Chapter 298 297. Tribal Customs
It's called moving, but in fact it's just transferring assets like the Sunstone and the small treasury in advance. This place in the far north still needs to be inhabited for the time being.
One fat otaku after another moved things back and forth, successfully attracting Xiao Hei's attention.
She held her latest ruby in her claws and watched the crack for a long moment.
After confirming that it was Puji who moved, Xiao Hei acted decisively, hugged the empty fat Puji, dragged her back to her "treasure house" (Norris's mushroom house), and stuffed all the glitters inside.
One was not enough, so he brought a second one to finish the job.
The Pujis are the best at hiding things. Xiao Hei's intuition tells her that when the Pujis move, it's a good idea to follow them!
Of course Lin Jun noticed Xiao Hei's actions. It was just a small matter of helping her move some things.
However, after crossing the rift, Lin Jun deliberately let the four fat guys mix together and then separated them into twos!
"Left!" Lin Jun reminded, "Your glittering star is on the left team!"
Xiao Hei was stunned on the spot, looking back and forth rapidly between the two groups of fat guys, at a loss as to what to do.
Fortunately, she was quick and rushed over to check, and finally found her "treasure transport team".
They walked all the way to a nearby warehouse cave that Lin Jun used to store ordinary items.
Seeing that all his glittering treasures were stuffed into a large mushroom warehouse, Xiao Hei finally felt relieved.
This place is not far from the rift, and it is within the range that Xiao Hei can remember the road.
In this cave, in addition to the special warehouse allocated by Lin Jun to Xiao Hei, there are many other mushroom warehouses.
Xiao Hei was not polite either. He stuck his head in one by one to take a look!
Most of them are gray garbage, which can't compare with my shiny ones!
But occasionally, you can still see some shiny good things, which make Xiao Hei stamp his feet in envy.
Unfortunately, these things are still chewy, so Xiao Hei resisted the urge to take them.
Xiao Hei has a dream, that is to collect all the sparkles from Puji and bring them to his own nest in the future!
Just help Puji beat one more, four more, two more...
…
While Puji was busy moving his belongings, the Far North was also busy as the "re-education" of the captives officially began.
Lesson 1: Queue up for food!
There were four long lines, each with nearly four hundred people, and each person received a bowl of mushroom soup distributed by the demons.
Not full? Then queue up again and get more.
It’s not that Lin Jun couldn’t set up more distribution points to speed up efficiency, but that he deliberately let them do so.
These four hundred half-demons and twelve hundred lizardmen are all stragglers from the tribe.
Discipline for them? What is that?
Although the fear of the recent defeat made them dare not act rashly against the guards Puji and the demon clan, the team was already in chaos.
There were many people who relied on their strength to force their way into the queue, and there were also many half-demons and lizardmen who disliked each other and pushed and shoved each other.
Marshal Puji, wearing a scarlet cloak and a wide hat, stood firmly on the mushroom hat of the heavy armor Puji, examining the messy scene.
In one row, the demon was busy scooping another bowl of mushroom soup from the body of the burrowing puff and handing it to the next prisoner.
The khaki lizardman opposite just stretched out his hand when he was pushed aside by another taller and stronger lizardman.
The khaki-colored lizardman immediately recognized that the other party was a senior warrior of his own tribe. Without saying anything, he walked back a few steps and returned to the team.
It would be fine if he just cut in line, but he actually cut in line first!
The demon who was in charge of distributing the mushroom soup did not rush to hand over the bowl, but turned around to look at Shou who was standing next to Marshal Puji.
However, the senior lizardman warrior, relying on his strength, snatched the bowl away and gulped down a large mouthful. He then shouted in dissatisfaction, "It's fine that these losers are given soup! But senior warriors like us don't even get a speck of meat or oil?"
The voice was loud and clear, attracting everyone's attention.
The hunter turned the handle of the spear in his hand and stepped forward to teach this troublemaker a lesson.
Faced with the attacking spears, the lizardmen showed no weakness, dodging or blocking with their claws. As superior warriors, they would not be defeated in a few rounds even without weapons.
This was also thanks to Lin Jun who did not starve these captives or put them in shackles. He just planted some mycelium and did not impose any further restrictions on them.
After a few quick exchanges, Slick suddenly took a big step back, creating some distance between them. He growled at Shou without showing any weakness, "Why are you showing off? I, Slick, am also a high-ranking warrior. If I had a powerful opponent, would I be afraid of you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his aura suddenly changed, and he suddenly turned to the real master here, the marshal on the high ground, and knelt heavily on one knee with a "dong" sound!
His posture was respectful, but his head was held high. "Sir! I am Slick! My claws are sharp, my bones are strong! I will tear your enemies apart for you, and I will be no worse than these demonic creatures under your command! Please accept my loyalty and let me fight for you! I will prove my worth!"
Cutting in line, provoking, fighting with Shou in public... all of this is a prelude, a promotion of oneself.
Slick is well aware of the survival rules of the tribe. Strength is the pass. By showing strength to the stronger and swearing allegiance, one can win a place of survival and even respect.
In fact, the more aggressive and aggressive you are, the more respect you will get!
His burning gaze was fixed on Marshal Puji, waiting for the ruler's response.
And Lin Jun did respond to him.
"It's quite interesting."
That familiar, bone-chilling voice suddenly rang out, and in an instant, the entire camp seemed to be frozen by invisible frost.
The demons were fine, they just shrank their necks subconsciously. After all, he was their boss, and they were somewhat used to hearing it so often.
But the prisoners' reaction was horrific!
This sound was like opening the floodgates of fear, instantly pulling them back to the nightmare of blood and flesh flying everywhere. Many people couldn't control themselves and trembled like sieves, their teeth chattering.
Even Slick, who was kneeling, stiffened suddenly, but he suppressed his instinct and managed to keep his body steady.
A voice-like creature quietly poked its head out from the edge of Marshal Puji's wide hat, bounced lightly and landed right at Slick's feet.
She slowly climbed up along Slick's body, which instantly tensed like a rock again, and finally, with a steady and slightly cool and slippery touch, she wrapped it around his thick neck.
"The strong deserve respect." The voice vibrated against Slick's scales, carrying an inhuman quality. "Hunter! Bring me some meat!"
The hunters, who had just pointed their spears at each other, immediately stopped their attacks upon hearing the order and responded crisply, "Yes!"
He turned around and strode away, following Lin Jun's orders without hesitation.
Receiving this almost affirmative response, Slick finally forced a smug smile onto his stiff face.
When Shou brought him a bowl of thick soup with oil and meat chunks floating in it, he took the bowl and even looked at Shou provocatively.
In the team, the captives reacted calmly to this. According to the tribal rules of the North, this scene was normal.
Even a few of the captives who also possessed the strength of superior warriors became more active and secretly wondered when they would find an opportunity to "sell" themselves in this way.
Not far away, Louisa was leaning lazily against the cold stone wall, with her arms folded and an undisguised, sarcastic sneer on her lips. She looked at Slick with interest as he held the broth with pride, his eyes flashing with anticipation.
