Chapter Ninety-Six: The Basin

Leaving enough men to guard the small plains in the canyon, the barbarian king personally led his troops into the mountains in the northeast. Long before him, Zhangzhung Gyatso led his men into the hill to which he had been assigned.

The mountains are tall and densely forested, and it is very difficult to walk, and everyone must always be vigilant about whether they will be attacked, so the speed of progress is not fast.

But unexpectedly, they searched like this for several days, encountering many fierce beasts along the way, causing some minor casualties, but there was no trace of the wild people, as if they had disappeared out of thin air. Zhangxiong Gyatso speculated that the wild man's lair was probably still deep in the jungle.

Gradually advancing, the 3,000 people could not be accommodated, so he had to let Lag Jianshen, Tashi Langdo, Nanka Cairang, Tsering Gongmu and others each take a team of men and horses to search separately. He took his younger brother and Tuden Gejie, Duolang Quga and others in the middle together, and the distance between them was not widened, so they could take care of each other.

After searching for several more days, the food he brought with him had already been eaten, and he had to hunt along the way to satisfy his hunger. Even Zhangxiong Gyatso had the illusion that the savages had been frightened and fled into the deepest forests and did not dare to show their faces.

He stood at the top of a mountain peak, looking at the endless mountains and forests in front of him, and was silent. A scout rushed to him and reported to him: "Big man, the barbarian king has found something, and he has issued an edict to everyone, let us lead our troops over." ”

"Oh, what did they find?" asked Zhangzhung Gyatso, with some surprise.

The scout replied, "While searching, the barbarian king's army climbed over a high mountain and found a great basin. And along the vines above the basin, I found traces of wild people. Therefore, he suspected that the wildlings had fled into the basin. So he wanted to gather everyone and go into the basin to search. ”

That's the case, Zhangxiong Gyatso was relieved, no wonder after searching for so many days, there was no trace of the wild people, it turned out that they all fled into the basin. Obviously, if the expectation is right, that basin should be the nest of the wild people.

Immediately sent people to recall Lagjian Shen and others, gathered 3,000 troops, and under the guidance of the scout, drove to the direction where the barbarian king was.

By the time Zhangxiong Gyatso arrived with his men, the rest of the small tribes had already arrived, and the leaders had all gathered on a low hillside, and when they looked down, they saw a huge circular basin appearing in front of them, and there was no edge in sight. The area is not nearly 100 square kilometers. The inside is lush and covered with towering ancient trees. Although the basin is very deep, tens or nearly 100 meters long, those ancient trees are so tall that they all emerge. The yin inside is deep, and from time to time there is the howl of wild beasts, which is prohibitive.

This place is too dark and mysterious, and the barbarian king does not dare to rush in, so he gathers everyone to prepare to fight into it together with a mighty army.

"Barbarian King, have you found the entrance?" someone asked Xiang Barencuo.

Xiang Barencuo smiled and pointed to the hillside at his feet: "Just below the hillside, there is a cross-cut fracture canyon that leads directly into the basin. Of course, the wildlings must have climbed the vines on the rock walls of the basin to get in and out. The canyon below is steep and difficult to navigate, and it should just be where the beasts will go. ”

Zhangxiong Gyatso looked down, nearly a hundred meters from the surface of the basin, and the canyon below was so narrow that it could walk away from two wildebeests. The steep rock walls on both sides are pitch black and shrub-ridden, making them the best way to sneak up if there are savages hiding in them.

The terrain here is unfavorable for the barbarians, but unless they give up, they will break through anyway.

When they all arrived here, no one would give up easily, and besides, they had 20,000 horses, and they were afraid of the savages who had already scared their hearts?

The barbarian king called on the warriors to form a forward pathfinder team, and his general, Ramlatso, volunteered to lead more than 100 people to climb the vines into the basin. Then people came out and joined in. Zhangxiong Gyatso narrowed his eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Since there are so many warriors who choose to go down to the basin from above, then we people from the Mao Niu tribe should go and explore the crack in the canyon." ”

Zhangxiong Gyatso wanted to go to the dreaded narrow road by himself, and the barbarian king was naturally happy: "Okay, Zhangxiong Datou is really worthy of being a warrior of the barbarians, and the following road will be entrusted to you." ”

Walking down the mountain with his men, Tudeng Gejie and Duolang Quga followed suit, and they were determined to lean towards Zhangxiong Gyatso. Even if the barbarian king is angry, he has no choice but to secretly write it down in his heart and settle accounts with them in the future.

Coming to the entrance of the canyon below, Zhangxiong Gyatso naturally took the lead, with Lag Jianshen on the left, Tsering Gongmu on the right, and Namka Tserang and Tashi Langdo behind him. Some of the most powerful leaders of the Woolly Cow tribe took it upon themselves to clear the way. Even if the Savage King and the Silver Wolf were ambushed here, they would have time to deal with it.

Walking in the silent canyon, there is only the sound of footsteps, and the sound of mosquitoes is heard around, which is quietly unsettling. But Zhangxiong Gyatso looked at the dung of the beasts everywhere, but he was not worried. Because the footprints of the wild people were not detected on the ground, they must have had no time to react when they fled in a hurry. At this time, even if I thought of coming to ambush, it was too late.

walked hundreds of meters without thrills, and actually passed through it so smoothly. They were standing on the edge of the basin. Zhangzhung Gyatso looked at this place, and it felt like an extinct volcanic crater, but the volcano was large enough.

Keeping vigilant and searching the surroundings with everyone, the three thousand soldiers behind him began to enter side by side. It took two hours to get in. When you get here, you need to be cautious everywhere.

They marched as closely as they could, along the gaps of the towering ancient trees. Since this is the beast path of wild beasts, many shrubs that stand in the way are trampled down, and many paths are naturally formed, which saves them a lot of trouble.

Looking up, I found that the people on the Barbarian King's side also began to climb down the vines in large numbers, and 20,000 people were enough for them to be busy for a long time. Zhangxiong Gyatso didn't wait for them, and found a direction to search for the past.

Suddenly, a high-pitched roar came from his ears, and although it felt far away, it still made Zhangxiong Gyatso and the others erect!

What kind of beast is this, just hearing its roar makes people tremble? Could it be an even more terrifying beast raised by the savage race?

Zhangxiong Gyatso immediately stopped everyone's movements, and his face changed.

"What kind of beast is this, Gatso Big-headed, how can I hear its roar, some of its legs are weak?" asked Tuden Gejie tremblingly, his voice subconsciously becoming smaller. The others, even the biggest raging raga ginseng, had a look of fear on their faces.

Shaking his head, Zhangxiong Gyatso said, "I don't know yet, but it's definitely not a good type." We can't go on. ”

Suddenly there was another roar of the beast, followed by another high-pitched roar, a different beast altogether. The two beasts seemed to be fighting! Their voices directly scared the timid man to his stomach.

There was a sudden scream overhead, and it turned out that some barbarian warriors who were climbing the vines were shocked and fell down.

This cliff more than 100 meters high directly fell into rotten meat.
