Chapter 9 Barbarian Tribe
The next day, the company was approaching the end of the workday.
"Did you hear? That stripper from yesterday is back again."
Sister Peng said excitedly, "It's still in your Jiuyuan Community. I said it was dangerous, right? Luckily you took my car yesterday, otherwise if you had encountered a pervert, I wouldn't dare to think about it."
To express his gratitude, Lu Yao ordered a small takeout cake and a cup of coffee for her.
After get off work, he rode a shared electric bike and sped all the way. Lu Yao had calculated that compared to buses, electric bikes would not be stuck in traffic jams and could take a shortcut home, so in theory they were the fastest means of transportation.
…
After returning home, Lu Yao couldn't wait to sit in front of the computer.
On the screen, the winter in the pixel world has passed. The snow covering the ground and trees has disappeared, replaced by green shoots and green grass.
The little people of the garlic tribe further cultivated the land, and the little people of the forest tribe began to hunt everywhere, and everyone returned to their familiar lives.
Looking at the neatly arranged and ever-expanding wheat fields on the ground, even Lu Yao, a god, felt happy.
The prophet and the shaman were standing outside the temple, seemingly chatting privately again.
The two little men had smiling faces on their heads from time to time, and they looked relaxed and comfortable.
The shaman said: "The ancestors of the forest tribe were once believers of the old god, the God of the Forest, but that is also a story passed down by the elders. It is said that it happened in the last era."
"The elders said that before the forest god disappeared, this forest covered half of the world. At that time, all wild beasts were friends of the forest tribe, and fierce demons were tamed and became servants. Every person in the forest tribe had a long life, lived in symbiosis with the trees, and possessed the power bestowed by the gods."
"But that is too far away from now, so far away that we can't be sure which of them are true and which are false."
"Since the time of the last shaman, the forest tribes have been suffering from a chronic lack of food. The winters are getting colder, the animals are becoming fewer and fewer, and the rainfall is becoming less frequent. The shadows of the devil's followers have begun to linger in it, and the forest is withering."
"My friend, I need to make a difficult decision now. We want to move out of the forest and worship the temple. Can God Yao accept the forest tribe?"
An exclamation mark appeared above the prophet's head, and then a light bulb came on.
"As long as you are a devout believer, you will be protected by God Yao. The Garlic Tribe welcomes you!"
At the same time, a prompt appeared on the screen.
[The Garlic Tribe and the Forest Tribe merged, and their faith was slightly improved. ]
[The gift is completely completed, and wheat is integrated into the world. ]
Lu Yao quickly looked to the upper right corner.
The faith value jumped from 79 points to 237 points, and the population increased from 38 to 196.
Lu Yao couldn't help but punch in the air.
Done!
The early investment and patient waiting have all paid off at this time.
After the two tribes officially merged, the people of the forest tribe moved out of the forest one after another. They also learned from the garlic tribe to build huts, open up arable land, and grow wheat and garlic.
On the other hand, the hunter groups of the forest tribes still remain. They go into the forest regularly to continue hunting and bring back meat and leather that the Garlic Tribe lacks.
Gradually, the people of the Garlic Tribe also put on leather vests, and from their appearance alone, it was impossible to tell the people from the two tribes apart.
The New Garlic Tribe is thriving, but the Pig and Fish brothers are in trouble.
At some point, they started walking together and entered the farthest western area of the forest, where it bordered the mountains.
At this time they all sounded the warning and ran all the way to the tribe.
"There are enemies in the forest!"
"The enemy is attacking!"
“Alarm, alarm!”
The two heroes' discovery galvanized the entire tribe into action.
Led by the prophet and the shaman, the hunters picked up their wooden spears and prepared for battle.
Soon, the enemy in the western forest revealed its true face.
They were a group of wild men wearing animal skins and holding stone axes. There were only a dozen of them, but they were very fierce and fought with more than thirty hunters.
"Hand over the food!"
"Hand over the food! Otherwise I'll kill you!"
"If we don't give them food, all heretics will die!"
The hunters had a hard time facing these wild men, but fortunately, there were the Pigfish brothers, and these two heroes showed their worth.
They were armed with sticks and specialized in sneak attacks on the savages from behind, and they were very agile, so it was difficult for the savages to hurt them.
This fighting style was simple and effective, causing the savages to suffer repeated defeats.
Soon the savages were driven back, cursing as they went away.
"You dare to resist? You're dead!"
"No food, poor tribe, poverty!"
"You refuse to hand over the food. We will be back!"
"Wash your neck and wait for death! Heretic!"
Lu Yao felt a little regretful.
The tribal villain was unable to kill the bandits directly, he just drove them away and returned.
He wondered whether he should send out a bolt of lightning to let the prophets and shamans in the tribe understand the spirit of the gods and wipe out the wild bandits completely.
Then the shaman spoke.
"It's a tribe of barbarians. They live in the mountains. They have no wisdom and are as fierce as wild beasts."
"The Barbarian tribe is very powerful, and every member is a strong warrior. They have been plundering food from the surrounding tribes. Hand over the food so that they won't attack you."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"A large part of the food of the forest tribes was taken away by them."
"They are followers of the devil. They have acquired the devil's power and can transform into wild beasts. We cannot fight them."
Lu Yao suddenly realized.
It turns out that the black bear from last time was a warrior from the barbarian tribe.
Without wisdom, they are as ferocious as wild beasts...
No wonder the guy last time couldn’t even recognize the Garlic Tribe and the Forest Tribe, attacked the wrong target, and was executed on the spot by Lu Yao with lightning.
The Forest Tribe was very wary of demons. They had long been threatened and blackmailed by the Barbarian Tribe, and if even the Garlic Tribe next door was a demon believer, then they would really have no choice but to turn to the demons.
The barbarian tribe had strong limbs and simple minds, which made Lu Yao feel a little relieved. These barbarians would only rush forward in groups, so they were not difficult to deal with.
Lu Yao looked at the potted plants on the table: "Small fire."
"God, your loyal servant obeys your orders." The cactus immediately jumped out of the potting soil and stood upright.
"Can all devil followers turn into beasts?"
"My Lord God, turning into a beast should be a kind of demonic ability." Xiaohuo said: "Only a very small number of believers, a group called 'heroes', can awaken the power of demons and use this ability."
So that's how it is.
Lu Yao recalled that the last time the black bear was killed by lightning, its body was preserved intact, because he was a hero among the devil's believers and was stronger than an ordinary pixel man.
He looked at the Pig and Fish brothers again.
You two brothers are both heroes, so why don’t you have any special abilities?
Lu Yao clicked on the panels of the two heroes and suddenly realized that his assertion was hasty.
…
【Hero Lv2】Fisherman
Attack 2 Defense 1 Knowledge 0 Mana 0 Luck 2 Morale 0 [Ability]
Water Finding Skill Lv1: Can find water in any environment.
…
【Hero Lv2】Hunter
Attack 3 Defense 2 Knowledge 0 Mana 0 Luck 0 Morale 0 [Ability]
Tracking Skill Lv1: Able to identify traces left by various people and animals.
…
The Pig and Fish brothers actually upgraded secretly.
Neither of these two awakened abilities are combat skills, but their functionality is pretty good.
With the tracking technique, it’s no wonder that he can discover the presence of barbarian tribes.
I wronged you.
mine.
Lu Yao turned his gaze to the mountains in the west of the forest, where the barbarian tribes lived.
You want to leave after offending the gods?
It's not that easy.
