Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food
Chapter 19 A faint sense of crisis
"Chief, while hunting today, we discovered members of the Mountain Tiger Tribe and the Spear Tribe hiding in the treetops, watching us. I've seen those two at the Spring Fair and I have a good impression of them. But they haven't made any moves."
"For fear of alerting the enemy, I signaled the hunters in the hunting team to pretend not to see anything and do what they should do." Shan said seriously.
Seeing Sang's puzzled expression, Cang explained to her, "There are only three tribes within the six sunsets of our area.
They are our Tianlang Tribe, Shanhu Tribe, and Longspear Tribe. Among them, Shanhu Tribe has the largest population and the best development.
Most importantly, the Mountain Tiger Tribe is the only one among our three tribes that has female hunters. This shows how powerful they are.
Our Sirius Tribe is second, and the Spear Tribe is the most decadent.
The Mountain Tiger Tribe, nestled high in the mountains, has been trained to climb and descend mountains since childhood, resulting in exceptionally strong leg muscles and ferocious speed. The Spear Tribe, however, uses spears for hunting, making their right arms exceptionally flexible and strong.
Because they are so far apart, there is no connection at all, and the three tribes all live independently."
Sang Tian had grasped the key point. Originally, there had been no interactions or conflicts between the two tribes, but now, people from the other two tribes had appeared together in the Tianlang Tribe's hunting grounds. How could this not make people think?
The atmosphere was very tense and everyone smelled conspiracy and danger.
Furthermore, the simultaneous appearance of the two forces could not rule out the possibility of an alliance, a situation far too precarious for the Sirius Tribe. Previously, the three parties had maintained a state of mutual checks and balances, with the triangle forming the most stable form. However, the weight was no longer in the middle.
"I order that when they officially reveal their intentions, everyone be on high alert and prepare for the worst possible invasion.
To avoid revealing our discovery, the gathering and hunting teams will proceed as normal tomorrow to store food. Shan and I will personally escort the gathering team tomorrow.
In addition, the hunting team that will rest tomorrow must guard the tribe strictly. If the enemy attacks... fiercely, you will make the decision on my behalf to give up the food immediately. As long as the people in the tribe are safe, it's fine.
The hunting team should be cautious and careful. If there is any danger, don't fight hard. I guess they are targeting us because their trap hunting methods have been too noisy and the harvests have been very rich recently. Their goal is the food stored in our tribe.
"When your life is in danger, retreat. Their goal is food, and as long as you are still alive, that is more important than food..."
Everyone present was on edge, unable to contain themselves.
Everyone clearly understood what the outcome would be if the leader's deduction was true. Fighting head-on would mean death, while retreating and handing over the food would also be a sure-shot death in this long snowy season...
Sang Tian's heart was pounding, and her palms were sweating. She felt a little anxious, her mouth dry as if frozen, and her heart was twisted with anxiety.
I never thought that the hunting method I was so proud of teaching them would bring devastating trouble to the tribe...
But to say I regret it is absolutely impossible.
"Everyone, listen to me. Everything I teach the tribe is for its continued growth. I also firmly believe that my knowledge and what I have learned will bring about earth-shaking changes to the tribe.
If you are not remembered today, you will be targeted one day.
It has been discovered at its nascent stage and must be strangled in the bud.
Because from now on, I won't just limit my sights to the Tianlang Tribe. There are also large cities with populations exceeding 10,000...
Then I want our Tianlang Tribe to develop into Tianlang City with a population of over 10,000, or even merge with other large cities to become a giant city with a population of over 100,000, 500,000, or even over a million...
Of course, our tribe alone couldn't possibly reach such a scale. So war isn't necessarily a bad thing. As long as we win, everyone in the other tribe will be ours. Then, through intermarriage and expansion of our territory, this cycle of development will eventually lead to our becoming an invincible force in this ancient wilderness.
There will definitely be war and bloodshed. I think everyone should be fully prepared from this moment on…”
Everyone was so shocked by what Sang Tian said that they were speechless. Their mouths felt like they were stuffed with candied haws... sobbing...
Everyone in the tribe was struggling to have enough to eat, but Sang Tian was actually thinking about expanding Tianlang into a big city, or even annexing a big city...
No one in these tribes has ever thought about it, nor dared to think about it. After all, it's too unrealistic and vague...
No one had ever seen Sang so sharp. She usually had a gentle smile on her face, but when she said these words, her whole temperament suddenly changed, as if she had become a different person, tough and strategic.
Cang felt that at this moment, she was like a female hunter leading a team, invincible and undefeated, with great composure and confidence. Coexisting with great ambitions...
The wind that blew her hair became sharp and harsh...
"Sang..., you... you mean to turn the Tianlang Tribe into a big... big city?" Lan asked tremblingly...
"Yes, but it's too early to say that now. It will take several years for the Tianlang tribe to grow to tens of thousands of people... maybe ten... maybe twenty years.
But as long as the tribe has me, it will definitely be realized in the future."
Cang looked at her under the night sky, the firelight shining on her body. It seemed that it was not a reflected color, but a color that came from her bones, hot, bright, enthusiastic... and aggressive.
At this moment, he realized how far away he was from Sang. She was standing on the top of the mountain, while he could only look down at her at the foot of the mountain.
Yesterday, he still had expectations for Sang, but now it seems that they were all illusions...
But he still likes Sang. He likes the gentle, delicate, and colorful Sang in the past, and he also likes the heroic, passionate, and fiery Sang now...
He is willing to follow behind Sang, even if Sang will not look back...
"Sang, I am astonished by your ambition and vision. Regardless of whether it can be realized in the future, I sincerely thank you for your contribution to our tribe.
Now that things have come to this, we should first focus on the present and not get tripped up when we start to walk towards the big city...
Tomorrow, everyone will go out as usual. I will also send the most flexible and concealed person in the tribe to follow the surveillance minions. They will definitely report to the leader, and you can hear their intentions by following them.
There will be a result tomorrow. I hope all this is just my unfounded worry, but if the invasion is true, we must fight with all our strength..."
Lei breathed a sigh of relief after saying this.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. If my guess is true, and the disparity in strength is truly immense, I will immediately choose to sacrifice everyone's lives and hand over the food...
As long as you are all here, the Tianlang tribe will survive forever.
Sleep peacefully tonight..."
Sang Tian was moved by such a leader. She had long known that Lei attached great importance to the interests and safety of the tribe, but she did not expect him to be able to do this.
When everyone is confused, analyze the situation clearly.
He digested and accepted Sang Tian's proposal for the future immediately and wanted to lay a solid foundation for the first step.
At the same time, he also understood the principle of "As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood", and put the lives of the people in the tribe first.
It must be said that Sang Tian admired him very much. He was brave, resourceful, righteous, sharp-eyed, and kindhearted...
With a leader like him, the Tianlang Tribe will one day shine brightly...
He clearly told everyone not to be afraid and to have a good rest.
But Sang Tian clearly saw his tightly bitten lips and the sweat on his forehead...
Sang Tian told everyone to wait for her, and she ran back to the cave in a few steps.
The animal skins I was holding when I came here were bulging...
Sang Tian pulled out the retractable machete and dagger handle and said calmly, "I believe everyone has noticed the two tools I use. They are indeed extremely sharp. They are from my former home."
Today, I'm giving them away.
Leader Shan, Leader Meng, Leader Lei, Leader Lan, as well as the most capable Cang and Yong from Hunting Team One, and Duan and Mu from Hunting Team Two. The ones whose names were just read out all had a machete and a dagger.
Take it and win the most perfect victory!"
The people who got the knives tried the sharpness of Sang Tian's tools.
They knew that Sang's two items might be as good as their bone knives, but they didn't expect... it was an overwhelming victory... there was no suspense at all.
Sang Tian's dagger is actually the Chinese Type 95 military bayonet, which is known as one of the "Top Ten Military Daggers in the World".
Used for close combat to kill enemy personnel. The handle is inlaid with wood and has grooves to prevent it from falling off; the blade is made with a blood groove to facilitate extraction.
The total length is 30.2cm, made of high-chromium alloy stainless steel. Compared with the knife made of bone, it can be said to be the Jade Emperor and the jinx...
However, the machete is not very famous. Sang Tian bought it in an antique knife shop. The owner said it was used by our ancestors during the Anti-Japanese War.
Of course, it is extremely sharp and well preserved. It should be the best batch at that time.
Besides being sharp, Sang Tian felt a sense of "righteousness." Honestly, there were so many terrifying legends about Shennongjia. Of course, she was afraid.
After all, this is the machete our ancestors used to kill the day, it must have the effect of suppressing evil spirits, and it can also give Sang Tian some confidence. With the knife, it is like the warrior who picked up this knife in the past is by her side, staring at the sneaky evil spirits around her...
Cang picked up the machete and chopped it hard on his bone knife. As a result... it was obvious that his bone knife broke...
Everyone was amazed at the sharpness of the two knives, and at the same time, they were extremely curious about Sang's hometown...
What kind of place is it that has such amazing things?
Everyone expressed their gratitude to Sang Tian, and the chief and the elders in the tribe also had a deep love and gratitude for Sang.
After Lei finished giving the order, he hurried to the sixth floor of the cave. Needless to say, he was going to find the witch to discuss countermeasures.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for him...
The people sitting in the square were also feeling depressed and nervous. After all, such things were rare in the tribe... Once invaded, it was either death or destruction...
How can I not be afraid?
Now it was truly a matter of life and death. The laughter and joy from half an hour ago had vanished completely...
In the cold wind, as quiet as a cicada.
The kids didn't know what was going on, but they could sense something was wrong and didn't dare to make a noise.
They were so sleepy that they kept yawning. Their mother had no choice but to solemnly take them away and coax them to sleep.
Later, everyone returned to the cave one by one.
I just don’t know how many people will not be able to sleep tonight... Duo was a little afraid to sleep, and Sang Tian’s bed happened to be not small, so she asked Duo to sleep with her.
Although they said they were sleeping, both of them just closed their eyes and neither of them fell asleep.
Sang Tian simulated the response method in her mind, and made sure they could not return...
