Volume 2: The Loose World Chapter 125: Re-examination (27) The Bronze Age

Mu Wu took three hundred warriors, followed the leader of the copper tribe, copper, two hundred miles deep into the jungle, the warriors advanced at full speed, and it only took five days to follow the instructions of the copper tribe to the location of the copper tribe.

The copper tribe is a small tribe, and it is within a radius of five hundred miles, the kind that is too small to be small, the whole clan is only a hundred people, and there are less than ten warriors.

The jungle is full of fierce beasts, and the tribes that are too weak have no way to survive at all, and they can only be reduced to the food of beasts.

The hunter and the prey are mutual, the strong is the hunter, the weak is the prey, the copper tribe is the prey of the jungle beasts, because their own strength is too weak, they are often attacked by fierce beasts, and casualties are common.

There were not many people, starving, freezing to death, and then casualties, in the long run, the strength of the tribe became smaller and smaller, until it completely disappeared from the jungle, no wonder Copper didn't want food, just wanted to join the wood tribe.

With their current situation, even if they get food, they may be fed to the beasts, and when the wood tribe arrived, the copper tribe was being attacked by wolves, and the jungle wolf's burly body leaped and bit the head wolf to death with its mouth open.

Seeing this, the other hungry wolves around were immediately frightened and scattered and fled, but they were killed by the warriors who rushed over, this is about to be the place of the tribe, how can any danger exist?

There was a mutilated corpse in front of the cave, and the entrance of the cave was covered by a huge rock, leaving only a gap, revealing a few pairs of vigilant eyes, looking at the team that drove away the wolves, and the copper leader hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

Seeing that it was their own leader, the tribe moved the stone and ran out of the cave, but they were still wary of the others, and the copper told the tribesmen the specific situation, and the tribe let down their guard and became happy.

The tribe often has people dying, and the frequent killings of the tribesmen have numbed the tribesmen, and they don't feel much, but they are happy to hear that they can join the powerful wood tribe, and the integration process is not difficult.

The warriors distributed the meat and fruits of the beasts to the yellow-skinned people, and when everyone was full of food and drink, they left a hundred warriors to protect them, and Mu Wu took two hundred warriors and followed the copper to the place of discovery.

Not far from the place where the copper tribe lived, about three or four miles away, there was a small hill, the vegetation on the mountain was sparse, and there were many scattered ores at the foot of the mountain, crystal, agate, diamond, gold and silver......

Copper used to be taken to the Wood Tribe, and the gems and copper mines traded were all picked up at the foot of the mountain, and there was no need for him to say more, in the special vision of the Wood Witch, a golden light had appeared, dense, and more than ten miles underground.

Just the part of the ore exposed on the ground, there are many natural copper and chalcocite, and the underground production is more abundant, not to mention the number of hundreds of thousands of catties, for a long time, the tribe no longer has to worry about bronze.

This is a vein! Mu Wu's face was full of joy, and at the same time, he noticed that there was a strong aura on the top of the mountain, so he asked what was on the copper mountain, and the copper replied with a frightened face, there were terrible man-eating monsters on the mountain.

In the past, the warriors of the copper tribe went up the mountain, and no one ever came down the mountain, and over time, there were rumors of man-eating monsters on the mountain, so they stayed, and the hill gradually became a forbidden place for the tribe, and no clansmen dared to approach.

Only when the tribe can't hold on, will he take the risk of picking up some ore at the bottom of the mountain and trading it with the Fire Tribe and the Wood Tribe, and he doesn't dare to take too much each time, for fear of alarming the monsters on the mountain, and his face is full of fear when he says it.

There is no fear in the wood witch, the aura of the species on the mountain is not strong, it is just an ordinary fierce species, no matter what kind of monster it is, it threatens the veins of the wood tribe, it must be eradicated!

Ignoring copper's dissuasion, Mu Wu led two hundred warriors and slowly advanced towards the mountain, the higher he went, the more ore he had, and on the way, regardless of the consumption of his abilities, he always opened his special vision, and finally came to the top of the mountain.

There is a small lake of several hundred zhang on the top of the mountain, the water of the lake is not normal clear, but verdant turquoise, beautiful and dangerous, in the center of the lake, is a big green tree, surrounded by vines intertwined.

The others didn't have any problems, it was just an ordinary vine tree, but it made Mu Wu's face change suddenly, I'm a good girl! The water of the verdant lake full of ponds is full of this guy's floating roots!

He hurriedly scolded and stopped the approaching warriors, but there were still people who didn't react, and looked at the lake curiously, the copper tree sensed the approach of life, and automatically recovered, and dozens of tentacles suddenly pulled out of the lake.

The soldiers who reacted slashed with their weapons, and the weapons collided with the roots, and sparks actually rubbed out, and several flint weapons were pulled out of the gaps, and the broken rhizomes turned into pure copper.

Everyone fell backwards and quickly left the range of the attack, only two who did not react in time, were entangled in the dense roots and dragged into the lake, which contained a fierce copper poison, and the warriors soon lost their lives.

Mu Wu's face was ugly, and he did not leave immediately, but took the warriors again, and built a firebreak on the mountainside to deal with the alien plants that could not be moved, and the tribe had already studied a way, that is, fire attack to deal with it.

No matter how difficult the plant is, it can only be reduced to ashes under the raging fire, and the firebreak is completed, and fireworks begin to rise all around, invading towards the central mountaintop, and the copper tree also senses the danger, and keeps waving its tentacles.

But it could not move, there was no way to stop it, the plants on the mountain were relatively sparse, and dead branches were brought from the bottom of the mountain, and the warriors lit them and threw them to the top of the mountain, and the bronze trees danced their roots, swept away the flying torches, and struggled.

The fire on the mountain burned for three days and three nights, the copper lake on the top of the mountain was completely evaporated, filled with burned ash carbon, and the copper tree in the center was also melted, turning into pure copper in the big beach, completely losing its vitality.

The warrior dug up the solidified copper ore and put it in a basket to take it away, the copper tree has been basically copperized, and the pure copper after melting can be thousands of catties, and the wood witch picked up a silver-white root under the main trunk of the copper tree.

This should be the essence of life of the copper tree, just like the thorns on the grassland, brought back to the tribe to cultivate, it is the new power of the tribe, he has seen the power of the copper tree, and he is looking forward to what it will look like.

......

More than 100 people from the Copper Tribe followed the warriors back to the Wood Tribe, leaving a hundred warriors to guard, the main task is to clean up the nearby beasts, those potential dangers, must be cleared.

After returning to the headquarters and planting the roots of the copper tree, Mu Wu began to dispatch the tribe's men to prepare for the construction of the copper mine branch, which was necessary to build a branch of the copper mine, which was two hundred miles away from the fire branch and three hundred miles from the wood headquarters.

Unlike the salt mines, which are only eighty miles away from the fire branch, they can be exchanged at any time. The copper mine is too far away, and only by establishing a branch can the copper mine be mined and the safety of the miners.

The Copper Mine Division is expected to put in 100 slaves from the salt mines, 200 slaves from the Fire Division, and 200 warriors from the Headquarters, plus 100 civilians from the original Copper Tribe, for a total of 600 people to garrison.

There is no problem with the wood and fire divisions, at most the construction is delayed, and the salt mine is a little troublesome, which may lead to a large reduction in production, and there is nothing left of the mined rock salt except for consumption, trading and supply.

But the importance of copper ore is worth doing, with sufficient copper ore, a large amount of bronze can be refined, and the tribe can also completely transform from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age, and the overall strength will inevitably increase.

The matter of the requisition was also quickly over, and at first some people were reluctant to run around, but when they saw the high reward, they began to scramble one by one, and the five hundred people soon gathered and came to the location of the copper tribe.

Without stopping in the cave of the tribe, the team converged and drove directly to the copper mountain, and the branch was intended to be built at the foot of the mountain, which was about four or five miles in a radius of about four or five miles, and built a wall for those who built a wall, and built a house for a house.

The tribe has developed to this day, and there is a division of labor in all walks of life, and the school has this kind of education, which teaches all kinds of basic knowledge, and even coppersmiths have trained a few, and when they arrive at Tongshan, they begin to look for ore to practice.

The construction of the branch was soon completed, and the earthen wall, which spread for several miles, surrounded the entire mountain, and the earthen wall was two zhang high and five feet wide, and only the gate was set up on the face, and every half mile there were guarded pavilions.

The dwelling area entered at the gate, and there were eight large collective houses, which were given to the tribesmen of the copper branch to live in, a large hall for deliberations, a storage storehouse, and several copper kilns a little further away, half a mile away from the living quarters.

After the completion of the construction, Muwu set up the copper Zheng, copper is copper, auxiliary is two coppersmiths, mining, charcoal burning, handling, refining and refining, pure copper transported back to the fire branch, made into "black stone".

In the sixty years of the Mu tribe, the tribal population reached 2,060, the nobles reached 1,003, the commoners 500, the slaves 800, and the adults 2,000.

1,000 warriors, 600 warriors, 200 flesh and blood warriors, 100 spearmen, 100 shield men, 100 axe men, 100 archers, 60 horse cavalry, and 40 ox cavalry.

After the Tree, Yu also successfully awakened the ability and became a real ability warrior, and his ability also belongs to wood, which is similar to the ability of the wood witch, both are controlled by plants, but they are more domineering than the control of the witch.

The witch's ability can only control softer plants, such as grass, vines, thorns, and roots, or control the growth of trees, forming a tree wall to defend against enemies, while the control of the wood is more direct.

He can make the big tree rise from the ground, get out of the dirt, walk with the roots, turn into the big tree soldiers, form a big army, fight for him, the trees are endless, the army is endless, in the jungle, it is simply the master.

The awakening of Yu has greatly enhanced the strength of the tribe, in addition to him, you have also reached the verge of awakening, and gradually ignore the affairs of the clan, and began to retreat silently, and the peak of the flesh and blood warriors is twenty people, which is also a lot of combat power.

The blood-red flowers of the vermilion tree withered and turned into finger-sized tender fruits, the roots of the copper tree grew back, and the half-human-tall tree grew strongly, and was planted back to the top of the copper mountain by the wood witch as the guard force of the branch.

After the transformation of the totem tree, the wood witch can be flexibly controlled, without the ferocity of the wild, and there is no need to worry about the threat to the clansmen, the thorn wood of the wood tribe, and the copper tree of the copper mountain.

The construction of the huge wall of the headquarters was completed, and the five-zhang city wall, like a huge iron tower, was solid, and the headquarters cooperated with the fire branch to pave the stone road between the two departments, and the horse-drawn carriage and ox cart with bronze wheels and axles facilitated the comings and goings of the various departments.

The fire division is building a stone road leading to the copper branch, and the headquarters is also building a stone road leading to the copper branch, striving to connect the three branches, and the copper branch is completely established, and a steady stream of copper ore is transported to the fire branch.

The branch built bronze weapons and utensils, smeared them with the juice of black vine plants, and turned them into blackstone weapons and utensils, which quickly circulated in the tribe, and with the increase of bronze, the price gradually became more accessible to the people.

The tribe is thriving, and all matters are progressing steadily, just when Mu Wu thought that he could get a stable life, a new crisis quietly came......
