Chapter 125: Crocodile Totem

When the double-sided drum with cowhide as the drum surface, the golden silk nanmu as the drum body, the double-sided drum with fish glue and bamboo nails was beaten, the tribe was very flustered for a while. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoHalf-sized wolf dogs and baby elephants and lame goats are running around, women are screaming in fright, children are crying in fright, and others are also panicking and terrified.

Wang Chuan was quite satisfied with this reaction. After pausing to explain to everyone, I made Bang Bula knock harder. The drums thundered. This time, even a few birds and beasts outside the fence fled in all directions.

The tribesmen gathered around the drum, looking at this monster with a sound like thunder, and watched in awe. When my mother learned that this was from Wang Chuan's hand, she was full of pride and immediately wanted to name this thing Lei. Wang Chuan hurriedly said that he didn't dare to steal the limelight with God, this thing is just called a drum, and when it is beaten, it is called a drum. The mother felt that what Wang Chuan said was reasonable, and immediately agreed.

When the drums were made, they were beaten morning and evening, so that the people and animals of the tribe could become familiar with this sound. This is to be used in wartime, in case it is knocked out in wartime, and your own side is in chaos first, then there will be great fun. After a few days of knocking, the little wolf dog and the baby elephant gradually got used to it. Sometimes when the baby elephant sees that there is no one around the drum, he will wave his nose and shake it twice, and then run away as quickly as he pranks.

The effect of the first drum was good, so Wang Chuan made persistent efforts with Bang Bula and made several big drums. Drum stands and wooden poles were also made to facilitate the movement of drums.

After the war drums were ready, the temperature rose significantly, and the snow on the ground began to melt. The ice on the surface of the river has also become thinner. The people who went to the Carving Flute tribe reported back two times a day, but there was no news of any progress. A small stockade was built over there, with three wooden houses and a cave.

It is said that at this time in previous years, they had to abandon the cave and run in the mountains for ten days and half a month to escape this catastrophe. Now it is said that the people of the Diaodi tribe do not go out too far to hunt, but only wait for the captors to come and fight with them.

Thinking that this year's situation was more complicated than in previous years, Wang Chuan thought about whether to call them back to the tribe to hold on, after all, when the ice and snow melted, the big river would become a natural barrier, and then he would not be afraid of the threat from the other side of the river.

Just when Wang Chuan hesitated, the person who returned this day was a strong man from the tribe who rode a deer and carried the carved flute, and they brought back some different news.

I rode back to see my mother, and then I went to Wang Chuan to report: "A few days ago, you came to the news that someone was going to do something to the tribe, so I took the strong cow and this Raqiong to see the tribe that would come to arrest people. ”

Deer riding and others have lived in the Carving Flute tribe for so long that simple communication has been established. According to their previous accounts, the Eagled Flute tribe used to have more than so many people, and they used to communicate with other tribes, but then they didn't know where a strange demon tribe came from, and they kept capturing people from the surrounding area for decades, so several tribes over there were exterminated. The people of the Eagle-flute tribe are born strong and strong, and there is only so little left. But the origin and address of this tribe, they did not know before.

This is definitely good news, Wang Chuan asked expectantly, "What have you discovered?" ”

"We found the location of their tribe. In a river valley. This is what the boy from the strong cow gave you...... Letter. ”

The riding deer took out a crumpled animal skin from his bosom, and when Wang Chuan opened it, he saw that several lines had been poorly drawn on it with black charcoal mixed with water, and there were one or two dots on it. This should be the map drawn by Zhuang Niu according to Wang Chuan. However, this is no different from the treasure map in the movie, and ordinary people can see that there are ghosts. It's important to have a few words written crookedly on it: there are more than 100 people.

Wang Chuan praised the three of them and said, "Tell me about the detailed situation." If we can anticipate the enemy's opportunity, you have a lot of credit. ”

The deer rode a little proudly and with shame and said: "This is what the kid Zhuang Niu meant, he said that you said that the enemy is unknown, so you have to find a way to spy on that clear." It just so happened that this Radome had escaped when he was captured a few years ago, and vaguely knew the location of their tribe, so we went out to look for it for a few days. ”

Wang Chuan looked at the deer's broken boots and the frost on his face, and didn't believe that they had just checked it for a few days.

Qilu pointed to the map drawn by Zhuang Niu and began to explain to Wang Chuan: "This tribe has to walk for more than three days from the side of the Diaodi Department to the west, in a river valley. Here is a river, which forks here, and they are in the river below. There were a lot of rocks, a lot of cliffs, a lot of shallow little caves, and they lived in the little caves on those cliffs...... Here by the river, they made a lot of bones out of wood, both human and animal...... I also found a lot of crocodile egg shells. ”

Wang Chuan identified it and found that this should be a tributary of the upper reaches of the Yeyuan River, and it was not strange that there were crocodiles there, but if they also had crocodile skins, then they had to be careful, so he asked, "They also wear crocodile skins?" ”

"We hid there for a long time, but we didn't see them wearing crocodile skins." The words of the Laqionghe tribe from the tribe of deer riding and carving flutes were echoed for a long time, and then he said, "He said that he had never seen them wear such animal skins. ”

Wang Chuan said: "Then you have been there for so long, have you found any people who have been taken captive by the Diaodi tribe?" ”

The deer rode and exchanged words with Laqiong, "He said no." I have never seen anyone who was taken back. He also escaped halfway. He said that the people of his tribe should all die by the river, supported by wood. ”

After riding the deer, Radome knelt down. He had been to the tribe before, had attended the wedding of the carved flute and the strong ox, and knew that kneeling was a great gift for the river tribe. After he knelt down, he said with righteous indignation, a big strong man, and he shed tears as he spoke.

Riding the deer beside him, he said: "He said that he hoped that we could help them destroy the demon tribe that captured people, and help the people of their tribe to avenge their deaths, they died too miserably, not in the battle of wild beasts, but on the wooden shelf...... As long as we are willing to help, they will be completely submissive to us, under our command, and have the same surname as we are. ”

Wang Chuan helped him up, this is the elder of the carved flute, although I don't know if it's my father or uncle, I can't let him kneel and lose his life.

Regarding the demon tribe that La Qiong said, based on the information he knew before, Wang Chuan felt that they might be a tribe of crocodile totems. They live by the river and are in awe of crocodiles, so they don't wear crocodile skins. Every year at the beginning of spring, when the crocodiles are at their most vicious, they go around to catch people, feed the crocodiles with human beings, and offer them as sacrifices. Wang Chuan remembered that the carving flute had said that they had a strange smell on their bodies, which might be some kind of smell that the crocodiles didn't like, so that they could avoid being harmed by the crocodiles. As for the carving flute said that they still have horns tied on their heads, why is this, Wang Chuan has not thought it through.

Now that you know where their tribe is, it's best to go ahead and kill them. As long as this tribe is not eliminated, it will come over every year to harass the stronghold of the Eagle-flute tribe, and sooner or later a greater conflict will break out. Instead of waiting for people to come to the door and be surrounded by people, it is better to kill them yourself and clean them up. After a winter of training on my side, it is just time to check the training results of the tribal warriors, so that they can improve their combat power in actual combat.

However, Wang Chuan was more worried that this tribe seemed to have nothing to do with the tribes on the side of the Taijiang River. Who is the other enemy?
