A dry northwest wind blew across the valley floor of the Valley of Dawn, carrying away a bloody dust.

Every grain of dust here seems to be soaked in the smell of blood.

Rivers of blood......

The war has ended, and the Yan people have won a great victory without any suspense.

Lin Yuan made a brief count just now, in this battle, the Devil Clan's Yushenmu Clan killed and injured more than 400 people, and more than 500 people were captured, while the Yan tribe members only sacrificed less than 30 people, and almost half of them were Zheng Jing's people.

They also saw Xiang's corpse in the pile of enemy corpses, presumably Xiang must have surrendered to the Jiuli clan, and took the initiative to take a large army to find him along his memory, no wonder the Jiuli clan was able to find the door so quickly.

But fortunately, relying on Lin Yuan's excellent command, they won this small victory.

Throughout this battle, the victory was largely due to Lin Yuan's choice of the blocking location, as well as the high morale of our personnel, and then the enemy was overt and covert, and the attack was unprepared, resulting in confusion among the enemy.

Zheng Jing sat on the sand of the valley with blood on his face, in the hand-to-hand combat just now, he was almost wiped by the devil clan, if it wasn't for the big tooth who shot an arrow in time and saved his life, I'm afraid Zheng Jing would have been teleported away from death.

Impulsiveness is the devil......

Lin Yuan looked at Zheng Jing sitting there in a cowardly manner, and couldn't help but have such a word in his heart, which made him cry and laugh.

"Karma! And to help the eggplant clean up the battlefield, we have to hurry up, and be sure to rush back to the base camp before dark, ready to go back to defense! ”

Lin Yuan knew very well in his heart that for these primitives, he had almost achieved an epic victory just now.

But for Lin Yuan, he knew very well that it was just an appetizer just now, and there were more difficult battles waiting for him.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the remaining 6 major tribes, if they unite to attack the Yan clan, I am afraid that even Lin Yuan's tactics will not be able to return to the sky.

You have to think of a way to escape from the current predicament......

Lin Yuan frowned and thought again, and an adventurous idea loomed.

"King Yan! What to do with these captives? Killed? ”

Big Tooth came over with a team of Yan warriors, during the time when the blade was injured, Lin Yuan arranged for Big Tooth to take his place, judging from the performance of the past few days, Big Tooth is also competent, except for being a little reckless.

"Of course I'm going to kill it! Isn't it possible to keep it and eat it? Before Lin Yuan could reply, Zheng Jing interjected and came in, and several bald-headed Gaoshan clansmen behind him jumped up excitedly when they heard that they had killed the captive.

Lin Yuan frowned and asked rhetorically:

"Why kill?"

"Oh? Lin Yuan, do you really want to eat captives? Isn't this the preserve of headhunters......"

Zheng Jing said without yin or yang.

"Shut up! Don't be rude to King Yan! Da Ya stood in front of Lin Yuan with a short bow, Zheng Jing still wanted to say something, he stuck out his tongue, he still remembered that he almost died just now, if it wasn't for Da Ya who saved him with a bow and arrow......

"Good, good! For your sake, I'm not going to say anything about it, huh...... The design of this bow and arrow is very good, it seems that you Yan people still have talents......"

Zheng Jing changed the subject, and then left slowly.

"Eggplant, call your people, clean up the battlefield, and then collect the animal skins and weapons that can be used, and tie up all the living captives with ropes in a while, and take care to confiscate their weapons."

Eggplant nodded and ordered.

"Okay, let's hurry back, there is still something important waiting for us."

After Lin Yuan and his entourage buried their friends who died in battle, they drove 500 prisoners who threw themselves to the camp and spent most of the day rushing back to the camp.

When he arrived at the camp, it was already dark, and in order to prevent the camp from being exposed, Lin Yuan did not raise a huge bonfire, but only used a few torches as simple lighting.

The captives were temporarily stuffed into the pigsty by Lin Yuan, and then he hurriedly gathered all the people, including the Yan clan, the later Suiren clan, and the Gaoshan clan of Zheng Jing, and everyone gathered around, waiting for Lin Yuan to announce something important.

In the middle of the crowd, there was a huge pile of debris with bloody stone spears, mud-covered animal skins, polished stones of various shapes, and some bone knives.

These are all the spoils of the battle of Dawn Valley just now, Lin Yuan asked everyone to divide the spoils as soon as possible now, there are more important things to say later.

Everyone also understood that the important thing Lin Yuan said must be very serious, so they didn't say much, and consciously lined up and began to pick what they needed around the loot.

Not to mention these slightly dirty items, especially some with blood on them, they are simply worthless from the perspective of modern people.

But in the eyes of primitive people, these things, they are all treasures, you know, the smell of blood, put in the stream to wash and disappear, but these carefully polished stone tools, laboriously sewn animal skins are priceless treasures.

In this primitive world of material scarcity, there are still a large number of primitive people who do not even have a single animal skin clothing.

Therefore, Lin Yuan specially called the prisoners who had been liberated from the headhunters before, most of them were unclothed, and when they saw these trophies, they were all happy like flowers, dirty animal skins, a broken skin bag, or a bone knife with blood stains, all of which became the objects of competition between these primitive people, and everyone laughed happily and thanked Lin Yuan loudly.

A primitive mother with three children picked out some things from the trophies, then walked up to Lin Yuan and knelt down.

"King Yan! Thank you, King Yan! You gave us life, you gave us food, and now you give us warm clothes to defend ourselves, and you are the reincarnation of the god of fire! You are our god! Please agree that we will follow you for the rest of your life! ”

Hearing this primitive man's words, the primitive people who were originally coaxing the loot turned around one after another, and in the direction of Lin Yuan, they prostrate on the ground, and shouted loudly:

"Thank you, Great King Yan! Thank you, King Yan! ”

Lin Yuan was a little surprised, he didn't expect that these primitive people usually looked stupid, but in fact, he knew very well in his heart, who was good to them, he probably counted them, there were about 50 of these primitive people kneeling on the ground, all of them were captives rescued from the camp of the Jiuli clan, they were neither the Suiren clan nor the Gaoshan clan, they were all poor people who had been wiped out.

"Okay, then, from today on, you are the people of our Yan clan, as long as you believe in King Yan, King Yan will not give up on you! Forever! ”

Lin Yuan raised his arms and shouted, and for a while, everyone burst into tears and called King Yan.

Zheng Jing snorted disdainfully on the side, and he turned around and walked to his Gaoshan clan's side.

Lin Yuan saw Zheng Jing's performance, and he didn't want to explain anything, he had more important things to worry about now, that is...... How to deal with the upcoming Jiuli army.

As he thought about his hunger, he walked over to the pile of loot, and suddenly he noticed several children fighting for a small leather bag, and then grabbed something out of the skin and stuffed it in his mouth.

"What are you robbing?" Lin Yuan squatted down and asked softly, a few children suddenly saw King Yan arrive, they were so frightened that they couldn't speak, and the skin fell to the ground, and Lin Yuan picked it up.

He asked, and there was a faint scent in his skin that he had been very familiar with...... Is that...... The scent of some kind of cereal!

He hurriedly opened the leather bag, grabbed a handful of things with his hands, and felt the small round grains, turning them out of a brownish-yellow color.

This is......

"Lord Yanwang! Sorry for bothering you with my naughty child! ”

A primitive woman said apologetically and pulled the children away from Lin Yuan.

"Yes, it's okay! It's okay! Lin Yuan hurriedly said, he asked the skin bag in his hand again, and suddenly became excited.

He bent down and said to one of the children:

"You just ate it, what does it taste like? Is it tasty? ”

"It's ok!! It's just some chrome teeth, can this sand be eaten? ”

The child asked innocently.

Lin Yuan was noncommittal, stood up, carefully put away the skin, and then held back the joy in his heart, he didn't say anything, left the crowd, and found the eggplant.

He needed to make sure what he had in hand was what he needed the most.

"Eggplant, let me show you, have you seen this before?"

Lin Yuan showed him the skin, he had led the Suiren clan to stay in the mountains for a long time before, and he had studied various plants a little, he should be able to verify the information that Lin Yuan needed.

"Hmm...... This one...... It smells like millet! ”

Lin Yuan's heart sank.

Sure enough, this is the food crop he sent hunters to find for a long time, millet, is the ancient name, in modern times, it is generally called millet, which is an important food crop grown in ancient and medieval times, and it was also the main food of the ancients.

But in this Stone Age where Ru Mao drank blood, primitive people obviously had not learned the skills of growing food, and the key seeds, Lin Yuan had never been able to find them, but he didn't expect to find them here today.

"Hmm...... It should be millet, when I was young, I once saw it from a wandering hunter, and he gave me some to eat, it was not delicious at all, but this kind of thing can be kept for a long time, and it is very suitable for hunters as dry food. ”

He didn't notice the change in Lin Yuan's expression, and still said to himself.

Lin Yuan retracted his mind and continued to ask:

"Well, do you know where you got this millet from? Do you have a flint clan? ”

Eggplant shook his head and said with a wry smile:

"This thing is not available in the Suiren clan, although we are not used to eating this thing, it is dry and hard, like grains of sand, but considering that it can be stored for a long time, we still want to collect more, and later, we buried all the wandering hunter's millet in the ground, like wild fruit tree seeds......"

"It's a pity,...... The seeds germinated, but they did not grow, and soon they all died, and I have heard that this thing is only found outside the mountains, and it does not grow much in the mountains......"

Tomato said a lot in one breath, and it was clear that this millet reminded him of things when he was a child.

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, he understood what he said, and he also knew that millet would definitely not be successfully planted in the mountains, you must know that the growth of millet requires a lot of light time, and in the mountains with high trees and dense forests, sunlight can rarely penetrate in, so if you want to grow millet, you must leave the mountains.

Leaving the mountain, this was originally something that Lin Yuan had considered, and today, with this harvest, he could have a more sufficient reason to carry out his plan.

Only by boldly changing the status quo can we become strong!
