The Strongest Tribe Of The Ages
Chapter 29 The Ambition of the Lu Tribe
what!
Xia Tuo's words made the elders in the cave look startled.
Why?
Why is this?
Seeing the suspicious expressions of the few people in front of him, he didn't explain what is called "Zang Zhuo". This time he got in touch with the Ministry of Gale, because he couldn't hide it from the Lu tribe.
Perhaps the Lu tribe is not worth mentioning in the eyes of Dafeng Department, 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. Just because it dared to mix salt from the sand and control the salt supply of the living tribes in dozens of mountains, it can be seen that it is just a narrow gale. unit.
To put it bluntly, being a dog must also be qualified to be a dog. On this vast mountainous land in the southern part of the Wangu Mountains, there are more tribes living in them. How many of them can be incorporated into their tributary system by the Gale Ministry?
There is no value and can only fend for itself. At the moment, the Xia tribe has offered snow-white salt, and has shown its value to the Gale Ministry.
There are bows, arrows and armors in the Lu tribe. These are not all rewards from the Gale Department. Like him, you need to make them bit by bit.
Xia Tuo, who was a small trader in his previous life, didn't care about this kind of inferiority, let alone embarrassment. After all, what I want right now, what is the use of this face, and when he is strong, he will naturally have a face.
After figuring out the division of the mountain and wild tribes, a new idea occupied his heart. As the leader of a clan, how could he not pursue it?
You know, the Ministry of Gale was just a small tribe three hundred years ago.
"Lu, you are the elder of the dark minister, and the staff is selected by the tribe. I will know every move of the Lu tribe in the following time, and the Gale Ministry will also pay close attention to whether he really leaves after passing the order. "
"Yes, I will start now."
Deer's eyes flashed eagerly, and said quickly.
"Go ahead."
At Xia Tuo's sign, Lu got up and left the cave.
After that, he still felt unsafe. Only a few old men who had just merged in, such as Hong and Qian, were left in the tribe. All the rest were temporarily moved to the original bamboo tribe.
Not only that, the site where the wooden salt was purified, as well as the site where the Ministry of War made armor weapons, also moved to the bamboo tribe resident.
Soon, the Xia tribe once again became a dilapidated small tribe with mostly old, weak, sick and disabled people. The land was no longer planted, nor hunting, all squatting in the valley to bask in the sun.
...
"This, this..."
In the cave, there was a sound of surprise, the shaman's beard danced, and the body wrapped in the robe couldn't help shaking.
"This is witch medicine!"
"It's witch medicine residue."
Looking at the excited Wu, Xia Tuo was very afraid that the old man would pass by at once, and it seemed that the matter of finding a descendant for Wu could not be delayed.
Learn witches from the baby.
"This is the Tooth of a Lizard."
Grabbing a black lacquered animal tooth from the medicine dregs wrapped in animal skins, Wu Qingyin said, "The combination of the dullizard tooth and the root of the fallen flower can still have such a curative effect. Why didn't I remember it? ?"
"You always need to be able to make witch medicine, so you don't have to meditate in a cave every day."
Every time Wu said something, Xia Tuo slandered in his heart.
"Perseverance is commendable. You are not a wizard at all. You don't know it in your heart. Don't you know what your ability is after so many years."
"Just give the old man a year...no, half a year will be able to figure out the ingredients in the witch medicine."
After holding the medicine dregs and talking 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 will be able to prepare witch medicine."
This will be the first witch medicine he has deployed!
Looking at the excitement in the eyes of Old Man Wu,
"The old man is very busy. Next, I have to configure witch drugs. I have no time to teach these little dolls."
Do you always do not understand what I mean, or do you not understand what I mean?
At this moment, Xia Tuo rolled his eyes and said, "Witch, I saw a bird's nest on the way from the Gale Department. There are two unknown birds in the bird's nest. They have wings but they can't fly high. So they gave up, laid an egg in the nest and hatched a bird, let the bird help them fly, do you think it's very interesting."
"Tuo!"
At this moment, the clansmen in the valley were suddenly startled by an extremely angry voice, and they saw their clan leader ran out of Wushan cave in a very embarrassing manner.
"If you can't fly by yourself, don't you have to train the next generation to fly, Old Man Wu, please consider it carefully."
Xia Tuo, who ran out of the cave where the witch was in embarrassment, saw the tribesmen in the valley looking at him, straightened out his animal skin robe, and stared back at the tribe who was looking at him.
Seeing the tribesmen lower their heads in a hurry, he returned to his cave with satisfaction.
Although he was angered by the old shaman, his thoughts about finding a descendant for the old shaman did not fall. After dealing with the Lu tribe, he had time to tell the old shaman.
After returning to the cave, Xia Tuo sat in front of the bonfire and fiddled with the ashes of the trees and trees with a fire stick, picking up a soil potato from the ashes, holding it in his hands, thinking about things in his heart.
I don't know if that good elder brother will come to the tribe after giving orders to the Lu tribe.
boom!
The soil potatoes in his hand fell suddenly to the ground, and there are some things that need to be prepared.
He dug a big hole in the cave, burying all the purified salt in it except for the two jars he took out, grabbing the two stone jars and walking out of the cave.
I found a narrow and dark cave in the valley and drilled it in, then opened a hole for one person to crawl toward the depths of the cave with stone soldiers, took two jars of salt in with great effort, and opened up a rock gap. Sprinkle salt deep into the gap.
...
In the valleys outside the tribe, Yun led the tribe to set up traps, dig pits, bury bamboo sticks and wooden sticks, and set warnings made of animal skins and hemp ropes, and continue to the depths of the jungle.
At this moment, on the mountains outside the Lu tribe, the deer curled up and shrank in a rock gap. Through the rock gap, you could just see the position of the Lu tribe. Seeing Jinwu Xiluo, he grabbed a piece of dried meat and swallowed it with clear water. .
...
Lu tribe valley.
In the cave, a number of bonfires burned, and there were golden beast meat on the fire stand sizzling with grease on the surface. Several figures were sitting around the bonfire, enjoying a big meal.
The strong man at the top is the lord of the Lu tribe. He wears a beast bone with two horns on his head. From the scabbard around his waist, he drew a dagger that shone with blue light and slashed towards the beast meat on the grill in front of him. Over.
The dagger cut the beast meat easily, and he grabbed it with his big hand and stuffed it into his mouth. The bronze dagger he was holding was carelessly wiped clean on the animal skin.
The bronze dagger is no more than a foot long, with obvious cracks in the middle. It is obviously a defective product at the time of crafting, but it is the most precious treasure of gravel.
No matter how broken it is, it is a bronze, not a broken stone.
This bronze dagger was given to the Gale Ministry by him for so many years, and the Gale Ministry rewarded him. He has never left him, even the closest people in the tribe have never watched it.
"Master Xi, you also know that the salt mines in the valley produce limited cyan salt, but since there are orders from the upper part, my Lu tribe will not hesitate to let the tribe people day and night to mine enough cyan salt for the upper part."
"Ok."
Nie bit the beast meat with a big mouth, and nostrils made noise.
Li has long been accustomed to Ji's indifference, isn't it the warrior who came out from the upper part if he was not indifferent?
Over the years, backed by the Ministry of Gale, the Lu tribe can be said to have become the largest tribe in this area deep in the mountains and forests. The armor and weapons in the tribe are also the best among the many mountain tribes in the radius.
The source of these armored crossbows is naturally the Gale Department.
Perhaps the quality of the armored crossbow is worse than that used by the Gale Department's own soldiers, or even replaced by the Gale Department, but it also depends on where, in the depths of this jungle, this is the best weapon.
Soon after a big meal, Jie was led by the Lu tribe to rest in another cave. The shadows of several figures were jumping in front of the bonfire.
"Patriarch, that batch of Qingjing Salt is for..."
Li, dressed in a scarlet animal leather coat, couldn't help but speak when he saw Li leaving, 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 Ministry of Gale, the Lu tribe pays a considerable amount of Qingjing Salt to the Ministry of Gale every year, and the number is gradually increasing over the years.
Wu sternly scolded, Li did not make a sound, his eyes looked at Li.
"give."
Grasping the bronze dagger, Li pondered for a moment, his face looked a bit hideous under the light of the fire.
"Patriarch, there are only the last 30 knots of green crystal salt left in the tribe, and the salt mines are becoming more and more difficult to mine. They are all given to the Dafeng Ministry, the Heishui tribe..."
"The Heishui Tribe will take the Blackfang waters first, otherwise it will not be able to reach out to this mountain."
Depressing the Jinggong in his eyes, Li Shensheng said, as the leader of a clan, who doesn't want to let the tribe grow, like the Great Wind Department under his numerous tribe vassals, and become a large part of the dignified rank.
Since the beast wave a few years ago, this mountain tribe has been swept away by the beast wave. The tribes are scattered, and no big tribe has risen.
The Gale Department outside is unwilling to invest too much strength in this mountain forest, and the Lu tribe, which controls the control of salt, has become the largest tribe in this vacuum of power.
That being the case, why can't the Lu tribe become an inferior tribe like the Gale?
The ambition spread in the hearts of the senior people of the Lu tribe.
For this reason, he has made too many preparations secretly in recent years, contacting the Black Water Department of the Eastern Region, secretly trading needs, and constantly accumulating tribal strength.
The reason why he hasn't done it for a long time is because he hasn't been able to produce internal energy in his body, and he can't become a real soldier in the open mountain realm.
"The battle between Gale and Heishui has been going on for almost a year. The fighters on both sides conquered each other and consumed a lot of clan power. Besides, we are in the depths of the mountains, isolated from the mountains, even the Gale Department. Willing to invest too much effort here, right now is the opportunity for our ministry to rise."
Next to Li was a figure that looked a little thin, but not weak at all among the few people.
"After this conquest is over, even if the Gale Department is unwilling, there is no room left to attack us."
