In the woods, there were still Gonghuo hunters chasing after him. After seeing Xu Chen, they ran to Xu Chen in groups and squatted down excitedly to greet him, expressing their longing and respect.
Without Xu Chen and the experience of being a prisoner of the Ba tribe, they would not be where they are today.
After returning from the Ba tribe, they felt that their life experience and level of knowledge were a generation behind those of the Gonghuo tribe, and they did not seem to be from the same world at all.
The ethnic group they were proud of in the past seemed to be worthless in their eyes. Compared with the Ba people, they were as unbearable as a den of beasts.
And Xu Chen is the leader of their life sublimation, and no one can replace him.
Xu Chen was very pleased and patted the shoulders of these Gonghuo hunters to express his gratitude and encouragement.
Different from the laughter of the victors, the men, women, and children of the Yugong clan squatted in front of the cave, each one trembling in fear and not knowing what would happen to them next.
In particular, the great shaman of the Yugong clan and a group of clan leaders, who were being escorted by Feng and other hunters, were filled with panic and panic, and at the same time they were full of curiosity about Xu Chen's identity.
From the moment they were driven out of the cave by the Maotun tribe and saw this group of strangers dressed in strange costumes, they discovered that this young man had a unique identity, and everyone obeyed his words.
And when Lei and a group of Gonghuo hunters rushed to squat in front of Xu Chen, the surprise was even worse.
Squatting on the ground expresses awe and surrender, and is generally used to salute witches.
But Xu Chen's costume is obviously not that of a witch, and there are very few male witches. I only heard that wizards appear in some tribes in the mountains far to the south, and those tribes are generally very evil tribes.
Could it be that these people were found by the Maotun tribe from the mountains in the south?
But these people weren't very vicious. They didn't kill anyone after rushing into the cave. They were obviously not the evil tribes in the legendary mountains in the south.
And it is said that the southern tribes are even more barbaric. Many of them live in trees or underground, and do not know how to use fire. Some do not even wear animal skins.
But the clothes made of animal skins worn by these people in front of them were exquisite and neat, their words and deeds were also very serious, and they also had very strict discipline, which was different from all the tribes they had seen.
What's more, these people came from the bank of the river, from the northwest.
The great shaman of the Yugong clan slowly figured out in panic that these people from the strange tribe must be the people found on the other side of the Spring River, because the style of the flag and the sound of the horn were almost exactly the same.
But how did they get here?
How did you get in touch with the Maotun tribe?
As a member of the alliance tribe, the Maotun tribe has always been very honest and responsible all these years. How could they suddenly betray the great witch and do such an outrageous thing?
The price of betraying a great witch is very high, unless they can defect to a more powerful witch.
Could it be that the witches of the tribe on the other side of the river are so powerful that even the Maotun people are afraid of them?
Not only is the great shaman of the Yu Gong clan constantly speculating on the causes and consequences of this incident, a group of clan leaders and many clan members are also constantly speculating on this.
They definitely held a grudge against the intruders, but while they were yelling at Xu Chen and others for their shamelessness, they actually hated the Maotun people even more.
If they weren't leading them, how could these people raid their lair cave from behind and capture the great witch and all the women and children?
The Maotun tribe is the biggest scourge that attracts wolves into the house.
Therefore, while squatting on the ground, many hunters were scratching the ground with their fingers and toes, wishing they could jump up and strangle a large group of Maotun people who were laughing strangely to death, suck their blood, sleep on their skin and eat their flesh.
But seeing more and more enemies rushing out of the mountain forest, shouting and screaming, the Yugong hunter became more and more frightened, and had to suppress the anger and hatred in his heart, and squatted on the ground honestly.
Waiting for the fall.
As Mo, Lei and others arrived one after another with reinforcements responsible for luring the snake out of the cave, the situation in front of the cave further stabilized.
In the end, only the cries of some women and children could be heard.
It took less than half an hour from the time Mo Helei and his men rushed into the valley to the moment the situation was completely under control, which was almost the same as the time it took to steal the Tamaotun tribe a few days ago.
In five days, two powerful tribes were defeated with almost the same trick. It has to be said that strategy is indeed a blow to primitive people like a dimensionality reduction weapon.
Of course, this continuous success also gave Xu Chen more confidence in conquering more tribes in the future.
Primitive people are not afraid of witches, but he is not afraid of witches. He is just a little expert at making witches. Now he even dares to make gods, let alone a few witches. If they are disobedient, just change them.
There are no such things as inheritance scepters. They are everywhere in the mountains and plains. You can make several in a day.
Therefore, for him, tribes with witches are easier to conquer, just like the Gonghuo tribe or the Yugong tribe. To capture the thieves, capture the king first, and capture their witches first, then everything will be fine.
Xu Chen almost didn't need to personally order what happened next. After convening a brief meeting with several military officers.
Mo, Lei, Feng and others got busy according to their assigned tasks. They took the hunters of the three tribes and a group of Maotun captives. After briefly screening the men, women and children, some went to search for the dead and injured Yu Gong tribesmen in the mountains and at the foot of the mountains.
People went to the mouth of the valley to pick up all the abandoned beasts of the Yu Gong clan. One group of people escorted the clan chiefs and leaders to other caves to clean up the mess. In addition, some young women were selected to prepare wheat, beans and other food, and lit bonfires to wash the pottery they brought.
Pot terrine and start preparing dinner.
At this time, the setting sun had already set in the west, leaving only the remaining glow in the sky.
The mountains, forests and river valleys where the sound of killings had been heard just now seemed extremely quiet and peaceful amidst the sunset and the howling cold wind.
Men, women and children all took action, and soon several large bonfires were lit in front of the cave.
The cleaned earthenware pots and jars were filled with wheat, beans, dry food and water, and were cooked in them. The dried fish and meat stored by the Yugong clan were also taken out and started to be grilled.
There is a strong aroma of food floating in the air.
The Ba tribe, Lei tribe, Gonghuo tribe and even a few Erguizi Maotun tribe were among them, laughing and chatting around the campfire, drinking water, eating meat, talking and laughing loudly.
Hundreds of Yugong tribesmen, both men and women, were dejected, slaughtering prey and carrying firewood under the surveillance and threats of some well-armed hunters or Maotun tribesmen. They saw that their food for the winter was wasted and ruined by these enemies, but there was nothing they could do.
Xu Chenzheng, Gu, Ju, Feng, Lei, Mo and others were gathering together to interrogate the great shaman of the Yu Gong clan and several clan heads and leaders.
Although the languages are different, after spending a few days with the Maotun people, both parties were gradually able to understand a few simple words. With a lot of body language gestures, the two parties were still able to communicate.
In order to let the Yu Gong clan know their true origins, Xu Chen had people take out the map and add the Maoton River and the place where the Yu Gong clan lived on the spot, so that there was a continuous map of mountains and rivers on the south bank of the Wulong River.
.
Maps, which appeared very late in the history of human civilization, require various complex skills such as mathematics, geometry, astronomy, geography, surveying, and cartography. Each of them requires enough skill points to be allocated to the intermediate and advanced stages.
to appear.
In this primitive and barbaric era, when even drawing pictures is still in an ignorant stage and has almost no knowledge of astronomy and geography, the emergence of maps is tantamount to high-latitude black technology, which suddenly opens up a new world for these barbarians.
Open a brand new window.
Under Xu Chen's careful guidance, he explained the mountains and rivers drawn by the abstract lines above, and explained the directions marked on the simple map to these primitive people according to the direction of the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. In the end, the great shaman of the Yugong clan
I slowly and roughly understood the map, and then I was completely confused.
All this time, they only thought that they were the only tribal alliance in the Great River Basin, and that seven or eight tribes had survived here for who knows how many years.
But this spring, a hunter suddenly ran up to him and told him that other humans were found on the other side of the river. They were not only holding high-flying things, but also making loud noises.
From then on, the great witch worriedly began to ask people to check the situation on the other side. However, half a year passed by and no human beings appeared on the other side.
A few days ago, a hunter from the tribe came to him in terror and told him that someone was riding a huge beast down the river.
However, this incident was like a sudden glimpse and then nothing happened again, just like an illusion.
It was not until she was attacked and captured by this group of people today that she truly understood through this picture that it turned out that these people had been living across a river for a long time, within a day's distance.
From the Ba tribe to the La tribe to the Yu Gong tribe, and then a short distance down the river is the territory of the Gonghuo Tribe Alliance.
The two alliances are only a dozen miles apart from each other across the river, but they have not discovered each other for hundreds of years.
It’s not that they can’t be discovered, but because the various living environments are too closed, and coupled with the obstruction of the Taotao River, the two alliance tribes have no motivation to take the initiative to develop and develop, resulting in this mutual isolation.
situation.
If Xu Chen hadn't built a raft to investigate the situation along the river, even if it were hundreds of thousands of years later, the situation of the two alliance tribes might still be the same and there would be no change.
Because the development of human civilization is almost in a relatively static state at the moment, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, each tribe gathers and hunts within a day's distance of their own habitat, and thrives in the midst of hunger and cold, day after day.
Day after day, year after year, it develops at an extremely slow speed.
If the inheritance of the Great Witch goes smoothly, it may develop relatively stably.
But if the inheritance of the great witchcraft is cut off, it may completely collapse without the support of faith.
Coupled with natural disasters and plagues, a large tribe with hundreds of people may disappear in an instant.
This situation will continue to develop until the Neolithic Age, when the population has accumulated to a certain extent and farming has greatly guaranteed survival. Only then will humans take the initiative to carry out large-scale exploration and integration, and human civilization will begin to advance by leaps and bounds.
develop.
The emergence of Xu Chen is an anomaly. It directly interrupts the human model of relying on natural forces to promote development. Driven by external forces, it opens a leap development model, allowing these tribes to break through the existing cognitive boundaries. See clearly at a glance
