Among the seven ferocious beasts, several of them had never shown their faces in public, except when the tribe was migrating. This was the first time they came out of the Ferocious Beasts Forest, so they were very excited. The ferocious beasts living in the Ferocious Beasts Forest, even if they lived with human beings, were still ferocious. When they looked at people or things, they even made people feel a flash of cold light.
Most of the thousand people who came out of the Ferocious Beasts Forest were intermediate and senior totem warriors, which puzzled people who saw them.
The Wan Shi tribe, which was closest to the Yanjiao tribe, had been paying close attention to the situation of the Yanjiao tribe. When they saw the ferocious beasts in the team, they were shocked. No wonder none of the Wan Shi beasts they sent came back. They might not have been killed by the Yanjiao people, but they might have been eaten by the Yanjiao ferocious beasts. The people who were monitoring near the Ferocious Beasts Forest often heard the strange cries of the ferocious beasts. They used to take pleasure in other people's misfortune, thinking that the Yanjiao people must have encountered the ferocious beasts in the forest. Now when they saw these beasts, they knew that it was not them who encountered trouble, but the ferocious beasts raised by their tribe!
"Do you think there are any other ferocious beasts in the Yanjiao tribe besides these beasts?" A man of the Wan Shi tribe who was monitoring the Ferocious Beasts Forest asked his companion next to him.
"I don't know. They live in the forest full of ferocious beasts. Who knows if they have other ferocious beasts." No matter whether the Yanjiao people had other ferocious beasts or not, if the chief ordered them to take this opportunity to attack the Yanjiao tribe, he would definitely hide behind the team. It was safer that way.
"But look at the Yanjiao people who went out in a hurry. What on earth happened to make them so anxious?" Another man of the Wan Shi tribe said. He just accidentally exposed his position. If it was in the past, the Yanjiao people would definitely chase after him. But this time, he just ran two steps and found that the Yanjiao people didn't mean to stop at all. They didn't even look at him.
"It's really strange. I thought the Yanjiao people were going to fight with us! I was so scared … "
"Don't think too much. Let's go back and report to the leader first."
Not only were the people of the Wan Shi tribe full of doubts, but the Yanjiao team was hard to ignore. Moreover, after leaving the forest, this team seemed to be going straight to their target. Except for a short rest and exchanging food with other tribes on the way, they did nothing else.
The robbers didn't dare to make a move on this team. Some travel teams even went over to talk to them during their break, hoping to get some information. Unfortunately, the people in this team didn't care about them at all.
Yanjiao's team was guarded against by all the tribes they passed by, but they simply ignored them. They only had one goal now, and that was the desert!
"What are the Yanjiao people trying to do?" The Mang tribesmen who received the news were bewildered.
Because of Shao Xuan's disappearance in the desert two years ago, the Yanjiao people had lost contact with the other tribes. Later, when several tribes organized to go to the desert, they didn't call the Yanjiao people. But now, what did the Yanjiao people want?
In the past two years, the Yanjiao tribe had been very low-key. Other than sending people to the desert from time to time, they didn't do anything else that attracted attention. But now, the Yanjiao tribe, which had been low-key for two years, was acting so ostentatiously. And the leader was the Yanjiao leader, Ao!
What were they trying to do?
Were they finally going to attack a tribe?
Every tribe who received the news was paying attention to Yanjiao's movements. Even if they didn't take the Yanjiao people seriously before, after seeing this team, they stopped looking down on them. Until they received news that the Yanjiao team was heading in a certain direction, and that direction led to the desert.
Were the Yanjiao people going to war with the slave masters?!
Some people were worried, some mocked, and some just wanted to watch the show.
Ao didn't care about other people's gazes and discussions. He led the team straight to the desert. It had been many days since he left the Fearsome Beast Forest, but he still couldn't calm down.
That day, the fire seed in the fire pit suddenly surged without any ceremony or anyone by the fire pit. The shaman stood by the fire pit for a while, then gave the order.
The shaman told them two things. One, Shao Xuan was coming back. Two, there might be more than one person coming back.
"The incomplete fire seed is about to become complete!"
The shaman's words set off a storm in Ao's heart. Even now, thinking about it made him tremble with excitement. For so many years, generation after generation, how many Yanjiao ancestors had died with hatred? Ao never thought that he would encounter so many things during his time as the leader. Whether it was returning to the old land or the other half of the fire seed, it was enough to make every Yanjiao person ecstatic. In the future, he would be able to meet his ancestors with satisfaction.
The other half of the fire seed … Could it be that Xuan went missing to find the other half of the fire seed? How many people came back with Xuan?
"Pack up, we're going to the desert today!" Ao turned to the others in the team and then looked at Caesar who was lying on the ground. "Can you detect Xuan's presence?"
Caesar shook his head slightly. The distance was too far. It seemed to be in that direction, but he wasn't sure. However, he sensed that there was another strange guy in the desert.
Seeing Caesar staring in the direction of the desert, Ao didn't care. He didn't think much about it. He got up and asked Tuo who was more familiar with the surrounding area. Then he led the team to the Rain tribe to get some food and water.
Now, Yang Sui was almost in charge of the Rain tribe. Why? Because he could ask for rain! The people of the Rain tribe now worshipped Yang Sui like a treasure. Even the chief's status was far lower than his.
In the past two years, every time the Yanjiao people came to the desert, they would rest in the Rain tribe for two days. So Yang Sui also knew that Shao Xuan was missing. When he heard that the Yanjiao people were going to the desert to find Shao Xuan, Yang Sui was very happy. He also lent several rainstones to the Yanjiao people. The desert was too hot and dry. The rainstones could condense water and make the Yanjiao people feel better. Not to mention the warriors in the team, the ferocious beasts didn't seem to live in dry areas. They might not be able to adapt to the desert environment.
The high-quality rainstones were very precious. Yang Sui lent several of them. If the Yanjiao people took them away and didn't return them, the people of the Rain tribe would cry to death. If it were other people who did this, the people of the Rain tribe would never agree. However, it was Yang Sui who lent the rainstones. He was the Shaman, so he had to continue supporting him.
Yang Sui was grateful to Shao Xuan. He knew that the matter of praying for rain had something to do with Shao Xuan. Now he could help the Yanjiao people, which was also a kind of gratitude.
Yang Sui originally wanted to lend some camels to the Yanjiao people, but Ao refused. He thought camels were too slow, and there were not many camels here. The woman next to Yang Sui became nervous when she heard that he wanted to borrow camels.
Besides, they were in a hurry this time. There were nearly a thousand people in Ao's team, and only a dozen camels were not enough to share. If they encountered those crazy slaves in the desert, they might not be able to protect all the camels.
Not long after staying in the Rain tribe, Ao led the team into the desert. Most of the Yanjiao people had never been to such a place. At first, they were not used to it. Fortunately, they were strong and got used to it after a few days. However, several ferocious beasts in the team had thick fur and were not in a good state of mind.
"I didn't expect the desert to be so hot." Mao wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was Lei and Tuo who brought people to the desert several times before. He had never been here. Now, even Si Ya was about to become a roasted pig, let alone himself.
"Fortunately, the Rain tribe Shaman gave us these rain stones. Otherwise, the situation would be more difficult." Tuo looked around. He could only judge the direction according to the sun. The sand dunes in the desert were always changing. Even if he had been here several times, he could not identify the location according to the appearance of the sand dunes. "The best thing is to find a place to rest first and continue when it's dark."
Ao thought so too, but before he could say anything, Caesar, who had been quiet all this while, seemed to have noticed something and looked around vigilantly.
"What's wrong?" Ao asked. The other ferocious beasts were not abnormal.
Anyway, it was always good to be careful. Ao made a gesture behind him. The originally dispirited people quickly adjusted their state and became alert. Along the way, they had encountered some scattered forces harassing them. They had also been attacked by ferocious beasts in the desert. But this was the first time that only Caesar noticed it and the others did not respond.
But soon, the other ferocious beasts began to become restless and alert.
For a moment, only the low growls of the ferocious beasts could be heard.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh — —
The sound of flowing sand was heard.
Small black dots appeared in everyone's vision. Moreover, these black dots were increasing rapidly, fighting to emerge from under the sand.
"Oh no! It's the insect tide! "
"Why is there an insect tide here?!"
"Everyone, be careful!" Ao raised the stone knife in his hand and shouted. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Caesar running to the front.
…
When Ao led the people into the desert, Shao Xuan and the rest were still walking in the sea.
Every step Shao Xuan took, the seawater in front of him would be split open. At the same time, the same length of the stone path behind the team would be submerged by the seawater.
These days, they had been eating the dried meat and grains that they had prepared beforehand. The main thing was the thousand-grain gold that they had harvested last year. The thousand-grain gold was very filling. Otherwise, they would have starved to death. They drank the water stored in the pot and the water condensed by Shao Xuan's rain stone. Sometimes, they would catch some creatures that lived in the seaweed. They would catch them before they escaped and eat what they could.
Even though the water and food they brought could barely support such a large team, everyone became very weak after a long time. Some of the children's faces were now sunken.
"Hold on, we're almost there."
