Chapter 229 Leaving the Tribe

The mountains and forests that were noisy all day seemed particularly quiet at night. The creatures in the mountains and forests hid in places they thought they were safe and gradually fell asleep.

"Swishy—" A gentle voice blew gently, and a snail raised his head vigilantly and watched the movements around him, but nothing was discovered except a breeze swept by.

According to the information given by Hu Yu and Fang Qiang, as long as you climb over two mountains, you can see the shadow of the town. However, after crossing the first mountain, Zhou Wutian discovered that the town forces that attacked the tribe during the day were stationed here and did not return to the town at all.

The discovery of this problem made Zhou Wutian temporarily stop his plan to go to the town, because Zhou Wutian didn't know whether this group of people was here because they wanted to avoid the danger of the night. When they set off after dawn tomorrow, they still wanted to fix it here and prepare to attack the tribe again.

In Zhou Wutian's opinion, the possibility of the first situation is relatively high. After all, if the troops of the forces in the town want to continue attacking, they will not retreat at the beginning. Since they retreat, they will naturally lose the opportunity to attack. Launching another attack will only lose their troops in vain.

In addition, there is another possibility, but it was quickly denied by Zhou Wutian. This possibility is that the people in the town plan to launch an attack at night, but this possibility is very small, because if the people in the town have such plans, they will never launch an attack during the day today. The attack during the day fails, and the tribes will definitely strengthen defense at night. At this time, the forces in the town have no chance to take advantage of.

Moreover, the nights in the mountains are even more dangerous. Even if there are fewer wild beasts that move during the day, some nocturnal wild beasts also appear.

At the same time, in addition to nocturnal animals, darkness is also one of the main effects. The bright moonlight is all blocked by the dense branches and leaves. Only a little light passes through the gaps between the branches and projects onto the ground, vaguely reflecting the outline of the forest. The shrub, which was originally half a person tall, is more like a curtain like a shadow, blocking a little light through the gaps between the branches and leaves. It is already very difficult to walk in such a mountain road during the day, and under the shadow of the night, the difficulty level increases exponentially.

Although it was confirmed that the forces in these towns would not launch a night attack, they had been staying here, so Zhou Wutian dared not leave with confidence. Therefore, Zhou Wutian quietly touched the group of people's residence under the shadow of the trees and the night, and hid in the dark corner, hoping to obtain some valuable news in it.

According to Zhou Wutian's speculation, the group of people stationed here are about 60, and their strength is stronger than ordinary people. They should be at the level of the Qi Refining Realm as Hu Yu mentioned. However, Zhou Wutian does not have much understanding of the Qi Refining Realm and cannot effectively infer the accurate power of these people. Of course, Zhou Wutian did not intend to calculate, because even if these people are all added up, they will not pose a threat to him.

"Damn it, I must report to Viscount Aki when I go back and clean up this proud guy." The man around the fire said angrily. This man was the leader of the tribe who led his men to attack during the day.

"You are right. After you go back, I must scold you in front of Lord Viscount and kill him well." Another person said. Zhou Wutian had never seen this person during the day, but listening to his tone, he must be the leader of the team that Hu Yu and the others encountered, "so that he understands that his weight is not enough to do whatever he wants in this mountain city."

"Yeah." Hearing that someone was in agreement with his own thoughts, the leader also relieved some of his resentment. He unbuttoned the wine pot on his waist and had to unbutton the lid to drink.

"Drinking alcohol will make you miss the problem. It is best to be careful in this place. Only when you go back alive can you study it." The man hurriedly stopped the leader again.

"It's right, it's right." The leader nodded quickly, put away the wine pot, and then stood up to let the people around him watch out for cleverness. In addition to being careful of the beasts that move at night in the mountains and forests, they should also be careful not to ignite the surrounding forests. After all, if they ignite the plants and trees everywhere, they will not be able to escape if they have many lives.

Looking at the simple crowds surrounding six places, the leader felt sad again, because at this time last night, there were still thirteen fires, a total of 130 people. Today, nearly half of the people were consumed. How could he not feel sad? These people are all his strength, and he has carefully cultivated and won over. It is the manifestation of his identity, but the foundation of his strength.

"Oh--" sighed, and the leader also found a pile of hays and lay down. Although he failed in this battle, he still had to survive.

As the night continued to become rich, the people stationed in the land gradually fell asleep, and Zhou Wutian gradually moved away from the station. Although the trees here were dense, once it was daytime, Zhou Wutian's whereabouts were easily exposed, so leaving early is the best strategy.

Although I didn't hear much, Zhou Wutian still obtained some key information in it, one is "mountain city" and the other is "viscount". "mountain city" should be the name of the nearest town, which should be the city that Hu Yu mentioned. Hu Yu fled in a hurry before and had never inquired about the name of the city. Although the tribe members had traded with the town, Hu Yu later confirmed that the tribe members were just trading with villages outside the town forces and had not really contacted the town, so they had no way of knowing the town.

Another key information, "viscount", made Zhou Wutian interested. This title name Zhou Wutian had seen in ancient books. It was the product of the ancient feudal system, with the emperor as the best, the prince, the prince, the son and the son and the son were the same, and all the five grades were divided into fiefdoms, and they could each call themselves a country and become a vassal state.

In the country of the princes, the princes can also be divided into feudals, but they cannot use the system of the emperor. They can only use the system of the princes, with the king as the superior, one noble, one senior, one senior, one sergeant, one sergeant, one sergeant, one sergeant, one sir, one sir, one sir, one sir, one sir, one sir, one sir, one sir, one sir, one sir, one sir, one sir, one sir, one sir, one sir, one sir, one sir, one sir, one sir, one sir, one sir. The place where the feudal is divided cannot be established, otherwise it will be regarded as a rebellion.

The reason for the ancient enfeoffment of titles was that the central government did not control the local area enough, and the feudal system was adopted to win people's hearts. This kind of title system was also continued to be used in Zhou Wutian's current Zhou Kingdom. For example, Zhou Wutian was the "prince" and second only to the emperor in terms of identity and status. In addition, there are titles such as "prince", "sen king", "county king", and "duke". However, these titles only have status symbols, and will not enfeoff the fiefdom, nor will they give rights, which is also a role in winning people's hearts.

But Zhou Wutian didn't know whether the title here was continued or the same as the ancient system. If it was the same as the ancient system, then Zhou Wutian could take a safe place to take over a fiefdom and develop its power with peace of mind without worrying about being targeted by the senior management of Fangguo. However, if it was the continued ancient system, then Zhou Wutian must be careful, because he might be involved in a centralized force, and he might be involved in one move.

After leaving the camping place of the group of people, Zhou Wutian continued to touch the darkness and headed towards the town. Although the night was dark and there was not much light, Zhou Wutian walked in the dark mountains and forests with the perception and strength of the practitioners. When it was approaching dawn, he was already approaching a place with people.

People refer to the smoke rising from the residents' chimneys, which refers to the residents. What Zhou Wutian saw now is really people, that is, a group of people are surrounded by a pile of smoke, some curled up and sleeping on the wood, while others are walking around, as if they are keeping watch.

Although the shape of the village is very vague, based on the number of people here and some of the dilapidated houses, Zhou Wutian inferred that this should be the residence of a village. There are about three or four hundred people in this village, most of which are four or five people gathered together and sat in a bunch of people. The surrounding area is surrounded by simple grass and wood fences, which is barely considered a residence. In addition, there are only a few houses that are barely surrounded by civil and wood, which is exactly the same as the houses of the tribe.

This time, Zhou Wutian finally understood why the tribe had been trading with towns for so much time, and with Hu Yu's guidance, he still built that kind of broken house. Because they saw the broken house, they built such broken houses according to the rules. In this regard, no wonder the tribe members at all. In fact, the tribe members have completely learned the methods of building these houses, or the houses in the tribe are better than those in this village.

In addition to the very simple house, or not as a house at all, the people living in it are also quite difficult. Most of them are skinny and covered with rough and shabby stitches. Many people don’t even have linens and directly wrap their leaves and grass around them to cover their private parts.

Zhou Wutian frowned and understood something in his heart. At this time, Zhou Wutian did not enter the village, and he did not intend to enter the village. After all, there are only dozens of families in this village. It is very conspicuous to enter it, which will definitely bring a lot of trouble. Moreover, Zhou Wutian did not think that this small village could bring him much information. Fortunately, when it was just dawn and his vision was not clear, he went around directly from one side of the village.

Along the way, Zhou Wutian saw several such villages, and some of them were not considered villages at all, but a group of people gathered around a bonfire. Similarly, Zhou Wutian did not enter these villages because he could not obtain any information. Although these should be considered villages, Zhou Wutian always felt that he had not left the mountains and forests because the terrain was still very large. Only some villages had empty land for cultivation, but most other places were still in the mountains and forests, and there was no trace of development at all.

If we compare these villages and tribal residents, the difference between the two is whether there is a difference between cobalt ceratops. Perhaps it is precisely because of the influence of cobalt ceratops that these villagers stopped them from continuing to penetrate into Fangshan and stopped in this place. This place is still part of Fangshan forest, but there is no cobalt ceratops.

Perhaps with this impression, Zhou Wutian continued to move towards the north. Because he was also walking among the mountains and forests, his walking speed was not very fast. In addition, he had to bypass those small villages or gathering places along the way, which was a lot of time.

Because the locations selected for these gathering places are relatively flat on the mountain, and if you want to bypass these places, the road you take is a bit difficult to walk with Zhou Wutian's skills, and some steep places can only be moved slowly.

Moving forward at such a speed, when it was dawn, Zhou Wutian had already crossed five mountains and bypassed eight small villages, but he still had no trace of a town.

The tribe said before that as long as you climb over two mountains, you can reach the place where they traded with the forces in the town. At this time, Zhou Wutian and the two first mountains had crossed five mountains. In this way, Zhou Wutian began to doubt this. Is it because everyone in the tribe deceiving him? But looking at the tribe's people, it was not like they were deceiving him. Could it be that he had walked by himself? The town was just two mountains away from the tribe, and he didn't find it when he came over? But this was impossible. That place was apart from the mountains and trees, and it didn't look like a place where there was a town.

With such distress, Zhou Wutian stopped fortunately, found a place, and took out the meat brought from the tribe. Now Zhou Wutian cannot use his energy and has to rely on food to replenish his energy.

In addition to meat, Zhou Wutian also has some brown branches. Because there is no concept of salt in the tribe. Usually, the people of the tribe get salt by chewing the brown branches to maintain it. Of course, the salt obtained in this way is very small. During these days when they lived in the tribe, Zhou Wutian tried to ask the tribe's people to find saline-alkali land and extract the salt from these brown trees, but they did not achieve much results. Because there is no saline-alkali land around, and the salt extracted from the juice of the brown trees is quite small. After so long, Zhou Wutian made a small pinch. Originally, relying on vitality, Zhou Wutian could not ask about grains or eat fireworks, but now he has no vitality and has to satisfy his desire for words, including salt and other things necessary for ordinary people.

After all, after eating this meal, Zhou Wutian wrapped the meat and tried to prevent it from smelling. After all, judging from the situation of the villages where Zhou Wutian passed by, if these meat was exposed, it might cause crazy robbery.

After solving the belly problem, Zhou Wutian sorted out his random thoughts and decided to continue on the road. He felt that there were some misunderstandings in the tribe's cognition and his ideas. Coupled with Hu Yu's guidance and mixing, the information was somewhat deviated. These deviations led to no trace of the town at all. However, what Zhou Wutian could be sure of was that there were no towns on the roads he came over, or the kind of towns he wanted to see.
