Of course, this is also the first time he has encountered an invasive species/humanoid group that can communicate normally; before this, almost all of them were crazy and violent or inherently malicious, or hunted driven by instinct, or were unconscious. This will cause large-scale regional pollution and biological distortion.
Although Jiang Tian wants to eliminate them, it is only a matter of fingers; but there is no guarantee that there will be no fish that slip through the net and hide in the mountains and forests. There is not much time to stay and fight guerrillas with these remaining children of the forest in this dangerous terrain of red mountains, clear waters and ninety-eight bends.
In addition, there are some forest people who may be scattered in this area, or animal herders, druids and the like who have escaped and hidden in the mountains; they also need to rely on the sprout tribe as the surrenderers for negotiation or Reinforce; or carry out targeted strikes and eradication.
On the other hand, these ethnic groups whose bloodline has been alienated and distorted by the Black Forest are also important research samples, not to mention that the vast majority of them are female. This means that it is possible for them to directly naturalize and integrate into the Tang Dynasty, and pass on their talents and bloodline characteristics.
Because according to records, the forest tribe, which is dominated by matrilineal clans, will regularly actively mate with normal people outside the black forest in order to prevent the population from degenerating and deteriorating; and in the surrounding areas of the black forest, a group called the Midsummer Night is formed. Special traditions and secret gathering rituals of dreams.
In addition, you can also use this conquered small ethnic group as an opportunity to study the corresponding language, customs, historical origins and origins; explore specific strengths and abilities; and even potential weaknesses and exploitable values; and gain from this Knowledge about other homologous and heterogeneous species.
Therefore, from the moment they surrendered, they naturally became the valuable property of Xijingli Academy and part of the subsequent research objects. Therefore, in order to avoid subsequent troubles and disputes, Jiang Tian later gave them new identities and definitions in front of his subordinates:
"These are the mountain spirits I have conquered. They are the remnants of mountain ghosts, mountain gods, and earth spirits in ancient times. They are naturally friendly to plants and trees, and are good at medicinal preparations. They have the ability to see through the deep holes, and they can also trace their traces. It's just because of the changes in the celestial phenomena. It’s just reappeared, so it’s still a bit wild and ignorant.”
However, after Jiang Tian finished saying this, he saw that the eyes of all his subordinates had changed. Looking at these Mori people with strangely painted bodies and faces, wearing animal clothes that were so flat that it was almost impossible to see their specific gender characteristics, they looked like... Seeing some rare thing made them tremble even more.
In a sense, the twenty-odd Mori people in front of them are all similar to a one-time blood tax. Except for the old and weak of the Chuya tribe, all the females of the right age are handed over; just in exchange for them staying in the same place to reproduce. qualification; because the spirituality of the remaining altar cannot withstand another move.
And according to what the matriarch of the Chuya tribe claimed, it was unthinkable for them to stay where they were. Because the ability of the Chuya Tribe to influence and stimulate the growth of vegetation and cultivate herbal formulas on a daily basis will be severely weakened and degraded after leaving the shroud and influence of the altar.
When there were differences with the other surviving tribes, the Chuya tribe, which was the weakest, was directly deprived of several remaining fragments of the altar. When Jiang Tian led his troops to raid Wenling Town, the fragments captured by accident were buried in the roots. The stone tip in the middle is a fragment of a corner of the altar.
Therefore, for a long period of time in the future, they can only be regarded as a special population that is closely observed and protected; they are kept in captivity/restricted in disguised form within the Wuyi Mountain area. As a kind of gesture, Jiang Tian left behind stone spirits that blocked the mountain road and enough grain to last for a long time.
Of course, for the current Jiang Tian, hunting common aliens can no longer increase the energy reserve in the vision panel; but this time, he killed the newly appeared animal herders, as well as the suspected druids and their births After the creation, it obviously grew a lot.
Therefore, the next step is to round up and hunt the foreign visitors who may be scattered in the Wuyi Mountains under the guidance of these surrendered forest people. As an intelligent group from another world, they are destined to be severely punished from the moment they harm the local people.
As the Chuya tribe, it was another example that Jiang Tian wanted to set up deliberately; a sample of the humanoid ethnic group that could be tamed and naturalized by the Tang Dynasty. Just like the many foreign races that were conquered and destroyed by the Tang Dynasty in history, and then naturalized due to changing customs, they disappeared in the long river of history.
In a sense, what does an ethnic group that is naturally friendly to vegetation and can promote and influence various crops mean to the traditional agricultural feudal empire of the Tang Dynasty in China? Just improving varieties and increasing yields, the potential value is beyond doubt.
The only regret is that as one of the tribes that have been active in the Black Forest for a long time, except for a few days when they come to the edge of the forest, they are isolated from the outside world most of the time. There is not much about the specific era in the inheritance of the Chuya Tribe. , or the impression of the power of neighboring countries.
In other words, the forest people generally have a low level of civilization and live in some kind of matrilineal clan society; therefore, their knowledge of the outside world is limited to the settlements on the edge of the forest, with very limited short-term contact and exchange of products. At most, I know a little bit about the Hessian Territory and have heard about the Resurrection Empire in the south.
Despite this, Jiang Tian still obtained several key points from the few words; for example, these Mori people may have come from a misplaced time and space, hundreds of years ago in the time and space of the Western Continent; , an era that has not yet been divided again.
At that time, the first wave of mutations caused by the change in the celestial sphere not only seriously disrupted the structure of the Western Continent, turning many feudal territories into deserted islands, but also led to the rise of Rome and the Aegean Islands. As a boundary, it split into two parts: east and west.
As the last mysterious refuge, under the continued erosion and persecution of the church, various local heresies and remnants of ancient beliefs hid in the Black Forest. As a result, the various ethnic groups born and catalyzed once again began to spread on a large scale. Appeared on the historical stage of the Western Continent.
On the other hand, it was relatively simple for Jiang Tian to re-interrogate the captured twighorn skinmen/orcs through the intermediaries and translators of these sentient beings. He also learned the events and inside information that had happened in the past few months. However, there was both good news and obviously bad news.
The good news is that although Wuyi Mountain is known as the 19th Little Cave of Taoism, it is too remote. Therefore, except for the temporary occupation of Wenling Town and a few mines, what they can create The damage and impact are quite limited.
But the bad news is that when the altar came to this world, the impact and influence of some kind of energy spilled out from the Honkai Impact. This resulted in a high probability of mutation of the beasts and vegetation in the mountains and forests, and also provided an extremely powerful environment for the animal herders and the Tree Heart Clan. Rich objects to tame and manipulate.
Therefore, after a few months, the specific activity scope of these remaining ethnic groups has probably spread to states and counties outside the mountains. For example, there are likely to be similar traces hidden behind the several beast tides that Chong'an County has encountered before, as well as the tiger disaster in Pucheng County.
After all, even if there are different degrees of distortion; herbivores at the bottom of the food chain and carnivores at the top of the food chain are not so easy to get together. Not to mention that tigers, which have always been solitary and have a strong sense of territoriality, will actually start to move in groups.
What's more, these beast herders and the Tree Heart Clan can easily transform into animal forms for a short period of time, or become one with the tree; hiding behind the scenes to manipulate various events, they are even more hidden and difficult to distinguish. Therefore, without the cooperation of these Mori people from the Chuya tribe, it would be really difficult to find out.
However, the response and attention from the imperial court far exceeded Jiang Tian's intentions. According to the notice issued directly by the political affairs hall, he did not need to continue south to the two ridges (Lingdong and Lingxi); he was ordered to stay on Fujian Road and tame this mountain spirit for the use of the imperial court.
Moreover, it is allowed to use the manpower and material resources of the Thirteen Prefectures of Fujian Road to help achieve such a goal. Therefore, throughout the next winter, Jiang Tian had no chance to take action; he could only sit in Jianyang City, Jianzhou, allocate manpower and mobilize troops to recover the abandoned mines.
This also sent many new alien living bodies and models to the capital. For example, the gargoyles that live in underground caves and mines, like the dwarf ghosts with lizard heads that walk upright, and the little horned monsters that make barking sounds like dogs, seem to have adapted to the environment of the mines and settled down.
There is even a giant earthworm as thick as a pillar, a cave worm that is good at digging holes in the ground and ambush for prey. In the cities, villages and towns on Fujian Road, the same situation was not allowed; many people's livestock had mutated mutations, causing a series of casualties.
For example, an old dog that grew a tumor-like head in a short period of time and spit out corrosive acid; a big rooster that overnight became full of fangs and sharp claws, tearing apart hens in the same cage; an old buffalo that plowed the land. Instead of eating grass, they ate all the domestic ducks and chickens overnight.
There are also small bats that originally lived under the eaves of abandoned towers and abandoned houses to hunt insects. They have gradually become as big as a plate or a basin. They follow the wind at night to suck the body fluids of cattle, horses, and large animals, and even penetrate into the body cavities of dead large animals. Devouring entrails and hatching offspring. It can be said that all the demons were dancing wildly for a while.
However, as long as the root causes of these changes are understood, it is actually not difficult to deal with and solve them with the manpower and material resources at the disposal of local officials; as the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. Compared with Jiangdong and Zhejiang, where life is prosperous and privileged, Fujian has always had strong folk customs and is rich in righteous followers and mountain soldiers.
Especially after treating it as some kind of special beast and clearly stating its price on the notices posted by local governments. Therefore, the manpower sent by Jiang Tian served more as a central guide and to calm people's hearts. Only with the unanimous request of the three envoys of the Fujian Road Department did he take action once.
That is, heading to the Tingzhou/Jiaoling Ancient Road, a thoroughfare between Fujian Road and Lingdong Road; it removed the huge rocks that had blocked half of the valley due to landslides and collapse. And this section of the Tingzhou/Jiaoling Ancient Road, which is a dangerous and narrow part, was widened and paved.
