Chapter 30: New Shock
"Are they the same guys who attacked our tribe before?"
This is the first thing Zhou Xu wants to confirm.
Faced with this question, the tribesman shook his head.
"I'm not sure. The situation was too chaotic and there were a lot of people on the other side. I'm not sure if it was the same tribe that attacked us before."
Zhou Xu nodded slightly after getting this answer.
"I understand. Go and call back the members of the gathering team. As for Fei Que's hunting team, go and inform Fei Que of the situation and ask him to continue hunting and be on standby at any time."
"yes!"
With a response, the tribesman hurried to pass on the message.
[Unless the primitive people on the opposite side have the same power of truth as me, it is unrealistic for them to discover the mountain and hide in time at such a long distance].
[It is likely that the other party discovered the black forest and did not dare to approach rashly, so he went back to report. ]
[From this point of view, the other party is acting very cautiously. ]
[Now it depends on what actions the other side will take next. ]
It was impossible for him to ask everyone in his tribe to go to the Black Forest and wait just because he discovered the existence of other primitive people.
What if the other party does not take follow-up action today, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow? Wasting time there will only waste their precious labor.
Of course, now that we have realized that people from other tribes have discovered this black forest, we have no choice but to remain vigilant.
So after a brief consideration in his mind, he chose to transfer the members of the collection team.
Unlike the current hunting team led by Fei Que, this hunting team is responsible for the most important task of food supply for their tribe.
Once they stop moving, food supply within the tribe will soon be a problem.
But the collection team is different. The collection team is currently mainly responsible for collecting coal, branches, stones and insects.
Of course, their tribe also needs these resources, but as they collect them every day, they actually have some stocks of these resources within their tribe.
Simply put, if you stop for two or three days, it won't be a big problem.
Not to mention, Zhou Xu has a way to remedy the situation...
"You guys, carry these polished stone bullets to the mine in the center of the Black Forest. On your way back, collect some supplies."
He called several members of the patrol team and quickly assigned the task.
He has already confirmed the direction where the two primitive men appeared.
Taking into account the direction from which the enemy is advancing, the battle zone can be roughly defined.
During this period, as the side with the home advantage, the first thought in Zhou Xu's mind was to use the natural cover of the black forest and then launch a long-range attack on the enemy with a slingshot!
In order to effectively implement this tactic, the supply of stone bullets must keep up.
If we store all of them in the tribal camp, it will definitely be too late to move them urgently.
In comparison, considering the location of the battlefield, if we stockpile them first at the mine, the distance will be much closer.
At this moment, using the edge of the Black Forest as a natural defense line, Dashan and his men took turns keeping watch in shifts of five, ensuring that they could spot the enemy as soon as they appeared.
At this moment, Zhou Xu's mood can be said to be very contradictory.
For rational reasons, he would prefer the other party to come in the afternoon, since he had nothing to prepare anyway.
Because of this matter, he had to send enough people to keep an eye on the Black Forest, so that when the enemy attacked, their front line would not collapse before their follow-up support arrived.
In this situation, even if he was given two or three more days, the limited manpower would not be enough for him to prepare anything new, but would only cause him more trouble.
But putting rationality aside, this is really the first time that I have faced people from other tribes since I traveled through time.
Unlike the giant spider, once the lives of his own kind were involved, Zhou Xu couldn't help but have some thoughts of avoiding it.
As for having a good talk with the other party after meeting...
This thought never occurred to him even for a moment.
He is not stupid. Even if he wants to have a good talk, how can he be sure that the other party wants to do the same?
They don't understand each other at all.
In this environment, the safest way is to defeat the opponent first and make him lose the threat!
While Zhou Xu was waiting anxiously, the other party did not disappoint him. Just after noon, the opposing large army appeared outside the black forest.
Under Dashan's order, a tribe member ran back as fast as possible to deliver the message...
"Here they come! There are about twenty of them!"
Hearing this, Zhou Xu took a deep breath, then suddenly stood up with the bone spear in his hand.
"Butterfly, hide yourselves well and don't come out until we come back."
After saying that, Zhou Xu's eyes quickly swept towards another tribe member who was on standby nearby.
"Go and call Fei Que and the others to gather. Go to the mine first and bring the polished stone bullets to the outer periphery to meet the attack!"
As the leader of the Salt Lake Tribe, facing the impending tribal conflict, no matter how uneasy Zhou Xu was before, at this moment, he forced all these emotions down.
What was in front of him at the moment was a difficult hurdle that he had to overcome! The opponent's advancement speed was not fast, and Zhou Xu had to be in position one step ahead of the opponent.
During this time, Feique and his men, who had received his order, were also rushing towards this side, carrying stone bullets.
"What's going on now?"
"have no idea."
Looking at the enemy appearing outside the black woods, Dashan frowned.
"They are moving very slowly. Although they are moving forward, they haven't come completely close yet."
Hearing this, Zhou Xu also frowned.
Then he used the power of the 'Eye of Insight' to observe the other party's situation.
With his extraordinary vision, Zhou Xu quickly discovered that the people opposite him were all carrying heavy loads, and each of them was carrying a large piece of wood on his back.
In an era when people basically only had one meal a day and were starving, it goes without saying how tiring it was to carry something like this over long distances.
And it was at this time that the opposing large force stopped.
The enemy walking in front stopped, quickly took off the large wooden board on his back, and placed it in front of him.
This one basically blocked all of them behind it, and it was like a typical door panel shield.
A row of large wooden shields combined together to form a shield wall.
This made Zhou Xu frown even more tightly.
[Have these guys discovered us? ]
Before he could think about it, he saw a gap between the door panels and shields, big enough for one person to pass through.
The next scene made their hearts stop for a moment.
"Is that a skeleton?!"
In the empty eye sockets, two green will-o'-the-wisp flames kept jumping. At this moment, what came out from behind the shield wall were actually strange and creepy skeletons! This directly brought a new shock to Zhou Xu's worldview that had just stabilized!
Update is here, thanks to book friend '微风徐徐' for the reward!
