Chapter 285: Gathering
Zhao Ze and Xiao Dongzi were naturally forced by Ziyin to learn some tribal dialects when they had nothing to do, in order to deal with this kind of thing in the war, Zhao Ze was still very reluctant at first, but under Ziyin's mandatory requirements, Zhao Ze had no choice, so he naturally learned some, but the language of this tribe is similar to that of the inland people, all of them belong to the hieroglyphic civilization, but there is a difference in writing and name, in fact, the ancient ancestors of this tribe and the inland people belong to the same lineage, but they have mixed blood and some cultures with the people of the underground civilization。
The general script is almost the same, of course, there is also a point that these tribesmen are too little literate, and even the chiefs sometimes do not know how to read, much lower than the inland people, so as long as you learn their local pronunciation, there is no problem.
This also proves from the side the reason why their civilization is slower than that of inland people, because they have never paid attention to the development of culture, from birth to adulthood, the basic learning is survival skills, and the teaching of future generations is also based on experience, and rarely record these lessons or organize the systematic knowledge system, of course, the reason why they don't do this is that their literacy rate is very low, so there is no way to do this.
So when Zhao Ze and Xiao Dongzi entered the stronghold in disguise, there was naturally a lot of interrogation process, such as the clan of birth, age, name, and other information had to be checked, but unfortunately most of them were verbal interrogations, as long as you had a secret password and token, you could enter the stronghold.
Of course, the tribes are naturally not stupid, because they have tattoos such as "anti-counterfeiting marks", so they are not afraid of inland people disguising them at all.
Zhao Ze was whipped a few times by the leader of the squad when he was a little slower to help things, but fortunately, he had cultivated the number of body refinements, so the problem was not particularly big.
Xiao Dongzi was about to get angry, but he was scolded back by Zhao Ze's look, now is not a good time to be loyal to the Lord.
They were able to get in like this thanks to Ziyin's secret technique of suppressing the realm, this secret technique is really easy to use, and now Zhao Ze seems to be just a second-vein martial artist, so he was asked to do chores.
It didn't take long for a leader to come up and say, "After you have moved these boxes, go to the nearby mountains and forests to pick wild fruits, as much as possible, and whoever picks will have more dinner for you." ”
Of course, Zhao Ze and Xiao Dongzi knew that the opportunity had come, so they followed a large group of people.
This is also one of the most useful news that Wu Ying and Zhao Ze have detected, although it is now a war time stronghold, there is a reserve of food, but because the reserve technology of the tribesmen is not particularly developed, the general reserve is dried meat, dried fruits, some herbs and other things, these can be stored for a long time, as long as they are damp.
The white ape doesn't eat it, it has to eat fresh, so it can only send a large number of people out to pick and hunt, and offer this white ape king like an ancestor, for fear that it will not eat well, eat unhappily and kill people, because it has happened many times before, so it can only do this.
This matter is naturally fueled by Ye Xin in the back, without her communicating with the White Ape King, these god insect tribes still don't know how to serve the White Ape King.
So now everything in the White Ape King is done according to Ye Xin's instructions.
These days, the White Ape King has stopped, and the speed of his advancement is much faster than before.
Although it is no longer dead, it still suffers some people, and for its great appetite, it naturally mobilizes a lot of coolies to help, and Zhao Ze and they seized this opportunity.
This kind of mountain forest that has not been polluted and cut down by people is naturally all treasures.
Zhao Ze and Xiao Dongzi walked casually and found a few fruit trees with sweet and sour fruits, which were full of fruits, many of which had fallen to the ground and become food for other animals.
But naturally, there were many people following them, and one of the squad leaders followed behind Zhao Ze like a dog skin plaster, and I don't know why this person seems to have a special hobby for whipping coolies, and he was excited to see that Zhao Ze was a freshman.
Xiao Dongzi also wanted to kill him, but was stopped by Zhao Ze.
This person's urging voice sounded in Zhao Ze's ears again, and Zhao Ze and Xiao Dongzi could only climb the fruit tree to pick those sweet and sour fruits.
The tribesmen still provided them with baskets, and each of them carried one on his back, and when the harvest was finished, he could go back to the errand.
Of course, the more baskets you pick, the more you will have to eat at night, so many coolies are fighting to be able to eat meat.
Zhao Ze and Xiao Dongzi didn't care about this, their task now was how to get this poison into the fruit.
Of course, on the way here, Zhao Ze had already figured out a way, he had asked Xiao Dongzi to create something similar to a needle, which was also drawn when he was idle and had nothing to do, and naturally he also drew the quill, let Xiao Dongzi look at those paintings and try to make some to play.
Especially the quill Zhao Ze is mandatory many times, I didn't expect Xiao Dongzi to really make these things, because he was idle and had nothing to do, so he wanted to tinker with these strange things, of course, the requirements of the needle tube were not very up to standard, very rough and very large, and it was not very convenient to carry, Zhao Ze asked Xiao Dongzi to rectify it.
Zhao Ze also told him that this thing can inject poison into people, and it can also test the medicinal properties of poison without eating it with your mouth.
This stimulated Xiao Dongzi's enthusiasm for work, and as long as Xiao Dongzi barely made this needle almost usable in the days when the war began.
What I didn't expect was that it came in handy so quickly.
Now Xiao Dongzi happened to be using this needle to inject poison into those sweet and sour fruits, of course, this was done without being found on the tree.
And Zhao Ze is now very hard to attract firepower to Xiao Dongzi, because the leader has been staring at him, and even he refuses to give up when he goes up the tree, fortunately, Zhao Ze is on the tree, and his whip is not easy to whip Zhao Ze, but he still does not give up.
In this way, no one cared about Xiao Dongzi's poisoning, and soon he used up the poison in his hand.
Half of the basket of fruits is poisonous, and now it's up to Zhao Ze's.
It's a pity that the leader just didn't give Zhao Ze a little time.
The two had no choice but to move on and look for opportunities.
......
Ziyin and Hesta worked in the herb room, and they were all used to prepare wound medicine, but there were also a large number of wounded, most of whom were injured by the White Ape King rather than the inlanders.
Many people have been crippled, and it is already good to be able to save their lives temporarily, and it is also obvious why the Worm tribe left the lives of these warriors, because many warriors still have the final step in the parasite link, so these people also have hope of survival.
Because the Worm Tribe is going to get them all back on their feet, it's a miracle he's seen with his own eyes.
And Ziyin's job is naturally to take care of these wounded people, and change their dressings at any time.
Of course, Ziyin also wanted to see how the parasites in these people were, and she also gave them a certain examination when taking care of them.
After the inspection, Ziyin was also surprised to find that many soldiers with broken hands and feet, their wounded places did produce some flesh buds, it should be reborn limbs, this kind of thing is really very weird to happen to people.
It seems that the research results of this god insect tribe are still very rich, and the parasites in the bodies of these warriors are not completely there to suck the energy and essence blood of their bodies.
Of course, if their bodies are complete, it also means that the bodies of these bugs will be complete in the future, which is a very fair thing.
Ziyin naturally won't keep these fighters, and she can get rid of some of them, so she also took the opportunity to concoct a poison, which only targets the insects in the bodies of these warriors, which will make these insects temporarily enter a state of hibernation, and there is no way to absorb the energy of these warriors.
The advantage of this is that they can be difficult to detect, and even if they leak later, it will be many days later.
After the concoction was completed, she mixed all these medicines into the wound medicine of these warriors, and gave them to take or apply it externally.
Prompted by their beauty, these warriors took all the pills without any doubt.
At the beginning of this time, it was Wu Ying, because no one in this stronghold could notice his presence, and he almost fell asleep in the leader's tent.
However, he still has some gains, that is, he has read a lot of letters, and he has already learned the knowledge of the tribesmen when he was a child, which is also the work of his three adoptive fathers, because he was afraid that the sect would not want him, so he let him learn some of the knowledge of the tribesmen, so that he could be a soldier in Yunshi City, but he didn't expect this to be the result.
The main letters here are naturally some instructions that have been conveyed from above, so he basically reads every letter so as not to omit them.
The instructions issued by the western command post are not bad at all as estimated by Zhao Ze, and it seems that there are still powerful people in this command post.
At least for now, it's causing them trouble.
The time of the attack on Marble City is naturally also in these letters.
Naturally, he wanted those flying insects to start attacking Yunshi City after they hatched, which was the same as Zhao Ze's estimate.
One of the most important letters mentions the whereabouts of the Shadow Worm tribe.
The letter stated that they had been found in the mountains and forests to the west, and that some of their transport team had been intercepted and killed.
The time of discovery was only 1 day ago, and now the whereabouts of those people are unknown, there are about 10 people, but each of them is very strong, and I hope that each stronghold will step up its defense, so as not to give these rebels a chance.
This news is very important, so naturally I have to inform Zhao Ze that I know.
Of course, he had checked the rest of the letters, but none of them were of much importance.
Then he got up and left, the stronghold was so busy that the leader was not even in the tent.
After he got out of the tent, he went to look for Zhao Ze and the others as soon as possible, but unfortunately he didn't find them, because Zhao Ze and Xiao Dongzi were still collecting sweet and sour fruits outside.
Wu Ying had no choice but to look for Ziyin and them first.
When he found Ziyin and told them about it, Ziyin was also very happy, at least they had a way to contact these rebels.
......
At this time, outside the stronghold, Zhao Ze and Xiao Dongzi had already picked enough fruits, and on the way back, the poisoning was done by Xiao Dongzi, and Zhao Ze had no space to do this, because the team leader had been following them, but fortunately, the team leader had left for a while on the way, so Zhao Ze gave the poison to Xiao Dongzi and he continued to do the following things.
Xiao Dongzi naturally arranged the poison very easily and easily.
In the end, they went back together, and no one monitored the sweet and sour fruits for picking, so they could act separately, because the mountains and forests were very large and they didn't know where there would be fruits, so they could only do this.
But when it comes back, it's time to go through the strictest checks.
When Zhao Ze and the others returned to the stronghold, there was already a long queue at the door, and they were all coolies who were collecting fruits.
At the beginning, the inspection was naturally carried out by a team leader, and the first thing was for him to pick out a fruit from the basket at random for the picker to take, but fortunately, Zhao Ze's they had already taken precautions, because the palace was first inspected by the chef for a poison, followed by the personal eunuch, this matter Xiao Dongzi was very familiar with, so he had already asked Ziyin to prepare an antidote for them, and he had already taken it on the way here.
So the first level was very easy for them.
After that, it's the second level, this level checks the quality of the fruit, Zhao Ze was a little confused, and complained in his heart that this white ape king is also a picky eater, right?
But he knew what was going on when he saw the clever tricks of the coolies in front of him, for none of them were picking, but picking up the kind of fruit that had rotted on the ground, so that he could eat a bite of meat at night.
Humans are animals that want to be clever at all times, and this is also one of the human nature.
Sure enough, these coolies were taken down, and I don't know what their fate will be, but it must not end very well.
After that, I went to Zhao Ze to check, because Zhao Ze's fruit was originally normal, and everything passed quickly.
The third step is the doctor's examination, and I don't know what method he uses to examine so many fruits.
It is not possible to check every fruit, which is too time-consuming.
When Zhao Ze saw these doctors controlling some insects to check, he knew that it was not so simple.
The insects of the fruit examined are some flower butterflies, they are very fond of poisonous things, as long as poisonous things will fly on the poison, and it is naturally the instinct of these butterflies to check for poison.
It's a pity that Ziyin's poison is not so easy to recognize, because Ziyin is too familiar with this kind of butterfly, and their family has bred a lot since she was a child.
When she grew up, she also studied this insect many times, and also found a lot of weaknesses in it, and the poison she prepared this time was based on the weaknesses of these butterflies.
