"Because as long as he goes back, he will take people to level your stronghold. This is called letting the tiger go back to the mountain! And we will kill them all here. At least, we can let the other party find us later. We can take this opportunity to find a way back!" Zhao Yuande slowly explained to him.
"I see. Are we going to give up this cottage and return to the displaced life?" Shi chongtian turned to look at his father and mother first and his brother who has always been mentally depressed. He may be frightened by this cruel battle.
"Yes, he's right. You need to look for a place to build a stronghold again!" the high priest's room slowly opened and the high priest came out. He nodded gently to Zhao Yuande and looked at the people, "who is willing to stay, me and drag these demons, so that our future generations can evacuate safely!"
"I! All my relatives have been killed by those demons. I want to stay and fight to the death with them!"
"I will fight them to the end!"
"Count me in!"
“……”
Soon there were forty or fifty strong soldiers gathered. They all looked at death as if they were at home, and their faces were full of perseverance.
Maybe it's for revenge, maybe it's for delaying time for future generations. They are great and worthy of respect!
Zhao Yuande also wanted to stay, but the high priest shook his head and refused!
"You help me take them to a safe place!" the high priest solemnly ordered, "I know you won't stay here for a long time, but I hope you can help me protect them for a period of time!"
"Don't worry!" Zhao Yuande nodded and turned to the Shi people who were about to migrate.
"If the high priest gives you to me, I will be responsible for you! Now listen to me, I don't want all the items, just take the weapons!" Zhao Yuande ordered these people.
Everyone can accept the fact that they are led by Zhao Yuande without hesitation. The ability of Zhao Yuande has convinced them!
There are more than 300 people in the stronghold, of which 100 are old people and children, and 100 are women. There are only about 100 real soldiers. More than a dozen people died in the battle just now, leaving 40 or 50 people. Now there are only about 40 soldiers in the migration team. Under the leadership of Zhao Yuande, they walk towards the depths of the mountains in the dark.
Fortunately, these soldiers hunt in this mountain forest all year round and are very familiar with the terrain here. By dawn, they have walked hundreds of miles.
"Sacrifice! I was chased by fierce animals last time when I was hunting. I had no choice but to enter a valley. There were many wild fruits and a cave in the valley. We can take refuge there first! Then we will send soldiers to look for a place where we can build a stronghold." Shi chongtian's father is called Shifang. Although his combat effectiveness is not as good as his mother-in-law, But the brain works well.
"OK! Let's go to the place you said first. You can lead the way ahead!" Zhao Yuande thought it was a good idea. Although so many old people and children were stronger than ordinary people outside, they were still tired and panting after hundreds of miles.
The place mentioned by stonework is not far away, and it is only hundreds of miles away. It is located on the hillside of a huge mountain and covered by countless dense weeds and trees. It is still a good refuge.
There is a long canyon. After entering, it is a small valley, about the size of a football field.
There are some wild peach trees here, and a group of golden monkeys guard here.
Zhao Yuande and his team made great efforts to kill these monkeys, which was really helpless. They had no choice in order to survive.
There is a stream in the valley. The stream flows to the cave. I'm not afraid of no water source. The stream turned around in the cave and finally disappeared into the crack of a rock, becoming the source of groundwater.
"The cave is not small enough to accommodate all of us." Zhao Yuande inspected the cave and thought the environment was pretty good, "Chongtian, take your brother and dig more caves in the cave to store food! Uncle Shi, find some women to cut down the weeds in the valley, dry them and lay them in the cave to prevent moisture. Uncle Shi man, take people out to hunt, but be careful. Stay away from demons and don't let them track you!"
Zhao Yuande issued orders again and again, and everyone obeyed him.
Soon the day passed, and Zhao Yuande suddenly felt a little tired.
At the moment, he is listening to the report of stonework. In fact, he is complaining that those women are not obedient, that his mother-in-law is jealous, and that the weeds are not completely dried during the day
"Well, uncle Shi Fang, these are not problems. The problem is that it's very cold tonight. How do these children and old heat get through?" Zhao Yuande waved his hand. He felt a headache.
"We can make a fire and let everyone bake." Shi Fang didn't want to answer directly.
"Make a fire in the valley? Do you want to be exposed early? In this case, what's the point of our escape here?" Zhao Yuande frowned.
"Why not make a fire in the cave?" the stone asked tentatively.
"I was choked before I was frozen to death!" Zhao Yuande shook his head and didn't know what the other party thought in his head.
"What about that?" the stone scratched his head.
"Hey! I'm worried!" Zhao Yuande looked at the sinking sunset and frowned.
"Over there... Isn't that the direction of our mountain stronghold? Why is it on fire!" the stone suddenly got stuck in the distance, and a thick smoke rose.
"Come on, let's go to the top of the mountain!" Zhao Yuande's body is like a spirit ape. After several ups and downs, he rushed to the top of the mountain. Looking around, he really saw the fire of the stronghold, and he can feel the tragedy hundreds of miles away.
"High priest, they... May have died in battle!" the stone's lips trembled, like a deflated ball, directly paralyzed to the ground.
"High priest, and brothers... I will avenge you!" Shi man clenched his axe, his lips were bitten and blood rolled.
"Well! They probably found that there were only so many high priests. They bought time for us. We also hunted a lot of prey today. It's best not to go out of the valley in ten days! And everyone can't stay in the valley during the day. They all hide in the cave." Zhao Yuande suddenly felt a heavy burden on his shoulder.
He wondered if he had come to the wa palace to try? Why did this happen? Is this a test for me? Where are the other 5000 people?
Zhao Yuande really didn't understand these things, so he didn't think about them at all. Anyway, he did things from his heart, did what he felt he should do, and went his own way.
He suddenly thought of a question, why are these Huaxu's strong people not suppressed, they can wantonly display their spiritual power, but they can't?
If you can use the spirit, even a trace can send all these stone people to the other side of the world, you don't have to be so busy as now.
However, this is a fantasy. Now the spirit is suppressed. He can only try his best to protect these stone people.
The fire burned all day and night, and they hid in the cave all day and night. During this period, Zhao Yuande went back to explore himself. Sure enough, he found a large number of people in black of Huaxu nationality searching outside, and strong people flying in the sky from time to time, but these people didn't find the secret of the mountain valley.
