Chapter 166: Coveting Iron Ore

Xiao Ning deduced from some words he understood and learned the content of the conversation on the other side.

The person on the other side seems to be eyeing his own iron placer mine!

Xiao Ning and Jiang Fei glanced at each other, and Jiang Fei immediately understood and came to the front of Xiaogaopo.

Jiang Fei squatted down and patted himself on the shoulder, signaling that he was ready.

Xiao Ning nodded, stepped on Jiang Fei's shoulder, pulled his hands on Xiao Gaopo, poked his head out, and saw the situation on the other side of Xiao Gaopo.

On the back of the small high slope, two people of unknown tribe were talking.

They probably found out that Xiao Ning was making iron spears, so they wanted to take it for themselves.

The two men talked for a while, then turned and left.

Xiao Ning hesitated for a while, then quickly walked around with Jiang Fei and followed the two.

After walking for about two hours, Xiao Ning followed the two to their clan.

The scale of this tribe is not particularly large, Xiao Ning speculated that there were only 3,000 people who died.

After the two returned to their clan, Xiao Ning and Jiang Fei couldn't follow up, they could only stay outside and see if there was a chance to get in, or wait until the two came out again.

The houses built by this tribe are all of the same type as grass huts, and when it rains, it is estimated that they will leak.

It is worth mentioning that Xiao Ning actually saw that they had a flag!

On the flag, a lion is not like a lion, and a tiger is not like a tiger.

Xiao Ning's first reaction in his heart was, totem!

This tribe seems to have faith!

Since ancient times, some tribes have had their own totems, and the totems are their beliefs.

For example, sunbirds, steppe wolves, and so on.

However, none of the tribes that Xiao Ning had come into contact with before had a totem.

Therefore, Xiao Ning suddenly saw a tribe with a totem, which was quite unexpected.

Xiao Ning and Jiang Fei stayed outside this tribe for most of the day, and they didn't see anyone come out for a long time.

The people of this tribe don't seem to have the habit of going out?

The two looked at the sky and prepared to go back, and it was not a wise move to stay in the field for the night.

But just as the two were about to leave, the two people who had gone in before came out again.

I saw the two of them looking around sneakily for a while, and then left the tribe.

"Keep up!"

Xiao Ning immediately beckoned Jiang Fei to follow.

The two followed all the way and found that the people from the two tribes had returned to their original places, but this time they were still walking forward until they came to the outskirts of the iron placer mine.

They found a hidden place, covered themselves, and then watched the Ilyin people smelting iron there.

"I'm afraid they're not scouting the situation, are they?

"It's hard to say, but it's a great possibility!" Xiao Ning had a gloomy face.

If the other party attacks, can they, 1,500 people, hold on?

Xiao Ning just estimated that the number of people in this unknown tribe should be around 3,000, excluding the old and weak, women and children, the number of people they can fight should be less than 1,000.

And Xiao Ning has 1,500 people, which is 1.5 times as many as theirs!

From this point of view, Xiao Ning and they seem to be able to win steadily?

"I'll send someone back in a moment to find some people. Xiao Ning hesitated, and for the sake of safety, he still asked for help from the Yilin clan.

After all, the three thousand people Xiao Ning mentioned were only estimates, what if this unknown tribe had a much larger population than Xiao Ning imagined?

Even what Xiao Ning saw was only the tip of the iceberg, and there were people from this tribe in other places!

This is a very normal thing, and there are some tribes that do not live together, but live separately.

This is done to prevent being caught all in one go.

When a place is lost, they can go somewhere else to dodge, or counterattack, or defend.

For example, Xiao Ning and the Squatfoot Savage clan they first encountered lived separately.

However, there is a downside to living separately in this way, as the contact between the two places may gradually decrease over time, which in turn will lead to the relationship between the two parties becoming cold.

Slowly, it may even be possible to directly divide into two opposing clans!

This kind of thing is not uncommon in history, similar to the previous feudal system in China.

At that time, the people who were divided were all the emperor's own brothers and sisters.

But over time, didn't these brothers and sisters also rebel as self-proclaimed kings?

"They seem to be counting something, and they probably plan to hit us. Jiang Fei squinted, staring carefully at the movements of the two men.

"The iron spears we made before have all been shipped back, and now we only have more than two hundred left, which is not enough for all of us to equip fifteen hundred people. Xiao Ning said with some concern.

"There's no way, only to step up manufacturing!"

"After that, I will leave a thousand fifteen hundred in the first place, because I will be able to use it one day. Xiao Ning said.

The two men from the unknown tribe, after making some records, continued to observe everything that happened on the iron placer mine.

They were very curious about the furnace, because they had never seen it, and they had little contact with iron smelting, and it was the first time they had seen iron made in this way.

"Why don't we click on them? so they won't be able to bring the data back, and without the data, their tribe might not be able to beat us." Jiang Fei made a motion to wipe his neck.

"No, if the people of that tribe find out that these two people are missing, they will definitely notice something, and when the time comes, they may come directly and kill them with people!" Xiao Ning said.

Now that you've been targeted, it's not about escaping, but about how to solve it!

"What then?" Jiang Fei asked.

"I have a bold idea, and I may even harvest a batch of free labor!" Xiao Ning suddenly laughed.

"You smile ......" Jiang Fei looked at Xiao Ning who had a wicked smile on his face, and instantly felt a little cold, he knew that Xiao Ning was going to do something!

"Are you afraid of death?" Xiao Ning asked.

"Who is not afraid of death?" Jiang Fei said confidently.

"Then I'll go by myself, you stay here to guard the iron placer mine, and remember to ask someone to set off immediately and go back for help!" Xiao Ning said.

"Where are you going?" Jiang Fei was stunned for a moment, how could he hear Xiao Ning's meaning, where was he going to leave?

"I, I'm going to their tribe!" Xiao Ning smiled at Jiang Fei.

"Are you crazy?" Jiang Fei's eyes widened, wasn't that rushing to die?

"I'm not crazy, I'm just going to talk about cooperation!"

"This iron placer mine, the iron content commands, after the two hundred weapons are crafted, there will be a lot left. ”

"When the time comes, I promise them that I will leave the furnace and everything to them, do you think they will have a good impression of me?"

"Although you may not be grateful to Dade, at least you won't click me, right?" Xiao Ning looked at Jiang Fei with a smile.

"You're taking a risk!" Jiang Fei took a deep breath.
