Soon, the fleet entered the river bend and approached the shore.
Lu Zhu led the warriors of the Otter tribe to the place where the fleet docked.
When Lu Zhu saw that the faces of the people on the boat were all painted with the totem patterns of the rattan tribe, he finally felt relieved.
Lu Zhu asked loudly: "Are you a friend of the Teng tribe?"
Jingjie replied: "I am the leader of the fishing team of the Teng tribe, Jingjie."
Lu Zhu laughed and said: "I am really a friend of the Teng tribe, welcome to the Otter tribe!"
Since migrating here, Lu Zhu saw a familiar tribe for the first time, and he was very excited.
"Come down quickly and take a rest in our otter tribe."
Lu Zhu enthusiastically invited Jing Jie to come down. Jing Jie did not hesitate too much and directly asked the crew to lay the planks connecting the hull and the river bank.
After the planks were set up, Nepeta got out of the boat first, followed by the five crew members.
For insurance purposes, others stayed on the ship temporarily to deal with emergencies.
When the tribesmen of the Otter tribe saw the warriors of the Teng tribe coming, some hid in their houses, while others walked over boldly, chattering and watching.
Even the big otters had a row of round heads emerging from the water, looking curiously here.
In this dangerous primitive world with extremely inconvenient transportation, every migration is likely to be a separation of life and death.
It is a very happy thing to see the familiar tribe again.
"Leader Nepeta, come on, come to the house. We found a lot of food here that is not found in the great swamp."
Lu Zhu invited Nepeta into the house very enthusiastically.
The houses of the Otter tribe are still the same as before, half built on the shore and half built in the water.
The giant otter chewed up countless logs and branches, and the otter tribe members used these logs and branches to build nest-like houses.
However, compared to before, the houses of the Otter tribe still have some changes, such as the roof.
In the past, the roofs of the Otter tribe were made of layers of wood and water plants, but now the roofs are made of a large number of reeds.
Fine reeds can have a very good waterproofing effect, and such a roof will not leak easily.
After entering the house, Jingjie saw a familiar three-legged pottery tripod, which was placed in the house on the shore side. The pottery tripod should be cooking fish, and there was a strong smell of fish.
At the bottom of the pottery tripod, there is still the totem pattern of the rattan tribe, but it has been scorched by smoke for a long time and has been covered with plant ash, making it difficult to see clearly.
Lu Zhu noticed Jingjie's gaze and smiled: "That pottery tripod was traded with your leader Xuan in the Shangui Tribe. It is very strong and has not cracked even after being used."
Speaking of this, Lu Zhu asked urgently: "How is the Shangui tribe doing now?"
Since Nepeta came here on an unknown watercraft, it means that the Vine tribe must be fine. Luzhu is very concerned about the Mountain Turtle tribe, because the relationship between the Otter tribe and the Mountain Turtle tribe is relatively good.
Nepeta replied: "The Mountain Turtle tribe is very good, even better than before, and the population has increased a lot."
"Then... what about the Bird of Prey tribe? Have they migrated again?"
When the words "Bird Tribe" were mentioned, Lu Zhu was still a little scared. Being surrounded by the Tribe of Birds had left some psychological shadow on him.
In his mind, since the Mountain Turtle Tribe is still there, it must be because the Bird of Prey Tribe has migrated again.
Nepeta smiled and said: "The Bird Tribe is gone."
"No more?" Lu Zhu's eyes widened.
"To be precise, it was jointly defeated by our Vine Tribe, Mountain Turtle Tribe, Bird Tribe, and One-Horned Tribe. The bones of the Bird God became the trophies of our Vine Tribe."
"Attack...Breakthrough..."
After Lu Zhu heard this, his whole body felt as if he was struck by lightning. His mouth opened wide, but he didn't say a word for a long time.
When the Otter Tribe migrated, they concluded that the Bird Tribe could not defeat them, so they had no choice but to migrate to other places to survive.
But now, Nepeta tells him that the Bird Tribe has been destroyed, which is equivalent to telling him that the Otter Tribe's original judgment was wrong.
If the Otter tribe had not migrated in the first place and instead cooperated with the Vine tribe and several other tribes, maybe they wouldn't have had to migrate to this place so hard.
Lu Zhu was in a daze for a while, and when he invited the Jie Jie and Teng tribe warriors to eat, he was also a little lost.
But things are already like this, and it is not easy to move back again.
Lu Zhu can only accept reality.
Lu Zhu said with a lonely expression: "What a pity for those ice lotus roots in the swamp."
The ice lotus root of the Otter tribe was once their most important specialty.
Ice lotus root tastes cold and sweet. It is a good way to relieve the heat in summer, and it has some benefits for improving the strength of warriors.
Just like the Magic Mushrooms of the Mountain Turtle Tribe, the Otter Tribe once relied on ice lotus roots to trade a lot of supplies with other tribes every year and make a lot of money.
But now, they have moved to a new place and have lost the specialty of ice lotus root.
Nepeta asked curiously: "When you migrated, didn't you bring some ice lotus seeds with you?"
Lu Zhu said bitterly: "I brought it, but the ice lotus root is naturally suitable for the swamp. After I brought it here, it grew poorly and its taste was also much worse."
Nepeta nodded in understanding, because the Vine Tribe is also planting some ice lotus roots in deep ponds, but compared to the ice lotus roots in the swamp, the gap is really big.
The first is the appearance, the transplanted ice lotus root is no longer crystal clear, and the second is the taste, the entrance is no longer cold, and it does not help the warrior's strength.
In other words, the transplanted ice lotus root has lost its characteristics and is no better than ordinary lotus root.
The reason why a specialty product is a specialty product is because it grows in a specific place to obtain the best taste and effects. If it leaves that place, it will have no advantage.
Nepeta asked again: "How are you doing here?"
"us……"
Just as Lu Zhu was about to answer, there was suddenly a roar outside that the tribesmen made when they were hunting and fighting.
Lu Zhu's expression changed, he picked up the weapon and ran out, not caring about Nepeta at all.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, outside the Otter tribe, thousands of warriors from other tribes roared towards the Otter tribe.
Soon, the Otter tribe and the tribe that suddenly appeared started fighting, and the fight was very fierce.
In the room, the Vine tribe warriors also held their weapons and looked nervous.
"Leader, what should we do?"
They gathered around Nepeta, waiting for him to make up his mind.
Jingjie frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Get back to the boat first."
"yes!"
The Vine tribe warriors and Nepeta quickly ran outside, and then boarded the boat at the river bank.
Because the warriors from the outer tribe came from the forest and had not yet entered the Otter tribe, their retreat was relatively smooth.
After arriving on the ship, Jie Jie finally had time to observe the battle.
It was the ape tribe that attacked the otter tribe.
The Ape Tribe is also a small tribe nearby, but they are much more powerful than the Otter Tribe. They have about two thousand people, and their totem god is an ape.
This time they attacked the Otter tribe, and they were accompanied by a large number of fierce apes.
As for the otter tribe, the population after the migration is about 500. Although the giant otters have relatively strong fighting power, their numbers are much smaller than that of the apes.
When the gap in strength is relatively large, the Otter tribe simply cannot withstand it.
"Get in the water, get in the water quickly!"
Lu Zhu, the leader of the Otter tribe, shouted loudly, and all the Otter tribe members fought and retreated.
Half of the houses of the Otter tribe are on the shore and half in the water.
After they retreated to the house, they immediately jumped into the water from all places without hesitation.
"Crash..."
The Otter tribe members and the big otters entered the water one after another, splashing with water.
Wherever giant otters live, many caves are usually dug, and most of the entrances to these caves are below the water's surface. Except for water animals, it is difficult for animals that live on the ground for a long time to enter.
In the blink of an eye, the people of the Otter tribe ran cleanly, and their speed was staggering.
This is one of the reasons why the Otter tribe is not powerful, but has survived longer than many tribes.
Escape is also a technical job.
"Find them out, find them out!"
The leader of the ape tribe jumped in anger when he saw the cooked duck flying away.
However, the warriors of the ape tribe did not dare to go into the water, and their search was in vain.
They couldn't even find the food and utensils of the Otter tribe, and it would be useless even if they demolished the house.
Is this just a waste of time?
The leader of the ape tribe was very unwilling. He originally expected to grab enough food from the otter tribe to take back for the winter.
Soon, the leader of the Ape Tribe set his sights on the Vine Tribe fleet on the river.
He didn't recognize a water vehicle like a "boat," nor did he recognize the totem flag of the Vine Tribe, but he guessed that there should be food on the boat.
At this time, the Vine Tribe fleet had just weighed anchor and had not had time to leave the river bend and sail to the deep water area.
"Take their stuff!"
The leader of the ape tribe gave an order, and all the warriors and apes immediately rushed to the Vine tribe fleet at a very fast speed.
"Leader, what should I do?"
The crew on the ship panicked. They did not expect to encounter such a situation on their first voyage.
Nepeta gritted his teeth and said: "Our boat will soon leave the river bank and go to deep water. Everyone, hold on."
Nepeta asked some of the warriors to row the boats, while others held weapons to prevent the warriors of the ape tribe from boarding the boats.
"Whoosh!"
The first ape started to jump. It grabbed the branches of the big tree by the river, swung suddenly, and swung directly to the boat.
In the air, the ape bared its teeth and spread its claws, looking as fierce as a beast.
It did not jump to the deck of the sailboat, but jumped directly to the mast, and then looked for an opportunity to attack the Vine Tribe warriors below.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Soon, countless apes jumped onto the boat, as did the ape tribe warriors.
The two sides instantly started fighting on the deck, and the fight was very fierce.
There are only a hundred warriors in the Vine Tribe fleet, and there are thousands of warriors in the Ape Tribe, and there are also a large number of fierce apes.
Even if these ape tribe warriors and apes couldn't all jump on the boat, with the huge gap in numbers, Jingjie and the others wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
On the bank of the river, an old ape sat on a big tree, watching all this coldly.
It is the totem god of the ape tribe.
Although he is not huge in size, his strength is relatively strong among the totem gods of small tribes.
With the totem god sitting in charge, the people of the ape tribe were full of confidence in robbing the fleet.
The leader and shaman of the ape tribe even considered whether to move these "woods" floating on the water back to the tribe.
At this time, the people of the Otter tribe were also watching the situation above.
Most of them hid in the underground caves dug by the giant otters. A small number of them dived from time to time to places with dense aquatic plants, peeked out to observe, and then went back to report to the leader and the witch.
In the intricate underground caves, there are more than 500 otter tribe members and many large otters hiding inside.
There are many oil-rich branches hidden in underground caves. They use these branches to light fires because they are flammable and can be stored in a moist environment better than other woods.
In the largest cave hall, Lu Zhu and Wu, the leaders of the Otter tribe, were sitting in front of the fire. Some soldiers had just come over to report the Ape tribe's attack on the Teng tribe's fleet.
Lu Zhu said: "Witch, they are attacking the people of the Teng tribe. Do we want to help?"
The shaman of the Otter tribe stroked his beard and said: "The Ape tribe is too strong. We can't defeat them all if we go up. Otherwise, we wouldn't have run away just now."
"But if we don't help, all the people from the Vine Tribe will die. Will the Vine Tribe blame us then?"
The otter tribe shaman touched his beard again, thought for a moment, and said: "You are right, let's do this. You take some big otters and warriors out, and whenever a person or monkey from the ape tribe falls into the water, pull them under the water.
,drown them!”
"But be careful not to show your head above the water."
"In this way, even if the Gotou tribe pursues the case, it can't be said that we didn't help, right?"
"What Wu said is true, then I will take people there now."
Lu Zhu picked up his weapon, then with a wave of his hand, he led some warriors and big otters into the water, and went under the Vine tribe's fleet to act as water ghosts.
In the cave hall, the flames kept beating, and the witch whispered: "Fight, fight, with the temper of the Teng tribe, if so many people die here, they will definitely not give up."
"It's best to let the Vine Tribe wipe out the Ape Tribe, then our Otter Tribe can live here safely."
Each tribe has different interests. As the shaman of the Otter tribe, he naturally thinks about the situation that is most beneficial to the Otter tribe.
For this reason, what does it mean to sacrifice some people from the Vine tribe?
As long as the people of the Otter tribe can survive.
…
From the time when the ape tribe attacked the fleet to when the otter tribe made its decision, it actually happened within a very short time. On the river, the battle was still going on.
"Crash..."
Nepeta swung the harpoon, impaled an ape tribe warrior, and then kicked him into the water.
The ape tribe warrior still wanted to struggle to climb onto the boat, but his feet were suddenly grabbed and he was desperately pulled under the water.
"Gulu gulu..."
The ape tribe warrior was pulled into the water. On the river surface, only a string of bubbles could be seen rising from the bottom of the water and exploding on the surface.
Nepeta noticed something unusual, but he had no time to think about it.
At this time, the battle was very fierce, and all six sailing ships were fighting together.
