Chapter 10: Harvest and Tribal Fairs

The next morning, when the sky was slightly bright, the hunting party of the tribe began to assemble, autumn is the season of harvesting, not only for people, but also for the beasts and animals of the jungle, and it will be equally difficult for them to survive winter if they do not take advantage of the winter to accumulate more food. But resources are limited, and every creature in the jungle will fight for food, which also makes the hunting party bring less and less food, so every day when the sky is light, the hunting party sets out early, hoping to go further to harvest more food for their families and tribes to survive the winter.

Today's hunting team is divided into three squads, each squad is exactly 8 people, they are the majority of the labor force in the tribe, there are more than 20 households in the tribe, the tribe has less than 200 people, and the average is almost one person from each household to participate in the hunt. The three of them will be led by Bai Lifu, Risso, and Bhutto to go hunting in three different places.

The autumn sun gradually rises overhead, and the foliage shines on the ground through the layers of leaves. Pelif took the lead in walking at the front of the team, the clansmen behind were armed with spears and bows and arrows, looking around vigilantly, their weapons were very rudimentary, a wooden stick was tied in front of a spear composed of a sharp iron head and a homemade hardwood bow and arrow, which was their combat partner, there were no tribesmen in the tribe who could smelt metal, and these rough spearheads were also exchanged for other tribes with slowly accumulated food, which was also the arrangement of nature, giving the orcs a strong body but not giving them the wisdom to create infinitely, so they lived on this continent for so many years but still lived a backward tribal life。

Waving his hand to signal the people behind him to stop and rest, Bai Lifu found an open space to sit on the ground, and took out a boiled "Beast Ignorance" from the cloth bag he carried with him They took a big bite and gnawed it, and the others also took out their own food to eat, they have arrived at today's hunting area, this area is not the place with the most resources, but it takes strength to go to that kind of resource-rich place, a white-clothed priest can make their strength skyrocket nearly twice in an instant, so that they can at least advance dozens of miles to get more food, if there is a bronze priest, a group of them even dare to attack the demon bear, a bronze priest's strength and defense increase on them is enough for them to challenge the existence of the best in the jungle。 And after killing the adult demon bear, there is a chance to obtain their beast pill, that kind of thing can make an ordinary orc directly promoted to a precious treasure of the wrestler, if you go to exchange with other tribes, you can at least get the food equivalent to a year of the tribe, those big tribes are not short of food, what they lack is only strong muscles and territory.

After eating the food in his hand in three or two bites, Bai Liya took out the revolver and fiddled with it, he already understood the advantages and disadvantages of the pistol as a weapon, small and flexible is its advantage, which is incomparable to the archer, in the dense jungle the bow and arrow can play a limited role, and at close range there is no pistol This weapon is more useful. However, the downside is that its power is limited, and the power of pistol bullets is comparable to that of a bow and arrow shot by ordinary orcs, which is not enough for them to challenge some ferocious beasts, after all, prey will not foolishly let such things attack their weak spots, and their teeth and claws are not ornaments.

It is not permissible for them to risk their lives for the sake of their prey, and the life of a people is insignificant compared to that of a prey. Living in this dangerous land all year round makes them cherish their lives more than anyone else, and only by living can there be hope.

"Boss, let me touch it," an orc next to him looked at the pistol in Berry's hand with a wistful expression.

"Go, go~ This thing is so precious that you can touch it, what should I do," Bai Lifu refused.

"It's so stingy~" The orc looked disdainful.

"Head~ look, a robe is looking at us!" suddenly an orc shouted.

A group of orcs looked in the direction of the orc's finger, and sure enough, an adult robed man was grazing in the distance, watching them. It is not afraid of this group of uninvited guests, it knows that the only thing that this group of orcs can attack it is the bow and arrow, and it is absolutely confident that it will run far away the moment it sees the other party draw the bow, and this group of stupid stupid big men in the jungle will not be able to outrun itself.

The Berry couple also knew that as long as they had taken out their bows and arrows, this guy would definitely run away, and they couldn't catch up with it, so they would often encounter this delicious prey in the jungle, but they were helpless, unless they attacked secretly, otherwise there would be no battle in a situation where both sides were looking at each other.

"Huh, what is that stupid big man doing with his finger?" The robed gentleman in the distance saw Bai Lifu pointing at himself, and he didn't know what the other party wanted to do for a while.

"Smack!" A shot rang out in the jungle, and a flock of birds flew into the air

"What's the situation?" the robe, who had never heard a gunshot, was stupid on the spot, looking at Bai Lifu with stunned eyes.

"Papapapa" was a few explosions in a row, and the robe, who felt the pain and the passage of life, finally stopped being stupid and was ready to run away, but it was too late, he turned around and collapsed to the ground without taking a few steps, his eyes were full of stupidity, and his body twitched twice and finally freed.

"Hahaha, this roe deer was so scared that it didn't hit the first shot, but it was still killed," Berry cheered happily to his teammates with his pistol

An orc quickly lifted the robe back, and when it was thrown on the ground, everyone found that the robe had three single holes on the front chest and neck, and it was still oozing blood, and it seemed that it would not survive. Then it was tied with grass and vines, and its limbs were tied behind an orc, and everyone continued to set off, and with a good start, everyone believed that today's hunt would be fruitful...

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the tribe, as if a layer of golden sand had been put on the tribe's wooden houses, a group of women and children waited in front of the tribe for the return of their families, and Luya also stood in the crowd looking forward to the return of the hunting party, he did not have too much expectation from his opponents, after all, this old revolver was limited in power, but he still hoped that the team would bring back more prey.

"I'm back~" I don't know who shouted, and then everyone saw a team coming in the distance.

This team was the hunting party led by Berry, and it was found that several members of the team had brought back prey, and one of them was carrying a spor on his back.

"We're back, we've had a good harvest today, and every family will be able to eat meat in the evening, hahaha," Berry said as he walked in to the waiting clansmen

"Why are there so many prey today?" asked someone worriedly.

"Everyone is fine, the main thing today is that the weapons that Ruya gave us are so good that most of the prey that we couldn't catch up with before were killed by pistols," Berry explained to everyone.

"The others are back," another shouted.

In the distance, Risso and Bhutto's team also returned, and they also had a good day. Hearing them explain that the reason why they were able to harvest so much prey today was because of the pistol, everyone looked at Ruya in the crowd with more and more respect.

After dinner, Lu Ya exchanged the role of the pistol on the hunt with the three of Bai Lifu in the old patriarch's house, and the three of Bai Lifu all said that after having a pistol, they used to see that they could not catch up, or the prey that was not shot by the bow and arrow were all drunk under the pistol, and they did not have great hope for the pistol at first, but everyone did not expect that the effect was surprisingly good, but Lu Ya also said that this has a lot to do with the fact that the animals in the forest have never seen the pistol as a weapon, maybe after a long time, the role of the pistol is not so great, and today it consumed nearly 70 rounds of ammunition a day, although it has something to do with the first use, but it will be beyond its means in a few daysThe three of them also knew that ammunition was limited, and they all said that they would no longer shoot indiscriminately every day in the future.

For the next half month, the hunting party brought back a considerable amount of game every day, which also immersed the whole village in the joy of harvesting, and it had been a long time since the tribe had seen such a day of seeing meat every day. On this day, Luya accidentally found a gray-yellow crystal used by an orc aunt to wash clothes, and after looking at it for a long time, he determined that this was a natural alkali block, and after inquiring and learning that this thing was in a small basin not far from the tribe, he ran all over the tribe and informed each tribe to tell them to pay attention to leaving all the animal fat he was useful, and the tribesmen also agreed to come down. Xiong Da and Xiong Er helped Lu Ya collect all the grease in the homes of various tribesmen every day and put it in a stone pot outside Lu Ya's house, and under Lu Ya's command, he built a small stove outside the tribe, and Xiong Er was responsible for burning some stones in it every day.

On this day, Lu Ya, who was sorting out ammunition during the cultivation period, was told by the old patriarch that there would be a large bazaar organized by various tribes nearby before winter in half a month, and that in previous years, the tribe had only exchanged some animal skins for simple living tools and some food. This year, in the tribe in just half a month, the tribe harvested more furs and food than usual for half a year, and there was also a demon bear skin, this thing is of no use in the tribe, it is necessary to exchange it for some various living materials that the tribe urgently needs, he has reason to believe that with Luya's pistol and these fur tribes will be able to live a winter without hunger this year. The old patriarch hopes that Lu Ya can be responsible for leading the team this year, and by the way, he will be familiar with the surrounding tribes and environment, which can be regarded as a training for him.

"Finally able to meet people outside! Tribal market?
