Chapter 2 Going out and exploring
"Okay, Xiaoyuan is here too, let's have a meal first!" said the clan leader slowly.
As soon as these words came out, the group of people standing in front of the patriarch walked towards a position near the stone wall of the cave. Only then did Chen Yuan notice that there was still a lot of food piled up in that corner.
Although most of them look dark and some don’t even know what they are made of, the food is indeed true!
The twenty or thirty people came to the food, and without hesitation, reached out and grabbed the food in front of them and swallowed it in big mouthfuls. On the other hand, the elderly, weak and sick and disabled people, although they kept swallowing, still stood still and had no intention of going forward to eat.
Chen Yuan knew that those foods were prepared for the expedition teams on the expedition. Only when they were full could they explore further outside and bring back more food.
As for those who stayed in the cave, most of them had participated in an adventure and retreated after being injured.
These people all understand the importance of the expedition team, so as long as they have stuttering, they can guarantee that they will not starve to death. Chen Yuan's body grew up like this.
"Xiao Yuan, let's go and eat something quickly. This time I will go out for at least three or four days and I won't be able to come back if I don't eat enough. Then I will be in trouble outside!" The guy who led Chen Yuan over was not polite at this time, and walked to the pile of food, picked up the food and swallowed it in big mouths.
"Xiao Yuan, why don't you eat?" The old patriarch's eyes fell on Chen Yuan.
Not only him, but the remaining seventy or eighty people around him were completely focused on Chen Yuan.
"Okay!" Chen Yuan swept through these people with a complicated expression.
The elderly, weak, sick and disabled had lost their hands and feet, and their bodies were even thin. The eyes were almost shining when they looked at the food, especially some younger children. If the parents had not been restrained, they would have rushed forward long ago.
But even so, there was no chaos here.
And all of this is for survival!
With a tough head, Chen Yuan also came to the pile of food, looked at the remaining food, and frowned even deeper.
There was too little food and there were too many people in the team. At this moment, Chen Yuan was left with only a few large pieces of black dried meat that were not known to have been exposed. Chen Yuan turned his head and looked at it. The guy who called him to come was also gnawing on this kind of jerky meat.
Immediately, I stopped hesitating, picked up a piece of jerky meat and ate it in one bite.
vomit……
The next moment, Chen Yuan almost vomited it out.
As soon as the dried meat was put into his mouth, a strong smell of fishy smell suddenly poured into his nose. Chen Yuan couldn't accept the smell.
In addition, his stomach was not very hungry, so Chen Yuan simply gave up on his continued swallowing.
"Xiao Yuan, don't you eat? When you go out and get hungry, you can only eat dirt!" The man next to him said.
However, Chen Yuan simply stuffed the dried meat in his hand to the man. The man took it without hesitation, and didn't mind Chen Yuan biting it. He crunched it and stuffed it into his mouth and started chewing it.
At this moment, the old patriarch who was still standing on the platform suddenly spoke: "You are all good children of the tribe and the most powerful warriors in the tribe. I believe you are very clear about what kind of crisis the tribe is in.
Now the tribe is facing the dilemma of food shortage and the danger of groundwater flooding the tribe at any time, so you will have two great tasks when you go out this time!
First, bring back as much food as possible! Second, we should explore as many places as possible, and it is best to find places suitable for tribes to survive. Once we find them, we can move out of here without having to bear the risk of being frightened. Have you heard of them?"
"Yes! We will definitely try our best to collect more food and bring it back, and we will also search for caves suitable for tribes to live in as much as possible!" Everyone answered in unison.
However, Chen Yuan noticed a detail, that is, even if a large group of people answered together, the sound was still very small. If it were to be described, it would be that the sound was less than forty-tenths of the lake. If it weren't for the extremely quiet cave here, people who were farther away might not be able to hear it clearly.
"This time the team is divided into six teams and searches in six directions. You must explore as much as possible. Of course, you must pay attention to safety, especially Gonglong. A few days ago, Damao and the others found new traces of Gonglong feces near the tribe. It is very likely that Gonglong exists. You must be careful!" The old patriarch reminded again.
"Yes!" A group of people should be.
At this moment, the food has basically been eaten by the team, and many people still licked their tongues with unsatisfactory feelings, as if they were not full.
"Okay, let's go!" The old patriarch waved.
Suddenly, a team of more than 30 people walked directly towards a stone wall behind the old patriarch.
When he was about to arrive, Chen Yuan suddenly saw the man in front walking into another stone chamber and soon walked out again.
When he came out again, he had already added a large bundle of weapons on his hand!
It was actually a bit reluctant to say that it was a weapon. Chen Yuan saw that although there were swords, guns, swords and halberds inside, most of them were rusted, and some even had gaps larger than the good blade position. Even so, the man carefully placed the weapon on the ground.
At the same time, people in the team began to step forward and took a weapon they liked, and kept wiping them in their hands with their love, as if wiping their beloved toys.
Soon, it was Chen Yuan's turn.
There was only the last weapon left on the ground, which was a black fire stick-like thing. Fortunately, the top was sharp, so it could be used as a spear.
"You're the one!" Chen Yuan grinned and picked up the fire stick.
At this time, the guy who led the lead had moved away another big stone not far away, revealing a hidden dark hole behind it. This hole was the only entry and exit passage for their tribe to the outside world.
"Okay, the six teams are scattered and left, and the team will follow me first!" The man turned around and shouted in a low voice, then took the lead and walked in.
Suddenly, five people in the crowd quickly followed him and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Team 2 and me!" Another person came forward and shouted, and then five more people disappeared along with each other.
Then there are teams three, four and five!
When the fifth team was about to disappear, the man who led Chen Yuan suddenly came back from the cave and glared at Chen Yuan and said, "Xiao Yuan, why are you standing there? Come on!"
"Oh, come now!" Chen Yuan then realized that he actually belonged to Team 5!
He lowered his head and drilled into the cave. Only then did Chen Yuan realize that the cave was actually not as spacious as he thought, so he could only arch his body and barely drill in.
After walking forward for hundreds of meters, the passage in front of me gradually became widened, and the nearby one was no longer the dark rock walls, but replaced by a dark layer of soil!
After coming to the soil layer, the group of people became much more cautious.
Moreover, Chen Yuan noticed that when he arrived here, the number of caves had increased significantly, and there were only six passages to different locations.
The captain in the lead hesitated for a moment and took the five people behind him toward the far left passage.
Chapter completed!
