Chapter 1051: In desperate situation again!
After the candidates were determined, the other tribesmen who were not selected immediately got busy, preparing the necessary weapons and sufficient food for the five people who were about to set off to Yaoshan.
Everything is ready and we are about to set off.
Before leaving, Ah Qing and the other four who were already prepared said goodbye to each other and many other tribesmen.
This time, the five of them were actually ready to sacrifice at any time.
After this separation, we may meet again soon, or we may be separated by death.
Some tribesmen held their hands and repeatedly told them to be careful; others gave them amulets they made themselves, hoping that they would be blessed with a safe return.
Ah Qing looked at his mother, whose face was filled with worry, with a determined gleam in his eyes.
He secretly vowed to return alive from Yaoshan with a full load.
.....
The sky gradually became darker, as if a thick black veil covered the entire earth.
Mo Shan led all his tribesmen and stood quietly outside the tribe.
Everyone's face showed an expression of anxiety and anticipation.
Time passed minute by minute, and finally, five figures running hurriedly appeared in the distance.
Instantly, everyone's anxious hearts were relieved a little. The people who came were Ah Qing and the other five.
Ah Qing rushed to the front of the team like an arrow. He ran all the way without even having time to adjust his breathing, and rushed straight to Mo Shan.
Then, he quickly carried the woven basket on his back to Mo Shan.
"Chief, look!"
Mo Shan took a closer look and found that the woven basket was filled with various medicinal herbs.
Soon after, the other four people arrived one after another, panting. They carefully placed the woven baskets they were carrying on the ground.
Without exception, each woven basket is filled with medicinal herbs that exude a faint fragrance.
Ah Qing ran in the front and rushed to Moshan in one breath, and lifted the woven basket on her back to him like offering a treasure.
Mo Shan looked carefully and saw that the woven basket was full of medicinal herbs.
The other four people also came over one after another and put down the woven basket.
They were all filled with herbs.
"There are so many!" Mo Shan's eyes flashed with disbelief.
At the same time, the tribesmen around also exclaimed in unison.
"Oh my god, so many herbs can be exchanged for at least 300 kilograms of beast meat."
"It turns out that going to Yaoshan is the right decision. If we continue like this, we will be able to collect the stipends soon."
"Hahaha, great, we now have a way out."
For a moment, joy spread among the crowd like ripples.
Night falls quietly, and the vast night sky is dotted with stars.
A blazing bonfire was lit in the center of the tribe. The flames shot up into the sky, illuminating every hopeful face.
At night, all the tribesmen danced around the campfire.
Everyone sang loudly, imagining a bright future.
But the good times did not last long. The next day, Moshan sent another five people to Yaoshan.
This time everyone returned empty-handed, and not a single herb was brought back.
Looking at the five people with their heads down and looking very guilty, Mo Shan could only continue to comfort them.
On the third day, they collected a few plants, but they were only enough to exchange for more than 20 kilograms of meat.
On the fourth day, nothing was achieved.
On the fifth day, still nothing was found.
On the sixth day, Ah Qing led the team and barely managed to pick a dozen herbs, but they encountered a second-level wild beast on the way. The five of them quickly fled, but they still suffered considerable external and internal injuries.
Although I gained a little bit in these few days, I almost paid the price of my life.
Seeing this, Mo Shan had no choice but to stop immediately.
If this continues, something serious might happen.
But it was already the sixth day, and after all they had done, even lowering their heads to borrow from other tribes, they had only managed to gather a little over a thousand pounds of meat.
Now their own patron saint is still hungry, and tomorrow the envoy of Tianqiu tribe will come to collect offerings.
The situation suddenly became desperate.
"No, Chief, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We must hurry..."
Ah Qing's face was as pale as paper, his steps were unsteady, and the wounds on his body were still oozing blood, but he was still thinking about going to Yaoshan.
However, Mo Shan would never let him die.
"A Qing, you are already seriously injured. If you insist on going to Yaoshan now, you will definitely die!" Mo Shan's voice was low and serious, with an unquestionable tone in his words.
"I will never let you die!"
Hearing Mo Shan's words, Ah Qing's body trembled violently and a look of pain appeared on his face.
"Clan leader!"
"It's already the sixth day. Don't you know that if we don't collect the offerings by tomorrow, our entire family will be sold out?"
"There will be no room for redemption by then!!"
“Just let me go!!”
As soon as Ah Qing finished speaking, other tribesmen echoed him.
"Yes, Chief, rather than being sold out, it is better to go to Yaoshan and give it a try."
"We are still short of more than a thousand kilograms of beast meat. I believe we can gather it all!"
"Ah Qing is right. There is no other way now. We will die anyway, so we might as well give it a try!"
But Mo Shan was still very hesitant.
It’s not that he is afraid of death, but he really doesn’t want to see so many of his tribesmen die in vain.
In that case...
I don’t know what he was thinking about, but Mo Shan’s eyes gradually became firm.
"Okay, stop making trouble!"
The roar was like thunder out of nowhere, making everyone's ears buzz.
For a moment, the noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Mo Shan.
"Don't go to Yaoshan, let me, the clan leader, go!"
"Chief!!!" The tribesmen were all horrified, with expressions of shock on their faces.
They could never have imagined that Mo Shan would make such a decision.
However, Mo Shan was not moved at all. He waved his hand and said firmly:
"I will go to Yaoshan alone. I will try my best to collect herbs."
"Chief, how could we let you go to Yaoshan alone? We will go with you!"
"Yes, Chief, let's go together!"
Mo Shan shook his head: "It's useless for you to go."
"I am a second-level warrior, and you are not even at the first level. You are too weak. Going to Yaoshan is like going to die."
"At least I can protect myself. You don't have to worry about me. It would be difficult to act with more people."
"If I'm not back before dark, you guys should try to run away, take our patron saint with you, and start over in a place where the Tianqiu tribe can't find us."
But how could the tribesmen listen to Mo Shan?
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in everyone's mind!
