Volume 2: The Loose World Chapter 114: Retest (16) Thirty Years of the Wood Tribe

Using sheep, deer, pigs, and chickens raised by the tribe, and after repeated experiments, the wood witch quickly determined the medicinal properties, a new type of plant fruit, which has strong hallucinogenic and addictive properties, and can anesthetize the nerves.

When the beast eats this fruit, its ferocity will be greatly reduced, and it will become easier to get close to, which is convenient for the tribe to domesticate and raise, and it is no problem to eat it in small amounts, but if it is taken too much, it will cause the nerves to collapse and go crazy.

After his many incubations and strengthenings, the effect of the plant became more and more peaceful, the side effects were reduced to a minimum, and the medicinal effect was more inclined to beasts than to humans, and he named the fruit Phantom Fruit.

After having the phantom fruit, the breeding industry of the wood tribe has also developed rapidly, no matter how savage the beast is, as long as a few phantom fruits are fed, it can become obedient, and there will be no ferocity again.

Don't worry about whether you will eat it, after evolution, the phantom fruit emits a strange fragrance, which is an extremely strong temptation for herbivorous beasts, that is, when it is just domesticated, the wild will attack from time to time, and the fruit needs to be fed regularly.

And the number of phantom fruits is not much, there is only one plant in the entire tribe, after all, it is a hybrid species, the wood witch can get it, and there is also an element of luck, the fruit of the phantom fruit tree cannot develop, and there is no way to reproduce for the time being.

Without harming the plants, the Phantom Fruit Tree only ripens three times a year, producing more than 600 Phantom Fruits, about ten Phantom Fruits, which can complete the domestication of a small wild boar, less sheep and deer, and more cattle and horses.

Adult beasts can also be used, but they are more wild and need more quantity, and the gains outweigh the losses, so it is better to tame them from a young age, and then slowly cultivate them, just using the plants of the tribe to strengthen their bodies.

The number of pigs, sheep, and deer has expanded rapidly, successively exceeding 100 heads, and calves and foals have also been brought back to the tribe one after another.

As a result, the number of livestock quickly grew, and the enclosure on the seventh platform gradually became insufficient, so Mu Wu asked Tubu to build a larger pen on the gentle slope at the foot of the mountain and move the cattle over.

The new pens were 1,000 zhang long and 500 zhang wide, and were built more widely considering the foals' activity grounds, and the large open space left at the foot of the mountain, which was expected to be used for the construction of houses, was occupied by nearly one-fifth.

After the completion of the stone path, the construction of the animal pen began, which took three years to complete, and by the time it was completed, the first few foals had almost reached adulthood, and the wood witch began to familiarize the people with horse riding.

And the earth department also ushered in a new task, that is, to strengthen the tribe's guard wall, on the inner side of the city wall, and then add five feet of triple earth inner wall, the thickness of the original five feet, increased to one zhang thick.

The outer wall has three zhang, while the inner wall is low, only two zhang and five are built, which is the same as the wooden rafts on the wall, and the new wall is also set up with wooden rafts, which are convenient for standing during battle, and also convenient for placing weapons and supplies.

The amount of work was less than the initial exterior wall, but it took a long time to build, the main reason is that the Fire Tribe's attacks are becoming more and more frequent, and it is always easy to be delayed by the war, after all, defending the tribe is the top priority.

Hunting teams continued to bring stones and clay from the grasslands, and warriors also brought back timber and limestone from the jungle from time to time.

Every two months, it is necessary to send a team of flesh and bone warriors to the beach to collect and bring back the dried sea salt, and at the same time, the sea water is loaded into the rock pit where the salt is dried with gourds, waiting for the next collection.

There are many giant sea beasts in the sea, because of their size, their strength is often fierce, far beyond ordinary brute beasts, often crawling on the beach to bask in the sun, even if they are guarding with a strong bow, they will encounter danger from time to time.

The range of movement of the grasslands is still expanding, and hunting parties occasionally find usable plants, and the new generation of warriors is not only physically strong, but also has a more flexible brain than the elderly, and will bring back plants they don't know to the witches.

Food, herbs, spices, poisons, raw materials...... The resources of the grasslands were yet to be discovered, and what pleased the Wood Witch the most was when a warrior returned from a hunt and told him that he had found a wasteland with no grass, much like the area he had said.

He led the team to check, and sure enough, at the bottom of the wasteland, a large piece of malachite was excavated, and at the bottom was a small stone vein, and the tribe spent two years digging up thousands of catties of malachite.

The reason why the speed is so slow is that the stones are buried too deeply, and the distribution is relatively scattered, from five zhang underground to ten zhang underground, which took a lot of effort from the tribe and even delayed the construction, but fortunately, the hard work was not in vain.

More than 3,000 catties of malachite have refined nearly 1,000 catties of copper, and with the original tin ore, a large number of bronze tools have been created, such as bronze knives, bronze swords, bronze axes, bronze shields, bronze spears, bronze halberds, and bronze arrows......

It basically met the needs of the tribe's flesh and blood warriors, and each person had a bronze weapon, and there was not much pure copper left, which was used by the wood witch to make bronze plows, bronze wheel axles, bronze shovels, bronze hoes, and bronze sickles...... And so on.

Before I knew it, in the thirtieth year of the Mu tribe, the population of the tribe had exceeded 800, 100 children, 100 children, 100 teenagers, 50 old people, and 450 warriors in the prime of life.

The number of flesh warriors has grown to eighty, and there are five people who have reached the peak, not including the leader, the leader is getting stronger and stronger, one person is enough to defeat thirty flesh and bone warriors, but he still has not broken through to the ability warrior.

The Wood Witch has never been able to develop a miracle medicine, and the leader is gradually becoming old, and he himself has discovered this problem, and he is more eager to break through the realm, and his temper is even more irritable, in fact, he is only ninety years old.

The life span of a flesh warrior is one hundred and fifty years old, and ninety years old is not old, but the leader is different, he was once severely injured by the fire leader, and later he was seriously injured by the alien thorns, both times so severe that they hurt the foundation.

The foundation is life, there is not much left of his life, the vigorous qi and blood to the extreme, began to slowly decay, and the damage to the foundation is difficult to reverse, which is the main reason why he has never been able to awaken.

The tribe's breeding industry has grown by leaps and bounds, with 100 pigs, 80 sheep, 60 deer, 30 horses, 10 strong horses for riding and fighting, 20 large horses for practice, and the rest are foals.

Long-term consumption of tribal plants, completed the mutation of the war horse, more than a zhang long, more than six feet high, strong muscles, can withstand 800 catties of gravity, fast as the wind, in the grassland such as walking on the ground, can travel 100 miles a day.

There were also twenty oxen, and there were ten strong oxen that could be used to plough the fields, but there were only five bronze ploughs, and the stone plough bone plough could not withstand the destruction of strong and fierce oxen, so only five ploughed land were left, and the surplus was used to pull carts to transport supplies.

With the use of bronze ploughs and ploughing oxen, Muwu took the time to make the cocoon cart for sowing, and the rate of cultivation and planting of fertile fields under the mountain increased dramatically, and the number of people used gradually decreased, freeing up a large number of laborers.

It took nearly 30 years to reclaim the wasteland that had been burned by fire at the foot of the mountain, and more than 1,000 acres of fertile land were obtained, and 500 acres were used to grow wheat, which could not only be used to make bread, but also as a staple food.

It can also brew delicious ale wine, Mu Wu specially took the time to cultivate wine fungus, and brewed ale wine, the thick wheat aroma mixed with strong stimulation, people who have drunk ale wine, are endless, can not extricate themselves.

However, the yield of ale wine is limited, and only the sacrifice can be tasted, 200 acres of potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, peas, and powdered roots, and 200 acres of cabbage, cabbage, pumpkin, sugar cane, gourd, lettuce, and grapes.

Ramie and water chestnuts have been eliminated, the prevalence of hybrid cloth fruit, water is specially diverted water, made into a hundred acres of mud field, and can make linen cloth, the fruit is sweet and crisp cloth fruit, won the warm welcome of the tribesmen.

The remaining dozens of acres are planted with spices such as mint, Huoxiang, chili, pepper, and perilla, as well as hemostatic herbs such as wormwood and notoginseng, which are convenient for the tribesmen to be injured and can be picked and used at any time.

The fruit groves on the other side of the mountain stream, persimmons, peaches, apples, ginkgo seeds, citrus, pears, and all kinds of fruit trees grow into forests, which can provide a large number of fruits every year, and can often be seen picked by tribal children.

A large number of birch trees have grown, and there are more than a dozen lacquer trees, and lacquer is the best material, paper has begun to prevail in the tribe, and the thick and tough birch bark is still an indispensable material for making boots.

Mulberry tree grows more, there are at least hundreds of more, the mulberry fruit in summer is black and fat, Tuomu is the best dry material for making bows, the fresh mulberry leaves can also be used to raise white silkworms, and the white silkworms of the tribe have been thousands.

The silk harvested every year, in addition to the consumption of making a strong bow, can have a large amount of surplus, enough to weave a few silk clothes, the silk is extremely tough, the silk clothing woven is extremely defensive, and it has a lot of resistance to water and fire.

The bamboo forest by the stream has also expanded a lot, there are winter bamboo shoots in winter, spring bamboo shoots in spring, bamboo chisels can make arrow shafts, bamboo spears can be used as traps, bamboo tubes, bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, bamboo plaques, bamboo utensils still have a lot of place in the tribe.

The tribe's annual food and tools, in addition to the need to maintain normal functioning, have a large surplus, which is filled into five warehouses, especially vegetarian and meat, with a large surplus, and the empty warehouses are gradually filled.

There are 30 strong bows for cattle and horses, 300 bronze arrows, and 30 early flesh and blood warriors form a formal archer, and everyone has superb archery skills, can shoot fruits from a hundred zhang away, and can hunt the fierce giant lion alone.

Ten mid-term flesh and blood warriors, riding well-trained war horses in the prime of life, warriors holding bronze halberd spears with wooden handles, and war horses wearing leather armor made of thick skin of pigs and oxen, invincible on the grassland, no beast of prey can stop them.

In addition to archers and cavalry, there were also fifty spear infantry, fifty sword and axe soldiers, fifty heavy armor shield soldiers, and fifty spear and stone pitchers, all of which were well-trained, and the wood tribe was truly strong.

In the thirty years of the Mu tribe, the great sacrifice, all the clansmen gathered in the sacrificial square, the ordinary clansmen wore white and clean cloth clothes, the upper layers wore soft and light silk clothes, their hair was tied neatly, and their eyes were respectful.

The tribesmen have their favorite ornaments, which are the fruits and glory of their hunting, and the sacrificial square has not changed much, next to the sundial in front, there is a tortoise shell three zhang wide, engraved with twenty-four solar terms.

Under the totem tree, there are piles of sacrifices, dozens of prey, all of which are fierce species, including herbivorous bison, giant deer, fierce horses, argali, carnivorous giant lions, blood tigers, wild wolves, forest snakes, and plants of various tribes.

The sturdy clansmen carried birch bark buckets, which were filled with bloody and rich prey blood, mixed with grass juice that could not be coagulated, and all splashed on the totem tree, staining red the thick thorns that grew vigorously and wrapped around the tree.

On the high platform, there are witches wearing silk clothes and silk pants and silk robes, and the leader wearing silk clothes and silk pants and wearing giant lion robes, the sacrificial ceremony is carried out as usual, and the tribesmen are enthusiastic, singing and dancing around the fire pond.

The coming-of-age ceremony was held as usual, but unlike before, Wu did not promote the Qi Blood Spirit Fruit again, and the leader took out the inventory of previous years and handed it to more than twenty young people who had just come of age, making them Qi and Blood Warriors.

Then, Wu communicated with the totem tree, released his ability, he put his hand on the trunk of the tree, but no grass appeared around him, only to see the thorns on the tree becoming more and more verdant, blooming a small flower, bearing a fruit.

Wu gave the fruit to the leader, and the leader ate the fruit, and the breath in his body skyrocketed, and his qi and blood reached its peak, and his blood was like a rainbow, however, after waiting for a long time, there was still no awakening ability, and the two were disappointed.

"Knock! knock!" Before they could express their emotions, suddenly the sound of drums came out in the distance, which was not long ago, and Wu made the skin of a forest worm to transmit messages over a long distance, replacing the original bamboo tube.

When the production was completed, Wu used it to test the effect, and it never sounded again, the faces of the clansmen changed drastically, the leader and Wu stood side by side, the leader raised the bronze halberd high, and the voice was like a bell: "Enemy attack!
