Chapter 29: The Message
Day 3.
The team marched into a red forest.
Seeing that the sun was setting in the west, the team searched for a long time in the red penglin forest, but still did not find a cave to live in, so they had to find the largest red canopy tree as a place to spend the night.
As the name suggests, the leaves are dark red, and the canopy is very large, and the leaves are numerous, and it looks like a lotus canopy.
This area is full of this kind of red canopy trees, and the leaves are many and easy to fall, so that the ground is covered with thick red fallen leaves, like a red blanket.
After a hasty dinner, the group climbed up the tree.
The tree is large and it is not a problem to withstand a dozen people.
Everyone gave up the best position to Ye Xi, and Dahe put a soft animal skin on the trunk of the tree before letting Ye Xi lie down.
The other fighters were not treated so well, and some simply sat cross-legged and slept because the place was not big enough.
The last rays of the sun finally sank below the horizon, and the sky completely darkened.
The jungle became black, and the darkness seemed to obliterate everything.
Ye Xi has been here for so long, but it is the first time he has spent the night outside the cave.
In his memory, the nights here would have become dangerous and terrifying, and if they hadn't been forced to find a cave, Putai would never have chosen to spend the night in the trees.
The jungle at night is quiet and noisy.
During the day, the chirping of the animals was gone, but the subtle movement of the rope under the trees was continuous, and the glowing eyes flickered in the darkness from time to time.
Looking at the pitch-black jungle, I felt as if a terrifying monster would pounce out at any moment in this seeping darkness.
Ye Xi closed his eyes, so that he didn't want to think about it anymore.
Even if you worry, it's useless, according to your current force value, you can't do anything.
There were five warriors around who did not rest, holding their weapons and keeping an eye on their surroundings. They are the fighters in charge of the vigil tonight, and they will always be vigilant tonight to deal with all dangers.
Ye Xi lay down on the branches, his hands behind his head, and looked at the sky through the layers of tree shadows.
In the sky, a brilliant Milky Way ribbon stretches across, and countless bright or bright small stars dot the gaps in the night sky, like broken diamonds, and in the center of the night, a hazy red moon hangs high.
The moon here is red......
Ye Xi thought, no wonder the forest at night seems to be flushed with red, he also thought that the leaves were red, it turned out that the moonlight was also red.
After a day of traveling, his body was a little tired, staring at the moon in the sky, Ye Xi's consciousness gradually blurred and fell into a deep sleep.
......
The next day, he was woken up, and when he opened his eyes, Ye Xi was startled.
I saw that under the tree, it was densely packed with the corpses of hideous giant insects, as well as the corpses of ugly-looking monsters that could not be named.
Looking at the five soldiers who were on vigil, their eyes were bloodshot and their bodies were full of scars, they actually looked like they had fought all night.
And the warriors who did not have a vigil were also depressed.
When I asked, it turned out that it was because they were sleeping and snoring. The night watchmen were afraid that the snoring would draw things, so they had to wake them up and remind them to pay attention. As a result, they fell asleep and began to snore unconsciously, and then were pushed to wake up again.
Several times, they simply did not sleep and kept vigil together.
After not resting well all night, Putai saw that the soldiers were in low spirits, and ordered him to rest for an hour, and let the team set off again after an hour.
As if they had been pardoned, the warriors lay on their heads on the trees, and for a while the snoring of the warriors was heard one after another.
Ye Xi was the only one in the team who didn't snore, and after a night's rest, he was full of energy and consciously took on the task of watching the sentry.
There are so many insect corpses under the tree, which attracts many animals to come. They were very vigilant, and at first they looked cautiously to see that the warriors in the trees did not react, and they boldly dragged the insect corpses away one after another.
Soon, in addition to the insect blood under the tree, there was not a single insect corpse, the wind blew through the red canopy tree, the leaves fell in a rustle, and a layer was spread on the ground, and now, there was no trace of insect blood.
Ye Xi always looked around.
Suddenly seeing something, he frowned, and immediately pushed Pu Tai, who was sleeping with his eyes closed.
Pu Tai immediately opened his eyes, his eyes were blazing, and he didn't look sleepy at all: "What's wrong?"
Ye Xi pointed to the west and lowered his voice and said to him, "Over there, there are teams from other tribes coming. ”
Pu Tai was shocked, and hurriedly looked over there, but saw nothing.
"There's a real group of people coming. Ye Xi explained, "My eyesight has been transformed by different flowers, and I can see farther than you. ”
Pu Tai frowned, it is not a good thing to meet other tribes in the jungle, people with malicious intentions are more terrible than fierce beasts. He made a quick decision and immediately woke the others up.
The warriors immediately came to their senses and buried themselves in the leaves, hiding their whereabouts.
After a while, a team of riding hideous giant insects slowly walked into the Red Peng Forest, and this team was only two or three hundred meters away from the Red Peng Giant Tree where they were.
Pu Tai squinted his eyes to distinguish the totems on their bodies: "It's the Fire Sui Tribe." The voice was almost inaudible.
"A flock of black birds flew over. Ye Xi looked up at the sky and said in a low voice.
A moment later, the flock of birds flew like a dark cloud nearby.
It was a flock of ravens, each the size of a pterodactyl, flapping its wings and heading straight for the Flint Tribe.
Pu Tai shouted, "It's a red-eyed black crow, and this is also a creature from the other side of the Black Ridge Mountains!"
The mount of the Fire Suister Tribe, the wrinkled eight-legged worm, saw the crows flying in and began to make a commotion.
The people of the Fire Sui tribe hurriedly pacified. Each of them quickly pulled out a fist-sized, translucent stone from their waists, then held the stone with one hand and rubbed it quickly with the palm of the other.
In Ye Xi's stunned gaze, fire actually appeared on the surface of the stone, which quickly ignited into a large fireball, and then these warriors of the Fire Sui tribe smashed these big fireballs towards the group of red-eyed black crows.
Fearing being hit by a fireball, the red-eyed crows are thrown into a mess, flapping their wings and quacking to dodge.
The people of the Fireflint tribe held the fireballs and smashed them at the crows in waves.
Ye Xi was surprised, and when he looked closely, it turned out that the people of the Huosui tribe were wearing a layer of brown gloves with no material on their hands, and they must have used this special glove to rub the stone to make the stone burst into flames.
"It's worthy of the Fire Suir Tribe, these flints are the real good things. Putai muttered in a low voice.
Ye Xi raised his eyebrows, it turned out that these stones that could make fire were flints, the fire flint tribe fire flint tribe, the tribe named after the flint seemed to have a hand in flint.
The red-eyed crows were afraid of fireballs, and although they salivated for food, they lingered for a moment before retreating.
The flint team repaired in place for a while, picking up the flint thrown from the ground.
The flints that turned into fireballs fell to the ground and turned into ordinary stones.
The Fire Sui tribesmen who were riding on the insects and didn't move were talking, but the distance was too far to hear what they were talking about, Ye Xi looked at their mouth shapes intently, trying to distinguish them.
"This is already ...... ...... of the attack East...... Migration ......"
"There is a ...... Fierce beasts are also ......"
Fierce beast, Ye Xi silently smashed the captured dialogue.
Seeing that the natural predators had retreated, the wrinkled eight-legged insects regained their composure and continued to crawl forward slowly with the people of the Fire Sui Tribe.
However, within a moment, the wrinkled eight-legged insect became agitated again.
"It's dangerous!" Ye Xi saw the shape of the leader of the warrior's mouth.
Then, in Ye Xi's stunned eyes, this group of wrinkled gill eight-legged insects seemed to lift their clothes up, and the original eight short insect feet instantly became two meters long, and they ran towards the west with eight long legs carrying the people of the Fire Sui Tribe.
"There is a situation!" Ye Xi and Pu Tai looked at each other and said in unison.
"Let's go!" Putai immediately decided, and ordered the soldiers to immediately pack up their things and jump off the tree.
Ye Xi frowned, did not jump off the tree immediately, and quickly climbed to the top of the red canopy tree with his hands and feet, and looked towards the east.
After seeing what it was, his pupils shrank, and he instantly gasped, and quickly climbed down the tree under the urging of everyone: "A large group of giant beasts are running towards this side!"
It was a herd of giant beasts! Everyone was stunned.
Tu Shan didn't have the mount of the Fire Sui Tribe, so he had to run with two meat legs.
Fortunately, it was discovered early, and if it was not discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable, and the red fluffy tree looked tall, and it was a matter of a few bumps in front of these giant beasts.
Along the way, the people of Tushan did not dare to stop at all, only rested at night, and finally arrived at the destination on the fifth day - the Kurosawa tribe.
