"Does such a world really exist?"

When the dagger pierced into Old Fishtail's chest, Old Fishtail suddenly raised his hands, looked at the gray sky with a sad face, looked at the thick rolling clouds, looked at the heavy rain falling from the sky, and shouted hoarsely: "Ancestor God!"

The young and strong men brought by Lao Yuweiba, including those who were injured and fell to the ground, struggled to kneel on the ground, raised their hands high, and prostrated themselves to worship the sky, the earth, the boundless lakes in all directions, and all the visible and invisible indescribable existences between heaven and earth.

The eyes of those older villagers were filled with the same sorrow as Old Fish Tail, but not as strong as Old Fish Tail's, so strong that it almost condensed into substance and flowed out of his eye sockets.

Old Fishtail spit out blood from his mouth and fell heavily to the ground with his face up.

Old Eagle muttered "May the ancestors bless you" in a low voice, and he strode up to several other village elders from the other village, holding up the dagger in his hand.

The village elders raised their hands high and worshiped the heaven and earth.

When they stood up, Old Eagle narrowed his eyes, his hands trembling slightly, but the dagger pierced their chests steadily and sharply.

"May our ancestors bless us!" The warriors brought by Old Jiu also knelt on the ground. They worshiped the heaven and earth and the four directions.

A soldier took out a huge pottery bowl, collected blood from the chests of several dead village elders such as Lao Yuweiba, and brought the pottery bowl to Jiu Lao and other village elders. Jiu Lao and his fellow villagers cut their wrists and dripped blood into the pottery bowl.

One after another, starting with the strongest warriors such as Xiong Zhang, the villagers from the two villages took the blood from the pottery bowls and drew a crude symbol shaped like a flame on their foreheads.

Chu Tian stared blankly at the silent movements of these soldiers.

This is a merger of two villages. Just as they agreed before the war, the loser loses everything and the winner takes everything!

Using the blood of Old Fish Tail and his men as sacrifices and their lives as glue, the two villages were united as one on this small mound through such a simple and crude ceremony.

The two groups of villagers who were at loggerheads just now no longer had any estrangement between them. They were like a whole, and they tacitly took out various herbs, mashed them, and used them to treat their injured companions. They carried the injured onto the raft and sent them back to Jiu Lao's village.

Old Jiu took most of the warriors and sailed on a raft to the village of Old Fishtail.

After a quarter of an hour of water travel, a stretch of flat land several miles long and wide appeared in front of us. There were earthen walls around it that were several feet above the water surface, with wooden fences on top.

Everything went smoothly. The warriors from Old Fishtail Village entered the village and announced the merger of the two villages. After the elderly, weak, women and children in the village were startled, they got busy.

Pull out all the vegetables from the fields, dig up all the tubers, and load all the stored food onto the raft.

The few private properties of each household, such as dried meat, animal skins, pottery jars, pottery bowls, etc. were also moved up. There were not many properties in the village, so when it just got dark, the large group returned to Jiu Lao's village.

The newly merged villagers were arranged to live in the thatched houses of the original villagers.

The night was unusually quiet, just like one drop of water merging with another drop of water. The villagers of the two villages merged together so naturally that even the children did not make any big noise.

At dawn the next day, all the young and strong men in the newly merged village gathered in the largest thatched cottage in the center of the village.

Chu Tian was shocked to find that in the small fight yesterday, all the injured soldiers were sitting by the fire and drinking water. Even several guys with comminuted fractures were walking without any problems.

Chu Tian finally understood why no one was surprised that all his injuries healed overnight!

It turns out that everyone in this swamp has this kind of monstrous physique. With such serious injuries, they all healed overnight and were able to move freely with the use of such low-quality herbs.

Chu Tian’s injury cost Master Shu a top-level elixir!

And these men just applied some low-quality herbal paste!

"Monster!" Lord Shu, standing on Chu Tian's shoulder, couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Evolved?" Chu Tian sat by the fire, shoulder to shoulder with Crab Claw and several other young men. The original thatched house was enough to accommodate all the young and strong people in the village, but the number of people increased more than doubled out of thin air, and the thatched house seemed much more crowded.

Old Jiu and several village elders came out. They sat on the thick animal skin mats, poured a few bowls of hot water from the pottery jar and drank a few sips. Then, Old Jiu took a fire stick and poked the charcoal in the fire pit twice.

"Is everyone here? Then, let's get down to business."

"There is no shortage of food. Before the rainy season came, the kids worked very hard and stored enough meat for us to eat."

"We can't keep fat like this during the four-month rainy season. In addition to making dolls, the village needs to build more houses. This task will be led by Old Snake. Before the end of the rainy season, the village needs to build enough houses."

An old man with a gaunt face took a sip of hot water and said, "Give me two hundred babies, plus some helpers, and it will be enough for more than two months."

Old Eagle nodded and said, "Then, Old Snake will take care of the house construction. This thatched cottage for meetings was passed down from my grandfather."

All the young and strong men raised their heads and looked at the roof.

Old Jiu sighed, "My grandfather never expected that the village would suddenly double in size. This thatched hut for meetings is not enough, so we have to build another one. This is what Old Mu is bringing people to do."

Another village elder next to Old Jiu nodded and silently accepted the task.

Old Eagle looked at the men huddled together, and a smile appeared on his old face: "Next, it's the most important thing. During the rainy season, you can take some time off from hunting and gathering, but there's no problem with mining."

The young and strong men in the room all perked up at the same time.

Mining, it was that fire copper vein that caused a dispute between the two villages, and the two villages merged together.

Fire copper ore is useless to the villagers, but it can be exchanged for many good things. The wine is certainly very good, but the metal-forged weapons make the villagers jealous.

Which warrior doesn't want to have a sharp metal weapon that can easily cut through wooden spears?

Old Jiu chuckled and said, "That place is not big and can't accommodate too many people. It's windy and rainy, so it's very tiring. So let's change a group of people every two days and take turns to go mining. We can store the ores we dig out and exchange them for good things after the rainy season is over!"
