Chapter 420: There are hot springs in the Snow Mountain Range (seeking votes and subscriptions).

There is no doubt that this is caused by geothermal heat, which shows that Luo Chong's previous guess about the volcano was correct. Youye and his team did find the vicinity of the volcano.

In addition, the temperature of the hot spring is always smoking, so it should be very hot. Then there is the color and smell. The color is like an antelope in summer, so isn't it yellow? Combined with the pungent smell, Luo Chong initially determined that this should be a sulfur spring.

Most natural volcanic hot springs contain sulfur, but the content varies. Although sulfur has a pungent smell, it is not useless. In modern times, there has always been a habit of fumigating things with sulfur, such as smoked ginger. Although it was later confirmed to be harmful to the human body, there were still many such uses in the early days of the founding of the country. Some areas even have the habit of fumigating steamed buns with sulfur. It is said that this is for easy storage and not easy to mold and grow hair. I don't know if it is true or not.

In addition to being used to prepare food, there is no need to say more about its industrial uses. The basic formula of black gunpowder, which is one nitrate, two sulfur and three charcoal, is basically known to modern people. No, even some people in ancient times knew it, although this is not the most powerful formula version of black gunpowder.

In addition, it is used to vulcanize industrial products, such as making rubber. Although Luo Chong has not found any rubber trees

, this does not prevent Luo Chong from being interested in this sulfur spring. After all, it is a resource point, even if it is used to make black gunpowder, although he already has nitrate explosives

. Well, it is useless no matter how you look at it, but Luo Chong still wrote this place down and continued to look at other parts of the map.

According to the observations of Youye and his party, the snow-capped mountain predicted by the stone tablet of the northern tribal alliance does exist. It is a towering snow-capped mountain. From a distance, it looks like the top of the mountain has been cut off. It seems to be the predicted volcano.

However, the volcano does not exist alone. The entire northern skyline is cut off by the endless snow-capped mountains. Luo Chong would believe that it is the source of water for the entire continent.

But no one knows what is on the other side of the mountain range. It is estimated that it is very difficult to explore, and there is basically no possibility of success. Besides, it is useless to go so far to explore now. The small piece of land in front of your home has not been sorted out yet, so don't covet such a far place, anyway, it is out of reach now.

Secondly, the distribution of the settlements of the cannibal tribe. There are many settlements marked on the map, covering a large area, but Luo Chong can't say how big it is. After all, this map is not drawn according to the scale. Who knows how big it is.

Moreover, the settlement of the cannibals is not on the snow mountain, but close to the foot of the mountain on the south side of the snow mountain range. It is about two or three days away from the mountain range. This is Youye's own speculation. He can't say how far it is.

In addition, the settlements of the cannibal tribe are very scattered. They don't have a city like the Han tribe, where a large number of people gather together, but are scattered in the form of tribes at the foot of the vast mountain.

Well, if they really belong to the same force, it is not wrong to regard these settlements as villages.

In addition, according to the records of the tour, there are many different customs among these settlements. For example, some villages are full of animal skin tents, some villages are thatched houses made of branches and grass, and some dig underground caves, or simply live in the woods, and even the settlements are directly built on the trees, making them look like bird nests.

Of course, these are just some of the typical ones. There are many other styles of houses that are not mentioned, such as stone houses built with stones, and small earthen mounds made of mud. From a distance, they look like a pile of graves, but only a few people know that they are actually empty and can be lived in.

But then again, the reason why Youye still concluded that they were the same cannibal tribe, rather than separate tribes, was because they all had similar human bone totems, and most of the male tribesmen were painted with white totem patterns. Seeing

this, you will know why Youye judged that they were all cannibals, because their costumes were almost exactly the same as those of the cannibal totem warriors who went to attack the Han tribe, so even if they were not them, they must have an inseparable relationship with them.

It's a pity that you can't find a village to ask and learn more specific information, such as their language, the relationship between these villages, and their origins.

However, based on the only information currently available, Luo Chong thinks that this is a cannibal tribe, but this is not too accurate. Instead, it should be said that it is a village composed of people snatched back by the cannibals, so they didn't kill all the captured captives?

This speculation actually has a lot of basis. If they are native locals, then they should all live in the same house. Why make so many strange houses of various shapes and colors?

So there is only one truth, that is, the people in these villages are all captives captured by the cannibals every time they go out. In the end, when there is no escape, they have to accept their fate and stay. However, they still retain the living habits before being captured, so when they rebuild their new homes, they continue their previous habits. This should be the reason why the other side's residence is diverse.

However, there is another question, that is, what role does the giant ape play in the cannibals, why did Youye and his team not see the red-haired giant ape in these small villages?

This is a big problem, which is related to the overall organizational structure of the enemy. If you don't even understand this, how can you know yourself and the enemy.

Another thing is the level of civilization development of the cannibal population and their lifestyle.

They do not live by planting crops, but mainly hunting, supplemented by breeding, and eating people as a punishment or entertainment, a way of life for sacrifice.

As for the way of hunting, multiple people cooperate to hunt, use flying stones, spears, traps, and bows and arrows that have only been learned in the past one or two years, which seems to be relatively advanced.

Their prey is mainly foxes, rabbits, snow wolves, snow leopards, white lions, and Deinonychus.

There is also a kind of food that everyone is used to, the high rock goat. It is a kind of goat with gray-yellow fur that lives in the mountains. It is basically the same as rabbits. It belongs to the lowest level of the ecosystem of this generation. Basically anyone can eat it. If it were not for their ability to climb rocks, they would have been eaten to extinction long ago. Or they may be domesticated and raised. However, it is difficult to catch a live goat on the cliffs, which is why it has not been domesticated by cannibals. If you want to raise it, at least you have to find a live one.
