The Strongest Tribe Of The Ages
Chapter 24 Totem Sacrifice
"Are there any relics in the mountains, or a powerful tribe that lived a long time ago?"
Seeing that the witch was silent, Xia Tuo asked again. The ruins are what he can think of right now. After all, there are a group of poor people in the entire mountain range. The conditions on the ground obviously do not allow it. They can only dig underground, and they can't get living people. It's killing people.
In the light of the fire, Wu shook his head lightly with a wry smile, Xia Tuo couldn't help showing disappointment.
If there are no living people, and the dead don’t know, this is difficult. Being a patriarch is really not easy.
"I am going to converge the scattered population in the middle of the mountain again."
Suddenly, Xia Tuo changed his voice.
"You are the patriarch."
As soon as Wu's eyelids were raised, he seemed not interested in what he said.
"I'm going to learn about witchcraft, you can go."
Xia Tuo got up, slandering Old Man Wu in his heart. After so many years of comprehension, you have come to comprehend a flower, and you have a big beard.
It seems that we are going to find a descendant for Wu.
Watching Xia Tuo walk out of the cave, Wu's eyes closed slightly.
It's because he didn't know what Xia Tuo was thinking, otherwise he would really knock Xia Tuo with his cane.
After returning to his cave, Xia Tuo summoned all the elders and the hunting captain.
"Hong, the three hunting teams of Takebe, one will go out to hunt tomorrow, one will patrol the tribe, and the other will be led by you to converge all the scattered tribes displayed on the sand table and incorporate them into our summer tribe."
"it is good."
Glancing at Hong, who had just eaten and flossed his teeth with the thick and thin beast bones of his fingers, he immediately calmed down, don't take the patriarch as the boss.
"I'll go."
Suddenly Li cried out. He couldn't help seeing that Feng had a wife during the day. He might find a wife after going out to stay away.
"Yep."
With Xia Tuo's approval, Li touched the back of his head with big hands, silly, and must find a woman who is stronger than Feng's boy, who is good for life.
He waved his hand to disperse everyone, and the cave suddenly became quiet.
The task of converging the population cannot be stopped, and the same task of finding the force pole cannot be stopped. Now the tribe has established several seniors and temporarily has a division of labor.
It is a pity that the wasteland reclaimed by the Ministry of Agriculture has to take some time to harvest. During this period, the tribe needs to go out to gather wild fruits and potatoes in addition to hunting.
Fortunately, these are not in a hurry. What the Ministry of Agriculture is doing is to do experiments to see what troubles will be encountered in artificially growing food.
In fact, at the very beginning, he also thought about letting his tribe build stone houses and temples. After all, living in a cave was too humid and cramped.
But conditions do not allow it.
There seems to be more than ten acres of land in the valley. Once a stone house is built, it will appear to be crowded. Next, more population needs to be converged, and only after a wave of population is gathered before making plans.
Today's tribal resident seems to be stable, but in fact it also limits the development of the tribe. Fortunately, the limitation of the tribe’s weakness has not yet appeared.
When the Golden Crow fluttered its wings from the east on the second day, Hong's hunting team had already rushed out of the tribe and began to gather the population according to the scattered parts marked on the sand table.
...
Lu tribe at the bottom of Niutou Mountain.
A sturdy young man appeared outside the Lu tribe, and the two of them carried a bamboo basket with animal bones and skins inside.
The two quickly entered the Lu tribe. When they came out again, a stone pot appeared in the bamboo basket on the young man's back. The two quickly walked out of the Lu tribe and disappeared into the vast mountains and forests.
At this moment, another totem warrior with a bamboo basket appeared in the forest, Ji.
A totem warrior was also followed by Jue. A wild bear fur in the cracked stone realm in the bamboo basket swaggered into the Lu tribe.
...
In the middle of the night, the Xia tribe became lively again, and Hong Heli, who had gone out, returned to the tribe’s residence with more than a hundred people.
For several days, Hong brought a hunting team early and returned late, bringing back dozens of hundreds of people every day.
Five days later, the population of the tribe reached 713. On the seventh day after Hong returned with more than 100 people, Xia Tuo ordered a suspension of the population gathering.
The reason why it took seven days was because the people Hong brought back were all scattered parts without the totem pillars, which also avoided the conflict between the totems.
The population of the entire Xia tribe suddenly reached 844, from 186 to 844 and became a big fat man.
More than 800 people have eased the pressure on the tribe’s lack of youth, and similarly brought new pressure. Nearly 110 declining elderly people accounted for nearly 15% of the tribe’s population.
...
"Patriarch, these days we exchanged 27 Jun for salt from the Lu tribe with different identities."
The Great Elder shook his head, frowning, and then said: "It is estimated that it has attracted the attention of the Lu tribe."
As a tribe that controls the salt of the various tribes in the surrounding dozens or hundreds of mountains, Xia Tuo still dare not confront it head-on, and can only use this method of moving ants to exchange for salt, even if the Lu tribe’s hands are very dark. The sand is mixed with salt.
This is not the most important thing. The important thing is that the Lu tribe’s salt is very casual.
"Patriarch, the valley where the Lu tribe is located is very tightly guarded, and there are people guarding the surrounding mountains."
Lu continued with the words of the elder, saying that in the past few days he has been wandering around the periphery of the Lu tribe, but it is a pity that the Lu tribe is very tightly guarded.
"It is not certain whether the salt is produced in the valley where the Lu tribe is located."
Hearing this, Xia Tuo nodded. The Lu tribe is the most powerful tribe he knows so far. Of course, he wants to know that other tribes don't have that condition right now.
So he can only kill the Lu tribe.
"By the way, patriarch, I wandered outside the Lu tribe these few days and found a mysterious person who had entered and left the Lu tribe."
Lu Qingyin, with a hint of thought in his eyes, then said: "This man doesn't seem to be going to change salt. He is wearing armor, carrying a crossbow, and a long knife on his back. The animal skin can't hide the cold light on the back of the knife. "
"Ironware."
Hearing this, Xia Tuo was shocked. For so many days, let alone ironware, he hasn't even seen iron slag. If it were ironware, it would be a little scary.
He is still a stone tool, people have entered the Iron Age, this is already a qualitative leap.
After a few breaths, he suppressed his surprise, and he motioned to Lu to continue.
"Both people are very fierce. They broke into the Lu tribe directly. When they came out, they were sent by the Lu tribe's patriarch. There were also Lu tribe people who followed several people, each carrying a bamboo basket."
"After carefully following them over the four mountains, I didn't dare to catch up."
After pondering for a moment, Xia Tuo waved his hand and said, "Well, let's not talk about this today. I have already discussed with the witch and sacrifice totem in three days!"
Sacrifice totem!
Hearing that the expressions of everyone in the entire cave were shocked. At the moment, nearly 30 people in the cave, except for the totem warriors originally promoted in the tribe, have gathered a total of five scattered parts these days.
Taking the original bamboo tribe as an example, there are two totem warriors, Qian and Hong. These people became totem warriors before the beast tide changed a few years ago. The totem pillar shattered under the impact of the beast tide, which also represents their totem warriors. The future of the road is slim.
This is also the reason Xia Tuo dared to gather so much at once.
After these scattered parts are incorporated into the Xia tribe, they must first be fed and dressed, and then the sacrificial totem is to make everyone completely home.
At the moment, the elderly accounted for almost 15% of all people in the tribe. There were more than 110 people. There were 53 dolls under ten years old and 78 young people.
There are 213 young men and women over 20 years old and under 40 years old, and the rest are middle-aged people around 50 years old, who are also the main body of the entire tribal population.
There is no doubt that this part of the tribe has almost no potential at all. This is also nothing to do. The scattered department has no resources and totems, and it is a blessing to survive.
Fortunately, the tribe will not only need warriors in the future, but also need manpower for farming, building armor, making salt, and burning pottery, but some things are not yet in time.
"Hong, you lead the hunting team to go hunting. Three days later, I need enough prey to worship the great totem."
"Yes."
A flash of fire flashed in Hong's eyes, and he quickly shouted.
On the second day, Hong took all the hunting teams into the forest, and Xia Tuo also walked out of the valley with his hands on his back. The figures outside the valley were undulating. Under the leadership of Minister of Agriculture, Lao Shao, more than 100 people were smoothing out. On the wasteland, soil potatoes are planted.
In a corner, he also saw a small piece of about dozens of green bamboos, which were transplanted from the original bamboo tribe.
Looking at the wasteland in front of him, Xia Tuo had an urge to grow grains in his bones, and he didn't panic with grains in his hands.
The place suitable for growing food is naturally the best place. It is a pity that in the mountains, there are few crops that are known to be able to eat, so the Ministry of Agriculture can only try slowly.
He didn't have an unknown prophet either. He didn't know that he could travel into this world. Everything needed to be tried little by little.
Right now, I have an idea in my mind. After the tribe is integrated and has the ability to defend the tribe, the tribe must move to a place where it can be used to cast the city and farm.
As the totem sacrifice approached, the witch who had been hiding in the cave also came out. The tribal valley seemed a little messy, but it was nothing. The days were getting better, right?
After making a round in the tribe, Wu found Xia Tuo.
"There are too many people in the tribe, and a big sacrifice is needed."
"What a great sacrifice?"
"Blood sacrifice."
Wu looked at the messy valley. Because of the increase in population, dozens of caves were dug out in the valley again. Even so, it still seemed a bit crowded and chaotic.
"Take sacrifice as a sacrifice, use blood as a guide, communicate totems, and gather people's hearts."
"Well, everything is arranged by Wu."
Xia Tuo fully agreed, and severely administering severe medicine, the spirit of Totem needs to gather the'willing power' of more people in order to recover again.
The blood sacrifice is the blood sacrifice. After all, these people are all deserted people scattered in the mountains, and the awe of the totem in their hearts may have been a little bleak in these years.
What he needs is a tribe with one heart and one force, so as to be able to focus on development like arms.
