Chapter 219: Dark Clouds Appear

Several tribes were still very happy to get the new weapons, and the water turned over and over, but most of the pottery pills were still on the boat, and they hadn't even moved into the cave, so they could only be used as a few for fun at this time.

Originally, there were not many things exchanged before winter, and they were afraid that there would not be enough food in winter, but this year's scale was already large, although the tribe that came was less than half of the before, but it was still lively, but after all, there were few people, the sun had not yet set, and the exchange was basically over.

Obviously, today also has to be spent overnight, and Song Xuan also intends for them to talk about the ferocity of the Wuyu tribe, but after all, they have no personal experience, even if they know that Wuyu is very terrifying, they have no other expressions, and the response is not particularly good.

Wu Yu has already lost so many people, even if he will go south in the future, but obviously there are Teng snakes in the north, and it has little to do with them.

Although they also know the truth of cold lips and teeth, they are all small tribes after all, and now that the strength of the Teng Snake is here, they are not very willing to insert it.

Seeing that a few people didn't have any ideas at all, Song Xuan didn't continue to ask, human nature is like this, if Wu Yu beat them and fled in all directions, without Song Xuan saying it, a few people would also ask Teng Snake for help, and now that there is no threat to them, they naturally don't want to get involved anymore.

Since a few people have no ideas for the time being, Song Xuan feels that it is not easy to force it, although with the strength of Teng Snake, if it is really strong, it is estimated that it is not easy for them to refuse, just like the Teng Snake before, Teng Snake has also experienced such a thing, do not do it to others if you don't want it.

Anyway, even if there is any action, it will definitely be after the beginning of spring next year, and there is no hurry.

Although several tribes were not attacked, after all, several tribes were wiped out, and the excitement of the exchange was gradually disappearing at this time.

After experiencing so many things, the people of the kite tribe have gradually come out of the pain, and now the revenge has basically been avenged, although the tribe has been destroyed, but fortunately, there are still dozens of people alive, even if there is no hope of reconstruction, but in the Teng Snake life, they do not feel wronged, and even for them, the Teng Snake people have a lot of care.

The current Teng Snake, in addition to the captives, is basically a gathering place for the injured, and it is still understandable for their feelings, so everyone usually pays attention to this aspect, but the scars in their hearts can only be erased by time.

Although Teng Snake didn't do anything to them, several leaders obviously respected Song Xuan more than before, although the previous Teng Snake was also quite powerful, but it didn't make them feel too much pressure, and now Teng Snake is completely different, even if people don't move, it still makes them feel a little uneasy.

Several tribes don't even have the ability to resist, after all, even if Teng Snake casually withdraws a few people now, he can have more than all the people in their entire tribe.

They also don't have as good weapons and equipment as Teng Snake, and obviously have no possibility of confronting them at all.

Although Song Xuan has the intention to build a strong enough Teng Snake tribe, it has to rely on his own development, whether it is Teng Snake or Song Xuan's previous country, they all came from the road of being invaded, if they can develop peacefully, it is naturally the best thing, but at the same time, they must not be afraid of war, if the enemy invades, it is the best way to completely defeat it.

Even if there is a tribe hunting at this time, it is generally not too far away from their own tribe, the main thing is to clean up the beasts around, anyway, if you run too far, there will not be a lot of harvest, it is not as convenient as coming closer to home.

So everyone didn't rush back, and after getting up, they had a good breakfast, and then they started to pack their things.

Anyway, Teng Snake is generous, this breakfast is completely in charge of Teng Snake, although the food they eat comes from the food they exchange for Teng Snake, but after all, Teng Snake has nothing to say if he doesn't give it to everyone.

As for the location of the exchange conference in the future, several tribes have also redetermined, because the upstream tribes have basically disappeared, the location of the exchange can be determined completely.

After deliberation, future exchange meetings were scheduled to be held on a small hillside not far from the Blackwater tribe.

Although the conditions are not particularly good, it is about the same distance from several tribes, and it can be reached in about four days, so it is fair for everyone.

This is also considered to save time, so that even if it is held with a notice, it will only consume half a month at most, and if you only count the time for each tribe to participate, it can be completed in eight or nine days.

It is important to know that in the past, when the exchange conference was held, it was generally a month's notice in advance, otherwise it would be difficult to arrive at the same time.

Of course, the distance between the various tribes is also closer now, even if there is no exchange meeting, there are more contacts.

If a powerful tribe only has a snake, it doesn't have to be the same as before, and it also needs to take into account the feelings of several other slightly stronger tribes, which is also a good thing for small tribes such as the Niu tribe.

As for the specific location, Song Xuan promised a few leaders, and the Teng Snake will choose a good place later, and if there are conditions, it can also be built a little at that time, and the exchange and blind date conference will basically stay overnight, and the conditions should not be too bad, at least wait for a sheltered place.

Anyway, it won't be too troublesome to build a few simple wooden sheds in such a place, and this kind of thing is the most suitable for Teng Snake to do, although a few people didn't say it, but basically they all tacitly agreed that the future exchange conference would be hosted by Teng Snake.

This can still reduce the pressure for several tribes, in the past, when it was their turn to inform other tribes, it would always make them feel a little headache, after all, at least three or four people had to be dispatched, one back and forth, most of the months had passed, and not only could not hunt during this time, but also had to bring enough food.

For them, who are already a little nervous, it is tantamount to adding insult to injury, if the year is good, it is okay, if the harvest is not good that year, it will bring great pressure to the life of the entire tribe.

But once it's the turn, it's obviously impossible to do it, after all, this is all a matter that has been discussed from the beginning, and if it really refuses, it will only cause displeasure to other tribes, and it is not impossible to eliminate it when the time comes.

So no matter how hard it is, they will grit their teeth and stumble, unless they really can't hold on, if even life becomes a problem, other tribes can understand, just like the sheep tribe has been only participating in it in the past few years, and no one has asked them to notify other tribes.

But in the future, they don't have to worry about this, the Teng Snake is in charge, they just have to wait in the tribe.

Although they exchanged things with Teng Snake, they basically exchanged food from Teng Snake, but in the past, it was actually similar, and several powerful tribes only had extra things to exchange, like they were only exchanged for some necessary living materials.

Even have to hope that some of the precious animal skins and horns brought can be seen by other tribes, and now the Teng Snake is basically accepted in full, especially the better animal skins, although they are somewhat inconsistent with their value, but the warmth effect is also quite obvious, and the things that the Teng Snake needs to exchange are not so precious, at least for the Teng Snake, this exchange does not need to be too careful.

The two sides are also in a prosperous relationship, and if the other tribes develop well, they will also feed the snake from the other side.

However, just as everyone had discussed all the things and were about to break up, they saw a boat suddenly floating not far away.

"Hey, which tribe is this?"

Watching the canoe paddle towards the foot of the mountain, it was obviously something important, but the distance was a little far, and it was not clear which tribe it was, but it could basically be ruled out.

After all, the Zhen tribe came from the downstream, and the boat was obviously rowed from the upstream, and even Song Xuan was a little worried, if something happened to the Teng Snake.

"Let's go, let's see!"

The things were already packed, so everyone set off to see what was going on.

When everyone walked to the foot of the mountain, they collided with the people walking up, and Shi Song, who was in charge of keeping an eye at the foot of the mountain, was leading the three people up.

"Oracle!"

"He ......"

As soon as Song Xuan spoke, he caught a glimpse of Niu He on the side rushing out:

"Niu Yang, what's wrong?"

There is no need to ask more questions now, it seems that it must be someone from the Niu tribe, Song Xuan and several other tribal leaders also stepped forward quickly, at this time, the people from the Niu tribe obviously encountered something urgent, otherwise Niu He would be able to return to the tribe in the next two days.

"First ...... Chief, Tribe......"

“……”

The man, Niu Yang, quickly made the situation clear, but for several tribes, it was like another bolt from the blue.

The day after Niu He left the tribe with people, more than a dozen people suddenly came to the Niu tribe, fortunately, Niu He told him before leaving, and the Niu tribe was surrounded by grass and had a very wide field of vision, so he found this group of people far away.

After discovering that someone was coming, the people of the Niu tribe also behaved very calmly, gathered everyone around them back, and closed the tribe gate at the same time, and everyone took their weapons and waited behind the wall.

"Is the Ox River Leader here? I'm from the wolf tribe......"

One sentence revealed the true identity of this group of people, they were the group of dark clouds who had escaped from Song Xuan's hands by luck.

After Wuyun led people to successfully get rid of Song Xuan's pursuit, he didn't know where to go for a while, the road of the Northern Teng Snake would definitely not dare to go, and he could also imagine that after his side was defeated, Wucang on the other side would definitely not be able to resist.

But if you want to return to the Black Feather tribe by detour, it will take at least half a month, the time is okay, and they are not so nervous, but they don't have enough food on them, although there are three horses to eat, but if they don't arrive, it will definitely not be able to support them through the winter.

This route is still calculated according to the detour of the wolf tribe, it can be expected that the wolf tribe will be defeated with them here, as for the women who are still in the wolf tribe, they will definitely not be able to escape the "poisonous hand" of the snake, if they make a detour, it will take longer.

At the same time, because it is not a familiar road, it also adds a lot of risks.

Even if it is a dark cloud, there is not enough confidence that it will be able to take everyone back to the tribe before the heavy snow covers the mountain.

Teng Snake is lying in the north, it is naturally impossible to rush over, with more than 300 people did not defeat Teng Snake, and was beaten to a falling flower, not to mention this little bit of people now, once encountered, it can basically be regarded as sending meat to the door.

And the detour means that it will take a lot of time, whether it is the daily necessities carried, or the coming winter, it is not allowed, they detour, and the only road at present, it is possible to be under the control of the snake, and then find the road, it is both dangerous and takes time.

Just when the dark clouds were troubled by this, the words of one of the wolf tribes who escaped suddenly woke him up:

"Dark Cloud Chief, ...... Why don't we go downstream! ”

After experiencing this battle, Wuyun's original heart was basically beaten by Song Xuan, so after deciding to get rid of the pursuit, the first thing he thought about was how to return to the tribe safely, but he didn't expect to find another way, there are several tribes downstream of Teng Snake, and there are not many people.

Although there are only eleven people left of them now, if they can blend in as before, the possibility of success is very high, even if they can't succeed, they may be able to exchange some food for holding a few people hostage, and now their most important thing is to find a way to survive.

And venturing all the way north, it's really a good idea.

After asking about the distance and the specific number of people in the lower reaches, the dark clouds made a decision and directly killed the Niu tribe, which gathered three tribes in this area, and the distance was relatively close, and it only took eight or nine days to walk over.

The only trouble was the need to cross the river in front of you, but unless the clouds were determined to go from the completely unfamiliar west, the river would certainly not be able to be crossed.

Although it was a little distressing, these horses definitely did not cross the river, and it was possible upstream, but the Teng snake was blocking there, and there was no way to pass.

In the end, they can only be ruthlessly killed, and if they don't kill now, they can't stay behind, even if they go downstream, they have to have something to eat, they have run to the present, even there are only eight weapons, and the food is even less pitiful, except for a few people from the wolf tribe who brought a little, the people of the black feather are not at all.

So much food is not enough for eleven people to eat, let alone last eight or nine days, no matter what, these horses will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being reduced to food.

After determining the direction, under the leadership of the wolf tribesmen, Wuyun and his party immediately walked downstream.

Dark clouds they do not have a good water nature, and can only choose the slowest section of the water flow to cross, even so, it also needs the wolf tribe two people to take turns to stand in the past, just to cross the river took half a day, after all, it is still very physically exhausting to go back and forth, and in the end there is no way, the people of the wolf tribe can only let the dark clouds they first learn to lie in the river, and then completely rely on the water flow to drive, and then slowly adjusted by one person, although it will deviate far away, but it can be regarded as saving physical strength.

The dark clouds now regret a little, why set fire to the kite and bear tribes, otherwise there is still a place to live in the past, and there is no need to worry about living materials other than food, no matter which tribe, there were a lot of firewood and animal skins at that time, and now it is useless to want to go back, at this time everything has turned to ashes.

The next best result is that they successfully mixed into a tribe, and then found a way to capture it, as long as they can get in, they basically have the capital to survive the winter, and the worse is to find a way to get some food, and then find a cave to hide, as long as the food is sufficient, the conditions are not a problem.

At least in the eyes of Wuyun and others, the probability of success is still very high.

But what they didn't expect was that as soon as they arrived near the Niu tribe, they saw everyone in the Niu tribe walking into the tribe, and then closed the door.

Although there were some suspicions, but in the end they still thought that this was the cow tribe was more careful, although the people of the wolf tribe knew that this year's exchange conference had not yet had time to be held, but after thinking about it carefully, they all felt that Teng Snake should not be able to free his hand.

"Wolf tribe!?"

Hearing that this is a person from the wolf tribe, it directly caused a lot of commotion among the cattle tribe, and the wolf tribe led the wolf into the house, and the people with black feathers came to attack other tribes has already spread.

Originally, he was guarding against a few people, but after knowing that it was someone from the wolf tribe at this time, he became even more cautious.

But most of the men of the cattle tribe went to hunt around, and there were only some women and children at home, and the only two members of the hunting team did not dare to directly pick out, although the number of enemies was not large, but if a conflict really broke out, it would definitely cause certain casualties, and for the now thriving cattle tribe, everyone must not want to see such a thing.

Even if it's not a head-to-head confrontation, having such a group of enemies and guarding around them will make them feel a lot of pressure.

Niu Yang was one of the two people who were arranged to stay in the tribe that day, even if he didn't dare to provoke the people in front of him, he definitely couldn't let them stay here, and after a little thought, he said:

"Friends of the wolf tribe, our leader has gone to Teng Snake, and he will be able to come back the day after tomorrow, if there is anything, you should wait for the leader to come back!"

Niu Yang naturally wanted to use the name of Teng Snake to scare more than a dozen people not far away.

Hearing that Niu He was going to Teng Snake, it did make the Wuyun people nervous, and they heard that the people inside wanted them to wait until Niu He came back to talk about things, but when Niu He came back, he naturally knew everything, and under his eyes, the people of the tribe had to continue:

"Then you guys let us go in first, we really have something urgent waiting for the leader of the Ox River to say!"

Although he knew that the person in front of him was full of nonsense, Niu Yang did not expose it, and thought of another way to refuse:

"Before the chief left, he said that if anyone comes, he will go to the mountain on the east side, where there is a cave......

"Friends of the wolf tribe, you better go and wait there!"

……

Although the refusal of the Niu tribe was vaguely logical, the dark clouds were still very keen to see what was wrong, and glanced at the fence in front of him hatefully, and said:

"Let's go!"

The people of the wolf tribe still wanted to continue to fight for it, and said with some reluctance:

"Dark Cloud Leader, or I'll ......"

"Let's go!"

Seeing that the attitude of the black cloud was a little tough, the people of the wolf tribe naturally did not dare to say anything, they could only keep up with the footsteps of the dark cloud, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, at this time, the people of the black feather tribe were still a little more than them, and the combat effectiveness was obviously a little stronger.

However, although there are three more people in the Black Feather Tribe in terms of numbers, they have been reduced to such a point after all, they belong to the grasshoppers on the same line, and they need people from the Wolf Tribe to guide the way across the river.

The dark clouds' attitude towards the enemies of the wolf tribe is also much better, not as high as before, and they don't regard them as human beings at all.

Seeing that a few people were a little confused, Wuyun still patiently explained:

"They already know!"

"Got it? …… They're not saying ......"

Immediately reacted, the Niu tribe they have not been here, and there are times when Niu He is not there, but they have never encountered a situation where they are allowed to live in a cave before, and the wolf tribe has also held the salt no matter what it says, even if the iris rain sees them, they are very polite, not to mention the Niu tribe, which is not strong.

In the past, the people who came to the Niu tribe were respectful, but now they are guarding against them everywhere, and let them live, and the cave obviously wants to keep enough distance from them, maybe it is waiting for the people to gather and find a way to solve them.

"Let's go! The next tribe will sneak up on you! ”

"Yes!"

…………

After listening to Niu Yang's description, the grass seedlings and Mu Quan, who had just relaxed a little, were indeed nervous, after all, according to Niu Yang, the direction in which the remnants of the dark clouds were going was their two tribes.

Although they also said hello before leaving, after all, the area around the tribe was not as empty as that of the Niu tribe, and the nearest woods were only a few dozen meters away from the fence, so it was obviously very dangerous for these dozen people to touch the closer.

These dozen or so people were obviously introduced to them by Song Xuan last night, and at that time, he Song Xuan also made a special mention that if they encountered, even if they were not caught, they had to inform Teng Snake of the news as soon as possible, and Teng Snake would also give corresponding compensation for the consumption along the way and the time wasted by manpower.

What no one expected was that the news had already been received today.

Seeing that there might be danger in the tribe, several people also hurriedly said to Song Xuan:

"Oracle, then let's go back to the tribe!"

Although Niu Yang said that he saw the dark clouds and they left the sight, he also immediately changed to a boat to report, and no one could guarantee that the dark clouds and his party would kill a horse pistol, and Niu He also had the idea of returning to the tribe immediately.

Song Xuan was already angry about letting go of a few people, after all, Wuyun was the most important war criminal in this war, if he could be caught, it was obvious that the victory would be more complete.

The iris rain and they were even more eager to eat its flesh, sleep its skin, and meet the eyes of several people, Song Xuan immediately said:

"Let's go, let's go together!"

Several leaders were also stunned for a moment when they heard Song Xuan's words, but when they thought of Teng Snake's achievements in the face of Wu Yu, they immediately felt that they would be much safer, Teng Snake had more than twenty people who came to participate in the exchange conference alone, almost all of them were as many as adult males in their tribe, and there were people with Teng Snake, if there was a conflict, they would not suffer.
