Chapter 642: The Kaka Tribe

Although he was very curious about what kind of warships were still operating in the Guga Desert at this moment, he also knew that now was definitely not a good time to look for warships.

Now his knowledge of the Guga Desert is limited to a few books, but from the actual situation, the situation in the Guga Desert is not as simple as mentioned in the book, and he needs to collect more really useful information in order to be able to go deeper and more effectively into the depths of the Guga Desert to find things.

After making it clear that the direction of the field effect was to leave the Guga Desert, Leo began to release his speed and move in that direction.

For ordinary people, the climate of the Guga Desert feels deadly, not only does the temperature not only drop to freezing point after nightfall, but also often accompanied by biting cold winds, and the ground formed by a large amount of floating sand may not be able to climb out if you step on it carefully.

However, the climate and environment are not the most dangerous, the most dangerous are those creatures that inhabit the desert, those creatures are strange, and all of them are highly poisonous, some bury themselves in the sand, when there is prey passing by, they will immediately drill out to launch a deadly attack on the prey, and some will directly disguise themselves as a large sandy land, as long as someone steps on it, it will directly wrap the intruder, and the pores under the outer skin will instantly spew out a large amount of corroded venom, dissolving the prey in a short time, and then devouring and digesting.

Leo had walked in the desert for less than two hours and had encountered more than fifty attacks, a far cry from the harsh weather during the day.

"It's no wonder that all those who make it out of the Guga Desert alive are called lucky, and it takes a lot of luck for an ordinary person to survive in this environment. Leo crushed a poisonous sand lizard that had just come out and wanted to bite his ankle, and looked at the endless desert in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.

While these dangers in the desert are fatal to ordinary people, they are not dangerous to Leo, just a bunch of annoying little bugs.

Leo had been on the road all night, and the unchanging terrain around him was easy to get bored, and even wonder if he was going in the right direction, but Leo did not hesitate, because just over an hour ago, his sense of smell had already smelled a very faint smell of the sea breeze, and the temperature around him had also changed a little, no longer freezing, but rising a little.

Judging by these signs, Leo was certain that he was almost at the edge of the Guga Desert.

Just as the night was coming to an end and the sun began to rise in the distance, Leo saw a series of tent shadows in the distant sand dunes illuminated by the sun, which looked like a desert nomad.

Although the desert is scarce, there is also something worth trading, most of the nomads who live in the desert are natural traders, they will buy large quantities of salt from the salt works on the east coast of Savile, and then trade it to various desert tribes as they wander the desert, and buy all kinds of desert creatures caught from those tribes.

In the beginning, these strange desert creatures would be made into specimens and sold to wealthy people in other countries who liked to hunt for curiosities, but could not afford to come to Savile.

However, with the emergence of various research reports from medical schools, the world has discovered that all kinds of organisms in the desert have a very special medicinal ingredient in their bodies, and after refining this medicinal ingredient and adding it to other medicinal ingredients, the efficacy of this medicinal agent can be increased several times.

For a time, the market for desert creatures skyrocketed, and the annual export income of various desert creatures has accounted for more than one-third of the export income of the Savile Kingdom.

However, it is precisely because of the large number of Saviles who capture desert creatures that all kinds of creatures that are easy to catch in other deserts have almost been caught, while the domesticated desert creatures do not have that magical potion ingredient, that is, many extremely poor nomads have to come to the edge of a desert full of dangers such as the Guga Desert to find opportunities to capture those desert creatures.

The nomadic tribe that appeared in front of Leo was also such a tribe that ventured to capture desert creatures.

This tribe is called Kaka, and it is one of the thousands of small tribes in Savile, but in the past, before the Lord of All Things was called the only religion in the Kingdom of Savile, the Kaka tribe was one of the largest dozen tribes in Savile, with hundreds of thousands of tribe members, and many high-ranking tribes held important positions in the palace.

The reason why the Kaka tribe had such a strong strength and status at that time was because the women of the Kaka tribe had a high chance of becoming guides.

In ancient times, the desert road had not yet appeared in the Savile Kingdom, and there were two kinds of indispensable people who wanted to survive in the desert among the tribes within the kingdom, one was Sha Lao, who had lived in the desert for many years and had rich survival experience, and the other was the desert guide.

Sha Lao's role is to help the tribe find valuable crops and desert beasts, so that the tribe can survive in such a harsh environment as the desert.

Desert guides are more important, as they help the tribe not get lost as they navigate the desert and find a source of water for them to survive.

In the desert, unless it is on the edge of the desert, the water source in the desert will not be fixed in one place, it will appear in any part of the desert without any regularity, maybe the bottom of the dune in front of you is still a deep pit during the day, but at night, it may become a small lake.

Therefore, if you want to survive in the desert, people who can easily find water sources are absolutely indispensable.

At that time, in the entire Savile Kingdom, the desert guides of the Kaka tribe accounted for more than half of all desert guides, and their importance was self-evident to the various desert tribes, and the Kaka tribe also used this to make itself stronger.

It's a pity that when the belief in the Lord of Life and Death began to spread in the desert, and gradually replaced the original beliefs of various tribes, it was finally recognized as the only faith by the Kingdom of Savile and became the state religion.

After the Lord of All Things became the only faith, many things in the desert changed, such as the Desert Gallop Project, the Great Oasis Project, etc., which were led by the church, gathered the originally scattered tribes into a city-state with the church as the core, which reduced the pressure on the survival of the tribe and gradually lost the status of Sha Lao.

Later, the witch hunting incident that swept through the world of Veron also appeared in Saville, when the desert guide from the Kaka tribe was all women, and the other tribes coveted the wealth of the Kaka tribe, so they framed the women of the Kaka tribe as witches.

A gluttonous feast for the Kaka tribe was also instigated by well-intentioned people from all sides, the desert guides in the tribe and the families related to the desert guides were all captured and killed by fanatical believers, the tribal property was divided among all forces, and the huge Kaka tribe fell apart, and in the end there were less than a thousand Kaka tribes left.

After that, the Kaka tribe has been at the bottom of the entire Savile tribe and has not recovered, although the church has stopped capturing witches, and even witches have come to the stage to become the real power of the kingdom, but the Kaka tribe is still ostracized by the people of various tribes, and even the last piece of land belonging to the Kaka tribe was deprived decades ago, and the Kaka tribe had to become a nomadic tribe.

Now the Kaka tribe mainly sells sea salt for a living, and there are only more than 300 members of the tribe, half of whom are female slaves bought by the Kaka tribe from slave traders in order to reproduce the tribe, and these female slaves will eventually be distributed to the men of the tribe and become the tools of the tribe to reproduce.

The patriarch of the Kaka tribe was called Abaham Kasa, who was born in the era when the Kaka tribe had not lost their land and lived in the city-state, although at that time, the relationship between the other tribes in the city and the Kaka tribe was very difficult, but at least life was relatively stable.

However, after the Kaka tribe was driven out of the city-state, it became a lot of disasters, and the tribesmen died in large numbers due to illness, and even the former patriarch died of illness.

Bahan Kasa was forcibly elected by his clan to become the patriarch because he was the only one in the clan who had ever gone to school, and the only one of the Kasa family who had reached adulthood.

In order to allow the Kaka tribe to continue, Abahan was forced to lead his people to work as sand thieves for a period of time, quickly accumulated a fortune, and before the kingdom's sand cavalry reacted, he immediately broke away from the sand pirates, and instead led the tribe to engage in the business of selling salt, which lasted for decades.

The trade of selling salt is not very easy to do, and the general nomadic tribes take the desert road, which is safe and convenient, but they need to pay taxes on the road, and they don't just pay it once, they have to pay it once before they reach a city-state.

The Kaka tribe didn't have that much money to pay taxes, so they could only cross the desert like the other low-level tribes, and in the process of crossing the desert again and again, many tribesmen died in the desert, but fortunately, they found a few safe desert passages, and the tribe's losses were stabilized.

Ten years ago, Abahan Kasa broke the marriage rules of the tribe, took out all the savings of the tribe for more than ten years, bought some female slaves, and let some of them marry adult men in the tribe.

Bahan Kasa not only wants the tribe population to recover, but he also wants the tribe to develop further, if not to return to the past 100,000 people, but it is good to be able to become a tribe of thousands.

So, after thinking about it for a while, Abaham Kasa set his mind on the desert creatures in the Guga Desert.

Now the price of buying wild desert creatures outside has reached an extremely alarming bottom, an ordinary sand snake is three kinsas, you must know that the price of ordinary female slaves outside is only fourteen gasas, and one kinsa can buy six female slaves.

Although entering the Guga Desert is very dangerous for anyone, even the tribes living on the edge of the Guga Desert will not be willing to enter the Guga Desert, and will only use some methods at the edge of the desert to attract those creatures that inhabit the desert and capture them.

But for Abahan Kasa, there is no danger at all for them to enter the Guga Desert, and for the Kaka tribe, the Guga Desert is just a homecoming.

The rest of the Kaka tribe didn't know that the Kaka tribe actually originated in the Guga Desert, and they didn't know that the Kaka tribe had the ability to freely enter and exit the Guga Desert and survive for a long time.

In Abaham Kasa's opinion, the desert tribes around the Guga Desert who claim to be the descendants of the Guga civilization are all liars, and if there is really a Guga civilization in this world and there are descendants left, only the Kaka tribe has this qualification.

The secret of the Guga Desert was something that Abahan Kasa knew after he became the patriarch, and the previous patriarch died of illness before he could leave any words.

But what he didn't expect was that he discovered the secret of the origin of the Kaka tribe in those ancient tribal books, and found a more important secret in the secret of the origin, that is, the desert guide of the Kaka tribe, in fact, should be the guide of the Guga Desert.

In the past, when the Kaka tribe had just left the Guga Desert and was still very weak, the Kaka tribe relied on the tribe's desert guides to travel through the Guga Desert and do business with other tribes, so Abahan Kasa also wanted the Kaka tribe to start over.

But the problem is that the Kaka tribe no longer has a desert guide, because of the witch hunting incident that year, all the guide families in the tribe were extinct, and their Kasa family was originally a guide family, but there was no guide for several generations at that time, so they escaped this catastrophe.

So this matter has always been suppressed by Abahan Kassa, but what happened suddenly a year ago reminded Abahan Kasa, who had forgotten the story of the rise of the Kaka tribe, back to his dream.

A year ago, the Kaka tribe had to take refuge in the desert because of an extremely powerful sand bandit, but although they avoided the sand pirates, they got lost in the desert, which was more dangerous than encountering sand pirates.

Just when everyone was in despair, a man stood up and said that she could find a way out, and no one believed her at that time, until she suddenly went out on a camel one night and brought back a dozen leather bags of clear water in the morning, and everyone was sure that she was the desert guide who had been extinct for more than a hundred years in the Kaka tribe.

Over the next year, Abaham Kasa tested the ability of the guide, who could only guide the right path and direction on the edge of the desert, but now the guide can lead the entire tribe across the desert, and the process of crossing is more comfortable than walking on the desert path, and he can always find a suitable waterhole to camp in before camping every night.

It was the faith in the guide that made Abaham Kasa eagerly start to carry out his plan, and began to lead his people to infiltrate the Guga Desert and capture those desert creatures that could be sold for a large price.
