Chapter 16: The Barbarians Leave the Mountains (Ask for Recommendations)
It snowed heavily for six days in a row.
The fist-sized hailstones were sandwiched with snow better than goose feathers, constantly whipping the millions of mountains and the surrounding areas around them.
If it were in previous years, the city south of the mountain had already begun to die.
The small number of people left will be subtracted from at least half of the population.
But this year is different.
This year's snow moon in Manshan is exceptionally cold, but the border city in the south of the mountain is also extraordinarily prosperous.
Once there is popularity, this disaster... It's not that difficult.
The people outside the million barbarian mountains are still struggling and struggling in the bitter cold, and the barbarians inside the million barbarian mountains will face even more suffering.
"My Abba said that every year the snow moon and the hot moon are the most precious gifts that the barbarian gods have given to us barbarians, although they are cruel. But it left the barbarian mountain firmly to us barbarians. If we lose the protection of the Snow Moon and the Flame Moon, we barbarians will lose our last hunting ground and become someone else's prey. With a rare solemn expression, the looked at the snow flying outside the window.
He was worried about his people.
Even this year's Snow Moon is a rare time of abundance for the Tianyan Sparrow.
But this harsh cold is still not friendly to the vast majority of living beings.
"The newborn children of every tribe will be wrapped in thick animal skins on the coldest night, and then thrown into the wasteland, alone in the wind and snow. The next morning, his relatives were able to pick him up. And those who didn't make it through... They all returned to the arms of the Aragami. The Aragami did not give them the ability to survive in these millions of barbarian mountains. The babbled.
When he spoke in his own language, it was as if the whole person was not so stupid.
Lin Xi stretched out his hand to the fire, and then retracted his hand from time to time and put it to his mouth to breathe.
It turns out that Qi training is not a panacea.
Although after the ignition of negative emotions, Lin Xi's cultivation was steadily advancing at this time, and he had reached the tenth level of Qi training, and he could actively prepare to break through and build a foundation.
But compared to the barbarians who can resist the cold with their physical bodies, Lin Xi's bit of true qi can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket in the face of the all-pervasive cold of nature, and it doesn't matter what it is at all.
The was worried about his people.
Lin Xi had already let his heart fly to the depths of the Million Barbarian Mountains.
Ordinary people at this time, unless they have already cultivated to the realm of Jindan, or have been successful in physical training, and have the physical quality of no less than that of adult barbarians, they will not set foot in the barbarian mountain.
A team of barbarians from the Mountain Flame Sparrow Department was escorting the materials that Lin Xi had 'raised' for them, and rushed back to the tribe in a hurry.
The battle began suddenly.
The barbarians of two different tribes were eyeing the transport team of the Mountain Flame Sparrow at the same time.
On the basis of the huge disparity in numbers and the early ambush, the battle ended quickly.
The barbarians of two different tribes each snatched a part of the material, and then quickly left the battlefield.
Wait until reinforcements from the Mountain Flame Sparrow Department arrive.
All I saw was the corpses of my compatriots... Even the animal skins and some simple cloth clothes that the corpses were wearing were stripped clean.
Barbarians are not accustomed to reasoning.
Someone invaded their hunting grounds, someone robbed them of their survival resources.
Then there is only one answer!
Kill back!
Snow Moon··· The smell of blood began to fill the air.
When the snow fell on the thirteenth day, three barbarians rode out of the mountain on giant rock sheep.
They brought news that Lin Xi was happy to hear.
Barbarians don't like to use their brains, and that doesn't mean that all of them don't have brains.
In these seven bloody days, it was originally just a battle between the Mountain Flame Sparrow Department and the Mountain Flame Wolf Department that sneaked up and robbed the material, as well as the Mountain Cold Snake Tribe, but as the situation developed, four or five more tribes were involved one after another.
There are indeed many barbarian tribes in the million barbarian mountains.
However, the several barbarian tribes involved belong to the medium and large tribes in the barbarian mountains.
If we continue to fight, it will be an unmanageable situation.
The three barbarians saw Lin Xi and kissed the land beneath Lin Xi's feet with great etiquette for the barbarians.
They implored Lin Xi to enter the Million Barbarian Mountains and go to the tribal assembly of the barbarians to discuss the cooperation of the major tribes and the opening of trade routes together.
After listening to the barbarian's request.
Facing the expectant eyes of the chickadees on the side, Lin Xi only said one word.
"Cooperation, you can... Let them come down, the old man is old and weak, his body is sick, and he can't enter the mountain when the snow is moon. ”
It looks like hypocrisy.
In fact, it is a question of initiative.
What's more... Lin Xi wanted to force the barbarians out and let them take the initiative to go down the mountain.
It's not mountain treasures and, scattered trips down the mountain to see the world.
Rather, it was massive, orderly, and subject to the arrangement and dispatch of his Linxi descending the mountain.
The three barbarians went back with Lin Xi's message.
Waited another three days.
In the snow forest less than ten miles away from the border city, there are many more rock sheep, bighorn deer and even eagles.
In the snow forest, there are still many barbarians.
Most of them have dense tattoos on their bodies.
This is a symbol of their strength, status, status.
The barbarians are finally still... It's downhill!
Even barbarians are inevitably tempted by profit.
In the past, they did not agree to trade with outsiders, because the merchants repeatedly squeezed the interests of the barbarians, so that the barbarians felt that it was no longer necessary to cooperate with outsiders.
But now, Lin Xi is here, and everything is guaranteed.
'Fair' trade, a large amount of material necessary for survival, which made it impossible for the barbarians to resist.
Even the leaders of some tribes are conservative and reluctant to go down the mountain.
Their clansmen will also use all kinds of 'strange' eyes, constantly urging and pushing them, and they have to go down the mountain.
At this time, Lin Xi was also wrapped in a thick coat made of fire bear skin sent by the barbarians, and stood in the wind and snow on horseback.
Waiting and welcoming the barbarians down the mountain.
Behind Lin Xi, there are a large number of long-awaited 'merchants', who are basically the doormen of the major wealthy families, and the merchants who are wealthy all over the world, mostly serving the powerful.
Only a very small part of their money belongs to them, and even more... It still belongs to the master behind them.
So, their business is not just their own business.
The tricks of the wealthy and powerful to do business can be described as simple and crude.
Contribute the capital, give the manpower, point the direction, and liquidate the interest income every month, regardless of the reason, regardless of the process, and the money that should be divided is not allowed to be less.
Whoever is less will be slashed out.
Therefore, for these merchants, these barbarians who came down the mountain were not only a moving mountain of gold, but also a life-saving medicine and the fruit of eternal life.
"Welcome, my friend. Lin Xi welcomed the sacrifice head of the Tianyan Sparrow Sect in the barbarian language that he was already proficient in.
The priest said in a clear and clear voice, "Thank you, our friend, for everything you have done for us, we have come to solve the problem." ”
Subsequently, a large number of barbarians were welcomed into the border city.
The border city was dilapidated, and there was no place for so many tall barbarians to gather together.
However, now Lin Xi is not only rich, but also more talented.
So everything is not a problem.
In just three days, a huge wooden house was erected in the north corner of the border city.
Although the wooden houses are simple, the barbarians do not feel bad.
After all, the house they live in is not even half the standard of this wooden house.
Wine and meat were served again, and a charcoal fire was lit, and the atmosphere in the house began to become cheerful.
Lin Xi has already had a belly case.
As for the plan prepared before, he described it to the barbarians and many merchants one by one.
For the barbarians, the simpler the better.
Therefore, Lin Xi just explained to them, 'what we need' and 'what they need to give', and at the same time proposed that the many barbarian tribes participating in this gathering should contribute to organize a barbarian team that transports materials into and out of the mountain, and he Lin Xi will temporarily take the command, until they can jointly put out a real barbarian leader who trusts each other.
And for those businessmen from major wealthy families, Lin Xi has more requirements.
Not only are they classified, but they are also meticulous to the extreme.
I asked for a lot of favors.
The face of differential treatment can be seen at a glance.
It's just that these businessmen still have to stammer with Lin Xi, and they don't dare to offend.
In the past, Lin Xi only held an 'opportunity' in his hands.
Therefore, although they are respectful on the surface, they all secretly have ghosts in their hearts, and there are many people who are false and wronged.
Not to mention anything else, Lin Xi proposed before that crowdfunding a large amount of materials to send warmth to the barbarian compatriots, and many representatives of wealthy families, although they verbally agreed to the pleasure, not only seized the share, but when they delivered the materials, they dragged the deficit for various reasons, which was very unpleasant.
And now, those who are a little more flexible know that... The wind direction has completely changed.
In the hands of Wen Yuanxiang (Lin Xi), he has a real iron fist.
With a team of barbarians with incredible combat effectiveness and home advantage, Lin Xi can kick anyone out of this upcoming feast at any time.
Among the millions of wild mountains, there are treasures everywhere.
All kinds of precious ores, all kinds of precious herbs, animal skins, all kinds of strange spirit animals...
And so on, it's so eye-catching. No one is willing to give up.
Under the chairmanship of Lin Xi, the conference went very smoothly.
But in most of the day, everything was negotiated.
The barbarians are very reliable.
Something that is decided on the day.
Implementation began the next day.
The warriors who were drawn out by the major tribes to form the transportation team were also top elites, and they were by no means perfunctory.
In total, the first batch of barbarian warriors reported in Lin Xi's hands totaled nine hundred and thirty-one people.
Although the number of people is not very large, these barbarians with an average height of about three meters, when a battle breaks out, they can swell to close to five meters, if they really launch a madness, thousands of people, or even tens of thousands of people, will not be able to stop them.
And when Lin Xi dressed them in iron armor covering vital points and iron heavy weapons, the combat effectiveness of this team soared even further, making people feel terrified when they looked at them from afar.
