With the food brought back by Shao Xuan from the Lu tribe, the tribe was in a much better condition.
Apart from sleeping and resting, the tribe was always on the road.
The tribes who saw this team, as well as the travelers, were very curious about the Yanjiao tribe.
It was not that there had never been such a large-scale migration, but many people had never seen such a powerful tribe. The Yanjiao tribe's name gradually spread through the traveling team.
In the middle of the team, the Shaman was in the carriage.
The Shaman sat by the small fire pit, counting the days in his mind.
The fire in the fire pit was much bigger than before, and it was still jumping happily. However, if you looked carefully, you would find that there seemed to be a faint barrier around the fire pit.
The Shaman had specially made this barrier. According to the animal skin scroll left by the ancestors, if the fire seed was not dealt with by other tribes, there would be a competition between the fire seeds, and the loser would be suppressed temporarily. This was a situation that no tribe wanted to see, because it would affect the tribe's morale. The Yanjiao tribe did not want to attract hatred as soon as they came out.
This was also why, except for the travelers of the Yanjiao tribe, few people could feel the fire seed here. And those who guessed that there was a fire seed here and had evil intentions were all defeated by the Yanjiao warriors in the most direct and violent way.
On the way from the Drumming tribe, the team took in more than two hundred travelers from the tribe, both on the water and on the land. There were also some travelers from other tribes. Shao Xuan counted the number of travelers, and now there were almost two hundred people.
Seeing that the destination was getting closer and closer, the team began to become restless.
The restless ones were not the original group of people of the Flaming Horns tribe, but the wanderers of the tribe and other tribes who joined later.
These days, these travelers all knew the destination of the Yanjiao tribe. As soon as they heard that it was the Ferocious Beasts Mountain Forest, some people began to be afraid.
Especially in the past few days, the Yanjiao warriors who were guarding the wanderers would always talk about the ferocious beasts. They talked about who had been eaten by the beasts, who had almost been bitten to death by the beasts, and so on. The injured warriors would also talk about the dangerous situation they had been in when they encountered the beasts.
The warriors of the Yanjiao tribe could talk about ferocious beasts for hundreds of days without repeating themselves. After all, they had been in contact with ferocious beasts since they were very young.
Originally, the topic of ferocious beasts made these wanderers worried. Listening to it was like listening to a scary ghost story. Every day, different people talked about the same topic. It was impossible to pretend that they didn't hear it. Therefore, they had more and more thoughts in their minds.
That night, the team stayed at the foot of a mountain for the night.
He Er was sleeping in a daze when he heard the person next to him wake him up in a low voice.
"What? Are you under attack? "He Er woke up with a start. There was nothing he could do about it. This was the wilderness, and he had heard too many stories about ferocious beasts recently. The first thing that came to his mind when he was woken up was a ferocious beast.
He Er was about to say something, but his mouth was covered by someone.
The person who woke him up was someone who had a good relationship with him in the Longboat tribe. They were very familiar with Yan Zhi and the others.
"Look over there!" The person who woke He Er up said in a low voice.
The fire around them had almost burned out. The flame was much smaller. Only those who were close to the fire could see it clearly. A little farther away, there was only a vague shadow.
He Er and the others were a little far from the fire, but they could see the figures over there.
Several figures got up from the ground, carrying animal skin bags and a few belongings. They tiptoed out of the crowd.
There were also hunting warriors around. When they noticed these people, they asked, "What are you doing?"
Those people were scared when they were called, but they still answered in a trembling voice, "I drank too much water. I want to relieve myself."
The warrior who was on night watch yawned and said carelessly, "Come back quickly. Don't go far!"
"Hey! I'll come back when I'm done. I won't go far! "Those wanderers hurriedly promised.
After those people left, He Er was about to talk to his companions who had woken up, but he saw several people get up and leave with the excuse that they had diarrhea. The warrior who was on night watch just muttered, "So troublesome." Then he said no more.
"What should we do? He Er, shall we also leave? "The person next to him asked.
Those who left decided to leave because they had heard a lot about the Ferocious Beasts and knew that the destination of the Yanjiao tribe was the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest.
Compared with the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest, they were more willing to go to other tribes.
Some wanderers had always wanted to change places because of great oppression in their original living places. This time, they came to the Yanjiao tribe. They thought that they would have a better life, but they did not expect that they would face a more severe situation. Fortunately, they had seen a lot of good places along the way in the Yanjiao tribe. The living conditions of several tribes were in line with their standards and within their plans.
The wanderers did not understand the Yanjiao tribe. They thought that going to the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest was a suicidal act. A tribe with such great potential like yours would definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in a safe place. Compared to some of the smaller tribes in the central region, your tribe would not be worse. Although you have fewer people, in ten or twenty years, your population would probably double. Why would you want to seek your own death?
Even if there were a few Ferocious Beasts in the team, so what? It was the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest. There were more than millions of Ferocious Beasts there. Even the big tribes in the central region were not willing to go there!
They just wanted to live a better life, not die with the Yanjiao tribe!
Two days ago, some people left, but not many. Tonight, maybe everyone realized that they would soon arrive at the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest. This might be their last chance to leave. If the Yanjiao people found that too many people left tomorrow, would they be angry?
"He Er, what do you think? Should we leave too? Tonight may be our last chance. If we miss this chance, we won't be able to escape when we enter the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest. "Someone asked He Er.
Didn't the Yanjiao tribe say that they could not hunt many beasts along the way? Even many large beasts in the forest were scared away by the Yanjiao tribe's beasts. The rest of the beasts were eaten by the Yanjiao warriors. Those beasts had been cleaned up. At least, they would not go back in a short time. Therefore, as long as they followed the path of the Yanjiao tribe, they would be less likely to encounter those dangerous beasts.
If they went back now, they would be safe!
In the past two days, some of them had specially collected the feces of the ferocious beasts so that they could use the feces of the ferocious beasts to intimidate the ferocious beasts in the forest. Only then would they be safer.
Seeing He Er did not answer, the man poked He Er, "Are you going or not?"
He Er gritted his teeth and lay down again. He whispered, "No! I don't want to go back! And I believe in Yanzhi and the others. "
The surrounding people were silent, and then they lay down one by one. Forget it, let's bet!
After making the decision, they lay down again. But they could not fall asleep. Listening to the sounds of those beasts leaving, they opened their eyes wide in a daze.
In the dark night, where the firelight could not reach, and where the moonlight was blocked, the night watchmen leaned against the trees. They looked at those who were running away from the team with a sneer, but did not stop them.
The next day, the team continued their journey. The wanderers had decreased by nearly one third. It was obvious at a glance. However, the Yanjiao tribe did not seem to know, and did not mention it. Strangely, no one told the wanderers the story of the ferocious beasts.
Some clever wanderers realized that this was a test by the Yanjiao tribe.
When Yan Zhi and the others saw He Er and the others, their tense faces relaxed. Fortunately, they were still there.
It was the Shaman's idea to test the wanderers. He had arranged it in advance, and no one dared to say anything. Even Yan Zhi and the others could only worry in their hearts when they saw the restless wanderers.
Shao Xuan took a piece of animal skin full of words and got on the Shaman's carriage.
"More than seventy wanderers left, six of them are Yanjiao wanderers." Shao Xuan handed the animal skin roll to the Shaman and said.
The wanderers of other tribes were not so bad, but the warriors of the Yanjiao tribe treated them very well. Although they did not completely trust them, they helped them a lot. Two days ago, when they were short of food, some warriors even saved their own food for them.
However, some of these wanderers still left. Fortunately, there were not many of them.
After the shaman took the animal skin scroll, he didn't read it. Instead, he closed his eyes. There was no disappointment or sadness on his face. However, those who were familiar with the shaman knew that he was the most terrifying when he was expressionless. Even if the two team leaders were here, they would tremble in fear.
Shao Xuan did not interrupt the Shaman's silence, and quietly waited for him to make a decision.
After a long while, the Shaman opened his eyes and said, "If you leave, don't come back." Although his words were gentle, there was an irrefutable murderous aura in them.
Shao Xuan had already expected the Shaman's answer, so he nodded, "I know."
He wrote down the names of those who left and those who stayed.
There was only one chance, and the trust of the Yanjiao Shaman would only come once.
The people who followed him all thought that in the Yanjiao tribe, the Chief was in charge. This was the management style of many tribes, and they thought that the Shaman was just an assistant in management. However, those who had lived in the Yanjiao tribe since childhood knew that the Shaman had an absolute position in the tribe.
Since the Shaman had made such a decision, no matter Chief Ao or others, they would not have any objection.
After getting out of the carriage, Shao Xuan looked at the sky.
"The weather is not very good."
After leaving the Shaman, Shao Xuan went to another carriage, in which sat the women who could not move or had not awakened their totemic power. Even if they could not move, they were not idle in the carriage. They had brought some tools, and some animal skins that the warriors had obtained after hunting. They were here to sew and mend, and to make some leather boots.
Putting down the animal skins and a few rolls of twine, Shao Xuan said to them, "Please make some long leather boots. Children also need them."
Although they did not understand why, they did not ask. They just followed Shao Xuan's instructions.
