Today's weather is particularly good, with a gentle breeze and very far visibility. Although the temperature is about ten degrees below zero, the stars are shining brightly, and you can feel the warmth both physically and mentally.
After turning a high slope, I saw the buildings at the canyon base, but I didn't see any soldiers around.
Ye Qiong rode on Daidai's back and patted Daidai's back, causing Daidai to speed up immediately.
Before reaching the canyon base, from inside the canyon base, a figure suddenly sprinted out from the gate and ran towards Ye Qiong.
He was a warrior from the tribe. Ye Qiong frowned when he saw the warrior who ran out. This was not the way the soldiers at the canyon base greeted him. It seemed that something had gone wrong here.
"Young Patriarch!" Before joining Ye Qiong, the warrior riding on the snowy demon wolf shouted towards Ye Qiong.
After a while, the middle-aged warrior riding the Snow Demon Wolf stopped in front of Ye Qiong and lay down blankly. Otherwise, the soldiers below would have a hard time looking at Ye Qiong.
"Where are the others?" Ye Qiong glanced at the soldiers beneath him, then at the canyon base, and continued to ask with a frown.
"There is a situation in the north. The soldiers watching at night saw fire there last night. The captain led his people to go north along the canyon in the morning. They haven't come back yet..." The soldier below looked up at Ye Qiong and said.
"How many people are left at the base?" Ye Qiong continued to ask.
"There are seven more. I am responsible for watching from the base, three are on guard at the sentry tower, and there are three secret sentries." The soldier explained immediately, looking around as he spoke.
Ye Qiong nodded: "Well, you continue to be vigilant, I will go over there and have a look..."
"Yes!" The middle-aged soldier nodded immediately.
Ye Qiong immediately ran towards the north on his horse. After leaving the canyon base, he quickly found some footprints. The footprints on the snow continued to extend northward after leaving the canyon base, close to
The canyon disappeared into the distant horizon.
The middle-aged warrior over there looked at Ye Qiong and Dadu's leaving figures, turned around and rode the Snow Demon Wolf back to the canyon base.
In winter, if you encounter fire, there are two situations.
Either a human tribe, or...
Just a madman.
The intelligence of madmen is much lower than that of humans, but compared to Warcraft, their IQ is still much higher.
So in winter, madmen can use fire, but after the madman's genes have mutated, the cooked food is very difficult for them to swallow. Although they can use fire, madmen cannot
How to cook, most of them are used for lighting or heating.
Now that there is fire in the canyon base, the soldiers here definitely need to go and take a look.
Early this morning, Kuang Beili left the soldiers on daily alert at the base and took the remaining soldiers out of the canyon base.
Ye Qiong and Daidai ran wildly along the footprints on the snow. On the way, Ye Qiong was also thinking about the fire.
For Ye Qiong, he naturally hoped that those firelights were coming from other tribes. In this case, he could try to win over them.
If people are not forming tribes, then there is only one result left, which is madmen!
If he was really a madman, Ye Qiong would still be more worried about Kuang Beili and the others. Compared with the soldiers currently stationed at the canyon base here, there are a total of twenty-five, which is close to the strength of a platoon.
The current canyon base, after the central tribe's position no longer changes, will function somewhat like a border defense base. Although the strength of this platoon is not large for the Ye Qiong tribe, it is still an indispensable part.
For a small tribe like that, the entire tribe has a full complement of warriors, which is only a hundred or so people.
Therefore, at the canyon base, for the Ye Qiong tribe, while gaining greater opportunities, they also have to face the cruel crisis of winter. Accidents may happen at any time here, so the soldiers must maintain their vigilance every day.
Maintaining a first-level combat readiness status.
In winter, Daidai's speed was far beyond what the Snow Demon Wolf could compare to. Ye Qiong rode on Daidai's back and walked north along the Snow Demon Wolf's footprints for about half an hour.
After descending a high slope, he saw those figures in the distance. They were dressed in familiar clothes, and the Snow Demon Wolf was obviously one size larger than other tribes. Ye Qiong recognized them immediately.
He is a warrior of his own tribe.
These soldiers are now concentrated at the foot of a mountain. This side is sheltered from the wind, so the snow is not very deep.
When the soldiers saw Dudu, they immediately realized that it was Ye Qiong who was coming. Three figures rode towards Ye Qiong, riding on snowy demon wolves.
After the rendezvous, Ye Qiong breathed a sigh of relief at first. After seeing the soldiers here just now, Ye Qiong immediately counted the number of people and found that there was no reduction in the number of soldiers.
"Young Patriarch!" Kuang Beili rushed to the front. After arriving in front of Ye Qiong, he immediately said hello to Ye Qiong.
Ye Qiong nodded, continued to glance at the soldiers who were still at the foot of the mountain, and then looked at Kuang Beili and asked: "Did you find anything?"
Kuang Beili immediately nodded: "There are people under the canyon over there. I brought the brothers here first, and we are discussing how to deal with it..."
"Human or madman?" Ye Qiong looked at the direction of Kuang Beili's finger and asked a key question.
If the distance is too far, without a telescope, it is actually difficult to tell whether it is a human or a madman. Especially in winter, both humans and madmen live in snow caves and wear very thick clothing.
, if the distance is more than 500 meters, it will basically be difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
If you have enough time, you can judge by observing your habits, but Kuang Beili and the others have just arrived here not long ago.
They were different from Ye Qiong. Ye Qiong rode directly on Daidai's back and flew directly along the footprints.
Kuang Beili and the others set out in the morning, but they were not moving very fast on the road. In winter, with their current strength, they had to proceed carefully, just in case.
If once you are attacked by a horde of beasts and madmen, the earlier you discover it, the greater your chance of escaping.
The distance between here and the base of the canyon is about 20 kilometers. Kuang Beili and the others set out in the morning and have not arrived here until now. After the soldiers in charge of the investigation discovered the danger, the soldiers temporarily gathered at the foot of the mountain here.
under.
Unexpectedly, not long after they gathered together, Ye Qiong came over on Daidai. After the soldiers saw Ye Qiong and Daidai, the soldiers who were still a little nervous suddenly stopped being nervous and became a little excited.
