Jiulao rushed out of the house angrily, stood in the storm and blew a bone whistle hanging on his chest.
The sharp whistle tore through the rain curtain and alarmed the young and strong men in the village.
The thick men cursed loudly, wrapped animal skins around their waists, grabbed wooden spears and stone axes, and rushed out of the house in a menacing manner, quickly gathering in front of Mr. Jiu.
Four hundred and twenty-seven young and strong men, perhaps because they were exercising vigorously just now, their blood was boiling. After being caught in the rain, steam was rising from their heads.
Jiu Lao waved his hand and said loudly: "Leave a hundred cubs to guard the village. Everyone else, follow me!"
Something happened that left Chu Tian speechless. Perhaps because he couldn't count, the four hundred and twenty-seven men struggled for a while, and only eighty-nine men stayed. The others all followed Jiu Lao.
Among the more than three hundred men with fierce faces, there were seven or eight jackals and five or six green-skinned lizards about five feet long.
These big guys followed closely around the tallest middle-aged men, walking quickly forward with "bah bah bah".
Crab Claws came close to Chu Tian and walked forward side by side with him. Looking at the jackals and green-skinned lizards, Crab Claw said with envy: "War beast companion... Unfortunately, I am too poor and cannot afford to raise one. In the future, I must get a war beast companion!"
Chutian asked Crab Claws a few questions and found out the uses of these jackals and green-skinned lizards.
Battle beast companion, the fighting partner that everyone in the village wants.
These jackals have a keen sense of smell, are fierce and cunning, and are helpers in hunting down prey.
The green-skinned lizard has highly venomous teeth, long life span, great strength, and its skin can change color with the environment. It is the most ferocious hunter in this large swamp.
The combat power of a green-skinned lizard can rival a dozen ordinary young warriors.
The village implements a system in which everything seized is returned to the public and kilometers are redistributed. Everyone goes out to hunt together, and all prey is distributed among the village.
But in their free time, after collective hunting, the strongest warriors in the village can go out to hunt alone, and they can get half of the prey as private property.
Only the strongest warriors have enough food to feed their war beast companions.
Crab Claw has no strength and is not qualified to go out alone. The food he is allocated is only enough to feed himself and two strong women.
So he said he was very poor and couldn't afford his war beast companions.
As he spoke, Crab Claw suddenly looked at Mr. Mouse squatting on Chu Tian's shoulder and laughed: "Brother, Shan, your beast partner is not a mouse, right? Hey, although the silver mouse looks like It’s quite beautiful!”
Lord Mouse raised his head proudly, too lazy to pay attention to this rough guy.
Chu Tian smiled and gently touched Master Shu's tail: "He is Master Shu, my elder, not a partner."
Crab Claw was stunned. He stared at Master Mouse blankly and shook his head vigorously. How could a mouse be Chu Tian's elder? That's impossible, right
A group of people left the village in chaos and slid into the swamp on dozens of rafts.
The sky was gray, the water was gray, and in the storm, Chu Tian didn't know which direction the raft was heading. In short, only a quarter of an hour later, a small dirt bag about the size of an acre appeared in front of us.
There are a few lonely small trees growing on the small soil bag, and the other plants are only weeds.
There were about twenty rafts resting on the small earth bag, and there were about three hundred strong men either crowded on the earth bag, or standing on the rafts jumping eagerly and roaring loudly.
There were seven or eight other men lying on the ground in various directions, making low-pitched moans.
With sharp eyes, Chu Tian saw from a distance that these men had a lot of external injuries, which looked like penetrating wounds caused by wooden spears.
The arms and calves of several of them were bent at weird angles, and their bones were clearly broken. The perpetrators were not very merciful. The broken parts of several men's arms were in the wrong shape and should have been comminuted fractures.
There is a small cave in the middle of the small earth bag. Several men covered in mud are drilling in and out of the cave, constantly delivering small baskets of hot copper ore. Every time a small basket of fire copper ore is delivered, the strong men around will burst into cheerful laughter.
There was still more than a hundred feet away from the small dirt bag, and Old Jiu had already screamed: "Old Fishtail! We are both descendants of the God of Fire, and you actually came to rob our village!"
The big men who were cheering on the little soil bag turned around at the same time, holding wooden spears and stone axes tightly, staring at this side fiercely.
An old man who was about the same age as Mr. Jiu and whose face was full of wrinkles walked out slowly. He held a piece of hot copper ore the size of a human head tightly in his hands and suddenly raised it above his head.
Old Fishtail looked at this side and screamed: "Old Jiumao, this is the territory of our village. The things here are treasures given to us by the ancestral gods, but you discovered them first."
Old Fishtail shouted loudly: "Your village is shameless. You used our treasure to exchange for good wine with other villages! This is our treasure! It has nothing to do with you!"
The raft was quickly approaching the small earth bag, and the old eagle said sternly: "My ancestors, this is the territory of our village. My grandmother, when she was pregnant with my father, came here to collect grass seeds, and it was here that I was born. Dad!"
Beating his chest hard, Mr. Jiu shouted loudly: "So, from my father's time, this is the territory of our village!"
Old Yu Tail showed no signs of weakness and roared: "Fart, your father was born here? But my grandfather was conceived here! My great-grandfather and great-grandmother had my grandfather while they were digging cassava here!" "
Old Fishtail hit his forehead hard with the hot copper ore, and a stream of blood flowed down his cheek: "So, this is our village's territory. It has been our village's territory since my grandfather's time!"
The two old guys were panting and staring at each other!
This small dirt bag is located exactly in the middle of the two villages. Many of their elders have hunted and gathered here.
Before, this little earth bag only produced some grass seeds and some cassava, and everyone could live in peace. However, the things produced by this small earth bag could only feed two or three people, and no one valued it very much.
But this time, a vein of fire copper was found on the earth bag, which made the earth bag valuable.
Fire copper veins can not only be exchanged for good wine, but also sharp metal weapons!
Metal weapons are treasures in this vast swamp, and they are the strongest source of confidence for a village. As long as a village has three or five more metal weapons, its overall combat effectiveness can be increased by at least 10%!
Old Jiu and Old Yuwei stared at each other fiercely, and their auras became as fierce as those old jackals.
When it comes to the development of the village, they will never be polite or friendly!
