Rate the wilderness

The Wooden Shield Clan didn't come to visit the Star Cave during the Spring Festival like in previous years. This was a bit abnormal, but the people in the Star Cave didn't care much.Every spring, people from Xingdong will also visit the Mudun tribe. The two tribes have the custom of intermarriage and have close contacts.

Old Xiongpi led a team as usual, carrying a few items, and set off for the Thorny Forest.This time, there are a few single hunters such as Da Bei and Fat Mu. The purpose of their trip to the Mudun clan is to seek a mate. There are also people like Yu Huanhu and Xing Qi who already have wives. Their purpose is to protect The road is safe.

The old hunter in the star cave is more precious than the mammoth in the white lake, and before you know it, there is only one old bear skin left, which is still tough.Old hunters are always tormented by illness. They were all seriously injured when they were young, and their bones were injured, and they became sick and disabled when they were old.

The old bear worked hard for the able-bodied and had no complaints, although he was disappointed with most of the young men in the clan.Today's young and strong hunters always feel that something is missing, like a beast that has been wounded and hurt, tame and lazy, lifeless.

Looking at Yuhuanhu who was reminding his companions to speed up their pace and not to be alone, Old Xiongpi felt a little relieved that at least there was still hope for the star cave.

Yu Huanhu was very vigilant all the way, and his attitude was undoubtedly correct. There were many wild animals along the way, and the wolves even dared to follow the hunter team.In the old days when prey was plentiful, wild beasts would not wander around looking for food all day long. Hungry wild beasts were the most ferocious and dangerous.

"If wolf meat could be eaten, we wouldn't have to worry about eating it." In the team, a hunter who had just grown up was chatting with Xing Qi. He called the bone fish, and the name came from a small fish carved out of a bone hanging around his neck. .

Xing Qi looked back at the pack of wolves trailing behind him, and said coldly, "It's not that you really can't eat, people are hungry and crazy, they will eat anything."

"I heard that people are so hungry that they even eat people." Da Bei showed a mouthful of jagged teeth and smiled sinisterly.He was originally gloomy, but since he was hit on the head by a rhinoceros rider in the Xishan Cave, he has become more and more eccentric.

"Can human flesh be delicious?" Bone Fish frowned, thinking it was a terrible thing.

"You'll know if it tastes good after you bite yourself." Huang Wei cast a disdainful look, he didn't think much of this young boy who had just grown up.

Lao Xiongpi and Yu Huanhu led the way, and the two listened to the conversation behind them, their minds were not here, and they seemed careless.Passing a dirt cliff on the road, Yu Huanhu realized that there was a thorn forest ahead, he looked up at the sun, it was still early.

"There is a thorny forest in front of me, hurry up and drag one by one." Old Xiongpi murmured to the backward Qing Zhuang, he looked very anxious, it was still early, and he would definitely be able to reach the wooden shield before dark cave.

Bone Fish quickly shut up and caught up with the people in front, while Huangwei and Dabei looked displeased, they didn't listen to Old Xiongpi's words very much, maybe it had something to do with the frequent scolding they received recently.

Old Bearskin was strict with the young hunters, and it was thought that this strictness kept him from even his own sons.

"Old Bear, we never stopped all the way." Fat Wood complained in a low voice, he felt that he was always on the road, and he was already walking very fast.

"You are the one who walks the slowest, hurry up and keep up!" Old Xiongpi yelled at Fat Wood, others still have a chance to survive if they are on orders, this little fat man is on orders and won't let the wolf tear him apart.

Fat Wood took clumsy steps and ran towards the old bear skin with great effort. He has lost a lot of weight recently, but he is not necessarily fat, but his face is still a bit round.He was self-aware, and after entering the thorn forest, he obediently followed Old Bearskin.

The Thorny Forest has always been deserted, unlike the Sunset Forest, it has a large forest, beautiful flowers blooming on the ground, and weeds are everywhere.

However, when entering the thorn forest today, anyone who returns to the old place will feel that it is a little strange, the trees are very bare, there is no animal on the road, and even the sound of birds and beasts is not heard, it is a kind of dead silence.

Old Xiongpi was the first to notice its abnormality, and told everyone to get their weapons ready and cheer up.Animals are more sensitive than humans. Once they realize danger, they will hide themselves and avoid them.

The hunters of Star Cave gripped their spears tightly and looked around. Since they entered the thorn forest, the trailing wolves had disappeared, but the danger of being targeted was still there, which made people uncomfortable.

Everyone kept silent, stepped lightly, and walked into the depths of the thorn forest. The surrounding scene was no longer desolate, but strange.They didn't see a single bird or beast, especially when they walked to the bank of Huixi Creek, where the wooden shield men often move, they didn't see a single wooden shield man.

"What's going on here?" Xing Qi felt that something was wrong, before noon, the wooden shield man should be hunting in the forest and fishing by the stream.

Fat Wood squeezed between Old Bear Pi and Da Bei in fear, but Da Bei pushed him away in disgust, so Fat Wood went to stay by Xing Qi's side.Yu Huanhu walked towards the stream, he seemed to see something, but the fish bone shouted out first, he shouted: "A lot of dead fish!"

There are several belly-turned and stinky fish floating on the stream, and if you look downstream, they are even more densely packed.

The bone fish felt very strange, he had never seen such a situation before, he took a branch and wanted to take a dead fish up to him to have a look, when there was a chorus of shouts from behind: "Don't touch it!"

Yuhuanhu and Xingqi shouted at the same time, their expressions were stern, and the bone fish was so frightened that it hurriedly left the stream.

Many young people in the star cave do not know that there was a plague that swept the entire tribe back then, and countless people died.Such a scene, how can it not remind people of the death curse of worshiping gods.

"Don't panic, follow me." Old Xiongpi was very calm, and directed everyone to move on.

Old Bear was very calm, as if it was nothing, but he didn't say anything.Bonefish and the other hunters whispered, and they began to think that maybe a flood in the valley caused heavy rain the other day.

Yu Huanya obviously didn't think so, he asked his companions to form a group of three and they had to assist each other in case of danger.He leads by example, having Fatwood and Bonefish in his group.

A team of ten people, except the old bear skin of the team leader, formed three small teams with three people in each team.

They left Gray Creek quickly and passed through a small forest in silence. When they looked up, the steep rocky mountain where the Wooden Shield tribe lived appeared in front of them.The bare mountaintops, the cliffs eroded by wind and rain, everything is as usual, this is as usual, reassuring.

Everyone's tense hearts relaxed at this moment, and what they saw along the way was very ordinary, so they started talking again, this time talking about women.

"I heard that the Mudun people are very vicious, are their women the same?" It was the first time Bone Fish came to the Mudun tribe, he was looking for a partner, and he was nervous and excited.

"Their women are ugly like men." Da Bei made nonsense.

"Aren't women all the same when they take off their clothes?" Huang Wei smiled wretchedly.

Old Xiongpi and Yu Huanhu still didn't participate in the subsequent conversation. One of them led the team and the other was behind the team. They were very vigilant and patrolled the surroundings with their eyes.Xing Qi was walking in the middle of the team, he stopped, waited for Yu Huanhu, and asked him: "What do you think is going on?"

Xing Qi raised his chin and pointed to the mountainside, which was empty. In the past, there would be guards from the Wooden Shield clan on the mountainside.The closer he got to the residence of the Mudun tribe, the more indescribably strange he felt, and Xing Qi felt that Yu Huanhu must also have this feeling.

The old Xiongpi who was walking in front suddenly turned his head back, and he gestured to the people behind, Yu Huanhu understood, and immediately whispered: "Everyone get down!" Everyone quickly lay down in the grass, Fat Wood hugged the spear nervously, His hands were shaking, he knew that the thorn forest was so scary, so he didn't come here.

Time passed, as if it had been a long time, and there was still no movement around. Dabei scratched his butt impatiently, and whispered to Huangwei: "What's the matter, lying here to feed the mosquitoes."

Old Xiongpi went to the mountainside to investigate alone. He must have discovered something, so he issued such an order.Xing Qi followed Old Xiong Pi, and imitated him in crawling forward in the grass, their postures looked exactly the same, so they were father and son.

Soon, Xing Qi was driven back, and he conveyed the order of the old bear: "The old guy told us not to move, and said he would go up and have a look first."

This is the territory of the Mudun clan, and the mountain above is the cave where the Mudun clan lived. Old Xiongpi had been here countless times, but this time, he was so cautious.

The entrance of the cave on the top of the mountain looks like a huge bloody mouth, and there are many sharp and jagged stones in front of the door, like dense teeth.It was so empty during the day when it was supposed to be bustling, it was really strange to see.

"Tiger, what should we do now?" Da Bei asked Yu Huanhu, he didn't want to come in vain, but he didn't want to take risks either.

"You guys wait here." Huanhu raised his head and saw Old Xiongpi climbing a rock. He didn't take the original stone path, apparently deliberately avoiding it. "I'll go up with him to have a look."

If something really happened up there, it would be too dangerous for Old Bearpipe to be alone.

Xing Qi was not satisfied with this arrangement, but it was the only way to go. He thought that he and Lao Xiongpi were not like father and son, but Lao Xiongpi and Yuhuanhu were like father and son.

Before leaving, Yu Huanhu took off the Tao Hao from his waist and gave it to Xing Qi to let him temporarily lead the team. Xing Qi seemed very happy to take over the Tao Hao, which meant that the seven partners here were under his management for the time being.

Yuhuanhu climbed the rock nimbly, he was very fast, and he was close to the old bear skin. Suddenly, there was a panic shout from behind, which surprised Yuhuanhu. He looked back and saw that his partners were fighting with someone , the enemy has four or five people, very fierce.

The sound of fighting and shouting was very intense, and Yu Huanhu was very anxious. He quickly climbed down. As soon as he landed, he immediately ran to the place where the attack happened. Before he could catch up, he heard Dabei screaming. The cry made the blood in the human veins seem to be cold.

Yu Huanhu rushed back to his partner, but the attacker had disappeared without a trace. He saw the wounded and fallen bone fish and others, as well as the figure of Xing Qi chasing the attacker.

"Where's Dabei!" Yu Huanhu roared.

"He was captured!" Bone Fish's face was bloody, and his words were crying. He glanced around his companions, and finally cried, "Fat Wood and Yellow Tail are gone too."

The attack happened too suddenly, and as soon as Yu Huanhu left, they were attacked by surprise. They seemed to be targeted, and when they were targeted, it was even more inconceivable.You must know that they are all hunters and are very sensitive, but today they became prey and were hunted.

"Bone fish, what kind of people are they, have you seen clearly?" Yu Huanhu was shocked, the attackers were very powerful, but when he saw them, they were too far away to recognize them.There are three tribes in the Thornwood, which one will attack them?

"It's a blue-faced man, you have to leave quickly!" Old Xiongpi had arrived at Yuhuanhu's side without knowing when, his expression was serious.He had bruises on his face, and he obviously came down the cliff in a hurry.

"They captured the three of us, and Xing Qi followed." Yu Huanhu held on to the spear and looked in the direction Xing Qi was chasing before, "Old Xiongpi, I'll go after him."

"You stay." Old Bear Pi's words were calm and firm.
