Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Set off again, the team has grown. In addition to the people from the Pu tribe, there were also expeditions from other tribes.

After the team expanded, it became more lively, and Shao Xuan could also hear a lot of gossip news from other tribes, and he would also ask people about some things when he was resting.

After a few days, Shao Xuan learned a lot of new information.

Shao Xuan has a map in his hand. He drew it himself. The map left by his ancestors is no longer usable. In the past thousand years, the mountains and plains have become plains, and the plains have become mountains and rivers. Changes, Shao Xuan needs to draw an up-to-date map to bring back, lest the tribe find it difficult to cross the river.

At this moment, an experienced far-traveler was talking to Shao Xuan, recounting what he had seen and heard back then.

"At the beginning, we didn't take this route, but took another route. Later, a war between tribes broke out there. It hasn't subsided yet, so we temporarily changed this route. The river of that route is better than this one. The sides are much wider, and there are two colors! There is a tribe next to the river, they are very good at making rafts, and the rafts over there are the biggest and strongest I have ever seen! If only we could have such rafts. Yes." The man recalled, with envy in his eyes.

Seeing the doubts on Shao Xuan's face, the man also gestured with Shao Xuan, and explained in detail what he called "the biggest and strongest raft".

After listening to the other party's description, Shao Xuan paused and said, "Is that a ship?"

"That's right, they call a boat over there."

The man continued to recall and said some past experiences, but a few years later, many of his memories were a little vague.

Shao Xuan wrote these down, if he had time. He wanted to go there and have a look. When the time comes, the tribe's people will need boats to cross the river. in the absence of metal. How to make a big ship, Shao Xuan really wasn't sure. It's best to learn some techniques from there.

"I remember there were a lot of tourists there." Another traveler, unwilling to be lonely, came over to chat.

"It seems to be, but it's just to help Kangshu to chop wood. Hey, I heard that the slave owner has also been there and took many slaves." The person before said.

In order to increase the number of slaves under his command, slave owners always go to some places to find people, those tourists who lost the fire and lost their tribes. It is the favorite target of slave owners. However, they will not go to find someone immediately after those tribes are destroyed, but wait for a year or two to let the tourists see the situation clearly. , When almost desperate, go past. At that time, some tourists who have suffered a lot will not only avoid the slave owners. Instead, it will actively post it.

Just like cruel.

In order to get more slaves, the slave owner would walk around, and Shi Shu, who Shao Xuan had encountered before, did the same. When Shao Xuan listened to the two of them. Learned some places Shi Shu had been to before.

Shao Xuan secretly kept those places in his heart. He suspected that Shi Shu had seen people like Yan Shuo, or the totem patterns of the Yanjiao tribe. He wondered if it was possible that he saw them when he was looking for slaves. of.

In any case, Shao Xuan intends to look around when he passes through those places. After all, according to what Yan Shuo's ancestors handed down, there should be many wandering people scattered all over the years. If generation after generation lived, there would be a lot of people.

The Yanjiao tribe on the other side of the river has a small population. If you want to expand, the first thing to do is to recall the scattered Flaming Horn tribesmen.

"In addition to those places. There are also many tourists on the grassland we are going to pass behind, and slave owners often pass by." A traveler said.

Shao Xuan looked at the area that was not fully drawn on the map. There was the grassland, and the expedition team would not go deep, but just pass through the border area of ​​the grassland. There are many tribes on the grassland, and the people there are also very sturdy, and the team that travels far does not generally go deep.

Just as he was talking, Zhan suddenly said, "Look ahead!"

Shao Xuan looked away from the map and looked at the water ahead.

On the water ahead, floated a number of people, each with fatal wounds.

"Is there a war ahead?" someone asked.

"It doesn't look small."

The people around were discussing, and the leaders of several expedition teams also gathered to discuss, and finally decided to stop by the shore for a while.

"Let's take a rest first, and send some people to investigate ahead. If there are tribes fighting, let's avoid it first, or wait for a while and set off when the end is over," said one person in front.

The people on the side of the raft rowed the oars, and after the raft landed, Shao Xuan and the people around him spontaneously tied the raft to a tree or a big rock on the shore, and took their own wrapped animal skin bags with them. No one put it on the raft, because it is uncertain when they will have to abandon the raft to escape. After all, this is not their own tribe, especially in places where wars occur, it is extremely dangerous and it is easy to bring disaster to pond fish.

The leaders each sent a dozen or so people to inquire about the situation ahead.

"Shao Xuan, let's go and see if there are any beasts around here, hunt one to eat." Zha said.

When resting, people in the party can hunt nearby, as long as they don't run too far. After running far away, if the team leaves without seeing anyone, they will not wait.

"Okay." Shao Xuan said to the people next to him. If the team starts from this side, let them say hello.

After leaving the tribe, Shao Xuan ate less of the beasts. He usually hunted wild beasts, and where there were beasts, these people didn't go.

Some miss the beast meat.

Chacha doesn't know where to hunt for food. Those people have high requirements for food, and ordinary beasts don't like it. However, Chacha has never lost the team. Even if he leaves temporarily, he can catch up with the team quickly. Shao Xuan is not worried about it. .

"Look, there's a deer over there!" Zha pointed in one direction and said excitedly. Then he quickly took out his blowpipe, put the stinger into it, and approached it carefully.

He has to hurry up, or let the others in the long-distance team take the lead, and he will not have to eat.

Zha quietly approached over there, and Shao Xuan followed. However, Shao Xuan always felt that something was wrong around him, not necessarily a crisis, but it seemed that something had happened, and he was a little more cautious when sneaking.

At about the same distance from the deer. Tsaw put the blowpipe's quiver's mouth toward that side, and put the other end into his mouth. When he was blowing, Zha's cheeks were still bulging.

Whoosh!

The arrow needle exits very quickly. And the arrow that was blown out also accurately hit the deer.

The poison of the arrow needle is not lethally poisonous. It is a very powerful paralyzing poison. The deer that is shot, the needle pierces the skin of the deer, and the poison spreads.

After the deer felt attacked, it wanted to run away quickly, but after just two steps, it stumbled a little, and after a few steps. fell to the ground.

"Hey! It's done!"

Zha was so excited that he was going to pack up his prey, but was held back by Shao Xuan.

"What's wrong?" Zha looked at Shao Xuan suspiciously.

Shao Xuan didn't answer, but raised his chin in one direction.

Zha looked over.

In the woods not far from the deer, some birds flew up. Probably because of the movement of the deer running and falling just now, they were alarmed.

"What happened to those birds?" Zha still didn't quite understand, thought for a while, then said helplessly, "Don't you want to eat those birds? Although those birds are not too small, they are not easy to catch. Deer. What do we eat those birds for?"

Shao Xuan looked at Zha in silence for a few seconds and said, "Those are scavengers."

"Scavengers?"

"Those who eat corpses." Shao Xuan pointed to the other side, "There are still quite a few."

Just because of the movement of the deer. Some birds were startled, but Shao Xuan believed that it was only a small part, and there were many that didn't fly at all. And the bird that just jumped up in shock quickly flew down.

Why should they stay on the ground if there is no food to attract them?

Zha's expression froze, and he put the blowpipe away. I can't take care of the deer anymore. Compared to Xiaoming, I can put food away first.

because of the wind direction. When they came, there was no strange smell. In addition, there are many flowers blooming near the river bank, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing. Interfering with the sense of smell, this was not noticed at the first time.

"Go and see?" Zha said.

Before Shao Xuan could answer, Zha had already taken out the stone knife on his body and headed over there.

Shao Xuan looked around and didn't notice anyone else around, so he also raised his heels.

It was getting closer and closer. Due to the dense bushes, I could not see the situation there. However, as it got closer, Shao Xuan could already smell the bad smell.

In addition, there are also the movements of those carrion birds pecking, probably grabbing too much food, and they will fight with each other.

Carefully pulling away the branches blocking the front, Shao Xuan saw the source of the smell.

Dead people, many dead people, there are more here than the ones floating on the river, and because there is no river flushing, there is a layer of red blood on the ground.

Their clothes are similar to those on the river, they should be from the same tribe, and in such a situation, they were obviously slaughtered.

"these people……"

Zha was about to say something, but suddenly found that there was another arm moving in the crowd.

"There are still people alive?!"

Hearing the voice of Zha, the person who was pressed down struggled and pushed the person above away, revealing a blood-stained face. There was only one wound on his body, but it was almost fatal. injury.

The birds that were pecking on the ground originally screamed and flew up because they sensed the presence of a living person, but some were gluttonous and remained on the ground.

"Save...Save me!" The man ignored the pecks of the birds around him, and crawled towards Zha and Shao Xuan.

Zha frowned and took a step back. He didn't know these people, and he didn't want to get involved in the struggle between the tribes. He was just a traveler, not looking for trouble.

"Let's leave..." Before Zha finished speaking, he heard a swooshing sound.

puff!

The man who was crawling towards Zha was pierced by a spear and was nailed there.

Shao Xuan raised his eyes and looked in one direction. There, on a tree, stood a man.

A man in a mask. (To be continued)
