Chapter 224 Night Attack
The witch Jin didn't dare to ignore it, and immediately gave orders.

People along the river woke up from their sleep one after another, fishermen rowed their rafts or canoes to one place, and hunters escorted women and children from all over the camp to the river.

Not everyone knows the inside story, but everyone knows that this move is unusual!

They obeyed the witch's order and tried not to make any noise. Even the active and mischievous children were frightened by the tense and serious atmosphere and kept their mouths shut, fearing that the wolf would snatch them away if they opened their mouths.

The unknown breeds fear, and the silence intensifies this atmosphere, and uneasiness spreads among the crowd.

"Witch, the people of the Sky Clan seem to have woken up, maybe they were awakened by our actions. Do you want to send someone to talk to them?"

The four witches have already discussed this matter. In the tribe, only fishermen have boats. The number of boats is limited, and the load capacity of each boat is also very limited, which is far from enough to carry everyone.

If there is not enough for our own people, how can we distribute them to outsiders?
Jin thought for a while and said, "It's okay to tell them, whether it helps or not, this is what we should do."

This task naturally fell on the rice field eel.

These days, Huang Eel is the closest to the guests. In the case of a language barrier, perhaps he is the only one who can bring the news correctly.

Huang Eel has never felt that he is so important, and Hong Yuan even said convincingly that this matter cannot be done without him!This made his heart surge and his blood boil!

The clansmen were rushing towards the river from all directions, and they were in a hurry. After propping his canoe to the shore, he ran against the flow of people to the camp of the Sky Clan.

"Eel!"

The sudden shout made the eel stagnate, turned his head to look at the source of the sound, and saw a silhouette of a figure in the dark forest, the distance was still far away, and his face could not be seen clearly.

"Who is there?"

"it's me."

The other party's face was illuminated by the bright moonlight.

The vigilance on the eel's face was instantly replaced by surprise, and he said excitedly: "Priest of the sky!"

At this critical juncture, the Sky Priest is finally back!
Zhang Tian had also just arrived. Near the riverside tribe, Zi Yan put him down in the "car" and asked him to go back to explain the situation to his fellow tribesmen and not to interfere with their actions.

Zhang Tian had already said what should be said in his dream that Lin Yu was with the tribe, and he felt relieved, so he first came to the Hebian people's camp to take a look, and saw the eels flying towards the Sky Clan's camp, and guessed his Intent, call him immediately.

"Go back to your people!" Zhang Tian said in a very serious tone, "Tell the witch, the wild beasts have already crossed the river, and the herd of beasts will launch an attack tonight. You should have been guided by the sky, hurry up and evacuate!"

"Tonight!"

The eel was startled, most of the night has passed, doesn't it mean that the herd is already on the way!

"What about you?"

"With Nuwa's descendants here, the beasts dare not do anything to us, you don't have to worry, go back quickly!"

The eel didn't say any more, and immediately turned back to tell the witch and others the sensational news.

Even though they were mentally prepared, the four witches were still too shocked to speak!

They did not doubt the authenticity of the news. When the sky priest left, he went from the south bank of the river to the forest further south, but now he miraculously appeared on the north bank of the river. This alone has proved that what he said is true.

The herd really crossed the river silently, and circled behind them without anyone noticing!

Thinking of this, the faces of the four of them all showed a look of rejoicing.

Fortunately, I got the guidance from the sky and made a response early, otherwise I am afraid that I will fall into the hands of the herd tonight...

At this time, a strong wind seemed to pass through the canopy of the trees, and a distant rustling sound broke the silence. The birds living in the forest flew up in fright. Then, the woods echoed with the sounds of messy footsteps and rapid running footsteps. Stepping on the fallen leaves makes a rustling sound.

The sound from the air and the ground became louder and closer, and the earth seemed to vibrate slightly!
Everyone changed their faces!
"Quick! Quick!" Red Kite urged loudly, "Hurry up! Run!"

Some mothers who lived far away and had young children were still on the way. When they heard the terrible sound like a death curse behind them, they quickly picked up their children and ran wildly!

The fisherman punted, and the fully loaded rafts and canoes left the shore one after another, and the four witches also boarded the rafts, preparing to evacuate.

The sound is very close!
The women and children have not yet fully evacuated, and the boat has not yet fully left the shore. They must buy some time!
Hongyuan made a decisive decision and shouted: "Light it up!"

The hunters formed a long snake formation, with their backs to the river bank, facing the approaching sound, and the torches in their hands formed a bright wall of fire!

The shadows in the secluded forest seem to hide thousands of troops, and the wind roars in the canopy, like a black cloud pressing down on the top, swallowing the moonlight.

Everyone's heart was beating like a drum, and their breathing became more and more rapid, revealing their inner fear, but the clansman behind them made their legs weigh like a thousand pounds, and they didn't take half a step back. The scorching fire gave them a bit of courage.

It is the nature of beasts to fear fire, and they know this.

The shaking of the ground seemed to become stronger.

After experiencing many earthquakes last night and today during the day, the hunters didn't take this vibration to heart, thinking that the ground was convulsing again.

Until there is a click!

"The earth is split!"

Before the screams could be heard, the ground suddenly cracked open, and it seemed as if a monster sleeping underground suddenly opened its huge mouth. Several hunters were caught off guard and immediately fell into the pit, with shrill screams resounding through the forest.

The hunters were frightened and retreated in a hurry, fearing that the crack would spread to the soles of their feet, and they would accidentally fall into the abyss like their companions, leaving no bones left.

However, the ground fissure did not spread infinitely as they expected, and the change stopped in an instant, and a strange pothole appeared in front of everyone.

The hunters looked at each other, not knowing why, a more courageous hunter approached again holding a torch, and looked into the pothole with his head.

At this moment, two huge black shadows jumped out of the pit!
The daring hunter raised his head subconsciously, looking in horror at the burly figure in mid-air.

Giants... no, giant apes!

This was the last scene he saw: the giant ape clenched his fists and punched down with the force of Mount Tai!

Immediately after the giant ape landed, it rushed into the crowd like a cannonball, like a wolf into a flock of sheep, or rampaged, or waved its thick forelimbs, and took away one with a punch.

The other giant ape was even more terrifying. He picked up a fallen broken tree and swept across the army. After spinning around in a circle, he threw it away. The broken tree whirled towards the crowd like a super-large dart!
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Everyone screamed and ran towards the relatively dense woods. The crowds on the shore and the people on the boats that had not yet left the shore plunged into the water. The broken wood swept over everyone's heads with incomparable power and fell into the water with a crash. , splashing water several meters high!

"Throw the spear! Throw the spear!"

The hunters present were all experienced hunters. After the initial panic, they reorganized and used the trees to avoid the attack of the giant ape, and looked for opportunities to throw the spears, harpoons and torches in their hands towards the giant ape with all their strength... Throw what you want , Now I can't take care of this much.

"Roar!"

The giant ape yelled in pain, but did not retreat an inch, and instead became even more angry and manic.

Suddenly, screams erupted in the forest. The hunters who used the trees as cover to avoid the pursuit could only hear the sound of the wind above their heads, and groups of black and white meat balls fell straight down in an unskilled attacking way!

"Black and white bear!"

There is no chance of winning a close-range fight with a bear, and the hunters immediately scattered, but how can a two-legged one run faster than a four-legged one?
Giant pandas are usually just too lazy to move. They look bulky, but they are definitely nimble fat people. Their full sprint speed can reach 50 kilometers per hour, which is equivalent to a car's gas pedal, much faster than humans!
In an instant, the hunters' defense line formed by the wall of fire was torn out a huge gap.

"Wolves! The wolves are coming!"

The noisy footsteps were like dense drumbeats, and the strong wolf head rushed into the forest first, its gray hair shining brightly by the fire.

However, what frightened the hunters was not only the wolf, but also the woman lying low on its back. Her eyes were more ferocious than any beast they had ever seen!
They couldn't help thinking about it, hundreds of wolves rushed out of the woods in the blink of an eye, carrying spears and torches, and rushed forward fearlessly!

The hunters' defense line collapsed in an instant. They had never seen such a crazy and lifeless beast. No matter how courageous they were, they were frightened at this time and had no intention of fighting. They turned around and ran away!
At this point, the only way to survive is to escape to the river and jump into the river!
"Watch out for the top!"

The black clouds on the canopy swept over the top of the head, and the monkeys were the most bullying and fearful. They smelled the breath of weakness, and screamed excitedly, jumped out from the leaves of the forest, jumped on the deserters, pulled their hair, scratched their ears, poked their eyes, and scratched their heads. Nostrils... After a set of combos, although it would not cause substantial damage, it successfully slowed down the pace of the hunters.

The wolves passed like a hurricane, knocking down every upright creature in sight, tearing out their throats with their sharp canine teeth.

The continuous screams made everyone's hearts beat wildly, adrenaline was secreted rapidly, and Hong Yuan ran the fastest speed in his life. He didn't want to run faster than the wolves. This is impossible, as long as he ran faster than his companions. Quick, you can survive!

The river is close at hand, he jumped!
"thump!"

"thump!"

"thump!"

The sound of falling water was heard endlessly, and all the hunters who jumped into the river breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wow!"

The extraordinarily loud sound of water, accompanied by a huge splash several meters high!

A shadow fell overhead, and the hunter screamed as his torso was grabbed by a giant hairy hand.Like picking up a shrimp and crab, the giant ape fished him out of the water and threw him behind him.

"Ahhh!"

The dragging screams ended with the wolves swarming up and biting.

The giant ape stood upright and waded into the water. The water more than two meters deep only reached its chest.Rafts and canoes that were not far from the river bank were easily sunk by it, and people who fell into the water were picked up by it and thrown ashore to become rations for wolves.

Everyone hurriedly swam towards the center of the river.

"Whoosh!"

A huge stone slid across the top of the head. Amidst the screams of the crowd, it precisely hit the raft in the center of the river. All the women and children fell into the water, and the howling and crying rang out!
The giant ape was obviously also a good thrower. It stood on the bank of the river, standing upright with a burly body more than three meters high, and threw stones as big as a bucket one after another, hitting each one accurately.

The approaching boats tried to rescue the clan members who fell into the water, but they were immediately killed!

Sumire yelled, "Row the boat! Row the boat! Get out of here!"

The rest of the boats did not dare to wait any longer, and everyone worked together, either with wooden oars, with their hands, or by swimming in the water. Hundreds of rafts and canoes broke through the water and rowed downstream, during which they were thrown stones by giant apes Sunk several ships.

Everyone was frightened, and the only thought left in their minds was rowing. Even though they were already out of the attack range of the giant ape, they still did not dare to stop their movements.

It wasn't until the first ray of dawn appeared in the distant sky that they broke free from their panic. The roar of the giant ape was far away, and even its hill-like body had become a tiny black spot.

Everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and the extremely intense fatigue came over them like a tide. The adults gasped for breath, and the children couldn't bear it any longer, hugging their mothers and crying loudly.

Many of those who fell into the water were good swimmers, and they swam all the way. Seeing that the fleet was out of danger, the people on board helped them climb up.

Among them was Hong Yuan, who had been exhausted for a long time, but he had no intention of taking a breather, and now was not the time to rest, he had something very important to report to Wu immediately.

Until this moment, he still couldn't believe his eyes.

He actually saw a person, a woman, on the wolf's back!The animals in the forest suddenly went berserk and attacked humans, maybe it has something to do with this woman!
……

The hunters raised their spears or drew their bows to confront the wolves that surrounded the camp.

The wolves did not launch an attack, but just patrolled back and forth at a short distance to prevent the two-legged beasts from suddenly attacking and catching them by surprise.

Compared with the riverside people, the wolf boy is obviously more wary of them.

The attack came quickly, and it ended quickly. As the boats of the people on the river drifted away, the screams and cries of pain completely subsided, replaced by a feast of wolves.

During this period, Zhang Tian told everyone what he knew, including the existence of Wolf Boy and Zi Yan.

Everyone was shocked from ear to ear, a child raised by wolves, this is simply unbelievable!

Wolves are the four-legged predators that the clansmen come into contact with the most. In their view, wolves are the most ferocious beasts. It is unimaginable that wolves will raise human children!
Crow, Leopard Gan, and Aba were particularly shocked, and repeatedly confirmed that the purple smoke mentioned by the sky priest was the missing high priest of the mountain tribe.

How did she appear here?What happened to the volcano that day?Why did she leave like this and never return, abandoning her people?

A series of doubts came to mind.

Abba said categorically: "She must have experienced the same thing as me!"

"There's no need to guess. If you want to know, you can just ask her when you see her." Zhang Tianchao walked outside the camp, "I'll go and see the situation."

"We're going with you!"

Crow, Leopard Gan, and Aba spoke in unison, Hutou and others also volunteered to go with them to protect his safety, and Xiao Xiao naturally followed. His strong curiosity made him overcome his fear of wolves and giants.

Perceiving that the degree of danger was not high, Zhang Tian agreed to their request to accompany them.

Lin Yu felt like a cat scratching her heart, but thinking that the tribesmen in the camp still needed her to protect them, she remained silent.

Lanhua's face was full of worry. As a mother, she certainly didn't want Tian and Xiao to be put in danger, but she also knew that the two boys had grown up and would no longer listen to their mother.

"It's okay." Zhang Tian comforted her, "I will look at Xiao and not let him out of my sight."

She knows Tian's ability, and he speaks and acts much more steadily than Xiao, which makes people feel at ease...

As soon as this idea came into Lanhua's mind, she heard a wolf howl.

The hunters were startled, the wolf howling was so close at hand, they subconsciously thought that the wolves had come in silently, just like they had crossed the river silently!
After a closer look, I realized that it was the sky priest acting as a demon...

What is this for?
Everyone stared at each other, all at a loss, but one thing to say, the sky priest's wolf howl was so realistic that even the most experienced hunters couldn't hear the slightest difference, just like a wolf walking on its head !
Zhang Tianzheng communicated with the wolves in charge of guarding outside the camp, and asked them where the wolf cubs were.

Although the communication method of wolves includes chemical communication, Zhang Tian's sense of smell has not been strengthened. Now give him a soak of wolf urine, and he can smell a lot of information from it, that's all, let him distinguish from the air like a dog. He couldn't smell like a wolf boy.

You have to rely on the wolf to lead the way.

The wolves naturally recognize this guy, he understands wolf language as well as the wolf boy, so he is half of the same kind.

When the group left the camp, everyone except Zhang Tian was uneasy. They didn't believe in wolves, and the mess they saw along the way exacerbated this distrust.

The morning sun shines into the woods from among the leaves, the blood stains stain the green grass and trees red, and the torches thrown by the hunters ignite weak flames everywhere in the forest. Because of the continuous drizzle in the past two days, and the fact that the place is close to the river and the soil is wet, The water vapor was rich and could not be burned.

Broken arms and broken bodies were scattered everywhere, and there were also the corpses of wolves and giant pandas that had been pierced into hedgehogs by spears. The bloody smell diffused and filled the nostrils.

Xiao Xiao had never seen such a miserable situation before. His face was pale and he almost felt sick. Zhang Tian also felt nauseous.

When the burly body of the giant ape came into view, the hunters immediately tensed up and clenched their weapons tightly.

Seeing the giant ape from a distance last night, Abba kept claiming that it was the giant he had seen before, but now that he got closer, he realized that the other was not a human at all, but an ape!

There are such strong apes in this world!

The hunters were secretly frightened, but not panicked. Compared to the mammoth, which could be called a moving castle, the ape's physique was nothing.

After many years, Aba finally saw the true face of the giant.

So... is it just a bigger monkey?
Aba held the big molar that he regarded as a treasure hanging around his neck, with a complicated expression and an indescribable feeling.

Another giant ape sat slumped against a big tree, its body was full of spears and harpoons, the blood congealed under it, its big nostrils opened and closed quickly, panting heavily, it seemed that it was dying.

The wolf boy was lying on its chest, talking softly, while Zi Yan stood aside, his eyes fell on the visitor.

She recognized the crow and leopard liver, and a flash of joy flashed in her eyes. It is always a pleasure to see familiar faces far away.

The giant ape took his last breath and closed his eyes peacefully.Another great ape let out a mournful howl.

The wolf girl jumped back to the ground. Last night's attack was a complete victory, but she didn't look good.

The results could have been more fruitful, and the losses could have been less, if the people on the riverside were unprepared.

She couldn't figure out why the riverside people organized the evacuation before she launched an attack, and where did the news leak?

The guy who claimed to be the adopted son of the forest was undoubtedly the most motivated, but he was always under his nose and had no chance to tip off the news. Could it be that the ape had exposed his tracks?

She usually lives in the southern part of the forest and is not familiar with the apes in the northern part. It is not impossible for these monkeys to obey her control and cause trouble.

While she was thinking about it, they were already chatting over there.

"You are the high priest of the tribe on the mountain? I heard that the high priest has the ability to control flames, but it doesn't seem true."

Aba's words were not very polite. People on the mountain never pretended to be polite to the people on the mountain. What's more, the former high priest has now been reduced to this point, and there is no need to flatter him.

Ziyan knew how brutal the people at the foot of the mountain were, but she didn't take it seriously. Aba's local accent made her feel more at ease.

"you are?"

"Abba. You definitely don't know me. When I was young, you didn't remember anything!"

Crow and Leopard Gan almost couldn't recognize her, the bruised and disheveled woman in front of them was far from the high priest with white hair, long hair and gorgeous costumes in their memory.

Noticing the gazes of the two, Zi Yan turned her gaze away.The crow and leopard liver were exactly the same as in her memory, no, their spirit and complexion were much better than before, and they obviously had a good time.

She smiled a little and asked, "I remember there are three of you?"

Her appearance had been completely destroyed, not to mention hideous, somewhat creepy, but her smile was still as warm as before, completely matching the appearance in the memory of the two of them.

She is right!

"The leopard skin is gone."

Crow spoke concisely, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by the wolf boy: "Zi Yan!"

She gestured and asked, "Who are they? Your people?"

"No." Zi Yan replied with gestures, "I've seen it before, so it's my friend. It's the same as you."

The wolf boy gestured and said, "Your friend is also my friend!"

She walked towards Crow and Leopard Liver.

The two subconsciously backed away. The sky priest said that this woman is a wolf child, and all the wolves in the forest obeyed her command. They felt fear from the bottom of their hearts.

"Don't be afraid." Zi Yan said, "She treats you as friends."

Wolf Boy walked up to Crow and Leopard Gan, patted his chest, and said in broken prairie dialect: "I, Wolf Boy. What about you?"

The two were puzzled, and seeing that there was no hostility towards each other, they also reported their families.

The wolf boy grinned, repeated their names several times, and said heartily: "Crow, Leopard Liver, Ziyan, me! We, friends!"
