The meeting was held in the form of a banquet.
Because everyone missed Jia Chao's craftsmanship, they rushed to Jia Chao's yard early before lunch.
Unexpectedly, they bumped into the first battle between Jia Chao and Xingyue as soon as they arrived. The group of people listened to Qiang Gen for a long time and became even hungrier.
Jia Chao simply set up a big pot in the yard and gave everyone a hot pot feast.
There was definitely no hot pot base. He put some salt and oil into the soup, and threw in some bamboo shoots, wild vegetables, mushrooms, etc., and it became the bottom of the pot.
He did not put the chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns he found from the Sweet Tree tribe, because these things are still scarce and need to be saved for seed.
Once you have the bottom of the pot, the next step is to prepare the ingredients.
Because everyone was hungry, Jia Chao didn't make things too complicated.
All food is meat, all kinds of animal meat and fish. Using the sword light condensed from Wan Jian Jue, you can easily make meat and fish fillets in batches.
The thickness is even and can be cooked by just boiling it!
The most important thing is that Jia Chao discovered that he could remove fish bones from fish fillets through Wan Jian Jue!
The fish meat after removing the fish bones is even more delicious than animal meat.
Suddenly the whole yard turned into a lively cooking scene.
It is no exaggeration to say that a dozen people can't eat as fast as Jia Chao can process the ingredients alone.
"Chief Achao, what are we going to do next?" Maoyu is the only one who can remain rational in the face of delicious food.
He knows better than most what has happened to the tribe recently, and he also knows that the peace at this moment is hard-won.
Jia Chao glanced at him, and then at everyone who stopped using their chopsticks to look at him.
"Before that, let me tell you what happened recently!"
So Jia Chao started from the beginning and recounted his recent grievances with the Black Lizard Tribe.
Ordinary people like Leguo and Shuoshi naturally had no idea of what had happened recently.
They only knew that the Black Lizard tribe attacked the tribe again, and then the people of the tribe were forced to move to the crater.
Who would have thought that the person coming was actually Gray Scale!
Listening to Jia Chao's story, sweat broke out on the foreheads of a group of people.
I don't know if it was because of the hot soup in the big pot, or because I felt scared.
As for the part about the stubborn stone turning into a stone statue, Jia Chao made it up again.
He said that the stubborn stone turned into a stone statue because he used a forbidden technique and asked the divine envoy to defeat the enemy with the help of his own body. Later, he suffered backlash.
No one has any doubts about this explanation. After all, there are too many weird abilities in this world.
After finally finishing the story, Jia Chao said:
“I’m going to let my tribe live in this crater, and we won’t go anywhere for at least ten years!
I want people outside to really believe that our Flame Stone Tribe has disappeared! "
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Before anyone could ask questions, Jia Chao continued:
"Of course we won't really live that kind of isolated life. All elemental warriors must be prepared. The next period of time will be the hardest for everyone!
We will start trade with other tribes and obtain some materials needed for tribe development through them.
So in the future, you all need to move around frequently, like liberal wanderers in the wilderness. "
Hearing this, Le Guo interrupted Jia Chao.
"Chief Achao, you mean to let the Spirit Speakers and Elemental Warriors go wandering, while all the ordinary people stay here waiting to be fed?"
Leguo's words made Bi Song and others unable to sit still.
"No, we ordinary people can also do things for the tribe!"
"That's right, don't we have a workshop? The things we make can be exchanged for animal meat and skins!"
"The tribesmen now rely on working in the workshops to make a living. If they are not allowed to work, how will they be allocated food in the future?"
While everyone was expressing their opinions, Maoyu yelled:
"Why fight? What's there to fight for? What can you do? How long will it take you to catch the fish we caught with Chief Achao that day?
Chief Achao says what to do, just listen! We can’t be tired of raising such a small number of people like you! "
After hearing what Mao Yu said, everyone suddenly fell silent.
This is indeed the case. In the middle of winter, three people went out and brought back enough fish to feed hundreds of people for several months. Who are they to blame?
At this time, Jia Chao waved his hand, "Everyone has misunderstood!" He then explained:
“I asked everyone not to go out so that the tribe could stay away from the war and recuperate!
I have never felt that ordinary people are useless. On the contrary, I feel that ordinary people are as important as spirit speakers!
Only when there are more people in a tribe can more spirit speakers and elemental warriors appear.
The workshop will not stop working. We will make more pottery, animal skin clothing, and other things in the future.
We are just responsible for taking them out for trading to obtain more useful resources.
So it’s not us who feed you, it’s you who feed us! "
Jia Chao looked at Bi Song and others and gave them an affirmative look.
After listening to these words, everyone finally understood what Jia Chao meant.
The crater is the rear area. Chief Achao and the elemental warriors are responsible for showing themselves outside, while the rear area is hidden and developing.
"But... Chief Achao, do we need to hide like this?" Le Guo asked.
"About this, my opinion is, yes!" Jia Chao pointed to the big pot in the middle of the crowd.
"If there is meat in the pot, someone will definitely come to snatch it! Our tribe's animal skin clothing, pottery, salt, and even the food that will appear in the future will all become reasons for others to attack us!
With our current strength, we cannot hold on to this pot, so we have to hide the pot and hide the meat! "
After hearing this, everyone looked at the cauldron in front of them and nodded thoughtfully.
"That's right! Even if we are attached to those big tribes, they will not guarantee the safety of our tribe!" Heye said angrily.
"They will just ask you endlessly for food, sweet trees, and animal skins. They will occasionally give you a chance to participate in a trial, and then send you away after giving you a rune stone.
When your tribe is killed by another tribe, they won't even help you take revenge! "
He Ye's words completely ignited the emotions of everyone present.
yes! To survive in this world, you can only play according to the rules of the game set by the big tribe.
Weak tribes have no right to survive.
The plan put forward by Chief Achao is indeed a good idea.
Ordinary tribesmen hide in the crater, break away from the rules, and develop independently.
The spirit whisperers and elemental warriors went outside to look for opportunities and exchange supplies.
The two complement each other and allow the tribe to grow at the minimum cost.
"In that case, why don't we join the Wilderness Liberals?" Sheep Boy asked.
