Volume 2 Playing with the Tribe Chapter 300 Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars
The Thunder Leader turned his expectant gaze to Cang, who he thought should be the leader of the team. Cang didn't respond to him, but looked at Ding Qi. The heart said, "Chief, have an idea!"
Ding Qi didn't care about anything else, the old god was staring at the venison on the bonfire, thinking about whether he would eat two more pieces, even if he celebrated in advance, he could get half a spear wood.
Nature is really magical, this kind of egg-thick, five or six meters tall plant, I have not heard of it before, but the toughness, hardness, sharpness is comparable to ordinary steel, what is more commendable is that it is so thick, it is easier to process, especially in the primitive society that lacks processing tools, and it is very appropriate to describe it with spear wood.
In the past, Ding Qi had seen a piece of iron birch, which was twice as hard as ordinary steel and three times harder than oak, and it was the hardest wood in the world, and people regarded them as a substitute for metal.
Although this spear wood is not as good as the iron birch, it is not far behind, so that Ding Qi has a plan to dig it all up. Moreover, Ding Qi had an idea that this spear wood could be processed into a longbow comparable to that made of yew wood, and the toughness might be stronger.
For the Tuvan tribe, cutting down a spear wood is very wasteful, but for the Ding tribe who have a saw, it can save half or even more time.
On the other side, the communication between Lightning and Cloud also came to an end for the time being, and Lightning looked satisfied and casually asked the last question:
"Yun, you know so much! I don't know where your tribe is? Not far from here, what is the population of the tribe? It must be a magical tribe, and I especially yearn for it! ”
Yun doesn't think so much, and besides, the current Ding tribe is really not afraid of others' concerns. What does the leader say? Yes, there is still a shortage of population, and this gap needs to be filled by slaves. Where do slaves come from? War! Especially tribal warfare, this is a particularly fast way to come to the slaves. The Ding tribe wishes that other tribes would come and attack them!
"Oh, you said that our Ding tribe has a large population, at least ten times the population of your tribe. The Ding tribe is about ten days away from here, by the way, this is the distance for horseback riding, and if you keep walking, it will take at least thirty days. We're all around there, and it's the first time we've been here. ”
As soon as I heard that the population of the Ding tribe was at least eight or nine hundred, my face suddenly became bitter, this is a really large tribe, and I can't provoke that. But when I heard that it was thirty days away from my tribe, the thoughts that were hidden in my heart suddenly popped out again, especially when I saw the clay pot in front of me that was boiling tea, and I couldn't stop the thought.
Standing up, I just saw Ding Qi's gaze coming, the two of them looked at each other, nodded slightly, and replied with a touch.
"Dear Witch, when do you think the bet between the two of us will begin? The venison will be cooked in no time, so why don't you bet on it first! ”
When it comes to venison, Lightning's mouth can't help but flow down, it's so fragrant! This Ding tribe is really a magical tribe, I feel that everything is stronger than my own tribe, even the barbecue meat is so fragrant, not to mention the sharp dagger, the clay pot for cooking meat, and the horse.
Wiping the corners of his mouth with his arm, forcing back the saliva that was about to flow out, Lightning said loudly:
"Haha! Bet on! ”
The firewood that has just been added to the campfire makes a beeping sound, as if to cheer for the Dingqi in the field, and of course, it may also be to cheer up the Tuvan tribesmen.
Dingqi had been waiting for the lightning to announce the beginning. Just now, he talked a lot with Thunder, and told Thunder that he could dig a well in the tribe, so as to solve the tribe's water problem.
He had also carefully looked at the tribe's ground in the circle he had just turned, and it was relatively humid in the shade facing south, and their tribe was surrounded by spear wood, which could retain moisture, so he could try to dig a well.
He told Thunder what he thought, but Thunderbolt took his statement as a joke, not to say that this land is not easy to dig, even if it is easy to dig, it can
Dig water out of the soil? Hasn't the soil been washed away by the water a long time ago, and there will still be the ground under their feet?
Thunder looked at Cang's face, and didn't refute Ding Qi, but just turned his head to talk to Cang. Cang was also very helpless, and spread his shoulders to Ding Qi, which meant to say: Leader, you don't need to be familiar with these people.
This makes Ding Qi can only look forward to betting to start sooner and sit there and suffer!
The flame of the firewood was high, and the brightness increased a lot by adding a few pieces of wood.
There was a circle of people from both tribes, and even the young girls who had danced around the campfire left happily because they knew that there was going to be an exciting event to come.
Lightning stood in the middle of the field, repeating the bet the two had made. The people of the Tuvan tribe were very excited after hearing this, first, there were few entertainment activities, and it was considered a stimulating activity. The second is that they know that Lightning often engages in this kind of betting game with visiting tribes, and gambling itself is a kind of human nature.
"Now that the rules of the bet have been clarified, now, I announce..."
"Wait!"
Ding Qi suddenly interrupted what Lightning was about to say, which made Lightning a little displeased, and looked at Ding Qi with a frown, which seemed to mean: Boy, why do you have so many things?
Ding Qi was standing in the middle of the field, holding a spear wood that Lightning had just handed him. But when he held it in his hand, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, this wooden spear was three points heavier than the one on the path just now. After trying his strength, he had to spend three more points of his strength. Ding Qi thought about it for a while, and found that he had fallen into the trap of lightning, and this guy actually used a plan: steal the beam and replace the pillar, and replace it with a stronger spear wood for Ding Qi to break.
However, Ding Qi was dumb and couldn't say whether he was suffering from Coptis chinensis, because they only said that they would break the wooden spear made of spear wood, and did not specify which wooden spear. He made the empirical mistake of believing that there was no difference between spears and wood, and that primitive people were less mindful.
But there are few people who play tricks, but they were bumped into one by Ding Qi!
"Lightning Doctor, do you dare to raise the stakes again?"
Ding Qi's eyes were staring at the lightning, some of his skin was not smiling, it was strange that he could laugh, he was put on a position by this primitive person, he must be uncomfortable in his heart, and he would give the other party a good face?
Lightning didn't dare to look at Ding Qi's eyes, his back to the campfire, his eyes flickering a little. The heart is also pounding, and the heart says that this guy wants to bet bigger? I've taken out half of the forest and gambled it! However, he didn't want to lose to Ding Qi in front of all the tribesmen, so he immediately said:
"Oh? If you want to bet on something bigger, yes, I do! If the bet isn't big enough, don't blame me for not accepting it! Ha ha! ”
Lightning smiled a little forcefully, a little sneeringly.
This gamble, gambling is luck, at present, he has a big chance of winning, but if he loses, the losing bet will definitely make him have a stomachache, because what he said is not hard enough. But think about the hand you kept, and the back hand, full of confidence, it's a big deal...
"Well, in that case, please bear witness. See the horses? There's a big black horse in there, yes, the one that's looking here, and I'm betting on it! ”
As soon as Ding Qi finished saying this, Xiao Erhei was unwilling, and Herod stood up, tore off the reins tied to the spear wood, and trotted to Ding Qi's side. The horse's mouth bit Ding Qi's animal skin short coat lightly, and he was coquettish, which means don't lose me!
This scene made the eyes of the surrounding Tuvan tribesmen light up and amaze. They are not surprised, they are used to it.
The lightning was even more shocked and inexplicable, and said that this is a spirit beast! I had to win this horse anyway, but unfortunately, I should have changed to a thicker spear wood just now.
The Tuvan tribe knows that the spear wood grows so specially that it takes at least twenty springs and autumns to grow to its current height. As for the thicker and longer ones, they are still in the woods behind the tribe and are easily obtainable. It's put in the tribe
The thicker wooden spears are still a part of what their ancestors left over from the time they carved out this place of existence, and there is not much left.
He felt that the one he gave to Ding Qi just now was already okay, and the first warrior of the White Bear Tribe couldn't move at all, looking at the small body of the person in front of him, he didn't underestimate him, it was a miracle that he could bend.
Lightning thought for a moment and said:
"Then my bet..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Dingqi again.
"Not to mention the other bets, just the six girls who danced here just now, plus those three little boys! Just the nine of them, what do you think? ”
The three little boys were three of the several boys who had followed Ding Qi all the way on the road just now, and they were standing at the front at this time, and Ding Qi was added as an add-on.
Otherwise, Ding Qi will feel panicked!
Lightning's face turned red, and he was interrupted twice by this guy, what a bad thing! I'll let you lose to the bottom, Lightning immediately shook his head and said:
"That's not good, plus two horses, and the kind of little dagger you just skinned, I'll bet with you!"
"In that case, do you dare to add four more young women?"
Ding Qi also hooked up with him and immediately raised.
"Good! Deal! Begin! ”
Lightning finally readily agrees to Tinch's bet, and the contract is generated!
The horses and bronze daggers that were taken as bets probably had no opinion, and even if they did, they could not say anything against it.
But the six girls on the other side who were taken as bets were shocked, angry and happy, surprised that they were taken as bets, and angry that the doctors and witches were treated as bets without asking their own opinions, and did not regard themselves as human beings. The good thing is that if the doctor loses, he and the others will be able to join the warriors of this tribe, and the warriors I saw just now are very strong!
They were ashamed and angry, and simply hugged each other for comfort, expecting a miracle to happen. It's just that in the eyes of their parents, there is emptiness and numbness, maybe they are used to it.
They stood on the periphery, sweating in their palms, they knew that the leader was powerful, but they understood the tenacity and sturdiness of the spearwood. The longer the spear wood, the greater the possibility of breaking, but the two-meter-long wooden spear is very difficult to break by grabbing both ends. At least a dozen people present, none of them could break the wooden spear that Ding Qi had taken before.
In the middle of the field, Ding Qi was holding a wooden spear made of wood specially prepared by the lightning, and was feeling the sensation that was fed back to him from it. The spear wood is very straight, and the first impression is that there is no bending.
Actually, the tree can't grow as straight as a horizontal line, and there will always be some flaws, such as a slight bend. Then it is at that point that it may be the anthill on the thousand-mile embankment, which becomes the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
A bent wooden stick, holding both ends with both hands, and the top of the arc against the knees, can easily break the stick regardless of the front and back directions; But if you don't have a knee to hold it up, it takes more effort to break it.
But on the other hand, without the help of external objects such as knees, it takes much more effort to break the top of the outer arc inward than it does to break the top of the inner arc inward. Ding Qi was now ready to break the wooden spear by not using objects other than his hands, so he had to find a way to use less effort.
There was a breeze blowing in their ears, and everyone held their breath, and at this moment even the annoying chirping and chirping insects disappeared, for fear of affecting Ding Qi. The whole world, only the sound of his own breathing and heartbeat.
Ding Qi's hand grasped the wooden spear and slowly slid over the spear, carefully discerning the subtleties of the spear.
Once, twice, three times...
Just when everyone gradually lost patience and was about to spit out the turbid breath in their chests, Ding Qi's eyes lit up suddenly.
"Found it!"
