back to prehistoric savage

Chapter 167
"Look at it!"

Atu, Amu, and Ada looked in the direction of A Niu's finger, and they were all shocked!
There is fire!
The gloomy sky further accentuated the blazing fire, and it was still clearly visible from such a long distance, so the fire must be quite big!

"Could it be the person the mountain tribe is looking for?" Amu and Ada were inexplicably excited.

Atu shook his head: "It's unlikely. They were very cautious. They didn't leave any traces along the way. It's hard to believe that they would light a fire at night. Besides, didn't the people on the mountain say that? There were only three of them, and one of them was injured." Injured, can't run fast, even if you start a fire, there is no need to burn it so vigorously. I think it is more likely to be a wildfire."

"I think it's wildfire, too."

A Niu agrees.

As Atu said, even though the fire was far away from them, the intensity of the fire could still be judged roughly. Not to mention three people, three hundred people are enough. It is hard to imagine that it would be the work of fugitives. ?
Companions are even more impossible. In order to search for the savages, all the tribes have dispersed, ranging from a few people to more than a dozen people, so that such a big commotion will not be caused.

If traces of fugitives are found, the tribe will use sheep dung, raw firewood, and fodder to light a fire, and use thick smoke to communicate, but it should be done during the day. After dark, no matter how thick the smoke is, who can see it?
Inferred from this, it should be a wildfire.

Occasionally, forests and grasslands would suddenly burst into ills and burn for no reason. The people on the mountain called it the wrath of the fire spirit, and additional sacrifices were required to appease the anger of the fire spirit.

The people at the foot of the mountain are in awe of this. Although they don't believe in the spirit of fire, they will contribute their strength and sacrifices to the spirit of fire every time forests and grasslands spontaneously combust.

I heard from the elders that a terrible wildfire broke out on the mountain a long time ago. The fire was overwhelming and burned from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. It burned more and more vigorously, and it burned for three days and three nights!
It was at that time that the people on the mountain claimed that the extinguishment of the wildfire was due to them, or to be precise, to a woman who was said to have mastered the power of the fire and was able to communicate with the spirit of fire.Later, she became the first fire priest of the mountain tribe.

A Niu and others had never seen a wildfire with their own eyes. This was the first time. The strange thing was that the wildfire didn't seem to be spreading, which was different from what the elders described.

But their attention was quickly drawn to another discovery.

"Huh? Why are there so many bones of birds and pikas here? These logs..."

A Niu keenly noticed the small branches and wood scattered everywhere. He picked up a few to check, and found that the wood had obvious signs of breaking or chopping, and some even had signs of being burned!
Someone has been here!

Could it be that……

His heart was pounding, he suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and called Atu with gestures. Together, the two of them believed that the scattered logs were deliberately kicked in order to destroy the traces, but they were completely destroyed. Very incomplete, obviously, the other party left in a hurry!
"It's the fugitives!" Ah Tu couldn't hide his excitement. "They must have found us and were terrified. They simply destroyed the scene and didn't have time to clean it up. They haven't run far!"

"Chasing?"

"Chasing! The four of us, Ada and Amu, are afraid of a sheep!"

Even in the mountain tribe where the per capita is tall and powerful, Ada and Amu are quite strong existences. Thinking of this, Aniu suddenly became full of confidence.

But he was more cautious, thought for a while and said: "Search this forest first. If there is no one, wait until dawn. Don't find people and lose the sheep by then."

The four people tied the head sheep to the tree. Sheep are very gregarious and herd animals. They usually only follow the head of the sheep and follow the head of the sheep. They will not leave the group easily, let alone leave alone.

It doesn't matter if you get lost, who hasn't lost a sheep in this vast grassland?Finding sheep is a compulsory course for every shepherd.What A Niu is worried about is that if this group of honest and docile sheep are targeted by four-legged predators, the loss outweighs the gain.

The sun has just set and the moon has not yet risen, and this is the darkest time of the day.

Holding torches and sharp knives, the four of them searched in this not-so-big and not-so-dense forest, thinking that a rich reward might be close at hand, and they were all full of energy.

"Oh!"

There was a sudden muffled sound, like a stone hitting a tree hard.

Ah Da's senses are quite keen, and he immediately discerned the direction, and ran after him, followed by the three of them.

Footsteps sounded, not far ahead!
Shining the torch in his hand, a blurry figure appeared.

Ah Da was so excited, he gave Ah Tu the torch, and immediately jumped out like a leopard, chasing the fleeing prey.After the second acceleration, Ada was faster than Amu, and left the three of them behind in an instant.

A tinge of uneasiness suddenly surged in Ah Niu's heart.

Didn't you say there were three people?Even if one is injured, there should be two left, why only see one?
He hurriedly shouted: "Don't run too fast!"

However, Ah Da only saw the prey in his eyes, and only heard the whistling wind in his ears. He believed that he had a great physique, so he didn't care about it at all. There was only one thought in his heart: If I catch the man, I can get more things!
snort!Runs pretty fast!
The opponent was obviously also very good at running. Looking at the entire tribe down the mountain, Ah Da's speed was also ranked first, and he couldn't catch up for a while.

He escaped!He chases!

The two stalemate for a while, the speed of the fugitive suddenly slowed down, obviously exhausted, seeing the distance gradually narrowed, Ah Da's spirit was lifted, he walked like flying, and ran faster.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

The fugitive couldn't run anymore, and his speed was so slow that it was not much faster than walking.

In an instant, Ah Da was chasing close, so close that he could hear the other party's heavy breathing!
I won this chase!
Without hesitation, Ah Da immediately threw the meteor rope, the stone drove the rope, whirled out, precisely entangled the fugitive's legs, and tripped him!
Ah Da couldn't help being overjoyed, he pulled out the bone knife at his waist, and charged forward with all his strength, suddenly his feet were empty!
"Oh!"

Ah Da's body fell suddenly, but inertia pushed him forward, bumped his head against the soil wall, and then fell into the bottom of the pit, fell all over, and screamed.

Before he recovered from the pain and shock, he suddenly felt a figure shaking above his head.

He looked up and saw that the fugitive had already unwrapped the meteor cable, and was standing by the pit, looking down at the prey in the pit condescendingly.

In the darkness, Ada couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but he could recognize the stone he held high in his hand.

"You sheep egg..."

Ah Da cursed.

"Oh!"

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

Leopard Gan took two steps back, leaned against the tree trunk, and panted heavily.

Indeed, he couldn't run anymore, so he simply stopped running, held the knife handle tightly, and waited for the pursuer, making the last struggle.

Is this the end?Obviously, he has already escaped a long way, and he is almost successful... He is not reconciled, very unwilling.

Suddenly, I thought of the crow that was out hunting. Why hasn't Brother Crow come back?

Could it be... no way!Brother Crow is much smarter and more cautious than us, it is impossible for him to have an accident!

Thinking of the crow, he suddenly felt relieved, and a little hope surged in his heart again.

With Brother Crow here, we still have a chance!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help straightening his back, and his expression gradually regained his composure.

After waiting for a while, no pursuer was seen, and no footsteps were even heard.

It shouldn't be, even though I run fast, I can't make such a long distance, right?
not good!

Leopard Gan's expression changed, and he immediately ran towards the direction he came from.

……

"Why stop? Aren't we going to help Ah Da?"

Suddenly being grabbed by A Niu, A Mu looked puzzled.

Ah Niu said: "The opponent is alone, are you afraid that Ah Da can't beat him? Let's look around."

"Looking for what?"

"The people on the mountain said that a total of three people escaped, one of them was injured in his leg and couldn't run fast. I guess that person must be hiding nearby, and there is a companion guarding him. Didn't you notice that the guy Ah Da was chasing ran away? Is it very fast? It must be deliberately letting the fast runner show up and lure us away, so that the remaining two can take the opportunity to escape."

Amu suddenly realized, and immediately searched around with a torch.

"Be careful!" Ah Niu ordered.

The woods were also covered with meadows, and it was night again, so it was not easy to find someone in the dark.

The three of them searched patiently, and Ah Tu suddenly asked, "I remember that the one with the injured leg is going to be captured alive?"

"Yes."

"I really can't figure it out. People on the mountain are willing to pay 100 yuan for a high-grade holy stone to capture three wild men, and to capture them alive, just to punish their crimes? This is too bad!"

"Whatever, they bid and we contribute. For us, of course, the more we give, the better."

"That's true. You said these three savages, could they be the three we caught in the cold weather?"

"There seem to be two of them, isn't the one with the injured leg, that's a woman..."

Before Ah Niu finished speaking, he saw a woman prostrated in the meadow not far away in the place where the fire was shining, her expression was terrified, and the eyes she met with him were even more terrified.

"Hey!"

He grinned.

The woman jumped up and ran, but the injury to her left leg made her unable to walk. At the same time, she also had a high fever. She felt dizzy and out of breath within two steps.

Both Atu and Amu were taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and were about to catch up, but were stopped by A Niu.

"Be careful." A Niu held up the torch to shine around, with a vigilant expression, "There is still one person who hasn't shown up! It must be lying in ambush somewhere, waiting to attack us."

The two were terrified, they almost forgot about this, thinking that the savages are really insidious, they played tricks, and sincerely admired A Niu's wit.

"Come out! I've seen you! Come out now, I promise I won't kill you!"

While chasing, the three of them were wary of their surroundings, and A Niu calmly shouted into the air.

As soon as he was about to catch up with the woman who was running for her life, the third person never showed up.

A Niu felt even more uneasy, the hidden danger would always exist if the third person didn't come out, his intuition told him that there must be a conspiracy, a bigger conspiracy!

Just then, "Bang!"

There was another muffled sound of a stone hitting a tree!

Finally showed up!
As the stone fell to the ground, Ah Niu's heart fell back into his stomach.

The wind passed through the bushes, and a black shadow rushed out desperately and rushed towards Amu!
The two immediately rolled into a ball.

Leopard Gan stabbed Amu's waist, and Amu stabbed Leopard Gan's back with his backhand.

The two cried out in pain, let go of the pain, and went away.

Ah Niu and Ah Tu rushed forward with their knives!

People have limits.Leopard Gan ran back with astonishing willpower, his physical strength had already been exhausted, and now he was stabbed again, and he wanted to fight again in his heart, but his body couldn't get up anymore.

He stared at the barbarian coming with a knife, gritted his teeth with resentment on his face.

"Oh!"

Suddenly, there was another muffled sound!
Ah Tu felt his eyes go dark, and he stumbled back a few steps, followed by severe pain, and his head was almost split open after being hit by the stone.

"Ouch!"

He rubbed his head, screaming in pain.

"Sheep eggs!"

A Niu yelled angrily, and wrestled with the man who rushed out suddenly, he didn't even have time to think why another man appeared.

"Brother Crow!"

Leopard Gan was overjoyed, immediately changed his expression, and said loudly: "Be careful!"

Amu, who was stabbed in the waist, climbed up again, and rushed towards the crow bravely.

The crow ran back all the way, with little physical strength left, and was powerless to deal with A Niu alone. Now there was another strong man, who was suddenly at a loss, so he could only follow the example of the later King Qin, walking around the tree, like a loach in the woods Drill and hide.

Damn, what am I doing back here!
The crow regretted it too much, he didn't understand what he was thinking, why did he come back to die in a flash of thought?Wouldn't it be nice to run away with food?
At this moment, Ah Tu, who was stunned by the stone, regained his breath, swung the bone knife, and slashed at the leopard liver who couldn't recover, killing one first.

His ears were still buzzing, so he couldn't hear the approaching footsteps or the wind.

By the time he sensed something coming fiercely, he was already unable to dodge.

The powerful kinetic energy knocked him to the ground, and the bone knife in his hand fell aside.

A lame woman is likewise thrown off her feet.

Leopard Liver squeezed out the last bit of strength, and rushed towards the bone knife that fell in the grass.

Atu reacted very quickly, kicked the bone knife away, then turned over and jumped up, kicking the back of the knife in the leopard's liver.

Leopard Gan screamed and rolled aside.

Ah Tu picked up the bone knife and slashed it again.

"do not want!"

The woman screamed and threw herself on the leopard liver.

Ah Tu hastily withdrew the knife, he hadn't forgotten to catch the living.

However, as long as you can't die, it's always okay to cut off your limbs, right?

Ah Tu grinned ferociously, and slashed at the woman's left hand with his knife.

However, his saber gesture was interrupted for the third time.

It was interrupted by a sharp piercing sound.

This time, he heard the voice, but had no time to react.

A branch that was only as thick as a thumb pierced through his arm holding the knife, and the pain was still delayed. He had already widened his eyes, staring at this branch that seemed to have shot from outside the sky in disbelief.

How can a branch penetrate an arm?
He couldn't think, and when this thought flashed through his mind, the pain had already exploded, and he folded his arms and wailed endlessly.

"Whoosh!"

Another branch landed at his feet, the force made it sink into the ground, and the feathers at the end of the branch swayed slightly.

A'tu turned pale with fright, and quickly backed away, turning his head to look in the direction the branch was shooting from.

Under the moonlight, in the sparse woods, a tall and straight figure was holding a crescent-shaped object, aiming at him meticulously.
