Chronicles of Primordial Wars
Chapter 190: Keeping Birds
The expedition continues along the route they planned.
After leaving the areas of the reckless and under-8 tribes, the distant tribes walked for another six days, passing some small markets, or some medium-sized tribes in the centre, exchanging some things.
Shao Xuan will pass along the road, marked on his own map, even the characteristics of each tribe are marked on it.
Because there was still a hurry, not much to exchange, Shao Xuan just exchanged some very tribal representations or small monumental items to carry, lightly pack the hurry.
Of course, while passing through some wild hills, the team also encountered some beasts, even fierce ones. However, there are relatively few beasts. Most of them are beasts. The people from the expedition team pointed to the map and told Shao Xuan that most of the beasts are located in this location on the map, and that that direction is exactly where Shao Xuan intends to go.
It has been reported that few human tribes live there, yet another vast mountainous forest, where the beasts are often present and where there are unimaginable dangers, and where every traveller is reluctant to go.
Shao Xuan had the idea of taking a look at the past. He naturally had to go to the site of the Flaming Horn tribe to see what secrets the ancestors of Flaming Horn had in their hearts and to see what the “root” was called.
Since the roads are different, Shao Xuan naturally has to be separated from the distant tribes.
“Do you really want to leave the team? It's dangerous to be alone.” I heard Shao Xuan was going to leave and persuaded him.
“It's hard to get a trip from a tribe, I want to look around. I'll follow the route when I see it.” Shao Xuan said.
Down the road, Shao Xuan has drawn up some maps of the center according to the understanding. Although there are still many places where people from the distant team have not been, and the skin of the beast is still empty, Shao Xuan is not in a hurry, just finish it slowly.
After a brief farewell to the expedition team, Shao Xuan headed in the direction of what Lao Xuan described as the flaming horn tribe's homeland. He was the only one this time, and sometimes in order to catch up, when he encountered a more complicated spot, he would give him a whirl.
A day later.
Shao Xuan looked at the map on his hand. According to the above, this neighborhood is the site of the "Lu” tribe. Shao Xuan will be very careful when approaching the tribal site. These tribes are very well guarded.
To get to the destination, you need to bypass the Rwandan tribe. The air chirping has made some noise around, and Shao Xuan has heard some movement. Those people seemed deliberately to converge, not communicate loudly, and were silent.
It should be from the Lu tribe. However, Shao Xuan does not know why the other party is so careful. Anyway, Shao Xuan should be more careful.
Boo-hoo!
Some twig leaf friction sounds, as well as booming fast approaching footsteps, which are not like human movements.
Shao Xuan stumbled onto a tree and intended to look at it from a height. Although the travellers have told Shao Xuan that the Lu tribe is not very threatening, Shao Xuan should be cautious, if the other party's attitude is not good, let the air directly respond.
Tap, tap, tap--
The footsteps were closer, the speed was very fast, Shao Xuan could not see each other, but according to the movement of the branches, it was a tall guy who came here.
As the footsteps approached, Shao Xuan hid behind the dense branches and looked out from between the leaf seams.
Ta-da-ta-da-ta-da-ta-da-ta-da-ta-da-ta-da.
When the other wind generally passed by the tree where Shao Xuan was hiding, it paused and returned.
Shao Xuan held the knife handle and guessed if he had found himself. The trees around here are not high. Now Shao Xuan's choice is more suitable for hiding shadows.
Just as Shao Xuan saw the branches beneath him pulled apart, he bowed his head to the head of a big bird with a fruit in his mouth. The fruit is on this tree.
Obviously, the bird only found the fruit, not Shao Xuan, but did not want to see the hidden inside as soon as it pulled the branches when it bit the fruit.
One bird at a time.
Shao Xuan's hiding place is at least five meters from the ground. This bird's head is less than a meter away from Shao Xuan. You can see the height of this big bird.
With Ah Guang's horror crane in front of him, Shao Xuan took a precautionary attitude towards such a big bird. After the branches below were pulled apart, Shao Xuan held the stone knife and intended to split a knife.
However, before waiting for Shao Xuan to move, the bird screamed “Ga”, and all the fruit chips in his mouth dropped, turning around and spreading his big foot away and running.
Shao Xuan: “...” such a big blind man!
If it was the crane that used his head as a hoe, it would have pecked right up his mouth, right? However, the bird was more surprised than Shao Xuan, even like the little white rabbit met the big gray wolf, and fled in panic.
Shao Xuan opened the branches and looked at the bird as the wind fled.
It, like the crane of Ah Guang, has degraded its upper limbs and is unable to fly. Moreover, its body appears to be bigger than the crane of Ah Guang, and its lower limbs are slightly thicker... very fleshy.
Whoo--
The shadow in the sky swept down and grabbed the big bird, which was not far away, and then took off again.
After picking up the big bird, a seven-member squad rushed out of the woods. At first, they didn't notice Shao Xuan, staring at the air, shouting and yelling. One of them also projected the spear in his hand out, but the spear flew too fast, bent and missed a lot.
“Got caught! ”
“Where's the eagle? This hawk has never seen it before! ”
Several people yelled over there, then noticed Shao Xuan standing next to him.
“Who are you?” One of them asked with scepticism.
“I'm passing by, cough, that's what's up there, that's just my eagle.” Shao Xuan caught sight of the other party's face without hesitation, but without intending to continue throwing the spear, he blew a whistle and made a gesture into the air.
Travellers have said that the Rwandan tribe has a somewhat special place in the centre, while the Rwandan tribe's people are apt to befriend each other.
He grabbed the struggling bird and circled over it before landing.
People over there were also worried that the bird would be thrown directly from the air, but the bird was thrown in front of Shao Xuan only as it approached the ground and then quickly took off. It doesn't like people throwing spears at themselves.
The big bird that was put on the ground just had some claw marks on it and was a little scared. It just didn't slow down for a while. When he gasped, he was going to keep sneaking away. Unfortunately, some people over there tied him up with grass rope one step at a time.
“Are you really just passing by?” The leader over there asked for a slightly better attitude this time.
“Yes, I just rested here and the big bird came running.” Shao Xuan said.
“I'm so sorry, I thought the eagle was going to take away our bird.” The man laughed. He had an impression of every hawk in the neighborhood who came to their tribe to steal food, and the one he had just seen was a stranger. Moreover, unlike wild eagles, he had just seen the eagle's paws painted on them, and he didn't see them clearly. He guessed it should be a totem pattern or something.
The Lu are generally reluctant to take revenge, so for many tribes, they are not guilty, even if they are not close. This young man can raise an eagle of this size in front of him, and the tribe he's in should be a bigger tribe, right?
“The Lu tribe, the Rock Hawk.” The man introduced himself.
“Flaming Cape Tribe, Shao Xuan. ”
Flaming Horn Tribe? How many people looked at each other and seemed to hear for the first time that it had to be a long way from here?
“Did you come with the expedition?” One man asks.
“Well, just separated from them soon. ”
Turns out it came from far away. A few people think.
Looking at the eagle in the sky, Iwako said to Shao Xuan: “Shao Xuan, can you do us another favor? ”
“You say. ”
Iwabuki briefly explained the situation, turning out that every once in a while, the Lu tribe transported some of the breeding animals out, exchanged things with other tribesmen, and came back. However, there was an accident early this morning, and the fence defect was not repaired in time. It was washed out by a big bird, and then many more escaped. The guards stopped some and missed a lot.
They dispatched five teams in five directions, and so far, they haven't found them all.
“So I want you to… help the eagle to find it.” Rock toad said.
“Okay.” It wasn't that hard, Shao Xuan called down and said a few words and let it fly away.
People who have been busy all morning rarely get a break, three of them sit directly on the ground, thinking that if the eagle can't find them later, they have to go on.
“Hey, here it comes!!” One staring at the sky said excitedly.
They had only seen eagles in the sky grab their livestock before, and this was the first time they had encountered a situation where eagles were asked to help retrieve fleeing livestock.
It was just the first one, about 10 minutes later, and the second one came back. After two, the chirping failed to bring back another big bird.
“This neighborhood should all be gone, let's go back and see if anyone else has found it.” The rock pigeon said.
Meanwhile, in order to thank Shao Xuan, Iwako also extended an invitation to Shao Xuan. During the chat, Shao Xuan showed interest in raising big birds, which is also something that the Lu tribe is very proud of, and they like to show their breeding results so that they can trade with more people in the future.
“Come with us, we have the largest farm in the central region, many tribes have traded with us...”
Iwabuki brought Shao Xuan into the tribe and was proud of his tone when it came to raising him.
Shao Xuan looked at the scene with surprise.
They stood on the hill, looking at the low ground, where there were hundreds of birds the size of the previous bird, looking at the size of a crane, but they were gentle and vegetarian.
In Shao Xuanyi's eyes, this is just a pile of meat!
