Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Chapter 170 Slaves

The expedition departed from another river of the Pu tribe, as did the waterway.

This river doesn't have so many lotus leaves, it's a raft, it's full of people.

Shao Xuan and were on the same raft, listening to others around them give far-sightedness.

In the sky above the raft team, chirping. This Shao Xuan told Big Boss Panning earlier.

At that time, Panning also hoped that Shao Xuan would pay an extra piece of water moonstone, which Shao Xuan refused. Shao Xuan could warn the sky and reduce the chances that the tribe would be in danger. With this benefit, you still charge? Business is now underdeveloped, but these people already have the potential of traitors.

At the end of the day, Panine didn't look too good, but she didn't insist.

Since it's a long trip, naturally it won't be a day or two, sometimes it's dozens of days when you go out.

Probably because there are more human tribes in the area, there is no such dangerous situation as the hunting zone across the river, and sometimes there is some trouble from the water, or harassment from other tribes, but overall it is calm and safe.

Due to the frequent distances, the people of the Pu tribe are very clear about which waterway is safer and more convenient, and Shao Xuan also remembers these routes silently in his heart. When he is free, he paints them on the skin of the beast and completes the mapping. If the Flaming Horn tribes on the other side of the river return one day, they will always need these maps.

Nearly a millennium ago, there has been a great deal of change, and this is no longer exactly what our ancestors recorded.

As we move forward, the river becomes wider and wider. Near the river, there are always traces of human activity. There is a small tribe not far ahead, just that the small tribe is not happy with contact with the people of the outside tribe, and it is isolated. Those who see the outside tribe avoid it, or throw stone wooden arrows, etc. The tribe is very unhappy with this, but it will not delay the speed of the journey.

“Be careful.” Those with years of distant experience next to them warned.

On the shore in front, several women in animal skins washed their things and, after seeing the raft team, dragged them away. And as the rafts passed, some arrows were fired from the hillside woods, which were slightly higher on the shore.

Such force, for Shao Xuan and even for the warriors of the Flaming Horn tribe, is nothing and can be easily caught and broken. But a lot of these arrows are annoying.

Shao Xuan cut off the wooden arrows with a knife.

If it is a large tribe, it is unlikely that the Pu tribe will step back and communicate in the past, but such a small tribe, the Pu tribe people are lazy to ignore those who have a strange temper.

The speed of the raft accelerated and the arrows stopped only after the raft had left the area.

In fact, those who hide in the bushes don't necessarily want to shoot past, they're just scared, and if there's a real intent to kill, they should be able to use a harder technique, instead of these wooden arrows that don't even cut their heads too sharp.

There are many tribes around, the presence of small tribes is very low, most of the tribes are hundreds of people, their abilities are not strong, their generation and extinction are fast, and the tribes do not devote much attention.

The people of the tribes around Shao Xuan did not want to go any further, they only cared about their interests.

Two days later.

“There's a fork ahead, we'll stay there for two days.” One side looked at the darkened sky and said.

In the front, the river is divided into two branches, in the "Y” type, where there are also many people from other tribes who have travelled far to the centre, and the tribes know many of them, sometimes accompanying them, to make the distant teams stronger, so that there is an extra point of security.

There are too many strong men in the middle, they can only fight in numbers.

Shao Xuan looked over.

On both sides of the river, without the mountains, without the dense forests, it became flat, and here, many houses were built, there were wooden houses, there were stone houses, and the architectural styles were diverse, ovular, triangular, flat-top wooden shed, pointy-top thatched... just look at this and you can see that this is not a tribe anymore.

And if you look at people, they're not as obvious as houses, but everyone who sees them has an idea: they're too mixed up, like a litter of sand. Each grain of sand comes from a different watershed, and then gathers here.

Although there are many people, many people look very poor, some bone thin as wood, some eyes atheistic, regardless of adult children, are the same, children are a little better, in addition to their physical condition, some will smile, while adults are more confused and bitter.

What happened to these people?

“These people?” Shao Xuan asks the people next to him who are very experienced in travel.

“You said them.” A few of the tribes looked over there, some sighed, some didn't care, "they were ‘travelers’. ”

“Travellers” in their mouths are not tourists, but people who are displaced and have nowhere to live, who, as if they were rootless, often move around and do all sorts of things to survive.

“They're the ones who lost the spark.” Said one of the clans next to him.

Whoever loses the spark, wherever he goes, his life will be in darkness, without the spark, where is the power?

“Lost the spark?” Shao Xuan is curious about this statement.

“Yeah, their tribes don't exist anymore, the sparks are extinguished, they lose their source of power.” That humane.

In the year of Shao Xuan's awakening, the witch told them that the source of their power was in the body, and by the summoning of the spark, it would begin to gradually awaken, that is, the totem in the mind.

If the spark is extinguished, it means that the tribe does not exist, the totem naturally dissipates, and the source of power in the body naturally falls asleep or even disappears.

No wonder those people are in that state. Tribes are gone, totem forces are gone, become “travelers”, free from the world, suddenly overwhelmed, all that can be done is merely to survive, completely dominated by the instincts of survival.

Nevertheless, the spark was extinguished. Shao Xuan was very surprised by this statement. He had thought that special flames would last for a long time, and now it seems that they can be extinguished. However, when extinguished, the tribe is gone.

The tribes in which they live, when the sparks are extinguished, disappear and some use their special survival skills in exchange for food. Like hard work.

Perhaps, throughout their lives, they will be so dispersed that some will abandon their beliefs and join other tribes, and future generations will naturally awaken the totems of other tribes under the fire of other tribes. But if the power of totem in the veins of the body is too mixed, the success of awakening is good, even if there may be some discrimination, but at least there is a safe place to fall and a place to belong. But if the awakening fails, they will be driven out of the tribe to continue the tourist life of their fathers and fathers.

“Why don't they go hunting?” Shao Xuan asked. After asking, however, Shao Xuan realized that there might be various situations. The power of the totem was gone and the risk of going hunting was too great.

“Hunting?” 30686; laughed, "They won't go hunting on their own unless they have to. ”

Even if it's not like the mountain forests on the other side of the river, many places, not one or two people can resist, at least one team, to barely survive, especially those who have been abandoned by the sparks, those who have lost their faith and power, ten to nine.

“What happens to future generations if neither parent is a traveler?” Shao Xuan asked.

“Generally speaking, many tribes do not ask to be integrated with people within tribes, such as our tribes. As long as future generations are guided by the spark, but there is only one option, either to accept the spark of this tribe or to accept another, he can only awaken one source of power, otherwise both forces, if awakened, will cause conflict. Small tribes prefer to marry people from within tribes, but this also has disadvantages and is confusing if they are understaffed. ”

The Travelling Experienced of the Pu tribe also spoke of the many banditry and lewdness of small tribes in order to increase the population, causing the entire tribe to become fuzzy. People from the Pu tribe despise it.

Shao Xuan thought about it. When the Flaming Horn tribe went to that place, there were not many people, but the witches of that year had people documented it. According to the records Shao Xuan had seen, the population growth of the tribe was slow, but stable, and there was no such confusion as said.

At the time of the tribe, Shao Xuan felt that it was very difficult for the Witches of the Horn Tribe to hear about the situation of the other Tribes. If it were not for the leadership control of the Horn Tribe generations of Witches, it would probably be like that.

In such circumstances, it is not easy to face all kinds of vicious beasts in the surrounding mountain forests that can reach nearly 2,000 people today.

A good witch, a good chief, is really important.

Shao Xuan saw a team of 10 people come quickly to help the raft team of the clan move things and take care of the raft on the water. There was also a man with a whip staring hard.

“Who are they?” Shao Xuan asked the people beside him.

“You said them.” The same words as before, but at this moment the eyes of the tribe are no longer irrelevant or sighing, but with extreme contempt and gravity: “Those are slaves! ”

Shao Xuan's eyelids jumped.

At this time, Shao Xuan only heard a loud laugh in front of him. The laughter was a little harsh.

Looking up, Shao Xuan saw a man in leopard skin, walking slowly with a smile, tall, thin and white, not as dark as those around him who were busy working. Her eyes squinted slightly and she looked happy, but the light flashed through her eyes told Shao Xuan that he was not getting along well.

“Ha-ha-ha! See you again!” When the man came, Panning, the leader of the expedition team, quickly approached him. Panning, who had no good face for Shao Xuan, laughed like a flower at this moment, and spoke to each other in the past.

“Who's that guy?” Shao Xuan asks the people beside him.

This time, the people of the tribe were less loud, slightly pressing their voices: “He is the master of those slaves. ”

In other words, the leopard-skinned man is a slaver.
