The cannibal tribe that Okamura Shihei mentioned is not just a simple joke. Of course, this small tribe that calls itself the Clay tribe is not as scary as the legendary one. In fact, it is a branch of the Keyang tribe, which is deeply suffering.

Due to the fierce conflict between the two factions of the Keyang tribe in the battle for the position of patriarch, the failed party fled to the Baizha Mountain, which was rarely visited by the victors, and covered with wild forests.

The team of hundreds of people was chased and killed by their fellow brothers until the Baizha Pass on the east bank of the Dangyang River. Seeing that the father, as the leader of the tribe, died in his arms, the angry Mengbaye led the remaining more than 220 wounded remnants, set up an ambush circle, defeated the pursuers who came first in one fell swoop, and killed the son of another leader of the tribe, Lang, on the spot. He climbed onto Gaoyan to pull out a dagger to cut off Lang's ears and nose, and showed a momentum of looking at death, and chewed them in front of the hundreds of pursuers.

Seeing this, the pursuer who had a semi-automatic rifle was so scared that he fled in scattered his soul. Mengbaye, who was only seventeen years old, became the leader of the remnants of the escape line.

After this battle, the cannibalism spread rapidly across the Shan State Plateau. Whether it was the Keyang tribe who fled in panic or the people of all ethnic groups nearby, they all talked about the change of fear and fear, and never dared to easily enter the mountain pass. Over the past fifteen years, the stories that have been constantly interpreted and circulated have become more and more terrifying. In addition, the Baizha Mountains are covered with thick fog all year round, and even the buffaloes that accidentally entered it often go but never return, which deepened the fear in the hearts of the people. The scary title of the cannibalism has been passed down from now on, but no one remembers the source of this tribe.

The truth of the matter is: Mengbaye, who was surviving in Baizha Mountain, soon discovered. The tribes who followed him died one after another due to injuries and illness, leaving more than 160 people hungry and nothing, but all this could not be caused by indigenous peoples that had been thriving in the mountains of the Shan State Plateau for hundreds of years. They picked wild fruits and dug mountain potatoes, and survived tenaciously by the animals in the mountains and fish in the streams. Three months later, they found a steep mountain road to the foot of the mountain to the east, and finally could use the fur of the wild beast to exchange a little salt and clothes from the town. At this time, there were only more than 80 tribes left by Mengbaye. These more than 80 people who survived the mouths of poisonous snakes, beasts and poisonous miasma, naturally became extremely fierce and cold-blooded.

Because the battle between the government troops outside and the armed forces of the Shan State was very fierce at this time, Mengbaye discussed with his subordinates and decided to stay in the mountains and not go out again. He relied on the hunting income to go down the mountain for daily necessities and knives and farm tools. He slowly took in and exchanged dozens of women with animal skins. A brand new tribe was born. Mengbaye, who vowed not to forget hatred, cut his forehead and cheeks with a half-moon bone spur with excellent pain-relieving effect, and then applied the wound with a juice called "Ink Orchid" and "Snake Letter" in the mountains. It could heal quickly, but six black and red markings like thunder and lightning were left on his forehead and face throughout his life. Mengbaye called the tribe "Clay Clan". From then on, he became the leader of the clan.

Speaking of which, Bao Youxiang only heard his subordinates say that there was such a strange tribe three years ago. He did not pay attention to it at the beginning. There were not a hundred or fifty tribes like this on the Shan Plateau, and no one was in his heart. It was not until the bloody battle with the Americans last year that the frightened Clay tribes nervously guarded the important area of ​​the mountain pass with machetes and spears. When they met with the Wa State Army officers and soldiers who had increased patrols, they realized that the world wars outside had been completed. Due to years of contact, they could be considered harmonious with each other. Mengbaye still trusted the Wa State Army. After many years of meeting, he met many times. He couldn't help but start to be curious about the "busy city" in the words of the Wa State Army. So he asked Captain Nie Manjiang, the battalion commander of the Mengshan Town Station at the foot of the mountain to take him to see it, which was also a lesson.

Nie Manjiang, who is very friendly to the brothers of all ethnic groups under his jurisdiction, saw that the tall and strong Mengbaye looked so strange and so interesting. He did not refuse too much and took him into the city directly. Who knew that Mengbaye had a very eye-catching appearance and met Zhan Ying, the intelligence chief of the Special Administrative Region. Zhan Ying found that this man was tall and tough, rude, but ignorant about everything outside, and made many jokes, so he took this as an interesting thing to tell Bao Youxiang. After hearing that, Bao Youxiang was worried about the safety of the military station, so he immediately ordered Zhan Ying to investigate this.

The background of Mengbaye and the Kree clan. After two months of investigation, Zhan Ying finally found out the background of Mengbaye and his tribe. But at this time, Mengbaye, who was greedy for glory, left three wives and a large number of children in the deep mountains. He moved to Mengshan Town with five guards to buy a house and settle down. He also used his savings over the years to buy two beautiful girls to serve him. The young and strong clan members had to hunt and log in the dangerous mountains all day long, and regularly gave them to the flower world and wine. He lingered Mengbaye for the strong clan leader to sell and squander.

After learning the details, Bao Youxiang didn't pay much attention to the patriarch of the barbaric clan who now has more than 500 people. Bao Youxiang knew that the Clay clan, who did not trust anyone, was not allowed to enter their territory, but other things were also in good manners, so he said that as long as he did not do anything illegal or harmful to the people, everything would be left to its natural state.

Afterwards, at a banquet in Wangang City, Xiao Youming, who visited, told Liu Hailan and Tu Wensheng about this interesting story. The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Although Tu Wensheng and Liu Hailan remained silent after knowing it, they were quite worried, because two groups of foreign geological experts invited by Corning were working in the Baizhashan area of ​​the Second Special Zone. Once there was a conflict with this barbaric tribe, the consequences would be unimaginable. When Tu Wensheng carefully put forward his thoughts, Xiao Youming laughed and explained that as long as he did not enter the dangerous Baizhashan area, there would be no security problems, not to mention that there were so many officers and soldiers to protect him, what would you fear a few barbarians?

This time, Liu Hailan and Tu Wensheng accompanied Cornning to visit. When they heard that Japan was spying on the name of scientific archaeology and immediately remembered the Clay tribe. The two discussed it briefly. Then they came up with a plan to kill people by borrowing a knife. First, the boss Cornning was very interested in this mysterious Baizhashan area, and second, they had already returned to Panlongdi geological experts said that if they could enter the Baizhashan area for a comprehensive exploration, they would likely find larger-scale nickel ores, and even explore the gathering area where nickel sulfide ore layers existed. So Liu Hailan and Tu Wensheng's design came from. Bao Youxiang, who had long wanted to drive the Clay tribe away, thought it was a good plan, so they made an arrangement.

Early the next morning, the intelligence chief Zhan Ying brought two guards to the stilt house where Mengbaye lived. After drinking two glasses of water and wine with Mengbaye, he hurriedly said goodbye.

Mengbaye, who is already familiar with Zhanying, wouldn't he let him leave so easily? He had to fight with Zhanying again. Zhanying had no choice but to tell Mengba secretly

"A group of foreign businessmen are measuring in the area of ​​Xiaobaichuan. I heard that they would get a large forklift and excavator to open the road and enter Baizha Mountain. Cut wood and mine it and sell it for a lot of money. Although it is not the territory I manage, I also have to go and see it with my own eyes. We can't let foreign businessmen go up the mountain from the northeast of the mountain pass and cut down trees belonging to our special zone. Sorry, Lao Meng, next time I pass by here, let's drink it."

Mengbaye was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly stood up and grabbed Zhan Ying's hand tightly, and asked in panic: "Old Zhan, are the excavator and forklift you mentioned the two big guys who are building roads outside the town?"

"It's that thing. It's cruel! I just dig two or three miles a day and it's like playing. If the road down the mountain is really widened, will the trees on the mountain be cut off by them? I guess these foreigners are still carrying guns on them. If I don't go and see where I can rest assured? Okay, I'll invite you to the city for another drink next time. Do you know. A new massage parlor has been opened in the city, where Thai girls are white and tender. The dance posture is also very graceful, haha! Let's go!" Zhan Ying pushed Meng Bayer's hand away, turned around and left.

Mengbaye frowned and strode forward to stop Zhan Ying: "Old Zhan, what are you going to do if those people dig the road and want to pass by your outpost?"

"What should I do? I shot him to death! I'm not afraid of Americans. Who am I afraid of? If we cut off the big tree that we have grown for hundreds of years for outsiders, what will we leave for future generations in the future? By the way, Lao Meng, you must be careful. If they measure the way from your Baizha Pass, they will probably drive all the way to the hinterland of Baizha Mountain where your tribe is. I heard that you are all big trees that have been for thousands of years. Just cut out one tree and you can change a girl. You have to watch your own things and don't be stolen easily." Zhan Ying said and left again.

Meng Baye, who was furious by Zhan Ying, shouted loudly: "Old Zhan, you look down on me! If you go to see your road, I will also take people to see your mountain pass. If I find someone dares to approach my mountain pass, I will cut him down immediately!"

Zhan Ying took more than ten steps, and seemed to think of something. He suddenly turned around and said, "Old Meng, no matter how you say it, I am brothers. If you can't beat them, remember to ask someone to cross the mountain ridge and go to the outpost to find me. I will take a few brothers to fight with you! Be careful, they have guns in their hands."

Mengbaye felt that Zhan Ying looked down on him, and his nose was so angry that he tilted. Without saying a word, he rushed into the house with a three-foot machete on his back. He cursed a few times and then took his men to strode into the mountains.

Seeing this, Zhan Ying immediately took the guards to board the off-road vehicle and ordered the driver to rush to the Xiaobaichuan Post as soon as possible. A team of elite troops from the Special Forces Brigade left the post and climbed up the southwest ridge, hid in the dense bushes, and observed carefully with a telescope.

On the empty ground of Xiao Shirakawa for more than 500 meters below, two large green military tents on the east bank were clearly visible. Under the towering trees outside the tent, Japanese in beige work clothes were fiddling with a piece of mineral with a complex set of instruments, and a tall and thin Japanese were constantly typing on the computer keyboard.

Zhan Ying slowly moved the direction of the lens and found two Japanese people standing next to a raised measuring instrument. One of them stared at the measuring instrument with his hands constantly adjusting the instrument. The other person kept calling on the intercom, obviously measuring the distance in the direction of the mountain pass. Zhan Ying continued to move the lens to the foot of the mountain in the distance and found that there were two Japanese people holding bars standing on both sides of the mountain pass. Seven or eight migrant workers were digging deep grooves more than ten meters long, holding exquisite double-headed hammers and knocking them. From time to time, they put the knocked stones into a white canvas bag at the edge of the pit. At a glance, they knew that they were collecting ore samples.

Zhan Ying put down the telescope and looked at the table. After estimating the time, he couldn't help but sigh slightly. It seemed that Meng Baye and his tribe members would have to arrive at at least an hour.

Zhan Ying raised his telescope again to check. If Mengbaye and his gang had not arrived yet and the Japanese were leaving again, he could only order his subordinates to launch an attack, otherwise he would have to raise his head to see Mr. Bao.

An hour and a half passed, and the sun was already west. Zhan Ying saw the Japanese entering the depths of the mountain pass and returned to the tent one after another, packed all the instruments and put them in the box. A group of migrant workers also walked towards the tent with heavy white bags on their backs. Zhan Ying was anxious and silently prayed that the group of miscellaneous people should not go so fast, but the more anxious the situation was, the worse the situation was. A tall Japanese wearing glasses loudly directed the migrant workers to remove the tent, then walked to their companions, squatted down to screen the ore together.

Another twenty minutes passed, and Zhan Ying, who had no hope of killing people with a knife, gritted his teeth and issued an order to "prepare to snipe" to the special forces team leader. At this time, a group of Japanese seemed to be arguing, and Zhan Ying quickly raised his telescope and quickly observed.

I saw a short man holding a piece of mineral and saying something loudly. After a while, he threw down the stone in his hand as if he was angry, walked to the tool box and took out an iron hammer, strode towards the mountain pass, and the others stood there, looking at the short man's back together.

The short man walked to the side of the dug-opened deep groove on the left side of the mountain pass, jumped down in one step, and the jingling sound followed. After a while, the knock sound stopped. The short man quickly climbed up the deep groove. Before he stood up, he suddenly let out a miserable howl and then pounced forward. A two-meter-long spear dart had penetrated deeply into his body, and the wailing sound was still echoing among the mountains.
Chapter completed!
