Chapter 242: The Vanishing Tribe (Subscription Requested)
Just when the Tianlong tribe was arched by the female elephant, the thin head Tuo and other people who went to the grassland searched half of the grassland in turn, and they didn't find any trace of the Niu clan, and even the tents on the camp had disappeared, leaving only the tribe's imitation of the Tianlong tribe's rejection horse still placed there.
Originally, this time to send supplies to the Youniu clan was just a reason, Wang Tian just wanted to take this opportunity to let these cavalry of the tribe go out for a walk and explore the surrounding areas of the grassland.
Therefore, after entering the grassland, he did not go straight to the northwest direction where Youniu's was located, but turned to the northeast direction of the grassland after entering the grassland, and then searched all the way.
Thin-headed Tuo found that the northeast direction of the grassland also reached the edge of the grassland, which means that the depth of the grassland is in the west and northwest directions.
There was no sign of a bull market moving around the road, and now they were not in their temporary winter camp, and if they migrated, they would have to go deeper into the grasslands.
But now it is winter, the further you go to the northwest, the colder the temperature can only be, which seems to be illogical, when everyone asked the third brother which direction to go from next, he thought for a while, and thought that it was not reasonable to continue to go deeper into the northwest direction.
So they made the decision to move due west, even if they didn't meet the Niu clan on the way, they could also go to the sheep tribe without worrying about taking the wrong road in vain.
Anyway, the food was brought for them, and if they didn't receive it, it wasn't their tribe's problem, but what Skinny Tuo couldn't understand was where the Niu clan went?
Although their tribe lacked food, after the last joint hunt of the three tribes, it stands to reason that in just a few days, the prey obtained last time, even if it could not meet the needs of the whole winter, at least it would not be a problem to support it for more than a month.
Moreover, they themselves still have herds, but now none of them are gone, which is unreasonable, even if they are attacked by wolves, they will not be killed in the belly of the wolves.
There are so many people in the Niu clan, and only wolves are afraid, and now that the entire tribe has disappeared, Slender Toutuo can only conclude that this tribe has migrated to other places again, so which direction will they go?
Under the influence of their own tribe, it is unlikely that the Niu clan will stay away from the border between the grassland and the jungle, because their bows, arrows, spears and other weapons need to be close to the jungle to obtain raw materials.
For example, the horses that are now abandoned by them, these thick timbers are not available in the grassland, and if they are far away from the forest, it will be relatively difficult to obtain them.
He couldn't figure out where the Niu clan had gone, and the thin head tuo didn't think about it anymore, he was just a little worried about this tribe, because he found blood stains from the temporary camp where the Niu clan spent the winter, and it was human blood.
And the scene was also chaotic, as if the departure was in a hurry, in fact, it was, because there was a battle between the Niu clan and the sheep tribe here.
Things have to start from the last time the three tribes hunted together, and the sheep tribe was for the last time
He was very dissatisfied with the distribution of food, believing that the Niu clan had taken advantage of it, while his own tribe had suffered a big loss.
The leader of the sheep tribe, Yan, thought that the Tianlong tribe had given up the equal division of the prey, and the extra portion of food should be distributed evenly again, but for various reasons, he finally accepted the three or seven points in humiliation.
This result had already made him angry, but he didn't expect that there would be a problem with taking back the tribe's food, and everyone in the tribe vomited one by one after eating the beef.
If it was just one or two, the leader of the sheep tribe, Yan, might still think that he had eaten the wrong thing, but the whole tribe was like this, then he could only think that there was something wrong with the food.
And the last hunt only got a total of two bison, and he remembered that at that time, only the skin of these two cows was cut by the Niu clan, and now there is no problem with eating other food, but this beef has an accident after eating, which has to make him suspect that his tribe was poisoned by the Niu clan.
In fact, for this matter, the sheep tribe really wronged the Niu clan, and the reason why they were the ones who did to trim the skins of the two cows at that time was because Wang Tian asked them to get them because they had experience in raising cattle and killing cattle and could peel off the skins faster.
When Wang Tian was in a hurry to leave and rush back to the tribe, and he was worried that the people of his tribe had never made such a big leather as a cowhide, he invited someone from the Niu clan to take care of it, but he never thought that it would become the fuse of the direct conflict between the two tribes.
The pit he specially dug did not blow up, but an unintentional move made the two tribes fight, which he never expected anyway.
The war ended with the defeat of the Niu, and although both tribes suffered casualties on both sides, the Nius lost 20 warriors, almost all of whom were wounded.
The sheep tribe only lost 9 warriors, and the number of wounded was only 30% of the Niu's, and such a result was mainly due to their weapons.
Although the Niu clan was the first to imitate the bow and arrow weapons of the Tianlong tribe, the material of their weapons was not as sophisticated as that of the sheep tribe, and the sheep tribe imitated it more thoroughly.
Not only did they make bows and arrows, but they also made skis, which was not a weapon, but it gave them the upper hand.
Not only did it save their physical strength for their long journey to defeat the Youniu clan, but it also provided them with flexibility and mobility in battle, plus they came prepared, prepared for the unprepared, and the results were naturally predictable.
In the case that horses have not become the standard of the grassland tribes, it should be said that the physical fitness of the Niu warriors on the grassland is not as good as that of the sheep tribes living in the jungle.
For no other reason, the main place for the warriors of the sheep tribe to hunt is the mountainous terrain, and compared with the grasslands of the Pingchuan River, they need to pay more physical strength and endurance when accepting them, and their physical fitness is naturally higher than that of the people of the Niu clan.
When goat's milk and horses did not appear in the steppe tribes, the two tribes whose populations were not too far apart from each other were in a hurry, and the warriors were physically fit
The difference has become the key to the victory.
In a short period of time, it was defeated twice by the Tianlong tribe and the sheep tribe in succession, and the Niu clan lost nearly 50 adult warriors at once, and was robbed of a lot of food by the sheep tribe, and the prospect of the Niu clan surviving this winter is worrying.
The solution to the problem with them is naturally the same, the sheep tribe can sneak attack them, then they will fight back, although there will be casualties again, but this is really no way, and it is also the most effective solution in a short time.
But they are not stupid, after discovering the gap between their tribe and the sheep tribe, they naturally have to find a way to make up for it, so the entire Youniu clan migrated to the northeast near the jungle in a hurry.
That's right, it's the northeast direction, just when Slender Tuo turned back to the original station of the Niu clan the night before 90 degrees, they happened to come to the surrounding area of the Tree Tribe, the northern neighbor of the Tianlong tribe, and coincidentally staggered with the team of Slender Tuotuo.
It was a decision to learn a lesson: to get closer to the jungle to make wood and stone tools, to make bows, spears, and arrowhead weapons with stone axes, and to start making skis and training personnel.
Primitive people's ability to accept is actually no worse than that of modern people, and their ability to learn and imitate is even more amazing, because they were originally a blank sheet of paper, and they naturally accepted new things very quickly, and at the same time inspired by the last time the three tribes hunted together, this time, Youniu also thought of finding a helper to deal with the sheep tribe with him.
It's a pity that the helper they invited was selected as the Tree Tribe, and they didn't think of going to the Tianlong tribe at all, Wang Tian didn't expect that his own small calculation would make all the tribes around his tribe not quiet in this winter.
There are five elders of the Niu clan, and in the conflict of language tribes, there are three at a time, and now only the Elder of the Heavenly Wolf who supports the female leader Yan and another elder named Shan.
Elder Mountain is more slippery, he belongs to the kind of people who are grass on the wall, and he was the one who fell to the hardliners at the last moment when he was worried about whether to attack the Tianlong tribe or not.
Now that the three warlike elders of the Niu clan have been reimbursed at one time, and Elder Shan is a person who has no opinions, the power of the Niu clan is now completely in the hands of Elder Heavenly Wolf.
Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, a united Youniu clan has appeared in front of the Tianlong tribe, whether it is good or bad, there is no way to know now, if Wang Tian knows the current situation, he can't tell whether the nail he buried at that time was right or wrong.
The neighbors around the entire Tianlong tribe were all busy in the winter when it should have been quiet, and many of the things they had made were actually spreading outward, and I believe that it would not be long before the pottery would be made by this group of people.
The Tree Tribe also has no fixed camp like the Niu Clan, they do not live in caves, but have mastered a skill that is different from other tribes
Migration in the same climate, but the arc of migration will not be too large, so the Heavenly Wolf Elders of the Niu Clan are still sure that they can find them.
At the same time that the wolf was worried about not being able to find the camp of the tree tribe for a while, Wang Tian in the Tianlong tribe was also very worried, and the female elephant chased the murderer for thousands of miles, and followed the giant salamander to the outside of the wall of the Tianlong tribe.
He began to call his cub over and over again, if it weren't for the fact that the moat was so deep and slippery that it couldn't reach the gate under the walls of the Tianlong tribe, otherwise Wang Tian would have worried about whether the tribe's gate would be able to withstand the impact of this Asian elephant weighing more than 5 tons......
