Chapter 25 Bad news

Because they were too far away and the light was dim at night, the two could only see a rough outline. After discussing with each other, they decided to take a closer look.

The two lay on the ground and crawled forward. Since they had no clothing to protect them, this position was very uncomfortable for them. After a while, their forearms and thighs were scorchingly painful, but if they didn't do this, they would accidentally do it at such a close distance. If you make a noise, it is very likely to be discovered.

Gritting their teeth and enduring physical discomfort, the two sneaked to a place more than 100 meters away from each other and stopped.

This and the distance are already very dangerous, if they are found, it will be very difficult to escape.

The two lay motionless on the ground, not daring to breathe.

Through the light of the fire, Jianya saw what kind of ceremony was going on in that tribe. A person covered in paint and decorated with feathers in his hair was dancing a strange dance around the fire with a bone stick.

Jianya guessed that it might be a wizard from their tribe. Although his own tribe did not have wizards, there were wizards in other tribes that Jianya had met before, so he was no stranger to them.

Moreover, Jian Ya heard the old patriarch talk about wizards. These people are said to be able to communicate with the gods, and they are the most intelligent in the tribe. In fact, Wang Lang is equivalent to the existence of wizards in the hearts of everyone. People are very respectful, but the next scene completely dumbfounded Jian Ya.

After a sacrificial dance, the sorcerer said something aloud in a language Jian Fang could not understand.

It didn't take long before there was a miserable cry, and the three bound limbs were carried out by several men with wooden sticks like pigs, and thrown at the wizard's feet.

The three captured people were terrified at the moment, their bodies were shaking like chaff, and they kept crying and begging.

The wizard ignored the pleas of these three people. In his eyes, the only use of these people was to use their souls to sacrifice to the gods, and their bodies could be used as food for the clansmen.

The wizard grabbed a man's hair casually and lifted his head up. The man knew that his death was approaching, and began to struggle violently.

But all this was in vain. A sharp stone knife was cut across his neck, and blood gushed out instantly. After a while, due to excessive blood loss, the man's body began to convulse, twitched a few times, and then fell silent. .

The other two saw their companions die in front of their eyes. The fear of death frightened them to the point of tearing their livers and gallbladders, and they struggled violently.

The sorcerer turned the slain man over and laid it flat on the ground, cut open the straw ropes that bound his limbs with a stone knife, took the stone ax handed by the person next to him, cut open the man's chest, and dug out the heart Come out, then cut off the man's genitals and throw them into the fire.

Due to the foreign object thrown into the burning flame, a burst of flames sprang up.

The wizard prostrated devoutly on the ground, chanting words, with a very excited expression, stood up, raised his hands high and shouted "Yakula" to the sky.

Jianya and Huo didn't know what "Yakula" meant, but when they heard that other people in the tribe were excited and kept shouting the word, Jianya guessed that maybe it was the name of their god.

Soon the two people lying on the ground also experienced the fate of their former companions. After the execution of these three people, there was a burst of cheers from the crowd, and the three disemboweled corpses were quickly looted and dismembered. .

Jianya and Huo were sweating profusely. They were not afraid of death, but if they died in this way, the fear in their hearts would involuntarily occupy their bodies.

Soon something happened that made the two of them sink to the bottom of the valley. Several men lifted a wild boar out, and one of them was holding a large net. The wizard took the net and looked at it, then lifted it up. The crowd talked a lot, and then there was a noise from the crowd.

Jian Ya saw that they had discovered his hidden prey, and with the existence of the net, those people would soon realize that there were other tribes nearby, which was definitely a very bad thing for their own tribe.

Jian Ya patted the fire, and whispered: "We must go back quickly, if these people find us, it will be terrible."

Huo also knew the seriousness of the matter, so without saying anything, the two of them quietly left here, regardless of the danger of the jungle at night, and hurried back.

After a night of long-distance raiding, the two rushed back to the tribe in the early morning of the next day, ignoring the rest of the tribe, and hurriedly found Wang Lang.

When Wang Lang saw that the eyes of the two were red and bloodshot, he had an extremely bad feeling in his heart. It made them rush back overnight regardless of the danger, which meant that what happened must be very bad.

Wang Lang took a deep breath, tried not to panic, and said in a deep voice, "You two come with me."

Jian Ya and Huo followed Wang Lang to the cave. Wang Lang filled a bowl of water for them and said, "Drink some water first, and talk slowly."

The two took the bowl, gulped it down, wiped their mouths with their arms, and said, "Lang, we're in trouble."

Wang Lang secretly thought that it was really not a good thing, he sighed lightly and said, "What happened?"

Jian Ya and Huo looked at each other, and finally Huo said: "Yesterday we tracked and found the tribe of those people. They are different from me. I have never seen such a tribe before. They killed those who caught them." Lost the gods who sacrificed to them, and those who died were chopped into pieces mercilessly." Thinking of the terrible scene last night, Huo couldn't help but shudder.

Huo calmed down for a while and continued: "They found our hidden prey and nets."

"What!" Wang Lang exclaimed.

The clansmen who were watching from a distance couldn't hear what they were saying, but when they saw Wang Lang's gaffe, they couldn't help whispering, and the atmosphere of panic spread in the tribe.

Wang Lang walked back and forth short of breath. He didn't expect the situation to be so serious. After the initial panic, Wang Lang gradually calmed down and asked, "How many people are there?"

"Many, although it's not real at night, but the number of people is more than four or five in our tribe." Huo said with some concern.

When Wang Lang heard this number, his head buzzed, and he murmured: "There are so many four or five, that's sixty or seventy people, what should I do, what should I do."

"Lang, what's wrong with you?" Huo couldn't help asking.

Wang Lang didn't answer Huo's words, he kept rubbing his temples, and kept thinking about countermeasures.

Now the tribe counts itself as seven warriors, even if women and children are added together, there are only a dozen of them. With such a small number of people, even if the weapons are more advanced than them, it will not help.

The death of a member on his side would be a very heavy blow to the tribe. The first idea in Wang Lang's mind was to build fortifications along the wall, but this idea was quickly rejected by Wang Lang, let alone whether it was so Even if there is enough time, Wang Lang does not intend to do so. If the enemy attacks them, even if they can use the bow and arrow to do some killing with the help of the wall at the beginning, the enemy is not a fool. Stupidly rushing upwards, although Wang Lang didn't know if they could come up with a way to siege him, Wang Lang didn't dare to take the risk. It messed up Wang Lang's previous plan.
