The hunter team of the Cicha tribe finally arrived at the Ming tribe in the afternoon.
After arriving, they learned that something new had happened. The other party actually gave in and not only sent some magical items that they had never seen before, but also made a request to visit the great witch through the Ming clan.
Faced with this kind gesture, the Cicha people quickly reached a consensus after a quarrel that the other party was weak and could be bullied. Moreover, according to the descriptions of several injured people, the other party was not only small in number, but only one-third of the current number of hunters from the two tribes.
There are also a large number of rattan baskets, animal skins, pottery and salt crystals.
As the saying goes, money moves people's hearts.
These rare and practical items are all things that the Cicha tribe desperately wants.
Especially pottery and salt crystals. After the injured demonstrated how to use them to cook food, their convenient and magical functions and taste completely conquered all the people of the Cicha tribe. Even the people of the Ming tribe, who had always been opposed by others, began to make plans and couldn't hold back.
Live in greed.
What's more, according to the descriptions of the injured and a group of hunters who escaped, the animal skin clothes and strange weapons used by the other party were both unseen and unheard of. As long as these foreign hunters brought by the Five Ghosts are killed, everything will be destroyed.
It's all your own.
So after a simple discussion, the two sides hit it off immediately, and almost all the adult men of the Ming tribe were dispatched. Under the leadership of a few injured people, they joined more than a hundred people from the Cicha tribe to form a larger team to find Xu.
Chen and others were stationed in the camp, preparing to catch them all.
At this time, Xu Chen and others were already prepared while waiting.
Although the place is unfamiliar and the environment is extremely unfamiliar, they are still savages after all. They are no strangers to survival and fighting in the wild. They have been exploring and fighting outside. In addition, they have good discipline and cooperation habits developed through long-term training.
The location is favorable and the people are not occupied, but it is not a soft persimmon and can be manipulated by others.
In order to be on guard against a surprise attack by the Cicha clan, they set up a secret sentinel near last night's camp. When they saw the enemy's large force approaching, they immediately issued a warning and began to retreat into the mountains and forests.
When the people from the Cicha and Ming tribes rushed to the camp, they found that the campfire had not been extinguished, and there were leftover meat and bones scattered around, as well as several pottery bowls and some animal skin tents that had not been taken away.
, there were even a few rattan baskets that were not taken away in time, lying crookedly on the ground, with a lot of salt crystals and some exquisite animal teeth and bird feathers scattered around.
“￥%#……”
A large group of people were extremely surprised, and the hunters from the two tribes began to compete for pottery bowls, rattan baskets, tents, salt crystals and other trophies.
It can be seen from the scene that this group of foreigners escaped not long ago, and they must have left in a hurry after discovering them. Although these items are not many, each of them is a good thing.
Therefore, the two tribes had no time to catch up with Xu Chen and others, and instead they scrambled and even fought in the camp.
Amidst the commotion, some people searched around and found traces of escape everywhere, including fallen animal skins, pottery bowls, pottery spoons, salt crystals and even spears, stone axes and other items.
So these hunters spontaneously began to chase and search around.
The hunter leaders led by the Cicha tribe and the Ming tribe had no military qualities at all, and they couldn't imagine that the other side would create suspicions and lure them away to distract their strength.
For a long time, any savage tribe has faced wild beasts most of the time, and wild beasts are not very intelligent and cannot come up with such a strategy of luring the enemy to disperse and penetrate deep.
Even if it is a war between tribes, it is impossible to have such tricks. Most of the battles between the two sides are direct conflicts. Strategies are a completely unfamiliar field of wisdom for primitive humans who cannot do brain teasers and have not yet developed to the level of intelligence.
That point.
Therefore, facing the hunters who were shouting and chasing in all directions with excitement, the leaders of the two tribes did not do anything to stop them, and even shouted excitedly to chase them in all directions.
As a result, the huge team of more than two hundred people dispersed into the surrounding mountains and forests for several miles in an instant.
At this time, Xu Chen had already led everyone to ambush near the ridge, forming a fan-shaped formation hundreds of meters long, ready to wait for the pursuing enemies.
Sure enough, after hearing a sound of howling ghosts and wolves near the camp, people began to chase from all directions, following the traces left behind. Xu Chen also showed a slight smile on his face and told everyone to get ready.
"Gugu~Gugu~"
The chirping of birds sounded near the top of the mountain, and all the hunters in ambush were refreshed and ready with their bows and arrows.
In the mountain forest, the scattered hunters scattered further and further, and some of them had followed the scattered and discarded items along the way to the vicinity of the ridge.
Here, they found more discarded rattan baskets, animal skin pottery and other items, so the hunters began to fight for them again.
"Whoosh~"
Suddenly a sharp arrow shot through the air and hit a Cicha hunter in the chest. Immediately afterwards, more arrows came whizzing, and several guys fighting for the spoils screamed and fell to the ground.
Blood, wailing, rolling, running...
In an instant, there was chaos in the dense forest.
Some of the hunters who followed behind immediately hid in fear, but the arrows seemed to have eyes, and they kept shooting from the surrounding dense forest. Soon, more than ten people were hit by arrows. Such heavy casualties made the remaining hunters
The chasing hunter screamed in fear and started to run away.
“%￥#@……”
Below the hillside, more hunters roared and rushed up towards the ridge.
"Send the signal and retreat as planned!"
Seeing the densely packed enemy rushing up, Xu Chen issued a retreat order.
"Woo~~"
Gu blew the golden horn, and the team who heard the signal did not hesitate to fight. They immediately retreated in small groups along the ridge to both sides. More than fifty people quickly disappeared into the dense forest.
When the hunter leaders of the Cicha and Ming tribes led a large group of hunters to the ridge, they only saw more than a dozen of their companions lying on the ground scattered in the woods.
Although not many died, and most of them missed their vital parts, these people were wailing and rolling on the ground, and the scene was a complete mess.
“#￥@……”
The leader of the Cicha clan was so angry that he yelled and asked about the situation. One of the hunters who had escaped the disaster pointed in the direction of both sides of the ridge and said that he saw the enemies escaping from both sides. After another roar, the hunters who caught up were divided.
Chase in both directions.
But before they could pursue him very far, someone suddenly fell into a pit trap made of branches and dead grass. There were sharp wooden thorns buried in it, which directly stabbed his legs and feet.
Others were injured by bent branches or stones hung on big trees with ropes. Although these traps cannot kill people, they are endless and difficult to guard against. If you are not careful, you will be caught, so the chasing hunters
I am getting more and more frightened. If there is even the slightest movement around me, I will become so frightened that I will scream, hide and hide, or even turn my head and run back.
Even those who are brave and alert escape the trap, but they still have to face the ubiquitous cold arrows deep in the woods.
In short, the Cicha soldiers were constantly injured and reduced in number during the two-way pursuit. In extreme tension and panic, their speed became slower and slower. After chasing for a mile, Xu Chen and others could no longer be seen.
There was no trace of the people, and no traces could be seen anymore. It was as if these people had disappeared out of thin air.
By this time, the sun had already set.
Fog began to form in the big lake, and the misty mist spread rapidly from the lake meadows and swamps to the mountains and forests, and the roars and roars of wild beasts began to sound from all directions.
The chasing hunters finally got scared, and while shouting loudly to convey the news, they helped their injured companions and began to run down the mountain.
In this battle, the Cicha tribe lost more than 30 people without even seeing the shadow of the enemy. Although not many people actually died, after running all over the mountains and plains to the foot of the mountain, they gathered in the open space and cried for their fathers and mothers, rolling around and wailing and bleeding.
The situation left the entire team in chaos.
Faced with such heavy casualties, the leader of the Cicha tribe was furious but could do nothing.
At this time, it was already dusk, and the mist in the mountains and forests was filled with dim light. It was blurry to see even dozens of meters away. Not only did they continue to hunt Xu Chen and others, not to mention that conditions did not allow it, in fact all the hunters were almost scared out of their wits.
Already.
Many hunters gathered around the leader and asked to retreat with frightened faces.
So soon, this group of hunters from the Cicha tribe who came with great momentum had to carry the bodies of their companions and help their injured companions to rush towards the Ming tribe.
"Woo~~Woo~~"
Above the mountains, a melodious and low horn sounded, and the terrifying voice seemed to be mocking them.
The hunters of the Cicha tribe were so frightened that they ran faster.
Xu Chen and others contacted each other through the horn, and the two groups quickly converged and settled in the next camp arranged in advance.
"Quack, quack, a bunch of idiots!"
In a low valley, a group of hunters were sitting around a campfire, cooking food and sorting out their weapons, luggage, and weapons. They were not afraid of each other's strength at all. Instead, they were all so excited that they couldn't stop.
The strategy planned by Xu Chen to distract and lure the enemy and the traps he laid completed a perfect counterattack, and his own side was unscathed.
Some people even began to regret the things they had discarded in order to lure the enemy, and their mentality became so high that they wanted to snatch them back tomorrow.
