Chapter 40: Hoarding
In a large and empty stone chamber, at the top of a stone platform made of huge stones, a huge square stone tablet was erected, on which a cluster of burning black flames was also drawn.
Walking down the stone steps of the high platform, there are many pictures painted on the stone walls on both sides, which not only describe some important history of the fire tribe, but also tell the history of the construction of this sacrificial temple.
It seems that this is the sacrificial temple of the Fire Tribe.
After walking the steps to the flat ground, there is a huge black iron giant ding, which is specially created by the tribe's iron clan after the tribal totem was moved here, and used for sacrifice.
Hui was next to Juding, and with him were Su Ming, Baiya and other representatives of the twelve clans of the tribe.
Having just finished listening to Su Ming's speculation about the effects of the increasing aura in the air, they were still in the midst of being shocked by this sudden news.
It's also incredible, the beast will open up the mind, and can also form a tribe like a human, invent and use tools, etc., and develop a civilization that belongs to the beast.
So, now that we know the general direction of development of this world in the future, what countermeasures should the Fire Tribe come up with in order to stay ahead of the next trend and not be eliminated.
This is the reason why Su Ming gathered the patriarchs of the twelve clans representing the entire tribe to discuss together, and also adjusted the development strategy of the tribe as early as possible and carried out targeted strengthening, which will become stronger and stronger, and dangers and opportunities coexist.
This is a crisis, but it can also be an opportunity for the Fire Tribe to grow by leaps and bounds.
For example, the Fire Tribe began to integrate the surrounding tribes, and the Fire Tribe mastered the ability to collect the subordinate tribes, but due to everyone's friendship for hundreds of years, it was impossible to bring them into the control of the Fire Tribe by force.
But when things do happen, they will have no other choice. To survive or to perish? At that point, of course, it is the choice of survival.
But how can they be willingly made to be their own subordinate tribes? After all, there is no clear evidence to prove that what the Fire Tribe says is true.
And Su Ming, after analyzing the situation of the six dogs raised by the tribe with spiritual power, roughly estimated that there would be ten years at most, or even shorter, and a large number of newly evolved beasts would appear, depending on the change in the concentration of spiritual power.
In other words, the integration of the tribes has not yet arrived, but some preparations can already be made for this, such as the storage of food, the development and construction of weapons, and the reinforcement and construction of city walls.
Anyway, prepare for a nuclear war in the same way as you prepared for a nuclear war in your previous life.
As a result, the Black Iron Weapons that the Fire Tribe had not been able to trade before were also taken out, in order to be able to reserve more salt.
The idle time is gone, and now the people of the Fire Tribe have begun to move wildly and start stockpiling all kinds of supplies.
Especially those hunting teams, there is no time to rest now, and they go out every day. Giant crossbows, hemp grass can be used to improve hunting efficiency.
Especially in the past, in order to show their bravery, it has been resolutely forbidden to fight with the prey, but now I see that the prey is all on the same page, and the prey that used to take half a morning can be done in three or two clicks, and everything in the tribe is now on par with efficiency.
The corpses of wild beasts were constantly transported back to the tribe, and the women who stayed behind were directly dismembered into pieces, or directly smoked or dried to make jerky, and for a time the whole tribe was in a smoke, and the wooden shelves in the open space of the settlement were covered with strips of meat.
The vultures that eat meat hover the tribe every day as strips of meat covered with wooden shelves, but they dare not come down because their predecessors have been stripped of their hair and hung on the trunks of trees. You can only pick up some unwanted offal by the river and eat it.
But that's all, and all the vultures in this area are fed.
Longlegs also sent out their clansmen, with a large number of clay pots, back to their former suzerain, the Tiger Tribe, ready to trade some of the animals they had domesticated to come back, after all, the animals here had not been in contact for a long time, and the yield would definitely not be as high as that they had raised.
It seems that everyone is trying everything for the sake of food.
The surrounding tribes, especially the leader level of the Water Tribe, were very puzzled when they saw such an abnormal behavior of the Fire Tribe, especially when they also took out black iron weapons that they never traded to exchange for salt, and the amount of their trade was so large that they had to go to the Water Tribe (Sect Master) to buy salt during the non-trading season.
What's even more terrifying is that this is still the first batch, and a large amount of salt is needed later, and all of them are settled with black iron weapons.
"Perhaps they realized that they would not be able to refuse when confronted with a black iron weapon, so they used it to settle the payment so that I could provide them with a sufficient amount of salt. Standing horizontally on the tree, I thought to myself.
"But what is the reason why they now have to hoard a lot of salt? Did they receive some information that table salt would be out of stock later. But no, I didn't hear any wind, how could they hear it. In any case, a tribe as powerful as the Fire Tribe has begun to reserve a large amount of salt, and it seems that its own tribe will also have to reserve more salt. ”
In a huge and ornate tent, a sturdy man kept moving back and forth, bowing his head and sighing from time to time.
Tiger Roar is very tired now, since the war with the wolf tribe, the other party has not fought with his main army, but has been harassing and sneaking up on his own subordinate tribes, and now it is more and more frequent.
Just a few days ago, a small subordinate tribe of his own was attacked by the wolf tribe, and he immediately suffered heavy losses and was almost wiped out.
Now this tribe is not only unable to give blood transfusions to the suzerain's tribe, but also must be protected and supported by the suzerain's tribe in order to continue to survive.
Only from last year, the wolf tribe broke the tribal totem, causing several large affiliated tribes to break away from themselves, especially after the deer tribe that can domesticate animals was hunted down and disappeared, the strength and power of the tiger tribe are getting worse and worse.
The scales of victory have begun to tip in favor of the wolf tribe.
If there is no accident, in a few years, the tiger tribe will have to migrate to other places, otherwise waiting for its result, it will either be wiped out or become a subsidiary tribe of the wolf tribe, and there is no third way to go.
"Chief, the long-legged leader of the deer tribe is here, and he wants to see you, saying that he has business to discuss. At this time, a man who was also very strong walked into the tent, came to the tiger's side and said.
"It's the Deer Tribe, call him in. "When I heard that it was the deer tribe, the deer tribe that had lost the news for a year is now here again.
Tigerroar was immediately so pleased that he ignored that the deer tribe had come to do business......
