Chapter 208 When stealing the tower
...
The Gonghuo tribe is directly south of the Ji tribe, and the river in the valley flows to the southwest. After turning a big arc in the downstream, it will flow south into the southeast into the river flowing southeast.
The normal road to the Gonghuo Clan should be to go down the river, pass through the Cang clan, and then pass through the Cha clan, and finally reach the area where the Gonghuo Clan lives. This journey takes about four days, and it is five days away from the Wu clan.
According to the average walking speed of four kilometers, the distance along the river from the Ji tribe to the Gonghu tribe is about 120 kilometers, and the shortcuts are about 40 kilometers. If the road conditions are good, you should be able to get there for one day. However, in fact, the shortcuts require crossing mountains and ridges, which is much harder to walk along the gentle river beach. Otherwise, the Ji tribe men would not say that it takes four days. In fact, the time spent on two roads far and near is about the same.
But Xu Chen thought he could still take the risk and try it.
Being prepared is definitely different from not being prepared. Besides, it is winter now, and the mountains and forests are much easier to walk around than spring and summer, and there are no insects and snakes. At most, beware of wild beasts. A huge team of sixty people can face almost all wild beasts, and tigers and other things will never come back.
Therefore, there should be no problem with the safety of the road. The biggest question is whether the guy Ji Clan can accurately find the road he had, and how steep are the two difficult-to-pass steep slopes he mentioned?
It was just dawn, and the two groups broke up on the valley beach where the Ji people lived.
Long led more than 50 Wu volunteers down the river and went to meet with the Cang tribe under the leadership of Ji tribe hunters.
Xu Chen, along with Feng and other groups of 60-person trained hunters, carried dry food and more than ten ropes, walked towards the forest not far away.
This shortcut requires crossing five mountains and three canyons.
According to Xu Chen's plan, it is best to reach the Gonghuo Clan in two days. If the road conditions are too poor or the right path cannot be found, then retreat to the second plan and implement the second plan. Go and kill the old nest of the Cha tribe in the middle, then return to fight with the Cang tribe to attack the enemy from front to back, not seeking complete annihilation, but only seeking to defeat them. They will be like what they can. In trying to reduce casualties, attack the opponent with as many bows and arrows as possible.
Even if most of the people in the Gonghuo Clan can escape back, they will definitely be extremely frightened and will not dare to invade the Cang Clan again for many years.
Both action plans have a chance to succeed, but the first victory will be more thorough and can solve the problem once and for all.
As long as the Gonghuo tribe is settled and some of the small and medium-sized tribes that depend on them will either surrender or escape, the living space of the six-parent alliance will suddenly be much larger, and the population and strength will increase nearly twice.
A group of people stopped, did not blow the trumpet and raised the flag, crossed the mountains and ridges and went south. Soon half a day passed, and Xu Chen and others also crossed the two mountains and entered a valley.
Here, they encountered the first difficulty, which was the steep slope area mentioned by the guided man.
The forest is very steep, and many places are covered with bare rocks and there is no vine, so there is no place to borrow strength. But fortunately, there is enough rope to allow some people who are flexible and good at climbing to climb up first, and then find a place to tie the ropes and put them down. The people behind can simply use the force to climb up.
Therefore, it took less than two hours to pass this seemingly insurmountable canyon, and a group of people passed by smoothly and climbed the third mountain.
Following the ridge of this mountain, they continued southward. Before the sun set, they successfully crossed the third mountain and entered the second steep valley.
This valley is relatively large. Although it is winter, the streams inside are still surging and roaring. The clear streams are rushing between the huge rocks covered with deep streams, making a thunderous sound, constantly evaporating white mist, filling the entire valley, and half of the mountain is covered with water vapor.
Various green plants in this canyon are lush, which is more humid and warmer than the Ba Wild Wolf Valley. A large number of water-dripping Guanyin-like plants are four or five meters high. The wide leaves cover the sky and the sun. Walking during this time, Xu Chen had the illusion of traveling to a prehistoric tropical rainforest for the first time, for fear that a dinosaur would suddenly rush out from it.
"And~~"
Just as Xu Chen was observing the surroundings and sighing about the magical environment, a deafening and terrifying sound suddenly came from the depths of the valley.
"Longga!"
Someone in the team screamed in horror.
In an instant, the entire team became in chaos.
The shadow of the famous tree, the dragon is almost the most ferocious beast of this era, no doubt about it.
Compared with dragons, tigers, leopards, bears and wrinkles are simply docile and good babies.
It is said that animals such as dragons have low IQ, but they are extremely lethal, extremely cruel, and have super strong territorial consciousness. Once they live in a certain place, they will regard dozens of miles as their territory. Their sharp claws have the ability to crack tigers and leopards. The most terrifying thing is their fangs, which are extremely sharp and have extremely amazing biting power. They can bite people into two pieces in one bite, and large beasts like bison can easily tear them to pieces.
These are all things Xu Chen knew before.
However, there are few wild beasts like dragons, usually only one in one place. They seem to have no habit of living in groups, and their mating and reproduction are also mysterious. No one dares to understand and inquire. Many of the news about dragons are actually rumors of ancestors.
In addition, dragon beasts usually live near swamps or deep ravines, and are difficult to see on weekdays. The dragon entrenched in the swamp area of the river beach outside the mouth of the Wu tribe's valley has always been a heart disease of the Wu tribe. Last year, it finally killed it at a huge cost.
But now, I actually encountered another end in this canyon in the wilderness.
The Wu people are relatively familiar with this thing, but Xu Chen is relatively unfamiliar with people from other tribes.
"Moxie Gaga?"
Feng's nervous face turned pale and he was anxiously asking for Xu Chen's opinion.
Xu Chen was also very panicked, but he knew that he could not show any panic, so he pretended to be calm and squeezed out a smile and said:
"Not afraid, there are so many of us, not only bows and arrows, but also horns. If we come, we just happened to kill and eat meat. Yesterday, a Mao Gong was not full, so we would be satisfied with eating another dragon!"
"Soga!"
Xu Chen's words immediately calmed down the panicked hunters.
Many people even began to swear their mouths and saliva with their eyes shining brightly.
I was so tired last night that I almost lost my energy. After a full meal of tiger meat at night, I was full of energy today.
Now it is just the time to eat a lot of flesh and blood, and it is right to eat one-stop.
Dragon meat is much tenderer than tiger meat. Although this thing is cruel and domineering, because of the abundant flow of water all year round, the flesh and blood are far less fishy than tigers and leopards.
"Let's go, kill Longga!" Feng raised his bow and arrow and roared.
"Gaga, dragon meat!"
The remaining group of hunters all raised their weapons and howled in a hustle and bustle, instantly throwing their fear of the dragon out of the sky.
Xu Chen's face turned black.
A group of dogs and a few people are now stealing the tower, so you must not cause any trouble.
What's more, catching a wild beast that is more ferocious than a tiger in such a complex place is not just about causing trouble, but is almost the same as seeking suspicion.
Although the sun had not yet set, the valley was covered with tall broad-leaved plants, deep rocks and rushing streams, and the tumbling thick fog, the visual distance around was less than twenty meters.
In such a harsh situation, the formation of hunting cannot be expanded at all, and once it is attacked, the losses will definitely be heavy.
He absolutely did not expect that he would just talk big and give these cowards courage, but he didn't expect that he would be too strong and didn't know how much he weighed and wanted to go to Rilong together.
Thinking about the miserable appearance of the Wu tribe's people hunting that dragon last year, Xu Chen quickly stopped the group of people and persuaded them that it was too late today, and that they would also have to accumulate energy to attack the Gonghuo tribe's nest tomorrow. It would be best to wait until they succeed before coming back to work the dragon.
Xu Chen had been painting for a long time, and finally gave up the decision of a group of savages to collectively run away from the Dragon Dragon. He nodded one by one, saying that he could temporarily let the dragon live for a few more days and then do it when he came back.
"Huh~"
Xu Chen couldn't help but breathe a long sigh and swept a sweat all over his forehead. However, before he could finish his breath, a roar like thunder suddenly came from the depths of the canyon, and the sound of rumbling and rumbling hitting the rocks could be heard. It seemed that something terrifying was rushing out.
"Huga~"
The wind roared, and a group of hunters who had just relaxed became nervous in an instant, and raised their bows and spears again to look nervously at the depths of the valley.
"Boom~Boom~"
The sound of impact was getting closer and closer, and in the blink of an eye it seemed to reach dozens of meters away. You could almost see plants shaking violently in the rolling fog.
“And~~~”
Accompanied by another terrifying sound, a huge green monster flew past the large-leaved plant several meters high. Below the abdomen, a layer of membrane was clearly seen shaking.
Long Huifei, this is the information Xu Chen had known for a long time.
However, this kind of flying is not really possible, but its jumping power is amazing. In addition, its skin is very strange and very smooth. When it jumps up, the skin on the abdomen will show a kind of water-like folds that keep trembling, and it feels like a water wafting, relying on the lift of the air for a short distance.
Xu Chen had studied the dragon skin he brought back before, and he had always had great doubts about Long Huifei.
But after seeing it with his own eyes, he had to believe it.
There are all kinds of wonders in the world, and this thing may be very similar to the way the flying snake glides.
The dragon flew over the heads of a large group of hunters such as Xu Chen, and then thrust into the steep cliff with a bang, and grabbed a large number of stone chips sharply, and then steadily lying on the rock wall.
The dog has sharp horns, fangs, sharp claws, long neck and snake body, long-necked long hair on its tail, and green leopard prints all over it. It looks like a big lizard monster made up of seven or eight kinds of beasts such as hyena, crocodile, eagle and snake.
