Team gathering point.

Ye Xi sat cross-legged on a clean rock, and the people of the thirty-five tribes surrounded him lively, and from time to time excited people came over alone to salute Ye Xi.

Not far away, the chiefs of the various tribes were discussing how to divide the living area, where to plant the worm willows, and how to build the stone houses.

"W-"

At this moment, a sharp and faint bird song came from a distance.

The chieftain was very sensitive to the call of the falcon, and he had been arguing with the chieftain of Ganqi about the mining of stones, but when he heard this call, he was immediately stunned and looked in that direction.

The eagle's wings were wounded, and as it flew, beads of blood spilled and fell crookedly behind its master's shoulder, and it let out a series of rapid chirps at his master.

Screaming and screaming, he suddenly tilted his head and fell down from his master's shoulder, losing his breath.

The owner of the falcon held the body of the falcon with a look of astonishment and grief.

And the chieftain of the falcon, who heard the call of the falcon all the time, had already changed his face, and he didn't care about comforting the clansmen, so he suddenly got up and walked in front of Ye Xi.

"Lord Xiwu, just now the falcons of our tribe came to report that the hunting team of Gongtao was in danger, and none of them escaped!"

Ye Xi's eyes suddenly sharpened.

The people around who heard the news all fell silent, feeling a little incredible.

There were nearly 20 people in the Gongtao hunting team sent out today, and all of the 20 warriors and 20 moa birds died?

Chief Gongtao stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, and he looked at the Falcon Chief: "What did you say?!"

Ye Xi's expression was calm, he raised his hand to signal the Gongtao chief to calm down, and asked the Falcon chief, "Is it the fierce beast, poisonous insects or people who attacked the Gongtao hunting team?"

The chieftain of the Falcon had a painful look in his eyes: "That falcon was badly wounded and died before he could finish speaking. ”

Ye Xi: "Do you have any other information?"

The Falcon Chief shook his head.

Ye Xi didn't ask anything more, immediately stood up, bent his fingers to his lips, and blew a loud and long whistle.

The giant buzzard, which was foraging not far away, immediately flew back.

Ye Xi jumped on the back of the big buzzard and said to the chieftain of the falcon: "I'll go over and take a look, you immediately ask the falcon to call back the hunting teams of other tribes, everyone stay where they are, pay attention, and be on guard at any time!"

Chief Gongtao also wanted to follow when he moved, but Pingyao stepped forward to stop him, and said quickly: "I'll go, chief, you protect the clansmen." ”

Without waiting for Chief Tao to reply, he had already jumped onto Daxue's back, and Daxue immediately flapped his wings and chased after the big buzzard.

The Gongtao chief stomped his foot heavily as he watched their distant backs, and had to stop.

............

Ye Xi followed the scattered blood stains dripping from the falcons on the leaves along the way, wasted some strength, and finally found the place where the Gongtao hunting team was killed.

At this glance, I couldn't help but change my face slightly.

I saw that a whole small hill seemed to have been stirred by a giant mixer, and it turned directly into sparse soil, and the thick trees were messily upside down, and there were broken branches, broken turf moss, and moa feathers everywhere.

It's a mess.

And the most conspicuous thing is that in this chaotic black mound, there are two huge dark red long insect giant corpses, and the fishy insect liquid is flowing out of the wounds of the insect corpses.

This giant insect resembles both leeches and earthworms, covered in dark red hard armor, and is extremely large, similar to the giant earthworms that Ye Xi had encountered in the Black Ridge Mountains before.

If the Pottery Warriors had encountered a lot of these long worms, it would not be difficult to imagine why this place had become like this, and why they had been wiped out.

But before they died, they should have put up a fierce resistance.

The flat kiln jumped off the back of the heavy snow.

As soon as he jumped to the ground, his feet sank into the loose mound.

He looked around with a shocked expression, and after looking around for a while, his pupils shrank, and he dug out a crooked bone knife from the mound, gritted his teeth and said, "This is the bone knife of the sword!"

He looked at the blood-stained bone knife, and then at the two insect corpses that were obviously hacked to death by the blades, and said hatefully: "I told them a long time ago not to leave the safe area, why didn't they listen to the order?!

His eyes were red, and he was obviously angry, so he threw the bone knife aside.

However, despite the cruel words, in the end, Pingyao buried his hands in digging through the messy mound, trying to find the corpses of his people and bring them back.

However, after digging for a long time, I didn't find anything.

Ye Xi sighed: "It's useless, they should have been swallowed by the giant worm." ”

Pingyao was covered in mud chips, and when he heard this, he sat down on the ground and looked very embarrassed.

Seeing that they have reached the end of a long journey, why are there so many twists and turns? They have already lost so many people, why are there so many casualties?

And there is also a precious female warrior in the hunting team this time, who is also folded here.

It's a pity that all those giant insects have burrowed into the ground, and he can't take revenge even if he wants to.

At this time, Ye Xi's eyes suddenly froze, and he suddenly bent down from the ground and picked up a small piece of black leather armor.

Looking at this piece of broken leather armor, Ye Xi's eyebrows became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Perhaps, they didn't encounter the insect swarm, but encountered the attack of other tribes. ”

Pingyao was taken aback: "What?!"

Ye Xi threw the piece of leather armor to him, and then waved his hand to summon the big buzzard down.

The surrounding five or six miles of Falcon birds have been explored, and there is no trace of the tribe's existence at all, so either someone has been living underground, or their tribe is further away.

Compared with the former, Ye Xi felt that the latter was more likely.

Because people are not insects, it is impossible not to see the sun all day long, you must know that even the cave rabbit people who like to burrow in the ground often come out to bask in the sun.

High in the air.

Ye Xi squatted on the back of the giant buzzard and looked down at the past.

Everything was normal all around, there were dense forests everywhere, but in the distance to the northeast the vegetation was thinning, and a light blue lake the size of a coin was quietly embedded in the most barren place.

In the very center of the lake, there was a small black dot that was noticeable.

At first glance, the whole lake looks like a blue pupil, which is extremely beautiful and seductive.

Apparently, it turned out to be a crater, and because of the rainwater stored in it, it formed a small shallow lake. And the surrounding barren vegetation is caused by this meteorite from the sky.

The huge aftermath of the meteorite impact flattened the surrounding woods.

At this time, Ye Xi seemed to have discovered something, and hurriedly drank and ordered the big bustard to fly closer in that direction.

The wind blew Ye Xi's hair.

He took a closer look and found that there were traces of tree transplantation on the wasteland around the crater!

That faint green color is like weeds falling into the desert, and you can't find it if you don't look closely.

"No matter how human a fierce beast is, it is very likely that this crater is not occupied by a fierce beast, but by a certain tribe! They may think that the surrounding area of the tribe is too barren and inconvenient for hunting, so they are in a hurry to improve the surrounding environment. ”

Ye Xi said secretly in his heart.

"The population density of this wild land is extremely low, and you often don't meet a single person after walking for half a month, and this tribe that occupies the area around the crater should be the same wave that attacked the Gongtao hunting team. ”

Afraid of being discovered by the people of that tribe, Ye Xi let the giant buzzard fly high again, and in the high air, he stared thoughtfully at the crater.

This unknown tribe really chooses a place, and the area around the crater is indeed a great place to live.

The meteorite fell in a very clever position, just smashed into a row of mountains, and smashed the mountains into a little depression, so that about one-fifth of the entire lake area is embedded in the mountains.

But on the other side of the lake is a plain.

This kind of terrain can be used to build stone houses, watchtowers, and city walls, and the mountains are not high or low, which is suitable for digging caves, and finally the lake also solves the problem of water by the way......

Ye Xi looked at it and slowly narrowed his eyes.
