Even at night, the knocking sounds didn't stop.
Shao Xuan and the others were resting on the mountain some distance away from where the people from Rock Hill City were knocking on the mountain. Even so, they could still hear the sounds coming from there.
"They don't even rest at night? What are they trying to do? "A Feather tribesman said.
The Feather tribesmen all lived in the trees outside the cave. Their hearing was good. Even the slightest sound at night could wake them up, not to mention the constant knocking sounds.
Compared to the people outside the cave, the people sleeping inside the cave had it much better. They didn't know why, but tonight, they felt that the cave was exceptionally quiet. Even the sounds of the insects moving below the cave were gone. The sounds from outside the cave were also reduced by a lot, so they couldn't hear as clearly as the people of the Feather tribe.
So when the Feather tribesmen complained, there was a rare sound of snoring coming from the cave. The continuous large-scale search over the past few days had consumed a lot of their energy, but they didn't find anything. Everyone was exhausted. It was rare for them to have a quiet night, so they quickly fell asleep.
The green-faced fanged beast caught by Shao Xuan also quieted down after it struggled to no avail. However, Shao Xuan could tell from its breathing that it wasn't asleep. It was just lying there quietly, thinking about something.
Lying on the ground, Shao Xuan listened to the knocking sounds outside. He didn't feel sleepy at all. The noise outside couldn't disturb his sleep. He couldn't sleep because he was restless.
While everyone else was enjoying the rare silence, Shao Xuan felt like something was going to happen.
Unable to sleep, Shao Xuan got up and walked out of the cave.
Outside the cave, gusts of wind blew. In the surrounding forest, the leaves and grass rustled incessantly. This was something that had been heard for the past few days. However, tonight's rustling carried an indescribable sense of eeriness. Even Shao Xuan felt goosebumps all over his body when the wind blew on him.
Could it be that the temperature dropped these few days?
No, it couldn't be. The temperature was a little higher than three days ago. If they left this green forest and entered other parts of the Fearsome Beast Forest, the temperature might be even higher.
Although the nights in the mountains were cooler, to the totemic warriors, it was like a summer night. They wouldn't get goosebumps from the wind.
Another gust of wind blew.
Rustle — — Rustle — —
The rustling of leaves and branches sounded again. Shao Xuan rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and stared at his surroundings. This feeling was too strange. What was it?
They set up many traps at the foot of the mountain. If there were intruders or beasts attacking, they would've sounded the alarm.
The two Thousand Masks tribesmen who were responsible for the night watch looked at Shao Xuan in confusion. They didn't understand why this Flaming Horn tribesman didn't sleep at night.
"Nothing happened at the foot of the mountain?" Shao Xuan asked the two night watchers.
"No."
The one who spoke was a warrior from the Thousand Masks tribe called Fei You. Shao Xuan had seen this person a long time ago. When Shao Xuan went out with the Pu tribe's expedition team, he had seen this person and had a short fight with him.
Fei You looked at Shao Xuan. "Elder Shao Xuan, did you notice something?" He knew that the Yanjiao people were more sensitive to the changes in the forest than others. So, after hearing Shao Xuan's question, he asked.
In the past, Fei You dared to fight with Shao Xuan. But now, he knew that he was no match for this man of the same age. They had indeed ignored the Yanjiao people during their trip to the desert. But now, no one could ignore this tribe.
"Not yet. Be careful tonight. Pay attention to the movements at the foot of the mountain," said Shao Xuan.
Hearing this, Fei You and the other warrior from the Thousand Masks tribe trembled. This Yanjiao person definitely wouldn't say this for no reason. They didn't like the Yanjiao tribe, but they had to admit that in this forest, the Yanjiao people were indeed more sensitive than them. Since he said this, there must be a reason.
The knocking sounds from afar did not stop. Just as Shao Xuan thought, the people from Rock Hill City seemed to be in a hurry.
Why was this?
Rock Hill City had already become the ruler of the desert. The tribesmen were no threat to them. They could still rule the desert safely. Why were they in a hurry to act? Was it to strengthen their position? Or was it to prepare for something else?
Perhaps it wasn't just the tribesmen who felt a strange sense of danger. Even the ruler of the desert, Rock Hill City, was anxious.
What did this weather anomaly mean?
While Shao Xuan was looking around in confusion, on a mountain in the distance.
At night, the mountain was lit with fire and the white water moon stones glowed brightly.
Shi Shi brought two-thirds of his people over. He ordered the slaves to knock on the mountain in front of them non-stop.
In the notes left by their ancestors, it was recorded that the green-faced fanged beasts liked to sleep in the grass, but preferred to nest in caves. Many times, there were even several beasts hiding in caves on the same mountain.
This was where the green-faced fanged beast they were hunting was hiding. He wanted to use the knocking sounds to scare the green-faced fanged beast out.
While they were knocking on the mountain, the traps were set up in other directions. No matter which direction the green-faced fanged beast came out, it would meet the people guarding there or the traps.
Bang bang!
As the hammers hit the mountain again and again, the rocks at the entrance of the cave flew everywhere.
"Master! I think there's a sound! "said a slave.
Shi Shi was resting with his eyes closed. When he heard this, a smile finally appeared on his gloomy face. It was just as he expected! The green-faced fanged beast hiding inside could no longer be hidden!
Shi Shi ordered the slaves to stop hammering and listen carefully.
The entrance of the cave was not big. Because of the hammering of the slaves, more than half of it was blocked by the falling rocks. At this moment, the sound of breathing could be heard from the half-covered cave.
Once the green-faced fanged beast started to move, it meant that it couldn't take it anymore and would come out. For a beast that liked to move around at night and sleep during the day, blocking it in the cave at night and hammering to create noise was simply torture. With the green-faced fanged beast's bad temper, it would be strange if it could endure it!
The smile on Shi Shi's face deepened. He signaled the slaves outside to get ready.
In the blink of an eye, the sound of panting suddenly became close at hand. The slaves guarding the entrance of the cave had already pulled up the vines in their hands.
The resilient vines became stronger after being mixed and soaked. The people of Rock Hill City used these vines to weave hunting nets and set up most of the traps with these vines. These were the experiences of the ancestors of Rock Hill City. Shi Shi was not worried that the green-faced fanged beast would break the vines.
With a bang, the rocks that blocked most of the entrance of the cave exploded and a figure rushed out.
The figure was so fast that the slaves at the entrance of the cave could not see its face clearly. They could only feel that its whole body seemed to be breathing and the air around it was exploding.
The green-faced fanged beast that rushed out of the cave was caught by the vines outside. Its fangs could cut the vines, but the other vines that were tied to its body could not be pierced by its two strange fangs.
The slaves quickly tied up the green-faced fanged beast that rushed into the net. No one touched the two long fangs. Shi Shi knew very well what their most powerful attack was. Even if this was his first time seeing a green-faced fanged beast alive.
Shi Shi's gloomy mood for the past few days finally cleared up.
Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a scream from the side. A cold murderous aura was like an invisible spear, pointing directly at him.
Without much time to think, Shi Shi jumped up and dodged.
A figure suddenly rushed out from the forest beside him. To be exact, it rushed out from the ground in the forest beside him. The grass there was too deep and covered a cave there. Something had crashed into the cave and a part of it had collapsed. Layers of soil, rocks and thick grass covered the cave well. Otherwise, the people of Rock Hill City would have discovered it.
The sudden appearance of the figure did indeed catch Shi Shi off guard.
The figure that rushed over quickly moved up and down as it ran. The sound of the wind was like the howl of a beast in the night. It was also like a raging gust of wind. The grass around it was swaying in the same direction.
In the face of such a sudden attack, Shi Shi was able to dodge but the slave standing there was not so lucky. He had already picked up his weapon and wanted to block the violent attack.
Bang!
A cloud of blood spurted out from the slave's arms holding the broadsword. Blood spurted out from every pore on his body. Under the bulging muscles, the veins and nerves were protruding as if they were going to jump out of his flesh. The slave who blocked the attack felt a numbing pain in his arms. He almost lost his grip on the broadsword. The gust of wind that followed this blow pulled the muscles on his face back, and the protruding bones made his entire face look strange.
"Catch … catch it!" Shi Shi did not care about the slave. Seeing another green-faced fanged beast, he was even more delighted. He quickly ordered the slaves to catch it.
"Ah!"
A scream came from not far away.
It was from the people who were lying in ambush on the other side of the mountain.
Could it be … there were more over there?
Shi Shi was getting more and more excited. Great, this time he might be able to bring back more green-faced fanged beasts. In the past, every time his ancestors came, they only brought back two or three. It was not enough, far from enough!
"Great, catch them all! I'll catch as many as they come! "
However, what happened next was beyond Shi Shi's expectations.
On the mountain, the sounds of the people lying in ambush from all four directions indicated that there were green-faced fanged beasts in the area. Not only that, the people at the foot of the mountain also blew their whistles. There were also whistles coming from the mountain next to them.
What was going on?
What the hell was going on?
Why did they all appear at once? It was rare to see even one of them before. Did they knock on the mountain?
Were these green-faced fanged beasts hibernating underground? But on such a hot day, how could they hibernate in winter?!
