While the high priest was preparing the most important part for them, the person responsible for reporting the news came to the leader, suppressed his excited voice, and announced better news to everyone: "Chief, the person who went out to collect People have returned, and they have returned with the outsiders.
Do you know what they brought back besides the normal berries! ?
It's a beast, a beast of an entire tribe. A bloody beast colony.
Of course, this group of beasts is not as powerful as we imagined. It is not the leg of the giant beast we captured yesterday, nor is it the huge group of beasts that the magical man shot down with a spear. This is just a group of wandering animals. wild dogs, but just stray wild dogs are enough to bring new vitality to our tribe. "
The person who came to report the news looked very excited, but his speech was quite smart.
Regarding this good news, both the high priest and the leader who listened very carefully grasped the key: "So, how many wild dogs did they bring back?"
The person who reported the news happily told the number after taking inventory: "Inform the chief and the high priest that they have brought back a total of 11 wild dogs.
We had a head-on confrontation with this group of dogs, but that time we were outnumbered and they immediately ran away after briefly showing their presence.
At that time, we were far away from the people in the past, but we still detected their number.
Because of this quantity, it is a troublesome thing for us to send people to search for them, and it is also a troublesome thing to ignore them. There was a stalemate with them.
Now I really didn’t expect that these outsiders were only here for the third day, and everything took a huge turn for the better.
By the way, chief, I was too anxious just now and listened to what a group of children were chattering to me.
They told me that this group of outsiders also had a special way of mitigating the harm of picking black pine forest fruits. But this time, their group of children. This group of outsiders went to our picking area. After they came back, I looked at the fruits in the basket and found that there were about half a percent more fruits than before.
If it can really improve the efficiency of picking, then I think it will be more helpful to our tribe than exterminating that group of wild dogs. "
Originally, the great elder and leader heard that they had only eliminated a group of wild dogs, so they did not feel much surprise in terms of quantity and quality.
But the following news immediately piqued their interest.
Every year, the harvest time for the plants and berries they planted was the most painful time for their entire tribe.
Because of these berries. The maturity period is very long, but it cannot withstand the invasion and destruction of natural enemies.
If there are only one or two scattered fruits, those cunning birds and beasts will not enter a dangerous place like the black pine forest.
But they gathered the plants in the black pine forest together, moved them to one place, and planted them together, forming a large-scale fruit-rich area.
For foraging birds and wild beasts, this is the best place to supplement food.
After all, it is impossible for this plain to have scorching hot weather from two suns all its life.
Soon, after the harvest day has passed, the time will come when all the trees and shrubs in the mangroves wither, and the cold winter zone will not see the sun for a long week.
At that time, most animals would lie down in their holes to resist the cold and darkness.
The thick fat and sebum that it relies on for survival are all replenished by the abundant fruits of autumn.
So for humans, this group of beasts will be very crazy fighting for food with them during this period.
In order to grab a few more fruits from the mouths of these beasts, the children had to carry more berries back from the trees even if they were injured.
Every time this time comes, every child's body and hands are covered with wounds. Even if they are wild children, parents will feel distressed.
Today is the first collection day. The performance of these children may not be that exaggerated, and the adults who sent them out naturally did not have much worry in their hearts.
But after two days, the situation was not so optimistic.
Even the women and old men in the tribe may have to go into battle together to get back more rations.
But now these outsiders actually have ways to improve efficiency, does that mean that in the coming days? The damage on their side will be reduced a lot. With enough berries and grain, there is no need for them to go all out?
At this point, the leader and the priest whispered to each other, and the priest continued to perform the blood exchange ceremony for these warriors, while he followed the messenger to the square to see what the returnees had brought back this time.
In a short time, people had already gathered on three levels inside and three levels out. The leader and the messengers had rushed here as quickly as possible, but it still took a lot of effort to squeeze into the circle of people. among.
When they got to the crowd, everyone understood why so many people gathered here. It was because the children, his daughter, as the representative of this group of children, were demonstrating to these adults some kind of magic weapon they were wearing on their hands. gloves.
"Did you see that this glove is so big when I wear it? The other one on the side is for this warrior. Look! It has become so big. Let me ask you, do you feel crowded?"
The chief is very familiar with the person who cooperates with his daughter. Isn't this because he has found a future husband for his daughter?
The tallest among the warriors was raising his big hands in cooperation with his little daughter, showing special cooperation.
Seeing the excitement of his daughter's popularity, the leader stopped and did not want to disturb his daughter's current work.
Like other tribe members, he listened quietly to his daughter showing off to them the final results of their trip.
"See? All of us little kids
. Everyone has this pair of magic gloves.
Take another look. There are black needles on these fruits that were picked by the fog. "
When she said this, the little girl winked at the silly guy next to her.
As the follower of the little girl for many years, the tall man immediately understood what the little girl wanted to do next.
Without hesitation, he picked up the black needle and stabbed it into his gloved hand.
