During the recovery season, everyone was probably busy hunting to satisfy their hunger after a cold season, so no war broke out.
Even the Rui tribe, which had lost an elite team, did not take any major action, but instead sent a reconnaissance team.
The Hu tribe has captured several suspicious people within the tribe's hunting territory, but those people all insisted that they were wanderers. Chief Jie said in earnest that there must be spies from the Rui tribe among them, but unfortunately he had no evidence.
They also sent scouts, taking slaves who originally belonged to the Rui tribe, to the Rui tribe base camp to investigate the situation.
The situation brought back by the reconnaissance was similar to what the slaves said. The Rui tribe was very far away from their Hu tribe. The Rui tribe's base camp was at the edge of the forest, which was a relatively flat area.
The Rui tribe’s base camp is very large, and they live in stone houses. The total number of people should be more than 1,000.
Combined with Afeng's statement that "the Rui tribe was about the same size as the Ya tribe a few years ago", Lin Xiaoman guessed that the Rui tribe became powerful because of the witch, and then continued to annex the surrounding small tribes, and then developed to its current size.
After understanding the enemy's situation, Lin Xiaoman felt that the Rui Tribe was similar to them, perhaps even stronger, and posed no threat. Despite this, they still had to seize the time and work hard to strengthen themselves.
In order to achieve both strength and production, everyone in the tribe is busy working.
As the weather got warmer, after the first muffled thunder, Grandma Yang announced that the hot season had arrived.
Lin Xiaoman confirmed that the recovery season will last for two months.
Entering the hot season, the first thing that happens is that combat power is improved.
This time, five more people successfully awakened as warriors.
However, the difficulty of going from a warrior to a first-level warrior is obviously greater. Out of ten people, only two succeed.
Although it is a little less, the tribe now has sufficient weapons. If there are enemies, they will first use a wave of long-range bows and arrows. In this era without shields, a wave of arrows can take away at least fifty people.
A battle between tribes involving 200 troops is already a large-scale war.
With the first thunder, the hot season began. Lin Xiaoman practiced day after day, and in the blink of an eye, nearly four months passed.
Well, the hot season lasts for 4 months.
So the year here has 14 months, the recovery season is February, the hot season is April, the fruit season is February, and the cold season is a full June.
The fruit season is here again.
In the blink of an eye, the cold season is here again.
This time, because of the salt, more food was preserved, and the totem stone and Lin Xiaoman's system backpack were also stuffed full. Whether it was the tribesmen or the slaves, they all spent the cold season warm and well-fed.
The powerful Hu tribe had enough food and clothing during the cold season, but the other tribes around them were not so well off.
Because of food, the Cold Season War broke out again. Several small wandering tribes living in the cracks came to seek refuge one after another, and the tribal population increased by dozens to nearly 200.
In the third month of the cold season, a great war broke out among the three tribes near the Hu tribe. The Qian tribe and the Yang tribe joined forces to rob the Hao tribe. In a two-on-one situation, the Hao tribe was defeated and a lot of its food reserves were robbed.
Without food to last through the cold season, and facing the choice between surrendering to others and starving to death, the chief of the Hao tribe chose to surrender without hesitation.
If you want to surrender, you must choose someone with strong strength.
The chief of the Hao tribe led his people to surrender directly to the Hu tribe.
After a loyalty assessment, the tribal population increased by more than 300 people again.
With the tribe growing stronger again, Chief Jie ambitiously sought out Lin Xiaoman to discuss the feasibility of attacking and retaking the Qian and Yang tribes.
After thinking about it, Lin Xiaoman finally stopped it and said, "The time is not yet ripe."
Qian Tribe and Yang Tribe. It is said that the wife of the chief of Qian Tribe is the sister of the chief of Yang Tribe. The two tribes have a marriage relationship, which is equivalent to a gang. The gang of the two tribes combined has more than 1,000 people.
Of course, with the current strength of their Hu tribe, they can definitely win the battle, but there will also be heavy casualties.
If the Qian tribe and the Yang tribe fight them to the death, then this war will be of no benefit.
Their Hu tribe is getting stronger and stronger, while the Yang tribe and the Qian tribe have been standing still because they have no witch. So, there is no need to rush. In two or three years, it will be effortless to defeat them.
When it comes to eloquence, Lin Xiaoman is a professional, and he is also a die-hard fan, so Chief Jie was immediately convinced, and the ambition for unification that had just risen in his mind was immediately suppressed.
However, if the Qian Tribe and the Yang Tribe take the initiative to cause trouble, we will certainly not tolerate them.
Perhaps because they knew that the Hu tribe was powerful, or perhaps they robbed the Hao tribe's grain stores and had an abundance of food, the days that followed were very peaceful.
The cold season passed and the recovery season arrived. The tribe became busy again. The sun set and the moon rose, and the seasons changed. Two years passed like this, and the annual cold season came again.
Because there are so few resources for survival, there is war wherever there are people. As the Hu tribe grows stronger, the tribe's hunting territory also continues to expand. In contrast, the hunting territories of the nearby Qian tribe and Yang tribe are forced to shrink.
With a small hunting territory, limited food sources, and low food reserves, they couldn't survive the cold season. The Qian and Yang tribes, desperately trying to gather all their strength, formed a team of nearly 400 people, intending to launch a surprise attack on the Hu tribe.
The allied forces of the two tribes attacked fiercely, but outside the territory of the Hu tribe, they suffered heavy casualties due to pits and traps, with screams emanating from the crowds.
This is a war without a doubt.
With only dozens of casualties, the Hu tribe won the war, and the tribe then gained nearly 800 slaves.
The total population of the tribe reaches more than 2,000 people, which is definitely a large tribe.
Looking at the nearly 5 million magical powers she had saved, Lin Xiaoman decided to upgrade. It must be said that the higher you go, the more upgrade experience you get. From level 40 to level 50, she consumed 1.2 million magical powers. A level 5 skill costs 3,200 magical powers.
So expensive!
But there is no other way, I can only click!
After clicking, Lin Xiaoman went to learn more about the totem stone. The totem stone had a new function - inspiring fighting spirit.
This is a group skill. Once an enemy attacks, the witch will inspire the fighting spirit of the totem stone, and all the tribesmen within 500 meters of the totem stone will get a power increase. Of course, each person will only get a little bit of increase, which is not too outrageous.
But if each person contributes a little, it will add up to a lot for the entire tribe!!
Anyway, this skill is very practical when a war breaks out.
After successfully lighting up the level 50 skill, Lin Xiaoman made two surprising discoveries. First, she got an object strengthening spell from the gift pack.
Lin Xiaoman realized it after testing. A bone spear with dozens of strong joints put on it. Wow, the hardness is completely comparable to that of an iron spear!
However, a solidity bonus requires 10,000 wizard power, and there is a probability of failure.
