The little fox was agile and moved quickly, returning to the Sharp Tooth Tribe on the night of five days later.
It knew the fish, so it darted straight into the fish's room. The fish and the grass had already gone to bed, but the sudden movement startled them. The sight of the animal's eyes flashing fluorescently in the darkness was so startling that they immediately reached for the dagger hidden on the kang.
The baby cried out.
"It's the little fox raised by the messenger of God." Cao reacted and pushed the fish lightly.
By this time, the fish's eyes had adapted to the darkness, and he could roughly tell that it was the "baby" raised by the messenger of God. He quickly jumped off the kang and came to the baby.
Before the messenger left, he told me that if there was anything important, he would let the baby come back to deliver the message. Now that the baby suddenly appears, something must have happened!
Sure enough, he felt a rope around the little fox's neck, with a red snowflake and a piece of wood-like object hanging from it.
Red means danger!
He did not dare to be careless, and quickly took out the burning firewood from the kang and lit a ceramic brazier in the middle of the room. After confirming the color of the snowflake again and again by the firelight, he carefully checked the piece of wood.
There was a drawing on it with black charcoal. Yu looked at it for a long time, but wondered how could that be... the wall of a tribe?
The messenger of God made the little fox run back from so far away, and even used red snowflakes to represent danger. This couldn't be meaningless, he thought with a frown.
"What's wrong?" After feeding the little fox some food and water, Cao sat next to the fish and asked.
Fish explained the situation, and Grass, being a quick-witted and intelligent person, quickly figured out the reasoning: "The messenger must be telling us that the unfinished wall is dangerous. So, he must be telling us to finish the wall quickly!"
Yu nodded. He had guessed the same thing, but he was afraid that he would be wrong and cause trouble.
Cao consoled him, "Don't worry. With our leader, we'll have no problem fighting. Even if the enemy is too numerous, we still have horses. The Dama tribe has survived thanks to horses. How can two legs possibly outsmart four? The messenger of God specifically delivered this message, it must be very important. We must act tomorrow."
Yu thought about it and felt relieved.
The little fox successfully conveyed the message to the fish. Wu Yue and the others were also busy. Dozens of people needed clothes and food, but it was so cold that all the animals had hidden themselves, making hunting very inconvenient and yielding little.
After finding out that there were only ten people sent by the Shenyou Tribe to the Yellowstone Tribe, and two of them were killed by the Yellowstone Tribe, Wu Yue decided to let Xiao lead people to fight back.
Although it is a little less, the Yellowstone tribe still has some food and furs in stock. Taking these should be enough for food on the road.
That afternoon, when everyone was eating the small amount of prey that Xiao and his men had brought back, Wu Yue expressed his thoughts.
Of course, the four people from the Sharp Tooth Tribe agreed immediately. The people from the Yellowstone Tribe were afraid of obsidian weapons, but no matter how good the obsidian weapons were, they were made of stone after all. How could they compare to the iron weapons in their hands?
The few people who followed Xiao out hunting witnessed the power of iron weapons, and immediately said that they should fight back.
The fighting power of these few men alone was sufficient, so Wu Yue didn't need to worry about the hesitation of others. The enemy's obsidian weapons were quite powerful. Wu Yue hadn't brought his rattan armor with him this time to free up space. Fortunately, this item was not difficult to make, and there was a ready-made material like bamboo in the space, so he could make it on the spot.
After selecting a few smart and dexterous people from the Huangshi tribe, several people from the Sharp Tooth tribe began to teach them while making rattan armor themselves, no, it should be called bamboo armor.
Bamboo strips can be split neatly and evenly, and the bamboo armor made from them is finer and denser than stone and rattan armor, without such large gaps.
Everyone worked together and soon made ten sets of vine armor. The next day, Xiao led his men back to the Yellowstone Tribe. For safety reasons, Ma Zong did not go and stayed behind to protect Wu Yue.
Ma Zong didn't care at all. He was not a warmonger anyway. His main purpose of following him this time was to protect Wu Yue.
Following a man from the Yellowstone tribe who led the way, Xiao gripped his Tang sword tightly and set off.
It had taken the Yellowstone tribe an entire night to reach this cave from the mountains near their homeland, but that was because they were cold, hungry, and tired, and the light was insufficient. Now that they were well fed, well watered, and warmly dressed, their journey naturally sped up, and they arrived at the Yellowstone homeland in less than half a day.
From a distance, the tribe was quiet, and no one from the God-blessed tribe was to be seen.
"Will they go back to the God-Blessed Tribe to report your escape?" asked Eagle.
Mao shook his head. "I don't think so. Their leader is very fierce and cruel. If we go back like this, they will definitely be punished. I think maybe they are searching for us nearby."
Xiao also shook his head: "No, you have already killed two of them. How could they dare to separate and search? That would be courting death."
Mao thought about it and agreed, but if that was the case, where had the people gone?
Xiao recalled Wu Yue's story and guessed, "You're cold and hungry. If you need food and furs, the best way is to return to the tribe to check. If you see no one in the tribe from a distance, they'll come back looking for furs and food. They can catch you by just waiting quietly in the tribe for you to show up."
Mao was stunned, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was probably the case. Those people from the Blessed Tribe were really cunning!
Xiao wasn't sure his guess was correct, but—
"You'll know if you try it."
In the largest tent of the Yellowstone Tribe, several people huddled together and talked in low voices. They all seemed to be afraid of the cold. They covered themselves with all the furs they could find but were still shivering.
"This damn place is really cold! It's nothing compared to our God-blessed Tribe."
"That's right. Our Divine Blessed Tribe is blessed by God. Even in winter, as long as we enter the Divine Cave, it is warm and comfortable."
"Just bear with it for now. Once we catch those lowly Yellowstone tribesmen, we can start a fire."
"Will they really come back?"
"Humph, if they don't want to freeze to death, they will definitely come back. We just need to keep quiet and don't expose ourselves. When they come back looking for something, we can take action. If we kill a few of them, the rest will behave themselves."
"Huo, you're really smart. You came up with such a good idea..."
"Shh!"
There were sounds of footsteps outside the tribe, and everyone immediately quieted down.
The man called Fire peered out of the tent for a long moment, then concluded, "Five of them, all men, unarmed. Probably sent here to find food."
"Shall we do it?" someone asked.
Huo sneered, "Of course, we'll kill the brave ones first and then catch the timid ones. We'll attack them when they find the other side."
There was food piled up in the tent opposite. They would definitely be happy to see it, so happy that they would let down their guard.
The eight people in the tent waited quietly, holding the spears tightly in their hands. The spearheads were made of black stone, with sharp edges and a strange luster.
Closer and closer.
Just as the Yellowstone tribe members outside discovered the tents where the food was stored and shouted in surprise, and the members of the God-blessed tribe grasped their weapons and prepared to rush out—
Something unexpected happened.
Behind me, there was a sound of a sharp weapon tearing through fur, and someone broke into the tent.
Xiao brought Shan into the tent and without saying a word, he slashed the person closest to him. One of the man's arms was broken immediately and hung on his body, blood gushing out immediately.
The man reacted and started screaming, but he couldn't scream the next second because his neck was cut by Xiao.
At the same time, Shan also stabbed one to death with a spear.
The other members of the Shenyou tribe were shocked and immediately turned around to attack Xiao and Shan, but they did not notice that the people of the Yellowstone tribe not far behind them had taken out iron spears or daggers, rushed over and stabbed them in the back, killing two more people at once.
After losing four of his tribesmen in a very short period of time, Huo suddenly became furious and rushed towards Xiao, holding the spear tightly in his hand.
Xiao scoffed, dodging the blow by leaning sideways, his left arm tightly gripping the spear as he swung the knife in his right hand at the opponent. If the opponent wanted to dodge the blow, he would have to let go of the spear, thus losing his weapon.
However, he did not set off the fire. Instead, he rushed towards Xiao. He rushed too close to Xiao and just avoided the attack range of Tang Dao. He also used his arm to knock Xiao's arm away. At the same time, he let go of the spear, took out something from behind, and stabbed Xiao fiercely!
"Ugh..." Xiao felt a pain in his heart and blood gushed out immediately, but the wound should not be deep.
The pain brought anger, and he raised his leg and kicked the man away with a fierce kick, looking down at his chest. It must be said that the obsidian was indeed powerful, and it pierced through the bamboo armor. However, the bamboo armor was not completely useless, otherwise it would have pierced his heart.
Huo was kicked hard to the ground. He thought the opponent was dead, but he looked like he was fine. Seeing that the sharp obsidian in his hand could not kill him, he was surprised. Just as he stood up and tried to fight again, he was suddenly pierced by a sharp arrow.
Eagle stood not far behind the Yellowstone tribe members, smiled, and put away his bow: "Chief, I saved your life!"
Xiao looked around and found that all the people from the Shenyou tribe were dead. Shan was fine, and the people from the Huangshi tribe who were not wearing bamboo armor only suffered minor injuries. He was the most seriously injured.
Among eight enemies, Shan took down two, Eagle took down three, and the Yellowstone tribe took down two. Not only did he only kill one, but he was also the most seriously injured!
His heart ached, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood!
