Chapter 132 Siege and Suppression

"What's the matter?

"Why are you here?" Zhang Yutong shouted down.

When we ignored her, the native continued, "Chief, cannibals came to this island with a large tribe. They lured us to the sea and killed many of us. Fortunately, we had guns and came back with about a dozen."

"They came?" It's unbelievable. They don't have the skills to find us directly. When we left, we left no trail to follow.

Several other people had gathered, and they were all at a loss, not expecting this to happen.

Soon, She led some men from the outside. When they came to the front, She burst onto her knees and cried, "Sir, our tribe is gone again."

I pulled her up and asked her softly, "Don't cry, Wa, what is it?"

Uwa led us to the pile of stones where we had built our shack. When we sat down, she told us. Just the day before yesterday, a group of women went to the beach to take a dip and two of them came running back and told the tribe that they had seen a whale that had washed up on the beach.

One whale is enough to feed our tribe for a year, and the news is exciting. All hands on deck and follow them to the beach. The whale didn't see it, but was surrounded by hundreds of people who rushed out of the woods.

Because nobody was on guard. They only had a few guns. They used poisoned arrows and killed many people. Using the power of their guns, They broke out of the siege and ran back to the tribe. But the larger tribes were on their heels. It would have been extremely advantageous to have guns. But with shotguns and rifles, you either have to reload the gun once you shoot, or you have to pull the bolt once you shoot. Seriously affected the efficiency of the counterattack.

The larger tribes still had the upper hand because of their numbers, speed and density. And in the course of the counterattack one of the rifles was blown. Seeing that the situation was over, She took the rest of her tribe, about a dozen people, and fled through the V-shaped gap in the highlands, running all the way to the Waterfall Mountain.

Originally they want to defend the waterfall mountain cliff, but there is no food, weapons are not replenishment, they had to choose to retreat into the bottom of the sinkhole.

After climbing the waterfall mountain, the great tribe had conquered the break in the road on the sinkhole cliff. Because the road is narrow and rough, the ground below is twenty meters in the air. Personnel can only arrive in formation, there is no time to set up rope ladder and rope down, several rounds of attack was more than Uwa with people to repel.

I looked around. "Is there anyone else?"

"Resting in the house." Wa pointed.

I let Lucie and Zhang Yutong in to see who is still alive.

"We wanted to go to look for you in that world, but it was all sand and we didn't dare go." She went on to explain, "SO I came back here to defend the house and not let all the good things fall into the hands of the big tribe. I've been waiting for you to come back, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

"The cannibals are here, I heard earlier?" The cannibals must have done a great job finding us here. Although we don't know why.

Wu Wa nodded. "There are not only cannibals, but also people from other small tribes, but most of them belong to larger tribes. They all use poisoned arrows, and even if they scratch the skin, they will die."

"If so, it will be very difficult for us to fight our way out." Cui bin said, "I had only been walking for a few days and this happened."

I could not help sighing.

"I was not careful enough." "When they went to the sea, there were six or seven of them, but what came back was two cannibal girls," She said. If I had been more careful, this would not have happened."

"It's not your fault, even if I was. I'll fall for that, too." The nine women of the cannibals have been very quiet since they followed us, who would have doubted them, and the main thing is that no one would have thought that a great tribe would find this place.

Nine cannibal women were taken, too, because the treehouse tribe had a small population and wanted to help them repopulate. You're too smart to be smart.

"Don't blame yourselves, all of you." Cui Bin enlightening said: "The world is unpredictable, this matter who also can't complain."

At this time, Zhang Yutong and Lu Xi, led the other survivors walked over. Li Ding saw the original teng Yi weave rushed up and hugged her, two people are very loud cry. Li Yunna and Lao Cheng also survived. There are only three aboriginal women left.

There were three men guarding the bottom of the cliff, and there were only eleven who survived. With us, we lost half the population.

After greeting one by one, WE went to the cliff to see some, can see a lot of figure wandering on the cliff road, because of the distance, as small as ants.

I held out my hand. "Give me a rifle."

"Let me do it, captain." Don't jump to the front.

He raised his gun and took aim for a long time. There was a shot, and a man fell down the cliff. He fell into the pool with a loud bang.

"Go get the body and set it on fire." Without the tribe, we have less food to feed without the dead bodies contaminating the water and the fish in it.

Other people lie on the edge of the view, zhebie and Cui Bin killed a respectively. One lay prone on the road, and as the other fell out, the others pulled him up.

Soon all the people up there were in hiding.

"I'll leave it to you." I patted Chebe on the shoulder and asked him to teach the other three aboriginians to aim and shoot from a distance.

I answered the house with the rest of us, and we sat down on the old sofa.

Cheng said, "I think the cannibal wizards had something to do with them finding this place. Witchcraft is a very mysterious thing, not in the way that is commonly understood. They do sometimes get mysterious alerts or reminders. Perhaps the sorcerer saw our island in a dream or prayer and joined forces with a large tribe to find it."

Several women, along with the aborigines, were the first to express their support for Cheng's analysis and to ask if Cheng had ever seen sorcerer practices before. Cheng told of watching wizards as a child. 

I do not believe in any of this. Gu from ponder up, thought for a long time after a flash of light in the brain, there is a reliable promise.

Zhang Yutong and the three of them were captured by cannibals. The spears and bows and arrows we used all have the mark of the tribe before. It should be after being completely defeated by us, the sorcerer found important information from the captured spears and bows and arrows.

Maybe he knew about the tribe on Cuckoo, or maybe he didn't. But from the markings on the weapons it was clear that we were from another tribe, or that we were deeply involved with another tribe.

He went to the great tribes with his discovery. It is no surprise that a large tribe with a much larger population and a much more advanced civilization was aware of the existence of a tribe on cuckoo Island. The wizard is a more cunning man, and there must have been some exaggerated description of a great horde coming upon this island to besiege us. Otherwise there is no reason for the great horde to avenge them. You can see it in the way the great tribes are after our people.

In particular, there is a big sinkhole on our island, which Uwa resolutely defended. And convince the big tribe that we have hidden treasure or something. Guns, of course, can also be called treasure.

I put my guess out there, and we all thought for a moment and accepted this more reasonable answer.

Seeing old Cheng looking embarrassed, I said, "Uncle Cheng, what you said is reasonable. A cave, for example, separates the two worlds. It makes more sense for wizards to have powers."

Old cheng dry smile: "I just think so, but in this matter, I think or your answer is closer to the real some." 

I waved my hand. "It doesn't matter. The important thing is that they came and lost half of our tribe. We must get it back."
