These hunters should be the former neighbor tribe of the Five Ghosts.

Wearing clothes made of fur or plant grass leaves, with black patterns and patterns on their bodies, holding spear sticks or stone swords and axes, running through the swamp meadows, with very flexible movements

Faced with Xu Chen and others who suddenly appeared, these hunters were also very frightened, in addition to being very panicked and angry, especially when they saw several Wu Ghost tribe members in the team covered in ugly faces, they were even more unwilling to communicate, and a conflict broke out between the two sides.

However, facing the fully armed Ba hunter and super warriors like Lei, the conflict ended soon. After several casualties on the other side, the rest fled in scattered areas, and most of them fled into the depths of the meadows and swamps. Xu Chen was worried that there would be an accident in chasing, so he ordered the chasing to stop and the injured hunters were caught for interrogation.

These people are similar to the language of the Five Ghosts. Although they have not been in contact for more than a hundred years, many languages ​​have undergone considerable changes, but after all, they have the same roots and the same origin, and there is no big problem in communicating with each other with paintings.

Therefore, after this interrogation, Xu Chen roughly figured out the situation of several tribes living near this big lake.

The largest tribe here is called the Tsuke tribe, with a population of five to six hundred, which is similar to the Wu tribe of the Gonghuo tribe. It is guarded by the Great Witch, and there are also six small and medium-sized tribes attached to the Tsuke tribe, with a population ranging from dozens to two to three hundred.

The tribe I met today is called the Ming clan, with more than 100 people. In the Tsucha tribe, it is a lower-middle tribe, and lives in the mountains not far away.

However, when Xu Chen and others asked to lead the way to the tribe, these injured hunters were unwilling to do so. Two of them even broke free and ran away. The hunters of the captive army caught up and wanted to catch them back. But these guys ran desperately into the depths of the meadow, almost letting the chased hunters fall into the mud, and they could only kill them with bows and arrows.

After further interrogation, Xu Chen learned that these tribes were worried that the Five Ghosts would come back and spread the curse to their tribes, so they would rather die than surrender than lead the way.

After thinking about it, Xu Chen decided to give up looking for the Ming clan for the time being, but left the meadow and swamp first, and found a safe place to stay.

The environment here is completely different from the areas where the Yugong tribe live, and it is very unfamiliar to their teams that are used to fighting in the mountains and forests and canyons.

Especially since this Thorn Clan is not very powerful, it is not easy to act rashly before it is cleared.

This time he brought only fifty people, including thirty people brought from the Ba tribe, and twenty people brought by Lei.

Moreover, the continuous battle and hunting along the way have severe damage to weapons and cannot be made and supplemented in time, resulting in a large gap in arrows. Many wooden bows have also begun to have problems due to frequent use, and their power has been greatly weakened.

Therefore, it is no longer suitable for large-scale combat.

In addition, it is far away from the Gonghuo Basin and the Five Ghosts tribe, and there is no help nearby. Facing a powerful tribe of five or six hundred people, the tower-stealing strategy that has long been familiar with is basically impossible to implement.

Even if he conquered the Ming clan, Xu Chen was not sure that he could continue to take down the Shicha clan. Instead, it would stimulate the nearby tribes to be vigilant and cause more serious hostility.

Therefore, Xu Chen asked a few injured prisoners to leave the area and temporarily stationed and repaired it away from the swamp of this mudflat.

It took eight days to get here from the Five Ghosts, and most of the time I spent traveling, especially the area of ​​the Sushu Forest, which was as terrifying as a nightmare. Now a group of people are exhausted and need a good rest.

Drill wood to make fire, hunt, and cook.

After exploring life in the wild for a period of time, a group of hunters all had rich experience, and each group performed their own duties. Lei led a group of hunters with skilled bows and arrows to be responsible for hunting, Mo led a group of people to be responsible for the alert station, and the captive army of the Gonghuo tribe was mainly responsible for making fires and cooking.

Several injured captives of the Ming tribe were simply bandaged and tied up their hands and feet and threw them on the ground, watching the strange and strange people brought by the five ghost tribes to work together.

And the more I look at it, the more I feel scared.

These people have never seen clothes and weapons and equipment, and they are well-trained and divided into labor. Some people direct and some people work, but they are busy but not messy. Especially when they see two teenagers fucking a wooden stick and making a fire after a few times, they are all frightened and screaming.

In addition, the things brought by these people are all items that they have never seen before, such as rattan baskets, pottery, flags, horns, and maps, which are unprecedented.

These people were not only able to make fire out of thin air, but also hunted very fast. Not long after the bonfire was lit, the teams who went out to hunt returned one after another, bringing back seven or eight wild beasts of all sizes. Then some people broke their stomachs, some people cut some wooden sticks and set up grills on the bonfire, putting a few wild beasts on the wooden rack and starting to barbecue.

In addition, some people smashed some minced meat and bones and put them in a pot, added water to cook, and even put some strange things in it.

Soon, a strong aroma of barbecue and boiled meat spread out in the slightly empty woods.

This taste is full of unparalleled temptation.

Even the extremely terrified prisoners were seduced by this smell and forgot the pain and fear, and began to stare at the barbecue and the clay pot and swallow their saliva.

While cooking meat and barbecue, most hunters were not idle. They were still busy back and forth. Some built tents with wooden sticks, tree branches and animal skins, some were grinding stone spears, stone axes, some were sorting out vine baskets, some repairing bow and arrow weapons, and some were looking for materials to make arrows.

The scene seems chaotic but orderly, they each perform their own duties, and occasionally someone will fight or make a burst of laughter.

What puzzled the prisoners the most was that these hunters were not from the same tribe in terms of appearance and accent.

It consists of at least three or four different ethnic groups.

And it is not a family alliance tribe of the same origin.

In other words, this group of powerful and strange hunters should be composed of several different alliance tribes.

Where do they come from?

What is the relationship with the cursed Five Ghosts?

Why have you never heard of such a powerful tribal alliance?

They seem to be coming from the northwest.

Although I have heard of some tribes in the northwest direction, I have never heard of such powerful strength.

Under all kinds of horror and suspicion, as the food smell became more and more intense, the hunters working were chatting and laughing, gathering around the bonfire to start eating.

Some of them cut off the meat pieces from the grill with stone knives and bite them directly, and they were full of oil. Some of them took out pottery bowls and spoons from the vine basket, scoop out the fragrant meat and bone soup from the pottery pot and pottery pot and began to swallow.

After receiving Xu Chen's instructions, several hunters cut off a few pieces of barbecue and threw them in front of several prisoners. Several people immediately rushed to hold it in their hands and bite it.

At the entrance of the strong aroma of barbecue, they all seemed to have discovered a new world.

This piece of meat is not only very salty, but also has an extremely spicy aroma, which makes people feel refreshed.

Soon, several not-so-large beasts on the grill were eaten up, and the minced meat and bone soup were eaten and drunk. Some of the people began to clean up the pottery pots, bowls and spoons, while others continued to talk and joke and began to polish and repair weapons and build tents.

Xu Chen had enough food and drink, and asked someone to capture several injured prisoners who were still licking their fingers hard and continue to interrogate them.

At this time, the sun is already west and it will be dark for more than an hour.

Xu Chen did not expect to continue to have conflicts with the local tribe, so he decided to use normal ritual exchanges to see if he could have friendly contact with the Ming tribe.

This time, Xu Chen did not ask about the specific location of the Ming clan, but just explained his origin and purpose to them, hoping to get along peacefully with the local tribe and have friendly exchanges.

Therefore, he planned to give some gifts for several injured hunters to take back, and let them go back to the tribe to convey his meaning.

After flipping through the Five Ghosts, the prisoners were surprised and happy after understanding it. Finally, they carried a vine basket and helped each other leave.

Inside the basket is a small bag of salt crystals and a few pottery bowls given by Xu Chen, as well as a piece of cloth and a few animal skins that were hunted today.

The skins of winter are good things for all tribes, and the exquisite and magical pottery and linen are mysterious items that have never been seen before. As for salt crystals, they are definitely something blessed by gods for the Ming people. They have also found some salty salty soil, but have never seen this crystal clear salty ore.

Therefore, even though he was full of fear and hatred towards Xu Chen and others, Xu Chen's actions still made several Ming tribe members very excited, almost forgetting the pain and dangers in the wild. After leaving the mountains and forests, he stumbled and rolled straight for his tribe.

"His Majesty the Witch King, will it cause trouble if you let it go? Should you arrange someone to follow me?"

Lei sat next to Xu Chen, scraping several arrow shafts with a bone knife, asking slightly worriedly.

Xu Chen thought for a while and shook his head and said, "No, the terrain here is complicated and dangerous. You may not be able to come back after you follow it. Putting it back may bring some dangers. But this time we have gone too far, there is a shortage of weapons and equipment, an unfamiliar environment, and not enough food. Don't take the initiative to provoke a war. If they are willing to communicate, they can get in touch. This will enhance their understanding of each other. But if they are hostile, we should not have a fierce conflict with them. Remember, you must use your brain to fight and not act recklessly. Our goal is not to conquer, but to communicate!"

"Yes, I remember!" Lei nodded very seriously.

Lei has always been very convinced of Xu Chen's words.

If he was still the leader of the hunter of the Wu tribe, if he had encountered such a war before, he would have been very strong.
