Chapter 166 Discovered

In the north of the Teng tribe, in a primeval forest.

“Puff, puff, puff…”

A big praying mantis spread its wings and flew around the forest, finally finding a big spider.

It landed on a branch, and then crawled towards the big spider little by little from the back of the branch.

When it crawled under the big spider, it crawled silently to the side, and then suddenly attacked, and its two serrated front legs instantly grabbed the big spider.

The big spider struggled desperately, but it was in vain, as the mantis's forelimbs had already cut its body in half.

The giant mantis opened its mouthparts and began to devour the food.

"Eer..."

At this moment, a bird of prey cried out in the distance. The big mantis trembled in fear, and the big spider gave up its life. It spread its wings and fled into the tribe.

This big mantis participated in the battle yesterday. Tangyuan's cry was a nightmare for the big mantis that participated in that battle.

In the distance, above the forest, dumplings are flying quickly.

On Tang Yuan's back, Jiang Xuan asked the tourist, "Do you know where the Mantis Tribe is?"

In fact, Tangyuan had already wandered around twice but didn't find the Mantis Tribe.

Because the forest was too dense and the Mantis Tribe did not open up wasteland for planting like the Vine Tribe did, the dense primeval forest obscured their houses, making them difficult to see from above.

"It should be nearby."

Tourists used to walk, but after being brought to the sky by Tangyuan, they could only determine the direction by feeling, but could not find the mantis tribe directly like they could on the ground.

Moreover, he was afraid of heights and didn't dare to keep looking at the ground.

Feng Cao said, "Chief, give him a little more time. If it doesn't work, we can go to the ground."

Jiang Xuan nodded helplessly and let Tangyuan continue to fly forward.

Not long after, the tourist suddenly saw a mountain in front of him. Near the top of the mountain, there was a huge rock with a relatively flat cross-section.

The tourist's eyes lit up and he said, "I know that mountain. The Mantis Tribe is in the forest next to that mountain."

"Go and have a look."

Jiang Xuan was cheered up, but he did not let Tangyuan fly directly over the Mantis Tribe. Instead, he let it land on the ground when it was about to approach the territory of the Mantis Tribe.

The totem god of the Mantis Tribe can fly. If Tangyuan flies directly over the Mantis Tribe, he might be in danger.

Standing on the ground again, the tourist's legs were still shaking, and it was obvious that he had not recovered from the fear of heights.

Seeing Youren's look, Jiang Xuan knew that he could not be relied upon, so he asked Youren to stay where he was and he took Fengcao and walked towards the residence of the Mantis Tribe.

The vast primeval forest is filled with towering ancient trees and old vines everywhere.

It is already late autumn, and many insects are nearing the end of their lives, but they are still chirping loudly.

Not long after Jiang Xuan and Fengcao walked, they saw the totem pattern of the Mantis Tribe carved on the bark of a large tree.

This is the image of a large mantis with bared fangs and claws.

Its triangular head, huge eyes, sickle-like forelimbs, and a pair of wings are very distinctive.

“It’s here.”

Jiang Xuan continued to move forward, taking light and cautious steps.

Suddenly, a huge mantis hiding among the leaves on a big tree in front of them discovered them.

“Squeak…”

The giant mantis's wings vibrated rapidly, making a special sound.

This was the signal sent by the giant mantis, and soon all the giant mantises nearby began to vibrate their wings.

“Squeak…”

“Squeak…”

This special sound became one and the noise was very loud.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

In the Mantis Tribe, a warrior shouted loudly, and then the entire Mantis Tribe exploded, and many warriors rushed out with weapons.

"Chief, we've been discovered!"

Fengcao looked nervously at the giant mantises in front of him.

Jiang Xuan's expression also changed. He didn't expect that these giant mantises could actually give warnings.

"run!"

Jiang Xuan turned around and ran with Fengcao. If he didn't run any longer, he would be surrounded.

“Puff, puff, puff…”

Hundreds of giant mantises immediately spread their wings and chased after them. The scene was terrifying.

“Whoosh!”

Jiang Xuan pulled out a short spear from his back, turned around and threw it out.

“Puff…”

The short spear carried such a terrifying force that it pierced through two giant mantises in succession. The giant mantises behind them all dodged.

But there were too many giant mantises, and this spear could only slightly slow down their pursuit speed.

Jiang Xuan ran very fast, but Feng Cao was not as strong as him after all. After running at full speed for a while, his speed slowed down.

Seeing this, Jiang Xuan immediately grabbed her hand and continued running with her.

After a while, the two finally returned to where Tangyuan was.

"Quick, go up."

Jiang Xuan first let Fengcao climb onto Tangyuan's back, then pushed the tourist up, and then he jumped up and jumped onto Tangyuan's back.

At this time, a swarm of giant mantises had already chased over, and the forest not far away was also filled with noise.

Jiang Xuan urged: "Tangyuan, hurry up!"

"Eer..."

Tangyuan's powerful legs first contracted quickly, then he suddenly pushed off the ground, spread his wings and flew into the sky.

Jiang Xuan looked back and saw those big mantises flying around on the ground, but they didn't dare to chase Tangyuan anymore.

In the forest, members of the Mantis Tribe also rushed out, but they could only watch Tangyuan leave.

"It's the big bird!"

"It's the tribe from yesterday. They're here to find us!"

"What do they want to do?"

The warriors of the Mantis Tribe were discussing in a lively manner.

"Stop arguing!"

The leader of the Mantis Tribe roared, intimidating the warriors.

"Go back and strengthen the guard. With the Mantis God here, they'll be courting death if they dare to come!"

After saying this, the leader of the Mantis Tribe walked back first.

In fact, he had a bad feeling in his heart. The heavy cavalry of the Teng tribe left a deep impression on him. He even regretted stealing the prey from the Teng tribe.

But at this point, there is no other way but to prepare for battle.

…

"Chief, we have been discovered. What should we do now? Should we go back?"

In the sky, Fengcao asked Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "We haven't found out the situation of the Mantis Tribe yet. It would be a waste of time if we go back now."

"Although they can't enter that forest, they still have to go out hunting. If they find a chance to capture a few people, they can still find out the situation of the Mantis Tribe."

Feng Cao's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, why didn't I think of that."

Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "Find a safe place to land and then capture them."

The glutinous rice ball flew around and finally landed halfway up a mountain.

Jiang Xuan still kept the tourist and took Fengcao to catch people.

Winter is approaching, and every tribe is frantically hoarding food, including the Mantis Tribe.

They had to send most of the people in the tribe out, and the weaker ones had to look for wild fruits and dig edible plants near the tribe.

The stronger ones formed hunting teams to hunt various wild animals to obtain the fur, meat and bones needed for making tools in winter.

Jiang Xuan’s target is those hunting teams that run farther away.

As long as we catch two of them and bring them back to the Teng tribe, there are plenty of ways to make them talk.

The place where Tangyuan landed was not too far from the Mantis Tribe, nor too close, so there would definitely be hunting teams coming.

After Jiang Xuan and Fengcao entered the forest, they began to look for various clues.

Half a day later, they tracked down a hunting team from the Mantis Tribe and followed them quietly.

This hunting team was hunting some wild boars, with dozens of giant praying mantises flying around to help.

While everyone's attention was on the wild boar, Jiang Xuan prepared a piece of animal skin and poured some medicinal powder on it.

This powder was given to him by Chishao. It is made from some special herbs. Once a person inhales it, they will immediately fall into a coma.

Jiang Xuan quietly walked behind a Mantis Tribe warrior standing on the periphery, and suddenly covered his mouth and nose with the animal skin soaked in medicine powder.

“Wuwuwu…”

The warrior from the Mantis tribe opened his eyes wide and struggled a few times, then he inhaled a lot of powder. His eyes rolled back and he passed out.

After Jiang Xuan knocked down a man, Feng Cao, who was standing nearby, immediately carried the man away, took him to a far place, and tied him up with a rope.

Afterwards, Jiang Xuan did the same thing and found an opportunity to knock down another warrior from the Mantis Tribe, and carried him to the woods to meet Fengcao.

"Let's go back to the tribe."

Jiang Xuan tied the man up, and then he and Feng Cao each carried an unconscious Mantis Tribe warrior and quickly left the forest.

Although Fengcao is a woman, she is now also a two-color warrior, so carrying a person and running away is nothing.

After they left, the hunting team of the Mantis Tribe took great effort to kill five big wild boars, and some of the wild boars ran away.

When they tied up the wild boar and were about to carry it back, they found that two people were missing.

"Where are the people?"

The hunting leader was confused and didn't understand what was going on.

"What are you all standing there for? Go find it!"

Following the roar of the hunting captain, the hunting team of the Mantis Tribe immediately dispersed to search for the two missing people.

Not long after, someone found two stone spears fallen on the ground.

"Chief, their spears are here."

The hunting leader looked at the two stone spears in front of him and frowned deeply.

The tribesmen would never drop their weapons unless they encountered irresistible danger.

Now that the spear has been dropped, the man is probably in great danger.

"Keep looking for people!"

The hunting leader led people to search for a while, but found nothing, not even a trace of blood.

Going out hunting is inherently a very dangerous thing. Whether you encounter ferocious beasts, or various dangerous plants, poisonous snakes and insects, you may lose your life.

Since we can't find them, we have to assume that they are dead.

"go back!"

The hunting leader walked back in a bad mood, and the others could only follow him carrying the prey.

On the other side, Fengcao and Jiang Xuan had already brought the two unconscious captives back to the mountain.

"Let's go back to the tribe."

It was already evening, and Tangyuan, bathed in the orange-red sunlight, flew towards the Teng tribe carrying five people.
