Chapter 138 Distress
Sailing against the current on a completely unfamiliar river is definitely a very difficult thing. What is even more difficult is that in the primitive world, seemingly calm rivers often contain unimaginable crises.
The slaves set out from the Great Lakes tribe all the way to the present. In the past month or so, they have encountered countless dangers. With the things Wu Nuo left them and their wisdom, they were lucky to resolve them one by one. Or escaped, although many people were injured, so far the sixty of them are still the sixty at the time of departure. Of course, the slaves think that the decisive factor is the blessing that Lord Wu Nuo held for them. ceremony.
Everything is because of the blessing of the gods in the dark!
Therefore, when the crisis came again, instead of being afraid, the slaves were eager to try.
The brave are fearless!
When the cannibals who chased them for two or three days finally ran out of patience and jumped into the water one after another, four war slaves were born, and the captain who honed some water combat skills curled up his fingers and blew a whistle that they only knew Sound, for a moment, the four behemoth-like canoes moved faster.
The brutal cannibals in the water are completely excited. Apart from the satiety brought by the food itself, what they enjoy most is the panic and panic when the food is fleeing. What they like most is that when the food is most desperate At that moment, they bit off their necks fiercely without leaving any room, and the slightly scalded blood they gushed out was like the sweetest juice, which could give them endless happiness and strength!
After more than two days of chasing, this group of ogre-orcs has figured out that the giants (canoes) are filled with ordinary people, and the giants are not the water monsters they thought at first, but just wood. They have seen logs that float on water, but they have never seen such a large log that can still float on water.
Moreover, there were not only fat and pure people on the wood, but it seemed that there was also a lot of goods, including a lot of cloth that talents from large tribes could afford.
Those cloth should be able to exchange for a lot of slaves, plus wearing those pure people, enough for them to eat for a long time!
In the future, they can also sit on the giant monsters and come and go freely on the water.
Their tribe has always lived by the river, and almost all of them can swim. The reason why it took so long to catch up——
"...Captain, there is something under the water!" Ah Man swayed according to inertia, but it was obviously not the first time he had encountered this situation, so he quickly stabilized his figure and blew his whistle again.
After the captains of the three ships behind heard his short and rapid whistle, they quickly gave orders, and soon, the four behemoths finally stopped slowly.
Cruel and determined smiles appeared on the faces of the man-eating orcs who were chasing after them.
Where they didn't see it, the captain of the last ship took out a palm-sized wrapped leaf from the cowhide bag tied around his waist, and carefully opened the withered, yellow and brittle leaf. Leaves, poured the blue powder inside into the river water, murmured words, and after a while, the slightly yellowed river water gradually became a little mysterious blue.
The orc swimming in the front was about to touch the side of the boat. He suddenly felt that the strength in his body was taken away in an instant. When a wave hit him, he didn't even have the strength to struggle and row his hands. It sank to the bottom of the water, and after strings of bubbles emerged from the bottom, there was no sound.
After one after another there were abnormalities, someone finally found out that something was wrong.
They plunged into the bottom of the water, and the scene at the bottom of the water made their eyes tear open—
there were three people at the bottom of the water who had turned into animal shapes, quietly floating on the bottom of the water, and there were four other orcs approaching the canoe, all silently calling for help. A large amount was poured into their mouths and noses, their faces were extremely painful and distorted, but they sank straight to the bottom of the water, and some people's bodies began to shine, and they seemed to be unable to maintain their human shapes.
The other orcs rushed forward to rescue them, but no one noticed that the river was once again stained with a mysterious blue. After a while, the orcs who went to rescue finally found that something was wrong with their bodies. It was too late to escape.
There was a thumping sound above their heads, and they struggled helplessly. They saw a few strong and pure people swimming towards them. They held strange weapons in their hands. They didn't look like stones. Almost at the same time, the orcs at the bottom of the water There was an unknown panic in my heart.
In the next second, the strange weapon easily pierced through the body of the first orc.
It's so sharp...
This is the only thought in the mind of the ogre orc who never thought that he would die at the hands of pure people one day, before the darkness fell.
Obviously, these slaves were not fighting underwater for the first time. They used the voodoo and iron tools given by Wu Nuo to kill huge water beasts that were several times stronger than these man-eating orcs. In that fight, they Most of the people were seriously injured. Although the witch medicine given by Master Wu Nuo has a very good effect, there are still many people who have not recovered yet.
Therefore, when these orcs stared at them and caught up, they were eager to try but did not dare to act rashly.
Just as the orcs were waiting for the right moment, they were waiting too.
Wait for these orcs to go into the water, and give them a coup de grace with what little voodoo you have left!
The river water was soon stained red.
The cannibal tribe who had been entrenched by the river for decades never imagined that they would die tragically at the hands of a group of pure human slaves.
The only two orcs who didn't go into the water due to poor water quality were completely frightened. When they saw a pure man holding the head of their leader, climbing into the canoe and grinning at them, they turned into beasts without hesitation. , screaming and running away with his tail between his legs.
The screams of the hyena orcs echoed on the river bank for a long time... The
voodoo not only poisoned the hyena orcs, but also poisoned many fish. Stomach, set up a bonfire, and ate not too delicious grilled fish.
These voodoo were originally used by the Changhe Tribe to smear the arrows on the arrows for hunting. It can stun animals in a very short period of time. During his travels, Wu Nuo picked some voodoo medicines that were not available in the Changhe tribe. Using the medicinal properties of these herbs, he improved this voodoo drug so that this voodoo drug can also work in water, and can stun the water in a very short time. biology.
For terrestrial creatures, even if they can swim again, paralysis and coma in water are fatal.
What's even better is that the creatures transformed by Wu Nuo's improved voodoo are not poisonous themselves.
Therefore, the unlucky giant water monster was eaten by the hungry slaves at the beginning.
This voodoo is very powerful, but the voodoo called 'Starlight Grass' involved in the formula is very rare, and what Wu Nuo had in stock was made into voodoo and given to the slaves. At the same time, the corresponding antidote was prepared for them, so that they could move freely in the water when other creatures were dazed.
The slaves have been sailing until now, and this is the second time they have used voodoo except the last time they encountered a water monster.
Helplessly, the water monster I met last time was too ferocious, and I spent a lot of voodoo before grinding it to death. This time I spent another three packs to deal with the hyena orcs, and the voodoo Wu Nuo gave them was running out. They didn't even see the shadow of the Changhe Tribe.
Inquired along the way, but did not hear any news about the Changhe tribe.
The weather was getting colder day by day, and they had just killed more than 30 slaves of vicious man-eating orcs. They were eating not-so-delicious grilled fish, and their mood was more depressed than the gray sky.
After eating the grilled fish, the slaves racked their brains and thought of many ways, and spent nearly two days, finally allowing several canoes to cross the rocky shallow water area.
Next, the slaves drove peacefully on the river for more than ten days. During these ten days, they gradually felt that the speed of the water flow became slower and slower, the river channel gradually narrowed, and even the tributaries became less. Of course, all of this is completely in line with the description given to them by Bai and Wu Nuo at the beginning. The only thing the slaves can be sure of is that they have not gone wrong, but they cannot be sure how far the Changhe Tribe is.
Along the way, they met some people one after another. Due to the language barrier, they never found out how far the Changhe Tribe was. However, some smart slaves have already realized that something is wrong—as a super tribe, people far away should know it, just like when they were in the Great Lakes tribe, they heard about Yancheng, which is very far away, Maverick Tribe.
They haven't found out about the Changhe Tribe yet, which can only explain one problem - they are still very, very far away from the Changhe Tribe.
These honest slaves have never doubted that the Changhe tribe is not a super tribe at all.
As an ordinary big tribe that has just risen for less than a year, how could the Changhe tribe be famous in this stone age where there were no roads? Even if the blood salt is dug out, it is absolutely impossible!
"... Snow... It's snowing..." Early in the morning, a slave woke up sleepily on the boat, only to see that the surrounding area as far as he could see was covered with a fine layer of white.
The four captains, including Ah Man and A Lei, woke up one after another as soon as the snow fell last night, and then they didn't sleep for almost the whole night.
Although they knew that it would be colder the further north they went, but what they didn't expect was that the cold winter in the north would be so much earlier than that of the Great Lakes Tribe.
They had to hurry up, because Wu Nuo said that during the coldest winter of the Changhe Tribe, the rivers flowing through the tribe would freeze. They must find the Changhe tribe before the river freezes, otherwise, they will be frozen to death outside.
This, I am afraid, is the biggest difficulty and test they will face.
Washing off their slave status and becoming a resident of a super tribe is the belief that has always supported their progress.
At this moment, they have no other way to go except to strengthen their belief and continue on.
The area where the slaves were located had just started snowing, and it had already been snowing for two or three days at the Changhe Tribe.
Having filled all the cellars, the Changhe Tribe, who still have a large number of white sweet potatoes with no land to put, is not at all worried about the early winter again. However, because the cold winter came too early, the remaining white sweet potatoes could no longer be dried, so everyone could only follow the method taught by Wu Nuo as much as possible to make these white sweet potatoes into vermicelli.
The dwarves who are good at making tools made some tools for everyone in a timely manner, improved some procedures, and greatly improved the efficiency of making vermicelli.
With the end of the harvest and the coming of winter, the big witch ordered all the residents without houses to withdraw to the tribe. The dwarves who took over the task of building houses built dozens of such collective dormitories in the tribe, imitating the slave dormitories. In order to catch up with work and save materials, these dormitories only built three walls and a roof. The walls are supported by wood, and the interior of the house is also supported by wood, which ensures that the house will not be crushed by snow to the greatest extent.
On the side where there is no wall, the residents of the piled dormitory tied their old animal skins to the pillars with hemp ropes. They pulled the animal skins away during the day, so that the light in the dormitory was sufficient, and they put down the animal skins at night to shade blizzard.
For the residents of Changhe who live in the north all year round, the weather is not too cold now. Dozens or hundreds of people live in a dormitory, and they don't need to burn coal and they don't feel cold.
Due to the limited dormitories, and some people are willing to live in collective dormitories, some are not, and those who have no house and are unwilling to live in dormitories, a space is drawn on the open space next to the Dawu dormitory for them to set up tents by themselves.
These people who don't have their own houses for the time being, naturally don't have their own cellars, and the daily food is provided by the tribe in a unified way-white sweet potatoes are enough, and they eat meat every now and then, so they don't live too comfortably.
However, there are also people who have a very uncomfortable life.
