Well, the water tastes better that way.

In the giant wood forest of the Wood tribe, there is a grass nest on the top of the pine mountain, hiding behind a giant tree and looking out.After repeating this action more than a dozen times, he finally saw the person he was waiting for.

"Why are you waiting here today?" Hu Xiao put the basket in his hand on the ground.

Fearing that the cannibals would discover the trade with the Wooden Tribe, each tribe set up a hidden spot and put the animal skins used to trade salt there while it was dark. .Each tribe took advantage of the darkness to move the salt back to the tribe.

So it's a little strange to see Songshan and the roar of the tiger here.

Songshan replied: "I'm here to wait for you."

He squatted down savagely, his eyeballs almost turned into coarse salt, and he happily touched a handful of coarse salt that was not very white, "I put the animal skin in the old place for salt replacement, remember to get it. I It’s not easy to memorize so much, the cannibals have recently sent more people around the tribe, and all this salt has to be hidden and moved back to the tribe after dark.”

"By the way, are your priests back yet?" Song Shan used the leaves of a giant tree that he had climbed and collected in advance to build a solid back basket. Starting to doubt us. "

Hu Xiao nodded, "I just came back."

Songshan was holding a basket full of coarse salt, and the previous joy was gone, but there was a lot of melancholy, "Five days later, it will be the day to exchange salt with the cannibals. They sent someone to inform us that we will go to the salt department in three days. Yanshan. I came to you just to talk about this, and it’s just in time for your priest to come back, so you can talk to him and ask him if there is any way for us to hide.”

He obviously had enough salt, but he really didn't want his tribe to be "meat men" and to rob the salt mountain of Yanbu. These tribes must have made meat shields to keep the cannibals in front of them.

At that time, I don't know how many orc warriors will die.

Hu Xiao looked solemn, and replied: "Okay, I will tell the priest when I get back, you go back and wait for the news."

Matsuyama was slightly relieved to get the promise, and hoped there could be a way.If even the priests of the Mu tribe can't help it, they can only admit it.

Now think about it, the priests of various tribes are also very good in the wood tribe, at least they can live.As long as the priests of the tribe live, the tribe will not die.

At the same time, in the big earthen house where the Wood tribe was discussing matters, Shen Nong told the seven priests his conditions with a smile on his face, "We need the orc warriors from your tribe to work here."

If there are enough people, the Mu tribe can realize a life where everyone lives in a small brick house.

Limestone clay and iron slag are also available. Use the local method to burn a simple cement to repair the roads in and around the wooden tribe.As long as the orcs don't turn into beasts and jump back and forth on it, the life span of this poor-quality concrete road is not bad.

But no matter how perfect the plan is, it is useless. Now the iron ore has begun to be dug, and the transaction at the seaside is also on the agenda. People are needed everywhere.

There are really not enough people in the Mu tribe, and there is no one to do a lot of work, which is also worrying.

The priests didn't understand what "work" meant, so Shen Nong explained roughly.There is no currency here, so the orcs who come to work are provided with three meals a day.

The orcs are busy with stuttering every day, Shen Nong promises to feed them and give them a piece of tanned animal hide every 30 days.

This group of priests knew very well what the animal skins of the Wood tribe were like. They couldn't sleep without lying on the animal skins.Just make sure to feed the orc warriors who come to do the work...

The others didn't dare to ask, and finally Shanfeng said uncertainly: "Priest of the Wood Tribe, do you know that orc warriors have big appetites, right?"

Shen Nong nodded strangely, of course he knew.It is said that if that guy really opens his belly to eat, he can eat nearly twenty catties of meat at a time. The higher the level of the beastman, the bigger the beast, and the more he eats.

For example, the group of young orcs in Maocao who had just awakened had to eat at least six catties of meat for a meal.Every time Shen Nong saw him, he would sincerely think about how that small body could eat so much meat. If there were so many orcs in the beast world who traveled to the interstellar world, each of them could become the anchor of the king of stomachs.

Shen Nong felt that when Shanfeng asked this question, his expression was a bit strange, "I know, what's wrong?"

The seven people looked at each other, with hesitation on their faces, and after each hooked their heads and whispered, Yumu's old voice sounded, "Priest of the Wood Tribe, if you can really feed the orc warriors who came to work, the Wood Tribe doesn't have to let the seven Super orc warriors help us tame wild beasts, and there is no need to give animal skins... as long as you don't drive them back to the tribe."

The other six nodded repeatedly, fearing that Shen Nong would disagree.

It is true that the orc warriors are really good at eating. They are afraid that the warriors in the tribe will come to the Wood tribe to eat for two days, and they will all be driven back by the priests of the Wood tribe.

Shen Nong's handsome eyebrows slightly raised, is there such a good thing?

He glanced at the seven people and found that they were serious, Shen Nong was not polite, so he agreed on the spot.

Ever since the Mu tribe had bamboo rafts, fishing nets, and fishing boats, they couldn't finish eating those fish, and even the pickled salted fish was almost exploding.

In the past, the Mu tribe was worried about not having enough meat to eat, but now they are worried about not being able to eat meat.

Perhaps it is the idea that the orcs have engraved in their genes, and it is impossible to let go of the prey that is close in front of them.Therefore, even if the tribe had too much meat to eat, the hunting team still brought back a bunch of fish every day.

It hurts to stop for a day.

For this reason, there are too many fish skin clothes in the warehouse.

Shen Nong has rezoned a piece of land and plans to build another brick warehouse to store various materials of the Wood tribe.

He can't guarantee anything else, but it is 100% certain that the orcs will eat with their stomachs open.

The seven priests also felt that they had made a lot of money. Although the tribe was no longer short of salt because of the trade with the Wood tribe, they were short of meat.

It can be said that the orc warriors in the tribe have never really opened their bellies to eat.

When both parties felt that they had made a lot of money, they quickly reached a specific agreement.

Shen Nong had been prepared for a long time, and repeated the rules and requirements that the orcs had to abide by when working. The priests of all tribes felt that there was no problem after listening.

After the negotiation was finalized, Shen Nong wanted to send him off, but the seven of them hesitated, "Are there any questions for the priests?"

Everyone looked at me and looked at you, and finally Shanfeng stood up and said with some guilt: "Priest of the Wood Tribe, can we swear to the beast god?"

Shen Nong understood, not to mention these priests, even he himself has worries.It's not that they are afraid that they will leave after half of their work, but that the orcs of other tribes will not follow the requirements and guidelines they have negotiated.

Because there is no constraint between them.

There is no such thing as signing a contract in the beast world, and some related systems have not been established.

Everything is a verbal promise, and it is normal for everyone to have no bottom in their hearts.

It's just that "wealth and wealth are sought in danger", and the Mu tribe really has no manpower, and the recruitment is also the result of careful consideration.

For Shanfeng's proposal, Shen Nong is more in favor of it, after all, people in the beast world are full of awe of the "beast god".The restraining effect of the beast god on them is stronger than the contract of later generations.

"Okay."

With complicated emotions, Shen Nong followed the seven people to swear to the beast god they revered, promising to abide by the agreement and never betray.Fortunately, there were not too many rules formulated, and after a while, Shen Nong breathed a sigh of relief.

Because they solved the food problem for many orc warriors in the tribe, the seven priests prepared to leave with smiles on their faces.

Zezheng walked in the opposite direction with the seven people holding the pottery cup, his eyes were fixed on Shen Nong, "Priest, I boiled the water according to your request."

He walked up to Shen Nong, bowed his head and sent the pottery cup forward, "Are you thirsty?"

Last night's troubles were too long and too disorganized, and Shen Nong's lips were even slightly swollen when he woke up early in the morning.The strange feeling on his lips made him annoyed when he saw Ze, so he asked Ze to go out and slowly boil water on a low fire, in order to make Ze Bie dangle in front of his eyes.

Now I am really thirsty, the water in the clay cup is already warm, and the entrance temperature is just right.

He drank more than half of the glass with a heavy gurgling to quench his thirst.

Shanfeng has always been curious about the method of getting hot water, he stayed at the end again, and asked after Shen Nong finished drinking the water: "Priest of the Wood Tribe, when I came in, I saw the orc warrior beside you using a small The fire boils the water. Is this to make the water taste better?"

Putting the pottery cup on the wooden table, Shen Nong raised his eyes and glanced at Cho, jokingly said: "Well, the water will taste better this way."

Cho was caught by that glance, his breath tightened, his hands were clenched into fists and pressed against his side, trying to restrain the turbulent agitation.

Now Shen Nong has evolved to the point where he can quickly perceive the emotional changes of the election, he is shocked that something is wrong, this is outside, not to mention that the mountain wind has not left, even if he leaves, someone will come in at any time.

He didn't dare to tease her any more, didn't even dare to give her a look, and hurriedly turned his head away.

Shanfeng didn't know the many twists and turns, so he believed it to be true. That night, he used this method of slow cooking to boil water for drinking, but he didn't expect it to become a habit afterwards.

..

When the tiger roared, it happened to see the mountain wind coming out.

The door of the earth house was open, and the situation inside could be seen clearly at a glance. Seeing that everyone had finished leaving, he could only choose to accompany the priest inside. Hu Xiao hurried in, and then told Shen Nong what Songshan had told him.

Shen Nong tapped the wooden table with his fingertips, making a regular "da da da" sound.

As Hu Xiao said, the recruitment plan he had just made with the priests of the various tribes would be shelved.

It has to be said that the battle between the cannibals and the Yanbu will affect the Wooden Tribe anyway.

They cannot be alone in this battle.

Shen Nong flexed his knuckles and asked Hu Xiao, "Did the cannibals and the Ministry of Salt come to look for me during my absence?"

Hu Xiao nodded, "The Ministry of Salt came to look for it, but they still said something that didn't listen to them, so they wouldn't exchange salt for our tribe."

"Haven't the cannibals come here once?" Shen Nong confirmed.

Hu Xiao's answer was still, "No."

Shen Nong frowned slightly, unable to guess what the cannibals wanted to do.The Ministry of Salt has always only dared to speak to them, but did not dare to take actual actions. To put it bluntly, they were still not sure that they could beat them.

The cannibal's extraordinarily gentle attitude towards them is probably one of the reasons why the Yanbu is afraid.

Unknowingly, they have formed a delicate triangular balance.

It's just that compared to any other tribe, the Mu tribe is more like a paradise without many disturbances.

Shen Nong drew a triangle on the table with his fingertips. After thinking for a long time, he finally made up his mind.

To develop, the present precarious balance must be disturbed.

The cannibals are preparing to rob Yanshan from the Salt Tribe in three days, and the orcs from the Yu Tribe will return to the Wood Tribe to deliver things two days later.

Shen Nong calculated the time difference, and prepared to bring the cannibals and Yanbu together.

After thinking about the rough plan, Shen Nong called the two captains of the production team and the guard team.

The guards practice ballista launches and trebuchets every day in the open space. Although they can't say they're hitting every shot right now, they're more than a little bit more accurate than they were at the beginning.

Shen Nong asked the guards to intensify their training in the next two days, and told Yang Lei to keep an eye on them, and he would also watch the training situation.

After Yang Lei left, Shi Xia came.

Shen Nong asked about the production of ballistas and wooden arrows, and how many spares the tribe had. After getting an accurate answer, he felt that ballistas were enough, but there were still a few wooden arrows.He asked Shi Xia to put down other things at hand first, and lead the production team to prepare more wooden arrows.

Shi Xia nodded in response, but did not leave.

Ever since Shi Xia came in, Shen Nong saw that Shi Xia was holding an unknown object wrapped in animal skin in his hand, and he hadn't put it down for a while, and it looked very precious.

He guessed that Shi Xia had something to talk to him, so he took the initiative to ask: "What is it in your hand, you keep holding it, and you can't bear to put it down for a moment."

Shi Xia, who had never laughed very much, couldn't help but smile when she heard Shen Nong's inquiry. She walked to the wooden table and just raised her arm to put something on it, but her wrist was blocked by a strong force halfway.

The muscles in Ze's arms are tight, and the blue veins on the back of his hands are protruding, all of which show his strong strength.

Shi Xia endured the pain from her wrist, and put the thing in her hand into the other hand that was stretched out to her.

After taking the things, Ze then let go of Shi Xia's wrist.He opened it to check, it was a strange looking piece of wood, and he handed it to Shen Nong after seeing that there was no danger.

The conflict between Shi Xia and Ze came and went quickly. Shen Nong didn't react at first, but when he did, Ze had already let go of each other and checked things quickly.

I don't know why I suddenly became so vigilant.

When Shen Nong saw what the animal skin was wrapped in, he didn't bother to ask about the changes. He happily picked up the animal skin, fiddled with it back and forth, and asked Shi Xia, "You made a crossbow!"

When making ballista, Shen Nong mentioned this to Shi Xia, but they didn't say much.Because he himself is not very clear about the specific structure, he only knows that it has similarities with the ballista.

He didn't expect that Shi Xia actually made a crossbow!

Shi Xia moved his wrist without changing his face, trying to relieve the pain, but the excitement in his tone could not be concealed, "This is the closest to the crossbow you mentioned, priest, give it a try."

This is the finished product after she spent a lot of painstaking efforts and countless times of improvement. Shixia can't wait to get a deep evaluation.

Shen Nong also wanted to test the power of the ballista quickly. The three of them came to the open space where the guards usually practice shooting ballistas.

The large wooden arrow pierced through the air and whizzed past, and there was a muffled sound in the distance.

The trained orcs stopped after seeing Shen Nong, "Priest."

Shen Nong waved his hand, "Leave me alone, you practice yours."

Then he brought Shi Xia and Ze towards the mountain.

The crossbow made by Shi Xia is moderate in size, and ten suitable wooden arrows are also prepared.

The crossbow has a crossbow arm and a crossbow. The crossbow is the core. It has a watch mountain, a hanging knife, a hook heart, and keys on both sides that integrate all parts. This part of Shixia is made of giant trees.Shen Nong pulled Wangshan upwards, the lifting force of the teeth brought up the hook heart, making its lower teeth stuck in the notch of the hanging knife, and placed the wooden arrow in the arrow groove of the crossbow arm.

He recalled the general method of crossbow aiming that he read in the book, tilted the arm of the crossbow upwards to adjust the position, and used Wangshan to aim at the tree trunk 50 meters away from the line of sight, when the target, the wooden arrow and the three points of Wangshan were in line , pull the hanging knife, launch.

"Whoosh-"

"boom--"

After the two different voices were heard, Shen Nong moved his numb arm lightly in the dark, and ran forward to check.

Shen Dong's shooting accuracy was good, and the huge impact force made the wooden arrow penetrate into the tree three-pointed into the tree trunk.

If the wooden arrow is sheathed with an iron arrow, it will be more powerful.

Shen Nong was very satisfied with the results of the final test of the crossbow, but he couldn't use it after three days, and the time was too short to produce enough.

The most urgent task for the production team is to prepare more wooden arrows for ballistas.

As night fell, the orc warriors of the Wood Tribe hunting team entered the dark moonlit night, scattered in the vast forest, and took the words of the priest to the seven tribes.

Shen Nong wanted the seven tribes to fish in troubled waters and save their lives in the battle between the cannibals and the Yan tribe three days later.

Don't be afraid of the cannibals or the Yan Ministry's retaliation afterwards, the Wooden Tribe will make them no longer able to care about the various tribes.

Among the seven tribal chiefs who got the news, except for Song Shan who nodded in agreement, the other six reacted in the same way - silence.

However, after serious thinking in this silence, whether it was because the priests of the tribe were in the hands of the Wood tribe, or because they really believed that the Wood tribe had a way to prevent the cannibals and the Ministry of Salt from doing anything to their tribe, the six The patriarchs of the tribe finally chose to cooperate with the Wood tribe.

Instead of watching the tribe die as human shields, it is better to choose to trust the Mu tribe and take a gamble.

It was three days of suffering and despair, but because of the appearance of the wood tribe orcs, this despair was filled with an unspeakable hope.
