1111 - Fire
Running to the back of the team in a hurry, all the way through, the thief squeezed through the crowd and ran to the front.
"What's the matter?" he heard the monkey crying in the treetops, and the thief asked anxiously.
The hussar tribesman who had bitten his horse stepped forward and reported with grief and indignation: "Patriarch, these damn monkeys have bitten my horse!"
The thief looked over and saw four blood holes in the neck of the war horse, which were trickling blood.
He frowned and shouted, "Ah Bai, come and bandage the wound of the war horse." ”
The hussar asked, "Chief, are we going to clean up these monkeys?"
Ji Thief glanced upwards at the monkeys who were showing off his might, and his heart was also unusually irritable, but he still stabilized his temperament: "No, the key now is to find a place to camp." ”
The hussar tribesman was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes were full of doubts when he saw the thief.
Although he didn't understand it in his heart, under the prestige of the thief, the hussar tribesman still didn't dare to disobey the thief's order, and nodded and obeyed.
Glancing resentfully at the monkeys in the treetops, the team set off again.
It is not only the people below who are resentful of the monkeys, but also the thieves.
You know, these monkeys are not just as simple as committing cheap, the most important thing is that for several days, including at night, these monkeys keep barking, and the thieves are upset. If it weren't for his perseverance, it would have erupted a long time ago.
Soon, Ah Hu sent his people back to answer him, saying that he had found a suitable place to camp.
When the thief heard this, he said that he could finally get rid of these monkeys, so he hurriedly asked his people to speed up.
About 20 minutes away, I saw a gentle river bank next to a water source, about the size of two football fields, Ah Hu was leading people to clean up gravel and weeds.
At the sound of the thief's order, the tribesmen pushed forward the wagons carrying supplies and weapons, and they first formed a circle by the river with the wagons to make the outermost wall. Then they began to unload the trees from the wagons and began to set up camp.
On the riverbank, everyone was in full swing.
Ah Hu led some of his tribesmen to patrol the riverbank.
The thief took advantage of this effort to gather the other people in charge together to discuss how to deal with the White Ape Mountain Range.
"I don't believe how powerful a group of monkeys can be, since we are here to conquer the White Ape Mountain Range, then it is the same to clean up these monkeys by the way. ”
Beast Blood insisted on his thoughts as always.
"Beast Blood Clan Chief, you'd better believe it, these monkeys are really powerful. Tens of thousands. ”
Olgar persuaded with a sad face.
The beast blood slapped his chest: "Yes, then let these monkeys come, I'll just wait for them here, see how powerful they are..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud shout from the side: "Get out! Get out of here! You greedy brutes!"
Everyone in the meeting was stunned for a moment, and when they looked back, they saw that outside the first line of defense formed by the carriage, there were four or five monkeys rummaging for supplies in the carriage.
One of the clansmen found out and ran over with a bronze spear to chase him away.
Who would have thought that those monkeys who were used to stealing a few days ago would open their mouths this time, burrow their heads into the carriage and bite and swallow the raw meat placed on top of the carriage.
It wasn't until the people ran up to them that the monkeys dispersed with a loud noise.
The man stood by the carriage in distress, holding a copper spear and scolding with his feet.
Seeing this scene, Ji Thief's face became gloomy.
Yi Geng said: "Patriarch, it can't go on like this, these monkeys have become more and more bold since we came in at the beginning." ”
The beast blood also said angrily: "Yes, warrior, it won't work if you don't clean them up." ”
In the past few days, the blood of beasts has also been tortured by monkeys.
Ji Thief hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, inform Ah Hu to let him increase the number of patrol manpower, and don't conflict with the monkey for the time being." ”
Seeing the thief like this, the beast blood just sighed and stomped his feet.
The number of Hu's patrols has increased, but he has taken care of the temporary camp to avoid being harassed by monkeys.
Soon, the camp was erected, and while the tribesmen pitched their tents, all the hunting tribesmen went up to the bridge of the camp to stand guard.
In the distance, they saw the heads of many monkeys poking out of the bushes and woods on the banks of the river, but these monkeys did not dare to come and steal for a while.
There was nothing to say during the day, and at night, everyone who had been tired for several days could finally have time to rest.
But who would have thought that as soon as they lay down, a group of thieves came in the night.
The thief couldn't sleep, and patrolled the camp with a flag gun.
Tsuchiyama followed behind the thief with several tiger guards.
The bonfire rose in the camp, and the thief walked while making a serious round.
"Patriarch, have you been too careful since you entered the White Ape Mountain Range?"
As he was walking, Tushan suddenly spoke.
Ji Thief paused for a moment, turned his head and looked: "Why do you say that?"
Tushan said: "I think what Lord Beast Blood said is right, it's just a group of monkeys, we don't need to be polite to them, but since you came into the White Ape Mountain Range, you have been letting them." Along the way, our people are about to be driven crazy by these monkeys!"
Ji Thief licked his lips: "I also want to catch these cheap monkeys and clean them up, but you also heard that there are 40,000 monkeys here, if they want to harass them, let them harass them, as long as we don't have any big losses." We are here to conquer the local people, and then to provoke the monkeys, isn't that to find an enemy for ourselves? ”
Tsuchiyama blinked.
At this time, suddenly a tiger guard raised his hand and pointed to the front and said uncertainly: "Patriarch, there, it seems to be on fire." ”
Hearing this, the thief was stunned for a moment, and looked up.
But isn't it, the tents used to store supplies and medicine not far ahead have been stained with flames.
The fire in the tent used to store pine resin and animal fat burned unstoppably.
But in more than ten seconds, there was already a fire in front of him, and the fire dragon rose into the air.
Even the tent next to it, where food and medicine were stored, was affected and a fire broke out.
Ji Thief's eyes were about to pop out, and he scolded: "What's the matter with the grass! Didn't you say that you couldn't light a fire there? Who did it!"
Tushan's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly pointed to a figure in the firelight: "Patriarch, what do you think it is?"
The thief looked in the direction of Tushan's finger, only to see that in the environment where there was fire everywhere, a monkey was squeaking, and its fur was licked by the flames, and it was burned bare.
"Damn, it's a monkey again!"
The thief scolded, and rushed over with a flag gun.
Tushan was afraid that the thief would lose, so he hurried forward.
When the people ran to the front, the monkey had been surrounded by a sea of fire, and it could not get out of the circle, and it could not stop calling in a hurry.
Seeing the thief coming, the monkey in the sea of fire shook off and shouted demonstratively.
The thief glanced at the supplies consumed by the flames, and almost hated it to death, and if he could, he even wanted to rush in and stab the monkey to death.
It's a pity that the thief can't ignore the burning flames around him.
The flames continued to burn, turning the otherwise quiet camp into a bustle.
Many of the tribesmen were awakened, and when they saw the fire going on, they rushed into the camp where they were cooking, picked up the crockpots, and ran into the nearby stream.
The fire extinguished back and forth, and the nervous and rapid cries of the monkeys in the sea of fire slowly slowed down.
What's even funnier is that the water splashed over, and the monkey, who was trapped in the sea of fire and burned by the heat, was still lying on the ground, opening its mouth and sticking out its tongue to catch the water splashed by the tribesmen.
"Squeak. ”
The monkey screamed excitedly.
With everyone's efforts, the fire was quickly extinguished.
But the pine resin and animal oil carried on this expedition were all wasted.
Even with it, the food that was enough for eight hundred people to eat for three days was all turned into coke.
Everyone was standing around the fire, and they all stared at the unusable piece of flesh in a daze.
Yi didn't believe it, and ran into the embers to try to find out if all the food was inedible.
But the thief, however, turned his head to the fire at this time, looking at the monkey who had been burned all the hair and turned bare.
