Black Armor was walking slowly in the forest by the river with a big crocodile, scaring the animals along the way and making them flee.
His eyes kept searching the woods, hoping to find a suitable place to settle down and stop wandering.
For the members of the crocodile tribe, the best habitat is the forest near the river, because once a situation occurs, they can ride on the big crocodiles and quickly escape to the river waters, gaining a natural advantage.
Heijia was no exception. He kept moving forward along the river bank. After walking for about half a day, he finally found a place he liked.
However, when he walked over, he found that the place was already occupied by tourists.
No one knew where these tourists came from. The wooden houses they built were large and sturdy, and they were well hidden. They were completely different from the shabby thatched houses that ordinary tourists lived in.
"This house is nice and has a good location. I will live here from now on."
Heijia looked around the wooden house, nodded with satisfaction, and then swaggered forward with the crocodile and pushed open the door of the wooden house.
Inside the wooden house, three tourists stood up from the fire pit, picked up wooden and stone spears in a panic, and stared at the black armor at the door and the scary crocodile behind him.
One of the tourists held a stone spear and asked calmly, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Hei Jia said nonchalantly: "From today on, this place belongs to me. If you don't want to die, take your things and get out immediately."
"you……"
The three tourists were very angry. They had built the wooden house with great difficulty, but someone came to rob it. If they were someone with a bad temper, they would probably have wanted to fight to the death.
However, when they noticed the five warrior patterns on Black Armor's face and the huge crocodile, no matter how angry they were, they could only suppress it in humiliation.
A five-color warrior and a ferocious beast are definitely not something they can resist, and resistance will only result in losing their lives in vain.
Finally, the three tourists quietly packed up their things, lowered their heads and left the cabin.
"You're smart."
Heijia snorted coldly, then walked into the wooden house proudly and inspected the new wooden house he had stolen.
There was not only a fire pit in the wooden house, but also a bed made of wood on the ground. The bed was covered with a lot of soft moss and hay, and a layer of worn animal skin. It was very comfortable.
Hei Jia lay on the bed and tried it out, then said with emotion: "These tourists are not completely useless. The houses are well built and the beds are comfortable."
Heijia added a few pieces of dry wood into the fire pit, then lay down on the bed to rest comfortably, relieving the fatigue from days of escape.
The big crocodile also slowly crawled into the nearby waters, keeping an eye on its surroundings while closing its eyes and taking a nap.
…
On the other side, the three tourists who were driven away walked into the forest for a while, and when they were away from the black armor, they stopped one after another. The anger and fear on their faces disappeared, and all three of them looked excited.
"Is he the one the chief is looking for?"
"It should be him, the Five Color Warrior, with a big crocodile, easy to identify."
"We've been looking for him for so long, but I didn't expect him to show up on his own. Go and inform Chief Fengcao."
It turned out that these three people were members of the Thorn Vine group of the Vine Tribe, and they had been active in this area disguised as tourists for some time.
After Jiang Xuan's order was issued, they temporarily put aside their original tasks and went looking for Black Armor. After searching for several days, they still couldn't find any trace of Black Armor.
Unexpectedly, Black Armor was delivered to my door today. It was such a pleasant surprise.
The three of them had a quick conversation for a while, then sent one person to notify Fengcao, and the other two took turns keeping an eye on Heijia, making sure to keep track of his movements at all times.
“Gah…”
The person in charge of the notification went into the forest, found a bird of prey, and then rode the bird quickly towards the nearby thorn vine contact point.
At this time, the giant dragonflies of the Vine Tribe had just entered the central part and had not yet begun to reproduce. Even the thorn vines had not been allocated many, and most people still had to ride on birds of prey to deliver messages.
However, the advantage of birds of prey is that they are not affected by the climate and are relatively stealthy when moving in the forest. They are not as conspicuous as giant dragonflies flying in the sky. So each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
A day later, Fengcao got the news of finding Black Armor through the transmission of information among the members of the Thorn Vine team.
"finally found you!"
Fengcao's eyes became murderous, and his whole temperament changed greatly, like a sword drawn from its sheath.
However, even at this time, Fengcao still maintained absolute rationality and did not directly lead people to kill Heijia.
"Black Armor is a Five-Color Warrior. He is proficient in archery, and with the help of the big crocodile, his combat power is much stronger than that of an ordinary Five-Color Warrior. If we can't kill him quickly, there will be a lot of casualties."
Fengcao thought carefully for a moment, and finally decided to inform Jiang Xuan, and let Jiang Xuan personally deal with Heijia.
The second fleet of the Teng tribe has arrived at the new territory in the central part. Jiang Xuan is directing the construction of the new territory, so it is relatively easy to find him.
Fengcao did what he said and immediately rode his raptor to the new territory to look for Jiang Xuan.
At this time, Jiang Xuan was discussing the iron smelting matters with the soldiers in charge of smelting.
Iron is a material that is stronger and more durable than bronze. It plays a vital role in the development of the Teng tribe in the central region, and it must be refined as soon as possible.
However, the temperature required for smelting iron is much higher than that for smelting bronze, and both the smelting furnace and the fuel need to be improved.
As for iron ore, you only need to trade it with the Bamboo Rat Tribe. Before other tribes discovered its value, almost no one competed with the Vine Tribe for this thing.
In addition to iron ore, Jiang Xuan will also send people to carefully look for coal mines. If coal can be found, not only can a durable fuel be obtained, but iron and steel smelting will also be more efficient.
Jiang Xuan said to Jing Jie, "Tomorrow you take your people to the Bamboo Rat Tribe by water and trade with them for a batch of iron ore. Also, ask them if they have ever seen the shiny black stone. If we can find coal in the Bamboo Rat Tribe, it will save us a lot of effort."
"Yes, Chief!"
Jingjie realized the importance of the matter and agreed solemnly.
Jiang Xuan wanted to explain in more detail, but when he saw Fengcao walking towards him in a hurry, he asked Jingjie to make preparations first, then waved to Fengcao and asked her to follow him to the new residence in the central area.
Since the construction here had just begun and the bricks and tiles had not yet started to be fired, Jiang Xuan also lived in a wooden house, but it was a little bigger than the ones others lived in.
After entering the wooden house, Jiang Xuan closed the door and looked at Feng Cao: "Any new information?"
"Chief, our people have found Black Armor!"
Afterwards, Feng Cao recounted to Jiang Xuan all the information he had obtained.
Jiang Xuan's eyes gleamed: "Very good, let me solve this disaster myself!"
Jiang Xuan immediately took his weapons and belongings, and then said to Feng Cao: "You lead the way, we will ride Tangyuan to find him!"
"yes!"
Fengcao followed Jiang Xuan out, feeling very excited.
After walking to the wide area outside, Jiang Xuan took out the bone whistle and blew a few times towards the sky.
"Eeyore!"
Soon, a huge purple eagle cried out on a distant hilltop, and then flew towards this side quickly.
“Boom!”
The purple eagle landed on the ground, then lowered its body and stretched out a wing.
"Walk!"
Jiang Xuan held the wind grass in one hand, tapped the huge wings of the purple eagle with light steps, and then landed on its broad back.
"Hold on tight."
Jiang Xuan turned around and reminded Feng Cao, then patted Tang Yuan's feathers: "Let's go!"
“Huff…”
Tangyuan flapped its huge wings and ran forward quickly. Not long after running, it took advantage of the wind to fly up, circling in the air, flying higher and higher.
Fengcao sat behind Jiang Xuan, listening to the whistling wind in her ears and looking at the scenery below that was getting smaller and smaller. Even with her usually calm mentality, her heart was still filled with waves.
After reaching high altitude, Jiang Xuan asked Fengcao to identify the direction of the black armor, and then guided Tangyuan to fly there at a very fast speed.
At this time, Hei Jia was still feeling smug about having snatched a new wooden house in a good location, not knowing that death was about to come. (End of this chapter)
