Chapter 39: The Troglodyte Tribe
After thinking for a moment, he put his hand on the tree next to him, and when Daniel raised his hand, there was already a thick wooden stick in his hand, which was carved with simple but mysterious patterns. This is the standard for Minotaur sacrifices, a totem pole.
Of course, this time it's not like the last time I coaxed the Minotaur tribe, and it didn't do much to look like it. He didn't communicate with the high priest in vain, at least he learned a few simple witchcraft, and he could be regarded as a minotaur priest.
Although it is not very powerful, it can prove to be a sacrifice.
Orient yourself and walk cautiously, and soon a village appears in front of you. Standing alone, all made up of low thatched huts.
After wandering outside for a long time, Daniel finally saw the figure of the villager.
Less than half his height, short and thin, about the size of a malnourished, hunched over chimpanzee.
Daniel was surprised to find that it was a troglodyte tribe.
There are many races in the underworld, such as halflings, cavemen, minotaurs, dark elves, crypt eyes, etc., so many that Daniel can't count them. But cavemen are recognized as the lowest race.
Even if the goblins gathered too much, they dared to rob the caravan, but the cavemen did not even have the courage to defend their homeland. It is said that even in the face of goblins, the cavemen did not dare to resist and let them rob them. It can be seen how bad they are, and they can only be enslaved.
If it weren't for the talent of farming, and the protection of the dark elves, I am afraid that they would all have the possibility of extinction.
No wonder such a poor race is all low thatched huts, and it is a luxury to be able to live, do you expect them to enjoy it? The protection of the Dark Elves from them is not unconditional.
In fact, in the chaotic underworld, no race has any good intentions. The reason why the dark elves sheltered the cavemen was simply because they saw their talent for farming and wanted the cavemen to grow enough food for them.
In the absence of resistance, the cavemen were taxed at eighty percent. More than eighty percent of the crops harvested in the field were to be handed over to the dark elves, leaving only more than ten percent of the grain to survive. Countless cavemen starve to death every year.
Under such circumstances, it is said that cavemen have evolved a very good ability, which allows them to barely survive by eating grass.
The poor caveman was tired and tired of growing food, but he couldn't eat it.
Daniel silently mourned for them, turned and carried the totem pole into the tribe.
The poor cavemen, even if they had the protection of the dark elves, only protected them from a large number of deaths. Pedestrians passing by can enter the ** tribe at any time to ask for food and drink, as long as it does not cause a large number of casualties, no one will care.
Noticing Daniel's figure, a caveman shouted, and all the cavemen of the entire tribe ran out and fell to his knees beside Daniel. A caveman who appeared to be their patriarch knelt there, babbling a lot.
Daniel touched the horns on his head, as if it were the language of the ancient Arava Empire, so remote that even the official wizards known for their wisdom did not know the name.
Fortunately, there is a record in the library, and he also copied it into the chip by the way. in order to ensure communication with the troglodyte tribe.
"Honorable Minotaur, I wonder what happened to you entering our tribe?"
"Prepare something for me to eat. ”
Daniel opened his mouth to eat, but he was pitted by his mentor, and he was thrown here without any preparation, and he didn't eat for a long time, and his stomach was rumbling with hunger.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll help you prepare. ”
Taking advantage of their preparations, Daniel extracted a lot of useful information from them.
Of course, don't expect them to know what level of the Underworld this is, and what kind of information is about the distribution of forces around it.
With their abilities, life is a luxury. It is said that if it were not for their strong reproductive ability, even with the protection of the dark elves, the cavemen would be wiped out.
And now, with their super reproductive ability, the cavemen are the largest race in the underground world, outnumbering the other races combined.
The problem is that for them, it's not a good ability, at least to give the other races one more reason to treat them as food.
Whoever makes you reproduce too fast eats who you eat if you don't eat.
In such a situation, the underground world formed a consensus that if you are hungry, you will find the caveman to eat. If you dare to say no, you can eat the caveman directly.
Anyway, the caveman taste is okay, the chicken taste, crunchy. Unlike goblins, they are sour and unpalatable, and have a strange smell.
Daniel found that there was no power around their tribe. The reason why I know is because the caveman tribe turned out to be a wild tribe and was not protected by others. They also rarely see people passing by.
Soon the food was served, and it was a plate of cooked pasta, as well as a lot of barbecue. It looks like it's just finished grilling, and there are still grease stains coming out of it, and the smell is fragrant. Whet Daniel's appetite and eat and drink.
He was keenly aware of the longing eyes of the caveman next to him, and even the leader of the caveman swallowed these delicacies.
This further proves that these foods are rare delicacies in the caveman tribe. To the delight of Daniel.
When he was full of food and drink, he said, "Yes, you are very attentive, I will live in the grove to the east these days, you prepare food for me every day, don't worry, I will shelter you." ”
The caveman's face changed wildly, and just as he was about to speak, Daniel had already left, so he could only prepare with a bitter face. The food they prepared this time was painstaking, just to not offend Daniel and let him spare the tribe.
Now if Daniel lived here for a while, he would not impoverish the tribe.
Daniel went to the grove to the east and chose a place, thinking back to what he knew about witchcraft. Then the incantation was recited, and the trees around the incantation seemed to come to life, writhing around the trees in the middle one by one. Soon a treehouse was formed at a height of more than three meters above the ground.
Daniel stepped into it, then modified it with sorcery to create an elaborate treehouse.
Unlike ordinary apprentices, who have learned only a handful of witchcraft, Daniel has recorded countless witchcraft in the chip.
Although he only learned a few of the usual ones, other witchcraft could also be temporarily learned and performed when needed.
But that's barely with the help of chips. You don't expect anything to do in battle, it's good not to lose.
He then used sorcery to create an underground laboratory underground, and then stopped. He was pitted by his mentor, and if he wanted to explore the underground world, he had to at least prepare, but he was thrown over without preparing anything. If you act rashly, don't say anything about the harvest, you are more likely to die.
So he was going to stay in the caveman tribe for a while. At least what you've learned before.
