Huoshu opened his eyes when he heard the footsteps, looked at his ugly father and eldest brother, and sighed in his heart, knowing that something had happened. Before he could ask, the collector told him about the gathering team, and told him to join the rest of the clan at once, and prepare to set off overnight.

Involving the lives of his family, Huoshu rushed out of the house in a hurry, and before he could run far, he heard his father's shout: "There are other clansmen who are looking for people, you must find out what happened." ”

Huoshu answered and rushed out of the courtyard, although he was dissatisfied with his father's orders, but he also knew that if he did not understand the cause of the incident, he was afraid that more people would suffer.

There were already many people standing in the square in the settlement, all quietly waiting for the elder's lecture. The fire tree did not enter the queue, but ran behind the tooth wall and whispered a few words, and then ran directly out of the settlement.

After stepping onto the black bear, he hurriedly ran in the direction of the hill. The black bear can be said to be extremely reluctant, and it hasn't been long since he ran wildly, so why did he come again?

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

The man with a similar aura to the fire tree is none other than the second brother of the fire tree. A resolute man, a man with a thick and thin heart, now this man has no way to stand up again, he can only endure the pain and gasp for breath, looking at his beloved wife, thinking about the child he can't meet. Tuo Li looked at the two clouds of mist again, and then asked his wife Hua Ye and sister-in-law Zizhu to bow to the mist, and then said sincerely: "Ancestors, forgive me for not being able to salute, since you led us here, you must be able to bless us." ”

It's more like talking to himself, not waiting for the fog to answer at all. After all, the fog in front of him was too similar to those ancestors who appeared during the sacrificial season, so he believed that the exploding fire was the guidance of the ancestors. But what he didn't expect was that a sound slowly floated out of the mist, which was extremely calm.

"Tsuru, since I have bowed to you, I will shelter you, there is a cave in the stone wall behind you, and there is food in it. Ding Cong didn't say anything else, but after finishing speaking, a small ball of light flew out of the fog again, and it burrowed into his chest like lightning.

Hearing the voice, he didn't react to what was going on, and he felt that the pain and exhaustion in his body disappeared together, and his whole body was instantly full of strength. After feeling the change in his body, he suddenly jumped to his feet, and his eyes were full of fear as he looked at the mist.

Hua Ye and Zizhu were already frightened when the voice sounded, and then they were even more surprised when they saw Tuo Li jumping up like no one else, and their eyes looking at the mist were also full of fear.

The three of them looked at the mist nervously, and after waiting for a long time no sound came out again, the stone in their hearts was slightly lowered. According to legend, the benefits of the ancestors were not accepted casually, and sometimes even cost them with their lives.

He asked a few more tentative questions, and found that the fog still did not change, and his heart was gloomy, but he remembered that since he had accepted the benefits of his ancestors, it should be okay in the short term, and he was alone alone, so it was a big deal to stay.

So he walked towards the black stone wall behind him, and vaguely saw a deeper black shadow appear on the stone wall. When I came up, I saw that there was really a cave, and I didn't know how this cave was formed, the walls of the cave were very smooth, and even the basic roughness of the rock was not there. He went into the depths of the cave again, and found that there was really food inside, and it was not ordinary things, it was all neatly hung jerky.

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

The black bear ran in the hills and forests, constantly crossing the ravines, and its heavy breathing accompanied by the shaking of the earth gradually drifted away in the forest. Instead of controlling the black bear to deliberately look for a certain place, the fire tree straddled the bear's back and closed its eyes to recuperate, allowing it to run around.

The time of the night slowly faded away in the constant running.

Suddenly, the black bear stopped, gasping and letting out a low roar. At this time, Huoshu opened his eyes and found a group of Jiuli people wearing linen shirts and holding long-pole stone spears in front of him, with sharp spear tips facing the black bear, and his mouth kept shouting in intimidation.

Huoshu glanced at the crowd not far away, and found that everyone was wearing armbands on their arms, and the people standing in the back row were slowly putting away their stone spears and removing the bows and arrows behind their backs. Among the more than 20 people, only one person has a beast face pattern hollow stone Huang hanging on his waist, and the one in his hand is not a stone spear, but Shi Yue, although it is only the size of a fist, but this person's identity should not be low in the Jiuli clan.

Against the sharp spear arrows, the fire tree still sat firmly on the bear's back, as if it had only a flock of horned sheep to be slaughtered in front of it.

At this time, Huoshu asked loudly at the person who took Shi Yue, "Jiuli Clan, what are you doing here?"

Seeing the person on the back of the black bear asking, the person holding Shi Yue first waved his hand to calm down the people around him, then took two steps forward and said: "My name is Youmiao Spear Dagger, this is our Jiuli place, where is your turn to ask." Boy, don't think we're going to be afraid of you for the sake of the beasts, what are you doing here?"

Huoshu was stunned after hearing this, looked down at the black bear, shook his head helplessly, and scolded in his heart, "Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei, you are too good at running, let you run in the forest for clues, why did you run into Jiuli's territory overnight." ”

Seeing that the fire tree did not answer, the spear dagger waved his hand again, allowing the clansmen to prepare to attack, and at the same time secretly gestured behind his back. One of the clansmen standing in the back row saw this and began to quietly retreat, hiding himself in the shadow of the tree. Just as the man was about to turn and run, a fist-sized fireball passed through his body with a soft snapping sound, followed by a pop, and the ashes of a human figure scattered.

Huoshu didn't seem to care about what had just happened, just thinking about how to ask for a while.

The spear and dagger could see clearly, and the fire tree just waved his hand casually on the bear's back, and a fireball flew out. Then the terrifying screams of the clansmen sounded behind him, and he didn't need to look to know that the person who had just been about to go back to report the news must have been killed.

The spear and dagger are famous warriors in the clan, and they have participated in many battles and battles, so they can hold Shi Yue at the age of twenty-two. But for some reason, after seeing the younger bear rider today, Speardagger's heart began to be restless, as if he knew that today would be the end of his life. The moment the fireball was swung, the spear dagger understood that he would not even have a chance to run.

Although he didn't see how the clansman died, the clansmen who followed him were all battle-hardened and would not be easily frightened, and the fear revealed in the team now made him know more clearly how terrifying the bear rider in front of him was.

"What are you going to do?" Although I am afraid, I still have to ask clearly, although the chance is slim, but I still have to try it. The spear and dagger are desperately ready, but the clansmen can run one by one. Just as he was asking, the left hand behind his back made another gesture to disperse and break through.

I have to say that the Jiuli tribe has rich experience in warfare, and the clansmen did not hesitate at all after seeing this gesture, and suddenly threw the spear in their hand at the fire tree, and the arrow shot at the head of the black bear. Then the crowd turned and ran, not paying attention to whether or not they had hurt the fire tree.

The spear and dagger rushed towards the black bear with the stone cross, reaching the black bear faster than all the weapons. The high-held stone slashed down like lightning, the cold light of the blade in the wind flickered, and the strength of the spear and dagger was used in this blow, and there was a momentum that was gone.

Then I heard the sound of "poof" constantly sounding, the spear and dagger did not feel like hitting something, the stone in his hand turned into a cloud of ashes the moment he approached the bear's head, all the flying spears and arrows turned into ashes, and those who turned and ran turned into ashes, and the ashes in the sky were like the heavy snow in early spring.

The black bear looked up at the gray powder floating around him, sneezed in disgust, and then took two steps forward, slapping a bear paw on the spear dagger's chest.

Speardagger was lucky that he didn't see his people turn to ashes. The spear and dagger were unfortunate, and he experienced first-hand what it felt like for a bear's paw to shatter his sternum.

A mouthful of blood from the spear dagger had just spurted out, and before his body could hit the ground, he was jumped up and hugged by the fire tree. Huoshu looked back at the black bear in annoyance, and then looked at the spear dagger with more qi and less qi, sighed, and a cloud of ash fell in front of him.

Huo Shu looked at the ground surrounded by a layer of ashes, and only then did he deeply understand that the master's words back then were enough for a fire technique.

If you go further, you may encounter more Jiuli people, but it is really tiring to use the fiery technique, especially if you perform it indiscriminately like just now. So instead of moving on, the fire tree mounted the black bear and told him to walk back, but at a slow pace.

In this way, he slowly turned around in the hills and forests, and occasionally encountered the Jiuli tribe collection team, which was a small team of more than a dozen people, and the fire tree had no intention of contacting them, just watched silently from a distance, and waited for them to leave before going to see the place where they collected. It was only when I found out that it was some daily collection, and the fire tree quietly left.

In this way, I wandered around the hills for a month, and I encountered a lot of Jiuli people, but only the group of people who came into direct contact with the spear dagger, and I did not encounter this combination of the collection team and the guard. Of course, Huoshu didn't find any clues, during a separate tracking, he learned from the chatting between two people named Jiuli that the collection a few months ago was actually led by the elders of the clan himself, as for what was collected, the people of the Jiuli tribe are also speculating, and such a collection activity has actually started for four years.

At this point, the fire tree finally determined the cause of the incident, but unfortunately it was not clear what they were gathering, or what they were looking for. There was no point in continuing, and the fire tree rode back to the settlement on the black bear. On the way, when passing by the thorn forest, the fire tree suddenly felt something, so he went into the forest to find the master.

How do you know that I saw the second brother and the two sisters-in-law in the forest, but unfortunately the second brother was about to come to the end of his life at this time, so he just smiled happily at the fire tree and passed away.
