'm afraid these wounded and young people won't survive tomorrow......"

Qiao Jing clasped her hands in front of her chest and interjected:

"Aren't headhunters tindering! Wasn't they there at noon before, preparing to light a fire and roast people? ”

"It's gone, it's gone! It's long gone, and the headhunter's torch has long been stepped on when he fought just now. ”

"Ah......" Qiao Jing looked at Lin Yuan in disappointment, and suddenly said:

"Brother Lin Yuan, what are you looking at?"

At this time, Lin Yuan was looking at the dark sky in a daze, and after a while, he replied:

"Nothing, huh...... I always feel ...... Something is wrong......"

"Where? Tinder? Qiao Jing answered.

Anna smiled and pulled Qiao Jing over, scraped the girl's nose with her hand, and said:

"You, you, don't be naughty, your brother Lin Yuan doesn't know that in the Paleolithic Age, primitive people haven't invented artificial fire......

As if she suddenly remembered something, Qiao Jing jumped out of Anna's arms, and said with a smile: "Haha, Brother Lin Yuan, I forgot that you just crossed over, you don't know yet, the fires here are all left from the spontaneous combustion of the forest fires, the tribe with fire, but it is very powerful, because it is very difficult to save the fire......"

"Shh!!h Lin Yuan suddenly stretched out his hand and covered Qiao Jing's mouth, his eyes were stern, his brows were tightly locked, and his expression obviously didn't mean to joke with them.

"What's ......" Anna also noticed something strange and hurriedly asked.

Suddenly, in the dark night sky outside the stone wall, several figures faintly appeared, shaking like ghosts, gradually approaching everyone.

"Ahh Headhunters have spotted us!! Anna exclaimed.

"No, they're not headhunters!" Lin Yuan said word by word, he stood up and walked to the front of the crowd.

Qiao Jing and Anna hurriedly woke up the crowd and moved towards the inside of the stone wall.

A cold wind blew, blowing the animal skin on Lin Yuan's body to hunt, and he stood at the entrance of the cave, not moving at all, protecting the people behind him.

"Come out! I know, you wolf-hearted thing! ”

Lin Yuan shouted at the dark night sky.

After a while, a few white spots were revealed where the five fingers were originally missing, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be human teeth, laughing miserably in the air.

"Giggles......

Ugly laughter came from the night, and many women behind Lin Yuan screamed.

Dozens of figures emerged from the darkness, then more and more.

The cold wind blew away the dark clouds that covered the moon, and a piece of bright moonlight sprinkled on the ground, and Lin Yuan saw the person who was laughing, covered with feathers of different colors.

It's Xiang.

"Sure enough, it's you." Lin Yuan said calmly.

Xiang was obviously stunned, he looked left and right, and all the henchmen standing next to him were his own tribe's henchmen, could someone tell him?

"You...... How...... Know? Xiang asked in a broken tribal language, his voice hoarse.

Lin Yuan pretended to smile mysteriously, in fact, he also guessed that when he was competing for the position of chief before, he was very strange, how could the leader of this barbarian tribe be so easy to accept letting the captives choose their followers freely? According to the law of the jungle in primitive society, the strong is king. Even if it is a monkey, there can only be one monkey king in a monkey group, and the same is true for primitive tribes, so no matter what, a split will not be allowed.

The only possibility is that this primitive man named Xiang is a scheming guy, and he must have a ghost in his heart.

Sure enough, let Lin Yuan guess.

"Not only did I know that you would treacherously attack us, but I also knew that you were afraid that someone would oppose you, so you deliberately left the large army far away, and only brought your own cronies with you."

Lin Yuan said calmly, these words are his speculation, it may be right or not, but at this time he can't care about this, the primary purpose now is to drag the other party and wait for the blade to come back.

Xiang didn't say anything, it was obvious that Lin Yuan's words were correct nine times out of ten, and this primitive man was a little panicked at this time, perhaps because he had never met such a thoughtful person, or because the primitive person's logical thinking ability could not keep up with Lin Yuan's rhythm.

Seeing the opportunity, Lin Yuan hurriedly continued:

"I know, you are definitely not willing to take only a small half of the people, your purpose is everyone here, you want to be the boss, you want to continue to enslave these people who have just gained freedom, if I guess correctly, in fact, you are the same as those headhunter neighbors of yours, maybe you will eat ......"

"That's right! We also eat people, but we only eat the enemy! As long as you're dead, I'll be the Great Chief! All of you will submit to the rule of our Feather Clan! I won't eat my own people! Except for you, I will kill you and sacrifice to the feather god. Xiang rudely interrupted Lin Yuan's words, and he grabbed the stone spear in his hand, which was the stone spear left by the previous headhunters, and the feather people clan had one in their hands.

"Lin Yuan, what should I do? What are we going to do? Anna asked anxiously with a crying voice, she hid behind Lin Yuan, trembling all over.
