Original War

Chapter 656

Originally, Gu Wu also wanted to send a few people familiar with the Jing tribe to lead Shao Xuan and the others, but the Gu tribe just had a hard time. All the houses and buildings in the tribe collapsed and needed to be rebuilt. The amount of work was large, and the dead and injured as well as their families. When resettlement is needed, I can only write a cloth roll to Shao Xuan.

After Shao Xuan and the others left the Gu tribe, Gu Wu thought for a while and asked the sub-tribe to bring a letter to the Jing tribe. People of the sub-tribe will not encounter fierce beasts when walking in the underground caves. It is faster and more convenient, and may be able to reach the Jing tribe in front of the Yanhorn people.

There are sub-tribes who ease in the middle, and those from the Jing tribe will have a better attitude towards Yanjiao.

However, what Gu Witch did not expect was that the speed of Shao Xuan and the others was one step faster than the people of the tribe.

People from the sub-tribes go to the Jing tribe. Although they don’t need to climb over the mountains and ridges, it’s not suitable for digging holes in any place underground, especially in areas close to the river. Sometimes they have to take a long way around and have to rest. .

When Shao Xuan and the others were sailing, apart from planting monuments on the shore, they never stopped. They also sailed day and night.

Since the behemoth was killed, the river section near the Gu tribe has also calmed down a lot. Smaller fishes have begun to be active around, and no other large, aggressive river beasts have been seen. The big fish that Silk Network encountered before may have been driven by giant beasts.

Continuing down the Yanhe River, the topography on the bank of the river does not change significantly. It is similar to the place where the Gu tribe is located, but compared to the area of ​​the upstream tribe, the woods are much denser.

Shao Xuan sat cross-legged in the cabin, placing the sword horizontally on his lap. There was a blood mark on the sword body. Shao Xuan wiped it off with own blood. He recalled how he ignited the rope net when he was in the Gu tribe. Try to see if you can also use this method of using blood to ignite fire with swords, but unfortunately, it has not been successful. I always feel that something is missing, but I can’t figure out what it is for a while.

“Someone!” the people outside cried.

Shao Xuan also just noticed the fire from the Jing tribe, temporarily put down the sword and walked out of the cabin.

“Already here.”

The Jing Tribe is also on the bank of the Yan River. The distance from the river bank is not too close, but it is not too far away. It is closer to the river bank than the Gu tribe.

Gu Wu once told Shao Xuan that the people of the Jing tribe had migrated later, and they didn’t know where they were before. Since the disaster of heaven and earth thousands of years ago, the Jing tribe has moved here.

Someone in the woods was watching here, and there were some sharp bird calls. Shao Xuan and others knew that they were not really bird calls, but signals from people hiding in the woods.

As the two boats slowly approached the shore, the people in the woods retreated away from the river bank, but they still hid in the woods, staring at the two docking ships vigilantly. They have never seen a ship, and they are more defensive against unfamiliar outsiders.

The place where the boat docked can clearly see a piece of land created artificially. There are no tall trees. Except for some artificially laid low stakes, it is grass. Even the weeds are not as high as the woods.

Those low wooden stakes should be used to tie up rafts and the like. There are traces of rope strangling on them. The recessed parts of the grass are obviously stepped on by people, so the grass will change from upright to crooked and often stepped on. The grass is not high.

Going ashore from here, Shao Xuan raised his eyes to look at the woods ahead.

From the river bank to the woods, a path was opened, only two or three meters wide, but in the dense woods, this path is very conspicuous.

Gu Wu once said that people from the Jing tribe would use the Gu tribe’s nets to fish in the river. I think it was this way to travel between the tribe and the river.

Shao Xuan took some people to the front, and did not go deep into the woods, but stood still.

“Are you from the Jing tribe? We are from the Yanjiao tribe. If you have something to discuss, please inform the Jing tribe witch.”

There must be other traps in the woods. Although Shao Xuan is not afraid of those, it is better to have fewer unnecessary troubles. What’s more, he has to look for “eyes” from the Jing tribe, and he still has to give people a good first. impression.

After Shao Xuan yelled out, the forest was quiet for a while, and then there were a few “birds”, and there was a whistling sound not far away. It should be someone who left to report the letter.

Shao Xuan was not in a hurry, so he found a stone in the nearby woods and sat and waited. Others looked around to distinguish the difference between the plants in this area and the upper reaches of the Yan River.

After about twenty minutes, there were footsteps in the distance, and some people were talking in low voices.

There were a lot of people who came over, no less than two hundred people, which happened to be about the same as the number of people on board Shao Xuan and his crew.

The crowd got closer and closer, and the trails opened up were too narrow. Some people walked directly in the woods, and the clicking sound of the branches being trampled became clearer and clearer.

Soon, some figures appeared in the woods.

The sun is shining in the woods, because only part of the trail is blocked by the branches above, and the woods on both sides of the trail have even less sunlight. Therefore, when you look at it, you can see the most clearly, that is, walking on the trail. People.

In the front are three strong fighters, perhaps because they are often exposed to the sun, they look darker. The people of the Ku tribe have been tanned, and the people of the Jing tribe are even darker than those of the Ku tribe. But, on the other hand, the paintings on their bodies are painted in bright colors, white, red, blue, yellow, and green. ,and many more.

The three crystal tribe warriors in the front hold weapons made of horns or stone tools in one hand, and a circular shield in the other hand to block the chest, covering the entire torso, only revealing the legs and nose. For the part, the black-and-white eyes are filled with unconcealable tension, and probably they can also see that the people in Yanjiao are not easy to deal with. Facing strange and powerful outsiders, it’s strange to be unprepared.

Shields are made of wood or rattan. After all, they don’t have the strength of the Yanhorn people. Shields made of stone tools or horns are indeed more solid, but they are too heavy for people who do not have the advantage of strength. In other words, a shield that is too heavy will not only fail to play its own role, but will also become a burden in battle.

Taking a look at the equipment of the Jing tribesmen, Shao Xuan had a general position for them in his heart. He looked over the three fighters and looked at the person behind them.

There was a thin middle-aged man with a look like a knife. When he looked at Shao Xuan, his gaze was like a sharp blade shooting out of his eyes, which made people startled. In addition, the middle-aged man walked with the majestic aura of being a leader all the year round, clearly distinguishing him from the others.

Crystal tribe witch?

Shao Xuan thought of what Wu Wu had said, and looked at the middle-aged man’s eyebrows.

There was no third eye as Wu Wu said, but there was a vertical line between the man’s eyebrows.

It should be him. Shao Xuan secretly said.

The three people in front tightly guarded the middle-aged man behind him, and when they were about 20 meters away from Shao Xuan and the others, they no longer approached. Not only them, but the other people from the Jing Tribe who followed were also nervous, alert and uneasy.

The middle-aged man raised his hand and gently dialed the three warriors in front of him. After hesitating, the three warriors stepped aside, but still fixed their eyes on Shao Xuan and the others. , They immediately pulled the middle-aged man back.

The weather in this season is already very hot. The lower reaches of the Yanhe River seems to be hotter than the upper reaches. Because of this, some tribal people that Shao Xuan and the others encountered during the boat trip had very little wear on their bodies, and most of their skin was exposed to the sun. Down. The people of the Gu tribe also wear linen cloth with some rope and net decorations. The people of the Jing Tribe are not that complicated. Many of the warriors who come here are basically naked, with only their waists and feet covered and protected.

The brightly colored paintings on their bodies can be seen more clearly as the distance between the two sides gets closer.

If you paint other things, forget it, the people of the Jing tribe all have eyes painted on their bodies!

People from the tribes like moiré patterns, those from the gu tribe like reticulation patterns, while those from the crystal tribe like “eye” patterns. The totem of their tribe looked like three pricked eyes. The patterns painted on the body of the totem warriors of the Jing tribe are mostly eye patterns, but their painting skills are quite good, the color shades are also quite layered, and it looks like they have countless eyes on their bodies, bright and bright. The color and lustre of the tanned skin against the background, more prominent the existence of those “eyes”.

People with dense phobias may feel nauseated and nervous when they see the people in the Jing tribe, and they cannot look directly at them.

They wear less, but they wear a lot of accessories.

The ears hanging on the ears, the necks, the wrists, waists, and the chains tied to the feet, etc., are all jewelry made of earth-eye stones. Together with the eyes painted on their bodies, it makes people look at them. Looking over, it was like being stared at by countless eyes, panicking in my heart.

“Are you Yanjiao people?” the middle-aged man who walked out asked.

“Not bad.” Shao Xuan could hear that the people of the Jing Tribe should have heard of the “Yanjiao Tribe”, but I don’t know which version they have heard of. Look at their nervous look, and then think about them and the Jin tribe. The version that the crystal tribe knows about will definitely not be the true version. Perhaps there are also sub-tribes who have myopic eyes on the Eight Trigrams.

“What’s the matter with you?” the man asked again.

“We just came from the Jin tribe, and there is something we want to ask.” Shao Xuan took out the roll of cloth that Jin Wu gave him and threw it over.

The man caught the cloth roll and glanced at Shao Xuan suspiciously. He stayed on the cloth roll for two more seconds before opening it. It is probably to check if there are other bad things on the cloth roll, such as poison and other traps.

However, after seeing what was written on the cloth scroll, the man’s tense expression eased slightly, “Zheng wrote?”

Gu Wu’s name is “Zhen”, so after Jing Wu said the name, Shao Xuan nodded.

Gu Wu had already written the general situation on the roll of cloth. After the man saw it, he raised his hand to prevent the people behind him from being overly nervous, and turned to Shao Xuan and said, “Please.”

This is the meaning of agreeing to Shao Xuan entering the Jing tribe to discuss in detail.

Shao Xuan still took only half of the people over, leaving half of them to guard the boat.
