Xiao Yu was sitting on a stretcher made of rattan with a seat. He was carried on the shoulders by four people and quickly shuttled through the jungle.
The people carrying him were all in their twenties, with tanned and rough skin. They were very strong, eight feet tall, and with bulging muscles all over their bodies, they were as big as iron towers.
The bodies of these four people are very flexible, and their steps on the mountain are as light as walking on flat ground.
Surrounding these four big men, there were more than a hundred of Xiao Yu's subordinates, all of whom were highly skilled in martial arts and had cold expressions. They stared at the four big men carrying Xiao Yu with some vigilance, and secretly guarded their surroundings.
Surrounding them, there were twenty men dressed in the same clothes as the four big men carrying the stretcher. They were all very strong and agile.
The costumes of these twenty-four people are very strange. They are somewhat similar to the Nanzhao people, but different from them, and they are very different from the Han people.
Everyone wears leather armor sewn from some kind of beast skin, and hangs a slightly curved but very sharp scimitar on their waist. The scabbards have different styles, but half of them are sewn from old bear skin.
The scabbard and handle are both polished copper handles with mysterious engravings on them, which look quite exquisite.
Xiao Yu was sitting on the stretcher. He was actually worried that he would fall off, but his face always looked calm and calm. At this time, he asked: "Where is your great witch?"
The big man who was leading the way did not slow down, and as he hurried forward, he said in a strange tone: "Of course our great witch is in our clan. Doctor, if you bring our great witch's token, we will definitely take you with us."
Go see our great witch."
Xiao Yu sighed secretly, but said with a smile: "I heard that your great shaman has great magical powers and can control the wild beasts in the mountains. I don't know whether it is true or not."
The big man suddenly had a look of admiration on his face, but then he looked worried and said: "Our big witch is proficient in witchcraft and can indeed control the wild beasts in the mountains, but the big witch is sick. Now it is the sacred beast that controls the beasts and protects us.
Tribal people.”
"Your great witch is actually sick. Could it be that he is seriously ill?" Xiao Yu asked with a frown.
The big man immediately sighed: "The big witch's illness is indeed very serious, so the big witch sent us to wait at the mountain pass, and we have been waiting for four years. The big witch said that only outsiders who come with his token can cure his disease."
, so we have to return to the tribe as soon as possible to cure the big witch."
"No wonder these people call me a doctor." Xiao Yu suddenly realized that at the same time, he thought of the porcelain bottle that was sent with the secret letter from the Imperial Master, and suddenly said in his heart: "So that's it, maybe the Imperial Master controlled the medicine through the medicine in the porcelain bottle.
This big witch."
With this understanding in his heart, Xiao Yu secretly touched the porcelain bottle in his arms, his eyes flashed, but he had some other thoughts.
Xiao Yu glanced at the more than twenty brave men around him, and asked: "Just now you said that holy beasts can control groups of beasts, what are your holy beasts?"
The big man said: "The holy beast is a silver lynx. It is a spiritual seed that the great witch asked from the witch god. It is much stronger and taller than the most ferocious tigers and bears in the mountains. The holy beast can drive away all beasts. This is
The king of beasts in the mountains."
When Xiao Yu heard this, he was amazed and thought that there were such magical beasts in the world. He didn't know whether it was true or not.
However, what Xiao Yu values more is how many people there are in this tribe living in the deep mountains, and how many adult men there are, and whether the adult men are all like him
Like the twenty-four big men around him, they are all so brave.
Thinking like this, Xiao Yu asked: "You all look so brave, but I wonder how many warriors like you are there in your tribe?"
The big man seemed to be very innocent, and said with a proud smile: "Everyone in our Huzhao clan is a warrior, and there are more than 10,000 adult warriors like me."
"More than ten thousand such warriors." Xiao Yu's eyes flashed. According to the information sent from Chang'an, the three-year agreement between His Majesty and Wang Junlin has been less than half a year. Da'an is about to attack Tang. If he can
With these more than 10,000 warriors under control, trained and equipped with sophisticated weapons and equipment, he has achieved great things here.
"It's just that this matter may not be that simple. It needs to be considered in the long run." Xiao Yu thought to himself, "And the great witch is the key. Whether he can control these ten thousand warriors and even turn this tribe into a base depends on the country.
Can Master’s medicine control this great witch?”
These twenty people are obviously used to walking on mountain trails, walking in dense forests as if they were on flat ground, and they seem to be very familiar with this vast mountain and jungle. Although there are no mountain trails, they never stop to identify the road. Xiao Yu's hundred
Although many of his subordinates are highly skilled in martial arts, it is still difficult to keep up with these people.
Along the way, they encountered two tigers, a small group of wolves, and a family of bears. Except for the group of wolves, which were frightened away by them, tigers and bears also became their prey.
The group ran for most of the day and finally stopped in a leeward place, collected dry firewood, made a fire and started grilling the prey they had caught along the way.
Whenever he took a break, Xiao Yu would talk to these big men and find out information.
………
………
Just behind Xiao Yu's group, there was another group of people crawling behind the rocks in the distance, looking at this place from a distance with binoculars.
This group of people was naturally sent by Wang Junlin, but the leader was not the insect demon, but Nie Xiaoyu.
Wang Junlin was worried that there would be an accident that would harm the lynx Maomao without affecting the plan of Xiao Yu, a chess piece, so he sent Nie Xiaoyu to personally watch and deal with the matter.
The insect demon looked at the twenty-four big men who were busy making fires and grilling food, with a puzzled look on their faces, and said respectfully to Nie Xiaoyu: "Ancestor, who are these people?"
Nie Xiaoyu squatted on the right side of the insect demon, without using binoculars, and said expressionlessly: "These people should be the legendary Huzhao tribe."
"It's the seventh tribe besides the six Nanzhao tribes. It is said that the number of people is small, but everyone is a tiger and wolf warrior?" The insect demon looked surprised, frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "It's not that it has been more than a hundred years.
Has the former Huzhao tribe been exterminated by the other six Nanzhao tribes? Why are they still there?"
Nie Xiaoyu whispered: "In fact, there were still some Huzhao tribesmen who fled deep into the mountains and lived in isolation from the world. I just don't know how the dog became the great witch of the Huzhao tribe that day."
The snake demon looked stunned, nodded, and said: "I see, no wonder Xiao Yu looks quite excited."

The deep mountains and wild ridges that almost no one has set foot on appear desolate, but they are full of vitality.
There is a vague atmosphere of terror and mystery, and various animals are often seen coming and going.
The mountains in this place
The forest is quite humid, which is very different from the Qinling Mountains, Taihang Mountains and Qilian Mountains in the north. There are many large trees that can only be hugged by several people, and they are quite dense. Many areas of the ground are difficult to be illuminated by the sun.
Therefore, even if the weather is sunny and the sun is shining brightly at noon, people walking in the mountains and forests still feel damp, cold and out of the sun.
The ground has long been covered by fallen leaves of plants over the years. I don’t know how many layers of fallen leaves have rotted into mulch. Stepping on it is like stepping on a carpet, which is soft and soft. Sometimes there are swamp pits.
Following Nie Xiaoyu, the insect demon masters were all a little uncomfortable with such an environment, but with Nie Xiaoyu leading the way, she did not know how many times all kinds of animals, big or small, dangerous or cute, were discovered and noticed by her in advance.
Avoid it easily, or be prepared in advance and deal with it easily.
The deeper they went into the Shiwan Mountain, the more Nie Xiaoyu and the insect demon understood why the Huzhao tribe was able to isolate themselves from the world.
No one would come to this kind of place unless forced to do so.
Because it is really not easy to survive in a place like this.
"Ancestor, Xiao Yu's group stopped in front to rest." Just as the insect demon was feeling a little emotional, a subordinate came to report.
Nie Xiaoyu suddenly looked in a certain direction and said, "We have arrived near the tribe of the Huzhao tribe."
At this time, a deep and loud beast roar suddenly came from the direction where Nie Xiaoyu was looking. Just the sound made many people feel awe-inspiring, and they felt a fierce aura rushing towards their faces.
Everyone quickly climbed up the big tree and looked at Xiao Yu's group. They found that just as the beast roared, there was a sound in the forest around Xiao Yu's group, and then a total of five or six hundred people appeared from all directions.
Big man.
Yes, they are all real big men. Everyone is over 1.8 meters tall and has a burly body.
Moreover, in this cold and cold weather in late autumn, these people were all wearing thin clothes and seemed to be very resistant to the cold.
Their skin was dark and rough, some were even barefoot, and their weapons and equipment were worse than those of the more than 20 Huzhao tribesmen who brought Xiao Yu and his group here.
However, everyone is fully armed, with many bows and arrows and swords.
There are all kinds of bows and arrows, and it looks like everyone made them themselves.
The fighting knives were even more in disarray, only half were made of iron, and the others were bamboo knives, wooden knives, stone knives, and bone knives.
But Xiao Yu's expression was solemn, and his eyes flickered.
Although these five to six hundred people have backward weapons and equipment, they look like very powerful warriors at first glance.
The leader of the big man who brought Xiao Yu and his group came forward and explained a few words to the tribesmen surrounding them, and then the group was led to a large valley not far away.
The beast's roar just now came from that big valley.
Before Xiao Yu and a group of Huzhao tribesmen entered the valley, they encountered a silver beast that was more than one foot tall and more than two feet long. After seeing this beast, these Huzhao tribesmen all
He still lowered his weapon and knelt down towards the silver beast.
"This is the little lynx that saved the young master back then..." Nie Xiaoyu, who was watching this scene from a distance, thought to himself: "The roar just now was also made by this lynx. Looking at its head and power, it seems to be
