The cormorant flew north with Ye Xi.

They flew over vast tropical rainforests, over ocean-like mega-lakes, and over rolling hills.

In more than a month, Ye Xi was extremely efficient and found more than a dozen small meteorites and more than 20 small and medium-sized tribes on the way.

For these tribes, Ye Xi all sent out invitations to invite them to join Xicheng.

With the fall of the meteorite rain, there are more and more mutated beasts and fierce insects on the wild land, and the small and medium-sized tribes are weak and difficult to resist them, they are frowning, anxious and unspeakable, and they are ecstatic and surprised to get Ye Xi's invitation.

Most of the tribal chiefs were very vigilant, they felt that Ye Xi's invitation was strange, they felt that there was no such good thing in the world, no big tribe would be so sympathetic to provide them with shelter, and Xicheng's reputation was not obvious, they had never even heard of it, so they didn't immediately agree at first.

But later, Ye Xi won their trust with his strength, fine wine, bronzes, and sketches that were amazing in their eyes, and they felt that staying where they were would die, so they simply believed in Ye Xi once, and their hearts were crossed, and they accepted the invitation.

The population of these more than 20 small and medium-sized tribes adds up to more than 40,000, but the road is dangerous, all kinds of giant insects and beasts are infested, and it is really hard to say how many of them can successfully reach Xicheng, maybe 30,000, maybe 20,000, maybe 10,000, maybe only a few thousand......

The cormorant spreads its wings and soars slowly in the sky.

The hot wind blew the tips of Ye Xi's hair.

He sat cross-legged in the center of the cormorant's back, his eyes closed, holding a few yarrows, his fingers nimbly moving between them.

After a while, a few yarrow sprouts began to spontaneously combust from their roots, and suddenly all of them turned to ashes, blown away by the wind.

Ye Xi opened his eyes,

"Quack, let's go down. ”

He is now a great witch, although he is a wisher, but he is also a little proficient in divination, and he can use yarrow to calculate the traces of the surrounding tribes and source stones.

But it's just punctual and inaccurate, half of it depends on luck, just now he used yarrow divination to find out that there seems to be a tribe nearby, so he plans to look for it, and by the way eat to fill his stomach.

The cormorant chirped crisply, spotted a small river on the ground, and slowly descended there.

Ye Xi jumped off the back of the cormorant.

There are many tung trees growing around here, at this time the tung trees are in bloom, the leaves are dotted with a lot of delicate, bright red white flowers, the river bank of the tung blossoms are extraordinarily luxuriant, more flowers than leaves, continuous into a beautiful sea of flowers.

The cormorant stands in the creek and bows its head to drink the water.

The small river beside the sea of tung blossoms is wide and shallow, and the grebes stand in the middle of the river, and the water only submerges to the base of its claws.

Ye Xi walked to the river and found that there were many small cherry red fruits growing in the clear river water, and these small fruits seemed to grow from some kind of aquatic grass.

These aquatic plants look a bit like goldfish algae, emerald green, swaying in the clear water, and the whole river is dyed emerald green by them.

Ye Xi fished in the river and found a handful of cherry red aquatic plant fruits.

He threw one into his mouth.

This cherry-like aquatic plant fruit is very juicy, sweet in the mouth, but slightly astringent.

"It tastes good!"

He took off his leather boots and walked out into the river, ready to catch more aquatic plants and fruits.

The aquatic plants are too lush, stepping on the river is like stepping on a soft carpet, the river is gurgling, and the swaying aquatic plants gently brush Ye Xi's calves, making him tickle.

The clear green river, the sea of flowers floating in the dark fragrance, and the delicate and delicious small fruits all made Ye Xi feel very good, and even his slightly swollen and aching head after the divination was soothed.

"Whoa!"

The cormorant was also in a good mood, and raised its head and chirped gracefully.

However, it was not interested in the fruit of the river, and with a flick of its wings, it decided to hunt some other place to fill its belly. When he took off, his wings swept across the river, and the clear water droplets fluttered on Ye Xi's body.

Ye Xi smiled, and instead of wiping the water droplets, he plunged his head into the river water, letting the cool river water wash away the dirt and heat.

Then he found that the river, though full of water and fruits, had no fish.

"Could it be that this aquatic plant is poisonous?"

Ye Xi pulled a root of aquatic grass into his mouth and chewed it.

"It's a fishy aquatic weed, but it's ...... It's not poisonous, why are there no fish here? ”

He half-swam along the shallow water, looked around, and finally discovered the cause in the upper reaches of the river.

In the shallow and narrow part of the river is a large net woven with rattan ropes, which is the same net that stops the fish and water beasts upstream.

Ye Xi was pleasantly surprised when he saw it: "There really is a tribe here!"

"This net is supposed to be used to prevent fish and water beasts from eating aquatic grass fruits, and with this rattan net, the tribe that lays the net can easily catch the clogged fish on the other side of the net, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”

Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked around,

"This tribe has set up this big net, but why is there no one, there should be someone here to guard it, otherwise what if the rattan net is bitten by a water beast?"

"Well, I'll find someone later. ”

Ye Xi fished a few fat fish, went ashore to make a fire to roast them and eat them, and then took out a small stone jar from the animal skin bag.

This small jar is the same small jar for misanthropic insects.

He opened the jar and pulled out the misanthropic worm.

The world-weary insect lay on Ye Xi's palm, arched its body like an inchworm, and flicked towards the woods, immediately bounced ten meters away, and flicked again, this time on the branch of the tung tree.

It stared at a hungry little bird dragon.

Ornithosaurus was a small, feathered, gliding dinosaur that usually fed on insects on the tung tree, but now it saw the misanthropic insect in front of it, and its brown eyes rolled slightly, and it pecked at it like lightning without thinking about it.

Unfortunately, before it could take the misanthropic in its mouth, a stone burst through the air and pierced its head, killing it.

The misanthropic hunched over for a moment and began to slowly devour the carcass of the ornithosaurus.

When the world-weary insect swallowed all the small bird dragon corpses and bulged into a fat ball like a pufferfish, Ye Xi appeared and grabbed it, put it into a slightly larger stone jar, and then closed the lid and waited quietly.

After a while, like popcorn, there was a popping sound in the stone jar.

Ye Xi opened the lid with a smile, twisted the soft misanthropic insect that had not fully woken up with two fingers, peeled off the tumor on its body, and then stuffed it back into the small stone jar.

"Bang!

He patted the large stone jar.

Sticking to the walls of the jar, the goose-yellow powder shook down.

Ye Xi carefully poured most of the powder into a small bottle made of spar, and the remaining small part of the powder was left in the large stone jar.

Then he poured some water into it, and after watching the water stained with goose-yellow powder turn into orange slime, he threw a lot of small insects into it.
