Chapter 329 The Snake Tribe in the Shady Mountains
The strong wind swept the snowflakes and slapped them on the faces of the warriors.
Shi wrapped the animal skin around his body and squinted his eyes to look at the horizon, but he was blinded by the snowflakes and could not see anything clearly.
"Woo..."
A wolf howl came from afar. This was a beacon to show the way for the warriors and a guide for them to move forward.
"Chief Shi, it's the voice of the third team. Shall we go over?"
The one who asked the question was the new leader of the Wolf Tribe. The leader of the previous generation of the Wolf Tribe had died of old age in the wind and snow.
"Since they issued a call, they must have made a discovery. Let's go and take a look."
Shi covered his mouth with his hand and said loudly.
With Shi's order, the whole team turned around and headed in the direction of the wolf howl.
Several wolf howls were heard in the team, some were used to respond, and some were used to call.
In this bad weather, the bone whistle is of little use, and the sound of wolf howls can still be heard farther.
At this time, the team led by Shi had been lost in the snow and forests for three days. The heavy snow prevented them from relying on the sun to determine their direction, and the chaotic mountains made it impossible for them to distinguish the road, and they always went around in circles.
Now that the exploration team has made some discoveries, Shi will not give up.
Going forward against the snow, they finally arrived at the team's location. The team leader came to Shi and reported what they had seen.
"There is a tribe in the shade of the mountains. Their territory is large, but many houses are dilapidated. From a distance, I can see that there are not many people in their tribe."
Shi nodded and glanced in the direction he pointed. Due to the heavy snow and wind, it was impossible to see clearly. It seems that they found out the information before the snow and wind were not so strong.
"Do you know what tribe it is?" Shi asked.
The team leader shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"It's a snake."
The new leader of the Wolf Tribe came over, and Greedy Wolf walked side by side with him.
"The wolf totem can feel the power of the totem of that tribe. In his perception, it is a snake."
The people of the Wolf Tribe can communicate with the giant wolf on certain specific matters, especially for aggressive animals.
Because the giant wolf's senses are more acute, this way some risks can be predicted for the tribe.
"Let's go and take a look. The warriors need to rest, and the glory of the Fire Tribe also needs to be spread."
Shi nodded to Greedy Wolf, and then took the lead to the shade of the mountain.
This place is located in the middle of two mountains. There is a mountain wind blowing, blowing the snowflakes like blades hitting everyone's faces.
"It's in front."
Not long after walking, the team leader spoke to Shi.
"Okay, let's explore the way first."
For this team, contacting other tribes was already a piece of cake. Immediately, a team of people separated and took the lead to move forward.
This team was not good at fighting, but they were diverse, and each of them mastered two or three primitive languages. They were the messengers of the team.
Looking at them disappearing in the wind and snow, Shi stopped the team and let the warriors eat something simple.
The warriors were not allowed to eat enough because they didn't know if there would be a fight.
Although the Dragon Tribe's rule was overthrown, as Shi ran, he found that the Dragon Tribe was not as powerful as he looked, or in other words, his ruling power was not as strong as he showed.
There were many tribes that were not afraid of the Dragon Tribe, and some tribes didn't even know about the Dragon Tribe.
Shi simply ate half a frozen fish, then stood up and looked towards the place where the delegation disappeared, waiting quietly.
Not long after, the delegation that had set out came back. As they walked towards here, they swung the animal skin on the wooden stick left and right.
The animal skin swung left and right, which meant that the other party was friendly. If it was unfriendly, the wooden stick would start to swing back and forth, and Shi would attack without hesitation.
When the delegation walked in, Shi asked, "Is it the Snake Tribe? What language do they speak?" "
The Snake Tribe speaks the language of the Dragon Tribe, but it is older."
The person who spoke was once a Dragon Tribe warrior, but now he is a member of this team's delegation.
Shi's complexion became better. Speaking the Dragon Tribe language, they probably have some connection with the Dragon Tribe. Such a tribe is easier to deal with.
"Let's go and take a look."
Shi waved his hand, asking the warriors to put away their food and head towards the shade of the mountain.
Not long after they walked forward, they saw the Snake Tribe coming out to greet them, led by a bearded old man.
"Welcome to the leader of the Fire Tribe. I heard that the shameless Dragon Tribe has been driven out of this continent by you. Is that true?"
As soon as he came up, he asked Shi this question, which surprised Shi.
Many tribes that speak the language of the Dragon Tribe do not like the Dragon Tribe, but there are still very few who use the word "shameless" to describe the Dragon Tribe.
"The Dragon Tribe has been driven out of this continent. Now the land of Central Plains is ruled by the fair Fire Tribe."
Shi responded to the words of the Snake Tribe witch, but did not ask the doubts in his heart.
Having communicated with other tribes more, he was very good at dealing with such situations. He knew that asking questions rashly would make him passive, so it would be better to wait for the other party to take the initiative to express their hatred with the Dragon Tribe.
"Thank you, the fair Fire Tribe. The Snake Tribe welcomes you. Thank you for dealing with this traitor for the Snake Tribe. The Snake Tribe is willing to accept the rule of the Fire Tribe and recognize the Fire Tribe's dominance."
Shi was surprised again. This is a relatively remote point in the southwest. The totem tribes encountered here are relatively ignorant and stupid. Many of them don't even know what the Central Plains is, and Shi has to explain it slowly.
As for the Fire Tribe ruling the Central Plains, they don't understand what it means. This witch from the Snake Tribe not only understands it, but also describes the Fire Tribe as a hegemon, which shows that she has extraordinary knowledge.
"Please enter the territory of the Snake Tribe and let us welcome our friends."
The witch of the Snake Tribe said enthusiastically without waiting for Shi to speak, then turned around and personally led Shi to the Snake Tribe.
Passing by rows of neat buildings, these houses were made of a mixture of mud and stone. They looked very solid, but a large part of them looked a bit dilapidated because no one had lived in them for many years.
"The ice age caused a large-scale famine in the Snake Tribe, but fortunately, green plants returned to the mainland."
The witch of the Snake Tribe explained.
Shi nodded to show his understanding. Many tribes on the road were like this. The population declined seriously. It was not until green plants returned to the earth that things got better.
Walking all the way, we came to the totem stone of the Snake Tribe. This was a totem stone that looked like a python stone sculpture. The python sculpture was lifelike and quite elegant.
"Greetings to the Snake Totem. The leader of the Fire Tribe sends his greetings to you on behalf of the Fire Totem."
Shi bowed and saluted, which was the most basic respect for other tribes.
"The Fire Tribe is a polite tribe, not as arrogant as the Dragon Tribe."
The witch of the Snake Tribe said.
His words were very rich, and when he evaluated the Dragon Tribe, he was mostly negative, which made Shi curious about the Snake Tribe.
Through their buildings, the appearance of the totem stone, the ancient language and the rich vocabulary of their witch, it can be judged that this is a tribe with a deep foundation.
But what surprised Shi was that he had never heard other tribes mention this tribe, which made him curious about the past of the Snake Tribe.
