Because Hua was pregnant, Hongya finally stayed in the tribe.
Originally he wanted to go, but under the "ferocious" eyes of everyone, Hongya still stayed in the tribe obediently, guarding the tribe and taking care of the flowers.
And his position was naturally taken by Mai.
Mai was unusually tired today. Although the other totem warriors had dark circles under their eyes after struggling all night, they were not as depressed as Mai.
When Yang Cheng saw Mai early this morning, he was frightened, thinking that Mai had some disease.
But fortunately, after Yang Cheng carefully checked and inquired, he found out that it was caused by Mai and his wife exercising too hard last night, and he was relieved.
Everyone was relieved along with Yang Cheng, but then the jokes started.
Mai and his wife are an old couple. Yesterday I heard that Hua was pregnant, which made Mai's wife jealous to death, which is why Mai is in such a depressed state today.
Being laughed at by everyone, Mai had a dark face, but had no way to refute, so he could only keep his head buried and go on his way.
Naturally, everyone would not give up this rare and happy joke during the journey. They would tell it from time to time along the way, and it would cause laughter every time.
In this way, the expedition team of the Qingque Tribe rode the tamed wind horse beast and rushed towards the direction of the Stone Tribe.
*****
Seven days later, the Stone Tribe.
As the most powerful totem warrior of the Stone Tribe, Shi Chang is responsible for hunting every day.
On this day, Shi Chang woke up from his sleep as usual, then washed his face a little, took his spear, and shouted several times to other caves.
The Stone Tribe is located in a group of hills.
There isn't much else in this place, only caves.
Therefore, each tribe has its own cave, and they do not all live together like other tribes.
Hearing Shi Chang's shouts, the few totem warriors of the Stone Tribe each got up from their sleep or from the arms of the female tribe members, and came lazily in front of Shi Chang.
If you don't go hunting, it's a must, and it's something you can't even think about.
However, the location of the Stone Tribe is not good. There are many bare hills nearby and there are very few ferocious beasts. Especially this winter, they have hunted many ferocious beasts, and there are not many ferocious beasts nearby.
So not only did they have to hunt longer today, but they also had to go to some distant places.
"One, two, three, four...eleven."
Chang Shi counted the number of totem warriors using a knotted rope with a vine. After confirming that there were many, he roared at them and raised the spear in his hand:
"Set off!"
After Shi Chang roared, he turned around and set off with the totem warriors of the Stone Tribe.
Because ferocious beasts are difficult to find, there are few totem warriors in the Stone Tribe, so all totem warriors must join the hunting team, and no one can stay in the Stone Tribe.
As for the safety of the witches and other tribesmen who stayed in the tribe, after the totem warriors left, they would pick up stones and block the cave.
Although there will still be ferocious beasts that smell the smell, if they encounter low-level ferocious beasts, they can at least be safe and wait for Shi Chang and the others to come back.
But if they encounter intermediate or high-level ferocious beasts, the tribesmen left behind in the Stone Tribe can only resign themselves to their fate.
There is nothing that can be done about it. The survival of small tribes in the wilderness is so cruel.
Shi Chang led the few totem warriors of the Stone Tribe towards the south. There was a forest over there, and there might be some low-level ferocious beasts in the woods. Those ferocious beasts were the hope of the tribe's food source.
Walked for two hours.
Shi Chang led the totem warriors to the woods. After resting for a while at the entrance of the forest, Shi Chang asked the totem warriors to divide into three teams and look for traces of the ferocious beasts everywhere.
After finding the trace, then send a signal to gather. As for the signal, it is very simple, just whistle and make some noise. When the tribesmen here find out, they will move closer.
After telling the "captains" of the other two teams to pay attention, Shi Chang walked in another direction with the two totem warriors following him.
Just walked for a while.
Shi Chang and others noticed that the woods in the distance were shaking. They looked at each other and saw that there were traces of ferocious beasts.
Seeing this, one of them wanted to send a signal and whistle to let the other two teams of totem warriors come over.
However, the highest-ranking stone leader noticed something was wrong and quickly stopped the tribesman who was about to send a signal.
He listened carefully.
"It's not the trace of a ferocious beast." Shi Chang's face was solemn and he whispered: "It's the voice of a human being."
He heard clearly clearly that there were voices in the distant movement, as if they were scolding something and were heading this way.
Seeing this, Shi Chang had no time to warn the other two teams, and immediately led several other totem warriors to climb onto a nearby tree with lush leaves and hid.
Shi Chang and others held their breath and concentrated for a while.
With the swaying of leaves in the distance and the growing voices, they finally saw who it was.
"It's the Black Snake Tribe!"
Shi Chang's heart skipped a beat, he could see clearly!
He remembered the appearance of the Snake Cultivator. It was the Snake Cultivator who bullied them at the exchange ceremony. If the Qingque Tribe hadn't suddenly helped, Shi Chang and the others would have been seriously injured, and it would have been difficult for them to return to the tribe.
Seeing that they were from the Black Snake Tribe, Shi Chang immediately asked the three people next to him to hide among the leaves, hiding even deeper.
The other three people had also seen the Snake Cultivator, and knowing that the people coming were from the Black Snake Tribe, they immediately hid deeper without any further instructions from Chief Shi to prevent their own figures from being exposed.
The Black Snake Tribe is a powerful tribe, and their leader is a fifth-grade totem warrior. Although Shi Chang hates the Black Snake Tribe, he knows that the Black Snake Tribe is a tribe that they must not offend.
"Go, go quickly!"
"Don't be lazy!"
"You want to be beaten, don't you? Get out of here quickly!"
…
As the Black Snake Tribe gets closer and closer.
Shi Chang and others noticed that something was wrong. The team below seemed to be not only totem warriors from the Black Snake Tribe, but also totem warriors from other tribes.
Shi Chang could clearly see that the group of people walking in the front had no weapons and their hands were tied by vines. The totems exposed on the chests of some people were not from the Black Snake Tribe, but various kinds. , as if gathered together from different tribes.
And although the totems on these people's chests are still there, they seem to be sealed by something, dark and unable to light up.
The totem warriors behind them who were urging them forward with spear weapons were from the Black Snake Tribe. This could also be seen from the totems exposed on their chests.
The number of people on both sides was probably larger in the front, while the Black Snake tribe in the back had fewer people.
However, for someone who could only use knotted ropes to count stone lengths, he could not calculate the specific number of people.
"Why are the Black Snake Tribe escorting these totem warriors?"
"Where did these totem warriors from other tribes come from?"
Shi Chang was puzzled.
