The mountains around Spindle Valley are not too high, but they are extremely steep, and the entrance in the middle is long and narrow, enough for two or three people to enter side by side, but it is a hundred meters long. Standing at the bottom and looking up, I saw that the cliffs on both sides were sharpened, smooth and straight, and the sky seemed to become a straight line, which was extremely thrilling, and people couldn't help but sigh at the natural creation, and the magic of the axe!

Gao Ran took 50 guards to survey the terrain and hunt some prey for dinner. Sang Nan, Mei Jingfeng, Zhang Huan and others followed Ivan into the valley.

Perhaps the terrain here blocks the cold winds, and the inside of the valley is noticeably less cold than outside. The valley is covered with moss, lichens, dwarf trees, and shrubs of all kinds, and the ground is black and fertile. In the distance, there are more than 20 steeple-roofed wooden houses with snow-covered roofs.

Sang Nan knew in his heart that this was already a very good place for the exiles who had just arrived in the Northern Demon Plain.

"Huh? Where have all the people gone? ”

"Jianbo!"

"Xingde!"

When Ivan saw that there was no one in the valley, he shouted the name of the steward here. He knew that Sang Nan and his entourage were not ordinary people, so it was necessary to explain a few words to Sambo and them, so as not to cause unnecessary incidents in the future, after all, Jian Bo was not bad!

Sang Nan also wondered where the people here had gone, and Mei Jingfeng, Zhang Huan and the others couldn't help but observe the situation around them.

Seeing that he had been shouting for a long time but no one responded, Ivan walked towards the wooden house, and Sang Nan and the others hurriedly followed. In the open space in front of the hut were scattered with hoes, rakes, hammers and other farming tools, which had obviously been thrown on the ground. Ivan's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly pushed open the door of a wooden house, only to see that the pots and pans inside had also fallen to the ground, and there were still a few faint pools of blood on the ground, which were also empty. Zhang Huan reached out and touched it, and found that the fire on the stove had been extinguished, but the iron pot still had residual temperature, indicating that there were still people here not long ago.

"Childe, there is a discovery outside the valley, and someone may have attacked here!" At this moment, Gao Ran came to Sang Nan's side and whispered.

"What's going on?" Sang Nan looked up at the somewhat dim sky and asked lightly.

"A lot of dead people!" Gao Ran introduced the situation with a solemn expression. It turned out that the vicinity of Spindle Valley was sparsely populated and there were many wild animals. Gao Ran and the others didn't go far before they easily shot three reindeer and a dozen rabbits, and when they continued to inspect, several guards found more than 200 corpses behind a hillside on the east side of the valley. Although the bodies had long been frozen, judging by the color of the bloodstains, these people had not been dead for long. Seeing that the situation was serious, Gao Ran left some guards on guard, and he took people back to the valley to report the matter to Sang Nan.

When the group reached the back of the hillside, Ivan quickly recognized the corpses as Jian Bo and the others.

"Jianbo!"

"Huzi!"

……

Sang Nan stepped forward to take a closer look, and found that each corpse had multiple wounds on it, and its facial expressions were extremely painful, obviously all of them were tortured and killed.

"Who do you think did it? Do they have enemies? ”

"I, I don't know! The Jianbo people are very good. ”

Ivan's voice trembled a little, not noticing that the boy's expression was gradually becoming cold.

"Probably a horse thief!" Zhang Huan suddenly spoke, he pointed to a few scattered traces of horse manure on the ground, "There are many bandits on the Northern Demon Plain, but there are not many horse thieves, because it is cold here all year round, and it is not easy to raise war horses." Only a horse thief can kill more than 200 people at the same time, and not miss a single person! I guess this gang of horse thieves should have taken all the food stored in the valley with them! ”

Sang Nan nodded, Zhang Huan's statement is very likely. But in this way, the situation of these people will also become very dangerous.

"Leave someone on guard, let's go back to the valley first, I guess those children are starving!" Sannan carefully surveyed the surroundings and then said calmly.

Hearing Sannan's words, Ivan was a little surprised. He always thought that Sang Nan was the son of a big family, after all, Sang Nan looked only ** years old, younger than most of the children in the valley, he didn't expect to be so calm and capable in trouble, and the people around him were very convinced of him.

What a strange group of people!

Ivan did not return to Spindle Valley with Sannan and the others, and he had to return to the distribution center immediately to report the incident. Before leaving, Sang Nan took out 1,000 gold coins and asked Ivan to help buy a few horses for transportation, which made Ivan very happy, patted his chest and told Sang Nan to rest assured, saying that he would definitely get things done.

The guards were experienced in the wilderness, and they had already lit a few bonfires around the huts in the valley, and then put the snow in an iron pot to turn it into boiling water, and then gave the boys a drink to warm up. The reindeer and rabbits were also neatly disposed of, roasted on the fire, the climate of the Northern Demon Plain was cold, these reindeer and rabbits were born with a strong body, fat and fat, after smoking and roasting, they became charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the guards also used the salt and seasonings they carried with them to sprinkle evenly on the barbecue, and the rich aroma of the barbecue gradually spread, making the hungry teenagers around them look straight in their eyes.

The quality of these Sang teenagers is indeed good, with excellent physique and tenacious character, and no one has complained of being tired until now, even those girls. When Sang Nan saw these teenagers, his heart was suddenly full of hope for the revival of the Sang clan.

In fact, Sang Nan didn't know that in order to ensure the combat level of the clan soldiers, the Sang clan had extremely strict requirements for the children of the clan. If it weren't for the great change in his personality and strange behavior, which disappointed Sang Baihua in his heart, I am afraid that he would have been receiving strict training. This is also the reason why in the event of war, the San people can quickly organize a group of 200,000 elite reserve soldiers.

In the San tribe, no one will sympathize with the weak, male or female. Even if it is an ordinary child of the clan, he must undergo strict all-round training from an early age. And these Sang teenagers in front of them are all outstanding people selected by each family, and they have experienced the rigors of training since they were children, and hardships are naturally nothing to them.

The bloodline continues, and the loyal soul is immortal! This is the most terrifying thing about the San people.

Sang Nan knew in his heart that although these Sang teenagers had good physical fitness, after all, they had not experienced real killing since they were children, and in this place full of dangers, they lacked the ability to protect themselves, and there was almost no chance of survival.

They are the hope of the San's revival, but only if they live. To be alive is to have a chance to grow. To be alive is to have hope!

In order to reproduce, the beast will constantly eliminate those emaciated and sick cubs to ensure the strength of its own genetic strength. But what should those cubs who have lost the protection of their parents also want to survive?

This is the most serious problem facing Sangnam right now. There was only one way in front of Sang Nan, and he could only move forward, and there was no way out.

The venison was tender and nourishing, the rabbit meat was crispy and delicious, and a few large sips of hot wild vegetable soup made everyone forget their previous tension and fatigue for a while, and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner with a happy expression.

The daylight hours of the Northern Demon Plains were very long, and it was not until everyone had eaten dinner that the sky gradually darkened. The teenagers, who had been running all day, were a little tired, so they washed up with snow and water, and then squeezed into the wooden house and fell asleep. The guards set up makeshift tents around the hut to shelter from the wind and snow, but fortunately the bonfires burned very strongly, and they were not afraid of the bitter cold of the night. The Fu Wei and the Feng Group also formed three secret sentinels inside and outside the valley.

Sannan sat by the campfire, not sleepy. The murder of horse thieves gave him enough warning that with their current situation, they could be attacked at any time. To gain a foothold in this place, you need to have strong strength.

Because no matter where you are, you will follow the simplest principle of survival of the fittest, whoever is strong and whose fists are strong enough will get enough territory, food and resources. He has to find a way to make his strength stronger in the short term.

Sang Nan carefully calculated the power he currently possessed:

Mei Shock, a level 8 swordsman, is the high-end power in his hands and his biggest hole card;

Zhang Huan, level 7 swordsman;

Li Yuanru, Double Lion Brothers, and Sosa are all level 6, close to level 7 strength;

Gao Ran and Qiu have just entered level 6, but Qiu is also a flying archer with superb archery skills, and he can snipe at level 7 enemies. Gao Ran, on the other hand, is good at commanding formations, and it cannot be measured purely by the level of force.

The members of the Dragon Group and the Phoenix Group are all about level 5 strength, and they take the assassin route, and in the case of a sneak attack, they can also kill level 6 samurai.

Most of the Li Ying and Fu Wei are level 5 fighters, that is, commander-level soldiers in the army. Among them, the Li battalion is good at foot combat, and the government guard is good at cavalry combat, and their common combat characteristics are mainly small-scale team cooperation and combat.

Sang Nan suddenly found that these people under him were all elites, and everyone could stand alone, but the disadvantages were also very obvious, that is, the number of people was too small to afford to consume losses, and Sang Nan didn't want to use these elites to fight against the enemy.

At the same time, another pressing problem in front of Sang Nan is how to make money quickly. Although the gold coins he carried on this trip made him not have to worry about money in a short time, this money was far from meeting his needs when he had to recruit troops and horses and expand and develop.

Except for the bounty group before, Sang Nan didn't have much business experience, so did he want to establish a bounty group in the Northern Demon Plains to make a living?

The answer is undoubtedly no - not to mention whether it is feasible or not, because he does not have that much time. In his plan, saving his family always comes first. He speculated that if there were no unforeseen circumstances, Ice Dragon City would be able to sustain it for at least 3 months.

During this time, he had to do something to change the current situation of the San.
