Volume 2: The Loose World Chapter 128: Retest (30) Tonghai River
After staying in the wood tribe for a full ninety years, Mu Wu is already a hundred years old, and has been in the jungle for many years, and the original soul memory is gradually closed, leaving only the vast knowledge like the sea, and the way is unknown.
I even forgot my name, but I remember that when I was not a witch, the old leader seemed to call him "fire", speaking of which, the old leader had also been dead for fifty years, and he had been in the tribe for so long, and suddenly wanted to go out for a walk.
Then let's go out for a walk! Mu Wuhuo thought so, just looking for a suitable mount, so he left the tribe with the people, the east of the wood tribe is the sea, the west is the vine tribe, and then the west is the forest tribe.
To the north was the mountain tribe, so he went to the south, and just when the wood tribe was developing, he often traded with the river tribe in the south for their horns, which were big and curved, bigger than the tribe's cultivated horns.
The quality of the horns of the River tribe is very high, but at that time, the tribe's materials were limited and did not exert their due power, so they were wasted by him in vain, and they were made into several batches of weak bows, which can only be used as toys for today's children.
Just by looking at the horns, you can imagine that the cow is stronger than the bison domesticated by the tribe, and if you can find such a big cow and use the phantom fruit to domesticate and domesticate, you can also do. Improved Tribe's Ox Cavalry.
As for the old friend River Tribe, I am afraid that it has been dead for a long time, the Wood tribe has been trapped on the edge of the Fire Tribe for thirty years, and it is normal for the River tribe to be broken, and they have not been seen at the trade fairs over the years.
The team set out from the fire division, walked three hundred miles south, and finally left the territory of the tribe, and in the dense jungle, advanced another hundred miles, and the trees gradually thinned until they left the jungle completely.
The dense towering trees disappeared, and there was no longer any obstruction in sight, and in front of him was a huge river beach, an incomparably wide river, at least three or four miles wide, stretching from the source of the sight.
Along the edge of the jungle, leading to the end of the distance, the distance is low, you can see a blue coastline, the rushing river water into the ocean, faintly see a few long-necked dinosaurs stopping at the mouth of the sea.
Just on the opposite side of the distant river beach, you can see a huge herd of mammoths, frolicking in the shallows, with long snouts, pointed fangs, and small mountains, which deeply awesome many warriors of the tribe.
And on the shallows here, more than a dozen crocodiles several feet long, dressed in hideous leather armor and with large mouths full of fangs, lazily basking in the sun on the beach, the young ones are not as wide as a zhang, and the old ones are six or seven zhang long.
Farther away, you can see herds of elk and buffalo, drinking river water by the river, the one in front was bitten by a crocodile and began to die and roll, but the one behind went up again, continuing to drink the blood-colored river water, not in a hurry.
There are also big fish jumping out of the water, swallowing a big deer in one bite, the river is still not knowing the depth, and there are fierce beasts watching in it, the tribal warriors are like facing a great enemy, clenching the weapons in their hands, not daring to cross the river rashly.
Listening to the wisdom of the wood witch, the tree at the edge of the river beach broke through the soil one by one, "walked" to the side with its roots, and lay down one by one, floating on the surface of the river, ready to build a wooden bridge.
Unexpectedly, the big tree trembled violently, and the dense school of fish rushed out of the river, and the sharp teeth tore it, and soon dismembered the big tree, and some tentacles stretched out, wrapped the big tree, and dragged it to the bottom of the river.
The warriors' faces became even more ugly, and they were about to go into the water to kill the beast with a bronze axe weighing a thousand pounds, but the Wood Witch stopped him, and rode the jungle wolf around the river beach to see if there was any other way.
A few crocodiles, who were blind, wanted to attack the team, but were killed by the warriors, dragged the corpse and continued to hurry, and soon, everyone found traces of fire, quickened their pace, and found people again.
In the low bushes by the river, there is a large cave with great shade, hidden by the branches and grass of the surrounding trees, and when the wood tribe arrived, they happened to see several old people, pregnant women, and children basking in the sun.
It was in the morning, the hunting team and gathering team of the tribe should have just gone out to hunt, only the old and weak stayed in the tribe, and when they saw the warriors of the wood tribe, they were so frightened that they hurriedly ran back to the cave, pushed the stones, and refused to come out.
The Wood Witch beckoned the warriors, rested on the spot, took out the utensils he carried, handled a few crocodiles, prepared to make a fire to cook, and deliberately explained that the crocodile skin was a good thing, and it could make a few pairs of durable leather boots.
The barbecue meat was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the broth was delicious and soft, the team was full of food and drink, rested for a while, and began to investigate the surrounding situation, while Mu Wu took out a booklet to record the half-day itinerary and mark the tribes found here.
At dusk, the tribe's hunting party returned first, singing from the far side of the river, with a smile on their faces, and it seemed that the harvest was obviously good, but when they approached the tribe, they found that there were many more people outside the tribe.
His face turned pale in an instant, but before he could react, he was taken down by the warriors who were in ambush, and then the gathering team also returned from the forest, and was also taken down by the people of the wood tribe, and when they saw the hunting team, they gave up struggling.
And when they saw that their hunting and gathering teams were all caught by these unknown people, the people in the cave could no longer sit still, and they rushed out with the stones, and the old people and children all held their weapons and let out strange cries of intimidation.
The hunting team of seventy people, the gathering team of ninety people, plus the old and weak in the cave, a total of about 300 people, and only more than 60 warriors, which is not enough for the wood tribe to open the knife.
"Are you the River Tribe?" Wood Witch ignored it, picking up the worn-out basket containing food from the gathering team, as well as a few decent imitations, and suddenly asked in a loud voice.
An old man, who seemed to be the leader, tentatively used a slightly unfamiliar tribal dialect and asked, "Who are you?"
"We are the Mu Tribe!" Mu Wu smiled, he didn't expect to meet an old acquaintance.
"Wood tribe?" the old man thought for a moment, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it: "Are you a wood tribe?"
"I'm also curious, why are you all right, the Fire Tribe didn't trouble you?" asked the Wood Witch.
"No!" the old man shook his head: "We are from the Tan tribe, and the Fire tribe did not dare to make a move, so they only killed our trading team, and we did not trade with them again." ”
"What kind of tribe is the Tan tribe?" Mu Wu wondered.
"The Tan tribe is the Tan tribe!" replied the old man, and then asked, "What is the matter with you? How did you come here? Didn't the Fire Tribe deal with you?"
"The Fire Tribe is gone! only the Wood Tribe!" said the Wood Witch with his head held high.
"What, how come the Fire Tribe doesn't have one?" the old man's face was full of incredulity.
"Wood tribe! we will destroy it!" the wood witch said in a deep voice, and the warriors raised their weapons and cheered, "Whew!"
The people of the River tribe did not cheer, but their faces were full of fear, and they thought of a certain possibility, and trembled with fright, and the old man said in horror: "Then you come here......
"We're going to cross the river and go to the other side!" Wood Witch pointed to the other side of the river, and the river tribe was relieved, and then heard him ask, "Do you know how to cross the other side of the river?"
The old man shook his head and replied, "We don't know, but the Tan tribe should know." ”
"Can you take us to the Tan Tribe?"
"This ......," the old man hesitated.
"Take us there, we'll give you five big fish!" Wood Witch pointed to the crocodile skin next to the firepit, and continued, "You can go to the Wood Tribe to trade in the future, and we will still collect the horns of the big ox." ”
A big fish two feet long has nearly 1,000 catties of meat, and five heads are 5,000 catties, which is enough for the entire river tribe to eat food for five days, the old man couldn't resist the temptation, and nodded: "Okay!"
The next day, the two hundred warriors of the Wood tribe hunted five thousand-pound crocodiles as promised, and the River tribe also selected twenty warriors with sharp legs and feet, and led them to the Tan tribe.
......
Ten days later, everyone reached the beach tribe, the river beach was much faster than in the jungle, there were no trees and vines to cover it, and the warrior could travel fifty miles a day, and even then, he walked a full ten days, a distance of five hundred miles!
No wonder the River Tribe would rather go to the Fire Tribe than come to the Tan Tribe to trade, only after offending the Fire Tribe will they come to the Tan Tribe to trade, a small stream flows into the big river, and the Tan Tribe is at the confluence.
The Tan tribe lives in thatched huts, there are a large number of bamboo rafts moored on the beach, the population is more than two thousand, and there are more than six hundred warriors, and the two ability warriors control a radius of six hundred miles, which is indeed stronger than the fire tribe.
Before they could get closer, the Tan tribe was immediately alert and sent a warrior to intercept it, but there was no way, the mutual induction of the alien warriors was too strong, and when the Xuan was still far away, it was detected by the opponent's alien warriors.
"Who are you? This is the territory of the Tan Tribe, and the unrelated people leave quickly!" the Tan Tribe's Strange Warriors, dressed in cool fish skins, shouted at Yu and Mu Wu.
The strength of the alien warriors is too strong, and breaking into other people's territory is like the invasion of alien beasts into themselves, which is a great threat, and they cannot be left unguarded.
"Under the command of the Lin Hou Division, the Wood Tribe Witch, visit the Tan Tribe, please allow me to send a gift!" the Wood Witch said in a loud voice, and a weaker warrior, holding the exquisite new pottery, handed it to the Tan tribe opposite.
Seeing this oily and slippery pottery, the eyes of everyone in the Tan tribe shone brightly, and the Tan Wu accepted the pottery, his face looked much better, and he replied loudly: "Under the command of the Rain Weather Department, the Tan tribe Wu! Thank you for the gift of Mu Wu!"
Since they had received the gifts, they agreed to shake hands and make peace, and both sides put away their weapons, and the Tan Wu and the Tan Leader welcomed the Mu Wu and the Wood Witch into the tribe, and some of the tribesmen brought sweet and melon fruits, as well as freshly roasted animal meat and fish.
After eating fruit and meat, the simple etiquette of the tribesmen is completely over, and they can talk about business, Tan Wu asked straight to the point: "I don't know what the Mu Wu is visiting for?"
"My people and I want to cross the big river, there are a lot of fierce beasts in the river, I heard the people of the river tribe say, you may have a way, I hope the beach tribe can help!" Mu Wu said directly.
"The Tan tribe can indeed cross the big river, but the forest Hou tribe occupies the jungle, and the wood tribe is in the jungle, why do you want to cross the big river, where are you going?"
"It's just that I've been in the jungle for too long, and I want to go out for a walk! Mu Wu replied like this, and what he said was indeed the truth.
"It's true that it's okay to cross the big river, but my Tan tribe also has losses, what do you get in exchange?" Tan Wu didn't dig any deeper, and honestly became a businessman.
"That kind of pottery, can you?"
"Ten!" said the Beachwich Lion.
"Five!" Wood Witch shook his head.
"Eight!" the beach witch retreated.
"Four!" the Wood Witch retreated.
Tan Wu's eyes widened, angrily scolding him for not following the rules, but Mu Wu smiled and didn't speak.
"Five is five!" Tan Wu compromised.
"Deal!" Wood Witch laughed.
