Chapter 57: A Long Journey
The sun is shining
The breeze is gentle
The grass is green
Flowing water
Su Ming and the others had been working all morning, and now they had finally dug a big hole.
They're going to bury all the corpses they can find here, even the wild python. According to the previous situation, Su Ming and the others had to carry the wild beasts they hunted back to the tribe and store them as high-quality food.
But when they saw the corpses that kept slipping out of its belly, Su Ming and the others completely lost their appetite to eat its meat, so they buried them together.
After all, compared to the Zombie Wilderness, it is better to be in the ground.
This was a prosperous tribe of nearly 300 people before, and all the tribesmen were still immersed in the excitement of defeating the reckless python, who knew that this excitement had not lasted for a day. The next moment, they all died in the revenge from the reckless python, and the entire tribe was completely cut off from the inheritance.
On the way back, Su Ming and his team were a little silent, without unnecessary conversations, and they were always hurrying quickly......
Soon, the news that the Grass Tribe was exterminated by the Barbarian Python spread from the Fire Tribe to all directions following the footsteps of the trading team.
For a time, all the surrounding tribes fell into panic and began to build fortifications on a large scale and update existing weapons.
Taking advantage of this trend of strengthening defense and armaments, the Fire Tribe made a lot of money by selling weapons, enriching the types and quantities of materials in the tribe's warehouse.
It was even more through the extermination incident of the Grass Tribe, the strength of the Fire Tribe left a deep impression on the other tribes, after all, the reckless giant python of the three hundred people of the Grass Tribe was killed by a team of warriors of the Fire Tribe, and only twelve people were killed, and there is nothing more convincing than the existing facts.
And all this is also what the Fire Tribe is willing to see, only by showing their powerful power can they gain more trust from the tribe in the next changes, collect more subordinate tribes, and quickly expand the power of the Fire Tribe.
"Priest, I'm going to take a group on a long expedition to explore the far side of the plain, and by the way, I'm looking for any other exotic plants. Su Ming came to the priest's medicine field and said to Hui, who was taking care of the herbs transplanted from the Grass Tribe.
"Have you already decided?" Hui, who had stopped taking care of the herbs, stood up and whispered to Su Ming, "How long are you going to go out?"
"I'm going to leave early tomorrow morning and return probably before winter comes. The team members have white teeth, black ears, and a single bear...... There were twenty-five people in total, and by the way, there was also the long legs of the deer tribe, who was better at camping on the plains. Su Ming said the list of people who were going to travel this time, and then waited for Hui's opinion.
After Su Ming crossed over, it was Hui who took care of him all the time, even when he was injured or in danger due to deduction, Hui never abandoned him, and even selected him as a reserve for the tribal priests.
Hui took care of Su Ming like an elder and a relative, which he couldn't forget, and he respected Hui as his elder in his heart, so he wanted to get Hui's approval for his plan to go out and explore this time.
"Well, the people selected are all very powerful and reliable, you have to be careful outside. After thinking carefully about the names of the people Su Ming said, Hui nodded to Su Ming and replied.
"Okay, then I'll go back and make some preparations for the trip, and I'll go first. ”
"Hmm. ”
As soon as the genius was faintly bright, there was no sound around except for the sound of insects, and even the beasts were resting.
"Su Ming, Su Ming, open the door. Outside the door rang out the voice of the priestly Hui.
Opening the closed wooden door, Su Ming welcomed Hui into the house, added a few pieces of wood with pine oil to the fire pit, and suddenly the bonfire was blazing, the temperature in the house rose several degrees, and the spring morning was still very cold.
"Hui, why did you come to me at this time, even if I have to leave today, you don't need to see me off now. Su Ming was a little puzzled.
Hui didn't answer Su Ming's words, but took out a few small animal skin bags from his clothes and placed them on Su Ming's table.
Then he said: "These are the medicinal herbs I processed overnight, this No. 1 bag contains five-leaf vines, this No. 2 bag contains red fruits, and this No. 3 bag contains five-colored flowers, and this No. 4 bag ......."
There are a total of ten kinds of medicinal herbs, and their functions range from treating external injuries to colds, from laxatives to poisons.
After Hui finished introducing the contents of these animal skin bags, he didn't say anything more, he got up and walked outside, and when he reached the door, he paused, and said in a very soft voice: "Come back alive." Then he walked away without looking back.
Su Ming looked at the animal skin bag on the table, did not speak, and the surroundings fell silent again.
The sun had completely risen, and Su Ming and his expedition team would also set off, and the clansmen of the Tribal Alliance had rushed to see them off. But Su Ming didn't find Hui in the crowd, maybe he came to see him off when he met this morning.
Su Ming and them were all fully armed, spears, long knives, bows and arrows, armor, and even three giant crossbows. There are also newly domesticated two-horned horses of the deer tribe in the team, carrying a large number of supplies and walking in the team, and next to them, Hei Dazheng is running back and forth majestically.
This time he went out with the team again, and felt very excited, and as soon as he stepped out of the tall walls of the tribe, he began to rejoice.
Su Ming's initial plan was to walk along the mountain range until one day in the middle of autumn, calculate the time it would take to return, and then they would quickly return within the planned time.
Because Su Ming and the others had to inspect the surrounding environment, vegetation, and animals along the way, the speed of progress would be relatively slow. So it takes a lot more time to move forward than it does to go back.
As for when Su Ming and the others will return, it depends on how much they have gained along the way, anyway, they plan to return to the tribe before the snow.
......
"Xiao Yu, get up and exercise, see what you have become fat, if you don't exercise, you won't be able to fly when you become an adult." A cute little girl dressed in pure black animal skin roared at a plump bird.
Looking at her angry little mumbling mouth, the big bird, which was obviously too fat, hurriedly walked to Xiaoliang's side, snuggled her tightly, and gently pecked her little hand with her beak.
But Xiaogu Liang was even more moved, and still stared at it in a daze, with an expression on her face as if she would never give up if she didn't complete the exercise plan today.
Seeing that this trick didn't work, it opened its eyes wide again and posed in a cute pose to Xiaogu Liang. Looking at its scoundrel statue, Xiao Guliang directly let out a "hum" sound, turned her head to the side, and was not looking at it.
Seeing that the usual effective selling of cuteness didn't work, it had to come up with what it thought was a trick: Wow, wow-
It actually started singing, but the next situation was different from what it expected. I saw that Xiaogu Liang rushed over directly, pinched its mouth tightly with both hands, stared at it with a pair of eyes full of anger, and words with cold air popped out of her small mouth: "Hurry up and exercise, double the weight!" This is a punishment for your terrifying singing. Go quickly!"
Seeing that the master was really angry, the giant bird jumped up and down directly, and kept flapping its wings to accelerate, stumbling towards the training ground.
"Hmph, the method my mother said is really effective, it seems to be more useful. Otherwise, it will always be cheating and slippery, and it will not fly until then. Looking at the distant back of the giant bird, Xiao Guliang said to herself, "Also, its singing voice is really ugly, and you can't let it sing in front of me in the future." ”
