The Hunt Day event was cancelled, much to Tinki's surprise. The attitude of the four major tribes was also unexpected by him.

Now that it's over, Ding Qi can't stop everyone from holding it anymore, but he feels a little pity.

The thunder is loud and the rain is small, this is how Tinch feels about the activities of the hunting day. Ding Qi, who had not yet participated and had not experienced the fun of the Hunting Day event, could only give up his previous ideas and discuss the next arrangements with several of their tribes. In addition to the Aoki tribe, the three tribal leaders, led by Mizubuchi, did not show any intention of joining the Ding tribe as well, but they said that they would faithfully fulfill their alliance agreement.

Ding Qi, on the other hand, stayed in the Heishui tribe for another six or seven days, one was to wait for the bronze axe to come over, and the other was to teach the four tribes about pottery making, red brick firing, charcoal burning and other skills, and at the same time taught everyone the net weaving technique.

In the middle of this, Ding Qi also sent people to invite Bai Shui, Bai Ze and other small and medium-sized tribes to come to the Heishui tribe for a party, contact and deepen the relationship between Heishui and a number of small and medium-sized tribes, and at the same time tell everyone about the establishment of the new five tribes.

After Cang returned, Ding Qi and Shui Yuan fulfilled their previous agreement, handed over the axe to Shui Yuan, and took back sixty pieces of hematite ore himself. These would be the source of the tribe's first iron tools, and how much iron could be obtained depended on the iron content of these hematite ores.

After that, Ding Qi had another in-depth conversation with Shui Yuan, and the conversation was about the place where the red stone was found. Ding Qi wanted to know the exact location, but Shui Yuan always said that it was found in that puddle, and said that after the water fell, he would definitely take someone to check it again to see if more stones could be excavated.

Ding Qixin said that it would be strange if you could dig it out, but his attitude towards Shui Yuan was not displeased because the other party was still hiding it. He's not afraid, it's just a big deal that this is another graystone tribe!

After the meeting of the new five tribes, Ding Qi immediately suggested that the four tribes shrink the scope of their activities and prevent the merchants of the Houtu tribe from secretly attacking. In particular, the Ugin tribe, which tried to deprive the Houtu tribe of its identity of the five major tribes at this meeting, is most likely to be the target of the Houtu tribe's attack.

Chijin, who knew the whole story best, was even more worried and immediately approached Ding Qi to find a solution.

After Ding Qi listened to Chijin's worries, he directly gave a solution. The Ding tribe sent a team of elite warriors to accompany the Chijin tribe to return to the Ugin tribe, and at the same time, the soldiers of the Ding tribe counted the metal of the Ugin tribe, sealed it on the spot, and distributed it according to the previous agreement after the two sides began to formally cooperate.

As soon as Ding Qi returned to Ningcheng, he sent a team of craftsmen and warriors to the Ugin tribe with some of the bronze materials, and began to craft these metals, especially the iron tools, in winter. At the same time, they were taught how to make bronzes, how to proportion, and how to cast.

Ding Qi attaches great importance to the metal of the Ugin tribe, although the Ugin tribe is strong now, but no one dares to be careless in the face of the enemy in the dark. Therefore, he sent Xiong to lead a squad of warriors to the Ugin tribe, accompanied by weapons and horses, and their food and drink were all taken care of by the Ugin tribe.

Chijin readily agreed, and took the people back to prepare.

The other side.

Ding Qi did not immediately agree to the decision of Nan, the leader of the Aoki tribe, at the Hunting Day meeting, but suggested that Nan return to the tribe and discuss with his tribe's medical witches and the main tribal personnel before making a decision. Nan didn't accept it, saying that his decision was the decision of the entire tribe, and he had to arrange for someone to greet the people of the entire Aoki tribe halfway.

In the end, Ding Qi used a compromise to ask the Aoki tribe to arrange the relocation after the snow melted next year, and he would send a team of people to assist the Aoki tribe. Tribal migration is a big event, and the workload is enormous

All sorts of problems will arise. And the place where the Aoki tribe lives for a long time can't be left alone, it is a large territory, and it is still necessary to send people to live and protect there, and it will be the tribe's food production area in the future.

Since Nan asked to join the Ding tribe, Nan told Ding Qi about the environment around the tribe. There are mostly forests and shrubs, many rivers flowing through the forests, and a large area of grassland suitable for farming. As for forests, they can be cut down and converted into grain fields. The development of human beings is also accompanied by the cutting down of a large number of forests and trees, and the extinction of many animals, which is an inevitable thing. If possible, Tinch would like to protect some animals, such as mammoths, woolly rhinos, saber-toothed tigers, etc., so that they can survive for as long as possible.

Tomorrow is about to return, and Ding Qi, who is arranging personnel to prepare for the trip, is approached by Yan from the Yanhuo tribe. As soon as he came, he directly invited Ding Qi to go to the Yanhuo tribe to "inspect and guide the work".

"Aragami, you have the blood of the god of fire, and you can also support the flames at will, as the servant of the god of fire, the Yanhuo tribe implores you to come to my Yanhuo tribe, let the people in the tribe see what you look like, and let people know what the real god of fire looks like! Such a young fire god, the Yanhuo tribe has never seen it. At the same time, I also hope that the Vulcan can give more good suggestions for the development of the tribe like instructing other tribes. ”

Yan's attitude is very religious, like that of a pilgrim. This was something he had been thinking about lately, but in the end he could only accept the fact that Ding Qi was the god of fire, which was why he had put his posture so low.

It's just that Ding Qi is a little embarrassed by the word "admiration" in Yankou, which really regards himself as a great person!

Ding Qi promised him that after the snow melted next year, he would arrange a trip to the Yanhuo tribe and bring some advanced technology and tools from the Ding tribe to help their tribe. At the same time, Ding Qi arranged for Yanhuo to start collecting some edible plant fruits, seeds, and other things around the tribe to test whether they could be grown.

Yan was very happy, and only after thanking him again did he turn around and go back, ready to arrange the return of his tribe.

But before Ding Qi could catch his breath, Shui Yuan came to the door again. It's just that this time he came, but he didn't come empty-handed, and brought ten buffaloes.

After talking, Ding Qi understood what Shui Yuan meant.

The first is to honor the gambling contract promised by Shui Yuan before Ding Qi leaves, and give ten buffaloes to the Ding tribe according to the male and female matching. The second is to express his gratitude to Ding Qi for his help to the Blackwater tribe, and Ding Qi taught them fishing net weaving methods, charcoal and pottery making methods, which can be regarded as solving a major problem for the survival of their tribe.

Seeing that Shui Yuan was so good, Ding Qi was embarrassed to take advantage of him. He reciprocated by teaching him how to use cattle animals, putting on nose rings, and personally putting nose rings on the ten buffaloes to teach the Blackwater tribe how to operate. With the nose ring, the buffalo, which is not very tame by nature, can be handled well, and there is no need to worry about the cow being frightened or not following orders.

This made Shui Yuan very happy, and said in his heart that he had another way to serve the buffalo, but he still had some broken thoughts about the horses of the Ding tribe, and he really wanted to get a horse!

Ding Qi saw his thoughts, and only told him that after the snow melted, they could go to the Ding tribe, and when the time came, they would give each of their four tribes a horse. This made Shui Yuan dance excitedly, and immediately rushed out to find Yan and Nan to report the news.

As for Chijin, he had already taken the people of his tribe to the Ugin tribe under the protection of Xiong and other warriors. A method of training warriors according to the Ding tribe, marching every day, hoping to return to the tribe one day earlier, so as not to be plotted by the Houtu tribe.

The next day, Ding Qi and his entourage of nearly 900 people began to set off to return to the Ding tribe. In addition to the twenty-six people of Dingqi, there were about eight hundred and fifty slaves.

This is the most important thing Ding Qi has ever been on this trip

After a winter of recuperation, study and training, this group of people will become a new force of a group of tribes next spring, and become the manpower and talents needed by the tribe's working groups, and even tribal warriors.

The whole crowd marched very quietly, and the faces of the people were filled with happy smiles and expectations for a better life in the future. Now, everyone in this area of the wilderness knows the Ding tribe very well, and they are particularly yearning for the life of the Ding tribe.

Therefore, they are very obedient to the management of the Ding tribe, just like they were slaves before.

It's just that Ding Qi doesn't want them to return to the Ding tribe peacefully, otherwise they will waste a lot of time. Therefore, after leaving the tribe, they walked peacefully for three days, providing everyone with plenty of food to recuperate.

Three days later, a group of ragged men, under the protection and supervision of more than twenty fighters, began an arduous training. Ding Qi's training plan was gradual, taking into account their physical fitness, just like the way he first brought them back from the Force Tribe.

In this way, you can not only save the return time, but also exercise your body in the process, improve your personal military quality, and also find some excellent personnel, such as Cang and Feng.

Ding Qi and his group trained enthusiastically, and along the way, they built more hunter huts along the way to supplement the lack of hunter huts, so that future generations could have a better place to rest. It's just that in the hunter's hut, there is no extra coarse salt and pottery for latecomers to use.

The return journey of the other group was full of blood and carnage.

The last group of the Houtu tribe who fled ahead of time caused all this. After escaping from the Blackwater Tribe as soon as possible, they picked some small tribes to start with and obtain all the things and tools they wanted. Murderous and vengeful hordes of people slaughtered and stole coarse salt, pottery, kitchen knives, shovels, and even precious axes and saws from these small tribes.

After the wolf-like group, what was left behind was corpses and raging flames. Especially recently, in the dry weather of autumn, the flames of annihilating the slaughtered tribes ignited the surrounding mountains and forests, expanding the scope of the wildfires, and devouring some animals and tribes that did not have time to escape.

When the news broke, everyone in the tribes was in danger and strengthened their tribal defenses, but it also affected the progress of the tribes in collecting a large number of winter materials in the autumn, so that some tribes harvested less than in previous years, and I don't know how many tribes would disappear under the relentless snow and cold of winter.

Shang Tu and they walked all the way north, avoiding medium and large tribes, picking on small tribes, and at the same time their speed was not delayed, and they were accompanied by some young women. The destination of Shang Tu was to go to a valley further northwest between the two tribes of Yanhuo and Ugin, which was a hidden place they had chosen earlier, away from the two tribes.

Shang Tu is going to make this place a breeding ground for his tribe, and those women will become the tools for their tribe to reproduce.

Shang Tu knew that the wounded wolf king would lie dormant, and after licking the blood from his body, he would once again strengthen his own clan until all his opponents were wiped out. Now he is choosing the wolf king's approach, hiding it, and destroying the enemy, especially the Ugin tribe, when he is wounded.

And for now, other tribes, including the Ding tribe, could not imagine that the Houtu tribe would give up the opportunity to take revenge on them and choose to lurk to recuperate.

However, Ding Qicai is not worried about these things. He trained all the way, selected fifty or sixty good slaves and sent them to Tong Village, and then marched along the road from Tong Village to the Ding tribe. By the time they returned to Ningcheng, it was almost late autumn, and the date was about the end of October, and the weather was already a little chilly.
