Original War

Chapter 170: Slave

The long-distance team left from another river in the Pu tribe, also taking the waterway.

There are not so many lotus leaves in this river. People are standing on rafts one by one.

Shao Xuan and Yan were on the same raft, listening to others around them telling Yan about their long journeys.

In the sky above the raft team, Twitter followed. This Shao Xuan had already told Fanning the boss.

At that time, Fanning also hoped that Shao Xuan would pay for another water moon stone, but Shao Xuan refused. Chacha can warn the sky and reduce the chance of the Pu tribe encountering danger. With such benefits, do you still charge? Now the business here is underdeveloped, but these people already have the potential for profiteers.

In the end, even though Fanning’s complexion was not so good, he did not insist.

Since it is a long journey, it will naturally not take a day or two. Sometimes it will take dozens to hundreds of days when you go out.

Probably because there are more human tribes in this area, and there is no dangerous situation like the hunting zone on the other side of the river. Sometimes there are some troubles from underwater or harassment from other tribes, but in general, it is still It is calm and safe.

Because they often travel long distances, the people of the Pu tribe are very clear about which waterway is safer and which direction is safer and easier, and Shao Xuan also silently remembers these routes in his heart, and when he is free, he will draw these on the animal skins. Complete the drawing of the map. If one day the Yanjiao tribe on the other side of the river returns, they will always need these maps.

It has changed a lot for nearly a thousand years, and it is no longer what the ancestors recorded.

As we move forward, the river becomes wider and wider. Near the river, there will always be traces of human activities. Hearing from the people next to him, there is a small tribe not far in front, but that small tribe does not like to contact with people who fall outside, and is withdrawn. When they see people falling outside, they will avoid it, or throw stones and wooden arrows, etc. Pu tribe’s I don’t like this very much, but it won’t delay the speed of traveling.

“Be careful,” reminded the person who had several years of travel experience next to him.

On the shore in front, several women in animal skins were washing things. After seeing the rafts, they hurriedly dragged their things and ran away. When the raft team passed by, some arrows were shot from the woods on the hills on the shore.

Such strength is not a big deal to Shao Xuan, and even to the warriors of the Yanjiao tribe, as it can be easily caught and broken. But many such arrows are annoying.

The people of the Pu tribe held the wooden shields to block the arrows that were shot, and Shao Xuan took the knife and chopped down the wooden arrows.

If it is a big tribe, it is impossible to say that the Pu tribe will back down and exchanges in the past, but for such a small tribe, the people of the Pu tribe don’t bother to pay attention to those with weird tempers.

The speed of the raft increased, and when the raft team left the area, the arrows stopped.

In fact, those who are hiding in the bushes may not really want to shoot people who pass by. They are just frightening. If they are really intent on killing, they should be able to use stronger methods instead of not even cutting their heads too sharply. The wooden arrow is out.

There are many tribes around, and the small tribes have a very low sense of existence. Most of the tribes have hundreds of people, and they are not very capable. Their emergence and death are also fast. The Pu tribe does not spend too much energy to pay attention.

The people of the Pu tribe around Shao Xuan didn’t want to say more at all, they only cared about what was closely related to their own interests.

Two days later.

“The front is a fork, we will stay there for two days.” The person next to him looked at the darkening sky and said.

In the front, the river is divided into two branches, in a “Y” shape. There are also many people from other tribes who travel to the center. The Pu tribe knows many of them, and sometimes they will go together to make the long-distance team even better. Grow, so that there is more security.

There are too many strong players in the central region, and they can only contend with numbers.

Shao Xuan looked over.

On both sides of the river, there are no mountains, no dense woods, and become flat. Here, there are many houses built, including wooden houses and stone houses. The architectural styles are also diverse, ovoid, triangular, and flat-topped wooden sheds. Yes, the steeple thatch type… Just look at this one can tell that this is not a tribe.

Looking at people again, although the characteristics are not as obvious as the houses, everyone who sees them will have an idea: these people are too mixed, like a dish of loose sand. Every grain of sand comes from a different watershed and then gathers here.

Although there are many people, many people seem to be in very poor health. Some are skinny and some have no eyes. They are the same regardless of adults and children. Children are slightly better. In addition to their physical conditions, some will laugh. With a smile, the adults are more at a loss and depressed.

What happened to these talents?

“Who are these people?” Shao Xuan asked the few people beside him who were very experienced in traveling.

“You mean them.” Several people from the Pu tribe glanced over there, some sighed, some didn’t care, “They are’tourists’.”

The “tourists” in their words are not tourists, but people who are displaced and have nowhere to live. Like rootless duckweed, they often walk around and do all kinds of things in order to survive.

“They are the ones who lost the fire.” said a member of the Pu tribe next to him.

A person who has lost fire, no matter where he goes, his life will be in darkness. Without fire, how can power come from?

“Lost the fire?” Shao Xuan was curious about this statement.

“Yes, their tribe no longer exists, the fire is destroyed, and they have lost the source of power.” That humanity.

In the year when Shao Xuan awakened, Wu told them that the source of their power was in the body. Under the call of fire, it would gradually wake up, that is, the totem in his mind.

If the fire is destroyed, it means that the tribe no longer exists, the totem will naturally dissipate, and the source of power in the body will naturally fall into a deep sleep or even disappear.

No wonder those people are in that state. The tribe is gone, and the totem power is gone, becoming a “tourist”, wandering in the world, at a loss, all he can do is just survive, and it is completely dominated by the survival instinct.

However, this statement made Shao Xuan very surprised by the fact that the fire was extinguished. He originally thought that that special flame would exist for a long time, but now it seems that it can still be extinguished, but when it is extinguished, the tribe will be gone.

People from the Pu tribe said that after the tribe where the fire was destroyed, the tribe disappeared, and some people would use their own special survival skills in exchange for food. For example, coolie.

Perhaps, throughout their lives, they will all be in such a wandering state. Some people will abandon their own beliefs and join other tribes. Naturally, their offspring will awaken the totems of other tribes under the fire call of other tribes. But if the power of totems in the blood vessels in the body is too mixed, the awakening is good, even if there may be some discrimination, at least there is a safe place to stay and a place to belong. But if the awakening fails, they will be driven out of the tribe and continue the tourist life of their parents and grandfathers.

“Why don’t they go hunting?” Shao Xuan asked. But after asking, Shao Xuan realized the various situations that might exist in this. The power of the totem was gone, and the risk of hunting was too great.

“Hunting?” He smiled, “They won’t hunt by themselves unless they have to.”

Even if it is not like the forests on the other side of the river, in many places, one or two people cannot resist at all. At least one team can barely survive, especially those who have been abandoned by fire, and those who have no faith and strength. , Ten to nine deaths.

“If both parents are not wanderers, what will happen to the offspring?” Shao Xuan asked.

“Generally speaking, many tribes do not require that they must be combined with people within the tribe, such as our Pu tribe. As long as future generations accept the guidance of fire, there is only one choice, either accept the fire of this tribe or accept another. He can only awaken one source of power, otherwise, if both powers are awakened, it will cause conflict. People in small tribes prefer to marry people inside the tribe, but this also has disadvantages, if there are too few personnel , Easily confused.”

The person with rich travel experience in the Pu tribe also said that many unbelievable fornication phenomena occurred in some small tribes in order to increase the population, which made the whole tribe smog. People in the Pu tribe despise this.

Shao Xuan thought for a while. There were not many people when the Yanjiao tribe was in that place, but there were records in the hands of shamans. According to the records that Shao Xuan had seen, the population of the tribe grew very slowly. But it is very stable, and there is no such chaotic phenomenon as Yan said.

At the time when he was in the tribe, Shao Xuan felt that the witches of the Yanjiao tribe were very difficult. Now that I heard about the situation of other tribes, if it were not for the leadership and control of the witches of the Yanjiao tribe, it might have become like that.

Under those circumstances, it was really not easy to face all kinds of fierce beasts in the surrounding mountains and forests.

A good shaman and a good leader are indeed very important.

The long-distance team of the Pu tribe came ashore one after another, and Shao Xuan saw a ten-man team coming quickly to help the raft team of the Pu tribe carry things and take care of the rafts on the water. There was another person nearby with a whip and staring fiercely.

“Who are they?” Shao Xuan asked the person next to him.

“You say them.” The same words as before, but at this moment, the people of the Pu tribe no longer care about indifference or sigh, but with extreme contempt, and said: “Those are, slaves!”

Shao Xuan’s eyelids twitched.

At this moment, Shao Xuan only heard the unrestrained laughter in front of him, and the laughter was a bit harsh.

Looking up, Shao Xuan saw a person wearing leopard skin casually, walking over with a smile, tall and thin, with a pale face, not as dark as the people around him who were busy working. A pair of eyes were slightly squinted, and they seemed to be smiling happily, but Li Guang flashing through the eyes told Shao Xuan that this person was not easy to get along with.

“Hahahaha! See you again!” When the man came over, Panning, the big boss of the expedition team, hurried up to meet him. Fanning, who had always had no good expressions on Shao Xuan, smiled like a flower at the moment, and went to the other party. Speaking.

“Who is that person?” Shao Xuan asked the person next to him.

This time, the voices of the people in the Pu tribe were not so loud. They pressed their voices slightly and said, “He is the master of those slaves.”

In other words, the one wearing leopard skin is a slave owner.
