Chapter 537: The Land of Clear Mountains

There were many broken branches around him, and the branches and leaves that blocked the sky above were scattered on the ground, revealing a vacancy, and the sunlight from the sky could shine directly on the ground.

Under the hot weather and the scorching sun, the smell of carrion spreads, attracting many scavengers, but I don't know if it was because a huge beast was angry not long ago, except for the group of gray-feathered scavenging birds and some small flying insects, there were no larger animals.

After looking around and finding the desired trace, the team set off again.

Now that we have found the traces of the group of slaves sent by Yanling City, it is much easier to follow the traces to find the past, after all, there are many slaves in that group.

It is said that there are 500 people sent out by Yanling City this time, which is not much compared to the entire tribe or the entire Yanling City, but 500 people were sent from the desert all the way to enter this fierce beast mountain forest.

After finding the traces of the slaves, the others no longer doubted the words of the Yanjiao people, and they were glad in their hearts, fortunately, they chose to follow the Yanjiao, otherwise they would have let them find a team of 500 people in the huge fierce beast forest, and they might not be able to find it for more than 100 days. Many traces can't be kept for long, and the mountains and forests here are repairing themselves much faster than people think, that is, the corpses they saw just now that are about to be eaten will not leave even a single bone tomorrow.

Because the team entered the forest much later than the group of slaves, and most of the traces left by the slaves had been covered by the self-repair of the forest, it was not known where the group of slaves were going at first.

Thinking about it this way, several tribes felt that the "sincerity" they paid to Yanjiao was quite cost-effective.

Beyond the familiar range of Yanjiao, it is much more difficult to find a satisfactory resting place. There are also more hidden dangers in the mountains and forests, which are more hidden and difficult to guard.

Following the trail left by the slave procession, following for four days, there were sixty-three people in the procession, and now there were five less. He died for a variety of reasons.

This morning, there was also a person from the Longboat tribe who was poisoned by a poisonous snake, and he didn't even have time to rescue, the place where the other party was bitten was his neck, and before anyone else could check his injuries, his entire neck quickly turned black, as if it had been stained with ink, and festered, and the bitten person died not long after. That's an intermediate totem warrior, and the body's resistance to toxicity is okay. But it didn't last long, and in the end I couldn't even say a word.

The poisonous snake that bit the man lay in ambush on the tree, silently, like a dead thing clinging to the tree, as if it were one with the tree, and only suddenly attacked when people passed by.

In the past, the people of the Changzhou tribe only thought that large snakes were generally non-venomous. Unless it's a ferocious beast, but here. There are many, many large venomous snakes of all kinds, and they are highly venomous. Just like the one that bit their companion before, it was thicker than a human and extremely poisonous. After his head was cut off, he almost bit another person, if it weren't for the fast movement of the people in Yanjiao, the Longboat tribe would have lost two at a time when they came over this time.

"Don't think that these things have no attack power if their heads are cut off. Be careful, or you'll be too late to cry. Shao Xuan said to those people.

Because they had been to similar dangerous mountain forests, many of the places where the hunting team traveled before the Yanjiao tribe moved to their homeland were such forests. Especially for the advance team, the difficulty is no less than here. Therefore, even if Mai and Tuo are here for the first time, they can adapt quickly.

The first time I came here, I was not familiar with the terrain and terrain, and I couldn't quickly find a cave for people to rest, so I still had to eat and sleep in the open many times. Two days ago, when they were looking for a place to rest, they spent the night in the open air on a mountain. The cave was not found, so he rested in a leeward place near the mountainside.

The slave team that passed by here in front should have also rested here, leaving traces of their activities.

There are some carved paintings on the mountain wall, based on Shao Xuan's understanding of the stones, many paintings on the mountain wall were not left in a short period of time, and some of them should have passed a long time, which also proves that there were also slave teams sent in the past.

found traces of the activities of the slaves, and also confirmed Shao Xuan's guess. The people of Yanling City have definitely caught the blue-faced fangs!

From time to time along the way, they would see the corpses of some slaves, some of which had been gnawed so that they could not be seen, some of which were mutilated, and in such a place, people were the prey.

At noon, two people from the Weiba tribe went to the river to fetch water, but they would not get too close to the river, and one of them was dragged into the river because they were too close the day before yesterday, and they didn't even see what was being dragged clearly.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and they are also very physically exhausted and sweating all over. Walking in the woods, although the foliage above blocks out a large area of sunlight, everyone can feel the higher and higher temperatures, and the demand for water is getting stronger.

A filament was tied to a hard shell that looked like a coconut, and a hole half the size of a fist was dug in the round shell, and a stone was tied to the shell, and then the round shell and the stone were thrown together to the river twenty meters away.

With a bang, the round shell was dragged down by the bound stones, and the river water poured into the round shell from the dug opening, and when it was almost done, the two warriors of Weiba suddenly pulled the silk in their hands, trying to pull back the round shell that had been filled with water.

As soon as the round shell filled with water came out of the water, and when it was pulled into the air, a figure nearly two meters long suddenly jumped out of the river, and it bit the round shell that was pulled into the air, and then fell into the water again, splashing the water in all directions.

The two warriors who fetched the water could still clearly hear the clatter of the round hard shell holding the water.

However, they had seen this similar situation several times, and after a slight surprise, they calmly took out the same round hard shell again, and threw it into the river, this time without being bitten, and the water was successfully fetched.

"Next time, you can change the sturdy silk and fish. Shao Xuan looked at the still turbulent river and said. The figure that jumped up just now looked like a lizard without legs, and it should also be a fish in the river.

The warrior of Mihachi thought about it, too, if the strong silk thread is bitten when taking water, it can still drag the contents of the water out, maybe the food at night will be solved. He couldn't drag it alone, so he asked the people of Yanjiao to help, and Yanjiao was very powerful.

After treatment, some silk is soft enough to weave clothes, while some are stronger, just harder, suitable for weaving webs to trap prey, etc.

It was a rare experience for the young people in the team, far more than the one in the desert.

Not only did they have to follow the slaves, but they also had to deal with food, water, and sometimes the caves with the bears. The fierce beast mountain forest at night is much safer than the cave.

When they were looking for a place to spend the night and rest, they encountered a situation of robbing the cave, but that time they failed to win, the giant bear was too shrewd to come out at all, no matter how they provoked, they only stayed in the cave, guarding the place.

If the bear is lured out of the hole, everyone can rely on the advantage of numbers to deal with it, and maybe even turn it into dinner, but if the bear does not come out, it will be difficult to do. The people outside couldn't rush in, and the bear in the cave made full use of the location to defend, and the people in the team couldn't lure it out in turn.

Qu Ce and several people were also roared by the giant bear, it is estimated that the giant bear had eaten fish, and the saliva star that roared out still had a strong fishy smell, and now Qu Ce is still walking with a fishy smell.

However, I don't know if it was the influence of the giant bear's spit, but several times the people in the team were attacked by ambushed beasts, but none of them attacked Qu Ce, which was another kind of luck for him.

Another half day passed, and when the team had crossed a mountain, they stopped halfway up the mountain, intending to rest there.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Shao Xuan standing on a stone and looking into the distance, Duo Kang and several people came over and asked.

Shao Xuan pointed ahead, "Do you notice anything different?"

"Different?"

Duokang and the others looked in that direction, "There are a lot of mountains. ”

"Not only that, but the leaves in that place are very different. Shao Xuan sighed pointedly.

"When you say that, I think the leaves look ...... Tender and tender. Feeling his chin, Dolcan reached out and plucked the leaves from a nearby bush and looked at it.

Perhaps because of the hot weather and the lack of rain, many of the plants here look wilted, and the leaves on the branches of the trees a little further from the main trunk look very unrefreshed.

However, if you look at that direction again, although because of the distance, you can't see what kind of plants grow on the mountains there, but the green over there is indeed very eye-catching, even if the sun has been slanted, it can't make them dull, especially in such a hot climate, the green over there gives people the feeling, like the water is so fresh that you can pinch out the water with a slight pinch, which is very refreshing.

"Hey, look, there's smoke over there!" Mai said.

Mai's voice also caused the rest of the group to gather and look ahead.

In the midst of the towering mountains, some gray smoke rises from the mountains and forests in the verdant green vision. However, because of the wind, it was blown away as soon as it came up.

"It's the slaves!

"Finally caught up!" the people in the team were shocked.

Shao Xuan looked at the mountain over there and said, "Perhaps, what they are looking for is in the mountains and forests in front." ”

The team was silent, and more than fifty pairs of eyes looked at Shao Xuan in unison.

"What does Elder Shao Xuan mean, that's it?" asked Reed Ye.

Along the way, they have seen a lot, and their attitude towards the Yanjiao people has also changed significantly, especially Shao Xuan, who plays a decision-making role, and when the people who play a decision-making role, they will also bring the word "elder" when they speak, which is also a kind of recognition.

However, Shao Xuan didn't care about these, and he didn't have the heart to care if others recognized him.

At this moment, Shao Xuan looked at the mountains and forests in front of him, thinking about the information of the blue-faced fangs in his heart.

There are many mountains in front of it, and there should be a lot of water, giving people a sense of tranquility and tranquility at first sight, and it is also a special area in the fierce beast mountain forest. The green-faced fangs are really likely to be over there. (To be continued.) )

PS: The next chapter will be late, everyone will go to bed first.

In 2015, I said goodnight to everyone for the last time.
