Looking at these rattan baskets, linen cloths, pottery bowls, and rock salt crystals in small linen cloth pockets placed on the ground, and listening to the exaggerated descriptions of several injured prisoners with their paintings, the Ming tribe fell into extreme confusion.
middle.
Although the other party killed and injured several of them, they did not kill these prisoners, but allowed them to bring back such exquisite and magical things.
Everything, including the rattan basket, was not an item they could recognize.
Especially the linen cloth and pottery bowls, their structure is completely incomprehensible.
Even the simplest rattan basket and the hemp rope tied on it made the clan leader and a group of tribal leaders fall into deep thought.
The few injured people who escaped were still explaining and translating the news that Xu Chen asked them to bring back.
After hearing this, the entire tribe became even more confused and confused.
The other party seemed to have no ill intentions and did not want to conflict with them.
A small-scale battle between the two sides was not initiated by them.
Moreover, the young leader of the other party also explained that the curse of the Five Ghost Clan has been exorcised by them and will not bring plague or disease.
The purpose of their arrival here is just to have friendly exchanges with the Cicha tribe, without any ill intentions. They hope that the Ming tribe can inform the great witch of the Cicha tribe on their behalf, and that the two sides can find a place to meet and communicate. As long as the great witch is willing, they can bring more such people in the future.
Come and trade items with the Cicha tribe, and even teach them the tools and skills for traveling on the water and fishing.
Face these acts of kindness released by the other person.
The mood of the Ming tribe has changed a lot. Some think that Xu Chen and others are afraid of the power of the Cicha tribe and are obviously showing weakness. A large number of hunters who have not yet seen the power of Xu Chen and others are clamoring to attack Xu Chen and others tomorrow.
They launched an attack to avenge the clan members and at the same time snatched back all the things brought by Xu Chen and others.
However, some hunters who escaped early and a few injured people who came back to deliver the news were very frightened, saying that the opponent's weapons were so powerful that the Ming clan would not be able to defeat them, and it was best to inform the great witch immediately before making a decision.
The two sides argued and argued until late at night but failed to come up with an outcome. The clan leader and several leaders had no choice but to let everyone go back to their nests to rest and wait until the Cicha clan members arrived tomorrow before making a decision.
And in this late night, another huge tribe dozens of miles away from the Ming tribe was also alarmed by a group of Ming tribe hunters who suddenly ventured late at night.
The news brought by the Ming clan is extremely frightening.
The five ghosts cursed by the gods are back.
Moreover, they also brought extremely powerful helpers, and the Ming clan suffered heavy casualties, and several others were captured by them.
Faced with this sudden news, the head of the Cicha tribe and a group of leaders gathered with the great witch late at night to discuss how to deal with the matter.
Everyone is nervous and fearful. Once the curse of the Five Ghosts spreads to the Cicha Tribe, this powerful tribe may soon end up like the Five Ghosts back then.
Back then, there were two powerful tribal alliances around this big lake.
The first is the Hacha tribe, headed by the great wizard Hacha. They occupy a large area of territory in the northwest region of the Great Lakes. The Hacha tribe later became the Five Ghost Tribe.
One is the Cicha tribe, headed by the Cicha tribe, which occupies a large territory in the southeast of the Great Lake.
The two clans have the same origin. They migrated here after an earthquake in the northwest a long time ago. After a long period of reproduction, division, expansion and development, they finally formed two great witch powers. Although the great witches on both sides are not convinced by each other, they have the same roots after all.
Their species, language and living habits are exactly the same, so they live in peace most of the time, trading and marrying each other, and they can even occasionally hunt together and carry out some regular sacrificial exchanges.
Until a hundred years ago, a terrible disease suddenly began to spread among the Hacha tribe. It started with vomiting and diarrhea, and then the skin was itchy, red, swollen and stinging. Many people were so itchy that they could scratch and scratch their flesh and blood. Because it could not be treated, the skin and flesh ulcerated more and more.
It's so serious that some people even scratched their own intestines and died.
The great witches of the two tribes discussed together for many times, but tried every means to find a cure. Even because the two tribes often communicated with each other, some people from the Cicha tribe began to suffer from this symptom. Under the threat of fear, the Cicha tribe finally asked the Hacha tribe to leave.
To prevent the curse from contaminating the Cicha tribe.
There was a violent conflict between the two sides, with casualties on each side. This war also completely aroused the dissatisfaction of the tribes belonging to the Cicha tribe. At the strong request of all tribes, the great witch of the Cicha tribe announced that the Hacha tribe was disrespectful to the gods.
, causing the gods to send curses and plagues, and they must be expelled.
In order to force the Hacha tribe to leave, the Cicha tribe even resorted to fire attacks, igniting the forest near the Five Ghost tribe's habitat. The raging flames filled the area for dozens of miles. Facing such oppression from the Cicha tribe, the Hacha tribe's great shaman could not help but
Do not lead your people to escape from their homes where they have lived for generations.
The Cicha tribe was afraid that the Hacha tribe would not be able to escape far enough. Even after the mountain fire was extinguished, they launched another pursuit of the Hacha tribe. The Hacha tribe had to continue to flee, and finally fled to a small lake hundreds of miles away.
They settled nearby. Because there was a very terrifying demon with a human face and a bird body that cannibalize people in the area, they changed the name of the tribe to the name of the demon and called themselves the Dog Clan.
What happened next was the news Xu Chen learned from the Five Ghost Clan.
The Five Ghost Clan took root in a small lake not far from the Jia Clan. Unexpectedly, after smearing various silt minerals on their bodies, their skin diseases gradually improved, but then an even more terrifying disaster followed.
At this time, the Five Ghosts are in a dilemma.
There are Cicha tribe in the southeast who are watching with eager eyes and will never allow them to go back again.
In the north, there is an equally powerful strange tribe called the Gonghuo Tribe. The Jia Clan is a subordinate tribe of the Gonghuo Tribe. They do not dare to act rashly, so they can only isolate themselves to survive.
Increasingly serious diseases are also eroding the strength of the Five Ghost Clan. Over the past hundred years, the population has been halved, and the remaining ones are almost no longer human. The annihilation of the clan is imminent.
In fact, the Cicha Clan has always been aware of the movements of the Five Ghost Clan.
They don't want to kill them all. As long as the Five Ghosts don't come back to harm them, they can just fend for themselves.
After the Five Ghosts cured their skin disease, the great shaman at that time was still alive. They sent people back to communicate with the great shaman of the Cicha tribe and wanted to move back to the Great Lakes, but the Cicha tribe refused because they were worried that the curse would happen again.
Appear.
After the death of the great witch of the Five Ghost Clan, this matter became even more impossible.
But this time the Five Ghosts suddenly appeared near the lake again with a powerful strange tribe. According to the analysis of a group of leaders of the Cicha tribe, they wanted to come back for revenge and take back the lost territory.
Back then, the two tribes already had a sea of hatred. When the Five Ghost Tribe returns with hatred, how can they live in peace? Even if they don't bring curses and plagues, they will definitely not bring peace.
Therefore, after urgent discussions in the middle of the night, the great witch also felt that the matter could not be ignored. After dawn, the Cicha tribe mobilized all the strong hunters in the tribe to form a powerful team of hundreds of people and headed straight for the Ming tribe.
However, after the team left, the great witch of the Cicha clan was worried. She always felt that the matter was not that simple, but she could not figure out what was wrong with it.
She didn't know what secrets were involved in the expulsion and attack of the Hacha tribe back then.
Because she has only been a great witch for seven or eight years.
Four great witches have already passed away.
Regarding the fact that the Hacha tribe was cursed by the gods, the great witches in front of her were also very secretive and did not want to talk too much. They only warned her not to blaspheme and speculate about the gods, let alone get too involved in these curses. The Hacha tribe must have been disrespectful to the gods back then.
That's why it ended up like this.
Therefore, things about the Five Ghosts have always been a taboo topic in the Cicha Alliance.
As for these affiliated tribes, it has been orally passed down through the generations that the Five Ghosts were cursed for disrespecting the gods.
In fact, the great witch is still a little suspicious.
Since the Five Ghosts were expelled, the large mountain forest in the northwest is not suitable for living and survival. Several tribes and families want to move there, but they will soon develop serious skin diseases. The situation is similar to that of the Five Ghosts.
, but as long as you leave for a while, the skin disease will slowly recover.
Therefore, the area in the northwest was widely rumored by the tribe to be a cursed place, unsuitable for survival. Now it has become an inaccessible barren mountain, and no one from the Cicha tribe has set foot there for decades.
These people came through the cursed land under the leadership of the Five Ghosts, and there were not many of them. I don't know what they wanted to do.
If they help the Five Ghosts seek revenge, dozens of people will never be able to win, even if they have powerful weapons.
There are dense swamps around this big lake, and there are dangers everywhere. As long as you force it into it, you will die quickly without even seeing the bones and debris.
While the Cicha tribe was taking action, Xu Chen was not idle either.
He cherishes his life very much and never fights an uncertain battle.
After releasing several injured prisoners of the Ming Tribe, he could not predict what would happen next.
The kindness he released may not be worth mentioning to the Ming and Cicha tribes.
Therefore, even if he hopes to communicate with the great wizard of the Cicha clan through the Ming clan, this is just his wishful thinking, and he cannot figure out how the other party will react in the end.
Because this is a huge tribe that is completely unfamiliar.
Therefore, no matter whether the outcome is good or bad, he must find a way out for himself first. If the other party comes with full malice, he can only grease his feet and leave this ghost place quickly, leaving it to deal with it later.
The next time we come, instead of being polite first and then fighting, we may launch a revenge war first, destroy several small tribes, and then force the other party's great witch to come out for negotiations.
Move the camp, lay some simple confusing traces, and then arrange for people to go out to investigate the nearby mountains, forests and tidal flats to find the direction and road that can safely and quickly leave.
For most of the day, there was no movement from the Ming clan. Xu Chen also set up several camps and maze formations nearby, and even laid many traps.
If the other party comes to communicate with good intentions, then have a good contact and exchange. But if the other party comes with malicious intentions, he doesn't mind leaving some pain and memories for them in advance, so that they understand that he is not a soft persimmon and can be manipulated as he pleases.
