Chapter 539 Finding
A strange tree, without any leaves or branches, was like a bare wooden stake standing there, with only hundreds of holes as big as fists.

The swinging axe cut down the strangely growing tree with the rapid wind.
"This is the last one." Qu Ce wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then cut the tree into several sections. With the chopping, the holes of the fists on the tree stretched out like flower buds, and the two closed leaves were as big as tearing something.
It is this kind of tree. Today, a piece of flesh and blood bites off a warrior from a warrior in the Mang tribe, and it also contains poison. Plant toxins can prevent blood from coagulating. If you let the wound do this without applying medicine, the blood will keep flowing.
After cutting the tree into small pieces, the large buds on the tree were as if they had lost their strength and were unable to hang down. Qu Ce then picked up the wooden blocks and threw them into the woven net for fire. As long as the "buds" are picked, this kind of tree is very easy to burn and is suitable for fire.
They followed Shao Xuan and several Yanjiao people into this towering place, and then found a place to settle on another mountain not far from Yanling people.
A little up the mountainside, there is an underground stone cave where they are resting now.
Standing on the hillside and looking at the mountain in front, if it was the fire of Yanling, they could still see the smoke over there.
Qu Ce returned to the resting place with a bag of chopped firewood, where there was a flat boulder, and there was a wide and short hole under the boulder. Qu Ce had to bend his knees when he entered.
It looks very narrow from the outside, but it becomes much spacious after entering it.
It accommodated more than fifty people, and some roasted meat and fresh fruits were also placed, so the cave was not crowded.
However, because it is an underground stone cave, the few ventilation holes that open around it cannot bring more light. When staying inside, you can only rely on the Water Moon Stone.
"It's so hot!" Qu Ce slammed the bag full of firewood and lay on the ground in the cave to rest.
The cold bottom of the cave made Qu Ce, who had been busy all morning, sigh comfortably.
When the temperature outside is getting higher and higher, the cave is really cooler. And such weather is easy to forget, and it should be winter now.
The people in the cave surrounded Shao Xuan and ignored Qu Ce, but stared at the movements in Shao Xuan's hand. The younger ones who were slightly lower in the team couldn't squeeze in at all, so they could only scratch their ears and foreheads. Listening to the comments of several people inside, they felt itchy, but there was no way, so they could only wait by the side.
"I haven't finished it yet?" Qu Ce asked the person who was pushed aside. The other party was a young warrior from the Weiba tribe.
"It should be soon." The man said.
When Qu Ce made a hole to chop wood, someone brought back a trap, which was removed from the trap set by the slaves of Yanling. Although it was removed, the trap remained mostly intact, but because there were some complex knots and structures, many people wanted to split it out and study it carefully, but there was nowhere to start. In the end, Shao Xuan stood up and took on this matter.
At first glance, the trap was set in a dense grass area, with bait and grabbing lasso, and some parts made of goldware, which looked like a trap specially made for something.
What do people in Yanling City want to look for? Green-faced and fangs!
Shao Xuan had already told everyone that the people in Yanling were looking for green-faced and fangs, but there were many strange animals in the mountains and forests. After searching for them, no animals suspected of green-faced and fangs were seen.
They have been here for two days. They have not met the slaves of Yanling City, nor have they seen the so-called green-faced and fangs. If they had not seen the people of Yanling City stationed here and they were stationed for a long time, people from other tribes would not have believed Shao Xuan's words.
Shao Xuan told the story of the green face and fangs, but only revealed that they learned the news from the "stealer".
Yanjiao did catch the "thief" people, and several other tribes knew about this, so they still believed some of Shao Xuan's words, but the people in Yanling City wanted to find green-faced and fangs. What was the use of Shao Xuan? Shao Xuan didn't say that, and Yanjiao's other four people were also tight-lipped.
No matter what the truth is, if you want to understand the purpose of the slave owner in Yanling City, they have to know what the green-faced and fangs are. Several tribes regard the slave owners of the desert as the most threatening opponents, and Yanling's every move touched their nerves.
So now, when Shao Xuan dismantled the trap, people from several tribes gathered around him. When it comes to catching ferocious beasts in the trap, the people from Yanjiao were stronger, and they were willing to wait for Shao Xuan's explanation.
Shao Xuan looked at the trap that was dismantled and exhaled, "Okay."
"How?!" the waiting person couldn't wait to ask.
Shao Xuan picked up a small trove of green grass that was completely removed from the trap. "This should be the favorite food of 'green-faced fangs', so the people in Yanling would use it as bait. Judging from the size of the trap, the green-faced fangs should not be big."
He stood up and gestured, Shao Xuan said, "The body size range should be from such a high to such a high."
According to Shao Xuan's speculation, the height of those green-faced fanged beasts should not exceed their chests. Of course, they may also be higher, but this is the answer given by this trap.
"It should still have horns, probably at this position." Shao Xuan picked up a burnt branch and drew it on the ground of the cave.
The paintings given to them by Tuoqi were too abstract. Even if they were exactly the same as the original painting, they could not see the specific appearance of the green face and fangs. Shao Xuan just summarized them based on the information he learned and then drew them.
The people surrounding Shao Xuan stretched their necks one by one, staring at the painting on the ground with wide eyes, as if they wanted to imprint it deeply in their minds.
"Can a trap be used as a result of the reason? Otherwise, let's break down another trap?" Leng Ye suggested.
"Going again? It's not impossible, it's easy to be discovered by people from Yanling." Some people hesitated.
"Do you think they really don't know?" Shao Xuan threw away the branches in his hand and looked at the trap that had been dismantled. "This trap may have been deliberately left behind."
"Intentionally? Why is this? Will they change the trap and want to fool us?" Chun Ye Wen.
"Not. I think the people from Yanling want us to look for them."
"Why do you say this?"
"Because they can't find it!"
The three words "not found" were deliberately aggravated by Shao Xuan.
It is indeed difficult to find green faces and fangs, otherwise the hunting team of Yanjiao would not have gained any results. The slaves in Yanling City should have been carefully selected, and there are thieves following them. Even if the slaves did not notice, the thieves must have noticed the existence of their people.
When they noticed that their group followed, they still thought they had not seen each other. They had not met each other, but instead left a trap to capture ferocious beasts near this place, saying that they had no other intentions and would not believe it.
"So, the people from Yanling have not come here these two days because they know we are here?" Gu Zhi turned around in circles and thought, "This is also a good thing. Everyone is looking for their own."
"Okay, according to the drawings of Elder Shao Xuan, everyone started looking for something... green face and fangs." Leng Ye said, looking at Shao Xuan, "Does Elder Shao Xuan have something to say?"
"If there is nothing else, it's just to make everyone mentally prepared." Shao Xuan said.
"What preparation?" The person in the cave looked at Shao Xuan.
"According to what Gula and the others saw in the sky, the people of Yanling had built houses and walls, and it seemed that they had been ready for a long time."
Preparation here for a long time?
The cave was silent for a moment.
The slaves in Yanling can live in wooden houses. Are they really going to sleep in stone caves?
"It's better to build a house." Leng Ye suggested.
The people of the Yu Tribe had something to say at this time, and there was a rare opportunity to show off. "Building on the ground is too eye-catching, so it is better to build it on trees in the forest and make some concealment, and it is hard to be discovered."
"Then you build a house. Let's go and look for it first to see where this grass is around." Chunye distributed the troubling of grass handed over by Shao Xuan to everyone. Since he knew that the green face and fangs liked to eat this grass, he would go to find a place where a large number of grass grows. He didn't believe that he couldn't wait for one!
After taking action separately, all the people in the cave went out at once, leaving only a few injured people to stay. If an abnormal situation is found, just blew the whistle.
Shao Xuan and the other two acted together, but without the others, Duo Kang had been unable to hold back his words.
"Shao Xuan, aren't you really worried that those people would catch all the green-faced fanged beasts?" Duokang didn't like to cooperate with people from those tribes and didn't trust them.
"If you can find it, let's talk about it." There are only five people who came over Yanjiao. Since the target of the others is also green-faced fangs, there is no need to hide it, because the most important thing now is to determine whether the green-faced fangs are really here. If there are green-faced fangs, there will be more Yanjiao in the future. Anyway, they will live in the forest of ferocious beasts.
Duokang thought about it, so he didn't say much.
The grass obtained in the trap looks uncharacteristic at first glance, but if you observe carefully, you will find that it is different from many grasses that look similar in the mountains and forests. The biggest difference is that when you get close to smell, you can smell a faint fragrance, which distinguishes it from other grasses.
The difficulty lies in the difficulty. There are so many similar grasses in the mountains and forests. It is impossible to see someone who looks like them. Just come over and smell them? What should I do if I get poisoned?
As people who often hunt in the mountains and forests, Yanjiao Wu has good eyesight and is stronger than others. However, I have been finding the stone cave at night and only found five trees. On the whole mountain, they can only find five trees. The growth rate is terrible, and the possibility of green-faced and fangs appearing here will be much lower.
"No hurry, continue tomorrow." Shao Xuan comforted.
Outside, the people of the Yu Tribe are very efficient. They have built small houses on the trees, each about ten square meters, and they are covered with vines and branches, which is indeed not easy to detect.
However, compared to those, the five people in Yanjiao still prefer to be in the cave.
That night, half were outside and half were still in the cave.
