Chapter 258: The sneak attack failed
"Let's go, go home!"
This time, the speed of refining salt is still very fast, the speed of mining has increased a lot, and there are more people who can be arranged to other places, and it only took eight days before and after to meet Song Xuan's expectations.
However, for the sake of safety, Song Xuan still let everyone refine some more, after all, the population in the tribe is relatively large now, and the demand of several other tribes is getting stronger and stronger, but this year is definitely going to come twice, so it is good to refine a little more for backup.
Although she was grinding ore all day, Xue'er was still full of interest and got along with everyone quite well, but she was still happy for a long time when she knew that she could go back today, after all, it was still relatively boring here.
"Wangcai, let's go!"
Hearing Xue'er's shout, Wangcai outside the valley ran back with three little wolves after a while, Wangcai spent much more time in the wild than in the valley these days, most of the time he took the three little wolves around hunting, but for some reason, there were not many prey brought back, and sometimes they could see their mouths full of blood.
Although it has added a lot of wildness, the little wolves have also grown up in the tribe since they were children, and they still seem relatively well-behaved after seeing familiar people.
Under the leadership of Wangcai, the farts were scattered around the team, with Wangcai following, Shi Yu was much easier, at least in terms of detecting the enemy's emotions and knowing the surrounding environment, Wangcai was much more agile as a beast than a human.
After staying in the valley for the past few days, and suddenly returning to the forest, everyone had a feeling of relaxation and joy, and the speed involuntarily slowed down.
I set off very early today, and I didn't delay going home, so it was slow, and the advantage of coming out to refine salt is that you don't need to carry too many materials, and now even the animal skin bedding Song Xuan has let people stay some, and when I came, the heaviest variety of dried meat food, now the heaviest is salt, although there are a lot of them, but the average is not much for everyone, compared with hunting, it is still much easier.
However, just as he was about to return to the tribe, Wangcai, who was at the forefront, changed his previous state and looked ahead very cautiously:
"Woo~Woo~"
The other three little wolves also reacted quickly, the same is true, as if there is an enemy in front of them, most of the team are hunting veterans, and they immediately stopped when they saw this situation, but the divine envoy was in the team, and everyone did not act easily, and quietly gathered first.
"Shi Yu, do you see anyone?"
Hearing Song Xuan's words, Shi Yu shook his head, obviously Wangcai was much farther away than he noticed, although he didn't know what the situation was, but everything still had to be stable.
The crowd piled salt together, drew their weapons, and assumed a fighting stance.
"Let's go, let's go up and have a look!"
Hearing that the divine envoy was going to step forward in person, Shi Yu was also stunned, he didn't dare to let Song Xuan take the risk himself before he figured out the specific situation.
But before Song Xuan waved his hand and walked forward, Shi Yu had to bring a few clever people to follow, and at the same time instructed the rest of the people to take good care of the women and salt.
There is not much doubt about Song Xuan's strength among the tribes, after all, he has participated in so many battles, and his performance is no worse than ordinary people, and his command ability is the only one among the tribes.
But after all, an oracle is an oracle, and his importance to the tribe is self-evident, and under normal circumstances, no one dares to let him take risks.
"Wangcai, go, lead the way!"
patted Wangcai's head and asked him to lead the way in front, after all, the situation was discovered by him, since he made such a gesture, there must be something in front, whether it is a human or a beast, at least the strength must have exceeded the extent that Wangcai can deal with it alone.
As for the three little wolves, they were left behind, although they also grew up in the tribe, but they are a little less spiritual, maybe they don't get along much often, although they are also obedient, but they are not as spiritual as Wangcai, and their energy is not as rich as Wangcai, and now they are brought out in this situation, and they are afraid that they will make some trouble, but they will be exposed in advance.
After walking forward for a while, he saw Shi Yu who was beating the head stop suddenly, and at the same time signaled everyone behind him to stop as well, this was obviously something found, Song Xuan then quietly came up, and as soon as he got closer, he heard Shi Yu whisper:
"Look, oracle!!"
Following the direction of Shi Yu's finger, there were indeed a few sneaky figures in the woods.
Although the distance is a little far, I can't see who it is, but whether it is the performance of Wangcai or the actions of this figure, it is basically impossible for Teng Snake to be his own person, and this place is quite close to the tribe, and it will only take ten minutes to walk to the tribe from here.
This group of people is still so sneaky, obviously deliberately avoiding people.
The most important thing is that there are no tribes near Teng Snake, although Song Xuan doesn't want to mention it, but I have to say that Teng Snake is indeed like a broom star, and none of the surrounding tribes have ended well.
If you can appear here without being like your own people, then the biggest possibility is that the Black Feather Tribe has sent someone to check on the situation again.
Although he pursued a long way north last year, Song Xuan didn't know if anyone had escaped at that time, after all, it was difficult to detect someone drilling into the mountains and forests halfway, and of course, it was very difficult to run back to the Wuyu tribe on two legs without carrying too much food.
Now it seems that if these people in front of them were black feather people, there should be nothing that slipped through the net last year, but what the specific situation is, we still have to catch them.
Since they have already run to the vicinity of the Teng Snake, they must not be let go easily.
Although it is very close to the tribe, it is more troublesome to quietly go back to the tribe from the side to call people, fortunately, there are not many people in front of them, Song Xuan and Shi Yu took people to carefully count a few times, and there are only seven people in total.
Teng Snake even has a large numerical advantage now, and although the people in the tribe don't know, that side is relatively dead, and it shouldn't have started lunch yet, as long as a few people appear, they will be discovered.
Looking at the sneaky appearance of a few people not far away, if you can sneak attack, it will still be easy to take it down, that is, Song Xuan immediately arranged for someone to go back and shake people.
Xue'er and a few women just looked at Yanba, and the others had to come over to participate in the arrest, and Song Xuan also wanted to know more about Wu Yu's current situation, so it was definitely more meaningful to capture him alive than to kill him directly.
However, in order to reduce possible casualties, Song Xuan still arranged a few archers in the team, and when the others approached, they did not leave their hands behind, and shot a few people directly, even if they didn't shoot at the fatal parts, they could greatly reduce their follow-up resistance.
"Up!"
With a wave of Song Xuan's big hand, more than a dozen people cautiously approached the people not far away, except for Shi Yu and a few people who pressed the formation, the others were two people in charge of one person, and the extra ones were handed over to Shi Yu and them to solve.
"Click~"
In the silence of the mountain forest, the sound of dead trees being trampled off was particularly harsh, and it immediately attracted the attention of others.
A few people who were sneaking around not far away were obviously taken aback, and when they looked back, they found that more than a dozen people suddenly came out of nowhere, and they looked at the direction of their bodies.
As for the initiator of all this, Ishiyama pointed to the branch under his feet very embarrassed:
"Divine Messenger~"
Song Xuan saw that the people in front of him had also discovered his group, so he immediately made a decision and shouted to Shi Yu behind him:
"Do it!!"
"Whoosh~Whoosh~"
Several times the arrows passed through the forest, and the others immediately pounced.
Looking at the Teng Snake people who rushed over directly without saying a word, Wu Niu was also stunned, and then wanted to run away, but as soon as he raised his leg, an arrow went straight into his back, and the huge force made him can't help but stumble forward a few times.
Although the distance between the two sides is not far, it is also twenty or thirty meters, and it is not so convenient to chase it in the jungle, it seems that there are archers, and the other people are also fluctuating, even Shi Yu can't seize the opportunity in the dense forest, and there are Song Xuan and his party behind, Shi Yu is also afraid of accidentally hurting others, so he can only put away his bow and arrows, and take two archers to participate in the encirclement and interception.
Except for the two who were shot at the beginning, Teng Snake and his party easily caught them, and the others were not slow to react, and fled in all directions like crazy.
Fortunately, everyone had a set goal, and although the personnel were scattered all at once, they all pursued the enemy they were assigned to.
"Fire, go back and call someone!!"
Although the incident happened suddenly, Song Xuan was also worried that there were other people in the forest, and the disturbance just now should not be enough to attract the attention of Teng Snake and the others, so it would be safer for people to go back and inform Shi Meng of them.
At first, Song Xuan was still a little uncertain, but when he saw that these people wanted to run away as soon as they saw people, they looked like they were thieves, and it seemed that they were probably from the Wuyu tribe, but now they were obviously not ordinary people who could be sent out, and with a certain amount of preparation, it was really not so simple to catch up in a short period of time, and they were only caught by three people until now, and the person who was not shot by the arrow also accidentally stepped on a small trap left by Teng Snake before, and it can only be said that he was too unlucky.
But things have developed to the point where they have reached the point, and there is no better way, Song Xuan can only lead people to continue chasing, just when the two groups of people are frantically fleeing and chasing in the forest, Cao Miao and Niu He finally came to the confluence of the river with people, and no other situation happened along the way, Xiong Guo and they are also very honest.
Although he knew the location of the Teng Snake, Cao Miao came in person for the first time, and just entered the small river, raised his hand to look at it, and at the same time said to the two Xiong Guo beside him:
"Further up is the Teng Snake Tribe, you should be able to arrive today, and then you will know that we are right......"
Hearing Cao Miao's words, the two people who didn't have much expression along the way couldn't help but look up, what is going on, today is finally going to have a result.
