Chapter 279 Moving Forward

The Piranha Plant is colorful and beautiful. Normally, the tribesmen would avoid it from a distance. However, this time, the Piranha Plant hid itself in a dense bush, which tricked the warriors who were familiar with it.

As Chief Stone dug, he finally saw the deep purple rhizome of the Piranha Plant.

"Get ready to pick someone up."

Chief Stone said, and stabbed the dagger in his hand into the rhizome with all his strength.

"Puff."

The deep purple liquid flowed out, and the high neck of the Piranha Plant shook violently, swaying back and forth like dancing, and then the warrior who was swallowed was suddenly vomited out.

The two warriors who were ready to catch him immediately set off and ran towards the place where he fell.

"You retreat first, I'll be the last."

Chief Stone shouted, and with his right hand he had already pulled out all the arrows from the quiver, soaked the stone arrow heads in the purple liquid, and then put them back into the quiver.

This liquid has a strong stunning effect. Once it enters the human body or the blood of wild animals, it can make people faint in an instant. It is a rare material.

If it weren't for the fact that a team member was swallowed by the Piranha Plant this time, it would be necessary to stimulate its roots to make it spit out the team member. Normally, the hunting team doesn't like to provoke it. What

's even more tragic about this Piranha Plant is that it only has one bud, which means it can only attack one person, so no one was attacked.

If you encounter a cluster of Piranha Plants, that would be a dead end. The warriors dare not enter at all. Even if they are a beast that can knock down three or five totem warriors, they will die if they are trapped in it.

While the others were retreating, Chief Stone kept whipping the roots of the Piranha Plant, preventing it from attacking others. When

the warriors all retreated, Ran immediately led his men to throw stones and sticks at the Piranha Plant's buds to harass it. Chief Stone took this opportunity to escape.

"Send him back. He can't keep up with the team."

Everyone gathered together again, and Captain Ran suggested.

At this time, the warrior who was swallowed and vomited out was in a coma. It would take a whole night for him to wake up. It was obviously not suitable for him to continue moving forward.

Chief Stone raised his head through the gap between the tree canopies and peeked at the position of the sun outside.

"It's dangerous in the jungle at night. Let's rest here and continue our journey tomorrow."

Captain Ran thought about it and agreed with Chief Stone's idea.

First, to send this person back, at least two totem warriors will be needed to protect him, which will reduce the team's strength by nearly half.

And it will be dark soon. No matter whether they are retreating or advancing, they must find a safe place to rest and wait for dawn to continue. In this case, it is better to stay where they are.

When staying in the jungle, the first choice is a safe house set up in advance. For example, on Line 3 where they came, there are several tree holes that serve as safe houses.

When sleeping at night, you can block the hole of the safe house with stones. This kind of tree hole is specially set up with a small entrance and a large belly. It is very easy to block and very safe to spend the night.

In the absence of a safe house, the tree crown becomes the first choice.

There are often ferocious beasts foraging in the jungle at night. If you choose to be on the ground, you must be prepared for a field battle. In the treetops, apart from some snakes and birds, there are few other ferocious beasts.

And it is also easy for the person in charge of night duty. He only needs to guard a little below the treetops to basically protect the safety of the comrades sleeping in the entire treetops.

If you want to be more serious, there will be another guard above everyone. One up and one down is enough, unlike below, where at least four people are needed to protect everyone.

They chose a large treetop and climbed up. It is not suitable to light a fire in the jungle, so they can only eat frozen fish.

For the warriors, they are already familiar with this way of survival, but they are still a little uncomfortable after entering the jungle so deep.

The night slowly came, and many warriors couldn't sleep. From time to time, they could hear the beasts panting and passing under the trees, which made them instinctively stay alert.

This night was relatively safe. In the second half of the night, some beast discovered them and beat them under the tree for a while.

Captain Ran once thought that the big tree would be broken by the beast. If it weren't for Chief Shi waving his hand to him, he would have almost let his teammates move on the tree crown.

You know, this is a very dangerous move, which is likely to attract more beasts, even beasts that can climb trees. He dare not imagine how bad the scene would be.

This made him unable to sleep well the rest of the night. On the contrary, Chief Stone waved his hand to him and then went to sleep quietly. No matter how the tree trunk shook, he remained motionless.

When the first ray of sunlight shone down in the morning, Chief Stone opened his eyes. He did not sleep well that night, but at least it was better than other warriors. This was determined by his mentality.

"Are you still down there?"

Chief Stone asked.

Captain Ran, who had not slept all night, shook his head: "He left before dawn."

"Is the warrior awake?"

Captain Ran knew that he was asking about the injured one, and nodded to indicate that he was awake.

"Eat something and get ready to go."

After making sure that there was no problem, Chief Stone took out the dried fish from his arms and shared it with Captain Ran.

He could see that Captain Ran had not slept all night, but for the totem warrior, this was not a big problem.

Compared to ordinary people, the totem warriors are more energetic.

After dinner, everyone descended from the treetops one by one and continued to move westward.

At this time, there was no road at all. Every step they took forward was a new exploration. Some warriors were even responsible for marking secret codes on the trees.

Marking secret codes meant that someone had walked there, but whether it was safe or not was not confirmed. Only when a path was walked three times in a row within a month without encountering danger could it be determined as a safe route.

At present, this path was obviously not suitable.

In the morning, they saw a snoring rhino. Although this herbivore does not have a strong sense of territory, if it sees them when awake, it will inevitably fight.

The crowd did not dare to wake it up, bypassed the snoring rhino, continued to move forward, and marked the danger on the road, and everyone continued to move forward.

During the lunch break, Chief Shi and Captain Ran determined the direction to move forward. This required climbing to the highest tree crown nearby to look far away, and they had to make sure there was no danger before doing it.

After adjusting the route forward, they discussed several emergency plans, but everything could only be regarded as precautionary measures. Neither of them knew what kind of ferocious beast they would encounter ahead.

If they walked in a straight line and accelerated at full speed, they would reach the destination in half a day, but no one dared to suggest such an idea.

The closer you get to the green meteorite, the more ferocious beasts there are. This is a consensus among the Fire Tribe people, and no one objects to this.

The next road will only be more dangerous than before, and the two must be more careful.
