After drawing a simple map by hand, Ye Qiong and Dadai immediately came down from the boulder.
On the map, there are two places specially marked by Ye Qiong, which are the two suspicious locations.
When they arrived at the wooden house here, Ye Qiong gathered the soldiers together.
Thirty soldiers gathered on the second floor terrace of the wooden house, and it didn't seem crowded. Ye Qiong expanded this wooden house several times during the summer.
After the five Qiongqi soldiers came to garrison, they had nothing to do here, so apart from eating, drinking, sleeping, and taking turns to guard, they basically continued to expand the wooden house the rest of the time.
The wooden house now covers an area of 200 square meters, and the terrace above is quite large.
It is no exaggeration to say that it would not be a big problem if hundreds of people gathered at the same time.
After a brief meeting with the soldiers, Ye Qiong left three soldiers and two powerful archers to continue garrisoning the wooden house here.
It's still the same as before, if you encounter danger or other emergencies, safety first, retreat to the waterfall base first. If anything happens at the waterfall base, the passage wooden house here can also take care of you.
The remaining twenty-five soldiers dispersed and replenished some supplies and food at the wooden house.
When the tribe evacuated from here, they were probably in a hurry. They were probably afraid that the army and soldiers would catch up directly along the passage, so they ran away without touching the supplies that Ye Qiong had stored here during the summer. and food.
After gathering again, Ye Qiong counted the number of people and followed the traces left by the tribe directly into the dense forest.
There were still blood stains on the ground. After walking one kilometer along the dense forest, the blood stains dripping on the snowdrifts began to decrease. It seemed that the bleeding had stopped.
Or maybe, because the person is gone, the blood has completely coagulated.
If the tribesmen over there died at this time, they would most likely be abandoned. However, no corpses were found along the way, and they might have been killed by scavengers or other small beasts in the dense forest.
Continue to follow the traces they left deep into the jungle. If there is a direction, Ye Qiong and the soldiers are moving very fast. What's more, when they escaped, they not only left traces along the way, but also There is compacted snow.
It was a lot more convenient for Ye Qiong and the soldiers as latecomers.
In the dense forest, they can advance about five kilometers in an hour on average. If nothing goes wrong, Ye Qiong and the others will be able to reach the location marked on the map today.
Ye Qiong took out the map from time to time and looked at it. Judging from the current route, he would reach the left side marked on the map in a short time, which is ten kilometers away from the wooden house.
But tonight, we will definitely have to spend the night in the dense forest. Ye Qiong and the soldiers have already made preparations. The supplies and food they brought out this time are quite sufficient. There will be no problem in staying in the dense forest for half a month. of.
If Ye Qiong and Dudu are there, even if the supplies and food they are carrying are used up, it will not be a big problem. At least there will be no shortage of food.
At this point, Ye Qiong is still very confident, and in the dense forest, there is no need to worry about encountering beasts and crazy crowds in winter. In winter, the biggest threat is the snowstorm, because you may be directly buried by the snowstorm.
After walking for another two kilometers along the traces, a place that surprised Ye Qiong appeared, which was the altar.
In the summer, Ye Qiong found the place where 荭㺠 was.
It can be seen that they have been here for a while.
After arriving here, Ye Qiong asked the soldiers to stop first. While resting on the spot, Ye Qiong also began to check this place. After all, he himself found some very pure salt here in the summer. , as for other things, I didn’t find much.
Ye Qiong always felt that it was not that simple for the altar to appear in this location in the dense forest, so during the summer, he would run here every once in a while.
Unfortunately, nothing was found.
The current altar has been covered with snow, and it is now covered with footprints left by the tribesmen in front. These footprints will not disappear until the next snowstorm hits.
In addition to human footprints, there are also footprints of other creatures, and the number is quite large.
Ye Qiong stared at those strange footprints. They were not those of the Snow Demon Wolf, nor did they look like those of a scavenger.
Ye Qiong called two Qiongqi warriors over.
The two warriors closest to Ye Qiong immediately ran over. After arriving in front of Ye Qiong, they also squatted on the ground with Ye Qiong.
The two of them looked at the footprints that Ye Qiong was staring at with some curiosity. One of the older warriors said, "Young patriarch?"
"When you fought against that tribe earlier, did they ride anything?" Ye Qiong looked at the two of them and said.
The two of them shook their heads without thinking. The soldier who just spoke continued: "No, the situation at that time was that the five brothers stationed in the Dinglong Mountains had withdrawn first. We have already done what we did here. It was a good defense, and those people rushed out and started fighting without saying a word, without riding any monsters or anything like that."
Ye Qiong nodded and began to frown as he looked at the footprints of monsters on the ground.
Without a mount, the combat effectiveness is not very good...
How did this tribe survive in the Dinglong Mountains?
Or rather, the depths of the Dinglong Mountains are much safer than the outside...
Now that the footprints suddenly appeared on the altar, Ye Qiong started to worry a little about the people of that tribe.
Various questions appeared in Ye Qiong's mind. If he wanted to know the answers to these questions, he had to find the tribe first.
After catching up with that tribe and defeating them directly, for Ye Qiong, many problems will be solved.
What we have to do now is to rush as fast as possible, lest they really run away, and Ye Qiong will be really unhappy.
In order to rush for time, after stopping at the altar for a while, he continued on his way with the soldiers.
After coming out of the altar in the dense forest, Ye Qiong and the soldiers continued to move forward along the traces left behind.
Judging from the footprints, Ye Qiong is not too worried about that tribe now, because those animal footprints have not disappeared, but continue to go deep into the dense forest together with the human footprints.
Not only that, there are more human footprints on the ground.
From this point of view, the extra footprints of humans and beasts should be to meet them.
There are still about five kilometers left to the first position marked by Ye Qiong on the map...
If nothing else happens, the team will be able to get there before dark.
