There are many broken branches around, covering the branches and leaves above the sky scattered on the ground, revealing a gap, and the sunlight in the sky can directly shine on the ground. △,

Under the high temperature and the scorch of the sun, the smell of carrion scattered, attracting many scavengers. However, I don’t know if there was a huge ferocious beast here that was angry not long ago. Apart from the group of gray-feather scavengers and some flying insects, no larger animals were seen.

After checking around, the team set off again after finding the desired trace.

Since we have found the traces of the slaves sent by Yanling City and then searched for them according to the traces, it is much easier. After all, there are many slaves.

It is said that Yanling City sent out 500 people this time, which is not much compared to the entire tribe or the entire Yanling City. However, he sent 500 people from the desert to come and enter this ferocious beast forest. In comparison, even if it is a big deal, Shao Xuan and the others are only fifty or sixty people.

After finding the traces of the slave, the others no longer doubted the words of the Yanjiao people. Fortunately, they chose to follow Yanjiao, otherwise they would not be able to find a team of five hundred people in the huge ferocious beast forest. They may not be able to find them for a hundred days. Many traces cannot be maintained for too long. The self-repair speed of the mountains and forests here is much faster than what people think, that is, the corpses they saw that were almost eaten will not be left behind tomorrow.

Because the team entered the forest much later than the group of slaves, most of the traces left by the slaves have been covered up by the self-repair of the forest, so at the beginning, we cannot know where the group of slaves are going.

Thinking of this, several tribes felt that the "sincerity" they paid to Yanjiao was quite cost-effective.

It is much harder to find a satisfactory resting place beyond the familiar range of Yanjiao. There are more crises hidden in the mountains and forests, and it is more hidden, making people unable to defend against it.

Following the traces left by the slave team, after four days, the team had 63 people missing, and now there were five people missing. They died for various reasons in the middle.

This morning, there was a man from the Changzhou tribe who was poisoned by a poisonous snake. He didn't even have time to rescue him. The other party was bitten on his neck. Before anyone could check his injuries, his entire neck quickly turned black, as if he had been stained with ink, and it was festering. The person who was bitten was dead soon. He was an intermediate totem warrior, and his body had a good resistance to toxicity. However, he couldn't hold on for long, and in the end he couldn't even say a word.

The poisonous snake that bites people is ambushed on the tree, silently like a dead thing climbing onto a tree, as if it is integrated with the tree. It is only when people pass by that, they suddenly launch an attack.

In the past, people from the Changzhou tribe only believed that large snakes were generally non-toxic. Unless they were ferocious beasts, there were many large poisonous snakes here, and they were extremely poisonous. Just like the one that bit their companions before, it was thicker than humans and extremely poisonous. After the head was cut off, they almost bit another person. If it weren't for the Yanjiao people moving faster, the Changzhou tribe who came here this time would probably have lost two times at a time.

"Don't think that if these things are cut off, they will lose their attack power. Be careful, otherwise they will not be able to cry." Shao Xuan said to those people.

Because I have been to similar forests full of dangers, before the Yanjiao tribe moved to the old place, many of the places where the hunting team went were like this. Especially the advance team, the difficulty was no less than here. Therefore, even if Mai and Tuo came here for the first time, they could adapt quickly.

The first time I came here, I was not familiar with the terrain and could not find a cave for people to rest quickly, so I often had to sleep in the open air. When they were looking for a resting place two days ago, they spent the night in an open air on a mountain. Without finding the cave, they rested in a leeward place near the hillside.

The slave team that passed here before should have rested here, leaving traces of activity.

There are some carved paintings on the mountain wall. According to Shao Xuan and others' understanding of stones, many paintings on the mountain wall were not left in a short period of time. Some of them should have been a long time ago. This also proves that a team of slaves had been sent.

The finding of traces of slaves' activities also confirmed Shao Xuan's speculation. People from Yanling City have definitely caught green-faced and fangs!

They would see the corpses of some slaves from time to time along the way, some of which were bitten so hard that they could not see their true form, and some were incomplete. In such a place, people were prey.

At noon, two people from the Weiba tribe went to the river to fetch water, but they were not too close to the river. The day before yesterday, the only person in their tribe was dragged into the river because they were too close, and they didn't even see what was dragging people clearly.

The weather became hotter and they were very physically exhausted when they rushed, and they were sweating all over. Walking in the woods, although the branches and leaves above blocked the large area of ​​sunlight, everyone could feel the higher temperature and the demand for water became stronger and stronger.

A thin thread tied a hard shell that looked similar to a coconut. A half-fist hole was dug in the round shell, and then a stone was tied to the shell, and then the round shell and stone were thrown to the river surface twenty meters away.

With a gurgle, the stone tied to the round shell was pulled down, and the river water poured into the round shell from the dug opening. After feeling that it was almost done, the two soldiers from Wei Ba suddenly pulled the silk in their hands, trying to pull the round shell that had been filled with water back.

The round shell filled with water just exposed to the water surface and when it was pulled into the air, a figure nearly two meters long suddenly jumped out of the river, biting the round shell pulled into the air, and then fell into the water again, splashing the water.

The two soldiers who fetched the water could clearly hear the crackling sound of the round hard shells that filled the water.

However, they had seen this similar situation several times. After a slight surprise, they calmly took out the same round hard shell again and threw it into the river. This time they were not bitten and successfully fetched the water.

"Next time, you can change the firmer silk and fish." Shao Xuan looked at the still turbulent river surface and said. The jumping figure just now looked like a lizard without feet, and it should be a kind of fish in the river.

The warrior from Mieba thought about it and said that if it was a strong silk thread, if it was bitten when it was fetching water, it could drag out the things in the water, and maybe the food at night would be solved. If he couldn't drag it alone, he would ask Yanjiao's people to help, Yanjiao has great strength.

The Weiba tribes are rich in spider silk, and the spider silk produced by different types of spiders is also different. After treatment, some of the silks are soft enough to weave clothes, while some are stronger and harder, which is suitable for weaving webs and placing traps to catch prey, etc.

For the young people in the team, this was a rare experience, and the feeling was far better than that in the desert.

Not only do they have to follow the traces of slaves, but they also have to solve problems such as food and water. Sometimes they have to compete with bears for caves. The ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests at night are much safer.

When they were looking for a place to spend the night, they encountered a situation of grabbing the cave, but they failed to win that time. The giant bear was too smart and didn't come out at all. No matter how they teased them, they just kept the place in the cave.

If the giant bear is led out of the hole, everyone can still deal with it by relying on the advantage of the number of people, and may even turn it into dinner, but it will be difficult to deal with the bear if it doesn't come out. The people outside cannot rush in. The bear in the hole makes full use of the location to defend, and the people in the team take turns to pull it out.

Qu Ce and his men were roared by the giant bear. It is estimated that the giant bear had eaten fish, and the saliva star that roared out had a strong fishy smell. Now Qu Ce is still walking with a fishy smell.

However, I don’t know if it was the influence of the giant bear’s spit. The people in the team were attacked by ambush beasts several times, but no one attacked Qu Ce. This was another kind of luck for him.

Another half day passed, and when the team was climbing over a mountain, they stopped halfway up the mountain, intending to rest.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Shao Xuan standing on a stone and looking into the distance, Duokang and others came over and asked.

Shao Xuan pointed to the front, "Did you find any difference?"

"different?"

Duokang and others looked at that direction, "There are many mountains."

"Not only that, the leaves in that place are very different." Shao Xuan sighed with some slight sympathy.

"When you say this, I also think that the leaves there look... tender and tender." Duokang touched his chin, reached out to pick the leaves from a shrub next to him, and looked at it.

Perhaps because the weather is too hot and there is no rain, many of the plants here seem a little wilted, and the leaves on the branches slightly far from the main trunk appear to be very unspirited.

However, looking at that direction, although it is impossible to see what kind of plants are growing on the mountain there due to distance, the green on the side is indeed very eye-catching. Even the already slanted sunlight cannot make them dull, especially in such a hot climate, the green on the side gives people the feeling, it looks as if it is tender and fresh so that it can be pinched out of water with a little pinch, which is very refreshing.

"Oh, look, there is smoke over there!" Mai said.

Mai's voice also brought the rest of the team to come and look forward.

Among the mountains, some gray smoke rose from the green view over there. However, due to the wind, it was blown away as soon as it rose a little.

"It's those slaves! It must be them!"

"Finally caught up!" The people in the team were shocked.

Shao Xuan looked at the mountain over there and said, "Maybe, what they are looking for is in the forest in front."

The team was quiet, and more than fifty pairs of eyes looked at Shao Xuan together.

"Elder Shao Xuan means, here is it?" Chun Ye Wen said.

After seeing this, they have seen a lot of them, and their attitude towards Yanjiao people has also changed significantly, especially Shao Xuan, Zong Ye and others who play a decision-making role, will also bring the word "elder" when speaking, which is also a recognition.

However, Shao Xuan didn't care about these things, and he didn't care whether others recognized them or not.

At this moment, Shao Xuan looked at the forest ahead, thinking about the information of the green face and fangs in his heart.

There are many mountains in front and there should be plenty of water, which gives people a sense of tranquility and serenity at first sight. It is also a special area in the forest of ferocious beasts. It is really possible that the green face and fangs are there. (To be continued.)
