Chapter 163 163 consumption (rewards plus updates)
After going down the mountain, we found a puddle. We stopped, unloaded the things carried by the cattle, fed the cattle fodder and rested for a while.
We fetched some water from the puddle, boiled the water, and cooked a pot of millet porridge. A few people sat on the ground, ate salted eggs and dried meat, and continued on their way after eating and drinking.
In the afternoon, after passing the Antelope Tribe, there is the back mountain forest of the Yaoshan Tribe in front of us, so everyone needs to be careful.
"Everyone, stop for a moment," Leopard shouted.
Everyone stopped and looked at him, "I think Huoli and the others might be waiting for us at the turn of the mountain behind."
Dashi nodded, "Yes, there are tall trees and dense forests, and there are hills on both sides."
Yao Xiaoqing thought for a while, "We can't go there all at once and divide into several groups."
Dashi nodded and handed the cow rope in his hand to Muba, "Dayang, Mufeng, Wolf, you will hold the cow rope and walk behind us later, at a distance, so that the cow does not get frightened and run away.
"
The three of them responded: "Okay."
Soon they arrived at the back mountain. Dashi and Bao were holding bows in one hand and touching the handle of the knife in the other, followed by Yao Xiaoqing and Quan who looked cautious.
Mufeng, Lang, and Dayang were holding the cow rope, about ten meters away from the group of people, and they were all walking forward at a leisurely pace.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" more than a dozen stone spears fell from the sky and shot down at several people.
"Hide quickly!" Yao Xiaoqing shouted, raised his machete and knocked down the stone spear that was shot at him. He ducked behind a tree and looked at the direction in which the stone spear was coming.
Suddenly, a dozen men with stone knives, stone axes, and spears rushed out from the woods and ran towards them.
Mufeng, Wolf, and Dayang led the ox back to the forest behind.
The three of them tied the cow rope to the tree. Mufeng looked at the wolf and said, "Wolf, Dayang, the cow and food will be left to you."
The two nodded, "I understand."
Several people ducked and hid behind trees. They waited until those people rushed over and then raised their swords to meet them.
Yao Xiaoqing raised a knife with one hand to block the stone axe, pulled out the dagger with the other hand, and stabbed the man into the heart. He dodged the spear that was stabbed by another person, cut the spear with his knife, stepped forward, and cut it off with a backhand knife.
That person's throat.
After seeing the fireflies on the tree, several people picked up the stone spear and threw it at Yao Xiaoqing. Yao Xiaoqing knocked down the stone spear with his knife, and a piece of skin was wiped off his arm.
A stone spear was knocked down by the rushing Mu Feng, and the two of them ducked and hid behind a tree.
Mufeng asked: "Xiaoqing, are you injured?"
Yao Xiaoqing, "No, why did you come here?"
Stone spears and stones kept falling from the trees.
Dashi slashed one to death with one knife, then ducked and cut off the man's ax handle, pointed the knife at him and shouted: "Liu, we are all from the Yaoshan tribe, are you going to help Huoli kill his own tribe?"
Liu sarcastically said: "It was you who betrayed the tribe first."
Dashi stopped talking and struck him on the neck with a knife. Liu covered his neck and fell to the ground.
Bao Hequan took care of the few people he faced, and the stone spears on the tree kept throwing down "swish, swish, swish".
The two of them quickly climbed up the tree like monkeys.
The leopard looked at the man hiding in the tree opposite, took out an arrow, put it on the bowstring, and shot it at the fork of the tree.
After a scream of "Ah!", a gnashing curse sounded from the tree, "Dashi, Leopard, Quan, you wolf cubs, if I don't kill you here today, I won't be a human being."
Yao Xiaoqing and Mu Feng listened to the direction of the sound and climbed up the tree with bows and arrows on their backs.
"Huoli," Dashi shouted loudly while hiding behind a tree, "bastard, come down if you can. Let's fight. What's the point of hiding in a tree?"
Huo Li scolded back: "You wolf cubs who betrayed the tribe will not die well."
Ah Tu looked at the arrow on his shoulder, his face turned pale with pain, "Chief, our people have been killed by them, what should we do?"
"What are you afraid of?" Huo Li looked under the tree gloomily, "If we stay here, he won't be able to go to Qiushan Market and get salt in exchange."
Yao Xiaoqing took off an arrow, put it on the bowstring, and shot in the direction of the sound.
The leopard also aimed at the tree and shot an arrow.
"Ah~ah~" screamed, and a person fell from the tree. He hit the ground with a "bang", twitched a few times, and then stopped moving.
The sight of the fire fox and black badger in the tree was shocking, and I no longer dared to show off my pretensions.
Yao Xiaoqing took out a stone and hit it in the direction of the sound. A cry of pain resounded from the bushes. Muba and Bao shot arrows, and two more people were shot down by random arrows.
The fire beaver was also hit by an arrow in his shoulder.
Then there was no movement, and Dashi cursed at the tree: "Huo Li, you bastard, the Yaoshan tribe here has been destroyed in your hands. Look at the people who followed you and did nothing all day long. Those bastards are like
Dead. Now there are only you, Black Badger, Atu, and Black Fox left. What do you want to eat?"
Huo Li was so angry that the corners of his mouth kept twitching and his teeth clicked. He picked up the stone spear and threw it at the big stone in anger, "Go to hell!"
Dashi hid behind a tree and sarcastically said, "You coward can't be hit even if you hide in a tree. Come down if you can!"
The black badger looked at the furious fire fox and advised: "Chief, it's getting dark soon. We are not afraid of wild beasts in the trees. They will be in trouble when it gets dark down below."
Huoli gritted his teeth and nodded, "Yes, let's just spend time with them like this."
The big stone leaned against the big tree, "Firebirds, bastards, cowards, they only dare to hide in the trees..."
No matter how provocative Dashi was, Huoli kept telling himself: I can’t hear it! I can’t hear it!
But the sound was like cicadas in the forest, cicadas kept cicadas, cicadas...
The black badger nervously looked at the twitching muscles on Firebird's cheek, knowing that he was on the verge of rage.
He hurriedly cut two pieces of animal skin with a stone knife, rolled them up, and handed them to Huo Li, "Chief, block your ears and you won't hear."
The fire beaver glanced at him, took the animal skin, and stuffed it into his ears to block out the sound of the boulders.
Yao Xiaoqing and Mu Feng looked at the sky through the treetops. It was going to be dark if they kept going. They had to find a place to settle down quickly.
Mu Feng made a gesture to Bao Bao, and the two of them got down from the tree and retreated to the place where Wolf and Dayang were hiding.
Leopard looked at the anxious expressions of the two men and said with relief: "It's okay, there are only a few people left on Huoli's side. They are hiding in the big trees on both sides of the pass and throwing stone spears at us."
"The trouble is that we don't know how many stone spears they have hidden in the trees. It's getting dark soon. We have to find a sheltered place to stay."
Wolf and Dayang breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Okay."
The four of them led the cows and found a sheltered place in the forest. They unloaded the bamboo basket, tied the cows, and started chopping and collecting firewood.
Mufeng picked up the bow drill from his backpack, stepped on a piece of wood, turned it quickly, and the fire was quickly lit.
Dayang took out the kettle, poured the water into the pot, grabbed a few handfuls of millet and started to make porridge.
