Three days later, in the morning, four men from the Fire tribe placed the captive on a square net made of vines and plants, and tied him to the net again to prevent him from accidents. After the four of them pulled one of the heads of the net, their wings and flying figures were blocked by the mountain.

Bai Min sighed and said, "Hey! Those messy fields and crops have to be sorted out from scratch again! ”

Huo Man smiled: "I'm almost getting used to it. ”

Bai Min wanted to say: You are so cheap, and the words came out of his mouth: "I really have you, I admire it!" ”

Huo Man couldn't hear that it was Bai Min who teased him: "Really? ”

Bai Min solemnly said: "Really! I admire you for this, you can afford to put it down. ”

"Can you afford to put it down? What does this mean? ”

"Check it out for yourself."

Huo Man looked at him suspiciously: "Don't be a good word, right?" ”

Bai Min looked at Huo Man with a biased face and said with a smile: "Absolutely good words, you can find out if you check it." You're just a little suspicious sometimes, which isn't good. ”

"Hey, hey! Am I like that? ”

"Are we friends?"

"Yes!"

"That's right! If you're a friend, don't have any suspicions about each other, right? ”

Huo Man felt that this was Bai Min's heartfelt words, and was a little moved: "Don't worry, it won't be in the future!" After a while: "Your friend is just better than Cha." ”

"Why? Chad is also a good person! ”

Huo Man looked disdainful: "He! I think he just looks down on me. ”

"What does this mean? Where do you see that? ”

"Sometimes he just doesn't pay attention to me."

Bai Min wanted to say: It's just that his surname is different from others, but his essence is a good person. Then I thought: Why did I say so decently: "That's it!?" ”

In the middle of the night after another six or seven days, Huo Man woke up Bai Min again: "They came to steal the crops again, hum!" This time it was even more powerful, and there were about thirty or forty people coming. ”

Bai Min was lying down, and he didn't bother to get out of his sleeping bag: "It seems that it's really a good person who has nothing to report!" ”

Huoman: "They thought we were afraid of them, so they dared to be so unscrupulous. ”

"Does the chief know?"

Huoman nodded: "Got it." Bai Min got up from the sleeping bag on the grass bed.

Huoman: "Don't go. ”

"No! The leaders are all moving, and it is not appropriate for me not to go. ”

On the side of the platform, Huo Man and Bai Min listened to the leader's guidance on what to do. The leader said, and Huo Man casually translated: "The leader said that all the adult men should be dispatched. Although we have few people, we may not be able to defeat them, but we can't watch them spoil the crops, which will make these thieves look down on them. ”

In the valley, there were many enemy torches, and Bai Min didn't bother to count them. But it can be seen that the enemy is already on guard, because the torches are all in a large circle, and the enemy picks and destroys the crops in the circle of torches.

The leader of Huoyue still used Bai Min's tactics last time, but he repeatedly told him not to fall in love with the battle, and if he couldn't fight, he must retreat.

Twenty minutes later, the image of flapping wings again, in the background of the torches, up and down, left and right, back and forth, and sometimes flipped up.

The battle is over. It took a long time for them to return to the entrance of the cave, and a few of them were already injured from the difficult movements they flew back. Huo Man also looked tired when he returned.

Bai Min looked anxious: "Are you all back?" ”

Huo Man hurriedly said: "There are still two serious injuries that can't fly, I'll come back and get the rattan net." Only to carry them back. ”

Bai Min: "Is it heavy?" ”

Huoman: "Hmm! He spoke to the chief for a while, and then went straight to the cave. After a short time, Huo Man and one of his companions flew straight into the valley with a net. At the bottom of the valley, there was also a torch burning, and it seemed that this was where the injured Fire Tribal personnel were staying.

The two nets were carried up to the platform by a few companions with difficulty, and as soon as they put down the nets, one of the companions of the two nets sat down on the ground.

Huoman also slowly sat on the ground: "I'm really tired today. ”

Bai Min looked at the spread rattan net: "It's hard work, hey!" How can I look at the three people in the net? ”

Huoman: "One of them is a captive. ”

Bai Min smiled: "I caught another one, not bad!" ”

Huoman rested for a while, as if he had recovered his strength, stood up and talked to the leader for a while, then turned to Bai Min: "Go back and rest!" ”

While walking towards the cave, Bai Min asked, "Did you and the leader talk about dealing with the prisoners?" ”

"Hmm!"

"What did the leader say about it?"

"Heal your wounds, and then send them back to their tribe!"

"I'm in favor of the chief's approach, too."

"You're in favor of it too? Will they come again and spoil the crop? ”

Bai Min shrugged: "Take one step at a time, we can do it three or four times, and we can endure it eight times out of ten." After so many times, see if they are embarrassed to come again?! ”

Huo Man smiled bitterly: "Yes! If this is really a big problem, we will not be their opponents in terms of numbers. What you say is very practical, we can only admit it. Go to sleep! ”

Bai Min was lying on the bed, tossing and turning and unable to sleep, he thought about what he had said to Huo Man: he gave it up three or four times, and he admitted it eight times out of ten. After ten times and eight times, what will happen if this plains tribe really doesn't come? Well? Will the two tribes be reconciled from now on? Well, it's very likely, it's who I often bother, and he doesn't care about his past suspicions, and I'll be embarrassed to bother him again, and I'll be grateful first, and then fix it with him later. It can't be like this, in this case, don't the people of this tribe listen only to the chief? Isn't the status of the leader higher? If you want to rule these uncivilized primitive people in the future, you can't pass the level of the leader? No, you have to find a way to plant the seeds of hatred between them, so that it is possible to let yourself ride on such a lever. In what way?

The night was deeper, and the people of the Fire Tribe who had been tired all day had already fallen asleep, not to mention that many of them had been tossing for half a night, and they had long wished that the night could be longer, so as to leave a longer time to rest and sleep.

A black shadow quietly touched the place where the captive was being held, and the black shadow paused for a while, as if observing the captive's surroundings, and after confirming that there was no guard, he touched the captive. Ten minutes later, the shadow left.

In the early morning, Huo Mi and his companions cooked meals for dozens of people. When everyone had basically finished eating, he took a bowl and walked to the place where the wounded prisoner was. She held the bowl with one hand and pushed the wounded captive with the other, but there was no movement, and after pushing several times in succession, she did not see the captive make any even faint movements, and she looked at the captive's head again, and pointed to the captive's wide open eyes staring at her without moving. The frightened Huomi sat down on the ground, the bowl was out of his hand, and the food juice that had fallen on the ground was scattered all over the ground. She looked at the captive's eyes again in disbelief, and saw that those eyes really couldn't move as they did when they were alive. She froze for a moment, got up and left quickly. Not long after, the leader, Huo Man, Bai Min, and five or six other people gathered at the place where the captives were lying.

The chief himself examined the captives for a while, and said something to everyone with a sad face, and the scene fell into silence, so quiet that the rapid breathing of some of the hurried people could be heard clearly. Huo Man was also stunned with his mouth half-open. Bai Min pushed Huoman and whispered, "What's wrong with the captive?" ”

Huoman replied in a whisper, "Dead." ”

Bai Min looked puzzled: "It's dead!" Why are you going to die? ”

"I don't know, I guess the injury is too serious!"

Bai Min let out a long sigh: "Hey! How do you send it back? ”

After Huo Man asked the leader, he said to Bai Min, "The leader has to think about it. ”

Five days have passed, and Bai Min knows about the prisoner's corpse, but he still hasn't figured out what to use to solve it. He estimated that the results should be almost in the next two days, and the results would definitely not be good. He thought about it, although it was a lack of morality that he had done, he couldn't sit here with Huo Man and them, and it was safe to go back to the base as soon as possible.

Taking advantage of the lunch break for a while, Bai Min pulled Huoman to find a high ridge on the edge of the nearby crop field where no one was working, and sat down on Huoman's shoulder.

"Hey! Huoman, I want to tell you, I think! You've mastered all the growing techniques, so what! I want to go back to base. ”

Huo Man didn't answer immediately, lowered his head and took a soil particle in his hand, and played with it one by one: "Isn't it a little fast?" Why do I think our crops are not growing as well as in your fields? ”

"How can it! You're mistaken! ”

Huo Man couldn't refute: "Maybe! However, you see, during this time, our crops were always stolen and trampled by the tribes of the plains. We haven't encountered anything like this that happened suddenly, and we didn't dare to move many things when you weren't there, and we didn't know how to move. I think it's better for us to be more skilled, and the yield of crops in the field can stabilize before you go. ”

Bai Min said: "Actually, I also know this knowledge, and I have taught you everything I know. As for your lack of proficiency! After a while, you'll become fluent. Without a certain amount of training, who can be proficient - not immortals. Besides, we have a communicator in your hand, if you have any questions, you can just ask in the communicator. ”

"No matter how you say it, it's not as good as teaching it face-to-face."

Bai Min smiled: "You know this, too?" ”

Huo Man smiled: "This is what they taught me when I was in your base." ”

Bai Min: ""

Bai Min didn't say anything, but Huo Man still didn't want to agree: "Then let's do it!" I'll tell Ivan that he thinks you can go, and we won't force you to stay. That's okay, right? ”

Huoman carried Ivan out, and Bai Min was embarrassed: "Okay! ”

Huo Man smiled: "You wait, I'll look for Ivan later." ”

Huoman got up from the ridge and turned on the communicator as he walked. Bai Min pricked up his ears and only heard the words: "Mr. Ivan", and he couldn't hear clearly. Bai Min was anxious in his heart, and his face was looking like he was watching the scenery.

The valley is not completely enclosed, and the summit of the cave extends lower and lower to the north of the ridge, and the lowest point borders the base of a low hill opposite the valley. The ridge on the top of the hill where the entrance is located to the south is getting lower and lower, but suddenly a cliff is formed, and a small stream flows through it. From the field, the clouds in the sky blend with the ground and are black. On the side of the thick cloud towards the ground, it seemed to have been scraped by something, but the tools of the scraping were not good, and it left a series of ravines, and on top of it it grew into a round bag—large, small, flattened, one after another, one on top of one or more. There are also clouds shaped like animals, shaped like flowers and birds, shaped like trees, in short, what you think it looks like in your eyes. Between the gray-black sky and the gray-black or earthy yellow mountains, there is a mosaic of gray-black vegetation. These natural shapes and colors are truly beautiful that people can't put into words. And now Bai Min is just looking at everything here, he is not in the mood to appreciate this beautiful and picturesque scenery.

Hey! A few kilometers away in the bushes seemed to have animals coming over, three, five, and one more behind. Their bodies would jump up and down with the high and low ground, and the farther ones were covered by the dust that rolled up, and sometimes they could peek out of the dust. Oh! There's a whole bunch of them! Are you here to catch fish in the river? If you can swim a few fish in such a stream, you won't need so many people! There are too many fish compared to the number of people! Are you here to steal the crops? It's not good at night! He must have come to be captured. Bai Min hurriedly shouted and turned around and used the communicator to say endlessly: "Hey! And say it! Hey, Huoman, call you! ”

Huoman stopped and looked at Bai Min: "What's the matter?" ”

Bai Min pointed in the direction of doubt: "Look! ”

Huoman: "What's the matter?" His eyes looked in the direction Bai Min pointed: "It's nothing?" ”

Bai Min said impatiently: "Look further away, take a closer look." Huoman stared for a moment. Bai Min: "See?" ”

Before Huo Man could react, he lowered his head and prepared to call: "Hmm! Do you know what it does? ”

Bai Min was so anxious that he couldn't speak clearly: "It's for the captive, it must be!" ”

"Captive? Yo! Not good! He looked around, and hurried to one of his companions, pointing in the direction of the enemy, and in a few moments the companion flew in the direction of the mouth of the cave. Huoman turned around and saw Bai Min standing in place: "Tell everyone to run!" ”

Bai Min reflected: "Wow! Hurry up to the crowded place, shouting as you go, "Go back to the cave!" The enemy is coming. It's a pity that he didn't understand what he said, and he still stood there laughing and watched him go crazy. Huoman's companions immediately spread their wings and left, but he saw that Bai Min's companions around him hadn't moved yet, and he was anxious to spread his wings at this distance, and flew near Bai Min with the crops on the ground, shouting as he flew, and pointed in the direction where the enemy came. Now that they understood, they all panicked and dropped everything in their hands—what kind of labor tools, seedlings, etc.—and began to fly in a mess.

Bai Min: "Hey! Fireman, what about me? I can't fly. ”

"Don't worry!"

Bai Min looked around for a moment, and saw two people from the Fire Tribe flying to his side with rattan nets. Then the three of them pushed Bai Min into the net and pulled up the corner of the net, "Hula!" Hula! The wings flew up. The dust raised by the flapping of his wings hit Bai Min's face, and some entered his eyes, his hands were soft and his eyes wanted to protect his face, but he was a little too busy.

By the time they reached the platform at the entrance of the cave, more than two dozen men of the Huoman tribe who were adults or about to become adults, or even a few half-grown children, had already joined the crowd. The platform was a bit small, and a few flew to the surrounding trees without being able to get down.

The shadow of the enemy has not yet appeared, so everyone is still relaxed, some of them are fighting, some are chatting, some are exchanging their weapons, and they are weighing whether it is going to be smooth. Bai Min counted it roughly, and estimated that all the men had come out. They were not empty-handed, but some had sticks and stones. Didn't they know that there was going to be a battle, and they started preparing a few days ago? Bai Min thought.

Bai Min didn't see Huoman appear in the crowd, and when he went to the cave, he met him at the entrance of the cave: "Do I have a weapon?" ”

"Forget it, I'll send three people to use rattan nets to protect you to the top of the mountain to hide, and you can see that we only have three people to send."

"How can that be! I've got to fight with you, and I'm a man. ”

"That's not good, you are our guest, the person I asked Ivan for at the beginning, I can't explain to Ivan if something happens to you, and another one, we can still fly and evacuate quickly if we can't beat it, what can you do?"

"I used to be a soldier, practiced martial arts, and later did security work, so the enemy may not be able to take advantage of me."

"That's not going to work, besides, do you know them? Have you fought with them? ”

"Then I'll take care of the woman and the child, right?"

"No, they've moved to other tribes."

"Why didn't I see it?"

Huo Man: "The ones left now are the most agile among women, haven't you seen that there are very few ladies these days?" Even those who stay are the best ones that the body can transfer quickly. ”

The crowd was agitated, and Huo Man: "The enemy is coming, you should move quickly." ”

"What about you?"

"Of course I'm protecting you."

Huo Man called the other two companions, and after a short time, he used a rattan net to fly Bai Min along the steep wall on the entrance of the cave, circling and flying, and hurriedly sent him to the top of the mountain dozens of meters high from the entrance of the cave. There, Bai Min, Huo Man, and his two companions were able to see the whole valley, so they could also decide whether to stay or move according to the situation of the battle, which Huo Man had arranged well.

Bai Min and the others didn't say a word at this moment, only focusing on the movements of the Huoman tribe and the plains tribe in this valley.

The tribes of the plains at the bottom of the valley must have been one hundred and fifty. They slowly converge towards a center, and that central point may be the leader or leader of the enemy. A plains tribe man left their crowd and moved towards the platform. Bai Min wondered: Are you here to negotiate? Are you here to ask for someone? Or is it the one who wrote the war??

The man from the Plains Tribe climbed another steep slope to the platform, and was quickly surrounded by the people of the Fireman Tribe. After a while, two members of the Huoman tribe were carrying an object—it looked like a human form—and Bai Min estimated that it should be the dead captive, and walked down the valley with the plains tribesmen who had ascended to the platform.

There was still a few meters away from the crowd of the plains tribe, and the two people put down their things and turned to leave. After walking a few meters, he tried his best to spread his wings and fly in the direction of the platform.

At this time, the people of the Plains tribe had already surrounded the "thing" that had been carried over. After only a minute or two, the people of the Plains tribe dispersed like crazy. Bai Min also wondered, which play is this? Again, as they dispersed, some of the crops in the field were pulled out and trampled, and some were spread directly under their feet into one piece after another—just like the dough made by the earthlings.

Bai Min muttered to himself, and seemed to tell Huo Man about the grievances in his heart: "It's really a good person who can't do it." They had been stealing our crops over and over again, and we had done nothing to them. They were injured, and they were kind enough to treat them, and they were returned, hum! Is this the way to get repaid? Isn't it just a dead person? We didn't mean to. ”

Huo Man smiled bitterly: "See! How irrational people are for food. Why else would I have wanted to go to your base? He looked at the other two of his companions: "I have brought you here so that we can have enough to eat, and when we can eat enough, people will not do irrational things." It's okay, ruin it and plant it again! ”

Bai Min pointed to the valley: "How many times have I heard you say this?" Look again, is there an end to this? ”

Huoman shook his head and didn't answer.

While Bai Min was only paying attention to the communication between the two, he caught a glimpse of the people of the Plains tribe beginning to climb up to the entrance of the cave halfway up the mountain.

Bai Min: "It's not good, it's going to attack us." ”

"Humph! Needless to say? Let's withdraw! ”

Bai Min looked at the bottom of the mountain: "Where to retreat?" ”

"To the northeast, isn't there another tribe that is our friend—a tribe that can fly like us."

Bai Min thought to himself - the other tribes don't have to be decided by their leaders, maybe Huoman and their tribe will be annexed by this tribe. I've been here for a short time, and it's impossible for them to listen to me, let alone rule. Well! It's better to make another contribution to Ivan, so that he can completely relax on himself, and even fully trust what I will do in the future.

After thinking about it, he said to Huo Man: "Can't you not go?" I'll talk to Ivan to see if you can take a break from our first base. When you go to your friends, they can't eat enough, and if you go again, don't you add to their burden, dozens of people are dozens of mouths! ”

Huoman: "That's not okay, right? So many of us? ”

"Anyway, our base is basically empty, and besides, there is food that you can eat in the base, and we only use that food for research, not for eating. So be it! I'll get in touch with Ivan. ”

Huoman pointed down the mountain: "What if they attack you again!" We're going to feel sorry for you. ”

Bai Min was happy in his heart, didn't he just kill two birds with one stone! "They dare! We've got weapons, you've seen that. Not to mention the two hundred of them, even if they add ten of the same number, they will not be able to enter our base one step. With that, he turned on the communicator, gave a brief report on the situation here, and put forward the idea of letting nearly forty members of Huoman's tribe be stationed in the first base. As Bai Min expected, Ivan knew that his friend was in trouble, and there was nothing he didn't help. He said yes, and only told them to come to the base.

Bai Min smiled: "What's the matter? Hurry up and let your people know! ”

Huoman and one of his approaching companions muttered for a while, and the companion flew off the cliff.

At the entrance of the cave, the leader holds a thick, long wooden stick in both hands. The one who came down from the top of the hill told the leader about the fire man's plan, and the leader told him to reply to the fire man—he was more than willing to go to the first base, but that would have to wait until we fought the invading enemy.

Bai Min: "You should say it, so that the leaders won't suffer?" There are so many enemies! ”

Huoman asked himself: "I think we should fight, if we don't fight, we will give up, what will the enemy think of us in the future?" What about other tribes! They won't be able to afford us in the future. ”

"It's not that serious, is it?"

"I watched movies about your ancestors fighting, aren't they like this?"

"It's a movie, it's an artistic thing. Are you so smart to believe? ”

"How can you not believe that it is a spirit for you."

"The spirit of ghosts, in fact, once we see an opponent stronger than us, we have long run away to hide, fighting enemies stronger than ourselves, no one did this a thousand years ago."

Huo Man smiled: "We can rely on the support of a kind of spiritual power to have today, what about you!" Relying on developed science and technology is supported by material wealth. So you can't live anywhere on Earth, so you have to take refuge with us, right?"

Bai Min refused: "It's not!" We are too technologically advanced, and the earth needs us to come here to do scientific research. ”

"You don't have to argue, you can tell me everything."

Bai Min was still unconvinced: "He lied to you!" We don't know how good it is on Earth! ”

Huo Man smiled: "Yes! Bai Min wanted to say something, but Huo Man waved his hand and pointed: "Look down!" No, you have to leave quickly. ”

The people of the Plains tribe began to assemble at the edge of the platform at the entrance of the cave, and those who arrived first began to use their weapons to drive Huoman's companions into the cave. From a high place, Bai Min observed with his eyes and found that the people of Huoman and their tribe were much smaller than those of the Plains tribe, both in terms of the weapons they held and the size of their bodies: "Of course it's good to be able to fly, but the body is too thin," Bai Min muttered in a low voice.

Huoman: "What did you say?" ”

"Oh! It's nothing, just worry about your people. ”

There were a few members of the Fire Tribe who didn't dare to squeeze into the cave any longer, as they might be captured alive. They took advantage of the fact that they hadn't squeezed together, and there was still some gap between them and the roof of the cave, so they took the opportunity to fly up one after another. Watching their fighting movements is very desperate, but maybe the weapon is too light, so when it hits the enemy's body, it seems that the enemy has no reaction, because the enemy has no big reaction except for some of them being beaten one or two times. However, the enemy's weapon struck them, and the effect was somewhat obvious when they looked at it. There were two or three members of the Huoman tribe who might not be physically strong enough, or they might be too slow to dodge, and the loud screams of "whoops" who were hit by wooden sticks could be heard clearly by Bai Min from dozens of meters away. It seems that the Plains tribe is already familiar with dealing with Huoman and them-Bai Min thought.

Those who were injured had made some effort and were fine, and they all flew into the bushes on the nearby hills.

Fireman said a word to the rest of his companions, and they flew away.

Bai Min turned around and asked, "What is he going to do?" ”

Huoman had a painful expression on his face: "I asked him to go and see those injured brothers. ”

The leader's body is the tallest and strongest among the Huoman, and it is somewhat close to the plains tribe. The strongest leader, the wooden stick in his hand fluttered in front of him, sometimes sweeping at a nearby enemy, sometimes glancing at a gap in an enemy, and the tip of the wooden stick instantly struck the enemy's body. In this way, several enemies who approached the leader were really hit by him.

Whenever the enemy was hit by the leader, Huo Man clapped his hands and said, "Good! Bai Min smiled and shook his head.

Huoman: "What are you laughing at?" Didn't our chief fight well? ”

"Awesome! Well played! It's just that he played so well that I had to shake my head. You see! There are only a few of you who can fight like him, why is that? It's because he didn't pass on his skills to more of you, if more of you had the same skills as him, would you be where you are today? ”

"We!"

The companion sent by Huoman to inform the leader also flew away from the place of battle, and returned to Huoman and them, Huoman said a few words to him, and Huoman explained to Bai Min: "The leader must be the last to evacuate." ”

Bai Min: "There are so many enemies, in that case, isn't his situation too dangerous?" ”

"Don't worry! This is not the first time that our leader has been besieged in this way. ”

He said proudly to Bai Min again: "Hmm! There are many times! It was hunting, and it was not much easier than that, we were besieged by many wild beasts, and the leader did not rush out of the encirclement with everyone anyway, and he was the last to evacuate every time. ”

Bai Min thought to himself, with such ability, it was no wonder that he was elected as the leader. It seems that it will take a lot of effort to deal with the leader in the future: "Hmm! That's great! Such bravery should be the leader of a tribe. ”

Twenty minutes later, the leader staggered to the top of the mountain to meet Huoman and Bai Min. The upper body of the leader has a lot of dark black irregular marks. Bai Min knew that this was the reflection of Huo Man's injured skin, and the serious ones were like the leader, there would be a lot of scales up, and in some places the scales were even gone—it was estimated that they had fallen off without a trace.

Huoman briefly talked to the leader. The leader knew that he could take refuge in the first base, and his face showed a little relief after exhaustion. It seems that Huoman has not been less boastful of how good the condition of the first base is from the chief.

They did not dare to stay long, for fear that the enemy would chase them down the hillside. Huoman summoned a few of his companions and told them to quickly gather the others scattered nearby.

Huoman probably counted it, and knew that there were still a few that were not in place. In the end, he had to leave behind two of his companions from the Fire Tribe, telling them to stay and search everywhere.

After instructing the direction and location where the left-behind people were going, Huo Man and Bai Min, who was sitting in the rattan net, took the leader and the others, reluctantly bid farewell to their home, and flew towards the first base. (To be continued.) )
