The tense atmosphere at the Yanjiao plantation didn't affect the other side of the Flaming River.
Even though they couldn't see the Yanjiao plantation from the Flaming River, they could still see the strange movements in the sky. The flock of birds there was too eye-catching.
Some people who came to see the Flaming River Bridge were arguing with the Yanjiao soldiers guarding the bridge. They came all the way here just to take a look at the bridge and personally experience what it felt like to be built by a king beast. However, the Yanjiao people didn't let them pass. If they didn't let them get on the bridge, what was the point of coming all the way here?
Threats and promises were useless to the Yanjiao soldiers guarding the bridge. No matter what you said, their attitude was firm. As long as you weren't a Yanjiao, you weren't allowed to take a single step onto the bridge!
Even though the soldiers guarding the bridge didn't stay at the headquarters to participate in the harvest, they knew that no outsiders were allowed to disturb them. These people said they were going to take a look at the bridge, but who knew if they would run straight to the Yanjiao headquarters? Their chief had already said this morning that no one who wasn't a Yanjiao was allowed to take a single step forward!
More and more people from other tribes gathered around. The leader of the expedition team looked at the people behind him, then looked at the Yanjiao soldiers guarding the bridge. In terms of numbers, they had already outnumbered the Yanjiao soldiers. Why don't we just use force?
From time to time, there were some noises from the crowd, increasing the tension in the air.
"You think you can stop us?! If you don't let me see, then I'm going to see! "
The crowd pushed forward and the people in front couldn't help but take two steps forward. The Yanjiao soldiers guarding the bridge immediately pointed their blades and spears at them. Most of the people in the expedition team weren't good people. They were already very impatient when the Yanjiao people didn't let them onto the bridge. They didn't believe in the exaggerated rumors about the Yanjiao people. Other than coming here to see the legendary bridge, they also wanted to test how capable the Yanjiao people were.
Everything was just one step away, and the push from behind just now had become the trigger for the situation to explode.
Just as the chaos was about to erupt, a loud bang suddenly came from above Yanjiao's headquarters. When they looked up, they saw a bloody explosion in the sky.
The bloody scene extinguished the flames of anger in their hearts, and they all stopped what they were doing. Even the Yanjiao soldiers guarding the bridge turned their heads to look. They didn't know what had happened over there, but from the looks of it, it should be something good. After all, those that had exploded into a bloody mist were the flock of birds that had come to snatch the grains.
"What is that?!" Someone asked in a trembling voice.
"I don't know. I heard that it's the territory of the Yanjiao tribe?"
"What happened in Yanjiao?"
"I keep having the feeling that there's something scary over there." The person who spoke even shuddered.
He wasn't the only one. Everyone else had the same feeling. After all, those who could join the expedition team and reach here safely were definitely not weak.
The people who gathered around stopped clamoring to get on the bridge. Yanjiao seemed to be very dangerous, so they decided to observe the situation first.
The guards looked at the headquarters worriedly. From here, they could only see the mountains at the headquarters and the surrounding forest. They couldn't see what was happening in the fields, so they couldn't leave. They could only pray in their hearts that everything would go smoothly over there.
At the back of the crowd, a few people exchanged glances. They saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and they changed their plans at the last minute. Like the Chang Le's, they also came from the other side of the sea, but they weren't as fast as the Chang Le's. They originally planned to use these curious people to distract the Yanjiao guards so that they could sneak in with the others and take a look at the Yanjiao tribe. They didn't expect that it would be so dangerous over there.
"I heard that the Chang Le's already sent people over there," someone said in a low voice.
The others exchanged glances with each other. Everyone knew what was going on. Looking for trouble and looting a burning house was what the Chang Le's did all the time.
With the Chang Le's here, Yanjiao definitely wouldn't be peaceful. They should wait and observe for a while. They didn't want to meet the Chang Le's.
On the other side of the bridge, Ta personally led a group of people to guard this side. If the people on the other side couldn't hold on, he would still be here. They definitely couldn't let those people come over today. Recently, because of the Flaming River Bridge, more people came to the Flaming River Trading Point. These people were also bolder. Some even wanted to test Yanjiao directly. How troublesome.
The mission here was also very important, but Ta was also worried about the fields. Perhaps the others didn't know, but as one of the two leaders of Yanjiao, Ta knew about the bat leader. Because of this, he was even more worried.
At the same time, above Yanjiao's fields, the bloody mist gradually dissipated. The surroundings were filled with broken feathers and bone fragments. The birds were either shot down, killed, or sucked dry. Their corpses fell to the ground one after another.
While the Flaming Horn tribesmen were busy dealing with the stealing birds and the bat leader was chasing after the birds, two shadows suddenly dashed towards the Flaming Horn's farmland. They were running towards the thousand-grain gold.
"Watch out!"
"Be careful!"
The person who shot the birds shouted when he noticed the intruders in the air.
Just as the Flaming Horn tribesmen drew their bows, a large black shield opened up above the figure that flew past them. The shield spun rapidly.
This was the Chang Le's shield made of gum. It was much lighter than metal and stone. They usually disassembled this shield into multiple pieces and only put it back together before a mission.
The person behind the shield started to transform. Totem patterns appeared on his face and arms. Especially the arm that was holding the shield, it immediately swelled up. His muscles tightened, and green veins protruded. He held the two black shields firmly in each hand.
The two people holding the shields were indescribably excited. Every time they were on a mission, they would feel this way. This kind of tense and exciting atmosphere made them so excited that they couldn't help but shout.
Tuk tuk tuk!
The arrows were blocked by the black shield. The arrowheads pierced into the shield, but they didn't bounce back or pierce through. They were stuck there.
In order to save arrowheads, the Yanjiao people used wooden arrowheads when shooting ordinary birds. For larger birds, they used stone arrowheads. Only birds like ferocious beasts would use metal arrowheads.
The Chang Le's people came so suddenly that the people holding the bows didn't have time to change the arrowheads. Therefore, the first batch of arrows were all made of wood. The arrowheads were stuck on the two black shields.
There were also people who used stone arrowheads in order to shoot down the larger birds. In that instant, they also attacked, but the arrows they shot out were also unable to break through the strange black shield. They were also stuck on the shield, neither bounced off nor penetrated.
The two figures holding the black shields became like hedgehogs in an instant. However, they didn't really hurt the people and birds behind the shields.
Ao also intended to attack, but he saw another figure further away in that direction. The bat leader was sucking the blood of a ferocious bird. If he attacked, if he missed the target, the spear was likely to go directly to the bat leader. If he angered the bat leader, would it change its target to people on his side?
However, because of that little bit of hesitation, Ao lost the chance to hit the target. It was very difficult for him to hit the target again. The chance was gone in a flash.
Just as the two people behind the black shield were feeling complacent, a long spear with a green tip pierced through the air towards one of the shadows.
The cyan spearhead fiercely stabbed into the black shield. The sharp tip of the blade pierced through the shield, and a part of the impact spread along the shield during the collision. The dense number of arrows stuck on the black shield were instantly shattered. Apart from the arrowheads that were still stuck on the shield, many of the arrowheads and arrowheads had already been shattered, shattered, and scattered.
The spear that pierced the black shield didn't stop moving forward. The strong impact continued to push the spear forward and break the shield.
At that moment, the person behind the black shield felt as if time had stopped. His pupils shrank because of the sudden shock. He could even hear the sound of friction between the spear and the shield. The place where the shield was broken seemed to be scorched by the high temperature. If the shield was of any other color, there might be a circle of scorch marks on the place where the spear broke through. There seemed to be a burning air entering his nose.
The person behind the shield saw the blue spear that reflected the cold light getting closer and closer to him. He didn't even have time to react.
It was too late!
He didn't think!
Fortunately, the spear brushed past his forehead in the end.
At the same time, his hands that were holding the black shield, under the impact of the spear, seemed to have been attacked by the claws of a ferocious beast. Lacerations appeared on his hands, extending from the web between his thumb and index finger to the top of his arms. Blood spurted out from these wounds like arrows of blood. His whole body was also brought back and fell off the back of the long-winged bird.
The hands that were holding the two black shields also loosened. The long-winged bird below him also lost its balance. It rolled down a few times before flying away in panic. It didn't stop even after taking an arrow to the butt.
And the person who fell off the back of the long-winged bird was caught by his companion in the next moment and carried to the back of another long-winged bird.
The person who was rescued stared blankly at the arm in his hand, then looked at the spear that fell with the shield. He couldn't help but swallow a few times. Just now, both of his arms were almost shaken off.
What terrifying strength!
And because they wanted to save him, the person who originally planned to create a diversion was exposed in advance.
"There's still someone else!"
"They still have companions!"
However, just as everyone's attention was on the two people who came later, two more figures rushed in when no one was paying attention. They didn't directly rush into the center, but at the border, through the gaps exposed by the guards, they quickly flashed past.
As they flew past, the person on the long-winged bird's back shook his arms. His originally normal arms shrunk in an instant, becoming as small as a child's. His sleeves fluttered in the wind, outlining the clear outline of his arm bones.
He swung his arms slightly, and as the long-winged bird flew past, his outstretched fingers became as slender as hooks. He grabbed at the air, and with a flick of his arm, he scooped up a bag full of Thousand Grain Gold that was held by a Yanjiao warrior. The place where the Yanjiao warrior had grabbed the bag was cut open, leaving only a piece of animal skin in his hand. The bag was taken away.
After the attack, the person pulled up. The Yanjiao warrior didn't have time to do anything else. He could only watch as the person left. Some Thousand Grain Gold still fell from the opening of the animal skin bag that wasn't tied tightly.
The same thing happened in another part of the Thousand Grain Gold field. Someone suddenly came in and took away a bag of Thousand Grain Gold. The bag was full and tied up, but they didn't have time to move it to the warehouse. Now, it was taken away by a sneak attack.
The two of them smirked proudly. If it weren't for the Flaming Horn's tight security, they would've been able to steal even more. However, they probably wouldn't have another chance after this, so they had no choice but to retreat.
"Let's go!"
"Coo —"
There was a bird call in the air, and the intruders all retreated. As they left, they let out strange cries, like the cry of a victor after a battle.
All of this happened in the span of a few breaths.
Ao's expression changed when he saw this. His expression was ferocious, even ruthless.
It was obvious that these people worked very well together. They made full use of each other's strengths and weaknesses, using each other's strengths to make up for their weaknesses. If they weren't still in the Flaming Horn's territory and needed to continue working together, they would've immediately flown in different directions.
And once they left Yanjiao territory, even if Shao Xuan called Chacha back to continue chasing, they wouldn't be able to catch up. After all, there were seven of them, seven birds!
Ao was about to give chase, but Shao Xuan stopped him. "You stay here, I'll go!"
Between Ao and Shao Xuan, one of them had to stay behind. After all, the harvest wasn't over yet, and there might be other variables. Someone had to stay here to watch over things.
After hearing Shao Xuan's words, Ao reluctantly stopped. After all, it was useless for him to chase after them. Shao Xuan could still get Chacha to help.
After saying that, Shao Xuan flew in the direction of the figures in the sky.
Wu He looked at the two bags of fruit in his hands, his face full of pride. "Yanjiao, that's all there is to it!"
"Exciting! Haha! Did you see the faces of those Yanjiao people? "
"I didn't see it, but it definitely won't be good. Hahaha!"
"My arm was almost crippled, but it's good that we got it. I didn't see those Yanjiao people's faces, but I'm sure they'll look like they've been smashed with bird poop, hehe …"
"Hey, don't be so happy yet. There's someone chasing after us." Someone beside Wu He interrupted the laughter of the others.
Wu He looked down. There weren't many trees here, and he could see the person running through the trees. Seeing that the person was running so fast, and the distance between them was quickly closing, Wu He's eyes flashed with surprise. However, he didn't stop smiling. Instead, he said with some interest, "That's Yanjiao's Great Elder."
"What, that's the kid? Isn't Yanjiao's Great Elder an old man? "Someone didn't understand. Most of the elders they had seen before were middle-aged and elderly.
"Don't worry about him. That kid can't fly." Wu He didn't care.
