C15 The Cry of the Crane

Wu Xiaoming and the others were very fast, but the Human-faced Five-Colored Poison Spider was obviously faster than them. Hearing the rustling of the branches and the strange laughs getting closer and closer, Wu Xiaoming nervously turned his head and looked back. Damn, looking at the beautiful face that was just inches away from him, he couldn't help but shout and threw the giant deer on his back over.

After removing the javelins on his body, he threw them out one by one. Every javelin accurately shot the Human-faced Five-Colored Poisons Spider down from the top of the tree. The Human-faced Five-Colored Poison Spiders of different sizes fell like dumplings. Once they landed on the ground, they were smashed into meat paste, corroding the surrounding shrubs and grasses. They kept making sizzling sounds, and a strong stench rose.

In less than a minute, Wu Xiaoming had already thrown out all fifty javelins on his body. "Uncle Di, you guys leave the javelins behind. I'll cover the retreat!" When Wu Xiaoming saw that the number of Five-Colored Poison Spiders was increasing, he saw that there were at least four hundred of them on the branches that reached the clouds. Moreover, the number was still increasing. The speed of the clan members was already one step slower than them. If no one covered the retreat, they would probably be buried in their stomachs.

Wu Xiaoming quickly retreated while grabbing the javelins that his clansmen had placed on the ground and throwing them. Due to his nervousness, his accuracy was much worse, but there were still Poison Spiders falling to the ground. Soon, all the javelins were used up. Wu Xiaoming was sure that he had killed at least four hundred of them, but the strange sounds of the javelins hitting the ground and the rustling of the branches kept coming. "Damn, I've poked a spider's nest. Why are there so many!" He quickly chased after Uncle Di and the others.

"Human Emperor, are you alright?" Dong asked as he ran with the huge wild deer on his shoulder. "I'm fine, let's go. Maybe we can leave the forest." Wu Xiaoming ran quickly and urged his clansmen to increase their speed.

There was nothing in front of them. A bamboo forest that was as tall as two people appeared in front of Wu Xiaoming and his clansmen. The Poison Spiders, which were less than twenty meters away from them, kept spitting out spider silk in an attempt to catch them. Wu Xiaoming and his clansmen were like monkeys as they jumped around and changed their escape directions from time to time.

When they escaped the forest, the Five-Colored Poison Spiders had also arrived at the edge of the forest. They were all in front of them. Wu Xiaoming did not have the time to look at them carefully. He thought that they would give up on chasing after them after they left the forest. He did not expect them to continuously land on the ground and chase after them even faster.

It seemed that he would be the first to die. Even if he encountered a super powerful wild beast like a Snow Beast, he could still fight to the death. However, looking at these guys who were poisonous and could even corrode the soil into water, how could he fight them? If he encountered them, he would die.

The sound of cranes that came from the sky interrupted Wu Xiaoming's thoughts. The sky suddenly darkened. When Wu Xiaoming and his clansmen raised their heads, they realized that it was not the sky that had darkened. A group of hundreds of giant cranes covered the sky and flew over from afar.

The giant white crane that was more than a hundred meters in height was circling in the air at a low altitude. Its beak was at least thirty meters long, and its snow-white head was covered with a bright red crown. It looked like a dazzling ruby was embedded in the crown of a white gold crown, and lightning was circling around it.

Wu Xiaoming and the other clan members were lying on top of the tall grass, afraid that a slight sound would cause the giant crane to attack.

The Five-Colored Poison Spider that had just left the forest was lingering at the edge of the forest. More and more of them appeared, and in a short while, there was a large group of them. The strange cries of the Five-Colored Poison Spider and the cawing of the crane intertwined together. When the Five-Colored Poison Spider discovered the giant crane above its head, its cries became even louder.

The giant crane circled around for a while, and the huge crown on its head released a burst of lightning at the same time. It landed on the Five-Colored Poison Spider like a net of lightning. The poisonous spiders trembled all over their bodies and shriveled up on the ground. The giant crane kept circling around, and the net of lightning would occasionally land on the poisonous spiders, causing more poisonous spiders to shrivel up on the ground.

The Five-Colored Poison Spider cawed even louder. The poisonous spiders behind it suddenly shot out spider threads when the giant crane circled in the air again. They rushed towards the giant crane like a net of lightning. The giant crane quickly spread its wings and flew high into the sky. One of the giant cranes was a step slower and was entangled by the giant net. It crashed onto the ground like a meteorite, causing dust to fly everywhere. The cawing of the crane became even more rapid.

The Five-Colored Poison Spider quickly rushed towards the giant crane that had landed on the ground. However, it saw that the giant crane was surrounded by lightning. The spider web immediately turned into ashes and scattered around the giant crane. More spider webs shot towards the giant crane. The giant crane that had landed on the ground wanted to spread its wings and fly high into the sky, but spider webs kept twining around its wings. Lightning flashed, and the ashes that were scattered around the giant crane accumulated to the height of a person.

Seeing that the Poison Spiders were about to crawl around the giant crane, the giant crane's companions in the sky all swooped down towards the ground. When they were about to reach the ground, they flapped their wings at the Poison Spiders at the same time. Dust flew into the air, and all the Poison Spiders within a hundred meters flew into the sky one by one, then fell to the ground and turned into a pile of mud.

Wu Xiaoming and the other clansmen lying in the distance felt a gust of wind blow past them. If they did not grab onto the grass on the ground, they would probably have been sent flying. "What a freak!" Wu Xiaoming muttered to himself.

The giant crane that had fallen to the ground was completely enraged. It flapped its wings and flew low, rushing towards the Poison Spiders. The Poison Spiders were continuously sent flying, and their long beaks continuously pecked at the Poison Spiders that were sent flying. One by one, the Poison Spiders were devoured. The other giant cranes also flew towards the Poison Spiders in a similar manner. Soon, only two or three thousand Poison Spiders remained, and only two or three hundred of them were left.

The Five-Colored Man-Faced Poison Spider's strange cry became even louder, and a loud rumbling sound came from the depths of the forest. At this moment, Wu Xiaoming and the other clansmen had already taken advantage of the time when the giant cranes were devouring the Poison Spiders to quietly leave. He did not know what kind of monster had appeared in the depths of the forest, and he only wanted to hurry home as soon as possible.

If Wu Xiaoming was still at the same place, he would definitely be shocked. The one that rushed over from the depths of the forest was a giant Five-Colored Man-Faced Poison Spider that was as tall as a mountain. It was so far away that it could be heard from the giant cranes' ears, "Stop!". When the giant cranes heard the voice, they actually turned into fairies in white clothes. The giant Five-Colored Man-Faced Poisons also turned into human form.

"Fairies, why do you want to destroy our Five-Colored Clan?" The beautiful voice could turn any man into a beast.

"Five-Colored! You should know that the human race is protected by the Nvwa. If your descendants destroy them today, I'm afraid you will die. Senior Brother Ling Zhu sent a message to us to protect the human race. Five-Colored, do you want to fight with us?" A beautiful woman stared at the beautiful woman with disgust.

"Hehe, I don't dare! I will migrate my clansmen into the depths of the forest. Fairies, please be magnanimous!" The beautiful woman replied with a smile. After saying that, she led the remaining two or three hundred Poison Spiders and disappeared into the depths of the forest.

The fairies in white also transformed into giant cranes and rushed into the clouds.

Wu Xiaoming had already returned to the cave with his clansmen. He did not see what happened just now. If he did, he would definitely shout, "I did transmigrate into the prehistoric era, but why is the heavens so unfair?"

At this moment, Wu Xiaoming was happily celebrating his escape from death with his clansmen and dancing around the bonfire, celebrating the success of the Spring Hunt.

Every young man placed the giant deer they had hunted next to the bonfire, constantly displaying their strength through their limbs, including Dong. The beautiful women in the clan were laughing as they praised every young man. Of course, Wu Xiaoming was the one who was talking the most. From the faint voice, one could hear his name being mentioned the most.

It was a pity that his giant deer was thrown to the Poison Spiders while he was running away. Otherwise, the girls would probably fight for him. Wu Xiaoming felt very gratified about this. He felt a little proud of himself. Chang'e was not with those girls. She was with his mother and other adult women.

There were two girls standing beside Dong. They were obviously waiting for Dong's decision. Dong looked at the two beautiful girls in front of him helplessly and looked at Wu Xiaoming as if he was asking for help from time to time. Wu Xiaoming was completely speechless. "This stupid guy is actually the most popular! But what use is there for you to choose a wife?"

Wu Xiaoming picked up the roasted deer leg and took a big bite. It was too delicious. The fish in his mouth that he had eaten for half a winter was filled with the fishy smell. He deliberately didn't look at Dong, who had no idea what to choose, and ate the deer meat with Uncle Di and the others. They talked about the dangers and precautions in the forest.

Just as he finished eating the deer leg, Wu Xiaoming was about to cut another piece of deer meat. Two large pieces of deer meat appeared in front of him. Seeing Chang'e and Uncle Di handing the deer meat to him at the same time, he didn't even think about it and took it. He ate the two pieces of deer meat at the same time. Dong, who was staring at Wu Xiaoming with a worried expression, thought that it was a hint for him. He grabbed the two girls' hands and pulled them into the bamboo house beside him. Only a lonely young man who didn't have any girls in his eyes was left standing by the bonfire.

"Eh? That's fine, haha!" Wu Xiaoming laughed mischievously, feeling happy for his brother.

"Come, don't be depressed, bro. See, I still have no girl who likes me! Let's strive to become the greatest warrior, okay? By the way, what's your name?" Wu Xiaoming pulled the young warrior who was standing beside the bonfire awkwardly. Other than Chang'e, Dong, and Uncle Di, he had never talked to any other clansmen. It was too embarrassing.

"Hmm, Human Emperor, my name is Stone. I will learn from you well." Stone looked at Wu Xiaoming with admiration. "Haha, come and eat meat! You will definitely become a powerful warrior." Wu Xiaoming looked at Stone and sighed. He was still a primitive person.

"Uncle Di, I think the bamboo forest has already started to grow. I plan to grow some plants and transplant them near our house. If the harvest is good, we won't have to worry about food anymore. Tomorrow, you will lead the four old warriors and the newcomers to hunt. The rest of you will go and transplant the bamboo with me." Wu Xiaoming was scared by today's danger and almost lost his life! In the future, he would leave the dangerous matters to professionals. He could only make suggestions.

During the spring, his appetite had decreased by a lot. He could only eat two or three thousand kilograms of food before he was full. At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of hibernation. It seemed that the terrifying appetite was just to survive the winter. However, every clansman was still as good as a rice bucket. If it was in his previous life, he would probably be dissected and studied their bodies. Just like today, Wu Xiaoming had eaten more than three hundred kilograms of deer meat before he was full. Sigh, it was not easy to raise. Moreover, he could not just eat meat. He had to eat a balanced diet.
