Chapter 270: On the Way

Song Xuan has walked for so many days and has not found anything uncomfortable, although this is due to his relatively light weight, but Song Xuan has basically integrated into the life here after so many years of primitive life.

After everyone walked for seven days, they returned to the place where the Teng Snake Tribe was before, but because everyone burned this place when they left, after so many years of washing, only a few traces remained at this time.

Although it is only a few ruins, there is still a place of nostalgia after all, for most of the tribe, the time of living here is much longer, although due to the situation forced to flee, even the tribe has been burned down, but everyone's roots are still here.

So after arriving, everyone simply cleaned up, when they left in a hurry, the altars in the tribe didn't have time to clean up, but the main part was hidden, and now there is finally time to clean up a little.

Since the stabilization, there are also people who propose whether to carry the altar back, but they are all opposed by others, not that everyone does not want to rebuild the altar in the new tribe, but at that time, the altars were built with heavy bluestones, each of which weighs at least one or two hundred catties, and the heaviest one even weighs seven or eight hundred catties, and I don't know how the ancestors of Teng Snake moved it.

It is still very difficult to carry back such a weight, especially if it takes six or seven days to walk empty-handed along the way, coupled with the ruggedness of the mountain road, a little carelessness can even cause serious accidents, so the Teng Snake people have not been able to make up their minds, but fortunately, the altar will not be easily destroyed, and it is only a little buried here.

The most core part is stored in the cave not far away, Shi Yong has already taken someone to see it, naturally there is no problem, after cleaning up the debris on the surface here, it is still completely preserved, and because it is extremely bulky, so everyone is not ready to continue tossing, after all, this is not the main purpose of this trip, and it is not impossible for the tribe to transport them back when they have an appetite in the future.

Compared with the current Teng Snake Tribe, the previous ones were obviously several times smaller, that is, about the same size as the current Niu Tribe, but due to their long history, the altar is very well preserved.

Even Song Xuan found two totem pillars exposed to the ground by the altar, which were carefully carved at a glance, and the images on them were even more vivid than those depicted by Teng Snake now.

Digging down a little, there is still a long part buried under the ground, Song Xuan estimates that it is not even shorter than the truncation of the exposed ground, even if it is dug out at this time, it will not help, it is better to let it be kept like this, and then come over and take a closer look when you have the ability later.

"Alright, let's go!"

This delay was nearly half a day, and seeing that it was only about two hours before the sun set, Song Xuan still stopped everyone's grief, the purpose of this trip was bronze ore, and it was not appropriate to delay here for too long.

Fortunately, everyone is a man with rough feelings, and it quickly became a little sad in the atmosphere to ease, although this area is where the tribe was before, but at this time there is no suitable place to camp, and the place where the original tribe is located is also full of small trees and weeds, but some are not suitable for life.

But after all, having lived here for decades, Shi Yong is still very familiar with the terrain of this area, and knows where there is a cave that can accommodate even people, and this is the first time that the group has slept in the cave since they set off.

According to Teng Snake's current conditions, it is not difficult to give enough protection in terms of food, it is nothing more than to carry more when setting off.

However, living in this area cannot be guaranteed, unless you are particularly familiar with the route and can find a relatively safe and comfortable campsite, most of the time you can only pick a barely suitable place and camp on the spot.

It's good to say that the team is small, and when you're lucky, you can still pick up one or two relatively dry caves, but when there are too many people, you can't take care of them all.

Being able to camp in a cave in the wild still has many benefits, at least the safety will be much better, as long as you keep the entrance to the cave, and if it is not a cave used by large animals, there will be no animals in the general cave to break in, especially the snake everyone will raise a bonfire at the entrance of the cave, which can be very effective in driving away all kinds of beasts.

In this way, the people in charge of guarding only need three or four groups at most, and two people in each group take turns to rest, and after one night, all the people rest, which also has a certain amount of protection, and will not affect the follow-up actions too much.

But in most cases, there are no such good conditions, in order to be safe enough, it is necessary to open the camp around the camp, and it is located in the wild, the slightest carelessness will cause forest fires, so it must be guarded by a special person, so that nearly a third of the people in one night are not well rested.

Fortunately, Teng Snake and the others have adapted to this kind of life, and Song Xuan does not need to be responsible for the vigil, so there is no problem, but if he can get a better rest, this kind of person will naturally not refuse, although the cave is a little off the route, compared with the half-hour journey, a comfortable night of rest is still very worthwhile.

Especially here, it is only five days away from the Black Feather Tribe, and it is important to have a good rest before then.

In order to be able to reduce the burden of the night watchman again, Song Xuan directly intensified it, and asked Shi Yong to lead people to set up many traps around the entrance of the cave, and at the same time, the cave was also covered with rocky branches.

Not surprisingly, the night was uneventful, and when Song Xuan woke up in the morning, the last group of night vigilers were even asleep, but Song Xuan did not reprimand them, but instead took a few animal skins and covered them.

This vigil was entirely for safety reasons, Shi Yong almost patted his chest to ensure that he was safe enough before coming, but after all, the divine envoy was here, and they hadn't been here for many years, so it was not wrong to be careful.

Such a place is also hard to find, but in the next trip, although you can't encounter such a huge cave, there is still a smaller contact, and it is not a problem for twenty or thirty people to live in the cave, and other people camp around the entrance of the cave, and the safety is still much better than directly in the wild.

Most of these caves are left by the Teng Snake tribe and the black feather communication before, because the distance is very far away, and it is mountainous, you can sleep in the cave at night, it is naturally a lot more comfortable, after a long time of exploration, on the route from the Teng snake to the black feather, there are enough six caves for you to rest when you go back and forth, as long as the distance planning is not particularly outrageous, basically you can meet it.

These caves had been abandoned for a few years, but there were only three of them that Song Xuan and his party could use, and if they went any further, they would have to deviate from the route to Wuyu.

In the past few years, Shi Yong and others have become much stranger to this area, and the expansion rate of the forest is far beyond everyone's imagination, as long as no one walks often, it will not be long before the trees can reoccupy these paths.

Fortunately, there are enough people this time, and with the concerted efforts of everyone to correct it, there are no problems with the route, and further back, mainly relying on Wucang and Yangyang.

This way, Wucang has been very honest, and the inquiry about the route will be said in time at the first time, and sometimes Teng Snake is wrong, and he will also correct it in time after finding it, but it also saves a lot of time for everyone, and because the character is not bad, I also know how to please Teng Snake everyone, all the way down, Wucang and everyone get along very well.

Seeing this scene, Song Xuan was faintly worried, Wucang's performance was really good, but although everyone behaved with him, they also kept an eye on Wucang's every move, after all, it was getting closer and closer to the Wuyu tribe here, and according to the hunting habits of the Wuyu tribe, it was even possible to reach this area.

But that was also the previous Black Feather Tribe, at that time the Black Feather Tribe was strong and strong, and there were seven or eight small tribes attached to it, and the previous Teng Snake was one of them, but at this time, the Black Feather Tribe had already declined a lot, and the possibility of coming here to hunt had dropped a lot.

However, you still have to be careful, according to Wucang, Teng Snake and the others should only be a day and a half away from the place where the ore is, so Song Xuan also asked everyone to hurry up and walk more, leaving enough time for tomorrow, and at the same time, tonight is bound to recharge their energy and have a good rest.

"Divine messenger, I'm going to pee!"

Song Xuan nodded in agreement, then glanced at Shi Yu and motioned for him to follow.

Although the guards of Wucang were relaxed a little along the way, it was still impossible to leave the team alone, so once they encountered the matter of going to the toilet, they had to ask for the consent of the leader or Song Xuan before leaving the team accompanied by others.

At the same time, when leaving the team, the black cang will also be tied with a rope, in addition to the hands and feet will have a separate rope, there will be a longer one tied around the waist, this rope will be tied to the hands of the escort.

In this way, it is still very difficult to untie the rope and escape silently, especially now that it is so close to the Wuyu tribe, it is natural to be more careful, so the people sent to guard Wucang are also the leaders of the tribe.

\"Oracle, no problem! \"

It didn't take long for Shi Yu to return to the team with Wucang, and at the same time said that there was nothing abnormal, Song Xuan also felt that he seemed to be a little bit of a soldier, so he smiled slightly, and didn't continue to take it to heart.
