Chapter 323 (1/2)
In the forest.
The soldiers of the three tribes, with bare arms and stone or bone knives in their hands, chopped down the huge trees with great force.
Among the sawdust, the thick trees creaked and groaned, falling like giants, bringing up fallen leaves and twigs.
Every time a giant tree falls down, there will be a few ordinary people flocking to it. They either collect the vines twining around the giant trees, or they hold knives and cut off the extra branches.
After the treatment, these people make concerted efforts to pull the cleaned trunk to the river.
At the moment, along the river bank, there are craftsmen from three tribes who are responsible for the last process. They put the trunks through for the last time to make them more suitable for rafting, and then they used vines to tie the trunks together in circles.
Originally, the river is very dangerous, and there will be water monsters coming out to attack people at any time.
But now the Jiaojiao dived into the river, and his huge body swam slowly in the dark river. The strong breath of the savage beast frightened all the water monsters in the river trembled and did not dare to come up.
Everyone was in a hurry.
Time was tight, the flames were spreading too fast, and they needed to make too many rafts.
The total population of the three tribes is more than 1000 people. In addition, there are huge war animals and a large group of Unicorn scale horses that saved them
Ye Xizhi had calculated the time before. If the raft making process was not smooth, the fire might have burned by the time it was finished.
So before he cut down the tree, he made a semicircle in the forest with his toothknife, taking the river bank as the diameter. Let's first cut down the trees near the semicircle, and then slowly cut them in. Finally, all the trees within the semicircle will be cleaned up and used as a fire isolation belt.
The children of the three tribes were not idle, helping to clean up the turf lichens and dead leaves and other combustible materials on the isolation belt to ensure that the fire would not burn.
Time goes by minute by second.
By the time the first raft had been launched, the faint smell of smoke from the North could be heard.
When the tenth raft went into the water, several creatures that had escaped from the north were already passing through the forest.
”Come on! pick up speed! Before the tide comes, make all the rafts! ” Chief Tu Shan roared as he cut wood.
Everybody's biting their teeth, and they're moving faster.
In the increasingly strong smell of smoke, and more and more close to the roar of the animal tide, the raft one by one into the water.
At this time, a group of people riding a bull, wearing horns from the North ran over.
This is the Niujiao tribe. It is a relatively weak small tribe. They live in the south of Tushan valley. They usually don't deal with the three clansmen. They only talk to each other at the heize fair.
When the chief cowhorn chief saw them, he pulled the bull running under his crotch and said in a hurry: ”the fire is burning. Why don't you run quickly? What are you doing?! Run with us
The ox horn chief was not bad. He even risked being caught up by the fire and called back to them.
”We don't run, we're going to walk on the river!” A leaf tribe warrior who was cutting down trees answered him.
Ye Xi couldn't bear to see them all buried in the sea of fire, so he came to advise the chief of Niujiao: ”don't go forward. The fire in the west is spreading too fast. When you don't run to the south, there is no way to escape.”
Chief Niu Jiao looked up and down at Ye Xi. When he saw the clothes made by Jiugong on Ye Xi, his eyes suddenly lit up and said, ”are you the master Ye Xi?”
Ye Xi was stunned, ”I am Ye Xi.”
The chief cowhorn's expression changed immediately.
He bit his teeth, ran to the front, yelled to stop the team, then jumped off the back of the bull, bowed his head and saluted Ye Xi.
”Niujiao tribe mountain has met Ye Xi. We Niujiao tribe is willing to follow you.”
