Chapter 175: The Masked Man

The team set out again and the team grew stronger. In addition to the people from the Pu tribe, there were also long-distance teams from other tribes.

After the team expanded, it became much more lively. 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. The map left by his ancestors was no longer useful. Nearly a thousand years have passed, high mountains and plains have turned into mountains and rivers. The changes are too great, and the composition and distribution of tribes have also undergone tremendous changes. Shao Xuan needs to draw a latest map and take it back, so as not to have difficulty in crossing the river at that time.

At this moment, an experienced traveler was talking to Shao Xuan, telling his experiences.

"We didn't take this road at the beginning, but took another road. Later, a war between tribes broke out there. Until now, we have temporarily changed this road. The river on that route is much wider than here, and there are two colors! There is a tribe next to that river. They are very powerful in making rafts. The rafts there are the largest and most sturdy I have ever seen! It would be great if we could have such a raft." The man recalled, with envy in his eyes.

Seeing Shao Xuan's face full of confusion, the man gestured to Shao Xuan and talked in detail about the "bigest and strongest raft" he said.

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

"Yes, they call the boat."

The man continued to recall and talked about his past experiences, but a few years have passed and many of his memories are a little blurred.

Shao Xuan wrote down these things. If he had time, he wanted to go there to see that when the tribe had to cross the river, he would also need a boat. When there was no metal, Shao Xuan was really not sure how to make a big boat. It would be best to learn some skills from there.

"I remember there were many tourists over there." Another traveler was unwilling to be lonely and came over to chat.

"It seems that, but it's just helping to resist the tree chopping wood. Alas, I heard that the slave owner has been there and has taken away a lot of slaves." The man said before.

In order to expand the number of slaves under his command, slave owners would always go to some places to catch people. The tourists who were defeated without fire and the tribes were destroyed were the targets that slave owners liked to attack the most. However, they would not go to find people immediately after the tribes were destroyed, but wait for a year or two to let the tourists see the situation clearly, and after being setbacks and blows, they would go there again when they were almost desperate. At that time, some tourists who suffered a lot would not avoid the slave owners, but would take the initiative to stick them on, just like a fierce person.

In order to get more slaves, the slave owner would walk around. The same was true for Shi Shu, who Shao Xuan had met before. When Shao Xuan heard the two of them, he learned about some places where Shi Shu had been before.

Shao Xuan secretly remembered those places in his heart. He suspected that Shi Shu had seen people like Yan Shuo, or had seen the totem patterns of the Yanjiao tribe. He didn't know if it might have been seen when he was looking for a slave.

No matter what, Shao Xuan planned to look for it when passing by those places. After all, according to the words passed down by Yan Shuo's ancestors, there should be many wandering people scattered everywhere. Over the years, if generation after generation, there will be many people.

The Yanjiao tribe on the other side of the river is not very large. If you want to expand, the first thing you have to do is to recall the scattered Yanjiao tribe people.

"In addition to those places, there are also many tourists on the grassland we are going to pass behind, and slave owners often come over." said a traveler.

Shao Xuan looked at the area not fully drawn on the map. It was the grassland. The long-distance team did not go deep, but just passed through the boundary area of ​​the grassland. There were many tribes on the grassland, and the people there were also very tough people. The long-distance team did not go deeper.

As he was talking, the sir beside him suddenly said, "Look ahead!"

Shao Xuan's gaze left the map and looked towards the water surface in front.

On the water ahead, there were some people floating, each with fatal scars on it.

"Is there a war ahead?" someone asked.

“It looks quite large.”

The people around were talking, and several leaders of the long-distance team gathered together to discuss, and finally decided to go to the dock and rest for the time being.

"Let's take a break first and send some people to investigate ahead. If there is a tribe fighting, we will avoid it first, or wait a moment, and set off when the other side is over." The person in front said.

The people on the edge of the raft were paddling with wooden oars. After the raft was docked, Shao Xuan and the people around spontaneously tied the raft to trees or big stones on the shore, and carried their own wrapped animal skin bags with them. No one put them on the raft because they could not tell when they would have to abandon the raft to escape. After all, this is not his own tribe, especially in places where wars occurred, which is particularly dangerous and easy to affect the fish in the pond.

The leaders each sent about ten people to find out the situation.

"Shao Xuan, go and see if there are any wild animals around here, hunt one to eat." Wei said.

During rest, the people in the team can hunt nearby, as long as they don’t run far away. If they run far away, the team will not wait if they don’t see anyone.

"Okay." Shao Xuan said to the people next to him. If the team set out, let them greet him.

After leaving the tribe, Shao Xuan ate less ferocious beasts. Generally, the animals hunted were wild animals, and these people did not go to the places where ferocious beasts were distributed.

I miss the flesh of a ferocious beast.

Zhazha didn't know where to hunt, so the guy had high requirements for food and ordinary beasts looked down on it. However, Zhazha had never fallen into the team, and even if he left temporarily, he could catch up with the team quickly. Shao Xuan was not worried about it.

"Look, there is a deer over there!" Wei pointed in one direction and said excitedly. Then he quickly took out his gazebo, stinged as an arrow needle, put it in it, and approached there carefully.

He had to hurry up, otherwise he would have no food to eat if others in the long-distance team were ahead.

Shi quietly approached there, and Shao Xuan followed. However, Shao Xuan always felt something was wrong around him, and it might not be a crisis, but something seemed to have happened, and he was more cautious when sneaking.

When it was about the distance from the deer, the gust pointed the mouth of the gust-out needle to the other side, and the other end was put into the mouth. When it was blowing, the gust's cheeks were still bulging.

Whoosh!

The arrow needle was released very quickly, and the blown arrow needle also accurately shot the deer.

The poison of the arrow needle is not a lethal poison, but a very powerful paralytic poison. The deer shot, the arrow needle pierces the deer's skin, and the poison spreads.

After feeling attacked, the deer wanted to run away quickly, but after just two steps, she staggered a little. After several steps, she fell to the ground.

"Hey! It's done!"

Huo was very excited and prepared to go over and pack up his prey, but was grabbed by Shao Xuan.

"What's wrong?" Wei looked at Shao Xuan in confusion.

Shao Xuan did not answer, but raised his chin in one direction.

Look over.

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

"What's wrong with those birds?" Wei still didn't understand very well. After thinking about it, he said helplessly: "You shouldn't want to eat those birds? Although those birds are not too small, they are not easy to catch. With deer, why should we eat those birds?"

Shao Xuan looked at the silence for a few seconds and said, "Those are scavenging birds."

"Scabbage?"

"The corpse was eaten." Shao Xuan pointed there. "There are still quite a lot."

Some birds were startled just now because of the movement of the deer, but Shao Xuan believed that it was only a small part, and many of them did not fly at all. And the birds that were startled just now flew down quickly.

If there is no food that attracts them, why should they stay on the ground?

As soon as his face calmed down, he put away the gambler. He didn't care about the deer. Compared to his life, he could put it in the food first.

Because of the wind direction, they didn't smell any strange smell when they came. In addition, there were many flowers blooming near the river bank, and the fragrance of flowers overflowed, which disturbed the sense of smell, so they did not notice it at the first time.

"Come and take a look?" said Wei.

Before Shao Xuan could answer, Wei had already taken out the stone knife on his body and headed towards the other side.

Shao Xuan looked around and didn't notice anyone else around him for the time being, so he also lifted his heels.

As we got closer and closer, we were unable to see the situation there because of the dense bushes. However, as we approached, Shao Xuan could already smell the bad smell.

In addition, there are also the movements of scavenging birds pecking at food. There are probably too many snatching food and they will fight each other.

Carefully pushing away the branches blocking the front, Shao Xuan saw the source of the scent.

There are many dead people, and there are more people here than those floating on the river surface. Moreover, because there is no river water to wash, there is a layer of red blood on the ground.

Their dresses were similar to those of the people on the river, and they should be from the same tribe, and in this case, they were obviously slaughtered.

"These people..."

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly found that there was an arm moving in the crowd.

"There are still living people?"

Hearing the sound of the slightest, the person pressed down on it struggled, pushed the person above, revealing a blood-stained face, with only one wound on his body, but it was almost fatal, and the others were mostly fatal injuries with one knife.

Many birds that were originally pecking on the ground were shouting and flying because they noticed the appearance of living people, but some were greedy and still stayed on the ground.

"Save...save me!" The man didn't care about the pecking and biting of the birds around him and crawled towards Wei and Shao Xuan.

Yan frowned and took a step back. He didn't know these people, nor did he want to get involved in the struggle between tribes. He was just a traveler, not a person who came to cause trouble.

"Let's leave..." Before Wei finished speaking, he heard a whoosh.

Puff!

The man who was crawling towards the skull was penetrated by a spear and nailed to death there.

Shao Xuan raised his eyes and looked in one direction. On the other side, on a tree, there was a person standing.

A masked man. (To be continued...)
