Ding Cong and Li Deren did not see Feng Xi, and I believe that Feng Xi would not want to see two strange fogs.

In this forest, in addition to the bears, the most attractive thing is the big trees, the wide leaves hide green fruits, and I don't know how many fruits have been borne in the woods.

Huoshu found some fruits from the winter store for Feng Xi to use as snacks, and took out a lot of dried meat in an inconspicuous place and stuffed them into her leather bag. Feng Xi was surprised, was the food here too rich, not to mention that the fire tree had taken out so much jerky. When Feng Xi swallowed the brown fruits one by one, he couldn't help but look up at the hidden fruits in the leaves.

The fire tree collects these fruits all year round, and naturally knows the value of them, but Feng Xi is inevitably a little embarrassed when he sees them for the first time, if he can let the clansmen come to collect them, wouldn't it solve a lot of problems.

Just as Feng Xi was about to say something, Huo Shu stopped her mouth in time.

"Don't tell anyone about things here for the time being, there will be opportunities in the future. ”

Feng Xi responded very obediently and softly, although she didn't know the reason, she believed that the fire tree would not lie to her.

The short spring outing ended happily in the company of fruits, dried meat and bear cubs, and the black bear, under the constant urging of the fire tree, ran like a black dragon, and came to the outside of the settlement before it was dark. Two young men and women snuggled up to each other through the gates, through the alleys, and strolled outside the courtyard walls, watching the light of the setting sun shine on the thatched roofs.

Huoshu politely sent Fengxi home before returning to his homeyard. At this time, there was no one in the yard, and the hanging pot in the house was steaming, but the father and eldest brother were not at home. I went out and asked, only to find out that there was suddenly an important matter in the tribe to gather all the people listed in the clan name, and Huoshu knew that something important must have happened, so he would arrange it like this, and he couldn't come in a hurry, and when his father came back, he would know the reason.

The grass seed porridge in the pot was bubbling white, and there were two dried fish and half a piece of dried meat on the grate, which was obviously a sumptuous feast. The fire tree would not be enjoyed alone, so he meditated on the ground on his knees and practiced.

............

Inside a huge semi-crypt house, eight men sat in a frowning place, and nearly a hundred people stood in the dark outside the door. These are all people who are included in the clan name of the bear tribe, although the age is uneven, except for a very few people who belong to the ancestral shade, the others are very famous or have great effects in the clan. And the eight people in the room are the patriarchs of several large families, and they are also the elders of the bear tribe.

"What now? There were more than 300 people who went, and only 20 people came back. The one who spoke was an old man over half a hundred years old, his face wrinkled as if he were about to pile up. The patriarch of the Baishi clan, with a bear's tooth wall, is currently the most senior elder among the eight elders, and is deeply respected by the clan.

Today's meeting is more special, as early as two months ago, a team of 300 people entered the hill forest to start spring harvesting, because of the heavy snow in the early spring of this year, resulting in many plants and fruits are not ripe, the collection team had no choice but to continue to go deep into the hill forest to collect some half-lived wild fruits, while leaving a small number of people in the rear to look for mushrooms. What could have been done in less than twenty days, in the end, Shengsheng was dragged for two months, not to mention, and he actually ran into Jiuli's collection team. Although the collection is mainly based on women and children, I don't know why the Jiuli collection team I encountered this time actually brought a 100-person escort team. There are bear tribes who are defeated and flee back, and they are chased and beaten by the Jiuli tribe on the way, and they are killed and injured heavily, and because of the fog in the forest, the direction is difficult to understand, and many people are lost.

Most of the twenty people who came back by luck now are people who stayed behind to collect mushrooms.

The question of the tooth wall is obviously a bit redundant, how can it not come back if you can come back? But everyone is speculating about the reason. In previous years, there were times when there was heavy snow in early spring, even if you went deep into the hills, you would not go to the end of Jiuli, and it was indeed a little strange that the Jiuli clan actually brought an escort team.

Youxiong Ji frowned and said in a deep voice: "Let's send someone to Qiulin to find the surviving clansmen first, now is not the time to investigate the reason." ”

"Yes, by the way, let them find out the cause of this incident. Xiong Xun said irritably. This time, the Suiming clan and the Feng clan had the most people in the collection team, and it was originally to get closer to the two sides, but it turned out to be such a big thing. There is Xiong Xun, the head of the Feng clan, and this time his two younger sisters also participated in the collection, no wonder he is also so impatient.

Several of the others looked at each other and agreed with the proposal. As a result, several elders began to nominate outstanding members of their own families to participate in this rescue operation. Not surprisingly, Ji chose his third fire tree to participate in the action, after all, his wife, the old family, the second family, and the daughter all went to the collection team, and it was impossible not to be anxious. Moreover, the ability of the fire tree is known to the whole clan promoted by Fengxi, and there is also a bear as a pet, so I am somewhat sure.

"Lao Li, how about we have a guest, do you want to receive it?" Ding Cong's somewhat surprised voice reached Li Deren's ears.

Li Deren was also surprised and asked: "Someone broke in? After so long, a stinky boy from Huoshu, and his future precious daughter-in-law, are actually here again? What is the situation?"

Actually, you don't know the way to get into this forest, otherwise why would no one have come for so long? Of course, the fire tree was lured.

As early as when Ding Cong and his souls appeared in this space, the electromagnetic waves here were abnormal, forming a natural illusion barrier, and later Ding Cong and them gradually improved and perfected, and finally formed a maze on the periphery, unable to see or enter, they could only keep circling there.

Due to the lack of formation support in this formation, the formation is unstable, and it is possible that it will fail.

Ding Cong silently picked up his soul power, and after probing it, he said: "Two women and one man, there are injuries on their bodies, but the men are heavier, and they shouldn't last long." ”

Hearing this, Li Deren said a little impatiently: "It's boring, let those little guys open the meat." After saying that, he was going to cast a spell to make the bear cubs go berserk.

"Wait!" Ding Cong hurriedly shouted, "Don't take people's lives lightly. The aura of these two women fluctuated slightly. ”

"Oh, what do you mean?" asked Li Deren in surprise as he stopped what he was doing.

"Both women should be pregnant, but the fetus breath in the womb is unstable, I'm afraid it's hard to live, alas!" Ding Cong said with some sympathy.

After a while, Li Deren was overjoyed and began to urge Ding Cong to find a way to lure people here. "Do you have a way to control the cubs from leaving, or get out of the way, these little ones are going to have to go out and play. Ding Cong sensed it for a while, and said a little anxiously.

Li Deren didn't say a word, he used all his strength, and released the anger on his body at a distance of about ten meters, and the terrifying aura broke out by the way, and the little guys in the forest were shocked to guess, what happened to this old ancestor, and suddenly lost such a big temper? Then, I didn't know that the bear led the head, and rushed into the thorn forest first, and the swarm of bees followed behind. Fortunately, the passage opened by the fire tree for the black bear was relatively large, but it was inevitable that a wail came out.

"Solved. Li Deren said three words very tiredly, and then he dimmed, and the fog shadow on his body also showed signs of changing.

"Lao Li, don't use so much strength, do you? You rest first, and I'll bring them over." Ding Cong didn't bother the tired Lao Li anymore.

A firefly-sized ball of light slowly flew out of the mist, and then flew towards the three embarrassed people in the forest.

The three of them walked forward mechanically, the man's back was covered with blood and scabs, the leather clothes on his arms and thighs had long been torn into strips, and the shoes on his feet were missing. The other woman was also pale and walked a little slantedly, the leather bag in her hand did not know what it contained, bulging, and a little heavy, although it was very hard to walk, she still kept it in her hand.

Among the three, the man led the way, and the woman behind him supported the woman behind from time to time, and they didn't say a word to each other, so they didn't know how long they had been walking. Suddenly, the man in front of him saw a flickering firefly slam into the trunk of the tree, instantly exploding a fist-sized spark, and then disappearing.

The man looked left and right, let go of the woman's hand, walked to the trunk of the tree that had just exploded the fireball, and then found a faint mark of the arrow cluster.

The man was stunned for a moment, and walked forward in the direction of the arrowhead, and as he imagined, the mark of the arrow appeared again on the trunk of a tree not far away. Although it has been a long time ago, this mark is definitely a relief for those who have lost their way. So he stretched out his hand to beckon the two women to come over, and then reached out to feel the mark on the trunk of the tree, and there was a smile on his face. I bowed to the place where the fireflies had just exploded, and thanked my ancestors for their guidance.

In the man's impression, this should be the mark left by a hunter when he hunted in the forest, but where did he think that this mark was the mark left for the fire tree back then. Coincidentally, there was this mark next to the big tree they appeared, otherwise Ding Cong would have had a lot of trouble to lure them over.

After several twists and turns, the group of three finally saw the end of the mark—two clouds of mist. At this time, Lao Li couldn't raise any strength at all, and Ding Cong was not in a hurry to speak, just looked at the three people in front of him.

The man looked at the mist in front of him in disappointment, although he knew that it was his ancestors, before he had time to worship, he sat on the ground with no physical strength, and kept gasping for breath, and the woman he had been holding hands sat beside him, and tears kept falling like pearls with broken threads. The other woman did the same, but there was no disappointment on her face.

The man looked at the two clouds of mist, gasped for a while, and then said, "Since the ancestors led us over, they must not embarrass us. I can't walk anymore, so you can go on. ”

When the woman sitting next to him heard this, her tears fell even more, and she reached out and grabbed the man's hand, holding it desperately.

The other woman just clutched her pouch tightly and pursed her lips before she spoke, "Okay, I can't go out and come back to you." "It's ruthless, but it's decisive.

The man was not unhappy after hearing this, but said lightly: "I hope you can all go out, if you can live, try to survive as much as possible, and keep the flesh and blood of our Suiming clan." ”

Hearing this, Ding Cong also understood, no wonder from the beginning he felt that the breath on the man's body was somewhat similar to the fire tree, and then sighed secretly, but unfortunately the oil had run out and the lamp had dried up.
