"Wake up!" Xiao He responded as he got up and got out of bed. He simply arranged his robes and then opened the door and went out.
Everyone was ready to go and waited for Xiao He. In addition to Dong Ge, there was also Kong Lu, whom Xiao He met on his first day here. The Kong Ge brothers were all prominently present, with a group of nearly twenty people. Each of them wore animal skin armor and held in their hands
The weapons, either swords or axes, are personally crafted by the smelters of the tribe and have good combat effectiveness.
Xiao He smiled knowingly, waved to everyone, jumped down from the thick tree trunk, and walked straight to Dong Ge.
"Greetings to the Chief Secretary!" Before Xiao He could speak, everyone including Dong Ge suddenly saluted Xiao He in unison. Xiao He was really shocked.
"Director?" Xiao He whispered to Dong Ge.
Dong Ge immediately stepped forward, covering his mouth with one hand, and whispered to Xiao He: "The clan leader has officially notified the army and appointed you as the top officer of the munitions department. You will be the leader of the search for Huorongcao this time.
!」
Xiao He smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "Is it because I can cook, the highest officer of the Munitions Department?"
Dong Ge shook his head and said that he didn't know either. Seeing Xiao He still stunned on the spot, Dong Ge had no choice but to remind him that everyone was clasping their fists and lowering their heads, waiting for his instructions.
Although Xiao He already held the positions of great elder, high priest, etc., he was still a little uncomfortable with such preferential treatment when he first arrived. Looking at the crowd, he still made a slight adjustment and said seriously: "Brothers, there is no need to be polite, we treat each other equally!
"
After everyone heard this, they stood up straight again.
"Shall we leave now?" Xiao He asked Dong Ge in a low voice.
"You are the team leader, so of course I have to listen to you!" Dong Ge said half-jokingly.
"Lead the way!" Xiao He said with a smile.
After Xiao He finished speaking, Dong Ge smiled again and turned around to wave. A soldier at the end of the team walked up to Xiao He and stood in front of Xiao He, holding a rein in one hand. He first performed a military salute and then said respectfully: "Please, Sir
Director, get on your horse!"
Xiao He politely returned the greeting to the soldier in front of him. Dong Ge patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so polite, Chief. You are their commander. The tribe's army has a strict hierarchy. You will gradually get used to it."
"
Such a simple truth naturally made Xiao He understand it. He immediately got on his horse, lowered his head slightly and said to the soldier holding the horse for him: "Little brother, follow the team. I, a senior director, don't need my brother to hold the horse for me."
Hold the whip."
"Yes!" The soldier saluted the military salute again, turned around and ran to the end of the team. Dong Ge, Kong Lu and Kong Ge, as the vanguard officers, also rode on fast horses and walked alongside Xiao He.
On the way, Dong Ge joked: "How about it? It's been a long time since you felt like riding a horse, right?"
Xiao He replied: "How wonderful it is to gallop around the world!"
Kong Ge also said: "If I were not worried about encountering a thunderstorm, I would really like to walk with the chief on the sword, then it would really be called galloping through the world!"
Xiao He said with a smile: "If you walk freely, the earth will be under your feet!"
After Xiao He finished speaking, he clamped his legs hard and rode away in a hurry, followed by a team of more than 20 people. Although the speed was not as fast as walking with a sword, these people were quite powerful, especially the magic beasts of Xiao He and the other four.
Fanpin has traveled more than a hundred miles in the blink of an eye.
"Brother Dong, how long does it take to march here?" Xiao He shouted as the wind whistled in his ears.
"Two days and one night!" Dong Ge also responded loudly.
"Where will we rest tonight?" Xiao He asked again.
"There is a mountain forest not far ahead. We can reach it in the evening. Let's rest in the forest!" Dong Ge replied.
"Are there any monsters living in the forest?" Xiao He asked again.
When Dong Ge heard this, he felt strange. He turned to look at Xiao He. Seeing the evil smile on his face, he suddenly understood. He spurred on his horse and turned back to shout to the team: "Brothers, walk faster. In the evening, the boss
I’ll give you some extra food!”
"Okay!" When the soldiers heard this, their morale immediately became high. Everyone cheered loudly and their feet also accelerated at the same time.
There was silence all the way, and when the sky gradually darkened, the group of people had marched to a vast plain. As the sun approached the west mountain, everyone gradually slowed down. Dong
Ge rode a horse and walked side by side with Xiao He, and reported to Xiao He in a low voice: "After passing this plain, there should be a low mountain not far ahead. Once you enter the mountain, you can see the forest!"
"Then tell brothers, walk faster!" Xiao He said.
Dong Ge looked embarrassed and said, "It's just..."
Xiao He turned to look at Dong Ge and saw that his brows were furrowed and he hesitated to speak, so he asked, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Dong Ge immediately replied: "It's just that when I came here last time, it didn't seem to be so miasmatic!"
"Are you very affected?" Xiao He asked.
Dong Ge replied: "That's not necessarily the case. The last time I passed here, I only looked for the fire and grass, and didn't stop further. I had the impression that there is another mountain range in this plain, not far from the mountains and forests I passed."
Xiao He nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "In this case, even if you go wrong, it won't be too detoured!"
"Yes!" Dong Ge replied.
"That's okay" Xiao He said: "The tribe is waiting for our fire melting grass, try not to delay the journey, not to mention the plains have nothing to rely on, lest they encounter the gods of the seven cities, tell the brothers to speed up and hurry up before the sky is completely dark.
I went into the forest to rest before."
"Yes!" Kong Ge and Kong Lu said in unison, and then conveyed Xiao He's order to every soldier. The group headed towards the miasma mist in such a mighty manner.
Entering the miasma, the marching speed of the people obviously slowed down. Kong Lu and Kong Ge closely guarded Xiao He with nervous expressions. Xiao He saw this and relaxed and said: "With Dong Ge as a living map, you can
You two don't need to worry too much, everyone is a little too nervous."
"Chief Director, you don't know something." Kong Ge explained: "The climate of Tongtian Fortress is already cloudy and sunny. Danger can appear at any time when the field of vision is wide. What's more, it is now foggy and the visibility is extremely poor. We have no choice but to
Be alert and prepared to deal with emergencies."
In fact, how could Xiao He not understand this truth? When he first came here, he had already felt some changes in the world. The area covered by his consciousness had shrunk many times compared to what it was in the eastern human area.
He knew that he had to improve his level in order to regain the same level of abilities he had in the eastern part of the continent in a completely different world.
At the same time, Xiao He also knew that in the miasma, in addition to the thunder and fire that may appear at any time, those monsters dormant in the dark may appear with a higher probability. That is the real danger they are likely to encounter. And he
The scope that my spiritual consciousness can currently cover is very limited, and naturally I don't have full confidence in my heart.
As a leader, he must be calm.
However, this time, Xiao He's worries were unnecessary. They marched without incident. When the sky was getting dark and the moon shadow had just climbed into the clouds, they successfully entered the edge of a mountain forest.
As soon as they entered the forest, Xiao He and others dismounted and rested, preparing to arrange for the soldiers to set up camp. Everyone was really relaxed. Only Dong Ge began to observe the surrounding environment. After several confirmations, Dong Ge smiled bitterly and said to Xiao He: "We
Sure enough, we went to the wrong place."
Xiao He smiled calmly, observed the surroundings and said, "It's okay. I'll rest at the edge of the mountain forest tonight. I'll ask my two brothers to come with me to catch a monster and roast it for dinner!"
"This is what we have to do!" Dong Ge was a little worried, but had no other choice. But at this moment, thunder suddenly broke out in the sky not far away, and everyone looked back in panic. The sky above the miasma was covered with dark clouds, and purple thunderfires appeared frequently.
Bombarding the empty land - a thunderstorm occurred.
Everyone was still frightened, and Kong Lu couldn't help but sigh: "It's so suspenseful!"
Kong Ge also said: "The Chief Secretary is truly a blessed general!"
Xiao He smiled and said: "Arrange the brothers to camp and rest. Kong Lu, you take the two brothers and go hunting with me!"
"Yes!" Kong Lu said.
At this time, Dong Ge hesitated and seemed to want to go with him. Xiao He saw what he meant and comforted him with a smile: "You are our eyes, I need you to be energetic, have a good rest!"
"Okay!" Dong Ge smiled.
In this way, Xiao He led the people and walked slowly towards the depths of the dense forest.
The moonlight was scattered, and most of the monsters in the forest were asleep. Occasionally, you could see a few rats, squatting on the thick tree trunks to worship the moon. Xiao He and his people passed by gently. These short rats could not satisfy the two.
For the taste buds of a dozen people.
After walking for a long time, a sweet fragrance rushed into everyone's noses. Everyone stopped and looked drunk. Under the moonlight, a docile forest musk deer was eating wild flowers with its head down, and the fragrance continued to come from the forest musk deer's sachet.
came. The forest musk deer was obsessed with the flowers and seemed not to notice the danger coming.
"Ah sneeze!"
Suddenly, a person next to Kong Lu couldn't help but sneeze.
The sudden sound obviously disturbed the forest musk deer in the distance. It raised its head alertly, staring at the human looking at it in the distance with a pair of bright eyes. Then it turned around, jumped more than ten meters in two or three times, and disappeared like this.
In the dense forest.
When everyone saw this, they all shot away without Xiao He's orders.
Xiao He shook his head and smiled bitterly, and flew away in the direction of everyone. By the time Xiao He caught up with everyone, everyone had already captured the forest musk deer.
Lin She was lying on the ground, breathless, which made Xiao He feel pity. But there were so many people waiting to fill their stomachs, not to mention the law of the jungle, which has existed since the eastern part of the mainland, let alone in this person
What a chaotic place that can eat people.
Although there was still no seasoning on hand at this time, the musk in the forest musk bag was the most natural spice. Others did not understand the process of making barbecue, so they had to stand aside and watch Xiao He busy.
I saw him cutting the venison into large pieces, cleaning the meat with stream water, and marinating the venison on the bluestone with the musk in the bag. Then he took out the fat and tender parts and heated them with magic, and the fat melted in the air.
It gradually made a sizzling sound, and drops of natural oil dripped evenly onto the marinated venison. After a while, the entire venison was roasted and matured.
After doing all this, Xiao He returned with everyone satisfied. By a stream in the forest, only a skeleton was left, as if it had just been robbed by a wild beast.
