The first team that arrived at the whistling place didn't go there, because there were many carnivorous birds eating there. Roughly estimated, there were at least twenty birds.
The air was filled with the smell of blood.
Looking at the fierce appearance of those big birds fighting for food, they knew it was not easy to deal with them.
The leader made a gesture to signal everyone to retreat carefully. They thought they had found the people the Shaman and the chief talked about, but they didn't expect to see a flock of carnivorous birds.
However, they ignored the Wan Shi beasts.
The Wan Shi beasts were the ferocious beasts that were carefully selected. Most of the time, they would bite their enemies even if they couldn't defeat them. They were different from the animals that had been successfully branded and tamed. They were not very obedient, and they didn't cooperate well with the people of the Wan Shi tribe. When they were wild, no one could control them.
Noticing that there were many carnivorous birds in front of them, the four Wan Shi beasts that came over all growled. They pulled the straw ropes and wanted to rush over.
As soon as the Wan Shi beasts roared, the people in the team knew they were in trouble. At this time, they wanted to poke several holes in the Wan Shi beasts with their stone knives. But even if they were angry, it didn't help.
The carnivorous birds that couldn't get food over there had noticed the people hiding here. They shouted excitedly and rushed to the people hiding behind the bushes.
When one of them moved, the others also rushed over, and then more carnivorous birds followed.
The leader couldn't help cursing. He didn't care about hiding anymore.
"Retreat!"
The plants here were mainly bushes and weeds. Whether it was the bushes or the surrounding weeds, they were all more than two meters tall and grew densely. Even if he wanted to guard his feet before, when he was chased by the group of carnivorous birds, he didn't have much energy to pay attention to it when he started to speed up.
"Ah!"
A man's foot was entangled by something. He fell down and felt a pain in his foot. When he saw clearly what was on his foot, he cut off the vine that entangled his foot. When he started to run again, he slowed down a lot. Soon, he was surrounded by the carnivorous birds that rushed over quickly.
Some people brandished their swords at the carnivorous birds, but not only did they fail to chase the birds away, but they also provoked the birds' bloodlust, and they chased and pecked even more fiercely.
There was more than one person who had stepped on the traps in the bushes. Here, one would not be tied up and hung from the trees. The simple traps made of vines that were similar in color to the weeds would only cause those who were trying to escape to stumble. The poison on the vines was not fatal, but at this time, it was almost like a death sentence.
Some were slapped to the ground by its claws, some were sent flying by its head, and some were killed by its beak.
No matter how fierce the four Wan Shi beasts were, they couldn't withstand the attack of the birds. Seeing the Wan Shi beasts break into their territory, the birds were angry. They were as fierce as the Wan Shi beasts bred by the Wan Shi tribe.
For a moment, the sounds of people shouting, birds chirping, and beasts roaring continuously rang out.
Ever since the previous squad, this squad had also tasted the tragedy of losing a third of their members in a short period of time.
"Climb the tree!!"
"Find a tall tree and climb up!!"
Out of the weeds, they saw the woods in front of them. Everyone was happy. As long as they climbed up the tall trees, these birds that could not fly would not be able to do anything to them.
When a warrior was about to climb up, his hand had already grasped the branch, but a wooden thorn shot out from nowhere and pierced his hand. The numbness and pain in his hand made him lose his grip and fall down. Then he was trampled on the ground by the carnivorous birds that chased after him.
"There are people around!"
"Be alert!" The leader's eyes flashed and he glanced at the surrounding woods.
A man who had climbed up the tree was pierced by a wooden thorn in his leg. He quickly pulled it out and felt a numbness and pain in his leg. Fortunately, he was now in the tree and did not fall down. Just when he was thinking about this, he caught a glimpse of a figure flashing by.
"Be careful!!"
The leader reminded him. Unfortunately, he was still a step too late. By the time he rushed over, that person had already been stabbed and was no longer breathing.
There were already seven carnivorous birds below. They still had more than ten people. They did have the advantage in numbers. If they really fought, they might not lose. But now, no one wanted to fight with these birds. Moreover, there were other people hiding around, ready to kill at any time.
The leader made a prompt decision. "Go from the tree!"
The trees were not too far apart. With their ability, jumping from tree to tree was still possible.
"Be careful, there might be …" Before the leader could finish his words, he heard a slight buzzing sound, like the sound of a thin thread being flicked.
When someone jumped from the tree, he touched a thin thread that was not easy to notice.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Wooden thorns that were half an arm's length shot out from the leaves and grass towards the people who were jumping between the trees.
They had to use their swords to block the wooden thorns. If someone was not careful and got stabbed, he would be targeted by the carnivorous birds after falling down.
After dodging the wooden thorns with great difficulty, just as he steadied himself on a branch, he was stabbed by someone who quietly approached him.
This …
The leader of the group widened his eyes, his eyes filled with shock. He saw Shao Xuan's appearance, but he couldn't recognize which tribe the totem patterns on Shao Xuan's body belonged to. But he could see that Shao Xuan was very young.
"Which tribe are you from?!" The leader's back was covered with a layer of cold sweat. Such a young and powerful person couldn't be from a small tribe.
Just like the leader of the previous team, the leader's first thought was the Eight Limbs tribe. But the totem patterns of the Eight Limbs tribe were not like this!
Who on earth was he?!
While the leader was still in shock, Shao Xuan bent his right knee slightly, and the soles of his feet stomped on the branches. Like a fierce tiger coming down from the mountain, he quickly rushed towards the leader. The stone knife was like lightning in the air, as if it could tear anything apart.
Facing Shao Xuan's beast-like eyes, which were full of killing intent, the leader suppressed his shock and raised his arm holding the sword to block it.
Bang!
The leader felt a burning pain from his palm holding the sword, and the force from the sword shook his whole arm as if it was going to break. And because of the sudden force, in order to stabilize himself, he exerted force under his feet. The branch couldn't bear it and broke with a crack.
What a strong force!
Which tribe on earth had such great strength, which was not weaker than the Wan Shi tribe at all?! Moreover, was there only one person hiding around, or were there many people?
The leader was more inclined to believe the latter. After all, no matter how strong a person was, the person in front of him was so young, so he shouldn't be able to kill the twenty people of the previous team.
If there were many people hiding around, plus the ferocious beasts in the forest that could appear at any time …
The more he thought, the more the leader of the second team showed fear in his eyes.
No, he had to go back first!
After falling to the ground because of the broken branch, he saw the carnivorous birds rushing over again. Ignoring the others who didn't follow him, the leader shouted and turned around to run away. In that direction, the other team should be coming over as well. They just wanted to get away from here as soon as possible. Someone whistled, hoping that the other teams would come to help.
After the strike, Shao Xuan didn't continue to chase them. Instead, he jumped into the forest and soon disappeared.
The leader and several soldiers who were still alive ran for a while and didn't hear the birds again, so they slowed down a little.
But it was too early for them to be relieved.
A roar suddenly sounded, and a figure nearly four meters high rushed out from behind the forest. The people who thought they had just escaped a disaster felt as if they were thrown into a cold river in winter, chilling them to the bone.
Ferocious beasts again!
The bear waved its huge paw and gave these people a surprise attack. The soldier closest to it was directly sent flying, spitting out blood as he flew.
It followed the delicious honey and came here. It heard the sounds of the big birds and also heard the voices of the people. It always thought that this area was its territory. Those birds were not a big deal, but these people of the Wan Shi tribe were completely strange to it, and it regarded them as intruders.
Of course, it was angry that its territory was invaded. So, after hearing the noise and smelling the smell, it ambushed here. When the prey came to its door, it rushed out.
As one of the ferocious beasts that could play dead and use tricks, the Yanjiao tribesmen were always afraid of the giant bear's lethality. When hunting, they mostly avoided the giant bear's place and only occasionally hunted one.
For the people of the Wan Shi tribe who didn't often fight with ferocious beasts, it was a nightmare.
After slapping away one person and biting two to death, it was cut several times on its body, which made it even angrier.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three spears were shot at the bear.
It was the third team.
The bear dodged one spear, but two spears were stuck in its body, but it wasn't seriously injured. If it hadn't dodged in time, its vital parts would have been hurt.
Roaring, it didn't attack those people. Instead, it turned around and ran away. If it couldn't beat them, it had to run away!
Four Wan Shi beasts were chasing it. While dodging the spears and arrows shot by the warriors of the Wan Shi tribe, it also had to deal with the four Wan Shi beasts, so it got more and more injuries. The spears and arrows were poisoned, but because of its strong resistance to poison, it could resist for a while, but it was hard to say whether it would survive for a long time.
"Let's kill it." A warrior of the Wan Shi tribe said.
Even if they didn't find the person mentioned by the Shaman and the chief, they could bring back a ferocious beast, which could at least reduce the chief's anger.
"Kill!" The leader of the third team finally said. They didn't dare to provoke the ferocious beasts in the forest, but now this ferocious beast was injured and they met it. No matter what happened to the people of the other two teams, this ferocious beast must be theirs!
"Kill!!"
Seeing that the bear still wanted to run away, the warriors of the Wan Shi tribe hurried to catch up with it. It was rare to meet such an injured ferocious beast, so they had to kill it!
More than twenty people rushed over, plus several warriors of the second team who were still alive, all chased after the bear. They thought that they would kill the bear first, and then find the person hiding in the forest.
Shao Xuan stood on a tree, using the dense branches to hide his figure, watching those people chasing the bear. He looked at the sky and counted the time in his heart.
After a few breaths, Shao Xuan looked in the direction of those people.
A roar that was different from the previous bear's roar almost shook the entire forest.
The reason why the ferocious beast was called a giant bear was that it was not only three or four meters long. This was just a baby bear. Generally speaking, such a baby bear was likely to be guarded by a mother bear. Shao Xuan had found a bigger bear paw print in a place before.
That kind of giant bear was not only smart, but also vengeful. When it was really angry, it would hysterically chase and kill.
