Chapter 27 The Short Battle
After two days of preparation, Wang Lang asked someone to kill all the animals he raised, marinate them with salt, and made many bamboo baskets.
We are about to leave here tomorrow. There is no laughter from the past in the tribe. Everyone is in a heavy mood. They have spent their peaceful time in this place, and everyone is reluctant to leave here.
At noon, people gathered around the fire to eat boiled meat with salt and wild vegetables. People used to grab such food, but now people just eat the meat in the bowl bite by bite, which can be said to be irritating.
One kilometer away from the tribe, the fire and dark clouds climbed up a big tree and observed carefully around them. They all knew that they would be ready to evacuate tomorrow and that there would be no accidents on the last day.
"Huo, are those people really that scary?" asked Wuyun.
"Well, that's the most brutal person I've ever seen. I don't know where these people came from. It's the last day, we must cheer up and never let them hurt our tribe members." Huo said seriously.
Wuyun nodded, and the two of them didn't say anything, and the atmosphere seemed a bit solemn.
Wuyun hated those guys who disturbed his life in his heart. Before his great cause of creation began, these people appeared from where they could not do what they like. Wuyun became more and more angry as he thought about it. The hand holding the bow and arrow was clenched a little white.
Huo glanced at the angry dark clouds and was puzzled. He didn't know what nerves this guy was, how he was so angry. He was about to ask when suddenly a footstep came from the jungle in front of him.
The two of them immediately became nervous, and they pulled out an arrow from the quiver behind them and placed it on the bowstring, staring at the front with their eyes tightly.
The dense leaves in front were pushed apart, and a man with a stone axe in his hand covered with paint came out. After a while, four more people with the same weapon came out one after another.
Dark Cloud whispered, "Are they those people?"
Huo nodded and whispered: "Wait until they walk in a little bit, we'll kill them."
Wuyun swallowed, grabbed the bow and arrow in his hand, and nodded heavily.
After the five people came out, they looked around. One of the quite strong people said something to the other four people, and then continued to walk forward under the leadership of this person. Their direction was Wang Lang's tribe.
After they reached the range of the bow and arrow, Huo looked at Dark Cloud and then used gestures to cut his throat. Dark Cloud nodded understandingly.
"Swoosh, swosh!"
Two arrows flew out at an extremely fast speed. With two screams, two people fell to the ground. When the other three saw their companions, they were suddenly penetrated by the strange thing flying in, and their faces were scared to death.
Someone wanted to step forward to help his fallen companion, but another arrow came straight to him. The people on the side noticed the danger and wanted to remind him to hide, but it was too late. The sharp arrow pierced directly into his eye sockets, and he died without even screaming.
The remaining two people died in a blink of an eye, and they were so scared that they were weak. One of them finally found the dark clouds hiding in the tree. Realizing that it was these two people who were doing it, they held the axe and screamed, and rushed towards the place where they were.
When Wuyun saw this man rushing towards this side, he sneered in his heart. The bow string that had been pulled into a full moon suddenly loosened, and the flying arrows headed straight for the man's face.
The man was very brave, swinging the axe and knocking the flying arrow away. With a strange scream, he swung the axe and was about to throw it at the dark cloud. Fire did not give him a chance to take action. Shortly after the dark cloud shot the arrow, Fire shot through his chest.
The man looked at the arrow that was inserted into his chest in disbelief. His body became soft and he fell to the ground.
The only remaining person saw that the situation was not good, and regardless of his dead companions, he turned around and ran to the depths of the dense forest. When they saw one escaped, they both felt very sorry.
Climbing down from the tree, checking the four people who were shot over by him, and seeing that they were all dead, they pulled down the arrows inserted into them, and the fire asked Wuyun to go back to report the news, and he stayed to continue to be alert.
Wuyun rushed back to the tribe and told Wang Lang about the discovery of the enemy's reconnaissance team. When he heard that the two had killed four people, Wang Lang was also surprised and asked in detail about the incident. He knew that they had the advantage of sneak attacks, and the number of enemies was not large. It was not surprising to use the help of bows and arrows to achieve this result.
"Lang, someone escaped, what should we do?" Wuyun said with some concern.
"It's okay, these are just the people they are responsible for the investigation. It's almost dark when they return to the tribe. If we want to send people to attack us, we will probably have to leave tomorrow. We will leave early tomorrow morning." Wang Lang said.
Wuyun looked at Wang Lang with a little indulgence but stopped.
"What's wrong, just say anything."
"Lang, I don't think we have to leave at all. With our strength, they may not be able to beat us."
Wang Lang sighed and said, "Although our weapons are better than them, have you ever thought about it? If they send people several times more than us, how can we resist the bows and arrows be invincible. As long as those people hold the bark in front of them, we will have little harm to them. If they are approached, you think you can beat several people alone."
"But Lang, look at the flat land outside, the trees cut out, and the salt ponds in the distance, are all the results of our efforts. I am really unwilling to give up just like this!" Wu Yun said with some grief and anger.
"I'm not willing to give up, but Wuyun, do you think land is important or human beings are important? You have to know that as long as people are there, these things can be obtained. What's the use of these people if they die? Our tribe is very small. What we need at present is not to fight against enemies that are stronger than us, but to strengthen ourselves and force us away. Sooner or later, we will make them pay the price. You think about it yourself and call the fire back later." After Wang Lang said that, he patted Wuyun's shoulder, letting him think about it alone, and then check the material preparations.
Wang Lang felt that Wuyun was a very smart person. As long as he figured out the pros and cons, he should know which choice was right.
