Ancient wasteland

Now there is no shortage of junior fighters in the tribe. The salt-changing team is composed of Ye, Feng and ten other junior fighters, including Jing Zhu, a total of 13 people.

With fifteen moo beasts, they came back from the water season to exchange salt. The tribe realized how useful the moo beasts were, and they caught and domesticated them alive.

There are [-] moo beasts in the tribe. This time, [-] of them were brought out for the salt change, and the remaining [-] were left in the tribe to transport wild fruits and fish.

The moo beast carried fur linen and pottery on its back, and Jing Que carried a wooden sword cut from green branches on his back. He sat among the colorful fur piles and followed the salt change team.

In the windy season, as the temperature drops, the leaves are slightly withered and yellow, not as vigorous as in the watery season, and the road in the forest is very smooth.

After entering the dense forest, Jing Zhu saw many pine cones on the side of the road, so he picked up pine cones while walking with a linen bag, and filled the linen bag with him.

When it's time to rest, knock out the pine nuts in the pine cone and eat it. The pine cone is used to cook the meat. The crisp pine cone is very easy to ignite.

After walking through the dense forest for two days, Jing Que also received an unexpected surprise. On the hillside, he found a thick and thick ginseng plant, which looked like a fat radish.

Jing Que had never seen such a fat ginseng before, so he dug it out carefully, and estimated the age to be hundreds or even thousands of years old.

Holding it in my hand, I feel comfortable. I received it in the space and waited to go back to process it. With the discovery of ginseng, various medicinal materials emerged one after another.

Shui Ji and the others didn't see it from here, it seemed that suddenly this dense forest became a medicinal herb, but Jing Que was so happy.

Just follow the salt change team to the Dahe Tribe, without delaying the progress of the salt change team or deviating from the route, you can pick a lot on the side of the road.

In addition, during the break, Ye walked around with him and picked them up, which was enough for Jing Zhu to smile happily. They haven't reached the Dahe Tribe yet.

As far as these medicinal materials are concerned, it is a rewarding return for Jing Que to bring them back.

The salt change team came out of the dense forest and rested by the river as usual. Feng Heye went out to hunt. Jing Que spread a piece of animal skin on the ground and began to meditate.

The soldier in charge of cooking lit the fire and looked at the dense forest with yellowing leaves not far away, "Sacrifice, shall we still participate in the hunting?"

Jing Que frowned slightly, then looked at the fire with a chuckle, "Which tribes are going to participate in the hunting? Our tribe counts, and there are others."

After he arrived in the tribe, he was busy developing and building the tribe. He didn't know much about the tribes around him, but he knew that there was a water tribe on the opposite side of the lake.

Now they have belonged to their tribe, and I heard from the wild that the distance between the tribe closest to them needs to be as long as three days!

Jing Qu followed the gathering team's activities, picking wild fruits basically came back in the same day, at most, it would be late to return to the tribe, and it was already dark.

I have never gone so far that I need to spend the night outside and wait until the next day to return to the tribe, and naturally I have never walked to the edge of other tribes.

The soldier was about to speak, when he saw Ye Hefeng coming back with his prey on his back, he hurried to pick it up, "Sacrifice, I'll cook, let Ye tell you."

Jing Que, "...Okay."

Ye threw the prey he was carrying to the ground, jumped into the river to wash off the blood on his body, shook off the water drops, and walked to Jing Que to sit down.

She slightly bent her long legs and approached him, raised her head and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Jing Que took out a piece of sackcloth and handed it to Ye to wipe his hair, and took out a parchment map from his pocket, "I just talked about hunting, around our tribe.

There is a water tribe on the opposite side of the lake, and now it has surrendered to our tribe. I remember you said that the water tribe does not participate in hunting. Which tribes will participate?

Are they all the tribes around us? Where are they located? "

Ye rubbed his hair, leaned over to look at the map, and pointed to a location a little further north of the tribe, "Three days away from the tribe, this is the Black Mountain tribe.

The stones in their tribal mountains are all black. The black stones have been cursed by the beast gods, and they can kill people after being burned in the fire.

However, the people of the Dahe Tribe liked that kind of stone very much. It was said that the priests of the Dahe Tribe could ask the beast god to get rid of the curse on the stone.

The black stones that can dispel curses can be burned for warmth. Every year at the fair during the wind season, the Black Mountain Tribe will send many black stones to the Dahe Tribe.

Use this kind of black stone to exchange salt with the Dahe Tribe... The priest did not let us touch this kind of black stone, saying that since we have been cursed by the beast god, we should not use it. "

Jing Que blinked, "The shape of black stone is flammable, and it will produce gas that can kill people after burning. Could it be an open-pit coal mine?

From your description, it seems like coal. This thing can be burned for heating, but it can produce more heat than firewood after burning.

Wait until the trade fair to see, if it is really coal, we can exchange it with them for more use in the cold season when we come back. "

Incomplete combustion of coal will produce the poisonous gas carbon monoxide. If the content of this thing is high in the air, it will cause poisoning and hypoxia.

The serious situation will indeed lead to death... and it will be a drowsy and unconscious death. It does look a bit like being cursed.

However, the houses built by their tribe have stoves and kangs. When the houses were built, Jing Que was afraid of lack of oxygen.

The flue vents are designed to be particularly spacious to ensure that the combustion gas can flow out with the flue and will not accumulate in the room.

As for the fireplace in his wild house, even if the coals are burning all night and the door is not opened for ventilation, the air content is sufficient.

For other houses in the tribe, as long as a little attention is paid to ventilation, there is no such thing as a curse, "The black stone is really coal.

After the salt change team went back, we sorted out the road from our tribe to the Black Mountain tribe, cut down the trees on the road and stored them as firewood.

It took six days to drive the moo beast to the Black Mountain Tribe to exchange coal. The cement road must not be repaired in time, and the road surface can be repaired a little bit.

The weight of the moo beast pulling the ox cart is calculated as one ton. There are twenty moo beasts in our tribe, and two trips back and forth are almost enough to keep warm in the cold season.

I just don’t know if the Black Mountain tribe is willing to exchange so much coal for us... Ye, the matter of exchanging coal is up to you! "

Jing Que smiled and patted Ye on the shoulder, "If you don't want to, hit them until they are willing!"

It's as simple and rude as that. In this barren land, where everyone relies on strength to speak, come out to fight if you have the ability, and shut up if you don't.

Ye is very used to this pattern, and was not surprised that he recognized those black stones, watching him nodded slightly, "Okay."

Holding a self-made quill, Jing Que marked the location of the Black Mountain Tribe on the map, and wrote a black circle on it, suspected to be coal!

After confirming it at the trade fair, write the word "coal" on it, hold the map and continue to ask Ye Ye, "Are there any other tribes?"

Ye pointed to the position to the east of the tribe, "The Dashi tribe here is larger than our tribe and has more fighters than us."

Speaking of the Dashi tribe, Ye's face was a bit uneasy, and he squeezed the corners of his mouth tightly, "The wind is not in the tribe, and they want to attack us when the mountain is injured.

They always take advantage of the hunting team to go out hunting and poke around our tribe. They like to attack other tribes and kill and rob things.

After successfully attacking other tribes, they will snatch the women back to give birth to them, and kill both men and children as food. "

Jing Que shivered violently, the quill in his hand drew a black mark on the map, and his back shivered, "Fortunately..."

He swallowed, fortunately he wanted his own cave at the beginning, and offered to detoxify the mountain and heal the mountain, otherwise the tribe would be attacked.

If he falls into the hands of the Dashi tribe, what good will he do? !I'm afraid they either raped and then killed, or were disemboweled and used as food.

This is really God's will in the dark, one link after another, even the slightest misstep, he would have finished playing long ago!

Ye Ji patted him on the back softly, "You saved the mountain and the mountain tribe, so we are all willing to listen to you, you are amazing.

Don't be afraid, I will protect you now, and no one can hurt you. Although there are many fighters in the Dashi tribe, they can't beat me. "

Under Ye Ye's reassurance, Jing Que relaxed his stiff back a little, and let out a long breath, "It's okay now, I'm a second-level soldier anyway.

I will break through to the third-level fighter soon. With this sword on my back, if I want to eat me as food, I have to pay the price. "

Ever since he figured out his own correct way of cultivation, Jing Que has never stopped cultivating, and has to spare time every day to meditate and practice sword moves.

In addition, he does not lack basic medicines, this body is endowed with excellent talents, with the addition of medicines, and Jing Que has worked hard to practice, which is quite effective.

At the beginning of the dry season, he successfully entered the ranks of second-level fighters, and now he is in the late stage of second-level fighters. He may touch the threshold of third-level fighters at any time and become a third-level fighter.

The strength in the tribe is second only to Ye, but Jing Que had told Ye about this, and even the priest didn't know his current strength.

Everyone in the tribe thought that he was carrying a sword, which was good-looking, and he was indeed good-looking. Jing Que himself was good-looking, when he was carrying a sword.

How should I put it, he looks different from them, even the girls that Li brought over often look at him secretly.

Jing Yu didn't bother to take care of it, and let them watch it as much as they wanted... Anyway, there is a lot of meat to watch, if it can make the girls bolder and blend in sooner.

He would also be happy to solve the problem of many single youths in the tribe, and happily carry cubs and multiply the population.

Slightly to the south of their tribe, there is a tribe called Jumu, and Jing Zhuo wrote and drew on the map, "You said that the Jumu tribe lives in trees.

Whether to build a house on a tree, or live directly in a tree hole, hearing the name, it feels like there are many big trees, but I don’t know how big it is.

When we come back from changing the salt, let's go to their tribes to see, so the hunting in the wind season is made up of the Black Mountain tribe, the Dashi tribe, and the Jumu tribe.

The four tribes of our tribe form a team to encircle and suppress the beast horde going south. Is the prey obtained by the encirclement evenly distributed?

It is still said that whichever tribe produces more fighters, the more prey it can get. To be honest, I don't want to deal with the Dashi tribe. "

Jing Que didn't feel disgusted by the Dashi tribe's attack on other tribes. Survival of the fittest and the survival of the strong have been the law since ancient times.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is the cruelty written in the bones of human nature, but Jing He cannot accept that they cannibalize people and treat the same kind as food.

Thinking of getting along with the Dashi tribe, they looked at him like they were looking at food in a pot, and just thinking about Jing He gave goose bumps all over their bodies.

Closing the parchment in his hand, Jing Qu frowned slightly, "Now there are enough warriors in the tribe, with longbows, spears, and crossbows.

After returning, configure some poison powder that can make wild beasts go crazy and stun, so that the hunting team can go hunting the herd without cooperating with them.

If the Jumu tribe and the Black Mountain tribe are willing to participate, they can participate, but the Dashi tribe absolutely cannot. I don’t want to be entangled by them. "

Ye looked calm, "Okay."

Anyway, every time hunting in the wind season, the Dashi tribe used the large number of warriors in their tribe as an excuse, and they had to share most of the harvest.

If there is a chance to get rid of the Dashi tribe who always wants to take advantage, Ye is naturally willing.

After resting on the spot by the river, the salt changing team continued to move forward, rushed to the Dahe Tribe before dark, and walked through the tribe to a place dedicated to changing salt.

Unlike the last time, it is now the windy season, and there are many tribes rushing to the Dahe tribe to exchange salt.

When they arrived, a lot of people had already gathered in the open space, and they all gathered around the location of their tribe, gathering in piles with different expressions.

Some are wrapped in animal skins, some are naked, their skin colors are black and white, and they carry a variety of weapons in their hands, none of which look good.

The closer to the Dahe Tribe, the more people gathered. Seeing them coming out, the people inside clenched their weapons and looked vigilant.

Jing Que got off the moo beast's back a long time ago, and seeing these people's expressions were not friendly, he was a little puzzled, "What's going on, do we have any grudges against them?"

Ye shook his head calmly, "No, it should be because we are afraid that we will grab the position, close to the Dahe Tribe, and there are many things that can be exchanged."

Jing Que understood in seconds, smiled and nodded, "That's right, we are all here to exchange salt and rocks, people from the Dahe tribe came out of the tribe.

The first thing you see must be the one closest to the tribe. If you can change the same thing at the nearest location, you will definitely not want to go far.

The goods we bring are all exclusive, so you don’t need to compete with them for a seat, you can go to the side, and the space there is very spacious. "

Ye nodded in agreement, "Okay."

Leading the team to the edge of the open space, as they led the team away, the tense atmosphere gradually dissipated, and they all talked to each other.

The salt-changing team all have camping experience. First, set up wooden stakes on the outermost ground, tie the moo beasts to the stakes, and place goods inside the moo beasts.

The innermost part was vacated to light the fire, set up a simple grill and hung the kettle and clay pot, and started cooking before the sky was completely dark.

After settling down on the open space, everyone is busy with their work, those who gather firewood, those who gather firewood, those who hunt, those who boil water, and those who organize supplies.

Jing Que had nothing to do by himself, so he sat cross-legged and ate pine nuts around the slowly burning fire.

He didn't eat two pine nuts, and suddenly a black paw stretched out from the side, picked up his bowl of pine nuts, and was about to leave.

Jing Que's hand that was picking up the pine nuts was empty, and his face turned dark immediately, "...you put it down for me!"

Where did the bastard dare to snatch food from his mouth? !Certainly not from their tribe, the warriors of their tribe respect him.

No matter what you find, you have to bring it to him first, and let him eat it, and then talk about whether you want it or not, anyway, your heart is enough.

Seeing his pine nuts being robbed, Jing Que hurriedly touched the wooden sword beside him.

As soon as he touched the sword in his hand, before he could stand up, the warrior who was pouring water into the pot had already stopped the person coming, and punched him without even thinking about it.

Someone threw it directly on the ground, kicking up a large amount of dust. He was also very quick-sighted and quick-handed, and grabbed the bowl containing pine nuts to prevent the pottery bowl from breaking.

Jing Que stood up holding the wooden sword, and the soldier handed the pottery bowl in front of him, "Sacrifice."

Looking at the man's black, mud-covered paws, Jing Qu lost his appetite for the pine nuts in the bowl, "I'll wash it with water and eat it later.

As far as his black paws, I don't know what he touched, there must be countless bacteria on them. "

As he spoke, he walked over, pulled out an unlit firewood, and poked the man on the back, "Hey, are you still alive? Tell me, which tribe is it.

Why do you want to grab my pine nuts, when our tribe is easy to bully, right? "

The man was beaten to the ground and could not get up. Jing Zhuo poked him for a long time without responding. The soldier who had just started came over and turned the man over.

Seeing that the man's eyes were closed tightly, he didn't pretend to be dead and really passed out, Jing Que was a little embarrassed, they were a little bit harsher now.

Seeing the man's appearance, the beating fighter frowned, "It's from the Dashi tribe. People from their tribe often steal other people's things!"

Jing Que threw the firewood back into the fire, "Oh, it's a habitual offender, so if we knock him out, it won't be a big deal.

Probably because of the absence of the wind, he thought that there are no fighters left here, not his opponents, and he ran over to grab things, and it would be good to be knocked out.

There are many tribes who came to exchange salt this time, and there are many people with mixed hands. If someone wants to grab something in the future, we have to weigh our strength. "

During the awakening ceremony presided over by Jing Que, there were a lot of awakened warriors in the tribe, and they all wanted to come to the Dahe Tribe to see the world.

So the salt change team is basically full of new faces. It seems that the Dashi tribe really knows the situation of their tribe's fighters very clearly.

Jing Que didn't believe that he didn't plan to attack their tribe secretly, and sneered, "Throw this person out on the road directly.

Leave him alone, let's continue cooking. "

The soldier was a little worried, afraid that people from the Dashi tribe would come to trouble them, but he habitually obeyed Jing Yu's words.

Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Yes, sacrifice."

As he spoke, he dragged the person who was still unconscious from the ground, and threw him into the open space outside. Without looking at it, he turned around and went back to the fire to cook.

Although their place is at the edge of the gathering space, there are also tribes resting nearby, and they saw their tribe casually hitting people unconscious.

The prying gazes from the surroundings instantly decreased a lot, and they all silently withdrew their scrutiny gazes, concentrating on what they were doing.

Jing Que returned to his seat and sat down, with the wooden sword resting beside him, while the water in the pot was burning on the fire, he took out the bag of pine nuts from the box again and started knocking.

Ye Suifeng came back with two black-skinned wild boars on his back, and began to skin them for barbecue, Jing Qu pointed to the frame next to them, "I brought the seasoning.

It was stored in that frame. Just now a person from the Dashi tribe ran over and wanted to snatch my pine nuts, but he was beaten to the ground and couldn't get up.

People from their tribe will definitely come to trouble us later. "

Ye handed him walnuts and chestnuts wrapped in big leaves, "Let them come, don't be afraid."

Jing Qu put down the pine nuts happily, and started to roast chestnuts, "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I'm very annoying.

I just want to go back quietly and change the salt. It's best to find out if anyone has soda ash and whoever is patient with them.

Tomorrow, let's go to the wolf girl, first replace all the colored furs with normal furs, and take a look at other tribes' trading areas.

Look for any good things that can be replaced, mainly looking for various seeds, I think the possibility of finding soda ash is very small, try it. "

Ye Ziran agreed, "Okay."

They don't want to cause trouble, but the more they don't want to cause trouble, the more things will come to them.

As soon as the aroma of the barbecue on the fire was wafting, four or five burly men stood in front of their camp, hammering the stone hammer to the ground.

He yelled angrily, "Who hit my younger brother just now, get out!"

Jing Zhuo, "..."

It turns out that in such an early age, there was a custom of beating the young ones, and the old ones at home would come out to find a place? !

He didn't even bother to pay attention, and watched the show with his head propped up. Seeing that they were silent, the barbarian with the stone hammer probably thought they were scared.

Carelessly going to their camp, sniffling while walking, "You are from the mountain tribe, and the barbecue is delicious.

For the sake of this roast, hand over the man who beat my brother, and let me chop off his hands and smash them to pieces.

Mountain tribes can participate in hunting in the wind season, otherwise... don't blame me for being rude! "

His face was full of pride and arrogance, as if letting their tribe participate in the hunt was a big charity to them.

After finishing speaking, he was about to go to get the barbecue on the fire, but Ye Ye stretched out his hand to grab his arm, subconsciously wanting to break free.

After trying for a long time without breaking free from the shackles of the wild, he suddenly became a little annoyed, "What do you mean, I can't even let me eat a piece of barbecue.

Does your tribe still want to participate in the hunting in the wind season? ! "

Jing Zhu sneered from the side, "That's really a coincidence, our tribe is not going to cooperate with you, this year's wind season hunting without your Dashi tribe, our tribe can share more prey."

Hearing that the Dashi tribe was not used for hunting, the man became furious and blurted out, "During the cold season, more than half of the warriors in your Dashan tribe were killed or injured.

There are only a few fighters left, why organize the hunting in the wind season? Do you think the Black Mountain tribe and the Giant Wood tribe will listen to you? They will not cooperate with tribes with inferior strength. "

Jing Que laughed when he heard that, "Why?"

He looked at his wrist firmly held by the wild, "It's up to you, you can't get your arm out of the wild's hand, you can't beat the wild in real hands, and dare to speak nonsense in our camp?! Give him I throw it out."

Ye Ye looked at him calmly, "Do you need to be stunned?"

Jing Que broke the walnuts, "You can do whatever you want."

Ye stood up, twisted the man and walked outside, the man was still trying to struggle, Ye knocked the man unconscious.

Throwing it in front of the big man who followed, the whole process was clean and neat, "Get lost."

Ye's speed was too fast, and the people around couldn't see how he moved his hands. The big men of the Dashi tribe all looked at each other in blank dismay.

His back felt a little chilly. Lying on the ground was Xiong Shi, the most powerful animal warrior in their tribe.

...He was knocked out like that and thrown to the ground? !If it's their turn, I'm afraid they won't even have a chance to fight back.

Looking at Ye was full of fear, but he didn't remember that he came here to make trouble, and he ran quickly while carrying the bear stone.

When the people of the Dashi tribe ran away, the surrounding tribes were suffocated by the fragrance for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, "What do you put in the barbecue, it smells so good!

Can you exchange some for us? I'll exchange it with the baabaa beast I just hunted! "
