Steampunk City [Infrastructure]
Chapter 8 Signs of Prosperity
Lie Xi was still wondering if he was thinking too much, how could something that could not be verified in the ancient hadith appear in such a small marginal tribe.
Luo Zhan had already taken the salmon and snake mother out to hunt. They ate up the last piece of meat and had to find a way to find food. It was impossible for people to wait to starve to death.
They are indeed interested in the meat that they carry, but it is impossible to run over and say something to help them taste it, because in a small tribe like theirs, it is equivalent to pointing a stone gun at someone's nose and saying, " Hand over your meat."
It will cause a fight.
Luo was very scared. He was afraid of being punched into the ground by his boss, so he had to go out hunting to try his luck.
The bearer looked at the meat in his hand, and originally wanted to share some with the two of them, why did he leave?
In a tribe with only two people, even he couldn't imagine how to survive, so it was a miracle that Luo Zhan and Salmon could live strong and live happily every day, in his opinion.
Of course, the most important thing is that he discovered the looming little secrets of this small tribe. If he wants to discover these little secrets, he cannot let the last two tribesmen die easily.
Today is a fine day for hunting.
But... because of the appearance of that ancient giant recently, the prey in this area either fled in panic or hid.
Luo Zhan and the others have been searching for a long time but have not encountered any prey. The only thing they are lucky about is that they have not encountered any foreigners so far.
They stay in the clan and dig the ground every day. They don't know what happened in this area. The powerful beast warriors are constantly pouring in, and the people of the small tribes on the edge dare not go out.
It is still the flat grassland, but it has gone deeper.
The wind on the grassland was very strong, blowing down the lush thatch that was as tall as a person, exposing the thick body of the snake mother in the grass.
Luo Zhan stood on top of the snake mother's head, his robe rustling.
Salmon held half of the stone spear, licked his lips and looked around cautiously.
They have been out for quite some time, but have found nothing.
"What to do?" asked the salmon. "There doesn't seem to be any game in these bushes."
They chose the grassland because Luo Zhan stood on top of the snake mother's head and had a good view. If it was a huge beast that could be seen in advance, they could choose to avoid it. If it was a smaller prey, they could try to hunt it down.
Luo Zhan originally thought that if there was a powerful ferocious beast warrior by his side, he could use his own eyes to forcibly share the spell on the opponent, and maybe he could even hunt down a stronger prey.
As a result, nothing.
A little frowning, they came out to hunt relatively late today, it seems that they can only dig some bitter grass roots to hang their lives.
Salmon put away half of the stone spear in his hand, and took out the bone knives, ready to dig grass roots. If there is no meat, there will be no meat. He is used to the hard life.
At this time, Luo Zhan suddenly "hush", clenched the stone spear tightly, and the snake pupils narrowed.
The salmon also tensed up, showing its small teeth, with a fierce expression.
There was a noise in the wind.
The sound grew louder and closer.
Looking up, Luo Zhan was stunned.
The originally vast sky was suddenly filled with mythical colors.
They were people, a group of people smaller than a salmon, with a pair of bronze wings stretched out from their backs, surrounded by a ring of magic power, flying across the sky.
This is the mantra performed by the back and ribs, and the principle is the same as that of Luo Zhan who uses the eyes as the weapon to cast the mantra.
Although these people are petite, they are not as thin as salmon, just as their bodies are so small.
Luo Zhe was stunned for a moment, heterogeneous?
There are many mutant races on the earth. Although they may look different from normal people, they are indeed human beings. There are alien tribes near them. It is nothing unusual. It is rumored that the ancestors of the ancient giants were also humans. Of course, the credibility is not high. This mutation It's a little too outrageous.
The scene where the sky was like a myth made Luo Zhan open his mouth in surprise. This was the first time he saw so many beast warriors with rings of mana.
Before they could react, a "bronze bird" in the sky broke away from the team and flew towards Luo Zhan's position.
As he got closer, he could see a flying bird totem between the forehead of the visitor, and the bronze wings on the back exuded a bronze luster, and when they were stirred, they rubbed against the air and made a whistling sound.
It was a very beautiful picture, but Luo Zhan didn't think so, because the visitor took a look at the pattern on Luo Zhan's robes, and then raised the stone spear in his hand.
"Unknown tribe? How long have you been here, do you know what the Xietong clan is doing here?"
It was obviously a boy, but he made a shrill voice like a little girl, with a high decibel.
Luo Zhan was so nervous, the last time he met a foreigner with a ring of beast warriors, he and the salmon almost died, but this time they encountered so many, and on the flat grassland, they had nowhere to hide .
It's unlucky that the prey was not encountered, but so many foreigners were encountered.
Fortunately, there was a sharp voice from the crowd in the sky, "Liu Que, come back quickly, don't fall behind."
The sharp sound penetrated like a gust of wind.
The person named Juque in front of him also seemed to be asking casually, flapping his wings and flying into the sky, and the brilliant ring of mantra left flame-like particles in front of Luo Lan's eyes.
Although it was an accident, Luo Zhan and Salmon had no intention of digging grass roots, so they turned around and ran away.
At first they thought it was over, but as soon as they returned to the clan land, they saw a river of bugs flying over their clan land in the sky.
The insect river in the sky formed a link, like a stream, but after encountering a "beetle" above their clan, it diverged from the middle as if diverted, and then converged again and flew away to the distance.
Very spectacular insect river.
what's the situation?When did their fringe areas become so lively?
"Is there a bug infestation?"
No, I've never heard of them having a pest infestation here, and there are continuous volcanoes near them.
Luo Zhan's muttering just stopped when a voice sounded from the side, "This is the spell of the ancient psychic clan."
It's the negative, I didn't expect the negative to be here all day, smoking meat there.
Luo Zhan hurried over.
On the platform of the cave, the bearer sat by the fire and smoked meat, as if he didn't care much about the situation in the sky.
Luo Zhan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, others were bacon, and they didn't even have to eat grass roots tonight.
Luo Zhan said, "We just met a group of small alien species outside. The spell they used made bronze wings grow from their backs. Who are they?"
Xiang Xi was straightforward, and replied, "A member of the ancient Tongque clan."
After such a long time, have you finally noticed the weirdness of this area?
It will be lively in the future, but life in this barren place is not so good. Not to mention the scarcity of prey, the biggest problem is the water source.
Their Xietong clan has already found the ruins in the depths of a grassland. The underground ruins are not easy to explore, and it is estimated that it will take a very long time.
But they are also ready to deal with everything. The last time such a ruin appeared was hundreds of years ago. That ruin finally turned into a city of miracles, which led to the rise of many ancient tribes.
So no one will give up. I am afraid that the so-called fringe area here will no longer be called a fringe area. It is inevitable that all forces will gather.
It's just that the situation here is a little different from the last ruin. It's too barren. If there are no other sources of supplies, it can't accommodate too many people. I don't know if it will become a mass of human beings like the last ruin. A gathering place of prosperity.
Luo Zhan muttered, what ancient psychic clan, ancient Tongque clan!
Like the name of the Xietong clan, I have never heard of it. They are a small tribe with little information. Even if the old patriarch often told him about the surrounding things before, he couldn't get in touch with them.
The sunset in the sky was red, and it was time for dinner.
Luo Zhan found that besides the green-skinned dinosaur at noon, there were a lot of prey beside the bearer. Is this a long-term food reserve?No wonder it hasn't been smoked all afternoon.
His eyes were dry with envy.
Especially the salmon, touching the belly and licking the mouth.
The boss was a little amused, and handed the meat that had just been tested to Luo Zhan.
Luo Zhan took a moment of caution.
He was instilled by the old patriarch since he was a child, the concept that meat is comparable to life, and he heard from the old patriarch since he was a child, how fiercely he fought with other tribes for meat.
Luo Zhan hesitated for a moment, and reached out to take it.
He didn't eat in vain, looking at the pitch-black barbecue, he said, "It doesn't taste good when you roast it like this, let me roast it for you."
This time, I was stunned for a moment, a person from a small tribe actually said that the meat roasted by his Xietong clan's barbecue method is not delicious?
He roasts the best parts of his chosen prey.
Luo Zhan also pulled the salmon, "The salmon can help gather firewood."
"The meat roasted by our little patriarch is very delicious." Salmon opened his mouth with a smile, and it seems that he doesn't need to be hungry today.
Salmon went to move the slate for the barbecue at noon, and Luo Zhan also went to the cave to get out the remaining salt.
Lie Xi looked at the two busy people with some amusement, these two people were quite interesting, did they intend to eat themselves for nothing?
He has seen too many unscrupulous things for meat. This is survival, and it is nothing. It is just that the two people who are already on the verge of desperation still maintain the last glory of humanity, which surprises him a bit.
Luo Zhan said that the meat he roasted like this was not tasty, and he didn't care. All tribes roasted like this.
Until, Luo Zhan handed him the roasted meat on the slate with two small wooden sticks.
There is no smell of meat, no smell of charcoal and smoke, the entrance is smooth, full of taste...
Lie Xi was indeed surprised. Is this another surprise given to him by this small tribe?
This meal was full of stars.
And those foreigners who entered this area also probably understood that the life in this barren area was difficult in the mouth of the bearer.
It's fine that the prey is scarce, they will always find a way to hunt some.
But water has become the biggest problem.
Is there a lack of water in this place?
On the contrary, next to the continuous volcano, there is the only river that cannot see the other side. The vast mountains and rivers are not just an adjective. After countless years of precipitation, the earth absorbs the dust in the starry sky. How many times bigger.
Tribal culture is also a river culture, and all tribes are basically built along rivers.
But the bigger the river, the more problematic it is, because life in water is more abundant and deadly than on land.
Even large tribes still retain an instinctive fear of unknown underwater dangers.
Whether it is the ancient Tongque clan or the ancient psychic clan, watching the huge river is silent.
A big fish that exudes the light of a star like a mountain jumped up from the river and went straight into the starry sky, startling a golden centipede like a dragon at the bottom of the river to flee in a hurry, and a mollusc monster with eight scarlet tentacles has been watching with cold eyes .
No one knows how many other beasts like this exist in this river.
On land, the visible danger would not be so scary, but the situation in the water is completely different.
This is an extremely dangerous area, and the greatest danger lies in this ridiculously wide river.
Not only the Tongling Ancient Clan and the Tongque Ancient Clan have to face the problem of water sources, but also the Xietong Ancient Clan who are in charge, not to mention other ordinary tribes who have heard the news.
The wildness has always been the wildness of ferocious beasts, and human beings are just scavengers, picking up teeth and wisdom from the cruel cracks and struggling to survive.
At this time, Luo Zhan and Xiang Xi, who had had dinner, went back to the cave together. It felt weird. According to the customs of the tribe, living in the same cave means having a baby together. The same goes for the two men. Luo Zhan and his tribe There have been instances of two men living together before.
The strong ones are responsible for hunting and providing food, and the weak ones only need to meet some necessary needs for each other at night.
Of course, Luo Zhan didn't think about it.
He was thinking, he had a mixed meal here tonight, but what should he do tomorrow?
The days are too miserable, hovering on the verge of starving to death at any time.
Luo Zhan had already taken the salmon and snake mother out to hunt. They ate up the last piece of meat and had to find a way to find food. It was impossible for people to wait to starve to death.
They are indeed interested in the meat that they carry, but it is impossible to run over and say something to help them taste it, because in a small tribe like theirs, it is equivalent to pointing a stone gun at someone's nose and saying, " Hand over your meat."
It will cause a fight.
