The female priest of the Semi-agricultural tribe suffered from insomnia. She stood at the door of the house where she lived, looking at the things that seemed hazy under the moonlight. Then she recalled the words said by the leaders of the Semi-agricultural tribe, and her heart was filled with turmoil.
Although she had never seen such a terrifying scene as raging waves.
After suffering like this for a long time, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and turned to the house where the leader of the semi-agricultural tribe and some other people lived...
The leader of the semi-agricultural tribe, feeling something, woke up from his sleep. Seeing the blurry figure in front of him, he couldn't help but shivering. He clasped his hands across his chest, and the strong sleepiness he had just felt was gone instantly.
“…”
Only after the figure in front of him made a sound did he breathe a sigh of relief, but he did not loosen his hands that were clasped across his chest. Instead, he looked at the figure in front of him with confusion.
Why is the female priest not sleeping at this time and coming here to find me...
A moment later, two people came out of the house one after another, and after standing in the yard, the female priest of the semi-agricultural tribe began to speak.
After talking for a while, he would point around and ask the leader to look.
As the priestess of the Ban-Agricultural Tribe spoke, the leader of the Ban-Agricultural Tribe slowly loosened his hands on his chest, and a look of surprise gradually emerged on his face under the moonlight. As the priestess continued to speak, his surprise showed signs of turning into shock.
Is the mysterious Qingque tribe really that scary?!
However, when the image of a large group of howling wolves chasing after them appeared in his mind, the shock that was about to transform disappeared instantly.
How could there be so many wolves around such a powerful tribe?
After this thought came to mind, the suffocating sense of fear that the priestess had constructed with words suddenly disappeared a lot.
Moreover, the leader of the semi-agricultural tribe, who had come out of this fear, began to question the priestess's speculations.
He could see those ochre-colored mountain walls through the branches and leaves in the forest. Although he couldn't see them clearly, he knew that there were many of them and that their range was very large.
How could such a mountain wall be built by humans?
He had also built houses. These low houses in his tribe were very difficult to build and took up a lot of energy from all the tribesmen. And that was under the premise that they were supported by the fruits planted in the fields.
By inferring others from oneself, one can naturally come to the conclusion that this matter is not feasible.
How many people and how much time would it take to build those mountain-like walls?
This was simply impossible in his opinion.
Besides, a low house is already very good to live in, so why spend so much effort to make something like this?
And I didn't seem to see much dry grass used as roofs on those earth-colored mountain walls. My impression was that there were only some black, strange-looking stones on the mountain walls.
He turned his head to look at the dry grass covering the houses in his tribe, and became more convinced that the yellowish-brown mountain wall was formed naturally and not created by humans.
As for the large area of land around the mountain wall with little grass and trees, although this seems strange, it is not something we have not encountered before during hunting and migration, although not on such a large scale.
After having this idea in mind, the priestess's suggestion of migrating to another place or returning directly to the last place of residence suddenly seemed unwise.
After all the hard work since the beginning of spring until now, the tribe has finally managed to gain a foothold here. But now you say you want to leave here and go through this again. Aren’t you kidding me?
The tribe was able to support this migration because of the fruits that had been accumulated in the past, but now there are not many of these accumulated fruits left.
The new harvest this year is not much, and it will not be enough to support another migration without waiting for two or three years.
After being frightened by the female priest, the leader of the semi-agricultural tribe actually felt that his brain was working exceptionally well.
These things that he had not thought much about in the past now became clear and logical.
He told the priestess what he was thinking. After listening to him, the priestess was silent for a while.
Because she actually felt that what the leader of the semi-agricultural tribe said made sense.
After listening to the leader's words, she thought about her previous thoughts again and felt that they were a bit overly worrying and unrealistic.
Yes, it took so much effort for our tribe to build such houses and open up these lands. How could that tribe be able to come up with such amazing things?
Moreover, after a few years of cultivation, the crops no longer grow well and new land needs to be found.
Under such circumstances, why did the tribe build such a huge tribe?
If we can’t take it with us when we migrate, isn’t it a waste of effort?
If this tribe was really as powerful as he thought, just as the leader said, there wouldn't be such a large group of wolves around the tribe...
Following the thoughts of the semi-agricultural tribe leader, the wise female priest actually felt that what the leader said was absolutely right.
At this time, she did not realize that she, who originally wanted to persuade the leader, was actually persuaded by the strong leader.
The two of them talked in the yard for a while, then went back to their rooms to sleep.
The female priest of the semi-agricultural tribe felt dizzy, but after the leader's persuasion and education, the panicked sense of urgency and crisis in her heart basically disappeared, and she felt very relaxed.
She lay down again and wanted to fall asleep, but she still felt a little uneasy, as if something was not right.
She sorted out the whole thing again according to the leader's ideas, but still didn't find anything missing or wrong.
Live here for a while, and when the fruits planted in the tribe ripen twice and have enough food, leave here and live on another land.
Being here always makes her feel frightened.
After making this decision, images of exquisite pottery and delicious salt appeared in her mind.
She stared at the dark ceiling in a daze for a while, then shook her head to stop thinking about these two things.
After shaking his head, he decided not to investigate the secrets of the Qingque tribe anymore.
After these decisions were made, the female priestess of the semi-agricultural tribe felt a lot more relaxed...
