Chapter 395: Prairie Rainstorm Season
There are so many people who have died along the way.
The atmosphere of the ranks was very low, and everyone hurried away with their heads bowed in almost silence, their steps heavy as if they had been filled with lead, and even the faces of the warriors were deeply tired as they drove away the invading beasts.
On the third day of entering the grassland, there was a sudden rainstorm in the sky.
It didn't stop again.
Because they are just in time for the heavy rainstorm season in the grasslands, it will not stop until it has fallen for a full month or two.
The weeds of the grassland encountered the rain, and during this time, they grew wildly, and the grass that originally reached the base of the thighs instantly grew waist-deep.
This grass is dark green, not soft at all, straight and thatch-like, and will be cut if you are not careful. Now that it has grown so tall, it has undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the team's march.
In the grass.
Riding on the back of the Exclusive Scaly Horse King, she suddenly raised her slender neck to look at the gray and gloomy sky.
The sky was vast, except for the accumulation of ethereal gray clouds and a few birds hurrying to shelter from the rain.
A big drop of rain from the sky fell and smashed into her beautiful eyes, making her eyelashes tremble slightly, and her long eyelashes were full of water droplets. Transparent rain flowed down the corners of his eyes like teardrops.
Chief Ye beside him wiped the rain from his face and sighed, "Hey, why did you say that Xiwu hasn't come back yet?"
She retracted her gaze, wiped away the disappointment on her face, and said softly, "Maybe something happened on the way." ”
"If he was there, the atmosphere in the team would not be so low. Chief Ye looked at the team walking like a walking corpse in the gray rain curtain behind him, and said with a wry smile.
The rain kept hitting her head, blurring her vision, but she didn't even wipe it, only lowered her eyelashes: "There is no way, everyone doesn't know when this road will end, even I ......"
At this time, the one-horned scaly horse king under the throne suddenly hissed and knelt on the ground.
Stunned, she jumped off the back of the one-horned scale king, looked at its big eyes, and asked, "What's wrong?"
The One-Horned Scaly King stood up and hissed with his neck back.
The other Scaly Horses threw off the man they were carrying on their backs and gathered around the Scaly King on kicks and feet, waiting for his orders.
The one-horned scaly horse king lowered his head and rubbed his arm, and then looked at the grassland in the distance.
She paused and asked, "Are you leaving?"
The One-Horned Scaly King nodded humanely.
She was silent, with an indescribable smile on her face, touched its head, and said softly: "If you want to go, just go, it's dangerous outside, be careful." ”
The one-horned scaly horse king rubbed her palm again, neighed, and suddenly led the one-horned scaly horse group to leave in the pouring rain, his back elegant and vigorous.
Chief Ye looked at their departing backs, and felt a pain in his flesh: "Don't you leave them?"
Without one-horned horses, they had to walk on their feet.
She shook her head: "These are horses that Xi Wu found, and he once told us not to hurt them. ”
Chief Ye was helpless: "Then we won't have mounts in the future, be careful of the ticks in the grass." ”
In addition to all kinds of fierce beasts, there are countless ticks in the grassland.
This tick is small, blood-sucking, and ferocious, silently crawling onto the body and burrowing into the flesh, and many people walk only to find that their legs are full of ticks.
The scene was shocking and terrifying.
However, once this insect gets into the flesh, it can't be pulled out, and if it is pulled hard, it can only pull out the body of the tick, leaving a tick head in the flesh, so that the wound is inflamed and rotten.
Most people don't have enough hides on their bodies to cover their bodies, so they have to let ticks burrow their flesh.
For a while, everyone had to resist the attack of fierce beasts and be vigilant against ticks, and they were all miserable.
Many of the tick bites on the body showed symptoms such as high fever, vomiting, headache, etc., and even fell into the grass when they were seriously ill.
But fortunately, there is no endless road, and the sting tribe is a game of insects, and they know insects very well, and they use a special cordyceps repellent to help everyone drive away most of the ticks.
However, Cordyceps repellent is limited, and everyone has to save on it, so small tribesmen and ordinary people are abandoned by everyone.
............
The endless torrential rain, the beasts that ambushed and stared at the grass, the fierce beasts that wanted to snatch the source stones, and the ticks that burrowed into the flesh without paying attention, were like straws pressing on everyone's shoulders one by one.
Destroy the spirit of the multitude.
But none of these are the most serious problems, the most serious problems are food.
Although there are only a population of more than 10,000 left, the food needed is also huge, especially when they need to travel all the time, and there are no wild fruits in the grassland, only countless wild grasses.
Eventually, the party agreed that the team would stay in place twice a day, and the warriors of each tribe would hunt around. The number of prey caught is as much prey as there is, come back in time after the catch, and the team will set off when the time is up, and will never wait for anyone.
In the dark green grass.
Bamu, a first-level warrior of the Black Tiger Tribe, broke away from the team and hunted alone in the grass.
The grass was taller than before, reaching its head, and he held a spear, his thin upper body exposed, his body bowed, staring at a giant wolf in the rainstorm.
The giant wolf had dirty fur and skinny skin, and was clearly a hungry wolf. It was low in the grass, its wolf eyes were tightly shut, glowing green, and it also regarded the other party as its prey.
A hungry wolf, a hungry human, stared at each other through the dense grass.
"Ah!!h
After a breath, Bamu took the lead in roaring, raising his spear and attacking the hungry wolf.
The hungry wolf swooped, opened its foul-smelling and fanged mouth, and rushed towards Bamu like lightning.
The two collided, and Bamu's spear did not stab the hungry wolf, but near the neck, the hungry wolf's claws fiercely scratched three bloody marks.
The torrential rain made it impossible to keep people's eyes open.
Bamu roared in the rain, holding his spear in his backhand, and stabbed at the hungry wolf.
The spear made a splash, and the hungry wolf turned around and pounced forward, his mouth wide open to bite Bamu's neck.
Bamu could already smell the stench in the hungry wolf's mouth, and he ducked away from the wolf's mouth, but his back was scratched by the wolf's claws.
The hungry wolf took advantage of the victory and pursued, desperately trying to bite Bamu's neck, but Bamu desperately fought with it at the risk of being bitten, and finally rode the back of the giant wolf.
Bamu gasped violently, his legs firmly wrapped around the hungry wolf's back to keep him from being thrown off, and then raised his spear high.
Poof!
Bamu's spear pierced its waist fiercely, the sharp head peeking out from under the hungry wolf's belly.
Blood gushing wildly.
The hungry wolf's body was pierced by the spear, but it did not die immediately, its eyes flashed, and it twisted desperately to get up and escape.
But Bamu didn't give it this chance, he pounced on the hungry wolf, held its neck firmly, opened his mouth, and bit its neck like a beast.
The teeth pierced the wolf's skin.
With the icy rain, Bamu gulped down the warm wolf blood.
The hungry wolf lay on the wet ground, drenched in torrential rain, his eyes gradually lost his sparkle, and his body became cold.
Bamu opened his eyes and gulped on the wolf's blood, his mouth was full of hungry wolf's dirty fur, and the corners of his mouth kept flowing out of the blood that he couldn't swallow. After swallowing for a while, Bamu cut the fur with a dagger, dug up a piece of bloody wolf meat, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
As he chewed and chewed, Bamu's eyes became redder and redder, and finally he suddenly began to cry.
During the migration, Bamu's Eminem and his sister were directly shocked to death by the roar because they heard the roar of the royal beast at close range. His father fell into a coma due to a high fever due to a tick bite, and he has not woken up yet, and may die in two days.
He asked the doctor witch of the Yugang tribe to save his father, but the witch of the Yugang tribe asked for his war beast Red Fang in exchange.
Red Fang is a black tiger, he raised it since he was a child, and he has a deep affection, and now he is still hungry to help him carry his father, how can he bear to hand it over.
Bamu fell into deep despair and powerlessness, and a voice in his heart kept asking.
Why, why?!
Why did a natural disaster suddenly come, why were their Black Tiger tribe so weak, why were they so miserable?!
At this moment, the grass was rustling.
Bamu stopped howling and crouched on the ground and looked around warily.
A dozen gray-haired wolves emerged from the grass and stared at him in the rain, surrounding him in the center.
Bamu's heart sank.
The icy torrential rain took away all the body heat, leaving only a biting chill.
Three heads may still have a chance to escape, but a dozen ...... Bamu clenched his spear and stood up, gritting his teeth to fight to the death.
Suddenly!
More than a dozen wild wolves whimpered at the same time, turned around and left with their tails between their legs.
Before Bamu could be stunned, there was a rustling sound in the grass again, and at the same time, an oppressive and powerful aura suddenly appeared.
Bamu stared nervously at the grass, motionless.
The next moment, the grass parted, and a majestic bee-waisted black-backed tiger suddenly appeared here, and on its back, a young man with a tall figure and a handsome face sat high.
Bamu looked up at him stupidly with his mouth open.
After half a breath, he stiffly shook his soul and screamed, "Lord Xiwu!"
