Chapter 73: The Venomous Snake That Doesn’t Hibernate



The early heavy snow had little impact on the Qingque tribe. With enough food, they could look at this snow-covered world with a leisurely attitude.

If you eat too much salted fish and salted meat, you can walk out of the wall, dig some holes in the ice on the river, and bring back some fish to eat fresh fish.

In previous years, when winter came, fruits were the most abundant food, but also the least popular because they did not satisfy hunger.

This year the situation is completely different. People who eat too much fish and meat want to eat more fruits to change their taste.

Nowadays, fruit is no longer considered the staple food of the Qingque tribe, but has become a garnish after meals.

This is a manifestation of the tribe's abundant food.

Just because the Green Bird tribe doesn’t have to worry about food doesn’t mean other tribes don’t have to worry.

For other tribes who had lost at least ten days’ worth of stored food, this early heavy snowfall was simply a disaster!

The Tengshe tribe is now in a crisis of food shortage.

The Tengshe Tribe is a medium-sized tribe with a population of nearly three hundred, including sixty-three adult males alone!

This is a terrifying force. The number of these adult males is almost twice the number of all the adults in the Qingque tribe!

If more women were added, the number of capable fighters in the Tengshe tribe would almost reach one hundred and sixty!

In this era, at least in the vast area nearby, this is definitely a terrifying and powerful force!

There is strength in numbers. While they collect a lot of food, they also consume a lot of food every day. Especially since the Tengshe tribe generally does not exercise much restraint in the food given to the warriors, the food consumption is even more astonishing.

The witch of the Tengshe tribe, seeing that the food in the cave was getting less and less every day, finally called the four leaders of the tribe together and began to discuss the next robbery plan.

Including the targets of the robbery and the number of people who went out to rob.

The second leader of the Tengshe tribe was very excited. In fact, after learning from the witch that this year's heavy snow would fall much earlier than in previous years, he began to look forward to it excitedly.

As smart as he was, he naturally knew what the early snowfall meant to the tribe. Thinking of the tribe that had humiliated him many times, he couldn't help but clench his fists, and from time to time he would let out a hissing laugh like a poisonous snake.

As he was extremely anticipating, the witch finally began to gather them together. They had done this kind of thing many times before and were very familiar with it. The witch didn't need to spend much time explaining it, as they all understood what it meant.

What needs to be discussed now is which tribes to choose as targets for robbery.

The chief with the strongest personal force usually stays in the base camp with most of his people, and goes out to look for other tribes. The other three chiefs are responsible for this, so he does not say much on this matter.

After the witch finished speaking, the second leader of the Tengshe tribe, who had been unable to wait, jumped out impatiently.

"There are tribes there, with plenty of food. Rob them, and you'll have enough to eat."

He pointed his finger in the direction of the east, and then with words and gestures he strongly recommended targets for robbery to the witch and the chief.

The target was naturally the Qingque tribe, with which they had a feud.

Regarding this tribe, the witch and the chief, I had heard about it from the second chief more than once before, so I could say that I had heard about it a long time ago.

According to the description of the second leader of the Tengshe tribe, it was a very wealthy tribe. They had plenty of food, but their fighting power was not very strong, making them an excellent target for robbery.

The scouts had just arrived at the edge of the Qingque tribe when they were discovered. The second leader of the Tengshe tribe was chased like a rabbit running all over the mountains and fields. Naturally, he didn't know how much food the Qingque tribe had.

The reason why he said this was that he wanted the witch and the chief to agree to his plan, to lead people to this hateful tribe, to take away all their food, to let them starve to death, or to be killed by them on the way to snatch food! To capture all their people and eat them or use them as reserve food.

The second leader of the Tengshe tribe was a man as dark and cunning as a snake. What he had said before intentionally or unintentionally now worked. After he stood up and talked about the Qingque tribe, the witch and the chief agreed to his proposal.

This made the second leader of the Tengshe tribe particularly excited.

After him, the four leaders of the Tengshe tribe also stood up and introduced the tribe they discovered to everyone.

The terms used in the introduction are similar to those used by the second leader of the Teng Snake Tribe.

The three leaders of the Tengshe tribe did not speak because they were not the ones who discovered the tribe.

The fourth leader's remarks made the second leader a little annoyed, because this might cause the witch and the chief to change their original ideas.

After the witch and the chiefs discussed for a while, they made a decision to split their troops into two groups. The most powerful chief and the weakest of the four chiefs would lead their men to rob the tribe mentioned by the four chiefs.

The second leader of the Teng Snake tribe, together with the third leader, led people to rob the tribe mentioned by the second leader, which was the Qingque tribe.

The Tengshe tribe has enough manpower. After leaving more than sixty adult women to defend the tribe, they are divided into two groups, and the number of people in each group can still reach a terrifying fifty!

The four leaders of the Tengshe tribe divided into two groups and led the adults of the tribe to the north and east to start their robbery.

Wu Ze led the remaining people to guard their base camp and protect the minors in the tribe.

The people of the tribe who left did not bring much food with them. This was because the several teams that went out to explore and collect food, like the second leader of the Tengshe tribe, left enough food at suitable places along the way.

They have a reason to do so.

Because when they went out to pick and hunt before, they were too far away from the tribe’s base camp. If they just transported some food back, the efficiency was really not satisfactory.

Therefore, it is very necessary to find a place nearby as a temporary gathering place and food storage point.

After picking enough food, they will transport the food from these temporary storage places to the tribe’s base camp.

However, not all of it will be transported, and a considerable portion will be left behind.

This can be used as food reserve for the tribe.

If the tribe is not short of too much food, the witch will send people to bring back the food stored outside for the tribe to eat and help the tribe get out of the difficult times.

If the food gap is really too big, as it is now, the food stored there can be well fed to the team that goes to rob.

This way you can save a lot of energy and get more things done.

These are the wisdoms summarized and passed down by the Tengshe tribe during years of development.
