Chapter 92: The Grimest Time Has Arrived
"Mang, thank you so much for the gift today."
After Mu Bai's excitement subsided, she remembered that there was another person in the cave.
Of course, the end of this gift is that it is finally ground into powder.
Finally, it was put into a crucible made of clay by Mu Bai, and was burned with charcoal, and finally the red copper was revealed.
During the whole process, Mang not only watched the whole process, but even operated it himself.
After all, grinding malachite into powder is not a job that ordinary people are casually qualified for.
During this time, his expression fluctuated slightly, but it was so fast that it passed in a blink of an eye, and Mu Bai didn't notice anything different.
……
In the next few months of the rainy season, the Yanlong tribe is peaceful.
The fortifications outside the camp have been completed, and high guard towers have been erected.
The configuration of arrows made out of bones in batches, and the configuration of a bow and arrow in each person, instantly increased the combat effectiveness of the entire tribe by several levels.
After the Yanlong tribe has a safe campsite, it has a new atmosphere.
Although it can only live in caves, it already has the rudiments of a primitive village.
Winter goes to spring.
As the wind and snow that come from time to time gradually stopped, the temperature on the plains gradually rose.
"Is the snow melting?"
The person who pays the most attention to the change of temperature every day is none other than Mu Bai.
"Wu, it's already melting, and it doesn't take long to see the mud!"
The person who helps Mu Bai observe the temperature change every day is Wu Yuan, which was originally a boring observation experiment, but because of Mu Bai's attention, she is meticulous every day.
And all of them were carved into the wood with a knife.
"It's good to see that the rainy season is coming to an end!" As Wu Yuan spoke, his mind had already begun to imagine the situation when the spring flowers bloomed.
Stung in the rainy season all day, even though they trained every day, the idleness that came out of the cracks in their bones seemed to make the whole person stiff.
And the taste of the jerky is really a little greasy.
Thinking of this, Wu Yuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Even in the ancestral land of the Sunrise Forest before, I had never heard of anyone who was tired of eating dried meat!
That's nice.
She couldn't help but raise her head and look at the delicate figure in the corner.
It's all because there are witches in their tribe!
"Yes, the rainy season is coming to an end, but it's also the worst time for the edgelands!"
As soon as Wu Yuan's words fell, a voice came up.
"Mang, why do you say that now is the worst time for the Marginals?"
Wu Yuan asked puzzled as he stared at the visitor.
Although she was puzzled, there was not much fear on her face.
Think about this rainy season, they have migrated all the way, overcome many difficulties, and even seen the true face of the third-level fierce beast.
Even if Mang said 'the most severe', Wu Yuan didn't take it seriously.
Mu Bai only tilted her head when she heard this, she knew that Mang would give a detailed explanation later.
She then began to fiddle with the copper nuggets in her hand again.
Red copper is too soft to make bulky items.
If you don't find some tin and improve the red copper into bronze, in fact, their advantages are not obvious.
It seems that when the ice and snow melt and the weather gets warmer, she will have to go to the Chiyan tribe in person.
Let's hope there's tin ore there.
"Wu, Mang! There are wandering tribes outside, robbing things! ”
Before Mang could speak, suddenly the sound of a bull came from outside.
Although his voice was loud, he didn't hear much urgency.
But Mang couldn't sit still, and ran out in a hurry.
"Hey, I haven't said how bad it is!" Wu Yuan waited for a long time, but he didn't get the following anxious shouting in the back.
"Why don't you go and see? I guess what he feared has already happened. ”
Mu Bai said unhurriedly.
This rainy season is too long.
The Yanlong tribe tossed for a long time before they barely settled down.
After receiving all the reserve dry food from the original Mountain Cliff tribe, and going to the Chiyan tribe to exchange for a lot of dried meat, everyone barely managed not to go hungry.
Just think about it.
It is not difficult to imagine what kind of life those wandering tribes who have no place of their own and no fixed place to live this rainy season!
Now it's gone!
And it's time for the beasts outside that have been dormant for a winter to wake up from their hibernation.
Then comes the breeding season, and both humans and animals are in dire need of nutrition.
If it weren't for these dangerous factors, why would she have to build fortifications in the cold of winter, even if she consumed some more jerky?
However, when Wu Yuan ran out in a hurry, she didn't say it clearly.
Sure enough, it didn't take much effort, and she came back leisurely.
"Look at the quick temper of the bull, I thought it was a big deal!"
As soon as I sat down when I came back, I couldn't wait to start complaining about the bull.
"It's just a few skinny homeless people outside, just fight out, is it worth his fanfare?"
"He's just here to report the news." Mu Bai said softly.
"When I went, everyone ran away, what else do I need to report?"
Utsu still didn't understand.
"Think about it, there are only a few people here today, but there are only a few of them in the edge of the land who are so hungry that they have nothing to eat now?"
Anyway, being idle is also idle, and Mu Bai rarely has the patience to enlighten her step by step.
"Wu, you mean, how many of them are here to explore the way? There will be a lot of people coming next, planning to steal our food? ”
Wu Yuan's brain has always been flexible, and after listening to only one word, she immediately understood.
Although she is not very old, she is also an aboriginal in the Mangyuan, and she still has a minimum sense of crisis, but her tribe has no worries about food and clothing these days, and she is a little slack.
"Well, the original mountain cliff tribe is the largest tribe in the marginal lands, and it has long been famous, and all the people of the wandering tribe probably think that only here can they find food."
"Hey, the original mountain cliff tribe is notorious, aren't they afraid of death?"
"They're dying anyway, so what does it matter if you're afraid or not? Wuyuan, you haven't been hungry, have you forgotten the taste of hunger? ”
"At this time, even if you only give one hope, people dare to work hard!"
Wu Yuan couldn't help but shiver!
Indeed, the time has come to the most severe!
"But don't worry too much."
Mu Bai saw that he had frightened the little girl, and had to speak to appease him.
"Didn't you complain the other day? Let them line up and practice every day. ”
"What are you doing when you practice? Wouldn't that come in handy? ”
"And around our camp, the wooden stakes that are fenced, and when you see the people of the wandering tribe who come to grab things, you only need to release arrows from a distance, and there is no need to go out and fight hard, who wants them to fight hard?"
