Jia Chao had no idea that the black giant lizard was resurrected with the help of the captive's body. He led a group of people back to the camp in the woods about three hours later.
There were only old people and children in this group, not women. Seventeen old people and thirteen children, thirty people in total.
The place where Tu Ming temporarily placed them was not far from the camp. From their mouths, Jia Chao learned that these people were all people who had recently lost their tribe.
In other words, in addition to attacking the Flame Stone Tribe, the Black Lizard Tribe also attacked many other small tribes.
These small tribes do not have spirit speakers or elemental warriors, so the autumn hunting is carried out in full force, and even the elderly and children come to carry the prey.
But in the end, what they moved most was not the corpses of wild beasts, but the corpses of their tribesmen.
The people of the Black Lizard tribe did not kill them all. They took away the women, leaving the old people and children behind to bury their tribesmen.
When Jia Chao led these desperate people back to the woods, Hongya and the others' eyes were straight.
They couldn't understand what Jia Chao did, because according to the past customs of the tribe, these old people were old enough to sit in the forest of the dead and wait for death.
"Chief Achao, we are not hunting today. What will you bring back so many old people and children to eat?"
Hongya looked uneasily at the few small beasts Maoyu and the others had hunted nearby, and asked Jia Chao uneasily.
After hearing this, Jia Chao directly took out the carcasses of two bison from the spiritual sea space, "If you don't have enough meat, call me! I have more here!"
Hongya was stunned when he saw this, "Where did you hunt the bison?"
Jia Chao pointed at Xingyue and Dalang, "They hunted all the wild beasts we encountered along the way. What we gained along the way was more than what you hunted yesterday!"
Hongya was speechless, "Then why don't we make them into dried meat? Wouldn't the corpses of prey also rot if placed in the spiritual sea space?"
Jia Chao shook his head and was about to refute Hongya when a voice came from behind him:
"We can't make jerky now, it's going to rain soon!"
Jia Chao turned his head and glanced at the speaker. He was an old man who was taken in by Tu Ming.
This old man looked to be about sixty years old, with only a tattered animal skin skirt all over his body. Although he is thin, the muscles on his body are very strong.
Her long white hair was tied up into a high ponytail with grass roots, which made her look somewhat immortal.
Jia Chao immediately felt that this person was unusual and asked him immediately:
"Old man, how did you know it was going to rain?"
The old man patted his knees and said:
“Every time it’s going to rain, old man, my legs hurt!”
Jia Chao: "..."
I thought you knew some divination skills like that old sage Nunshi, but it turns out you are an old rheumatism!
"May I ask what the old man's name is?"
Old man: "My name is Leguo, and I am a priest!"
Jia Chao said "Oh", "Can you do divination?"
The old man named Le Guo glanced at Jia Chao with a complicated expression, shook his head and said:
"Why do you think priests can divine?"
Jia Chao: "Uh...don't the priest know how to divination?"
Le Guo smiled and said, "Of course the priest can't do divination! The priest is only responsible for sacrifices, and only the wind whisperers can do divination!"
Jia Chao was speechless after hearing what he said. It turned out that Nushi was really a magic stick!
"Well, old man, since you are a priest, you must know how to manage people. Then you can lead the old people and children who came with you, how about you?"
Le Guo nodded and said, "No problem, but I hope you, Chief Achao, will keep your promise and help me save my child."
Jia Chao nodded, "Don't worry, as soon as we have information about him, we will rescue him immediately."
After receiving Jia Chao's promise, Le Guo turned around and walked towards where the old people and children were.
Because they had two bison, the tribesmen generously gave them a lot of food.
Everyone set up a bonfire in the open space next to the woods, cut the bison meat into small pieces and roasted it.
As a result, it got dark before the barbecue was ready, and heavy dark clouds shrouded the sky, as if it was going to be night next moment.
Then it started to rain lightly. Upon seeing this, Jia Chao immediately asked everyone to hide in the woods.
Not long after, the bonfire set up by the tribesmen in the open space was extinguished.
In desperation, Jia Chao had no choice but to take out the dried meat from the spiritual sea space and give it to the tribesmen.
What Jia Chao didn't expect was that Luo Guo and his group were not interested in the dried meat he had marinated in salt. Instead, they rushed into the rain and brought back the half-cooked meat skewers.
"Hey! Old man, don't eat that raw meat! It will cause diarrhea!" Jia Chao dissuaded.
However, Luoguo and the others didn't take his words to heart at all, they just took those meat skewers and ate them happily.
Seeing this, Jia Chao had no choice but to rush in front of them and take away the meat skewers by force, "Why are you disobedient!"
Le Guo and the other elderly people looked at Jia Chao with aggrieved expressions.
"You young man, why don't you know how to be considerate of the elderly?" an old woman who looked about the same age as Luo Guo spoke.
She pointed to the five remaining teeth in her mouth and said, "Do you think we can eat those dried meats?"
Jia Chao: "..."
After a while, smoke was rising from several trees.
Jia Chao asked He Ye to use his abilities to make some simple earthen stoves with clay pots on them.
Jia Chao asked the tribesmen to stew beef in a clay pot, and also added some wild fruits collected locally in the woods to the clay pot.
The tribesmen who were used to seeing meat stewed in earthenware pots were lying or sitting in relatively dry places, while Dioguo and the others were curiously pointing around the pots.
The children were fine. They could soothe their stomachs by tearing the dry meat with their crooked mouths.
A group of old people who had been hungry for a long time smelled the smell escaping from the "gurgling" pottery pot, and all of them drooled to the tips of their beards.
When the beef was finally stewed, Dimethoate wanted to reach out and open the lid, but fortunately, he was stopped by Xingyue who had been standing by.
Xingyue took out a pottery bowl, filled a bowl full of broth with a spoon and handed it to dimethoate.
"It's hot! Eat slowly! Blow!"
Xingyue said to Le Guo seriously.
Le Guo took the pottery bowl with a grateful face, looked at an old woman next to him, and handed the bowl to her with a doting look on his face.
"You come first! Listen to the little girl, eat slowly and be careful not to burn it!"
The old woman took the pottery bowl unceremoniously and put her mouth to the edge of the bowl. At this time, the dilettante next to her said again, "Blow, blow!"
The old woman was stunned for a moment, blew it honestly, and then took a sip of the soup.
The next second, the old woman jumped up because of the hot broth.
"Hoo ho ho! Ho! Ho ho ho!"
She made an uncomfortable roar in her throat, but she held it steady in her hands, and not a drop of soup in the pottery bowl spilled.
At this time, only Leguo was heard scolding next to him:
"Burn you silly bitch to death! Come first if I ask you to!"
Jia Chao, who had been watching the excitement, almost spit out a mouthful of blood when he heard this.
What is the relationship between the old man Le Guo and the old woman? At first, I thought they were a couple who would grow old together. Why did it happen?
Compared with Jia Chao's melon-eating mentality, the mentality of Hongya and other tribesmen is much more serious.
They enthusiastically gave the old people chopsticks and taught them how to fish the meat out of the pottery bowl correctly and how to wait until the broth was cold before drinking it.
Soon the elders learned to eat with chopsticks, and the children joined in on the stew.
Hongya and the others didn't fight with them, but waited until they had finished eating before they started cooking their own again.
After finishing this meal, it was getting dark.
Jia Chao asked everyone to use animal skins to build shelters in the forest to shelter from wind and rain. Everyone squeezed together and made do.
Those who did not have a shed were assigned several earthen caves.
These soil holes are made by the power of the river leaves, like pockets, with the mouth of the bag higher than the ground to prevent rainwater from entering the hole.
There is a bonfire burning in the earth stove above the earth cave, making the earth cave warm.
After everyone had rested, Jia Chao began to communicate with Dalang.
"Have you found Dioguo's son?"
While munching on wild fruits that came from nowhere, Dalang organized and passed the information collected by the intelligence team to Jia Chao.
Because it is real-time information, the information delivered by Dalang is very fragmented, but it is very important.
Because this information all points to one clue, that is the Black Lizard Tribe.
What surprised Jia Chao was that the Black Lizard Tribe sent almost two thousand people to the Baimu Grassland.
They were divided into eight teams and plundered everywhere on the grassland. The team that attacked the Flame Stone Tribe before was just one of them.
Judging from the information collected by the intelligence team, it seems that they all know about the Flame Stone Tribe, and several teams have already begun to come here.
"Boss, look at the news from Gray Girl!" Just as Jia Chao was still sorting out the fragmented information, Dalang sent another message.
The message from Gray Girl was that there were many women imprisoned in a cave.
There were less than fifty people guarding the cave, and the leader was a fat woman weighing about two hundred pounds.
The fat woman was lying in a grass nest, and there were three strong men huddled in the grass nest.
Among them was a man with a high ponytail and a tear-stained face, his hands folded across his chest, his face full of unyielding and anger.
Jia Chao raised his eyes and glanced in the direction of Le Guo, basically confirming that the man was Le Guo's son Shuoshi.
Because their appearance is so similar, the only difference seems to be a long white beard.
"Where is Gray Girl?" Jia Chao asked Dalang.
Dalang closed his eyes and felt for a moment, then raised his head and looked toward the northeast.
"Over there! It won't take long to get there in the form of thunder element!"
Jia Chao nodded, "Then let's hurry over there while it's dark!"
Upon hearing this, Dalang immediately transformed, "Do you want to be called Xingyue?"
Jia Chao shook his head and said simply: "Don't scream!"
The moment he finished speaking, a cold feeling crawled up his back.
Jia Chao slowly turned his head, only to find Xingyue staring at him from a tree not far behind him.
Xingyue jumped down from the tree and came to his side, stretched out her right hand and poked his chest with her finger.
"You are the chief, why are you running around! If you want to go, I will go too!"
Jia Chao was stunned for a moment and said:
"What are you going to do, a little girl?"
Xingyue: "I have more experience in fighting than you! How many people have you killed?"
"Uh..." Jia Chao was stunned. Although he had participated in several battles, it seemed that he actually killed people last night.
That person was the only one who was actually killed by him, and the rest died at the hands of Xingyue and Dalang.
Thinking of this, Jia Chao said to Dalang: "Take care of Xingyue! Don't take all those people with you when you come back, otherwise you won't be able to run fast!"
Dalang nodded and was about to set off when he heard an old voice shouting next to him:
"etc!"
