"Patriarch, after the battle divisions gather, it is better to let each commander lead a battle army, and with the cooperation of the dark department, they will clean up a mountain and forest respectively. ”

Xia Tuo looked at the terrain sand table in front of him and didn't make a sound, what he considered in his heart was similar to what Lu said.

Although there are many secret guards in the Shadow Palace, compared to the vast mountains and fields, they are like fish scattered into the sea, and they can't make much waves at all.

The place is big, there are many secret places, and the mountains are undulating, and it is impossible for the secret guards to investigate everything even if they are desperate.

Therefore, let the soldiers start from one direction, and along the way, there are demon departments to destroy the demon department, and there are scattered departments to gather scattered departments, killing two birds with one stone.

"Have you seen everything under the Turtle Back Mountain?"

"Hmm. ”

Lu nodded, and continued, "This tribe has built a strange place, all the stone houses are surrounded by a stone temple at the foot of Turtle Mountain, and the stone hall looks like a half-mosaic mountain from the outside. ”

"The people in the tribe used to be no different from usual, but whenever they talked about totems, they would have fanatical eyes, and even feed totems with their bodies. ”

"I went in and took a look at the tribe myself, but it was soon discovered and I had to quit. ”

Hearing this, Xia Tuo nodded, changed his voice, and said, "You weren't there last time in the clan meeting, but you already know about it?"

"Yang has already said when I come back, I have already discussed with Elder Hong, some centurions and thousand-sized totem warriors in the War Master Hall will be included in my Shadow Temple, and I am ready to use these people as the backbone to create a Shadow Squad. ”

"Hmm. ”

Xia Tuo nodded, and then said: "Two thousand miles of ancient mountain ranges, the territory is vast, and the task of the Shadow Hall is very heavy. ”

"The subordinates know. ”

"When the time comes, the people who have been eliminated in the Dragon Bird Valley will also be given to you. ”

"It's time for Elder Hong to come to the patriarch to complain again. ”

Hearing this, Xia Tuo chuckled, but said: "The warrior is a whole, compared to the coordination and unity of a whole, a warrior with a little talent may not be the best for a complete warrior." ”

Speaking of this, he thought of a man who was nearly two meters tall in front of him and a woman like a woman, paused and continued, "Okay, you can leave a few for Elder Hong after you pick them." ”

"Yes. ”

The deer left, Xia Tuo was still standing in front of the sand table and watching, at the moment, the battle division had not gathered, some considerations were still in thought, and whether it was really suitable or not still needed to be tested in practice in the future.

He gestured on the sand table that there are not only mountains in the Wangu Mountains, but also abundant water systems, dense rivers and small rivers, and many lakes, which are rich in resources.

Looking at the criss-crossing water system in the mountains, the mountains and fields are divided into pieces, and different regions are naturally divided.

He has long regarded the Wangu Mountains as his back garden, and since it is a back garden, he needs to take care of it, otherwise it will always be a long weed, which is very bad.

......

In the tribe, the sun is shining, and the entire Xia tribe is shrouded in a light, and the heavy rain yesterday is pouring, and it seems that the sun is extraordinarily beautiful at this moment.

The tribe was full of people, people came and went, smoke rose from the busy tribe, and the smell of meat wafted from the houses.

Even for ordinary clansmen, meat cannot be scarce, and a large consumption of blood and qi needs to be replenished by fierce beast meat.

In the valley in the north, there was a childish shout, and the babies in the tribe who were refining their bodies were fighting their strength under the leadership of totem warriors.

Thundered!

Outside the valley in the distance, a roar sounded, and the Wangu River entered the artificial lake outside the southeast of the tribe along the Flowing River, and the gentle section within a radius of twenty or thirty miles had been dug out halfway, which was enough for the Wangu to break through the wind and waves.

The Fat Elder is back.

The Wangu slowly sailed into the tribe, attracting many people in the tribe to watch, and the little babies were bold enough to crowd in the crowd and ran towards the boat as soon as the Wangu docked.

Soon, huge boxes were moved off the ship.

The fat man walked last, and Li followed behind him, holding a copper box with dense witch patterns in his arms, and walked towards the tribal mountain.

Hearing the return of the Wangu, Xia Tuo had already walked out of the totem hall and waited for the fat man in the clan hall.

Now that the tribe has gathered war divisions, the resources obtained by the fat brother from bartering are one of the guarantees for the development of the tribe.

"Coming back?"

"This time it went well. ”

The fat man sat down on the stone chair without any image, took a breath and said, "You hurriedly summoned the deer back, what happened in the tribe." ”

"I'll talk about this later, what is in this copper box. ”

Xia Tuo looked at the box with witch patterns on the surface, and suddenly became interested.

"This is a dilapidated stone building, it's very weird, and the fat brother can't see it accurately. ”

Hearing Xia Tuo talk about the things in the box, the fat brother frowned, speaking of which, this is still something that the fat brother rarely can't see.

Click.

The copper box was opened, and Xia Tuo saw a small stone polished building under the box, with a total of six floors, showing an octagonal shape, the base was cracked, and the surface was also missing edges and corners, and the weathering was not good, and it could be vaguely seen that there were lines on the surface, but it had long been unclear because of weathering.

Xia Tuo held up the stone building, which was no more than three feet high, looked carefully for a moment, and then put it down.

Yes, he couldn't see what it was.

"You're not sure?"

The fat brother frowned, and then said: "This is what I got from the inferior Fengshui tribe on the north side of Tuze Dahu, and the people of the Fengshui tribe said that they picked it up in the big river outside the tribe. ”

"By the way, this stone is said to have floated down the river to the Maple Water Tribe. ”

After the fat brother finished speaking, he saw Xia Tuo looking at him like a fool.

"This stone really doesn't sink into the water, I don't believe you try it. ”

Really.

That's right, then Xia Tuo asked someone to bring a large jar of water, and the stone building really stood in the water and was not sinkable, obviously it was made of stone and it was still very heavy, but it was really unsinkable.

What the fat brother can't even see, he is even more complete.

It should be a baby anyway.

"Put it away, maybe we'll find out what it is later. ”

......

"Won't it?"

At this moment, there were only two people left in the clan hall, and the fat brother looked suspicious.

Xia Tuo told him about the demon bones he encountered in the Grass Wasteland, especially about the Terran Royal Court.

"I was thrown out when I was very young, and I only heard of the royal court, and I didn't really go there. ”

The fat brother spread his hands helplessly, with a helpless expression.

Xia Tuo, who reined in his thoughts, continued: "I gathered 10,000 soldiers, I need a lot of resources, and then you have to work hard, the two ordinary big ships in the tribe have also been refitted, and the copper ingots have also been filled, and this time I will go out with you." ”

"Good. ”

"Beast cores and medicinal herbs, these are things that the tribe cannot be self-sufficient at the moment, and there is a big gap in the tribe. ”

"Don't worry, the Tuze Wasteland is very large, there are no less than thousands of tribes of all sizes, and the number of refined copper ingots needed is huge, which is enough to supply the tribe in a period of time, and when the tribe takes the entire Wangu Mountain Range in the future, are you afraid that there will be no resources." ”

The fat brother yawned and walked towards the outside of the clan hall, this time he had been out for more than a month, so he had to rest.

Then, Xia Tuo asked the copper box to be sent to the Inheritance Hall, maybe he could know the true face of this stone in the future.

......

Day 2, Summer Garden.

In the morning light, the sky above the garden was filled with a rich blue divine light, faintly broken by purple electric silver light, the rich vitality rolled and sprinkled, and the branches of a thick purple pole yang thunder tree stretched out to the sky above the summer garden and swayed gently, sprinkling the spiritual light in the sky.

A black-robed figure came in from outside the garden and stood in front of Xia Tuo.

"Healed?"

"Why are you saving me. ”

Xia Tuo looked at the figure in front of him and replied, "I want to know the situation in your original tribe." ”

The demon shook his head.

"A totem that feeds on the lives of its people, do you think this is a totem?"

A look of confusion flashed in the demon's eyes, and he didn't know.

In the past few days, he has walked around the Xia tribe, and found that compared with the Xia tribe, his original tribe is like a closed valley, and everyone in the human race is very depressed, and they are all following the orders of the totem, as if they are ......

Yes, it's like a beast in captivity.

Everyone in the tribe is hunting blood food for the totem, even including themselves.

"Do you know demons?"

The demon shook his head, he had grown up in the tribe since he was a child, and all his vision and knowledge were given to him by the tribesmen.

"How many people are there in your tribe?"

"There are still six thousand, and the young and strong are less than two thousand. ”

After thinking about it, the demon still answered Xia Tuo's question.

Hearing this, Xia Tuo frowned, he had watched the tribe under the Turtle Back Mountain from a distance, and the scale was no less than 10,000 people.

"Over the years, since the people in the nearby scattered tribes have been captured and sacrificed to the totem, the clan can no longer catch enough of them, so the patriarch ordered the people of the clan to be sacrificed to the totem. ”

Saying this, the demon raised his eyes and looked at Xia Tuo.

"Are you trying to destroy my tribe?"

"It's the demons that I'm going to destroy, or there will be more tribes to suffer. ”

"The children and women of the tribe are innocent. ”

Xia Tuo shook his head, he didn't dare to guarantee how much the tribe of Turtleback Mountain had been corrupted by demons, and the appearance of a demon was already an exception among exceptions.

Women and children are true, but if they are eroded by demons, they can't stay.

"When you arrest the other scattered tribesmen, can you spare the women, children, old and children?"

Suddenly, the demon choked on the words.

"I make sure that the children are not eroded, really, really, the children of the tribe worship the totem for the first time when they are ten years old, I ....... ”

"Well, if the children really don't erode their minds, they will be brought back, but you have to lead the way....... ”

After a few breaths, the demon nodded.

......

In the wild mountains, more than 300 figures gathered into one and headed towards the depths of the mountain range, and the blood and qi gathered by the totem warriors directly scared away the fierce beasts in the nearby mountains and forests.

Two days later, outside Guibei Mountain, Xia Tuo sat on the back of Qinghuo, squinting at the bare ridge.
