Chapter 36: Forward
The cannibal flowers are gorgeous and colorful, and usually the tribesmen will avoid them from afar, but this time the cannibal flowers hide themselves in a dense bush, which makes the warriors who are familiar with them trick.
As the stone leader diggs, he finally sees the dark purple rhizome of the man-eating flower.
"Ready to pick people up. ”
The stone leader said as he slammed the dagger into the rhizome with all his might.
"Poof. ”
The dark purple liquid flowed out, and the cannibal's tall neck shook violently, swaying back and forth like a dance, and then the warrior who had been swallowed was suddenly spit out.
The two warriors who were about to catch him immediately set off and ran towards the place where he had fallen.
"You retreat first, I'll be last. ”
The stone leader shouted, and his right hand had already pulled out all the arrows in the quiver, put the stone arrows into the purple liquid and soaked them, and then put them back into the quiver.
This liquid has a strong stunning effect, and as long as it enters the blood of the human body and beasts, it can make people faint in an instant, and it is a rare material.
If it weren't for the fact that one of the team members was devoured by the man-eating flower this time, its rhizome must be stimulated to make it spit out, and the hunting party usually does not like to provoke it.
And what is even more tragic about this man-eating flower is that it only blooms one flower bone, which causes it to only attack one person, so everyone is not attacked.
If you encounter a man-eating flower bush, it is a Jedi, and the warriors dare not enter it at all, even if they can defeat three or five totem warriors, they will die and live if they fall into it.
As the others withdrew, the stone leader kept whipping the rhizome of the man-eating flower, so that it could not attack the others.
When the warriors had withdrawn, Ran immediately led people to harass the man-eating flower with stones and sticks, and the stone leader took the opportunity to escape.
"Send him back, he can't keep up with the group. ”
The crowd gathered again, Captain Ran suggested.
At this time, the warrior who was devoured and spit out was in a state of fainting, and when he woke up, it would take a night, and it was obviously not suitable to continue to advance.
The stone leader looked up through the gap in the canopy and peeked at the position of the sun outside.
"It's dangerous in the jungle at night, so rest on the spot and continue your journey tomorrow. ”
Captain Ran thought about it and agreed with Leader Shi's idea.
To send this person back first, at least two totem warriors must protect him, so that the strength of the team is reduced by nearly half.
And it's getting dark, so whether it's a retreat or a forward, you have to find a safe place to rest and wait for dawn to continue your departure, so it's better to stay in place.
When stationed in the jungle, the first choice is to set up a safe house in advance, for example, on the third line where they came, there are several tree holes as safe houses.
When you sleep at night, you can plug the hole in the safe house with stones, this kind of tree hole is specially set up, the entrance is small and the belly is large, it is very easy to plug, and it is very safe to stay overnight.
In the absence of a safe house, the canopy became the preferred choice.
At night, there are often fierce beasts foraging in the jungle, if you choose to be on the ground, you must be prepared to fight in all directions, and in addition to some snakes and birds in the canopy, there are few other fierce beasts involved.
And the person in charge of night duty is also very easy, only need to guard a little below the canopy, and basically protect the sleeping comrades in the entire canopy.
If you want to do it more strictly, there is one more person to guard the people, and one up and one down is enough, unlike below, at least four people are needed to protect everyone.
A large canopy was chosen, and everyone climbed up it, and the jungle was not suitable for ignition, so they could only eat frozen fish.
For the warriors, they were already familiar with this way of survival, but they were still a little uncomfortable when they entered the jungle so deeply.
As night approached, many of the warriors could not sleep, and from time to time they could hear the beasts gasping as they passed under the trees, which made them instinctively vigilant.
The night was quite frightening, but in the second half of the night, I don't know what fierce beast found them, and they slapped under the tree for a while.
Captain Ran thought that the tree would be broken by the beast, but if it weren't for Leader Shi waving his hand at him, he almost couldn't help but let his teammates move on the canopy.
You must know that this is a very dangerous move, it is likely to attract more fierce beasts, and even attract fierce beasts that can climb trees, and he can't imagine how bad the scene will be.
This made him not sleep well for the rest of the night, but the stone chief, after waving his hand to him, slept quietly, and no matter how the trunk of the tree shook, he did not move.
Under the first rays of sunlight in the morning, Leader Shi opened his eyes, he didn't sleep well this night, but at least he was better than other warriors, this is determined by his mentality.
"Is it still down there?"
Leader Shi asked.
Captain Ran, who had not slept all night, shook his head: "I left before dawn." ”
"The warrior is awake?"
Captain Ran knew that he was asking the injured one, and nodded to indicate that he was awake.
"Grab a bite to eat and get ready to go. ”
After making sure that there was no problem, Leader Shi took out the dried fish from his arms and shared the food with Captain Ran.
He could tell that Captain Ran hadn't slept all night, but for the totem warriors, it wasn't much of a problem.
Compared to ordinary people, totem warriors have more energy.
After eating, the people descended from the canopy in turn and continued their journey westward.
At this point, there is no road at all, and every step they take is a new exploration, and there are even warriors who are responsible for marking codes on the trees.
The code indicates that someone has walked it, but it is not determined whether it is safe or not, and only a path that has been walked three times in a row in a month and has not encountered any danger can be determined as a safe route.
At the moment, this path is clearly not suitable.
In the morning, they saw a sleeping rhinoceros, a herbivore that was not territorial, but if it saw them when they were awake, it would have to fight.
The crowd did not dare to wake it, bypassed the sleeping rhinoceros, continued on its way, and marked the road with a sign of danger, and the crowd continued on its way.
During the lunch break, Leader Shi and Captain Ran determined the direction of their journey, which required climbing to the highest canopy of the nearby tree to look into the distance, and they had to be sure that there was no danger before they could do so.
After adjusting the route of progress, they discussed several contingency plans, but everything could only be regarded as a rainy day, and neither of them knew what kind of fierce beasts they would encounter in front of them.
The rest of the path, if you walk in a straight line and accelerate with all your might, will be half a day, but obviously no one dares to put forward such an idea.
The closer you get to the green meteorite, the more fierce beasts there are, this is already the consensus of the Fire Tribe people's cognition, and no one objects to this.
The next road will only be more dangerous than before, and the two must be more cautious.
