It could be said that the night they stayed at the Flaming Horns tribe was the quietest night the people of the Feng tribe had ever spent. On this night, they didn't hear the cries of various nocturnal beasts from afar, nor did they hear the whistles of the patrols to inform each other of the emergency situation. They also didn't encounter any other abnormal things. Even the strange insects that they had been guarding against all this time didn't appear.
The next day, Yang Guang was bright and beautiful.
Every family got up early and the first thing they did was to count the livestock in their animal pens.
"How is it?"
"Not a single one is missing!" A woman of the Feng tribe said happily to her husband after counting the livestock.
The neighbors were also exchanging information to see who was unlucky enough to lose their livestock. However, after exchanging information for a whole morning, they found that no one had lost their livestock. A man who complained that he had lost his sheep had to count twice to make sure that they were all there because he had counted wrongly.
This was the first time in a long time that no livestock had been lost.
Listening to the information collected by his subordinates, Yi Bei nodded, "It seems that those insects were the ones who stole the livestock."
"It could be something else, but they were scared away last night." Someone whispered.
The howling of the wolves last night was heard by everyone, whether they were sleeping at home or patrolling on the grassland. The patrols even saw with their own eyes that the beasts heard the howling and ran away.
For a moment, the people of the Feng tribe envied the Yanjiao tribe in their hearts. How good it was to have such a wolf guarding them. Other livestock thieves didn't dare to come close.
The people of the Yanjiao tribe stayed in the Feng tribe for two days before leaving, mainly to take care of the wanderers. After two days of treatment, the seriously injured were finally out of danger. Shao Xuan also took the opportunity to take some warriors to the mountains to chop some wood. When they came back, they made a simple carriage. Because there were limited materials and most of the tribe's skilled workers were not here, Shao Xuan basically finished it alone. The carriage he made was not as big as the one they had when they first returned to the old haunt. There was no roof, only a simple frame, and a straw mat woven by a wanderer to shelter Yang Guang.
Because the wood was not very good and not very strong, it was okay to make do with it. As for pulling the carriage, this time he did not let Caesar pull it. Shao Xuan picked two adult horses to pull the carriage. Let the wounded who can't move get into the carriages.
The wanderers were in a good mood. After two days of rest, they were in a much better state of mind. In addition, they had the totem warriors of the Yanjiao tribe with them this time. They felt relaxed and happy.
When Ah Nai's family left, Gua Er gave him a pony. Although Doya and other children of the same age who knew him didn't play together, they all went to see him off.
"When we meet again in the future, we will all be totem warriors, right?" Gua Er looked at the people leaving and said.
"Hey, where did Ah Nai say their tribe was? If we go out in the future, we'll go and see him, "said one of the children. Although he said that, his eyes were fixed on Caesar.
Speaking of this, Gua Er was very entangled, "My father said that they are in the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest."
The other children: "…"
Even if they were far away, they also knew where the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest was.
After saying goodbye to the patrol of the Feng tribe, the Yanjiao people left with the wanderers and did not continue to go deep into the grassland. Although they were also very curious and wanted to see what other tribes on the grassland looked like, the task was more important. This time they mainly came to pick up the wanderers, not to wander around. When there was a chance in the future, they would go out for a long journey.
After leaving the Feng tribe, they were almost out of the grassland. Shao Xuan still didn't see Chacha's figure.
Looking at the sky, Shao Xuan was puzzled. Why didn't Chacha come back?
When they came to the Feng tribe two days ago, Chacha ran out to play alone and didn't follow them into the Feng tribe. Shao Xuan didn't care about it. He only told it not to go to other tribes to pick up livestock, or it would be shot by bows and arrows.
At first, Shao Xuan didn't worry about it, but he didn't see it for two days. In the past, when Chacha left him to play, it would come back every day to report. Now it disappeared directly. Everyone was planning to leave, but it didn't appear.
Could it be that it ran to the other side of the mountain to watch the tribal war and forgot to come back?
Fortunately, before leaving the grassland, Chacha finally came back.
Compared with when it came, Chacha looked quite embarrassed. There were many wounds, and a lot of hair on its body had fallen off. Fortunately, it could fly back and its life was not in danger.
Shao Xuan looked carefully. On Chacha's body, some were scratched by sharp claws, some were pecked, and some were pulled out. However, although it was injured, it seemed to be very excited.
"Who did it fight with?" Lang Ga asked.
"It should be. It's probably a bird about the same size as it, or maybe it's the same species." Shao Xuan took a feather from Chacha's bloody claws. This was Chacha's trophy. When it flew back, it was still holding it in its claws. As for the blood on its claws, it was obvious that it wasn't its own.
Chacha had several feathers in its claws. Looking at the size and color of the feathers, they were almost exactly the same as the ones on Chacha's body. If it wasn't for his understanding of Chacha, Shao Xuan might have even mistakenly thought that the feathers were plucked from Chacha's body.
"Look at this jubilant mood. Did you win?" Lang Ga clicked his tongue.
"Caw!" Chacha responded, flapping its wings proudly.
Unlike Caesar's closeness to the Yanjiao tribesmen, Chacha had always been more distant to other people, not to mention that there were many strangers in the team this time. After Shao Xuan applied medicine to it, it flew back to the sky and followed the team. This time, it didn't run around randomly.
Shao Xuan helped to collect the feathers as trophies. When they returned, he would let Old Ke keep them. Every time Chacha brought back trophies, Old Ke would always keep some for it.
The wanderers were very curious about the two ferocious beasts in the team. However, Caesar and the others didn't dare to approach, and Chacha in the sky was too far away, so they could only glance at them. They didn't expect that there would be ferocious beasts in the Yanjiao tribe. A tribe with ferocious beasts should be considered strong, right?
After leaving the grassland, the team didn't go back directly, but went to another place. There, Kun Tu and other team leaders who were responsible for gathering people on the grassland agreed that they would meet there after leaving the grassland.
The grassland was very large, and there was more than one way out. It might be the shortest way for Kun Tu and the others, but it might not be the same for other people on the grassland. Therefore, they split up.
"There's a market there, and many travelers will pass by there. However, the place we agreed on is not at the market, but on a mountain. It's just close to the market. We'll use the whistle to contact each other." Kun Tu told Mai about their arrangement.
In order to return to the old haunt and the tribe, they had paid a lot. The wanderers had always been a weak group. Even if they contacted each other, some people would die because of it.
After two days of getting along, Mai had a preliminary understanding of Kun Tu. He was a witty and calm person. No wonder Old He and the others came to him for help. If he wasn't there, the wanderers in this direction on the grassland might not be able to come here safely.
Although there were many untrustworthy people among the wanderers, most of them were loyal. Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken such a big risk. Even when they heard that the tribe was in the Ferocious Beasts Mountain Forest, they didn't retreat.
After leaving the grassland, it took them another day to reach the market Kun Tu talked about. Because there were wanderers and livestock in the team, their speed was much slower. If they were only totem warriors, it would take them less than half a day to get there, but it was different with wanderers.
The market was also a favorite place for many travelers who passed by the grassland. Some travelers of the grassland tribes would rest there before entering or leaving the grassland.
Kun Tu was not sure where the other wanderers were. He had never left the grassland, and all he knew was the information he exchanged with food and other people. Then, he discussed with the other team leaders and finalized the information. When he arrived here, he was still in the dark. Even if he looked at the map, it was difficult to pinpoint the exact location, not to mention that they didn't have a map at that time.
Kun Tu blew the wooden whistle according to the rhythm as agreed, but there was no response.
"Haven't they come yet?" Someone said.
"No, we are late for a few days because of the tribal war. But the others, some of them are closer than us. Did they also encounter the tribal war? Even if they did, not every team would encounter it. The grassland doesn't fight every day. "Someone retorted.
It was reasonable to say that even if the other teams didn't all arrive, there should be at least one or two teams. However, no matter how Kun Tu blew the whistle, there was still no response. On the contrary, some travelers passing by always looked at such a strange team with curious eyes. If it weren't for the fierce warriors of the Yanjiao tribe and Caesar, which made the travelers afraid, there might have been several battles.
Kun Tu was anxious when there was no response. Mai also frowned.
Shao Xuan looked at the sky. Chacha didn't give any hint, indicating that there were no active wanderers around.
"There are no groups of wanderers around here. Let's find a place to settle them down first, and then we'll continue to search." Shao Xuan said to Mai.
It was not good to run around with so many wanderers and livestock.
After searching the surrounding mountains and settling the wanderers and livestock, Shao Xuan, Mai, and more than twenty warriors left with Kun Tu to continue the search. The remaining half of the warriors and Caesar stayed to protect the wanderers.
They looked around with Kun Tu, and even scattered to search, but still didn't see any groups of wanderers.
Kun Tu's whistle was different from the one used by Shao Xuan. Mai was worried that even if others heard their whistle, as long as it was not the same as Kun Tu's whistle, they would not respond. He could only take Kun Tu wherever he went.
After searching the mountains near the market, they didn't find anyone. Shao Xuan proposed to go to the market to inquire. After all, there were so many wanderers coming and going. It was okay to hide their whereabouts, but if they were seen, they should be able to get some information.
Mai agreed. Anyway, there was no better way now, so he followed Shao Xuan's suggestion.
