"Divine Messenger, it should be in front!"

"Okay, everyone, hurry up, try to be there before sunset!"

After approaching this area, Song Xuan and his party slowed down, mainly for safety reasons, and more than a dozen people in the team walked around, in addition to exploring the road in advance, other directions were also taken into account, and the range even covered more than two miles around.

Although the distance is not particularly far, as long as the enemy is found, it can also notify the large army through a code signal at the first time, although the team is only more than 40 people, if you can be prepared, the combat effectiveness is still very strong.

Shui Yun had already figured out the road ahead just now, and there were no people from the Black Feather tribe in the place where the ore was, and according to his observation, no one had come to this area recently.

This shows that at least this year, the Black Feather Tribe has not come over, if nothing else, only need to arrange people to keep an eye on the route where the Black Feather Tribe comes, and the safety aspect is almost the same.

"Whew~"

Looking at the messy pile of stones not far away, Song Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After walking for so many days, he finally arrived here safely, and after arriving at the location, everyone also scattered very professionally, surveying the surrounding situation, and making arrangements at the same time, without Song Xuan's orders, Shi Yong had already led people to start arranging traps, especially in the direction where the Wuyu tribe was located, so that even if it suddenly collided, Teng Snake could also delay it by various means, and strive for time to escape, of course, if the number of enemies is not large, the offensive and defensive momentum will naturally be reversed at that time.

This time he came with bronze knives, and there were not a lot of them, so it would be much easier to set up traps, and at the same time, Song Xuan also asked Shi Yong to lead people to cut down some wood and weave a simple rejection horse with animal skin ropes.

Although it is impossible to have a large pile of cavalry in the forest, as long as the sides of it are nailed deep into the ground, it will cause some obstacles to the advancing people at that time, and some traps will be arranged in front and back, and the effect is still very good.

Although the time is not early, but the safety must not be sloppy, especially the people of the Black Feather tribe may come over at any time, although they do not know how to refine bronze, but even if they just choose some ores and directly make them into weapons, the power is much better than that of ordinary stones.

I believe that the current Wuyu tribe is still very lacking in weapons, after all, the current manpower is not very sufficient, and even a little nervous, if you want to maintain a certain strength, you can only start from this aspect.

However, Song Xuan was not ready to stay here for long, as soon as he came to this stone field, he was attracted by the chaotic environment, there were not many tall trees around, and there were stones of different sizes scattered everywhere on the ground, although it didn't look as good as the ores removed from the weapons captured before, but it definitely contained a lot of copper, which may not be able to be used by the people of the Wuyu tribe, but it was a rare good treasure on the side of the Teng Snake.

However, this time the purpose was not just these ores, after all, a single copper ore could not be used to refine bronze well, so when they were cleaning up these ores, Song Xuan and Shi Shi also told others to pay more attention to ores with special colors.

According to the current situation, this piece should be a bare stone mine on the surface, and the Wuyu tribe was lucky enough to discover the special use of stones, and then developed a little to clear the trees on the surface, and at the same time looked for some suitable ores to bring back to make weapons, but there are not many ores suitable for weapons, so I dug a little when I was looking for it, but I think there should be nothing to take advantage of, mainly digging on the surface.

Although Teng Snake has begun to use bronze, he has not made anything like a head. Okay, there are a lot of ores directly exposed to the surface at present, and Song Xuan doesn't care about the quality, he will bring it back first, at least it doesn't seem that the content is too low.

There are two main purposes for finding bronze ore this time, one is to bring back enough ore, at least to meet the needs of everyone who says he has a bronze weapon, and of course, the other purpose is to find out how bronze is made, not always by luck like last year.

Song Xuan still knew that bronze was a copper-tin alloy, but the specific proportion in it was unknown, but fortunately, when picking up ore, everyone also found a gray-white stone one after another, although Song Xuan was not completely sure, but at least visually it was still very similar.

At the same time, Song Xuan also found that although it was only a part of the scattered on the surface, the ore was still clean, except for some red stones, it was mainly copper-containing ore, and there was a small amount of tin ore, of course, if the kind of stone that everyone found was indeed tin.

The ore is so easy to mine, but it also saves a lot of trouble, just being abandoned by the people of the Black Feather tribe should be enough for more than twenty people to carry, but since they have already come, they naturally want to bring more back.

When it was dark, the stones scattered on the ground had already gathered together, looking at the ore pile in front of him, Song Xuan also laughed unconsciously, this pile alone was already seven or eight times more than the one seized last year, if all of them could be turned into bronze, they would definitely be able to make a lot of weapons.

However, compared to this, there are many fewer stones that could be tin ore, and they all add up to only two large bags.

It's a pity that the conditions here are limited, and it can't be refined on the spot, otherwise, it would be much easier to experiment here, and when I was in the tribe, the stones had already been tried, and charcoal alone could not completely melt these ores, and it was necessary to use blast furnaces and blowers.

However, in addition to these two kinds of stones, Song Xuan also selected two other stones that may be tin, copper ore basically does not need to be doubted, it can be directly distinguished by the color alone, but it is a matter of how much content, the pile in front of him is also carefully selected, and the surface will be accompanied by a piece of yellow, dark or light.

On the contrary, Song Xuan has always been unsure of tin ore, so he can only bring all the suspicious players, but fortunately, there are not too many stones.

Although Song Xuan also wanted to finish it that night, if he brought back enough ore, the remaining half was the most difficult to collect, most of the collected at this time were scattered on the surface, or stones that could be easily dug up, and the remaining ores were buried in the soil, and they were intertwined, so it was not easy to dig them out.

But I finally came out for a trip, and it took thirteen days to get here, although the next time I came back may be faster, but it is also necessary to press back twenty days to come, rather than wasting time on the road, it is better to get more when I come.

And Shi Yong also led people to arrange a lot of traps, just these traps cost a lot of manpower and time, naturally these traps can't be wasted, anyway, the people of the Black Feather tribe came over like this, they must be able to find this piece of people, these traps are not only to prevent the sudden arrival of the enemy, but also specially laid for them.

If they find out that someone has come here, it will naturally be much more dangerous in the future, so this is the first time to obtain enough ore, and then refine it after returning to improve the combat effectiveness of the tribe.

The ideal state is that most of the ore brought back can be used, and then all the Teng Snake people can be replaced with competent weapons, and then they will be able to take action against the Black Feather Tribe, and they will not worry about their actions all day long.

Of course, the ideal is always very beautiful, as for whether it can succeed, it still depends on the result after going back to refine, if there is no way to refine it into bronze, this time the operation can be regarded as a complete failure, which is why Song Xuan brought all the stones that looked like tin ore with him, the distance could not withstand such a failure.

In addition to the abundance of traps, there were many more sentry posts at night than usual, and even the charcoal brought from the tribe was used for cooking, adding some firewood when the fire was high, and the leaves were used to absorb most of the smoke.

There is only one purpose for this, that is, to attract as little attention as possible from the people around you before evacuating, so even now I sleep without lighting a bonfire, but fortunately the weather has warmed up, although the forest is dark, but it is better than no wind, and it is still acceptable to cover the animal skin.

In the next two days, Song Xuan and Teng Snake and the others were on the bars with these ores buried in the ground, although it was not easy to dig out, but it just needed to put in some more effort, but the efficiency was not comparable to the day they first came.

It is not uncommon for every stone to be dug up for a few minutes, ten minutes, or half an hour, so you have to make sure that it must be a usable stone before you start it.

Although the efficiency is a lot slower, the quality has improved a little, so it is not too much of a loss, after all, these ores need to be carried back, and the more refined metals the better.

Fortunately, the Wuyu tribe did not send people over in the past two days, and no one disturbed them, so everyone naturally worked hard to mine, and after two days, they had reached the limit of what everyone could do, although the more the better, but they also had to bring it back, in fact, enough ore had been dug up before dark, but Song Xuan didn't want to waste this time, so he simply dug more, and it was a big deal to find a hidden place to store it, and bring it back when he came next time, so that he could save time in the future.
