The snake tribe is not the only primitive tribe on the earth, in all directions of the snake tribe, there are more or less primitive tribes struggling to survive in this world.

In terms of population, 20 to 50 people are small tribes, 50 to 200 people are medium tribes, 200 to 500 people are large tribes, and more than 500 people are giant tribes.

There is also a distinction between good and evil, and good tribes are not only good to their own people, but also more friendly to other tribes they come into contact with; Vicious tribes have strict internal hierarchies, are warlike, and will act against their weaker tribes, and more evil tribes have a tradition of cannibalism.

The snake tribe belongs to the good tribe, with a population of one hundred and sixty-five people, which is relatively large among medium-sized tribes, and when agriculture has not developed to a certain extent, the population of primitive tribes living by means of hunting, fruit gathering, and fishing cannot reach too many numbers.

Due to the large woods, it was difficult for the two primitive tribes to reach as long as they were a little farther away.

Even if some primitive tribes possess technology that other primitive tribes do not have, it is difficult to spread the technology because it is difficult to access.

This also leads to another situation, almost every primitive tribe has a different accent, just like the dialects of various parts of China, which sound as if they speak a foreign language, and they can't understand what the people who speak the dialect are saying, which is a great measure of secrecy, but it is also one of the reasons why there is not much communication between primitive tribes.

The cold winter was the most disgusting season for other primitive tribes, who, like the snake tribes, were busy gathering food in the autumn, mainly with a variety of fruits that were easy to store.

Tribes with a little more luck will be able to gather enough food before the temperature drops to a certain level, and as long as they save a little to eat, they will be able to hold out until the end of this cold winter.

In order for the less fortunate tribes to collect enough food, the first step is to reduce or even eliminate the share of food for the elderly and sick in the tribe and give priority to healthy adults and children in order for the tribe to survive.

If there is not enough food to eat, they have to risk their lives to hunt in the bitter cold wind, and most of the time they have to take the initiative to attack the beasts with sharp claws and sharp teeth.

The situation is more serious is that after each heavy snowfall, the snow covers the breath of all the prey, and the "hunters" begin to be active in order to catch the prey, because the primitive people who lack food will go out to hunt at this time It will be very dangerous, but they can't help it, not going means that the tribe will starve to death, the whole tribe will die, and there are evil tribes that will eat their own people as food, but there are not many such evil tribes.

To the north of the Serpent tribe was a very small tribe, with only eighteen people, living in a very small cave, without witches, with only eight adults, including the chief, ten minors, no old and no sick, and they were the first to be abandoned in every food crisis.

Now, once again, the food crisis has struck, and there are no old people and sick people left in the tribe to throw away.

In the autumn, the young chieftain took his people everywhere to gather fruit, and even the older children went with them, leaving the rest of the children in the cave and filling the cave with large stones.

It wasn't until the first snow of winter that the fruit collection stopped.

Looking at the fruits collected by his tribe, the young leader knew that these fruits would not be enough for all his tribesmen to survive this winter, so he could only reduce his rations as much as possible and eat half full every day to last longer.

Now looking at the fruit and a little bit of meat left in the cave, they can't last long, they have to go out hunting, and without food, the people will only starve to death one by one.

Early in the morning, when the sun had just risen, and after eating what little meat was left, and regaining some strength, the young leader went out hunting with the other six adults, leaving only the child and a pregnant adult female clansman in the house.

Halfway through the afternoon, the leader returned empty-handed with five of his clansmen, two of whom were still wounded, and both of them looked a little weak because of the loss of blood.

It turned out that when they went out hunting, they found some carnivores that acted alone, but they did not hit one of them, but in the afternoon they encountered wolves, in order to cover the retreat of the others, one of the tribesmen took the initiative to send them to death to lead away the wolves, and the leader was able to bring back the other five tribesmen.

Instead of catching prey, they lost an adult who was very important to the tribe, and two adults were injured and could not go out hunting for a short time.

This small tribe is already facing a crisis worse than the shortage of food, and if you are not careful, the whole tribe will be destroyed.

In the darkness, the young leader thought of many things, he thought of the dead people, he thought of the previous leader who handed over the death of the tribe to himself, and asked him to take the tribe to survive, his eyes were already full of tears.

There are only four people left in the small tribe who can continue hunting, and there is no meat in the tribe to restore their strength, and the risk of going out to hunt is infinitely higher.

This small tribe is relatively close to the snake tribe, and the snake tribe has some exchanges, the main exchange is borrowing, primitive people have figured out that they can not always be close relatives to breed offspring, through borrowing seeds can increase the blood composition of the tribe.

It is safe to say that there are people in this small tribe who have the blood of some people in the snake tribe, and some people in the snake tribe also have the blood of this small tribe, there is a slight possibility that Su Yan's father is a member of this small tribe.

After thinking for a long time, the young leader thought of the snake tribe closest to his tribe.

"Maybe you can try it there."

The next day, the young leader left the tribe alone, and before leaving, he pointed to the second most powerful man in the tribe and said to all the adults, "If I do not return, let him lead you." ”

The tribesmen watched the leader go away with a hint of sadness and hope, they knew that the leader had gone out to find food for them, and they hoped that the leader would return safely.

After the leader's figure disappeared into the woods, the tribesmen moved stones to block the entrance to the cave, and the remaining fruit in the cave would last them for several days.

Walking alone in the woods, the danger increases dramatically, and it is likely that a wild beast will turn him into his own food, and he can only be careful and careful.

Luckily, he escaped the wolves, the leopards hidden in the trees, and the tiger, the king of the forest, and came to the area near the snake tribe with difficulty.

He had been to the Snake Tribe's place of residence, and today he was once again at the Snake Tribe's place of residence, and his eyes were full of confusion.

"What is this?"
