Chapter 12: The Most Dangerous Thing Is Humans!
"Wu, we should have used water to trade food with other tribes a long time ago!"
After bidding farewell to Mei and leaving, Lin Luo immediately said to Wu.
According to his idea, trading water for food during the summer season is definitely a profitable business.
After all, the bamboo tribe is not short of water at all now, and it is even so much that it is used to water the giant bamboo.
Using the water that these bamboo tribes did not lack, to trade food with other tribes, in Lin Luo's opinion, it was definitely no different from picking up money for nothing.
However, Wu did not seem to have such intentions from the beginning, and after discovering the spring, except for the disbandment of the water collection team, everything else in the tribe went on as usual.
This transaction with the fox tribe was also proposed by Wu Cai on the spotlight when the fox tribe took the initiative to exchange the spiritual liquid, and even offered a very low price.
Therefore, all this made Lin Luo feel very puzzled.
In the face of Lin Luo's inquiry, Wu asked with a serious face: "Lin Luo, do you think the lion will be friends with the hare?"
Lion, hare, friend?
Hearing Wu's rhetorical question, Lin Luo suddenly looked confused.
Some people don't understand, they are obviously talking about trading with other tribes, why did Wu suddenly bring the topic to this.
Looking at Lin Luo, who was full of puzzlement, Wu continued before he could give an answer: "In this mountain range, there are often contacts and transactions with our Bamboo Tribe, in addition to the Fox Tribe, there are also the Peach Tribe and the Tiger Tribe two tribes.
However, unlike the fox tribe, the strength of these two tribes ......"
With Wu's narration, Lin Luo finally gradually understood why Wu suddenly asked such a rhetorical question.
The two tribes, the Peach Tribe and the Tiger Tribe, Lin Luo had heard Zizhu mention it before, but he only knew about their existence and didn't know much about their strength.
Now after Wu's more detailed explanation, Lin Luo knew that among the four tribes, the Tiger tribe was the most powerful, followed by the Peach tribe.
Both tribes have nearly twice as many populations as the Bamboo tribe, and their strength is also much stronger.
After that, the third place is the bamboo tribe.
As for the Fox Tribe, their strength is slightly inferior to that of the Bamboo Tribe.
And in this world of the jungle, there is naturally no reason at all, only strength is the last word.
If the Tiger Tribe and the Peach Tribe knew that the Bamboo Tribe owned a spring, it would be difficult to guarantee that they would not be greedy and want to take it for themselves.
After all, having a spring meant that they would never have to go to the dangerous river to get water again in the summer season.
Such a temptation is enough to make them willing to pay some price to wipe out the entire Bamboo Tribe.
Therefore, the disparity in strength dooms the two sides to dialogue on an equal footing, and the powerful lion will never be able to treat the weak hare as a friend.
......
"This is really a puffer's innocence!"
After listening to Wu's explanation, Lin Luo couldn't help but sigh.
What does this mean?"
Hearing Lin Luo's exclamation, Zizhu on the side suddenly asked.
Clearly, it was interested in the phrase it had never heard before.
This means that when you don't have enough strength, getting a heart-warming treasure will only lead to disaster. ”
Lin Luo could only use the words he could understand to explain to Zizhu.
I see, it sounds reasonable. ”
Hearing Lin Luo's explanation, Zizhu asked clearly, "Is this sentence also told to you by that powerful wandering spirit?"
"Well, yes. ”
Hearing this, Lin Luo immediately nodded.
Now he already knew that the so-called wandering spirits were those who had formed a covenant to coexist after they were wiped out, and they were lucky enough to survive and could only wander through the mountains and forests to continue looking for the spirits of the new tribes.
Before, Zizhu found such an excellent dumping partner for him by himself, and Lin Luo naturally wouldn't be polite.
Seeing Lin Luo nodding and admitting, Zizhu sighed with feeling: "Maybe that tribe of wandering spirits was wiped out because of this!"
"Perhaps!"
Lin Luo continued to nod in agreement.
And Wu also admonished Lin Luo with a solemn expression at this time: "Lin Luo, you have to remember that in this world, the most dangerous thing is not the fierce beast, the real most dangerous is the human being. ”
"Understood. ”
Hearing this, Lin Luo nodded solemnly.
You must know that in this world, human beings are not dominant, but struggling to survive in all kinds of dangers.
Originally, Lin Luo thought that in this case, human beings would choose to huddle together to keep warm to increase their hope of survival.
Unexpectedly, the root of human selfishness and greed still exists even in the primitive era when it was full of danger and had to struggle to survive.
Even in this small mountain range, the four tribes are suspicious of each other.
The reason why the two stronger tribes of Tiger and Peach did not rashly attack the weaker Bamboo and Fox tribes was because they were afraid that the other would be followed by praying mantis and catching cicadas and yellow finch.
And the relationship between the two tribes of Bamboo and Fox is as close as allies, because they know that if they want to survive in the face of two strong enemies, they must huddle together to keep warm.
It is precisely because of their mutual containment that there are only occasional skirmishes between several tribes, but there are never large-scale wars.
However, how long can such a barely stable situation last?
The answer to this question is not to say that it is a witch, I am afraid that even Zizhu, who is the guardian spirit of the tribe, does not know.
As for the matter of the water source, in order not to cause trouble, Wu obviously didn't want to leak it out before.
However, this time, the fox tribe's water fetching team suffered heavy losses, which made Wu change his mind.
After all, the two tribes of bamboo and fox can also be regarded as a relationship between lips and teeth, and if the fox tribe loses too much because of water extraction, it will inevitably affect their overall strength.
The direct consequence is likely to be that the originally barely balanced state of containment is broken.
Such a result, the bamboo tribe naturally does not want to see it.
Therefore, trading water with the Fox Tribe, in addition to the fact that the Fox Tribe's strength is weak, has no ability to destroy the Bamboo Tribe, the more important thing is to win over the Fox Tribe.
After all, the matter of the spring could not be concealed for a while, and the other two tribes would know about it sooner or later.
Therefore, Wu Cai decided to trade with the fox tribe, which can not only increase some income for the tribe, but also help the fox tribe tide over the difficulties.
The purpose is to hope that when the other two tribes attack the Bamboo Tribe for the spring water in the future, the Fox Tribe will be able to help.
Because, only if the spring is in the hands of the bamboo tribe, they can continue to come in exchange for spring water in the summer season in the future.
If it were in the hands of either of the other two tribes, they would definitely open their mouths without scruples.
At that time, if the fox tribe wants to exchange spring water, it will definitely have to pay an extremely high price.
Even, after destroying the Bamboo Tribe, the Fox Tribe is likely to be the next target to be destroyed.
Thinking of these intrigues that he had never thought of before, Lin Luo instantly felt that his chances of survival had decreased by a few points.
In the end, Lin Luo shook his head helplessly, and also got up to say goodbye to Wu and left.
