Chapter 175: The Man in the Mask

Set off again, the team grew. In addition to the people from the Pu tribe, there were also expeditions from other tribes.

After the team expanded, it was much more lively, and Shao Xuan could also hear a lot of gossip from other tribes, and he would also go to ask people about some things when he was resting.

After a few days, Shao Xuan learned a lot of new information.

Shao Xuan has a map in his hand, he drew it himself, the map left by the ancestors is no longer usable, nearly a thousand years have passed, the high ridge has become a plain, the plain has become a mountain and a river, the changes are too great, and the composition and distribution of the tribe have also undergone great changes, Shao Xuan needs to draw an up-to-date map to bring back, so as not to be difficult after the tribe crosses the river.

At this moment, an experienced traveler was talking to Shao Xuan, telling what he had seen and heard back then.

"At the beginning, we didn't take this road, but took another one, and then a war broke out between the tribes there, and it has not subsided yet, so we changed this one for the time being. There's a tribe next to that river, and they're very good at making rafts, and the rafts over there are the biggest and sturdiest I've ever seen! If only we could have a raft like that. The man recalled, with envy in his eyes.

Seeing Shao Xuan's puzzled face, the man also compared with Shao Xuan and talked in detail about what he called "the largest and strongest raft".

After listening to the other party's description, Shao Xuan paused and said, "That's a boat, right?"

"Yes, yes, they're calling boats over there. ”

The man continued to reminisce and said some things he had seen and heard, but a few years had passed, and many of his memories were a little blurry.

Shao Xuan wrote these down, if he had time, he wanted to go over there to have a look, and when the time came, the people of the tribe would need to cross the river, and they would also need boats. When there was no metal, how to build a big ship, Shao Xuan was really not sure, and it was best to learn some techniques from there.

"I remember there were a lot of tourists over there. Another traveler was not willing to be lonely and came over to talk.

"It seems to be, but it's just to help the tree chop wood, hey, I heard that the slave owner also went there and took a lot of slaves with him. The man said before.

In order to increase the number of slaves under their command, slave owners will always go to some places to fish for people, and those tourists who have lost fire and the tribes have been destroyed are the favorite targets of the slave owners, but they will not go to find people immediately after those tribes are destroyed, but wait for a year or two, so that those tourists can see the shape clearly, and after being frustrated and hit, when they are almost desperate, they will go over. At that time, some tourists who had suffered a lot not only did not avoid the slave owners, but would also take the initiative to stick to them. It's the same as the same as the one.

In order to get more slaves, slave owners would move around, and the same was true for Shi Shu that Shao Xuan had encountered before. When Shao Xuan listened to the two of them, he learned some places that Shi Shu had been to before.

Shao Xuan secretly kept those places in mind, he suspected that Shi Shu had seen the same people as Yan Shuo, or had seen the totem patterns of the Yanjiao tribe, and he didn't know if it was possible that he saw them when he was looking for slaves.

Anyway, Shao Xuan planned to look for it when he passed through those places. After all, according to the words handed down by Yan Shuo's ancestors, there should be many scattered people scattered everywhere, and over the years, if they live from generation to generation, there will be many people.

The Yanjiao tribe on the other side of the river is not very populous, and if you want to expand, the first thing you need to do is to recall the scattered Yanjiao tribesmen.

"In addition to those places, there were also many tourists on the grassland that we had to pass through, and slave owners often passed. A far-traveler said.

Shao Xuan looked at the incomplete area drawn on the map, which was the grassland, and the long-distance team would not go deep, but only passed through the border area of the grassland. There are many tribes on the grassland, and the people there are also very strong, and the teams that travel far away generally do not go deeper.

As he was talking, the man next to him suddenly said, "Look ahead!"

Shao Xuan's gaze left the map and looked at the water in front of him.

On the water ahead, there were a number of people floating, each with fatal scars.

"Is there a war ahead?" someone asked.

"It doesn't look like it's small. ”

The people around were talking, and the leaders of several of the expedition party also gathered together to discuss, and finally decided to rest on the shore for the time being.

"Let's take a rest first, send some people to the front to investigate, if there is a tribe fighting, let's avoid it first, or wait a while, and wait until the end of the other side is over before leaving." The person in front said.

The people on the side of the raft rowed the wooden oars, and after the raft docked, Shao Xuan and the people around him spontaneously tied the raft to the tree or big stone on the shore, and carried their own wrapped animal skin bags with them, and no one put them on the raft, because they couldn't say when they had to abandon the raft to escape, after all, this is not their own tribe, especially in the place where there is a war, it is extremely dangerous and easy to harm the pond fish.

The leaders each sent a dozen or so people to the front to inquire about the situation.

"Shao Xuan, let's go, see if there are any wild beasts around here, hunt one and eat it. He said.

When resting, the people in the party can hunt nearby, as long as they don't run far. If you don't see anyone when you run away, you won't wait.

"Okay. Shao Xuan said to the people next to him, if the team is starting here, let them say hello.

After leaving the tribe, Shao Xuan ate less fierce beasts, and generally hunted wild beasts, and where there were fierce beasts, these people did not go.

Some of them miss the flesh of the beast.

Chirp didn't know where to go to hunt for food, that goods had relatively high requirements for food, and ordinary beasts couldn't look down on it, but Chirp hadn't fallen behind, even if he left temporarily, he could quickly catch up with the team, Shao Xuan wasn't worried about it.

"Look, there's a deer over there!" he said, gesturing in one direction. Then he quickly pulled out his blowgun, and the stinger was used as an arrowhead, and put it in it, approaching it carefully.

He had to hurry, or he would let the rest of the team take the lead, and he would have nothing to eat.

He quietly approached over there, and Shao Xuan followed. However, Shao Xuan always felt that something was wrong around him, not necessarily a crisis, but it seemed that something had happened, and he was a little more cautious when sneaking.

At about a distance of about the deer, he pointed the mouth of the blowtorch with the needle and put the other end in his mouth. When blowing, the cheeks of the cheeks are still bulging.

Sou!

The arrow needle was discharged quickly, and the blown arrow needle also accurately hit the deer.

The poison of the arrow needle is not a lethal poison, but a very powerful paralyzing poison, and when the deer is shot, the arrow pierces the skin of the deer, and the poison spreads.

When the deer felt attacked, he wanted to run away, but after running two steps, he stumbled a little, and after a few steps, fell to the ground.

"Hey!

He was so excited that he was about to go over to clean up his prey, but he was stopped by Shao Xuan.

"What's wrong?" looked at Shao Xuan suspiciously.

Shao Xuan didn't answer, but raised his chin in one direction.

Look over.

In the woods not far from the deer, some birds flew up. Probably because of the movement of the deer running and falling just now, it alarmed them.

"What's wrong with those birds?" still didn't quite understand, thought about it, and said helplessly: "You don't want to eat those birds, do you?"

Shao Xuan looked at it silently for a few seconds and said, "Those are scavenging birds. ”

"Scavengers?"

"Eat corpses. Shao Xuan pointed over there, "There are quite a few of them." ”

Just now, because of the movement of the deer, some birds were alarmed, but Shao Xuan believed that it was only a small part, and many of them did not fly at all. And the bird that had just taken a startled flight quickly flew down.

Why should they stay on the ground if they don't have food to attract them?

His face froze, and he put away the blowgun. I can't take care of the deer anymore, compared to my life, I can put the food first.

Because of the direction of the wind, when they came, they didn't smell anything strange, and there were a lot of flowers blooming near the riverbank, and the fragrance of the flowers was overflowing, which interfered with the sense of smell, so they didn't notice it at the first time.

"Let's take a look?" he said.

Before Shao Xuan could answer, he had already taken out the stone knife on his body and walked over there.

Shao Xuan looked around, and didn't notice that there were other people around for the time being, so he also raised his heels.

It was getting closer and closer, and due to the dense bushes, he hadn't been able to see the situation there yet, but as he got closer, Shao Xuan could already smell the not-so-good smell.

In addition, there are also the movements of those scavenging birds pecking, probably grabbing too much food, and there will be fights between each other.

Carefully removing the branches that were blocking the front, Shao Xuan saw the source of the smell.

There were more dead people, many dead people, than those floating on the river, and, because there was no washing by the river, there was a layer of red blood on the ground.

They were dressed in the same way as those on the river, they were supposed to be from the same tribe, and in this case, they were obviously slaughtered.

"These people ......"

He was about to say something, but suddenly found that there was still an arm moving in this person's pile.

"And the living?!"

Hearing the sound of the scarf, the person who was pressed below struggled and pushed the person above away, revealing a face covered with blood, with only one wound on his body, but it was almost fatal, and most of the others were fatally wounded by a knife.

Many of the birds that were pecking on the ground flew up because they noticed the presence of a living person, but some of them were gluttonous and remained on the ground.

"Save ...... Help me!" the man ignored the pecks of the birds around him, and crawled towards Shao Xuan.

He frowned and took a step back. He didn't know these people, and he didn't want to get involved in the struggle between the tribes, he was just a traveler, not looking for trouble.

"Let's get out of ......" Before he could finish speaking, he heard a whoosh.

Poof!

The man who was crawling towards him was pierced by a spear and crucified there.

Shao Xuan raised his eyes and looked in one direction, and over there, on a tree, there was a person.

A man in a mask. R1152
