[167] The source of the stone

"What?" Shen Nong asked subconsciously.

"Stones, there are a lot of stones in the eel tribe. Peck said excitedly.

"Stone!" Shen Nong had felt that something was wrong with the Mud Eel Tribe during the battle before, most of the weapons used by the Huangqiu Tribe at present were bone, but the Mud Eel Tribe was a level higher than them, not only the Mud Eel Warriors, but even every ordinary clansman used by them was a stone weapon, which was extremely helpful to the improvement of combat effectiveness.

Shen Nong had already been curious in his heart before, because the area around Bai Ze was all forest, and it was difficult to produce a large number of stone sources under this landform, and the eel tribe was able to let all the clansmen use stone weapons, either they secretly had a hidden stone source, or they traded a large amount of stone from which tribe, and the material of stone was very heavy.

With the civilization level of the eel tribe, they can't transport stones over long distances, so if it is the second possibility that Shen Nong guessed, then the tribe that has the capital to trade stones must be near the eel tribe.

"How many stones are there? Take me around. Shen Nong also said excitedly.

Stone has always been a very important material in the construction industry, and it is basically used in projects such as building houses and buildings.

However, Shen Nong wanted to get the stone at present, but he did not want to pour it into the construction of houses, because he felt that the wooden houses that had been built in the Huangqiu tribe were enough for the Huangqiu tribe to live in.

As for the more use of stone, Shen Nong wanted to use it in making weapons and tools.

After defeating the Eel Tribe this time, the stone weapons they used became all the trophies of Huangqiu, and the Huangqiu Tribe no longer needs to worry about the lack of weapons, just the batch of stone weapons harvested from the hands of the dead Eel tribe is enough for the Huangqiu Tribe to match hundreds of clansmen.

Weapons are not the key, although the eel tribe was defeated this time, Huangqiu's side also lost thirty clansmen, which can be described as a very heavy price, but the number of weapons is more than people.

Following the peck to the ruins after the destruction of the cone wooden house, Shen Nong saw a pile of rubble that was a man high in the center of the ruins.

These stones are gray and cyan all over, and the volume is large and small, the big one is about the same as a human head, and the small one is only about a fist.

Next to this pile of stones, there is also a pile of stones half a man high, and the stones in this pile are much more beautiful than the stones in the pile just now.

I saw that the surface of this pile of stones was particularly smooth, it didn't look like a stone, but more like jade, and this kind of stone was full of brown and red markings on a gray background, which was extraordinarily beautiful.

If Xiong Kao was present, he would immediately recognize the stones as the raw materials for the two twin knives he had taken from Xun.

"What kind of stone is this?...... I've never seen it before," Shen Nong couldn't help but muttered in his heart as he looked at the second pile of stones.

"Wu, this is all the stones we can find. Bone pecking said.

"What about the other things? food, medicinal herbs, animal skins, have you found them? ”

"Not yet, the owl is looking for someone over there. ”

Shen Nong nodded, after a tribe was destroyed, the biggest gain for the victorious side was to get all the resources stored in the defeated tribe, you must know that the eel tribe is a tribe with a population of more than 200, and the resources they have stored must be very rich, if the Huangqiu tribe can get it, it will definitely usher in a super reward of the 'burst' level.

"Pecking bones, you take a few people to walk around the neighborhood to see if there are any places like Stone Mountain, and if there are any, you can quickly run back and tell me. Shen Nong said.

He now had to figure out where the eel tribe's stone came from, whether it was the first possibility or the second possibility that Shen Nong had envisioned before, if it was the first......

The Huangqiu tribe will no longer have to worry about running out of stones in the future.

"Yes. The peck immediately agreed, called the three clansmen and left the place.

With the death of the people of the Mud Eel Tribe, the captured and the fled, the entire Mue Ancestral Land will be quiet, no one speaks, and every Huangqiu tribesman is searching around the mud for anything valuable in the ancestral land of the Mud Eel Tribe.

To be honest, Shen Nong still admires the eel tribe, these eel people can survive in such a muddy place, and they don't have the slightest intention of migrating.

The muddy place is definitely not suitable for living, first, the soil is soft, and it is impossible to build too complex houses, and the mud eel tribe also relies on the multi-point ground support and triangular stability of the cone wooden house to build a cone wooden house that can shelter from the wind and rain on this muddy land.

If it was a wooden house with a chimney and a fireplace, like the one that Shen Nong asked the Huangqiu people to build, it would definitely not be possible to build it here, because the soil is too soft and wet, and it is easy to have a wooden house sagging, tilting the foot of the house, and a strong earthy smell.

In short, in Shen Nong's eyes, the ancestral land of the Mud Eel Tribe is really a very bad location.

It didn't take long for a person to suddenly run out of the nearby forest, he strode up to Shen Nong, and said in a very surprised tone: "Wu, I really got you right, there is really a stone mountain over there." ”

"It seems that this time is a big harvest!" Shen Nong couldn't help but laugh when he heard the words of the bone peck.

Once the Huangqiu tribe takes over this stone source that originally belonged to the eel tribe, the future development trend of Huangqiu will definitely go further.

Not to mention anything else, Shen Nong has long wanted to use stones to make a medicinal mortar, otherwise every time a clansman is injured and bleeding, if he wants to use hemostatic herbs to stop bleeding, he has to put the herbs in his mouth and chew out the juice before he can use them, which is very inconvenient.

"Take me there. ”

"Yes. ”

So the peck ran in front, Shen Nong chased behind, and the two soon ran into the forest and came to the foot of a low rocky mountain hidden among the trees in the forest.

This stone mountain is different from ordinary mountains, I saw that this stone mountain is full of hard stones, and there is no green plant and soil in sight, so the stone production must be very considerable.

What made Shen Nong pay attention was that at the foot of this low stone mountain, there was a one-person high cave that could allow two people to walk side by side, and the inside of the cave was very dark, without a little light, presumably it should have been dug out by the eel tribesmen.

This made Shen Nong curious, what kind of tools did the eel people rely on to dig such a large-scale mountain road?
