Chapter 36: Sneak Attack on Chencang
Jiang Xuan rushed outside and found that a dozen giant mosquitoes had flown over the bamboo house and were circling around.
In the southern forest, more than fifty Mosquito Tribe warriors have appeared, and the tiger mosquito in the lead is looking coldly at the Vine Tribe.
The Mosquito Tribe hunting team has more than twenty uniform warriors and more than thirty ordinary warriors with rich hunting experience. The leader Tiger Mosquito is a powerful three-color warrior. The overall strength is very strong.
On the other hand, the Teng tribe only had five warriors of the same color and twelve visitors, and was at an absolute disadvantage.
Gan Song could not be considered a real warrior because his arm was broken, but he held a stone spear and stood resolutely with Jiang Xuan and others.
Tiger Mosquito looked at the totem pattern of the Teng tribe on the boulder and sneered, "With just these few people and two shabby houses, you can still call it a tribe?"
The Mosquito Tribe warrior next to him echoed, "Exactly. I thought there was a big tribe here. I didn't expect it to be just a few dreamy tourists. Hahaha..."
The other Mosquito Tribe warriors all laughed. It was obvious that this tribe, which was so small that it couldn't be any smaller, was a joke in their eyes.
When everyone in the Teng tribe heard these words, they were very angry and their eyes were almost bursting with fire.
Jiang Xuan has lived two lives and has heard harsher words, so he behaves calmer than others.
Especially when he noticed the three horizontal lines on Tiger Mosquito's face, he knew that this was a powerful three-color warrior, an enemy they could not defeat at all.
As the saying goes, if you have the green mountains, you will never run out of firewood. Jiang Xuan immediately gave up the idea of fighting to the death and started thinking about how to escape.
It was definitely not an option to just run away. They were standing in an open space. If they dared to turn around and run, the people from the Mosquito Tribe would attack them with spears, and the people from the Vine Tribe would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
We must find a way to delay them and get into the bamboo forest to have a chance to escape to the foot of the stone mountain and seek shelter from the ancient vines.
The only thing Jiang Xuan was unsure about was the attack range of the ancient vine, so the closer he was to the stone mountain, the safer he would be in theory.
While Jiang Xuan was trying to find a way to escape, Hu Wen was also looking at Jiang Xuan and the others.
Hu Wen discovered that the people of this small tribe were actually quite strong, and did not have the pale and thin complexion caused by long-term hunger.
He immediately concluded that this small tribe must have a lot of food hidden.
He didn't care where the food came from, as long as he could get it.
Tiger Mosquito said coldly: "Hand over all your food to the Mosquito Tribe, and I will consider not killing you."
When they heard that they had to hand over all their food, the people of the Teng tribe became anxious.
For the tribesmen, food is their lifeblood, and asking them to hand it all over is more painful than killing them.
Those who have not experienced long-term hunger cannot understand the tribal people's obsession with food.
However, Jiang Xuan immediately said, "Okay, as long as you don't kill anyone, I can give you the food."
Gan Song said anxiously: "Chief, we can't leave it to them!"
Jiang Xuan held Gan Song's hand, looked at him, and whispered, "Believe me!"
Gan Song gritted his teeth and finally took a step back, but he held the stone spear in his hand even tighter.
Hu Wen took a look at the young Jiang Xuan and said contemptuously, "Boy, are you the leader?"
"Yes, I am the leader of the Teng tribe." Jiang Xuan answered calmly.
A warrior from the Mosquito Tribe laughed and said, "Tourists are tourists. They choose a young boy as their leader. Hahahaha..."
The other Mosquito Tribe warriors also laughed as if they had heard a huge joke.
Hu Wen observed the expressions of the other people in the Teng tribe and found that they were actually all looking at Jiang Xuan. It was obvious that Jiang Xuan was not lying.
Tiger Mosquito said: "Since you are the leader, hand over all the food you have here."
Tiger Mosquito stared at Jiang Xuan like a venomous snake, and said word by word: "Remember, I am talking about all the food. If I find out that you have hidden the food, all of you will die!"
"Of course, the food is in the bamboo house. I'll take them to move it out."
Jiang Xuan agreed to Hu Weng's request without hesitation, then waved his hand and asked everyone to retreat into the bamboo house. He himself did not dare to turn around. He could only look at the people of the Mosquito Tribe and retreat step by step.
The people of the Teng tribe were a little hesitant. At the critical moment, Chishao stood up and said to everyone, "Listen to the leader."
Everyone looked at each other, and finally chose to believe Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao. They retreated and entered the bamboo house.
Hu Wen stood where he was, watching the people of the Teng tribe retreat into the bamboo houses one by one at a leisurely pace.
Then, Tiger Mosquito waved his hand, and more than fifty warriors of the Mosquito Tribe quickly surrounded the bamboo house, leaving them no chance to escape.
In the bamboo house, sixteen pairs of eyes were looking at Jiang Xuan, waiting for Jiang Xuan's next instructions.
Jiang Xuan glanced outside and urged in a low voice, "Tunnel, dig a tunnel!"
Hearing Jiang Xuan's words, Chishao and others' eyes suddenly lit up.
They actually forgot about the escape tunnel they had dug earlier.
More than two months ago, Jiang Xuan was worried that the tribe would be attacked, so he dug a tunnel in the bamboo house as a precaution.
At first, the tunnel was not deep and could only hide people. Later, Jiang Xuan felt that it was not safe, so he continued to dig deeper, leading directly to the bamboo forest in front of the stone mountain.
The entrance to the tunnel was right under the bamboo bed in the small room where Chishao slept. If you didn't lift up the bamboo bed, you couldn't find it at all.
"Come with me."
Chishao grabbed a torch and lit it in the fire pit. Then he ran into the room and lifted up the bamboo bed, revealing a dark tunnel entrance.
Without hesitation, she entered the tunnel holding the torch and waved to the tourists to follow.
Uncaria rhynchophylla, Gastrodia elata and Arisaema confusa also took a torch respectively, lit it, and entered the tunnel one after another.
Jiang Xuan was the last one to enter the tunnel. He put the bamboo bed down again and covered the entrance to the tunnel.
The group passed through a long tunnel and directly entered the dense bamboo forest. After coming out of another tunnel entrance, they quickly ran towards the stone mountain.
On the other side, Tiger Mosquito waited outside for a while and found that there was no movement inside, so he immediately became suspicious.
"Go in and take a look!"
As soon as Hu Wen waved his hand, two hunting team warriors immediately rushed into the bamboo house.
However, when they found that there was no one in the bamboo house, they were stunned.
One of them immediately ran outside the bamboo house and shouted, "Leader, there's no one inside!"
"impossible!"
Hu Wen simply didn't believe that anyone could escape when they were surrounded by so many enemies. He rushed into the bamboo house with a stone knife in his hand.
Everything seemed normal in the bamboo house. The fire in the fire pit was still burning, and there was even a lot of smoked meat hanging above the fire pit.
But there was no one there. The people of the Teng tribe seemed to have suddenly evaporated, and not even a trace could be seen.
Tiger Mosquito was in disbelief at first, then he jumped into a rage: "Find them, find them for me!"
The Mosquito Tribe warriors outside also rushed in and overturned everything in the bamboo house, even the bamboo beds.
During the carpet-style search, the bamboo bed in Chishao's room was also lifted up, and the entrance to the tunnel was exposed to them.
"Chief, there is a hole here!" The person who first discovered the tunnel immediately reported.
Tiger Mosquito immediately ran over, looked at the dark hole, and said with gritted teeth: "So he escaped through the hole!"
Tiger Mosquito felt the humiliation of being made fun of, and this feeling made him very uncomfortable.
"Chase and kill all these damn tourists!"
"yes!"
Led by Tiger Mosquito, the Mosquito Tribe warriors took some burning wood from the fire pit and entered the tunnel. They chased down with gritted teeth and vowed to kill all the people from the Vine Tribe.
Thanks to the book friend "Yi Zhongren" for the reward.
