Volume 2: The Wandering World Chapter 127: Re-examination (29) Journey to the West

Since the seventy years of the Wood Tribe, the Wood Witch has rarely stayed in the tribe, except for the high priest who will appear and occasionally come out to solve problems, and the rest of the time, he will bring cavalry and archers to clean up the threats on the map.

After cleaning up those green areas, they began to clean up the yellow areas again, and the process lasted for a whole decade, and the yellow areas marked with them were all threatening, and even the wood tribe found it tricky.

Either hordes of barbarian beasts, or strong beasts that occupy the mountains and live alone, or extremely dangerous areas, with special alien plants entrenched in mountains and forests, no matter what they are, they are not easy to deal with.

The clearance team has also encountered dangers, suffered losses, and the life of the wood witch is also in danger, but fortunately, after the recovery of the wood, he has become the witch's guard, and with him pressing the formation, the situation is much better, and the speed of the clearance has increased.

There are many dangers, and there are many harvests, edible plants, such as winter melon and watermelon, vegetables and fruits, winter melon and bone soup is a holy product in the cold season, and the melon skin can cure edema; watermelon is a holy relic that cools and quenches thirst in the summer season.

The herbs that can be used include Bupleurum and Chrysanthemum to clear away heat and relieve fire, Epimedium to nourish the kidney and strengthen the yang, Bergamot and incense to soothe the liver and regulate qi, Safflower and Yuanhu to promote blood circulation and dispel stasis, Dendrobium and Mai Dong to have the effect of tonifying yin.

Hundreds of years of old medicine, there are three hundred years of angelica, which can make up for a large amount of qi and blood, and five hundred years of codonopsis, which contains a lot of vitality, and the effect is comparable to that of a spirit berry.

There are rare materials, such as a large spider that is a foot wide, can spit out tough spider silk, and even bronze is difficult to cut, and after the tribe killed it strongly, a large ball of silk sac was taken out of its belly.

There are available species, next to a certain tribe, found a straight forest, which is called a poisonous forest by the locals, but it is a large area of tung oil, the fruit of tung oil is originally slightly poisonous, and it is inevitable to have an accident if you eat too much.

Tung oil fruit can be squeezed out of tung oil, tung oil can also be used for medicinal purposes, external use can clear heat and detoxification, insecticidal muscle, can treat skin moss, sores, frostbite, scalds, but also an important raw material, anti-corrosion, anti-rust.

Tung oil is the main source of inks and paints, with tung oil, you can make waterproof tarpaulin, oiled paper, and can also be smeared on weapons and tools, such as the axles of board cars, to reduce wear and tear.

It's just that the distance is a little far, three hundred miles away from the fire branch, and two hundred miles away from the headquarters, the wood tribe thought about it for a while, and let the nearby Tong tribe pick oil tung and transport it to the fire branch, and exchange it with food.

And what made Mu Wu feel most pleased was that he had found five spirit plants in a row, two of which were small trees like Zhu Guo, which were slightly inferior in energy and blood, but they were stronger than spirit berries, one bearing three fruits, and one bearing five.

Two are vine plants, one of which has only a single main vine with a green fruit, the other vine is overgrown with a dozen fruits, and the last is a herbaceous plant with a golden fruit.

The five spiritual plants really took a lot of effort from the tribe, the green fruit of a single vine and the yellow fruit with green grass, the effect of these two fruits can be similar to that of the vermilion fruit, the grass fruit is close to maturity, but the vine fruit is growing.

In addition, there are three small trees with blue fruits, five small trees with white fruits, and then more than a dozen vines with purple fruits, the effect is stronger than that of the spirit berries, the blue fruits are still growing, one white fruit and two purple fruits are about to ripen.

The green area and the yellow area were completely cleaned by the Muwu people, and on the map of the tribe within a radius of five hundred miles, there were only seven lonely red forbidden lands, and those seven forbidden places were very likely to hide strange beasts and plants.

Those things are untouchable by the current tribe, and the wood witch did not provoke indiscriminately, but just marked the place and specially warned the clansmen that they could not go and provoke at will, and they could not afford the consequences.

In the seventy-eighth year of the tribe, the golden grass and fruits were ripe, and thousands of beasts around the headquarters attacked, and even a few terrible beasts came out of the depths of the grassland and stepped over the outer wall under construction, but failed to cross the towering inner wall.

Among the ten flesh and blood warriors who have reached the limit, six of them are under the age of one hundred and ten, and when their qi and blood are in full swing, there is still the possibility of a breakthrough, and Mu Wu selected them and competed with his bare hands.

The final victor is a big man named Mang, who has just turned 100 years old this year, and was once the first slave traded from the Fire Tribe of the Wood Tribe.

Mu Wu handed him the Golden Grass Fruit without charging any fees, and two years later, Mang lived up to expectations, successfully awakened his abilities, greatly improved his physical fitness, and became the fourth ability warrior of the tribe.

The ability of Reckless Awakening, like the warriors of the Mountain Tribe, is that it can come and go freely in the dirt without being detected by anyone, and can even penetrate sandstone, but cannot penetrate rocks and ores.

It also has the ability to see through, but it can be limited to various mountains and rivers. The ability to retreat is a bit of a frustration, and it doesn't significantly improve combat effectiveness, at most it just lurks underground, waiting for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the enemy.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the clansmen were more or less disappointed, but Mu Wu discovered his bright spot and began to teach Mang the ability to search for minerals, allowing him to use his expertise to find veins deep underground for the tribe.

In the eighty years of the wooden tribe, the population of the tribe reached 3,000, 1,005 warriors, 1,06 nobles, 600 commoners, 800 slaves, and 2,000 adult population.

Through the few memories left in his mind, Mu Wu successfully created a bronze ballista, which was used to attack and defend the city, all of which were a big killing weapon, creating a heavy chariot with two oxen and two horses, and forming a weapon soldier.

And to create a repeater, the repeater is different from the bow and arrow, the bow and arrow have a strict demand for manpower, and the impact of people is great, the repeater is mainly its own material, the requirements for manpower are small, and it can play a terrible attack.

Bronze armor was also manufactured, a collection of helmets, breastplates, leg armor, arm armor, and combat boots, with a body weight of fifty pounds, but the process required was too high to be made in batches, and only a small number of generals could wear it.

And made a bronze heavy shield, replaced the original rattan shield, created a special bronze horse armor, cattle armor, strengthened the defense of the two cavalry, formed an instrument soldier, heavy infantry, and expanded the scale of the team.

The battle team swelled to 1,000 men, archers, shield men, sword and axe men, spearmen, grenadiers, horse cavalry, ox cavalry, crossbowmen, equipment soldiers, and heavy infantry, all of which were composed of 100 men and were well trained.

The captains and vice-captains of the ten teams are all peak flesh and blood warriors, three hundred flesh and bone warriors, and a thousand team of people work together, even three thousand warriors can't be shaken.

200 cattle and horses, 400 sheep and deer, 600 pigs, 2,000 chickens, 2,000 acres of fertile land, and an annual output of 300 catties of spiritual wheat.

The four ability warriors, more than once, persuaded the Wood Witch to order the dispatch of troops, no longer need to make offerings to the mountain tribe, but the Wood Witch did not send troops for a long time, and there was only one reason given, the tribe's cavalry did not have the strength yet.

They thought of the horse cavalry back then, in front of the petrified warriors of the mountain tribe, there was no effect, and they couldn't help but fall silent, the tribe's war horses were already very powerful, and they could carry a weight of eight hundred catties.

One-on-one, even if it is a petrified warrior, it is not as powerful as a war horse, but as long as the mountain tribe warriors join forces, the war horse cannot shake a single bit, except for a very few who have reached the barbarian species, the strength can be two thousand catties.

However, the number of barbarian war horses is too small, the promotion of beasts is too difficult, the tribe has raised so far, there are only a few heads, a large number of breeding is unrealistic, the strength of the war cattle is very large, and it can also reach two thousand catties.

But the speed of the fighting ox is too slow to form an effective impact, the ox and the horse have their own advantages, but also have their own shackles, if you want to strengthen the speed and strength, it is really too difficult, Mu Wu wants to find a good horse for the tribe, not a day or two.

The sheep deer is more flexible and fast, but the strength is too weak, and the forest has a tradition of domesticating the bighorn deer, which is only used for transportation. The boar has enough strength, but it is too slow and not as strong as an ox.

In fact, the tribe has a better choice, that is, three mutant jungle wolves, the three guys are already barbarians, have stopped growing and developing, their physical strength is two thousand catties, their speed is faster than that of war horses, and their endurance is long-lasting.

However, they are only a special case, it is by chance that they remain in the tribe, they are unique and cannot be replicated, and the tribe has not tried to domesticate lions, tigers, wolves, leopards, and even cave bears.

Without exception, they all failed.

The aggressiveness of carnivorous beasts far exceeds that of herbivorous beasts, and if they can be domesticated successfully and turned into mounts, they will definitely be able to greatly increase the attack power of tribal cavalry, and correspondingly, the more difficult their training will be.

Just like a herbivore, no matter how fragrant your meat is, it will still disdain it, and a carnivore will not eat your fat and tender grass, and the beast will not be indifferent to the extremely attractive phantom fruit of the herbivore.

The tribe has tried to raise cubs, but there are few successful examples, and even if there are successful ones, they will later erupt ferociously, launch an attack on the tribesmen, and be killed by the tribesmen helplessly, there is no way, those guys only eat meat, not phantom fruits.

Eighty years after the official establishment of the wood tribe, the three big wolves are also eighty years old, the life span of the brute beasts is long, they have just passed the growth period, if they can give birth, they will not bother with the wood witch, they can develop the tribe themselves.

Unfortunately, the three guys are all male and can't give birth to babies, if they can turn back to the she-wolf, they can do it, but a few mutated big wolves are far larger than normal jungle wolves, and they can't look down on petite she-wolves at all.

The problem of cavalry must be solved, until it is solved, the mountain tribe will not be able to move, others only know that the mountain tribe is strong, but the wood witch thinks more, the mountain tribe is not afraid, in the back, is a stronger forest Hou department!

In the eighty years, Mu Wu sat on the chariot of three wolves, with a hundred horse cavalry, a hundred archers, and a strange warrior, embarked on a journey to the west.

The primary purpose of this trip is to find a suitable mount, and the secondary purpose is to befriend the surrounding ethnic groups and strive to attract reinforcements.
