I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

The moment the loud noise came, the ground shook violently, and Baona and Zhaoyang Ruyue almost couldn't stand.

They looked back in horror and saw thick smoke and flames in the distance, as if a huge explosion had occurred.

Without time to think about it, the two of them rushed back to the camp.

What came into view was a scene of chaos.

The warriors of the Zhongsun tribe were like mad beasts, waving their weapons and frantically destroying everything in the camp.

Tents were torn apart, supplies were burned, and the air was filled with a pungent burnt smell.

Wumeng Tianlong and several warriors fought hard, but they were outnumbered and gradually lost the upper hand.

"Stop!" Baona roared and rushed into the crowd.

Her eyes were determined, like a burning flame, and she swung the stone axe in her hand with great vigor, forcing back several enemies who tried to approach.

Zhaoyang Ruyue followed closely behind. She was agile and moved among the crowd. The dagger in her hand was like the tongue of a poisonous snake. Every attack was precise and deadly.

Seeing this, the leader of the Ram Tribe was tall and strong, and every time he swung the giant hammer in his hand, it was with overwhelming momentum.

His joining doubled the pressure on Baona and others, and the situation instantly became precarious.

Baona faced off against the leader of the ram tribe. Although she was not as tall as the other, she was extremely flexible.

She cleverly dodged the leader's attacks, looking for opportunities to find his weaknesses.

The two men fought back and forth, each move deadly. People around them did not dare to get close, for fear of being involved in this fierce battle.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, sweat soaked Baona's clothes, and her breathing became rapid.

But her eyes remained firm, with no intention of backing down.

She knew that this battle was about the life and death of the entire tribe, and she must not fall.

"Stop it!" An old and majestic voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voices and saw the geologist Taishu and the fortune teller Xianyu approaching hand in hand, followed by a group of fully armed Luqiu guards...

Dust was flying and shouts of killing were deafening.

Baona dodged the oncoming stone axe by turning sideways and struck back, but only scratched the enemy's arm.

Blood gushed out, staining the dry land red and splashing on Baona's face.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, mixed with the smell of sweat and dust, which was nauseating.

There was a deep cut on Wumeng Tianlong's left arm, and blood stained his clothes red.

He groaned, gritted his teeth and persevered, waving the weapon in his hand to resist the enemies who were coming like a tide.

A young warrior, pierced through the abdomen by a sharp blade, fell to the ground in pain, uttering a faint groan.

Blood gushed out from his wounds, staining the ground beneath him red, a shocking sight.

"Tianlong!" Baona shouted anxiously, wanting to rush over to support, but was entangled by several enemies.

She felt powerless as she watched her companions fall one by one, unable to do anything.

At this critical moment, geologist Taishu raised the scepter in his hand and muttered something.

The earth suddenly began to shake violently, and huge cracks appeared on the ground, like a giant beast opening its bloody mouth.

The leader of the Gongyang tribe and the warriors of the Zhongsun tribe were caught off guard and fell into the cracks one after another, with wailing sounds coming one after another.

"Haha! You dare to show off your skills in front of an expert!" Geologist Taishu laughed triumphantly, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed into a chrysanthemum.

Baona and others took the opportunity to break away from the enemy and quickly evacuated the battlefield.

Looking at the crack gradually closing behind her, Baona's heart was filled with relief at having survived the disaster.

"The water source is just ahead!" Geologist Taishu said excitedly, pointing to an oasis not far away. "With the water source, we can..."

Before he could finish his words, Xianyu the fortune teller suddenly interrupted him with a serious expression: "Wait..."

Xianyu the fortune teller did not join in the cheering. His skinny fingers tightly gripped the divining wand, and an inexplicable light flashed in his cloudy eyes.

"Wait!" His hoarse voice was particularly abrupt in the wind. "Water sources are hard to come by, and even harder to protect. Don't be too happy too soon."

This sudden pour of cold water extinguished the excitement that had just ignited in everyone's hearts.

Baona and Wumeng Tianlong looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Geologist Taishu grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Old Xianyu, what do you mean by this? We finally found a water source, and you won't let us celebrate?"

Xianyu the fortune teller ignored everyone's doubts. He slowly walked to the water source and gently stirred the water surface with his divining rod. The turbid water rippled under his stirring.

"Although the water resources here are plentiful, they are not inexhaustible. If we don't know how to cherish and protect them, they will eventually dry up." He raised his head and glanced at the crowd. "The sacrificial ceremony is certainly important, but long-term plans require even greater consideration."

His words calmed everyone down and made them start thinking about what to do next.

Baona secretly admired this fortune teller Xianyu. Although his behavior was strange, he had far-sightedness and foresight.

With the news of this precious water source, Baona and her group returned to the tribe.

The news spread to every corner as quickly as if it had wings, and the tribesmen who had been suppressed for a long time burst into deafening cheers.

The children jumped for excitement, the women cried for joy, and the men hugged each other tightly, celebrating this hard-earned hope.

The Queen of Ancient Dian, dressed in gorgeous attire, came to the tribe’s gate in person to greet them.

When she saw Baona and her group returned safely, a relieved smile appeared on her face.

She walked quickly to Baona, shook her hand tightly, and said excitedly: "Baona, you have done a great deed! You saved the entire tribe!"

Baona looked at the gratitude in the queen's eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

She smiled slightly and said modestly: "This is all thanks to everyone. I just did my little bit."

The queen hugged Baona tightly, and the surrounding tribesmen also gathered around to express their respect and gratitude to Baona.

At this moment, the entire tribe was immersed in an atmosphere of warmth and joy.

However, the preparations for the sacrificial ceremony were not smooth sailing.

Although the water source was found, how to bring it to the tribe and how to properly store and distribute it were difficult problems facing everyone.

In addition, various items needed for the sacrifice also need to be collected and prepared as soon as possible.

Time is running out and the task is heavy. Baona knows that the burden on her shoulders is still heavy.
