The Qingyan Tribe's movements were much faster than Xia Qi imagined, and on the third day, they appeared in the Xia Tribe again.

The leader was still Qing Niu, but this time there were many more people than last time.

Perhaps, this Qingyan tribe really suffered from a food crisis, but it was just not particularly serious.

But Xia Qi doesn't care about this. In other words, even if the Qingyan Tribe is really facing a food shortage crisis, he will proceed with this transaction normally, and adding insult to injury will not happen between the Xia Tribe and the Qingyan Tribe for the time being.

between.

After all, there is a tribe with metal weapons, and the number is several times more than that of the Xia tribe. The most important thing is that this tribe has gone crazy because of food. Let me ask, what can Xia Qi do to resist such a tribe?

"This is the weapon we brought with us on this trip. Let's see if Clan Chief Xia is satisfied with it?" He said this, but the proud expression on Qingniu's face had exposed his true thoughts.

Xia Qi looked at what these people brought with a disappointed expression on his face.

What people like Qing Niu brought were already forged weapons. In the eyes of other people, these might be rare treasures, but in Xia Qi's eyes, they were nothing more than that.

Just because the forging technology of the Qingyan Tribe is still too poor, the forged weapons look very unsightly with pits and pits, and there are even cracks on some of the axes.

If you take out such a weapon in a battle, I'm afraid it will break into pieces in a matter of minutes.

Seeing the expression on Xia Qi's face, everyone in the Qingyan tribe showed expressions of dissatisfaction, but because of the bear standing next to them, they didn't dare to get angry for a while.

In their eyes, these are already very good weapons. How come you, a leader of a small tribe who has never seen the world, are still not satisfied with this?

Xia Qi explained: "You may have misunderstood me. What I want is ore, which is the stone that has not been processed."

As Xia Qi looked at it, the reason why these weapons had cracks was not only due to forging problems, but also because the smelting technology was probably not up to standard.

After smelting, blisters and gaps appeared inside the copper ingot.

Upon hearing Xia Qi's request, Qing Niu was stunned for a moment, but then he breathed a sigh of relief.

In his opinion, these weapons are the most precious things in their Qingyan tribe and should not be used for trade. Previously, it was just because there was a shortage of food in the tribe and it was a last resort.

Although he didn't know that Xia Qi only wanted ores and not weapons, he felt relieved.

"some."

Qing Niu put down the backpack on his back and then placed it in front of Xia Qi.

I saw that inside the basket was a small half basket of ore, and the whole body showed a purple-red color.

Xia Qi took out a piece of ore and looked at it, and found that it was a kind of very pure copper.

This discovery made Xia Qi a little disappointed, because the hardness of copper is much smaller than that of brass.

Forget it, it's better than nothing.

After discussion, the two parties finally reached an agreement by exchanging three baskets for one basket of copper ore.

Although the copper ore Qingniu brought this time was far less than one third of the basket, Xia Qi still gave them a basket of fish.

Later, Xia Qi had people put these ores in a special warehouse.

The quantity of these ores is still too small,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Xia Qi planned to save a certain amount first before talking about it. Also, he had not yet found a qualified person to use the skill book.

Time passed like this. Although the temperature did not drop again, the snow fell every three days, and the transactions between the two tribes became more and more frequent.

Judging from the transaction volume of the Qingyan tribe, the food gap of the other party is gradually increasing.

Because of the heavy snow, many tribes were at the end of their rope, and there were only two large tribes, Qingyan and Xia, around them. Under such circumstances, they began to gather towards the two tribes.

However, the Qingyan tribe did not have enough food, so they did not take in these tribes, and sometimes even expelled them.

Looking back at the Xia tribe, at the beginning, Xia Qi accepted them all no matter how many people came, but as time went by, the burden on the tribe began to gradually increase.

As a last resort, Xia Qi began to increase the number of fishing teams.

However, the area affected by the snow this time is really too wide. The further north you go, the greater the impact of the snow disaster will be.

In the next few days, more and more tribes came to the vicinity of Daxia Lake. Some people chose to join the Xia tribe, but some showed strong hostility.

Xia Qi also discovered that these tribes were tending to gather together, which forced him to take precautions.

One day later, while the fishing team was fishing, they were attacked by other tribes, causing one person to die and three people to be injured. Xia Qi asked Bai Lang to lead people to kill all the people of that small tribe to scare other tribes.

However, his method did not work and instead aroused the hostility of other tribes.

In the following days, although these tribes did not launch any more attacks, they often lingered outside the fishing team and camp, not knowing what they were thinking.

Finally, Xia Qi decided not to sit still and wait for death.

Outside the camp, a group of people looked at the camp with cold eyes. If it were not for the deterrence of the camp wall and the tribal warriors, they would have rushed into the tribe.

Whoosh!

A feathered arrow shot out from the tribe. Before these people could react, one of them reached the bottom and saw a feathered arrow shooting out from his neck.

What!

The remaining people were frightened and fled hurriedly away, but they were all shot down by a volley of fire that followed.

The tribe's suspension bridge was opened, and people from the Xia tribe swarmed out and attacked the camp settlements around the camp. Those who were willing to join the Xia tribe had already entered the camp, and most of those outside were people with ulterior motives.

Facing the sudden attack by the Xia tribe, the tribes instantly fell into chaos. Some wanted to fight back desperately, but most chose to escape. The battle ended without any surprises with the victory of the Xia tribe.

Facing a mob with ulterior motives, the Xia tribe paid a very small price, with only a few minor injuries.

"Surrender! We surrender!"

Some people collapsed and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

"Kill them all."

When Xia Qi saw this, he didn't feel the slightest pity and directly ordered all these people to be killed.

"Why, we have obviously surrendered, why..."

Someone's face was filled with tears and he repeated one sentence over and over again. He didn't know whether he was questioning Xia Qi or himself.

In response to this, Xia Qi did not reply, and had their heads cut off and made into Beijing.

View.

Its significance is self-evident.

From this time on, no foreign tribe would dare to step outside Jingguan unless they wanted to join the Xia tribe.

But even so, the population of the tribe continued to grow, so that all the underground nests built before that were already full of people.

There was no other way, Xia Qi could only settle the newcomers in the animal skin tent first.

The growth of population has led to a gradual increase in the demand for coal and food.

Xia Qi had no choice but to continuously send more manpower to the Black Gold Tribe and the fishing team.

The fishing team has even set up tents on the ice and started to implement a shift system.

In the camp, the first metal weapon forging finally started.

After such a long time, Xia Qi finally found a suitable candidate. This guy is called Chi. Although his bravery value is only two stars, his endurance, intelligence, and spirit have all reached four stars.

So Xia Qi assigned him the "Forging" skill book.

Now that the smelting steps have been completed, the next step is forging.

In fact, the smelting of ore can be very complicated, but it can also be very simple.

How simple can it be?

Just put the crushed ore into the clay crucible, then heat and stir continuously.

The quality of this batch of ore is very high, with almost no impurities.

Chi chose a copper ingot and heated it in the fire. Because it was coal, the temperature of the flame was very high.

Soon, under the continuous heating of the flame, the copper ingot quickly became hot and soft.

Then Chi took out the copper ingot from the fire with a large clamp made of bamboo, placed it on a flat stone, and beat it continuously with the hammer in his hand.

I don’t know what the material of this stone is. Not to mention the surface is flat and smooth, and it is also very hard. Xia Qi once asked a bear to do a test and smashed it with a stone. As a result, the stone in the bear’s hand was broken into slag. This stone is still the same.

In perfect condition.

And the hammer in Chi's hand was made by heating the copper into liquid, putting an iron birch rod into the handle, and then polishing it continuously.

There are usually two ways to make weapons. One is the current forging method of continuously forging into shape.

Another method is to smelt the metal into liquid and then pour it into the prepared mold to form it directly.

Both methods have their own advantages.

Although the forging method is slow, the weapons produced are more durable.

Although the weapons made by the casting method are not as strong and durable as the forging method, they are faster.

The forging method is suitable for small batch production, and the casting method is suitable for large batch manufacturing.

There are not many people in the tribe at present, so just slow down the forging method. Besides, the tribe doesn’t have the casting technology now, right?

After watching Chi Blacksmithing for a while, Xia Qi felt a little bored and left to do other things.
