Chapter 21 Prepare to attack after more than a month
In Mu's expectant eyes, Xia Tuo said aloud: Mu will do the task I entrusted to you for the time being, and there will be other arrangements in the future.
As the secret of the tribe, the method of purifying salt has always been carried out in the cave where the witch is. In Xia Tuo's plan, this will be one of the key products to communicate with other tribes in the future.
yes.
Seeing that the patriarch hadn't forgotten himself, Mu felt relieved.
Soon, Xia Tuo waved his hand and asked everyone to go back to their caves to sleep, leaving Mu, Shao, Gong, Wolf, and Jue to stay.
I will communicate with the totem later. It is up to you whether you can visualize the totem and become a totem warrior.
What.
The Patriarch...
Become a totem warrior.
For a while, several people in the cave looked at Xia Tuo with excited expressions on their faces.
I, I, I, I, I...
Looking at the excitement in the eyes of the clansmen, Xia Tuo looked indifferent, and said formally: Come with me.
The totem was aroused step by step, and after a night of tossing, the totem gods were branded on the bodies of Gong and other five people, and they became real totem warriors.
Xia Tuo leaned on the totem pillar, feeling exhausted. He still couldn't figure out why he was still lifeless since the totem pillar could be aroused by him and let the clansmen take advantage of the situation to visualize the totem.
In order for the five of them to become totem warriors, most of the blood energy deposited in the totem these days has been consumed, and some previously repaired cracks reappeared, twisting and winding, making people look very chaotic.
The totem needs to be worshiped by the clansmen, and the invisible and intangible'will power' is needed, and the supplement of blood alone is not enough.
However, the tribe has a total of more than 180 people, including the dozen or so children who jump up and down every day. Even if all the fallen people come to worship the totem without eating or drinking, I am afraid it will not be able to satisfy the totem's demand for will. .
The population must be increased!
On the second day, without Xia Tuo's arrangement, the elders established yesterday had already divided up the tribal people. All between the ages of teens and forties.
The Ministry of War also selected some people, both men and women, and the rest, men and women, old guys, belonged to the Ministry of Agriculture. Anyway, let’s go to farm when they are free. With the cultivation base of the cracking stone, Shao has the power to restrain the tribe. .
Right now, the tribe didn't have a way to temper the children in the tribe, so Hong directly chose a quasi-totem warrior to sharpen the children first.
However, when Xia Tuo walked out of his cave, he saw more than a dozen guys in the tribe with deep marks on their faces, and they were walking with a limp, obviously beaten.
It's no wonder that after all, someone became a totem warrior yesterday, and there must be some people who are not convinced. In the tribe, they all use their fists to convince others. Obviously, the newly promoted totem warriors use their fists to convince everyone.
In the mine, a few guys were beating the rock wall with stone tools to mine sapphire stones. The Minister of War stared at them with wide eyes, watching whoever slowed down would be kicked.
The hunting team consumes a lot of stone spears every day. As the elder of the army, he is responsible for the manufacture of the tribe's weapons and armor. He doesn't want to disappoint the clan leader.
There was no such loose atmosphere in the tribe anymore, Xia Tuo nodded in satisfaction, turned around and returned to his cave, and the Great Elder Rein followed in.
Right now, he is in charge of the internal affairs of the clan, such as the handling of the hunting team's hunting of beasts, the drying and storage of meat, and the meals of all the clansmen in the clan.
When people get old, they lose a lot of thoughts. The only thing they want is to hope that the tribe will get better and better, and the rein is no exception. These days, the smiles on his face are getting more and more.
The food stored in the cave is increasing every day, and there is no need to go hungry.
Patriarch, I remembered that there is a kind of glue in the body of some kind of Deinosaur, and I don't know if it can be used to make arrow feathers.
Xia Tuo nodded, and asked a child who was peeking at the entrance of the cave to call Hong and Gong.
Soon Hong and Gong arrived in a hurry. Hong was reorganizing his military department. Now most of the totem warriors in the tribe were in the military department. He was preparing to divide the military department into several hunting teams so that he could repair while hunting.
The hunting team is going to hunt a few Fangjia beasts and Deinosaurs these days and come back to supply the Ministry of War to make bows and arrows.
Xia Tuo said to Hong, his eyes then turned to Elder Gong, and said: Your military department must ensure the stone spears that the hunting team needs now, and make bows and crossbows as soon as possible, and make armors so that all the soldiers in the clan can wear armor. , What materials are needed, let Hong take the hunting team out to search.
yes.
Xia Tuo calmly handed over the matter to Hong Hegong. He had already expressed his thoughts and ideas, and the next step was to see how the clansmen performed.
Looking at Hong who turned to leave, Xia Tuo suddenly said: Let the deer come over, he will not participate in tribal hunting for the time being.
The deer soon came to the cave, and after Xia Tuo explained to him, the deer left soon.
After setting up four elders at once, Xia Tuo immediately became idle, and then he would nest together by the totem pole every day, wanting to peek into the secrets of the totem, and more than a month passed in a blink of an eye.
One month changed the appearance of the entire tribe. The number of totem warriors in the tribe reached 20. It wasn't that he didn't want more tribesmen to become totem warriors, but that the totem pillar had an invisible restriction.
He still hasn't peeped clearly of this restriction until now. Although his thoughts can be fused with the totem pillar, he can't connect with the silent totem spirit right now.
...
a month later.
Patriarch, I found Madou in the Yellow Leaf Valley five mountains away from the tribe. After eating it, the tribe did not find any symptoms of poisoning.
Shao's complexion was a little pale, and her voice sounded in the cave. A few days ago, she went out and saw a strange fruit on the mountain. After eating it, she almost fainted, and was rescued by the witch.
Of course, Xia Tuo has to bear this blame. He told Shao a legend about tasting herbs a few days ago. From then on, the woman who came from the wild mountains seemed to have found the true meaning of life. .
it is good.
Hearing this, Xia Tuo nodded and comforted Shao. He was really afraid that his Minister of Agriculture would die young.
His eyes fell on the body of the scorpion, and he asked aloud, Is the armor ready?
It is enough for the hunting team to have a pair of armor.
After a month of improvement, the new armor was already very different from the scales that Xia Tuo had strung together with animal skin ropes.
The new armor is lined with cracked stone python skin, with scales of ferocious beasts on the outside, sewn with animal skin ropes as knots, the armor on the legs and feet is double-layered python skin, and the fangs are armored with animal fat. After soaking, the toughness is several times better than before.
These are the results of continuous improvement by the craftsmen of the Ministry of War. Xia Tuo is very satisfied. It is already the best finished product. It can also be seen that primitive people are not stupid, but they just didn't have a concept in their minds at the beginning.
Because of the material, only forty pairs were produced in one month's rush. The only shortcoming is that there is no helmet. The people in the Ministry of War equip each pair of armor with a horned animal skull.
Five bows and crossbows have been made, with hundreds of arrows.
Peng continued to say that compared with the production of armor, the progress of bows and crossbows can be described as slow, mainly due to the problem of materials. The felled Zhe wood needs to be soaked in oil. After many attempts, it was found that Zhe wood had to be soaked for at least 20 days. , Put it in the shade and air dry to have stronger toughness.
As for the simpler arrows, the only trouble is that the arrows are made of animal bones, and the holes are slowly being drilled, and the arrow body is embedded in them.
Having said this, Gong Gong lowered his head in embarrassment, and lowered his voice.
It's just that the bow and crossbow still can't meet the needs of the rock-cracking warriors. At most, if you draw dozens of arrows, the bow arm will crack.
That's good enough.
I was a little embarrassed, but Xia Tuo did not show dissatisfaction. It is not easy to make something from scratch, and the rest needs to be improved slowly.
Talking about what he remembered, he said, Since the bow arm still can't bear the huge force, you can try to reinforce the bow arm with animal skin and tendons.
What he said made Gong Gong's eyes light up, and he nodded quickly.
Well, I have called everyone here today because I have something important to say.
After dealing with the family affairs, Xia Tuo's voice suddenly rose, attracting everyone's attention to him.
The tribe has undergone earth-shaking changes in a short period of time. This is something that no one in the tribe has ever thought about. The appearance of totem warriors, armor, bows and arrows, one after another, made everyone feel that Xia Tuo, a tribe more and more recognized.
In the past, the main thing of the tribe was hunting, and hunting was to fill the stomach. Now the tribe no longer has to suffer from hunger and hunger. The proportion of daily hunting in the tribe's affairs is not so important, freeing up a lot of time It is used to practice and beat the body.
As soon as Xia Tuo finished speaking, Li habitually opened his mouth and said, Leader, please speak, I will listen to you.
These days I let the deer take a look at the mountains and fields around our tribe, everyone come and have a look.
Speaking of which, Xia Tuo got up and walked towards the cave. What appeared in everyone's eyes was a mud platform four to five meters long and wide, with continuous ravines and undulating mountains.
Sand table.
At the very center of this sand table is a small clay figurine standing in a valley, representing the Xia tribe. With the Xia tribe as the center, it spreads in all directions.
There are more than a dozen mountains extending in each direction. In the southwest, under a mountain that looks like a bull head, there is also a clay figurine, which is the Lu tribe.
In addition, among the rolling hills on the entire sand table, there are as many as eight large and small tribes.
This is what Xia Tuo ordered the deer to do in the past month, to check all the mountains around the tribe. Although it is not so accurate and there is no concept of distance, it can roughly show the mountains around the Xia tribe today. situation and environment.
There are not only tribes on the sand table, but also some dangerous places marked, such as swamps, poisonous miasma areas, etc. Xia Tuo almost broke the legs of the deer with one word.
The deer looked at the sand table in the crowd with awe in his eyes, and glanced at Xia Tuo from time to time.
In the past month, after he came back every day and told the patriarch what he saw, he saw the patriarch holding a lump of mud and making out what he said. Every bit of the sand table was built. He witnessed it with his own eyes.
