Chapter 29: The Ambitions of the Lu Tribe

What the!

Xia Tuo's words made several elders in the cave look stunned.

Why?

Why is that?

Looking at the puzzled expressions of several people in front of him, he didn't explain what it meant to be clumsy, and this time he got in touch with the Gale Ministry, and he couldn't hide it from the Lu tribe.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Ministry of Gale, the Lu tribe is not worth mentioning, or even just a tribe that provides salt.

However, the Lu tribe is backed by the Gale Department, and it is like a small overlord in this mountain wilderness, just from the fact that it dares to mix salt from the sand and control the salt supply of the tribes living in dozens of mountains within a radius, it can be seen that it is generally a shrunken Gale Ministry.

To put it mildly, being a dog also has to be qualified to be a dog, in the vast mountains and wilderness of the southern region of the Wangu Mountains, there are more tribes living in it, and how many can be included in its own tributary system by the Ministry of Gale?

There is no value and can only be left to fend for itself, and now the Xia tribe has donated snow-white salt, and has shown its value to the Gale Ministry.

There are bows and arrows and armor in the Lu tribe, which must be given from the Gale Department, where is the same as him, and he needs to make them little by little.

In his previous life, Xia Tuo, who was a small trader, didn't care about this kind of low-level, let alone embarrassed, after all, what do you want now, what is the use of this face, when you are strong, you will naturally have a face.

After figuring out the division of this mountain tribe, a new idea occupied his heart, as the head of a clan, how could he not pursue it?

You must know that the Gale Department was just a small tribe three hundred years ago.

"Lu, you are the elder of the dark minister, and the people are selected by the tribe themselves, and I will know every move of the Lu tribe in the next time, and I will also pay close attention to the strong wind department to see if he really leaves after the order. ”

"Yes, I'm going to go. ”

The deer's eyes flashed with eagerness, and he hurriedly said aloud.

"Go ahead. ”

At Xia Tuo's signal, the deer got up and left the cave.

After saying this, he still felt that it was not safe, and only a few old guys who had just fused in the tribe, such as Hong and Qian, were left in the tribe, and all the rest were temporarily moved to the original bamboo tribe station.

Not only that, but the site of the wood extraction pure salt, as well as the site of the military department to make armor weapons, also migrated to the bamboo tribe station.

Soon, the Xia tribe once again became a dilapidated small tribe with many old, weak, sick and disabled, and they no longer planted land, nor hunted, but squatted in the valley to bask in the sun.

......

"This, this, this ......"

In the cave, there was a sound of surprise, the witch's whiskers danced, and the body wrapped in the beast's robe trembled.

"It's a witch potion!"

"It's witch medicine residue. ”

Looking at the excited Wu, Xia Tuo was afraid that the old man would pass over all of a sudden, and it seemed that the matter of finding a successor to the Wu could not be delayed.

Learning witches should start with dolls.

"It's a lone lizard. ”

Grabbing a black beast tooth from the dregs wrapped in animal skins, Wu muttered softly, "The combination of the lone lizard tooth and the root of the fallen flower can still have such a curative effect, why didn't I think of it?"

"If you can always make witch medicine, you don't have to meditate in a cave every day. ”

Every time Wu said a word, Xia Tuo slandered in his heart.

"The spirit of perseverance is commendable, you are not a witch at all, you don't know what you can do after so many years. ”

"Just give the old man a year...... No, it took half a year to figure out the ingredients of the medicinal materials in the witch medicine. ”

After chattering for a while, Wu raised his head and looked at Xia Tuo, and said with excitement in his eyes.

"In another half a year, I'll be able to concoct a potion. ”

This will be the first potion he has ever configured!

Looking at the excitement in Old Man Wu's eyes, Xia Tuo tried to say, "There are a few dolls in the tribe that are good, why don't they come and give you a hand." ”

"The old man is very busy, and he has to prepare witch potions next, so he doesn't have time to teach these little dolls. ”

Do you always not understand what I mean, or do you not understand what I mean?

At this moment, Xia Tuo's eyes rolled and said: "Wu, on the way from the Gale Department, I saw a bird's nest, there were two unknown birds in the nest, they had wings but couldn't fly high, so they gave up, laid an egg in the bird's nest and hatched a bird, and let the bird help them fly, don't you say it's interesting." ”

"Tuo!"

At this moment, the clansmen in the valley were suddenly startled by an extremely angry voice, and they saw their family patriarch running out of the Wushan cave in great embarrassment.

"If you can't fly yourself, don't you have to train the next generation to fly, old man Wu, you think about it. ”

Xia Tuo, who ran out of the cave where Wu was embarrassed, saw that the clansmen in the valley were all looking at him, straightened out his animal skin robes, and glared back at the people who were looking at him.

Seeing the clansmen hurriedly bow their heads, he returned to his cave satisfied.

Although he was angered by the old witch, he did not lose his thoughts about finding a successor for the old witch, and after dealing with the Lu tribe, he had time to tell the story to the old witch.

After returning to the cave, Xia Tuo sat in front of the campfire and used a burning stick to stir the ashes of plants and trees, scooped a sweet potato out of the ashes, and held it in his hand, while thinking about things.

I don't know if that good big brother will come to the tribe after giving the order to the Lu tribe.

Bang!

The potato in his hand fell to the ground all of a sudden, and some things need to be prepared.

He dug a big hole in the cave, buried all the purified salt in except the two jars he had taken out, and walked out of the cave with two stone jars.

He found a narrow and dark cave in the valley and drilled into it, and used stone soldiers to open a hole for only one person to crawl into the depths of the cave, and laboriously brought two jars of salt into it, opened a crack in the rock, and sprinkled salt into the depths of the gap.

......

In the valley outside the tribe, the tribe led the tribesmen to set traps, dig pits, bury bamboo sticks and wooden sticks, and set up early warning settings made of animal skin hemp rope, which continued to the depths of the jungle.

And at this moment, on the mountains outside the Lu tribe, the deer curled up in a rock crevice, through the rock gap just to see the location of the Lu tribe, seeing Jin Wuxi falling, he grabbed a piece of jerky and swallowed it with water.

......

Lu Tribal Valley.

In the cave, several bonfires are burning, and there is a gurgling sound of grease on the surface of the golden beast meat on the fire rack.

The strong man at the top was the lord of the Lu tribe, wearing a beast bone with two horns on his head, and pulled out a dagger with a glistening blue light from the scabbard on his waist, and slashed towards the beast meat on the grill in front of him.

The dagger easily cut through the beast's flesh, and he grabbed it with his big hand and stuffed it into his mouth, and the bronze dagger he grabbed wiped clean on the animal's skin coat without care.

The bronze dagger, which was no more than a foot long and had obvious cracks in the middle, was obviously a defective product when it was built, but it was the most precious treasure of the gravel.

No matter how broken it is, it is still bronze, not broken stone and bones.

This bronze dagger was given to him by the Ministry of Gale for so many years, and he had never left him, even the closest people in the tribe had never seen it.

"Lord Ran, you also know that the salt mines in the valley produce a limited amount of green crystal salt, but since there is an order in the upper part, my Lu tribe will not give up, and I will let the people work day and night to mine enough green crystal salt for the upper part. ”

"Hmm. ”

He tore at the flesh of the beast with a big mouth, and his nostrils sounded.

For the indifference of the li, Li has long been used to it, is it still a warrior who came out of the upper part if he is not cold?

Over the years, backed by the Gale Ministry, the Lu tribe can be said to be the largest tribe in this area deep in the mountains and forests, and the armor and weapons in the tribe are also the best among the tribes in the many mountains and wilderness.

The source of these armor bows and crossbows is naturally the Gale Department.

Perhaps the quality of the armor bow and crossbow is worse than that used by the Gale Division's own warriors, or even replaced by the Gale Division, but it also depends on where it is, in the depths of this jungle, this is the best weapon.

Soon after a big meal, he was led by the Lu tribe to rest in another cave, and the shadows of several figures in front of the bonfire were jumping.

"Patriarch, that batch of Qingjing salt is to be given to ......"

Li, who was dressed in a crimson animal skin coat, couldn't help but speak after seeing him leave, but was interrupted by the old man next to him.

"Shut up!"

At this moment, the five figures in the cave are the highest level of the Lu tribe.

As a tribe under the rule of the Gale Ministry, the Lu tribe has to pay a considerable amount of Qingjing salt to the Gale Ministry every year, and the number is gradually increasing over the years.

was severely reprimanded by Wu, but he didn't make a sound, and his eyes looked at the gravel.

"Give. ”

Grabbing the bronze dagger, Gravel pondered for a moment, his face looking a little hideous under the leap of firelight.

"Patriarch, there are only the last thirty junctuary salt left in the tribe, and the salt mine is becoming more and more difficult to mine, so it has been given to the Ministry of Gale and the Black Water ......Tribe."

"The Blackwater Tribe will take the Black Fang waters first, otherwise they won't be able to reach out to this mountain at all. ”

Suppressing the essence in his eyes, Li said in a deep voice, as the head of a clan, who doesn't want the tribe to grow, like the Ministry of Gale, with many tribal vassals under his command, and become the majority of the dignified and high-level tribes.

Since the beast tide a few years ago, the tribes in this mountain field have been hit by the beast tide, and the various tribes are scattered, and no big tribes have risen.

The Lu tribe, who were unwilling to invest too much strength in this mountain forest, and who controlled the control of salt, had become the largest tribe in this large power vacuum.

In that case, why can't the Lu tribe be an inferior tribe like the Gale Ministry?

In this way, ambition spread in the hearts of the high-ranking people of the Lu tribe.

For this reason, he has secretly made too many preparations over the years, contacting the Black Water Department in the Eastern Regions, secretly trading needs, and constantly accumulating tribal strength.

The reason why he didn't do it for a long time was because he couldn't generate internal strength in his body for a long time, and he couldn't become a real warrior of the Mountain Opening Realm.

"The battle between Gale and Blackwater has been going on for almost a year, and the warriors on both sides have fought each other, consuming a lot of clan strength, and besides, we are here in the depths of the mountain range, isolated from the mountains, even the Gale Department is not willing to invest too much effort here, and now is the opportunity for our department to rise. ”

Next to Li was a figure that looked a little thin, but the momentum was not weak at all among several people.

"After this expedition is over, even if the Gale Department is unwilling, where will there be any strength left to crusade against us. ”
