Chapter Ninety-Seven: Cannibalism
"What old friend?" The dragon spirit asked blankly.
"Longzi has just arrived, and there are some things you may not know yet."
Shi Pan smiled at him, and said with an angry face: "Those people have fought with me for hundreds of years, and they can be called old friends. ”
"Oh?" Long Jingqi said: "It's the first time I've heard about this, can the Great Elder elaborate on it." ”
"Hmm." Shi Pan nodded and explained, "Those people are not actually human......
In this age of savagery, there are some human beings, who have an extremely low level of civilization, have no morality to speak of, eat flesh and blood, chew their own kind, and are more cruel than wild beasts.
Because they prey on humans from other communities as prey, high-level civilizations like the Ryuzawa tribe call them 'cannibals'.
Cannibalism is no different from that of wild beasts.
They have been in a state of uncivilized existence for a long time, and they are increasingly different from civilized tribes in terms of intelligence and personality, and they are almost another kind of creature.
They are extremely ferocious, completely unable to communicate with civilized humans, often slaughtering and preying on humans, and are the most hated enemies of civilized tribes.
At this time, there were cannibals everywhere on the earth, roaming around like wolves, and the dense jungle was the most widespread place.
I don't know how many cannibals live in the jungle, and there are many people living in the Hidden Dragon Valley, and after the ancestors of the Longze tribe came here, they fought with these humanoid beasts for many years, and finally drove them away.
Originally, there were thousands of cannibals in the Hidden Dragon Valley, and the number of people was more than ten times that of the Longze Tribe, and if they could unite with the outside world, a group of refugees from civilized tribes would not be their opponents at all.
However, they were scattered into countless small groups, each of them using each other as food, attacking and killing each other, and they could not work together against the newly arrived civilized tribes.
In the face of the well-organized, well-armed, and high-morale warriors of the Ryuze Tribe, these scattered and brainless barbarians were vulnerable to a single blow, and they were broken one by one and wiped out one by one.
After nearly a hundred years of purging, cannibalism has disappeared in the Valley of the Hidden Dragon. There may be some hidden, but there is absolutely no large community, and within thirty miles of the village of Longzebu, there will not be a single cannibal.
Because it had been nearly three generations since they heard of the cannibal life, everyone had almost forgotten about it, and the dragon spirit had not heard of it from other people.
In the final analysis, no matter how ferocious the cannibals are, their overall strength cannot be compared with the civilized tribes, and it is as easy for the civilized tribes to kill them as it is to hunt wild beasts, and the Longze people don't take them to heart at all.
Therefore, when the elders heard that another cannibal had touched the vicinity of the Hidden Dragon Valley, they were all eager to try and want to take this weak chicken to the knife. So it was unanimously agreed to send troops to kill all the barbarians.
"Is there really no possibility of subduing them at all? We can accept both the Savage and the Rumor, so why can't we contain them? "The dragon spirit doesn't believe that since it's a human, it should be able to communicate.
Shi Pan shook his head firmly and said, "This is not the difference between humans and aliens, it is the opposition between good and evil. We can accept any good tribe and alien race, but we will never accept an evil race, even if they are human. ”
The Great Wizard also advised: "Dragon, we all know that you are kind, but you must not be merciful to evil things. ”
"You have to remember that cannibals are not humans, they are demons in human skin. Their souls have been polluted by evil, and their hearts have fallen into the abyss, which they cannot be subdued! ”
“…… All right. "There are too many strange things in this world, and the dragon spirit knows that he knows too little, so it's better to accept other people's opinions with an open mind.
"Guests from afar, we are very happy that you trust me as a friend."
Shi Pan politely bowed down to Bakabaka and said solemnly, "We have discussed it and decided to send our best warriors to help you. ”
"Really? Great, allow me to pay tribute to you. Baka Baka cheered, rolled over, and danced in front of the crowd with the strength of his wine.
He danced and sang loudly, his ass pouting high, and he twisted in front of several humans, and the elders who watched were embarrassed.
……
The conscription order was issued again, and a small part of the village was left to guard the village, and all the others were to go on the march.
This is already the second large-scale recruitment of young people after Zhujie Mountain. The Longze Department has been quiet for decades, but during this time, large armies have been frequently dispatched, and the villagers are a little nervous, and the whole village has put down what they are doing and is preparing for the expedition of the young and strong.
Hunters who were not badly injured in the last battle have almost all recovered and are ready to fight. The injuries of Wuzhi and Chongmeng are just right, and their bodies have not fully recovered, so they also took the initiative to ask to play.
Among the five elders, Wu Zhi Peng and Pig Bone have broken bones, they are old, their wounds have not healed, and they can no longer set off with the army, and Nu Luo will not participate in the war if she is a woman. So it was decided that Shi Pan and Long Jing would lead the army to set off, and Gougong would sit in the village.
This time, the great wizard will also accompany him, first, to be a translator, and second, to cooperate with the Rumor Wizard to exorcise the dragon spirit, he has to go.
The powerful combat power of the hairy savages naturally needs to be used, but their injuries are generally much more serious than those of humans, and most of the injuries are not healed.
The fierce black-haired leader barely survived, sick, and had difficulty walking, and the gray-haired Wuzhi Qi was alive, but the wound on his chest was not completely healed.
Long Jing carefully checked it, and finally only picked ten adult savages in good physical condition, and Wu Zhiqi insisted on going, so he had to agree.
Just a few days ago, the dragon spirit ordered people to make armor, and more than a dozen pairs of armor and dozens of small round shields have been made, and the armor of the big wild boar is almost the same.
Ten hairy savages were enough, and the dragon spirit ordered to stop making armor and make all efforts to weave small round shields, striving to have vine shields for all hunters before the army set off.
"I knew that I would equip the hunters with armor, even if I didn't have to put it there for a while, I might use it when I could."
This time the battlefield was in a sparsely wooded swamp, and the armor and shield came into play, and the dragon spirit regretted that he had listened to the words of the natives and did not make armor for humans.
The battle went to the depths of the swamp and lasted for a long time, and the logistical supply could not be ignored.
Although Bakabaka patted his chest and said that the Ministry of Rumors could provide enough supplies for the reinforcements, the human race was not at ease, weapons, medicines, tools, daily necessities, and food were ...... All kinds of supplies are piled up.
The barbecue invented by the dragon spirit finally came in handy at this time, and the villagers really realized the importance of this invention.
If it had been before, the food problem alone would have made the expedition an arduous trek.
Not only is the amount of food carried, but it also spoils, and the food on the road is not enough for large groups of people to eat. You have to spread out in search of food, which is not only slow, but also many dangers.
Now that they have a barbecue, this problem is easily solved. This kind of food is abundant, delicious, not spoiled, hungry, and easy to carry, if there is anything urgent, it is really convenient.
After two days of preparation, a team of 400 people sat in small bamboo rows, led by Bakabaka, and drove along the waterway to the Swamp.
