Chapter 280 catch up
On the map left by Chunye, the gathering place marked by the long-distance travel team is not a crowded place, and it is surrounded by barren mountains and wilderness. Perhaps because of the weather, it rarely rains here, and the vegetation on the mountain is not as dense and thick as the forests on the ferocious beasts. There are basically no ferocious beasts, and the number of large beasts is not large.
Such a barren mountain and ridge place is actually a gathering place for long-distance teams. If no one leads the way, it will be difficult to find the exact place smoothly.
At the top of a certain mountain, there are several wooden houses or houses surrounded by vines and grass. At this time, some people in different clothes are looking around on the grass in front of the house.
"How?" Chunye walked out of a bamboo house and asked a middle-aged man standing outside.
"The people from Changzhou Tribe have just arrived, and the rest are the Tianshan Tribe and Hui Tribe." The man said.
"Where is the Yanjiao Tribe?" Chun Ip Man.
"Yanjiao Tribe?" The man didn't remember which tribe was in the Yanjiao Tribe. He paused for a few seconds before he remembered it. He suddenly realized it and then smiled indifferently, "They may not be able to find the way for the first time they participated."
"There are no people from the Yanjiao Tribe." Another person came over and said.
These are all people who have participated in many long journeys. Although they will not participate in them every time, they will take them in rotation as experienced elders every few years, and each person will come out as an experienced elder and the younger generations of the tribe. If all of them are young soldiers who have participated in this long journey team for the first time, not to mention whether they can find a place to gather and no one takes care of them, how many people will die? It is possible to be wiped out by the entire army.
"I heard that there will be three of Yanjiao this time? I wonder if I can live." One person said.
"Don't say whether they can survive or not, it's unknown whether they can find this place on time."
Several people discussed it, and then heard some people not far away say, "Here you come!"
There are two flying points in the air.
"Back to the tribe? Tianshan tribe?" Only those two tribes would come over with birds.
No one could say it for a moment. But after the two shadows flew closer, someone said, "It's from the Tianshan Tribe."
"How do you know?" The young warrior who participated for the first time was puzzled.
"Birds are different. The belly of the birds in Tianshan is white. It's not the one who returns to the tribe." said a person from the Yu tribe. Even though he was participating for the first time, he had learned about the birds in each tribe and could judge them based on the morphological characteristics of the birds.
"It's true."
The two figures in the sky flew closer and rushed straight towards this side.
The sound of flapping its wings vigorously sounded.
Dust and gravel were blown away violently. The powerful claws grabbed the rocky ground, leaving deep claw marks easily.
They were two huge eagles, with their wings folded and standing on the ground, about five meters high, and when they stretched their wings, they looked even bigger. The feathers on the upper half of their bodies were generally dark brown, with some patterns of different colors and some mixed colors, while the part on the abdomen was pure white. There was no trace of variegation. Because they had several hard and short crowns on their heads, they looked like they had horns at first glance, so they were also called horn carvings by people.
As a giant among flying birds, only a few birds such as the giant mountain eagle can compare with it.
The sharp beak has a hook-shaped front end, and its strong claws and sharp nails can easily slash the skulls of prey. It has a strong body and a fierce appearance, especially when the hair on the head is blown to look at people. It is like a ferocious monster staring at you. Some young warriors face the bird's eyes and swallow their saliva. It's so fierce.
There were five people standing on each horn eagle, each carrying a big bow on his back and three long feathers were inserted on his head.
Looking at the ten people coming, Lengye smiled and greeted the person who was about the same age as him in the lead, and asked if the matter was going well.
However, the people from the Yu tribe such as Hongxi and Gu Zhi had no good expressions towards the people from the Tianshan tribe.
But people from other tribes, especially some young warriors, looked at the two eagles in the Tianshan tribe, and looked envious. When they came here, they climbed several mountains, and they would take a long way if they didn't climb. However, like the Tianshan tribe, you can get there by just sitting on a bird, which is so refreshing.
The people in Tianshan completely ignored the bad gaze around them. But for those with envious eyes, they smiled proudly.
Not long after the Tianshan tribe arrived, the people who returned to the tribe also arrived. As before, there were two giant eagles on the mountain peak, but this time there were only nine people who came here.
"Let's have everyone. Let's take a break today. Let's go now? Or take a break for two days?" The leading middle-aged man from the Tianshan Tribe swept around and said.
"Let's rest for another two days, and the people from the Yanjiao Tribe have not arrived yet." said Chun Ye.
"There are people? Yanjiao Tribe?" Hearing this name, the faces of the people from the Tianshan Tribe changed. They looked at each other, their mouths curled, and their smiles a little gloomy.
"The people from Yanjiao are here too this time? There is no guide?" The people who returned to the tribe looked at the people in Tianshan, frowned, and were worried.
"The first time I joined the team, there were naturally no guides." Someone said.
It’s hard to find a place without guides.
"Then wait for two days. Two days later, if there is no Yanjiao person yet, we will set off." said the people from Tianshan.
The other tribes had no objection. In two days, this was also the last chance for Yanjiao. They didn't care until they saw anyone in two days.
Two days later.
In the morning, the people on the top of the mountain came out of the room, looked at the rising sun, packed up and prepared to set off.
The people who returned to the tribe looked away and shook their heads sighed.
Hongxi and Qu Ce had no choice, even if they wanted to wait for the Yanjiao people, it would be impossible.
Mang, Wei Ba, Hui, Tianshan, Yu, Qianfang, Changzhou and other small middle tribes, nearly a hundred people walked down from the top of the mountain. However, when they reached the mountainside, a few eagles cries came from the sky, including the eagles of the Hui tribe and the horn eagles of the Tianshan tribe.
"Here you come!" someone said back to the tribe.
In the sky, a figure smaller than the other four appeared, making a loud eagle cry, swooping down towards the team. As they passed by, the three figures jumped off.
It was Shao Xuan and the other two!
"I finally caught up. Sorry, the first time I came here, it was delayed." Shao Xuan said to the people he knew among the older people. He ignored the other few gazes with a little malicious look.
Chunye nodded, "Just catch up. Can you hurry up now?"
"No problem." Shao Xuan said.
There was no rest, Shao Xuan and the other two followed the team down the mountain.
During the process of going down the mountain, Shao Xuan observed the team and found that the undercurrents within the team were not as harmonious as the surface.
Shao Xuan drew a shot and reminded Tuo and Lei to be careful of the people around him and stay alert.
Although Tuo and Lei were also wary, because they had been accustomed to tacit cooperation in the team before, they heard from Gengye and others that they were united and partners, so they relaxed a little and chatted with some people who fell outside around them. But since Shao Xuan reminded them to be careful, they became alert, especially those in Tianshan.
Jiantuo and Lei didn't understand, Shao Xuan didn't say much, but just gave a few hints. "Don't think that half of the people they said died were all at the hands of slaves and slave owners."
If you don’t die at the hands of others, there are not many ferocious beasts here, then you will only be... your own people!
Of course, although in the same team, everyone comes from different tribes and is not completely considered their own people. Looking closely, the people from those tribes are gathered together in groups, and each group maintains a certain distance of vigilance.
After leaving the gathering place, the team headed in one direction, which was a direction that Shao Xuan had never been before.
One day later, they met a long slave team of more than two hundred people on the road.
