After the death of the first high priest, Jiang not only spread the words "God loves all living things, but loves wisdom even more" throughout the tribe, but also took many different actions.
First, the technology of planting rice will be promoted in mountainous areas.
The East Lake area is covered with tidal flats, which makes it easier for rice to survive. But on this side of the mountains, due to the expansion of the tribal population and logging and road construction, there are also many wastelands, so you can try to grow rice.
Originally there were 300 people engaged in farming, but now there are 700 more people engaged in farming in addition to hunting and gathering. Naturally, they have a lot more food, which can support the birth of more people.
In addition, there is another key point that limits their current population growth.
That's the weapon.
They lacked sufficient weapons to expand outward.
Because of their large population, they had the advantage of arriving first, and the lush forests made it difficult for large creatures to move around in the mountains, making this a paradise that belonged exclusively to them.
The tidal flats cannot support large creatures and are rich in resources, making them the most suitable home they have found so far.
But this is already the limit for carrying more than a thousand people.
After long-term observation, Cang put forward a point of view, that is, according to the current reproduction trend, more trees in the mountains will definitely be cut down. Then when the cover behind them is gradually removed by them, the natural enemies of the tribe, those large carnivorous creatures, will attack.
They are not afraid of normal-sized carnivorous creatures.
But once the creature is larger than ten meters, they will have trouble.
With their current bone and stone tools, they probably wouldn't be able to even break their skin.
"Moreover, according to the young men I sent to explore, some large creatures have mastered the ability to breathe fire and lightning."
In front of the temple, Cang solemnly told his brothers about his discovery.
Chai said, "Second brother, this ability to swallow and spit out flames, is it the kind of flame that can cause a forest fire?"
Cang said:
"That's not so bad. I named the creature that can swallow and spit out fire the Fire Swallowing Stork. It has a wingspan of 18 meters and stands 8 meters tall. Its wings are red and its feathers are long and hard. With just a flap of its wings, it can create a whirlwind that can knock down trees.
"It can eat the burning charcoal and accumulate it. When it encounters a strong enemy, it will spit out a powerful flame in one breath, which can singe the enemy's fur. Even smaller ones cannot withstand its flames and will be burned to death in an instant, just like our barbecue."
"It lives alone in Nanjuqiu, about ten miles south of our mountain. There are oranges growing all over the mountain. Besides eating meat, the fire stork mainly eats oranges."
They have a long history and experience of collecting, so they naturally know what kind of fruit oranges are.
This kind of fruit is very sweet, it is the sweetest food they have ever seen. Cang's eldest son, Ju, is the promoter of the cultivation technology of tangerine trees. It seems that because he often eats tangerines, Ju has an unusually strong body. He is 1.2 meters tall, half a head taller than other dog-men.
People in the tribe say that people who eat oranges regularly can become stronger and braver.
Not only the dog-men, but other large creatures also often eat it, love to eat it, and there are even many cases of robbery for it.
And a single swallow or stork can occupy such a big mountain, which shows how powerful it is.
Jiang and Chai's expressions became more serious.
"There is another kind, a mink-like creature, six or seven meters tall. It doesn't look very big, but its fur is like needles. I don't know how it is made, but once it finds a creature approaching it, it will make a terrifying crackling sound and flash electric light, which will stun the creature that is close to it."
"I named this creature the Electric Marten. It lives in the Moon-arc Hill in the north of the mountain. There are quite a few of them. They live in groups just like us."
"Their staple food is a kind of mushroom that is taller than a tree. There are a lot of them growing naturally in the Lunar Arc Hill."
Cang said:
"Given my son Tachibana's experience, I think we can try to eat more of the food that these large creatures with special abilities often eat. Perhaps over time, we will become stronger, or we can also master some special abilities."
"Father said that our supreme divine arts are the wisdom bestowed by Lord Nest God. Other creatures do not have these, so we can learn from other creatures. What do you think?"
This statement was recognized by Jiang and Chai.
Next, since they couldn't expand on weapons, they planned to continue focusing on food and make the next generation of the tribe stronger and smarter first.
The fact that they have mastered the written language that can pass on experience and technology means that time is on their side.
After some discussion, they decided to open up some more areas in East Lake to temporarily accommodate a new generation of dog-men in order to solve the problem of the weakening of the protective effect of the mountains due to the increase in population.
East Lake is vast. Although there are large creatures in the lake, it is difficult to go ashore because the water near the lake is shallow.
Therefore, further expansion around East Lake, although there are risks, is better than destroying the area where the company made its fortune.
As a result, under the joint efforts of this new generation of leaders, the entire tribe began to undergo new changes.
Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Of course, ten years for them may be a long time, but for Li Yi, it is just the time it takes to take a nap.
Li Yi was not observing the evolution of these intelligent creatures the whole time, he was also practicing his own cultivation.
For example, absorbing more memory fragments, studying the genetic data collected before, and creating a more complete body-building method.
With his strong soul, it was very easy for him to complete this multitasking operation.
During these twenty years, the Youchao tribe accumulated strength and promoted wisdom.
The second generation leaders repeatedly mentioned the word "wisdom" and during the annual Nest God Festival, they emphasized the wisdom summarized by the first generation high priests and encouraged everyone in the tribe to delve into their personal skills and think more after completing their daily production and human-making activities.
At the same time, although the expansion of the East Lake area encountered many problems and even suffered from floods during the past ten years, it continued to expand through various intelligent means, hunting down all large creatures near the lake area and completing the expansion of the racial field.
The population also grew to 1,400.
If it hadn't been for the great flood six years ago, their population would have doubled long ago.
Among them, the most core reason for the growth is the improvement of the cultivation technology of mushrooms and tangerines produced in Yuehu Hill and Nanju Hill.
By eating oranges and mushrooms, supplemented by rice, aquatic products, game and other foods, their new generation is generally over one meter tall.
The outstanding ones among them, such as Tachibana's son Fuji, are 1.4 meters tall and are known as the strongest man in the tribe.
There is also Dao's son Liang, who is the first person in the tribe who can eat charcoal alive and spit out violent flames. (End of this chapter)
