The words of the Gu tribe witch made the hearts of the Yanjiao people vigilant.

The people of the Gu tribe told them that there was danger in the river, that there might be strange fish or something, and that several patrolling Gu tribe warriors had disappeared from the river bank before, and that there were more and more fierce beasts in the woods.

Shao Xuan and the others sometimes rest on the shore at night, and they have also encountered some troubles, but they are all minor troubles, which are much better than in the mountains and forests where murderers are everywhere. However, this time, Shao Xuan didn't dare to be careless. The people of the Gu tribe couldn't find the reason after they suffered losses, and they didn't want to die in a daze.

"The night watchman is vigilant at night. Shao Xuan said to them after returning to the ship.

On the side of the Gu tribe, after Shao Xuan and the others left, the fires on the grass no longer added firewood, just waiting for the fire to be extinguished.

The wind blew, and the firewood in the fire flashed red.

In the Poppy Witch House, in addition to the Witch, there are more than a dozen people, all of whom are people who have the right to speak in the Poppy Tribe, including the silk bones and the elders of the Poppy Tribe. There is a glowing water moon stone in the house, and the lighting tools they use at night are glowing hedrons instead of fires, and it is easy to burn the house with torches and the like. In addition to the water moon stone, there are some other spars, but the water moon stone is used more, and they are exchanged for it through other people's hands.

"Wu, do you think the Flamehorn people are aware of anything?" asked one of them.

"If they perceive it better, maybe they'll leave immediately. But the poppy tribe lowered his eyelids, making it impossible to see what his expression was.

"And what if they don't leave, stay here for a few more days?" the man asked again.

"There's no other way. ”

"Didn't you say that the Flamehorns were very powerful and could hunt fierce beasts, and if they helped......

"How do you know the Flamehorns will help us if they take the opportunity to do something else, or steal our things? What should I do?" said an old man, worried.

"I don't think so. Silk Bone said loudly, "This trip to the Yanhe Trading Area has allowed me to see many things that I couldn't imagine before, and as for the Yanjiao tribe, they shouldn't come to rob us of our things." ”

"That's just what you think, who knows if Yanjiao will take advantage of the chaos to snatch it. Or are they secretly attacking us? Although there are only two hundred people, everyone should know that those two hundred people are not easy to deal with, not to mention, there is also the Great Elder of Yanjiao. The old man was even more worried when he thought about it.

"The Great Elder of Flame Horn...... It's kind of weird. When the Gu tribe Wu heard them mention "Great Elder of Yanjiao", his tone was puzzled, he always felt that this Great Elder of Yanjiao was different from others. No. All the people in Flamehorn were different from the tribesmen he had seen, but the Great Elder of Flamehorn was even more different.

"Regardless of whether Yanjiao leaves or not, the first thing we need to do now is to guard against those more and more fierce beasts attacking our tribe!" When he said this, the Wu of the Gu tribe suddenly set off a fierce murderous aura around his body, like a net full of blades, and his sharp eyes looked at the night outside the house. It seems to want to cut through this darkness and find the hidden figure in it.

Deeper nights.

Although the moon casts a faint silvery light on the night. But under the woods, there is still a lot of darkness.

The forest was so dense that most of the trees near the habitat chosen by the Gu tribe were taller than their houses, and the outstretched branches blocked out the moonlight, casting large shadows on the circular spires.

The voices of the tribe gradually subsided, and some people fell asleep. Some of them kept their eyes open and listened to the movement outside.

In the woods, the guards hidden, almost blending in with the night, breathing as if in sync with the evening breeze.

On a riverside boat. The night watchmen were outside staring at the river, and the people in the cabins were resting.

Driven by the evening breeze, the water of the Yan River washes the shore one after another, and when it hits the stones, it makes a crackling sound and the water breaks.

The boat swayed slightly on the surface of the river, making a creaking sound.

Shao Xuan was sleeping with his eyes closed, when he suddenly opened his eyes, rolled over and got off the bed, and walked out of the cabin.

Seeing Shao Xuan suddenly coming out, the night watchman tonight hurriedly asked, "Great Elder, but what have you noticed?"

"What did you find?" asked Shao Xuan.

The night watchman glanced at each other, thought for a while, and said: "I just feel a little uneasy, there was a sound in the forest just now, it should be the movement of the Gu tribe, maybe there is a fierce beast falling into the trap of the Gu tribe, there is a short battle, but the fierce beast should have fled, and now there is no movement." River ...... It's not calm either, but we can't say exactly where it is. ”

Shao Xuan brought out people with rich hunting experience, their intuition is very keen, maybe not very precise, but they can still detect it roughly.

"What's wrong?" Tuo came out of the cabin, looked around, and suddenly said, "It's quiet in the river. ”

The night watchman just now said that the river was not peaceful, but Tuo said that the river was quiet, which is not contradictory. It is precisely because of this quietness that it seems strange.

In the past, even at night, there would be fish floating on the surface of the river from time to time, the tail of the fish would make a sound when the river water was stirred, some would even jump and then smash into the water to make a cooing sound, and some fish that could prey on the insects on the shore would dive to the shallow water on the shore and attack at any time.

But now, there was no sound of fish preying on the shore, no movement of fish floating and swinging in the river, and no fish jumping anywhere, nothing but the waves of the evening breeze.

Beneath this calm façade lies something else.

Shao Xuan glanced at the surrounding river, and then looked at a certain direction upstream, "You guys stay here first, and I'll go over and have a look." ”

As he spoke, Shao Xuan jumped off the boat and whispered upstream along the woods on the shore.

"I'll go too. Tuo jumped down behind Shao Xuan, and didn't hear Shao Xuan's objection, so he continued to follow. Shao Xuan is too dangerous to be alone, and he can still help.

If it was completely dark, Tuo's movements would definitely be greatly restricted, but now that the moonlight at night is getting brighter and brighter, Tuo's vision will be less disturbed, which is why Shao Xuan agreed with Tuo to follow.

The riverbank is actually some distance from the habitat of the Gu tribe, and the fire breath of the Gu tribe felt here is also very weak.

Shao Xuan shuttled through the woods on the shore, running and stopping, and approached somewhere upstream under the cover of the sound of the evening breeze blowing the leaves.

Tuo followed Shao Xuan behind, and when he saw Shao Xuan suddenly stop, he also quickly stopped and gestured to Shao Xuan: Is there a problem?

Shao Xuan motioned for him to be calm and wait.

Tuo held his breath and listened carefully to the movements around him. The next moment, he suddenly had a feeling of numbness in his scalp, the evening breeze seemed to have dropped to freezing, and the cold of the forest rushed up along the vertebrae, blowing so that he couldn't wait to shiver, and the blood all over his body was shouting, there was danger here!

There was a sound of water not far away, like something was coming out of the river!

However, as he pondered what to do next, that feeling quickly faded again.

The sense of crisis that made his back sweat gradually subside, and Tuo Cai breathed carefully.

When the sense of crisis was completely gone, there was a sudden rustling sound on the shore, as if something was walking on the grass.

Tuo wiped the cold sweat and looked at Shao Xuan: Do you want to do it?

If you don't have that strong sense of crisis, then the voice just now should be other nocturnal beasts, don't worry about this.

But Shao Xuan waved his hand and motioned for Tuo to continue waiting.

The squirming was gone, and the shore was calm again.

Shao Xuan moved closer to the riverbank, then found a suitable place, hid in a tree, let the branches cover his figure, flicked the branches, and looked through the gap between the branches to the place where there was the sound of water on the riverbank just now. (To be continued.) )
