The tribe where the bark lived, which had become a ruin, welcomed new visitors again today.
The eldest brother and others will rest here tonight.
This is the southernmost area of the Blackrock Tribe coalition's sphere of influence.
Looking at the low and rough walls surrounding the cave that was somewhat blackened by smoke, the eldest brother and other people from the Qingque tribe couldn't help but smile.
This smile contained pride for his tribe and ridicule for Treebark, who had once been outcast.
How could others easily imitate what Professor Shen Zi gave to himself and others?
How could their Qingque tribe be imitated by just anyone?
If they force themselves to imitate, they will only be like tree bark, building a wall that is not even as good as the pigpen of their tribe...
As night fell, a fire started inside the cave where Treebark once lived.
After a day's journey, everyone fell asleep quickly after having dinner and soaking their feet in hot water. Only two people who were assigned to keep watch were still asleep.
The two of them did not keep watch together. Instead, one of them stood guard at the entrance of the cave that was blocked with stones, and the other was in the middle of the cave, guarding the burning fire and adding firewood from time to time to prevent it from going out.
In fact, besides the two of them, there was another person who was not asleep in the cave, and that person was the leader of the Grass Tribe.
People who are worried or think too much are always prone to insomnia, and the leader of the Grass Tribe is one of them.
Although she closed her eyes at this moment, her mind was very active, thinking over and over again about things that she had thought about more than once before.
The reason for this situation is not only because what she wants to do is too important. If she fails, the consequences will be extremely serious.
Another reason is that she finally returned to a familiar place, and in a few days she will be able to return to her original tribe.
Another reason is that the leader of the Grass Tribe has not yet figured out how to completely leave the Green Bird Tribe.
Originally, the leader of the Grass Tribe thought that as long as she could follow the people of the Green Bird Tribe north and return to her original tribe, she could find a way to leave the Green Bird Tribe.
But when she really followed the team north, she found that her previous thoughts seemed to be extremely wrong.
Along the way, the people of the Qingque tribe remained vigilant under the orders of their leader, who was called the eldest brother.
There was no chance for her to escape.
For example, now, logically speaking, living in such a cave and blocking the entrance of the cave with stones is already very safe.
There won't be any wild animals coming.
Even if a wild beast came, it would not be able to open such a cave entrance. However, the leader insisted on arranging people to take shifts and guard it here all night.
Moreover, it is not enough to arrange one, but two at once...
Whenever the leader of the Grass Tribe thought about this, he felt extremely depressed.
Ever since she met the Green Bird Tribe, she felt like she was constantly being pressed to the ground and rubbed.
She couldn't beat him, and she couldn't even think about using the wisdom that she had always been proud of in front of the Son of God in the tribe.
Moreover, in addition to the Son of God, there are many people with great wisdom in the tribe.
For example, the witch who looks very old, the beautiful-looking circle that is round everywhere, and the stone and others are all much wiser than her.
This time, there was not a single one of these people in the team heading north. The leader of the Grass Tribe suddenly felt relieved and felt that his wisdom finally had a place to be put to use.
However, when she was in the tribe, the leader, who was not known for his wisdom, easily suppressed her...
This feeling was so uncomfortable that it made the leader of the Grass Tribe doubt his life more than once.
She really couldn't understand why the Qingque tribe could have so many wise people all of a sudden...
I don't know how long it took, but after thinking for a long time and still not coming up with any good ideas, the leader of the Grass Tribe finally fell asleep...
After breakfast the next morning, this seemingly large group of people set out again and headed directly towards the Black Rock Tribe.
There is a reason why we went directly to the Blackrock Tribe instead of going to each tribe one by one.
The first is that, in this era, there were no existing roads connecting the various tribes.
Moreover, due to the constraints of the environment, as well as the way of life and transportation, the daily activities of a tribe will not be too large. Generally, they will radiate outward from the place where the tribe lives as the center.
The radius is basically the distance you can travel back and forth in a day.
This results in one tribe often not knowing how to get to another tribe.
For example, those who belong to the Blackrock Alliance basically only know how to get to their own tribe from the Blackrock Tribe, and how to get to one or two, or two or three surrounding tribes from their own tribe. They don't know more than that.
The second is that there is meteorite iron in the Blackrock Tribe. This is what the eldest brother and others who have seen the usefulness of meteorite iron tools have been coveting.
Now that I'm here, I naturally need to go there early and get the meteorite iron.
So, after everyone left the tribe where Treebark was, they headed directly towards the Blackstone Tribe...
The somewhat scorching sun was shining down, and there were some people under the shade of the trees outside the Blackrock Tribe cave.
These people look very carefree, lying under the shade of the trees and enjoying the cool breeze, looking extremely comfortable.
Pine Needle sat up from the ground, opened his mouth and yawned loudly, then habitually looked towards the south side of the cave.
As usual, no one showed up in the south.
If Song Zhen had not witnessed the bravery of the leader holding the Black Stone weapons and the people of his tribe more than once, and if so many people were going out at once this time, he would have been a little worried about the leader and the others.
Pine Needle was the strongest person left in the tribe after the leader of the Black Rock Tribe took away a group of people. His status in the tribe was not low on weekdays, so after the leader of the Black Rock Tribe left, Pine Needle became the temporary leader of the remaining people in the Black Rock Tribe.
The sound from his stomach brought Pine Needle, who was staring blankly towards the south, back to his senses.
He looked down at his stomach and touched it.
"#￥R%..."
After a moment he spoke, pointing towards the river not too far from the cave.
Then a few people who were not particularly strong lazily stood up from the ground and walked towards that direction with a few minors.
After a while, these people returned with some fish strung on branches.
Seeing the fish in these people's hands, Song Zhen couldn't help but mutter to himself.
I don't know what's going on, but these fish cages that used to be very useful are now becoming less and less useful. I catch fewer and fewer fish every day, and today I caught even fewer fish.
Of course, these fish were not enough for them to eat, but the pine needles did not make people want to hunt.
With bows and arrows, hunting is much simpler and easier than before.
In the past few years, many people in the Blackrock Tribe have become lazy, relying on food sent by conquered tribes and tools such as fish cages to easily obtain food.
They no longer wanted to hunt and just wanted to enjoy the food that was ready.
The stomachs of these fish were cut open, and the slippery fish intestines, which contained mud, water plants, and other internal organs, were thrown to the minors who had been brought from the Blue Flower Tribe.
The remaining fish were roasted and eaten by Song Zhen and other authentic Black Stone tribe members.
After eating two fish and being half full, Song Needle lay lazily under the tree again, resting his head on the roots and looking to the south.
Then, as usual, I imagined the leader leading his men to defeat the Green Bird Tribe and coming back with all kinds of good things.
Then he can eat the food to his heart's content.
This was the idea of Pine Needles and the vast majority of the Black Rock Tribe who remained in the cave - for now they could just rely on things like fish cages to hang on to their lives, and when the leader and the others came back with enough food, everything would be fine.
Anyway, it is impossible to go hunting, and I won't go hunting if I'm hungry.
The weather is so hot and hunting is so tiring, it is so comfortable to lie in the shade of the trees and enjoy the cool breeze.
Not all tribes have a worldly-wise time traveler like Han Cheng, and not all tribes have wise people who can continue to hunt and obtain food diligently as before after the living conditions of the tribe have been improved to a certain extent.
Laziness is an excellent quality that is possessed by both primitive and modern people.
After eating the food, Song Needle lay here thinking. I don't know how long it took before I fell asleep in a daze.
In his dream, he saw the leader and his men coming back with enough food to last them all.
This made him laugh out loud and he woke himself up with laughter.
After waking up with a smile, the first thing he did was to look towards the south, but the result was still disappointing, as the leader and his men still hadn't returned.
After sitting up and looking for a while, the pine needle lay down again, resting his head on the tree roots and continuing to sleep.
It is better to sleep. After falling asleep, you can get many wonderful things. Not to mention anything else, just the endless delicious food is enough to make people excited.
However, Song Zhen did not dream this time. It was not because his sleep quality was so good that he could sleep all night without dreams, but because he was startled by the noise made by the people around him and opened his eyes before he fell asleep!
"#￥WY!"
Song Needle quickly sat up, and amidst the shouts of his companions, he saw the scene he had always dreamed of - a large number of people appeared in the south of the tribal cave!
The leader and his men are back! The leader and his men are back with plenty of food!
When the pine needles saw the crowds of people, they suddenly became excited.
He, who had been lazy before, jumped up from the ground and ran over there, ready to meet the leader and his friends who were returning with a lot of food.
After running forward four or five steps, Songzhen stopped and looked at the people coming towards his tribe with doubt.
It was not until this time that he realized that these people looked so strange and were not from his tribe at all.
After being stunned for a moment, he hurried back to where he had just slept, picked up the Black Stone Weapon, and shouted to the others to pick up their Black Stone Weapons as well.
With the Black Stone weapon in hand, Pine Needle suddenly became bolder.
Even though there were a lot of these strange-looking people, he didn't feel that scared, and he didn't even think about leading the people around him to run into the cave.
No one, no tribe, can be a match for them wielding Blackstone weapons!
This is not arrogance, but what the previous battles have taught them.
No one from any tribe dared to attack them near the Black Rock Tribe's cave.
Even if the leaders were not in the tribe, Song Zhen felt that he and his men could still defeat these people.
Thinking this in his mind, after seeing clearly what these strange-looking people were carrying, Pine Needle and the other people from the Black Stone Tribe suddenly became happy.
Because they saw the deer following these people, as well as some animals larger than deer, and some wolves.
It turned out that these people came to bring food to themselves and others!
Although Songzhen didn't remember when his tribe had conquered such a tribe, the experience of the past few years told him and the rest of the people in the tribe that these people were just coming to bring them food, just like the previous tribes they had conquered.
"#￥%5E!"
Pine Needle shouted loudly and led the rest of the excited people in the tribe to meet the group of people carrying a lot of food.
Many people couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
They haven't had a full meal for a long time, so they must eat a full meal this time.
"@￥%…@3!"
He walked forward to meet the pine needles for a while, then stopped again, scratching his head with his hand in confusion.
Because he found that he actually understood what the strange-looking man said, and that man even called out his name.
Such a strange thing made him feel extremely incomprehensible.
"#￥5WE@3!"
While he was wondering, a man ran out from the group of confused people, running towards them quickly while shouting loudly.
After understanding what the man was shouting, Song Zhen became even more confused.
This weird guy actually said his name was Pine Cone.
He looks so weird, how could he be a pine cone?
And didn't Songguo go with the leader to attack the wealthy Qingque tribe? Why did he come back alone?
However, after this person walked in, Pine Needles completely confirmed that this person was Pine Cone.
Although his hair had become shorter and his face looked paler, he was still recognizable.
Songguo went with the leader and the others to attack the wealthy Qingque tribe. Now Songguo is back, which means they have conquered the wealthy Qingque tribe!
"#￥5@3!"
The pine needles looked at the pine cones and asked excitedly.
The meaning is whether they have found the wealthy Qingque tribe.
The rest of the Blackrock Tribe members also gathered around, eager to know the news regarding this matter.
The pine cone, which had been transformed, said to them excitedly: "#4%@#..."
What it means is that they found the wealthy Qingque tribe, and the Qingque tribe is even richer and better than what Shupi had said before, with more good things, making people not want to leave.
After hearing this from Pine Cone, Pine Needle and other people from the Black Stone Tribe who remained in the tribe were all overjoyed.
This was really good news and extremely exciting for them who were starving and anxiously waiting for their leader to return victoriously and bring good news so that they could live a wonderful life.
(For the convenience of expression, the following dialogue has been translated and processed by the author.)
After jumping for joy for a long time, Pine Needle finally remembered that he had only seen Pine Cone and not the leader of his tribe.
He looked towards the group of people standing not too far away and walking towards him. Their clothes were as strange as the pine cones in front of them. He thought that the leader should be there.
"Where's the leader?"
The pine needle looked over there and asked the pine cone excitedly.
"The leader is dead."
The excitement on Songguo's face did not diminish in the slightest as he gave a very clear and concise answer.
It seemed as if what was being said was just like the various beautiful things about the Qingque tribe that had just been mentioned, things that could make people extremely excited and happy.
"Oh, the leader is dead."
The pine needle repeated the same thing along with the pine cone, and the excitement and joy on his face did not diminish at all.
However, his excitement and joy did not last long. As he gradually realized what Songguo meant, his expression slowly froze.
"What did you say?"
He stretched out his dark, greasy hand, grabbed the pine cone and asked again.
"The leader is dead."
Songguo's answer was still clear and concise.
The pine needles looked even more dull as they looked at the pine cones in front of them, whose excitement remained undiminished.
The leader is dead, the leader is dead...
This piece of news kept circling back and forth in his mind, like rolling thunder, constantly surging.
But, shouldn’t the death of the leader be a very sad thing?
What are you jumping for with such excitement?
Are you still a member of the Blackrock Tribe?
"How did the leader die?"
Someone from the Blackrock Tribe who was equally dazed asked.
"Those who were stabbed to death by Treebark with a Black Stone weapon had their heads chopped off."
Songguo still spoke with excitement and joy.
"Hiss~"
The remaining people of the Black Rock Tribe, including Song Zhen, couldn't help but gasp and were even more shocked.
For them, this news was more shocking than the death of their leader.
In the past, the tree bark that was often bullied by me and others actually killed the leader? And even chopped off his head?
But what surprised them even more was yet to come.
"So, what about the bark?"
"Shuba was killed by the people of the Greenbird tribe."
"Where are the people from the Green Bird Tribe?"
"This is the person from the Green Bird Tribe!"
Pine Cone became even more excited and pointed at the people of the Green Bird Tribe who had surrounded him and Pine Needle and others while he was talking, and spoke loudly.
The Blackrock tribe members, who had been immersed in shock and, because of the transformed appearance of Pine Cone, subconsciously regarded these approaching, strangely dressed people as their own people, and turned their heads mechanically.
Looking at these people holding strange weapons and surrounding them, they all fell into a strange state. They felt as if they were being galloped past by ten thousand mythical beasts called alpacas.
"Are you still a member of the Blackrock Tribe?!"
The pine needles finally couldn't help it and roared loudly at the pine cones in front of them.
However, facing the roaring questioning of the pine needles, the pine cone remained unmoved. On the contrary, an expression of incomparable pride and pride rose on his face.
"No! I'm from the Green Bird Tribe!"
He loudly and proudly declared to the people who used to be in the same tribe as him, as if this was an extremely glorious thing.
"The leaders are evil! They deserve to die! The Green Bird Tribe is kind, wealthy and powerful. If you join the Green Bird Tribe, you can eat delicious food every day and fill yourself up!..."
Here, Songguo loudly declared the goodness of the Qingque tribe to the people who used to be in the same tribe, and invited them to join the Qingque tribe...
Join the Green Bird Tribe?
How is this possible!
The people of their Blackrock Tribe actually need to join other tribes?
Pine Needle looked at Pine Cone, who was once a member of a tribe, and was excitedly praising the good things about the Green Bird Tribe to him and others, and he wanted so much that he wanted to stab him with the Black Stone weapon in his hand!
How could people like me join the Qingque tribe!
This traitor!
…
"Look, there's another black stone here!"
The Blackrock Tribe, which had seemed deserted due to the departure of its leader and others, became lively and popular again with the arrival of the eldest brother and others.
Not too far from the Blackrock Tribe's cave, a man holding a stick, dug in the ground for a long time, and was covered in muddy pine needles. He was holding a small piece of meteorite stained with some mud, and shouting loudly in the language of his tribe.
There was excitement in his voice, and he was very excited, looking expectantly at the senior brother who was standing not far away.
After hearing his call, the eldest brother came over.
Song Zhen respectfully handed the black stone in his hand to the eldest brother.
Under Pine Needle's expectant gaze, the eldest brother took the black stone and looked at it carefully for a while. After confirming that it was meteorite, he took out a lollipop from his backpack and gave it to Pine Needle.
When Songzhen saw the lollipop, he looked extremely happy. He took it from the eldest brother and put it into his mouth impatiently.
The sweet taste instantly filled his mouth, making him squint his eyes in happiness.
After standing here quietly enjoying the sweetness of the lollipop for a while, the pine needles hurried back to dig the soil there, hoping to find another black stone...
