Chapter 268: Preparing to Steal Stones

"Divine envoy, when are you going to go to the black feather?"

Stone comes to ask almost every day, and since the successful refining of bronze, the stone has developed a huge interest in it, especially the tribe has felt the advanced nature of bronze weapons, bronze is like a cat scratch to stone.

And in the winter, Song Xuan also said that he would take people to the Wuyu tribe to find a way to get some bronze ore back this year, but it has been so long since the beginning of spring, but there has been no movement for a long time, and the stone is naturally a little anxious.

However, it's not that Song Xuan doesn't want to go, it's just that there are not enough people in the tribe, before that, he ran a few times from the south, north and south, and after he came back, he put himself into the reclamation of the rice fields, and then transferred some manpower, and the speed was naturally not able to catch up with before, of course, this is also a necessary arrangement.

After all, planting rice is the top priority in the tribe, but fortunately, after half a month of busyness, more than 100 rice fields have been completely cleaned up.

Although the size of each paddy field is different, it is basically three to five acres, and the more than 100 paddy fields add up to more than 400 acres.

The rest don't have to be too anxious, there is no big problem with these 400 acres to meet the needs of the tribe, of course, the rest of the people naturally have time to turn it over, and if you reclaim one more acre, there will be more grain in the tribe.

At this time, the temperature is still some time before the seedlings are planted, so you can take advantage of this time to go to the Wuyu tribe to see if you can get some ore back.

The bronze weapons in the tribe are still limited to the few that were built last winter, and although they are used every day, they are definitely not enough, and there are only a dozen of them.

And once the bronze weapon is used, and then you want everyone to use the weapon polished out of the stone or bone, it is completely impossible to go back, the gap between the two sides is too big, not a magnitude of the thing at all, the bronze is not only sharp, but also very wear-resistant, cut on a small half a day and re-polish it twice and then return to the original, and from the appearance, there is basically not much wear, unlike bones and stones, after each polishing, it will be a lot smaller.

Of course, the most important thing is efficiency, holding a bronze axe to chop tree roots in the rice field, the results of half a day are beyond the reach of ordinary stone axes in two days.

Everyone sees this gap, but after all, the number of weapons in the tribe is relatively small, so naturally everyone can't do it.

However, he is generally not in such a hurry as a stone, he comes to ask Song Xuan every day, Song Xuan also feels that it is almost time to be able to set off, and if it is delayed, the time required to go back and forth may be convenient for planting rice, and there is some overlap, no matter what, rice is the top priority in the tribe, and everything depends on him.

Shi didn't know what it was, Song Xuan had discussed this matter with the leaders of the tribe many times, and last night he also determined the specific time and manpower, looking at him very anxious, Song Xuan said:

"Go back and pack up, and we'll leave tomorrow!"

Originally, he didn't have much hope, but when he suddenly received such a positive reply, Shi Shi's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Song Xuan with an incredulous expression.

"Oracle...... This ......"

Seeing that the stone was still suspicious, Song Xuan glared and said:

"What are you lying to!"

got a positive reply, and the stone didn't touch this brow, when even if he ran out happily, it seemed that he was going back to pack his things, the reason why Song Xuan was reluctant to tell the stone in advance was because he was afraid that he would be distracted by this, and he was not so focused on other things, and now that it was almost time to really set off, there was no need to continue to hide it.

Although the bronze ore is very important to the Teng Snake, after all, it is to go to the vicinity of the Black Feather Tribe, the danger is still very huge, even if there is a person to lead the way, it must not be taken lightly, especially if the person who leads the way is still a captive of the Black Feather Tribe, it is difficult to avoid that they will have additional thoughts.

So this time, Teng Snake was also fully prepared, except for Shi Meng's left-behind tribe, the other big leaders and two leaders all set off with Song Xuan, the team composed of this leader alone was luxurious enough, and at the same time, the manpower used to protect Song Xuan could not be less, there were forty people.

Coupled with several major leaders, as well as Song Xuan, Shi Shi and others, they are basically half of the adult males in the tribe, and such a team is not very capable of being carried by ordinary small tribes, of course, it is still very dangerous if you really want to run into the Wuyu tribe.

However, this is already the largest number of people that Teng Snake can draw out at present, and if there are more, it will be a little difficult for the tribe to operate, after all, there are still a lot of people left to guard and capture them, and at the same time, the collection cannot be left behind.

This trip is completely completed by the tribe abandoning the current small scale of hunting, after all, there are more people, so the cost of a trip is also very huge, if you can't bring back enough income or encounter danger, it is tantamount to a catastrophe for the snake.

Therefore, everyone attaches great importance to this trip, first of all, the preparation of natural weapons, the long contradiction card is almost a piece of hand, especially the shield, everyone is required to bring it, and after departure, it must be held in the hand at all times.

In addition, the slings that have not been used much in the tribe have also been tied to the waist, after all, this thing is the only weapon in the tribe that can measure a large amount of food, and almost everyone will use it, although the proportion in the hunt is not large, but it is usually used for competitions or to pass the time is quite good, especially the children like to take it to catch birds, and the harvest is not bad.

Wearing a sling, at least you can ensure that you have enough long-range weapons, although there are already bows and arrows in the tribe, but the bow and arrows are still a little bulky compared to the slings, just that huge bow is not easy to carry, let alone arrows, of course, the power of the bow and arrow is definitely greater than the sling, it can only be said that the two have their own application scenarios.

This time there are a lot of people who use bows and arrows, there are twelve people, which is naturally led by Shi Yu, each of them has prepared thirty arrows, of course, those who have the ability will stuff a few more, after all, it is possible to encounter any situation after going out, once you insist on not being able to recover it in time, each additional arrow will increase the hope of survival.

In addition to weapons, the armor is also well prepared, but fortunately, the weather is not hot at the moment, everyone will wear a layer of animal skin, just this layer of animal skin can simply make a preliminary defense against the body, of course, it is the rattan armor prepared by Shi Ban for everyone.

Since the rattan armor was made, it has not been used on a large scale, mainly because it is a bit troublesome to wear it when hunting, and it is not used in summer, and it looks a little bloated in winter, and it will be worn when it really encounters the enemy, just like the last time it faced the black wolf coalition, there are still many people who wear the rattan armor, but it is just a simple small vest.

Although the defensive effect of the rattan armor is very good, it is not easy to spread in the tribe, and even Song Xuan is not very willing to walk around wearing this bulky thing, it looks majestic, but after wearing it, his body is indeed not as dexterous as before.

Although I have created a few very complete rattan armors before, I gradually only weave the cuirass, although I can only protect the core places behind the chest, but it is also easier to accept, and the impact after wearing it is not so great, and it will not affect all kinds of actions too much.

This time, all those who have rattan armor are required to wear them before they can set off, as for those who don't have rattan armor, they can only make a simple one temporarily, Song Xuan and Shi Ban came up with an idea, that is, to weave a single-layer small square with rattan, and use animal skin strips to connect the front and back, so that it can also block the chest and abdomen.

Although the effect will not be as good as the increase achieved alone, but with the animal skin worn, it is not so easy to penetrate, even if it penetrates, the damage will be reduced a lot, and it may be that the original fatal blow is only injured after a series of buffers.

And the price paid by everyone is nothing more than a piece of stuff on the chest, which will be a little uncomfortable to wear at first, but I believe that after getting used to it, it is almost difficult to detect the existence of this thing, after all, there is a layer of animal skin clothes inside.

In addition to weapons and defensive equipment, other things are daily necessities, which are carried even if they usually go out hunting, but this time the journey is longer, and there are slightly more things to carry, but it is not completely carried by manpower.

These horses captured from the hands of the dark clouds last year can really be used this time, and they can also bring people and goods from the black feather tribe to Teng Snake, so it is not a problem to walk back from here.

Although the horses are larger than the deer, they are much better than the deer and the ox, and although the road is mountainous and hilly, it is not a problem to let them camel some goods.

With these horses, they can be responsible for food, most of them only bring three or five days of rations per person, although the journey is longer, and there are more materials to carry, but as long as the food burden is solved, the rest is basically not a problem for the snake people, and they can easily carry it, and some animal skin weapons are heavy.

As for the pots and bowls, they are still in accordance with the arrangement of daily hunting, every ten people are responsible for bringing a pot, of course, the bowl is still their own back, usually the pots and bowls will be wrapped with a cover, even if it is walking in the forest, it is not so easy to break, and then prepare some and leave it for redundancy, and the materials are basically ready.
