Chapter 71: Enemies Meet in a Narrow Road
In the giant mushroom forest, a team of seventy or eighty people was slowly advancing.
After entering the giant mushroom forest, the two mountain turtles as big as hills walked in the front, one in front and one behind.
Mountain tortoises do not walk in a straight line, they move in zigzags, accurately avoiding those giant mushrooms that are deadly.
Thanks to the presence of the mountain turtle, the team walked a long way in the giant mushroom forest without anyone being attacked or poisoned.
On a big tree outside the giant mushroom forest, Jiang Xuan was watching in amazement.
"I've heard that some tribes would tame some very powerful war pets, and those war pets are usually the same kind as the tribe's totem gods."
"Those two big mountain turtles should be the war pets of this tribe. Could it be that the totem god of this tribe is an old mountain turtle?"
The more Jiang Xuan thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, because not only did they carry two mountain turtles, but the three people in the lead were also carrying thick turtle shells on their backs.
Even the dark green totem patterns on their faces, after Jiang Xuan observed them from a distance for a while, he found that they were also painted to look like mountain turtles.
"It seems that this tribe is very familiar with this mushroom forest, but I don't know what they can get from it."
Jiang Xuan was very curious about this. Could it be that, as the Teng tribe warriors had discussed before, they were carrying a few giant mushrooms back to eat? While Jiang Xuan was observing and guessing, he suddenly heard a faint buzzing sound.
This sound once lingered in his mind like a nightmare and could not be shaken off for a long time.
Because of this, he is very sensitive to this sound.
"Bird-mouthed mosquito, mosquito tribe!"
Jiang Xuan's eyes suddenly became sharp. He had not forgotten that he was forced into a desperate situation by the Mosquito Tribe.
If it weren't for the final intervention of the divine vine and the giant dragonfly, the Vine Tribe would probably have ceased to exist long ago.
Jiang Xuan searched for a while along the sound, and with his extraordinary eyesight, he soon found a mosquito flying around outside the mushroom forest.
The place where this bird-billed mosquito is located is exactly where the tribesmen with the mountain turtles entered the mushroom forest just now.
Before long, more bird-billed mosquitoes appeared. The sound of their flapping wings was so penetrating that it made people feel upset.
Afterwards, hundreds of warriors from the Mosquito Tribe appeared one after another. They gathered together stealthily, looking into the mushroom forest, and no one knew what they wanted to do.
"What a narrow road the enemy meets!"
Jiang Xuan looked at the warriors of the Bird-billed Mosquito and Mosquito Tribes, and his eyes became very cold.
But he was very clear that if the few people he brought with him had a head-on conflict with the people of the Mosquito Tribe, he would probably be hanging himself - he would not live long enough.
"It seems that these people from the Mosquito Tribe are also coming for the Mushroom Forest, or in other words, they are following those people with the mountain turtles."
"What on earth is there in this place that is worth so many people taking the risk to come here?"
Jiang Xuan thought for a moment and said, "No matter what they come for, we can't let the Mosquito Tribe get what they want easily!"
Fortunately, the Mosquito Tribe and those people with mountain turtles are in the open, while Jiang Xuan and the warriors of the Vine Tribe are in the dark. Although they may not be able to defeat them in a head-on confrontation, it is still easy to cause trouble for them secretly.
Jiang Xuan continued to observe while thinking about how to create some trouble for the people of the Mosquito Tribe.
He discovered that the people from the Mosquito Tribe had been wandering outside the Mushroom Forest for a long time but did not dare to go in directly. Finally, they chose to hide on the outskirts, probably hoping to wait and see.
Jiang Xuan thought about it and quickly climbed down from the tree.
After returning to the ground, Jiang Xuan waved his hand, called the eight warriors, and whispered: "The people from the Mosquito Tribe are here!"
This simple sentence made the warriors of the Vine Tribe nervous. Only Jingjie looked a little confused because he had never encountered the Mosquito Tribe before.
Shi Qiu held his bow tightly and asked, "Chief, do you want to fight?"
Jiang Xuan shook his head and said, "I roughly counted them. They have hundreds of warriors and dozens of bird-billed mosquitoes. We can't defeat them with so few people."
"So what should we do?"
Everyone looked at Jiang Xuan, waiting for his decision.
Jiang Xuan said: "I just saw a group of people in the tree, following two big mountain turtles into the mushroom forest. The people from the Mosquito Tribe should have followed them here."
"Now, the people of the Mosquito Tribe are hiding outside the Mushroom Forest. They should be trying to ambush those people with the mountain turtles."
"As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Let's sneak over now and find a chance to help those people with the mountain turtles."
"Follow me, and walk lightly."
Jiang Xuan waved his hand, then walked in front holding the bone spear.
Shiqiu, Jingjie and others immediately followed, moving forward cautiously, trying not to make any noise while walking.
Soon after, they successfully reached the side of the Mosquito Tribe's hideout, hiding in the dense bushes.
At this time, in front of them was the hiding place of the Mosquito Tribe, on the right was the mushroom forest, and on the left was the dense jungle. This location was very convenient for running anywhere.
Jiang Xuan's eyes searched the area where the Mosquito Tribe warriors were hiding, and he soon found a lot of bird-billed mosquitoes lying on the trees.
When these bird-billed mosquitoes are not flying, they like to hide in the shadows, and it is not easy to find them without careful observation.
"Everyone go up to the tree and be careful."
Jiang Xuan climbed up a big tree again, and the others followed closely behind.
The reason for choosing to climb trees is that there are many plants in the jungle and the visibility on the ground is very poor. The trees not only have a good view, but are also easy to hide and are conducive to attacking distant targets.
Jiang Xuan sat on the fork of a thick branch and continued to observe the people from the Mosquito Tribe.
There was a faint scent of mushrooms coming from afar, which was quite pleasant. After smelling it for a long time, I felt very hungry.
Jiang Xuan took out a piece of dried meat and chewed it slowly.
This kind of dried meat is pickled with salt and can easily satisfy hunger and replenish salt. It is one of the dry foods that the Teng tribe hunting team must bring when going out.
"Hey, is that... a hornet's nest?"
Suddenly, Jiang Xuan discovered that in the forest where the Mosquito Tribe warriors were hiding, there was a very large hornet's nest growing on the top of a big tree.
This hornet's nest is located on a tree branch. It is yellowish-brown in color, with layers of scaly patterns on the surface. It is almost as big as a small house.
At the bottom of the hornet's nest, there is a very thick hole. Outside the hole, there are two giant hornets, crawling around the nest and flying up from time to time, like two soldiers guarding the gate.
This giant hornet has a golden head, black rings of markings on its body, is more than half a meter long, and has a terrifying black stinger at the tail.
Jiang Xuan stared at the hornet's nest and the giant hornets that flew up from time to time, and thought of the Mosquito Tribe warriors hiding in the woods, and suddenly he had an idea.
Jiang Xuan beckoned Shi Qiu over, pointed at the giant hornet's nest, and whispered, "Can your arrow hit that big hornet's nest?"
The hornet's nest was a big target and not too far away. Shi Qiu nodded and said, "No problem."
"Okay, find a position that's best for archery, and when I ask you to shoot later, you'll shoot through that hornet's nest!"
Shi Qiu said: "It is possible to hit the hornet's nest, but the hornet's nest is too big and the arrow is too small. Even if it is hit, I am afraid it will have little effect on the hornet's nest."
“That makes sense.”
Jiang Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Wait for me here."
After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, he climbed down the tree quietly and dived into the woods.
After a while, Jiang Xuan appeared again, climbed up the tree, came to the side of the loach, and took out a small pottery jar from the animal skin bag.
"Put the arrowhead in the pottery jar and soak it for a while."
Jiang Xuan opened the lid of the pottery jar, and an unpleasant odor immediately filled the air.
"Is this, stinky grass?" Stone Loach widened his eyes.
"Not only that, I also added several kinds of strong-tasting grasses in it. It's definitely stimulating enough."
"Just think about it, if the arrowhead is soaked in this juice and shot into a hornet's nest, will the giant hornets get angry when they smell such a pungent smell?"
The stone loach looked at the pottery jar, then looked at the hornet's nest, and shivered involuntarily.
This thing might attract a whole nest of giant hornets.
Shi Qiu thought again of the Mosquito Tribe warriors under the hornet's nest, and he finally understood what Jiang Xuan was planning.
It has to be said that this idea is really too damaging, but since it is against the Mosquito Tribe, Shiqiu feels that it is justified.
He immediately soaked the arrowheads of the ten feather arrows in a pottery jar, allowing the strong smell to fully permeate the arrowheads.
Next, just wait patiently for the opportunity.
Thanks to the book friend "I'm so high" for the reward of 3,000 book coins.
