The aroma of food is in the air.

The food was not very good. It was just a small amount of rice mixed with a large amount of dehydrated and dried wild vegetables, and a little bit of salty porridge cooked with dried meat.

But this food, which is very common in the Green Bird Tribe, is eaten voraciously by the people of the Sharp Tooth Tribe who have just entered the Green Bird Tribe and become slaves.

To them, this is just a common delicacy in the world.

“Wuwuwu…”

A man from the Sharp Tooth Tribe couldn't help but shed tears while eating.

At the beginning, she was crying silently while putting food into her mouth quickly.

But after a while, I couldn't help crying.

She was not crying for the food, but for the extremely dark and unrememberable life before her.

Crying is contagious.

At the beginning, many people were able to hold back their tears, but after being moved by this person, they could no longer hold back their tears.

Looking at the food in the bowl and thinking back to their previous life, they couldn't bear it anymore and started crying along with the woman.

The leader of the Sharp Tooth Tribe was already in tears.

In terms of food quality alone, what they eat now is indeed not as good as the food they ate in the previous period.

But, he really, really doesn't want to eat that kind of food!

If he had any way, he would never have behaved like the beast he did before.

Now, I have come to the Qingque tribe. Although I have lost some things, I have also been freed from the kind of life that people cannot even recall.

Not only himself but also many people in his tribe were liberated.

During this process, many people in his tribe died, and some people also lost things. It seemed that the price paid was very high.

But in fact, the leader of the Sharp Tooth Tribe felt that the price was not high.

Because before this, he himself had no confidence that he could lead the people in the tribe through this difficult season.

I’m not sure whether any people in my tribe can survive in the end!

"@##2!"

The leader of the Sharp Tooth tribe, who had been holding the bowl and crying for a while, suddenly put the bowl aside, and got out of bed while enduring the severe pain. He lay down on the ground with difficulty but determination, facing Han Cheng, and said these words.

The rest of the Sharp Tooth tribe members, influenced by their leader, followed his example, put their bowls aside, gritted their teeth and struggled to get out of bed, crawled on the ground with difficulty, shed tears, and said devoutly: "@##2!"

Such words and such rituals represent submission to the Sharp Tooth Tribe, and it is the most highly qualified kind of submission.

Once these words are spoken, these people will remain forever loyal to the object of their declaration of allegiance.

No matter what I do, I will do it!

Even when food is scarce and they are in danger, they will cut off their own flesh and feed it to those who have sworn allegiance!

In the Sharp Tooth Tribe, such things rarely happen.

Even though he was the leader of the Sharp Fang Tribe, only two people in the entire tribe had sworn this oath to him.

At this moment, including adults and children, a total of thirty-seven people, prostrated themselves in front of a person they had only met for less than a day, and said such words.

This includes their leader!

This is really a miracle.

Han Cheng could see that the other party was expressing gratitude or submission.

But Han Cheng didn't know what the standards of this kind of submission and gratitude were or what special meaning it had.

Because of these people's actions, some of their wounds were broken open.

Seeing this, Han Cheng quickly told them to get up and started to support them.

After realizing that Han Cheng wanted them to get up, these people got up, returned to their original positions and continued eating.

In the past, many people felt a little uncomfortable when eating the food provided by the Green Bird Tribe.

However, after experiencing what happened just now, that feeling of being unable to let go disappeared all of a sudden.

When they started eating again, there was no longer any feeling of restraint at all!

That's too open!

Looking at these people eating food without any courtesy, Han Cheng couldn't help but twitch his face.

It seems that your behavior and performance just now were just for the purpose of being able to eat the food in the tribe with peace of mind now!

Fortunately, I was moved just now...

"@#WQSS..."

After eating the most filling and comfortable meal in a while, the leader of the Sharp Fang Tribe began to speak.

He was asking Han Cheng when he was going to look for that kind of stone.

If you want it now, you can go now.

After understanding what he conveyed, Han Cheng was very moved and had an urge to set off immediately.

But after taking a closer look at the conditions of these people, he suppressed this idea.

Let's wait and see about this matter.

Otherwise, they would not be able to get far from the tribe, and more than half of the people who had just joined their tribe and became slaves would be killed...

"Wait a little longer, until your injuries have healed and the weather is warmer before going."

Han Cheng said this.

After Mao's translation, these people understood the meaning of what Han Cheng said, and there was no doubt that he gained a lot of goodwill in their hearts.

This made them feel very comfortable and they felt that their previous choice was not wrong.

The person in front of me is a very good person to be loyal to...

“…They said that there was a very large, very evil and tyrannical tribe over there that had gone mad and was frantically attacking the surrounding tribes and plundering all their food.

Their tribe could no longer survive in their original place, so they thought of robbing a tribe that built houses on trees.

After getting some food from the tribe, they left with the food and looked for a new place to live.

But the Feigao tribe that built houses and lived in trees was very powerful.

Even if many strong people in their tribe left the tribe and did not live in the tribe, they would not be able to defeat them...

The iron ore was picked up near that tribe..."

Mao came to Han Cheng's side and began to tell Han Cheng the information he had obtained after talking with these people not long ago.

After hearing what Mao said, Han Cheng was stunned.

It seems that he knows all about the two tribes he mentioned!

One of them was extremely domineering and powerful, and did not allow people from other tribes to grow and eat rice.

The other lives high up in a tree.

And the distance between the two tribes is not particularly far.

If one of these two tribes emerged alone, he would not be too suspicious.

Now that the two tribes appeared together, he couldn't help but think about this.

Thinking of this, Han Cheng couldn't help but sniff.

The reason for this is that Han Cheng suddenly discovered that the Sharp Tooth Tribe came to attack his tribe, and after all, the relationship between them was very close to his own tribe.

Han Cheng didn't need to think too much to know why the people of the Red Tiger Tribe suddenly went crazy and started plundering food everywhere.

This must have been done after he and his men took away a large amount of food from the tribe, in order to fill the food gap in the tribe.

If this is really the case, then it seems that the people of my tribe were too harsh on the people of the Sharp Tooth Tribe before!

The iron ore actually appeared near the Youchao tribe. There was actually an iron ore mine in the Youchao tribe.

Han Cheng had never thought of such a thing before.

Nonsense, if he could have thought of it, he would have brought people or ordered people to get it long ago. Why would he wait until now?

The Red Tiger Tribe is really a good place!

After thinking back and forth in his mind for a while, Han Cheng's thoughts once again came to the Red Tiger Tribe.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Where it exists, there are salt soil and copper mines.

Don't worry about eating salt or casting things with copper.

There are a lot of shallow waters around the tribe, which are very good places for growing rice.

Now, an iron mine has appeared in the Youchao tribe, which is not too far away from the Red Tiger tribe. This is truly a Feng Shui treasure land!

It would be great if there was a coal mine there!

Coal can be used to directly smelt copper and iron ore to produce metal weapons and work tools.

Large areas of water can be used to grow rice, producing large amounts of food.

Salt soil can ensure that people do not lack the most needed spice in their lives...

Han Cheng couldn't help but smile, thinking that he was overthinking.

It is already very rare to have so many mineral resources in such an area. How can we expect to have coal mines?

but……

How great would it be if such a precious piece of land could belong to our own tribe?

Thinking about the advantages of the Red Tiger Tribe, the more Han Cheng thought about it, the more he felt that the Red Tiger Tribe was indeed a very suitable place for human survival, settlement and development.

Its advantages are much greater than Jinguan City!

After realizing these advantages, he couldn't help but imagine in his mind what it would be like if people from his tribe could live there.

There is no doubt that the Green Bird Tribe, which has its own existence, will definitely be better at developing and utilizing the surrounding resources than the Red Tiger Tribe.

We will definitely use these mineral resources to seek more and greater benefits for the tribe and make the tribe stronger!

Thinking this in his mind, Han Cheng became more and more excited, and felt that his idea was feasible.

It seems that I still have to continue to intensify the exploitation of the Red Tiger Tribe!

Han Cheng couldn't help but hold their hands together.

Such a decision may not be fair to the rest of the tribes and will cause a lot of bloodshed and sacrifice.

This will cause many tribes to suffer hardships that they should not have suffered.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

In this world, it is basically rare to find a way to have the best of both worlds and solve problems perfectly.

Most things are full of contradictions and conflicts.

It is too difficult to balance the development of one's own tribe with the development of other tribes!

At the beginning, Han Cheng always tried to balance things out.

But after experiencing more things, he found that such a thing was basically impossible.

Because, in many cases, resources are limited.

If your own tribe uses it more, other tribes will use it less...

When encountering such a thing, there is no doubt that the Qingque tribe will be the main focus, with the Qingque tribe as the core.

There is no way around it.

He is not a saint. He cannot put others before himself, abandon the interests and development of his own tribe, and take into account the interests of other irrelevant people.

If you are successful, you should help the world.

He is just an ordinary person without any great abilities or ambitions, so he can only take care of himself and his tribe first...

Thinking about these things in his mind, Han Cheng gradually made up his mind to annex or expel the Red Tiger Tribe and make the area where the Red Tiger Tribe lived and the mineral resources there into his own tribe.

It would be a real loss if we don’t give such a good place to our own tribe!

It can be predicted that once that area is seized and a new branch tribe is established there for development and construction, with its abundant resource advantages, it will definitely become the core area of ​​their tribe south of the Qinling Mountains!

It is only a matter of time before the city surpasses the current Jinguan City!

After standing here and thinking for a while, Han Cheng, full of excitement, left here and walked towards the place where the furnace was built.

Here, the second brother and others are still pushing and pulling the bellows continuously, continuously supplying air into the furnace, making the charcoal fire inside burn more vigorously and at a higher temperature.

"Son of God, the carbon inside is almost burned out. There is no way to add more carbon. You can release it and see what it looks like."

After Han Cheng waited here for a while, the second senior brother loosened his grip on the bellows handle, stood up, looked at the furnace which was about one person tall, and gave this opinion.

After a long period of operation, the second senior brother had already surpassed Han Cheng, who was not even a novice, in the matter of smelting.

Han Cheng knew this.

Han Cheng, who has always been self-aware, nodded without much hesitation, indicating that his second senior brother should handle the matter according to his own ideas.

After getting Han Cheng's consent, the second brother picked up a shovel and shoveled a trench about half a meter deep and more than twenty centimeters wide on one side of the stove.

Then he used a long-handled copper cone in his hand to pierce the furnace wall...
