Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Great War Is Imminent

There was also a small episode in this, that is, after the bear hunted back to the camp, after seeing these canoes, he was overjoyed to see the hunter and wanted to try it.

It's just that his size is too big, and after entering the canoe, the waterline has risen a lot, and he can't grasp the essentials, so the canoe just keeps spinning in the lake, and he can't move forward.

In the end, it was the white wolf who got into the water and resisted the spinning canoe.

After this incident, the bear is completely indifferent to the canoe.

As more and more canoes were launched, the number of corpses on the lake was decreasing at a visible rate, but some of the corpses had been soaked in the water for too long and had sunk to the surface of the lake.

After all, these are not small amounts.

Xia Qi patted his head for the last time, preparing to make a few fishing nets.

It is not difficult to make fishing nets, the main material is rattan with wire rattan.

Wire rattan is actually the kind of rattan that was used to make slings in the previous summer, and there is a very tough, wire-like line in the center, hence the name.

This was during the training of the catapult troops, and the rattan was damaged, which leaked out the thread inside.

This kind of line is about a millimeter thick, but it is very tough, Xia Qi once tested, a line is enough to support dozens of pounds of weight.

Therefore, weaving fishing nets with wire rattan can greatly improve the service life of fishing nets.

And not only that, but this kind of thread can be braided into a strand and can also be used as a bowstring.

Xia Qi found a few ingenious women, and he planned to give the three of them the work of weaving fishing nets.

Xia Qi hadn't done this kind of thing before, but he hadn't eaten pork, so he hadn't seen a pig run?

He took a branch as a pen and drew the general structure of the fishing net on the ground, explaining to the women as he drew it. The overall structure of the fishing net is also simple, mainly because the fishing net is too complex and too detailed, and they can't do it now, and they don't have the technology or the conditions, so they can only make a simple one according to the gourd painting scoop.

According to what Xia Qi said, a few women groped up little by little, and when they had a clue, the next work would become easier and easier.

In the afternoon of the same day, several women came to Xia Qi with a large net.

[A "Fishing Net" appears in your civilization, gain 50 civilization points and 5 production points]

"Not bad. You continue to work hard and reward you with a grilled fish for each of you in the evening. ”

Although this fishing net looks very simple, and the mouth is a bit large, and slightly smaller fish will come out of it, but Xia Qi's purpose of making fishing nets in the first place was not for fishing.

The women were excited, not only because they had been complimented, but more importantly, because they had a snack in the evening.

Afterwards, Xia Qi handed the fishing net to the people on one of the canoes, and after hearing Xia Qi's command, they nodded thoughtfully.

Subsequently, they began their first casting of nets.

The first time they cast their nets, they did not catch the carcasses of wild beasts, but caught a net full of fish.

Although the gap in the fishing net is very large, there are too many fish in this lake, and with the current number of Xia tribes, even if they eat for a thousand years, they can't eat them all. Among them, there are also a lot of big fish that are huge.

Probably because these fish have no natural predators, so they just eat and drink and grow taller.

The big guys were very excited about the fish they caught, after all, there were fish to eat.

But Xia Qi doesn't look very good-looking. This guy hates eating fish, and he really hates it to the core.

"Patriarch, the deer is back." At this time, someone came to Xia Qi's side and said like him.

"Well, let him come."

"Yes." When the man heard this, he turned and called the deer.

A few minutes later, the weather-covered deer came over.

"Patriarch." He shouted at Xia Qi.

"Hmm." Xia Qi nodded and asked, "How is it?" ”

"I've already investigated, and those cannibals are still in that crack." The deer replied.

Because of Xia Qi's correction, Pan, the original people of the Blackstone tribe, have understood that those are not monsters, but people wearing wolf bone masks.

Human fear comes from the unknown.

When they learned that they were nothing more than living people like them, their fears diminished.

"Huh? So have their numbers decreased? ”

Lu shook his head and said, "No, I saw them perform a sacrifice with my own eyes, and a large number of people were pressed by the black below. ”

The deer's answer surprised Xia Qi very much, you must know that those people live in the cracks of the ground, and it rained so heavily some time ago, it stands to reason that they should suffer heavy losses.

Immediately Xia Qi remembered the stream again, although the water flow was not too large, but in the long run, a lot of water should accumulate in that crack, but the fact was that the ground was actually very dry.

This reminded Xia Qi of a possibility, perhaps, there was a big gap inside that crack, or even an underground river. Because that's the only way to be able to explain.

Xia Qi's heart couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately he asked the deer to check in advance, otherwise, it was very likely that he would suffer a big loss when he was careless.

That's right, Xia Qi is already ready to deal with that cannibal tribe.

After this period of development, the total population of the tribe has exceeded 500, making it one of the largest tribes in the vicinity. There are more than 200 young adults with combat effectiveness.

After this period of overtime, the ordnance department has also accumulated a lot of weapons and equipment, and it is time to deal with the cannibal tribe.

Otherwise, it will be like the sword of Damocles hanging above his head, and sooner or later it will become Xia Qi's heart disease.

Early the next morning, leaving fifty warriors to watch the house, Xia Qi set off with the remaining one hundred and seventy warriors.

At this time, the Xia tribe can be said to be strong and strong, each wearing leather armor and holding weapons in their hands.

The bear carried two huge short axes in his hands, the handles of which were made of iron birch.

The white wolf is holding an axe, to put it bluntly, it is to add a spear tip on the basis of the long axe, such a weapon, rather chopping can also pierce. Needless to say, the handle of this axe is also made of iron birch.

And Pan, this talent that Xia Qi also fancies, has been transferred to a long-range unit at this time, specializing in the slinger troops.

Pan's force value is not high, and the ranged class is a very correct choice for him.

The river that had once dried up had now been refilled with water, and the turbid waves were empty, so everyone had to walk on the shore.

Fortunately, after the baptism of the flash flood, all the low trees on the banks have disappeared.

When everyone walked out of the mountains and forests and came to the grassland, the path that Xia Qi and them walked on had completely disappeared, leaving not even a trace.

Fortunately, there was a scout with a deer, and he led a group of people to shuttle through the wild grass.

However, I can't reach that tribe today, and I can only sleep in the wilderness at night.

However, this time Xia Qi was well prepared, not only did everyone have barbecue jerky to eat, but even prepared bedding. It's just that Xia Qi didn't rest well at night.

The bear's snoring shook Xia Qi's brain into a buzzing sound.

But soon he got used to it, and slept soundly with his back against the bear.

Early the next morning, after eating, everyone continued on their way.

At noon, the team finally felt the crack in front of the ground, but Xia Qi did not choose to attack directly, but prepared to get up.

He had the bear and the wolf lead the men to ambush at the exit of the crack in the ground, and the others were tasked with collecting hay and fixing it in a ball.

Xia Qi remembered that this cannibal tribe had the habit of sacrificing in the evening.

The time unconsciously came to the evening, and sure enough, the people of this cannibal tribe did not know where they all came from, gathered in the square in front, and soon became a black and oppressive piece.

As the new priest prayed, the other cannibals all knelt on the ground reverently, motionless.

"Ready—ignition!"

Xia Qi gave an order, and the clansmen's two flints intersected with each other and burst into sparks, and the grass scrolls quickly burned, and then they were pushed into the cracks in the ground.

Some of the fireballs rolled into the crowd, while others dispersed directly halfway through.

These cannibals all entered their spiritual world, temporarily forgetting their bodies, and the long chanting resounded through the cracks, looking both sacred and terrifying.

As the fireball rolled down, Pan began to attack with the slingling troops, fist-sized pebbles raining down.

There are so many of them in the creek that they are worthless.

A dense rain of stones rained down on the people who were still worshipping. Slingers, this ancient class of troops has a very good effect, as long as a person is hit by a pebble, no matter where it is on the body, it is a serious injury.

Some people looked up at the crack in the ground, they obviously saw Xia Qi and the others on the crack, and they also saw their companions who were smashed on the ground, but even so, they only glared at Xia Qi and the others, but they did not stop their sacrificial activities.

The cannibals' eyes soon turned blood-red, as the deaths and injuries of their companions grew worse and worse, and the hateful people continued to blaspheme their gods.

"Awulu !!"

When the sacrifice was finally over, a man in a wolfskin mask roared, and the cannibals who had been prostrate on the ground bounced up from the ground like springs, and each of them ran purposefully, and by the time they turned back again, they had become fully armed warriors.

They seemed to be fearless, facing the pebbles like raindrops, and some of them climbed this stone wall to attack Xia Qi and them directly. Others, they wanted to leave from the exit, preparing to outflank Xia Qi and them.

Unfortunately, they met a bear and a white wolf who had been waiting for a long time.

Looking at the crowd running towards them, the bear did not retreat but approached, and rushed directly into the crowd of cannibals.
