Chapter 177 The Prairie Tribe
Because of the revenge and massacre of the Thousand Face Tribe, the travelers discussed it for a long time, and continued to talk about similar things over the years, allowing Shao Xuan to obtain some new information.
Not to mention, in addition to the Thousand Face Tribe, there are actually several tribes recorded on the animal skin scroll left by their ancestors.
According to the information obtained, Shao Xuan marked the animal skin roll carefully after marking it, and carefully rolled it up and put it away. These were all taken back to the Yanjiao Tribe.
If the Yanjiao tribe returns, can the glory of that year be reproduced?
Shao Xuan is looking forward to that day very much.
Neither Shao Xuan nor Wei mentioned to others that he had met the Thousand Face Tribe. After two days of traveling on the river, the team abandoned the raft and walked instead. Because it was not convenient to use the raft further forward. Although there were rivers, it was not as fast as walking. The ones behind had to go higher.
The area ahead is in a higher terrain. I heard that there are grasslands with invisible ends and snow-capped mountains with invisible tops.
It sounds a lot like some places in the Fire Corner Tribe Hunting Area.
The grassland is very large and there are also some tribes of all sizes. Wars often break out between the tribes there. The long-distance teams will not go deep into the grassland, nor will they get involved in war-related matters. They just pass by the grassland and exchange something with the tribes there.
At this time, the grass on the grassland is green.
Walking along the river and stepping onto the grassland, Shao Xuan looked around.
The sky is high and the air is clear, the grass is green, and there are some small flowers that cannot be named on the grassland, with a faint fragrance.
Looking forward, the green grassland is endless.
In addition to the river crossing the grassland next to Shao Xuan and others, there are many small lakes scattered on the grassland. The lake water reflects the blue sky.
There are also some thinner rivers, which pass through lakes of all sizes. The river water is clear, and you can see some small fish swimming quickly when you walk over.
"This is the grassland. If you walk a little further, we will enter the 'Feng' tribe." An experienced traveler next to him said to Shao Xuan.
The Feng Tribe is one of the tribes on the grassland. The team of the Far Travelers is about to pass through the Feng Tribe. The Feng Tribe and the Far Travelers team are already familiar with each other. This route has been around for many years, and both sides have known each other for a long time.
For the people of the Feng tribe, the tribes in the Far Traveler team are too far away from here and there is no problem of competing for territory with them. Too far away does not pose a threat to them. What's more, every time these long-distance teams pass by, they can also take out some of the things produced by their tribe and exchange them with the people of these long-distance teams.
Many people in the tribe like this kind of transaction. You can exchange for something that is rare for them without leaving the tribe. It is simple and easy to deal with.
For the people in the Far Traveler team, it is a win-win situation to be able to exchange things and pass through this grassland under the protection of the Feng Tribe. For this, they don’t mind making a little compromise when trading.
"Where are the people from Feng Tribe? I didn't see it." Wei looked around and said.
"They live in this place, but this is their sphere of influence. Sometimes the Feng tribe will send people to patrol here. Walk a little further and you should be able to meet the patrol team." The man next to him said.
"The Feng Tribe is so big!" Wei sighed.
"This is quite big? If you see those real big tribes on the grassland, then don't you stare out?" The man next to you smiled, "Many tribes on the grassland will raise cattle, sheep, horses, etc. They also hunt, but there are not many prey here. Most of the time, they eat those raised animals. The animals raised need to eat grass. The grass on the grassland is for those raised animals. If there is not enough grass, there will be no many animals."
Without the animals raised, there will be no source of food, and the tribe will naturally not be able to live a good life. Listening to the stories of the people next to him, he nodded in a clear way. Most of the here are grasslands, without dense forests, and there are not many wild animals living here. Unlike their Pu tribe, even if there are no things brought back by travelers, they can still find food from the surrounding mountains and forests.
As he was talking, Shao Xuan heard a booming sound, and there was also a trembling movement on the ground under his feet.
"Someone is here."
"Don't worry, it's the patrol team of Feng Tribe."
"By the way, do you know that many tribe warriors on the grassland are riding horses?"
"Riding a horse?" Yu had only eaten horse meat, but he had never rode it.
Shao Xuan and other travelers from the team looked in the direction where the sound came.
There are some large raised mounds over there, covered with green grass.
As the rumbling sounds got closer, figures appeared at the place where the mounds and the blue sky met. Soon, more figures appeared in everyone's sight.
Some of the patrol teams have more than a dozen or twenty people patrolling everywhere, and sometimes, they are large groups of people acting together. Not all of them are patrol teams, most of them are other members of the tribe. People from the tribe will not stay where they live all day, and will ride horses and gallop on the grasslands in groups whenever they have time.
Hundreds of horses rushed down from the huge green mound and rushed towards the ranks of travelers, bringing a magnificent aura.
The horses began to slow down when they were approaching the far-distance team. With the long neighing, the horses gradually stopped and surrounded the far-distance team.
Several big leaders of the long-distance team also knew the people who were leading the way. They greeted them with a warm smile and started chatting with them. They also threw them some things that were extremely rare on the grassland they had changed on the road.
The people led the team from Feng Tribe collected the items and said, "Many people in our tribe are waiting. A few days ago, someone asked you when you will come. Until today, I finally saw you."
When they saw the long-distance team, the people from Feng tribe were very happy. Some of them shouted that they would go back to prepare for exchange immediately. Some controlled the horse speed and walked towards the tribe while asking what new things were in the team. A young man even started chatting with the frog poison. He was very interested in the frog poison carried by the frog poison, and asked him to teach him how to use the stings that had been smeared with frog poison.
Shao Xuan talked to the person who was leading the team in the Feng tribe patrol. For the sake of the chattering thing.
The leader of the patrol team was Yibei. When he saw the eagle in the sky, Yibei closed his underestimation to Shao Xuan.
Without being as afraid as Guanghou, the leader of the Pu tribe, Yibei and others were not so repulsive of giant eagles like Zhazha. As long as they did not attack the beasts raised by the tribe, they were quite happy to let Zhazha fly over their tribe.
Because every day, many big birds in the sky capture the livestock raised by the tribe. The Feng tribe does not have the eagles they raise and train to defend themselves, and can only make some defenses artificially. Yi Bei did not expect that there would be a person with a giant eagle in this long journey team, and he was also more enthusiastic about Shao Xuan.
Seeing Shao Xuan and the people from the Pu tribe walking together, they were quite familiar with each other, Yi Bei thought that Shao Xuan was also from the Pu tribe, but he just didn't draw on his eyes. They were not very curious about other tribes, and they had it before, but when they became familiar with it, there was no newness. Anyway, they were just passers-by.
In the long-distance team, there were also some people from the Pu tribe who temporarily wiped out the paintings on their eyes after leaving the tribe, which made Shao Xuan not conspicuous.
The long-distance team followed the Feng tribe's people to the Feng tribe's station. It was already late, and the long-distance team could not leave after trading. After walking so far, it was just right to take advantage of this opportunity. Stay in the Feng tribe for two days and take a break. When you pass through the grassland and walk a little more, you will be about to enter the central part. There will be no time to rest at that time.
The grassland is full of scenery, and you can hear many people singing. There are also some children playing by the river and lake, catching fish, coming and going around. There are adults and children riding horses. They look peaceful and can't imagine that this tribe had fought with another tribe not long ago.
Not long after, Shao Xuan saw the houses made of animal skins, grass, wood, etc. not far away, some of which looked like tents.
"Stay here tonight now. We are here for you to rest." Yibei pointed to a row of simple wooden houses over there and said.
Although there are many wooden houses, there are also many people in the team, so I have to squeeze in again.
Shao Xuan, Wei and others entered the room together. After cleaning up for a while, Shao Xuan looked through the window to other parts of the Feng tribe.
In some wooden fences, there are many strange-looking cattle and sheep. Perhaps it is the wild domesticated breed of this grassland, which is different from some cattle and sheep that Shao Xuan had seen. Further away, there are some people driving the cattle and the flocks of sheep walking back.
"By the way, didn't you say that the tribes on the grassland will also take in some tourists? Where do they all live?" Shao Xuan asked the people next to him who had a lot of experience.
"The tourists don't live here. This is where the Feng tribe live. Sometimes the guests will be here, but in addition to that, tourists and others are there." The man said, pointing in one direction.
Shao Xuan looked in the direction he pointed, and there were large green mounds that were raised there, and tourists lived on the other side of the mound.
Although the people of Feng Tribe would ask tourists to help and give them a meager reward, they were still on the verge of being on guard.
After crossing the hills, Shao Xuan could see some not-so-high mountains. The peaks of the mountain were covered with green, there were not many trees, and most of them were grass and stones.
Further apart, you can see some mountain shadows with white peaks in a hazy place, and there is the territory of other tribes.
I heard that the long-distance team was coming, and many people from the Feng tribe came over with things to exchange with the long-distance team. Shao Xuan had no intention of exchanging. He hunted a cow in the middle of the journey, and still had a lot of roasted meat that had not been eaten. The remaining water moon stones were kept in the middle before use.
However, when Shao Xuan was bored on the raft, he polished and carved some things with some animal bones and horns. He had two bone knives in his hand and several bone ornaments carved into various ferocious beasts. He was replaced by a middle-aged man with lamb legs. That man liked these very much and exchanged them for the children at home.
When the sky gradually darkened, fewer people came to exchange things. After eating food, the people from the far-distance tribe had to rest.
Looking at the dark sky, Shao Xuan planned to go to the place where tourists live tomorrow to take a look. He felt that he could find the person he wanted here. (To be continued...)
ps: The next update will be a little later, so everyone will go to bed first.
