Although a lot was taken away by hundreds of people from ten teams, this pile of supplies did not seem to have decreased much. It still stood like a hill in the middle of the Lakota tribe.
The original tents in the tribe could not accommodate these mountains of supplies. Chief Geronimo simply led his tribe to cut down trees. It took him three days to finally set up a dozen large tents and store these hundreds of cubic meters.
A massive amount of supplies including rice was loaded into it.
The departure of the warriors who had been guarding the tribe did not make the tribe members uneasy. Not to mention the powerful god and his extremely fierce men, the two humanoid ferocious beasts that could single-handedly eliminate dozens of militants were still protecting them in the tribe.
The large number of advanced muskets given by Chen Mo are enough for them to protect the tribe.
The goals of these acquisition teams have been planned for a long time. Excluding the tribes that Chen Mo has visited recently, the remaining tribes have been allocated according to distance. Each team only needs to move in one direction without going back and forth, which is efficient.
Very high.
The next day, a team was the first to return, bringing back furs that were much larger than the supplies they carried when they left.
When ten huge furry figures over two meters tall, nearly three meters tall, and over one meter wide appeared outside the tribe, the tribesman in charge of warning almost shot an arrow out, and his companions had already begun to reload their bullets.
Ready to shoot.
Having lived in the forest for so many years, they are well aware of the great aggression of grizzly bears. Moreover, their tribe just hunted a huge grizzly bear some time ago and injured several people. How could they not let a group of them appear this time?
Shockingly, even those two powerful humanoid ferocious beasts were probably no match for the dozen or so giant grizzly bears that were nearly three meters tall.
However, thinking of Chen Mo who was in charge of the tribe and the powerful guns in each hand, they quickly calmed down and were not as panicked as they were at the beginning.
"We're back!"
Just when they were about to shout a warning and call for the tribesmen to come and destroy the giant bear group, the "giant bear" opposite suddenly spoke.
The tribesmen in charge of the guards looked carefully and discovered that at the bottom of these ten huge furry figures was one of the acquisition teams that had just left yesterday.
It turned out that it was not a grizzly bear at all, but an acquisition team member carrying too much fur.
The tribes assigned to this acquisition team were not too far away from the Lakota tribe, and they were very close to each other, so they quickly completed the transaction and rushed back.
Just like before, the trading materials prepared by Chen Mo were far more attractive than those provided by the American Fur Company. The people who came to trade were fellow Indians, and the prices were very fair. Almost every tribe gave up all their money.
The furs they accumulated were traded with them, so all the trading materials they brought were quickly traded out, and they got back several times the volume of furs.
During this period, the large amount of supplies they carried naturally attracted a lot of coveted eyes. However, when they saw the muskets carried on the shoulders of the ten people, which were obviously brand new and advanced than those of the American Fur Company, all the coveted eyes disappeared.
It turned into deep envy and jealousy, but the American Fur Company had learned from the past and no one wanted to try the power of the musket.
All in all, this time the fur trade went extremely smoothly.
This acquisition team will rest in the tribe for a day, put on their backpacks again, and continue to rush to other tribes for the next transaction.
After the first acquisition team came back, the second one who came back was not the entire acquisition team that had completed the acquisition, but a young Lakota tribe boy who had just come of age and was also a member of the ten acquisition teams.
"Chief, we discovered a takeover team from the American Fur Company!"
…
In the Indian tent specially prepared for him, Chen Mo received the news from Chief Geronimo.
Before Chen Mo could say anything, Victor and James stood up impatiently and looked at Chen Mo with burning eyes, their little faces full of anticipation.
Chen Mo couldn't help but feel speechless when he saw this. That's all for Victor. I don't know when the timid and gentle James started to become belligerent. When he heard that there was a battle to join, his eyes lit up. This was his awakening.
Was it the wild instinct that was aroused after he gained his own abilities, or was he led astray by himself?
In any case, this was the main purpose of his sending the acquisition team. Although the strength of the two men has improved a lot compared to when they first arrived, there is still a lot of room for improvement. They still need to fight a lot and continue to improve in the battle.
After this period of observation, Chen Mo made a bold guess. The improvement of Victor and James's own strength seems to have a lot to do with their self-healing ability.
To be precise, the more serious the injuries the two suffered during the battle, the greater their physical fitness will improve after the battle is over and the injuries recover.
It seems that the self-healing ability is not only healing their injuries, but also strengthening their strength.
But this does make sense.
It is actually the same principle for ordinary people to exercise and improve their strength.
During exercise, muscle fibers will be damaged. After rest and adequate nutrition, these damaged muscle fibers will be repaired and regenerated, becoming thicker and stronger than before.
Including bones, the same is actually true. People who practice martial arts often hit sandbags or wooden stakes with their fists. The bones in the stressed parts will be slightly damaged, and after subsequent repairs, they will become thicker and stronger than before.
hard.
If you observe the fists of martial arts practitioners, you will find that their finger bones and joints are obviously much thicker and harder than ordinary people. Ordinary people are likely to break bones when hitting bricks with their fists, but martial arts practitioners can easily break them without any damage.
.
It is a process of destruction, regeneration and enhancement.
It's just that the process of "destruction, regeneration, and enhancement" of ordinary people, due to the limitations of their own "regeneration" ability, must control this "destruction" within a certain range. Once it is not controlled well, the degree of "destruction" will exceed
If the body's own "regeneration" and repair are limited, it will cause harm to the body, which is what we often call training injuries.
Therefore, ordinary people's bodies "strengthen" through exercise very slowly.
Moreover, this process of "destruction, regeneration, and enhancement" is only manifested in skin, muscles, bones, etc. Once the internal organs, nerves and other parts are injured, it will be difficult to return to their original state. Not only will they not be "enhanced", but they will
It will also be weakened!
But Victor and James are different. They both possess special abilities and have powerful self-healing abilities far beyond ordinary people.
