Chapter 41: Gnawing the Jungle Trees in One Night
Trees are far more resistant to frost than humans, and the older the trees, the more they can withstand the cold.
This is due to the cork layer of the tree, when the tree grows to a certain age, the cork layer formed by it will be unusually thick, isolating the backbone itself from the outside temperature, and maintaining the activity of the tree.
In the jungle of the Ox Tribe Ruins, there are many such old trees, their branches and leaves have fallen off, but the trunks still maintain a certain degree of activity.
"We sheltered from the cold winter here, leaving the old and weak inside, and the warriors stationed outside. ”
Six generations of leaders patrolled the territory, commanded those behind him, and pushed the ruins of a mixture of dirt and rock with his hands.
"Boom ......"
As he pushed, the ruins collapsed.
"It's all pushed down, don't hurt the child. ”
The six generations of witches clapped their hands and commanded.
In this era, there is no such concept as archaeology or the protection of cultural relics, and everything that may be dangerous should be eliminated as soon as possible, which is the survival law of the tribe.
"Let the warriors of the wolf tribe move, probe around, and don't beat the enemy to the door, you don't know who the enemy is. ”
And he commanded.
As a tribal leader, he has a lot of things to deal with, big and small things, and the tribe of more than 10,000 people has been stationed in a new place, and he is busy.
And the fifth Xuan, who is a totem, doesn't have so many things to deal with, he ran to the place where the cow totem was dug out early, and directly set up a totem fire here, and the rest of the things don't need him.
"This is the place you said was digging up the cow totem?"
The wolf totem looked at the pit on the ground and asked the fifth mystery.
"This is it, I'll look at this later, put the bones away first, and don't let these guys be used as burning sticks. ”
Fifth Xuan said, let Xiao Wang Baman Run, collect all the bones, and pile them up next to the totem fire.
This is the progress of civilization, and in the future, the Fire Tribe will have the opportunity to grow yellow millet, which is a good tool.
When he couldn't find anything of value anymore, the fifth Xuan returned to the side of the pit again.
"What are these four pillars for?"
The wolf totem asked around the four pillars next to the pit.
"I don't know, the altar, the traces on this are the words I said, and in the future, our tribe will also have words. ”
Fifth Xuan looked at the oracle bones on the four broken pillars and said.
The wolf totem leaned closer to the pillar and watched: "Are you sure it's not a scratch?"
"Sure. Fifth Xuan said affirmatively.
The oracle bone inscription is a hieroglyph, basically I draw you guess, draw a blind drawing, guess can only guess, anyway, he doesn't recognize it.
"When are you going to take me to dig up the totem stone of the Ox Tribe?"
Wolf Totem asked.
Since leaving the station and returning to nature, she has become more active than before, and the whole wolf personality is much lighter, maybe this is the habit of wild beasts.
"When the tribe settles down, the nearby terrain, enemies, and where it is suitable for hunting have not yet been explored, and it is not suitable for us to leave at this time. ”
Fifth Xuan said soothingly.
"Didn't you say it's close? ”
Wolf Totem doesn't want to give up.
"It's very close, and I have to wait for the tribe to settle down, not bad for a few days. ”
Having rejected the wolf totem's proposal, Fifth Xuan began to wander the tribe to see where improvements could be made.
After making a circle around the tribe, his gaze finally fell on the vigilant warriors on the periphery.
It was a little far away from the totem fire, and the soldiers were shivering from the north wind, but they had to stick to their posts.
"Ba Your Majesty, look at this tree, it's tall and thick, don't you think it can hide something in it?"
Fifth Xuan said, staring at a stout tree.
"Aang?"
Xiao Wang Ba poked his head out suspiciously, looked at the big tree, and couldn't see anything.
"I've heard, I've just heard, that there's a delicacy that grows in this particularly thick trunk, and you bite into it and try it and see if you can find it. ”
Fifth, Xuan followed the good temptation and seduced Xiao Wang Ba to gnaw away the tree.
This thick trunk has been frozen for several years, and the inside may be frozen, and if the soldiers are allowed to chop it with stone axes, the stone axes will not collapse, and the trunk will be fine.
Xiao Wangba's teeth are different, they are iron teeth and copper teeth that can even be used as totem stones to chew, and it is easy to bite through the trunk of a tree.
Xiao Wang Ba circled around the trunk a few times in confusion, and some didn't quite believe the words of the fifth mystery.
He didn't miss the trunk, but he never found anything delicious, not as good as the roots.
"Ang ......"
Xiao Wang Ba shook his head and expressed disbelief.
"I didn't tell you before, it's because the environment doesn't allow it, this kind of food is only available when it's particularly cold, they hide in the trunk of the tree to keep warm, you don't believe it, forget it, anyway, I'm a totem, I can't eat it, it's not cheap to find out. ”
After the fifth Xuan finished speaking, he smashed his mouth twice, putting on a look of no mouth.
The sound of smashing his mouth these two times made Xiao Wang's mouthfuls flow out, and he couldn't wait to rush towards the big tree.
"It's the other way around, you bite in the north, and as soon as the wind blows, the food runs away, go to the south, and take shelter from the wind there. ”
The fifth Xuan saw that Xiao Wang Ba was going to go down to the north, where could he get his wish, so he hurriedly flickered.
Xiao Wang Ba believed in his evil spirit, turned to the south and gnawed at the trunk, and the fifth Xuan kept commanding.
"Up, a little up, maybe up. ”
"Left, left, I just saw one on the left move. ”
"On the right, you see the right side is so thick, maybe on the right. ”
......
With such a command, a tree hole that could accommodate two warriors to hide in it took shape, but Xiao Wang Ba found nothing.
He looked back at the Fifth Mystery with grievances in his eyes.
"Run, must have run, I just saw a green light, and I ran into that tree. ”
Fifth Xuan said with a pitiful tone.
"Aang?"
Xiao Wang Ba opened his mouth and asked which one he was.
Fifth Xuan immediately pointed to a stout tree, and Xiao Wang Ba's foodie temperament came up, and he pounced on it and gnawed it.
Fifth Xuan naturally will not be idle, all kinds of commands, this time he didn't wait for Xiao Wang Ba to stop, he shouted.
"Ran away, over there. ”
Xiao Wang Ba moved when he heard the sound, and rushed to the direction of the Fifth Xuan's guidance and gnawed again.
On this night, the Fire Tribe's totem stone mount seemed to be crazy, gnawing the tree trunks around the tribe, creating countless tree holes.
So these soldiers who were shivering from the cold had a harbor to hide from the cold wind, and they were grateful to Xiao Wang Ba in their hearts.
Some people feel that gratitude in their hearts is not enough, so they actually go up and kowtow a few times.
Fifth Xuan saw their actions, and his heart was raised, but fortunately, these guys were not strong in their ability to pat on the back, so they only knew kowtow and did not say the reason.
If Xiao Wang Ba knew that the fifth Xuan asked him to gnaw on the tree trunk in order to build a tree hole, it was estimated that he would be able to fight with him.
"Your Majesty, you don't have a mouthful, such a delicious thing...... Alas. ”
Fifth Xuan said to Xiao Wang Ba with a heartache and regret.
Xiao Wang Ba's gaze immediately swept towards the big trees, and his eyes were full of green light.
On this night, he was like a small motor equipped with a perpetual motion machine, contributing countless ...... to the fire tribe Tree holes.
