The Strongest Tribe

On the morning of the second day, Xia Tuo left the tribe with the deer, all carrying rattan baskets woven from vines on their backs, in which were placed animal skins to be exchanged for salt.

In the past, every time I went to the Lu tribe to exchange salt, the resources such as animal skins stored in the tribe would be completely consumed.

The deer followed Xia Tuo, and the animal skin and scales of the black wolf were placed in the rattan basket on his back. This was the black wolf that was hunted yesterday, and it was still exuding strong blood.

Patriarch, turn over the Niutou mountain and enter a valley to reach the Lu tribe.

Lu used to follow Hong to the Lu tribe to exchange salt, which is why Xia Tuo brought him out.

The Lu tribe is in the valley under Niutou Mountain. Xia Tuo speculates that there should be salt mines in the valley, but he doesn't know the purity of the salt. However, the Lu tribe does have an expert who even mixes salt into the gravel for trade.

After the two climbed down Niutou Mountain without any risk, they were blocked at the mouth of the valley.

call out!

An arrow feather shot out from the dense forest and stuck not far from Xia Tuo's feet.

arrow.

At this moment, Xia Tuo's eyes were straightened, there must be a bow if there is an arrow.

Under Xia Tuo's gesture, the deer stepped forward and shouted: We are from the Xia tribe, and we are here to exchange salt.

Not far away, there was a sound from a huge tree leaning against the mountain wall. The branches of the giant tree were entangled to form a huge bird's nest. The two figures were covered with a lot of bird feathers, lying in the bird's nest and looking at Xia Xia. Tuo two people.

Xia tribe?

Tu tilted his head and glanced at Bai beside him, and asked, I haven't heard of it.

We come from the valley beyond the nine mountains. I was here last time.

It's him?

Bai squinted at the deer.

You know him.

Bai shook his head and said, I don't know.

There are many tribes in the Wangu Mountains who come to their Lu tribe to exchange salt, and he can't recognize them all.

Under Xia Tuo's signal, the deer then shouted: We brought the scale armor of the black wolf from the Cracked Stone Realm.

Xia Tuo looked at the huge bird's nest on the tree, and thought he was a bird with a hair on his head.

Soon, the two guys in the bird's nest fell off the branch. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Tuo stepped forward quickly, grabbed the arrow feather stuck on the ground, and threw it towards the woods behind him.

His gaze was fixed on the two people who came forward. They had simple animal skin armor on their bodies, and one of them was holding a big black bow in his hand.

Sure enough, the Lu tribe has a bow.

Miss the system again.

The leader of the Xiaxia tribe came to your department to exchange salt.

What's your name?

We are the Lu tribe, not the noble tribe.

...

Looking at the two guys with bird feathers on their heads, Xia Tuo shut himself off.

Hehe, the bow is not bad.

Seeing the guy with the bow sweeping his eyes randomly, he stepped forward and said with envy in his eyes.

I am the most powerful archer in the Lu tribe.

The guy with the bow was complimented by Xia Tuo, and suddenly became impatient, forgetting to look for the arrows to shoot.

I'm Bai, he's Tu, you need to change the salt, I'll tell the leader later.

After speaking, Bai took a bow and patted Tu next to him, and Tu ran towards the valley with a face full of reluctance.

Being able to hold a bow, I think you must be the most powerful warrior in the tribe.

Looking at the guarded look in his white eyes, Xia Tuo gave up the urge to look at the bow in his hand.

Not long after, Tu ran back from the valley and shouted loudly, The leader told you to enter the tribe.

Under Tu's guidance, Xia Tuo and the deer entered the Lu tribe in the valley. Like their tribe, the Lu tribe also lived in caves in the valley. There was a simple defensive wall made of huge stones at the entrance of the valley.

Tribal warriors were stationed on the defensive wall, and Tu and Bai were hiding in the bird's nest as a warning outside.

It's you who want to change the salt.

As soon as he stepped into the tribe, Xia Tuo walked towards a strong man with a white bone animal head on his head, two horns, and various scattered small animal bones hanging down. The animal skin coat on his body was shiny and shiny. .

The strong man was two heads taller than Xia Tuo, and there were faintly dark blue totem patterns flashing on his neck, and strong blood rushed towards him.

Stuff stays.

Before Xia Tuo could speak, the strong man waved his hands, and someone behind him came forward and put two stone jars in front of Xia Tuo.

The strong man's words directly made him feel as if he had entered a wolf's den. It really was a seller's market, so he could be ashamed.

Come on.

Xia Tuo grabbed the deer, took off the animal skin in the rattan basket behind him, put two stone pots in it, pulled the deer around and left.

After Xia Tuo turned around, the black wolf scale armor they brought was immediately picked up by an elderly member of the Lu tribe and examined carefully.

Boss, there are several big holes in the wolf's skin, which should be pierced by stone tools, and the wolf bone on the back is broken.

Even though the wolf fur was damaged, the old man still had satisfaction in his eyes.

It seems that this Xia tribe really got lucky and hunted a black wolf.

The leader of the Lu Tribe glanced at the wolf skin, turned around and walked towards the cave, and ordered: Make this wolf skin and see if you can make a pair of armor.

Boss, will the Xia tribe...

The leader turned around and glared, Unless they don't eat salt anymore.

...

Patriarch, they are too much.

Leaving the Lu tribe, the deer shouted angrily.

This time, although they were given two pots of salt, what they brought was the scales and fur of the fierce beast in the Rock Cracking Realm.

Xia Tuo was also very angry, but he didn't show it in the Lu tribe. Whoever let them monopolize the salt, really has to pretend to be a grandson before there is no other channel.

Although he entered the Lu tribe for a short time, he observed that the strength of the Lu tribe far surpassed them. The totem warriors alone saw no less than ten of them.

It seems that this salt is really profitable. Relying on this hand-made salt method, the Lu tribe's life is really nourishing. The reason why they are so powerful is because of their strength.

Treating them like this today is probably not a special case.

After leaving the Lu tribe, Xia Tuo searched fiercely in the forest, and he found the arrow feather that he threw into the forest.

It was about three feet long, and the arrowheads were ground from bone, with a hard wood in the center, with some feathers glued to the ends, and a dry gelatin on top.

Obviously, the Lu tribe already knew how to refine or use this glue to make bows and arrows. It was not because there were no bows and arrows that he asked the tribe to grind stone spears.

Let's go.

Putting the arrow feathers in the rattan basket, Xia Tuo returned to the tribe with the deer.

Naturally, this encounter aroused the anger of the tribal people. Xia Tuo suppressed them one by one. I still don’t know how much I weigh. It sounds like a tribe, but it’s a refugee gathering place. , the face will come naturally.

Of course, many people in the tribe didn't understand his thoughts, and they wished to copy the guys to fight. Fortunately, if they didn't understand, they didn't understand, but they obeyed Xia Tuo's orders.

...

At night, the bonfire burns fiercely, illuminating the cave.

Xia Tuo handed the arrow in his hand to Elder Rein below, and said, Can we make this kind of arrow?

Elder Lian didn't speak, and handed the arrow to Hong who was next to him. After a while, the arrow returned to Xia Tuo's hand again.

The patriarch's bow can be made from animal bones, but it needs to use curved animal bones, and the bowstring has animal tendons, but we can't make this kind of arrows. I don't know what the colloid that sticks to the feathers is.

Think of a way with this transparent glue, and make the bow first.

Handing over the task of making the bow to Elder Rein, Xia Tuo opened up the soil salt exchanged from the Lu tribe, and the business of adding salt to the Lu tribe's soil really flourished.

With a pot of salt and half a pot of soil, Xia Tuo took out a fist-sized stone from the stone pot. The Lu tribe is a bit too much. The largest salt grain is no more than the size of a finger, but the stone is a bit big.

Not only that, the two stone pots in front of him were one big and one small, the big one was about a foot and a half high and about a foot in diameter, and the stone wall was thick enough to block arrows.

The smaller one is about a foot high, and according to the rules, each of these two jars is filled with a jun salt, which includes the stone jars.

But this is also something that can't be helped, who will let others have it in their hands.

Under the light of the fire, the salt grains glowed blue, exuding a faint astringent smell.

Holding the salt grains, Xia Tuo's expression under the light of the fire was a little ferocious, and he said fiercely: I want to replace the salt for myself.

After giving the order, the wind soon brought a woman named Mu from the tribe to come. The two came with several stone jars and a stone with a depression in the middle. The bottom of the stone was dark and obviously burned for a long time.

After picking out the sand grains in the jar, I grabbed two handfuls of salt grains and put them in one of the stone jars. After adding well water and stirring, all the spiritual salt grains melted.

Unexpectedly, the salt water was extremely cloudy, with blue floc floating on it.

Let Mu pick out the flocs in the water, pour them into another stone tank, filter out the sand particles, and after doing this a few times, pour the salt water into the groove in the stone.

While the wood was filtering the salt water, Xia Tuo used stones to build a platform on the campfire, and put the stones filled with salt water on it.

He was not a top student in the world he lived in before, and he failed in mathematics, physics and chemistry, so he can only remember so much, and the rest can only depend on God's will.

The flame burned the stone, and soon the water in the groove was boiled. Under Xia Tuo's signal, Mu still added firewood to the bottom.

Soon on the surface of the groove, a thin layer of whitish fineness emerged.

It's done!

Xia Tuo stretched his head and looked towards the groove of the stone. Although Bai Jiuzhong still had a mottled blue color, it was much better than the initial salt grains.

After a long time, the water in the stone was evaporated, and a layer of fine salt crystals adhered to the surface of the groove. Xia Tuo reached out and dipped a little, and licked it with his tongue.

Ok.

salty!

Although there is still a bitter taste, it also shows that his wild jungle version of the distilled salt method works, but it is a pity that there is no iron pot.

But it's all mixed up like this, so there's nothing to be dissatisfied with.

Collect the salt in the groove of the stone, there is only a small handful, but it is white, which is many times better than the salt grains in the stone jar.

It wasn't until this moment that Feng reacted from his sluggishness and hurriedly ran out.
