Chapter 91: Niu Wu
Knowing that the Fire Tribe had reached a peace agreement with the Tooth Tribe before coming here, especially when the Fire Tribe was willing to return the Water Tribe's former territory to him, the Water Stream refused.
They are now integrated into the Water Tribe (Dynasty) and will not split again and return to their former station.
But he also expressed his gratitude and promised that he would do his best to get the two sides to reach various treaties in the next talks with the tribe's top officials.
During their stay here for a few days, Su Ming and the others also temporarily communicated with the high-level leaders of the Water Tribe and temporarily reached a trade alliance.
The Water Tribe will once again send caravans to communicate and trade with the Fire Tribe, continue the trade in weapons and salt, and take what they need.
After getting the trade promise from the Water Tribe, Su Ming was also greatly relieved in his heart. Although a comprehensive strategic alliance was not reached, at least a treaty of trade was reached, and the source of salt for the Fire Tribe could be guaranteed again.
Although you can now exchange some salt from the Tiger Tribe and the Wolf Tribe through the cave, the amount is too small to support the current consumption of the Fire Tribe.
A few days later, Su Ming took the maps of the surrounding major tribes that he had traded from the Water Tribe. The arduous journey of continuing eastward to visit other large tribes began.
......
The morning is bright, warm and pleasant, and the vibrant green covers the vast land.
The spring breeze blows slightly, and countless newly grown young leaves continue to sway in the air with beautiful figures.
Niu Wu took his people and ended the endless run in the lush woods, and now he is sitting on a stone and resting quietly.
It's been three days, and none of the people who escaped have had a good rest or a full meal. Looking at the tired and immature clansmen around him, his thoughts couldn't help but go back to that terrible night three days ago.
In the sudden tribal scuffle, the Niu tribe and the sheep tribe that have been friends for generations formed an alliance together to fight against the Shang tribe and the vegetable tribe who also formed an alliance.
Everyone is a medium-sized tribe of similar strength, and after forming an alliance, both sides are also in a state of equal equilibrium, constantly annexing the surrounding small tribes to strengthen themselves.
Originally, I thought that before the annexation of the surrounding small tribes, there would be no big battle between the two sides, and the confrontation would continue like this.
But three days earlier, the Sheep tribe had suddenly betrayed the alliance with the Ox tribe and instead joined forces with the enemy and launched a surprise attack on the Ox tribe.
When the warriors of the sheep tribe came to the station of the cattle tribe, due to the alliance between the two sides, they did not deliberately guard against the cattle tribe warriors of the sheep tribe, and the warriors of the sheep tribe discovered all the famous detectives and secret agents, and all the outposts along the way were uprooted.
The warriors of the other two tribes were not in danger of being discovered in advance, and marched unhindered and rapid along the way, and the entire tribal garrison of the Niu tribe was surrounded by the combined warriors of the Shang tribe and the Cai tribe that night, and launched a frontal attack.
And the tribal warriors of the Niu tribe who had already lined up in battle, had high morale, and were preparing to meet the enemy, and those tribal warriors who did not have the slightest defense against the alliance, were killed in rows by the spears that suddenly stabbed from behind.
And these people, as the seeds of the future revival of the tribe, escaped from a small gap in the encirclement only by using flesh and blood to open a small gap in the encirclement under the desperate breakthrough of the leaders and priests and the priests.
The others who could have walked together voluntarily stayed behind to resist the pursuers, and one by one they fell to the ground, but the others fought to the death, and in the end only the priest remained.
From afar, he watched the priest with a torch and lit a fire, and now in his ears, the priest's last desolate cry still echoed.
"Niu Wu, you take them to run quickly, remember, don't let the inheritance of the Niu tribe be broken!"
After shouting this, the priest ignited the huge pyre, and the fire burned fiercely, and although it succeeded in stopping the pursuit of the enemy, the priest was also killed in the fire.
For the next three days, he didn't dare to stay at all, except for the short sleep time that was necessary every day, and the rest of the time he was constantly running west with his people.
Go to the great tribes far away, because what they need most is a wholehearted warrior, not a persecuted slave, and of course, these things are also told to him by the priest in advance.
There are always chasing soldiers in the back. The birds in the distant woods at dusk that do not dare to return to their nests to rest are the best proof of that.
But now, they really can't run. The supplies that were originally intended to be used on the road were also constantly consumed and lost on the way to escape with the enemy in hot pursuit.
They didn't even dare to stop to catch fish, and now they hadn't eaten all day, and they only had to drink water from the creek to satisfy their hunger.
Frightened, helpless, depressed, he felt endless darkness right behind him, trying to devour and extinguish these little flames of them.
"They're there, hurry up and don't let them run anymore. ”
Suddenly, on a hill not tall behind them, the excited cries of the enemy sounded.
The teenagers, who were still lying on the ground and gasping for breath, bounced directly from the ground like springs, and rushed forward like cheetahs without being greeted by anyone.
Running away and running became their only belief now.
But after all, they were only a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old half-grown teenagers, and their physical strength and speed could not be compared with those fighters in their prime behind them.
It's completely over. Looking at the enemy who was getting closer and closer in the rear, Niu Wu felt helpless and desperate. Could it be that the cattle tribe, which has such a long inheritance, is really going to be cut off from now on and die out between heaven and earth?
Just as he was disheartened and about to accept his fate, he suddenly saw a warrior riding on a beast with two horns on the trade road below the hill.
Although this team is very unfamiliar, Niu Wu can be sure that they are not very strong, or they have a very high status, at least they are also warriors in the big tribe.
In either case, the other party can protect their safety as long as they want to. The only thing to consider now is how to impress the other party and get their protection.
The marching team suddenly stopped, and began to bend their bows and arrows to prepare for war. It turned out that the black big who was walking in the line issued a warning that a creature was approaching.
The current black university, under the influence of rich aura, has also become more intelligent, and can clearly emit different movements and sounds to express different meanings.
Its strength is also more huge, its speed, endurance, agility, and bite power have also become dozens of times stronger, and its size is now even more huge, and it is already as tall as a person when standing.
Now they can cooperate with the warriors of the Fire Tribe to hunt those wild beasts together, and they have become a good helper for hunting, and they are also the favorite animals of the Fire Tribe warriors.
After a while, I saw a group of half-grown children running out of the wooded hills, and there were some noisy voices behind them.
Su Mingding looked at it, and it turned out to be a group of strong warriors. It seems that this is another drama of the victorious tribe chasing the defeated tribe. This scenario, which they have already foreseen many times on the road, is no longer surprising.
Under normal circumstances, as long as Su Ming waited on the side for a while, these people would naturally choose to avoid the team, pass directly and quickly, and then continue to escape and pursue, which would not delay them to continue their journey.
However, this time the situation was different, this group of half-grown children actually came directly towards Su Ming's team, and while running over, they shouted loudly: Help us, we can pay you - strange plants!
