On the map left by the spring leaves, the place where the long-distance travelers gathered was not a place with a lot of people, and there were barren mountains and mountains all around, probably because of the weather, it rarely rained in the area here, and the vegetation on the mountains was not as dense and thick as the woods on the side of the fierce beast mountain forest. There are basically no fierce beasts, and the number of large beasts is not very large.

Such a barren mountain and wild place is actually a gathering place for long-distance teams, and if there is no one to lead the way, it is difficult to find the exact place along the way.

At the top of a certain mountain, there are several wooden houses or houses made of rattan and grass, and at this time, there are some people dressed in different clothes, looking around on the grass in front of the houses.

"How?" said Renoha as he walked out of a bamboo house and asked a middle-aged man standing outside.

"The people of the Changzhou tribe have just arrived, and the rest are the Tianshan tribe and the Hui tribe. The man said.

"What about the Flamehorn Tribe?" asked Renoha.

"Yanjiao tribe?" The man didn't remember which tribe the Yanjiao tribe was for a while, and he paused for a few seconds before remembering, his face was suddenly stunned, and then he smiled indifferently, "It's the first time they've participated, so they may not be able to find their way." ”

"The people of the Flamehorn tribe don't have a guide. Another man came up to him and said.

These are all people who have participated in many long journeys, and although they will not participate in them every time, they will take turns to take them, and each of them will come out as an experienced elder and a guide every few years, and bring out the juniors of the tribe, if all of them are young warriors who have participated in this expedition for the first time, not to mention whether they can find a place to gather, and no one will take care of them, how many people will have to die?

"I heard that Yanjiao will come three times this time, I don't know if I can live. One said.

"Not to mention whether they will survive or not, it is unknown whether they will find this place on time. ”

A few people were discussing, and then they heard some people not far away say, "It's coming!"

In the air, there are two flying points.

"Hui tribe, Tianshan tribe?" only those two tribes will come by bird.

No one could say for sure. But after the two shadows flew closer, someone said, "It's from the Tianshan tribe." ”

"How do you know?" puzzled the young warrior who participated for the first time.

"Birds are different. The belly of the bird in the Tien Shan Mountains is white. It's not back to the tribe. A member of the Feather tribe said. Even though he was a first-time participant, he had learned about the birds of various tribes and could judge them based on their morphological characteristics.

"Really. ”

The two figures in the sky flew closer and closer, rushing straight towards this direction.

Whew――

The sound of flapping wings vigorously sounded.

Dust and gravel were violently fledged, and powerful claws clawed at the rocky ground. The light yì leaves deep claw marks.

It was two huge eagles, standing on the ground with folded wings, about five meters high, and they appeared larger when they spread their wings. The upper part of their body is generally dark brown with some different shades of pattern, and the part near the abdomen is pure white without a trace of variegation. Because they have several hard and short crests on their heads, at first glance. It is like having horns, so it is also called horned eagles.

As a giant among flying birds, only a few birds such as mountain eagles can compare with it.

With a sharp beak with a hooked tip, strong claws and sharp nails, it can easily crush the skull of its prey, and it has a strong body and a fierce appearance, especially when the hair on the head is blown up to look at people. It's like a vicious monster staring at you. Some of the young warriors met the bird's eyes and swallowed their saliva. It's fierce.

There were five people standing on each horned eagle. Each of them carried a large bow and three long feathers stuck in their heads.

Looking at the ten people who came, Rezuha greeted the person who was about the same age as him in the lead, and asked if the things on the road were smooth.

And the people of the Yu tribe such as Hongxi and Gu Zhi did not have a good face for the people of the Tianshan tribe.

But people from other tribes. In particular, some young warriors looked at the two eagles of the Tianshan tribe and showed envy. They climbed several mountains when they came, and if they didn't climb, they would take a long detour, but. Like the Tianshan tribe, you can get there directly by sitting on the bird, how refreshing.

The people of the Tianshan Mountains completely ignored the bad sight around them, but for those with envious eyes, they smiled back smugly.

Not long after the arrival of the Tianshan tribe, the people who returned to the tribe also arrived, as before, two mountain peak giant eagles, but this time there were only nine people who came over.

"Everyone is ready, let's go now, or rest for two days?" said the middle-aged man from the Tianshan tribe who was the first to sweep around.

"Let's rest for two more days, and besides, the people of the Flamehorn tribe haven't arrived yet. Renoha said.

"Is there anyone else?Yanjiao Tribe?" Hearing this name, several people from the Tianshan tribe changed their faces, looked at each other, hooked the corners of their mouths, and smiled a little gloomy.

"The people from Yanjiao are also here this time, and there is no guide?" The people who returned to the tribe looked at the few people in the Tianshan Mountains, frowning, worried.

"The first time I joined the team, naturally there was no guide. Someone said.

If you don't have a guide, it's hard to find a place.

"Then wait two days, and after two days, if there are no people in Yanjiao, we will set off. The Tianshan people said.

The other tribes have no opinion, two days, this is also the last chance for Yanjiao, and if they haven't seen anyone after two days, they don't care.

Two days later.

In the morning, the people at the top of the mountain came out of the various houses, looked at the rising sun, packed their things and prepared to go.

The people returning to the tribe looked into the distance and shook their heads with a sigh.

Hongxi and Qu Ce couldn't help it, even if they wanted to wait for Yanjiao, it was impossible.

Mang, Weiba, Hui, Tianshan, Yu, Qianmian, Changzhou and some other slightly smaller people from the central tribe, a group of nearly 100 people, walked down from the top of the mountain, but when they walked to the mountainside, there were several eagle calls in the air, there were mountain eagles of the Hui tribe, and there were horned eagles of the Tianshan tribe.

"Here we are!" said someone back to the tribe.

In the sky, a figure smaller than the other four appeared, let out a loud eagle chirp, and swooped down towards the side of the group, and as they swept past the group, three figures jumped down.

It's the three of Shao Xuan!

"Finally caught up. Sorry for the first time, delayed. Shao Xuan said to someone he knew among the older people. Ignoring the slightly malicious gaze of the other strands.

Renoha nodded, "Just catch up." Can you make your way now?"

"No problem. Shao Xuan said.

didn't rest, Shao Xuan and the three of them went down the mountain with the team.

During the descent of the mountain, Shao Xuan observed the team and found that the undercurrent in the team was surging, and it was not as harmonious as it appeared.

Shao Xuan took a moment to remind Tuo and Lei to be careful of the people around them and stay vigilant.

Although Tuo and Lei were also vigilant, because they had participated in the tribe's hunting team before, they were accustomed to the tacit cooperation in the team, and they heard that they were a united team and partners, so they relaxed slightly, and chatted with some outsiders around them. But since Shao Xuan reminded them to be careful, they became vigilant. Especially those who guard against the Tianshan Mountains.

Seeing that Tuo and Lei still didn't quite understand, Shao Xuan didn't say much, but just hinted a few words. "Don't think that when they say half of the people died, they all died at the hands of slaves and slave owners. ”

It's not that they died at the hands of others, and there aren't many fierce beasts here, so there are only ...... Own!

Of course, although they are in the same team, they are from different tribes and are not exactly their own people. If you look closely, the people of those tribes are all gathered together by various tribes, and each group maintains a certain vigilant distance from each other.

After leaving the gathering place, the team headed in one direction, and that was the direction that Shao Xuan had never been.

A day later, they saw a long procession of slaves of more than two hundred men on the road.

Long vines tied the slaves together, and beside the procession, there were a few men with whips. Those are the higher-ranking slaves. (To be continued......)
