Somewhere on the riverbank, beside the woods, there are hundreds of animal skin tent camps. A roaring bonfire surrounded the camp to ward off the cold and wild beasts, and a dozen burly warriors roasted around the camp to keep watch.

In the largest tent, Centurion Hu and Lu, who is also the patriarch of this tribe, summoned a meeting of the ten centurions and today's eyewitness Batu, with a solemn expression.

Just now, everyone received an oracle from the ancestral god, and the oracle only has one sentence: "The bear god haunts"! This made the patriarch, who had previously rebuked Batu's report as nonsense, immediately realize the seriousness of the problem. For the Du Thunder God Clan, which is difficult to reproduce, the death of a clan is definitely a major loss, just as one less male horse means the loss of a herd, not to mention living up to the ancestral god's god-given cultivation over the years.

In fact, Batu doesn't believe in the bear god very much, but now that the ancestral gods have issued oracles to confirm it, and the Agoura brothers are also dead, the shock in Batu's heart can be imagined.

So now the question everyone is "what to do"? For a long time, the oracle of the ancestral god was as simple and direct as a guiding light in the night, but this oracle made people not know what to do.

One of the ten captains began to express his opinion: "I think this is because the ancestral god does not know the information of this bear god and cannot give us instructions, so what we have to do is to scout this bear god and give the ancestral god more information." ”

The patriarch shook his head: "It's not that simple, the ancestral god will tell us to 'take action' when he doesn't know the information, but this time he didn't even say anything about emergency response!" Batu, you've seen the bear god, tell me. ”

Batu said in a sullen voice: "This bear is indeed too big, I have never seen such a big bear, and I also shot ten poisonous arrows at it, and it has nothing to do." Brother Agoura thinks that this bear god is an apostle sent by the gods, and I think it is indeed a bit dazzling, and now the ancestral gods have issued special edicts, I think, it should be the ancestral gods to correct his misunderstandings. ”

The patriarch nodded: "Makes sense!" It is indeed strange and unusual for the Apostle and the Bear God to appear at the same time this time, and Agoura can't be mistaken if he has this idea, once we get the target wrong, the consequences are serious. ”

Another Centurion said, "Our goal is always to prioritize the elimination of the Apostolic Horde, and this time is no different. It's just that we found a bear god that might pose a threat to us, so the ancestral god specially reminded us. The ancestral god has not changed his main policy, but it is also inconvenient to take revenge on the bear god because he does not know the bear god, but I think that the ancestral god must still have some thoughts about the bear god, provided that we have the strength to destroy the apostle! ”

Everyone nodded: "Makes sense!" If it is the ancestral god, if it is found that the divine beast will definitely possess it, but the divine beast must be strong, and the ancestral god is not at ease with our strength because of the death of Agoura, so he does not mention any impromptu response, obviously he does not want us to go to the trouble of the divine beast too early. ”

The patriarch finally gave instructions: "It seems that this is the way things are!" Then let's destroy this apostle first, and then find a way to deal with this bear god. It's still the original plan, collect forage to feed the war horses during the day tomorrow, and then attack the tribe on the other side while it's dark and night! ”

The crowd agreed in unison.

And then only one last thing remains. Batu struggled and spoke: "Patriarch, my bow...... The corpse of the Agoura brothers is still with the bear god, I want to find it tomorrow, and I will go to scout the bear god on the way, what if this bear god leaves? ”

At this time, the most regrettable is Batu, the Thorren Clan regards the bow as a second life, and the most important and vulnerable part of the bow is the bowstring, when you don't fight, the bow is not winded. Now that the bow has fallen into the snow, it is very likely to be damaged by the heavy snow freeze, and once it is damaged, Batu will become a salted fish, and there is basically no possibility of making meritorious contributions.

The patriarch frowned: "You go alone?" ”

Batu said in a sullen voice: "Please also ask the patriarch to send at least one person with him, in case something happens to me, at least one person will come back to report the news." ”

The patriarch asked them, "What do you mean?" ”

Although the expedition of only 100 people was also very tight, and all kinds of horses, weeds, chopping wood, sentry, reconnaissance, and guarding women all needed manpower, but this was not a reason for the fierce race to ignore the death of the treasure nobles!

Everyone quickly agreed: "Agora can't die in vain, let's bring back the corpse and see it!" Even if the other party is a bear god, he should know how Agoura died. ”

The patriarch said in a deep voice: "Let Hela Khan accompany Batu, give my champion horse to Hela Khan, and find a horse with better physical strength for Batu, let them rest in the roasting horse tent, gather today's forage and horse food to feed them, and then set off early tomorrow morning." ”

Batu was stunned: "Hela Khan! The first warrior to accompany me? ”

The patriarch said solemnly: "Facing the divine beast? Could there be a better candidate than him? ”

……

Wang Qiang and Ah Duo herded horses all the way along the riverbank forest. Wang Qiang saw the results of the test, the horse also gnawed the bark, but the bark was frozen and could not be gnawed, mainly using hooves to cut the ice and snow to find dead grass, and then pulled out the roots of the grass and ate a piece of soil.

What does it mean to eat soil? That's it! Wang Qiang has nothing to say about his admiration for the tenacity of this horse's life. Wang Qiang remembered the racehorses supported by the rich men in the betting racecourse, which sounded good to be called pure-blooded noble uncle horses, and the ugly thing to say was that the inbreeding resistance was weak, and the paper paste horses that accidentally ate some coarse grains were thin. Compared to those rich horses, this long-haired horse is simply a divine beast! Why did such a strong species become extinct?

Well, strong to strong, seeing that it is so hard to forage for food, Wang Qiang couldn't bear it, so he took out more than a dozen catties of millet from his bag and fed it.

Now, Wang Qiang can basically confirm three things: First, he chose the right start of winter, and the other party is very affected, and they have not yet opened to the point of ignoring the season, especially this ice age. That is, once the opponent has been consumed for a long time, it is possible that the opponent will give up the attack and come back in the spring?

Second, it is impossible for the other party to dispatch many people tomorrow. After all, they are bear gods, and even if they have the courage to slaughter gods, they don't have horse food for slaughtering gods, so the most they can do is send a few horses to scout the bear god or recover the knight's corpse.

Third, as long as the other party does not have many people and horses, and the horse food is insufficient, he can go to the mountains early to burn the beacon fire to lure them away and consume their horses!

Although the difficulty of this third point is also quite large, the difficulty is not as desperate as previously thought! The point is that the combined weight of himself and Ah Duo is not as heavy as that knight, and our mounts still have an advantage. Well, after all, it's 5.0 difficulty, and what I can think of is really limited, and other unreliable factors can only hope that the tribe on the other side of the river is strong enough to hold back the other party, or the remnants appear......

The war horse that had eaten ten catties of horse food really recovered a lot, and Wang Qiang and Ah Duo rode back to the bank of the Xiongdong River again. At this time, Sister Hua and the others were close to finishing their work on skinning the jackals, and a raging fire was ignited again in the bear cave, and the clansmen were baking the bloody linings of animal skins on the fire.

Seeing Wang Qiang coming back, Sister Hua and the others looked forward to it happily: "Did the chief find anything?" ”

Wang Qiang smiled: "I found that the enemy may not be very good......

Speaking of this, Wang Qiang said very solemnly: "I have an idea, most of the enemies will come tomorrow, but the number is definitely not much, I will go to light a fire to lead away the enemy, but I will leave you with two ice crossbows, if someone is not led away, he finds the tree hole where you are, you continue to use the ice crossbow to guard the hole, just like killing that person today!" ”

Sister Hua exclaimed: "Give us both weapons?" What about the chieftains? ”

Wang Qiang smiled bitterly: "In the face of such a strong opponent, I don't think it's useful for me to bring weapons, I'm only responsible for running away, the key is to ensure your safety." Anyway, go back to the hollow of the tree when you're done with the jackals, the snow should drown out your footprints tonight, and as long as no one has left a footprint, we can guarantee deception. As for me, I stayed in this bear cave for the night, after all, the horse was too big to enter the tree hole, so I had to live here. ”

Ah Duo asked, "What about me?" ”

Wang Qiang smiled: "As long as you know how to ride a horse, what do you say?" ”

Ah Duo said resolutely: "I'll stay with the chief!" ”

Sister Hua said solemnly: "Okay, the two leopard skins we peeled off just now are roasted, and we will stay here to keep the chief warm." By the way, since it is safe to leave no human footprints, this group of skinned jackals is obviously done by people, so let's just burn it on fire. ”

Wang Qiang nodded: "It's okay, anyway, the other party is coming over tomorrow, it doesn't matter if you burn the fire tonight, the bear god burned it, they love to believe it or not......"
