On the map left by Huang Ye, the gathering place of the traveling team was not a populated place. It was surrounded by wild mountains. Probably because of the weather, it seldom rained in this area, so the vegetation on the mountain was not as dense and thick as the woods in the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest. There were basically no ferocious beasts, and the number of large beasts was not large either.
Such a desolate place was actually the gathering place of a traveling team. If there was no one to lead the way, it would be very difficult to find the exact location.
On the top of a mountain, there were several wooden houses or houses surrounded by rattan grass. At this time, some people in different clothes were looking around on the grass in front of the houses.
"How is it?" Huang Ye walked out of a bamboo house and asked a middle-aged man standing outside.
"The people of the Longboat tribe have just arrived. The rest of them are the Tianshan tribe and the Hui tribe." The man said.
"What about the Yanjiao tribe?" Huang Ye asked.
"The Yanjiao tribe?" The man didn't remember which tribe the Yanjiao tribe was. After a few seconds, he remembered it and then smiled carelessly. "It's the first time for them to participate in this trip. Maybe they can't find the way."
"The people of the Yanjiao tribe don't have a guide." Another man came and said.
They were all people who had participated in many excursions. Although they would not participate in every excursion, they would take turns to lead. Every few years, each of them would act as an experienced elder and a guide, leading the younger generation of the tribe out. If all of them were young warriors who joined the excursion team for the first time, they would not be able to find a place to gather. If no one took care of them, how many people would die? It was possible that the whole team would be wiped out.
"I heard that three people from the Yanjiao tribe will come this time. I don't know if they can survive. "A man said.
"Not to mention whether they can survive or not, whether they can find this place on time is unknown."
As they were discussing, they heard some people not far away say, "Here they come!"
In the air, there were two dots flying over.
"The Hui tribe? The Tianshan tribe? "Only those two tribes would come by birds.
For a while, no one could be sure. But after the two shadows flew closer, someone said, "They are from the Tianshan tribe."
"How do you know?" The young warrior who participated in this trip for the first time was confused.
"Birds are different. The bellies of the birds on Tianshan Mountain were white. Not the Hui tribe. "A man from the Feather tribe said. Even though it was his first time participating, he had done some research on the birds of each tribe and could judge them based on their morphological characteristics.
"That's true."
The two silhouettes in the sky flew closer and closer, heading straight for this side.
Hu — —
The sound of wings flapping could be heard.
Dust and gravel were sent flying, and the powerful claws easily left deep claw marks on the rocky ground.
They were two huge eagles, standing on the ground with their wings folded. They were about five meters tall, and when they spread their wings, they looked even bigger. The feathers on the upper half of their bodies were generally dark brown, and there were some patterns of different shades on the feathers. The parts near the abdomen were pure white, without a trace of other colors. Because they had a few hard and short crests on their heads, at first glance, they looked like they had horns, so they were also called horned eagles.
As giants among flying birds, only a few birds, such as the giant mountain eagle, could be compared with them.
The front end of its sharp beak was hooked, and it had strong claws and sharp nails that could easily crush the skull of its prey. It had a strong body and a fierce appearance, especially when the hair on its head stood up. When it looked at people, it was like a ferocious monster staring at you. Some young warriors looked into the eyes of the eagles, swallowed their saliva and avoided their eyes. They were really fierce.
There were five people standing on each horned eagle, each with a big bow on his back and three long feathers on his head.
Looking at the ten people coming, Huang Ye smiled and greeted the leader who was about the same age as him. He asked about the things on the way and whether it went well.
But the people of the Feather tribe, such as Hong Xi and Gu Zhi, didn't look at the people of the Tianshan tribe with a good face.
But the people of other tribes, especially some young warriors, looked at the two eagles of the Tianshan tribe with envy. When they came here, they climbed several mountains. If they didn't climb, they would take a long detour. But for the Tianshan tribe, they could arrive directly by bird. How refreshing it was.
The people of the Tianshan tribe completely ignored the bad looks around, but for those who looked at them with envy, they smiled back proudly.
Not long after the arrival of the Tianshan tribe, the people of the Hui tribe also arrived. As before, there were two giant mountain eagles, but this time there were only nine of them.
"Is everyone here? Shall we set off now? Or take a rest for two days? "The middle-aged leader of the Tianshan tribe glanced around and said.
"Let's take a rest for two more days. Besides, the people of the Yanjiao tribe haven't arrived yet," Huang Ye said.
"There are more people? The Yanjiao tribe? " Hearing this name, the people of the Tianshan tribe changed their expressions. They looked at each other and smiled gloomily.
"The people of the Yanjiao tribe also come this time? No guide? "The people of the Hui tribe looked at the people of the Tianshan tribe and frowned with worry.
"It's the first time for us to join the team. Of course there is no guide," someone said.
Without a guide, it would be difficult to find the place.
"Then let's wait for two days. After two days, if we still don't see the people of the Yanjiao tribe, we'll set off," the people of the Tianshan tribe said.
The other tribes agreed. Two days was the last chance for the Yanjiao tribe. If they still didn't see the people of the Yanjiao tribe in two days, they would leave.
Two days later.
In the morning, the people on the top of the mountain came out of their houses. Looking at the rising sun, they packed up and were ready to set off.
The people of the Hui tribe looked into the distance and shook their heads with a sigh.
Hong Xi and Qu Ce had no choice. Even if they wanted to wait for the people of the Yanjiao tribe, it was impossible.
The people of the Mang tribe, the Eight Limbs tribe, the Hui tribe, the Tianshan tribe, the Yu tribe, the Thousand Masks tribe, the Long boat tribe and some other smaller tribes in the central part of the tribe walked down from the top of the mountain. But when they reached the mountainside, several eagle calls came from the sky. There were mountain eagles of the Hui tribe and horned eagles of the Tianshan tribe.
"They're coming!" someone of the Hui tribe said.
In the sky, a figure smaller than the other four appeared. With a loud eagle call, it swooped down toward the team. When it passed by the team, three figures jumped down.
It was Shao Xuan and the other two!
"Finally, we're here. Sorry, it's my first time here, so I'm late. "Shao Xuan said to the people he knew among the older people. He didn't pay attention to the other people who were looking at him with a little malice.
Huang Ye nodded, "Good. Can you hurry up now? "
"No problem." Shao Xuan said.
Without a rest, Shao Xuan and the other two followed the team down the mountain.
On the way down the mountain, Shao Xuan observed the team and found that the undercurrents in the team were not as harmonious as they seemed.
Shao Xuan took the time to remind Tuo and Lei to be careful of the people around them and to be vigilant.
Although Tuo and Lei were also vigilant, because they had joined the tribe's hunting team before, they were used to the tacit cooperation in the team. Hearing Huang Ye said that they were a united team and partners, they were slightly relaxed and chatted with some people from other tribes around them. But since Shao Xuan reminded them to be careful, they became vigilant. Especially those people from Tianshan Mountain.
Seeing that Tuo and Lei still didn't quite understand, Shao Xuan didn't say much, but just reminded them. "Don't think that half of the people they said died in the hands of slaves and slave owners."
If they didn't die in the hands of others, and there were not many ferocious beasts here, then it could only be … their own people!
Of course, although they were in the same team, they came from different tribes and were not completely on the same side. Looking carefully, those people from different tribes gathered together, and each group kept a certain vigilant distance between them.
After leaving the gathering place, the team went in one direction, where Shao Xuan had never been before.
One day later, they saw a long slave team of more than two hundred people on the road.
Long vines tied those slaves together, and next to this team, there were some people with whips guarding. Those were the higher-ranked slaves.
