Chapter 176 Food Invasion
Having said this, Ah Shui and Wu Ya stopped and did not continue talking.

Zhang Tian played with the Commander Priest in his hand, so he didn't need to ask any more questions, just looking at the expressions of the two of them, he also knew that the high priest of the tribe on the mountain couldn't go back in the end.

"So, you are not only a priest, but also a high priest."

"No, I'm not." Ah Shui shook her head, "Although this is Zi Yan's wish, the choice of the high priest is not up to her, but depends on whether she has the ability to control the flame. I don't have such ability, Zi Yan Yan also has no offspring, and if she never returns, she will be the last High Priest."

"Even if you're not the high priest, with this priest commander, it's no problem for you to succeed Qing Yan as the priest, right?"

"Yes...but what's the point? The tribe doesn't trust me. I left the high priest and left. This is an extremely cowardly and irresponsible performance in the eyes of the tribe. They don't think I am qualified for the duties of a priest. They Only trust Chi Yan."

Ah Shui's tone was very self-reproaching: "At first, I could have helped, but if I hadn't left, she had done a good job, such a strong earthquake, but the flames that erupted at the end were so weak, the purple smoke was clearly gone. Got it under control..."

"and after?"

Zhang Tian interrupted her self-pity and brought the topic back to the right track: "Even if your people don't trust you, you are entrusted by Ziyan after all. Chitu and the stonemasons can prove this. Don't they respect the high priest at all?" willing?"

"Of course they respect the wishes of the high priest, so even though they were dissatisfied with me, they still recommended me to be a priest, but I didn't accept it, and I also felt that I didn't have that qualification."

Ah Shui looked tired, and sighed: "I just want to follow Zi Yan's wish to lead the people away from the volcano, but even this proposal was not accepted in the end. Not only that, Chi Yan even wants to lead the people back to the camp, to return to the volcano. volcano."

"Is he crazy?!"

The owl on the side exclaimed: "Without the high priest who controls the flames, what should we do when Dashan gets angry again and spews out flames?"

At this time, it was getting late, and all the people who went out to look for food had returned with full load. When night fell, the women started to cook and cook.

There is no way to light the fire. It is impossible not to light a fire at night. The men shoulder the security work and patrol the vicinity of the camp in groups of five.

There are still many people around Ah Shui, mainly children, who doesn't like listening to stories?
The audience all had the same idea as Xiao, thinking that Chi Yan had lost his mind.

Ah Shui also said: "Yes! And after the flames spouted from the mountain, the anger has not completely subsided, and the ground is still shaking, which is very dangerous! But Chi Yan didn't go crazy, and he has his reasons for doing so."

Ah Shui knows how to tell stories, so he intentionally kept things off, which fully aroused the curiosity of the audience.

The children thought about it hard, but they couldn't figure it out. At this moment, Lin Yu said, "He wants to go back to the high priest, no, he is looking for Chishi, right?"

"Master Wizard is really smart! I thought of it all at once!"

Ah Shui praised loudly, making no secret of his admiration for the young wizard.

The corners of Lin Yu's mouth raised slightly, with a reserved smile.She has been a child of other people's family since she was a child, and she has heard countless similar compliments, but Ah Shui's compliments are much more direct and sincere, and she can feel it.

"Seeing that the flames emanating from the mountain were far less violent than expected, Chi Yan believed that the high priest had successfully controlled the situation. He immediately led the tribe back and bumped into us on the road. Chi Tu and I told him the situation and tried to dissuade him. After all, Dashan's anger has not subsided, and it is still very dangerous there."

"Chi Yan insisted that the eruption of that level could not hurt the high priest. The high priest must have encountered other troubles, and maybe he was waiting for his tribe to rescue him. Taking a step back, he at least wants to get Chishi back, That is the most precious treasure handed down from the ancestors, and no one can use it now, it doesn’t mean there will never be.”

Ah Shui paused, then looked at Lin Yu: "At first, I thought that Chi Yan was thinking too much. Zi Yan has no descendants, and the blood of the high priest has been cut off. It is impossible for anyone to be able to emit the function of Chishi in the future. But now, your appearance Prove him right."

"Then did he find it?"

Zhang Tian is more concerned about this.

If you find it, it will be easy. Lin Yu used red stones to show a "miracle" and declared that he was the incarnation of the fire spirit. Who would dare not follow the mountain tribe?
"No."

Ah Shui ruthlessly smashed his little plan.

"At least before I left, I didn't find it. Neither the high priest nor Chishi was found, but because the corpses of other people were found, Chi Yan was more certain that the high priest was still alive. Searching in a large area has never yielded anything."

Zhang Tian said bluntly: "Is there a possibility that he fell into the crater?"

When the volcano erupts, the rock and soil near the crater will be broken. If you accidentally stumble and fall, you will be swallowed by the lava together with the red stone, and you will naturally be nowhere to be found.

Although it is cruel to say it directly, it is undoubtedly the most reasonable speculation.

Ah Shui fell silent, with a complicated and tangled expression, she knew that Zhang Tian's words were reasonable, but she was unwilling to accept the result in her heart.

Lin Yu tugged on Zhang Tian's grass fur dress and shook his head slightly at him.

Zhang Tian understood what she meant. Ah Shui's injuries were not healed, and he shouldn't bear too much stimulation, so he turned to look at the crow and the leopard liver, and asked one after another: "What's the situation with you? Didn't the high priest give you freedom? Where is the leopard skin?"

"Leopard skin... In the end, it's all his fault, not to mention the loss of my life, but the leopard liver and I didn't escape!"

"Brother Crow... Leopard Pi also blames himself, don't blame him."

"Hey! I'm just mad at him for being too careless, and he lost his life for nothing!"

The crow smiled bitterly and said, "We have suffered so much in this cold weather. Although Chitu treated me well, we are savages after all. How can savages have a good life? We have never given up the idea of ​​escaping. When we regain freedom When the day does come, you can imagine how excited we are!"

"But that guy with leopard skin... He was too excited, afraid that the high priest would repent, and ran faster than a rabbit. Going down the mountain is more dangerous than going up the mountain. After several days of earthquakes, many rocks have loosened. Running, not paying attention to the ground, stepped on the ground, and rolled directly."

"what!"

The children all exclaimed.

"It would be great if he fell to his death, but he was still alive, even though he was seriously injured. Leopard Gan and I had to make a wooden frame and drag him away, which wasted a lot of time. Taking care of him, the speed of progress is also dragged down by him."

Although Crow's words made no secret of his disgust and complaints, Zhang Tian could see that Crow didn't really think so.

In that case, he could obviously abandon his companions and run alone, but he didn't do that. No matter how reluctantly, he finally chose to take the leopard skin on the road together, which proved that he was not a cold-blooded person.

"It's a pity that we don't know how to treat illnesses and injuries at all. It would be great if the wizard was here at that time. You can even revive the dead, and you can definitely heal the leopard skin's wounds." Leopard Gan showed a sad expression, "Leopard Pi didn't make it through in the end."

The children also sighed, whether they knew leopard skin or not, the parting of life and death always makes people sigh uncontrollably.

"He didn't make it through, and Leopard Gan and I didn't escape either. We were caught by people on the mountain who were searching for the high priest everywhere. I told Chi Yan that the high priest had given us back our freedom, and Ah Shui and Chi Tu also testified for me. But Chi Yan insisted that I know the whereabouts of the high priest, and if I don't explain it, I won't let me go."

Speaking of this, the crow looked angry: "I know, he has taken a fancy to my ability, and wants me to be a coolie for the rest of his life, making stone tools for them, and he doesn't intend to let me go at all!"

"Then you found an opportunity to sneak away, so you were hunted down... Then why is Ah Shui with you? Even if the people on the mountain are dissatisfied with her, they won't hurt her, right?"

Zhang Tian asked the last question.

"I let them go." Ah Shui said.

"I had a disagreement with Chi Yan. I thought we should stay away from the volcano as soon as possible, but Chi Yan insisted on finding the whereabouts of the high priest and Chishi. Later, the crow and the leopard liver were captured, and I told him that the high priest had given them freedom. He refused to listen, saying that I was not a priest, and asked me to hand over the commander of the priest, and he was not allowed to meddle in these matters."

"The commander of the priest was handed over to me by Ziyan to keep it for her. I will definitely not give it to him. But he is the only priest left in the tribe, and the tribe is on his side. The crow asks me for help every day. I fulfill the high priest's promise..."

"There is no day."

The crow defended himself, but no one paid any attention to him.

"...I had no choice but to discuss it with the stonemasons. So Chitu and I found a chance and let them go secretly."

"I know that if I do this, Chi Yan will definitely trouble me and take the opportunity to snatch the Commander Ji. I don't want to give the Commander Ji to him. Anyway, Zi Yan is gone, and the tribe doesn't look good on me. Why should I stay? "

"Zi Yan often said that she was very boring in the tribe, and wanted to play in distant lakes, to see the grasslands and the end of the sky... I wanted to reach those places she couldn't reach. So I and him They ran away together."

What happened after that, without her telling, Zhang Tian could guess all about it.

Ah Shui not only let the savage go, but also ran away with the savage. This behavior is a kind of betrayal in any tribe, not to mention that she also took away the very precious priest.

Most of the people on the mountain and the whole army dispatched to arrest the three of them.

In the process of escaping, Ah Shui's foot was injured, but it was too late to treat and recuperate carefully, which eventually caused the wound to become infected and almost broke on the road.

After talking about all this, Ah Shui seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and her exhaustion and hunger came like a tide. She hadn't eaten well for a while, but at this moment, there was a strong smell of food in the air!

"It smells so good!"

I don't know if it was because she was too hungry, but she felt that the aroma was more fragrant than any day before!Even the aroma of roasted whole sheep in the tribe is far inferior!

Crow, Leopard Gan, A Niu and others also smelled it, and frantically sucked their noses, wishing to inhale all the aroma into their stomachs.

After accepting the wound suturing, Amu, who had been in a coma, also hummed, and woke up slowly. The pain in his abdomen followed, and he couldn't help moaning in pain.

But in the next moment, his body and mind were occupied by the fragrance that filled the air, and the wound on his abdomen seemed to be less painful, replaced by a strong appetite.

"Amu!"

A Niu was overjoyed!

With such injuries, A Niu didn't expect A Mu to survive, but that tall young woman really saved him!Using a method that looks like torture!
A Niu always heard the word "wizard", and he didn't understand what the word meant, but at this moment, his mind suddenly had a corresponding image, a mysterious image of a wise man who could bring the dead back to life.

His awe of the wizard climbed to another level again.

Crow and the others breathed hard. They couldn't figure out why the meat roasted by these people emitted such a rich aroma. Just smelling this aroma made them slurp their mouths and swallow wildly.

Ah Shui wanted to keep reserved, but he couldn't understand the amorous feelings, and kept making loud protests.

The children heard it clearly and laughed loudly.

Ah Shui blushed with embarrassment.

"After talking for so long, are you hungry? Let's have a cup of tea first."

Tea?
Ah Shui took the cup. It was so strange that the cup was made of stones!
Crow and Leopard Gan immediately recognized that the glowing red stone was actually pottery. They had seen it at the tribal meeting and were impressed, but they only saw small pottery such as pottery cups and bowls. were left in their homeland.

There was a burst of fragrance in the cup, and Ah Shui looked into the cup, only to see fine flowers and plants floating on the water, but there was nothing else.

She raised her cup and took a sip. This thing called tea seemed to have some kind of magical power. When the tea entered her stomach, she suddenly felt refreshed, and most of the tiredness disappeared.

Lin Yu also brought a cup of sedge tea to A Niu and other captives. This kind of tea has the effect of refreshing.

The tiger tongue roasted the meat, and the women cooked the dishes. Before the mother could greet them, the children smelled the smell and ran to the food to guard it.

Everyone began to enjoy a sumptuous dinner.

Crow and the others watched helplessly, at the roasted meat that was golden on both sides and sizzling with oil, and at the tea in their hands. In the current situation, there is no qualification to make a request.

Zhang Tian greeted: "Why are you standing there? Are you not hungry?"

"We... can we eat too?"

"If you are worried about being poisonous, you don't have to eat it."

"Quick! Help me up!"

Ah Shui couldn't bear it anymore, and urged her repeatedly, Leopard Gan immediately helped her up.

Hutou and a few hunters untied the ropes that bound A Niu and others, and said sharply: "Our priest is kind-hearted and willing to let you eat well, but I am not so kind. If you dare to play tricks, I will turn your heads off , into your ass!"

The crow translated for him.

"Never!"

A Niu shook his head like a rattle, then loudly praised the kindness of the priest of the sky, and even stepped on the priest of the fire spirit, saying that the priest of the sky is far inferior to the priest of the fire spirit!
Ah Shui was busy eating, and had no time to argue with him.

After flattering, Ah Niu immediately ran to the campfire, eagerly took the roasted rabbit, bit it, and his eyes lit up.

Absolutely!

As a shepherd, he often grills mutton, and he thinks that his grilling skills are no worse than anyone else, but compared to the roast rabbit in his hand, the things he roasted before are nothing worth mentioning!
So delicious!
The aroma not only stays on the surface, but also blends into every inch of meat. The tender meat melts in the mouth, and the meaty aroma mixed with rich layers of exotic aroma overflows the lips and teeth.

He felt his tongue trembling with excitement, and the lingering aroma lingered in his mouth for a long time, how delicious it was!

He chewed hard, his mouth was full of oil, his eyes were shining, and he did not forget to express his praise, and repeatedly marveled at the excellent craftsmanship of the tiger tongue. This time, it was no longer a flattery, but a compliment from the heart.

His three companions devoured it voraciously, not bothering to say a word, for fear that if they said a word more, they would lose a piece of meat.

Under the cover of night, the flames reflected a group of silent figures eating frantically.
