"Let's go!" After arranging the internal affairs of the tribe, Ma Yue set off with a caravan of fifty people.
A caravan of fifty people, a hundred wildebeests. Walking? How long will it take to get there? One man and two horses, impressive, right? Only the horses leaping out, such grandeur.
The summer radish plowing and planting season was over, and the wildebeests, no longer burdened with the most important task of farming, could indulge in some extravagant displays. Stone City still had over a hundred wildebeest in reserve (the sixty wildebeest from the Cowhide Tribe were already the Sea Tribe's), so what was there to be afraid of?
In order to go to Sun City to look for copper, Ma Yue didn't care about the first phase of Stone City's expansion since the high priest was there anyway.
That’s right, this time we are going to Sun City, we will not go to the sea, the second priest will accompany Ma Yue.
The Hai tribe's production of radishes and salt is not small. This time, they are mainly going to Sun City to trade a large amount of pickled salted radishes. Fifty people are riding on wildebeests, and another forty-eight wildebeests are carrying the salted radishes. This is the speed of cavalry. Why does it take Ji Mao half a month to travel?
As long as there are fifty strong men, why worry about not having food on the road? If we hunt along the way, won’t we have food along the way?
Ma Yue's other wildebeest was carrying green onions, vegetables, and some salt for consumption on the road, not for trade. The second priest's other wildebeest was carrying corn, also for consumption on the road.
Even when going out, Ma Yue needs to ensure that his food is as rich as possible.
Ma Yue had high hopes for copper on this trip, but he didn't necessarily think he'd find it. He'd never been to Sun City, so he decided to consider it a glimpse into the world's first great city.
Even if a wildebeest runs slowly, it's still seven or eight times faster than a human, right? Someone in the past calculated that a normal human walking speed is around three or four kilometers per hour, while a wildebeest can run at least thirty kilometers per hour.
Of course, you need to rest, hunt and get food along the way, which will take at least five or six days, if not half a month.
In the era before cars, riding a horse was already a great means of transportation.
During this trip, Ma Yue became unusually active, at least actively participating in the hunt. Getting food was one reason, but also to improve his fighting ability.
Since arriving in this world, Ma Yue has rarely fought humans. However, at certain times of the year, he joins a hunting party and has many opportunities to fight wild beasts. Although Ma Yue is lazy, he still participates in necessary battles.
Halfway through the journey, a fierce battle between humans and wolves began under the command of Ma Yue.
Are wolves really that powerful? Ma Yue has forty-eight warriors around him, each of whom can throw a spear. Whether they are accurate or not is not a question, but facing a pack of wolves, it is almost enough. Indiscriminate attacks, the wolves have many targets...
Long-range strikes are only the first step; brutal close combat is ultimately inevitable.
After all, wolves are outnumbered. The warriors that Ma Yue brought with him were strong and powerful. The powerful Ma Yue rushed left and right, with great speed and quick movements.
Damn it! I regret it a little bit.
The battle was over, the dozen or so remaining wolves fled, and the trade caravan suffered heavy casualties. It seemed they couldn't avoid a fight; the wolves were targeting them. Perhaps it was because the trade caravan had too many wildebeest, and with so much food, the wolves wouldn't give up. If it came down to patience, the wildebeest couldn't match the wolves.
Instead of running away, it is better to fight hard.
Seven wildebeest were killed by wolves, and almost everyone else was injured... Oh! It's not easy to go out, especially in the wilderness. The wilderness is ultimately the world of wild beasts.
In the large caravan of fifty people, there were less than twenty people who were able to stand up temporarily and whose injuries were not serious. They were still busy helping the wounded to treat their wounds. The cattail sticks and Panax notoginseng juice were proven to have a good anti-inflammatory effect.
The team can't move forward, so they need to rest for a few days.
There were more than a dozen wildebeests that were knocked down by wolves and were completely beyond saving. They were basically killed.
"Chun Wu, Xia Wu, take people to make a bonfire first!" This time, some people from Chun Wu and Xia Wu's squadron came with them, and the leaders were naturally Chun Wu and Xia Wu.
"I'll do it!"
It is impossible not to light a fire. The strong smell of blood means that the wolves have escaped. There are so many wild beasts in this jungle, and new threats may come at any time.
Wild beasts are really afraid of fire, regardless of day or night.
"Second Priest, I didn't expect that you have some skills, haha!" The atmosphere in the team cannot be too depressing. Besides, even though the battle was so tragic, the Sea Tribe won in the end.
Primitive people were very thick-skinned. Besides, casualties during hunting were perfectly normal for them. As long as their leader, Ma Yue, was healthy, the rest of the primitive people, even if injured, would eventually return to normal.
What is normal? Harvesting prey.
In this great battle, they killed more than forty wolves, which was a great harvest. No matter how painful it was, the primitive people were finally happy again after seeing so many preys.
Gather firewood, light many bonfires, and eat! As long as you eat, the injured primitive people will feel better.
The seriously injured were still dying one by one. By nightfall, a total of eleven people had died. The remaining injuries were basically stable.
Several waves of wild beasts were blocked by the relatively dense campfires on the periphery, whether they were companions of cave hyenas, or saw-toothed tigers, cave lions, and cave bears. Firstly, there were many people in the Hai tribe; secondly, they were afraid of fire.
As night falls, there seems to be the howling of wild beasts in the distance. Damn it! If you have the guts, come in!
Ma Yue was in a terrible mood. This was the biggest loss he had ever suffered since he led the team. Ma Yue always emphasized putting people first, but in the vast jungle, you have no say.
In primitive society, the living environment was extremely harsh, which is hard for modern people to imagine.
