Chapter 485 After the Pad
From the grassland to the more arid and barren land, a place where thousands of grains of gold was discovered. Shao Xuan taught him the knowledge of identifying herbs in Jiju, so that everyone in the tribe prepared some.
Along the way, there were too many things, chased and various dangers in the mountains and forests. The wounded consumed a lot of medicines. The Taihe tribe sent them were almost over. Although they had picked herbs in the middle, they could not withstand the consumption. Now there were not many medicines on hand. People who did not awaken the power of totem, and those elderly people, even if they were carried by people, would inevitably become sick for a long time.
It has been twenty days since we set out from the tribe and there is still a long road ahead. We have to continue to hold on. At this time, we naturally need to prepare more herbs.
People from the Shaoxuan Tribe identified the herbs from this area and picked them down and prepared them if they encountered them.
Looking up at the sky, Shao Xuan found that in a high place, a bird flew through the air and couldn't see what it looked like. It flew too high and was flexible, and it was difficult to shoot even with an arrow.
"What's wrong?" Zhengluo came over and asked.
"That bird appears again." Shao Xuan pointed to the shadow in the air.
"And?" Zheng Luo became alert, "It should be someone who raises it, or tracks our movements."
"Chief, why haven't the people in the royal city appeared yet?" Shao Xuan asked.
"You mean...that bird belongs to the royal city?!"
Zheng Luo was silent. He was not a person who knew nothing. He knew that once the people in the royal city decided to deal with, they would definitely take action. The ones they encountered before were just the tentacles released by the people in the royal city first.
Since everyone else can track the movements of the Yanjiao tribe, the people in the royal city will definitely not know nothing and fail to show up. Maybe they are waiting for the best opportunity.
"They are here too?" Zheng Luo asked. Although he was a question, Zheng Luo had already made five points of sure in his heart.
"The people in the royal city are not used to the forest. They have not taken action until now. They are probably waiting for us to leave the forest and go to the open place before taking action." Shao Xuan thought about the terrain of the place he passed by when he came here. "With this barren mountain, he will pass through a wider place. There are more people and the road is flat. Only by walking there can you enter the semi-desert area. The most likely place for people in the royal city is on the middle section of the road."
Zheng Luo felt heavy in his heart. Although they were not happy with those who were pretending to behave in the royal city on weekdays, they had to admit that they could capture the current territory and develop to their current scale. The current six nobles and the six strongest tribes in the past should never be underestimated. There are children, elderly people and women who have not awakened in the team. They cannot let go of the battle at all, and they cannot give up these people. As for the solution, unless some people are left behind to block the pursuit team of the royal city and let the remaining people in the tribe continue to rush.
Those who face the royal city are most likely to never be able to keep up with the team and cannot even cremate. However, sacrifice is inevitable for the sake of the tribe, even Zheng Luo himself is ready to stay.
"I have to arrange some people to placate behind the team." Zheng Luo looked at the undulating barren mountains around him and said, "I'll discuss with Duokang."
When the team was rushing, Zheng Luo talked to the soldiers according to the situation of each family. Some families, the kind that rely on one person to support him must not be allowed to join the team behind the mat.
Zheng Luo calculated that if he wanted to temporarily block the royal city team, he would have to split out at least one thousand people. Otherwise, it would not be of much use at all.
Zheng Luo originally wanted to join him, but he was the leader and had to lead the team. Even if he wanted to, others would not allow him. How can the team without a leader go? Now he accepts his fate as a new leader?
"Just join in, brother, you can continue walking." Zheng Cheng walked over and said.
Although Zheng Cheng is a reckless person, his strength is not much weaker than Zheng Luo, otherwise he would not have competed for the position of leader with Zheng Luo. On weekdays, the two brothers didn't like each other, so Zheng Cheng stood up at this time.
Zheng Luo looked at the younger brother and suddenly felt his eyes sore and opened his mouth to talk. Zheng Cheng interrupted: "Don't talk nonsense, that's it, how many people are there? Let's take a look."
As he said that, Zheng Cheng snatched the cloth with the name written on Zheng Luo's hand, "Oh, the two of Duokang and Guangyi are there, and Wacha are there too, well, not bad, and there is that boy, Qiong, who has courage, and Shao... Oh no, brother, why is there Shao Xuan's name on this? How can you let Shao Xuan be on this? Your leader is getting more and more confused!"
Zheng Cheng scolded his brother when he took the opportunity.
Zhengluo was stunned when he heard this, and grabbed the cloth with his hand. He told everyone during the rest, and then placed the cloth on a stone, so that those who meet the requirements and are willing to leave the name are written on it. There were too many people around there at that time, and he didn't pay attention. When did this boy Shao Xuan write his name?!
Everyone in the team can stay, even Zheng Luo will stay when necessary, but two people cannot stay. One is a witch. Many things cannot be done without witches. This time, there must be a witch. The other is Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan is an elder of the tribe, wearing ancestral bone decorations. If you want to take the tribe back to your hometown, besides the witch, you can't do it without Shao Xuan. What's more, Shao Xuan is originally a person there. Even if you don't have Shao Xuan, it will be difficult to go back. They looked at him with a look of darkness.
"Cross it out, cross it out Shao Xuan's name quickly!" Zheng Cheng picked out a ball of dark green mud from somewhere, pasting it on Shao Xuan's name.
In the next few days, the team continued to move, and Zheng Luo continued to check the list to see if it met the conditions he said. When he was about to leave this barren mountain, Zheng Luo reported the final list.
These thousand people will be placed behind the team. If they meet the people from the royal city, they have to withstand it. They are the last shield of the tribe to block the spear of the royal city.
There was a sad atmosphere in the team, but everything had been explained in the past few days. These people knew what they were going to do and the possible consequences.
After Zheng Luo reported the list, he briefly said that, he put away the cloth and planned to wipe his red eyes. Although he had seen many casualties and injuries along the way, this time it was not the small forces ahead, but a tough battle. As the leader, Zheng Luo felt sad, but he still had to do the necessary sacrifices to go back. If it was necessary later, he would stand up himself.
As soon as he rubbed his eyes, Zheng Luo opened his eyes and saw Shao Xuan standing in front of him.
Knowing what Shao Xuan was doing, Zheng Luo coughed, "Shao Xuan, you know, everyone else in our tribe can stay, including me, in the team behind the mat, but you and Wu can't, otherwise who will take the tribe back to his hometown?"
Shao Xuan paused and said, "I just want to give it a try."
"What to try?" Zheng Luo was puzzled.
"If I meet people from the royal city, I want to try to stop them. If I can't stop them, at least I can cause some trouble for them."
"You? What trouble do you want to cause them... No, you want to borrow the power of your ancestors?!" Zheng Luo stared at Shao Xuan suddenly.
"Yes." Shao Xuan nodded.
"No, you have to take the tribe back with the power of your ancestors. You can't take risks here. We finally got here, so we can't use this to bet!" Zheng Luo refused sternly.
"If the ancestors were here, they would not want to see everyone die here for the sake of going back. Leader, you know, I can live under the mouth of the king beast, and the people from the royal city come over, and I can continue to live, and it will also make the warriors a little easier and give the team more time."
"no!"
"The ancestors agreed."
"You let it go..."
"If you don't believe me, ask for bone decoration." Shao Xuan took down the bone decoration and handed it to Zheng Luo.
Zheng Luo's muscles twitched hard twice. His ability to communicate with his ancestors? He has always been communicating with the witch and the ancestors!
Seeing that Shao Xuan was still staring at him, Zheng Luo looked at the bone jewelry handed to him, turned his head in a tangled manner, shook his hand, "Go and find the witch! The witch will do what you say!"
Shao Xuan grinned, Wu would not object.
Wu did not object. He only stared at Shao Xuan with expressionless face after hearing what Shao Xuan said he wanted to leave the mat, and stared at Shao Xuan for nearly ten minutes, making Shao Xuan's forehead sweat, and then said lightly: "Go."
If Wu hadn't been holding the crutch's hand and the veins on the back of his hand were too hard, others would have thought that Wu's heart was as calm as he was on his face.
At this time, no one can calm down. They are confused and uncertain about the future, worried and anxious about the coming things, but they have already come here and they cannot look back.
Walking out of this barren mountain, your vision becomes wider and you become popular. The grass on the ground has formed several clear roads because people often walk around, and there are some clear traces on the ground.
There are people coming and going around, all trading teams between tribes, but compared to the caravans of Black Bear and others, they are much smaller. They are just trading teams of small tribes. The number of people is only a hundred, and the number of people is only twenty or thirty.
When they saw the Yanjiao team, they all came to their curious sight. They had never seen the Yanjiao people before, but they were wondering where the team came from. It seemed that after a long journey, their clothes were dirty and they were tired, but they could not hide the momentum.
Not easy to mess with. This is the first impression of people coming and going.
So, these people buried their heads and quickly left, worried that the people in Yanjiao would snatch the goods.
Chapter completed!
