Before returning to the mountain village, Gao Jing immediately noticed something was wrong.
The door, which is usually open during the day, is tightly closed at noon.
There were many more soldiers on the wall.
They held the black iron spears tightly, with a look of vigilance on their faces.
This made Gao Jing feel a tense atmosphere of war!
What happened in the past few days since he was gone?
Gao Jing couldn't help but become nervous.
Quickly activate the ability of the Silk Weaver's Wrist, and quickly climb to the top of the stronghold wall with the help of spider silk.
"Brother Shan Bao!"
he shouted to a giant.
Mountain Leopard was the soldier who carried Gao Jing on his back the last time the mountain giants formed a team to collect protection fees from the monkeys.
Shan Bao's younger brother often follows Shan Guoer begging for sweets.
Therefore, this junior totem warrior was very friendly and grateful to Gao Jing.
"High view."
Shan Bao followed the sound and saw Gao Jing appearing on the wall of the village, and was immediately relieved: "You are finally back!"
"What happened in the village?"
Gao Jing asked impatiently: "How are Wu Shou and Shan Guo'er doing?"
"The village is fine."
Shan Bao replied: "Wu Shou and Shan Guo'er are both fine. Something happened to another village."
Another village?
As the stone fell to the ground in his heart, Gao Jing also had a new question: "Which village is it?"
His understanding of the wilderness is still very limited, and his activities are limited to mountain villages and their surrounding areas.
I don't know if there are other villages nearby.
Just know Qinghe City.
"I'll take you to see the witch leader."
Shan Bao scratched his head: "You already know."
Gao Jing was not polite: "Okay!"
Lifted by Shan Bao and sitting on his shoulders, the totem warrior led Gao Jing towards the village.
At this time, Gao Jing found a large number of giants sitting and lying on the martial arts field behind the village wall.
The faces of these giants were very unfamiliar, including men, women, and children. Some giants were stained with blood, some were still bleeding, and some looked smoky, as if they had just escaped.
And many giants from mountain tribes are helping bandage and treat these suspected refugees!
Escape?
Gao Jing's heart couldn't help but shudder.
Because there was a mountain leopard to help escort him, Gao Jing arrived at the wizard's cabin quickly.
Mountain rocks and mountain fruits are both inside
He was greatly relieved when he saw the little girl sitting in the corner of the house holding a teddy bear and playing with Ah Huang.
When she realized something was going on in the village, Gao Jing was most worried about her.
I hope everyone is okay!
"Gao Jing is back."
When Shan Bao came in with Gao Jing, the old wizard was discussing with Shan Tai and two other totem warriors.
Gao Jing jumped onto the table: "Wizou."
"It'll be good if you come back."
The old wizard showed a joyful expression: "I was planning to send someone to find you!"
"High view!"
Shan Guoer ran over, grabbed the table and shouted to Gao Jing: "Are you okay?"
Gao Jing smiled at her: "I'm fine."
He could completely feel the little girl's concern for him.
My heart feels warm.
"Gao Jing is back now."
The old wizard touched Shan Guoer's head: "You should feel relieved now, right?"
"Um."
The little girl obediently left the room on her own initiative.
Don't disturb the adults talking about things.
Gao Jing asked: "Chief Wu, why are there so many outsiders in the village?"
The old wizard sighed: "They are all from the Muteng tribe."
The Muteng tribe, like the mountain tribes, migrated here from the north the year before last and then settled down.
The village they built is more than half a day's journey from the mountain village.
They are considered very close neighbors.
However, the normal relationship between the two tribes is not very good.
There had been conflicts over hunting areas before, so there was basically no contact.
The Muteng tribe has more members than the Mountain tribe, numbering in the thousands.
But just last night, they were suddenly attacked by a gang of criminals!
The witch leader was attacked and killed, tribal soldiers suffered heavy losses, and the entire village was controlled by criminal gangs.
A large number of tribe members were taken prisoner, and only a few managed to escape.
And these Muteng giants fled to the mountain villages, seeking help and protection!
Understood the ins and outs of the matter.
Gao Jing couldn't help but suddenly realized: "Then the person Shan Guoer and I met last time must be one of their people!"
"should be."
Shantai nodded and said: "No wonder we can't find anyone, they went to deal with Muteng Village."
Even if it is a sudden attack, it is not easy to capture a village of a thousand people.
This gang of criminals must have been planning for a long time.
Get it before winter begins!
"Mu Tengzhai is simply stupid!"
A totem warrior present said angrily: "We have sent people to notify them."
Although the relationship between the two tribes was not harmonious, after discovering a crime near the village, the old wizard still sent someone to notify the Muteng tribe to prevent them from being unprepared and causing losses.
The Muteng tribe obviously didn't take it seriously, or they were nervous at the time and then relaxed their vigilance later.
The result was tragedy!
Shantai said: "I have already inquired clearly. Those criminals disguised themselves as merchants and sneaked into Muteng Village, and then attacked the Muteng witch leader at the dinner party."
The two totem warriors next to them both looked like they hated iron.
Under normal circumstances, outsiders are not allowed to enter the village.
You have to be careful when entering.
Because similar things have happened many times before.
For example, when the Qinghe caravan came to trade with the mountain tribes, even though both parties were already familiar with each other, they still camped outside the village.
This way both of us feel at ease.
Even though the Muteng tribe allowed merchants to enter the village, they were unexpectedly attacked and killed the witch leader.
It’s simply speechless!
"If the Musu witch leader was still alive, this situation would not have happened."
The old wizard Shanyan sighed: "Mutu is too young and doesn't understand the sinister nature of people's hearts. It's such a pity."
Mutu is Musu's grandson and successor.
A very young wizard.
"Witch leader."
Shantai asked: "What should we do now?"
An old house where a treasure.
This sentence couldn't be more correct when applied to Shan Yan.
Without this old wizard at the helm, the mountain tribe would have disappeared into the wilderness long ago.
His strength and wisdom are the most important support for the entire tribe!
In comparison.
Shantai and others who are still in the growing stage are still a little too green.
"First settle the people in Muteng Village and organize the manpower to quickly build a few houses."
The old wizard thought for a while and said: "Stop hunting and gathering. No one is allowed to leave the village."
Shantai nodded.
Then he showed a troubled look: "Witch Leader, I'm afraid we won't have enough supplies for the winter."
Originally, the mountain village had stored enough food for more than 700 people to survive the winter.
But now there are two hundred giants from the Muteng tribe.
The situation is different.
To survive the winter, you need not only food, but also salt, firewood and animal hides.
The herds of wild cattle and horned sheep that provided food and furs had already migrated to the warmer south.
There are almost no hares in the wilderness!
To make matters worse, mountain villages are now constantly facing threats from criminals.
No one can guarantee that the gang of criminals occupying Muteng Village will not suddenly attack!
The strength of these criminals is not weak.
"Save some for now."
The old wizard said: "We will think of a solution later and let's do our best."
"yes."
Shantai stood up and said: "Master Wu, I'll go down first."
He left with two totem warriors.
"High view."
The old wizard said to Gao Jing again: "Don't go out anymore, winter is coming anyway."
Gao Jing nodded silently.
His journey to the hunting trial was quite bumpy, with unexpected situations happening frequently.
I originally planned to dig deeper into the secrets of goblins.
Now it's all in vain.
Coupled with what happened in the past, he now hates the guilty people especially!
"Witch leader."
After hesitating for a moment, Gao Jing asked: "Will those people from the Muteng tribe live in our village from now on?"
The old wizard nodded: "Yes."
According to the rules of the Great Wilderness, these Muteng giants chose to shelter in mountain villages.
As long as they are accepted, they will automatically become members of the mountain tribe.
The last name was changed accordingly.
Many tribes in the wild grew stronger in this way!
"you do not need to worry."
Shan Yan finally said to Gao Jing: "Nothing will happen to the mountain tribe."
Gao Jing believed what the old wizard said.
But there is still a lingering haze in my heart.
Because now Gao Jing has regarded the mountain village as his home.
There are his friends here.
There is also a little girl who is closer than family members!
Gao Jing is very weak.
But when the village faces a serious threat, he also wants to do his part!
After thinking again and again, Gao Jing quietly returned to the wooden house in front of the waterfall.
