The Survival of the Wild Tribe

The Kru Lion tribe is very far away from the Tiger Lion tribe, and they only know a general direction, so it was already a month later when Luo Zhen came to the territory near the Kru Lion tribe.

During this time they encountered many beast attacks. Even Lu Zhan had some injuries on his body, and Luo Zhen and Achun, who had been well protected by the orc warriors, remained unscathed.

Along the way, Luo Zhen collected a lot of seeds and picked two big bags of wild peaches two days ago, but the wild peaches are not the same as the artificially cultivated peaches that Luo Zhen had eaten before. The taste is not so sweet and the flesh is not so sweet. It is hard and has a sour taste, and the taste is not very good when eaten directly.

Luo Zhen usually cooks them directly as vegetables before eating, which can reduce a bit of the sourness of the wild peach itself, and can also cook the hard flesh to make it softer and easier to eat. And when it is boiled in stew together, the peach meat filled with gravy will be more delicious. Even Lu Zhan, who doesn't like wild vegetables, can't help but eat a lot.

Everyone found a cave in a hidden mountain near the edge of the Kru Lion tribe's territory. There was a tall grass growing outside the cave, and the entrance of the cave was not seen outside, and they didn't know how Lu Zhan discovered this place.

Even though the entrance of the cave is not big, there is a lot of space inside. After walking a distance of more than ten meters, the space is several times wider. Luo Zhen also found some animal hair and bones in the cave, which are not new. , Obviously even if there were beasts living here before, they would have already left, and it seems that this cave has not yet welcomed its new owner.

Taking out the two lanterns that had been carefully raised all the way, when they reached a dark place, the lanterns quickly emitted a pale yellow light, illuminating the entire space in the cave.

The height of the cave does not make the deerhorn horses feel bored. In addition, the rocks near the cave wall and cool water droplets drip down, forming a small puddle on the ground, which is better than being burned by the violent sun outside. It is much cooler, except when going out for food, the staghorn horses are more willing to stay in this spacious cave to escape the heat.

Not far from the entrance of the cave, there is a river that is smaller than the Heihe River. The river surrounds the entire Kru Lions tribe and is an important water source for the Kru Lions tribe. The place where Luo Zhen and them are located is just upstream of the Kru Lion tribe There are still two mountains between the Kru Lion tribe and the place where they are now. There are no traces of orc warriors from hunting in the vicinity, so there is no need to worry about being discovered.

Shanqi went to the river to fetch water and observe the situation near the cave by the way. Lu Zhan took A Qing to the Klushi tribe to find out. There are now only a few staghorn horses in the cave besides Luo Zhen and A Chun.

Put the lamp grass, Luo Zhen unloaded the large luggage from the antler horse, so that the antler horse who had been carrying heavy luggage for a day could relax, and then picked up the broom made of miscanthus on the road and simply moved the cave. The ground was cleared.

The fluff on the miscanthus head is too soft to be used to clean up such uneven places, so the broom uses the soft roots of the front part. This miscanthus has a medicinal function, but Luo Zhen can use them to make The seeds of the dye are more interested. Now their tribe can only dye a color of indigo, which is dyed with Polygonum vulgare, just because most of the cloth that can be made in the tribe is linen, and only a small amount is used. Cloth made of wool, so the demand for dyes is not large.

When these silkworm babies are grown and the first batch of silk is made, it is estimated that dyes of various colors will be used. So along the way, even if there are some plants that cannot be eaten, as long as they can be used as dyes, Luo Zhen They will also be collected directly first, and will be planted on a large scale after returning to the Sun Tribe.

"We should stay here for a while and live in this cave for the time being."

"Yeah." A Chun responded and came to help clean up. During this time of getting along, A Chun has already done things that he didn't understand before.

The luggage is placed aside in an orderly manner according to the degree of preciousness. This is to prevent unexpected accidents. When there is no time to organize the luggage, the most valuable items can be brought on, so as not to cause serious losses.

After cleaning up the messy gravel and bones on the ground, Ah Chun took a bone knife to cut some branches of weeds outside the cave and made a few beds. Put soft animal skins on the weeds to make a comfortable bed. Up.

Because there was a dripping stalactite next to the cave wall, Luo Zhen directly took a few larger-capacity bamboo tubes and placed them on the ground to catch water, so that even if you don't go to the river, you don't have to worry about running out of water.

I made a simple firepit with broken stones nearby, put hay branches inside, made a fire with flint, and put the pottery pot on the fire. The prey I hunted last night has not been eaten yet, Luo Zhen directly Stuffed half of the pot of simply smoked dried meat, then filled it with water and simmered it slowly so that it could be eaten directly when Lu Zhan and the others came back.

Lu Zhan and the others didn't leave for long. They came back after Luo Zhen and Achun sorted out the cave briefly. When they came in, they couldn't help but froze when they saw that the cave was completely changed and clean and tidy.

"Chief Zhan, how's it going?" Achun hurriedly greeted them when they came back. They wandered around in the wild for a long time because they didn't know the way. Achun was also annoyed that she could not give directions, so she was naturally embarrassed. Urge everyone.

But now that he finally arrived at the destination, Ah Chun couldn't control his anxious mood. At the speed of Luka and the others, even if he stayed in the Tiger Lion tribe and looked for a period of time, I was afraid he would return earlier than them. Coming from the tribe, I don't know if he will embarrass that person. Ah Chun remembered that when she left the Klushi tribe and went to the Tiger and Lion tribe, the condition of that person was not much better than her own.

"We didn't enter the tribe, we just made a circle around the periphery." A Qing patted A Chun's shoulder comfortingly, and motioned to the other party not to worry.

Ah Chun nodded, took the water sac in Shanqi's hand who came in behind, and went to the fire to pour water and make tea for a few people.

The tea leaves are pine needles picked from a nearby cedar tree. Since Ah Chun tasted the taste of tea, now she likes to make tea with any boiled water. On the way, she also learns how to make animal skins from A Qing. With the backpack, Luo Zhen taught her to identify which plant leaves or flowers can be used to soak in water. The animal skin backpack that A Chun carried on his back was filled with various dried leaves and dried flowers. .

Of course, everyone except Lu Zhan resolutely refused to drink a small amount of red salt into the tea.

Now Achun's skill in making tea is not much lower than Luo Zhen's. In order to help a little bit, in addition to making tea, Achun also actively joins Luo Zhen for three meals a day, occasionally Luo Zhen. Zhen will also hand over the cooking task directly to Ah Chun.

A few animal skins were laid on the side of the fire to facilitate a few people to sit down. Luo Zhen put a small group of flame ants into the grass outside the cave to guard, and then came back and sat down next to Lu Zhan.

A Qing glanced at Lu Zhan's face secretly, instead of rushing to tell others about the outside affairs as usual, but instead saw that the stew in the pot was almost cooked, so she secretly filled herself with a bowl to fill her stomach. .

"Did you meet something?" Luo Zhen looked at the two of them, and knew that they were not just wandering around the Klu Lion tribe.

"I saw Black Hunter."

"Black Hunt?" Luo Zhen searched in his mind, and finally remembered the appearance of that person in his memory. When he first came to this world, there were not many people in the Black Panther tribe, and the black hunt was one of. If he remembers correctly, the relationship between Black Hunter and Lu Zhan is pretty good, but then Black Hunter left with the people of the Black Panther tribe, and there is no news of him again, and other people rarely mention the previous things. It was normal that Luo Zhen didn't react at once.

"The black panther tribe's residence should not be far from the Klu Lion tribe? Isn't it normal for black hunting here?" Luo Zhen said in a puzzled manner.

Lu Zhan shook his head, "It's not the reason." Lu Zhan paused, "Black Hunters are building a house for the Klu Lion tribe."

It’s a bit wrong to say that it’s a house. Instead, it’s more like the palace Luo Zhen once told them. It’s made of huge stones and covers an area much larger and taller than the house where their Riyao tribe lives. At first glance, it looks a bit spectacular.

"Stone house?" Luo Zhen frowned. When he saw the Tiger-lion tribe before, Luo Zhen knew that the tribes on the Changfeng Mountain side had better architectural skills than those living in animal hide tents. The civilization level of the tribe that relies on Rumao drinking blood to survive is much higher, but I didn't expect that the Klui Lion tribe could have begun to build tall stone palaces.

Even with the construction technology of the Sun Tribe, it is not so easy to build a palace.

"The palace is almost built, but there are many collapsed houses near the palace, which should be the failures made before. In addition to the black hunt, I have also seen several orcs from the black panther tribe." Lu Zhan pursed his lips, "They are also carrying stones to the palace."

"What do you mean? Are the people from the Black Panther tribe doing hard work for the Klu Lion tribe?"

Lu Zhan shook his head, "The specifics are not clear, I will go out tomorrow to see first."

"Chief Zhan, can you go and see him?" Achun interjected nervously.

"The caves you mentioned are behind the palace and are blocked by the entire Klu Lion tribe. It is not easy to get close." Lu Zhan looked at Ah Chun, seeing that the light in his eyes became dimmed with his words. But don’t worry, we have just arrived here, and we will find a way to see the cave where the mermaid is detained after we find out the situation.”

And he is very jealous of what Luca wants to do. Maybe it was only the anger of the other party torturing the poor girl before, but now even if there is no business with Achun, since Luca has targeted the mermaid, Lu Zhan is impossible. If he sits idly and doesn't figure out the purpose behind Luca, it's like a fishbone stuck in his throat.
