In an old wooden house, Dan and Erbo sat opposite each other.
"We haven't seen you for a few years, how are you doing here?" Dan asked.
"It's getting worse." Erbo shook his head and said: "The last time you came here, there were still 800 people in the tribe. Now, there are only less than 600 people. We have lost more than 200 people in three years. Just think about it.
Heartache!”
"How could this happen?" Dan was shocked when he heard this.
Although the Yan tribe suffered losses when they went hunting, a few a year was already an unbearable burden. More than 200 people died in three years, which is really shocking.
"You also know that the ferocious beasts have always reproduced faster than us and other desolate people. Now they have grown in size and always appear in groups. I, Mabu Erlang, are not as tall, powerful and powerful as you Yanbu people.
. When I go out hunting, I always suffer losses. That's not all. After these evil animals taste the sweetness, they actually follow the trail here and attack the people. If the people in the tribe are not careful, they will be bitten by the ferocious beasts.
.Last year, several groups of ferocious beasts forcibly attacked the stronghold. If I, Mabe Erlang, had not resisted, the consequences would have been disastrous. I see that this is not the way to go, so I wanted to invite you to come over for discussion. Who knows, but the person who went there has not been heard from since. I want to come.
It was a disaster."
"When we were climbing over the mountain, we saw a few skeletons in the cave over there. I wonder if they are from your tribe."
"What's going on?" Erbo asked.
"It's nothing. When I came here, I met a group of bloodthirsty ferocious bats in a cave at the foot of the mountain. I blocked them in the cave and poisoned them to death. When I finally cleaned up, I found a few corpses."
"That should be Gengma and the others." Erbo sighed.
"After all, this place is too close to Zushan, so you haven't thought about moving away from here?" Dan said.
"Perhaps not before, but in recent years I have seen the tribesmen sacrifice so much, so I came up with this idea. That's why I wanted to come to you to discuss it last year, but something happened. Fortunately, you came here, otherwise I would have fought hard this year.
If I don’t want this old bone, I have to go to your tribe.”
"Then move! We just happened to come over and can help you. Now that the ferocious beasts around our tribe have been killed, it is very safe. You might as well move over there and be neighbors with us, so that we can take care of each other."
"That's okay, but there are so many things involved in moving away from here, it will take some time, and I'm afraid you won't be able to wait."
"As long as it doesn't take too long, we can wait."
"That's good."
"By the way, how is Shibu doing now?" Dan asked.
When Erbo heard Dan's question, he suddenly looked sad and sighed: "No more."
"What?" Dan was shocked, "Didn't they go underground? They were gone."
Ishibe is a tribe near Mabe, with nearly a thousand people. As the number of ferocious beasts in the forest increased, people living outside were often dragged away by the beasts. The shaman of Ishibe asked the tribe to move to a place not far from the tribe.
Living in an underground cave, unexpectedly something happened.
"Look at this." Erbo took out a broken bone from his arms and handed it to Dan.
The bones have crystallized, and dark lines are looming on them. Even if they break, you can feel an unknown pressure escaping from them.
"True Rune Bones!!!" Dan Shi's expression changed, "Could it be that the Shibu was killed by the desolate beast that cultivated the True Rune Bones?"
Erbo shook his head.
"What's going on, you tell me!" Dan said anxiously.
"I don't know what the real situation is, because when I went there, all the people in Shibu were dead. But judging from the situation at the scene, it should be that Shibu was attacked by a group of rat beasts. In the end, he couldn't resist it, and Wumeng activated the half of them.
You know where the rune bone comes from. You should know the price to pay for activating an incomplete rune bone. When I went there, apart from forcing the rune to be drained into a skeleton, Wumeng could not see anything at all.
When you see a complete Shibu man, there are stumps and broken arms everywhere. You definitely don’t want to see that kind of situation.”
Dan looked dejected after hearing this.
As a shaman who has received all the inheritance from the tribe, he does not know the dangers of activating incomplete rune bones.
In fact, not only was it incomplete, even activating the complete rune bones was not an easy task. I just didn't expect that the price paid would be so heavy.
After a long time, Dan asked: "Where are they buried? I want to see them."
Erbo shook his head and said: "There's no need to go. It had been a few days when I arrived at Shibu, and the bones were already a bit rotten and gave off a smell. In order to avoid the plague, I had people block the entrance to Shibu's original entrance.
Can't get in anymore."
"Oh, I didn't expect that such a good tribe would be gone after just saying goodbye."
"I didn't expect that either."
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Since you, Mabu, are moving there, let's wait until we get married. Tonight, I'll let you, my son, see the skills of my warrior, Yanbu."
"That's fine." Erbo nodded.
Gongliang entered Mabu and found that the people here were different from the Yanbu. The clothes they wore were mostly light silk and linen, unlike the Yanbu people who were all dressed in animal skins. And the things they used included pottery and wine.
, unlike Yanbu who only used stone and wooden utensils, even the wine was in a mess, and it was not until he arrived that things improved.
Obviously the two tribes often intermarry, why are they so different?
The public servant was very curious.
When he just came here, he also discovered that there were fruit trees planted outside Mabe and a piece of land reclaimed for planting. It seemed that the civilization of this tribe was higher than that of Shibe. It should have entered the farming civilization, and Yan
But the tribe is still stuck in the era of hunting civilization.
At night, Mabe lit a bonfire, and the flames burned like the enthusiasm of Mabe people.
In order to welcome the arrival of the Yanbe people, the Mabe people brought out the best food and the most fragrant wine at home to entertain the guests.
One after another, the enchanting Mabe girls were dressed up, barefooted, holding fine wines and delicacies, and shuttled in front of the Yanbu warriors. The sight of the newly grown Yanbu warriors made the Yanbu warriors' blood boil with excitement, their eyes gleamed, and their mouths watered.
Gongliang was an exception among this group of warriors who had just come of age, because he was not here to ask for a hand in marriage, but just to meet him, so his blood was not boiling with excitement. What made his mouth water was just the delicious food on the table.
Although the food cooked by the Mabe people is not as delicious as the dishes he added pickled river fish as seasoning, it still has a different flavor.
Therefore, after the banquet started, he paid no attention to anything and just started eating.
"Why..."
While he was eating, he suddenly heard someone shouting in his ear. He looked up and saw that it was the girl who persuaded him to drink when he entered the tribe.
"Hello." Gongliang greeted him in a friendly manner.
"Huh," the girl ignored him and placed the dish she was holding on the table, "Yours." Then she walked away gracefully.
It is a roasted, golden and fragrant plump pheasant.
Gong Liang's appetite was whetted by the sight, so he grabbed it and took a bite, and the golden meat oil spurted out instantly. "Ouch, ouch, ouch," Yuan Guoguo next to him screamed in displeasure when he saw him eating alone. Gong Liang glared at it, but had no choice but to tear it apart.
I gave it a chicken drumstick, then ignored it and started eating.
The girl who was carrying the food saw the way he was eating from a distance and said with disdain: "It's really barbaric."
"Isa, what are you still doing there? Serving the food."
