    ☆, Ancient Era 15

    “Ouch…”

    Another beast roar came, and Taishan and other children of the tribe crowded together. When they heard the sound, some people couldn’t help but curiously looked out.

    “Be calm!” The woman guarding the children patted the kid on the head impatiently, “The beasts haven’t left yet, so hide well.”

    “But,” the child touched his head, “As long as Yao is here, the beasts will leave sooner or later.”

    That’s right, Taishan nodded silently in his heart. Although the roars of beasts all over the mountains and plains were still continuing, they were already getting farther and farther away. Yao must have blocked the beast tide again.

    Since entering late autumn, beast tides have become more and more frequent. Almost every four or five days, a group of wild beasts will appear in the jungle. If it were normal, the tribe would have hid in the mountains and forests under the leadership of the clan leader. But now there is Yao, a woman who was regarded as a weird person by the tribe at first. The power she possesses is mysterious and awe-inspiring.

    In the hearts of Taishan and He’s friends, Yao, who has protected the tribe from the beast tide time and time again, is even more powerful than Mu Sheng. Unlike the adults who are still wary of the beast tide, He and his friends 100% believe in Yao, and she will definitely be able to stop the beast tide again.

    Hearing the sound of the beasts slowly dispersing, the women also breathed a sigh of relief, and the stagnant atmosphere relaxed. They talked and laughed while calling the children to leave the cave used to hide the beasts.

    When they returned to the village, they saw messy animal paw prints everywhere on the ground. Yao and Mu Sheng stood aside, wondering what they were talking about.Taishan walked from the side and faintly heard a few intermittent words, such as “strange” and “too frequent”.

    “There are indeed a lot of beast tides this year.” Mu Sheng pondered, and they have happened from time to time since the beginning of autumn. In previous years, there would be a beast tide until late autumn.

    Rather than moving south to spend the winter, the herds were hiding from something. When Yao Ji sensed the emotion, they were anxious and frightened. They did not stop after arriving in the Wushan area, but ran further south without hesitation.

    “Snow leopards like the cold and will not move south before winter comes, but…” In the wave of animals that had just left, Mu Sheng saw a group of snow leopards. Their thick fur not only made them not afraid of the cold, but also hated warm and humid places, but they followed the herd and continued south.

    “I have to discuss it with the clan leader and Shao Qi.” Mu Sheng said solemnly. The strange behavior of the beasts was definitely not simple. Although he didn’t know the reason, the tribe still had to make preparations in advance.

    Yao Ji nodded, and after watching him leave, her lips fell. She did not tell Mu Sheng that what was bad was not only the performance of the beasts, but also her own special abilities.It was becoming more and more difficult. When controlling the beasts to leave, Yao Ji felt more and more powerless.Not only was the size of the herd getting bigger and bigger each time, but she felt that the power was slowly falling asleep.If… there was another bigger beast wave, I’m afraid she wouldn’t be able to stop it.

    Yao Ji has many things on her mind. Not only that, she has become more and more sleepy recently and her body often feels tired.She didn’t tell Mu Sheng that as the tide of beasts became more and more frequent, there was no grass growing anywhere where the beasts passed by. Mu Sheng was almost overextending himself in order to try his best to hunt.

    It was the same day. After he came out of Fang Kang’s stone house, he immediately left the village with the stone spear and the hunting team. Even Shao Qi, who would stay in the village as usual, also led another team into the jungle.As winter approaches, there will be fewer and fewer prey, and hunting will become more and more dangerous. Frequent animal infestations often cause hunters to be injured, and one man even almost died.

    But they didn’t stop, and they couldn’t stop. Once they retreated, the tribe would have no food for the winter.

    The men are working hard outside, and the women are working even harder. The heavy work of fishing originally belonged to the men, but now it is also taken over by the women. Every day, dozens of women sit on simple rafts to fish on the river.The rest are trying their best to pick wild fruits and stock up on food for the winter.

    Because of her petite stature, Yao Ji has always been assigned to the picking team. Although her body is extremely exhausted, she has never used this to escape from work – she is Mu Sheng’s woman, and she doesn’t want people to think that she is delicate, let alone discredit Mu Sheng.

    But her face was pale and there was cold sweat on her forehead. Several women saw her and asked worriedly: “Yao, are you okay?”

    Yao Ji felt her temples bulging with pain and her head was buzzing. She forced a smile and said, “It’s okay… I’m just a little dizzy.”

    “You should rest for a while,” Tuyu, who had always had a good relationship with her, took the basket in her hand, “Don’t hold on, go sit there for a while.”

    Yao Ji couldn’t hold on any longer. She thanked Tu Yu for his kindness and started looking for a place to sit down and rest.It had just rained yesterday, and everything in the wild fruit forest was wet. It wasn’t until several hundred meters away that she saw a piece of dry grass.

    When she sat down, her tense nerves seemed to relax a little. She let out a long breath, leaned half against the tree trunk, and fell asleep without realizing it.

    Soon it was dusk, and the women packed up the fruits of the day’s work and greeted their companions to go home in small groups. Tuyu looked left and right, but he didn’t see Yao Ji anywhere.”Where’s Yao?” She grabbed a familiar woman and asked.

    “Didn’t see it.”

    “Speaking of which, I’ve never seen her…”

    “Didn’t she go to rest?” A woman pointed in the east direction, “I saw her going that way before.”

    Several people walked together in that direction. Tuyu looked around and stopped on a piece of dry grass.It seemed that someone had stayed there not long ago. The weeds were weighed down crookedly, and someone drew a circle and a square on the exposed soil with their fingers.

    It’s Yuan Fangbu.

    The larger beast tide that Yao Ji worried about has indeed arrived, but they are not attacking Wu Shan, but Yuan Fang.As the largest tribe in this land, even the powerful Yuan Fang was so vulnerable to the menacing beasts.

    The Yuan Fang tribe suffered huge losses. Almost half of the precious women died, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.The patriarch of the Yuanfang tribe issued the strictest order to He’s hunters. They must get that woman. Since Wu Shan refuses to exchange, then go and grab it!

    So Yao Ji was kidnapped. Although she secretly left a mark on the ground, she was not sure that anyone would notice it.To make matters worse, she is pregnant.

    Because she was a very important woman to the tribe, the Yuanfang people who kidnapped her did not take advantage of her like they did with other female captives. They also provided her with three meals a day, but she could not eat them at all.Once again, when a bowl of broth was brought to her, she finally couldn’t help but retched.

    Those Yuanfang people had a bad attitude to begin with, and when they saw this, they became even more angry: “Bitch, don’t think I can’t teach you a lesson!”

    “Wait a minute,” his companion stopped him. He looked at the woman lying on the ground and retched, and said suspiciously, “This woman…couldn’t she be pregnant?”

    She was indeed pregnant, and the fatigue and lethargy she had been feeling finally got an explanation. This child, the child she had been really looking forward to, had arrived at such an unfortunate time.

    The Yuanfang people would not give her preferential treatment just because she was a pregnant woman. It would be better to say that because she was pregnant with Wu Shanbei’s child, they were eager to abort the child.Yao Ji gritted her teeth and forced herself to eat. She had to hold on and save her child, her and Mu Sheng’s child.

    Mu Sheng will come to save her. Knowing that she is missing, Mu Sheng will definitely come to save her.

    “Are you going to save her?” Fang Kang’s face was gloomy. “She was taken away by Yuan Fang. To save her, we will start a war with Yuan Fang!”

    Mu Sheng did not speak, and his silence undoubtedly meant persistence. This scene seemed to overlap with that time. The tribe’s first warrior, the candidate for the next clan leader, once again chose that woman.

    Very good, Fang Kang thought coldly, this is your choice.”I think you understand how important this matter is,” Fang Kang said. “It is impossible for the tribe to fight against the Yuan Fang tribe over a woman. If you still persist, Mu Sheng, you will lose the qualification to become the tribe leader.”

    The crowd surrounding the house suddenly burst into an uproar. No one expected that things would develop to this point. Before that, Mu Sheng had almost been accepted as the next clan leader by the entire tribe.But what Fang Kang did was right. Even if Yao was very important, even if she had done a lot for the tribe, the one who captured her was the Yuan Fang tribe, the most powerful Yuan Fang tribe in this land!

    “Mu Sheng…” Someone tried to stop him, “Let’s forget it…”

    People’s faces were full of worry and helplessness. Do they really want to go against Yuan Fang for Yao and the entire tribe?

    “I will save her back,” this sentence undoubtedly means that he has given up his position as the patriarch, but there is no resentment on the man’s face, just an unusual calmness.The panic and anger that almost made his blood coagulate when he learned that she was missing seemed to have disappeared. He just said stubbornly and calmly – like a cheetah that had been lurking in the wilderness all day and was about to kill its prey – said, “Even if I am the only one, I am not representing the tribe.”

    But as a man, she’s man, to save his woman.

    He turned around and strode away.
