Chapter 376 Grassroots Discovered by Teng Snake Tribe
Cao Gen raised his face, which was full of cuts cut by the cold wind, and wiped the frozen snot from his nose with his hand, which looked no better.
I saw a companion pointing at a tall pine tree and shouting excitedly.
Cao Gen and the other two people quickly ran over and found a fist-sized tree hole about two meters high in the pine tree.
Seeing this tree hole, Grass Root also grinned widely, happy for his companion's good luck.
They first found a small stone nearby and lifted it up from the ground with a stick.
After resting for a while on another rock, the person who first discovered the tree hole took it, and the three grassroots pushed him up under the tree.
Cold and hunger made their bodies stiff and lacked strength. Otherwise, they could climb up the tree without anyone pushing them.
The man climbed up the tree, stepped on a horizontal branch with both feet, and holding a slightly rested stone in his other hand, he kept hacking at the hole in the pine tree.
After enlarging the tree hole, he put the stone in the hand that was wrapped around the tree trunk and started to dig it out with a smile on his face.
At the sound of some animal squeaking, he pulled his arm out of the tree hole, holding five or six large chestnuts in his hand.
“%￥…&!”
With a smile and a hint of showoff, he lowered his head and shouted to the grassroots people pulling the animal skins below, and then dropped the chestnuts in his hands.
Then he continued to reach into the tree hole.
Amid the curses of the two big-tailed squirrels that took the opportunity to run out and jump around on the branches, squeaking and screaming, they continued to stretch out their arms to take out the squirrel couple's hard-earned money.
As for the protests of the two squirrels, no one paid heed to them. If possible, they would like to catch the two squirrels and take them back together.
There are many things stored in the squirrel hole. In addition to chestnuts, there are also pine nuts and acorns, all of which are dried.
I made most of the animal skin packages.
This is more than what they gained after searching for three or four days.
The man in the tree used stones to chop at the tree hole for a while. After confirming that the tree hole could no longer be enlarged, he regretfully gave up some of the food left in the tree hole and slipped down the tree.
Together with the three grassroots, they took the tree sticks and headed towards the cave with a full harvest.
Two squirrels stood on the branch, jumping and cursing the four lawless robbers who were strutting away. After a while, they reluctantly stopped and slid down the tree trunk to see their unrecognizable home.
"Zhizhi..."
Before returning to the entrance of the cave, the two squirrels stopped. After a slight hesitation, they immediately turned around and jumped towards the height of the pine tree.
Standing on a high branch, he watched in horror as more terrifying robbers appeared under the tree.
The three leaders of the Soaring Snake tribe stood under the pine tree, looking at the newly opened squirrel hole, as well as the two squirrels that did not sleep in the tree hole in the winter and ran outside to catch the cold, and then looked at the few squirrels that were walking along the way.
The footprints just left, as well as the few small black spots in the distance, brought a smile to his face.
He waited here for a while, called two people, and asked them to follow the trail forward.
He took the remaining people and found a leeward place to wait, waiting for the result.
After a while, the two people came back and reported the situation to the three leaders of the Soaring Snake Tribe.
The three leaders of the Soaring Snake Tribe nodded after hearing this, and then left a mark here that they could understand. After waiting for a while, they began to move in the original direction.
This newly discovered tribe is lucky. The Tengshe Tribe is not short of food this year. Otherwise, they would not be let off so easily.
However, this does not mean that their luck will continue to be good in the future. When they find a tribe, they will wait until they are short of food before conquering it. This is the usual calculation method of the Soaring Snake Tribe.
So far, there have been very few failures, and the worst one was when I went to attack that tribe that lived in an extremely strange place during the last few snowy days...
The three leaders of the Soaring Snake Tribe, with this thought in mind, trudged through the snow with difficulty, carrying baskets made of grass and people.
In their baskets, apart from the fruits and pieces of meat used as food, the only thing left was a kind of green and slightly black grass.
Turning around to look at the grass in the basket, the three leaders of the Soaring Snake Tribe couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
If it weren't for these grasses, he would be staying in a warm cave now, warming himself by the fire and eating barbecue. Why would he be leading people on a long journey through the ice and snow?
These grasses are the favorite things of the little monster whose appetite is getting bigger and bigger.
The little monster with fur on its body and a horn on its head has grown up to a large size. What it likes to do most is follow the witch.
It is strange to say that the witch, who is not very interested in primitive women, is completely indifferent to this little monster who looks a little scared.
So when the weather was getting colder and colder, and heavy snow might fall at any time, he took his people away from the tribe and went to a tribe he had conquered before to dig this kind of grass.
That little monster needs to be killed for food, and its fur-covered skin is really warm to wear.
Of course, he was just thinking about this kind of thing in his mind. In their tribe, basically no one dared to question the witch's decision and not act according to the witch's instructions.
"%#￥!"
After walking like this for a while, the three leaders of the Soaring Snake Tribe took out something wrapped in layers of animal skin from a smaller straw basket hanging on his waist.
The layers of animal skin were opened, revealing something that looked like a skull.
Inside the skull, there are some white solids, somewhat similar to frozen human brains.
The three leaders of the Soaring Snake Tribe dug out some white solid matter with their fingers and smeared it on the hands of those who stopped following his order.
The people of the Tengshe Tribe cherished the white solids in their hands, opened them with their hands, and applied them evenly on their faces. The skin on their hands was exposed to the outside.
The three leaders of the Soaring Snake Tribe dug out more. After applying it, they used their sticky hands to wrap the skull in leather again and carefully put it back into the basket on their waist.
These things are the biggest reason why the Soaring Snake Tribe dares to go out in the middle of winter.
With this thing, they will no longer be afraid of the cold north wind.
No matter how cold your body is, your hands and face will be cracked and disfigured by the cold.
This thing was given to him by a witch. In the entire tribe, only the witch knew how to get such a precious thing...
