Chapter 9 The Journey
Two days later, one early morning, Ning Chuan returned to the tribe's place, the tent and the tribe's flag were still there, and the people of the tribe were still waiting for their return.
Ning Chuan didn't disturb their dreams, first walked around the tribe, and found that the people who went out with them at the beginning did not come back, and they might never come back!
"Ah, Ning Chuan is back!"
An exclamation woke Ning Chuan from his contemplation, and the others also got up one after another, looking at Ning Chuan in surprise, a dark-skinned woman came out of the tent, looking at Ning Chuan's lips trembling slightly, and tears glistening in her eyes.
Ning Chuan came to the woman's side, knelt on the ground, and said with a slight cry: "Mother, father, they ......."
Arlene, Ning Chuan's mother, her face was flat at the moment, and she couldn't see any other expression on the surface, just calm.
"I know that surviving around this dense forest, I can think about it a long time ago, this is fate!"
Ning Chuan stood up suddenly, looked at his mother's face with burning eyes, and said firmly: "I don't believe in fate, I only believe in my own strength!" β
Arlene was silent for a while, and didn't say anything more, but Ning Chuan looked at the few people left in the tribe, and continued to say to her mother: "I plan to wander the grassland and be a lone wolf, and when I have strength, I will come back!" β
Arlene's eyes flashed, worried, worried, uneasy, and complicated emotions appeared one after another in her gaze, but she still chose to be silent.
"But before that, I'll take the tribe to the jungle, and I hope you can survive there!"
As soon as Ning Chuan's voice fell, a three or four-year-old girl on the side spoke, and her voice was crisp and pitying, "Brother Ning Chuan!" So where do we have something to eat? β
The little girl didn't have a name yet, and although she was naΓ―ve, her problem was something that the rest of the tribe wanted to know, after all, if there was no food, even in a safe place, she would die.
Seeing that Ning Chuan nodded vigorously, he smiled at the girl: "Of course there is, there is meat to eat!" β
Ning Chuan planned to take them to collect the corpses of those beasts and make them into jerky for storage, so many corpses of the beasts could be made into these people to eat for at least two or three years.
This is also due to the small number of people in the tribe, Ning Chuan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Since it has been decided, it is without further ado, who knows when the people of the Rainstorm Wolf Thieves and the Black Bear Tribe will come.
With this group of people, Ning Chuan's speed suddenly slowed down a lot, after all, most of them were old and weak women and children, not only was their speed slow, but their endurance was also not good.
It took three months for Ning Chuan to take them to find a place near a stream in the dense forest, which was a natural valley with only one entrance, so it was much safer.
Then Ning Chuan took a few people with a little strength to collect the corpses of the beast clan, most of the beast clan here died in that battle, and only a few of them were still frightened by that battle, so it was safe for the time being.
Perhaps because of the strength of the beasts here, the corpses did not decay, and even the blood was still red.
They no longer have a felt room, but the flag is still planted in a high place, next to the bonfire, Ning Chuan looked at his mother's calm face, and said, "Mother, since everything has been settled, then I will leave tomorrow!" β
Arlene nodded and didn't say much, eating the meat in his hand silently, Ning Chuan didn't speak, since his father died, he found that he seemed to have grown up overnight, while his mother had become dull.
At night, when everyone was asleep, Ning Chuan quietly got up and left, just took the single horn of the iron-armored dragon rhinoceros, and when he passed by his mother, he leaned over and pulled the animal skin on his mother's body upward, and left alone.
Arlene lay in the hide, did not turn to see her son leave, nor did she open her eyes, but there were tears in the corners of her eyes......
Walking out of the dense forest again and coming to the old site of the tribe, Ning Chuan's heart was full of thoughts, and at this moment he really felt a huge pressure on his shoulders.
Suddenly, he seemed to understand why he wanted to become strong, not for the pride of the Beixing clan, but to protect something important in his heart, maybe someone, or maybe his father's last wish.
A stream of air emerged from Ning Chuan's dantian, it was the internal qi of the Qi Realm, Ning Chuan came back to his senses and hurriedly suppressed it, now is not the time to let the Qi grow.
Since Cang Feng gave him a dragon bone and a dragon soul, if he didn't reach the power of the dragon elephant and advanced to the level of internal qi, wouldn't he be disappointed by his own dragon bones.
He suppressed this wisp of qi, and suppressed it in the dantian, at this time, it was not without benefit to produce a sense of qi, after his strength reached the power of the dragon elephant, the seeds of this internal qi would erupt.
At that time, his strength will also be stronger with the strength of his internal qi, maybe he will be able to reach ten times, or even a hundred times the power of the dragon elephant!
The sky of the steppe was blue, and there were many eagles circling and flying on it, but none of them dared to come down, and they were all cautious.
Ning Chuan traveled to the east, he wanted to enter the eastern land, where it is said that there are many sects that can make people better and more systematically powerful.
And on the land of Zhongzhou, it is said that there are many strong people who dominate one side, there is not like this on the grassland, the tribal crowd is scattered, it is said that there is not only the strength of the respect, but also there are many peculiar means, colorful.
Ning Chuan looked up at the sky, he had been out of the dense forest for more than three months, the vastness of the grassland was far beyond his imagination, and seeing that there was a tribe not far away, Ning Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The aimless march is torturous, and it is gratifying to be able to see human beings.
Ning Chuan walked over, this tribe is much bigger than the Beixing clan, there is a flag at the door, the material of the animal skin Ning Chuan can't see it, I saw a cyan swallow painted on it, this tribe has three felt houses alone, surrounded by fences, and there are people in it who are constantly walking, it seems to be patrolling.
Seeing Ning Chuan's figure, a majestic man holding a bone spear stopped him and said sharply: "That child, are you from that tribe?" What are you doing here? β
Ning Chuan looked up at him, pretending to be pitiful, and said with a crying voice: "Our tribe was attacked by wolves and thieves, and I am the only one left, I hope to be able to let me join you, I have great strength!" β
The man was a little embarrassed, Ning Chuan's expression was very sincere, the name of the wolf thief on the grassland can be said to be very loud, every day there are tribes destroyed by the wolf thief, he is also a victim of it, fortunately, someone here took him in.
He was very sympathetic to Ning Chuan's experience, so he said to Ning Chuan: "Okay, I'll go and ask the leader!" β
The man instructed the few people next to him to give Ning Chuan food and water, while he himself trotted towards the felt room in the center.
Ning Chuan was eating dry food, although this thing was not as delicious as meat, but it was a rare thing, and Ning Chuan rarely ate it, so at this moment he devoured it, which made people believe that he was fleeing.
After a while, the man walked out with a woman in her thirties, and Ning Chuan was a little puzzled, could it be that the leader of this tribe was a woman, or a woman in her thirties?
Sure enough, the man introduced to Ning Chuan: "This is our leader, you can call her Aunt Hongyan!" β
The woman didn't refute either, after all, Ning Chuan didn't look like she was twelve or thirteen years old, and it wasn't an exaggeration to call her aunt.
"What's the name of your original tribe, and how old is it?" Hongyan asked.
"My name is Ning Chuan, I was born in a small tribe, and I am almost nine years old this year!"
Ning Chuan's innocent expression won Hongyan's favor, Taishou touched Ning Chuan's head, and said softly: "Poor child, in the future, you will treat this place as your home, this place is called Feiyan Tribe!" β
Ning Chuan didn't say the name of his tribe, Hongyan is not surprised, only the tribe with a flag on the grassland will have a name, in Hongyan's opinion, Ning Chuan is just a small tribe, a wandering tribe, there is nothing strange without a name.
Hongyan took Ning Chuan into the tribe and gave the man a look, and the man immediately understood and shouted loudly: "Everyone gather!" β
Hongyan said in Ning Chuan's ear: "His name is Shanta, he is our patrol leader, our tribe has a total of one hundred and thirty-six people, three hunting teams, and one patrol team. β
Ning Chuan nodded secretly, this is a tribal standard staffing, like the Beixing clan tribe, there is only one unstable hunting team, there is no patrol, there are too few people.
When everyone came, everyone looked at Ning Chuan, with curiosity and pity in their eyes.
Hongyan looked at everyone, and then said, "This is a new member of our tribe, Ning Chuan. β
No one spoke, let alone spoke, the tribes on the grassland were destroyed all the time, and naturally new people joined other tribes every moment, and they were all commonplace, and even some of them were the same as Ning Chuan.
After introducing Ning Chuan, Hongyan let them disperse, and they went their own ways, just to get to know Ning Chuan, so as not to know each other when they didn't know.
Night came quickly, and Ning Chuan walked out of the dense forest and joined the first tribe, and for now, the leader and the others were still good.
It's just that this tribe is not safe, and it may be destroyed at any time.
Maybe it was the first time he left his parents, Ning Chuan couldn't sleep, Shanta walked over, patted Ning Chuan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Can't you sleep?" β
Ning Chuan didn't speak, Shanta didn't care, and continued: "I can understand you, I also came here after the destruction of the tribe, but I have been here for three years. β
After thinking about it, Shanta's face became a little complicated, and he said to Ning Chuan: "Actually, you shouldn't come here!" β
Ning Chuan suddenly turned his head to look at the mountain tower, a little puzzled by his words, the mountain tower sighed, and then said: "In fact, the Feiyan tribe will soon disperse, and the leader of the Manniu tribe ten miles away wants to let the leader of the Hongyan tribe be his woman, and he wants to annex the Feiyan tribe even more. β
"This is a common thing on the grassland, but the leader of the red swallow has just died of her husband, and she is unwilling to marry someone else, a few days ago, the Barbarian Niu tribe sent someone to give an ultimatum, so that the leader of the red swallow will think about it for half a month, if they still don't agree, they will send a hunting team to deal with the Feiyan tribe!"
Shanta's mood was very heavy when he said these words, and Ning Chuan was also very complicated when he listened, if it weren't for the remote location of the Beixing clan tribe and the proximity to the dark and dense forest, I am afraid that his mother would not be able to escape this fate.
"Okay, I'm just letting you be prepared, you can rest first!"
Shanta continued to patrol, but Ning Chuan looked at the back of Shanta leaving, looked at the felt room where Hongyan lived, and his heart fluttered, this is weakness, weakness is a sin!
