Ye Qiong's original plan was to go back to the waterfall base in the next two days and take advantage of this winter to study the things deep in the cave at the waterfall base, whether it was the seemingly huge void space on the left or The stone walls blocking the steps in the cave on the right.
This made Ye Qiong realize that the waterfall cave was not simple. There must be other reasons why the ancestors of the Na Ning tribe chose to live there for so long.
As the tribe's current output of grease lamps gradually increases, it has enough ability to explore some of the areas inside.
But in the absence of technological light sources for lighting, the ability to explore is still limited.
Even on earth in the technological age, cave exploration is quite difficult and very dangerous. Countless explorers die in caves almost every year around the world.
The appearance of the Ice Pine Tribe has caused Ye Qiong's plan to return to the waterfall base to be postponed for a while.
For the time being, Ye Qiong still has to remain skeptical about the Bingsong Tribe's rhetoric. Although the Ye Qiong Tribe is developing very fast, it is still a bit insignificant in front of the real super tribe, so it must be guarded and repaired at the same time. muscle.
This is also the reason why Ye Qiong left Yang Ergan and a dozen Qiongqi warriors at the northern mountain base...
That kid was always a troublemaker, and Ye Qiong didn't believe that he could hold back his hands and avoid fighting with the soldiers of the Bingsong tribe.
Controllable small fights are an important basis for testing the temperament of a tribe. Therefore, under Ye Qiong's arrangement, Ye Tianling became the manipulator behind the scenes this time, leaving a few of his trusted warriors to prepare for a thorough study. The soldiers of the Bingsong tribe have comprehensive strength and living habits.
And Ye Qiong himself was not idle either. Hearing from the description of the warrior from the Bingsong Tribe who could translate, the Thunder Madman King came all the way from the extremely cold places in the north and bloodbathed several small tribes.
He did not let the beast tide and mad people stay in the tribe, so Ye Qiong's estimation is that there are most likely survivors in those tribes, and these survivors have become Ye Qiong's current mission targets.
If no one takes care of them, it will most likely be difficult to survive this cold winter.
This time, the Thunder Madman King caused too much damage to the tribe, mainly in terms of combat strength, so Ye Qiong still had to think of some way to restore the tribe's combat strength as soon as possible, and at the same time, he had to be careful to watch out for those with more strength outside. tribe.
As for the beast tide and madmen...
It is estimated that it will not appear again in a short period of time. Considering the current geographical location of the central tribe, only in the northwest is the possibility of a beast tide appearing.
The south is the dense forest of forest apes, and the east is the Dinglong Mountains. The threat of the eyeless monsters is long-term and chronic, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being.
In the dangerous north and west, the monsters over there were probably killed a lot by the Madman King and the King Scavenger Beast this time.
Therefore, a large-scale beast tide cannot gather in a short period of time.
After preparing for a day, Ye Qiong rode Daidu, brought enough supplies and food, and headed directly to the northwest.
I jogged all the way, and after about an hour, I arrived at the canyon.
In this direction, Ye Qiong was following the footprints left by the beast tide. Standing on the canyon and looking across, you can see a very spectacular sight, which is the footprints left by the beast tide.
From these footprints, it can be seen how huge the scale of this beast tide is. Compared with the beast tides that Ye Qiong tribe has experienced in the past, it is not at the same level. Thousands of monsters passed through in a mighty manner. Passing through the canyon, this scene is more spectacular than the large-scale migration of wild animals on the earth.
After all, in terms of size, a single high-level monster is huge enough.
On the ground, in addition to footprints, there are also some feces. At the end of winter when food is very scarce, scavengers will dig these things out and eat them. As an organic matter, even the feces excreted by monsters are not good for food. For rotten beasts, it can also be life-saving food.
Completely frozen feces will probably taste lighter.
He rode Daidai directly through the canyon and continued to move forward in the direction of the beast tide's footprints. At night, Ye Qiong rode Daidai to an unfamiliar area.
While moving forward, Ye Qiong was also paying attention to whether there were any bifurcated footprints on the ice. When he was at the alpine base, Ye Qiong deliberately observed the shape of the ice pine lizard's soles, also in order to prevent Just in case, rule out the possibility of a large human team here.
Dusk two days later!
The star is already hanging on the top of the mountain, like a huge naan, exuding its last remaining heat of the day.
After climbing over a large slope, Ye Qiong finally saw the first human tribe he encountered on this trip.
The scene in front of him seemed familiar. When he took Huang Ling out of the jute tribe, the scene he saw was similar to today, but the scene now was more uncomfortable.
This is a tribe that seems to have a size of about a thousand people. There are no human beings in it. The ice walls, snow caves and some stone and wood buildings have all become ruins.
One can imagine how much of a defensive role those ice walls and buildings can play under the impact of monsters that are more than four or even five meters high.
When the beast tide strikes, you may be able to temporarily avoid the first wave of monsters by hiding in the cave. However, with limited digging power, the depth of the cave that a small tribe can dig in autumn is limited. In the eyes of some monsters who are good at digging holes, they are nothing. It won't be long before they can directly throw out the humans hiding inside.
It is very difficult to survive the attack of the beast tide. The short summer makes it impossible for the small migrating tribes to build adequate defenses.
Riding Daidai, he rushed down from the high slope and wandered around the tribe for two times. He still didn't see any sign of human existence. Ye Qiong shouted loudly for a while, but there was still no movement.
According to preliminary judgment, there are no survivors in this tribe.
There is still some bloody smell in the air, attracting some scavenging beasts around, so if you continue to search in the tribe now, you may not even be able to find a human finger. The beast tide has been cleaned up. If the tribe is visited by scavengers again, no scraps will be left.
To the northeast of the tribe, there is a string of footprints of the Snowy Demonic Wolf. It seems that the tribesmen relied on the Snowy Demonic Wolf to escape. The number is not large, probably a few dozen. Compared with the tribe's population base of a thousand people, it is small. It's pitiful, but it's also the only hope for survivors.
Ye Qiong immediately rode on Daidai and chased after the footprints of those snowy demon wolves...
