Chapter 692: Rideable Animals



Following her gaze, I saw a group of people approaching the tribe in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Because these people were coming from the direction of the sunlight, they only looked like an outline and their faces were not very clear.

If an ordinary person were here, he would probably be shocked.

Because the outlines of these people look very strange.

The lower part is thicker than a normal person's, while the upper part is the same as a normal person.

However, the people of this tribe were obviously already familiar with these scenes. After seeing them, they were not afraid, but shouted out with joy.

Some minors even ran up very quickly.

Those outlines gradually approached the tribe, and after a shake, the strange outlines split apart.

The people who looked weird returned to normal, and the thing that looked thicker followed the people and walked together.

A group of armed people entered the tribe from outside, leading some large animals. On the backs of the animals were some picked fruits and some killed prey.

They talked to those who went out to greet them, but did not make any random movements. Led by the man in front who looked very strong, they did not stop until they came in front of the priestess who was standing here.

"¥%6..."

The strong primitive man who was in the lead said something to the priest. After the two talked for a while, the returning group of people began to take down the things on the backs of the animals.

After taking them, someone else led the animals and started walking towards one side of the tribe.

There was a fence made of thick branches, which was a relatively simple circle used to keep the animals.

After the animals were penned in, someone brought in the vines that had been beaten by the women during the sacrifice not long ago.

The animals lowered their heads and began to eat the vines.

They are not afraid of people, nor do they think of escaping from this relatively simple circle. It is obvious that they have long been accustomed to this kind of life and have been domesticated.

It didn't take long for the tribe to start cooking after the strong leader returned.

They put some of the gray-brown fruits that they had picked today into some not-so-sightly pottery, added water, placed it on raised stones, and boiled it over a fire.

Others used stone knives to cut the prey that the leader and his men had hunted, then forked them with branches and roasted them over the fire.

The pottery they used was very different from that of the Green Bird Tribe. It was much simpler and more distorted in comparison.

Such inferior pottery had long been eliminated by the Qingque tribe, but it is still very popular in this tribe.

The food was cooked and everyone started to eat, using crooked utensils that could be called pottery bowls.

Everyone was having a great time eating the boiled fruits and the roasted meat.

When many people had not finished eating, the priestess had already put down the bowl in her hand, not because she ate so fast, but because she was the first to eat.

After eating the food, she looked at everyone who was eating with a smile on her face.

"¥%r..."

After the strong chief finished his meal, the priestess patted him on the shoulder and then went to the larger dome-shaped thatched house in the middle.

After the two men arrived at the dome-shaped thatched house, the priestess brought over the stone slab on which the records were made. In the light of the fire, she pointed to the rows of lines on it and showed them to the leader.

After looking for a while, the leader's expression gradually became solemn.

“¥%…wsed…”

After a moment's silence in the dome room, the priest began to speak.

What she meant was that the fruits growing in the ground were becoming fewer and fewer, and their tribe needed to move further west to another place to continue surviving.

Such things are not uncommon in this tribe. They have long discovered that the amount of fruit produced will decrease after the land is planted several times.

They didn't know why this happened, but they knew that as long as they moved to another place and continued planting, the fruits grown in the ground would increase again.

Over the years, their tribe moved to a new location every few years and headed westward.

They also didn't know how many times they had migrated or how long they had been migrating. Even the wisest female priest in the tribe couldn't say for sure, because the tribe had been living like this since she could remember.

The previous priest and the priest before that lived the same way.

As for when the tribe began to grow food on the land and then eat it, and as for the tribe's sacrifices, it is also unclear.

However, these things that exist in the tribe now make their lives more comfortable.

The strong tribal chief looked up at the roof which was somewhat blackened by the fire, and seemed a little reluctant.

These houses are very difficult to build and the land is not easy to cultivate. If the tribe moves to a new place to live, they will have to go through a more difficult time.

“¥%6…”

Seeing the leader hesitate, the female priest spoke again and told him what happened.

After a while, the tribal leader nodded heavily, indicating that he agreed to this matter.

This tribe has done migration more than once, so they are very experienced.

After making this decision, they did not migrate immediately. Instead, the leader and his men rode the tribal livestock, took up weapons, and headed west to find a suitable place to establish the tribe.

At the same time, she also issued another order, that is, starting from the next day, the people in the tribe should try their best not to eat the gray-brown fruits collected from the ground in the tribe.

Instead, they eat fruits picked from outside, prey hunted, and fish caught.

This is because the fruit collected from the ground is very durable, and their tribe needs to migrate after the ice and snow fall and melt.

When the time comes, new houses will need to be built in new places, and some grass and trees will be burned to develop new land, all of which will consume manpower.

This will result in them not having much time to get food.

These fruits harvested from the ground will become their main food.

Along with this order, an order was also issued that from now on, everyone should not eat too much when eating.

Because during this period, they need to store as much food as possible.

The tribe would go through a similar thing every time they migrated, but they didn't care much about such a sacrifice of the suffering woman.

Because as long as they can hold on, it won't take too long for their tribe to live a more prosperous life again...
