However, after Shui Yuan came back, although he couldn't do anything with the White Water Tribe, he took the initiative to reconcile with the other party, and used some dried fish and jade caught back to make up for the losses brought to the White Water Tribe by the previous battle between Shui Ze and them.

Relations eased, and he took the opportunity to ask Gen for advice on how to keep the nets intact. Yuan has long formed an alliance with some other small and medium-sized tribes, and unanimously declared that he has formed an alliance with the Ding tribe, and has been unanimous in external affairs. So under the pretext that the alliance needed to be discussed, Yuan temporarily rejected Shui Yuan's request.

Unable to get the result, Shui Yuan sent someone to secretly observe how the Baishui tribe fished, and how to maintain and take care of the fishing nets after fishing, and finally let him find a set of methods, which was to preserve the two nets of their tribe in the way of "three days of fishing and two days of drying nets".

As for low-tech skills such as basket weaving and basket weaving, Gen agreed that Mizubuchi would learn it after paying some price. Through this move, it can be regarded as providing a lot of transportation tools for the tribe, especially for fish transportation and gathering, which changed the history of transportation with animal skins.

Therefore, the development speed of the Blackwater tribe has gradually accelerated.

With an abundant reserve of food, Shui Yuan began to plan to hunt slaves, and waging war was the fastest way to obtain slaves. Shui Yuan personally led the team, and Mizusawa stayed behind the tribe and killed in the southwest direction.

Yanhuo Tribe, the leader of the Yan tribe, has organized the warriors of his tribe since he returned, and transmitted the information he observed and heard in the Ding tribe to the tribe in a way that he understood, and trained in this way. Now he attaches more importance to the training of the warriors of the Ding tribe, although he did not approach Ningcheng to watch in the Ding tribe, but he relied on his brain and ears.

With a fishing net, more pottery and tools, axes and saws sent by the Baipu tribe, and the technology of weaving tools, the development speed of the Yanhuo tribe has increased dramatically.

Moreover, Yan is a very smart person, he combined what the Baipu tribe said and what the Ding tribe saw, and guessed that the Ding tribe must have a way to extract materials from stones to make axes and saws. Combined with some unknown smoke, it is likely that fire was used as an aid.

As a tribe that has been dealing with fire for many years, their understanding and use of fire is far superior to that of other tribes. Therefore, as soon as Yan returned, he communicated with the Doctor Witch and told the Doctor Witch about his guesses and ideas, hoping to get his support.

After hearing this, the doctor witch directly expressed his support and began to mobilize people to go to the mountains around the tribe to search for all kinds of colored stones, especially the red, green or blue stones that the Ding tribe was looking for. Once found, use the power of the witch doctor to get the magma out and calcine the stones to see if you can get bronze materials or something different.

Using their own expertise, the Firefire Tribe began to take a step towards the Clan's power.

Aoki tribe, the leader Nan Zheng and the tribal doctor Wu Spruce discussed the current harvest of the tribe from the Ding tribe, and the meeting was naturally attended by Bai Guo and the tribe's first hunter Cang Song.

On the first day that Bai Guo brought the people back, Nan organized his men to start burning stones with fire, which were mainly stones that the captive knew and were similar to the stones he had smashed. But no matter how they burned it, they either couldn't burn the stone or got a pile of powder, and there was no reaction when they added water.

After so many days in a row, there was not a single effective result, which inevitably discouraged them.

According to the information received from the captive, the Ding tribe was a stone pulled from the surrounding mountains, and when the stone was pulled over, they smashed the stone. There were two kinds of stones, but he only smashed one of them with a white powder on the outside. At the end of each day, my hands are covered with a thick layer of stone dust. In this case, we came back looking for stones in this direction, but we found similar stones but never got what we needed. ”

Bai Guo slapped himself hard, as if he felt a little guilty and felt a little guilty

Incompetent, going around and around, never getting what you want, feeling discouraged inside.

They wanted to get something like an arrow, but they couldn't!

"It's not your fault, there's definitely some technology in there that we don't know or don't master. We can continue to do it, but if we can't do it around us, we will expand to other places, believing that there will be a day when we will find it. As long as you go in the right direction, you will always get closer to the goal. ”

The doctor witch spruce is also relatively old, and he looks very thin, but he is in good spirits, and his eyes are clear and bright, which makes it difficult to associate him with an old man about fifty years old. The speech is sonorous and powerful, and it makes people feel comforted and warm.

"Yes, the doctor is right, don't be sad about Ginkgo seeds. Now there are two possibilities, one is that we did not find the right stone, and the stones in the surrounding mountains are not the target. The second is that the fire we use may not be up to the requirements, you can see the stones we burned, and some of the stones have not changed much at all, so this is also where we need to work hard. ”

Nan also comforted Bai Guo and said what she thought.

"If possible, we will personally go to the Ding tribe and find a way to reach their core personnel or core materials. It's really not possible to use the things that the Ding tribe needs, and exchange them with them, I remember hearing Bai Guo say before that the Ding tribe is interested in some rare things, and even needs a large number of slaves. ”

Cangsong, who was sitting on the side, also expressed his opinion, thinking that something that can impress the other party is a good thing.

"Well, that's a good suggestion, you can arrange for someone to go over and negotiate."

Spruce nodded, seemingly satisfied with Cangsong's suggestion.

"Yes, we can do it in five steps at the same time. One is to continue to look for stones, improve the use of flames, and solve the problem ourselves. This method may last a long time, but it is our own method and we don't have to share it with others. Moreover, there is another advantage, even if we can't find a way to improve the flame, as long as we find a kind of stone that the Ding tribe needs, we can also exchange technology with the other party based on it, and even the two sides are not impossible. ”

Nan thought more and put her thoughts forward.

"The second is that we are going to wage war and capture more slaves, which is something that the Ding tribe desperately needs, just like they are looking for that red stone.

The third is to send people to the Ding tribe to discuss with them about the exchange of technology, including the weapons and convenient tools they use, which are all urgently needed by us. Secretly, we have to find a way to get information that they don't let us see, and that's probably the key to that.

The fourth is to find a way to contact the tribes who work in Ningcheng, I think they have been there all the time, and they will definitely learn some more valuable information, and we will find a way to exchange it back. ”

Nan paused, quickly voiced her thoughts, and came up with very constructive suggestions. In the end, as if he had made an important decision, he said slowly:

"Fifth, it is to send someone to the Ugin tribe to obtain the other party's forgiveness and throw Chijin's death on the head of the Houtu tribe. According to legend, the Ugin tribe has a mysterious existence of gold, and their tribal name is also taken from one of the types of gold: Ugin. ”

Nan set his sights on the Witch, a legend told to him by the Witch, so the Spruce Witch nodded in support of Nan's statement.

"Good! The leader had a point. Then do this, the matter of finding stones and snatching slaves can be put together, and this is the responsibility of Cangsong, the first warrior of the tribe. If you go to the Ding tribe to exchange, you will go by the leader, and it is a little inappropriate for Baiguo to go again. Bai Guo went to the tribes who participated in the construction of Ningcheng to find a breakthrough. ”

The doctor finally made arrangements, and Bai Guo and Cangsong took the order and left, leaving only the doctor and the leader. The two looked at each other and stopped talking.

"Uh, Witch, you speak first."

Nan was a little embarrassed and humble

Let the doctor spruce speak first.

"Let's talk about it first, you grew up with me, I believe your opinion."

Spruce looked at Nan with a smile and encouraged Nan.

"Healer, the legend of the Aragami has come true, and the world of the Great Wilderness will undergo very big changes, even our five major tribes may not be able to stand still in this era of change. Just like standing in a turbulent river, a person will always be hit by the current and swaying from side to side, or even swept away by the water until he is drowned. This trend is irreversible, and the only way to do it is to follow the trend. ”

Nan paused, organized the language, and continued:

"The legend of Aragami is that he came to the world to bring light and hope to all the tribesmen, and brought food, clothing, and security. Judging from the current situation, looking at this matter fairly, all the miraculous things that happened to the Ding tribe where Aragami is located are indeed developing in that direction, not to mention the city that Bai Guo talked about that can accommodate many people and provide safe shelter for people.

As tribal leaders, you and I also aim to allow more tribal members to live, to be fed and clothed, so that children can grow up, and the tribe can continue. If possible, can we join the Ding tribe or form an alliance with them to achieve this goal? ”

In the end, Nan was a little nervous, not knowing if he would not like to say such a thing, and whether he would criticize himself for betraying the tribe.

Eventually, he received the approving gaze of the Witch, just as he had ever done when he had been a child.

The Ugin tribe, guarding a treasure mountain, is studying the characteristics of the tribe's three metals, namely: Ugin, lapis and red gold. If an ordinary steelworker were here in the twenty-first century, one glance would tell that the three metals correspond to iron, lead, and copper.

This is a secret belonging to the Ugin tribe!

Three metals, selected from their hardness, were put on a fire to burn. They found that the lapis turned into a silvery-white, watery object when it was burned by fire, and that the lapis itself was soft.

The red gold only melts when it is burned to the extreme, but after it is melted, they have no way to hold it, so they can only hold it in a clay bowl, but soon the clay bowl cannot withstand the heat and cracks, causing the copper juice to spill out.

However, after burning it for a while, when it is taken out, it can be smashed into the shape you need with a stone axe, such as a dagger, but it is okay to pierce into the flesh of the beast after it has cooled down, but it is not sharp, even if it is sharpened on a stone like a grinding stone dagger. Moreover, if you stab hard, it may even bend the copper dagger, and it will never reach the sharpness of half of the artifact.

With Ugin, they could never melt it, they could only burn it red, and it could slowly deform under the multiple blows of the stone axe, but they never had a suitable tool to hold Ugin.

After thousands of efforts, relying on perseverance, they used two long stone bars to clamp small pieces of Ugin, made them into the style of a mountain knife, and then sharpened them on large stones at the water's edge.

In the end, the hard work paid off, and the two-foot-long mountain knife was sharpened into a sharp weapon by the clansmen day and night.

When the knife easily cut through the fur of the prey and cut the flesh, when the tribesmen took the knife and easily cut down a tree with a thick bowl mouth, all the tribesmen fell to their knees and wept bitterly.

All this is not easy to get, it is their leader who fought with his own life, and they deserve to kneel themselves!

With the successful experience of the first time, the second and third times became more and more proficient, and one by one the same mountain knives were made, which were sharpened into sharp and strong weapons by the clansmen.

There are even clever clansmen who create a small thumb-thick black gold needle, use this black gold needle to smash through two plate-like black gold sticks, and then use another black gold needle to insert into those two holes, smash it solidly, and become the most primitive pliers, making the process of making a mountain knife easier and easier.
