Chapter 138: The Wrath of the Tree God
In the months that followed, the Flying Spaceship successfully established the most primitive trade ties with the Lanwei tribe where Zutai belonged.
Barter.
From the perspective of Zutai and other Lanwei people, at the beginning, they found that those gods wanted almost everything.
A grass.
A twig.
Some wild fruits.
A special stone.
The bones that remain after the death of some prey.
can all be exchanged for something that surprises them.
Like a sharp alloy dagger, sharpening iron like clay, it is countless times better than the bone knives and stone knives they use.
For example, the silver spear used by Zu Tai, the first warrior in the clan, although it takes a bunch of things to get it, but in the tribe, in order to have such a silver spear, I don't know how many adult Lanwei people, day and night, look for something that may be "useful" in the forest, glowing poisonous mushrooms, colorful poisonous fruits, and even go to the river to touch the aggressive strange fish, or on the edge of the cliff, the plants that no one cared about, etc...... Find something as new as possible, preferably alive.
Because those God's requests are that things that have never been brought before will be richly rewarded.
Therefore, since the "new things" that could be searched within ten kilometers of the vicinity had almost been searched, a bold Lanwei man actually ran into the territory of the four-winged bird, and at the risk of being chased by the four-winged bird, he stole five bird eggs.
After all five eggs were sold to the gods, at the trading point, the Lanwei man named "Barrow" was given two silver spears at onceβone longer enough to be held in his hand to fight, and one shorter to be used as a throwing weapon.
After Barrow got the two silver spears, there was a thick breathing sound around him, and some of the clansmen who did not yet have silver spears were envious, irritable, and bolder, and the next day they learned from Barrow to steal the eggs or cubs of the poisonous wolf beasts nearby.
After a while, in this tribe of the Lanwei people, in addition to the helmet and armor worn by the first warrior Zutai, such as alloy daggers, throwing javelins, and long silver spears, there were hundreds of hunters in the tribe, each of whom had at least one of each, and even two or three more.
The weapons have been upgraded to this tribe, and the hunting efficiency has increased several times, as long as a few hunters are sent out to hunt, the food needs of the entire tribe can be satisfied.
Some of the old, disabled hunters can even lie at home and enjoy retirement.
"This race is no less intelligent than our mother planet, Blue Star, primitive people millions of years ago, they are united and friendly, help each other, take care of the elderly, women and children, as long as they are given another million years, they can also evolve to the same level as us. Lan Xiulong, a science officer, sighed.
"No, it's impossible to give them another 10 million years. β
Yun Xinghe on the side hugged his hand and said: "Our probe has found some ancient city ruins, judging from these ruins, the Lanwei people of Pandora Star had a considerable degree of civilization 100 million years ago, and the time scale is a hundred times the history of our human evolution, but these cities were all destroyed in unknown attacks, as for what the attack is, we should be able to see it soon." β
Through the communication screen, he turned his head to Du Xiaopang, the logistics officer who was working in the printing room, and said, "Xiaopang, has the second batch of trading goods been printed?"
"Right away!"
Du Xiaopang, who was holding a dozen basins in his hand, said on the screen.
Yun Xinghe nodded, the arms trade was close to saturation, and now it was time to turn to the trade in daily commodities, tools, etc.
β¦β¦
Three days later.
On the meadow at the mouth of the canyon of the Lanwei tribe, the god's "merchant ship" flew over again.
After the merchant ship landed, the aft compartment was opened, and several gods of the god clan moved the goods out.
The two Lanwei people who were in charge of guarding the mouth of the canyon had bright eyes and walked over quickly,
This time there is a new shipment arriving, which looks strange.
There is a round and square container that the gods call a "washbasin" and shows how it can be used to hold a lot of things.
There are also cups for drinking water, which are divided into two types: flexible cups that can be used when hunting outside, and hard cups that can be used in tree houses.
There is also a pot for stewing meat and soup, after putting the washed meat into it, then pour in water and put it on the fire to cook, and after a while, the aroma of the meat overflows, which makes people's nose stir and saliva flow.
The boiled broth is scooped up with a spoon, and then served in a conical "bowl", and each person is given a pair of chopsticks or a spoon, when all the Lanwei people look at each other and don't know how to use it, a loud sound comes, but it is the first warrior Zu Tai, with a bloody mouth, pouring the broth in the bowl into his mouth, and finally pulling it twice with chopsticks, and a big bowl of broth is drunk.
"Hula~"
"Wow~"
"Horn~"
A large imitation sound sounded, and after drinking the broth, the Lanwei people of this tribe, around the pot on the ground and holding the bowl in their hands, made the sound of "Ula Ula", which means "Bang Bang Bang".
So, after weapons, face plates, cups, pots, bowls, spoons...... These daily life items began to become popular among the tribes of the Lanwei people and became essential for life.
But the Lanwei people didn't have anything to exchange, and the ones that could be exchanged were basically replaced, and the prey they hunted, the gods didn't want it, and most of them could only watch it with greed, but found it difficult to have so many commodities at the mouth of the canyon.
It doesn't matter, they can work, the Protoss first took out a thousand glittering "coins", and from the chief, bought the 1,000 acres of land outside the mouth of the canyon, and then began to recruit a large number of workers, and the treatment was ten "gold coins" per day, and these gold coins could buy the goods they wanted.
For example, a basin costs only five gold coins.
As the foreman of the Protoss, Zutai only recruited 10 workers on the first day, and then took these workers to cut down trees outside the mouth of the canyon for a day, and in the evening they took ten gold coins each, exchanged them for basins, cups, bowls and other goods, and happily returned to the treehouse, causing the tribe to shake.
The next day, the number of workers under Zutai increased by 50, accounting for about half of the young and strong people in the clan.
In the more than two years since then, the number of people working for the Protoss in this Lanwei tribe has never been less than 50, and even at the most, two-thirds of the population of this tribe is working for the Protoss...... Even the old chieftain could not stop it.
Because there are too many "goods" in the hands of the Protoss, there are good axes and saws, fishing nets for fishing, bows and arrows for hunting, and the purchase of armor is open later, which is simply unstoppable.
Not to mention those daily necessities, from the first series of pots and pans and kitchenware, to the back of the bed, cabinets, tables and chairs and other furniture series, and then to the clothes, hats, shoes and other clothing series...... Tribal fashion trends are changing all the time, and it feels like there's no end to the day.
Some Lanwei people, who were originally very satisfied with life, began to be very tired of this kind of exhausting days, but in the face of those exquisite and shining goods, they just couldn't stop chopping their hands.
I always involuntarily go to the construction site and work for the Protoss.
And looking at the giant building that was built by them except for the materials, everything else was perfected, completed, and the spire-shaped structure was magnificent and shocking, and the Lanwei people in this tribe, all who participated in this project, were filled with a special feeling in their hearts.
From time to time, I still ask myself in my heart: Is this really something we made?
Until one day.
The old chief gathered all the people in the tribe together, and the old chief, with a disturbed face and a frightened face, used the nervous whiskers on his tail to convey an extremely shocking news in a way that communicated with his minds.
"The god of the tree is angry!"
"The god of the tree said that we have attracted outsiders who should not have come, and some demons who are not part of this world. β
"Our sins are great, and punishment will soon be inflicted on us. β
"Die, everyone will die, no one can save us!"
The old chief fell to his knees, stretched out his hands, and his face was full of begging and wailing: "Forgive us, god of the tree!
Immediately, the old chief stood up tremblingly, pointed at Zu Tai, who was covered with large gold chains, and said angrily: "It's all you, it's all you! If it weren't for you, how could the tribe invite such a disaster? The tribe was completely destroyed in your hands!"
The old chief said to the young men next to him: "Quick, quickly arrest this guy and kill him!
"Don't move me!"
Zu Tai shook off the two young men, shook the big gold chain around his neck, his eyes widened, and he shook his head violently: "What did I do wrong? Why did Lord Tree God punish our tribe? What crime do we have? Why do we say that those gods from the sky are demons? I think these gods are much better than tree gods, tree gods at most let us have a good dream, those gods, let us have sharp weapons, comfortable houses, all kinds of useful tools!"
"Our days are getting better day by day!"
"I like the gods in the sky, they are not demons. β
"But what can the tree god give us? Compared to the gods in the sky, he seems to be unable to give anything. β
"Now, the god of the tree suddenly said that he wants to punish my door and kill us?"
"But I'm not afraid, because the gods are much more powerful than the tree gods, and just now the gods told me that they will protect us, and none of us will die!"
Zu Tai put his arms around the old chief's daughter and said to all the clansmen: "Everyone don't have to be afraid, as long as everyone believes in me and listens to me, the gods will definitely save us, and we will join the gods together and continue to live a good life!"
"Woo woo woo~"
The sound of cheers and cheers below made the old chief's face change greatly, "Don't listen to him, kill him!" shouted a few words, but no one paid attention, even his daughter fell into his arms with a happy face, not standing on his side, the old chief's expression darkened, he knocked the wooden staff on his hand hard, shook his head and said: "Let's make trouble, the wrath of the tree god will destroy everything in the tribe, who is right and who is wrong, you will figure it out!"
"Four-winged birds, dragon birds, poisonous wolf beasts, viper beasts, there are so many monsters outside the valley!"
"It's over, we're really going to be finished!"
Early the next morning.
The two young men guarding the mouth of the canyon returned to the treehouse with a frightened face on their faces, bringing bad news to everyone in the tribe.
All the strong, old, women, and children in full armor walked out of the treehouse, stood on the grass with a wide field of vision, and looked up at the sky, and suddenly they were struck by lightning, trembling, and their bodies were like chaff.
Even Zu Tai, who conquered the entire tribe with a brave declaration yesterday, began to tremble slightly with his right hand holding a silver spear with dull eyes and a wide open mouth, and there was a tendency to fall off his hand.
"Tree God, please forgive us!"
The old chief fell to his knees and began to cry.
This scene is indeed too scary!
The sky is densely packed with giant birds as many as stars, and all kinds of monsters on the ground that are ten, fifteen, and twenty meters long, numbering more than tens of thousands, as if the land monsters within a radius of 100 miles are all concentrated here.
Now these giant birds and monsters were just flapping their wings, or digging the ground, grinding their fangs and claws, and did not attack immediately, but this tribe of Lanwei people, who was only in their early three hundred people, the whole clan, deeply felt the wrath of the tree god.
"Ang~"
"Whew~"
From heaven to earth, there was a high-pitched shout.
As if it were a clarion call for an attack, the giant birds overhead, the monsters on the ground, and the large creatures with a total of more than 100,000 heads collectively turned from a static state to a high-speed charge.
This scene, in the eyes of this Lanwei tribe, is like the end of the world.
